Chapter Seventy-one

Since the arrival of the envoys from the Southern Dynasties in Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, the market has become much more lively. After a brief warm-up, even greater excitement suddenly appeared.

Cheng Wanli, the envoy of the Southern Dynasties, was driven out of his house by Xiao Fengxian, who had retired from his job and became an official. Cheng Wanli ran in front, and Xiao Fengxian chased him, yelling and cursing as he chased him back.

Everyone was not surprised that Xiao Fengxian was so rude. He was a rogue by nature. If they expected him to become a gentleman one day, the Buddha in the West would have to cry to death: "I can't see that day!"

As for Master Cheng, the envoy of the Southern Dynasty, everyone was impressed. Unexpectedly, as soon as Master Cheng arrived in the Liao Kingdom, he immediately became an enemy of the traitorous minister Xiao Fengxian. How efficient is this hatred of evil as much as hatred?

Not only ordinary Liao people were interested in Cheng Wanli's efficiency, but even Emperor Tianzuo of Liao, Yelu Yanxi, had a strong curiosity. Therefore, before meeting Cheng Wanli, Yelu Yanxi once again secretly rumored that Xiao Feng had entered the country first.

Gong Jin came to see him and told him what happened.

Xiao Fengxian said angrily: "The envoy of the Han Dynasty is rude! In front of me, I dare to keep saying that the sixteen states of Yanyun belong to my country. I originally wanted to argue with him, but unfortunately I am clumsy and can't talk about the talents. I can only

I like to beat him with my fists, which is why I, the Liao Dynasty, founded the country on horseback and archery! I just hate that guy is slippery and has quick legs and feet. Otherwise, if he is caught by the ministers, even if he cannot be killed due to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, he will still be taken care of.

The head and face!”

After Yelu Yanxi heard this, he laughed loudly, and then asked seemingly casually: "The Southern Dynasty just wanted to discuss the sixteen states of Yanyun as concessions, and it was not to take them by force from our country. Why should I love you?"

Angry about that?"

Xiao Feng listened first, but he bowed to Yelu Yanxi seriously and said: "In the land of Yanyun Sixteen States, it was the ancestors of the ministers who assisted the Holy Lord and maimed the lives of many children, so that a beautiful mountain and river could be restored."

, take it as your own - Your Majesty, don't blame me for saying that if anyone dares to agree to cede the beautiful land of Yanyun to China today, I will fight with him with our eyebrows and tails, and we will fight for our lives. We are incompatible!"

These categorical words were like a wild dog that had escaped the reins, running wild all over the world with joy, and in an instant it became popular in Linhuang Mansion in the capital city.

Countless people did not expect that the traitor Xiao Fengxian could be so courageous! Caught off guard, countless people's brain cells moved forward due to inertia due to being unable to stop for a moment, and hit the inner wall of the skull without an airbag device. They suddenly fell off their horses and were frustrated.

The army was defeated.

According to the research and statistics of later generations, after this day, the average IQ of the Liao people whose brains were frustrated dropped by several percentage points. Xiao Fengxian was nailed to the pillar of shame in history and was scolded by both the Han and Liao people.

It's something for later, so I won't mention it.

The next day, Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Dynasty formally received Cheng Wanli. All civil and military officials from the northern and southern houses of the Liao Kingdom arrived. The two sides held cordial and friendly talks on bilateral issues in the Bishi of the Liao Kingdom. So far, the relationship between the Yanyun Concession

The proposal officially appeared in front of the people of Liao.

The incident happened suddenly, like a thunderbolt from the blue. Ninety-nine point nine percent of the people in the Liao country were stunned. The only ones who were not confused were those who knew the market situation in advance. For a time, there was an uproar at the venue.

.

When Yelu Yanxi saw that the situation seemed to be getting out of control, he finally made a decisive decision: "We will withdraw from the court today, and we will discuss it another day."

After Ma Renwang retired from the imperial court and returned to his own palace, he sent people to all directions and invited Yelu Dabeinu, Xiao Chala, Chai Yi, and Wu Yong. The five old men together were over 400 years old.

All of them were listless and just asked: "Brother Ma invited us old men here, what's the point of doing this?"

Ma Renwang then said alarmingly: "How many of you don't know that a big disaster is coming?"

When the other four old men heard this, their bodies were all shaken. After a few traces of corpse-dwelling energy leaked from their sides, they asked, "What do you mean, Brother Ma?"

The horseman looked and said: "Today the Southern Dynasty came to discuss the Yanyun Concession. If Daliao does not agree, the Chinese Federation will definitely bring troops to fight. In this way, Ximen Qing will move in the south, Nüzhi Wanyan Agu will move in the north, and the north and south will move.

Under a pincer attack, if you and I are not safe, can we still save Yan Yun?"

After hearing this, the four old men looked at each other in shock, only to find that the corners of their mouths were slack in shock, and saliva flowed from their mouths for half a foot without realizing it. After hurriedly sucking them back, the four old men asked in unison: "Brother Ma has always been very resourceful, I don't know.

Is there any clever plan to solve this crisis?"

Ma Renwang said: "For the current plan, we must endure the humiliation and agree to the request of the Southern Dynasty. Although Yanyun in Daliao was 'leased' as a concession, Daming Mansion in the Southern Dynasty was not treated as a concession for us."

Rent it back? Speaking of which, it can also be helpful to the country.

People can continue to explain - as long as the Yanyun Concession agreement is completed, we, the Liao Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty will consolidate our foundation, and then we can go all out to the north. Although the Nuzhi are barbaric, they are vulgar, and there will be time to break them. After the peace is over,

It’s not too late for the Yan clan to look back on the Yanyun Concession!”

After hearing this, the four old men couldn't move their rigid minds and accepted it all. At the same time, they said in unison: "Brother Ma's words are in line with God's will!"

Ma Renwang excitedly mobilized the crowd: "You and I are the assistant ministers appointed by His Majesty. In this troubled time, how can we not do our best? I have already submitted a stamp in favor of the Yanyun Concession, and everyone has signed their names.

, let’s send this to the current Holy One!”

The old men usually admired Ma Renwang, but they admired him even more now. After living a stable life for a long time, who is still willing to fight? Therefore, the five ministers of the South and North Courts jointly requested to accept the Yanyun concession proposal and sent a memorial.

.

When the court was discussing again, when Xiao Fengxian heard that the five old men were about to crawl inside and out, he jumped up and immediately broke the world men's high jump record. After pointing his halberd at the five old men for a long time, Xiao Fengxian shouted

Said: "If I hadn't seen you grow old, I would have just beaten you! But even though I won't beat you, it is absolutely impossible for me to obey the orders of fatuous people!"

Yelu Yujian also stood up at this time: "Yanyun is our land in the Liao Dynasty. It has been passed down from generation to generation. How can we allow it to be rented by others? I don't want to see this!"

After retreating from the imperial court last time, Yelu Yujian also joined forces with a group of ministers. They all regarded him as the backbone and jointly opposed Yanyun's concession. Even if they wanted to join forces with that treacherous minister Xiao Fengxian, they couldn't care less.

Suddenly, there was a wave of opposition in the court.

Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi sat on it and had a headache from the noise. From the bottom of his heart, he agreed to use Yanyun as a concession and form an alliance with the Chinese Federation. At that time, there were the Central Plains as brothers and Xixia as nephews - the clan of the Liao Kingdom

The daughter Yelu Nanxian was named Princess Cheng'an and married to Xixia - what else did she fear from the Kingdom of Jin at that time?

The horse people saw that their memorial coincided with their own wishes, but they did not expect that there were so many objections! Now Yelu Yanxi had a headache. With no other choice, he announced his withdrawal from the court again, and he could not afford to hide.

At this time, Cheng Wanli came to see him and said he had a clever plan that could solve the worries of the ruler of Liao Dynasty.

Yelu Yanxi asked in disbelief: "What's the plan?"

Cheng Wanli smiled mysteriously: "When my head of state came here, he ordered that if there are any twists and turns in the concession agreement, you can open this bag and take a look, and your doubts will be solved!"

Speaking of tips, it turned out that there really was a tip! Yelu Yanxi was so surprised that he opened the tip bag and saw that there were only eight words in it——

The right hand holds the famous name, the left holds the river east.

"What does this mean?" Yelu Yanxi became confused and confused.

Cheng Wanli smiled: "My head of state is willing to add the old land in Hedong as a new concession in addition to Daming Mansion!"

In March 1074 AD, the then Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Liao Kingdom sent minister Xiao Xi as an envoy to the Song Dynasty. On the grounds that the Song Dynasty violated the Chanyuan alliance and built buildings privately in Liao territory, he blatantly proposed a re-zoning to the Song Dynasty. Requirements for determining the boundaries of Hedong between Liao and Song Dynasties.

The boundary between the Liao and Song dynasties in Hedong was drawn when Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty ceded the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. It was roughly based on Yingzhou (today's Yingxian County, Shanxi Province), Yuzhou (today's Yuxian County, Hebei Province), and Shuozhou (today's Shuozhou County, Shanxi Province). A line is the boundary. Since this area was originally owned by the Central Plains regime, there was overlap of land between different states and counties.

Before the Liao and Song Dynasties signed the Chanyuan Alliance, since the Liao and Song Dynasties were in a state of hostility, the border generals and residents of both sides could strictly restrain themselves and rarely crossed the border. However, after the Chanyuan Alliance was completed, the north and the south were at peace. As they got along and communicated more and more, border residents began to cross the border for farming, fishing and logging. The Song Dynasty had stricter restrictions on the border residents' cross-border behavior, while the Liao Dynasty had looser restrictions. After all, they still had to plow grass and paddy!

Later, land sales even occurred, and land disputes began to arise between Song and Liao. During the reign of Yelu Zongzhen, Xingzong of the Liao Dynasty, the Song border generals petitioned the court to solve the problem of Liao border people entering the Song Dynasty to grab land. At that time, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen believed that the Song and Liao Dynasties had been at peace for many years, and it was inappropriate for the land dispute to destroy the peaceful situation of common prosperity in East Asia between the two sides. Therefore, Song Renzong sent people to the Liao Kingdom to discuss the demarcation of land boundaries, and the Shuozhou line was originally designated A part of the territory was given to the Liao Kingdom.

However, the result of this was that it encouraged the Liao border people to cross the border to grab land for planting. Subsequently, the Liao border people crossed the border to grab land for planting, fishing, and logging. After Yelu Hongji, the Daozong of the Liao Dynasty, came to the throne, the two sides also had conflicts in Hedong. Negotiations were held on the land boundary issue, but in the end nothing was settled.

How could it be completely solved? After it was solved, how could Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Liao Kingdom still make a fuss about the boundaries of Hedong?

In the Song Dynasty at this time, Song Shenzong was in power. He was resolving various conflicts caused by Wang Anshi's reform and was going to war with Xixia. He knew that the Liao side intended to stir up trouble and was unwilling to become an enemy of the Liao Dynasty again at this time, so He said to Xiao Xi: "The boundary issue of the three states will be negotiated by officials from both sides at the border. We will strictly manage our border generals. If we violate the Chanyuan Alliance, we will correct it immediately. If there is no violation of the agreement, we will correct it immediately." Naturally, we must maintain the status quo." Then, Liu Chen and Lu Dazhong were sent to Liao to solve the boundary issue. This is exactly:

The rulers who have ruined the country have always been cowards. When will the people rise up when the country is rejuvenated? But I don’t know what will happen next. Let’s hear the explanation next time.
