Chapter 925 Emperor Tianzuo: How to appease King Yan's anger, wait online, very urgent!

Chongzheng Hall.

The ministers walked in one by one.

Envoys from Liao, Xixia, Goryeo, Jiaozhi, Japan, Dashi, Java, Sanfoqi, etc. also filed in and stood firm in their positions.

The courtiers of the Yan court did not dare to communicate casually during the court meeting, but most of them had a bit of joy on their brows.

This is naturally because of the birth of the future prince, and with the crown prince of the country, the heart will naturally become more stable.

Many envoys were also quite happy.

Of course, they couldn't be happy about the stability of the Great Yan Kingdom, and they wished that the Heavenly Dynasty and the Kingdom would be torn apart and fought hard, but now that there is no obstacle to unification, what they think is a generous gift.

The foreign policy of the Song Dynasty is "thin come and go thick" both politically and economically.

To put it bluntly, as long as foreign countries from all over the world come to pay tribute, whether it is political canonization or material rebates and rewards, they will be extremely generous and show the magnanimity of a great country.

Even the old coins given to Liao and Xixia have always been "blessings" in the internal discourse of the Song court, rather than enshrining them. As for what these two countries think, they don't care.

The Liao Kingdom and Xixia Kingdom have New Year’s coins that they can take every year, and a large number of overseas envoys frequently go to the Song Dynasty to pay tribute.

In comparison, Yan Ting is too stingy, it just maintains the necessary etiquette system, small countries pay tribute, Yan Ting gives slightly higher value gifts in return, but it does not bury the identity of a big country, but so far it has not rewarded generously .

Now, taking advantage of the birth of the future crown prince and the crown prince of the country, it's time to be generous!
But some envoys don't think so.

Because of the subjugation of Goryeo before, all parties saw King Yan's assistance to Goryeo, and the follow-up actually paid for it in actual actions, which is simply too rare.

Economic gifts are certainly attractive, but for the wealthy royal families of many small countries, they are not bad at all. However, if they can get political support from this big country, it is undoubtedly the goal that they should strive for as envoys.

Therefore, even Japan, which is currently in a closed state and has almost no contact with the Northern Song Dynasty court in history, probably received news from the war on the Korean Peninsula and sent envoys to Yan, and is now standing in the back position.

In comparison, Jin Rencun, the envoy of Goryeo, stood at the front, only one position behind the envoys of the Liao Kingdom. Now it is declining day by day.

No way, officials from all countries, including the Ministry of Rites, simply believed that King Yan had a good impression of Goryeo.

Since this country did not know what kind of virtues it had accumulated in its previous life, and could be appreciated by the founding king, then if it really wants to restore the country in the future, it is natural to establish a good relationship first.

"I, Goryeo, will definitely return to the status of a great power!"

Jin Rencun thought of the scene where the Japanese envoys came to curry favor with him a few days ago, but he was directly turned away. He straightened his back and felt extremely proud.

He is a loyal minister of Goryeo. After the former king's capital was captured by Jurchen, he fled by boat and came to Yanjing. He didn't expect much. He was just a drowning man who grabbed everything he could ask for help. Unexpectedly, Yanting was really a life-saving straw. Immediately spread the benevolence and righteousness of King Yan sensibly everywhere, so that all countries can understand this.

Obviously, what King Yan wants is this name. In order to get help for Goryeo, he must of course do his best to promote it, and at the same time make it difficult for the other party to step down, and continue to help like this.

Ever since, when the heroic figure wearing a purple gold crown and a gold-woven python robe walked in, Jin Rencun's voice was the most resounding and pious in the entire hall: "I will pay my respects to His Royal Highness King Yan!"

Li Yan sat on the throne and raised his hand: "Excuse me!"

The Ministry of Rites began to read the imperial edict, and sure enough, the first topic was about the prince, a short but meaningful reward: "The king of Yan has a son, blessed and blessed by nature, he will be established as the eldest son, and live in the East Palace!"

Before Cao Wei, the heirs of the kings were called princes, and since the beginning of Cao Wei, the heirs of the kings were renamed the sons, as the heirs.

"Cao discussed with everyone, and wanted to establish Zhi as his son", he was planning to make Cao Zhi his heir, but unfortunately, that person had outstanding talents, but his temperament was not enough to be a king, and it was a mistake to drink, so he finally made Cao Pi his son.

Compared with the fierce disputes over those heirs, His Royal Highness King Yan is too forthright.

He was born yesterday, but today he is enshrined as the eldest son, and he is still placed in the East Palace. Of course, he must have been granted false title when he was a baby. He lived with the princess, and he will only live in the East Palace later, but his attitude is very clear.

The ministers were overjoyed, this was completely conferring the crown prince, as long as the king of Yan proclaimed himself emperor, the prince would naturally become the crown prince, and it was naturally a great thing to be the crown prince of the country early.

As the eldest son, this treatment is not surprising, but some courtiers are still secretly surprised.

His Royal Highness King Yan is too young, and some emperors are a little bit taboo about setting up a prince too early. After all, there are natural antagonistic factors between the emperor and the prince. This one is really kind to his son...

Not to mention the thoughts in the minds of the officials, Jin Rencun yelled the loudest for this award: "I wait to congratulate His Royal Highness King Yan!"

The next few government affairs are normal. Just when the envoys regretted that this man did not intend to give generously, the big one came.

Li Yan's tone became heavy: "I'm afraid you guys don't know that my Yan army just experienced a defeat not long ago, and the loss was not light. This time, I still want to share the lesson with you... Shi Dudu!"

The Governor's Mansion and Governor Shiqian moved out: "Your Highness!"

Li Yandao: "Tell the cause and effect of the defeat to the ministers, and don't hide anything."

"Yes!"

The news about the Lianshui army is still a secret. Except for the purple-robed officials who can directly discuss matters in front of King Yan, the other officials of the Yan court really don't know about it. Many people changed their faces when they heard that the Yan army was defeated.

Although the envoys from various countries tried their best to conceal their true emotions, it was inevitable that they were a little weird. The eyes of the envoys from the Liao Kingdom flashed a look of watching the show, and they hoped to say more about the painful things of the Yan army to make them happy.

Jin Rencun was secretly worried. He didn't care how many people died in the Yan army. The key point was that the Yan army suffered a disastrous defeat elsewhere. Will the assistance to Goryeo be reduced?

There is no need to worry about this soon, because Shi Qian made it clear at the beginning: "The Lianshui army was defeated this time, and they were ambushed by the Jurchens in Koryo. The key lies in the treachery of the Koryo people..."

hum!
Jin Rencun only felt that there was a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and he was stunned, but Shi Qian's calm voice continued to speak, and each word clearly penetrated into his ears.

With the evidence of various details, the officials understood that it was such a failure method, and at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief, the anger in their hearts suddenly rose.

Ever since, Jin Rencun felt the gazes of the other courtiers in the palace gathered, as if they wanted to stab him to the brim with countless holes.

I don't know how long it took, the Korean envoy woke up like a dream, rushed out, and knelt down on the ground with a bang: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! My Korean rebels will never collude with the Jurchen thieves. Hope His Royal Highness Yan will learn from you!"

Li Yan said indifferently: "The Jurchens tore up the peace covenant signed with Goryeo, invaded Goryeo, and destroyed its country. This is treachery, and this will not change. However, my Dayan is out of justice and morality, but now I am betrayed by my allies. , the aid to the former Koryo Kingdom has come to an end! You step back and leave Beijing someday!"

Jin Rencun burst into tears and kowtowed desperately: "His Royal Highness... Please... Goryeo really needs... Dayan's help..."

Li Yan showed disgust and waved his hand: "Take it down!"

Seeing Jin Rencun being dragged out like a dead dog, many envoys felt a little bit of sympathy for Gao Li.

The country is destroyed, and the reputation is still bad...

It's over!

But the turmoil is not over.

Li Yan turned his eyes to the queue of envoys, landed on the leader of the Liao envoy, and said coldly: "The leader of the Jurchen, Wanyan Aguda, is still a subject of the Liao Kingdom. This king should ask the Liao Emperor carefully. How do you fulfill your duty as an ally!"

The envoys of the Liao Kingdom froze watching the excitement, and quickly collapsed, tremblingly said: "Yes!"

……

"Whoosh!"

Yelu Yanxi rode on the back of Stepping Xueqianlihong, put down her strong bow, and laughed: "I hit it!"

Xiao Fengxian, who was following beside him, saw the wild deer falling down in the distance, and sincerely praised: "Your Majesty's amazing shot! Your Majesty's amazing shot!"

Yelu Yanxi's archery skills are really good. This distance is close to a hundred paces. After all, the Liao emperors of all dynasties basically liked and were good at hunting.

They are different from the Han emperors who stay in the imperial palace of the capital. They must live in the middle of the country in four seasons. During this process, they will also lead the chiefs of each tribe to hunt, deter and appease, and connect with each other.

This mode of rule made hunting not only a hobby, but also a skill that the Liao emperor must master, which was passed down from generation to generation.

However, Yelu Hongji, the last Liao Emperor of Yelu Yanxi, did not have a brother, Xiao Feng, the king of the South Court, so he had a rough and tough personality, and he loved hunting very much.

No matter it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, as long as the weather is suitable for hunting, he will take his concubine and go straight to the hunting ground, draw bows and shoot arrows from morning to night, and also like to go hunting in the deep mountains. Once even Orudo couldn’t find him, Fortunately, he came back safe and sound in the end, and his interest in hunting is greater than dealing with government affairs.

Yelu Yanxi inherited this perfectly.

At this time, he was still thinking, and turned his eyes, but landed on the falcon on the guard's shoulder: "This Hai Dongqing, why haven't I seen it before?"

As a close minister, Xiao Fengxian must be clear about those who are having fun, and immediately said: "It's a new tribute from a straight woman!"

Yelu Yanxi raised his brows, threw a piece of meat over, looked at the strength of the eagle's swallowing, and praised: "What a eagle! The female straight people have done a good job, let them offer more next time!"

"Yes Yes!"

Xiao Feng responded first, with a slightly startled expression.

Because this Emperor Tianzuo acted as if nothing had happened, even the Liao Kingdom never went south to invade Zhao Song...

The question is how could it not have happened?
The three major changes within the Liao Kingdom cannot be avoided no matter what.

First of all, the key Yanyun Fourteen States are gone.

Losing this piece of land not only lost a strategic location for the Central Plains Dynasty in the south, but also lost the farming food and grass in the land of Yanyun.

This is quite fatal, and has already caused widespread internal dissatisfaction. As time goes by, the contradiction will definitely become bigger and bigger. Can't stand the contrast...

Secondly, there was a new hero in the south. In just a few years, Zhao Song, who had been confronting the north and south of the Liao Kingdom for more than a hundred years, came to an end.

Although unwilling to admit it, after the confrontation with Zhao Song, many people of insight in the Liao Kingdom had to admit that the current combat effectiveness of the Liao Army is actually not as strong as expected.

So Zhao Song simply lost the place like this, if the Yan army went north...

Fortunately for the Khitan nobles, Yan Ting has been building the Great Wall. If Zhao Song builds the Great Wall, they will definitely find trouble with each other. Now that Yan Ting is building the Great Wall...then build it, and don't expand the border to the land of Daliao. !
Finally, the Jurchen rises.

This group of Jurchens had clearly stated that their entire family moved to Korea, became Koreans, and loyally surrendered to Daliao, but so far they have not moved out of their homeland of white mountains and black waters, and just donated a few sea dongqings to fool them.

Since Goryeo was destroyed, many frontiers did not dare to provoke those vicious war fanatics. The authority belonging to the Liao Emperor was gradually shifting, and was replaced by Wanyan Aguda, the great chief of the Jurchen tribal alliance.

Xiao Fengxian is not a virtuous minister, you can tell that, does this Liao Emperor really know nothing?

"Ha ha!"

Whether Emperor Tianzuo is aware of the many changes in the country is temporarily unknown, but he is immersed in the thrill of hunting and conquering, and he smiles heartily from time to time.

Until the urgent report came.

"Your Majesty, this is an urgent government matter from the North Courtyard!"

When Xiao Fengxian offered it, his expression was slightly disturbed.

He is very clear that the general government affairs in the country will not disturb the interest of His Majesty at all, and the hasty report at this time must be an extremely critical matter.

Yelu Yanxi was very impatient, and grabbed it with his hands. After a careful look, his body swayed on the horse's back first, and then an angry voice sounded: "Are the straight women crazy? What are they doing to provoke Yan Guo? They are If you killed all the Koreans, you shouldn't directly kill the Yan army!"

The urgent report hit the grass with a slap, Xiao Fengxian gently picked it up, quickly glanced at it, his face changed, his eyes rolled around, and hurriedly said: "This matter is Gaoli's ungratefulness..."

Yelu Yanxi sneered and said: "I have already seen that this group of Koreans can't help each other, so how can the king of Yan have such a brilliant vision like mine, to help the restoration of the country for the sake of a bit of a big country, and now he is being plotted by the female straight, Blame me, Daliao! It's unreasonable!"

Xiao Fengxian hurriedly echoed: "Yes! It's really self-made..."

Halfway through the conversation, the Emperor Tianzuo murmured: "How can I appease King Yan's anger?"
