Yelu Hongji's death is a bit like the death of the village tyrant in the village, and he still has a stroke if he dies of illness......

It's dead anyway.

When it's dead, it's gone.

The Chinese people are tolerant of the deceased, even if the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State is very bad now, but at this moment, Zhao Xu can't make trouble because of dissatisfaction and dislike.

is like a village bully, who did all the evil things during his lifetime, but after his death, most of the people in the village had to give him a decent and decent funeral.

This is the Oriental way of thinking.

The living, not with the dead.

But for Da Song, there is another thing that troubles Da Song. When Emperor Renzong died, Yelu Hongji gave a salute, and the gift he took out was not heavy.

The whole country of Liao mourns.

The emperor personally set up a mourning hall in the capital of Liao to worship.

The capital of Liao also gave the people of the whole city a filial piety to Song Renzong.

It seems that it is not the male owner of the neighbor's house who died, but his own father, and his behavior is a bit excessive, but even if he has done this kind of thing, there is no way to blame him.

Coupled with the tolerance of the Chinese people towards the dead, even if Yelu Hongji is a villain with sores on his head and pus on the soles of his feet, he has to give the dignity he deserves.

This made Emperor Zhao Xu very awkward, thought about it, and felt that it was necessary to fight for it, anyway, let him set up a mourning hall in the Great Song Dynasty to worship the emperor of Liao, Zhao Xu felt that he couldn't do it.

The Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji died, which should be a happy event for the Great Song Dynasty!

Why do you have to have a funeral?

This thing is quite embarrassing.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Xu swallowed and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a way to drink and peck, the emperor of Liao died, and I ...... I was very saddened. But the problem is, when my father was buried, the Liao Kingdom didn't seem to pay enough attention to it, right? ”

The emperor meant, it's almost enough.

It's not my family's business, it's too grand, is it unlucky?

Renzong died, and that was more than forty years ago. At that time, Su Shi and Su Zhe's brothers were only in their teens, and Zeng Bu was not very old, and they were all studying in the school. This kind of old yellow calendar let him turn it out, and Zeng Buhui didn't remember what happened more than ten years ago?

The emperor made it clear that he didn't want to make a big deal, at least the young man's mind couldn't turn around. But for Zeng Bu, this is a good phenomenon, the emperor has a good face, is not black-bellied, and has an upright personality, which is easy to control. If you change to an emperor with a perverse personality and a black heart, these important ministers of the court will become the emperor's echo worms.

Zeng Bu said leisurely: "Your Majesty doesn't know, when the first emperor died, the Liao State also sent people. Originally, he was going to send the emperor's grandson Yelu Yanxi, but at that time, Cai Qu and other important ministers were unwilling to let the emperor and grandson of the Liao State enter the country. Because the emperor and grandson of the Liao State have personal guards, there are quite a few of them, and they are all cavalry. I am afraid that I will disturb the borders. The last to come was Jeruwuye. Moreover, the Liao State also held a ceremony for Emperor Shenzong, which was in the Xijing Royal Monastery of the Liao State. ”

"Yelu Wuya, it sounds like a familiar name......"

When Zhao Xu heard this name, he seemed to be a little impressed.

Zhang Dian echoed: "Your Majesty, this person is Yelu Hongji's right-hand man, and then he has been in Nanjing Road of the Liao State for a long time. ”

Only then did Zhao Xu remember that this was the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom. It's not just the right-hand man of the Liao Emperor. He remembered that when the envoys of the Liao State came to the Great Song Dynasty, they seemed to be very arrogant. The courtiers were afraid that the emperor would be disturbed by the Liao envoys, especially in the face of such a ruthless role as the king of the Southern Courtyard, Zhang Dian also deliberately asked the emperor before the meeting: "Are you afraid of the Liao envoys?" ”

Although Emperor Zhao Xu was only ten years old at that time, he still pretended to be very calm and said: "Liao people and beasts, why be afraid?" ”

These words really impressed Zhang Dan, and Zhao Xu also planted the seed that the Liao people were enemies under his young heart. The little emperor met with the envoys for the first time that year, and the calmness he showed shocked Yeluwu, and after he returned, he told Yelu Hongji that the Lord of Song had the appearance of a holy monarch.

Originally, I thought that the Liao people came to the Great Song Dynasty to mourn, which was a kind of uneasy and kind-hearted.

Who would have thought that Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liao, was a person who was enthusiastic about white things and was addicted to listening to legal affairs. He also showed enough respect for Emperor Shenzong, who died young. did not make excessive demands, and at the same time paid tribute to Shenzong in the Liao State.

This made Emperor Zhao Xu speechless, he was simply a beast!

The two families seem to be brothers, as for it?

Until now, Zhao Xu was also panicked. The feelings of Yelu Hongji are not respectful and blindly mixed with people, but this product originally likes to participate in white affairs.

When encountering an opponent with an abnormal brain, what can Zhao Xu do?

"In other words, my Great Song Dynasty needs to immediately greet the envoys of the Liao State, and then learn from the Emperor of the Liao State to do a ritual in Tokyo City?" When he said this, Zhao Xu didn't know how disgusting he was. Anyway, this thing is aggrieved!

Don't do it?

The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty did not understand etiquette.

If it's in Datang, or Dahan.

There is no problem at all, the Great Song Dynasty did not take this opportunity to send troops to attack the Liao State, which is already considered very martial.

But this can be done by the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, but not by the Song Dynasty.

The Great Song Dynasty established the country with Confucianism and Taoism, which is fundamental. Although the Han and Tang dynasties also founded the country with Confucianism and Taoism, but look at the scholars of the Han and Tang dynasties who did this?

There were more than 30 people in the class, and they killed 500 people in a daze, and then relied on their blood to recover the Western Regions. This is the epitome of Han and Tang scholars. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a scholar, but like a cultured martial artist, and he doesn't say anything impulsively, it's all big things.

But the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty are really weak!

Think about it, Zhang Dian is like this, when he was young, because of his good looks, the scholars who were arrested to 'borrow seeds' are already considered fierce people, how can the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty compare with others?

But it's awkward to do.

The emperor didn't care, Zhao Xu found out that he wanted to oppose Lin Xi before, and he was a fool. Encountering such an opponent as Yelu Hongji was his calamity.

No, it's not his calamity.

It was the calamity of his father and son.

This can't be helped, the Great Song Dynasty is the Central Plains culture, the inheritor of farming culture, and the Liao State is the inheritor of grassland culture. Perhaps in the eyes of the rulers of the Liao State, the relationship between Song and Liao is nothing more than a matter of you punching me and I punching you. This is the idea of the grassland, force is respected, if you have a big fist, I will be convinced.

But Da Song couldn't get by, he was beaten, and a year later, remember?

Ten years later?

Remember.

Even if a person dies, the son will continue to hold grudges.

But the Liao people don't think so, be careful, you beat you, don't you just call back?

This is the biggest difference between the two dynasties. Enemies, mortal enemies, are also treated in very different ways.

Even if Yelu Hongji is the emperor of Liao, isn't he a grassland man?

Since he is a grassland man, he thinks very simply, we are relatives, and when I am not short of food or drink, we can wear a pair of pants. When you haven't eaten or drunk, it's not impossible to grab you.

But the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty never had such thoughts.

That's the essential difference.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you see that the emperor of Liao has died, what kind of etiquette should the Great Song Dynasty deal with?" Zhao Xu compromised, and there was no way not to compromise. He even thinks that Yelu Hongji is a madman, and when he is good, he is like a family, and he fights black boxing in a blink of an eye.

Lin Xi pondered for a while, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, how do you think we do with reference to the Liao State?" ”

"You can't follow the image of Emperor Mingxiao." Zhao Xu was afraid that Lin Xi would not be able to carry it clearly, and he would fool around. If the whole country in the capital is mourning, what does this make the soldiers fighting on the border think?

For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, we are fighting hard with the enemy.

But it's better for you to sit down together and eat noodles in a blink of an eye. This feeling of betrayal will make the soldiers resentful and even angry towards the Great Song Dynasty, why?

Zhao Xu couldn't let Zeng Bu write an edict to tell the dawn people of the world and the soldiers in the army, because the emperor Yelu Hongji who had just died in the Liao State was too enthusiastic. Our Da Song can't be without courtesy and ignore it.

When these words are said, it is simple in the court, and the ministers will believe it, because many ministers are witnesses of the year.

The Emperor of Liao did send people back then, and the specifications were still very high. But the people didn't know, and the soldiers couldn't understand it.

After all, they didn't know that Yelu Hongji and his people were so twisted that even Zhao Xu felt a little twisted.

Su Zhe disagreed, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Huaxia has to do things according to Huaxia's etiquette." It has long been recorded in "Zhou Li" that the Liao State is considered to be the brother state of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zeng Bu was unhappy: "Su Xiang, what you said is simple, but what if the envoys of the Liao State find out that my Great Song Dynasty treated the death of the Emperor of the Liao State too perfunctory and accuse me of being rude to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"That's not the truth, you can't kneel for you with a dog, you have to kneel too, right?"

Su Zhe retorted in a very unkind tone, and Zeng Bu angrily thought that Su Zhe was insinuating against himself.

Zhao Xu suppressed his anger and said, "Don't argue, this matter is imminent." The envoy was also blocked at the pass, and escorting him into Kaifeng was the first step. What should I do after that, and act on the opportunity? ”

Subsequently, Zhao Xu ordered two people: "Zeng Bu." ”

"The minister is here."

"Brother Xiao Chang, the envoy of the Liao State, is an important minister of the Liao State, you go to receive him. Just go out of the city to greet you, right? Zhao Xu couldn't help but have a headache and said, "Forget it, go a little farther away, go to the Daimyo's Mansion to greet you." ”

"Then everything will be executed according to the etiquette of the allies, don't go too far."

"Lin Xi."

"The minister is here, you assist Zeng Bu."

"Ministers respect the Holy Decree."

Zeng Bu turned around and glanced at Lin Xi, and his heart suddenly became lively. Lin Xi, as long as you get on my ship, it will be difficult to go back.

However, Zhao Xu couldn't bear to be in Zhending Mansion and abandon Zhuozhou and Yanzhou, which was still acceptable for the Great Song Dynasty. After all, these lands and cities belonged to China in the past. But now it has been under the rule of the Liao State for more than a hundred years, and if you insist that people are Song people, it is estimated that few people have agreed.

But in case An Dan wants to lose Xiongzhou and Zhending Mansion, it will be a catastrophe for the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xu also felt that An Xuan was unreliable, and wanted to remedy it, so he simply used Fan Chun: "Intention, promote Fan Chun to Beijing." ”

This is ready to be reused by Fan Chun.

This made Zhang Dian and Cai Bian a little nervous. Every time I tried to break the emperor's bottom line again and again, I didn't expect the emperor to rebound at this juncture.

There is no way to use Fan pure.

In fact, there are very few people who can use the Fa Reform faction, especially on the border, and there are few Wenchen with combat experience who can use it.

Zhang Ji is counted as one, and Lu Huiqing is also counted as one.

The former has been reused, and even has high hopes, and the latter does not dare to use it.

During the next dynasty, Taishi Liu Baosheng accompanied Li Kui to leave the imperial city. Both of them walked leisurely in the imperial city.

The former has nothing to do, he went to the court, but he was a little embarrassed to take the court's money, and even participated in the court meeting. But if he really participated, he wouldn't have the right to speak.

Of course, Li Kui is different.

His office was outside the Imperial City, near the Baokang Gate.

It is much easier and more free than sitting in the imperial city.

"Virtuous son-in-law, Dr. An Shen gave me a prescription, I can give birth to a son after eating for a long time. I'll give you the prescription when I come home for dinner later. ”

"Father-in-law, be careful, it's a poisonous medicine, don't be in a hurry about this matter."

Li Kui doesn't care that his family is all daughters. Already the father of the three golden flowers. Anyway, in his opinion, as long as the number is large enough, there will be no shortage of sons anyway.

It will not affect the inheritance of the Li family.

Liu Baosheng said anxiously: "How can this work, if you want to have a son when you are old, it will hurt your body!" ”

Liu Baosheng told Li Kui very experiencedly how difficult life is. The key one is tired!

Liu Baosheng is quite anxious about the current situation of the old Li family, Ding Buwang, they are all daughters, how to carry the incense of the Li family. Li Kui was not in a hurry, and felt that Liu Baosheng was a little too persistent.

It can even be said to be obsession.

Why did he send the fourth Liu Qingjing to the palace in the first place, it was that Liu Baosheng felt that he had no hope of having a son. can only count on her daughter to become a dragon and phoenix among people.

It's a pity that in the end, the queen didn't do it.

Later, Lao Liu's family developed, and his obsession with giving birth to a son was hooked again.

"Virtuous son-in-law, there have been people in the family who have come to give gifts recently. I can't wipe my face if I refuse, but I don't know what people want to do, and I don't want to go. Liu Baosheng asked Li Kui hesitantly: "What the hell is going on, even if you ask people what they want to do, no one says, do you think it's strange?" ”

There is nothing strange about this, Li Kui was like a mirror in his heart, and asked: "Are they all Jiangmen?" ”

"Yes! The civil official didn't even look at the old man, who else could he be if he wasn't the gate? Liu Baosheng said with a humble heart: "It can't be that these people want to send their children to the camp on the northern front and follow you to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, right?" ”

"No!"

Li Kui shook his head and said: "In the army, even if you are the main general, if you are really killed, you can't escape." If you are a descendant, you will not be placed in the army during the war. If you die, won't the bamboo basket be empty? ”

"Why is that?"

Liu Baosheng was also stunned, he knew that his name was not as good as his son-in-law in Jiangmen. But the problem is that he doesn't dare to refuse these gift-givers!

The Liu family.

Cao family.

Gao family.

They are all first-class high-ranking lords and giants in the army. Such a family, even if Liu Baosheng has a daughter who is the imperial concubine, he will not rush to slap him.

The only explanation is that Li Kui is here.

However, after Li Kui hesitated, he sighed and said: "This favor can't help, so I can only find a chance to pay it back." Father-in-law, you write me a list, and I will return this favor. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"Your Majesty wants to form the Second Army of the Praetorian Guard, and the main general, partial general, and battalion general have not been decided."

When Liu Baosheng heard that it was military power, he immediately said busily: "This favor can't be helped, and the favor can't be repaid, this is kicking the two of us into the fire pit!" ”
