One Piece of Song Dynasty

Yue Fei suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that the prince is here for An Niang, and An Niang is indeed not married yet."

Li Xin said happily: "That's great. I wonder if General Yue is satisfied with Xiaolong?"

Yue Fei looked at Li Xiaolong. Li Xiaolong was six feet tall and very burly. His fists looked powerful. After looking at Yue Fei, he nodded and said, "Satisfied."

Li Xin was discussing with Yue Fei. Yue Fei's youngest daughter Yue Yinping, who was eavesdropping on the side, ran to Yue Anniang's house and said, "Sister, sister, my father is discussing your marriage in the front yard, sister." Why don't you go and see your future official?"

Yue Anniang, who was doing embroidery, accidentally pricked her hand with a needle when she heard this and said, "Yin Ping, what you said is true."

Yin Ping said: "Of course it's true. I heard it with my own ears. Daddy is talking to an uncle in the front yard about your marriage. There is also an elder brother sitting next to the uncle. Sister, your finger is bleeding. You should deal with it first. .”

An Niang moistened her fingers with her mouth, and the blood stopped flowing quickly. Then she followed Yin Ping to the front yard. When she arrived at the front yard, she heard Yue Fei talking to someone. An Niang peeked her head out from behind the barrier to observe. Under An Niang, Yin Ping also showed a head.

Yin Ping pointed at Xiaolong and whispered: "Sister, that eldest brother is your future official."

An Niang followed Yin Ping's finger and looked over. Suddenly Xiaolong also noticed that someone was peeking at him, so they looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to be electrocuted. Li Xiaolong smiled at An Niang, and An Niang swiped. He blushed and then retracted his head.

An Niang stood behind the barrier, her heart pounding. It took her a while to calm down. At this time, An Niang didn't dare to peek at Xiaolong again. She was afraid of meeting Xiaolong's eyes again. An Niang had to think about it. Xiaolong's appearance is not ugly, and he is somewhat handsome, but his skin is a bit dark, but he is stronger than the men he usually sees, and he feels very secure.

After chatting for a while, Li Xin said goodbye: "General Yue, let's agree that after the Tang Dynasty is established, we will find a day as soon as possible to arrange the marriages of these four children."

Yue Fei nodded and said: "Okay, Your Majesty, no problem."

The first person to receive the envoy sent by Li Xin was Goryeo. After receiving the news, King Renzong of Goryeo summoned ministers such as Jin Fushi, Li Zhidi, Ren Yuantuo, etc. Eighteen years have passed since the Battle of Jeju Island. During these eighteen years, Wang Kai overthrew his grandfather, the powerful official Li Ziqian, and took back his own power. Later, he exiled Tuo Junjing, suppressed the Miaoqing Rebellion, and professed his vassalage to Dajin.

Wang Kai informed the ministers of the news from the Song envoy and said: "Everyone, what do you think about this matter and whether we need to send people to attend Li Xin's coronation ceremony?"

Li Zhidi reported: "Your Majesty, now that we have surrendered to Dajin, should we report this matter to Dajin first? If we act without authorization, I am afraid that Dajin will be dissatisfied."

Jin Fushi frowned and said: "It is indeed necessary to report to Dajin, but we really need to secretly send people to Yanjing to find out whether what the Song envoy said is true, and now it seems that Li Xin, the regent of the Song Dynasty, was snatched from us back then. Li Xin of Tamluo Island did not expect that Li Xin not only became the regent of the Song Dynasty in recent years, but also led the Song army to defeat the Jin army. Your Majesty, if what the Song envoy said is true, then in the future we will The relationship with the Kingdom of Jin is about to change."

Ren Yuanzhu asked: "Master Jin, even if Li Xin ascends the throne, the new Tang Dynasty will not be able to protect us. I don't know how the relationship with Dajin has changed as mentioned by Master Jin."

Jin Fushi replied: "On the surface, we can continue to profess vassalage to the Jin Dynasty. Secretly, we can have more contacts with the new Tang Dynasty. Don't forget, Mr. Ren, that most of our sea trade is completed with the current Song Dynasty. Sea trade can bring us A lot of tax revenue has come, which is not what the Kingdom of Jin can give us, and we can also inform the Kingdom of Jin about the affairs of Tamluo Island, so we have fulfilled our obligations as courtiers."

Wang Kai said thoughtfully: "Well, Master Jin is right."

Jin Fushi asked: "Your Majesty, please go in person for this secret visit to Yanjing. Your Majesty can first send someone to Dajin to report the matter. If the Kingdom of Jin agrees, then the minister can attend Li Xin's event openly and honestly." If the Kingdom of Jin disagrees with the enthronement ceremony, I will meet Li Xin secretly, and since my brother Jin Fuzhe has been with Li Xin for more than ten years, I think I can learn more information from him."

Wang Kai nodded and said: "Okay, then if you go to Yanjing, it will be troublesome for Lord Jin. I will send someone to the Kingdom of Jin as soon as possible."

The second country to receive news of the restoration of the Tang Dynasty was Japan. Today's Japan is in the late Heian period. The reigning emperor is Emperor Sotoku. The regent Guanshiro at this time is Fujiwara Tadamichi, and the bureaucratic nobles represented by the Fujiwara clan The group's rule has completely lost its progressive nature. It is politically corrupt and life-degrading. Heian Jing is singing and dancing, and the place is actually controlled by Zhuangtian officials and samurai. The nobles and ministers have not engaged in military affairs. They have not known each other for many years and will be leading the troops. As a shame, local affairs were managed by samurai. In short, the time when samurai took power was not far away.

Japan still attaches great importance to the news of the restoration of the Tang Dynasty. After discussing with Emperor Sutoku, Fujiwara Tadamichi decided to send an envoy to attend Li Xin's coronation ceremony.

Dajin was the third one to receive the notice from Li Xin. After receiving the news, Jin Xizong summoned all the ministers and said: "Everyone, Li Xin sent his credentials and invited us to send people to attend his coronation ceremony. What do you think about this?" "

Han Qixian said: "Your Majesty, now that the two countries have just signed a peace agreement, we should send someone to attend Li Xin's coronation ceremony."

Jin Xizong sighed: "I really don't want to send anyone to participate. Li Xin took away a large area of ​​land and wealth from my hands, Da Jin. I lost nearly % of the country left by the late emperor. I can't wait to kill Li Xin." The body was broken into thousands of pieces, and now I am asked to send people to attend Li Xin's coronation ceremony. I really can't swallow this breath."

Xiao Zhonggong stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, a little impatience will mess up a big plan. Now I, Dajin, need time to restore our national strength. Your Majesty should have heard the story of King Gou Jian of Yue who laid down his fuel and tasted courage and finally destroyed Wu. Now is the time when you need your Majesty to do something brave."

Jin Xizong nodded and said, "Okay, then let's send Wuling Simou there."

Just a few days after Jin Xizong decided to send Wuling Simou to attend Li Xin's coronation ceremony, the Korean envoy came. The Korean envoy informed Jin Xizong of his future intentions.

Jin Xizong once again summoned several ministers: "My dear friends, the Goryeo envoy said that Li Xin also sent an envoy to them. The King of Goryeo asked us if we agree with them sending people to attend Li Xin's coronation ceremony, and they also told me something Secret."
