After a long discussion, Li Jie finally made the decision. The tribal leaders of Xiazhou Dangxiang remained in their native land and cooperated with the officials of the Song Dynasty to maintain stability.
With their cooperation, management will undoubtedly be more convenient.
Of course, the military forces within Dangxiang must be disbanded.
It would definitely be more difficult to reduce military power in territories under Han rule.
However, Xiazhou Dangxiang is a nomadic people and does not have many standing military forces.
The vast majority of nomadic tribes are all soldiers. The adult men of the tribe who herd horses in their spare time become soldiers with swords and arrows on their backs during war.
In case of war, temporary recruitment is the norm.
In fact, Li Jie also had another intention in making this arrangement.
He wasn't worried at all about rebellion or anything like that.
When the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were stationed, the Dangxiang people were unable to fight against the Song army with only three melons and two dates.
Rebellion?
If someone rebels, they can kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!
…
…
…
A week later.
Dading Mansion.
The young emperor Yelu Zongzhen accepted the unreasonable request of the Song Dynasty without any expression.
However, no one knows what kind of rage is hidden under his calm appearance!
He hates it!
Hate the person who gave birth to him!
If it weren't for his biological mother Xiao Yujin, how could Daliao end up where it is today?
If it weren't for Xiao Yujin, how could the Song army invade Dading Mansion without any reason?
Although the Song Dynasty also attacked Xijing Road before, when attacking that area, the Song Dynasty sent troops in the name of recovering the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.
Although this reason is a bit far-fetched.
Because the Song Dynasty inherited the Later Zhou Dynasty, and as early as the Later Jin Dynasty, the land of Youyun was included in the territory of the Liao Kingdom.
But the situation was stronger than the people. Even if the Song Dynasty suspected that it was far-fetched, the Liao Kingdom could only endure it with tears.
But attacking Xijing and attacking Zhongjing are completely different in nature.
Zhongjing Road was under the rule of the Khitans from beginning to end. Even if we go back a hundred years, this place was still the territory of their nomadic people.
It has nothing to do with the Central Plains Dynasty.
According to traditional Confucian concepts, the Song Dynasty's attack on Zhongjing Road was a disrespectful move.
How could the Song Dynasty, which believed in ethics and ethics, attack Daliao itself for no reason?
As a result, Xiao Yujin gave Song Dynasty an excellent excuse.
Now, the Song Dynasty asked the Liao Kingdom for the most elite area in the Liao Kingdom in the name of compensation for military expenses.
Although Yelu Zongzhen was young, he was not prepared to bargain.
Because, it's not necessary.
All military expenditures are just excuses.
The real purpose of the Song Dynasty was to expand the territory!
If you look at the wording in the certificate of credence, you can understand that the Song Dynasty wanted to change its title of emperor to king, and at the same time, it also wanted to surrender to the Song Dynasty.
a long time.
After adjusting his mood, Yelu Zongzhen slowly stood up and then saluted Yan Shu.
"Back to the angel, the little king can agree to the conditions of going to the country."
"However, there is one hope that angels can make it happen."
"Xiao Wang hopes that his mother can stay with Xiao Wang, so that it will be convenient for Xiao Wang to fulfill his filial piety."
What Yelu Zongzhen said was sincere and sincere, and anyone listening to it would feel that he was a filial son.
However, that was not what he thought in his heart.
Since the fall of Liao Dynasty, Xiao Yujin must bear at least half of the responsibility!
If Xiao Yujin hadn't fought for power with him, he would not have been captured even if he was defeated.
Therefore, Xiao Yujin must stay in Khitan territory, and he must fulfill his filial piety.
Hearing this, Yan Shu looked troubled.
Seeing this scene, Yelu Zongzhen's heart suddenly became cold.
What happened next was just as he expected. Yan Shu sighed slightly and said embarrassedly.
"Sorry, it is His Majesty's wish to welcome Queen Xiao to the Song Dynasty. I have no right to comment."
"Forehead."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yelv Zongzhen suddenly had an extremely ridiculous idea in his mind.
Could it be that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty wanted to be his stepfather?
this……
Suddenly, Yelv Zong really remembered a rumor from ancient times.
Taizong of the Song Dynasty seemed to have robbed the queen of Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Yelu Zongzhen had always treated this matter as a rumor.
But now it seems.
Maybe, it's actually somewhat possible.
The current Emperor of the Song Dynasty is the grandson of Taizong, and dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. Perhaps, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty wants to imitate his ancestor?
The reason why Yelu Zongzhen thinks so is not completely unreasonable.
His biological mother, Xiao Yujin, was extremely beautiful. Although Xiao Yujin gave birth to two boys and two girls, she was not very old. She was only in her thirties this year.
Having been pampered all year round, although Xiao Yujin is in his thirties, he looks like he is in his twenties, and his charm is still there.
On the other side, Yan Shu saw the uncertain look on Yelv Zongzhen's face. As smart as he was, he immediately guessed Yelv Zongzhen's thoughts.
In fact, not only Yelu Zong really thought so, but Yan Shu himself also thought so.
Even though he was thousands of miles away in Bianliang, he had heard of Empress Xiao's beauty.
It is not incomprehensible that the officials want to meet him or put him in the harem.
certainly.
Yan Shu only dared to think about it.
No one knows why the officials ordered Empress Xiao to enter Bianliang.
No one dared to say, no one dared to ask.
"Since it is His Majesty's wish, Xiao Wang will naturally comply with it."
for a long time.
Yelu Zongzhen lowered his head and agreed to this extremely 'humiliating' condition.
Despite his young age, his years of struggle experience have taught him the truth that when one is in a position of weakness, one must endure it.
"Please let the angels tell you, Your Majesty, the little king is willing to herd the Song Dynasty for generations to come."
Almost at the same time.
Another envoy team from the Song Dynasty also reached its destination, Xingzhou.
Upon learning that the angel had arrived, Li Deming led a group of tribal leaders early to greet the angel twenty miles outside the city.
As soon as he saw the envoy's motorcade, Li Deming immediately waved his hand, and with his order, drums and music sounded behind him.
"Chen Deming, please bow to the angel!"
"Wish me, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, long live, long live, long live!"
Hearing the slogan shouted by Li Deming, Fu Bi couldn't help but feel helpless.
What are these?
Long live Long live Long live?
The Song Dynasty was not interested in this.
Although the saying of "Long Live" has been around since ancient times, His Majesty doesn't really like others shouting "Long Live".
Li Deming's homework was indeed done, but only a little.
"King Xu, please get up first."
After shaking his head, Fu Bi still helped Li Deming up according to the courtesy.
The King Xu in his mouth was the new title given to Li Deming by the imperial court. The previous person who first named King Xu was none other than Qian Chu, King of Wuyue.
As for the previous one, it was Taizong's second son, Prince Gongxiao Zhao Yuanxi.
Granting the title of King Xu can not only remind Li Deming that he should behave like Qian Chu, the king of Wuyue, so that he can at least keep his wealth.
At the same time, it can also show the importance that the Song Dynasty paid to Li Deming.
King Xu is the title used by Taizong's second son and Zhenzong's direct brother. You, Li Deming, can inherit the title of King Xu. It is a blessing earned in eight lifetimes.
