After Yelu Hongji sent Zhao Xiaoyan away, he took the people to the main hall of the palace as if nothing had happened and sat on the imperial throne.

Not long after, officials from the Ministry of Rites led the envoy from the Song Court of the Southern Dynasty to the palace.

"According to the order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Lin Xi, the clan of the Song Dynasty, wishes His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty a happy and prosperous life!"

As he said that, the Southern Dynasty civil servant who was wearing a red robe and wearing a squid head and looked handsome, bowed and bowed.

When Yelu Hongji listened, he felt refreshed and extremely happy!

Because the other party said that he would come to congratulate the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty on his orders.

And in the past, to be precise, this situation did not exist two years ago.

At that time, the Southern Dynasty envoy came to say at most [Congratulations to the Northern Dynasty emperors].

Even, at some times they would say, ‘Congratulations to the Great Khitan Emperor, how it is].

How could it be called the Great Liao Dynasty like now?

What does this mean?

It shows that under the rule of Yelu Hongji, the Great Liao Dynasty, even the Southern Dynasty ruler and minister who had always been arrogant and refused to admit that the Great Liao was also a minister of the Southern Dynasty, had to lower their arrogant heads and treat the Song and Liao equally.

Cool!

Yelu Hongji couldn't help but remember that decades ago, when Ouyang Xiu, the Wenzong of the Southern Dynasty, wrote the "New History of the Five Dynasties", he included the Great Liao in the category of the [Four Barbarians].

The corners of my mouth slightly raised, and my mood became brighter.

Because when this book was passed to Liao territory, his father was furious after reading it.

Immediately through all diplomatic channels, I expressed serious protests and strong dissatisfaction with the Southern Dynasty.

Why do you put the Great Liao in the [Four Barbarians]?!

Who gave you the courage?

Um?

As early as when Taizu established his country, our Daliao revered Confucius as a saint, opened imperial examinations and selected scholars, and used civil officials to assist him.

Since the descendants of the Holy Sect, it has become [like China] and [the great era of culture and education].

So, a slander lawsuit broke out.

The scholars of the Southern Dynasties insisted that [a gentleman should be in the middle and the king should seek great unification], and believed that the Song Dynasty should be in the middle and that it should be in the right way for China to be in the right orthodox.

Liao is a northern alien race. Even if it is [using Chinese etiquette], it does not belong to China, let alone orthodox.

At that time, the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom advocated that "the princes will be rituals, and the rituals will be rituals, and the rituals will be rituals", so the Great Liao also belonged to the Xia.

Therefore, the relationship between Song and Liao is actually the relationship between Qin and Jin, Qi and Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period.

However, in the field of culture, the Great Liao was indeed no match for the literati of the Southern Dynasty.

Within a few rounds, the literati of the Southern Dynasty were speechless.

There was no choice but to give up the title "The One Who Has the Treasures of Nationality" in the seventh year of Chongxi to win over the supremacy (the Liao people disguised the seal obtained by Emperor Taizong of Liao from the Later Jin Dynasty as the seal of the imperial examination room, using it as one of the legal principles for fighting for orthodoxy. Emperor Shengzong of Liao also wrote poems to praise the orthodoxy of the Liao Kingdom).

If you lose, you will lose.

It is a fact that I have never tried my best!

But fortunately, the Southern Dynasty was defeated on the battlefield.

Yuan Hao in the northwest rebelled, the Southern Dynasties suppressed the rebellion, and three defeats in three battles, and all his underwear was completely stripped off.

This made the Liao Dynasty extremely excited at that time - you, Bian Bang, could not even beat the Dangxiang people, what is China? You dare to be arrogant with me? You dare to be among the four barbarians?

I'm gonna be!

Is there such orthodoxy since ancient times?

Think about the great man and the Tang Dynasty. When did people get so humiliated?

Let’s look at my Great Liao again, who is a descendant of the Great Han Dynasty and a minister of the Tang Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty no longer exists, and the Tang Dynasty is destroyed.

This Chinese orthodox should be inherited by our Great Liao!

The Bian bandits were just thieves who occupied the Central Plains!

So, Liu Liufu was sent south, and after some coercion and inducement, the Southern Dynasty forced the Southern Dynasty to sign a peace agreement.

But the Southern Dynasty’s mouth is really hard!

Even though he was swollen by the Dangxiang people on the battlefield, even if he was frightened by Liu Liufu at the negotiating table, he signed a new peace agreement.

But that mouth was unwilling to give in at all.

So much so that Yelu Hongji's father did not wait until his death, and the Southern Dynasty monarch surrendered.

But now...

His father, grandfather, great-grandfather, was recognized by the Southern Dynasty that he had never been able to get through his hard work.

But it was realized in his hands!

After the new emperor of the Southern Dynasty ascended the throne, he sent envoys over repeatedly, and although the envoys were still arrogant.

The words and contents of the Chinese letter made him feel very comfortable.

Just like now, the civil servants of the Southern Dynasty in the palace, although they held their heads with their heads raised, they looked like a "scholar can be killed but not humiliated" and tried to imagine him and his ministers as barbarians who were eating raw meat and drinking blood.

But in his mouth, he still has to say [I wish you all the best to congratulate Emperor Daliao on Tianan Day and wish him all the best to be prosperous and prosperous].

This attitude made Yelu Hongji feel more comfortable and refreshing.

So he nodded softly, just like when he was young, he met a beauty, and said softly: "Send someone to be free from gifts!"

He also ordered his subordinates: "Hurry and give thrones to the envoys of the Song Dynasty!"

Someone moved in and put the chairs from the north into the hall.

After the Song envoy sat down, Yelu Hongji asked with a smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor of your country and the Empress Dowager, can the Empress Dowager be at peace soon?"

"Thank you for the care of Emperor Daliao..." Lin Xi was sitting straight, like his countless predecessors, in the court of the Northern Lu, straightened his waist and raised his chest high, working hard to boost his energy, maintaining the pride of the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty, and answered neither humbly nor arrogantly: "My lord, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, Your Highness, Everything is safe!"

"My lord, I also ask the foreign minister to say hello to His Majesty and to His Highness the Grand Prince of the Great Liao..."

"After the servants return to the country, I will convey my gratitude to the emperor of your country on my behalf. When this year's Xinglong Festival, I will send an envoy to thank you!" Yelu Hongji replied with a chuckling.

Lin Xi stood up to thank him, and then said, "Report to the Emperor of the Great Liao..."

"Only my lord ordered his ministers to congratulate His Majesty on the Holy Day and continue the alliance between the Song and Liao brothers..."

"The foreign minister has another mission here..."

Yelu Hongji narrowed his eyes.

What could he guess?

Since the beginning of this year, whenever Song envoy comes, he will nag in front of him about the weapon of the war, which the saint had no choice but to intervene in the Goryeo war and act as a mediator.

Just like in the past decades, the Liao Dynasty has tried every means to intervene in the war in Song Xia and acted as a mediator.

This is all normal!

What's more, the war machines of the Liao Kingdom are almost operating on cheap goods from the Southern Dynasties.

Therefore, the Liao Kingdom all agreed to this matter.

Of course, the Southern Dynasty said it, and the Great Liao Quan listened to nonsense.

Just give those millions of dollars to Jiaozi!

Lin Xi bowed and said, "My lord, His Majesty, is a kind and sage, and cannot bear to see your country and the Goryeo military and civilians, and he died innocently..."

"God has the virtue of living a life..."

"In ancient times, gentlemen could not bear to die when they saw their lives, and could not bear to eat their flesh when they heard their voices..."

Yelu Hongji listened to these cliches and shook his head gently.

Until, the Southern Dynasty envoy in the palace suddenly appeared: "Besides, Goryeo has sent an envoy to offer my master..."

"Respecting the Song Dynasty as the righteous, respecting our lord as the respect, and conducting our dynasty calendar, year name..."

"As the sect leader, my emperor, has his own obligation to persuade the two countries to stop the war..."

Yelu Hongji immediately sat upright.

The nobles of the Liao Kingdom in the hall all widened their eyes and stared at the ignorant Southern Dynasty envoy in the hall.

Destroy Goryeo and conquer Japan.

This is the food and clothing department of the millions of canal workers in the Liao Kingdom today!

Especially the interests of the military nobles in the North Court.

It is through war that there are miracles of rapid progress after rapid progress.

Not only that, the major nobles are also relying on war to grow and develop their respective strengths.
