Chapter 367 The plan to restore the country? Personal ambition?
The six horses were galloping in the snow for about half an hour. Sai Hongfu trembled up and down as she got off the mount, and her delicate body would rub against Xiao Tang behind her from time to time, which made her very uncomfortable.
When Sai Hongfu quietly looked behind him with the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Tang looking back, as if observing whether there was anyone following him.
Sai Hongfu felt a burst of disappointment for no reason, and then sneered: "My brothers are also loyal to the world. Since I have told you that the previous grudges have been wiped out, I will never secretly follow you to harm your life again!" "
"Since we have made a promise, of course I can trust it." Xiao Tang calmed down, but he suddenly pulled the reins, turned over and dismounted, and said: "Since we are out of danger, we should also zoom in now. The head of the family returns."
When Sai Hongfu saw Xiao Tang walking away so cleanly, she was startled, and then said: "Wait a minute!"
Xiao Tang turned around and said with a smile: "I wonder if the master has any other advice?"
Sai Hongfu frowned and asked: "You have really never had any quarrel with us northern horse thieves. Are you really not at all curious about why I led my people to ambush you?"
Xiao Tang suddenly smiled and said: "I once heard that the head of the family is the Gao family from the right of the Bohai Kingdom. You set up an ambush to attack me. It has nothing to do with the grudges in the world, but to help Gao Yongchang, who is lurking in the left-behind department in Tokyo, to revolt and restore the country. Bar?"
After hearing this, Sai Hongfu's expression immediately changed. Gao Yongchang's attempt to murder officials and rebel against the Liao Dynasty was a major crime against the Nine Tribes. Only some of the Bohai tribe who were determined to restore the country knew about it. As for the two brothers Yan Youyi and Yan Youxin, they were originally Manu was born in the Wugu enemy army in Shangjingdao, Liao Dynasty. He was later rescued by Sai Hongfu's father and became a confidant. After Sai Hongfu's father passed away, he became Sai Hongfu's confidant and was responsible for the rebellion against Liao. They don't care whether their future is dangerous or not.
However, how would Xiao Tang, an envoy from the Song Dynasty, know about this major treason that only his close relatives and confidants knew about!?
"How did you know about this!?" Sai Hongfu's eyes suddenly flashed with vigilance, and she asked Xiao Tang in a cold voice.
Xiao Tang's reaction when he saw Sai Hongfu also confirmed his suspicion. Gao Yongchang did everything he could to disrupt the situation. But even if he had exhausted all his tricks, did he ever expect that he would only be three years old? After four months of being addicted to the emperor, his head was chopped off by Wanyan Agu, who he relied on, and he used it as a place to make wedding clothes for others, so that all the fifty states in Tokyo were returned to the Jurchens?
Thinking of this, Xiao Tang sighed and said: "If you want others to know nothing, you have to do it yourself. If I really want to expose Gao Yongchang's rebellion, I would have reported it to the Liao court before I arrived at Liaoyang Mansion. , how can I allow him to come and have my ideas? I didn’t want to pay attention to him because he couldn’t stir up any trouble. For hundreds of years in the Liao and Song Dynasties, countless delusional people thought that they could take advantage of the unstable situation. I can split the earth, become a king, and achieve great hegemony, but I don’t know that in the eyes of future generations, I am nothing more than a big joke!”
When Sai Hongfu heard Xiao Tang ridiculing the Bohai people's plan to restore the country, she immediately raised her eyebrows and shouted to Xiao Tang: "I also heard that you are from the Khitan ethnic group, so naturally you want to help the Liao people who share the same blood with you. The country speaks! Two hundred years ago, the Liao Kingdom destroyed our motherland, and we Bohai survivors were at odds with the Liao Kingdom. Now that the Liao Kingdom’s emperor is old and immoral, what’s wrong with us using our true abilities to resist tyranny and regain our homeland?”
Xiao Tang shook his head and said: "You also said that the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed two hundred years ago. During the Five Dynasties period in the Central Plains, a country was destroyed in ten years and an emperor was destroyed in five years. Who are the survivors of the previous dynasty today?
Are you clamoring for restoration? There were many Goguryeo ethnic groups in Bohae back then, and the territory mostly overlapped with Goguryeo. So should those Goguryeo survivors also rebel against Bohae?
What's more, as far as I know, there are many officials of the Bohai ethnic group in the Liao Dynasty, and most of the Bohai people are content with the status quo and nothing but rebellion. Although a person should be proud of his own nation, he can be exploited by some treacherous people with arrogant ambitions.
That’s too confusing!”
Sai Hongfu sneered when she heard this, and she added: "As a Khitan, you were an official favored by the Song Emperor in the Southern Dynasties. Naturally, you are used to serving your master with peace of mind! Not only do we want to continue my
Bohai State Zuo must also provide relief to the victims of tyranny all over the world, overthrow the harmful world of the Liao Dynasty, and rebuild a court where the common people will not starve and freeze! Like you who have been high-ranking officials for a long time, where can you go?
Do you know our long-cherished wish!?"
Xiao Tang snorted without concealing it and said: "You are too naive, you are really wishful thinking!"
Sai Hongfu's pretty eyes widened, but before she could speak, Xiao Tang had already said: "Since you have been in the world for a long time, you should have some knowledge. Although the Liao Kingdom has become more and more confused in the past few decades,
But you have also seen many rebellious relatives of the emperor, ministers in the court and central government, and local tyrants who raised the banner of rebellion in an attempt to establish themselves as emperors. In addition to fighting many battles and killing many people, has this country ever been peaceful?
How many people talk about overthrowing tyranny and upholding justice for heaven, but apart from destroying their own homes and lands, have they really allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment?"
Xiao Tang never believed that the revolt of the working people because they could not bear the oppression of tyranny was a treasonous act. However, in Xiao Tang's view, Gao Yongchang of the Liao Kingdom conspired to rebel, and he was involved in the Water Margin Wang Qing, Tian Hu and other green forest bandits.
There is really no difference between the ceding of territory and self-reliance. The only difference is that Gao Yongchang, a Bohai native, also used to incite national sentiment to satisfy his ambition to become emperor.
The founding monarchs of the past dynasties who were able to change dynasties or dominate one area were outstanding in terms of their magnanimity and understanding of the people's hearts. However, it is obvious that Gao Yongchang is not such a person. He is just for satisfaction.
His own ambitions only made the already turbulent country even more turbulent, and the already miserable people of Li even more miserable.
Sai Hongfu's chest heaved with anger, and she shouted loudly: "You don't have to argue with me! Now we are not the only people in the Bohai Sea who are unwilling to be oppressed by the tyranny of the Liao Kingdom! The emperor of this country
Why can the Yelv clan of Khitan do it, but we Bohai people can’t do it even though it is our homeland!?”
Xiao Tang and Sai Hongfu were also arguing for a while, but the more they spoke, the more anxious they became. He also knew that Sai Hongfu could not listen to any advice, so he sighed and said: "You said this is your homeland.
You said you want to regain the homeland of Bohai, okay. Let me ask you, if you help Gao Yongchang really become the master of the world, do you think he can benefit the people and sit firmly on his throne?"
Sai Hongfu was slightly startled. She had been taught by her deceased father since she was a child. Whether she was a descendant of the royal family or a noble family named Gao, she was determined to regain her homeland of Bohai as her own duty. However, regarding the sudden question of Xiao Tang,
Only then did she realize that she had no answer at all.
