Zheng Lang said calmly: "Have you ever thought that Yuan Hao is so cruel, but when His Majesty's 200,000 lions marched west, Yuan Hao could gather all the heroes of each tribe to fight to the death with His Majesty. However, Your Majesty is kind, but is the straight woman who is honest to His Majesty?"

The only thing Khitan can really control is the mature Jurchens.

For the Khitan, national strength can only extend to the five countries at the junction of Heilongjiang and Songhua River. There are also five countries to the east, there are Wanshu tribes in the north of the Yangtze River, and there are Aju tribes in the north of the Yangtze River, there are Limei tribes in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are Jurchen tribes in the East China Sea, and there are Jurchen tribes in the south of Vladivostok to Goryeo (not next to He character, but next to Sandians). The first is far away, and the second is the population is sparse, and the Khitans are beyond the reach. In addition, there are Shiwei tribes in the north and south of the Xing'an Mountains, which cannot be controlled by the Khitans. In fact, in addition to these distant and thin areas, including the Five Kingdoms tribes in the area of ​​Changbai Mountain, the Khitans also had weak control, and they rebelled and revived.

For the Khitans, they treated the Jurchens just like the Song Dynasty who looked at those savages. They looked down on them and thought that their tribe members were rude, barbaric, ignorant, backward and poor, and were almost spokespersons for all bad terms. But on the other hand, because of their barbarity, even the Khitans felt a little afraid.

Liao Xingzong shook his head and said, "No."

“Why?”

Liao Xingzong asked back: "Why?"

"In the past, Songtsen Gampo promoted the great power of Tubo, and made all tribes convinced him, and built the huge Potala Palace."

"Shut, Zheng Qing, I have also heard of the Potala Palace. It seems that Songtsen Gampo built it when he married the princess of the Tang Dynasty."

Zheng Lang smiled bitterly. This misunderstanding was so big that it was a gift on the face of the Han people. In fact, this gift was a manifestation of lack of confidence. How could a nation that dared not face its past have confidence? He said: "No, the time is wrong. Long before Songtsen Gampo was preparing to marry Princess Tang and Princess of Nepal, Tubo was building this palace, and the two countries married princesses. He brought a large amount of dowry, especially in the Tang Dynasty, which brought tens of thousands of craftsmen to the civilized era. As a result, it grew stronger, Songtsen Gampo had no way to express it. He lied that this palace was built to marry Princess Tang, and he also said this to the Nepalese people. This caused historical misinformation."

"So that's it..." Liao Xingzong thought deeply.

"Your Majesty, don't think too much. Our dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty. The royal family of the Tang Dynasty has the blood of Hu Han. The Hu people are family members to them, and Han people are also family members to them. It is not ashamed to marry a daughter. Our dynasty is completely different in nature. If you marry a daughter, you will be ashamed of it. Even if you have a dowry, it will not be very rich." Zheng Lang said worriedly.

This emperor was obsessed with Zhao Niannu, as if this little guy grew older and would be a little troublesome.

"You talk about the Potala Palace."

"I have finished speaking. After this palace was built, tens of thousands of tribes on the Tubo Plateau came to the court. Therefore, united and united. Your Majesty, let me tell you the story of the Han Dynasty. When the Han Dynasty was first built, many of the heroes were low-born, some of them were fellow villagers of Emperor Gaozu of Han. They grew up together since childhood and did not know etiquette, so they turned the court into a vegetable market. I had to invite the great scholar Sun Tong to come to formulate the court ceremony, so the upper and lower levels were in order. Emperor Gaozu of Han sighed. Now I know the joy of the emperor."

When Emperor Xingzong of Liao heard this, he couldn't help but yearn for it. No matter how he evaluated Liu Bang, it was really not easy. A small official actually unified the world. How many people did it do the famous Han Dynasty? Then he said, "Our dynasty is also polite."

Zheng Lang looked around and was hilarious.

Liao Xingzong's young man's face became ashamed and said, "This is the legal system of ancestors."

"Your Majesty, do you also know the legal system of ancestors? I think I don't know."

“Why?”

Zheng Lang's intention was not this. He mainly wanted to gain time. He could not make Liao Xingzong suspicious. He had to achieve his goal and became a lobbyist. He felt very distressed. Empress Dowager Xiao was not enough, and this little emperor had to make trouble again. He was not enough to play with the fish, and another black water came. Otherwise, why would he be troubled?

There are smart people in the Khitan, but in terms of understanding the history of the Han people, I am afraid that no one or Zheng Lang would have to listen to Zheng Lang's tricks. Zheng Lang said slowly: "Your Majesty, the original meaning of the Khitans is to prevent the Khitans from forgetting their roots. Forgetting their ancestors is to seize the world from horses, and it is difficult to start a business."

Not only Liao Xingzong, but also the ministers at the edge nodded, which was too reasonable. But Zheng Lang turned around and said, "Why is it just a tent, it is difficult to start a business, so that the king should be simple, save money, and let the people rest, and the people live and work in peace, so that the country can be prosperous. However, Your Majesty, mobilizes troops to come to Yuerlu and go to Hei Shuilu. Is it filial piety or a joke?"

"It is to fulfill filial piety."

"I think it is unfilial. The famous emperor and wise men of the Holy Sect are far away from our dynasty. However, Your Majesty, regardless of the hardships of soldiers, the snow and ice and snow all the way, the difficult roads of the mountains, the hardships of cars and horses, and the cost of spending, went to Hei Shui in less than ten days. If you want to see the tomb of the late emperor, you can use Hei Shui as the location of Xia Nabo. At that time, the snow melted, the roads were easy to walk, and the soldiers were not hurt, the carriages and horses were not used, and money, and the food and grass were not wasted. However, in this move of Your Majesty, the spring Nabo traverses the east and west, where is Xia Nabo? Do you abide by the laws of the ancestors, or do you want to have fun?"

After he was suddenly cultivated by Liao Xingzong, he almost didn't know the east, west, south and north. He stood up and bowed his hands solemnly, "Zheng Qing has good words."

Guo Kui stood in the last seat, first stunned, then dumbfounded, and then wanted to make a thumbs up, it was too high, even taller than Kunlun Mountain.

Zheng Lang said again: "Your Majesty, can you give me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone? Let me go out for a while, draw a few drawings and present them to Your Majesty."

"allow."

The guard brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Zheng Lang walked to his tent, drew a few sketches of the palace, returned to the big tent, handed the sketch to Liao Xingzong, and said, "This is the palace pattern drawn by me. There are many woods here and there are many stones on the mountain. Only some craftsmen and iron nails are needed, and the construction cost is not high. Build this palace by the lake, to clarify etiquette and rank nobleness, in order of etiquette, one point of etiquette, the king's transformation is clear, and the Jurchens are back."

This is a sketch drawn by Zheng Lang with reference to some palace styles in the past and later generations. It is simple, grand and clear. If it is really built, it will not cost much money. After looking at the noisy scenes around, he said, "If you want to become a king, you can never do this again."

Emperor Xingzong of Liao handed these sketches to the ministers.

After watching below, some buzzing comments came out, but they did not think that Zheng Lang was malicious, because although the palace was grand, the simple style was not expensive. For the Khitan, it was not difficult to build such a palace. If he had evil intentions, the palace would inevitably be extravagant. Is it right to do this?

Zheng Lang also said: "Nabo is to follow the laws of ancestors, not forget the roots, and to pay homage to the palace, which is to make the unity of etiquette and etiquette. Your Majesty. Think twice."

I won't say anything after I finish speaking.

Liao Xingzong discussed with the ministers for most of the day, and finally put on a sentence: "If you don't practice, you will stop, and you will be able to practice it."

"..." Zheng Lang was stunned for a long time and said: "Its function is to be a status, not a magnificent and spectacular. Then it is possible that Your Majesty will embark on another path of chaos, and eventually waste the national finances and the people will suffer. The country is in danger. Therefore, it cannot be extravagant and gorgeous."

How well said.

It is really not extravagant. The palace is divided into four parts, the front and back halls, and the front hall allows Liao Xingzong to meet the chiefs of each tribe. The back hall invites the chiefs of each tribe to visit. The two buildings are similar to the reduced version of the Temple of Heaven, one on the left and one on the right. The Wenzhi Hall on the left and the Wugong Hall on the right. There is no other. The stories of the civil and military achievements of the Khitan emperors of all dynasties are painted on the surrounding walls. The chiefs of each tribe can observe. This is exactly the hearts of the Khitan kings and ministers.

As for where to sleep? Or go back to the tent obediently and take into account the tradition of living in Nabo in all seasons, but this is the best.

Therefore, the cost is not very high, and even the assets of Zheng Lang's family can be easily made. So the ministers discussed for a while and then thought about the wonderful things. Especially the two civil and military temples, which made all the ministers itchy and agreed.

The next day, Liao Xingzong ordered the construction to begin.

Guo Kui watched the soldiers cutting down trees. He calmed down and said, "Grandpa Zheng, this time the Khitan Emperor may not go to Heishuilu."

Zheng Lang smiled and said, "It's all like this, how could Liao Xingzong go to Heishuilu?"

"Mr. Zheng, stop it in time. Otherwise, in a few days, the Khitans will be ready. Even if they advise again, they will not be able to stop Ruhei Shui Luo and his party."

Zheng Lang breathed a little relieved, then stared at Dongfang and said, "Zhongtong, you secretly instructed the soldiers to have several small conflicts with the Jurchens occasionally."

“This is a good idea.”

"But you can't do it too obvious, just be moderate."

"Here."

"If I leave, the safety of these soldiers will be left to you. You can't act loyally."

"Don't worry, I know the importance of it," Guo Kui said. But his eyes shone. Zheng Lang chose himself in this line, which was far from protecting himself, but let himself see the various situations of the Khitan, which is for the future...

It is hard to say, but when Zheng Langnian was getting stronger, he could rule at least 30 years ago. How could he not understand? After walking a few steps, he said, "Mr. Zheng, will these palaces be well prepared, help the Khitans?"

"It's hard. The Jurchens would not be convinced by the Khitan just because of a few palaces, but they cater to the Khitan's arrogant and arrogant mentality."

Guo Kui snickered.

"Zheng Gong," Yelu Hongji turned around and ran over.

"Meet King Liang."

"Mr. Zheng, don't be too polite, I'm the one who wants to tribute." Then he looked at the busy craftsman and asked, "Mr. Zheng, when will this palace be repaired?"

"Your Highness, although you mainly focus on simplicity, you must cultivate momentum and painting. You cannot repair it in a short time, but you will be able to see it next year."

"Will Mr. Zheng come next year?"

"I don't know, it's better not to come."

Yelu Hongji smiled and said, "I still hope Mr. Zheng can come."

"Your Highness, you're very fast. This year is much better than last year."

"I also want to thank Mr. Zheng for his advice. If Mr. Zheng hadn't taught me so many principles of being a human being, how could I understand these."

"Oh, I have already made a mistake. Although the two countries are friendly countries and brotherly countries, I have done many things that have lost the ministers of the Song Dynasty..."

Yelu Hongji was very happy.

Guo Kui was also happy in his heart. Liao Xingzong was not very relieved about Zheng Lang's education of his son. Whenever he asked, today's conversation would inevitably lead to the ears of the Emperor of Liao, and his vigilance would decline. Listening to Zheng Lang and Yelu Hongji's chatter, Guo Kui looked at the east. The snow in the east was vast, but it seemed that he could smell the breath of spring in the clear air. Maybe the peach blossoms in the capital would bloom soon. After leaving home for so long, Guo Kui was a little homesick.

...

The ground is warm every day.

The Khitan camp has retreated from Yuerlu to Changchunzhou, and started hunting without hooking fish. Even if you don’t hunt, you won’t dare to stay on the fish anymore. The ice layer is getting thinner, and something will happen if you stay on.

Several palaces began to lay the foundations.

Zheng Lang had a bad idea to escape, but the Khitans were very serious.

Of course, Liao Xingzong did not miss this opportunity and sent people to the border to threaten, saying that Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao had ideas for Yuan Hao, establish orthodox and establish status. Zheng Lang also did similar things in the Khitan, and made great contributions to the Khitan. He used the mouths of merchants to promote it.

Since the spring, the two countries have fought a secret war on the border.

The Song Dynasty arranged some small spies on the Khitan side, and the Khitan also sent some spies on the Song Dynasty, but they were not very effective, and the two countries did not do well. The Song Dynasty was not as good as the Khitan. The best one was Yuan Hao, but Yuan Hao was optimistic about Zheng Lang's affairs. Zheng Lang helped the Khitan more harm than helped the Song Dynasty, but in that case, the two countries would inevitably get into evil, which was also beneficial to the Western Xia. Zheng Lang could escape and hate the Khitan, and because of Zheng Lang's influence on the Song Dynasty emperor, he would get into evil.

However, he was wrong and far underestimated the wisdom of Zhao Zhen and Zheng Lang.

In short, he definitely did not intend to participate in this matter, but watched the tiger fight.

Then a series of actions between the two countries made him laugh. First, the Khitan swept the spies of the Song Dynasty, first, the Song Dynasty swept the spies of the Khitan. Some of them were just smuggling merchants, and they were also arrested as spies. The Khitan did not make any noise, and the people of the Song Dynasty were in a turbulent manner and unanimously demanded that the Song Dynasty emperor be tough.

This is the best news for him. Only when two tigers fight, this tiger can he breathe and have a chance.

The rumors spread by the Khitan have had some influence to a greater or lesser extent, including the Khitan people, who all believe that Zheng Lang’s attitude is very ambiguous. First, it is ambiguous, then it can change, and he can become the real minister of the Khitan. Lian Xiao Xiao

When my friend heard this, he was quite happy in Zhongjing. Whether it was money or not was not important, Guan Jian Yuanhao was defeated several times by his son. In the Battle of Hequ, Xiao Xiaoyou was ashamed of his desire to take revenge, but this son's military talent was quite useful. Thinking of this, he sent someone to call Wang Sixing, who was also placed in Zhongjing, and Yang Xi called him. He gave the two people a military position as a young general, which was considered to be promoted and wealth. In addition to them, the Khitan seduced six or seven subordinates of Zheng Lang.

But these six or seven soldiers were not exposed, but Yang and Wang could not let Zheng Lang see him, which would make Zheng Lang disgusted with the Khitan, so he put it in Zhongjing and handed it over to Xiao Xiaoyou.

The two came in to meet, Xiao Xiaoyou asked them to sit down and asked, "Yang Xi, Wang Sixing, I ask you, can you be in the army after several battles in the northwest?"

"At that, we were all Dajingyuan Road at that time."

"I heard from Zheng Lang that the reason for the victory several times was because of the generals' planning. Zheng Lang's contribution was not great. Is it true?"

Wang Sixing thought for a while and said, "King Yan, this is the humble words of Mr. Zheng. Although those generals are brave, they would not have been able to achieve great victory without Mr. Zheng's command and planning."

Although they were betrayed, because of Zheng Lang's personality, the two dared not disrespect them and continued to call them husband.

"Humility is a virtue. This son is a good minister, and Yu Chun Nabo offers a good idea for my master."

"Good strategies are nothing to him. I'm afraid that the Great Liao Kingdom will not be able to subdue Xianggong Zheng, otherwise the King of Yan will be able to see him in the future to offer many good strategies." Wang Sixing said with a very ashamed face, not that he didn't know the shame.
