After a long discussion, Li Jie finally made the decision, and the tribal leaders of Xiazhou Dangxiang remained in their homeland to cooperate with the officials of the Song Dynasty to maintain stability.
With their cooperation, management will undoubtedly be more convenient.
Of course, the military forces within Dangxiang must be disbanded.
It would definitely be more difficult to reduce military strength if it were placed in a territory under Han rule.
However, Xiazhou Dangxiang is a nomadic people and does not have much standing military force.
The vast majority of nomadic peoples are all soldiers. The adult men of the tribe herd horses in their free time. In time of war, they become soldiers with swords and arrows on their backs.
In case of war, temporary recruitment is the norm.
In fact, Li Jie also had another intention in making this arrangement.
He is not worried at all about rebellion or anything like that.
When the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were stationed, the Dangxiang people were unable to fight against the Song army with only three melons and two dates.
Rebellion?
If someone rebels, you can kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!
…
…
…
One week later.
Dadingfu.
The young emperor Yelu Zongzhen accepted the unreasonable demands of the Song Dynasty without any expression.
However, no one knows what kind of anger is hidden under his calm appearance!
He hates it!
Hate the person who gave birth to him!
If it weren't for his biological mother, Xiao Yujin, how could Daliao end up where it is today?
If it hadn't been for Xiao Yujin, how could the Song army have invaded Dading Mansion without any reason?
Although the Song Dynasty also attacked Xijing Road before, when attacking that area, the Song Dynasty sent troops in the name of recovering the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.
Although this reason is a bit far-fetched.
Because the Song Dynasty inherited the Later Zhou Dynasty, and as early as the Later Jin Dynasty, the land of Youyun was included in the territory of the Liao Kingdom.
But the situation was stronger than the people. Even if the Song Dynasty suspected that it was far-fetched, the Liao Kingdom could only endure it with tears.
However, the nature of attacking Xijing and attacking Zhongjing are completely different.
Zhongjing Road was under the rule of the Khitan from beginning to end. Even if it goes back a hundred years, this place was also the territory of their nomadic people.
It has nothing to do with the Central Plains Dynasty.
According to traditional Confucian concepts, the Song Dynasty's attack on Zhongjing Road was a disrespectful move.
How could the Song Dynasty, which believed in ethics, attack the Liao mainland for no reason?
As a result, Xiao Yujin gave Song Dynasty an excellent excuse.
Well now, the Song Dynasty asked the Liao Kingdom for the most elite area in the Liao Kingdom in the name of compensation for military expenses.
Although Yelu Zongzhen was young, he was not prepared to bargain.
Because, it's not necessary.
All military expenditures are just excuses.
The real purpose of the Song Dynasty was to expand the territory!
If you look at the wording in the certificate of credence, you can understand that the Song Dynasty wanted to change its title of emperor to king, and at the same time, it also wanted to declare its vassal status to the Song Dynasty.
a long time.
After adjusting his mood, Yelu Zongzhen slowly stood up and then saluted Yan Shu.
"When I return to Angel, I can agree to the terms of going to the country."
"However, there is one thing I hope the angel can do."
"Xiao Wang hopes that his mother can stay with Xiao Wang, so that it will be convenient for Xiao Wang to fulfill his filial piety."
What Yelv Zong said was sincere and sincere, and anyone listening to it would feel that he was a filial son.
However, that was not what he thought in his heart.
Since the fall of Liao Dynasty, Xiao Yujin must bear at least half of the responsibility!
If Xiao Yujin hadn't fought for power with him, he would not have been captured even if the army was defeated.
Therefore, Xiao Yujin must stay in Khitan territory, and he must fulfill his filial piety.
Hearing this, Yan Shu looked troubled.
Seeing this scene, Yelu Zongzhen's heart suddenly became cold.
The next development was just as he expected. Yan Shu sighed slightly and said embarrassedly.
"Sorry, it is His Majesty's wish to welcome Queen Xiao to the Song Dynasty. I have no right to comment."
"Forehead."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yelv Zongzhen suddenly had an extremely ridiculous idea in his mind.
Could it be that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty wanted to be his stepfather?
this……
Suddenly, Yelu Zong really remembered a rumor from ancient times.
Taizong of the Song Dynasty seemed to have robbed the queen of Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Yelu Zongzhen had always treated this matter as a rumor.
But now it seems.
Maybe, it's actually somewhat possible.
The current Emperor of the Song Dynasty is the grandson of Taizong, a dragon begets a dragon, and a phoenix begets a phoenix. Perhaps the Emperor of the Song Dynasty wants to imitate his ancestor?
The reason why Yelu Zongzhen thinks so is not completely unreasonable.
His biological mother, Xiao Yujin, was extremely beautiful. Although Xiao Yujin gave birth to two boys and two girls, she was not very old. She was only in her thirties this year.
Having been pampered and pampered all year round, although Xiao Yujin is in his thirties, he looks like he is in his twenties, and his charm is still there.
On the other side, Yan Shu saw Yelv Zongzhen's uncertain expression, and as smart as he was, he immediately guessed Yelv Zongzhen's thoughts.
In fact, not only Yelu Zong really thought so, but Yan Shu himself also thought so.
Even though he was thousands of miles away in Bianliang, he had heard of Empress Xiao's beauty.
It is not incomprehensible that the officials want to meet him or put him in the harem.
certainly.
Yan Shu only dared to think about it.
No one knows why the officials ordered Empress Xiao to enter Bianliang.
No one dared to say, no one dared to ask.
"Since it is His Majesty's wish, Xiao Wang will naturally comply with it."
for a long time.
Yelu Zong really lowered his head and agreed to this extremely 'humiliating' condition.
Despite his young age, his many years of struggle experience have taught him the truth that when one is in a position of weakness, one must endure it.
"Please let the angels tell you, Your Majesty, the little king is willing to shepherd the Song Dynasty for generations to come."
Almost at the same time.
Another envoy team from the Song Dynasty also reached its destination, Xingzhou.
Upon learning that the angel had arrived, Li Deming led a group of tribal leaders early to greet the angel twenty miles outside the city.
As soon as he saw the envoy's motorcade, Li Deming immediately waved his hand, and with his order, drums and music sounded behind him.
"Chen Deming, please bow to the angel!"
"Wish me, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, long live, long live, long live!"
Hearing the slogan shouted by Li Deming, Fu Bi couldn't help but feel helpless.
What are these?
Long live Long live Long live?
The Song Dynasty was not interested in this.
Although the saying "long live" has been around since ancient times, His Majesty doesn't really like others shouting "long live".
Li Deming's homework was indeed done, but only a little.
"King Xu, please get up first."
After shaking his head, Fu Bi followed the courtesy and helped Li Deming up.
The King Xu he mentioned was the new title given to Li Deming by the imperial court. The previous person who first named King Xu was none other than Qian Chu, King of Wuyue.
As for the previous one, it was Taizong's second son, Prince Gongxiao, Zhao Yuanxi.
Granting the title of King Xu can not only remind Li Deming that he should behave like Qian Chu, the king of Wuyue, so that he can at least maintain his wealth.
At the same time, it can also show the importance that the Song Dynasty paid to Li Deming.
King Xu is the title used by Taizong's second son and Zhenzong's direct brother. You, Li Deming, can inherit the title of King Xu. It is a blessing earned in eight lifetimes.
