Shao Song - Vol 2.3 Chapter 37

“What is this?”

At noon, the autumn wind was bleak by the broken leaves and the wildfire was gradually extinguished. Xiao Ta, who was dressed in plain clothes, smokeless and slightly reddish eyes, looked at Xiao Wu Lila in front of him with caution.

“Return to the Queen Mother.”

The Great King of the Sixth Academy of the West Liao Dynasty and the Marshal of Soldiers and Horses, Xiao Wuli, lowered his head to face each other. “This is when the first emperor was present, and the correspondence between the emperor of the Song Dynasty was collected…every year, the first emperor personally replaced the old key with a new lock, and put the letter from the previous year in… On the day of bone reincarnation, if the queen mother is there, you must watch the queen mother with the ministers. If the queen mother is not there, your majesty must personally inform him, and then the minister will read it to your majesty.”

Xiao Ta Buyan relaxed slightly, and at the same time, remembering that her husband did have a bunch of keys before his death, he hurried to get them.

However, just as the monarch and his subjects were waiting for the keys, although there were nearly a hundred civil and military officials and thousands of soldiers on the scene, they still fell into a kind of nervous and sad silence.

Of course, the sadness is because today is the actual cremation and skeletal gathering ceremony of Yelu, the tenth emperor of the Liao Kingdom, who was actually the founding monarch of the West Liao Dynasty.

However, the tension stems from the mutual fear of the two most powerful people present at this time. The young emperor Yeluyilie is still young. The Queen Mother Xiao Ta is not just standing upright, and Xiaowu Lila can only stay together. Hold the box still on his side.

In all fairness, Xiao Yulila and Xiao Ta Buyan are very familiar with each other. A queen who believes most in Yelü Dashi, who has been in charge of power when Yelü Dashi is out for more than ten years, is the most trusted minister of Yelü Dashi and serves as a soldier. Marshal Madu and the Great King of the Sixth Academy… And both parties were still children and their relatives, Yelu Dashi, had only one son and one daughter, so the daughter pointed out Xiao Wu Lila’s eldest son… There is no reason to be unfamiliar.

Even further, both surnames are Xiao, although they are not close to the same clan, they are from the same family as Shulu Xiao, and they have incense. And when Xiao Ta was able to become a queen when Yelu Dashi first said sweat on the same day, it was unavoidable to have the help of Xiao Wu Lila, the No. 2 founder during the founding of Xiliao.

However, now and then also.

Now, Yelv Dashi, who had long been unable to hold his body due to years of fighting and running around, died of illness. His son was young and Xiao Ta Buyan. According to the tradition of the Liao State, the heroine was in power and changed the Yuan Xian Qing. The first thing he must face is the biggest problem The stabilizing factor and the most direct threat is precisely Xiao Wu Lila, the great king of the Sixth Academy and Marshal Marshal.

It must be known that the Western Liao state system follows the old Daliao system, and is divided into two major streams, the north and the south, and the central official in the north. Under the system of Xiliao, it is basically a mixture of the Han system center and the Khitan palace tent system. Directly governs the capital Husioruduo and most of the so-called old people such as the Khitan Xi Han Jurchen and Nanliu as the dispatcher, who is directly responsible for Gaochang, East Karakhan, Xikara Khan, and Hualazi. Dozens of subordinate countries, large and small, including models.

The internal and external diversion and prevention are still obvious.

Under this circumstance, Xiaowu Lila was not only the marshal of soldiers and horses, but also the great king of the Sixth Academy who ruled the royal family. His power is self-evident.

Of course, the prestige of Yelu Dashi himself as the founding monarch who has traveled thousands of miles cannot be added. His widow and orphans are also supported by the palace army and the root tribe.

All in all, the master is suspicious of the country, the queen is in the court, the power ministers are in the army, and the country is so special…and they can’t help being so embarrassed.

The key was delivered quickly, and the awkward silence was broken. The surrounding Khitan nobles, including several Xihan Jurchen close ministers, also pricked their ears early, wondering what the first emperor Yelu Dashi and the Zhao Song official said.

The lock of the box was successfully opened, and there were twelve stacks of letters containing a total of more than a hundred letters, and some letters were extraordinarily thick.

I read the first letter in order, and it turned out that the Zhao Song official sent Hu Hongxiu, who is now the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, to come and form an alliance, and the famous letter Zhao Song official who invited to attack Xixia directly called Yelu Dashi and the Xiliao tribe as a bereavement dog. The people present at that time included the Marshal of the Xiliao Capital Xiao Wu Lila and Liang Jiaying, the envoy of the Song Dynasty to Xiliao who had also appeared in the morning. Everyone knew about it.

But there are others who don’t know…At this time, when they read it, everyone realized that the official family also claimed to be a bereaved dog in the letter.

The past, considering the later achievements of the two emperors, has already become a legend, but one of the protagonists in the story just died, but all the others are still there, and there seems to be some secrets… It’s sad, and it has a wonderful epic meaning.

All in all, since these letters are written by the most noble person in the world to the second noble person, they must also contain a certain amount of retelling of the last words of the first emperor, so no one dares to underestimate the political meaning of these letters, but there are too many letters and content. It’s too complicated, so after the discussion between Xiao Ta Buyan and Xiao Wu Lila, several recent ministers who were proficient in writing came forward to assist in reading and sorting.

But even so, from noon to the dim sky, I didn’t finish reading before Yelvda Shigu.

Therefore, everyone had to seal the box again, but the empress dowager held the box, and the general marshal held the key. After agreeing to return to the palace, they will come to read together the next day. At the moment, the first emperor’s bones will be returned to the city. Departure and be buried in Linhuang Mansion according to the last words of the first emperor.

At noon the next day, the letter was finally read through. But to speak of conscience, most of the letters are actually stinky and long… They are full of the Zhao official’s messy narrative, from regular greetings to some messy poems, from some triumphant Zhao Song Dynasty policies to the implementation of The parents complained shortly that there were even some strange hand-painted animals inside.

Of course, there are indeed some famous examples of the two emperors, such as the famous Jianyan Northern Expedition eight years ago, and the process that the official spent seven years repairing the Yellow River and moving the capital.

There was even a letter that clearly recorded the Zhao Song official’s words to encourage the Western Liao Emperor Yelü Dashi to let go and fight with the Seljuk Turks in order to settle the Xihai hegemony.

If it weren’t for this letter, the core ministers of Xiliao, including Xiao Ta Buyan and Xiao Wu Lila, would have never imagined that Yelu Dashi, the first emperor who commanded Ruo Ding and was full of confidence in the war of the day, had actually paid it back a few months before the start of the war. He was so worried about the strength of the Seljuk Turks that he was hesitant to avoid the battle, and then waited for Zhao Song’s reinforcements.

As for the last letter, it is even more emotional. There is only one sentence in the letter:

“The reeds on the banks of the old capital are blooming, Brother Dashi can come back slowly.”

Combining the date and the previous text, I think of the situation of Zhao Song sending the medicine at that time, but everyone does not know it. This is because Yelu Dashi feels that there is not much time and wants to return to his hometown. The result or the sudden onset of illness may be due to The overall situation in Xiliao was stable, and finally gave up this decision and instead asked for cremation to gather his own bones and bury them in Linhuang Mansion.

“The Aijia still doesn’t understand.”

Xiao Ta was silent for a long time before putting down the last letter, then looked around and asked seriously. “Why did the first emperor want us to read these letters?”

There was also a period of silence in response to the queen mother.

“Queen Mother.”

After a while, someone still spoke, but it was the Taishi slave under the deputy commander of the Yuqian Fuxin Department. “The minister took the liberty to listen attentively just now and noticed that there are two important places…”

“Speak carefully.” Xiao Ta Buyan immediately raised his eyebrows.

“First of all, it was the Zhao Song officials who asked for the homeland of Xixia in the six states of Hexi after my great victory… The words in the letter were casual, and from the follow-up letters, the first emperor did not hesitate… I want to come to this matter and what I thought in the past. It’s not the same, it’s an unannounced agreement between the two majesty.” There is still an exiled master slave with tattoos on his cheeks carefully analyzing. “This should be to remind us not to take this matter as a humiliation and to care too much.”

Xiao Ta Buyan thought for a while. There was no words for a while, but he just went to see other people. After seeing other people’s civil and martial arts, whether Jurchen or Han people, they nodded, then he nodded:

“Yes, it’s so interesting…what else?”

“One more thing is that your Majesty felt sick last year and was worried for a while. Although the Zhao Song official family’s reply letter contained a lot of condolences, but more importantly, the letter actually added a warning…combined with this. After the letter was sealed, the first emperor immediately launched the eradication of the three surname Ye Hu… Thinking about it, the first emperor not only recognized the meaning of the Zhao Song official family, but also realized that the words of the Zhao Song official family were by no means a trifle. The Song official family maintained the bottom line of the unification of the two countries and even the Liao Dynasty…”

“Fetch that letter.” Xiao Ta Buyan gave an order after hearing the words.

But after a while, a nearby minister immediately picked up the letter, found the paragraph, and read it in public:

“Brother Dashi is so shabby? The vastness of the Turks means that the Turkic ancestry is prosperous? The fact is that the Turks have ruled the Haixi for hundreds of years, and have been condescending. Therefore, the wild species of miscellaneous Husbands must not be attached. Then there is the breeding of Turkicization. As for the eyes, they are like three surnames Ye Hu is also a Turkic person.

Compared with the likes, China also has them. The former Xianbei is strong, Gaohuan the Chinese species and learns Xianbei, and the Chinese is deep, Liu Yuan and Yuwentai Hu are all learn the sinicization. Why is Song Liao a country of brothers today? The mutual support lies in the fact that Brother Dashi communicates with Zhen in Chinese, in the palace, he speaks Chinese, and in Daliao, everyone knows Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism…

If one day, Brother Dashi is truly unpredictable, and all Liao accounts abandon Han and follow Hu, and Confucianism from Iraq… Then although the two countries are counted by blood, they will also be enemies of life and death! Even though Brother Yu is not talented, he can also mention one hundred thousand people in Eastern and Western Mongolia, imitating Brother Dashi’s move to the west to clean up the West Sea!

On the contrary, although Brother Dashi is not against the destiny, and the Xihai River is in order, and the palace is in accordance with the law of the ancestors, although the Daliao is in danger of overthrowing, the foolish brother can also mention 100,000 people to help the river and make the Liao Dynasty Guo Zuo keeps on, and Yelu’s bloodline keeps on!

This so-called fundamental thing can not be said to be unpredictable! ”

After listening to it, everyone became more serious and discussed a little bit. They all felt that this was the reason why Yelu Dashi must be seen by everyone.

As for the previous negligence, it was because most of the people present were the old people, that is, they came from the east… Regardless of how they came here, they came with Yelu Dashi at the beginning, or they defected later, or they were master slaves. This kind of deportation, and even the prisoners of war, all spoke Chinese and believed in the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. This has always been the case, so this incident was not taken as a warning.

“What does King Xiao think?” Xiao Ta kept thinking about it and looked at Xiao Wu Lila.

Xiao Wu Lili was silent for a while, and then said sincerely: “Queen dowager, Shuchen said bluntly, in fact, the meaning of the first emperor is already obvious, but the generals such as Taishinu and others are not straightforward, so they can only say half and leave half. …Actually, Emperor Xian had only two meanings.”

This time it was Xiao Ta’s turn to wait silently.

And Xiao Wu Lila didn’t sell it, he just went on after a short meal:

“For one thing, the Song-Liao alliance is the foundation of the nation and cannot be easily shaken… The so-called Hexi six states story, the first emperor’s bones returned to Linhuang Mansion, the warnings of eradicating the three surnames Ye Hu, and Zhao Guanjia’s hundreds of thousands of people, all meant this… so the ministers I thought that while adhering to the country’s great governance, I might as well take a gesture and ask the emperor of Zhao Song’s official family to seal over. Forced.”

“Then send an envoy to take charge of this matter, and return to the east with the bones of the first emperor.” Empress Dowager Xiao thought about it for a while, and immediately responded.

“Queen dowager is clear.” Xiao Wu Lila hurriedly responded.

“This one should be half of what the king said, so what is it that dare to ask half of it?” Xiao Ta Buyan continued to ask.

“Please tell the Queen Mother… the covenant is as solid as between Song and Liao, and there are still hundreds of thousands of words. Then dare to ask the Queen Mother, I am located in the West Sea, what is the foundation of the country?” Xiao Wu Lila asked earnestly.

Xiao Ta didn’t smoke when he heard the words, and finally laughed, and then again mourned for a while: “The Aijia understands the meaning of the first emperor, and also knows the great pains of the great king and all his officials…”

At this point, Queen Mother Xiao, who was still in the middle of nowhere, stood up, looked around, and said sternly: “As everyone knows, the name of the dynasty is Daliao Tongxu, but it is actually a long journey to re-establish the country. Last year, the account was counted, and the tiger was thinking about it. There are only two hundred and forty thousand households in Duojiu, and with two hundred and forty thousand households to dominate the realm of ten thousand miles, it is naturally trembling like walking on thin ice. And the biggest reliance outside, that is, the ally of Song Dynasty has the words of a hundred thousand people. It can be seen that the alliance is certainly important, but foreign affairs are only foreign affairs after all, and the real internal reliance is only on us… Zhu Qing, the first emperor let us read these letters, although it is to remind us that we must maintain the covenant, but more importantly, it is I’m afraid that after he left, UU read www.uukanshu.com to fight for power and lose the spirit of unity and move thousands of miles to build the country, and even lead to civil unrest and self-defeating buildings, so I am specially alert!”

“Queen Mother Shengming!”

After hearing this, the city marshal Xiao Wuli immediately stepped back and knelt down towards the Queen Mother Xiao on the spot. Then he took the dagger from his waist, opened his palm, and pointed to the sky: “The country is lost, the first emperor has gone tens of thousands of miles away. Then there is the foundation in the Xihaihe River, the minister and the dog of the family, received the great favor of the first emperor, followed the western expedition, was named a marshal, and ranked as a great king… In this life, the bones and blood of the first emperor must be regarded as orthodox. If you die, you can’t return to your hometown to be buried!”

The rest of the ministers and officials all woke up, no matter the Khitan Xi Han Jvzhen Bohai, they knelt down and swear to show unity.

After April, in the mid-winter season, Zhao Jiu waited for the coffin of Yelv Dashi in Yanjing. He was out of town to greet him personally, but in addition to many anticipated foreign affairs, he was surprised to receive it. A reply.

When I opened the letter, there was only a few words.

As the saying goes:

“The flowers on the Moshang bloom, and they should come back slowly, but when the mountains are difficult to pass, who will be the one who has lost his way?”

There are two inscriptions, namely: Daliao Empress Dowager Xiao Ta Buyan Jingan, and Daliao Soldier Madu Marshal Xiao Wuli La.

After reading it, Zhao Jiu recovered enough after the cold wind was silent for a stick of incense, and then only calmly put away the letter, he reviewed the accompanying deputy envoy of the Privy Council Yue Fei:

“Although Dashi is dead, the fortune of the West Liao Dynasty has not declined, it is better to determine Dali first.”

Naturally, Yue Fei said yes.
