There were constant arguments in the Song Dynasty court. When Song Huizong saw that Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Cai Jing, Zong Ze and other ministers had such big differences, he couldn't help but said angrily:
"The Great Jin Empire is lobbying us, the Great Song Dynasty, and wants to form a maritime alliance with us. The Liao Dynasty is no exception. Their military governor Yelu Dashi will come to Beijing to worship in the near future. Therefore, now we, the Great Song Dynasty There are two roads at your feet, one is to form an alliance with Jin and recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun, the other is to continue to form an alliance with Liao and inherit the shame of a hundred years."
After saying this, Song Huizong walked to the harem in a rage, while all the civil and military officials in the court went back.
Those who led the alliance between the Song and Jin Dynasties were Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Ma Zheng, Wang Shizhong, Zhao Liangsi and other Tong Guan faction. Those who advocated harmonious coexistence with the Liao Dynasty were Cai Jing and others. The generals headed by Zong Ze and others remained neutral. Although he is willing to fight, he is not optimistic about the progress of the Song-Jin alliance.
After learning about the dispute in the Song Dynasty, Yelu Dashi prepared heavy gifts and quietly went to Cai Jing's residence to visit, hoping to use Cai Jing's appeal to let the Liao and Song Dynasties continue their good fortune for a hundred years.
Yelu Dashi, Xiao Hanlila, Yelushun, Xiao Hai and others came slowly. Cai Jing looked at the heavy gifts and smiled from ear to ear. He immediately called everyone to sit down and said:
"Dashi Linya came all the way, and I, Cai Jing, didn't greet him well. Please don't take it to heart, Mr. Linya."
"Hahaha, Prime Minister, I have taken the liberty of interrupting you, but please forgive me. If you come, I will present the gift prepared by the Prime Minister."
After Yelu Dashi finished speaking, Uruguay, Uruguay and others immediately donated hundreds of boxes of gold and silver treasures, which made Cai Jing elated.
After pondering for a while, Yelu Dashi said slowly:
"I would like to inform you, Prime Minister, that since the Liao-Song Chanyuan Alliance, the border between the two countries has been peaceful, and thousands of people have been able to enjoy peace. This is a blessing for both countries. Now your country intends to form an alliance with the Jin Empire and jointly send troops to destroy it. Liao, this is the next strategy."
After Yelu Dashi finished speaking, Xiao Hanlila next to him immediately said:
"Master Prime Minister, the Jurchens are disobedient and unjust. My Lord Lin Ya once became brothers with different surnames from Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Wu Qimai, and he saved Wanyan Aguda's life twice. However, they The two brothers have repeatedly attempted to kill my Lord Lin Ya."
"Therefore, if your country forms an alliance with the Jin Empire and jointly sends troops to destroy the Liao Dynasty, after the Liao Empire is destroyed, the Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty will be directly adjacent to each other. Your Song Dynasty will have no barrier to confront the Jin Empire. If you are not careful, the country will be destroyed. The Jin Iron Cavalry will definitely march south and attack Bianjing, and it will be too late to regret it by then."
After Yelu Dashi and Xiao Hanli exchanged words with each other for a long time, Cai Jing did not look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, and did not see the pretentiousness between the two countries, but for the sake of tens of thousands of gold and silver treasures, Cai Jing He brought Yelu Dashi, Xiao Hanlila, Yelushun, Xiao Hai and others into the palace to meet Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.
Song Huizong was sitting high and magnificent, and a dozen people including Yelu Dashi, Xiao Hanlila and others slowly came over, knelt down and said to Song Huizong, who was dominating the world:
"The Liao Dynasty raised its army and envoy Yelu Dashi led a group of envoys to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, long live long live."
Song Huizong didn't say anything, and Yelu Dashi and others couldn't get up. The court was silent for a long time. Cai Jing, who couldn't hold himself any longer, suddenly stood up and said to Song Huizong:
"Your Majesty, Yelu Dashi is the eighth grandson of Emperor Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, a Jinshi of Khitan, and the military commander of the Liao Dynasty. He is extremely noble. He is here for the sake of peace between the two countries. Please also ask The emperor gives me favor."
After Cai Jing finished speaking, Tong Guan laughed and said:
"Oh oh oh, it turns out to be Dashi Linya. In the land of Taizhou, I lost my wife and lost my army. Dashi Linya. I would like to report to the emperor that it has been more than a hundred years since the Liao and Song Dynasties stopped fighting in the Chanyuan Alliance, but the Dashi Linya The Liao Dynasty disrespects the Song Dynasty court so much, I think this is the end of the peace treaty."
Tong Guan's words made Yelu Dashi dare to be angry but dare not speak. He silently endured Tong Guan's insult. However, Xiao Hanlila behind him was unwilling to be left alone and immediately stood up and said:
"Hey, hey, I dare to ask Master Tong, why did the Liao Dynasty disrespect the Song Dynasty? This nonsense is simply nonsense."
"Hahaha, doesn't Mr. Xiao know this? Your Majesty the Emperor once said that Yelu Dashi couldn't even take care of his wife and subordinates. He had lost the face of the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty and the world's Jinshi. Isn't it an insult to our court for such an unworthy person to be sent as an envoy to our court?"
"Yes, yes, what Taishi Tong said makes sense. I, Zhao Liangsi, have lived in the capital of Jin of the Liao Dynasty for a long time. I know that Yelu Dashi is an insignificant person. This trip to the Song Dynasty as an envoy is an insult to the Song Dynasty. ".
After being filled with righteous indignation, Zhao Liangsi spoke louder and louder, and finally said simply:
"Your Majesty, the reason why the Daliao Dynasty sent people to negotiate peace is nothing more than domestic and foreign troubles. The sun is declining and the building is about to collapse. It seems that the demise of the Liao Dynasty is not far away. We, the Song Dynasty, will not take this opportunity. How long will it take to form an alliance with Jin and regain the rivers and mountains?"
Yelu Dashi, who had been silent for a long time, finally stopped being silent. He walked slowly for a few steps and said:
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, ladies and gentlemen, our Liao Dynasty is indeed suffering from internal and external troubles, but it is not declining. At present, our dynasty still has countless grain, grass, horses, and millions of soldiers, and we can still compete with the Great Jin Empire."
"Of course, as everyone said, if Song and Jin form an alliance and jointly attack Daliao, Daliao will be attacked from both sides and in danger of national destruction. Your court can also take this opportunity to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun."
"But think about it, everyone, the story of lip-destroying teeth-cold comes from the Central Plains. How can you not know the principle of making friends from far away and attacking closely, lip-destroying teeth being cold. If I, the Liao Dynasty, were destroyed, how could you, the Song Dynasty, be immune to the attack of the Jin Dynasty's cavalry? I don't think so."
"Therefore, I, Yelu Dashi, came here on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, just to consolidate the Liao-Song Chanyuan Treaty, so that the people on the border and hundreds of thousands of soldiers can avoid the disaster of swordsmanship, and I ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to make a holy judgment."
After Yelu Dashi finished speaking, the Song Dynasty court became noisy again. The aloof Song Huizong said nothing. All civil and military officials in the court were filled with indignation. They agreed to form an alliance with Jin and regain the sixteen states of Yanyun. They had to accept tens of thousands of gold from the Liao Dynasty. Cai Jing, the prime minister of Yin Caibao, said loudly:
"Your Majesty, the Liao Dynasty is a friendly country. We can have a close relationship and continue the century-old achievements of the Chanyuan Alliance. The Great Jin Empire is a warrior of tigers and wolves. You cannot seek skin from tigers. Please don't lose big for small things."
However, just as Cai Jing finished speaking, Zhao Liangsi raised his voice and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, the three million people of Yanyun and Sixteen Prefectures have been suffering from the Liao for a long time. If our army of the Song Dynasty goes north to attack the Liao Dynasty, millions of people will eat pots of milk to welcome the king's army. The final word is final."
Therefore, the emperor is requested to make a quick decision and form an alliance with Jin to destroy Liao together.
The civil and military officials discussed it for a long time, with Cai Jing and others shaking their heads repeatedly, Zong Ze, Li Gang and others looking confused, and Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Zhao Liangsi and others feeling proud.
After a while, Song Huizong, who was sitting in the Jinluan Hall, said loudly:
"Dashi Linya, we, the emperors and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, are dedicated to regaining the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. If you, the Great Liao Dynasty, return the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun at this moment, our Great Song Dynasty will be reconciled with your court. I don’t know what the great What does Shi Linya think?"
Song Huizong's words shocked everyone present, including Xiao Hanlila, Yelvshun, Xiao Hai, Uruguay, and Ulabbu. They looked at the confused Yelu Dashi and saw him sighing and saying:
"I would like to report to His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty that the land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was obtained by our ancestors of the Liao Dynasty from the Later Jin Dynasty. The soldiers are not the territory of your country. Please do not force your Majesty to make things difficult."
"Oh, is that right? Aren't you afraid that I will lead my army to the north and attack the Great Jin Empire from both front and back, and seize the vast territory of the Liao Dynasty from you?"
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. It's just that the Song Dynasty was originally the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, a place of truth. I think His Majesty the Emperor understands justice well and would not be like this."
After Yelu Dashi finished speaking, Song Huizong laughed heartily, walked slowly down his Jinluan Palace, and said loudly to Yelu Dashi:
"For more than a hundred years, in the negotiations between Liao and Song, Liao has always been strong and Song has been weak. This time, our Song Dynasty finally vented its anger. It's really happy. But the big stone forest teeth, as long as you pass through my crotch today , our Song Dynasty can consider not having good relations with the Jin Kingdom."
After Song Huizong finished speaking, Yelu Dashi also burst into laughter. After a moment, he said righteously:
"It is not uncomfortable to be humiliated under the crotch. For the sake of the country and the country, I will not hesitate even if I am broken into pieces. But since His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is like this, he must have made up his mind to form an alliance with Jin. Let alone let me, Yelu Dashi, be humiliated under the crotch. That is Killing me, His Majesty the Emperor of Liao, will certainly not stop His Majesty the Emperor of Song from being determined.”
After Yelu Dashi finished speaking, he saluted Song Huizong and left with Xiao Hanli and others.
