There is no friendship between countries. Even if the current Emperor of the Song Dynasty needs to call Yelu Hongji his uncle, when he wants the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, he will never look at the gifts that the Liao Emperor always gave him before.
I didn’t hesitate even a little bit to get the new year’s money.
Since it was Yelu Hongji who took the initiative to seek peace, if the Song Dynasty did not know how to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to profit, then all the ministers in the court should be killed.
The Khitan, the overlord of the north, was no longer in glory, and Yelu Hongji's ambitions were dissipated with one disastrous defeat after another.
He could see that it was not too difficult for Yun Zheng to defeat Juyong Pass. Once Yun Zheng sent the army to Gubeikou to cut off the connection between Nanjing Road and Zhongjing Road, he would have an army of millions in this small area.
Here, competing with the two most famous generals in the world is a disaster.
Wu Zangyu Pang took away countless Liao people, including the family members of his lieutenant generals. After these tribal soldiers learned that their families had suffered misfortune, their first thought was to go back immediately.
I have never snatched my loved ones back from the hands of fraudsters.
After talking with Wen Yanbo in detail, Yun Zheng found out that in order to cover up the fact that he was defeated at Tongtou Pass, Yelu Yixin deliberately sent people to spread the news that Wu Zang was plundering people on Zhongjing Road.
This is fatal to the stability of a million-strong army.
The feeling of being stabbed in the back by his own people again and again made Yelu Hongji completely crazy. He would rather return Yanzhou to the Song State, but also get enough supplies from the Song State, and then return to the north.
Go to Wuzang Youpang to settle accounts, go to Yelvxin to settle accounts, and go to Yelvyixin to settle accounts.
In fact, he doesn't hate Yun Zheng and Di Qing for forcing him to this point. Since they are enemies, he can figure it out no matter what I do.
, what he couldn't figure out was the betrayal of Yelu Xin and Yelu Yixin.
In his opinion, the Liao Kingdom is still a powerful empire. As long as everyone works together to repel Yunzheng, repel Di Qing, and intimidate the unsuspecting Pang from marching eastward, it is a matter of course.
Therefore, the main culprits who caused the Liao Kingdom to fall into such a situation were Yelu Xin and Yelu Yixin. If these two people were not killed, he thought that he would not even be able to close his eyes to death.
For Song people, things that can be solved with money are nothing, especially things that can be solved with treasures, so there is no need for materials.
The treasures Yunzheng snatched back from the south are still collecting dust in the palace treasury. The treasures donated by maritime merchants from the south are being admired by rats in the treasury of the Song Dynasty. This is wrong, it is a waste of natural resources.
However, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue simply disagreed with putting such a large number of treasures on the market. In that case, the luxury goods market in the Song Dynasty would be completely destroyed, which would be very detrimental to the country. To be precise, it would be detrimental to the officials.
Very disadvantageous.
The consumers of luxury goods in the Song Dynasty were mainly officials. They could not just watch the treasures they bought at a huge price become worthless after the state put a large number of treasures on the market.
The reason why treasures are precious lies in their rarity. When the daughter of a commoner's family gets married, she has a huge pearl hairpin stuck in her head. What do you want the daughter of an official's family to put on her head when she gets married?
The best thing to do is that those treasures don’t exist!
But no one has the courage or the determination to destroy the treasures in the treasure house.
So when Yelu Hongji proposed to use the palace's treasures in exchange for Yanzhou, everyone in the civil and military dynasties was delighted.
When the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom visited the royal treasury, he was deeply shocked by the treasure trove of the Song Kingdom. The coral tree more than one foot high, pearls the size of eggs, and traveling beads that were randomly discarded in the box, were reflected in the light.
The shining night pearls, the agates and tortoiseshells piled in the corners like stones, all made the eyes of the Liao envoy become bloodshot.
The value of these treasures made him directly ignore the existence of gold and silver in the treasure house. He subconsciously believed that gold and silver did not appear in the treasure house because they were not valuable enough.
He didn't know that the gold, silver, and hard currencies of the Song Dynasty were now stored in the Song Dynasty Bank. They had long been converted into Jiaozi according to their value and circulated in the market of the Song Dynasty.
He didn't know that in the Song Dynasty, gold, silver, and copper coins had the strongest purchasing power, followed by Jiaozi. As for treasures, occasionally one or two would be fetched high prices by the gradually wealthy merchant class of the Song Dynasty. If they appeared
Too much, and the laws of the market will show their power and turn treasures into trash overnight.
What's more, how could the vested interests of the Song Dynasty allow the Liao people to sell these treasures in the Song Dynasty? In the end, all they could take away were the treasures that they could not eat or drink if they were hungry or thirsty.
Those things are suitable for burial with the dead, but they are definitely not suitable for leaving to a living person who needs food and drink.
After the Song Dynasty easily solved the matter in Yanzhou, all that was left was to drive Yun Zheng away. For this reason, the old emperor did not hesitate to attack his wife. After weighing the pros and cons, the officials decided to kill Yun Zheng.
The most mindless decision in the world.
Not to mention that Yun Zheng would lead a rebellion with his subordinates who were loyal to him, just the historians' verbal and written criticism made them have no intention of killing Yun Zheng.
The biggest danger is that once Yunzheng causes chaos, the current good situation of the Song Dynasty will be completely destroyed.
The case of Wu Zixu is right in front of us. Even if all the Yun family members are killed, once Yun Zheng wants to use the power of the enemy to take revenge, he will definitely do something even more vicious than Wu Zixu. This is what Yun Zheng's husband Lu Qingyuan gave him
Answer.
After extensively soliciting opinions from the royal family, aristocratic families, nobles, officials and scholars, they believed that after putting Yunzheng on the altar, he would be sent overseas to become a god.
Anyway, Yun Zheng himself had long said that he was going to the sea, and his younger brother was already looking for territory for the Yun family on the sea. This was a happy event for everyone. Yun Zheng's achievements had reached the peak, so he wanted to go to the sea to find the misty land.
Overseas Fairyland, what a wonderful ending this is!
Those who should go go, and those who should stay stay. It is great that the Song Dynasty still has an honest and reliable commander like Di Qing to intimidate the three armies. The superior wisdom shines from Yun Zheng's proud eyes.
The emperor and officials of the Song Dynasty had seen enough. No one liked a person looking at him like a dog.
Great changes have taken place in the Song Dynasty over the years. Tracing back to the roots, the roots are not in Yunzheng, but in his younger brother. The scholar-officials have discovered many bad signs, such as merchants who were bold enough to advocate their own opinions.
reached the point.
The Cui family, a huge business family, finally fell apart after Cui Da mysteriously disappeared. So the scholar-bureaucrats began to regain their lost territory, and under the emperor's banner, they firmly controlled the branches of the Cui family in the hands of the emperor. The most important thing was
The method was to give the Cui family the names of three royal merchants, and under this conspiracy of two peaches killing three people.
The greedy branch of the Cui family was completely defeated.
On the distant grasslands of western Yunnan, a grand house suddenly caught fire. The herdsmen fled from the big house in panic. The only ones who did not escape were the two pampered masters.
Han Lin watched helplessly as someone killed King Xin and his officials, watched as the muscular men in black set fire to the house, and watched as they fled into the wilderness and put on the clothes of the Song Dynasty army.
Continue patrolling.
After fulfilling his promise, Han Lin packed his bags and embarked on his long lonely road alone...
The rejoicing crowd in Tokyo stayed up all night to celebrate their victory. The skilled craftsmen of the Baoying Bureau were working day and night to make the bras and crowns of His Highness King Yan and Princess Yan. The skilled Weaver Niang of the Weaving Bureau was under the personal supervision of the Empress Dowager.
, rushing to make dragon robes and phoenix clothes stitch by stitch...
All of this has something to do with Yun Zheng. At this time, Yun Zheng was resting on Lan Lan's plump chest and looking at the blue sky on the grassland in a daze.
When everyone wants him to leave, he finds that this hope turns into real pressure.
"When are we going to the sea?" Lan Lan knew that Yun Zheng hated this question very much, but he still asked it. (To be continued)
