Appendix: Fanwai 1——(2/2)
Come and ask.
After hearing the words, Xiao Ta finally burst into laughter, and then sighed sadly for a moment: "The Ai family understands the late emperor's intention, and also knows the painstaking efforts of the king and all his officials..."
At this point, Empress Dowager Xiao, who was still in her prime, stood up, looked around, and said seriously: "As we all know, this dynasty is called Liao Tongxu. In fact, it traveled thousands of miles to re-establish the country. Last year, when the household registration was calculated, Husi Olu
Duo's "old people" only have 240,000 households. With the foundation of 240,000 households to control the territory of thousands of miles, they are naturally walking on thin ice. And the biggest reliance outside, that is, the ally of the Song Dynasty has "one hundred thousand people"
From the words of the public, it can be seen that the alliance is important, but foreign affairs are only foreign affairs after all, and we can only truly rely on ourselves... Dear sirs, the late emperor asked us to read these letters. First of all, they are to remind us that we must maintain the alliance, but more importantly
The important thing is that after he leaves, the country will fight for power and gain, and lose the spirit of unity that has traveled thousands of miles to build the country, so that civil strife will occur and the building will collapse, so I am particularly vigilant!"
"Queen Mother Shengming!"
After hearing this, Marshal Xiao Orila immediately took a few steps back and knelt down towards Empress Dowager Xiao on the spot. Then he took out a dagger from his waist, opened his palm and pointed to the sky: "The country was destroyed, and the late emperor traveled tens of thousands of miles.
So I have the foundation in the West Sea River. I am a lost dog. I received the great favor of the late emperor and followed the Western Expedition. I was awarded the title of marshal and became the king... In this life, I must regard the bones and blood of the late emperor as the orthodoxy. If I deviate from it in the slightest, I will not be allowed to live.
It’s a good death to die without being able to return home and have a good burial!”
The rest of the officials woke up one after another. Regardless of whether the Khitans were ridiculing the Han women or Zhen Bohai, they all knelt down and swore an oath to show their unity.
After April, in the middle of winter, Zhao Jiu waited in Yanjing for the coffin of Yelu Dashi's bones. With mixed emotions, he went out of the city to greet him in person. However, in addition to many expected diplomatic matters, he was surprised to receive the coffin.
A 'reply letter'.
When I opened the letter, there was only one sentence.
As the saying goes:
"The flowers on the road are blooming, so you should slowly return home. However, it is difficult to cross the mountain. Who will feel sad for those who have lost their way?"
There are two signatures, namely: "Empress Dowager Xiaota of the Liao Dynasty does not smoke and respects peace", and "Marshal Xiao Weili of the Military and Horse Capital of the Liao Dynasty writes".
After Zhao Jiu finished reading, he was silent for a long time in the cold wind before he came back to his senses. Then he calmly put away the letter and looked back at Yue Fei, the deputy envoy to the Privy Council who was accompanying him:
"Although Dashi is dead, the destiny of the Western Liao Dynasty has not declined, so it is better to establish Dali first."
Yue Fei naturally raised his hand and said yes.
