In the Daqing Hall, there were quite a few people from the Khitan mission. Yang Lin took a quick look and saw that there were at least dozens of people wearing official uniforms.
Yelu Dashi was also generous enough, and sent over almost all of Emperor Tian Zuo's pleasure sets, as well as some rare birds and animals, beautiful singers and dancers, and jewelry and treasures.
If Zhao Ji were in office, he would probably be beaming with joy, and Zhao Si would also be a little moved.
Yang Lin watched with cold eyes, Yelu Dashi really didn't treat him as an outsider, he sent some useless extravagant things, he asked for bows, arrows, armor, and horses for reinforcements, and even asked Yao Pingzhong to lead the troops.
The Liao envoy was Xiao Yixue, who was staying in Xijing. Xijing was Yunzhou. In the current Khitan court, this official was quite a big one.
He bowed slightly, spoke fluent Chinese, and said loudly: "Song and Liao have made alliances twice and have been brotherly countries for hundreds of years. The Jurchens are the common enemy of Liao and Song. If we have the help of the great Song Dynasty, we will be able to defend against the enemy."
Outside of Yunzhou, the borders of the Song Dynasty will also be protected from the ferocious Jurchen raids. I hope His Majesty the Song Emperor and all ministers will lend a helping hand and defeat the Jurchens in the future. We Khitan will definitely pay back double the amount."
Yang Lin winked, Gao Bing behind him understood the idea, and immediately stepped out and said: "We should not interfere in your internal affairs, but the relationship between the former Liao Emperor and the Song Dynasty is too deep, and we have formed a close relationship with both this officer and our Yang Shaozai.
We have developed a profound friendship. More importantly, we have been on good terms with our Emperor of the Song Dynasty for a long time. If your country can send the former Liao Emperor to the Song Dynasty and we will support him, we will provide you with all the materials you ask for."
Xiao Yixue's face was sullen, and he suppressed his displeasure and said, "I'm afraid there is no such rule."
Gao Bing is a famous person in Khitan, and his name can be said to be known to everyone. Many knowledgeable people in Khitan are gnashing their teeth at him. This guy went to the capital and encouraged a group of young people to assassinate the Jin envoy and provoke the Liao Dynasty in advance.
When the decisive battle of Jin Dynasty came to an end, he instigated Emperor Tianzuo to flee to Yunzhou Prefecture before fighting, and handed over the capital to others.
However, Yelu Yanxi, the deposed emperor, had great trust in him and believed that this was a life-saving straw. It can be said that he obeyed his words.
Now that he had made such an excessive request, Xiao Yixue would have exploded in court if he hadn't asked for something from someone else.
By bringing the deposed emperor, you are holding a poisonous thorn in your hand, and you can invade the Khitan at any time under the pretext of attacking the rebels.
Gao Bing chuckled lightly, still looking as calm as before in Khitan, Xiao Yi and Xue's teeth were itching with anger. Unexpectedly, this guy was so prosperous in the Song Dynasty that he actually replaced his father at such a young age.
Being light means being handsome.
Gao Bing did not argue with him, and with a seemingly friendly smile on his face, he said very politely: "If your country does not agree to this small request, I am afraid it will be difficult to transport the supplies. Even if we agree, the people of the Song Dynasty will not agree to it."
Wouldn't want to."
After he finished speaking, he stopped talking nonsense to him and retreated directly to his seat, holding the wat board in his hand and looking down at his boots.
Xiao Yixue was helpless. Zhao Si at the top did not understand the relationship, but he also knew the benefits of asking the Liao Emperor to come. He chuckled lightly and said: "Since the Emperor is involved, I also agree with Gao Aiqing's words."
A few days ago, he had just climbed up the Duiyu Tower. Although the emperor brother could not go downstairs, he still had no worries about food and clothing. Moreover, there were dozens of concubines who volunteered to accompany him. His life could not be said to be good, but it was definitely not rumored that he had been killed.
.
Zhao Si felt a little at peace in his heart, no longer had nightmares at night, and felt much relieved. In addition, the newly replaced palace maids were more respectful than the other, especially the palace maid from Goryeo, who had a gentle and gentle temperament, which greatly impressed him.
satisfy.
These people had never met the emperor at all, so there were no rumors. As soon as the emperor expressed his stance, Yang Lin, who was about to go out, was so happy that he calmly took his feet back.
Xiao Yixue glanced at him secretly and knew that this must be this person's idea. Wanyan Lou's family was eyeing him in Beigui Mountain, and his Tatars might invade Yunzhou at any time. When he came, Yelu Dashi gave him full power, as long as he
The Song Dynasty is willing to continue to help, aiding itself like it aided Yelu Yanxi, and can agree to any conditions other than ceding land.
But this condition is too harsh. Fortunately, the deposed emperor is in Yunzhou. Even if it is given, Yunzhou has to agree. He can still go back and has room for maneuver.
It's better to agree, and if the new king doesn't agree, then he will go back on his word, and this war will not be delayed.
"In this case, please ask the Song Dynasty to send troops as soon as possible. We will go back today to prepare to escort the late emperor to the Song Dynasty."
Still compromising, Yang Lin curled up the corners of his mouth, and he hid a smile well. Yelu Dashi, he had a hunch that if he defeated Jurchen and this person was still there, there would be a battle sooner or later.
It is impossible for him to give up Yunzhou, and he is bound to win it. The entire Song Dynasty cannot live without this northern gate.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, the Khitan envoys left in a hurry. They were already in dire straits at home and could not tolerate any delay.
Many items on this mission's gift list are still on the way, and these people have already arrived on horseback. Next, they have to gallop back to Yunzhou to discuss with the new emperor and prepare to accept the materials from the Song Dynasty.
Xiao Yixue thought to himself that the new emperor was definitely better than the deposed emperor. With his courage, he would definitely agree to this condition.
After the dynasty was over, Yang Lin and Gao Bing were chatting and laughing. Gao Bing said with a smile: "Today there will be a banquet at the Qin Hui. We will have a drink at the Fan Tower. Can the Young Master have time to show his respect?"
"Go, why don't you go? It's been a long time since we last met. Since I came back from the south last time, I've been too lazy to go out. I just want to take this opportunity to stretch my muscles."
Liu Qingshui patted his shoulder gently behind him.
"Da Lang, if you have free time today, how about having a banquet at my house?"
Yang Lin's eyes lit up and he quickly said with a smile: "It's no coincidence, I just have free time today. Let's go for a walk. Let's ride in a carriage together."
Gao Bing watched in astonishment as they walked away arm in arm, stroking his chin and analyzing: "Why does Shaozai's expression look familiar?"
The sun is shining brightly, the spring scenery is bright, and everything is covered with flowers.
Since the Liu Mansion took the eldest lady back, it has been completely changed by her. In the past, only Liu Qingshui and his son were at home, and the facilities were inevitably a bit outdated.
The little Concubine Liu had a lot of private money. Yang Lin fed Zhao Ji and his concubines by himself, and gave gifts and bribes every year.
Everyone else was like this, but when it came to Xiao Guifei Liu, she was extra attentive and generous.
Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Liu Qingshui was still a little embarrassed, secretly cursing her sister in her heart. Who should she be good with? She had to find her brother, and it would be difficult to do it if she was caught in the middle.
In other words, if you put a younger brother like me on someone else's side and try it on others, you will already be beaten by mandarin ducks.
