The magnificent glazed tiles and various exquisite patterns carved on the green eaves. The tall and majestic Daqing Hall shows the momentum and majesty of the Central Plains dynasty. Yelu Zongzheng and Yelu Chage walked side by side. At this time, they were in front of the Daqing Hall, as if they were tiny ants.

This is not the first time Yelu Zongzheng has come to the square in front of Daqing Hall, but this time it is different from the past. In the past few times, he always comes with the lofty posture of a winner, but this time he appears as a loser. Even if he rebukes the letter of the country with sharp words in his arms, he cannot hide the powerlessness in his heart.

When he arrived at the hall gate, Yelu Chage looked at the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty standing in the hall and whispered to Yelu Zongzheng: "Brother, the Song people in front of him are very arrogant. I am afraid that all the officials in the capital have come..."

Yelu Zongzheng said, "What's the matter? If you are worried, you will be behind me, I don't believe they can eat it, can I wait?"

When they walked into the hall, the two clearly felt that the Song Dynasty ministers had bad eyes and their arrogant attitude was like the Liao Dynasty's own court officials facing the Song envoy.

The two of them stepped forward and bowed to Zhao Xu who was sitting on the imperial throne and said, "Foreign minister Yelu Zongzheng, Yelu Chage meets His Highness the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty!"

This was the first time Zhao Xu saw an envoy from the Liao Dynasty. He looked curiously and said, "Your clothes and etiquette are no different from those of our Song Dynasty. I wonder if this is the case in the Liao Dynasty?"

Pang Ji was shocked, why did the prince’s first sentence today differ from yesterday?

"Your Highness, in addition to wearing clothes, our Great Liao Dynasty is the same as the etiquette of the monarch and ministers in the court, and the etiquette of the monarch and ministers. It's just that our Great Liao Dynasty respects Confucius and Mencius's ways more, and follows the etiquette of the Chinese Han Dynasty. It is a loyal country..."

Before Yelu Zongzheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Xu: "My Song Dynasty is a Han Dynasty, and it will not be worse than your Liao Dynasty. Why should foreign envoys say such strange words?"

Yelu Chage was angry and stepped forward and said, "Why did the Song Dynasty take advantage of the danger? While our emperor was personally storming the Western Xia, he sent troops to the north to attack, Yue Huanshui, and conquered Feihu City, and then went north to Yanyun?"

Following his words, the civil and military officials in the court raised their hearts. Unexpectedly, before the letter of nationality was published, the envoy of the Liao Dynasty brought the topic to the matter of the official army and led the young prince to the army.

Zhao Xu sat on the imperial seat and twisted uncomfortablely. The slight sound of the bead curtain behind him made him feel at ease. He coughed lightly and said, "I wonder if your Liao Dynasty's laws are sound?"

When Yelu Chage saw Zhao Xu change the subject, he thought that the young prince was timid and did not dare to face his questioning. Without thinking, he said proudly: "That's natural! In order to adapt to the co-governance of the Khitans and the Han people, our Daliao specially formulated two laws to suit the Khitans and the Han people."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "If someone steals other people's property and gives it to the master's house, and the master's house does not return it and takes it for himself, should he be punished?"

"Of course, the crime must be punished. Those who steal property are treated as stealing. The master's family cannot conceal the crime and the crime is extremely evil. Return the property and compensate..." Yelu Chage said a few words and found that it was inappropriate. The child on the imperial throne was looking at him with a smile, while the officials of the Song Dynasty were holding their smiles.

Yelu Chage stopped talking at once. Unexpectedly, he was fooled by a small child. He argued with a flushed face: "How is the weight of Yanyun's land comparable to wealth?"

"Enough!" Yelu Zongzheng whispered and stepped forward and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince forgives your crime, Yelu Chage is arrogant in front of the imperial court..."

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Don't be presumptuous, he said it very well! Gu Yuan thought that the Liao Dynasty did not have a complete legal system, but now it seems that it is not the case! But even if the Liao Dynasty has this legal system, why did he occupy the land of Yanyun?"

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he said to himself: "But it's okay. My father said he would just take his own things, so why bother others..."

The court officials in the hall were almost laughing, and they all laughed and didn't dare to speak, and their bodies trembled as if they were dancing.

Yelu Zongzheng and Yelu Chage were both angry and shocked. What was angry was that the prince of the Song Dynasty said this meant that this was the tough attitude of the Song Dynasty. It didn’t matter whether it was submitted to the letter of the country like this. But what was surprised was that the young prince could actually say such words, if he grew up, he would be a wise monarch of the Song Dynasty!

Zhao Xu waved to Sancai on the side and said, "The Liao envoy will present the letter of the country."

Yelu Zongzheng took out the letter of nationality from his arms and handed it to Sancai: "Report to the Crown Prince, our Great Liao and the Great Song Dynasty are brotherly countries. Since the Battle of Tanyuan, the two countries have been neighbors with each other and have never set up wars. Now, Li Yuanhao, the Great Liao Dynasty, is the Western Expedition of Li Yuanhao, why did the Song Dynasty attack our Great Liao three times?"

Zhao Xu looked at Yelu Zongzheng with a strange expression and said, "The battle between Tanyuan was also the one that you and the Liao Dynasty fought undeclaredly. Now, our Song Dynasty used a manifesto to inform Yanyun of the land and tell him that it was powerful. What's wrong? This is the case with a great power. How can you and the Liao Dynasty do it but I and the Song Dynasty do it?!"

The civil and military officials in the hall spoke together: "What's the reason?"

In the past, the envoys of the Liao Dynasty were arrogant. When they went to the palace, they either asked for the annual tribute or criticized the Song Dynasty. Now that they have this opportunity, they must give up a good vent.

I don’t know whether it was because of Zhao Xu’s words or the shocked by the shouts from the ministers, Yelu Zongzheng was silent for a moment, and Yelu Chage, who was beside him, looked anxiously at his brother. Since the Song people were tough, their attitude could not be weak!

At this time, he could only hear the heavy breathing of Yelu Zongzheng, and finally looked up suddenly and said, "The foreign ministers already know the meaning of the Song Dynasty and will report to our emperor. Since the Song Dynasty is good at starting a war, then I, Daliao, will no longer be polite, and I will see the difference on the battlefield!"

"Well said!" A clear female voice sounded in the Daqing Hall. Everyone looked at it according to the sound and saw the queen in gorgeous clothes standing up from behind the pearl curtain.

"My Song Dynasty officials worked hard to govern, and the military and civilians prepared their troops to take back the old land of Yanyun and to complete the Jinbao of the Song Dynasty. Now that we are in the northern expedition, the whole country will be able to carry the tripod! Although I am the queen, I am the same as the women of ordinary people. My husband went out to fight with triumphant songs, and when he returned to the court, he welcomed him with a toast! You can also see that now, my Song Dynasty imperial guards are like tigers, and they have broken through several states of Yanyun, so as to avoid the devastation of your life. The Liao Dynasty should withdraw as soon as possible!"

Faced with Wang Yuyan's strength, Yelu Zongzheng frowned and said, "You are a vain country of the Song Dynasty, but now you are conquering your brothers' country. Where is the etiquette and music? Where is the morality, benevolence and righteousness!"

Wang Yuyan chuckled and said, "Brother's Country? I have never seen any family that occupy the land of brothers but refuses to return it. Even if it is brother's wealth, we should clearly tell the land, let alone between the two countries? Yanyun's land belongs to my China, so it would be fine if you Khitans take it, but what's wrong with my Song taking it for yourself now?! This is in line with Confucian etiquette! Your Majesty once left an oral order. If you don't take the land of Yanyun, the Song Dynasty will never be peaceful!"

"Since so much is useless to say, the foreign minister will sue him!"

Yelu Zongzheng bowed a little and retreated. At this time, he was shocked. The Emperor of Song Dynasty said very clearly that he had to take down the Sixteen State of Yanyun in any case, so that he could avoid border troubles from then on.

Those with a little talent in the Liao Dynasty knew the importance of Yanyun to the Song Dynasty, and also knew its importance to the Liao Dynasty. Once the ownership changed, the Song Dynasty would face the iron walls of the Liao Dynasty. If they wanted to go south, they would have to pay a huge price, and they would not be as easy as the Battle of Tanyuan.
