Song Gexing

Chapter 277: Dun will also defile himself
Xiao Fengyi has Han blood. This is just talk. It does exist, but it has been diluted over several generations.

Xiao Guanyin was right, because brother Xiao Bodhisattva's father married Han Kuangrang's daughter and Han Derang's niece.

Therefore, Brother Xiao Bodhisattva is half Han Chinese, but how much of it can be passed down to the grandniece's generation.

Zhao Fang visited her that night. She was indeed very beautiful. She was one of those thick-faced beauties, which actually did not fit Zhao Fang's taste.

But what Xiao Guanyin said was right. She had strong capital and was indeed Zhao Fang's favorite type. She didn't stop until midnight.

Of course, he didn't forget the gossip during the intimacy, and he still learned the whole story from her mouth. It turned out that she was not caught at all and burned down her house. Yelu Hongji got the news that she burned herself to death.

The rest of the matter will be simple. After all, the Xiao family is also the top family in the Liao Kingdom. Hiding a woman is nothing, not to mention that the Xiao family has never followed Yelu Zhongyuan in rebellion.

Yelu Hongji even had no reason to raid Xiao's house. Xiao Fengyi, who had escaped from death, stayed cautiously for two years, and then began to look for opportunities to leave Zhongjing.

This time, Yelu Hongji's head was caught in the door, and he came up with the idea of ​​sending beauties to Zhao Fang, and the ones he chose were the wives and daughters of the culprits in the rebellion.

The Xiao family will naturally not miss this opportunity. It is not difficult for the Xiao family to find a place in the Jiaofang Division. After all, it is a family that has produced two generations of queens, and one of them is the most famous queen in the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Yanyan.

The Xiao family has no shortage of relationships, power, and money. As for what will happen if their daughter goes to the Song Dynasty, they are not worried.

Because once the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty know Xiao Fengyi's identity, they will definitely treat her well. This is one of the bargaining chips in the future.

Their bet was right. Zhao Fang canonized Xiao Fengyi as a talented person the next day. He was indeed treating her well, but the reason was not what the Xiao family thought.

Zhao Fang would not like someone just because his wife's family power could be exploited. He treated Xiao Fengyi well because he liked her as a person.

It has the same murder weapon as Li Yuhu, but also has long legs and a big butt that Li Yuhu doesn't have. He grew up on a pony, and his riding skills are superb.

There was an extra talented person in the palace, but the outer court didn't care at all, and no one spread the news. Therefore, the Liao envoys didn't know that Xiao Fengyi was actually in the palace.

The next step was to argue with each other. The Liao State had no objection to the modification of the Chanyuan Alliance, and even agreed to the Liao State sending New Year coins to the Song Dynasty.

But the Liao Kingdom asked the Song army to return to their original positions and return the occupied areas to them. How could the Song Dynasty agree?

It is argued that those areas originally belonged to the Song Dynasty, including parts of Nanjing Road and Tokyo Road in the Liao Kingdom.

Naturally, the two sides broke up. The Sixteen States of Yanyun were the most difficult problem to solve between Song and Liao. It was impossible for the Liao to give up, and the Song was even less likely to give up.

Only then did Yelu Hongji regret that he had been blind and exchanged Yunnei Prefecture to the Song Dynasty, which posed a great threat to the Liao Kingdom's control of the west.

After arguing every day for half a month, another piece of bad news finally came back to Bianjing. Yelu Hongji was dumbfounded.

It turned out that the Song Army and the Liao Kingdom had ceased war, but Zhang Dun's fight against Goryeo did not stop. This had nothing to do with the Liao Kingdom's war situation, and he did not pay attention to it.

Ten days ago, the King of Goryeo was captured alive by the Song army. The royal children fled to sea and were intercepted by the Song navy. They were all captured alive and surrendered.

Zhang Dun even said in the letter that he packed up the female relatives of the Goryeo royal family and some important ministers' families and sent them back to the Song Dynasty to warm Zhao Fang's bed. What he said was high-sounding.

At this time, the officials exploded and wrote letters to impeach Zhang Dun for his reckless behavior. However, Yelu Hongji came to his senses and realized that he had done something stupid again.

Why did he come to send a beautiful woman to Zhao Fang? Wasn't it because he wanted Zhao Fang to become obsessed with beauty and turn into a coward?But Zhang Dun was Zhao Fang's confidant, but he sent so many beauties at once, which shows that Zhao Fang would never neglect his government because of beauties.

Zhao Fang was also troubled by this matter. He understood why Zhang Dun wanted to do such ridiculous things in such a public manner. Wasn't it just to avoid exposing himself?

Thinking of this, he cursed bitterly: "This Zhang Zihou is so stupid! Who does he think of me? Is there any need for him to imitate Zhao Pu?"

Gao Jujian glanced at him secretly, but secretly praised Zhang Dun's wisdom in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out.

Han Qi sighed: "Zhang Jinglue has to taint himself! Think about it, officials. After Goryeo surrenders, who will the court send to control the current situation?"

Zhao Fang was stunned and immediately understood: "The destruction of the country is enough to frighten the current Goryeo. In this case, the court will still let Zi Hou rule temporarily. He is killing two birds with one stone!"

"Yes, in addition to degrading himself to make the court rest assured about him, it also meant to humiliate the Goryeo monarchs and ministers so that he would not be replaced."

"Yes, the court will be more at ease with him and cannot bribe Goryeo officials for his own use."

After the monarch and his ministers opened up, their analysis became more accurate. Zhang Dun really planned this because Goryeo could not do without him at the moment.

But the emperor's trust in him does not mean that the officials can trust him. It is normal for them to be attacked by a group of people. It just depends on the crime of impeachment.

If you are impeached and support yourself, that would be a real big deal. The other charges are just minor punishments.

Deliberately offending the Goryeo monarchs and ministers was to cut off the way for him to win people's hearts. It didn't matter whether Zhao Fang would accept those women or not.

Just when the Song Dynasty court was discussing Zhang Dun's merits and demerits, Yelu Hongji finally made a difficult decision to give up the pursuit of Xijing Road and complete the alliance with the Song Dynasty as soon as possible.

There was no way, the destruction of Goryeo shocked the Liao Kingdom, and he had to rush back, otherwise the country might be turned upside down.

Goryeo was not only a vassal state of the Liao Kingdom, but also one of the sources of the Liao Kingdom's economy, and it was too close to Liaodong.

The boundary between Goryeo and the Liao Kingdom in the Song Dynasty was not the same as in later generations. The Yalu River was used as the boundary after the Ming Dynasty. Before that, the Yalu River was actually an inland river of the Liao Kingdom.

Even the entire Changbai Mountain range was within the territory of the Liao Kingdom. Goryeo actually took advantage of the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty to occupy many territories of the Central Plains dynasty.

It was just that in order to appease the Li family, Zhu Yuanzhang did not care about the original territory with him, and acquiesced that the place he occupied belonged to the Li family's Korea.

Three days later, the Song and Liao signed a new alliance oath in Bianjing, abolishing the Chanyuan Alliance and changing it to the Bianjing Alliance. The two countries were still brothers. The Liao State sent 20 annual coins to the Song Dynasty every year.

This was decided after Yelu Hongji cried out for poverty, and then Zhao Zhen came forward to intercede for him. As for Datong, which was occupied by the Song army, it should be returned to the Song Dynasty.

The Liao Kingdom abandoned the Xijing Road, but kept the Nanjing Road and Tokyo Road. The Song Dynasty was no longer allowed to ask for these areas from them.

Zhao Fang looked very embarrassed, and then proposed that the Liao Kingdom could not pursue the betrayal of the Nianbage tribe and Xigasi because of this incident.

In the end, both sides used this excuse to take a step back from each other. The Song Dynasty gave up pursuing Nanjing Road and Tokyo Road, while the Liao Kingdom gave up pursuing Nianbage Tribe and Hagasi.
