"What! Someone is assassinating the official family of the Song Dynasty?" Emperor Tianzuo stood up from his seat, his face changed color in shock, and turned pale, as if he had been smeared with a layer of lime putty.
"What about the situation of the official family of Song Dynasty?"
"The assassin committed an attack, but was blocked by the armed guards around Song Guoguan. He was subdued on the spot, but it seemed that Song Guoguan's arm was slashed."
Emperor Tian Zuo's face finally regained a little color. He was only slightly injured, not dead. That still needs to be discussed.
But why do I still feel a little pity after listening to it?
Well, it’s true that good people don’t live long and bad people live for thousands of years.
"Who is so bold?" Emperor Tianzuo asked.
"Your Majesty, he is one of our horse officers, affiliated with the Fifth Academy Department."
"I know it's Ma Guan, but I'm asking, who was so bold as to send that dog thief to assassinate the official family of Song Dynasty?"
"In reply to Your Majesty, the Song people captured the thief and interrogated him for a while. The man confessed that he was dissatisfied with the surrender of Daliao to the Song people and took the risk in anger without anyone else's instructions. The Song people didn't believe it, so they interrogated him again and asked him Where did he originally serve? That person admitted that he was originally Shi Lie in the Pingzhou Military and Horse Division of the Liao Xing Army."
"What!" Emperor Tian Zuo exclaimed, his face changing back and forth like a rainbow of seven colors.
Xiao Wuna quickly stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have never instigated my subordinates to assassinate the king of another country. Please be aware of this."
The expressions of the officials changed, and their hearts began to growl.
Xiao Wuna, you are too upright. You just said that the traitor once served in the Liao Xing Army, and you, the military commander of the Liao Xing Army, came out to confess your crime. How can the Holy Spirit evade it for you?
Why can't you be more mature and tactful, pretending not to know anything like the rest of us, so that Your Majesty can help you in front of the people of Song Dynasty.
Too upright! It’s not good for everyone!
Emperor Tianzuo was silent for a while and then asked: "What does the official family of the Song Dynasty mean?"
"Master Song wants to have a face-to-face meeting with His Majesty."
Emperor Tianzuo was surprised, "Where will we have the meeting?"
Even if you kill me, I won’t go to the Song Kingdom, but you won’t come to the Liao Kingdom either. You can’t go to both sides, so where can we talk? Build a Magpie Bridge to talk?
"The Lord of the Song Dynasty asked His Majesty to hold talks on the floating bridge in the middle of the boundary river."
This... Emperor Tian Zuo was silent for a while, and then said evasively: "I am seasick and afraid of water."
"Your Majesty, Lord Song said that if your Majesty answers like this, he would ask your Majesty to wait for a while."
Ah, the Zhao boy actually predicted my reaction. What will he do next?
Just wait and see.
Soon, hundreds of carriages came from the south. The Song army followed suit and quickly built three pontoon bridges, which were then connected to the previous one.
The four pontoons were put together, tightly twisted with steel ropes, and then covered with wooden boards to form a water platform with a radius of several hundred meters. It was simply a water fortress.
Seeing Song Jun perform another trick before his eyes, Emperor Tian Zuo had mixed feelings.
Knowing that he had no more excuses, he looked at the ministers and appointed two accompanying officials: "Yelu Asi, Yelu Zhangnu, you will accompany me to the bridge to meet with the officials of the Song Dynasty."
"According to the decree."
The Song Dynasty people built two simple tents in the middle of the pontoon platform to block the scorching sun. They placed several chairs inside, totaling two rows, for sitting in pairs.
Zhao Si met Emperor Tianzuo for the first time. He looked handsome, but his lips were thin and his chin was slightly pointed, which detracted from his imperial aura.
"Brother Tianzuo, I almost didn't see you." Zhao Si's left hand was wrapped with gauze and hung on his chest. He said with a grimace when he saw him.
What can Emperor Tianzuo say? He feels aggrieved by this matter.
"Thirteenth Prince, I was not strict with my subordinates. I was negligent and allowed such thieves with ulterior motives to mix in. It almost caused a big mistake and ruined the century-old brotherhood between Liao and Song. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation.
.”
Emperor Tianzuo turned to Yeluasi and said: "Send the order later and kill that daring thief in his entire family!"
After he finished speaking, he added, "Kill all of them, men, women, old and young! If the following commits a crime and destroys the friendship between the two countries, I will definitely kill his entire family!"
It seems that he also hates this bastard who has committed crimes below, and is even more afraid that the trend will rise. If he dares to kill the officials of the Song Dynasty today, he will dare to kill him, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, tomorrow.
So we must be punished severely! To serve as a warning to others!
"I obey the decree. How about the Liao army?" Yeluasi added unceremoniously.
Xiao Wuna was an old enemy, and Yeluasi felt deeply regretful that he had not been able to kill him. Now that he had joined forces with Yeluyu, his reputation was greatly increased, and it was even worse for him.
Now a good opportunity falls from the sky, of course we must seize it.
Emperor Tianzuo thought about it for a while and decided that he really wanted to punish Xiao Wuna, the military commander of the Liao Xing Army. Otherwise, he would only kill the assassin as a small soldier but let his boss go. It seemed that he had ulterior motives and was difficult to explain both inside and outside.
"Xiao Wuna, the Jiedu envoy of the Liao Xing Army, was demoted to Situ and moved to the south as the envoy of the Xuanhui Academy. Xiao Han, the commander of the troops and horses of the Liao Xing Army, and Yelu Keji, the governor... and other seven people, all resigned from their posts and were handed over to the investigation department.
"
"I obey!" Yeluasi responded with satisfaction.
This is good, the biggest opponent was demoted and moved to the position of the envoy of Xuanhui Yuan, who has titles but no power.
Xiao Han, Yelu Keji and other seven people are all Xiao Wuna's close confidants. If they take away their positions and hand them over to a supervisor for investigation, they are tantamount to being handed over to themselves. If they can come out alive, I will use my hands and feet to walk back to Nanjing!
Haha, Xiao Wuna, let’s see if you dare to speak loudly to me in the court again!
He watched quietly as Emperor Tianzuo issued a series of oral orders, Yeluasi proudly accepted the order, and Zhao Si's eyes twinkled.
This Yeluasi is really my best friend in the Song Dynasty. We must increase investment in the future to let him play a greater role.
After Emperor Tianzuo finished speaking, Zhao Si said sincerely: "Brother Tianzuo is really honest and sincere this time. Zhao thanked you in advance. It doesn't matter if I feel a little wronged. The most important thing is that it cannot affect the relationship between the brothers of Liao and Song."
Affection."
Emperor Tianzuo was overjoyed after hearing Zhao Si's words.
You don't want to start a war, that's a good thing!
"Thirteenth Lang is right! Nothing can affect the brotherhood between our two countries."
Zhao Si sneered a few times in his heart, I'm afraid it can't affect your continued enjoyment. But there was some hesitation on his face.
"Brother Tianzuo, the traitor just attempted to assassinate me. The civil and military officers of our country were filled with indignation. They all shouted that the king is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and that the king will humiliate his ministers and die. I only suffered a little injury, is that what it is? I have gone through all the hard work, okay?
It’s easy to appease them temporarily.”
Having said this, Zhao Si stepped forward, got close to Emperor Tianzuo, and said in a low voice: "Brother Tianzuo, why don't we as kings understand the thoughts of those ministers? They are just taking the opportunity to start a war in order to gain military glory.
Guangzong Yaozu, promotion and nobility! But how can this war be started so easily?"
"Once a war starts, money and food will be spent like water. If you lose, your family will have to pay for it; if you win, you will receive pensions and rewards... you will still have to spend all your money. When it is over, you will have to reward them based on their merits and get promotions and titles.
Jue. Damn, let them get all the benefits, but we have to worry about all the bad debts..."
Zhao Si's words made Emperor Tianzuo feel the same.
There were successive rebellions on the Kyoto road in Tokyo, and troops and generals were mobilized. Money and food were really spent like water. I hunted and hosted banquets, practiced palace gardens, rewarded beauties in the harem... and became more and more tight-lipped.
What's the point of being an emperor if you spend a little money to dig at Sosou? It's true that they have something in common with the official family of the Song Dynasty.
Moreover, what Zhao Si said just now also planted seeds in Emperor Tian Zuo's heart. Those ministers who were always writing to send troops here and conquer there were not necessarily loyal ministers. They must also have small thoughts.
Zhao Sanlang is right! You will instigate war. Once the war starts, you will line your pockets, eat and drink, and reward you according to your merits. But you have to make up for the shortfall. No! I will do it in the future.
Stop doing this kind of money-losing thing!
Zhao Si was still there and said: "Brother Tianzuo, I am just temporarily appeasing those arrogant generals and ministers. We must discuss a way to bring the friendship between Liao and Song Dynasties to a higher level, so as to block their
Mouth."
Emperor Tianzuo thought about it for a while and realized that this was the truth, so he asked.
"Thirteenth Lang, how do you think you can get to the next level?"
"Marriage." Zhao Si said without hesitation.
When Emperor Tianzuo heard this, he thought this was a good idea. Once the Liao and Song Dynasties were married, their relationship would be as stable as gold, and he could concentrate on quelling the rebellion in Tokyo and Shangjing Road.
Because they had to be wary of the Song Dynasty, nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Nanjing and Xijing, unable to move. This made the Liao Kingdom's military strength stretched thin.
If the relationship between the two countries eases, the deployment of half of the troops will greatly ease the pressure on Tokyo and Beijing.
But what kind of marriage method?
At least he and the sons and daughters of the official family of the Song Dynasty cannot get married. They are only a few years old. Even if they decide to get married now, they will still have to wait for several years. Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near!
At this time, Zhao Si spoke, "If my sister is still unmarried, I will definitely give it to Brother Tianzuo."
Emperor Tianzuo rolled his eyes, nonsense!
"I heard that the late emperor of your country's Taoist temple has a young daughter, who is sixteen years old. I would like to treat her with the honor of a palace."
Emperor Tian Zuo's eyes almost popped out.
Zhao Shisan! You little bastard! I treat you as a brother, but you want to be my uncle! This chapter has been completed!
