Chapter 434: Evil Recipe: Moral Kidnapping
"Yelu Hongji is dead!"
When the news reached Da Song, Fan Zheng couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhao Xu said disapprovingly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are reincarnation, Yelu Hongji is nearly seventy years old, and it is common sense to die of illness, after all, thousand-year-old ginseng can only continue life, not bring the dead back to life."
Fan Zheng shook his head, according to the process of later generations, Liao Daozong should have more than a year to live, plus there are thousands of years of ginseng recuperation, it can only live longer, and it should not have died so early.
However, although Fan Zheng is a famous doctor, after all, he is thousands of miles away from Liao, and coupled with the news of Yelu Yanxi's blockade, Fan Zheng did not notice anything abnormal.
"Yelu Hongji is old, old and mediocre, believes in Buddhism, is arrogant and lascivious, and acts cautiously, which makes Song Liao keep peace, but at the same time, it also makes the Great Song Dynasty have no chance to take advantage of it, and Yelu Yanxi has just ascended the throne, I am afraid that it is the time when he needs to establish his authority, and I am afraid that the situation between the two countries will rise again!" Fan Zheng said with emotion.
Zhao Xu nodded slightly, he was the same age as Yelu Yanxi, so he naturally understood the young man's thoughts, Yelu Yanxi had just ascended the throne and must act aggressively, which would certainly bring risks to the relationship between Song and Liao, but at the same time, it could not give the Great Song Dynasty an opportunity.
"There is no need to worry too much, Yelu Yanxi has just ascended the throne, and he must be eager to control the power of the Liao State, and in a short time, he will not provoke the Great Song Dynasty." Zhao Xu shook his head and said.
"Now there is news from the Liao Kingdom, let the Great Song Dynasty send an envoy to mourn! I don't know how His Majesty decides! Fan Zheng bowed.
Zhao Xu sneered and said: "Western Xia and Liao are the countries of Weng's sons-in-law, it is natural for Western Xia to go to mourn, and my Great Song is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, how can I go to Liao to mourn, I decided not to send an envoy to Liao to provoke Yelu Yanxi." ”
"Don't send a messenger to mourn!" Fan Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, and then suddenly understood Zhao Xu's intentions.
Zhao Xu, as the emperor, naturally does not rely on his own preferences, the Great Song Dynasty is determined to dominate the world, Yelu Yanxi has just ascended the throne, he will definitely not be able to stand this humiliation, and under impulse, he will definitely make mistakes, which gives the Great Song Dynasty an opportunity.
Fan Zheng thought for a while and persuaded: "Think twice, although the Liao and Song dynasties are not the country of Weng's son-in-law, but according to the alliance of Lanyuan, it is a country of brothers, and besides, the two countries are not at war, and the etiquette that should have been there is indispensable, so they should send people to mourn." ”
Fan Zheng knew that after Yelu Hongji's death, the Great Song Dynasty did not send a messenger to offer condolences, and this time, Fan Zheng was ready to persuade Zhao Xu to change this decision.
"Send a messenger to offer condolences!" Zhao Xu frowned and looked at Fan Zheng puzzled.
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "When Renzong died, Yelu Hongji said to the Song envoy who came to report the funeral that there had been no war between Song and Liao for forty-two years, and the whole country was commemorated, and now thirty-six years have passed in a hurry, Yelu Hongji died, and the official family can say to the Liao envoy that the two countries have not been at war for seventy-eight years, and pay tribute to Yelu Hongji. ”
Zhao Xu frowned, then thought for a moment, and his eyes gradually lit up.
Everyone knows that the greatest enemy of the Great Song Dynasty is the Liao State, and before the Great Song Dynasty wants to defeat the Liao State, then it must destroy the Western Xia, if the Great Song Dynasty hypes that the Song and Liao have not fought for seventy-eight years, and pays tribute to Yelu Hongji's behavior.
In the future, the Great Song Dynasty launched a war against the Western Xia, and Yelu Yanxi would definitely be jealous, even if Yelu Yanxi decided to fight against the Song Dynasty, once the war fell into disadvantage, Yelu Yanxi's crime of starting a war without authorization would definitely be counterattacked.
"What's the name of this evil recipe?" Zhao Xu laughed and said without hesitation.
Fan Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "I heard that the Liao State is called Daozong for Yelu Hongji, and this party is called moral kidnapping. ”
"Moral kidnapping, as its name suggests."
Zhao Xu thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but be amazed.
As soon as this party came out, the Great Song Dynasty only needed a few fake words to make the Liao State tie its hands and feet.
"Someone! Su Shi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites! Zhao Xu waved his hand.
Soon, Su Shi responded to the call, bowed down and said, "Wechen has seen the official family!" ”
Zhao Xu ordered Su Shi: "The Liao State came to report the funeral, Yelu Hongji died, and he was called Daozong, during his reign, the Song and Liao countries were harmonious, the two countries did not have a war for 78 years, and the people of the two countries lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they were really the moral model of the emperors in the world. ”
"Ahh
Su Shi was suddenly surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Xu to respect Yelu Hongji so much, but he didn't expect that during Yelu Hongji's reign, Zhao Xu led the Great Song Dynasty to flourish, and several times he wanted to have a big war, but Liao Daozong finally restrained him, and Yelu Hongji was still the benefactor of the rise of the Great Song Dynasty.
"At the same time, you personally led the team to the Liao Kingdom to offer condolences! In order to express the Great Song Dynasty's respect for Taoism. Zhao Xu said solemnly.
Su Shi is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is the highest official of the Great Song Dynasty to the outside world, and Su Shi personally mourned Yelu Hongji of Liao Daozong, which is enough to express the importance of the Great Song Dynasty to Yelu Hongji.
"Obey the order!" Su Shi said solemnly.
At that moment, Su Shi received the order and immediately published Yelu Hongji's obituary in the Di newspaper, and spoke highly of Yelu Hongji's life, praising him as a moral model for the emperors of all dynasties.
"The Great Song Dynasty's evaluation of my first emperor of the Great Liao, the old minister will definitely report to the new emperor truthfully after returning to China."
In the convoy heading north, the envoy of the Liao State was greatly moved, he did not expect that the Great Song Dynasty would have such a high opinion of Yelu Hongji.
Su Shi said with a sad face: "Now my Song Liao has been without war for seventy-eight years, this is the peace that the Central Plains Dynasty and the Grassland Dynasty have never had, His Majesty Daozong has made great contributions, and the official family hopes that the two countries will continue to pass on this peace and strive to achieve a hundred years of peace, no, two hundred years, three hundred years of peace." ”
"Thank you for the auspicious words of the Great Song Dynasty!" The envoy of the Liao State said respectfully.
If it was before, the envoy of the Liao State would not believe that the Great Song Dynasty would have such respect for the first emperor, and now the Great Song Dynasty openly praised Yelu Hongji's deeds in the newspaper, and sent the world-famous Su Shi Su University to mourn Yelu Hongji, which can be described as extremely grand.
Su Shi took the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty all the way north, and soon crossed the border and came to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
"Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures!"
Looking at the people of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures dressed up and facing the same Han people, Su Shi sighed with emotion, because this is the biggest pain in the Great Song Dynasty, and if the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are not recovered for a day, the Great Song Dynasty will not be at peace for a day, and will always be under the threat of the Liao State.
What made Su Shi even more vigilant was that when the convoy of the Great Song envoys passed by, the Han people in the sixteen states of Yanyun showed vigilant eyes, and only when very few literati learned that he was a dignified Su scholar, they showed a little kindness, but they only appreciated his literary talents, and did not have the slightest sense of belonging to the Great Song Dynasty.
"If the Great Song Dynasty wants to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Su Shi couldn't help but sigh.
However, Su Shi did not stay, but directly followed the Liao envoys to Shangjing.
"What, the Great Song Dynasty praised the emperor's grandfather and called him a moral model for the emperors of the world!"
When Yelu Yanxi, the new emperor of Liao, heard the news, he couldn't believe it.
"Our dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty have had seventy-eight years of peace, and the first emperor has been alive for decades, and he has not used swords and soldiers, so that the people of Song and Liao have been stable, which is a grand event that has never been seen by emperors in all dynasties." Xiao Wuna, the prime minister of Liao, praised it.
"Not only that, but it also sent the world-famous Su University scholars to come to mourn!" Liao Chen said proudly.
Su Shi's poems are also famous in the Liao Kingdom in the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention that they are the books of the Ministry of Rites in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty can be said to have given the Liao State enough face.
And Yelu Zhangnu on the side snorted coldly and said: "The little emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is ambitious, and he suddenly shows favor to Da Liao, and he must harbor evil intentions, and please let Your Majesty know it." ”
Although this era does not understand the harm of moral kidnapping, Yelu Zhangnu, who has always had the heart of a villain, is keenly aware of the wrongness.
Xiao Wuna snorted coldly: "The Great Song Dynasty's show of favor is to harbor evil intentions, does Lord Yelu think that the Great Song Dynasty treats the Liao State indifferently, and even does not come to mourn and embarrass the first emperor?" ”
Xiao Wunanai is Yelu Hongji's auxiliary minister to Yelu Yanxi, and Yelu Zhangnu is the henchman of the new emperor, the two naturally have contradictions, the two have long been unaccustomed to each other, and the conflict finally broke out at this moment.
Yelu Yanxi had just ascended the throne and was in need of the support of old ministers like Xiao Wuna, so he comforted at the moment: "The Great Song Dynasty may be returning the emperor's grandfather to praise Song Renzong's kindness!" Since Da Song is so knowledgeable, I can't slack off. ”
Yelu Yanxi has a ghost in his heart, and he just wants to let Yelu Hongji's funeral go on in a beautiful manner, showing his pure filial piety, and Da Song's actions are exactly what he wants.
"By the way, the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty have arrived, where are the envoys of Western Xia?" Yelu Yanxi said coldly.
Yelu Zhangnu bowed his head and said: "Qiyu Guanjia, the envoys of Western Xia are led by Princess Nanxian and have entered the territory of Liao. ”
Yelu Yanxi snorted coldly: "Back then, Xixia repeatedly asked for marriage, and the imperial grandfather was gracious, but now that the imperial grandfather has passed away, why didn't Li Qianshun come in person as his grandson-in-law." ”
The officials of the Liao State immediately bowed their heads and were silent, according to the folk customs, Li Qianshun, as his grandson-in-law, should indeed come in person, and Li Qianshun, as the emperor of Western Xia, naturally could not leave Western Xia innocently for a few months.
In fact, if it was normal times, it would not be rude for the Western Xia envoys to be led by Yelu Nanyin to mourn, but compared with the grandeur of the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Xia was already a small country, and there was also a relationship between his grandson-in-law, which immediately caused Yelu Yanxi's dissatisfaction.
Soon, the envoys of the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty arrived in Shangjing of the Liao State before and after, and the world-famous Su scholars suddenly stole everyone's limelight.
Su Shi, who was instructed by Zhao Xu, personally wrote a memorial text for Yelu Hongji of Liao Daozong, whose literary brilliance was flying, and he praised the achievements of Liao Daozong in every way, which greatly increased the face of Liao State.
On the other side, Yelu Nanxian, who came with confidence, was dumbfounded when she saw this scene, she originally thought that she had attached great importance to coming in person, but she didn't expect that the Great Song Dynasty would send Su Shi Su to be a scholar, and even make a name for herself in the Great Song Dynasty.
In contrast, Xixia was extremely embarrassed, she originally wanted to take this opportunity to seek Liao's support for Xixia, but she was also greatly frustrated, but fortunately, Xiao Wuna, the prime minister of Liao, who was knowledgeable, was rounding her field, so she received a batch of aid, but it was far from her previous goal.
Fan Zheng didn't expect that the evil recipe of moral kidnapping was not only effective for Liao, but also had an unexpected gain, if he knew about Liao's trip to Beijing, he would definitely wake up with a smile in his dream.
However, Fan Zheng soon couldn't laugh, he never thought that he would be kidnapped by the evil party.
"Disregard for human life!"
"Executioner!"
"Contemporary white rise!"
………………
When the battle of Dali ended, everyone lamented the evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng's plan to cut off his abdomen, but they were even more frightened by his evil prescription of using people as locusts.
Not to mention that with the connivance of the Eastern Route Army, the people of Dali suffered heavy casualties, according to incomplete statistics, there were hundreds of thousands.
Such a terrifying number ruined the image of the evil doctor Fan Zheng at once, and made Fan Zheng even more blamed.
"At the beginning, Bai Qi ordered the pit to kill 400,000 soldiers, and the world was in an uproar, and today there are only a lot more people in Dali who died under the evil doctor Fan Zheng's evil method of taking people as locusts."
Many of the vindicators were furious.
"Those hundreds of thousands of Dali people were killed by the Southwest Yi and the Thirty-six Divisions of Eastern Yunnan, and it has nothing to do with the evil doctor Fan Zheng." Someone retorted.
A Confucian snorted coldly: "Bai Qi ordered the pit to kill 400,000 soldiers, is it the pit that Bai Qi dug himself?" Whoever gives the order will bear the guilt. ”
"But the evil doctor Fan Zheng is good at the art of healing the country, and his evil prescription has only saved a lot more people." The people also defended the evil doctor Fan Zheng.
"The art of healing! In my opinion, Fan Zheng, an evil doctor, is better at the art of destroying the country! ”
"Saving people is saving people, killing people is killing people, since ancient times, no matter how much the evil doctor Fan Zheng saves people, he can't stop the fact that his executioner can't stop him."
In Kaifeng City, a group of old masters said angrily.
Soon, this trend of thought quietly spread in Kaifeng City, and many people looked at Fan Zheng with extremely strange eyes.
For a long time, the reputation of the evil doctor Fan Zheng has not been good, but now let alone the hundreds of thousands of lives, which has made the literati prevail in the heart of the Great Song Dynasty, and has a lot of resistance to Fan Zheng.
There are also many old and stubborn officials who keep writing to Fan Zheng, demanding that Fan Zheng be severely punished in order to appease Dali, but they are all rejected by Zhao Xu one by one.
"Moral kidnapping!"
Fan Zheng smiled bitterly when he heard the news, he didn't expect that he would one day become a victim of his evil recipe, and he was also kidnapped by morality.
Didn't the Great Song Shi Doctor know that his evil recipe was used during the war, didn't he know that he led the Eastern Route Army to destroy Dali, no! They all know it.
However, they didn't care about these at all, they only stared at how many people Fan Zheng had harmed with the evil recipe of human locusts, and at the same time stood on the moral high ground to accuse Fan Zheng.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, Xianggong will do his best for the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is the official family or the people, it will be in the eyes." Li Qingzhao comforted.
Fan Zheng snorted coldly and said: "Moral kidnapping, do you know that this evil recipe is from Fan's hand, since Fan has created this evil recipe, he can crack the moral kidnapping!" ”
Fan Zheng had already found out that most of his moral kidnappings were some stubborn old masters, and this time, he wanted to let him be treated in the same way. (End of chapter)
