Chapter 373 Liao Xia Desires to Fight
Soon, Yi Ye replied to Li Yuanhao, "Your Majesty, we had agreed with the Song people. The Song people gave us 100,000 yuan in annual silk and 5,000 kilograms of tea every year. The two countries agreed to peace. They hope that you will not be the emperor. We also refuted tactfully. According to your wishes, we can pretend to call Song Jun a father in writing, so that we can give them face, and we will enjoy the rest of the benefits."
"Yes, if this happens, we will also gain real benefits," said Li Yuanhao.
"Yes, I think so, but the Liao Kingdom went to the Song Dynasty to send someone to say, don't discuss peace with us," Yiye said.
"It's really too much," Li Yuanhao was a little angry.
"Their purpose is very simple, which is to weaken us and not want us to be strong quietly, because they know that once we and Song negotiate peace, we will rest in the future, and they will not be our opponents. Once they compete with us for land and cities, they will suffer a lot," Yiye said.
‘Then how do we deal with it now,’ asked Li Yuanhao.
"The Song people are also cunning. They don't want to offend the Liao Kingdom. After all, after the Chanyuan Alliance, the relationship was quite good. After hearing the words of a man named Wu Yu from the Ministry of Rites, they sent someone to us to say that we should apologize to the Liao people before we can negotiate peace, because after all, we had a conflict with the Liao people a few days ago because of the land of some Dangxiang tribes on the border. I heard that they also went to the Liao Kingdom and said that we would respect the Liao Kingdom and only then did we allow us to negotiate peace. They would not offend us," Yi Ye said.
"You have told me about this, what's going on now," Li Yuanhao asked.
"The Liao Kingdom can't say anything now. I guess the Song people will allow us to negotiate peace in a while. Anyway, we are receiving the Song envoys in a city not far from the border and not allowing them to come to Xingzhou. We are still independent," Yiye said.
"Okay, if the Song people talk to us again, how can we raise the conditions, such as getting 200,000 silk, etc., all of them will be raised," said Li Yuanhao.
"Okay, I will do what Your Majesty said," Yiye said.
After a few more days, Li Yuanhao received a report in the palace that the rebellion against the Liao Kingdom by the Dangxiang tribe on the Liao Kingdom on the border was suppressed by the Liao Kingdom.
Li Yuanhao was furious, "I am Li Yuanhao, and someone dares to go against me. I must win back."
After saying that, Li Yuanhao sent people to lead troops to rescue the Dangxiang tribe.
At this time, Li Yuanhao immediately called Yi Ye, "Prime Minister, let's make peace with Song as soon as possible, so that we can deal with the Liao Dynasty as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very dangerous for us to be attacked on both sides," Li Yuanhao said.
"Okay, I'll do it right away," Yiye said.
Soon, after a few days, Yi Ye replied to Li Yuanhao: "Your Majesty, everything goes well. We can negotiate peace with Song this summer and sign an agreement,"
Li Yuanhao laughed, "No, not bad," and then he said contemptuously in the direction of Liao: "Brother-in-law, if I negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, if you want to bully me again, I'm afraid there will be no way."
"Your Majesty, when Princess Xingping of the Great Liao was your concubine, we were in-laws with Daliao. Now Princess Xingping is dead, and the in-laws have become enemies. They originally wanted to suppress us. I think the war between us and them is inevitable," Yiye said.
"Yes, this war is inevitable. When we negotiate peace with the Song people as soon as possible, I guess they will attack us soon," said Li Yuanhao, looking at the crabapple flowers outside the window in a daze.
