Chapter 61: Another Discovery
Xiao Ta didn't smoke and rubbed her husband's slender hand on his temples, frowning slightly, Yelu Dashi was puzzled, and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"The concubine may be extreme, listening to what the lord said, thinking of the news that came, I thought that it would be good if the Zhao Song official family folded in the rebellion under the Li Mountain...... It's so petty! After all, Xiao Ta is not the queen mother who will be in charge of power in the future, and he was a little embarrassed to say it, and stroked the hanging beads on his forehead.
Yelu Dashi heard this, drank a glass of wine, and said: "Queen, you are honest, in fact, it is not just you, a few ministers of the Manchu Dynasty don't think so in their hearts, but they are embarrassed to say, it's me, don't you look forward to Zhao Jiu in Cangzhou dying in front of me." ”
Xiao Ta Buyan was a little surprised, and said: "But the concubine feels that the lord has always cherished this Zhao Song official." ”
"Indeed, Zhao Jiu's popularity and ability are really few people in my life who I admire. But the queen, Song Liao has a hundred years of enmity, you don't think that if you form an alliance today, you will be truly brothers. Now is no longer the time for the Tanyuan Alliance, otherwise, why should we continue to march west? Is it only him Yelu Yanshan thinking about his hometown, why don't I want to go back to our homeland, why don't I want to go back to Linhuang Mansion to see the reed flowers again, and then recite a sentence when I go out of the city for a picnic in autumn, and the white dew is frost? Then take our Yilie and Pusuwan (the son and daughter of the two) to Yanyuntai to see the exploits of our ancestors, and go to Shangjing Road to pay tribute to the white horse and green cow? But the tower is not smoking, we all understand that it is impossible, there is no Song Zhenzong in the Song Kingdom today! Under the revelation of his true feelings, it was a private conversation between husband and wife, and he didn't even need "I".
After all, if the Great Liao is immortal, is he really willing to put a great future and come to this land of thousands of miles to start from scratch?
Xiao Ta Buyan was also sad and unbearable when he heard it, but he also understood that her husband was right, and said with a forced smile: "No wonder Brother Yelu Nu asked you to discuss with the Zhao Guanjia a few days ago, and exchanged the six states of Hexi and Kedun City for the land of Liaodong outside the sixteen states of Yanyun, and was severely reprimanded by you, not to mention the Zhao Song official family, the civil and military forces under his command will not agree, and will only block the trade between the two countries." ”
Yelu Dashi held his wife's hand and sighed: "You understand this layer, I will be relieved a lot in the future, although the gift of Princess Zhao Song is a trivial matter, but it is also a small favor, I heard that this Zhao Jiu loves his three daughters very much, and it will not be wrong to be polite." ”
He is very optimistic about his wife in his heart, but he doesn't want to praise her too much, so that he can't recognize the reality in the future.
Perhaps wanting her husband to relax, Xiao Ta Buyan squeezed his shoulder again, and said casually: "Yes, the concubine must do a good job." Speaking of which, I heard that there were originally many children in the Zhao Song official family, but they were all folded in that catastrophe, and only two surviving early years were sent back. Earlier, there were rumors that he remembered the tragedy when he looked at it, and he didn't like it, so it seems that the rumors are not accurate! ”
"This is naturally nonsense." Yelu Dashi also relaxed, and said casually: "Manly man, when the earth collapses and the mountain destroys the strong man to die, then naturally he can't care about anything, he can only preserve the living force to plot his family and country, and revitalize the ancestral industry." But when the days are good, how can I dislike my own flesh and blood, and I will only blame myself for not having the ability to protect them, otherwise I will not be with Emperor Tianzuo and the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, but if this is the case, I don't have to bother so much. ”
The Zhao Guanjia, who was bothered by Yelu Dashi, arrived in Lingzhou on the territory of Ningxia Road on March 12 of this year, and for this reason, Hu Hongxiu did not sleep well for two days after Ningxia Jingluo, and sent a letter to Ren Baozhong and Li Shifu, the envoys of Datong Road, asking the latter to bring a small number of soldiers to come to guard.
After all, Ningxia Luduo Party Xiang Tubo and other ethnic minorities are not expected by everyone to see Emperor Song reign in the world, and the contradictions in the armed struggle have not been broken over the years, maybe there will be an assassin anywhere. If something happens again, it's not a ridiculous misunderstanding in Lishan, but a real blood. Ren Baozhong and Li Shifu, as party members, are only more worried than him, and they also know that they are powerful.
However, Li Shifu's marshal was stationed at the border guarding Western Mongolia, so how could he dare to leave Datong without will. Fortunately, his boss Qu Duan was empathetic, and he also cared about the safety of the official family the most, and asked himself to temporarily replace Li Shifu to garrison and exchange people for accompanying him.
As a result, Lingzhou, which was still the Forte of Western Xia a few years ago, now has 2,000 imperial front classes, 500 imperial camps, Li Shifu, deputy commander of the imperial cavalry army, and 1,000 under his command, and 1,000 rear troops of the imperial camp, totaling 5,000 men and horses.
I knew that he was here to govern the river, but I didn't know that I thought that this was going to carry the dragon to fight a small battle!
However, when it comes to river governance, Zhao Guan's family really gained insight when he went out this time, it turned out that Lingxun not only happened in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, but also suffered heavy losses in Ningxia! No wonder Zhao Tong was tired and fell on the river embankment before.
Liu Hongdao looked at Zhao Guan's family and didn't say anything, sitting on the river beach for a long time, a little ashamed, after all, he, the governor of the river, didn't seem to have done anything serious these days except for sorting out the documents, surveying the river and analyzing the hydrology is the general judgment and part-time clerk Zhao Ziyan, who is responsible for supervising and really finding the criminals, patrolling the river Yu Shi Shawn, that is, on Jingdong Road, I heard that You Xuezhi is also doing a good job, and the route of the flood discharge and the drawing are waiting for him to sign and report to the official family.
Then are you worthy of this money?
In this regard, he had no choice but to step forward and persuade: "Official, the northwest wind and sand are strong, you should take care of your body." Seeing that the people in the audience did not react, Yang Yizhong gave him a look quietly, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "In fact, this Lingxun incident has existed since ancient times, and it is caused by the geographical location and river form. As with the Yellow River, when the river is thawed at the beginning of spring, the ice water will fall, the ice will be congested, and the water level will rise, forming a flood that will inundate farmland and wash away the embankment. In particular, the official family said that after the founding of the Western Xia Dynasty, they did not pay attention to the protection of the ecological balance, soil erosion, and would not be able to govern it, so there are such phenomena in Ningxia and Hedong here, that is, the river section produces ice jams and floods that cause flooding disasters. Previously, the Hancheng County Commander had asked the old farmers to guess that there would be a flood this year, so he forcibly requisitioned the people to chisel ice with boulders regardless of the infamy. ”
Zhao Jiu finally reacted and said, "This county order is doing well, do you know what his name is?" ”
Liu Hongdao replied: "The official family must not have imagined, this person's name is Wang Jue, he is the great-grandson of Wang Shuwang (Wang Anshi), and he was crowned Xuanyilang in his early years. ”
Then Zhao Jiu really couldn't think of it, "If that's the case, why is he still a county magistrate in ten years, and he doesn't look like an incompetent person, and he is not from the public cabinet, is he also discriminated against?" ”
This Liu Hongdao doesn't quite understand, but isn't there a know-it-all Yang Yizhong! He explained: "So that the official family knows that Wang Shu Wang ran through Linchuan on Jiangnan West Road, and Wang Jue also fled back after Jingkang, and later because he was not angry with the country, he served under the command of King Zhang Qi, but ....... His temper is very similar to his great-grandfather, and it is said that he once reprimanded the king of Qi for being greedy for money and lustful, and saw that Zhang Xianggong was in danger and did not save him....... It was also thanks to the official family's respect for Wang Shuwang, he was driven home by the king of Qi, and later Yaoshan voted for Wang Yan, the king of Anyang County, in the first battle, but repeatedly said that he could not privatize the army....... So when the official family integrated Kansai, he was transferred to a civilian position, but because he participated in Liu Xianggong's narrow and selfish sense, he had to go to Hu Yinxianggong's hands, and he was finally stunned. It is said that after Hu Xianggong presided over the overall situation of Yanjing, he intended to recommend this person as an official, but he thought that the livelihood of Hancheng was withering, and he wanted to finish this session before resigning. ”
Zhao Guanjia was stunned when he heard this, this is a peerless great ancestor, I'm afraid it's not Wang Anshi's reincarnation, no, Wang Anshi's reincarnation doesn't offend people like this, and they all offend their bosses.
No wonder, Hu Yin and this person have the right temper, "I feel that he has made great contributions this time, this Yanjing construction is slow, and it is precisely because there is no such capable minister, so he should be busy with this spring ploughing, and go to Yanjing Mansion as a pusher." Over there, go and say hello. ”
Liu Hongdao and Yang Yizhong hurriedly said yes, and then Zhao Guanjia stood up, looked at the fields that were in a mess by the flood not far away, and sighed: "I still have to come out for a walk in the future, or how can I know the inside story if I sit in the temple for many things?" ”
Yang Yizhong, who was already relieved, suddenly felt suffocated, feeling that he might die young if he continued like this.
But he couldn't help but think about it more, because the sunset rose and the sunset, Zhao Guan's family sighed, and he had to go to Hu Jingluo to chat by the way.

Please briefly describe the impact of the Golden River Alliance.
Standard Answer:
The alliance of the Jinhe River refers to the alliance held by Zhao Jiu of the Song Dynasty on the bank of the Jinhe River (Baotou area) in the Houtao in the autumn of the sixth year of the founding of the Song Dynasty. The premise of this alliance was that the Song Liao joined forces to carve up the Western Xia and forced the Jurchens to withdraw from the Houtao region, which was the first time that the Song Dynasty took the initiative to attack and achieved a complete victory since Jingkang. The specific impacts are as follows:
First: The Song-Jin War entered a stage of strategic stalemate, and the Song army took the initiative to cut off the puppet Qi and Western Xia who submitted to the Jin State, and united with the rest of the Western Liao and the Mongol tribes with a strong desire to resist the Jin, forcing Goryeo to remain neutral. Cleared the obstacles for the strategic counterattack and strengthened the idea of resisting Jin within the imperial court.
Second, it redefined the relationship between Song and Liao, cleared the sense of humiliation of the Tanyuan alliance within the Song court, and laid the political pattern in Asia for a century.
Third: Through the coronation ceremony, Western Liao and Eastern and Western Mongolia were blurred into vassals of the Song Dynasty, creating conditions for the return of the six states of Hexi later.
Fourth, the peaceful trade model established after the alliance promoted the integration of multiple ethnic groups and the reform of Mongolian sinicization.
