Xiaota Buyan gave her husband a delicate hand that was rubbing his temples and frowned slightly. Yelu Dashi felt puzzled and said, "What's going on?"
"My concubine may be too extreme. After hearing what the Lord said, when I thought about the news, I thought it would be great if the Zhao Song family was involved in the rebellion at the foot of Lishan Mountain... I am really too petty!"
After all, Xiao Ta Buyan is not the queen mother who will hold the sole power in the future. She felt a little embarrassed when she said this and stroked the bead on her forehead.
Yelu Dashi smiled when he heard this, drank a glass of wine, and said: "Queen, you are being frank, but in fact it's not just you. There are several ministers in the court who don't think so in their hearts. They are just embarrassed to say it. Even I, don't you look forward to that?"
Cangzhou Zhao Jiu died in front of me."
Xiao Ta Buyan was a little surprised and said: "But I feel that the Lord has always been sympathetic to the Zhao and Song officials."
"Indeed, Zhao Jiu is one of the few people I admire for his popularity and ability. But Queen, you don't think that since we formed an alliance today, we are sincere brothers because of the hundreds of years of feud between Song and Liao. Now we are no longer Tan.
It’s time for the Yuan Alliance, otherwise, why do we continue to march westward? Is it possible that Yelu Yanshan is the only one who thinks about his hometown? Why don’t I want to go back to our hometown? Why don’t I want to return to Linhuang Mansion to see the reed flowers again, and then rise in the autumn
During the picnic in the city, we recited the saying "Jianjia is green, white dew is frost"? Then we took Yilie and Pu Suwan (their son and daughter) to Yanyuntai to see the merits of our ancestors, and also went to Shangjing Road to pay homage to Baima Qing
Bull? But the tower is not smoke-free. We all understand that it is impossible. There is no Song Zhenzong in the Song Dynasty today!" As he showed his true feelings, he did not even use "I" in the private conversation between husband and wife.
After all, if the Liao Dynasty is immortal, is he really willing to come to this land thousands of miles away and start over from scratch with a bright future ahead of him?
Xiao Ta Buyan was also heartbroken when he heard this, but he also understood that her husband was right. He forced a smile and said: "No wonder Brother Yelunu asked you to discuss with Zhao Guan's family a few days ago to exchange the six states of Hexi and Kedun City for Yanyun Sixteen
The land of Liaodong outside the state has been severely reprimanded by you. Not to mention the officials of Zhao and Song Dynasties, none of his civil and military officials will agree, and it will only create obstacles to the trade between the two countries."
Yelu Dashi held his wife's hand and sighed: "If you understand this, I will feel more at ease in the future. Although the gift from Princess Zhao Song is a small thing, it is also a small favor. I heard that Zhao Jiu loves the three of them very much."
As a daughter, you can never go wrong by being polite."
He is very optimistic about his wife in his heart, but he does not want to praise her so much that he will not be able to recognize the reality in the future.
Perhaps in order to let her husband relax, Xiao Ta Buyan started to squeeze his shoulders again and said casually: "Yes, I will definitely take care of it. Speaking of which, I heard that the Zhao Song official family originally had many children, but unfortunately they were all lost.
In that catastrophe, only two surviving children were sent back. There were rumors earlier that he remembered the tragedy all over the family and didn't like it, so it seems that the rumors are not accurate!"
"Of course these are nonsense." Yelu Dashi also relaxed and said casually: "As a man, when the earth collapses and the mountains destroy the strong men, naturally they can't care about anything except preserving their own strength to plan for their country and revitalize their ancestral industry.
.But when life is getting better, how can I despise my own flesh and blood? I can only blame myself for not having the ability to protect them. Otherwise, I am the same as Emperor Chaotian Zuo, the Supreme Emperor of the Song Dynasty. But if that is the case, I
There’s no need to worry so much.”
Zhao Guan's family, who asked Yelu Dashi to bother, arrived in Lingzhou within the Ningxia Road on March 12th of this year. For this reason, Ningxia Manager Hu Hongxiu was so nervous that he didn't sleep well for two days, so he quickly sent to Datong Road Manager Ren Baozhong and Li Shifu.
Letter, please ask the latter to bring a small number of soldiers to protect you.
After all, Ningxia has many parties, Tubo and other ethnic minorities, and not everyone expects the Song Emperor to rule the world. There have been constant conflicts over the years, and there may be an assassin somewhere. If anything happens again, it will most likely not be Lishan's ridiculousness.
It was a misunderstanding, but it was really going to be bloody. As party members, Ren Baozhong and Li Shifu were the only ones who were more worried than him, and they also knew how powerful it was.
However, Li Shifu's generals were stationed at the border to guard Mongolia. How could they dare to leave Datong without any purpose? Fortunately, his boss was considerate and had the safety of the official family at heart, so he asked to temporarily replace Li Shifu.
They stationed themselves there and exchanged people for them to accompany them. Although Zhao Guan's family felt that they were making a fuss, they also understood the concerns of the ministers and reluctantly agreed.
Therefore, Lingzhou, which was the hinterland of Xixia a few years ago, now has 2,000 Imperial Guards, 500 Imperial Guards, Deputy Commander Li Shifu and his subordinates, 1,500, and 1,000 Imperial Guards, for a total of 5,000
Centaur.
Those who knew he was here to control the river, but those who didn’t know thought he was going to fight a small battle with the dragon on his back!
But when it comes to river management, Zhao Guan's family really gained experience after going out this time. It turns out that cold floods not only occur in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, but also cause heavy losses in Ningxia! No wonder Zhao Tongpan collapsed on the river embankment from exhaustion before.
Liu Hongdao looked at Zhao Guan's family and sat on the river beach for a long time without saying anything. He felt a little ashamed. After all, he, the governor of the river, seemed to have done nothing serious these days except sorting out documents. He was responsible for measuring the river and analyzing the hydrology.
The person who supervised and actually found the criminals was Xiao En, the censor of the river patrol. It was over on Jingdong Road. I heard that You Xuexue also did an impressive job. The flood discharge route had been mapped out, and he was just waiting for his boss to sign and report it to the officials.
So, are you worthy of the extra salary?
In this regard, he had no choice but to step forward and persuade him: "Guanjia, the wind and sand in the northwest are strong, so you should take care of yourself." Seeing that the people on the seat did not respond, Yang Yizhong winked at him calmly, so he had to bite the bullet and said
: "Actually, the phenomenon of cold floods has existed since ancient times. It is caused by the geographical location and the shape of the river. For the Yellow River, when the river thaws in early spring, the ice and water flow down, the ice blocks the ice, and the water level rises, forming a serious cold flood.
It will flood farmland and wash away dikes. Especially officials have said that after the founding of Xixia, they did not pay attention to protecting the ecological balance and soil erosion, let alone control it. Therefore, this phenomenon occurs in Ningxia and Hedong, that is, ice jams occur in river sections.
The backlog of water caused the flood disaster. Previously, the Hancheng County magistrate asked the old farmers to guess that there would be a flood this year, so he forced the farmers to use huge rocks to cut the ice despite the infamy."
Zhao Jiu finally responded and said: "This county magistrate has done a good job. Do you know his name?"
Liu Hongdao replied: "The officials must have never expected that this person's name is Wang Jue. He is the great-grandson of King Wang Shu (Wang Anshi). He was granted the title of Xuanyi Lang in his early years. As a result, he joined the army after Jingkang and later became a civil servant."
Then Zhao Jiu really couldn't think of it, "If that's the case, why is he still a county magistrate after ten years? He doesn't look like an incompetent person. He is not from a public cabinet, so is he also being discriminated against?"
Liu Hongdao didn't quite understand this, but didn't he have Yang Yizhong who knew everything? He explained with a complex expression: "So that the officials will know that Wang Shu originally passed through Linchuan County on the West Jiangnan Road, and after Jingkang, Wang Jue and others also fled back
Later, because he was not angry about the national humiliation, he served under the command of the recent King Zhang Qi. However... his temper was very similar to that of his great-grandfather. He once accused the King of Qi of being greedy and lustful, and when he saw Zhang Xianggong in danger, he refused to save him.
And it was in front of people... Fortunately, the officials praised Wang Shu, so he was driven home by the King of Qi. Later, before the battle of Yaoshan, he voted for Wang Yan, the king of Anyang County, but he repeatedly made remarks
He should not have privatized the army...so he was transferred to a civilian position when the government was integrating Kansai, but because of his narrow selfishness in participating in Liu Xianggong's selfishness, he had to go to Xianggong Hu Yin's staff, and finally stayed there
Come on. It is said that after taking charge of the overall situation of Yanjing, Mr. Hu felt that he had no one under his command and wanted to recommend this person as an official. However, he thought that the people's livelihood in Hancheng was in decline and wanted to finish this term before declining."
Zhao Guan's family was stunned for a while after hearing this. He was a great ancestor here and there. I'm afraid he wasn't the reincarnation of Wang Anshi. No, the reincarnation of Wang Anshi didn't bring such an offending person. He also offended his superiors.
With this temper, he was still an official, and he was not beaten to death or exiled because of the blessings of his ancestors.
No wonder, Hu Yin had a good temper with this person, "I think he has done a great job this time. The construction of Yanjing is slow because there are no such capable ministers. Let him finish the spring plowing and go to Yanjing."
The government is here to recommend officials. Over there, from the staff department, go say hello."
Liu Hongdao and Yang Yizhong hurriedly said yes. Only then did Zhao Guanjia stand up, looking at the fields not far away that were messed up by the flood, and sighed: "I will still have to go out for a walk in the future. Otherwise, how can we know many things while sitting in a temple?"
What’s the inside story?”
Yang Yizhong, who was already relieved, suddenly felt suffocated and felt that if he continued like this, he might die young.
However, he couldn't help but think too much, because the sun was setting and the Zhao Guan family had finished sighing and had to go find Hu Jinglue to have dinner and chat.

The 2022 postgraduate entrance examination questions for the History Department of Yenching University (Chinese History):
Please briefly describe the impact of the Golden River Alliance.
standard answer:
The Jinhe Alliance refers to the alliance held by Zhao Jiu, the founder of the Song Dynasty, on the banks of the Jinhe River in Houtao (in the Baotou area) in the autumn of the sixth year of Jianyan in the Song Dynasty. The participants included Yelu Dashi, the emperor of the Western Liao Dynasty, and Bo'er, the king of the Eastern Mongolia.
Bu Le, King Kelie of Mongolia, Hu'er Zahusi, King of Gaochang Bilgebu Meng and others. The premise of this alliance was that the Song and Liao dynasties would join forces to carve up Xixia and force the Jurchens to withdraw from the Houtao area. This was the first time for the Song Dynasty since Jingkang
This meeting was held under the circumstances of taking the initiative and achieving complete victory. The specific impacts are as follows:
First: The Song-Jin war entered a stage of strategic stalemate. The Song army took the initiative to cut off the puppet Qi and Xixia who had surrendered to the Jin. They united with the remaining Western Liao and Mongolian tribes who had a strong desire to resist the Jin, forcing Goryeo to remain neutral. This cleared the way for strategic counterattacks.
Obstacles strengthened the anti-gold mentality within the imperial court.
Second: redefining the relationship between Song and Liao, clearing away the sense of humiliation within the Song court towards the Tanyuan Alliance, thus establishing a century-old political pattern in Asia.
Third: Through the coronation ceremony, Western Liao and Eastern Mongolia were blurred into Song Dynasty vassals, creating conditions for the subsequent return of the six Hexi states.
Fourth: The peaceful trade model established after the alliance promoted multi-ethnic integration and Mongolian Sinicization reform.
