Chapter 256: Cao Cao: There is still a queen mother in this Liao country?!

In fact, Yelu Longxu is not arrogant and underestimates the enemy, according to the normal historical situation, if Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong really shouted for the Northern Expedition after sealing the Zen, then there are only the following results.

1. He sealed Zen into his brain, and swelled to the point that he really thought that he had become a martial artist and was invincible in the world.

Second, Taishan feng shui is not good, and it hurts the brain.

Third, what Zenith technology might he have obtained, so that he could have the confidence to declare war with Liao.

Empress Dowager Xiao, who was listening to the government behind Yelu Longxu, also chuckled.

The old Zhao family's bullying of orphans and widows should be in the same vein.

I think that when Zhao Kuangyin took the throne, he bullied orphans and widows, and stepped on the throne of Chai Zongxun and Empress Dowager Xiaofu. At the beginning, Zhao Guangyi's Northern Expedition was just in time for Yelu Longxu to take the throne. At that time, Yelu Longxu had only been on the throne for four years, and he was just fourteen years old, and he could be regarded as an orphan and widow.

But the difference is that Zhao Kuangyin succeeded, while Zhao Guangyi failed.

Later, the Liao State went to fight the Song Dynasty in turn, and was shot dead to death by a general under the city of Lanzhou, which is a later story.

Now although the Liao State has not yet been in power, the name of the brother's country is still there, and Yelu Longxu can't figure out what kind of seedling this imperial brother is.

But if you want to say angry, that's not really too much.

Yelu Longxu has a good temper and is a bit of a mother. Empress Dowager Xiao was very strict with him, the left and right attendants were misbehaved, and she liked to tell jokes with the emperor. On weekdays, Yelu Longxu's clothes and royal horses must be strictly inspected by Empress Dowager Xiao. Some concubines entered the emperor's slander, Empress Dowager Xiao believed it to be true, and humiliated him in public in the court, he could accept it calmly without complaint.

With such a temper, it is not surprising that he can get along well with Zhao Heng, after all, Zhao Heng's temper is very good, even Wang Jien and others, who want to support others, can spare their lives, and the two are really half-brothers.

And the relationship between the two, although it is a bit of a scene, but there is always a bit of truth in it.

In the first year of Qianxing, when Zhao Heng died, the Song Dynasty sent Xue Yikuo to the Khitan to mourn, and Youzhou reported it first. Yelu Longxu convened the ministers of Fanhan to mourn, and the concubines and concubines all shed tears for Zhao Heng.

Yelu Longxu said to the chief minister Lu Demao: "Before I and the imperial brother got married, the expedition had its own victories and defeats, and after more than 20 years of the agreed brother, the imperial brother ascended to heaven, not to mention that it was the same month as I was born, and I was two years older, how much time did I have?" ”

So he cried again, cried for a long time, and said again: "I heard that the nephew emperor (Song Renzong Zhao Zhen) is still young, and he must not know the friendship between me and the imperial brother, I am afraid that he will be separated by his courtiers and break the contract with me." ”

Later, Xue Yikuo went to the palace to convey the will of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and Yelu Longxu happily said to the queen: "I see the intention of my nephew emperor, and I will definitely not violate my brother's oath." ”

He also said to Lu Demao: "Jin Gaozu has a lot of power from the heir of the Holy Grandfather, but after the Jin Shaodi ascended the throne, he reneged on the covenant, and it was all bewitched by his subordinates, and the nephew emperor will definitely maintain friendly relations all the time." ”

He also said to the empress: "You can first write a letter to the empress dowager of the Southern Dynasty, describing in detail the agreement of the concubine, and the envoys will come and go, and the name will be spread to the Southern Dynasty." ”

He also ordered Yanjing Minzhong Temple to specially set up Zhenzong Imperial Spirit, and the establishment of the Zifu Dojo was completed for 100 days. He also decreed that no music should be played in the states along the border. Later, because of the imperial banquet, a church with a music name of "lattice eyes" was transferred to the head of the color and read out the new score, Yelu Longxu wanted to promote him to another level, and saw that his original name was Zhao Heng to avoid it, so he said angrily: "You are the leader of the sect, don't you know my brother's words?" ”

So he personally erased the decree that he was promoted, and the name of Yanjing Monk Lu also violated Zhao Heng's name, and Yelu Longxu ordered to change his name to Yuanrong. Soon he ordered that all civil and military officials, monks, soldiers, and ordinary people in the country who committed Zhao Heng's name should be renamed.

You say he's pretending...... It's really the same thing. Even before Yelu Longxu died, he did not forget to tell his son Yelu Zongzhen that "he did not lose the oath of the court".

At the very least, his desire for peace was genuine.

And when he went south to invade the Song Dynasty, this matter actually had little to do with him, in fact, the power of the court was not in the hands of Yelu Longxu during that time. It has been 27 years since the unification of peace, that is, on the first day of November next year, Empress Dowager Xiao held the Khitan traditional "Chai Book Ceremony" to return the imperial power to Yelu Longxu, ending her more than 40 years of political participation and regent career during the reign of Liao Jingzong and Liao Shengzong.

It seems that both the Song Dynasty and the Liao State are very stalked, and the same emperor is ruled by a young empress dowager. In the Liao Kingdom, it was Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelu Longxu, and in the Song Dynasty, it was Empress Dowager Liu and Zhao Zhen.

Before the envoy sent the envoy, Li Shimin also argued with Zhao Kuangyin for a long time on the issue of "the teacher is famous".

Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang said that even if it was a war of reunification, even if the Liao State was a "barbarian", it would have to be famous, and there would always be a reason; And Zhao Kuangyin said that it is not the first time that Lao Tzu has bullied orphans and widows, what is the reason? Isn't it just taking off your pants and farting? Pure purity is redundant.

Lao Li said that he suggested that he play the card of "recovering the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties" and use this as a reason to declare war on the Liao State, which can be regarded as a sufficient reason.

Lao Zhu said that he was advised to play the card of "expelling the Tartars and restoring China" and used this as a reason to declare war on the Liao State - this reason he had used, and it was not ordinarily useful.

There is nothing wrong with saying it, after all, this reason supports the Ming Dynasty that Lao Zhu has created for more than 200 years, and it is proved by facts.

Several people argued for a long time, and even swept Liu Bang and them inside.

Finally, when eating barbecue in Funing Palace, Li Qing suddenly said, now Yelu Longxu is thirty-six years old, which is far past the age when he can be pro-government, according to common sense, Xiao Yanyan, the empress dowager of Liao, should have returned to Yelu Longxu sixteen years ago. Now Xiao Yanyan is still in love with the throne and refuses to return the authority, isn't she relying on her powerful maternal clan and wanting to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne?

As a country of etiquette and a country of virtue, of course my Great Song Dynasty can't bear to see this result. In order to prevent trouble before it happens, we have to admonish the Empress Dowager Xiao so that she can recognize the reality and return to the government as soon as possible.

In short...... Be wary of the Song Dynasty playing Kuang Fu Da Liao card!

Hearing this reason, everyone present was silent, not an ordinary silence.

What kind of reason do you have...... Wait, this reason...... Hiss......

It doesn't seem to be unreasonable?

First of all, standing on the moral high ground. You see, the children are so old, you are still unwilling to let go of power as a mother, and you have such a desire to control? Is this good? It's not good, I advise you to reflect on it.

Secondly, if you send troops for this reason, the military expenditure will definitely be settled, you see that the sixteen states of Yanyun are big and round, which is just suitable for military spending. Or simply let Da Song take care of it, and when the time comes, it's a big deal to let Zhao Heng personally perform a brother, friend and brother, and let the difficult brothers get together.

In the end, this reason is irrefutable. Even the ministers of the Liao State have to admit that the Queen Mother is too power-loving.

After all, just when everyone was falling into thought, Cao Cao suddenly spoke.

"Wait, Immortal Master, I heard you mean, this Liao country...... And a queen mother? ”

"Ah yes, there is a queen mother." Li Qing smiled and gave Cao Cao a science about the life of Empress Dowager Xiao.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thighs with both hands: "Oh, there is such a strange woman in this world?" I'm really on the side! This time you must take me with you for this northern expedition to Liaoguo! ”

Good guy, you're sick again, aren't you?

"Old Cao, Cao Thief is sick again, right......" Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and patted Cao Cao's shoulder, "Have you forgotten about Wancheng?" ”

Cao Cao's face turned red all of a sudden, and the green tendons on his neck protruded: "What Cao thief's disease?" If you love other people's wives, can you call it sick? Then there are some difficult words, what "chromophobia", what "gentleman is good", the air is full of happy air.

"Speaking of Wancheng, I forgot who I heard before, a joke." Liu Bang crossed Erlang's legs, and smiled with a thief's eyebrows: "What is said is that Xiao Cao and Jia Xu chatted, Xiao Cao said, I said Wenhe, which general under my command do you think is the most brave?" ”

"Jia Xu said, I'll kill that one in Wancheng."

"Cao Cao asked again, then Wenhe, which of my sons do you say is the most suitable for inheriting the title of King of Wei?"

"Jia Xu replied, I'll kill that one in Wancheng."

"Cao Cao said, let's have some fun, Wenhe, what mount do you think can be compared to the Red Rabbit Horse?"

"Jia Xu said, I'll kill that one in Wancheng."

"Cao Cao asked again, say something else, Wen He, who do you think is the most beneficial among the strategists under my command?"

Jia Xu replied, before Yu didn't come, it was Guo Fengxiao, but now, it's the ...... that almost killed you in Wancheng."

The joke was so sinister that Cao Cao himself burst out laughing.

It's not too hell, after all, Li Qing has already brought back his son, Cao Anmin, and Dian Wei.

It's a pity, but Cao Cao won't emo when he mentions Wancheng.

The current Cao Cao, let alone hearing Wancheng, even if he hears this hellish joke, he will laugh it off.

It's no longer the yin and yang weirdness whenever something happens, what a pity that Feng Xiao is not there, and what is the yin and yang Cao who cherishes the general alone.

Between jokes, the matter of the northern expedition to Liao was also decided, and the reason was also the suggestion of Li Qing.

Although Zhao Kuangyin said that he had bullied other orphans and widows, he still had some face, at least much better than the people of the Sima family.

At least the Great Song Dynasty can also pay attention to loyalty and filial piety, the Jin Dynasty since Sima Zhao instructed Cheng Ji to kill the monarch on the street, the two Jin Dynasty no longer dare to say loyalty, can only rule the world with filial piety.

No matter how much Sima Yan reacted in his heart, he couldn't do anything crazy to Li Mi who wrote the "Chen Qing Table".

The edict declaring war between the two countries, after Yelu Longxu read it, handed it to the Empress Dowager Xiao, who was sitting behind her and listening to the government.

Regardless of whether Empress Dowager Xiao is a regent or not, the superficial procedure must first show the emperor the state letter.

It was Yelu Longxu who didn't feel anything, and even faintly felt that "mmmmmmmm, what the imperial brother said is right", but it really disgusted Empress Dowager Xiao a lot.

What's the matter of my Yelu family, why is your hand surnamed Zhao so wide? Swallow melon seeds and suck out a bed bug, you ran here to fill people?

In short, although Yelu Longxu didn't think that the Song Dynasty had the strength to fight with the Great Liao, it was just that the power of the court was still in the hands of Xiao Yanyan. At the suggestion of the enraged Empress Dowager Xiao, the Liao State mobilized 200,000 soldiers and horses to deploy defenses on the Song-Liao border, preparing to meet the Song Dynasty's army.

The Liao State was ready for battle.

For the envoys of the Song Dynasty, in line with the principle that the two countries would not fight each other, they put the envoys back with all their beards.

After appointing so many Han officials and learning so many Han etiquette, even stones smell like they're smoking.

The Great Song envoy who picked up his life breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that even if he didn't die today, he would have to peel off a layer of skin, but he never expected that Dailiao would be so reasonable.

It seemed that the prepared hand was no longer needed, so the envoy rubbed the pair of "Xtep" shoes under his feet, and drove out of Beijing with palpitations.

In fact, he originally planned to kill the envoy if the Liao side wanted to kill him, so he laughed loudly and angrily reprimanded, "When my Emperor Taizu's heavenly soldiers arrive, Ling Er and others will be stunned." It's just that now that there is such a situation, he really forgot about the return of Emperor Taizu for a while.

It's also thanks to him that he forgot, otherwise, eighty percent of the courtiers of the Liao State would laugh at him.

The messenger here is slowly rushing back, and the army of the Song Dynasty over there has been assembled.

Under the surprised and fresh eyes of the ministers and the people, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were lined up in the suburbs of Bianliang City, waiting for Zhao Kuangyin's lecture.

Now the Song army in the Kaibao period is not the original Song army. After more than ten years of baptism of blood and fire around the world, they have long since transformed into a real elite of a hundred battles.

Coupled with the weapons and equipment that Zhao Kuangyin spent a lot of money to buy from Datang, as well as the instructors hired from Datang with high salaries, the Song army can be described as a shotgun for a gun.

- At least there is good news, the emperor is not the same emperor anymore.

On the tower of the city gate, in order to enliven the atmosphere, Li Qing abducted Zhao Kuangyin with his elbow.

"What's wrong, Immortal Master?" Zhao Kuangyin rubbed his nose, and the cold air since the beginning of winter stimulated his nose.

"I'll tell you a joke and liven up the atmosphere." Li Qing beckoned to the people around him and began to sing: "When the alliance of the Yuanyuan, Zhao Heng and Yelu Longxu talked and boasted about each other. ”

"Yelu Longxu said, 'The Great Liao Shaman is full of miracles, and there is a kind of charm that the dead can be resurrected if they eat it.'" ”

"Zhao Heng said: 'The prosperity of our dynasty has not been compared in the previous life, and there are military soldiers who can run from Hebei to Dali with a stick of incense.' ”

"Yelu Longxu's request was fulfilled, Zhao Heng panicked, convened the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss countermeasures, and Prime Minister Kou Zhun came up with a good plan and said: 'This is very easy to do, you first let the Liao people bring the charm and let Taizu and Taizong eat it, then the two of them will definitely be resurrected, so that Taizong can run from Hebei to Dali without half a stick of incense.' ”

Hearing this joke, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Zhao Kuangyin's face stiffened, and he reached out and slapped the back of Zhao Guangyi's neck on the side.

(I won't ask for a monthly pass, I'll vote again tomorrow.) (End of chapter)
