The Spring Festival is here, so naturally it’s still the same old routine.
Early in the morning, I followed Zhao Ji to make a show of offering sacrifices to heaven, and then there was a state banquet to receive envoys from foreign countries.
Liao envoy Xiao Baoxian glared at the Jurchens standing opposite. Xiao Baoxian now regarded them as rebellious traitors who were about to be annihilated by His Majesty's army. He was extremely dissatisfied with Song Ting's acceptance of the Jurchen envoy.
In Xiao Baoxian's view, this is like Fang La sending people to Beijing, and Daliao treating Fang La's people as if they were receiving envoys from other countries.
"How can these Jurchen bandits and traitors board the Golden Palace and go on envoys to the Song Dynasty like us? This is too ridiculous!" Xiao Baoxian rebuked harshly, not taking the monarch of the Song Dynasty seriously.
Zhao Ji's face was a little gloomy. Logically speaking, he was indeed in the wrong.
Cai You took the first step, pointed at Xiao Baoxian and said: "How dare you be so disrespectful to our emperor."
Xiao Baoxian remained undaunted and said angrily: "If the Song Dynasty does not expel these traitors, the Liao cavalry will seek justice for the Khitans."
The monarchs and ministers in the palace were still afraid of the Khitan at this moment. After all, the Song Dynasty had been suppressed by the Khitan for a hundred years and had almost no victories.
Cai You, who was the first to take the lead, stood in front of the palace, feeling a bit like he was riding a tiger and looking towards his own father for help.
Old God Cai Jing was there, but he didn't seem to see him and had no intention of coming out to help him.
My son is too impetuous. If this is a good opportunity to flatter him, will it be your turn?
The person in this palace who has better legs and feet than you, maybe eighty if not a hundred. Looking at Yang Lin, he really looks like he is watching the fun.
Cai Jing shook his head secretly in his heart. He should have a son like Yang Wenyuan. Fortunately, one of his sons has already become his disciple. He hopes that he can learn some tact and support the glory of the Cai family in the future.
How did he know that his third son Cai Sui was being educated by Yang Lin to become a saint and be successful soon?
Seeing that the atmosphere had reached the extreme point of embarrassment, Yang Lin stepped forward lightly and said: "Envoys from the Liao Dynasty, don't panic, our Song Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and we always pay attention to treating people with courtesy. After the Jurchens established the country, they sent envoys to the Song Dynasty. We originally
There is no reason to exclude them. You know, the Khitans also treated Xixia in the same way back then. It has only been so long ago. Is it possible that no one in the whole Khitan country remembers it?"
Cai Jing's face moved slightly. What did Yang Wenyuan mean? He just praised him for his smoothness, why did he come out to seek death like this?
If the Khitan army goes south, won't he be held responsible for this crime and never be able to take it off again?
Even Zhao Ji felt a little scared after feeling slightly refreshed.
Yang Lin is very clear in his heart. Soon your 700,000-strong army will suffer a humiliating defeat under the leadership of Emperor Tian Zuo.
In the history of later generations, 20,000 Jurchens will kill you to a rout. What's more, now that the Jurchens have gained the support of the Bohai people, they may not have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in their hands.
Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Feng prepared for the whole winter first, and it was impossible to temporarily abandon the Jurchens and go south to attack the Song Dynasty.
After they tasted the Jurchen's cruelty and barbarism in the Northeast, let alone attacking the Song Dynasty, they should also consider whether they can save their own Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.
When Xiao Baoxian saw this hateful Han official appearing again, he was furious. It was him who had caused him to falsely pass on information, causing the Khitan to sit back and watch Xixia be destroyed.
I didn't expect that this guy would be promoted so quickly. Just standing behind Cai Jing, he was already the third most powerful figure in the Song Dynasty.
"Speaking of Xixia, I would like to congratulate Yang Shaozai for making such a contribution to the Song Dynasty. We Khitan people remember it very clearly."
Yang Lin laughed loudly, ignoring the threat in Xiao Baoxian's words, and replied: "To attack and destroy Xixia, it is my emperor's sage. The soldiers must use their lives. I just did my best. But your country understands the righteousness and will not interfere."
, we in the Song Dynasty are very satisfied. We in the Song Dynasty will also sit on the sidelines of this dispute between Liao and Jin, and will never take advantage of the Liao Emperor's personal expedition to go to the north to conquer Youyan and regain our homeland."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Ji almost fell from his seat. Everyone looked at Yang Lin in surprise, wondering why he was so crazy that he threatened the Liao people so brazenly.
Xiao Baoxian was obviously not used to it either. The Song Dynasty, which had always been weak, had become so tough. Could it be that they also planned to conquer Yan?
Among all the monarchs and ministers in the palace, only Liang Shicheng and others had the strangest expressions. They were already convinced that Yang Lin would definitely compete for his victory in conquering Yan.
It's like a little beauty who has been hired by himself but has not yet been married. She is always remembered by others, and you can imagine the resentment in her heart. Liang Shicheng secretly gritted his teeth and thought carefully in his heart, how could he get the money from him?
No credit. After much deliberation, the only thing we need to be careful about is the Western Army.
The Jurchens, who were originally angry and wanted to fight with the Liao envoys, saw that the Song people were so protective, but they folded their arms and watched. Wanyan Wu Qimai, who later became the second emperor of the Jin Dynasty, was
Those who have seen Yelu Yanxi and the important officials of the Liao Dynasty should carefully observe the differences between the monarchs and ministers of the Liao and Song Dynasties.
From the bottom of his heart, Yang Lin must be more disgusted with these Jurchen Tatars wearing human skins, but judging from the current situation, there is a dispute over the land of Youyan between the Liao and Song Dynasties, and a war will begin sooner or later, but the Song and Jin Dynasties are now
But there was no bad blood.
What Yang Lin said made Xiao Baoxian furious and left with the Liao envoy without even returning to the hotel.
After the state banquet, it was a seven-day holiday that Song officials loved. Zhao Ji didn't bother to enjoy the long vacation. He called Yang Lin into the palace and asked: "My dear, why did you anger the Liao people? If they go south, we need to know about our Song army."
But they are all waiting in the southwest to attack Tubo."
Yang Lin chuckled, most of his power came from Taoism.
He promoted Zhao Ji to the position of the Immortal Emperor of Shenxiao Palace, and built Genyue Longlived Mountain, which was the most prosperous source of his holy family.
Yang Lin squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I and several Taoist priests are watching the sky at night. There are big stars falling in the north. The Liao people will lose this battle. By then, the Liao will be weak and the Jin will be strong, so it is our turn to conquer the Song Dynasty.
Take back Yanyun and regain your homeland."
Zhao Ji was convinced, because there were several precedents. Whether it was the civil unrest in Jiangnan or the recovery of Dali, it was all within Yang Aiqing's plan.
He was the Great Emperor of Shenxiao, and Yang Aiqing was the Shichen, who came down to earth specifically to assist him. He was so sure, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
If You Yan was taken back, Zhao Ji's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but start imagining what the scene would be like at that time.
When descendants of future generations offer sacrifices to Emperor Taizong, they must also know that their own merits come first.
After so many years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, no one could compare to me in terms of civil and military skills.
Seeing Zhao Ji lost in imagination again, Yang Lin chuckled and bowed to leave——
