Chapter 520 The Liao Kingdom wants to marry a princess?
The next morning, Xing Shu took Yeluju and rushed outside Jing'an Square.
At this time, it was just dawning, and there was still thick morning fog in Bianjing City.
I thought it would be deserted here at this time.
Unexpectedly, outside Jing'an Square, there were countless cars and horses, which were tightly blocked.
Although the two came on horseback, for safety reasons, Xing Shu decided to take Yeluju to take a detour to Huihefang and visit Dawa Temple (today's Baiyi Pavilion site in Kaifeng City, commonly known as the 'Ancient Guanyin Temple').
But as a result, when we arrived at Dawa Temple, it was still crowded.
Moreover, Xing Shu also spotted many officials wearing official uniforms.
If you look closely, you will see that they are all officials and chiefs from various government offices in Beijing.
Xing Shu was taken aback, and then he figured it out.
Everyone wants to go to Kaifeng Fufu School.
But in the past, this quota belonged to officials above the imperial court in Beijing.
It’s not like others can’t get in.
The premise is - his talent and learning are unparalleled in the world, and his writing can alarm ghosts and gods.
For example, brothers Su Shi and Su Che were able to study at Kaifeng Prefecture School because their articles were so well written.
But how many Su Shi and Su Che are there in this world?
Moreover, Ersu may not always be a stepping stone based on talent and learning.
So, here comes the problem.
How many people are there in Bianjing City who, although they have money, are not qualified to send their children to Kaifeng Prefecture?
Now, the restrictions have been lifted.
As long as you buy a house in Jing'anfang, it is possible to raise a child who can study in Kaifeng Fufu School.
What will these people do?
The answer is obvious - even if you want to sell iron, you still have to buy a house in Jing'anfang!
Xing Shu looked at the crowds of people and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Even Yeluju was frightened by this formation.
"Are so many people going to see it?" he sighed.
He felt relieved immediately.
For something that so many people are looking for, the price is certainly not cheap.
…
When Xingshu and Yeluju, escorted by his entourage, finally arrived at Jing'anfang.
The roads around Jing'anfang are already crowded with people.
Even the Royal Street, which could have accommodated two Taiping cars in parallel, is now packed with people.
The officials of Kaifeng Mansion and the imperial guards from the left and right army patrol departments were running around to maintain order.
With the help of his entourage, Xing Shu spent a lot of effort to squeeze in front of the crowd.
I finally saw what Jing’anfang looks like now.
In the past, the dirty shops along the street have now been demolished.
A tall wall about one foot high stood in front of people.
The wall beneath the green bricks and tiles is carved with brightly colored patterns.
Of course, none of this matters!
The important thing is that the door at the entrance of Jing'anfang is almost comparable to the door of Zaizhi's house.
The first moment Xing Shu saw it, his head started buzzing.
Because, this door... it's too flamboyant!
It was an extremely heavy gate, and the door looked almost comparable to the gates of ordinary state cities.
Not only that, the surface of the door is too smooth.
It doesn't look like it could be polished by craftsmen at all.
The vermilion paint is applied all over the door, making it look luxurious!
The stone steps in front of the door are made of expensive bluestone slabs. The gaps between each bluestone slab seem to be filled with something, making them closely connected and no gaps can be seen.
In front of the door, there are two extremely eye-catching huge stone lions for the town house. The stone lions are almost six feet high, making people look intimidating.
Xing Shu swallowed his saliva.
"This...this..." He felt that he could not evaluate the things he was watching.
Want to compliment me?
These things are not in line with the aesthetics of scholar-bureaucrats at all.
It has no cultural connotation and no artistic conception at all.
Even a rich man in the countryside would not be able to do such a thing as long as he has a little sense of aesthetics.
But……
Xing Shu had to admit that the things he saw were really special!
He was even attracted for a moment.
Yeluju, who was beside Xingshu, could no longer take his eyes away.
Just looking at the appearance of the door, he was already lost.
This flamboyant, luxurious and extravagant appearance completely hit his aesthetic!
Now he even wanted to call a painter to draw everything in front of him and then send it back to Nanjing immediately.
Yeluju knew that his king Yeluhongji would definitely like it!
According to this method, and then enlarged one or two times, it will be the standard for each gate of Daliao's future palace!
So, Yeluju turned his head, came close to Xing Shu's ear, and said firmly: "Bachelor, please tell the bachelor's friends..."
"Their favor will be decided by a certain gang!"
If his friends give him such respect, Yeluju will naturally not disappoint his friends.
He had known that Yeluju would agree.
After all, what he asked Yeluju to do was nothing more than a simple effort for Yeluju.
"But..." Yeluju said softly: "The bachelor should do a certain favor..."
"Um?"
"To be honest, maester, my Majesty, the Emperor, has ordered me to go on a mission to your country. In addition to congratulating your country's Empress Dowager on the Holy Day..."
"There is still a mission!"
Xing Shu listened quietly.
"His Majesty, the Emperor of our country, has a beloved daughter at his knees, named Nanxian..."
"The princess is born in the eighth year of Dakang in our country..."
"If it is possible, His Majesty the Emperor of our country is willing to marry the princess to the emperor of your country to marry the Song, Liao, Qin, and Jin..."
Hearing this, Xing Shu raised his head and looked at Yeluju like a fool.
"Brother Liu should know that this is absolutely impossible!" Xing Shu refused directly.
"Back then, during the Qingli Festival, our country would rather increase the currency than agree to it, and it is even less likely to agree to it now!"
When Qingli increased the currency, Fu Bi was negotiating with the Liao Kingdom.
Among the conditions proposed by the Liao Kingdom was the clause that 'the Emperor of the Song Dynasty will accept the daughter of the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty as his concubine'.
At that time, the Liao people even promised that if the Song Dynasty agreed, then the increase in coins could be negotiated or even waived.
However, the Song Dynasty firmly refused.
I would rather pay more than agree to this condition of the Liao people.
Yeluju nodded: "Of course I know."
After so many years of exchanges between Song and Liao, both countries have figured out each other's bottom line.
He naturally knew that it was impossible for the Southern Dynasty and the public to agree to Daliao's request.
This is not only a historical lesson - Yuan Baoju of the Western Wei Dynasty once married Princess Rouran.
As a result, the princess was domineering and relied on Rouran's power to force Emperor Wen of the Western Wei Dynasty to give the Yuanbao Tor to the death of Empress Yuan.
What if the married princess of the Liao Kingdom imitates her?
There is also a deeper real political consideration - although the Khitan people keep saying that they want to marry a princess, they are willing to become concubines and concubines just for the sake of good relations between the two countries.
But who knows?
Moreover, it was always difficult for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to have heirs!
Zhenmiao only had one heir, Renmiao, but Yingmiao had four sons, but they were all born and raised outside the palace.
There were five older brothers in the current Guan family, but all of them died young.
Once the Khitan princess gave birth to a prince, he grew up healthy.
For the Song Dynasty, this was a more terrifying trouble than the Pu discussion back then.
Yeluju also understood.
He chuckled and said: "Of course I know... Therefore, I don't ask for your country's consent. I just ask that our Emperor's request, bachelors or friends of bachelors, just tell His Majesty the Emperor of your country in private."
!"
His mission is just that.
Whether it succeeds or fails depends entirely on God’s will!
His monarch also knew this - Yelu Hongji had long since lost the ability to have children.
Therefore, the so-called princess was actually chosen by Yelu Hongji from the clan.
It happened that there was a little girl in the clan of the Sixth Academy who was in Nanjing with her parents at that time.
When Yelu Hongji saw the little girl, who was born with pink and jade designs and was very cute, he specially summoned her. He found that although the little girl was only over three years old, she was very articulate and well-behaved, so he adopted her as his adopted daughter.
Nanchao agreed.
She was entered into the jade certificate and raised as her own daughter.
It doesn't matter if the Southern Dynasty disagrees.
In the future, you can send it as a party item or to block a marriage.
After hearing this, Xing Shu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "If so, I can try..."
Just a message in private.
However, Xing Shu felt that the Liao people were wishful thinking!
Even if the current officials agree.
The two palaces would not agree.
The two palaces agreed, but the Song Dynasty and the people would not agree.
Even if the government and the opposition reluctantly agree, the noble military ministers will not agree!
