The sun rises and the moon sets, ultimately reincarnation in heaven
The clouds are rolling and the clouds are relaxing. This cannot be changed by human effort.
The Liao Dynasty had ruled Mobei for two hundred years, but it finally came to a time when the sun was setting. Under internal and external troubles, the royal family and descendants were still fighting overtly and covertly for power; foreign enemies were about to approach Shangjing, and the royal family and descendants were still quarreling over whether to war or peace. In this way in Liao, Is there any justice to being undefeated?
Yunzheng stood on the high steps with a smile, watching Xiao Tianzuo, the king of the North Court of Liao Kingdom, leading a group of people up from below, but he had no intention of greeting him personally. He just waited for Xiao Tianzuo to get up the steps and almost walked in front of him. After that, he smiled slightly, cupped his fists and bowed easily: "I look forward to King Xiao, just like King Wu looks forward to Zixu."
Xiao Tianzuo saluted: "Young Marshal is a great person in this world, but this comparison is so inappropriate. If this king cannot become Wu Zixu, Young Marshal... I'm afraid he is not the King of Wu?"
Yun Zheng waved his hand and said calmly: "The Emperor of Zhou is the common ruler of the world, and the King of Wu is just a local prince. It is absolutely inappropriate for me to compare myself to the King of Wu. As for whether King Xiao is Wu Zixu, I think Fei Wuji has not yet taken power at this moment. Chu King Ping has not killed Wu Zixu’s father and brother... so it is too early to say anything."
Fei Wuji was a fawning minister of the Chu State in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He also served as Fei Wuji's official and paid homage to the crown prince's young master. King Chu Ping chose a girl from the Qin State to marry his son. He then informed the world that everything was ready and sent the doctor Fei Wuji to marry Fei Wuji. It is forbidden to see such a beautiful girl and think that such a beautiful girl should be dedicated to the powerful King Ping of Chu.
So, Fei Wuji desperately went back to the palace and told King Chu Ping in detail about the girl's beauty, and suggested that the king marry the prince before he could meet him, and then seek help for the prince. King Chu Ping was persuaded by the eloquent Fei Wuji. However, this matter is related to the image of the country, so I have to ask Fei Wuji to handle it carefully.
In the blink of an eye, the girl from Qin who was supposed to be the prince's wife became the concubine of her father-in-law, King Chu Ping. Fei Wuji took care of the matter, and King Chu Ping appreciated him even more. However, Fei Wuji, who had a guilty conscience, was restless and worried. He knew that the prince was Sooner or later he will become the king, so he told the prince that this was the king's intention and had nothing to do with him, and "comforted him with good words". He said that there were so many beauties in the world that he would find a better one. He also said bad things about the prince to King Chu Ping: "Since the king has been happy, From now on, the prince will always have trouble with him, and he also hates you, the king. The prince has been moving around recently and hanging out with several generals all day long. There are signs of rebellion. The king must find a way.
King Ping adopted Fei Wuji's suggestion and sent Prince Jian to guard the city father. The name was to send Prince Jian to take charge of the outside of Fangcheng, and King Ping himself to take charge of the inside of Fangcheng. The next year, Fei Wuji falsely accused Prince Jian of conspiring with Wu She, and Jin became the king. Foreign aid launched a rebellion, and King Ping believed it was true. He summoned Wu She and severely questioned Wu She for advising King Ping not to kiss his subordinates and alienate their relatives. King Ping was stubborn and imprisoned Wu She. He sent Sima Fenyang, the father of the city, to kill the prince Jian Fenyang, who knew the prince was in love. Jian was innocent and secretly sent someone to inform Prince Jian first, then he went on his way without any panic.
Prince Jian fled to the Song Dynasty, and Fenyang rushed to the city father Fenyang to ask the city father's doctor to escort him to Yingdu to face his crime. King Ping asked Fenyang: That order came from my mouth and reached your ears. , who leaked that it was built for the prince? Fen Yang said frankly: The king once asked me to serve the prince as I serve the king. Although I am not talented, I dare not half-heartedly carry out the king's previous instructions. I can't bear to follow the king's instructions later. The minister who executed the order let the prince run away, and now he regrets it.
King Ping asked: Then, why do you dare to come to see me? Fen Yang said: I have not completed the king's mission. If I don't come, I will be disobeying my order again. I dare not come. King Ping has no choice but to say to Fen Yang: Go back to the city father. , still be an official like before!
Prince Jian was forced to flee to the Song Dynasty, and Wu She was persecuted to death. However, his son Wu Zixu escaped and went to Wu to help King Helu of Wu usurp the country. Later, he and Sun Wu launched an army against Chu, captured the capital of Ying, and conquered Chu. After King Ping dug up the tomb and whipped the corpse, he had to ask Baoxu to borrow Qin soldiers to help him, so that he could restore the country.
Of course, Fei Wuji's end was not good later. He and General Yan were jealous of Zuo Yin and Quewan defeated Wu, so they killed his entire family. Quewan's son Bo Pei fled to the Wu Kingdom and the people of Wu State resented Ling Yin (equivalent to Prime Minister) Nangwa. Now that Nangwa had the power, he simply killed Fei Wuji and exterminated his clan.
Xiao Tianzuo was familiar with history books and naturally understood the meaning of Yun Zheng's words. He raised his brows and was about to retort when Yun Zheng looked into his eyes and continued: "King Xiao wants to say that your nephew is definitely not the King of Chu Ping." Like?"
Xiao Tianzuo looked calm, bowed his hands to the north, and said: "Your Majesty, your majesty is so majestic, wise and mighty, unparalleled in the world, how can he be compared to a mediocre person like King Ping of Chu?"
Yun Zheng laughed, shook his head and said: "King Chu Ping is not mediocre. It's just that there are too many villains around the king. In the end, bad things will happen. If there is no Zhao Gao by Ying Zheng's side, will Qin be strong again?" Is it hard to say whether he will die in this world? Right now, Daliao is already in trouble... Well, there were a lot of troubles in the past, but the emperor is still only thinking about how to get back power from the Queen Mother. Prince Xiao, don't you think so? Do you think this is a blessing?"
Xiao Tianzuo really didn't expect that Yun Zheng would say this to him. He was a little confused about Yun Zheng's meaning. He hesitated and said: "This is a matter of our Daliao. Marshal Yun just heard it from hearsay. He said it with such certainty. This is ridiculous - as the King of the North Courtyard, I have no idea that His Majesty the Emperor wants to take back the power from the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is the biological mother of His Majesty the Emperor. The Emperor is still young and is descended from the Queen Mother. Taking charge of state affairs is our system of the Liao ancestors, and there is nothing wrong with it. Why does Marshal Yun use this to instigate others and only make people laugh?"
Yun Zheng led Xiao Tianzuo into the middle hall, but asked all the generals and the staff brought by Xiao Tianzuo to wait outside for them to sit down separately. Yun Zheng then said: "Young master, the country is in doubt. Although the Queen Mother Xiao will leave this country The doubtful ten years have passed, but His Majesty the Emperor of your country is getting older now, and his desire for power is also getting bigger. However... I am afraid that neither Queen Mother Xiao nor you, King Xiao, have any confidence in your Emperor's ability to govern. Are you very optimistic? At this time, there must be a contradiction. On the one hand, according to the ancestral system, the power should be taken, on the other hand, the power is held but is unwilling or afraid to let go... In this way, the two must have a dispute. If it is not an open fight, It must be a secret robbery”
Xiao Tianzuo saw that Yun Zheng didn't mention anything about today's business, but only talked about the discord between the emperor and the queen mother. He was secretly wary and said calmly, "Young Commander Yun is too worried. My emperor and the queen mother are very close. Nothing like what the young marshal said has ever happened.”
Yun Zheng seemed not to have heard what Xiao Tianzuo said and continued: "This overt and covert struggle is also a grand event. Think about the fact that the Yelu royal family had nearly 200,000 elite Khitan soldiers, while the descendants of the Xiao family only had more than 100,000. This The difference in strength determined that Yelu would be the emperor and the Xiao family would be the queen. As for the Han army and the other tribes, although there were three to four hundred thousand soldiers, their combat power and organizational ability were far behind, and they were not worthy of fear. And thus entered the prosperous age... However, since the Southern Expedition of the Liao Dynasty was defeated by my father's commander more than ten years ago, the situation in the Liao Kingdom has begun to change. First, the original main force of the Liao Army, the Yelu Royal Family, began to decrease, and Correspondingly, the Xiao family of the later clan suffered almost no loss in military strength, and the difference in military strength between the two sides became extremely small. After the death of your 'first emperor', Empress Dowager Xiao took charge of power, and Dai'er was regent. During these ten years, the Yelv family The Xiao family not only competed for political power, but also refused to give in to each other's military power. They each attracted a group of tribal armies and Han troops... The Xiao family was good at holding political power, and the Yelu family had the reputation of "righteousness". The two sides competed. , where can we take care of other things? This is exactly why a heavy snowfall last year forced the huge Liao Kingdom to rely on going south to clear grass and valleys to survive."
At this time, Xiao Tianzuo's face was already very gloomy. He was not angry, but full of shock. Yunzheng actually knew so much about the situation in Liao Kingdom!
However, Yun Zheng still refused to let him go, and continued to say leisurely and contentedly: "Then, the reason why the Jurchens raised their troops was very clear to King Xiao. I will not say more and just talk about the results of the battle... Hehe, what about the first two battles?
Those who were defeated and injured were all direct descendants of the Yelu family. If the loss of these direct line troops had not made the young emperor feel distressed, how could there have been so many peace talks? This is the Eastern Front. Besides, this prince is sending troops this time.
When sending troops this time, the deployment of military forces in the south was very interesting. There were very few Xiao's troops in the south, and they were almost invisible before Zhongjing. However, what this prince faced all the way to Zhongjing was the Han army and the Han army who had defected to the Yelu family.
The tribal army... After reaching Zhongjing, Yelu Pingcheng brought the last army that the royal family could mobilize to fight with me. However, it still failed. The only difference this time was that Yelu Pingcheng only lost 10,000 people.
I hurried back and some people who didn’t know the details thought that Yelu Pingcheng was afraid of death. In fact, I knew that he was not afraid of death at all. He was just afraid that the last elite soldier of the Yelu royal family would be buried by him. After his death, he would be sorry for all the previous emperors.
...King Xiao, do you think there is some truth to these words of this prince?"
Xiao Tianzuo looked at Yun Zheng. Although his expression was normal, in fact, his heart was already turned upside down. He said, "Young Marshal Yun is sitting far away in Yanjing, but he seems to be in the capital. He actually knows the inside of Daliao so well. I don't believe it."
Zhiqiong said these words to you, presumably because Marshal Yun has countless spies in Daliao?"
Yun Zheng smiled: "That's not the point. The key is, Lord Xiao, can you admit that what I said is true?"
Xiao Tianzuo sighed: "Since Marshal Yun already knows so clearly, what else can I say?"
Yun Zheng burst out laughing. Xiao Tianzuo waited for Yun Zheng to finish laughing and asked calmly: "Young Marshal Yun has said so much. I guess he must have been prepared for today's peace treaty. Can you please tell me?"
Yunzheng smiled faintly, clapped his hands and said, "Send it up."
