Chapter 285: Barely passed
On the night of the killing of the impeachment bowl, Zhao Yan invited Zhao Yan to his cabin, and asked people to prepare a few drinks and food, ready to talk to him, but after Zhao Yan came in, he didn't say a word, and kept drinking alcohol, which made Zhao Yan think that Zhao Yan was worried about going back and being punished, so he sighed and said: "Now you know that you are afraid, if you can think about the consequences before you start, you will not fall to this point!" ”
"Afraid? Afraid of what? Zhao Yan, who was drinking stuffy wine, raised his head and looked at Zhao Yan in surprise when he heard this, and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Aren't you worried about being punished by your father when you go back?" Zhao Yan also asked strangely, Zhao Yan drank alcohol as soon as he came in, what else could he be besides worrying about being punished when he went back?
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Yan laughed out loud, and after a long while, he stopped laughing and said: "Big brother, you misunderstood, I am indeed worried, but I am not worried about going back to be punished, but I calculate the time, Ning'er is probably about to give birth, this is my first child, how can I not worry?" ”
"You...... You...... What do you want me to say about you? Zhao Yan couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhao Yan to be worried about the birth of a concubine at this time, but he didn't take the possible punishment to heart at all.
It took a long time for Zhao Yan to breathe down, sit down and drink a glass of wine, and then remembered the reason why he called Zhao Yan today, and immediately asked: "Third brother, let's talk about the punishment later, but you should sue me now, and suddenly kill the reason for the impeachment, right?" ”
Zhao Yan knew that Zhao Yan would ask this question, but he didn't know how to explain this matter to the other party. After all, it is impossible for him to sue Zhao Xuan, after a few decades, Wanyan will suddenly rise, and then sweep the Liao State with thousands of troops, and it only took five years to destroy the Great Liao, and then it took another year to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, this kind of thing is even more outrageous than legendary novels, even if Zhao Yan says it, I'm afraid Zhao Xuan will not believe it.
After thinking about it, Zhao Yan couldn't think of any reasonable explanation, and finally had to say a little scoundrelly: "Big brother, I'm worried about whether my first child will be born now. I don't have the heart to talk about it. So let's talk about it at another time? ”
"No, you have to give me an explanation today, otherwise you don't want to go back!" Zhao Yan didn't give Zhao Yan a chance to play tricks at all, he had to figure out what Zhao Yan was thinking in his head?
Seeing Zhao Ji's attitude so resolute. Zhao Yan was also very helpless. Finally, after thinking about it, he suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Big brother." In the past few years since you came into contact with the government, is it the Liao State that is in danger to us, or the Western Xia is in danger to us? ”
Hearing Zhao Yan suddenly ask this question. Zhao Ji couldn't help but be stunned, only to see him frown and think for a moment, and then he spoke: "Although the Liao State is strong, it used to be the number one enemy of our Great Song Dynasty, but over the years, in addition to the annual Grass Valley, there have been very few conflicts with our Great Song Dynasty, and we have also restrained ourselves in fighting the Grass Valley, and our losses every year are also very limited, as for the Western Xia side, ......."
When it came to Western Xia, Zhao Ji pondered for a moment, and finally said with a look of resentment: "Compared to the Liao State, Western Xia is a complete bandit, every year he will provoke wars in the frontier, and he also set up a capturing army, not only to rob grain and money, but also to rob people, I heard that there is a special Han slave trading business in Western Xia, and those Han slaves are all robbed from my Great Song Dynasty, plus the Western Xia people do not produce, and they come to my Great Song Dynasty to rob what they need, it is like a cancer, so in comparison, Or is the Western Xia more dangerous to us, and it is precisely because of this that both the father and the minister of the court regard the Western Xia as the first enemy to be eliminated! ”
"Yes, the Liao State used to be a great threat to us, but after so many years of peaceful coexistence, the wildness of the Liao State belonging to the nomadic people has been worn out, and the Khitan people learned agriculture, industry, commerce, etc. from our Han people, and the difference between the two is very small, but the party members of the Western Xia have not been established for a long time, although they have learned from my Great Song Dynasty everywhere, but there is still a barbarism in their bones, and they can only rob us by force, which also leads us to lose a lot of people and property every year."
When he said this, Zhao Yan paused for a moment and then said: "The threat of the Liao State to our Great Song Dynasty is already very small, especially after this rebellion of Yelu Chongyuan, it will be even more vigorous, and it may not be able to ease up for a few years or even decades, but in case the Liao State suddenly falls at this time, and then a nation that is more barbaric than the Western Xia people rises, big brother, what do you think will become of my Great Song Dynasty at that time?" ”
"This ......" Hearing Zhao Yan's last assumption, Zhao Ji was also shocked for a moment, and then frowned and said, "Third brother, do you mean that if we help the Yan Ministry, it is likely that they will rise quickly, and even replace the Liao State and become our biggest enemy in the north?" ”
"Yes, that's what I mean, although the Wanyan Department is still very weak now, and there are only a few thousand warriors, but they are only the most powerful of the Jurchens, and the Jurchens are the biggest threat to the Liao State, and now the Liao State has deployed most of the domestic forces in the north, in order to prevent the Jurchens, in case the Wanyan Department grows up, and even unifies the Jurchens, it is not impossible to destroy the Liao State at that time, and even our Great Song Dynasty will usher in a catastrophe!" Zhao Yan also said solemnly at this time.
After listening to Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Yan also fell silent, intellectually speaking, he didn't believe Zhao Yan's words, especially a tribe like Wanyan that only had a few thousand soldiers could destroy the Liao State, which was more like a fantasy. But seeing Zhao Yan's solemn expression, he intuitively thought that Zhao Yan was definitely not lying, and even seemed to be absolutely sure, this strange feeling made Zhao Yan also have to seriously consider the possibility in Zhao Yan's words.
Zhao Yan saw that Zhao Yan's expression was already a little loose, and immediately increased his strength again: "Big brother, in the past half a year of Wanyan Department, I have also been observing the Jurchens, and I want to find out why the Jurchens, who are like savages, have become the henchmen of the Liao Kingdom?" ”
When he said this, Zhao Yan paused again, and then said: "As a result, although the means of livelihood of my current Jurchens are very primitive, and they can't eat enough to fish and hunt every day, but the men in the tribe have to learn the skills of archery and hunting since they were young, and they are also proficient in the cooperation of small teams, plus they are not afraid of death, they can be said to be natural warriors, although Zhou Dong and their personal martial arts are outstanding, one can fight ten Jurchens, but if thirty Jurchens cooperate with the battle, they can only escape, if there are hundreds of Jurchens, Then they are definitely dead and alive, such terrible warriors, if they are really organized, the Liao State that is in turmoil may not be able to support it! ”
"This ......" Zhao Ji was finally a little moved when he heard this, although he was a little skeptical about the rise of the Wanyan Department to destroy the Liao State, but he already believed in his heart that the Jurchens had become a potential threat to the Great Song Dynasty, but there was a Liao State separated from this threat, so it was not very obvious, but in case the Liao State fell, the Great Song Dynasty would directly face this threat.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji finally spoke: "Okay, I barely believe that you destroyed this alliance because you were afraid that the rise of Wanyan would threaten our Great Song Dynasty, but although I believe it, Daddy may also believe some of it, but if you want to make Han Qi's gang believe this reason, it is basically impossible, and you will inevitably be punished at that time." ”
"Haha, punish it, anyway, I'm a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and I have been punished more before, and it is not bad this time!" Zhao Yan laughed when he heard this, what he said was the truth, Zhao Yan was indeed punished for messing around in the past, but he was a prince, even if he was punished, it was at most a grounding or something, it was nothing at all.
Zhao Yan saw that Zhao Yan didn't care at all, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, but at the same time he was a little envious, because Zhao Yan was different from him, he was the future prince of the Great Song Dynasty, so he had to take into account the reaction of the courtiers in every word and deed, but Zhao Yan just wanted to be an idle king, and he didn't put the throne in his eyes at all, so naturally he didn't need to look at the faces of those courtiers, anyway, he was the prince, as long as he didn't rebel, no one dared to do anything to him.
finally made Zhao Ji believe his own reasons, Zhao Yan also felt a little tired, and then accompanied Zhao Ji to drink a few glasses, and then got up to say goodbye, but Zhao Ji suddenly stopped him at this time and said: "Wait a minute, you are not here these days, the second sister and they all thought that you were with me, so they sent a lot of letters, and now they are all here with me, and I forgot to hand them over to you yesterday." ”
Zhao Yan said and stood up and took out a box from the cabinet next to him and handed it to Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan opened it and looked at it, and now there was a thick stack of letters inside, he probably took a look, and now there are letters from the second sister Princess Bao'an, the third sister Princess Shoukang, and Xue Ning'er, but there are only no words from Cao Ying, which makes him smile bitterly, it seems that Cao Ying has guessed that she is not with Zhao Ji, and I am afraid that the second letter in Su Shi's hand has also been handed over to her.
At this moment, Zhao Ji asked people to take two more burdens and handed them to Zhao Yandao: "These two burdens are the things that the second sister and they let people bring, the first burden is some clothes and supplies, which is very common, but I can't see the things in the second baggage, or you can see it yourself!" ”
Zhao Yan's words to Zhao Yan were also a little strange, he didn't care about the first burden at the moment, but directly opened the second burden, but when he saw the things inside, Zhao Yan also stood up in surprise, and even rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong?
