The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 247

The whole floor is covered with thick carpets, and you have to remove your shoes and socks before entering. Fortunately, the earth dragon heater makes the place warm like spring.

Yang Lin was lying barefoot on the couch, holding a Taoist scripture and reading it vigorously, when suddenly the door opened.

Yang Lin didn't care about the few people who could enter his study room without knocking. As expected, the Xiangge door was pushed open, and Duan Miaozhen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came.

When Princess Dali saw Yang Lin, she smiled from the bottom of her heart, like a flower just blooming, unparalleled in beauty.

Yang Lin threw the book away and opened his arms. Duan Miaozhen took off her shoes and socks and threw herself into his arms.

"Miss me?" Yang Lin asked knowingly.

Humming lightly, Duan Miaozhen just came in from the outside, her body was slightly chilled, and she didn't want to move when she got into Yang Lin's arms.

Duan Miaozhen was startled when she suddenly heard a thin gossamer panting, she raised her head and looked back, her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

Under the screen, Li Yunniang Hao was hanging by a red string on her wrist, squatting in front of the screen, with a cane in her mouth.

"Lin Lang, what kind of Zhang Zhi is this? It's the poor man's fault?" Duan Miaozhen said in a low voice.

"This prostitute has been disobedient several times, and she disobeyed me, so I will teach her a lesson while I have nothing to do." Yang Lin said while touching Yun Niang with his toe, making her even more embarrassed.

Li Yunniang's appearance was looked at by others, her face was so red that she was about to bleed, Duan Miaozhen couldn't bear it even more, and pleaded: "Sister Yunniang must have known she was wrong, so please forgive her."

Yang Lin put his arms around Duan Miaozhen's slender waist, put her on his lap, and said with a smile: "My dear Zhen'er is begging for you, it's your fate, will you dare to do it in the future?"

Li Yunniang endured the humiliation and shook her head slightly. It turned out that the other end of the red rope was tied to Yang Lin's hand. She gently pulled the live button to untie it, and then she sat down on the carpet.

An hour later, Yang Lin was slightly out of breath, and told Yunniang to get dressed and bring a cup of tea. She lowered her head and asked Duan Miaozhen in her arms, "What has your father been up to lately?"

Duan Miaozhen twisted her body, adjusted her comfortable posture, and said: "Daddy recites scriptures with uncle every day, or else he teaches brothers and sisters homework, I don't see anything else to do."

Yang Lin nodded, and said: "Your Duan family's Buddhism is profound, I am going to play the Ming Emperor, and let your father go there next year when we fight Tubo. Tubo people believe in Buddhism, so we can't just attack them blindly, we have to find a way to get rid of them." Religiously let the Tibetans return to their hearts."

The Tubo Dynasty collapsed a long time ago, but the Song Dynasty and even the later Yuan and Ming Dynasties habitually referred to those scattered tribes as Tubo or Xibo.

If Tubo is hit, the divided Tubo people will not be able to unite, and they will not be able to resist the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.But if you want to completely subdue them, you probably have to start with Buddhism.

After the death of Dama, the last Tubo king at the end of the Tang Dynasty, due to the dispute between his two sons, Yongdan, who was adopted by the eldest princess, and Ou Song, who was born to the younger concubine, the ministers were divided into two factions. Since then, the Tubo royal family has been divided into two , Year after year of melee.

Tubo's generals in various places also joined forces to rule the roost and competed with each other. Some tribes that belonged to Tubo in the past also broke away from Tubo's jurisdiction one after another.

Immediately afterwards, a slave civilian uprising broke out and swept the entire Tibet region. Under such a situation, the Tubo Dynasty collapsed with the decline of Buddhism.

After the establishment of Xixia, it posed a common threat to Song Dynasty and Tubo. Jointly defend against the invasion and harassment of the Xixia people.

Song general Wang Shao opened up a large amount of land in Linxia and Lintao, Gansu today, recruiting more than 30 Tibetans to cultivate.The famous tea-horse trade was also carried out in Ya'an, Sichuan, Linxia, ​​Gansu, and some areas in Shaanxi, which were specially set up by the Song Dynasty, and started the regular and regular trading of horses in Tibetan areas and tea in Han areas for hundreds of years afterwards.

In other words, when the Song Dynasty sends troops to Tubo, there will be hundreds of thousands of leading parties.

At that time, it is only necessary to send a Buddhist representative to stabilize the place with religion from top to bottom, and it should be possible to slowly bring this group of people who have been tortured by war into the arms of Song Dynasty.

Although Tubo was torn apart, the ancestors of Tubo conquered the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with great vigor, from the south of the Tianshan Mountains in the north, to the Juyan Sea, to the southern foot of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and India in the south, and the entire Kashmir region.

Duan Zhengchun has completely lost Dali's popularity, not to mention proclaiming himself emperor after returning, even if he was sent back to Dali, he would not dare to go back by himself.

The former emperor of Dali, it is still possible to go to Tubo to be a living Buddha, after all, they are all real Buddhists.

The south is becoming more and more stable, and in the future, we will have the confidence to confront the formidable enemy in the north.

If Tubo is successfully captured, Zhao Ji, the mascot emperor, will conquer more territory than Zhao Kuangyin in just a few years

However, considering the intricate power relations in Tubo, it may take a long time to completely calm down Tubo.And unlike Dali, there are no shortcuts here. Fortunately, Yang Lin regards it as a sharpening stone for General Song.

There is still time in the Song Dynasty, and the Jin soldiers have not yet had the opportunity to go south.

The Jurchens are not very confident yet, and they will inevitably feel a little afraid in the face of the giant Khitan.

So they will agree to Khitan's peace request, and hope to establish diplomatic relations with Song Dynasty, eager for recognition from the outside world.

Once Yelu Yanxi's personal conquest failed, and Khitan's external powers and middle-ranking officials were completely exposed, it was time for the Jurchens to release their animal nature.

In the history of later generations, facing the Song Dynasty, they did the same.

It was because of Tong Guan's repeated battles and defeats when he was attacking Yan, the Jin people saw that the Liao soldiers he bullied at will could kill the Song army, which aroused the Jurchen's desire to go south.

This year, the Liao people and the Jin people sent envoys to the Song Dynasty at the same time. The two groups met, but nothing happened in the capital of the Song Dynasty.

The battle between Liao and Jin was an opportunity for Da Song to strengthen himself. With the joint efforts of Cai Jing and Yang Lin, Da Song could intervene and profit from it when the war was stalemate.

But now, it is best for the Song Dynasty not to help each other, and not to be dragged into this war and lose the opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Chapter 293 The Red Sun Astrology Falls into the North City

Now that the Spring Festival is here, it is naturally still the same old process.

Early in the morning, I followed Zhao Ji to pretend to worship the heavens, and then there was a state banquet to receive the envoys of Fanbang.

The Liao envoy Xiao Baoxian glared at the Jurchens standing opposite him. Now Xiao Baoxian regards them as rebellious traitors who will be wiped out by His Majesty's army. He is very dissatisfied with the Song court accepting the Jurchen mission.

From Xiao Baoxian's point of view, this is like Fang La sending people to the capital, and Daliao entertaining Fang La's people as envoys from other countries.

"How can these Jurchen bandits go to the Golden Palace and go to the Song Dynasty like us? This is too absurd!" Xiao Baoxian sternly reprimanded, not taking the emperor of the Song Dynasty seriously.

Zhao Ji's face was a little gloomy, and logically speaking, he was indeed at fault.

Cai You took the first step, pointed at Xiao Baoxian and said, "Bold, how dare you be so disrespectful to my emperor."

Xiao Baoxian was not afraid, and said angrily: "If the Song court does not expel these rebels, the Daliao iron cavalry will seek justice for Khitan."

The monarchs and ministers in the hall are still afraid of Khitan at this moment. After all, Song Dynasty has been suppressed and beaten by Khitan for a hundred years, with almost no victories.

Cai You, who was one step ahead, stood in front of the hall, a little bit stuck, and looked at his own father as if asking for help.

The old god Cai Jing was there, he didn't seem to see it, and he didn't have the slightest intention to come out to rescue him.

My son is too impetuous, if this is a good opportunity to flatter, is it your turn?

This temple has better legs than yours, eighty if not one hundred. Looking at Yang Lin again, he really looks like he is watching the excitement.

Cai Jing shook his head secretly in his heart, he should have a son like Yang Wenyuan, fortunately one of his sons has already worshiped under his sect, he hoped to learn a little tact and support the glory of the Cai family in the future.

How did he know that his third son, Cai Tao, was being educated by Yang Lin to become a saint who was about to succeed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, Yang Lin stepped forward lightly, and said, "Don't panic, the envoy of the Liao Dynasty. Our Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and we always pay attention to treating people with courtesy. After the Jurchens established the country, we sent envoys to Song Dynasty. There is no reason to reject them. You must know that you Khitans treated Xixia in the same way back then, how long has it been since then, does anyone in the whole Khitan country remember?"

Cai Jing's complexion moved slightly, what did Yang Wenyuan mean? He just praised him for his tact, so why did he come out and commit suicide like this?

In case the Khitan army went south, wouldn't he be responsible for the crime and would never be able to remove it?
