Chapter 6 When are you leaving?

There is no friendship between the countries. Even if the Emperor of the Song Dynasty needs to call Yelu Hongji an uncle, he would never hesitate when he wanted to see that the Emperor Liao always sent him New Year's money before.

Since Yelu Hongji took the initiative to seek peace, if the Song Dynasty did not know how to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a profit, then all the ministers in the court should have hit him to death.

The Khitan, the overlord in the north, was no longer so powerful, and Yelu Hongji's ambition was also exhausted with repeated defeats.

He could see that it was not too difficult for Yun Zheng to defeat Juyong Pass. Once Yun Zheng sent a large army to Gubeikou to cut off the connection between Nanjing Road and Zhongjing Road, he had only one million troops. In this small area, it would be a great danger to compete with the two most famous generals of the world.

Mozang Epang took away countless Liao people, including the families of soldiers in his army. After learning that their family members had suffered misfortunes, the first thought was to go back immediately and snatch his relatives back from Mozang Epang.

After a detailed conversation with Wen Yanbo, Yun Zheng realized that in order to cover up the fact that Yelu Yixin deliberately sent someone to spread the news that Mozang Epang had plundered the population in Zhongjing Road in order to cover up the fact that he had lost his battle at Tongtou Pass.

This is fatal to the stability of a million troops.

The feeling of being stabbed in the back by his own people made Yelu Hongji go completely crazy. He would rather return Yanzhou to Song than get enough supplies from Song, and then go back to the north to settle the accounts with Mozang Epang, go to Yelu Xin, and go to Yelu Yixin to settle the accounts.

In fact, he did not hate Wu Zang Epang, nor did he hate Yun Zheng and Di Qing who forced him to this point. These three of them were their own enemies. Since they were enemies, then he could figure it out without any utmost. What he couldn't figure out was the betrayal of Yelu Xin and Yelu Yixin.

In his opinion, the Liao Kingdom was still a powerful empire. As long as everyone works together to repel Yun Zheng, repel Di Qing, and intimidate Wu Zang Epang and dare not advance eastward.

Therefore, the culprits who caused the Liao Kingdom to fall into such a field were Yelu Xin and Yelu Yixin. If these two people were not killed, he would think that he would not even be able to close his eyes when he died.

For the Song people, things that can be solved with money are nothing, especially things that can be solved with treasures. Then there is no need for materials.

The treasures that Yun Zheng snatched from the south are still covered in the palace treasure house. The treasures presented by maritime merchants in the south are appreciated by rats in the treasury of the Song Dynasty. This is wrong, it is a waste of resources.

However, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue disagree at all when they put treasures into the market in such a large number of treasures. In that case, it would completely destroy the luxury goods market in the Song Dynasty, which would be very unfavorable to the country, and to be precise, it would be very unfavorable to the officials.

The main consumers of luxury goods in the Song Dynasty are officials. They cannot watch the treasures they bought at a high price, and become worthless after the country has put a large amount of treasures into the market.

The reason why treasures are precious is their rareness. When the daughter of a commoner's family gets married, a huge pearl hairpin is inserted on his head. What do you ask the daughter of an official to put on his head when she gets married?

The best way is that those treasures do not exist at all!

But no one has the courage and cannot make up the determination to destroy the treasures in the treasure house.

So, when Yelu Hongji proposed to exchange the treasury of the palace for Yanzhou, all the civil and military officials in the court were happy.

After visiting the royal treasure house, the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom was deeply shocked by the treasure house of the Song Kingdom. The pearls of the coral tree more than ten feet tall, the egg-sized pearls were randomly discarded in the box, the night pearls shining under the light, the agate and tortoiseshell piled in the corner of the wall like stones. All of this made the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom's eyes become bloodshot.

The value of these treasures made him directly ignore the existence of gold and silver in the treasure house. He subconsciously believed that gold and silver did not appear in the treasure house because of insufficient value.

He didn't know that the gold, silver, and hard currency of the Song Dynasty are now stored in the Song Dynasty money houses, and have long been converted into Jiaozi according to their value and circulated in the Song Dynasty market.

He didn't know that in the Song Dynasty, the strongest purchasing power was gold and silver, as well as copper coins, followed by Jiaozi. As for treasures, one or two items would occasionally appear, and the gradually wealthy merchant class of the Song Dynasty would be hyped up to high prices. If too many of them appeared, the laws of the market would show their power and could turn the treasures into grass mustard overnight.

What's more, how could the vested interests of the Song State allow the Liao people to sell these treasures in the Song State? The only things they could take away were those treasures that were hungry, thirsty, and they could not drink.

Those things are very suitable for burying dead people, and they are definitely not suitable for leaving them for a living person who needs food and drink.

After the Song Dynasty easily solved the Yanzhou situation, the rest was to drive Yun Zheng away. For this reason, the old emperor did not hesitate to use his wife to attack him. After weighing the pros and cons, killing Yun Zheng was simply the most brainless decision in the world.

Not to mention that Yun Zheng would rebel with his subordinates who were loyal to him, the criticism of the historians alone would make them lose the intention to kill Yun Zheng.

The biggest danger is that once Yun Zheng causes chaos, the current good situation in the Song Dynasty will be completely destroyed.

Wu Zixu's example is right in front of you. Even if you kill the Yun family, once Yun Zheng wants to take revenge with the help of the enemy's power, he will definitely do more viciously than Wu Zixu. This is the answer given by Yun Zheng's gentleman Lu Qingyuan.

After widely soliciting opinions from royal families, nobles, nobles, and civil servants, they believed that after they put Yun Zheng on the altar, they would send him overseas to be a god.

Anyway, Yun Zheng had already said that he was going to the sea, and his brother had already found territory for the Yun family on the sea. This was a happy thing for everyone. Yun Zheng's achievements had reached its peak, so he wanted to go to the sea to find the vague overseas fairy mountains. What a good ending!

What should go away, what should stay stay. The Song Dynasty also has an honest and reliable commander like Di Qing to shock the three armies. This is excellent. The emperor and officials of the Song Dynasty have seen enough, and no one likes to look at themselves with the look of looking at dogs.

The Song Dynasty has undergone great changes in recent years. Tracing the root cause, the seedlings are not in Yun Zheng, but in his younger brother. The scholars and officials have discovered many bad signs, such as merchants who are so bold that they can argue with their own opinions.

The huge and unfriendly business family of the Cui family finally broke into pieces after Cui Da mysteriously disappeared. So the scholars and officials began to regain their lost territory and firmly controlled the branches of the Cui family under the emperor's banner. The main method was to give the Cui family the three imperial merchants, under the conspiracy of killing three scholars.

The Cui family's side branches were completely lost.

On the far away grassland in western Yunnan, a magnificent house suddenly caught fire. The herds escaped from the house in panic, but the only one who did not escape were two pampered masters.

Han Lin watched helplessly as someone killed King Xin and his officials, watched the agile men in black set fire to the house, and watched them flee into the wilderness and then put on the clothes of the Song army and continued patrolling.

Han Lin, who fulfilled his promise, packed his bags and embarked on the long and lonely road alone...

The crowd of people celebrating their victory all night long. The skilled craftsmen of Baoying Bureau are constantly creating the roving and crowns of His Highness and Princess Yan and Princess Yan day and night. The skilled hand weaving lady of the Weaving Bureau is urging the empress dowager to make dragon robe and phoenix clothes with needle and thread...

All this has something to do with Yun Zheng. At this time, Yun Zheng was pillowing on his blue chest and staring at the blue sky on the grassland in a daze.

When everyone wants to leave, he finds that this hope will become real pressure.

"When will we go to the sea?" Lan Lan knew that Yun Zheng was very annoyed by this question now, but he still asked it. (To be continued.)
