Chapter 0192 Liao people who turn their faces faster than a book
"I'm afraid Liu E will use the topic to his advantage..."
Kou Ji whispered.
Kou Zhun rolled his eyes, "She also has to have that time."
Kou Ji looked confused.
Kou Zhun explained: "After the Ti Xing Si was deposed, the Six Ministries were busy grabbing power and frequently clashed with those in the Ti Xing Si. The Liucao from various yamen also had conflicts with the Ti Xing Si.
Now she is busy dealing with these conflicts. She has no time to care about anything else.
Nowadays, I am responsible for receiving foreign envoys."
Kou Ji nodded slowly when he heard this, and asked, "How does grandfather plan to deal with this matter?"
Kou Zhun said calmly: "No matter! Don't ask! Ignore it!"
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said hesitantly: "What if the Liao people threaten to send troops southward?"
Kou Zhun said in a neutral tone: "Since the Tanyuan Alliance, the Liao people have repeatedly clamored to go south, but they have not come down yet."
Kou Ji wondered: "The Liao people were at their peak, why didn't they go south?"
Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said angrily: "Do you think that the Battle of Tanyuan was in vain? Although the Battle of Tanyuan ended with me, the Song Dynasty, presenting annual coins to the Liao people. But in the process,
The Liao people suffered a lot of losses, and they were also severely damaged by the Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty can fight head-on with the Liao people, but is willing to call them brothers and even give them money.
They are so full that they come down to fight with me, Da Song?
They may not be able to reap so many benefits from fighting a war.
But if we don’t fight, we can get benefits every year, so why fight?
You were just the one who attacked Yelu Angkor, the fourth prince of the Liao Kingdom, but you did not attack the fourth prince of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Angkor.
As long as Yelu Longxu is not confused, there is no need to confront me head-on with the Song Dynasty over a Liao bodyguard."
Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.
Kou Zhun's heart skipped a beat when he saw the expression on Kou Ji's face.
"You don't want to fight the Liao people again, do you? I advise you to stay in the house and don't go out. If you fight the Liao people once, I can pretend to be deaf and dumb to help you fool them. If you go to fight again,
Before the Liao people start to attack, those officials in the court who are close to the Liao people will hold on to your pigtails."
Hearing this, Kou Ji smiled dryly, "I don't have that idea..."
Kou Zhun didn't believe what Kou Ji said, so he waved his hand and said, "Go down..."
Kou Ji nodded and was pushed out of the yard where Kou Zhun was.
When he walked to the door, Kou Zhun suddenly spoke and warned again: "These days, you just stay in the house and don't go out."
Kou Ji then responded.
"knew……"
The servant pushed Kou Ji towards the Sijun Garden.
When he reached the entrance of Sijunyuan, the servant suddenly stopped.
Kou Ji was stunned and asked: "Why don't you push it?"
The servant said in a low voice: "Young Master, someone is looking for you and wants you to wait here for a while."
Kou Ji was stunned, turned around suddenly, stared at the servant, and said in a deep voice: "Who is looking for me? Whose are you?"
The servant lowered his head and stepped aside without speaking.
After a while.
An old man with hunched waist and gray hair appeared in front of Kou Ji.
"My slave sends greetings to Mr. Kou."
The old man walked up to Kou Ji and bowed.
Kou Ji frowned and whispered: "Uncle Fu?"
The old man was none other than Uncle Fu, the man who pulled swill from Kou's house.
Kou Ji stared at Uncle Fu and said in a deep voice: "Chen Lin is looking for me?"
Uncle Fu shook his head, took out a letter from his sleeve, and then took out a jade bottle and handed it to Kou Ji.
After he handed the things to Kou Ji, he bowed and said: "My master knows that you are sick, so he asked us slaves to bring you a letter and a bottle of good medicine."
"Official?"
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and whispered.
He put away the jade bottle, opened the letter in his hand, and saw Zhao Zhen's tender white body.
In the letter, Zhao Zhen asked Kou Ji what illness he had, why he had not gone to court in recent days, and so on.
He also shared with Kou Ji some interesting things that happened in the palace in recent days.
He wanted to visit Kou Ji in the palace, but Liu E refused, so he could only write to Kou Ji.
At the end of the letter, Zhao Zhen told Kou Ji very seriously that today the Liao envoys came to the court and wanted to vent their anger on Kou Ji's head. He rejected the Liao envoys righteously.
Seeing the words is like seeing the face.
Through Zhao Zhen's words, Kou Ji seems to have seen the scene of Zhao Zhen in the Chui Gong Hall, facing the Liao people's request for his head to vent their anger, bulging his face and angrily rejecting the Liao people.
Kou Ji put away the letter and told Uncle Fu: "Push me in. I want to reply to the letter."
Uncle Fu nodded, walked behind the bus where Kou Ji was sitting, and pushed Kou Ji into the Sijun Garden.
Kou Ji originally wanted to embarrass this old guy, but he didn't expect that this old guy would be so strong if he didn't look at Jingfeng.
As expected, no one in the palace is normal.
Back to Sijunyuan.
Kou Ji took a pen and paper and began to reply to Zhao Zhen.
He gave a general account of his illness, and wrote down the scene in which he met the Liao people today, as well as the beatings he received from the Liao people.
At the end of the letter, Kou Ji also included some personal items.
Specifically, I wrote some analysis of the situation of the Song, Xixia, Liao, Qingtang, and four other forces.
He didn't care whether Zhao Zhen could understand it, but he just wanted Zhao Zhen to see it.
Even if Zhao Zhen doesn't understand it now, he will understand it in the future.
After writing the letter, Kou Ji handed it to Uncle Fu.
Uncle Fu took the letter and was about to leave, but was stopped by Kou Ji.
"etc……"
As soon as Uncle Fu walked to the door, he heard Kou Ji calling and turned around quickly.
"Master Kou, do you have any other instructions?"
Kou Ji frowned and said, "That servant just now is one of yours, right? Get him away as soon as possible, otherwise I can't guarantee whether he will be able to see the sun tomorrow.
If there are any letters in the future, you can come in and send them to me directly, there is no need to find someone to intervene in the middle."
Hearing this, Uncle Fu nodded and said, "I understand..."
Then he left Sijunyuan without saying another word.
After Uncle Fu left, Kou Ji sat in the study and did not move.
I had a conversation with Kou Zhun today, which helped him learn more about the four forces of Qingtang, Xixia, Song, and Liao.
He found that historical books could only be used as a reference and could not become a creed that he could rely on.
History books only describe the process of most things in a few sentences, and then give a result.
Many hidden important details that contributed to this result have been buried outside the history books.
Even some important figures have only a few words left in the history books.
For example, Li Deming.
Everyone knows that Li Yuanhao was the founding emperor of Xixia.
However, few people have delved into the fact that the reason why Li Yuanhao had the capital to become emperor was all saved during the reign of his father, Li Deming.
Li Deming took charge of Xixia after the death of his father Li Jiqian.
He was able to continuously gain titles and expand the territory of Xixia between the two great powers of the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty. There must be a lot of planning behind it between the Song and Liao Dynasties.
However, there are very few mentions of this aspect in history books.
Another example is An Ziluo.
In order to help Jiao Si Luo stabilize the Qingtang regime, An Ziluo traveled between the Song and Liao Dynasties. This was not mentioned in the history books, but it happened in front of Kou Ji.
Kou Ji was certain that An Ziluo's traveling between Song and Liao had nothing to do with him.
Although he influenced the historical process of the Song Dynasty, he did not influence the historical process of Qingtang.
Everything he has done so far is only aimed at the internal affairs of the Song Dynasty. Although it has an impact on the outside, the impact is very small, and it is not enough to determine the external political tendency.
"Don't rely too much on history books..."
Kou Ji sighed casually.
In the evening, Liu Heng sent a letter to Kou Ji, telling Kou Ji that his father knew that he had caused trouble and had grounded him. He was afraid that he would not be able to see Kou Ji for the next few days. However, regarding his beating of the Liao people,
Liu Mei did not make any judgment or reprimand him, she simply banned his feet.
Cao Yi's letter was not delivered until late at night.
He was also grounded, but also not judged or reprimanded.
The next few days.
Kou Ji stayed in the Garden of the Four Lords and did not go out. He was calculating the situation in all directions to see if he could find any opportunity to help the Song Dynasty make plans.
The Liao people kept clamoring in the court, threatening to kill Kou Ji's head, otherwise the Liao people would march south in large numbers next spring.
When some courtiers who were close to the Liao people heard this, they jumped up and scolded Kou Ji. Some even wrote a letter asking for Kou Ji to be killed to calm the anger of the Liao people.
Kou Zhun ignored the matter.
Liu E had a deep talk with Kou Zhun about this matter.
Asked Kou Zhun if he wanted to give the Liao people some mercy.
Kou Zhun decisively refused.
Liu E simply ignored the matter and handed it over to Kou Zhun.
They just hit a Liao man, not a Liao prince, so the problem is not big.
If the Liao people really used this as an excuse to go south.
That has nothing to do with Kou Ji. In the final analysis, it is also caused by the ambition of the Liao people.
Even if there was no such thing as Kou Ji beating up the Liao people, the Liao people would still find other excuses.
This matter became more and more serious. The fourth prince of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Angkor, sent people back to the Liao Kingdom three times to report the matter to the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.
However, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's reply shocked everyone.
Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty, instead of pursuing the matter of Kou Ji's beating of the Liao people, sent an edict summoning Kou Ji to go to the Liao Kingdom.
He threatened to meet Kou Ji, a warrior who could defeat the royal guards of the Liao Kingdom.
Some officials who were clamoring to deal with Kou Ji to vent their anger on the Liao people were all dumbfounded.
After learning about this, Kou Ji also looked confused.
He waited until Kou Zhun came back from the palace, and then asked people to push him to Kou Zhun's study to meet Kou Zhun.
As soon as he entered the door and the screen retreated, Kou Ji asked impatiently: "Grandpa, what does Yelu Longxu mean? I don't understand."
Kou Zhun glanced at him and said, "Don't say you don't understand, I can't understand it either."
Kou Ji pondered: "Did he want to trick me into going to Liao Kingdom and then kill me?"
Kou Zhun shook his head and said, "Yelu Longxu is also a great leader. Since he has invited you with an imperial edict, he will not harm your life. Not only will he not harm you, he will also treat you with courtesy."
Kou Ji frowned and said, "But isn't this too abnormal?"
Kou Zhun nodded slowly and said: "It's indeed abnormal... I want to come back and ask you to see if you know the meaning of Yelu Longxu's actions. Now it seems that you don't know either."
Kou Ji thought for a long time and asked: "What special reaction has the Liao envoy had recently?"
Kou Zhun was stunned when he heard this, and said thoughtfully: "When you said that, I remembered it. The envoys of the Liao Kingdom no longer seem to mention the issue of additional coins recently, and they frequently show their goodwill to the court.
Today, I went out of Donghuamen and bumped into Yelu Angkor on Royal Street.
He asked me if the official family ever got married..."
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said in astonishment: "Is this... you want to get married?"
Kou Zhun nodded and said: "I also think that the Liao people want to get married."
Kou Ji pondered: "The Liao people are uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. Not only do they not press hard on our Song Dynasty, but they blindly show their kindness. It's not like the Liao people's style at all. What are they trying to do?"
Kou Zhun shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't know either. I asked other people in the court, but they couldn't figure it out either."
The grandfather and grandson fell into silence for an instant.
After being silent for a long time, Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji and said, "We have to take another look to see what the Liao people are planning..."
Kou Ji nodded slowly and said, "Since I can't figure it out, I can only take another look."
After a pause, he continued: "The Liao people want to get married. What is your attitude? What is the Queen Mother's attitude?"
Kou Zhun said quietly: "What kind of attitude can I have? Of course I agree."
The corner of Kou Ji's mouth twitched and he whispered: "Will the officials be willing?"
Kou Zhun rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think you can understand the love between men and women at the age of an official?"
Kou Ji was about to speak again, but Kou Zhun glared at him and said: "I know that you have a good relationship with the official family and want to protect the official family. But have you ever thought that it was the Emperor Liao who sent his daughter to the official family, not the official family?
Send your daughter to the Emperor of Liao.
They didn’t say that they would cede land as a betrothal gift. In the final analysis, we still have the advantage, so there’s nothing to refuse.”
Kou Ji added: "During the great funeral of the late emperor, how did the official family get married?"
Kou Zhun said calmly: "Let's settle the marriage first, and then we can talk about the marriage after the mourning period of the late emperor is over."
Kou Zhun said all this, and Kou Ji also knew that it was a foregone conclusion that Zhao Zhen would marry the daughter of the Liao Emperor.
He silently mourned for Zhao Zhen in his heart, and quickly changed the subject, "The Liao Emperor must have a plan for spending such a huge amount of money. We must find out what he is planning as soon as possible to avoid being plotted by him."
Kou Zhun nodded with a deep look.
Kou Ji accompanied Kou Zhun to guess for a while, but he still couldn't guess the reason.
He chatted with Kou Zhun for a long time before leaving Kou Zhun's study.
On the way back to Sijun Garden, Kou Ji thought to himself.
He was speculating on Yelu Longxu's intention.
Just passed the Moon Gate of Sijun Garden.
Kou Ji felt a touch of coldness on his face and was slightly startled.
The servant pushing Koji said: "Young Master, it's snowing..."
Kou Ji raised his head, looked at the scattered, tiny snowflakes, and said, "Yes...it's snowing..."
By the time Kou Ji returned to his bedroom from the Moon Gate of Sijun Garden, heavy snow like goose feathers had already fallen from the sky.
Kou Ji asked his servant to open the window and stared at the falling snow outside the window.
It snows for most of the day.
It didn't stop until nightfall.
A layer of snow fell in Sijun Garden, and it was as thick as five inches high.
Just when Kou Ji finished admiring the snow scenery and was about to go to sleep.
Kou Zhong braved the snow and entered the Sijun Garden, "Young Master, someone is here to visit..."
Kou Ji looked confused, "Who will come to visit me at this time?"
