Chapter 353 The emperor is amazing? I'll dance to your uncle!
After getting ready, Zheng Yunzhong, Tong Guan, and Xiao Tang led the envoys carrying credentials to visit the Liao Kingdom, as well as gifts to celebrate the birthday of Liao Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi. Although the officials who came to receive him went straight to the leather room where the Liao Emperor was staying.
Leaving the big tent.
Among the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom, Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing was the capital, and the other four capitals were all companion capitals. Since the Khitan people were nomadic people who made their homes with carriages and horses, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom visited various places, and the center of the country was not limited to the capital.
There were Nabo (Khitan language, translation of Xinggong) in various important places within the territory, and the emperor of Liao Kingdom visited various places to handle government affairs in the Nabo tent.
Xiao Tang saw that the Liao emperor's Nabo tent occupied an area of about tens of feet. He set up a stronghold with guns and felt as a cover. It was surrounded by colorful painted Taoist pillars and brocade as wall coverings. The windows, corridors and verandas were also covered with felt.
They also used yellow cloth embroidered with dragons as ground barriers.
In front of Nabo's big tent, there are many tooth tents and small felt tents. Each tent has several people, each holding a soldier. There are also several teams of soldiers guarding the Liao Emperor's skin room on all sides. However, you can see the snow blades, frost knives reflecting the cold sun, and thousands of rays of light.
When the elite cavalry patrolling the camp galloped past with banners and banners, they heard the endless sounds of horns and beards. Xiao Tang looked at the iron horses and heard the clatter of drums and horns, and suddenly he felt the sense of desolation and desolation becoming more intense.
When the Liao governor led the group to the Nabo tent, Xiao Tang heard the noise and laughter in the tent. It was not as solemn and solemn as the Song Dynasty court received the envoys. At this time, the governor had loudly reported: "Song Dynasty
Envoys Zheng Yunzhong, Tong Guan, and Xiao Tang come to see you!"
When Xiao Tang followed Tong Guan and Zheng Yunzhong into the big tent, he suddenly heard someone say: "There is really no one left in the Southern Dynasty, and they actually sent an eunuch as an envoy, hahaha!"
That sentence was directly spoken in Chinese, so that the envoys from the Song Dynasty who were present could understand it clearly. Moreover, after the man said it, more than a dozen Liao ministers burst into laughter. Xiao Tang raised his eyes to follow the words, and his eyes fell.
In the direction of the big tent, he also knew in his heart that he would openly ridicule the envoys of the Song Dynasty without any scruples in the Nabo tent. I am afraid that the only one who was the last emperor of the Liao Dynasty was Yelu Yanxi.
Xiao Tang looked at the ministers of the Liao Kingdom on both sides of the account again. He saw that more than half of the ministers had hesitant expressions on their faces, and seemed to feel inappropriate about Emperor Tianzuo's behavior of offending the envoys so easily. There were also a few civil and military officers.
However, as Emperor Tianzuo laughed uncontrollably, no one of the Liao officials present advised his frivolous emperor to pay attention to his words and deeds.
When Xiao Tang looked at Tong Guan who was named and humiliated by Emperor Tian Zuo, he saw that Tong Guan's face was as dark as water, and the anger between his eyebrows became more and more obvious. But when Tong Guan looked sideways at Xiao Tang, Xiao Tang
But he saw the corners of Tong Guan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.
Xiao Tang immediately noticed the playful expression on Tong Guan's face, and what meaning he wanted to convey to him: If the king has no way, the country will perish!
No matter what era they are in, what their status is, and what kind of relationship they have in the past, when they clearly have their own needs and have a mutually beneficial relationship, they still have to shamelessly humiliate each other.
So what kind of person would he be?
What's more, Emperor Tianzuo is still the king of a country. When a king representing a country can be so ignorant of the world, without weighing the gains and losses of interests, but only for his own momentary pleasure, he will easily and deliberately belittle the diplomatic envoys.
It can be seen that although he is the king of a country, his power is far less than that of ordinary traffickers and pawns.
Among the examples of a cowardly emperor of the same era, Song Huizong Zhao Ji was as cowardly as he was, but apart from being a bad emperor, he was always polite and courteous in his dealings with others, and he would not deliberately provoke unnecessary conflicts and conflicts in governing the world and establishing diplomatic relations.
dispute.
Of course, it was impossible for Tong Guan to know that Huizong of the Song Dynasty, who favored him, and the huge disaster that his own influence would bring to the Song Dynasty. He only saw a frivolous and rampant monarch in a big country with frequent civil strife and confrontation between the north and the south.
None of the officials of the Liao Kingdom present gave advice or advice. So Tong Guan sneered and stared at the Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi. He would only realize that this huge country that had been at odds with the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years had a foolish king.
destroy the foundation,
The reason why people at fifty steps laugh at hundred steps is because they don't realize that they and the people they are laughing at have actually made the same kind of mistakes.
Xiao Tang expressed his concern to Tong Guanzhao. After Zheng Yunzhong looked calm and congratulated Emperor Tianzuo, he heard Emperor Tianzuo say again: "Isn't there someone named Xiao Tang among the envoys from the Song Dynasty?"
......ah?
Xiao Tang was startled. He had not expected that the emperor of Liao would mention him by name. Before he could attend to pay a visit to Emperor Tianzuo, he heard Emperor Tianzuo say again: "I have heard of him.
His reputation seems to be very popular in the Song Dynasty! Haha... He is obviously our Khitan son, but he has to surrender to the Southern Dynasty. Instead of being a good wolf, he wants to be a dog for the Song people! You think it's ridiculous
Isn’t it ridiculous?”
Now instead, two rays of anger shot straight from the soles of his feet to Xiao Tang's Tianling Gai. Xiao Tang looked sideways and saw Zheng Yunzhong. Tong Guan winked at him and told him to be calm. Xiao Tang smiled bitterly and shook his head secretly. He took a deep breath.
After thinking about it in his mind, he stepped forward and said, "Xiao Tang, the envoy from the Song Dynasty, met with the Lord of Liao."
"Oh?" Emperor Tianzuo turned to look at Xiao Tang with interest. He said with a smile: "Although you, a Khitan man, have no backbone, you do have some crooked talents. I have also heard that you played in Song Dynasty.
Many of the repertoires arranged by the studio are quite to my liking."
The country needs nationalism, but extreme nationalists will only be a cancer for a country, especially when the power is concentrated in the hands of such a centralized monarch... Xiao Tang suddenly had such an idea in his heart,
But he suppressed the anger in his heart. But when he was thinking about how to deal with Emperor Tianzuo, he saw that Emperor Tianzuo had already waved his hand, leaned sideways, and said arrogantly: "Come on, since the Emperor of Song Dynasty loves
Listen to your singing and dancing, and you can also sing a song and dance for me. Come and cheer me up too!"
Anger is like kerosene, but Emperor Tian Zuo's words are like sparks thrown into Xiao Tang's suppressed anger, just like being ignited by sparks and suddenly exploding!
When anger rushed into his mind, Xiao Tang suddenly remembered that Emperor Tian Zuo's extremely rude and humiliating behavior was actually common in the Liao Dynasty, and indeed it often happened: the Nabo tent where the Liao royal family migrated eastward gave birth to a Jurchen
When the various tribes are meeting, they must also ask the tribal chiefs to dance in front of them, so as to let the aloof Khitan emperor of Liao know: I and my people really respect you.
At that time, no matter how fierce the chief of the Jurchen tribe was, he would dance gracefully in front of Emperor Tianzuo to satisfy him and make the last emperor of the Liao Dynasty think that in this way he could be sure that he could intimidate all living beings.
Jurchen tribe, but during this period there was a person who categorically rejected his rude request, and that person's name was: Wanyan Aguda.
It is precisely because Xiao Tang knew that he would eventually face the Jurchens, so he could better understand why this nation, which had very few people compared to the Khitans of the Liao Kingdom and the Han Jiaerlang of the Song Dynasty, was in the Liao Kingdom.
Such powerful power will explode under his rule.
Whether there are friends or enemies, to overturn the power that has been suppressing one's own group for generations and rise up to fight, what is needed is a kind of bloody spirit that can shed blood and sing wildly.
So... at least Xiao Tang's current mental skills and Qi-nurturing skills have not reached the level of many senior diplomats. Now Xiao Tang's idea is: Do you want me to sing and dance for you? Let me serve you? I'll go
Your uncle!!!
Xiao Tang thought about it, looked at Emperor Tianzuo with a sneer, and opened his mouth to explain.
