The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Ye Lidulan has been very busy recently. Although the Tibetan family has been killed, the national power has been greatly lost, and rumors from the top and bottom of the court have also sprung up, and the fire cannot be contained. Lan Zeng ordered that all the Gan people be silenced, but there are always some smart people who saw Yuan Hao killed and immediately took advantage of the chaos to escape, spreading what they saw and heard, and when they fled to Dingzhou without hiding the truth, it was even more difficult. This matter was widely publicized, causing public opinion in Xia Kingdom to be raging.

Ye Lidulan killed a large number of people who spread messages. Although it calmed down on the surface, it could only block the momentum of public discussion, but it was difficult to contain the internal slander of the people and officials; in the end, Ye Lidulan would not go Regardless of this, the situation has been brought under control, and the country of Great Xia has gradually stabilized. This matter will subside sooner or later. Now, trying to cover it up is actually fueling the flames. As long as people ignore it or admit it, people will say it behind their backs. hurt the overall situation

The Prime Minister Zhang Yuan was right. The people are actually most concerned about their livelihoods, and the officials are most concerned about their interests and rights. As long as these two aspects are done well, the rumors will eventually disappear on their own. After the "rebellion" of Tibetans and Pangs, the ministers were generously rewarded, and the quotations of the emperor's kindness were widely distributed. As long as the officials of the Great Xia were not from the Tibetan and Pangs, almost all of them were promoted to a higher level. Important figures in important departments were rewarded more generously, so as to stabilize officials. heart of

However, it is not easy for the millions of people in Daxia to please them. After the civil strife, it becomes more and more difficult to make a living. If you want to stabilize the emotions of the people, the first thing is to solve their food and clothing, and Xia Guo has already been able to powerless

Ye Li Dulan naturally thought of asking for foreign aid, and Su Jin was naturally the first to think of foreign aid. With the current relationship with Su Jin, it should not be a problem to ask Su Jin to help a batch of grain and cloth from the Song Dynasty; , Yeli Dulan was planning to send someone to ask Su Jin to agree to help this matter, but Su Jin took the initiative to invite him to meet in the central city of the Yeli tribe, which saved a lot of trouble [

Ye Lidulan is now the queen mother, completely controlling the government, just like a generation of queens, returning to the Yeli tribe to visit relatives is naturally full of pomp and honor. For the Yeli tribe, this is also a big day. Since the two Yeli kings passed away Afterwards, the whole family of the Yeli tribe mourned and rarely had such a beautiful time. Now that the queen mother returns, it is natural that the people gather to worship

Su Jin was very puzzled. After the jungler Lidulan arrived, he couldn't even see him for two days, and he couldn't show his face in the crowded scene. He chose to meet in the wilderness village to avoid leaking his whereabouts. "Lu", this Queen Mother Yeli is good, the big shop and the big waves make a sea of ​​people, everywhere people can still hang out in the city, but now they can only hold back in the house; fortunately, Yeli Duanyun and Li Ali come from time to time Come to visit and talk, hug and tease a few words, otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to go crazy

In the evening of the second day, the Empress Dowager Yeli finally had enough of her addiction and sent someone to invite Su Jin to have an audience with her. , if you don’t want to see me, I’ll give up.”

The servant who came to deliver the letter was taken aback. Seeing that Su Jin was dressed like an ordinary Dangxiang herdsman, but he spoke so loudly, he thought to himself: I am afraid this kid doesn’t want to live anymore. Since you don’t want to live, I won’t stop you , as long as I give the exact words, the Queen Mother will be furious, and cut off the head of this ignorant boy at that time

The servant really delivered the exact words, but the strange thing is that instead of getting angry, the queen mother showed a look of panic on her face, and drove forward regardless of her tired orders.

When the Empress Dowager Yeli entered the guest house where Su Jin lived, Su Jin was barefoot, Ah Li sat down and helped him pinch his feet, Yeli Duanyun was serving him with a cup of tea, the Empress Dowager Yeli saw this situation There was sadness in Jing's heart, these two ladies were deceived by lard, it was not appropriate to be a good princess, and they insisted on following this kid as a girl, and this kid Su Jin had a look of course, Ye Lidulan was furious I can't wait to ask someone to drag this kid out immediately and cut off his brothers and feet

But Ye Lidulan didn't do this, not only didn't do it, but put a smile on his face, and didn't care that Su Jin didn't get up to salute at all, waved his followers back, stepped forward with his hands clasped and smiled: "I heard that Master Su Angry, is it because Ai’s family didn’t meet you in time? Didn’t Ai’s family come to see you in person? This is a shame.”

Li Ali brought the brocade stool and asked the Queen Mother Yeli to sit down. The Queen Mother Yeli sat down and looked at Su Jin with a smile.

Su Jin arched his hands as a return gift, but his buttocks did not leave the couch, and said indifferently: "Queen Yeli, I am not an idle person. I have a lot of things at hand. The visit has been delayed for more than ten days, but the Empress Dowager is busy meeting others after she arrives, so she doesn't take me seriously, shouldn't I be angry?"

Ye Li Duanyun said softly: "Isn't my aunt here? Now my aunt is involuntary, and she came back in the name of visiting relatives. Naturally, she wants to pay respects to her ancestors and meet her old friends. Don't blame my aunt."

Su Jin rolled his eyes at Ye Li Duanyun and said: "Do you know why I came here? It would be fine if it was an ordinary time. If this matter is delayed, your entire Xia Kingdom will perish. I am worried for the Queen Mother. On the contrary, it’s not mine anymore.”

Yeli Duanyun blushed and said: "Okay, okay, don't get angry, I blamed you wrong, okay?"

Ari also said: "Yes, Ari will pinch your feet for a month to make amends, okay? Why don't you give mother face?"

Ye Lidulan was surprised and said: "Listen to your tone, did something serious happen?"

Su Jindao: "Of course it's a big event, and it's a big event. The Liao people informed me Da Song last month that they would launch a war against your Xia country. Do you think this is big enough?"

"What?" Ye Lidulan shook his body, and said in confusion: "The Liao people want to attack me in Daxia? How is this possible? Before I came, the Liao people sent envoys to Xingqing Mansion to congratulate the new emperor on his enthronement , this...how could..."

Yeli Duanyun and Li Ari heard the news from Su Jin for the first time, and they both stared at Su Jin with their eyes wide open in fright.

Su Jin said: "I'm just here to tell you the truth of the matter. If you don't believe me, there's nothing you can do. Not only are the Liao people going to attack you, but the Liao people also invited me, Song Dynasty, to join us in sending troops to divide up your land. The time is set at the end of November; I I came here all the way to tell you the news, and I chose to meet here to hide my eyes and ears, so as not to be noticed by others; I didn’t expect the Queen Mother to be so busy with trivial matters that she didn’t bother to see me.”

Ye Lidulan has changed from being stunned to being panicked. Since Su Jin said so, she couldn't help but not believe it. How could Su Jin joke about such a big event [

"This is really bad news. The Liao people united with the Song State to attack my Great Xia. I am afraid that my Great Xia will perish." Ye Lidulan was at a loss, his hands and feet were weak, and he had no strength to speak: "But you Are you here to inform Ai's family and take Duanyun and the others to seek refuge in Song?"

Su Jin shook his head and said, "That's not true. What is the queen mother's plan after hearing the news?"

Ye Lidulan said: "What is the plan of the Ai family? To put it bluntly, it is the joint attack of the Liao and Song Dynasties, even if any country attacks, we will do our best to deal with it; the time you choose is clever, it is the time when my great summer is at the end of its waters. This time, I’m afraid it’s doomed.”

Su Jin smiled and said: "Since when did the queen mother become so negative? This is not the queen mother's behavior style."

Ye Lidulan took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for coming all the way to inform me of the news. The Ai family knows that you can do nothing about this matter. It is already taking a huge risk to come to inform me secretly."

Su Jin said: "Has the queen mother given up? Don't you intend to fight?"

Ye Lidulan took a deep breath and said: "Maybe it's God's will, Daxia's anger has come to an end, the Ai family is a girl, it is really hard to recover, but the Ai family does not intend to easily take advantage of the invading enemy and fight to the death You have to fight, no matter if you are from the Liao Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, if you want to occupy my Great Xia, you have to pay a heavy price."

Su Jin shook his head and said, "It's just an increase in casualties. If I were you, on the day the Song and Liao troops attacked, I would declare surrender, so as not to lose my life."

Ye Lidulan's face turned pale, and he said with a sharp laugh: "You think beautifully, and you want to take my Daxia's great rivers and mountains without paying a single cent. It's a wishful thinking; our party members never Fear of death, even if you fight to the last person, you will never let the enemy win easily..."

Su Jin spread his hands and said, "But what's the point of that?"

Ye Lidulan pointed at Su Jin and said, "Oh... Aijia understands, so you didn't come here to send news, but to persuade you to surrender. If it weren't for the fact that you have been kind to my Yeli clan, Aijia should treat you Take it, Mr. Su brings a letter to you Emperor Song Guogou, please rest assured that not only will the members of our party not surrender, but will fight to the last person.

Su Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly, before he could speak, Ye Lidulan had already stood up and was about to leave, Su Jin hurriedly shouted: "The queen mother stays, I have something to say"
