Chapter 496 Your Majesty, You Have Been Lied

After the envoy of Linzhou Kingdom thanked Zhao Guangyi, he bowed and said, "The envoy of the next country has a letter of credentials."

The envoy of Linzhou Kingdom took out a book of credentials from his sleeve and raised his hands above his head.

There was Xiao Huangmen who took the letter of credence and handed it to Wang Jien. After Wang Jien fumbled carefully, he handed it to Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi opened the letter of credence of the envoy of Linzhou Kingdom with great interest.

After looking at it at a glance, his face became very strange.

"You... want me to admit that Fengzhou and Shengzhou belong to the state of Linzhou..."

Can't help Zhao Guangyi's complexion is not strange, thinking back then, when he expeditioned to Liao Kingdom in the north, he didn't dare to go to war with Liao Kingdom and Dangxiang at the same time.

Back then, for the smooth Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom, he promised Dangxiang a lot of good things, in order to prevent Dangxiang from taking advantage of the fire and dragging his feet.

Now some people are acting boldly and suddenly provoked a big war with Dangxiang and Liao.

And it is a small country with only one state.

Is this looking for death?

"Zhao Aiqing, take a look too..."

Zhao Guangyi handed the letter of credence to Wang Jien, and Wang Jien handed it over to Zhao Pu.

Although Zhao Pu already knew the whole story, he still pretended to read the letter of credence carefully, and then handed it to the second prince beside him who already had the right to participate in politics.

Guoshu walked around like this, and returned to Zhao Guangyi's hand again.

Zhao Guangyi asked deeply: "Zhao Aiqing, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhao Pu cupped his hands and said: "The veteran thought that he could agree to the request of Linzhou Kingdom. His Majesty had made an alliance with the Lord of Linzhou before, and he had secretly promised Shengzhou to them.

Now they have bitten off a piece of meat from Liao State by their own ability.Your Majesty just needs to push the boat along. "

The second prince frowned and said: "Father, my son thinks that this matter is inappropriate."

Zhao Guangyi raised his eyebrows, and asked in surprise, "What do you think is wrong with this matter?"

The second prince said sternly: "I want to report to my father, the leader of Linzhou State cut off a piece of meat from Dang Xiangren, and obviously formed a deadly enmity with Li Jiqian. Before the father, the emperor risked the world and canonized Linzhou State The lord of the country has already feuded with the party.

Of course, this matter can be shirked by the excuse that I can't intervene because of the internal turmoil in the party.

However, Linzhou State's right to rule Shengzhou was now recognized.

This is bound to be due to the differences between Song and Liao.

The Liao Congress believed that the actions of Linzhou State were caused by the instigation of Song Dynasty behind the scenes.

Li Jiqian of Dangxiang probably thinks so too.

Once the Liao Kingdom forms an alliance with Dangxiang, it will indeed be a disaster for Song Dynasty. "

Zhao Guangyi frowned, then turned to ask the envoy of Linzhou Kingdom, "What do you think?"

The envoy of Linzhou State bowed and said: "What the prince of your country said, the envoy dare not make rash assertions. It's just that before the envoy came to the Song Dynasty, my lord once explained that I, Linzhou State, would like to be a vassal of the Song Dynasty from generation to generation. .With my Linzhou Kingdom here, I will never let the party members take the next step."

The envoy of Linzhou State spoke sonorously and forcefully.

Zhao Guangyi frowned even deeper.

The second prince didn't seem to see Zhao Guangyi's furrowed brows. After hearing the words of the envoy of Linzhou Kingdom, he said loudly: "Your Linzhou Kingdom is only three states including the two states you just invaded, but the party is ten Several states. How dare you brazenly say that your Linzhou state can block the party and dare not take a step south?"

"enough!"

Zhao Guangyi gave the second prince a dissatisfied look, and scolded him.

Whether or not to confer the title of Linzhou State, in fact, everyone has a common answer in their minds for this matter alone.

Can be canonized!

Why is it canonized?

Because the emergence of Linzhou Kingdom is beneficial and harmless to Song Dynasty.

First of all, Linzhou Guoheng is between Dangxiang and Dasong. From the moment it appeared, it has become a natural barrier for Dasong to stop Dangxiang people.

With the state of Linzhou, Dang Xiang could not directly attack Song's territory.

Da Song didn't have to worry about party members rushing into the territory of Da Song to cause chaos.

At the same time, Zhao Guangyi didn't have to worry about the chaos caused by the party members when he went to the Liao Kingdom in the Northern Expedition.

It can be said that the emergence of Linzhou Kingdom can help Song Dynasty get rid of a serious problem.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Da Song doesn't need to worry about Linzhou's growing up and back Da Song.

Linzhou is just a small country that occupies the land of three states.

The north must resist the Dangxiang people, and the east must resist the Liao people.

So it is destined to be difficult to develop.

As for the canonization of the state of Linzhou, which would cause dissatisfaction in the Liao state, Zhao Guangyi was not worried at all.

Liao and Song are rivals.

Still the kind of life and death enemy.

Let the enemy of life and death hate you more, there is not much disturbance at all.

Because even if there is no such hatred, the two sides will be hostile to each other, wishing to destroy each other.

The reason why Zhao Guangyi asked about policy was not whether this move would offend Liao or the party.

What he meant was that the national value of Linzhou was not worth supporting.

Can Linzhou survive under the attack of Dangxiang and Liao?

It is easy to support a puppet, but if the person who is supported is A Dou, the gain outweighs the loss.

The second prince obviously didn't feel Zhao Guangyi's pulse.

Zhao Guangyi didn't like the weakness he showed.

After Zhao Guangyi scolded his son, he asked the ministers, "What do you love?"

Standing at the head of the general, Gao Huaide cupped his hands and said, "The old minister thinks that this matter cannot be done. Linzhou is just a tiny place, under the attack of the Liao people and the Dangxiang people, it will be short-lived and destroyed in an instant."

"The old minister also feels that this matter cannot be done. The current situation of Linzhou Kingdom is like a yellow flower tomorrow, and everyone can see it. The day of destruction is also coming soon. Canonizing a small country that is about to be destroyed will damage the majesty of our Song Dynasty. "

"..."

The courtiers talked a lot.

Among them, [-]% of the people do not approve of the canonization of Linzhou Kingdom.

They are not optimistic about the state of Linzhou.

They all believed that the Linzhou state would be destroyed quickly under the attack of the Dangxiang people and the Liao people.

In fact, the four adults who did not speak also thought so.

It's just that they are all Zhao Pu's disciples and old friends.

Zhao Pu discussed this matter with them yesterday.

They will follow Zhao Pu in a while to protect the canonization of the state of Linzhou.

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one was optimistic about Linzhou Kingdom.

When Zhao Guangyi saw that [-]% of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty disapproved, he was ready to refuse.

"Your Majesty, the veteran thinks that it should be canonized. This matter is a good thing for my Song Dynasty. We can't just look at the situation of Linzhou Kingdom, we should look at the overall situation."

Zhao Pu spoke suddenly.

His remarks obviously stunned the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Those who are familiar with Zhao Pu secretly shook their heads.

They cursed in their hearts.

This old man is probably taking black money, that's why he said so.

Zhao Guangyi was stunned for a moment, then pondered: "Oh? Tell me, Zhao Aiqing, how do you look at it from the overall situation?"

Zhao Pulang said: "Your Majesty should take a look at the situation in the northwest. Your Majesty's canonization of Linzhou State is like buying a horse bone with a thousand dollars. Although Linzhou State is in danger of being destroyed at any time, I can't help it. However, no matter For the survival of the Linzhou state, for the Song Dynasty, there is a huge benefit to conferring the Linzhou state.

You should all know that to the east of Shengzhou is the sixteen states of Yanyun.

And in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, there are tens of millions of people who have our Great Song Dynasty in their hearts.

His Majesty canonized Linzhou Kingdom today.Perhaps among the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, those people whose hearts are devoted to the Great Song Dynasty will see His Majesty's kindness, and will follow the example of Linzhou.

A state of Linzhou is destroyed, but it is very likely that Youzhou state, Yunzhou state, etc. will appear in the sixteen states of Yanyun.

By that time, my Great Song Dynasty will regain the Yanyun Sixteen States, and it will be just around the corner. "

Yanyun Sixteen States has always been a heartache in Zhao Guangyi's heart.

Chai Rong, the ancestor of the later Zhou Dynasty, failed in the Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom; his brother Zhao Kuangyin failed in the Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom.

Therefore, in Zhao Guangyi's mind, as long as he wins the Yanyun Sixteen States, his achievements will surpass those of the two emperors mentioned above.

His dark history when he was in power will also be overshadowed by the light of his achievements.

This is also the reason why he did not hesitate to expedite the Liao Kingdom in the north twice.

Zhao Pu's talk of Yanyun sixteen prefectures really tickled Zhao Guangyi's itch.

Zhao Guangyi, who was going to refuse Linzhou State's canonization of credentials, began to hesitate.

Zhao Pu hit the rails while it was hot: "Your Majesty...it is too early to say that the Linzhou Kingdom will be defeated. Yang Ye, a veteran who has guarded the Yanmen Pass for many years, is now in Daizhou. There are now [-] forbidden troops in the Yanmen Pass, and there is also a town government. The folders of the state..."

Zhao Pu smiled cheerfully: "It's not that we can't help Linzhouguo when necessary...as long as they can pay enough..."

Zhao Guangyi's eyes lit up.

Zhao Pu's proposal made Zhao Guangyi very tempted.

Yang Ye from Daizhou, Zhejiajun from Fuzhou...

These two forces are no longer within the scope of the imperial court's power by Zhao Guangyi.

So Zhao Guangyi didn't feel sorry for how much the two forces were hurt.

If they use their strength to support the Linzhou Kingdom, they will also seek some benefits for the imperial court by the way.

That's really the best of both worlds.

The preservation of Linzhou State is a great help to Da Song, and Da Song can use this to ask for a large amount of property from Linzhou State.

If the Linzhou state cannot be preserved, the Zhe family army will be damaged, and the Datong army that the Yang family is forming will also be beaten back to its original shape.

Both results are what Zhao Guangyi is willing to see.

Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed, and said in admiration: "Zhao Aiqing is old enough to seek the country, and she really is my humerus minister."

Hearing this, Zhao Pu got up and cupped his hands and said, "The old minister is His Majesty's minister, so he should share His Majesty's worries."

Zhao Guangyi had an idea in his mind. He turned his head and said to the envoy of Linzhou State: "I have agreed to your Linzhou State's request. Shengzhou, Fengzhou, and Linzhou were originally the old places of Jin State. I can seal you Linzhou State For the Northern Jin Kingdom, do you have any objections?"

It is a taboo thing to change the name of a country for others.

So Zhao Guangyi wanted to ask the envoy of Linzhou State for the meaning.

The envoy of Linzhou State was overjoyed, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said excitedly: "The lord of our country has admired His Majesty for many years, and he also mentioned the matter of granting the country's name to the envoy. It's just that the envoy felt a little abrupt, and I'm afraid I offended His Majesty." , so I have been afraid to mention it.

Now that His Majesty bestowed the name of the country, the envoy thanked His Majesty for his kindness. "

"Hahaha……"

The envoy of Linzhou State acted like a bumpkin who had never seen the world.Faced with Zhao Guangyi's gift, he fell to his knees on the ground.

Zhao Guangyi liked the pleasure of watching others surrender at his feet.

Zhao Guangyi laughed loudly, and after laughing, he said: "Very good. In addition, I will confer the title of Queen of the Northern Jin Dynasty on your country, and enjoy the honor of one-word king. I will also give you a phoenix robe, a red phoenix crown, and a reward of ten thousand gold. "

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty cursed secretly in their hearts.

Shameless.

It is self-evident what kind of thought is there in giving someone a queen's phoenix robe and phoenix crown.

You are a dragon, and you put on a phoenix identity for others?
Why don't you just say something in the imperial edict, I want to get close to you directly.

The whole court knew about Zhao Guangyi's lust.

Regarding Zhao Guangyi's unseemly conferment, civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty still had their own thoughts.

It's just that after they saw the envoys of the New Jin Dynasty and the Northern Jin Kingdom who were moved to tears, they put away their thoughts.

After conferring the Northern Jin Kingdom, Zhao Guangyi left the Chuigong Hall in a happy mood.

Before leaving, he asked Wang Jien to take away the four beauties presented by the new Northern Jin Kingdom.

The envoys of the new Jin Dynasty and the Northern Jin Dynasty immediately followed the chief official of Honglu Temple to receive the imperial edict.

Then he received Zhao Guangyi's reward.

After leaving the palace, he quickly went to the Zhao Mansion to present a silver ticket worth 3 taels of gold.

Then he took his own people non-stop and quickly left Bianjing City.

That night.

Zhao Guangyi was buried together with four beauties from the party in his bedroom.

To add to the fun, he also hired a painter to paint his majestic figure.

It could be seen that Zhao Guangyi was in high spirits tonight.

Zhao Guangyi made trouble until midnight, when he was about to fall asleep with the beauties in his arms.

Wang Jien hurried to the side of the bed, and said softly: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the people from the Imperial City Division have something important to report."

Zhao Guangyi lay on the dragon bed, pinched the beauty beside him, frowned and said: "Just say I'm tired, I've already fallen asleep."

Wang Jien hesitated for a moment, and said solemnly: "The people in the Imperial City Department said that it is urgent."

Zhao Guangyi sat up from the bed, bared his breasts and said irritably, "Let him in. If he has nothing urgent to tell me, I will chop him up and feed him to the dogs."

After a while, under the leadership of the little eunuch, the head of the Imperial City Department entered the bedroom, and then knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Guangyi's dragon bed.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, you ordered your subordinates to investigate the matter of Linzhou Kingdom, and your subordinates have already verified it."

Zhao Guangyi said displeased: "What have you found?"

The leader of the Imperial City Division solemnly said: "According to my subordinates' investigation, Linzhou has been secretly controlled by the Zhe family. Fengzhou and Shengzhou have already fallen into the hands of the Yang family. And the original Dangxiang rebels have also been captured Yang Yansi collected it for his own use. The so-called lord of the state of Linzhou, the saint named Chuxing, seems to have been taken into the mansion by Yang Yansi and became his concubine."

"Oh!"

Zhao Guangyi thumped the dragon head on the dragon bed with disbelief, and asked angrily, "What did you say?"

　Sixteen thousand!Ask for rewards!Ho Ho Ho Ho!
