Chapter 353: Entering the Enemy's Camp with One Sword (1)
Wei Minglangyu at least said something right, this is an era that belongs to young people.
Chen Ke stood on horseback outside the Xixia camp. On his left and right were seventy-two royal martial arts students in full armor. On all sides were thousands of vicious, dirty and smelly party cavalry, surrounding them tightly.
Caught in a tight siege, Chen Ke looked into the distance calmly, his waist straight and straight. The martial arts students behind him had different moods, but there was no trace of fear on their faces.
Before Chen Ke left Beijing, he first gathered the students at the martial arts academy and stated that he was going to the front line to negotiate with Xixia and planned to take some students with him. Of course, everything was done voluntarily and never forced.
The martial arts academy has a special military report, and the martial arts students are very aware of the situation at the border. Many are frightened, but some also enthusiastically sign up. Chen Ke then ordered the applicants to sign a military order and vowed never to lose the prestige of the Han family, so he brought
They set off.
In the end, seventy-two martial arts students were able to make the trip. In order to train them, Chen Ke even left his bodyguards who were always by his side in Qingzhou.
This move naturally aroused fierce opposition from Chen Yi and others, but Chen Ke's reason was also very good. If the Xixia people intend to do harm to me, bringing dozens of you with them will just be buried with them. So it is better to put the task of protecting myself,
Leave it to these students to let them feel their trust and build up the sense of responsibility and honor that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty most lacked.
The two sides faced off for a long time, and the sound of trumpets was heard from the Xixia camp. The party's cavalry immediately separated, and dozens of black-armored cavalry were seen approaching, surrounded by a high-ranking official dressed in luxurious Han Chinese clothing.
"These black-armored cavalry are the famous Iron Kites." In the face of a powerful enemy, Chen Ke took the time to introduce the enemy's ace troops to the students: "In normal times, they serve as bodyguards and honor guards for big shots, but in wartime they are the strongest.
Assault force." He lowered his voice and said, "Sooner or later, you will meet on the battlefield..."
When the students heard this, they couldn't help but take a closer look at the party cavalry who were wearing black armor, had fierce faces, and were holding maces. Sure enough, they saw that they were murderous and not like ordinary people.
"Okay, stop looking," Chen Ke said calmly: "Hold our flag higher!"
Zhang Zhen, who was holding the flag, quickly raised his arms high. A golden dragon flag with a red background was waved in front of Xixia Camp.
Seeing this flag, the young Han official reined in his horse and stopped. He laughed and said, "Who is coming?"
Chen Ke looked at him and said nothing. Chen Jianzhi, who was wearing a white horse and a white robe beside him, answered loudly: "My lord's surname is Chen. He is an imperial envoy of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. I have come here to question your master!"
"Uh..." The Han official thought he heard wrongly, coughed dryly and said: "... I want to ask my master?"
"That's right." Chen Jianzhi said coldly: "Why don't you quickly ask your master to come out and listen to the order!"
Although the Song Dynasty was not the most powerful country in terms of military power in East Asia, it was definitely the center of culture and economy. Although the Liao Kingdom and Xixia Kingdom both created their own characters and languages, even the Khitan and Dangxiang people rarely used them.
All are based on Chinese characters and Chinese language.
Therefore, most of the Dangxiang cavalry present understood what Chen Jianzhi said, some looked angry, some looked contemptuous, and some even laughed.
But the Han official couldn't laugh no matter what. He was Liang Yimi who had praised Haikou in front of Li Liangzuo. When he saw the Song envoy's attitude, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. But with a trace of luck, he thought to himself: "Is it possible?"
It's a bluff, I'll try him again." Then he said with a straight face: "How outrageous, I, the Emperor of Xixia, are equal to you, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, how dare you, a little envoy, be so disrespectful? Believe it or not, I will kill you on my horse.
?!"
Chen Ke looked at him with a strange look and said, "Did I come to the wrong place? Isn't this the camp of the Xixia King?"
"Of course." Liang Yimi said solemnly.
"Then I don't understand." Chen Ke smiled lightly and said, "Why did another Xixia emperor appear?"
"I, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, am naturally the Emperor of Xixia." Liang Yi buried his face with an expression of 'you are an idiot'.
"Dare I ask Gao's name?" Chen Ke said in a different topic.
"The surname is Liang and the given name is Yimi, and he is the Prime Minister of Daxia." Liang Yimi replied loudly. The so-called Prime Minister is the personal butler of the Xixia Emperor. Although he is not as prominent as the Prime Minister, he is the most trusted figure of the Xia Lord.
"You are an incompetent family minister." Chen Ke shook his head and suddenly said sternly: "Do you want the Xixia clan to be immortalized and the king and grandson suffer disaster?!"
"How dare you slander me?" Upon hearing these words, the party's cavalrymen burst into laughter, and Liang Yimi said angrily: "How dare you curse me, the Emperor of Great Xia!"
"This is not a curse from me, but an oath from the oath taken by the Xixia King at that time in the fourth year of Qingli." Chen Ke said unmoved: "I remember it said this...'Reconciliation between the two parties.
, and after seven years, I vowed that from now on, I would like to hide the alliance government... I will accept the imperial court from the city of my country, and the Kaolan, Sickle, Nan'an, Taiping hometown and other border areas where the Ban and Han people live, beg the painting as the boundary, in
He listens to build a castle. He is given two hundred and fifty-five thousand silver, silk, silk, and tea every year. He begs as a regular amount, and I have nothing to do with him anymore.
If the righteousness is lost, or the hearts of the ministers change, the ancestral sacrifice will not last forever, and the descendants will be in trouble!'"
The party members were all stunned. They had never heard of this oath. They were all stunned when they heard Chen Ke continue: "I replied to the emperor's edict: 'I am here to control the four seas, covering thousands of miles, and the land of Xixia
, the world thinks of you. Now I accept my loyalty and repent of my fault, which is manifested in my oath. I promise the sun and the moon, the ghosts and gods, and the descendants. There will be no change. I am very grateful to you for your sincere reply. I read and swear,
Everything is as promised.'
"In December, Zhang Zijian, a member of the Shangshu Temple, was sent to serve as a ceremonial envoy. He served as an official at the east end, and Zhang Shiyuan was waiting for him at the pavilion gate. He was also given a pair of clothes, a gold belt, a silver saddle and a horse, and 20,000 taels of silver.
20,000 pieces of silk and 30,000 jins of tea. The book is written on bamboo slips in lacquer, and the book is written in the world's happy brocade. The gold-coated silver seal is two inches square, and the text is "Xia Guozhu Seal". The brocade ribbon is painted with gold and silver. The book is a ritual object.
They were all covered with silver, gold, and purple embroidery. They agreed to be called ministers and were honored by Zhengshuo. They changed the imperial edict given to them into imperial edicts without naming them, and promised to appoint their own officials."
"The oath form, edict, and exchanges just mentioned below are recorded by the officials of both countries. Your country also has a copy of the oath form and the original edict." After Chen Ke finished speaking, he glanced at Liang Yi, who was stunned and said: "Is it true that the Prime Minister of the family has
Never heard of it?"
"This, this..." Liang Yimi secretly regretted it. Ordinary party members didn't know that as a close minister of the emperor, he naturally had access to some secrets. He had an impression of Yuan Hao's submission to the Song Dynasty, but that
It was just a diplomatic strategy of sacrificing appearance in exchange for lizi. But at home, Yuan Haoke had always regarded himself as the emperor, and in order to maintain his high image, anyone who revealed the truth about his submission to the Song Dynasty to the people would slander the emperor.
, even treason.
Liang Yi buried himself for more than 20 years and was kept in the dark. Moreover, he only learned about this section from the Hanlin official because he wanted to write a letter to the Song Dynasty on behalf of the young emperor.
In fact, part of the reason why the young emperor attacked the Song Dynasty this time was to get rid of the shadow of the Song Dynasty and become equal to the emperor of the Song Dynasty like the emperor of Liao Dynasty.
That's why Liang Yimi emphasized Li Liangzuo's status as emperor as soon as they met.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ke brought out the fake article about Li Liangzuo's father. A son can't deny his father, right? Even if he wants to deny it, he must first declare the original oath to be invalid... But this is tantamount to admitting it.
, there is such an oath. It shows that before this, the heads of the Xixia Kingdom were ministers of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Xixia was in the midst of four wars, and had huge neighboring countries like Liao and Song. Any failure might result in the loss of all the family property. The more precarious the people were, the more sensitive they were.
Therefore, the Dangxiang people were extremely proud and extremely inferior. Once they knew that the heroes of the Xixia Dynasty, who were admired by all the people, had always regarded themselves as courtiers of the Song Dynasty, they gained superficial peace. Li Yuanhao's reputation was bound to be greatly damaged, and then Li Yuanhao's reputation was greatly damaged.
Liang Zuo's already unstable throne will also be shaken.
But he didn't dare to deny it categorically, because if he couldn't protect it, the other party would have evidence. Liang Yimi could only say firmly: "No matter what, it's wrong for you, a minister, to ask our king to come out to greet you!"
"No, no." Chen Ke shook his head and said: "It is clearly written in the oath. When the envoy arrives in Beijing, he will sell it on the post trade and have a banquet in the palace. When the envoy arrives in his country, he will use the guest etiquette when meeting him. If he observes the rules, he will treat him as a guest.
I will see you in court." He said seriously: "Why are you still standing here? Go and report to the king of your family quickly, don't let him become the rebellious son of a rebellious minister!"
"This..." Liang Yi was sweating profusely, so he had no choice but to lower his head and lower his voice: "Please take a step to speak."
Chen Ke looked at him and paused intentionally for a moment. When Liang Yi was about to hold back his internal injuries, he said: "I have come all the way from afar, and it is so dusty. It damages my image as an envoy of the Song Dynasty, and it is also disrespectful to the master of your country."
."
"Yes." After all, Liang Yimi was used to serving others, so he understood immediately and said: "Quickly, please go to the camp, take a shower and change clothes!"
"Thank you very much..." Chen Kegong bowed his hand and led a group of students to follow Tie Yaozi into the Xixia camp.
As soon as he left, Liang Yi buried his eyes coldly across the thousands of party officers and soldiers guarding the door, and said word by word: "Forget everything you heard today, or I will kill your whole family!"
"Yes..." Liang Yimi was the executioner of the Zang clan. What he said was extremely threatening, and all the officers and soldiers were immediately frightened.
After entering the camp, there were no outsiders in the room. The students breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chen Ke with a wry smile: "Sir, you are so talented and bold. Our hearts are in our throats, for fear that the Xixia people will be overly excited.
Do something drastic?"
Chen Ke shook his head and said with a smile: "That's because you don't understand the nation of Dangxiang."...)
