Chapter 961 Since all scholar-bureaucrats miss the Song Dynasty, then...
"I want to lead the expedition myself, and no one can stop me!"
"Your Majesty, think twice! Your Majesty, think twice!"
Seeing that Yelu Yanxi was strong and strong, he rushed out bravely and persuaded the officials headed by Xiao Fengxian.
This is not the Nabo Palace of the Liao Emperor, but the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing. This palace, which was rarely used except when the Liao Emperor ascended the throne, finally came into play.
The king and his ministers took refuge.
King Xi returned to Libao and officially rebelled, catching Emperor Tianzuo and all the central officials by surprise.
The main reason is that Emperor Tianzuo has been obsessed with hunting. The courtiers saw that the memorials they had worked so hard to write were like mud flowing into the sea, and there was no news. They gradually stopped submitting letters, became more and more lazy in political affairs, and responded very slowly.
In comparison, although King Xi was forced to rebel by Oruduo disguised as Wanyan Zonghan and others, he had indeed been rebelling for a long time. After the uprising, he even moved to Xizhou County and surrounded the officials in the mausoleum.
The proclamation is as follows: "Today, Zuo Yan'an indulges in pleasure and has no regard for the people. One person has lost his virtue. The world has collapsed. Bandits have risen. Jackals and wolves have blocked the roads. The emperor Xingzong, Sun Wei Wang Chun, has a noble moral character, can manage the world and bring peace to the people. He is in charge of the country.
The clan is proud of the clan, and the world is blessed with grace. I want to calm down the spirits of the nine temples, and want to save the lives of all people. This is why I do this. I am truly sincere and hope that the Holy Spirit will bless me..."
To put it simply, this was to let the senior officials of all clans know that King Xi did not proclaim himself emperor when he returned to Libao, but instead supported Yelu Chun of the Khitan royal family as emperor to replace the mediocre and unprincipled Emperor Tianzuo.
In fact, everyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the standard route of aristocratic rebellion. First, elect a puppet emperor, use him as a righteous name, wait for the foundation to be stable, then abolish the puppet emperor, or force him to abdicate, and naturally he will be crowned the great treasure.
.
Just like when Li Yuan rebelled, he honored Yang You, the grandson of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, as the emperor. In just one year, Yang You was forced to abdicate. After another year, Yang You died young. Some said he died of illness, others said he was killed.
, with Li Yuan’s magnanimity, it is entirely possible to assassinate him.
Two hundred years after the founding of the Liao Dynasty, the degree of Chineseization was extremely deep. It also consciously followed the Tang system, and its officials naturally followed suit.
When King Xi's army occupied Zhongzhou and asked Yelu Chun to sacrifice in various temples and named him Emperor Tianxi, Yelu Yanxi was furious: "King Xi dares to rebel and summons Oruduo. I will lead the troops to fight in person."
Kill all the Xi clan!"
The ministers tried hard to persuade him and persuaded him to quit. However, as the bad news that the front line could not be conquered came back, Yelu Yanxi had another attack.
When the Jurchens went to Goryeo, they actually rebelled. But the Jurchens were able to fight, and he was out of sight and out of mind. Now a group of people who built cars for the Khitan nobles dared to rebel. If they were not calmed down quickly, wouldn't they lose their majesty?
Xiao Fengxian had witnessed his outstanding performance when he went south to attack the Song Dynasty. This time, he absolutely did not dare to let Emperor Tianzuo go into battle to help the opponent. He simply threatened: "King Xi is plotting rebellion, and there may be support from Yan Ting. Your Majesty has a body of thousands of gold."
, don’t take risks!”
These words were very effective. Yelu Yanxi was startled. His momentum of rushing out immediately slowed down and he retreated: "King Yan wants to tear up the covenant? Isn't he the most moral person?"
Xiao Fengxian could only say: "I am not sure, but the Xi people were able to survive the previous famine, and the merchants of Yan people provided a lot of support. Now King Xi suddenly rebelled, and the Yan army invaded Liaodong with great force on the grounds of resisting the Jin people.
I'm afraid the covenant is about to be broken..."
Yelu Yanxi thought that she had betrayed the Chanyuan Alliance and went south to invade the Song Dynasty. If she wanted to save others by herself, why couldn't Yan Ting tear up the Wuzhou Alliance?
His brows showed a bright color: "If the elite Yan people go north, how can we, the Liao army, compete with them?"
Xiao Fengxian heard it very harshly. Although the Yan army was powerful, these words should not come from the mouth of the Liao Emperor. It would have a heavy blow to the morale of the three armies. But at this time, he just wanted to persuade Yelu Yanxi to give up: "No matter what, the personal expedition will be impossible." This is the best strategy. Your Majesty should sit down in Beijing and recruit loyal tribes from all over the world to destroy the rebels..."
While he was persuading, the announcement came in: "Report! The Jin envoy wants to see you!"
Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Wuna looked at each other in confusion: "What is the Jin man doing here? Call him in!"
Wanyan Gao walked in, still respectful as before, and gave a courtesy that an envoy should not have done: "Foreign Minister Wanyan Gao, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Liao!"
Yelu Yanxi felt slightly relieved when he saw it. At least the Jin people did not look down on him. Then he felt angry. When did he actually want the Jin people to look down on him? He raised his hands stiffly: "The Jin people are not polite, what are you doing here?" ?”
Wanyan Gao said directly: "My Lord cares about His Majesty. He heard that the Yan people were invading and sent troops to help. However, he was blocked by the Yan army outside Liaoyang Mansion and suffered heavy casualties..."
He said it very frankly, because the Jin army in Liaoyang Prefecture suffered a disastrous defeat and suffered a loss of over 10,000 yuan, which could not be concealed.
Yelu Yanxi narrowed his eyes: "I would like to thank the gold master for being so enthusiastic, but the King of Yan has always disliked the gold people. How does the gold envoy know that the Yan army did not go specifically for you?"
Wanyan Gao said without hesitation: "Your Majesty is aware of everything, and foreign officials dare not deceive it. The Yan army may indeed come specifically for our Jin people. However, the Yan army went to war without declaring it. Now that they have entered Liaodong, if our Jin people were destroyed, how could it be possible? Will they leave directly? The Liao Dynasty repeatedly invaded the Central Plains in the past, and the King of Yan is now the leader of the Southern Dynasty. They are all gained from the confrontation with the Liao army. The two countries have old grievances!"
Yelu Yanxi's face darkened.
Wanyan Gao continued: "Moreover, King Xi was in Zhongjing and made Yelv Chun the emperor. The Yan army was in Xijing and also formed an alliance with King Yelu Dezhong of Nanyuan. If Yan Ting chooses this person as the leader..."
Yelu Yanxi's expression changed.
Yelv Chun was nothing to worry about, but Yelv Dezhong had always been prestigious. When Xiao Wuna was still alive, he was worried that the Taifu would welcome Yelu Dezhong as emperor. Now that the old matter was brought up again, he suddenly became wary.
Wanyan Gao observed the words and expressions and knew that the time was ripe, so he concluded: "Liao and Jin are one family. We should help each other and form alliances to deal with foreign enemies. I hope His Majesty the Emperor of Liao will understand our Lord's painstaking efforts!"
Yelu Yanxi was silent for a moment, neither agreeing nor rejecting: "According to your words, how can we defeat the Yan army?"
Wanyan Gao said: "The Yan army has many infantry and few cavalry, and the heavy armored cavalry is not enough to attack for a long distance. Our army should mainly harass it, tire its main force, and cut off its food routes, so it can be broken!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yelu Yanxi didn’t believe it: “So simple?”
Wanyan Gao himself didn't quite believe it, but what he wanted was to avoid the important and give the Liao Emperor confidence: "Of course it's more than that. Our clan's latest news is that there is great chaos in the Yan court, and the ministers of the previous Zhao and Song dynasties did not accept the new policies of the King of Yan. , the crowd was so excited that some scholars even cursed the former army for their defeat, and were thrown into prison by the King of Yan in anger, which attracted everyone to plead for mercy!"
Yelu Yanxi's eyes brightened: "If there is civil strife in Yanjing, this is an opportunity... I didn't expect you Jin people to be so concerned about Yanjing. I don't even know about it!"
Wanyan Gao also knew that not long ago, Wanyan Po Lu Huo was not a spy at all, but Qin Hui asked him to find contacts. After all, even if he kidnapped the scholar-bureaucrat, he would have to be sent to Liaodong without anyone to help him, so he was able to get on the line
, passed the news about Yanjing, and immediately felt like a treasure.
Of course, he did not forget to congratulate the Liao Emperor who was so happy for his success at this time: "This is your majesty's great blessing to heaven. We dare not take credit. We only wish to regard Liao as the suzerain, fight against the Yan thieves, recruit Han officials, and jointly boost the prestige of the Northern Dynasty."
!”
Yelu Yanxi was very surprised: "According to the wishes of the Jin envoy, are you still planning to kidnap people from the Yan territory?"
Wanyan Gao said: "The Liao and the Song Dynasty have been brotherly countries for many years. Your Majesty is the brother of the Song Emperor. The Song Dynasty clan is also in our Jin Dynasty now. Those officials are looking forward to the dynasty and miss the Song Dynasty. They hit it off right away. Is it possible?
Is it a robbery?"
Yelu Yanxi clicked her tongue: "This is interesting!"
Since the return of Yan Yun, people from the Liao Kingdom have been fleeing to the south one after another in recent years. However, Yan Ting not only resettled Han people, but also other ethnic groups as Fan people. It can be said that no one was refused.
The flight of many Han officials indeed further deteriorated the Liao government. They looked down on those people before, but later they missed them greatly. After all, Han officials were submissive and good at government affairs. Such loyal ministers were really hard to find.
Now seeing that the Jin Kingdom actually wanted to take away the scholar-bureaucrats from the territory of Yan and pull out the tiger's teeth, Yelu Yanxi naturally felt that the world was wonderful: "Then I will wait and see!"
The two parties agreed on some details, and Wanyan Gao said goodbye and left.
Seeing the Jin envoy disappear, Xiao Fengxian hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, the Jin people are very ambitious. First they went south and kidnapped the Zhao and Song clans, and now they want to recruit Han officials. Once they gain power, they will definitely annex Daliao!
"
Although he received a lot of benefits from the Jin people, he never wanted the Jurchen to get on top of him.
"Of course I know that this straight slave girl has bad intentions..."
In his heart, Yelu Yanxi still regarded the Jin people as domestic slaves, and he was not willing to hand over the territory of the Liao Kingdom to these Jurchens.
But he was not as heavy as Yelu. He knew that the Liao Kingdom was really going to be weak. Friends and slaves had to choose one side. Emperor Tianzuo was unwilling to give any of them: "Since the Jin army relies on their own bravery, let them fight with each other."
When the Yan army goes to fight, we will seize the advantage. As long as we destroy the traitorous slaves in Huilibao, wouldn't it be a good thing?"
Xiao Fengxian frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy..."
Yelu Yanxi glared at him: "Then what clever plan you have, tell me!"
Xiao Fengxian was suddenly speechless.
Don't talk about him, even if Xiao Wuna comes back to life now, he probably won't be able to come up with any strategies.
The situation is like this, there is nothing we can do...
Yelu Yanxi said: "Once the Jin people have restrained the Yan army, I will go on a personal expedition to quell the rebellion of the Xi tribe. At that time, the two countries of Yan and Jin will still look up to me, fearing that I, Liao, will help the other side!"
Xiao Fengxian could only imagine this, forced out a smile and complimented: "Your Majesty is wise!"
…
"Emperor Tianzuo is arrogant and ignorant. The Liao Kingdom is the weakest, and he still wants to gain benefits?"
After leaving Shangjing, Wanyan Gao met with the Jin warriors. After hearing his description, Wanyan Zonghan geared up: "Destroy them first!"
Wanyan Gao said: "Liao's domestic and foreign troubles are no longer a concern. We'd better let the Yan army take action first. If that doesn't work, we must learn the lesson from the destruction of Goryeo and bring back the officials of the Song Dynasty first. We, the Jin Kingdom, want to rule
There is a shortage of slaves like this in the Liao territory..."
Thinking of his godson Zhao Gou, he showed a fatherly smile: "The Song Dynasty clan that had narrowly escaped death and was welcomed back has finally been put to great use!"
