Chapter 272 The Conditions of the King of Luoyang
Jiao Wentong lay on a big chair with a big umbrella on top of his head. The sun was shining above his head. He squinted and looked at the school yard in front of him from afar. The smoke and dust were rolling and shouting.
Yue Fei has been taking over Xiaoqi for a few days, and Jiao Wentong dragged his injuries to observe his training every day.
The result is very satisfactory.
"The lord is indeed a wise man." Jiao Wentong whispered to himself, "Only when I give the Xiaoqi to a person like Yue Fei can I feel at ease."
"Second brother, do you want to drink water?" Xiao Linglong whispered from the side.
Jiao Wentong waved his hand and said, "I heard that the court sent several messengers to Wutongyuan to urge the lord to enter Beijing. Is there such a thing?"
"Yes." Xiao Linglong replied, "But I don't know what it means to see them at the end of the world."
Jiao Wentong smiled with a deep smile, "The lord is more and more far-sighted, calm and old-fashioned."
"What's the only solution?" Xiao Linglong said curiously, "I asked him why, but he smiled and said nothing. I'm a little annoyed to see him like that!"
"So how many more marks on his neck?" Jiao Wentong laughed.
"I hate it, second brother!" Xiao Linglong blushed like a little daughter and smiled, "That's what he asked for! ... Second brother, you don't know that the rosefinch and the nobleman have been staring at him! If it hadn't been for me, the three of them would have rolled to a **!"
"This is also normal. Why not?" Jiao Wen Channel said, "A man is supposed to be three wives and four concubines, not to mention the dragon and phoenix among people like the master? Let me tell you, although the Lord loves you very much, there are some things that you still have to grasp a good degree. Maybe the master doesn't mean to be a concubine, but outsiders can see that the master is firmly tied by you, which is so detrimental to the lord's prestige. Everyone will think that the Lord is afraid of the inside.
"Who said he was afraid?" Xiao Linglong said anly, "In fact, as long as he opens his mouth, I will not refuse. Although I don't want to share the world with other women, I also know a sense of moderation. It was he who focused on the major affairs of the state and the military world, and he didn't have the leisure to stare at which woman to make an idea.
"Oh?" Jiao Wentong was a little puzzled. "Didn't the rosefinch and the nobles fight very hot with the master before? Why is there no follow-up all of a sudden?
"..." Xiao Linglong was silent for a moment, and a red rhyme quietly floated on her face. "Tianya said that unless he marries me first, there will never be any other woman in his arms."
"So that's it..." Jiao Wentong smiled, "Princess, the lord, you are affectionate and righteous, from beginning to end. In fact, when a man stands at his height, the world's fans can come and go immediately. But what he misses most in his heart is that he still wants to give you a name first. Princess, you must cherish it. Don't have any more different intentions!"
Xiao Linglong trembled gently all over, "What is the second brother talking about? ...Everything about me is his. What's the difference?"
"It's best not to have it." Jiao Wentong nodded meaningfully, "Reliredly, I heard that the Liao country west of Dali is going to take advantage of the emptiness of the Jin Dynasty and join forces with Dali to go east to conquer gold, intending to recover its homeland and rebuild Daliao. Yelu Dashi, the king of the Western Liao Dynasty, is not the one in those years..."
"Second brother, needless to say!" Xiao Linglong suddenly interrupted Jiao Wentong and said firmly, "Da Shi and I are in the past, and we have nothing to do with it!"
"What about the ambition to restore Liao?" Jiao Wentong said again.
Xiao Linglong took a deep breath and sighed gently, as if to be melancholy, "The married daughter is the water spilled out, and I am the daughter-in-law of a Han man. Leave those things about the restoration of the ancestral temple to the Khitan men to do! ...I, not only powerless to help, but also unintentionally involved!"
"It's not true either." Jiao Wentong suddenly changed his words, and the meaning was profound.
Xiao Linglong was stunned, "What does the second brother mean by this?"
Jiao Wentong smiled and said, "Princess, if you don't go to Yelu Dashi, it doesn't mean that Yelü Dashi will not come to you. What's more, your sister Xiaota is not smoking, and she is still the wife of Yelu Dashi. If Yelu Dashi doesn't use this relationship to form an alliance with the lord or ask for help, then he is not the chrysanthemum sweat that spans the western region and the country!"
Chrysanthemum sweat, which means "great sweat" or "sweat in the sweat", which means the king of the king.
Xiao Linglong's face became a little annoyed, "If he dares to come, he will seek his own death!"
"Oh!" Jiao Wentong suddenly smiled, "You hate him so much, is it that you still treat him..."
"Second brother!" Xiao Linglong suddenly shouted, "I repeat, I have been in the past with him. It's just a joke when I was careless. I never took it seriously and it didn't become a fact! Now I'm from the end of the world. I... As a woman, I also gave it to Tianya on the first night!"
"Princess, don't be excited." Jiao Wentong advised Xiao Linglong softly like a gentle elder, "I'm not suspicious of you. I guess that nine out of ten people will be sent to contact you in Xiliao; and this person will not be sent by Yelü Dashi, but probably sent by your sister Xiao Ta. In the name, of course, it is looking for relatives. The purpose is actually to form an alliance to deal with Jin Guo. At this time, I must ask your attitude and position clearly. Don't forget that we are all masters.
"That's what the second brother said... I'm sorry, I was angry for a moment and lost my temper." Xiao Linglong apologized and said, "As my second brother said, if my sister sends someone to come, I will greet her with the courtesy of my sister. If you want to talk about business, please officially send an envoy to the lord. I won't pass it on here."
"No. Not only can you spread it all, but you can also discuss with the master in advance to play a good play of 'war plan'. Jiao Wentong said, "At present, the wall is pushed by everyone. Jin Guo lost the battle and the emptiness in China was the time to beat the water dog. However, the thin camel is bigger than the horse, and the strength and combat strength of the State of Jin should not be underestimated. The master's goal must be to point north of the Yellow River and the sixteen states of Yanyun, and go directly to the nest of the State of Jin, Ningfu. At this time, if a friendly army attacks Hedong and Yunzhong on our flank to contain the Western Court of Wanyan Zongwang, it will be of great benefit to me. I think the lord would be happy to receive him if he saw the messengers from Xiliao and Xixia coming.
"Oh?" Xiao Linglong was stunned, "In this way, the thief of the heavenly killing of Yelu Dashi is a little useful?"
"Use each other. In the end, they may tear each other's faces and have a war. Jiao Wentong said lightly, "So, as your brother and great leader, I must first ask what you think in your heart. Otherwise, you can't get involved in this matter.
"Second brother, I will make a vow in front of you today!" Xiao Linglong raised her palm and looked up to the sky and said, "Yelu Dashi and I are absolutely ruthless. For me, he is just an enemy who killed my father!"
"Okay, second brother, I believe you. You don't have to be so serious. Put your hands down!" Jiao Wentong smiled slightly. The lord had been delaying and refusing to enter Beijing. There must be many layers of intentions. He pulled Wanyan Zongwang in his hand, presumably in preparation for negotiations with the Jin people. If you enter the court, there will be a lot of interference, which will not be conducive to the master. Moreover, at the time of the chaotic order of the court is being rebuilt, the lord deliberately avoids these fights and does not want to erect too many enemies or leave any handle in the minds of the people in the court. A lot of things must have been done by Zong Ze and Xu Han. It won't be long before the lord can sit and enjoy his success into the court and be under one of him and above ten thousand people!"
"The second brother is wise. I also have these conjectures. Xiao Linglong said, "But I always feel that Tianya has other plans. Cao Cheng and those people were so anxious that they were blind all day long and kept urging Tianya to take them to Beijing to be sealed. However, Tianya was not in a hurry. He had nothing to do with Wanyan Zongwang in the barracks all day to make fun of teasing him.
"Haha!" Jiao Wentong laughed and said, "The lord is really not ordinary. Some of his behaviors and ideas are not what ordinary people can guess. That's all. You and I don't have to guess. Everything is under the control of the master. You and I can just wait and see what happens - but this Yue Fei, the master obviously has high expectations for him. Now it seems that he is not disappointed. Although he was only a very low-level military academy before, he was good at training soldiers... very good!"
Xiao Linglong's expression changed slightly. She knows Jiao Wentong too well. The person who can be praised as 'good' by Jiao Wentong must be quite excellent. If the word "ruth" is added, it is no longer amazing.
"Second brother, what do you think..." Xiao Linglong said hesitantly, "Is Tianya deliberately promoting Yue Fei and giving him the most elite Xiaoqi? Do you want him to do great things?"
Jiao Wen smiled and said, "If you look at Luoyang, you will know."
"Luoyang?" Xiao Linglong was stunned and suddenly realized, "Liu Ziyu?"
"Yue Fei is the second Liu Ziyu in our army." Jiao Wen Channel said, "Maybe he will be ten times better than Liu Ziyu!"
In the handsome account, Chu Tianya is playing chess with Wanyan Zongwang again.
Wanyan Zong looked full of shame and angry. He held the chess and wanted to play, but he didn't want to. Because he knew that whether he lost or won, he would be humiliated and molested by Chu Tianya, either with black ink on his face or stickers on his forehead. Of course, if he refuses to play chess, Chu Tianya will throw him into the horse's ring and sleep for two nights.
Wanyan Zongwang was about to die angrily. He really can't figure out how a hero who is famous all over the world and leads all armies can be as boring as a urchin in the market?
"Lord, Xu Han sent someone to ask again, when will the Lord enter Beijing?" Liuhe came into the account and whispered in Chu Tianya's ear, "Do you give me a reply?" Or meet this messenger?"
"Bear the messenger to eat and drink." Chu Tianya only answered this sentence.
"Yes." Liuhe answered and went out quietly.
Wanyan Zongwang stared at Chu Tianya angrily and puzzledly, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I'll play chess with you!" Chu Tianya said easily, "Why don't you fall? Are you afraid of losing?"
"Bullshit! How many sets have you won in the past few days? Wanyan Zongwang was humiliated for a few days, and his temper was always at the critical point of the outbreak. He shouted angrily and fell.
"Haha, you lost!" Chu Tianya lost a son and made a judgment on victory or defeat.
Wanyan Zongwang looked at the chessboard coldly, closed his eyes and waited for the sticker.
"Forget it, that's all for today. Come on, send the second prince to freshen up and eat. Chu Tianya patted his knees and stood up with a smile, "I have to meet an important person."
Wanyan Zongwang knew that Chu Tianya deliberately told him that this "important person" must have something to do with him.
"Is the envoy of the Great Gold Kingdom coming?"
"The second prince is really smart." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "I don't want to see anyone recently. Except for the envoys of the State of Jin.
Wanyan Zongwang's expression suddenly became extremely complicated and fell silent.
"Your Highness the Second Prince, shouldn't you be happy? Maybe you will soon be able to return to the Kingdom of Jin. Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Of course, if the conditions offered by Jin Guo can satisfy me."
"What conditions do you want?"
"It's none of your business." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "You are just a prisoner now."
Wanyan Zong was so angry that he couldn't speak, like a gas-filled ball and left angrily.
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Come on, go and call Shi Liai, the master of the State of Jin, who is about to fall asleep!"
"Yes!"
Shi Liai has been here for two days, but Chu Tianya refused to see him. He only locked him in the tent to eat and sleep, but no one paid attention to him, just like a captive lamb. Previously, he was ordered by Wanyan Zonghan to send an envoy to the Song Dynasty. First, he went to Tokyo to find the court of the Song Dynasty and said that he would mediate the dispute between the two countries through negotiation and exchange it for the captured second prince Wanyan Zongwang.
As a result, the Wen Wu of the Manchu Dynasty in the Song Dynasty, including the officials, were vague about him and could not be determined at all. Finally, he told Shi Liai: You'd better go to Wutongyuan to negotiate with the King of Luoyang! - Now that he doesn't say anything, the clan and Xu Xiang dare not make any opinions, and the officials have no idea. What's more, the hostage you want has also been transferred to the military camp of Wutongyuan by the King of Luoyang!
Shi Li Ai sighed - no matter how early it is, what's the use? Chu Tianya has not officially entered the government, but he has been strong enough to start first and control everything that can be controlled first.
"This man's wrist is really awesome!"
With such emotion and trembling, Shi Liai came to Wutongyuan.
This is not the first time that Shi Li'ai has made an envoy to the Song Dynasty. Last time he sent an envoy to Taiyuan on behalf of the Western Court, and he once saw Chu Tianya, who pretended to be a petan official. At that time, Taiyuan was as powerful as an egg, and the Kingdom of Jin was like the sky. What was the scenery and confidence of the great gold messenger at that time? In just half a year, Shi Liai went to the Song Dynasty again, but it was a completely opposite scene. He not only lost his confidence and scenery, but also asked for help with a low smile, and was even coldly treated and provoked.
"No matter what, he is finally willing to see me..." Hearing that Chu Tianya wanted to see him, Shi Liai's heart was both happy and helpless.
After entering the account, Shi Liai first paid a formal visit to Chu Tianya with the gift of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
"Mr. Shi, we meet again." Chu Tianya smiled relaxedly and said, "Don't be formal, please sit down. This is not the court of the Song Dynasty, and I'm not the king of a country. I'm just a grass bandit who occupies the mountain as the king - come on, drink!"
Shi Liai smiled bitterly and had to sit down.
Three sea bowls full of wine were served in front of Shi Li Ai.
"Please drink a full drink, sir!" Chu Tianya said, "When you enter the countryside, follow the customs. We are vulgar. We only wait for this way of hospitality, which is to make guests not drunk!"
"Okay..." People had to ask for help under the eaves. What's more, Shi Liai came to ask for help, so he had to drink the three sea bowls of wine.
Everyone was a little surprised. Why did this thin middle-aged man drink so much? Even if it's water, how big should it take to put all this wine into it?
"Thank you, Luoyang Wang Meiyi." Shi Liai drank so much wine, but she could still stand firm and speak clearly and unambiguous.
"Good drinking!" Chu Tianya praised, "Sir, come from afar. I don't know what's going on?"
"Since the king of Luoyang asked directly, the young student will answer directly." Shi Liai said calmly, "I came here to represent the Kingdom of Dajin and want to have peace talks with the Song Dynasty."
"Whether it's peace or not, I have no problem with it. Of course, the soldier is not good at fighting, and it would be best if they could make peace. Chu Tianya said, "Don't beat around the bush. What benefits can you give us?"
Shi Liai took a deep breath, "Return all the land under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan Prefecture in Hedong, and return it to Zhending, Hejian, Zhongshan and other Hebei counties."
"Is that all?" Chu Tianya curled his lips and said, "I said, don't beat around the bush, let alone hide. Am I the Confucian students in the court? I'm a bandit and a mountain thief. I'm impatient!"
Shi Liai took a deep breath again, resisted the imminent anger stimulated by alcohol, and asked, "Why don't you ask the King of Luoyang to tell me what the Song Dynasty wants before he is willing to reconcile and return His Royal Highness the Second Prince and other captured soldiers of our Dajin Kingdom?"
"Hey hey!" Chu Tianya suddenly smiled, which was both devious and evil.
There are bursts of love, thinking about what the hell is this naughty guy doing?
"I want a lot of things. Does Mr. Shi have the patience to listen to it one by one? Chu Tianya said.
"Please ask the king of Luoyang to show me. I must listen carefully." Shi Liai solemnly bowed his hand and bowed.
"Okay, I'll tell you. Liuhe, write it down." Chu Tianyadao.
"Yes, my lord."
Chu Tianya stood up and walked slowly and said, "The first thing I want is that there is another person in addition to the Taiyuan Mansion and the three towns in Hebei that Mr. Shi just said."
"Who is it?"
"He is a Han man and the mastermind of the Western Court of the State of Jin. His name is... Shi Li Ai!"
Shi Liai's expression suddenly froze, and it can also be said that she was stunned.
"What, how many strong men have you arrested in the Song Dynasty over the years?" Chu Tianya looked stunned, "I want to be alone, and you won't give it to me?"
"This..." Shi Li Ai, who has always been elegant, has a bitter face turned into a cucumber. "King Luoyang, please don't laugh."
"I'm not laughing. I'm serious." Chu Tianya looked at Shi Liai seriously. "Unless Jin Guo agrees, there is no need to talk about it. Mr. Shi, please think about it carefully - someone, send Mr. Shi down to have a rest. He drank too much.
Shi Li Ai's wine seemed to be all on the way at this moment, and he collapsed on the ground, and he couldn't wake up.
