When Wang Zeng saw Cao Wei's statement, he no longer remained silent. He said, "Kou Ji never makes a mistake. Since he dares to speak, then the Wei Palace will definitely be able to find out something in the other courtyard outside the city."
Lu Yijian said with a gloomy face: "The officials obviously no longer care about this matter, we have to solve it from beginning to end. After confirming the evidence of the crime of the Wei Palace, we immediately arrested and imprisoned.
How to deal with it will be decided after the officials calm down.
His accomplices and subordinates will be executed immediately in accordance with the official’s decision.”
When Wang Zeng and others heard this, they all nodded.
Although Zhao Zhen had already spoken and sentenced members of the Wei royal family, Wang Zeng and others did not have the power to deal with members of the royal family.
After the affairs of the Wei Palace were settled, Wang Zeng spoke again, "Who will go to the Liao Posthouse to bring back Muchong and his son? For their father and son, we have lost two good prime ministers, and we are not willing to go to war with the Liao Kingdom. They
Why should I hide in the Liao State Posthouse to have some leisure time?
It’s time to ask the father and son to come out and go to Caishikou for a walk.”
Lu Yijian frowned and said, "Who is going?"
Cao Wei hesitated for a moment and then said, "I'll take someone for a walk."
Lu Yijian frowned and said, "With your status, if you take people to the Liao State Post House, you may cause trouble."
Cao Wei sighed and said with some resentment: "We are about to start a war, who will care about more troubles."
Lu Yijian was so shocked that she was speechless.
Wang Zeng said from the side: "We will rush 800 miles to pass the changes in Bianjing City to our post house in Shangjing City of Liao Kingdom, so that our people can escape immediately to prevent Emperor Yelu Longxu of Liao from learning about it.
After finding out about this, take action against our people."
Everyone nodded in unison.
Youdao means that if a leader opens his mouth, his legs will be broken.
Zhao Zhen opened his mouth and rudely threw everything to Wang Zeng and others. Wang Zeng and others naturally had to run around in order to implement Zhao Zhen's words.
"That kid Kou Ji really doesn't make people worry."
Wang Zeng complained when he left the palace.
The others nodded in agreement.
After leaving the palace gate, everyone parted ways.
Cao Wei went to the Privy Council, wrote a document, stamped the seal, and then dispatched three thousand troops and horses into Bianjing City.
He did not go to the third government office to ask for the general's documents. Instead, he took three thousand soldiers and horses and swarmed in front of the Liao State Post House.
Three thousand soldiers and horses surrounded the Liao State Post House.
The Liao people got wind of the news and quickly rushed out of the gate of the post house. With weapons in hand, they confronted the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty.
It's just that when the Liao people faced the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, their scalps were a little numb.
The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty obviously had no intention of fighting them hand-to-hand, so when they came, they all carried heavy ordnance.
Bed crossbows, star arrows, hundreds of tigers running together, hand crossbows, etc., each of the most powerful weapons on the battlefield were thrust directly in front of the Liao people's heads.
Even though the Liao people were brave, their scalps were numb when they saw this scene.
The Liao envoy stood in front of the post house with an angry face, stared at Cao Wei coming on horseback, and roared: "Cao Wei, what do you mean?"
Cao Wei sat on the horse and said calmly: "It's not interesting."
The Liao envoy stared and said angrily: "It's no fun. If you lead troops to besiege our Liao post house, aren't you afraid that our Liao cavalry will go south?"
Cao Wei snorted coldly, "If the Liao Kingdom is brave, just go south. If you come one, I will kill one, if you come with a pair, I will kill both."
Cao Wei seemed to have said this to the Liao people a long time ago.
It's just that when the late emperor was in power, he always valued harmony.
Tolerate the Liao people if you can, and give in if you can.
Anyone who offended the Liao people would be punished by the late emperor.
As a military general, Cao Wei, who was good at fighting, always felt very aggrieved when faced with such things.
You know, he experienced the Taizong Dynasty.
When Taizong was in power, his attitude towards the Liao people was very tough.
Not only did he secretly trap the Liao envoys several times, he also coerced the Liao envoys and helped him send private messages teasing Empress Dowager Xiao.
Although it is a bit shameless, it is tough enough.
Cao Wei likes this toughness.
Now that the Song Dynasty has risen and dared to fight against the world, Cao Wei can finally speak harshly to the Liao people without fear of the threat from the Liao people.
Seeing that Cao Wei was not threatened, the Liao envoy said angrily: "You are provoking war between Song and Liao."
Cao Wei heard what the Liao envoy said and snorted coldly: "Isn't it your Liao country that started the war first?"
The Liao envoy yelled, "That's nonsense!"
"Nonsense?"
Cao Wei sneered and said: "You Liao people, you know clearly that Mu Chong and his son are the imperial criminals who brought trouble to our Song Dynasty, and you dare to hide them in the Liao State Post House. You clearly don't take our Song Dynasty seriously.
You are so domineering in our capital city of the Song Dynasty. If you leave our capital city of the Song Dynasty, won't you turn the world upside down?
We, the Song Dynasty, are a country of etiquette, and we have always treated you, the Liao people, like distinguished guests, but when you, the Liao people, insult us, the Song Dynasty, do you really think that we, the Song Dynasty, have no one?"
"Cao Wei?!"
The Liao envoy roared and wanted to speak.
However, Cao Wei interrupted the Liao envoy forcefully, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you anymore. Get out of the way and let me go in and bring the people out. If you don't let me, then I will lead the people in and kill them."
The Liao envoy's eyes widened and he roared: "How dare you?!"
"snort!"
Cao Wei snorted coldly and shouted: "Archers, prepare!"
When the Liao envoy saw this, he was so angry that he trembled all over.
"Cao Wei, you are provoking a war, provoking a war. I, the Liao cavalry, will go south tomorrow and kill all of you Song people."
Cao Wei ignored him at all and raised his hand decisively.
When the Liao envoy saw this, his eyes widened in horror.
When I saw Cao Wei's lips moving slightly, he was about to give the order to release the arrow.
The Liao envoy surrendered.
He was willing to do it for Cao Wei just to scare him, but now he discovered that Cao Wei really dared to let people shoot arrows.
The Liao envoy trembled in humiliation and said: "Get out of the way and let them in."
The Liao people all stared in humiliation.
They were very unwilling, but they still made way.
Cao Wei snorted coldly and waved his hand. Immediately, soldiers wearing armor and holding swords rushed into the Liao Post House.
A scholar who was passing by saw this scene in detail.
He laughed wildly and said: "My Song Dynasty is so strong, General Cao is so strong... Today I will drink heavily, I will be drunk..."
Cao Wei's toughness at the entrance of the Liao State Posthouse was really encouraging.
No one from the Song Dynasty would remain indifferent when seeing this scene.
The Liao Kingdom humiliated the Song Dynasty for many years.
Now the Song Dynasty has straightened its back and is proud of itself.
How can it not make people's hearts move and be shocked by it?
Cao Wei glanced at the scholar, frowned, and cursed in a low voice, "Get out of here..."
The scholar was stunned and laughed loudly, "The general told the scholar to get out. The scholar should get out."
The scholar laughed and left.
Cao Wei stopped paying attention to him.
After the soldiers and horses sent by Cao Wei entered the Liao State Post House, it didn't take long before they escorted two people and appeared at the Liao State Post House.
Cao Wei looked up and down at the two drunken figures and snorted coldly.
"Take the person back to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment for a decision."
After ordering his soldiers, Cao Wei stared at the Liao envoy and snorted coldly: "You Liao people came to our Bianjing city as guests, and you dared to hide our imperial prisoners of the Song Dynasty. It is a heinous crime.
Since you and others carry the status of envoys on their backs, I will give the Liao Emperor a face and not embarrass you and others.
But the Liao Kingdom must give an explanation to the Song Dynasty regarding this matter.
Otherwise, we will fight until death."
"Walk!"
Cao Wei led his troops and horses, and walked away under the watchful eyes of the Liao people.
Liao Shi was so angry that his whole body trembled.
Since the Liao Dynasty came to power, when have envoys from the Liao Kingdom ever suffered such humiliation?
More importantly, the shameless Cao Wei had the nerve to ask the Liao Kingdom for an explanation even though he had led his men to bully them.
"General, control your wrath!"
A middle-aged man dressed as a civil servant whispered admonitions behind the Liao envoy.
The Liao envoy suddenly pulled out the knife from his waist and struck the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man stood there without moving at all. He just stared at the Liao envoy and said calmly: "General, don't forget the important mission entrusted to us by your Majesty."
The Liao envoy stopped his movements and said fiercely: "Of course I know, I don't need you to remind me."
The middle-aged man said calmly: "Our important task has now been completed."
The Liao envoy frowned.
The middle-aged man smiled calmly and said: "Your Majesty asked us to find a reasonable excuse for sending troops. Now that the Song people have taken the initiative to send us this excuse, our important task has been completed."
After a pause, the middle-aged man added, "I just wronged the general."
Ambassador Liao frowned and thought for a moment, and the anger on his face slowly subsided.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I thought it would take a lot of trouble, but I didn't expect it to be solved so easily. When the Xixia people sent the Mu family father and son over, I guessed that the Xixia people had bad intentions.
Originally I wanted to refuse, but the general agreed because of the generous amount of money offered.
I thought the general was being reckless, but I didn't expect that the general had anticipated the enemy's opportunity and had already seen through the matter.
The general probably didn't want to go to all the trouble to trouble the Song people and find an excuse to start a war, so he agreed to the Xixia people when they sent the Mu family and his son.
The general must have long seen the extraordinary qualities of the Mu family and his son, and knew that the Mu family and his son could help us find a reasonable excuse for war.
The general is wise and I have to obey him."
While the middle-aged man explained the whole story, he also flattered the Liao envoy.
The Liao envoy was a little dazed after being photographed, and the anger in his heart disappeared. He raised his head proudly, "That's natural... I am the envoy appointed by His Majesty, so naturally he is much smarter than others.
I, the general, have long seen through the Xixia people's treacherous plot, so I followed it."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he laughed and said: "The general's ability to see thousands of miles is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people like us."
The Liao envoy glanced at the middle-aged man and said in a neutral tone: "You southern officials are quite knowledgeable."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "The general is joking. Compared with the officials from the north, we are still inferior."
Before the Liao envoy could continue to speak, the middle-aged man said again: "Although the Xixia people helped us this time, they secretly provoked a war between the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. I am afraid they have other plans, and the general has to guard against it.
"
The Liao envoy was stunned for a moment and snorted coldly: "Little Xixia dares to scheme against me, Daliao. Sooner or later, I will make them look good. I will report this matter to Your Majesty. I believe that Your Majesty will not let Xixia go."
However, the most important thing right now is the war with the Song Dynasty.
We must end this mission as soon as possible and return to our country.
I will personally lead the troops to conquer the Song Dynasty.
I will cut off Cao Wei's head on the battlefield, and I will suffer the shame of one blood today."
The middle-aged man nodded, "You will return immediately without stopping after the New Year?"
The Liao envoy nodded.
Xixia plotted against Song and Liao, and Song Dynasty was concerned about Liao. How could Liao sit still and wait for death?
As early as the Song Dynasty occupied Hexi and annihilated two elite Xixia troops, the news spread back to the Liao Kingdom.
Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty had the idea of a war with the Song Dynasty.
The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty became stronger and began to capture cities and territories. This was not good news for the Liao Kingdom.
In the whole world, the only one who could threaten the dominance of the Liao Kingdom was the Song Dynasty.
The stronger the Song Dynasty, the greater the threat to the Liao Kingdom.
Seeing the rise of the Song Dynasty, how could Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty sit back and wait for death?
He wanted to start a war before the Song Dynasty fully rose, drag the Song Dynasty into the war, and thwart the rise of the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.
In this way, the Liao Kingdom maintained its status as the dominant country.
The Song Dynasty can still wait.
But the Liao Kingdom could not wait.
The stronger the Song Dynasty was, the greater the threat it posed to the Liao Kingdom.
Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty never wanted to see the Song Dynasty become powerful.
Therefore, when the war in Hexi reached the ears of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu decisively made up his mind to overthrow the Song Dynasty before the Song Dynasty fully rose.
It would be even better if we could take advantage of the opportunity and drive straight in.
Therefore, when sending the Liao envoy to the Song Dynasty, he gave the Liao envoy an important task.
That is to find a reasonable excuse for the war between Song and Liao.
The reason why I make excuses is to increase my chances of winning.
Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty undoubtedly understood the people of the Song Dynasty.
He knew that there was a group of war sects among the Song people, and he also knew that there was a group of peace sects among the Song people.
He also knew that most of the people in Song State were accustomed to living a comfortable life and did not like war.
Therefore, once the war between Song and Liao was started by the Song State.
The peace-promoting officials of the Song State, as well as the people who longed to continue living a comfortable life, would become the natural allies of the Liao State.
Officials from the Zhuhe faction would help him create trouble for the Song Dynasty in the court of the Song Dynasty.
Help him control the progress of Song State's march, and help him control Song State's opportunities to dispatch troops and generals.
Those people who longed for a comfortable life, after being recruited into the army, encountered the strong pressure of the Liao Dynasty, they would not have the desire to fight to the death, and would hinder the march of the Song Dynasty's troops.
All in all, the war was initiated by the Song State, which was very beneficial to Daliao.
At least it can help him increase his chances of winning by 20%.
If those officials from the peace faction were more effective, the chances of winning might be greater.
Just an excuse can help Daliao gain so many chances of victory, why wouldn't he do it?
Under the comfort of the middle-aged man, the Liao envoy extinguished his anger and entered the post house without restraint. He closed the door of the post house tightly and saw no one.
The Liao State Post House gradually returned to peace.
But Bianjing City was completely shocked because of this.
