As soon as Zhao Xu woke up, Feng Jing came to report: "Everyone... General Youtunwei, Zunyu, the minister of Xi Taiyi Palace, unfortunately died last night..."
Zhao Xu sighed and asked, "Is it so sudden?"
In fact, everyone knows that after Gao Zunyu suffered a stroke, he became a living dead.
It's a miracle that it can survive until now.
After all, care for paralysis caused by stroke is a big problem even in modern times.
Feng Jingdao: "I heard that I drank wine last night..."
Zhao Xu shook his head, still drinking after having a stroke...are you looking for death?
After getting up and washing, I had breakfast and Queen Mother Xiang also came.
"Brother Six, do you know about Gao Zunyu?"
Zhao Xu nodded.
"Go to Baoci Palace and comfort the Empress Dowager..."
When Gao Zunyu died, the Empress Dowager had only one uncle, Gao Zunhui, still alive.
Of course she was sad.
So when Zhao Xu and Empress Dowager Xiang arrived at Baoci Palace, the Empress Dowager's eyes were still red.
Zhao Xu saluted, sat next to her, and said: "Mother, please express my condolences..."
The Queen Mother sighed.
Zhao Xu looked at Liang Weijian who was standing beside him and asked: "Liang Duzhi... General Youtunwei unfortunately passed away from illness. According to the story, how should I give him a posthumous gift?"
Liang Weijian lowered his head and replied: "To tell you all, the story can be given to the appointed defense envoy..."
Zhao Xu nodded and said: "I have passed the decree, General Zunyu of the Youtun Guard, Yingwu Shengxiao Emperor, uncle of the Empress Dowager, and close relative of my country, unfortunately passed away due to illness. I deeply mourn him and give him as a gift."
Zunyu Jiedushi!"
Liang Weijian was stunned for a moment. Seeing that neither palace had any objection, he immediately bowed and said, "I accept the decree..."
When Liang Weijian left, the Empress Dowager said: "In the official family, Zunyu once lost his master in Lingzhou, how can he posthumously give Jiedu a gift?"
Zhao Xu replied: "This is the way for saints to hide themselves from each other..."
If you don't clean up Gao Zunyu, how can you clean up the late emperor?
Will future generations be allowed to assign the title of Master of Micro-Management to the English Liewu Shengxiao Emperor?
The Queen Mother listened, sighed, and stopped talking.
After Liang Weijian passed the decree, neither the Dutang nor Zhongshu nor his disciples had any objections - it was just a posthumous gift, not a true tribute!
He quickly drafted a decree and sent it to Gao Zunyu's home.
Therefore, Gao Zunyu gave a posthumous gift to the Chongning Army's Military Envoy in the name of the late emperor's general and a clan member of the country.
This allows Gao Zunyu's funeral to be more beautiful and his tombstone to be taller.
You can also write more kind words on your epitaph.
…
Xing Shu walked into Gao Mansion and looked at Gao Zunyu and his disciples who were already kneeling in the hall wearing sackcloth and mourning.
He sighed, picked up the incense, went to Gao Zunyu's memorial tablet, bowed respectfully and said in his heart: "Brother Gongzhuo, I will remember your request..."
Gao Zunyu had nothing to say to him.
Not only did he recommend him to Gao Zunhui, Gao Gonghui and others.
He also managed the relationship and said good things about his punishment and forgiveness in front of the two palaces.
Let Xing Shu complete the most critical step in his life - August Xinwei, Yousi Langzhong, and deputy envoy Xing Shu became a member of Zhongshushe.
In other words, the current Xingshu is already a so-called minister with two systems - the internal system is Hanlin bachelor, and the external system is Zhongshusheren.
Gao Zunyu's sons quickly thanked him for the gift.
Xingshu sighed and comforted them one by one.
Just when I saw Gao Shichong, I shook my head in my heart.
…
Gao Zunyu's death did not cause too many waves.
No one is even discussing this.
Because everyone already regarded Gao Zunyu as a dead person on the day he suffered a stroke.
Today is just the last nail in the coffin.
Also on this day, Song and Xixia completed the signing of a new peace treaty.
The new peace treaty stipulates: 1: The Xia Kingdom declared itself a vassal to the Song Dynasty, and sent envoys tribute horses to congratulate the Song Dynasty. The emperor of the Song Dynasty rewarded Xia with twice the value of the tribute horses.
2: The Song and Xia delimited the border based on their current actual control. When officials and criminals who escaped from each other were encountered, they were not allowed to cross the border and pursue them, but both sides should repatriate these people.
Three: Re-open three main border markets, two in the Song Dynasty and one in the Xia Dynasty.
Four: Allow Xia State's green salt to be sold in Shaanxi, and allow Xia State to reestablish a chamber of commerce in Bianjing to sell Xia State's specialties.
Five: In order to show sincerity, the Song Dynasty will release the Xia nobles captured in historical wars such as the prince's son-in-law, Lajue Weiming, etc. after the peace treaty is confirmed. The Xia Kingdom will need to release those captured since Yuanfeng, especially in the battle of Yongle City.
officials and soldiers of the Song Dynasty.
After the peace treaty was signed, Xixia envoy Wei Mingmo Duo and others immediately paid their respects.
They had to return home, send the peace treaty to Xingqing Mansion for sealing, and then send it to Bianjing for sealing. Only then would the peace treaty be truly concluded.
Therefore, after Wei Ming Mo Duo and other majesty's speeches, the two palaces issued a special edict to the generals along the border, requiring fortresses in various places to strictly guard against the invasion of Western invaders, but they were not allowed to take the initiative to attack.
The news of the signing of the new treaty between Song and Xia naturally spread quickly in Dutingyi.
Yeluju, the Liao envoy, naturally heard about this incident.
"The Southern Dynasty and the Xilu actually made peace..." After Yeluju figured out the matter, he felt a little uneasy.
"Will the Southern Dynasty continue to have relations with our country?"
Just thinking of this made Yeluju unable to sit still.
Please note that news has already come from China.
The Emperor of the Liao Dynasty has ordered Xiao Buda, the minister of the Privy Council, to return the favor and is on his way to Bianjing.
Calculate that the time is almost up.
Xiao Buda was also an important minister of Daliao!
Naturally, he came here to personally confirm the transfer of the Sui coins to the emperor, and he also brought the authorization from the Emperor of Liao.
If Xiao Buda also came to Bianjing, the Southern Dynasty would not want to talk about this matter.
Yeluju knew that the Emperor of Liao was furious.
He can't escape the involvement either!
However, when Yeluju tentatively asked the envoy Zeng Bu, he was confirmed again - Emperor of the Song Dynasty, you have no joke.
This made him feel relieved.
…
Xiao Buda also came quickly.
In August Wuyin (seventeenth day), he arrived in Bianjing City and was sent to Duting Station.
Yeluju, Wang Shiru, Xiao Jie, Han Zhaoyuan and others naturally came to pay their respects immediately.
Yeluju and others introduced Xiao Buda to Xiao Buda about their situation after arriving in Bianjing City.
After hearing this, Xiao Buda laughed and asked, "The Western captives have already become vassal to the Southern Dynasty, right?"
Yeluju nodded: "Yes!"
"Good!" Xiao Buda also touched his palms and said, "Your Majesty has sent Yelv Dilie to stay in Beijing, and personally led 20,000 Pishi troops to Datong Mansion in Xijing to pay a visit..."
"Since the Westerners are now vassals to the Southern Dynasty, they should naturally pay generous gifts and tribute to our dynasty!"
This was the favorite routine of the Liao Kingdom after the founding of Xixia.
The Emperor of Daliao was always the most just and treated everyone equally.
After threatening the Southern Dynasty, we will definitely beat the Xilu!
So far, Xilu has paid tribute to horses and livestock every year so that the Daliao cavalry can stay on the border.
The nobles of the Liao Kingdom were also used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Yelu Jiedu, I'd like to trouble Jiedu to report this matter to the capital as soon as possible...please ask the emperor to judge!"
Although Xilu is poor, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, right?
Yeluju cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty knows!"
Xiao Buda also looked towards the direction of the imperial city of Bianjing City.
He licked his lips and asked, "Is that new king of the Southern Dynasty really smart?"
Everyone nodded.
That's not just smart, it's simply a monster!
Xiao Buda also became curious: "How smart are you?"
"Like Wang Bo, King Luo Bin?"
These are child prodigies who became famous at a young age.
Everyone shook their heads together.
"That is?" Xiao Buda also asked.
Yeluju took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "I have only seen you in the palace a few times... and spoken to you twice..."
"But... that young gentleman gave me a very strange feeling..."
"Um?"
"The child prodigy is just smart...but he doesn't know how to use power, let alone control people's hearts..."
Yeluju said with fear, recalling those few encounters.
"If we really want to make an analogy..." He said with lingering fear, "I'm afraid, only Taizong can compare..."
"Taizong?" Xiao Buda also took a deep breath.
Taizong of Daliao...that was the founder of all the systems in Daliao today.
Officials from the south, officials from the north, candidates from the imperial examination, head to the military state...
They were all established and improved during his reign.
Yeluju looked at Xiao Buda and knew that he wanted to do something bad.
He then said: "Privy Minister, the Taizong mentioned by my subordinates is not the Taizong of my dynasty!"
Xiao Buda also took a breath of cold air and his eyes bulged greatly: "Isn't it still Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?"
Taizong of the Tang Dynasty...
That is the Heavenly Khan whom the Khitan people also recognize!
A real hero!
Yeluju and others sighed together and said: "Perhaps Wu is far inferior to Taizong of the Tang Dynasty... But that young man has grown up early, has a deep city, and is proficient in power... When Tang Taizong was ten years old, he was nothing more than this!"
This made Xiao Buda full of fear.
The story of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was something that the Khitan people grew up with.
As a self-proclaimed orthodox dynasty, the Khitans would naturally speak highly of the wise rulers of the legal system they inherited - it was only after the Khitans were canonized by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty that they gradually became a powerful force.
According to the etiquette of the Central Plains, this is the first time to receive a seal.
Therefore, the story of Tang Taizong is familiar to at least the Khitan nobles.
The more you know about Tang Taizong, the more you will be impressed by his powerful personality.
"Is this so?" Xiao Buda also sighed, and then asked: "Then why is he willing to offer three million yuan?"
Yeluju shook his head: "It's not three million Guan Jiao coins, but three million Guan Jiao coins are issued as collateral!"
"What's the difference?" Xiao Buda also asked.
Yeluju shook his head: "I don't know..."
Xiao Buda also looked at Wang Shiru: "Does anyone know what's wrong with this?"
Wang Shiru shook his head: "This is something I have never heard of..."
This was indeed something he couldn't understand, it was like magic.
It makes me dizzy just looking at it, and I can’t figure out what the other person is doing?
He only knew that everything the other party said was true, it sounded reasonable, and it seemed feasible.
I just don't understand, what's the mystery here?
I don’t even know how the Southern Dynasty turned 200,000 taels of silver and 300,000 bolts of silk into three million copper coins.
"However, the envoys of the Southern Dynasty said: As long as our dynasty can have three million copper coins per year, we should not care about these things..."
Xiao Buda also nodded: "What the ambassador said is quite right!"
As long as Daliao had money, it would be enough to buy things in the Southern Dynasties.
