Yao Zheng and Yue Fan were not so lucky. After they reported to their parents, Yao Daweng and Yue He did not allow them to leave.It was useless for the two of them to be coquettish and playful at night, so they could only come to Ximen Qing with a sad face the next day, and looked at Yue Fei and the other four with envy.
Seeing this, Ximen Qing comforted the two of them with gentle words, telling them that when they were older, he would take them out to travel around the world.
At the same time, Ximen Qing also solemnly assigned a task to Yao Zheng.Because he was older than Yue Fan, Ximenqing asked him to stay in Yuejiazhuang and lead Yuefan to practice martial arts hard, and to train the archery skills of Yuejiazhuang and Yaojiazhuang soldiers.
Yao Zheng and Yue Fan listened to Ximen Qing's instructions, and suddenly felt that their uncle had entrusted them with a heavy responsibility, and the regret and frustration all over their faces were swept away.
Chapter 668 The Duo of Subjugated Nations
With the sound of firecrackers a year old, the spring breeze sent warmth to Tusu.
Thousands of families always exchange new peaches for old ones.
This poem by Wang Anshi describes the scene of people saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the people of Song Dynasty ushered in the third year of Xuanhe.
In Bianliang City, Tokyo, the imperial city was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the wise and mighty Taoist emperor held a feast to celebrate the great achievements of the second year of Xuanhe with his ministers.
Before the festival, more than 30 leaders of the bandit army, including Fang La and his son who rebelled in the south of the Yangtze River, had been escorted to the capital by Wang Ti and Huang Wenbing, and beheaded in the city for public display.Taiwei Tong Guanzheng commanded the tiger and wolf division of the Western Army to hunt down the remnants of the bandits in various states in the south of the Yangtze River, in order to eradicate the roots and prevent future troubles.
Tens of thousands of Liangshanbo bandits who had been causing trouble on Jingdong Road for many years were also killed and injured under the siege of the government army.Although some thieves got away, in the eyes of the imperial court, these fish that slipped through the net can no longer cause any troubles. They only need to post a wanted list, and the local county lieutenants and capital heads can capture them.
Jiangnan thief Fang La, Liangshan thief Chao Gai, and Song Jiang's demise were announced to the world by the imperial court.Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji also took this opportunity to show the subjects of the world that the Song army is powerful, and the Zhao family of the Great Song Dynasty is eternal, and it cannot be conspired by reckless and small people.
Because of the victories in suppressing thieves on Jiangnan, Jingdong Road, and Huainan Road, the courtiers around Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji also spoke to him, saying that now that the world is peaceful and the world is conquering, how can the emperor be too harsh and wronged himself.
It is a blessing for all people that the wise and mighty Taoist emperor is in power!Of course, such a prosperous age must have grand and exquisite buildings to show the wealth and prosperity of the Song Dynasty to foreign countries.The royal garden, Genyue, had been suspended for a long time due to the Fangla Rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was time to resume construction at this time.
Under the suggestion of Liang Shicheng, Wang Fu, Zhu Yu and other favorite ministers, Emperor Daojun decided to reset the Jiangnan Yingfeng Bureau, continue to collect rare flowers and stones, and start the construction of Genyue.
After Zhao Liangsi and Ma Zheng returned to Beijing as envoys to the Kingdom of Jin, they also brought back good news to the court. The Jurchens of the Kingdom of Jin had already formed a maritime alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, and they wanted to agree on a date to send troops to crusade against Khitan of the Liao Kingdom.The Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Kingdom of Jin admired the Song Dynasty, and after receiving the imperial letter from the Emperor Daojun, he personally promised to return the Yanjing area to the Song Dynasty after the war.
Although Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji also learned from Zhao Liangsi that he had a small omission in the imperial letter, he only wrote to take back the Neizhou and counties under the administration of Yanjing, and did not take back the Datong Mansion of Xijing and the states of Xijing Dao in Liao Kingdom, as well as Ying and Pinger. The state was included, which led to the negotiation dilemma between Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo.However, Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji and Prime Minister Cai Jing and other important officials did not take it seriously, thinking that sending envoys to negotiate with the Emperor Jin with the letter of state would make up for their small omissions.
In the eyes of the Taoist emperor and his ministers, the Jurchens of the Kingdom of Jin were barbarians who could only fight, did not know poetry, and had no culture. What did they know about history and geography?The Song Dynasty had a lot of talents, and ordered people to write a splendid article, and then sent people to send it to the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Aguda, who would be able to understand it with reason, move it with emotion, and persuade the king and ministers of the Jin Kingdom to return the Yanyun area willingly.
With full confidence in the great power, the Taoist emperor sent Ma Kuo back to Dengzhou, and his father Ma Zheng took the letter of credence and then went to the Kingdom of Jin, explaining that the Yanjing area mentioned in the Song Emperor’s letter included the entire Yanyun, Renew the covenant with the Jin people.
This time, Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji and Prime Minister Cai Jing did not even send Zhao Liangsi who urged Song and Jin to form an alliance. It can be seen that they thought it was a trivial matter to discuss with Jin to revise the alliance, and it was not too difficult.
Amidst the praises of the ministers around him, the Taoist emperor Zhao Ji seemed to see that he would take back Yanyun in the near future, pacify Xixia, and his martial arts and martial arts far surpassed his predecessors, becoming an eternal emperor comparable to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu.
After the banquet with the ministers, the Taoist emperor Zhao Ji returned to the harem, and gathered together with the empress Zheng and other harem concubines and the underage children in the palace to celebrate the New Year.
As the emperor's favorite concubine, Li Shishi also attended the banquet in the palace with his young child Zhao Hang.
In the midst of singing and dancing, Li Shishi looked at his son Zhao Hang, and unconsciously turned his eyes to the eastern night sky, thinking of that heartless official Ximen Qing.
Ximen Langjun, it's been a long time since I visited my slave's house!Doesn't he want to see his Hang'er?I don't know, did he go to Japan to find Sister Yue'er?
……
When in the imperial city of Bianliang City in Tokyo during the Song Dynasty, the Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji was still intoxicated with singing and dancing, but in Yanjing, the Liao Kingdom that he thought about day and night, the Emperor Tianzuo and Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Kingdom were talking with each other. The favorite minister Xiao Fengxian conspired.
Xiao Fengxian was the elder brother of Xiao Duolilan, Empress Yelu Yanxi of Tianzuo Emperor, and Xiao Guige, concubine of Yuan Dynasty.He was the most trusted minister of Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi.
Xiao Fengxian was reporting secretly to Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi, saying that the deputy capital supervisor of the Liao Kingdom commanded troops, stayed behind in Zhongjing, and Yelu Yujian, the governor of the East Road, planned to depose Yelu Yanxi and appointed Yelu Aoluwo, the second son of Yelu Yanxi, King of Jin emperor.
Yelu Yujian, like Xiao Fengxian, was related by marriage to Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi.Xiao Fengxian was the wife-in-law of Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi, and Yelu Yujian was the brother-in-law of Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi.
Yelu Yujian's wife is the younger sister of Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi Wenfei Xiao Sesu.Concubine Wen was born to the king of Jin, Yelu Aoluwo, and she is the most virtuous person. Everyone in the Liao Kingdom hopes that the king of Jin can inherit the great rule in the future.
When Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing of the Liao Kingdom was captured by the Jin army, Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi abandoned Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, the capital, and fled to Datong Mansion in Xijing to avoid the advance of the Jin army.Only Yelu Yujian was left to guard Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, the capital.
Seeing that Yeluyu remained unmoved by the threats and lures of Wanyan Aguda, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, he summoned Khitan heroes to defend the capital to the death.
Facing the tightly defended Yelu Yujian army, the Jin army was worried that the labor force's expedition would run out of food and grass, so they had to withdraw temporarily and gave up their plan to attack Zhongjing, Liao Kingdom.
Yeluyu took advantage of the momentum to counterattack, and fought several fierce battles with the Jin Guo Xianzhou Road Deputy Commander and Iron Hammer Wanyan's mother army who returned to Xianzhou in the south.
Although the two sides fought inextricably, Yelu Yujian's army, who possessed people and land, failed to defeat the smaller Wanyan's mother's army, but Yeluyu still killed Wanyan's beloved general Wanyante in the scuffle. The tiger greatly boosted the morale of the Liao army.
Yeluyu's bravery has won the support of many Khitan nobles, and his reputation in the army is growing day by day.As a result, more Khitan nobles supported Jin Wang Yelu Aoluwo as the successor of Emperor Tianzuo.
Privy envoy Xiao Fengxian saw all this and was anxious in his heart.
Because Xiao Fengxian's younger sister, Tian Zuo Yuan Concubine Xiao Gui's brother also gave birth to King Yeluding of Qin.It's just that King Yeluding of Qin was younger than King Yelu Aoluwo of Jin, and he didn't have the virtuous name of King Jin, so few Khitan nobles supported him.
Xiao Fengxian was afraid that his nephew Yeluu Jian, the king of Qin, would not be able to become the prince. He was deeply jealous of Yeluu Yujian, who was growing in popularity, and tried every means to frame Yeluyujian and Concubine Wen.
Just at this time, God seemed to have favored Xiao Fengxian with a chance to make a comeback.
Concubine Wen bleakly saw that the Kingdom of Jin was aggressive, and almost half of the territory of the Liao Kingdom had been lost. Her husband Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi was still addicted to sensuality and had no ambition to strive for strength, so she wrote two poems to persuade her husband.
How did you know that Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi became angry after seeing it, and alienated Concubine Wen from then on, which gave Xiao Fengxian the opportunity to sow discord.
Coincidentally, Yeluta Geli's wife met Yu Jian's wife in the army, and Xiao Fengxian knew the time was right.
Chapter 669 The End of the World
There are three sisters in Concubine Wen's Xiao Sesel's family. The eldest sister is married to the Khitan aristocrat Yelu Tageli, and the third sister is married to Yelu Yujian.Concubine Wen Xiao Sesel also has a younger brother, Xiao Yu, who is now the captain of Liao's son-in-law.
Zhongjing stays behind, and Yelu Yujian, the governor of the East Road, is leading his troops to fight the Jurchens of the Kingdom of Jin on the front line, but the sister of Concubine Wen Xiao Sesue suddenly goes to the front line to visit her third sister who is accompanying the army.
At this time, Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi returned from Datong Mansion in Xijing to Xijin Mansion in Nanjing, which is Yanjing City, and decided to change the capital of Liao Kingdom from Zhongjing to Nanjing to stay away from the threat of the Jin army in Shangjing.
Most of the nobles of the Khitan royal family in the Liao Kingdom lived in the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, and the Xijin Mansion in Nanjing were mostly from Han aristocratic families.If they moved to Yanjing with Emperor Tianzuo, many Khitan nobles would not be able to take the houses and fields of Dading Mansion in Zhongjing with them.
Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi was greedy for life and afraid of death, so moving the capital to Xijin Mansion in Nanjing would obviously benefit the aristocratic Han families in the Yanjing area, while the Khitan nobles living in Dading Mansion in Zhongjing would lose their interests.Therefore, Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi's move caused dissatisfaction among the Khitan nobles who were sticking to the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing.
Just in this politically sensitive period, the wife of Yelu Tageli, a great Khitan nobleman, went to the front-line barracks to visit her sister and brother-in-law Yelu Yujian, which can not but make people imagine.
After Xiao Fengxian, the privy envoy of the North Court, found out about the matter, he immediately arranged for someone to report to Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, saying that Concubine Wen Xiaose's brother-in-law Captain Xiao Yu and brother-in-law Yelu Ta Geli had colluded with Concubine Wen's brother-in-law Yelu, who held military power at the front. Seeing the rebellion, Yu planned to make the King of Jin the emperor and force Emperor Tianzuo to abdicate as the Supreme Emperor.
Xiao Fengxian slandered before Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi that Concubine Wen Xiaosesu also foresaw that she was involved in this matter, and her elder sister went to the army to inform Yeluyu in the name of visiting her sister, so that he would rebel and force the palace of.
Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi had long been dissatisfied with Concubine Wen Xiao who wrote poems to persuade him, and he believed it immediately after hearing Xiao Fengxian's words. rustling.
At the same time, Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi also sent people to the front-line army camp to arrest Yelu Yujian, who led the army to fight.
A bloody storm that shook the rule of Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom came suddenly at the beginning of this new year.
……
When the sudden turmoil in the Liao Kingdom was about to bring a new opportunity for the Jin Kingdom to destroy the Liao Dynasty, Huining City, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, was already frozen and covered in ice and snow.
In the Emperor's Village, Wanyan Aguda, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, did not know that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty sent Ma Zheng and Ma Kuo to brave the wind and snow to go northward, wanting to ask for more land from him.
