One Piece of Song Dynasty

Liang Xing continued: "Don't worry, wait until you finish what you said before writing. Your Excellency also emphasized that we should wait for an opportunity to go to the territory of the Kingdom of Jin immediately after this battle without delay."

Zhao Yun said thoughtfully: "Okay, I understand. It seems that your Excellency is still not optimistic about the imperial court's Second Northern Expedition. Yizhou and Zhuozhou have both surrendered. Could there be any changes?"

Liang Xing shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but since the Lord said so, we'd better be more cautious, and Brother Zhao, don't forget, the purpose of our coming to Daliao in the first place was not for the Liao Kingdom. Our goal is In the future, the powerful Jin Kingdom will be our real opponent, so we cannot put the cart before the horse."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Okay, I understand."

After Zhao Yun wrote the list and contact information and gave it to Liang Xing, he went back to arrange his men. The next day, Liang Xing sent his and Zhao Yun's lists to Li Xin.

A few days later, Li Xin received a secret letter from Liang Xing. Liang Hongyu translated it and handed it to Li Xin, saying: "These are the two lists and contact information sent by Liang Xing."

After reading it, Li Xin nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Li Xin then wrote a secret letter to Qian Sheng, the shopkeeper of Cangzhou Tianxiang Tower, and sent Liang Xing's two lists to Qian Sheng. In the letter, Li Xin asked Qian Sheng to find everyone on the list and let them temporarily All lurk and don't move, waiting for Liang Xing and Zhao Yun to activate them again. Of course, during the lurking period, they need to record the daily movements of the officers and soldiers in the two places. If there is an opportunity, they will take turns to arrange for them to come back to visit relatives. If there is any major news during the lurking period, It can be temporarily passed to Qian Sheng, who will then pass it on to Li Xin.

After receiving Li Xin's secret letter, Qian Sheng began to arrange all the matters explained by Li Xin.

On October , Concubine Xiao De's memorial to the emperor was delivered to Tokyo. Song Huizong was very happy after reading it. He immediately summoned Wang Fu and other ministers to Chongzheng Hall to study how to deal with it.

The ministers disagreed. Wang Fu believed that Concubine Xiao De was just accepting money as a minister, which was unacceptable, and she had to accept soil. Li Bangyan thought it was acceptable. The Khitan could accept the money and become a vassal. This was already a historic victory. What would happen if we accept the land? There are many ethnic groups in the Yanyun area, and the management is cumbersome. If the imperial court takes over directly, it may have to be repaid, which will become a burden.

Wang Anzhong agreed with Wang Fu's point of view. He believed that if the Khitan did not accept the territory, it would be rejected and the army should continue to move northward. Recovering the lost territory of Yanyun is not all for economic interests, but also for border defense and military interests. More importantly, it has political significance.

They argued for a long time, but no one could convince the other. Finally, Song Huizong adopted the suggestions of Wang Fu and Wang Anzhong and decided to reject Empress Xiao's petition.

The fact that Concubine Xiao De petitioned for the title of Tibetan was a great shock to the court. For the Song Dynasty, this was indeed a historic victory worthy of celebration. On this day, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty came to the Zichen Hall, and the Grand Prime Minister Wang Fu led hundreds of officials to congratulate him. The table says: "The commanding generals controlled the army and used the power of Shen Zhongxia to bring chaos and insult, and then restored the entire Yan territory. It was prosperous and revitalized the ancient times, and the joy spread over the area. I heard that Shun conquered the twelve states and did not leave the land of Jidu. , the Zhou Dynasty established eight hundred kingdoms, the first was the title of Zhao Xi, and Tianjin was separated from the wood. In fact, Gu Guangyang was victorious. The situation was in danger of Jintang. Gao Fu was named Lu Hai Zhi Rao. Shi Jin refused to accept Khitan and began to cede the land. And the risk of losing the Jinhe River.

Your Majesty, the Emperor of Gongwei, has the benevolence of Yao, wisdom and bravery of Tang Dynasty, and is endowed with virtues. He has the chariots and letters of the four seas, suppresses the power of heaven, and establishes the territory of the three kings. All these strategies of conquering are based on the arbitrary God. The materials are as thin as nine, the deeds are as small as ten thousand miles, the gods are performing their duties, the heaven and the earth are in harmony, and we are eager to achieve the honor of restoring ancient times. We admire the wrath of heaven and accept the tribute of Duan Wei. We can display the rituals of Xikuo and increase the map of the territory. , further elucidating the evolution of civilization. "

It can be seen from this memorial that Wang Fu did his best to flatter.

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was also a little excited. He issued an edict in response: "I am the heir to compile the Pi Tu, and I am innovating the common government day by day. I want to increase my faith and cooperate with all nations. I always welcome the joy of neighboring countries and abide by the covenants. How can I mean that I will not be defeated by Tibet?" The clan rebelled against their clan alliance and ordered their commanders to patrol the borders. The people of Yan obeyed, and they bowed their heads and asked for orders to return. They will restore the old territory of Yanyun, and talk about it together to achieve the old aspirations of the ancestors. The monarch and his ministers will be happy, and China and foreign countries will be happy. This achievement has been achieved. , Lai Yuliangbi, Pi Yang great achievements, is actually a good plan."

Subsequently, Song Huizong issued four consecutive edicts:

. Change Yanjing to Yanshan Prefecture, and give new names to eight states including Zhuozhou and Yizhou. The edict stated that Yanjing was the ancient Youzhou. King Wu defeated the Shang Dynasty and granted the title of Duke to Yan. It was named after Yanran Mountain. Zhuo County was established in the Han Dynasty. In the first year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, it was changed to Yanzhou, and in the first year of Tianbao it was changed to Youzhou. The old name was Guangyang County, but now the imperial pen changed it to Yanshan Prefecture.

. Grant amnesty to newly recovered states and counties. The so-called pardon refers to the individual pardon of criminals in one or several places. Except for those who disobeyed the emperor's orders and conspired against the emperor, all other criminals, regardless of the size of their crimes, were pardoned and released immediately. The states and counties must use them according to their talents and give them their own destiny.

. The rate of elimination is to exempt the newly recovered states and counties from all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and to provide official millet relief to the poor and hungry people, so as not to displace the people.

. To promote talented people. For those newly recovered states and counties, those who have talents and skills that are hidden among the people, or those who have been recommended by the township but have not been tried out, and those who have offended the powerful or been ostracized by the powerful because of their loyalty. As well as officials convicted of mistakes, they must be screened and promoted.

The imperial court then arranged for fast horses to immediately deliver Song Huizong's edict to the Xuanfu Division in Xiongzhou, Hebei.

On this day, Cai You personally came to the post station and said to the Liao envoy: "We have received the edict and will not accept any payment from you for becoming a vassal. Unless you accept the land, otherwise there will be no discussion. Please leave the country immediately."

Xiao Rong was shocked. Han Fang was mentally prepared. He said: "If Daliao ceases to exist, you will definitely be disturbed by the Jurchens in the future. You will die and your teeth will be cold." Cai You refused to listen and turned around and left.

Han Fang stood in the courtyard and said loudly: "The Liao and Song Dynasties have been married for hundreds of years. The oath is here. If you can deceive the country, you can only deceive the sky."

However, no one responded to Han Fang and Xiao Rong, and they could only return disappointed.

On this day, Medicine Master Guo left three thousand soldiers and horses for Zhen Wuchen to guard Zhuozhou, while he led the rest of the soldiers to Yizhou. The governor of Yizhou is now concurrently held by He Guan, deputy commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army. He Guan has received orders from Tong Guan and is preparing to take over the Ever Victorious Army. He Guan was fifty-eight years old, tall and bold in character. He was selected as a martial artist and had been leading troops under Tong Guan for a long time. During the battle with Xixia, he was famous for his strong arms and good archery.

Gao Feng, the former magistrate of Yizhou, applied to become an official because of his old age and frailty. The imperial court approved it and rewarded him with a house in Tokyo. He plans to take his family to the capital to take care of himself in the near future. On this day, he said to He Guan: "Thirty years ago, there was also a general named He Guan in the Song Dynasty. He once shot an arrow into the mountains in front of the two armies on the border. The arrow was deeply sunk into the rocks and could not be pulled out, so the Liao army was unable to pull it out. The army was very shocked.”
