Yi Song

Chapter 285 Jin Princess’s Mansion and Yan’s Duke’s Mansion
Seeing Liu Guozhang transformed into a Jia Qian layman, Yelu Dashi felt a mixture of surprise and worry.

The surprise is that Liu Guozhang asked for more money, so we had to negotiate.

The worry is that Liu Guozhang's recent reputation as cunning as a fox is surpassing that of being as fierce as a tiger. For such a cunning person, is the request for more money true or false? Is there any mystery inside?

"Mr. Yan, may I ask how much more money you need?"

Liu Guozhang smiled faintly, tilted his head slightly, and told Yelu Dashi straightforwardly with a look on his face, "You bid first, and I'll take a look before talking."

"Gong Yan, we are already willing to give up the Xijing and Nanjing Roads, but we cannot give up the Tokyo Road. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Is there a shortage of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and cloth in the Song Dynasty? "Yelü Dashi said sincerely, with a tangled face.

Seeing that Liu Guozhang was unmoved, Yelu Dashi gritted his teeth and said: "The Emperor of Liao worships the Emperor of Song as his uncle and is willing to be his nephew. Is this feasible?"

This condition is possible!
The most respectable official, if such conditions are reported, Long Yan will definitely be very happy. Rounding up, it is equivalent to regaining half of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.

Liu Ruoyu looked at Liu Guozhang expectantly.

Wulu Hall is the most secretive thing in the Northern Liao Dynasty. Even Emperor Tianzuo does not know many things.

I wanted to make up a few names at random, but I was worried that Liu Erlang, who was as cunning as a fox, was deceiving me.

Some people couldn't wait to change their ways before the Daliao tree fell completely.

Yelu Dashi's face was very ugly.

Are you sincere?

Erlang, how about we just agree to it.

As soon as Liu Erlang raised this question just now, Yelu Dashi knew that this matter could not be solved by chopping off dozens of heads. But he was very unwilling to betray the forces in the Song Dynasty that were cooperating with the Liao people.

Ordnance and armor are lost, and military secrets are revealed.

"Mr. Yan, why don't you tell me your request?"

"You are able to advance and retreat freely, so you must be colluding with some people in our Song Dynasty. I just want to know, who is it? Dashi Linya, don't say you don't know about this. Your Northern Liao's detailed actions on our Song Dynasty are all unknown. Conducted by Wurutang.

"Uncle? Why don't you recognize your uncle?"

The head of your country may not know about this, but you must know it! "

Wulu Hall was established by Xiao Wuna, King of Lanling of your country, when he was in charge of the Southern Privy Council, and you were his important assistant. He died of illness last year, and Wuyu Hall was left in your hands.

Yelu Dashi's eyelids twitched suddenly. He never expected that Liu Guozhang would be waiting for this matter.

From what he said just now, Liu Erlang seemed to know his Wuyoutang very well.

Do you want to tell Liu Erlang?

After killing hundreds of people, they disappeared without a trace. These people are extremely powerful, but they have no obvious signs, making it difficult to tell where they come from. However, there are clues that they should be members of the Pishi Army of your country. "

Liu Erlang, you are too pushy!
The Emperor of the Liao Dynasty recognizes your official family as his uncle. I have to spend a lot of time talking about it. If he recognized his uncle, it would be impossible.

Why did Liu Erlang know it!
After the decline of Daliao, many people in the court had their thoughts. At the beginning, the Jurchens were unstoppable in the Northeast, and there was a big mystery inside.

Liu Guozhang glanced at Yelu Dashi and said slowly: "Last July, a group of strongmen came out of Wuyou Cave and attacked and killed the Lord of Houde Palace.

After a while, Yelu Dashi asked, "What does Duke Yan want to know?"

If he knew those people well, after getting the names he had made up, he could use the excuse that he was not sincere and directly refuse to join forces with Liao to attack Zhenwu.

Yelu Dashi hesitated for a while, and finally said six names.

Liu Guozhang kept it in mind and knew that Yelu Dashi was abandoning the commander-in-chief. Abandon some pro-Liao elements and keep the core people he thinks are more important.

I would do the same thing if I were myself. Thinking of these names in his heart, Liu Guozhang sighed.

For two hundred years, the Northern Liao Dynasty had always looked down on the Song Dynasty. There is a strong nature in human nature, so it is no wonder that the pro-Liao faction in the DPRK is quite powerful.

"Okay! I know the sincerity of Dashi Linya and your country to join forces to attack Zhenwu. We can continue to talk."

After talking for more than an hour, they said goodbye to Yelu Dashi. Liu Guozhang and Liu Ruoyu went back to Bianjing City to report to the officials.

"Erlang, how do you tell the officials?"

"Ruoyu, how sincere do you think Yelu Dashi's plan of Song and Liao to join forces to attack Zhenwu is?"

"Very sincere. It's just that this sincerity is all about alleviating Bei Liao's urgent needs. If the threat to Bei Liao from the Zhenwu Department is reduced, Yelu Dashi may not regret it, and the leader of Bei Liao and other dignitaries will definitely regret it!"

"That's right. Between countries, there is no etiquette, justice or shame to talk about, only interests. If cooperation is beneficial, countries will be united, and if division is beneficial, countries will be in conflict. It's a pity that our officials have read the books of sages and think too well of people."

Liu Ruoyu thought for a while and said, "Erlang, if we don't tell the officials and Yelu Dashi reports the matter through other channels, we will be embarrassed."

Liu Guozhang glanced at him and said, "Ruoyu, I'm just saying that Beiliao's statement is actually very dishonest. He didn't say he wouldn't report it to the officials."

"Report it to the officials, what will happen next? The officials will issue an edict to negotiate peace with Beiliao, and then do we really want to fall out with the Zhenwu Department?"

Liu Guozhang laughed, "Don't you and I still know the temper of our officials? We can change thirty-six ideas in one night. Even if we issue an edict to discuss with Beiliao to jointly attack Zhenwu. In a few days, the situation in the north will change Once he changed, he changed his mind."

Liu Ruoyu also smiled, "Yes, our government officials and their families have been talking about joining forces with the Jin Dynasty to attack Liao Dynasty for several years, with many changes. It was not until the Jin people occupied Liaodong that all the officials and officials felt that there was an opportunity, so they pushed forward with all their strength.

Now that the Wanyan Department is gone and the Zhenwu Department pops up, it will definitely take a few more years before they can make up their mind. "

Liu Guozhang turned his head, pointed to the north, and said to Liu Ruoyu: "In the Northern Liao court, demons are dancing wildly. As the old saying goes, when a country is about to fall, evildoers will appear.

Now in the Northern Liao court, anything could happen. At that time, maybe our officials will just be wishful thinking. "

Liu Ruoyu smiled and said, "Then I know how to report it."

After a pause, he took the initiative and said: "I will conceal the matter of the Palace Master. If these thieves dare to frame the Palace Master, they will die without a burial place!"

These bastards can flatter Liao today and Jin tomorrow. They have contributed a lot to the historical shame of Jingkang, and they must eradicate it with vicious hands.

Back in Bianjing, Liu Guozhang and Liu Ruoyu reported separately. Their words were generally consistent, but Liu Ruoyu went into more detail on some details. He even reported Liu Guozhang's "asking for bribes" to Zhao Ji.

"This Erlang has just started a family, and he already knows how to accumulate family wealth. You said you can just go to other places to gather more, but how dare you even blackmail the envoys of Bei Liao? You are so bold."

But Liu Ruoyu could tell that although Zhao Ji's words contained scolding, they also conveyed a sense of relief.

On the sixth day of March, the fifth sister of the official family, Zhao Fujin, married Yan Guogong Liu Guozhang.

After the ceremony, the big house in Xuanhuafang had a plaque changed and became the "Princess Palace of Jin".

Several neighboring large houses were bought by people who had used all their means in the past, and they were repaired and expanded by craftsmen. They were connected into one mansion, which is only one-quarter of the size of the former Liu Mansion and the current Jin Princess Mansion.

There is a side door leading directly between the two mansions.

Now the plaque has finally been hung up: "The Duke's Mansion of the State of Yan."

In the eyes of the officials, civilians, soldiers and civilians of Bianjing who were not too concerned about the excitement, this might be the last stubbornness of Liu Erlang, the Duke of Yan, the Jiedushi of the Five Towns, and the first general of the Song Dynasty during the Zhengxuan period.

The news spread to the harem, amusing a group of concubines, and became an important topic for them to make Zhao Fujin laugh when he returned to his natal family.

After Zhao Ji heard about it, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He simply ignored it and pretended that he didn't know.

Newlyweds are like paint and glue. The days go by so fast, and it’s early June in the blink of an eye.

A fast horse rushed into the east gate of Bianjing City, bringing news that shocked the soldiers and people of Bianjing.
