Xiao Fengxian saw Emperor Tianzuo's furious look, and was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, saying frankly that he was doing this all for Daliao and had absolutely no selfish motives!
"Your Majesty, please calm down! If I don't say this, Murong Fu will definitely conspire with Da Jin. By then, Daliao will be gone. Do we still care about the territory of Xijing Road?"
"Which one is more serious? Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Emperor Tian Zuo's eyes widened with anger, and he stared at Xiao Fengxian who was kneeling on the ground. His eyes seemed to burst out of fire, but when the other person's words fell on his ears, they were like a basin of merciless cold water, instantly quenching his anger. Extinguished.
Yelu Yanxi slumped down on the dragon chair in frustration, feeling mixed with sorrow and hatred in his heart, but also feeling deeply helpless. If God could give him another year of Liao Dynasty to regroup, he would not be afraid of a mere trivial matter if he was a powerful country. A nuisance from the Jurchen tribe?
Now Daliao is not without military resources, but it is too late to make overall arrangements. As long as he is given a year to recover the lost territory of the northern tribes, and then recruits more troops, he can pull up a team of 100,000, or even hundreds of thousands, at any time to defeat the Jurchens. The clan's rebels were completely wiped out.
However, this time the Jurchens seized the opportunity so quickly that Daliao had no room for resistance. Not only was it unable to recruit troops immediately, but it was also deeply involved in the turmoil of public opinion, which led to the loss of public support. Now the people fled to Beijing one after another, unwilling to be raped. Conscription rations.
"Damn Jurchen tribe!" ?.?????.???
Emperor Tian Zuo became angrier as he thought about it, and started to curse.
Xiao Fengxian shivered underneath and said nothing.
I don't know how long it took before Emperor Tianzuo calmed down and asked, "Murong Fu really said that as long as we give up the territory of Xijing Road, he will send troops to help us destroy Dajin?"
"Uh...this..."
Xiao Feng was overjoyed to see Emperor Tianzuo relent, but when he heard his question so straightforwardly, he was instantly stunned.
Did Murong Fu agree?
He seemed... he didn't seem to have made it clear, it was quite ambiguous.
Seeing that Xiao Fengxian suddenly stopped talking, Emperor Tianzuo frowned and said, "What? He didn't agree? Then you are in a hurry to come back and talk to me about ceding land?"
Xiao Fengxian broke into a cold sweat, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Murong Fu made it clear that he had this intention, but he did not make an immediate decision. He asked the minister to come back first and consult with Your Majesty before going to discuss it with him."
At this point, he didn't dare to say that he didn't ask clearly, so he could only push the question to Murong Fu first.
Emperor Tianzuo suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Go and tell Murong Fu that as long as he can help me in Daliao to destroy the Kingdom of Jin, Xijing Road will be given to him!"
Rather than becoming a king who subjugated his country, he was willing to bear the infamy of ceding land for generations. Although he ceded the land to Murong Fu, it was only a temporary measure. When the Liao Kingdom becomes stronger in the future, it will naturally recapture the Xijing Road. In this way, he will destroy the Yan Dynasty, attack the Song Dynasty again, and then unify the entire Central Plains.
By then, historians will only say that he was a saintly king who knew how to be forbearing and had a strategic plan. Naturally, the so-called infamy will no longer exist.
When Xiao Feng saw that Emperor Tianzuo agreed, he hurriedly retreated, intending to clean up before continuing on his way.
Seeing Xiao Fengxian's embarrassed appearance and thinking that he was assassinated by the Jurchen tribe on the way, Emperor Tianzuo couldn't help but feel a sense of compassion and shouted, "You don't have to go there personally for this matter. Send an envoy to Dayan to deliver a message to them." Just come and talk to us.”
Now that Xiao Fengxian thought about the danger of being assassinated, he could not help but feel lingering fear. After learning that he did not have to leave the capital, he was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked the saint.
…
On the other hand, Han Zhongyan also returned to Bianjing of the Song Dynasty with Murong Fu's request to meet with the officials.
When Huizong learned that Murong Fu was so greedy, he was furious.
Han Zhongyan had already helped Murong Fu think of his words along the way, and immediately advised, "Officials and ministers think there is nothing wrong with this matter!"
Huizong was dissatisfied and said, "How respected is my golden princess of the Song Dynasty? I am willing to marry the emperor's eldest daughter to his son. It is already a great gift. Murong Fu didn't want to thank him, but he wanted to Two people, such arrogant and arrogant words, but Prime Minister Han still thinks there is nothing wrong with them?"
Han Zhongyan said, "In the official family, Murong Fu has now established a country and proclaimed himself emperor. Although the Yan State is weak, it has a hundred thousand strong soldiers and good generals, and its relationship with Xixia and Tubo is quite ambiguous. Apart from minor ministers, it is still You can no longer treat the other person as he was when he was King Yan, don’t underestimate this person, and don’t underestimate Dayan.”
Huizong snorted coldly, apparently ignoring Murong Fu's current identity.
He had forgotten that Murong Fu was now the emperor of the Yan Kingdom. Strictly speaking, there was no difference between his status and his own, it was nothing more than the strength of the country.
"Even if he has established a country and proclaimed himself emperor, it is just a small country in Liaodong. Do I want to give my two daughters to his son just because he opened his mouth?"
Han Zhongyan asked, "Does the official family know who the queen of Dayan is?"
Although Han Zhongyan came back late, the news about Murong Fu's enthronement and canonization had already spread back.
"I didn't expect that he would make Xiao Qi the queen."
Huizong looked confused.
Han Zhongyan said, "Yes, the queen of Dayan is the eldest princess of the Song Dynasty, the Princess of Yan back then. In addition, the officials should also know that Murong Fu's ancestors are descendants of the Xianbei people and the royal blood of the former Yan. "
When talking about this matter, Huizong became extremely angry and said, "I have known for a long time that this person has no good intentions and intends to revive the Yan Dynasty and rebel against the Song Dynasty."
Han Zhongyan sighed, "Now there are only Xixia descendants of the Qiang people. The former Yan party has long since lost its population, and there is no hope of restoring the country!"
"Murong Fu wants to restore the glory of his ancestors. It is almost impossible because of the difficulties. What he is relying on right now is just the people of the Song Dynasty and the Khitan. Without these people, I am afraid that he will not even be able to found the country. Even if it’s difficult, how can we talk about becoming emperor?”
"The reason why Murong Fu made the eldest princess the queen was to appease the hearts of the Han people in the world, saying that although Dayan was built by a foreign race and became a foreign country, the queen was a descendant of the royal family of the Song Dynasty. I want to use this to win over people’s hearts.”
"This is why Murong Fu agreed to marry the Song Dynasty."
After hearing this, Huizong was shocked and said, "So, doesn't it mean that he can't get his wish?"
Han Zhongyan said, "This is a bad statement. I feel that his wish should be fulfilled."
"What's wrong with what Prime Minister Han said?"
Huizong asked.
While sighing that it was too difficult for him, Han Zhongyan replied, "As the officials know, the Murong family has inherited only Murong Fu's lineage. Now, although the crown prince Murong Chengze has been adopted by the eldest princess as his son, he He is not the legitimate daughter of the eldest princess, and my heart always prefers the Murong family."
"Now that Murong Fu has agreed to arrange the marriage between Princess Jiafu and Murong Chengze, although he intends to win over the Song people, it has also unknowingly laid hidden dangers for his country. In the future, if Murong Chengze succeeds to the throne, he will When Princess Jiafu gives birth to an heir, doesn’t it mean that she has the blood of our Song Dynasty royal family?”
Huizong was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly there was a different meaning in his eyes when he looked at Han Zhongyan.
