Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Fengxian, the pair of monarchs and ministers, are still waiting for the spring to bloom so that they can conquer the country in person and wipe out the Jurchens in one fell swoop.
The news of the rebellion in the Bohai Sea made Emperor Tianzuo furious, and he called Xiao Fengxian to the palace and cursed him bloody.
Xiao Fengxian rolled his eyes and came up with a way to divert the disaster. He suggested that Yelu Yanxi kill all the Bohai Jurchens in Daliao to avoid becoming internal collaborators in the future.
It was nonsense for the prime minister of a great country to say such things, but they were completely in line with Yelu Yanxi's temper.
At the emperor's order, countless Liao soldiers and horses searched for the Jurchens and Bohai people in their own city, and beheaded them regardless of gender, age or child.
Killing them without guilt just to prevent them from becoming internal agents is simply an unheard-of act of violence.
From this point of view, the Liao and Jin Dynasties are really of the same strain. No one can laugh at the same raccoon dog, but the other is cruel and inhumane.
At the beginning, everyone conducted strict inspections and tried not to accidentally kill other tribesmen.
Later, the already corrupt local officials used this as an excuse to demand bribes, and those who refused to pay were treated as Jurchens.
There were so many ethnic groups in the Khitan country that everyone was panicked. Many people fled to Huanglong Mansion overnight and defected to the Kingdom of Jin.
Wanyan Agu issued an order that all those who came to seek refuge would be given preferential treatment. The Jurchens had already killed almost all of Huanglong Mansion. It would be a great thing for the newly established Jin Kingdom to fill in these common people who hated the Khitans.
Greatly alleviated the sequelae of excessive killing.
Even the borders of the Song Dynasty accepted many Liao people who fled south. Zongze and Tong Guan accepted these people and recruited soldiers and horses from them.
Before the imperial conquest had even begun, the Liao people started a huge chaos themselves, which greatly damaged their vitality. The news spread to Bianliang, and Yang Lin almost vomited blood.
So much so that when he looked at Zhao Ji now, he was much more pleasing to the eye. At least he was better than that good-for-nothing neighbor.
Zhao Ji was sitting in the Genyue Assembly Hall and was chatting with Yang Jian. He felt a gaze and turned around and asked, "Yang Aiqing, what are you staring at me for?"
Yang Lin was stunned, walked out of Khitan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "I am holding my breath and taking a closer look. Your Majesty's aura of happiness and longevity has greatly increased, and you can see everything in sight when you look sideways!"
Zhao Ji believed it very much and said happily: "This is all the result of Yang Aiqing Gen Yue Shoushan."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Ji suddenly chuckled and said, "I heard from the Queen that Yang Aiqing has been hired by the Zheng Mansion and will be able to marry the daughter of the Zheng family in the coming year. Is this happening?"
"Thanks to your Majesty's inquiry, Wei Chen's father has had his horoscope read by someone. He is a perfect match and will get married next year."
Zhao Ji laughed and said happily: "In this way, don't we become brothers-in-law?"
Yang Lin smiled and said: "I don't dare to marry the emperor."
Zhao Ji shook his head and said: "If we follow the rules of the people, we will be relatives soon. Come on, please invite the Queen."
His face was rosy and he was in high spirits, and he seemed to find this moment very interesting.
After a while, a group of palace ladies came to the palace surrounded by Zheng. Yang Lin and Yang Jian quickly got up to pay homage.
Zhao Ji pointed at Yang Lin and said, "Queen, Yang Aiqing will be your Zheng Mansion's son-in-law soon. As the New Year is approaching, hasn't he sent you some thoughts?"
Empress Zheng gave him a sideways glance, which was very charming, but she immediately returned to normal and said with a chuckle: "Thanks to Your Majesty for taking the decision, otherwise I would not have complained about my injustice. Future brother-in-law, what do you think?"
Yang Lin cursed in his heart, before I got married, the couple joined forces to extort money.
Fortunately, he was here to give gifts today and said with a smile: "Is Wei Chen a rude person? Your Majesty, my queen, please wait a moment, Wei Chen will be back soon."
He turned around and went out, saying hello, and the waiters from the police factory immediately moved a few boxes into the hall happily.
The first six people, each holding a wooden plate in his hand, came in and walked around. Yang Lin said: "These are six plates of East China Sea pearls."
Then a group of people filed in, each holding a precious hat. Yang Lin introduced one by one: "This is a phoenix crown with coiled pearls, a comb ring with northern pearl crown flowers, a comb ring with seven treasure crown flowers, and a brocade pin.
Golden curtain."
"In these boxes are gifts from me to my sister and brother-in-law. The official family is rich and elegant, and their expenses are better than mine. There is nothing to give. There are only five golden pheasants, eight horses, ten stags, and ten pieces of pure silver.
Ten thousand taels, twenty thousand cars of pure gold.”
Zhao Ji was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Is it even true that I have a share?"
When Yang Lin called out his brother-in-law, Yang Jian and Empress Zheng were startled. They both looked at the official, but saw that he was smiling and obviously not angry.
He liked to talk about relatives with others when he had nothing to do. In later history, Cai Sui married Emperor Maode, and Zhao Ji became acquainted with Cai Jing's family and often visited her.
After giving the gifts, Yang Lin and Yang Jian walked out of the hall side by side. A cold wind blew. Yang Lin tightened his cloak and said with a smile: "Brother, you have a strong body and you wear less than me."
Yang Jian laughed and scolded: "Just make fun of our family. How can we compare with young people like you when we are old?"
A few servants on the roadside were bent over shoveling the snow. Yang Lin lowered his voice and said: "Brother, the Khitan has a strong army. It is said that they will go on a personal expedition after the new year. We haven't even started fighting yet, and everyone in the world knows about it.
I'm afraid that the Jurchens won't be prepared. In my opinion, the Khitan is in danger again this time. We also have to make plans early. If the Khitan falls, we can't let the credit for restoring Youyan fall to Liang Shicheng."
Yang Jian was shocked and confused. The servants around him were all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Yang Lin was always very cautious, so why did he make this mistake?
Looking closely at Yang Lin, his expression was as usual. He gently tugged Yang Lin's sleeve, but the latter also had no reaction.
Yang Jian understood immediately. He rolled his eyes and curled his lips and said, "Brother Yang, don't be idle. Don't discuss court affairs in the palace. We can stay and talk in the main hall."
Yang Lin then looked annoyed and walked out of the palace with a gloomy expression without saying a word.
The few waiters who were shoveling the snow raised their heads, with excitement on their faces. This time the credit fell from the sky.
When they got to the carriage, Yang Jian smiled and said: "You just revealed this news in the palace, how do you want to plot our secrets?"
Yang Lin sighed and said: "We are going to fight Tubo in the beginning of the spring, and there is also a fierce battle between the Jurchens and the Khitan. I am afraid that Liang Shicheng will forget about the Northern Expedition. Let him shine and help me gather people and horses. When I attack Yan in the future, I can use my hands.
Na."
Yang Jian shook his head and said: "You are overthinking this. When Liang Shicheng and you dealt with him, he had already become successful. You didn't see his methods when he was fighting for power and profit in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How could such a person let us pave the way and build bridges?"
