When the Great Song Dynasty and Great Xia negotiated in Tongguan, the Liao State couldn't sit still, it was originally the Liao and Song Dynasty to attack Xia together, and now the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Xia unilaterally negotiated peace, and it became the Liao State alone to resist the attack of the Great Xia Empire, facing the mighty Xia army, Yelu Hongji, who had suffered countless losses in the hands of Li Liangzuo, couldn't sit still, and with the Xia and Song Dynasty peace, the Liao State ushered in an unprecedented crisis.
Inside the camp of the Liao army in Hongzhou.
Yelu Hongji, who was already old, sat on the dragon chair and asked everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, you should have heard about the peace negotiations between Song and Xia, what do you think about this matter?"
Yelu Yixin first stood up and said to Yelu Hongji: "Your Majesty, although the Xia army has been fighting for many years is already at the end of the strong crossbow, but the residual power is still there, if there is a full-scale war with it, the Xia Emperor is bound to fight to the death, and it is very likely to repeat the tragedy of the year; Now that the Great Song Dynasty has surrendered, the Xia army can completely detour through the Song Border to attack our country from the south; In this way, our country may be attacked by the Xia army in the four directions of east, west, south and north, and in order to effectively defend it, our army can only be scattered and deployed on these four lines of defense."
Yelu Yixin did not say agree, nor did he say disagree, but just analyzed the stakes one by one to Yelu Hongji, today's Liao State is no longer the Great Liao Empire of Weizhen Beishuo, and now the territory of Liao State is only Nanjing Road, Zhongjing Road and Shangjing Road; Surrounded on three sides by the Great Xia Empire; No, when the Great Song Dynasty officially completed the territorial handover, the Liao State was completely surrounded by the Great Xia Empire.
"What do you think?"
asked Yelu Hongji.
"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty agrees to negotiate peace with the Great Xia Empire, my Great Liao will inevitably pay a great price, although the Great Xia Empire will not destroy the Great Liao in one fell swoop, but it is bound to find ways to weaken the power of my Great Liao, and it is indispensable to cede land and call the ministers and pay tribute, please think twice."
Yeluren said first.
Yelu Hongji finally made up his mind and said: "Since you can't beat it, then call the ministers, cut the land, and pay tribute, and I will carry a letter of resignation to Xingqing Mansion by the King of Ruyang, and meet Emperor Xia to ask for peace." ” "Yes, the old minister obeys."
"But such a loss cannot be borne by my Da Liao; The herald ordered the army to retreat to Nanjing Road, hold the Flying Fox Pass and Juyong Pass, and the southern part of the army Chen Bing was ready to attack the Song Dynasty at any time.
Yelu Hongji gave a military order.
"Yes, in accordance with Your Majesty's Shengyu, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
After the Tongguan agreement was signed, Li Liangzuo returned to Xingqing Mansion, and all the important military and political affairs in Guanzhong and Hanzhong were handed over to Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, to deal with, with a large number of grain and grass going north, the people of Xia who had been dying finally regained their vitality, Li Liangzuo went all the way to inspect, and found that the famine in various places has been alleviated, which made Li Liangzuo really relieved a lot, if this situation continues, it is likely to provoke a civil uprising.
After the Tongguan Agreement was signed, Song Shenzong Zhao Ji was not put back by Li Liangzuo, in fact, the reason was very simple, he was afraid that the Great Song Dynasty would repay the debt, Li Liangzuo personally wrote to the Empress Dowager Gao, only when the Great Xia Empire got all the compensation, would the people be put back, as for the other captured soldiers and officers, there is no need to think about it, it is basically impossible to let them go back.
A few days later, the summer palace of Xingqing Mansion.
During this time, Li Liangzuo has been refusing to go to the court and meet with the courtiers on the grounds of physical discomfort, and many major national events waiting for Li Liangzuo's personal decision have been repeatedly delayed, which has made the entire Great Xia court panic, and there are even rumors that Li Liangzuo has died, even so Li Liangzuo still refuses to leave the palace.
Inside Anju Palace.
Li Liangzuo was lying on the dragon couch, although his face was a little pale, but his mental state was much better than before, the reason why Li Liangzuo had been unwilling to go to the court, the injury was not all healed was a reason, and more importantly, Li Liangzuo had not yet figured out how to divide the fruits of victory, the Great Xia Empire once again achieved an unprecedented victory, and Li Liangzuo must be rewarded for his meritorious service, otherwise who will work for him in the future "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's big thing is not good, Lord Zhou Wentai and a group of ministers knelt outside the council hall, saying that they would not get up if they didn't see Your Majesty."
Xiao Fuzi stumbled in and said.
"These guys are trying to force a confession from me," Li Liangzuo said angrily: "Little Fuzi, go and tell them that if you have the ability, you will kneel in front of the main hall and die, and if you can't do it, go home quickly." ” "Yes, Servant Command."
After Xiao Fuzi received the holy decree, he immediately trotted away.
"Your Majesty really doesn't plan to see them," Wuzang Feixue walked to the dragon couch with a bowl of medicine and said to Li Liangzuo; "They are all the pillars of the Great Xia Empire and Your Majesty, Your Majesty must not be rash."
"Of course you have to see."
Li Liangzuo said with some anger: "Over the years, I have led a large army to fight in the south and the north, and I have even added officials to the generals, but these civil servants have hardly been promoted.
If I had seen them today, they would have been able to do it every time they had done this, and I would not have been able to do it. ” "Then how does Your Majesty intend to deal with this matter?"
"These cabinet ministers of mine have indeed made a lot of contributions over the years, but if you look at them, except for Gao Huaizheng and Mao Huaichang, everyone else is only in their early forties and less than fifty years old.
In fact, Li Liangzuo only said half of it, this time he came back Li Liangzuo found a very serious problem, the seven cabinet ministers of the Great Xia Empire have not moved for many years, especially the Executive Yuan Zhou Wentai is no longer a young man who just entered the summer, his protégés and former officials are basically all over the Great Xia officialdom, I don't know if I don't check, I am shocked, the power of the Zhou family has penetrated into all aspects of the Great Xia Empire in addition to the army, as for the other people, they are also similar, The Great Xia Empire has basically been monopolized by this cabinet bureaucracy.
This was a great political threat to Li Liangzuo, and Li Liangzuo felt that it was time to wage war against this bureaucracy, of course, the purpose was not to eliminate them, but to divide and weaken their power, so as to achieve a political balance in the Great Xia court, so that Li Liangzuo's imperial power would not be threatened in any way.
Inside the study of the Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Wentai asked a young man, "Xuan'er, did you enter the palace with your mother today to see your aunt and the fourth prince?"
"Father, I saw you."
Zhou Xuan said; "My aunt said that since His Majesty returned to the palace, he has lived in Anshou Palace, and no one wants to see him."
Zhou Wentai frowned and said, "Your Majesty, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?"
"Dad, do you think Your Majesty will be?"
Zhou Xuan made a posture of wiping his neck, "Child, I heard that someone has summoned King Qin and the Acting King back to Beijing." ” "Shut up."
Zhou Wentai reprimanded Zhou Xuan and said: "If this is heard by outsiders, it will be enough for you to lose your head; I'm afraid this time it's not that simple, Your Majesty is afraid that he will hold back some big move to tell all the children of the Zhou family that this time is peaceful, if something happens, the father will not be able to save them. ” "It's the father, the child remembers."
