580. February 26, five years, sunny, family affairs, state affairs, world affairs
Before Song Beiyun, the envoys of Song State were waiting for the first time. They submitted a letter of state to protest the crimes committed by some people in the Liao Kingdom against important officials of Song State, and demanded that the murderer be thoroughly investigated from now on. If it is not dealt with, Song State will investigate on its own.
This is a very serious diplomatic incident, and if the people of Song State were asked to deal with it, the Liao State could be said to be disgraced. As the Emperor of Liao, Fo Baonu was already passive enough, and if the team of Song State intervened in this matter, what face would she have?
So she rejected the request of the envoy of the Song State in a very formal tone, but the premise of rejection was to start investigating the matter according to the formal process.
This incident is much more terrifying than the prince of Dali teasing the princess of Liao. First, it is an assassination incident, and second, it is Song Beiyun, who is extremely difficult in the field of diplomacy.
Putting aside private relationships, the Emperor of Liao was very reluctant to contact diplomats like Song Beiyun. He was assassinated very frequently. After the last time, the grassland lost nearly twenty years of development rights, and this time it was Liao's turn.
Anyone who has seen his ability in the diplomatic field actually has no hope of dealing with him. When the Ministry of Rites of Liao Kingdom heard that this guy was coming back to complain, the entire Ministry of Rites was full of heads.
"I, Yelu Fobaonu, the emperor of Liao." Fobaonu sat in the hall, patted the dragon throne and shouted loudly: "Do you know whose fault is being forced into such a situation by a Song minister?"
The officials below were silent because the assassination of Song Beiyun and the scapegoat of the King of the South Court were now full of rumors. This matter was discussed from the court to the people. Some people said that the Yelu family wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the leader of the Xiao family, some people said that some people in Liao wanted to instigate the confrontation between Song and Liao, and some people said that foreign tribes wanted to take the opportunity to alienate Song and Liao.
Anyway, there are many different opinions, but everyone knows that this matter is definitely not caused by foreigners’ intervention, but by the fact that some people in their Yelu family are deliberately trying to do so.
"As a minister, the king is worried and the minister is exhausted, and the king is humiliated and the minister dies." Fo Baonu continued: "Now you, the emperor of Liao, are ridden on your neck. What about you? What are you doing?"
There was still silence below. What could they do? If Song Beiyun came to find fault on purpose, then they could fight with reason and fight with their lives. But they came to seek justice. Although they were a little aggressive, he was the one who was assassinated.
This matter is absolutely impossible to understand hastily. Judging from the furious Emperor Liao, it is estimated that a group of people will be implicated in the end.
Today, the King of the South Court was not present because he wanted to avoid suspicion, but everyone knew that the most irritable person was not the Liao Emperor, but the King of the South Court who inexplicably took the blame.
"Your Majesty, I think..." The Minister of Justice of the Liao Kingdom walked up and said, "I think this matter can be transferred to Dali Temple for investigation."
The Dali Temple Minister suddenly stared at the top of his eyes: "Dali Temple??? Isn't this the category of your Lord Zhou?"
The Minister of Justice coughed and said, "Your Majesty, I have three reasons. First, although Song Beiyun is a minister of the Song Dynasty, our Daliao also granted a title. The Ministry of Justice should not question people with titles at will. Second, this matter may be far-reaching. It is not possible to execute it in a small Ministry of Justice. It is better to join Dali Temple with Zongzheng Temple..."
At this point, I have actually expressed the thoughts of the ministers who were vented for no reason. Dali Temple and Zongzheng Temple dealt with it. To put it bluntly, it was done by the people of your Yelu family. I just don’t know which Yelu it is.
Fo Baonu's face turned red with anger. She stood up and pointed at the Minister of Justice: "Zhou Youwei! What do you mean?"
The Minister of Justice lowered his head, took a deep breath and said, "It's the minister who made a mistake..."
If Xiao Song saw the current appearance of Fo Baonu, he would probably jump out to argue with others. This is the case with the wrong position. It is normal to be bullied by his ministers. Li Shimin also came here in the past. He was bullied for many years, but he was bullied in groups.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is better to leave this matter to the Marquis of Lin'an to deal with it by himself. Although Lin'an is a minister of Song, he said that Datian was also the one who received the title of Daliao." The Minister of Dali Temple stood up and said, "I have also met Marquis of Lin'an. I believe that he is indeed capable of handling such affairs."
The criminal case of the Liao Kingdom was investigated by the ministers of the Song Kingdom. If you say this, you will be terrified of laughter.
But these ministers actually... dared to raise them. This shows how deep the conflict between these people and the nobles is.
Miaoyan, who had been listening through the screen, suddenly remembered a joke about the Soviet Union. A reporter asked a Pole and said what he wanted to see most. The Pole replied that he wanted to see China the most attack on Poland one day. The reporter asked him why, and he said that Moscow would be slapped twice in this way.
This is what these ministers mean now. They seem to be shirking each other, but in fact, these people are very neatly paced just to fight those nobles and even don’t even want to face them.
Seeing this scene, Fo Baonu gradually calmed down. She finally realized what conflicts are that are difficult to reconcile among all classes, especially after Song Beiyun's indiscriminate harvest, this contradiction is even more obvious. Now that these ministers find opportunities to mess with the old nobles, they are naturally one hundred and twenty willing.
Even if this incident may damage the Liao Kingdom and the face of the Liao Emperor, they did not care, and they were even a little excited.
Fo Baonu shook his head gently, stood up and walked away. Halfway through his walk, he waved his hands to these court officials and told them to get out of here.
The Buddha Baonu who had left the court returned to the upper study room and sat there rubbing his temples. He felt that his heart was fucked. She had expected that there would be a shirk, but she did not expect such a strange situation. The originally distinctive gang of civil officials actually reached a strange unity in this matter.
This is not a good thing for an emperor.
At this time, Miaoyan brought a few eunuchs in. She smiled and took the lotus seed soup from the eunuch after entering the room: "Your Majesty, eat some curtains to clear your liver and brighten your eyes."
"You come and mock it too, right?" Fo Baonu looked up laughing and crying: "I'm almost annoyed here."
"That's right." Miaoyan sat next to him and looked at the frowning Fo Baonu: "After this incident, you will find that the situation in the Liao Kingdom is about to be reshuffled. The three groups of the new nobles, old nobles and civil officials will give you a headache every day."
"Then why is there no Song State..."
"They have no old nobles and no civil servants."
The Song Dynasty was actually very strange. After several rounds of rebellion and the purgation of the king, the old nobles were basically killed. The rest were one of the few princes with new people. The new nobles were castrated by the sudden political reforms that emerged. The civil officials group was also interesting, because the cultural community advocated a hundred schools of thought, and coupled with the confusion caused by the reform of official positions, it made it difficult for them to form cliques and village parties in the court.
After all, they use the unified examination system rather than the state examination system, so the township party basically cut it out with one stroke.
In addition, the assessment system has led to many new young officials infiltrating positions at all levels and the speed of promotion and decentralization is calculated in years. Those old-school officials have been transferred and dispersed before they even formed cliques.
This system may also have problems in the future, but now it can be said that it is both advanced and in line with the national conditions of the Song Dynasty.
But the Liao Kingdom was not good, and Fo Baonu has now seen the horror results brought by the network of relationships.
However, no matter how headaches are, Fo Baonu did not blame Song Beiyun for the problem from beginning to end, because she knew very well that what Song Beiyun did was his duty.
Public is public, private is private, and public cannot be abolished because of private, otherwise it will violate the rules of the game. No matter how many words she complains in private, as long as she wears a dragon robe, she must deal with Song Beiyun about this matter.
"What do you think should I do?"
"What?" Miaoyan laughed: "Are you going to start fighting wits and courage with your dog man?"
Fo Baonu rolled his eyes: "How can the matter in the court be calculated like this? It's not the battle between me and my dog man, but the battle between the pitiful emperor of Liao and the domineering but extraordinary genius jester of Song."
Miaoyan pursed her lips: "Actually, I should avoid it, right?"
"No! You have to give me some advice, you are taking the imperial concubine's allowance."
Miaoyan shrugged: "That's right, you may not be able to withstand it alone."
"that is……"
They were all people who came out of bed, so Fo Baonu naturally understood Song Beiyun. That person was extraordinary and domineering, so he would not become timid because of his loud noises. The first thing he did after he came was to sue the emperor in the current dynasty.
Let him deal with it? If it doesn't work, what's the face of the Liao Kingdom? If those ministers deal with it, it's good that the internal conflicts of the Liao Kingdom were completely ignited. It would be strange if those people didn't take this opportunity to make trouble for the nobles.
"It's very simple." Miaoyan held his chin with one hand: "You don't want those civil officials to mess with you, nor do you want Song officials to handle your Liao Kingdom affairs, nor do you want anyone to take advantage of the problem. Right?"
"Um."
"You can find a fool to do this."
"Stupid?" Fo Baonu asked curiously: "What's the solution?"
Miaoyan reached out and pointed on her nose: "Think about it carefully, aren't you a little clever guy?"
Fo Baonu frowned and thought: "Yes! Drag!"
"Drag? If you dare to use a drag in front of your dog man, he will dare to make a fuss in your Golden Palace every day."
"What should be?"
"The candids are of course useful for being candids." Miaoyan laughed: "Do you know that evil people have their own ways of being beaten by evil people? He is good at dealing with smart people. The smarter he is, the easier it is to get into his evil spirit. But have you ever thought about letting him deal with a fool?"
"This...will he be angry?"
