The rise of the prince

Chapter 354
Finally, De Gong stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a compromise. What General Zhong and Lord Yu said are both reasonable, so it is better to stabilize the Jurchen envoy first, stay in Beijing, and wait until after the autumn harvest to see the overall situation." give an answer.

Anyway, the struggle between Liao and Jin is beneficial to Jingguo, and it should be clear after autumn that we will make a decision at that time.Furthermore, after the autumn harvest, there is plenty of food and grass, so even if you want to fight, you are fully prepared. "

For a while, everyone bowed their hands in agreement.

Li Xingzhou also breathed a sigh of relief, he still thought too much, Jingguo has a man like Degong and a veteran on the battlefield like Zhong Daoyu, how could he easily follow the old path of the Northern Song Dynasty and make a strategic misjudgment?
It seems that history is different after all.

Degong's approach is very clever, it is not simple and muddy, because Jingguo really needs to wait and see at this time, firstly, to determine whether Jurchen has the ability to compete with Liaoguo, and secondly, after the autumn harvest, the army will be strong and the food and grass will be sufficient, which is a good time .

The emperor nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "So, this matter will be settled today, and we will act according to Wang Qing's words. During this period, the Jurchen envoys will temporarily stay in the Kyoto Post House and will be entertained by the Ministry of Rites. Don't be negligent and let foreigners see See me as a great country in the Central Plains."

The white-haired Chen Yu bowed his hands and took the order.

Xiaochao also came to an end.

The matter of the Jurchen was almost settled, and Li Xingzhou was able to devote himself wholeheartedly to the planning of the new palace.

It was only later that he realized that Shiyu's original surname was Yu, and his real name was Hongyan.

After Li Xingzhou heard about it, he sat on the chair and laughed, Shiyu pinched him shyly all the time, but as far as ordinary people are concerned, picking out this name is quite good, at least not called Yu Daya or the like.

Afterwards, under Shiyu's bedside repeated questioning, he finally told her what the words "正" meant. Shiyu was so angry that his face was flushed, and he went to Zhenbao Pavilion to tear up the words overnight. Li Xingzhou hurriedly hugged her: " That’s not okay, it’s the joy of life.”

"Heretics!" The poem was in a hurry, and finally didn't tear up the words.

Due to the delay of the rain, the launch of the two large ships was temporarily slowed down, so they planned to launch together with the other two ships in mid-August.Because in late August, Wangfu officially began to deliver goods to major merchants.

Then there is steel, cement!
Li Xingzhou suffers from the phobia of insufficient productivity. He produces as much as he can, and stores excess capacity. He is never afraid of too much, and he also believes that in the future there will not be too much steel and cement.Funds were continuously replenished from the sales of general brewing, perfume, and agricultural tools, and then became the steel and cement stocks of the Wangfu.

Brother Wanyanying deliberately placed a few shriveled heads by the door of the posthouse where they could be seen as soon as they entered, and the smell had already begun to emit.

The reason for this is that someone came to inform them this morning that this afternoon, the senior official Jing Guo, a scholar of the Hanlin University and a part-time judge of the Tokyo Imperial College, is coming to see them.Although she didn't understand these names, she must be very powerful. She wanted to scare the people of Jingguo.

Liu Xu was sweating profusely and wanted to stop him, but Shuhu stopped him from coming forward.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and then someone announced and handed over a name badge. Brother Wanyanying could read Chinese characters, and when he saw it, he became excited: "Let him in!"

After a while, a gray-haired old man came in with several young officials.

Sure enough, when the young officials saw the head offered in front of the door, they were frightened and turned pale with alarm.

Seeing the embarrassment of Jingguo officials, Brother Wanyanying was very proud, and the corners of his mouth turned up into a smile.

It was funny halfway through, but she found that the old man who took the lead in front was not afraid at all, walked slowly without changing his expression, and then bowed in a calm manner. She didn't know how to respond for a while, so she had to follow suit.

After the ceremony, he opened his mouth and said: "I am here by the order of Emperor Jingguo to see all the distinguished guests. If you have any orders, please speak up."

At this time, Liu Xu finally found a chance to get past Shuhu's obstruction, and stepped forward to say some polite words to save him.

Brother Wanyanying was stunned, and when everyone was seated in the main hall, she finally couldn't help asking: "Aren't you afraid of the heads outside?"

The white-haired old man smiled: "I think this is the way of hospitality in your country. I came here with etiquette. This lady must also want to treat her with courtesy. Although it is scary, it is no different from us people from the Central Plains.

Within the four seas, the nations of the world cannot be counted one by one. It is great to be tolerant of all rivers and rivers. Your country's etiquette can also be accepted and respected by the Central Plains. Since we, the people of the Central Plains, bow to each other to meet our ancestors, you Jurchens welcome people with their heads. It is also the gift of the ancestors. Everyone respects the ancestors, so what is wrong and what is terrible about it. "

Brother Wanyanying felt guilty for a moment after hearing this, but was speechless, and silently lowered her head.

On the other side, Liu Xu chatted with the minister of Jing Guo. When it was said that the king and ministers of Jing Guo were still discussing whether to send troops, Liu Xu frowned, but as an envoy, he was not easy to urge, so he said: "The opportunity for war is fleeting." , the battle situation is ever-changing, I still hope that your monarchs and ministers will take a long-term view and make decisions early, so as not to miss the opportunity."

Then the two started chatting, and Liu Xu and Wanyan Ying, who was listening, gradually felt that the person in front of them was well-informed, knowledgeable but not pedantic, knowledgeable but not showing off, giving people a feeling of spring breeze and majesty.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Jingguo, as a big country in the Central Plains, really has a lot of talents.

Brother Wanyanying was a little unhappy, feeling that he had lost for a while, so he interjected intentionally or unintentionally, telling the old gentleman about his glorious achievements.

She was good at riding and shooting since she was a child, and she has hunted tigers and killed bears. Just last month, before she left Liaoyang, she went out with her father to capture the Dongdong Road of Liao Kingdom.

During this period, she led the troops to fight bravely, beheaded thousands of people, and defeated the right army of Liao's defender Xiao Dou, causing the Chinese army to be attacked from both sides, and Liao was defeated.

Brother Yanying said these achievements vividly, and she was very proud. After listening to the old man, he also praised her, and he did not hesitate to praise her. For a while, she was even more proud, and then she realized: "We are neither relatives nor friends, we are not friends. I am not a Han Chinese, why do you praise me?"

The old man paused, then smiled randomly and replied: "Isn't it human nature to praise someone or something great? This girl must be a rare talent in the Kingdom of Jin. With someone like you, Jin Blessed is the country."

Brother Wanyanying was even more embarrassed, and quickly lowered her head.

Finally, when the old gentleman was about to leave, he said: "In a few days, the emperor will host a banquet in the palace, and the Ministry of Rites will send chariots and horses to pick you up and see you off."

Looking at the back of the old man going away, Brother Wanyan Ying couldn't calm down for a long time, and he didn't know what kind of mood it was.

From the end of July to the beginning of August, Guanbei Meteor Express is now constantly bringing news of the war in the north.

The army of the Liao Kingdom was led by Yelv Shulie, Prince Yeludun of the Liao Kingdom, King Yelu Dashi of the North Academy, King Xiaobaoji of the South Academy, and Han Derang, the envoy of the Zhangde Army, accompanied by a total of 10,000+. They were already in the east of the Zhongjing Road Confronting the Jurchen Jin Kingdom's army marching westward.

The two armies faced each other on the low hills of the plain.

The two Jurchen armies, led by Jin Emperor Wanyan Wugunai and his younger brother Wanyan Zongbi, totaled no more than [-], and the strength of the troops was very different.

In the north, swords were drawn and a war was imminent.
