In the high autumn season of September, Su Jin personally went to the Xia Kingdom as an envoy to express the Song Dynasty's intention to open trade and assist the Xia people in reconstruction, and invited Yeli Dulan and Li Ningling, the leader of the Xia Kingdom, to meet with the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Regarding the arrival of Su Jin, the mood of the Xia Kingdom was contradictory. This person was the culprit of the civil strife in Xia. It was because of this person that Daxia was now in a difficult situation; but at the same time, they had to
Admittedly, it was this person who allowed the Xia State to maintain its stability. Otherwise, under the combined attack of the Liao and Song Dynasties, the state would have collapsed long ago.
Especially the group of people who are in power now, the Empress Dowager Yeli and the country's leader Li Ningling are naturally the beneficiaries. If Su Jin took risks and maneuvered around, he would probably be buried under the power of the Wu Zang family. Zhang
Yuan Ren Jingde and others were also beneficiaries, so from a deep emotional point of view, they did not have such strong hatred for Su Jin.
After the Battle of Xia and Liao, less than half a month later, Yelv Zongzhen, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, sent an envoy to Xia to show his goodwill to the Xia people. In addition to explaining that both Xia and Liao were victims of this war, he also made an in-depth analysis
After understanding the behavior of the Song people, the Xia State needs to recognize the situation clearly, rebuild the traditional friendship with the Liao State, and jointly deal with the upcoming Song people's attacks. In fact, the Xia State court can clearly see this without the Liao State reminding them.
At this point, they did not hesitate to take the risk of angering the Song State, and resolutely moved the northern army to the south quickly to guard Yuzhou and Huizhou. Although they did not reply to the Liao State in writing, they had made their position clear in action...[
When Su Jin came to envoy, the whole Xia State was very nervous. They thought it was the Song people who came to raise an army to accuse them. Now even if they form an alliance with the Liao people, they may not be the opponents of the Song State if they join forces. It will always take a year or two to restore the national strength; for
As for Yeli Dulan, she was even worried that Su Jin came for the secret trade between the two families. Because after the war, Xia Kingdom lost hundreds of thousands of war horses, Yeli Dulan had ordered the Yeli tribe to ban any trade with Su Ji.
In the exchange of war horses for food, when faced with losing her head or starving, she would obviously choose the latter. I read
But what he didn't expect was that Su Jin actually proposed what the Xia people dreamed of, opening up trade between the two countries, providing food aid at low prices, and even Zhao Zhen wanted to apologize to them in person; it was like a thirsty traveler in the desert who suddenly saw a puddle of water.
Dahu, both overjoyed and worried that it was a mirage, suffered a lot from the Song Dynasty, and the Xia Kingdom was suspected to be very wary of the Song people.
After settling Su Jin politely, the Xia Kingdom began to hold intense discussions. From the old ministers and upstarts to the empress dowager and the emperor, as well as the officials of various ministries, they were all asked to express their opinions on the matter. Obviously, this kind of negotiation will only lead to two kinds of stalemate.
An unfailing opinion.
One group, represented by Zhang Yuan, suggested seizing this opportunity to fully restore national strength, because although trade between the Xia State and the Liao people is now open, they cannot communicate with each other. The value of trade is not great, and the help to the Xia State is not obvious;
Another group of people believed that the Song people were delaying the war and adopting a win-win strategy. The purpose was to defeat them one by one in the end. They might use this matter to make the relationship between Liao and Xia tense, and then use the national and social security as a coercion to force the Xia and Liao people.
In war, it is said that one gains wisdom after one encounters a pit, and one should not fall for the Song Dynasty's trick again.
The two opinions were at loggerheads, leaving Queen Mother Yeli to make a decision. Queen Mother Yeli had no choice but to come up with a plan. She wanted to have a good talk with Ah Li and Yeli Dulan, who were coming with Su Jin as envoys. Maybe Su Jin wouldn't
He would talk to the two women about national affairs on the pillow, but the two women were deeply loved by Su Jin, and they must know all the inside information. Just read it in my book
Empress Dowager Yeli warmly invited Su Jin and his entourage to visit various scenic spots in Xingqing Mansion. She sent Zhang Yuan and the old monks to pester Su Jin when they were resting in the Zen room of Chengtian Temple, while she quietly stayed in the Zen room with Yeli Duanyun and Li
Ah Li narrated, Xiao Zhi used the principles of the country to inspire family affection, and made all kinds of tricks, making the two women cry and reveal their true feelings, and finally told some things they knew.
Yeli Duanyun said: "Aunt, my niece knows that I, Daxia, are wary of Su Jin. My niece also feels guilty for this, because in the previous events, Su Jin's actions have really harmed my Daxia.
Not small; but to our Yeli tribe, Su Jin has been extremely kind and righteous, and he has never done anything detrimental to our Yeli tribe; even a few months ago, when his aunt ordered the suspension of the war horse trade, Su Jin did not
He did not blame my cousin and I for this. On the contrary, he comforted us and said, "This is normal. The Queen Mother's decision is a decision that is beneficial to Xia Guo. From this standpoint, I can understand that the war horse transaction can be terminated, and Su Ji can't."
Because of this, other transactions with the Yeli tribe will be cut off. You can rest assured.' Aunt, this is why Su Ji is still secretly delivering food to our Yeli tribe. If there is a famine in the next year, what will happen to Daxia?
You should understand it clearly."
Yeli Dulan nodded and said: "This is just a lie, the Ai family said, my two pretty girls were deceived by him, he is also the son-in-law of our Yeli tribe, so he will not be so heartless.
"
Yeli Duanyun said: "He won't do it. Think about it, for Ah Li, he was willing to take risks and use tricks, and he almost died in the palace with us. Just for this reason, you should believe in his character."
Of course, he is from the Song Dynasty and holds a high-ranking official position. It is understandable that everyone has his own master. Therefore, the starting point of doing things is for the sake of the Song Dynasty, but he will find a balance point; does his aunt know that Song Dynasty
The state was extremely angry when he learned that Daxia and the Liao people had reconciled. If Su Jin hadn't played a role in it, Daxia would have been overwhelmed by soldiers. The strength of the Song State is now more than enough to destroy Daxia, but Su Jin did not agree to do so, so he
It’s to protect our Yeli tribe.”
Yeli Dulan was shocked and said: "They want to attack Xia? Aren't they afraid that Liao and Xia will join forces?"
Yeli Duanyun said: "I don't understand the war. Maybe the Song State is not afraid of Daxia and Liao joining forces at all, and you are so sure that the Liao people will send troops to rescue them? The Liao people have been hit hard, so they may choose to recover.
The vitality is also unknown.”
Yeli Dulan nodded and said without saying a word: "So, the additional condition for Su Jin coming to Daxia this time to offer various preferential conditions must be to break off diplomatic relations with the Liao people?"
Yeli Duanyun shook his head and said: "This niece really doesn't know. Although I ask Su Jin, he will definitely tell me, but I won't ask, and no one in the Su family will ask. Even Yan Biyun, the eldest wife of the Su family, will never ask."
Su Jin's official duties; but my niece is also a Dangxiang person, so my heart naturally hopes that our Dangxiang family will prosper and live in peace and contentment. From this point of view, my niece believes that it is safer to rely on the Song Dynasty than to rely on the Liao people. The Liao people are tigers and wolves.
, can be known from his attitude towards the northern Jin people and the Korean people."
Yeli Dulan said: "Why are the Song people not the same? When the late emperor was in power, the Song Dynasty and the late emperor had been fighting for several years."
Yeli Duanyun sighed: "Auntie, please don't forget. It was because the late emperor was not satisfied with the status quo and suddenly proclaimed himself emperor. Song people had better save face. As long as they have face, it doesn't matter even if they suffer a little loss. My aunt would like to think about it. Before the late emperor,
Before he became emperor, had there been any large-scale conflicts between the Song Dynasty and Xia Dynasty in the decades? Moreover, the Song Dynasty also gave gifts such as coins and silk every year, and border trade was also very active. With the support of the Song people in those decades, we
How could Daxia survive today? I'm afraid it would have been destroyed by the Tubo and Liao people."
Yeli Dulan was silent. This is true. In fact, if it weren't for the support and tolerance of the Song Dynasty, Li Yuanhao would not have the strength to challenge the Song people. If we go back in time, if Li Yuanhao had not taken that step ten years ago, what he is today would be
I'm afraid Daxia is already extremely rich, so it won't live in fear every day, and it won't be in crisis everywhere. The people can't even provide food and clothing.
Yeli Dulan made a decision in her heart. In her hands, Daxia must be stable. After all, Daxia is too barren and does not have the capital to dominate the world. If it continues to falter, it is unknown whether the country will be exterminated.
"Is he okay with you? You are both my noble daughters of Great Xia, but you have to be his concubine. It's really wronged." Yeli Dulan finally showed his warm side.
Li Ahli smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother. My cousin and I are very happy. The Su family is not as hierarchical as you think. Sister Yan is also easy to get along with. In the Su family, we each manage a business and are busy.
She is very popular and respected; there are no titles of wives or concubines in the Su family. My cousin and I are both wives, and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty also gave us titles. My cousin and I are both wives of the fifth rank." [
Yeli Dulan sighed: "If Princess Daxia didn't do it, she would be so happy to have a royal title. I really don't know what you think."
Yeli Duanyun said: "We have no future, and it doesn't matter if we don't fulfill our destiny. We just like a person, and we will be satisfied if we can follow him."
Yeli Dulan sighed again: "You have all changed. Duan Yun would never say such words before. Duan Yun used to be like a little wild horse on the grassland. It seems that Su Jin will completely destroy you."
