Chapter 56: The Great Event (Seeking Reading)
In Yanfu Palace, Emperor Daojun was furious, and it was the beloved lotus flower that was dusted, and it was also broken in half and discarded on the ground.
Zhao Ta stood in front of the door, speechless for a while, looking at Emperor Daojun and roaring to himself: "I want to abolish the Tanyuan Alliance, I will definitely abolish the Tanyuan Alliance, see how dare these Khitan slaves!" ”
Zhao Ta rubbed his head, knowing that Emperor Daojun was very likely to make this matter, after all, the Maritime Alliance dared to decide such a big thing, but the reason for this was definitely not for the sake of his family and country, Emperor Daojun was a typical bully of the weak and afraid of the hard, when it was strong, it was weak, and when it was weak, it was strong.
He watched the Jurchen defeat of the Liao State, and despised the Liao in his heart, if the Liao State came at this moment and the Song army was defeated, I am afraid that he would take the initiative to add some years of coins.
After beating for a while, Emperor Daojun looked at Zhao Ta who was in a daze in front of the door, and said, "Second brother, this Khitan Yi slave has been bullied to me, you have to vent your anger for me!" ”
Zhao Ta thought to himself, it's no problem to get angry, but you have to know what it is.
"Daddy......" As soon as Zhao Ta spoke, he saw Emperor Daojun suddenly grab a letterhead on the imperial book case, and fell to the case again.
"Second brother, look at it yourself, Yanxi Xiao'er is simply arrogant!"
Zhao Ta stepped forward in confusion, picked up the letterhead and looked carefully, it was indeed written by Yelu Yanxi, I don't know if it was really written by himself, and the calligraphy seemed to be good.
After reading the letterhead for a while, he felt that what the letter said was too child's play, that is, to provoke the Daojun Emperor, after all, no matter the Northern Liao and Western Xia, they all knew that this emperor loved face the most.
Zhao Ta said: "Daddy, the Liao State wants to send someone to set up a ring on the royal street, and I will be a master of martial arts in the Great Song Dynasty, but this is their own heart!" ”
Emperor Daojun said: "Second brother, what do you say about this? If it is a sumo ring, I have a third-class in-class son, and a ninth-class wrestler, so I can naturally win a big victory, as for martial arts, I am afraid that the imperial boxing gym will not be useful! ”
This dynasty loved sumo very much, but the sumo here is not the same as that of other countries in later generations.
Zhao Ta nodded, if it was really sumo, the strength of the inner class raised by the royal family was extremely strong, even if it was a Liao, he felt that he would win.
But Liao does not put sumo rings, but wants to put a martial arts fist and foot ring, he has worshiped Zhou Tong as a teacher since he was a child, and knows that there is no master in the imperial boxing gym, Zhou Tong has countless famous disciples, most of them are embroidered with fists and legs, and they cannot be passed on.
"Second brother, take a look, this Yanxi child actually said that if I am afraid and dare not take the ring, I will increase the annual currency by 50,000 yuan, and I will also levy an additional 20% of the commercial tax in the field, if I lose the ring, I will also have to pay the same compensation!" Emperor Daojun said angrily.
Zhao Ta pondered, this kind of child's play will also provoke you, and if you are a bystander, ignore it, he said: "Daddy, what do the ministers in the court say?" ”
Emperor Daojun said angrily: "There are different opinions, and they say that they will lose face if they don't take the ring, and they will be even more embarrassed if they can't fight after the next one. ”
Zhao Ta said secretly, sure enough, they are all a group of good ministers: "Daddy, the child said that this is the Liao country's weak heart, probably true, Daddy, think about it, the Jurchen defeated the Liao country, and the whole country in Northern Liao is mourning, I am afraid that my Celestial Dynasty will see him weak and take the opportunity to march to the army, his move is just a suspicion and a bluff." ”
Emperor Daojun thought for a moment when he heard this, and said, "What the second brother said is reasonable, but I am ...... I can't help but accept this ring, if I don't, the matter will be rumored, and it will inevitably make the people of the world, especially those small countries, laugh! ”
Zhao Ta said: "This matter can be considered, but the child has never seen in the letter that if this Liao Kingdom loses, what should it do?" ”
Emperor Daojun was stunned when he heard this, stretched out his hand and grabbed the letterhead and looked at it from the beginning, and couldn't help but say: "It's true that I haven't said it, Yanxi Xiao'er is too deceitful!" ”
Zhao Ta said: "This is a gentleman in Liao who can be bullied, and the villain's behavior is also completely ignored by my father." ”
Emperor Daojun got up and suddenly said, "Second brother, if I send you to have the right to do this, can you be sure?" ”
Zhao Ta sighed secretly, his words were so clear, but he still wanted to fight, even if he didn't win any lottery, he only left a good face.
Emperor Daojun said again: "Yanxi is treacherous, if you don't fight, you will fall into his handle, I think I can win if I am defeated." ”
Zhao Ta glanced at him, didn't you say that, and this is the confidence that you dare to fight the Liao State with the Jurchens in the future? It's all about imagination?
"I'm a little sure." Zhao Ta said.
"How sure is the second brother?" Emperor Daojun immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Daddy, I heard that there are some capable people who are proficient in martial arts in Liao, and they are only about sixty percent." Zhao Ta didn't dare to say more, for fear that if he said too much, what would this Daojun Emperor do.
"Good, good!" Emperor Daojun changed his face when he heard this, and said happily: "That's enough, second brother, you will preside over this matter, and tomorrow I will announce it in the court, and see where those ministers are putting their cheeks." ”
Zhao Ta sighed slightly in his heart, at this time, you still want to slap the face of the courtiers, completely ignoring what is good if you lose, and you really don't leave a way out to do things, and it is really difficult to say.
"Daddy, tomorrow the child will not go to court." Zhao Ta knew that he should show up for this kind of thing, but he didn't want to talk about it.
"The second brother can not go to court, and the will will be sent to your house." Emperor Daojun was happy in his heart, he was an unruly person, and he didn't care what he was going to court.
Zhao Tali left the palace, his face was deep on the road, the Liao State was indeed empty-hearted, and he was defeated in a battle with the Jurchens, for fear that the Great Song Dynasty would copy the back road, and the counterattack was calculated.
But the major events of the military state, the artifact of the society, the sword of life and death, how important is it, how can it be tempted by a ring? It can be seen that the court of Liao State is already a mess at the moment, and there are no people with political opinions, so they can only do some child's play.
But on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, this kind of childish trick is still regarded as a thing, from the emperor to the minister, they still discuss it decently, and they have to pick up the other party, which is not even a strategy!
Zhao Ta shook his head secretly, walked out of the palace city and entered the sedan chair, walked not far, suddenly lifted the curtain and looked back, but saw that the huge palace city was drowsy under the night......
Another few days passed, Zhao Ta had already received the holy decree, counting the days of the Liao envoys about to arrive in Tokyo, sure enough, another day at noon, someone came to report that the Liao delegation of more than 380 people had arrived at the east gate of Kaifeng.
According to the usual practice, this kind of thing needs to be greeted by an official sent by the Ministry of Rites, and he, who is in charge, must also make a statement.
However, Zhao Ta didn't go out for a day, let alone send his subordinates, just sat in the middle hall and drank tea.
After dinner, when the sky was still bright, Lei San entered the door and reported: "Lord Wang, there are people outside asking to see you." ”
Zhao Ta said: "Who is it? ”
Lei Sandao said in a suppressed voice: "The subordinates look at their words and deeds, and they call the eyeliner sent out to compare, it seems to be ...... The people of the Liao delegation came in disguise. ”
Zhao Ta's eyes lit up, straightened up slightly, and whispered to himself, "It's finally here." ”
