Chapter 33 The mediation of the Liao Dynasty

Xiao Ying came back from Xixia and met Wang and Yue Li in the tent. It was clear that Liang Luoyao had agreed to the conditions proposed by Wang. Wang saw Xiao Ying's expression that Xiao Ying seemed to be a little worried, but Wang judged that Xiao Ying would not hide such a big thing as the peace talks. Therefore, after the discussion, Wang invited Xiao Ying to himself after the discussion. In the account,

Looking at the waiter setting up a banquet in the tent, Wang side motioned others to leave. There were only Wang side and Xiao Ying in the big tent. Then he asked, "What if King Xiao has to do, you can say it directly."

Xiao Ying said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, since Xixia Liang Luoyao has agreed to the conditions you put forward, I will definitely personally urge this matter to be done completely."

Wang raised his glass with a smile and said, "Then there is King Lao Xiao."

Xiao Ying smiled and said, "There's no need to say that it's hard. I can't go back to Daliao if I can't finish this."

This statement was very modest. Wang looked at Xiao Ying and seemed to read a little helplessness in his subtle expression. The two raised their glasses and drank it all. Wang asked, "If this matter goes well, it is estimated that it will be basically solved in ten days and a half months. I want to ask King Xiao to stay in the Song Dynasty for a while, and I will do my best to go back to the capital with me. It's right for the Lord."

Xiao Ying shook her head: "I don't think that's okay."

Wang asked tentatively, "Oh, is King Xiao still in a hurry to go back to Daliao?"

Xiao Ying was originally very friendly to Wang. He also thought about it. It seemed that he might as well talk to Wang about his concerns, so he said, "I can't stay in the Song Dynasty for the time being. I'm not in a hurry to go back to Daliao, but I can't go back to Daliao for the time being."

Wang filled Xiao Ying's glass with wine and asked, "Brother Xiao's words confused my little brother." Originally, before the king was not a prince, he was familiar with Xiao Ying. When he was in Liaoning, he often regarded his brothers in private. Now he has a few glasses of wine, and there are no outsiders, so there is no need to be so restrained,

Xiao Ying said, "Let me tell you the truth. I can just ask you for an idea. Do you know why I came back so soon when I went to Xixia, and Liang Luoyao agreed to your conditions so happily?"

Wang shook his head, and Xiao Ying continued, "When I set out, I sent my brother's conditions to Daliao. By the time of Xixia, Yelü Yixin had arrived first."

"So, Yelu Yixin has persuaded Liang Luoyao." Wang asked,

Xiao Ying said, "It's not just persuasion. This time, Yelu Yixin came to Xixia with the order of my Taoist emperor and the gold and silver of my Liao Dynasty."

"What." Wang was also surprised when he heard it. Originally, he thought that the State of Liao would talk about peace, but he would still pay for gold and silver. What's the reason?

Xiao Ying drank a glass of wine and filled it for Wang. Then he said, "You are strange. At first, I was also strange. Later, after listening to Yelu Yixin's words, I realized that it was our Taoist emperor. Looking at the grain ticket of Goryeo made Liao make a lot of money." He said, "You can't imagine that 30 million taels of silver have entered the treasury like this. In addition, in the past few years, the income of the treasury has increased due to the increase in taxes in Liaoning. Therefore, the emperor thinks that this is a good way. There is no need to occupy at all, and you have to bother to govern. It's better to follow the example of that year and lend money to Xixia to let They will pay back the interest to Liao in the future.

"Damn it, Emperor Daozong intends to rule the country with usury." After Wang said that, he saw Xiao Ying looking at him in surprise. Wang shook his head and thought that the situation in Xixia was different from that of Goryeo. In history, the coup in Goryeo had to wait until 1170, and there were still a hundred years away, so Wang dared to buy this Goryeo loan. Besides, the last one who paid for the Goryeo loan was not Goryeo, but the Japanese slave country. Of course, the king is sure,

Xixia's situation is different. At present, Xixia's economy is very fragile, and Xixia's civil strife is a common thing. According to the historical information that Wang's side can grasp, Liang Luoyao will usurp power by his brother named Liang Yi Buried in less than a few decades. He said that this is relatively far away. It is that Xixia borrowed money but no one helped her. He paid the bill, and Wang Bong came for Liang Luoyao this time. If Wang Biao turned against him, Liao's investment in Xixia would be wasted,

This is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that Wang has to think about the position of Liao in this matter, and if Wang let Liao's money be wasted, then Song Liao would really turn against him, but he can't say this to Xiao Ying now,

Xiao Ying saw that Wang's side looked a little strange, and she was also puzzled: "Brother Xian, I understand the second half of the sentence. Shit, what do you mean?"

The king immediately came to his senses, raised his glass and said, "Praise, exclamation, praise the emperor, he is smart."

Xiao Ying smiled and said, "The Taoist priest is wise. Shit, I'm going to be a collector at the Daliao Embassy in Xixia."

Wang Zhuan suppressed his smile and lowered his head to drink to hide it. "So, Brother Xiao is going to stay in Xixia."

Xiao Ying nodded and shook her head and said, "The leader of the divination department rebelled. I really don't want to stay. You also said that I rely on Taoism to be smart. I think he is smart and confused for a lifetime. How can this work of Mr. Accounting be what I do? This is just one of my troubles."

One of them, there are two. Third, the king didn't stop Xiao Ying. He filled Xiao Ying with wine, and Xiao Ying drank it all. After these glasses of wine, Xiao Ying opened his heart. He said with a little dissatisfaction, "That Liang Luoyao, I really don't look like our Empress Xiao dignified. This Yelu Yixin is actually teased in the Xixia Palace. After staying for many days, I heard that this woman is very frivolous. Do you think she will confuse my minister of Liao with any beauty tricks?

"This is the second thing that Brother Xiao is worried about. I think Brother Xiao has thought too much. Even if she has an intention, Yelü Yixin may not give him a chance." Even Wang himself didn't believe this, but he just wanted to see Xiao Ying's reaction,

Sure enough, Xiao Ying sneered and said to herself, "I wish I thought more."

Wang saw that he didn't want to say more, so he asked, "What else does Brother Xiao have to worry about?"

Xiao Ying raised her head and looked directly at Wang and said, "This concern is that I came by the order. I also know a little about the virtuous brother. I'm worried that the virtuous brother will go back on his word and I don't believe it."

The king frowned slightly. Xiao Ying's words were too direct, but Wang didn't know how to answer. Wang really thought that he would use Liang Luoyao to Zhenrong to pick up Li Liangzuo's body and destroy Liang Luoyao.

Seeing that Wang did not answer, Xiao Ying smiled and said, "You see, what I said is not wrong. Brother, I advise you that state affairs are state affairs and private affairs are private affairs, but don't worry, if you really have your own plans, I will never blame you as a big brother."

Wang knew that if he went back on his word, the whole thing was equivalent to leaving Xiao Ying behind, but when he thought that his son was destroyed in Liang Luoyao's hands, Wang was really unwilling. Xiao Ying no longer mentioned this matter and talked about other topics. The two continued to drink and chat, as if they had just I didn't say anything just now,

A few days later, the imperial edict was sent to Zhenrong. Because of the protection of the king, Zhe Kejun broke the style and was appointed as the Zhijun of Zhenrong. The king's side was able to protect Zhe Kejun. This was not his wishful thinking. After Wang's resignation, he recommended Zhe Kejun and others to be guards beside Zhao Yu, so Zhe Kejun, Zhang Pingren was also counted as Zhao Yu. I'm very familiar with it, especially in the border area. It's most suitable to have a loyal general like Zhe Kejun.

When the officials in Zhenrong heard the news, they knew that Zhe Kejun was a general beside the king, and they were even more careful. Those officials who wanted to disobey or wait for the king to leave before making plans were also dead. The bodyguards next to the king and the deputy generals in the army congratulated Zhe Kejun with a smile, and more Wang can be happy for the protection of the people around him. It must be right to work hard with the king of Zhennan. Isn't General Zhe an example? Zhe Kejun took office in Zhenrong and told him to follow the king well.

After another two days, it was reported that there was a team in Xixia, holding a white flag and coming to Zhenrong,

The army next to the king stood in the west of Zhenrong. The team in Xixia stopped two or three miles in front of the army. A Kowloon car in the team was particularly conspicuous. Four horses and 50 soldiers escorted from left and right, holding the Kowloon Station in the middle of the Xixia queue,

Next to the king, Yue Li and others were also riding on horseback. Looking at the Xixia team opposite, a person came out of the Xixia team. The king recognized at a glance that it was Li Liangzuo's tent shouting to catch people. He held an oracle of the empress dowager in his hand and went to the middle of the two armies to read it. Wang was too lazy to listen to the specific content, which roughly means Saying that Xixia admitted defeat and made compensation for the Song Dynasty, Wang Biao stared at Fang Dang angrily. Suddenly, Xiao Ying beside him said, "Your Majesty, if you can, let Xixia send the returned old coins and compensation."

The king nodded indifferently, and Xiao Ying said forward, "I am Xiao Ying, the envoy of the State of Liao. I'm here to mediate the dispute between Song and Xia. I hope to do my best. Empress Dowager Xixia, please order your soldiers to present gold and silver."

With little effort, Xixia soldiers drove out several carriages from behind. The carriage was full of boxes. The carriage went to the middle of the two armies. Wang side gave Zhang Ping a look. Zhang Ping came forward with Xiao Ying. The box was full of gold, silver and jewelry. Every box was valuable. Song Jun's soldiers took over the horse with gold and silver boxes. At this time, hundreds of Xixia soldiers came out from behind Song Jun. They also drove a car with Li Liangzuo's coffin,

"Hop down." The king called the driver of Xixia soldiers, turned around and said to the people behind him, "Without my order, I'm really here. I'm going to do some personal things." With that, he followed the coffin to the middle of the two armies and shouted, "Liang Luoyao, come out and pick up your husband in person."

"Your Highness..." Xiao Ying wanted to say something to stop the king. The king said to Xiao Ying, "King Xiao, let Liang Luoyao pick up Li Liangzuo's bones in person. This is not the condition I just added. Since she agrees, let her come over."

Xiao Ying really has nothing to say. All he can do is to be as careful as possible to prevent Liang Luoyao from any accident.

The curtain of the Kowloon car was opened. With the help of the eunuch, Liang Luoyao actually got out of the car and walked towards Li Liangzuo's coffin.
