Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Yelu Yanxi frowned and said: "Grandfather, don't you understand that the instability of the Jurchen ministries is secretly instigated by the Song Dynasty. The merchant ships going to trade with the Jurchens are all Song ships. If the Liao Kingdom just sits idly by and ignores it, it will definitely allow the Jurchens to become bigger." , and became a serious problem for the Liao Kingdom."

The benefits of ginseng were so great that the Jurchen tribes became increasingly rich and dissatisfied with the exploitation of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom could not sit back and watch the Jurchens become stronger. The contradiction between the two was irreconcilable. This was the conspiracy of the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Hongji sneered and said: "If Liao chooses to attack the Jurchens, it will really fall into the Song Dynasty's plan. Everyone knows that the Song Dynasty destroyed Dali, and the next plan is Xixia. Once the Liao Kingdom is restrained by the Jurchen ministries, If you stop, the Song Dynasty will definitely take the opportunity to destroy Xixia. Supporting Xixia and containing the Song Dynasty is also a century-old national policy of the Liao Kingdom, and there must be no room for failure."

"Since the imperial grandfather knows this truth, why is he unwilling to nip the Jurchen threat in the bud." Yelu Yanxi said puzzled.

Yelu Hongji said proudly: "Because the Jurchens are nothing to be afraid of! The reason why Xixia was able to establish a country is because Dangxiang has a population of several million, while the Jurchens have a population of less than ten thousand. They are nothing more than scabies. How can they threaten Daliao?" "

Yelu Hongji was extremely confident. The Liao Kingdom had millions of troops, while the Jurchen population was only ten thousand. Even with ginseng and weapons, it would not be a threat to the rule of the Liao Kingdom. If such a powerful Liao Kingdom could not defeat the little Jurchens, The Emperor of Liao was too much of a waste.

Yelu Yanxi argued hard: "Since it is scabies itch, it must be treated in advance, otherwise it will inevitably become psoriasis and become a serious problem in the future."

Yelu Hongji was a little disappointed with Yelu Yanxi and said: "Dali was destroyed because the south of it was the Bagan Kingdom. It had no way to retreat and could only be destroyed. However, this was not the case for the Jurchen tribes, which had a wider area to the north. The bitter cold land is covered with forests. Once our Liao army conquers it, the Jurchen tribes will definitely flee into the forests of the bitterly cold land and continue to harass the Liao Kingdom. At that time, we will surely lose our footing. We are now the biggest enemy of the Liao Kingdom. It is the Song Dynasty, and it is in the interests of the Liao Kingdom to support Xixia against the Song Dynasty."

Yelu Yanxi didn't take it seriously when he heard this.

"Now that the Jurchen tribes are still peaceful, Daliao only needs to increase heavy taxes on them and restrict their development. There is no need to force them to rebel for the benefit of ginseng." Yelu Hongji hammered Yelu Yanxi.

He knew that Yelu Yanxi wanted to monopolize the interests of ginseng, because the Jurchens were dissatisfied and interfered with the maritime merchants of the Song Dynasty, which eventually led to a great reduction in their interests. However, this behavior was extremely short-sighted in the eyes of the emperor, and personal gains and losses were always greater than Not in the national interest.

"Grandpa Huang taught you a lesson!"

Yelu Yanxi was dissatisfied, but she lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

After Yelu Hongji gave some instruction, he comforted him by saying: "After the situation in Xixia stabilizes, it is not impossible to attack the Jurchens, but you must have a good reputation and kill all the Jurchen tribes with one blow, otherwise they will be allowed to flee to the north." The virgin forest will definitely be an endless disaster for the Liao Kingdom."

"Grandpa Huang is wise!"

Yelu Yanxi bowed and said.

After Yelu Hongji finished teaching his grandson, he couldn't help but look a little tired.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take ginseng soup!"

Upon seeing this, a medical officer came forward and offered a bowl of warm ginseng soup.

Yelu Hongji did not take it. The eunuch next to him stepped forward to test the poison in person and tasted the drink. After waiting for a period of time to confirm that it was non-toxic, he served Yelu Hongji to take it.

Yelu Hongji picked up the ginseng soup and drank it all in one gulp. The medicinal effects contained in ginseng immediately shocked him.

"Thousand-year-old ginseng is indeed a life-extending medicine. Although the Song Dynasty wanted to use thousand-year ginseng to provoke hostility between Daliao and Jurchen, they found a life-extending medicine for me!" Yelu Hongji said with satisfaction.

Yelu Hongji is now nearly seventy years old and already very weak. However, the news that thousand-year-old ginseng can extend his life suddenly gave him hope.

Moreover, through his consumption and personal experience, he found that the thousand-year-old ginseng was real and effective in extending life. This was also the reason why he turned a blind eye to the Jurchen tribes. The sufferings of the little Jurchens were nothing compared to his life. important.

Even after he took ginseng, even his long-lost glory was able to revive, which surprised him even more.

At that moment, Yelu Hongji waved his hand and told Yelu Yanxi to step aside. He had more important things to do.

"Goodbye, grandson!" Yelu Yanxi bowed and left knowingly.

When Yelu Yanxi returned to the Taisun Palace, his close confidant Yelu Zhangnu immediately came up to him and said, "Your Highness Taisun, has your Majesty agreed to destroy the Jurchen tribes?"

Yelu Yanxi shook his head and said: "Now that the Song Dynasty has destroyed Dali and is in the spotlight, Grandpa Huang is worried that once the Liao Kingdom attacks the Jurchens, the Liao Kingdom will fall into civil strife, giving the Song Dynasty the opportunity to destroy Xixia."

Yelv Zhangnu was immediately disappointed. The benefits of ginseng were too great. If he could control all the Jurchen tribes, he would be able to take away all the wealth and wealth from ginseng.

"What does His Highness Taisun mean?" Yelv Zhangnu asked tentatively.

Yelu Yanxi solemnly said: "The Jurchens are less than ten thousand, and they are invincible if they are full of ten thousand people. Today's Jurchens are indeed less than ten thousand. However, with the benefits of ginseng, it is only a matter of time before the Jurchen tribes are full of ten thousand. By then, the Jurchens will definitely become a big problem. We Daliao must nip hidden dangers in the bud."

"In my opinion, it's not that the officials don't see the dangers of the Jurchens, but they don't want Daliao to attack the Jurchens and cut off the thousand-year ginseng that has kept him alive! If the emperor's grandson can ascend the throne, he will definitely be able to lead Daliao to its peak." Yelu Zhangnu sighed.

"Be careful! The emperor's grandfather lived to be a hundred years old, which is the great fortune of Liao Dynasty!" Yelu Yanxi scolded.

When Yelu Zhangnu saw that Yelu Yanxi was just scolding him, he immediately understood that he was also dissatisfied with Yelu Hongji. He immediately said more aggressively: "Your Majesty lives a hundred years, but it is the greatest misfortune for the emperor's grandson!"

Yelu Yanxi frowned. What Yelu Zhangnu said was true. As long as Yelu Hongji did not die, he would not be able to ascend the throne.

Yelu Zhangnu whispered: "Thousand-year ginseng is a prescription for longevity of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and it has been proven effective by many emperors. With thousand-year ginseng, no one can be sure how long your majesty can live. Your majesty now uses thousand-year ginseng." Tonic, it is said that he has regained his glory, and maybe one day he can give birth to a prince for the Liao Kingdom."

Yelu Yanxi's expression suddenly changed. His status was as stable as Mount Tai. The most important thing was that he was the only grandson of Yelu Hongji, and Yelu Hongji could only pass on to him.

Thousand-year-old ginseng has extremely powerful effects. If Yelu Hongji has another son, it goes without saying whether he is a son or a grandson. Now Yelu Hongji is only seventy years old. There are not many centenarians in the Liao Kingdom. If Yelu Hong If Ji lives for a few more decades, it's hard to say whose hands the throne will fall to.

"If something unexpected happens to His Majesty, Your Majesty the Grand Sun will definitely be able to sit back and relax." Yelv Zhangnu said with a fierce look on his face.

"No! Grandpa Huang is closely guarded. Even the food will be carefully controlled by eunuchs. No one will be given a chance. I just need to wait for the opportunity. One day I will ascend the throne and revitalize the Liao Dynasty." Yelu Yanxi panicked. road.

Yelu Zhangnu said confidently: "We have a perfect strategy, which is enough to make His Highness the Grand Sun ascend the throne without anyone noticing."

"The perfect solution!"

Yelu Yanxi's heart suddenly pounded.

Yelu Zhangnu was moved when he saw Yelu Yanxi and said, "As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old ginseng can prolong your life, but it may also be poison, enough to kill your majesty."
