Chapter 1074 Helping the Liao Kingdom (Additional update for Mr. E, leader of the Silver League)

Regarding the incident of Empress Xiao, the Song people were even more excited than the Liao people, so much so that bored literati wrote a drama in the hope that it would be introduced to the Liao Kingdom to impress the king.

I won’t say what the effect will be, but after all, as a brotherly country, we are concerned about the abnormal political situation of the Liao Kingdom.

The past has passed, but I heard that the prince still has the blood of an imperial grandson. I wonder if I can invite him to meet him?

Yelu Hongji seemed to understand somewhat. Although he didn't say anything, the emperor's grandson was soon brought to Yelu Hongji's side, and the political situation of Daliao began to change quietly.

This move gave Su Zhe a high reputation among the scholar-bureaucrats of the Liao Dynasty. The scholar-bureaucrats no longer called Su Zhe by his official title, but instead called him Mr.

Yelu Hongji's attitude towards Su Che and Chao Buzhi also began to change.

At Xiao Xi's banquet, Xiao Xi raised the issue of the Song-Liao boundary to Su Che and Chao Buzhi.

Chao Buzhi stood up to answer, quoting the archives of the Song and Liao countries on the border issue over the years, and made Xiao Xi speechless.

Xiao Xi became angry and said that if the content I found was different from what Sanyuan said, don't blame me for being rude.

Chao Buzhi smiled faintly, and if there was any difference in one word, then please behead Chao Buzhi outside the tent, as an apology for offending the great king Huwei.

By the way, I heard that the Liao Kingdom's management of documents and archives is a bit confusing? If you can't find it, I can provide clues.

Xiao Xi called the officials from Guoshicheng. The officials said that our archives in the Liao Kingdom were simple and were kept according to the year, month and day when the archives were signed.

Chao Buzhi said that it would be easy to handle, and then copied down the dates of signing of all the quoted boundary documents, as well as the names of the envoys of the Song and Liao countries who signed them.

Taking the list given by Chao Buzhi, the official of Guo Shichen quickly found all the files, opened them and read them, every word was correct!

The level of the Song Dynasty and the Three Yuan Dynasties completely shocked all the Liao people. In addition, Chao Buzhi was young, handsome and personable. For a time, whenever the Song envoys traveled, countless people would come to watch on the street after hearing the news.

The atmosphere of the Liao people was more open than that of the Song Dynasty. Young women were especially crazy about Chao Buzhi. Every time they went out on the street, they could hear girls shouting: Mr. Wujiu! Chao Sanyuan! I want to give you a child!

At the ceremony to celebrate the grandson of the Liao Kingdom being crowned King of Liang, Yelu Hongji wrote a poem and ordered his ministers and envoys to accompany him. Naturally, Su Che and Chao Buzhi won the first prize.

Yelu Hongji was overjoyed, and Chao Buzhi took the opportunity to tell Yelu Hongji that the Liao Kingdom's archives management method was too backward, which led to a lot of time spent in negotiations between Song and Liao.

As far as I know, during the previous negotiations between the two countries, many of the Liao Kingdom's files... were missing?

For a country, this is equivalent to losing a period of history. It is a pity when future generations want to recall the great achievements of the previous generations.

Yelu Hongji asked what to do?

Chao Buzhi said that it was easy to handle, and he just needed to establish the system. He divided the National History Museum into six rooms for officials, rituals, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and the files were divided into cabinets according to the files in each room. For example, the official room could be divided into official, current, political, and local areas.

For each cabinet, a file directory tree is created in this way, and then sorted by year and month, then the catalog can be summarized.

He couldn't say what the Song Dynasty court did without the permission of the court, but the Ke Zhengtang of the Su family in Bianjing used this method. No less than a thousand scholars borrowed books every month, and there was never a situation where the materials could not be found.

Xiao Linyuan, the magistrate of the Liao Kingdom, was overjoyed and asked Yelu Hongji to allow Chao Buzhi to join the history museum and establish an archives management system for the Liao Kingdom.

In this regard, the Liao State has been bullied by the Song State for a long time. The Song State has well preserved some historical information about the ownership of some places, and they can get it with their toes. They will definitely not bring out any information that is detrimental to the Song State.

Every time it was those who were unfavorable to the Liao Kingdom who came out to slap them in the face.

So Yelu Hongji waved his hand and said, "I will trouble Song Guo Sanyuan. I will write to your Majesty to keep you for a few more months."

Three months later, the Liao History Museum took on a new look. All kinds of account files were clearly classified. It was convenient and fast for courtiers to check the data. There were rules for the entry and exit of data. Everyone praised it unanimously.

Yelu Hongji was overjoyed, but it was a pity that he was a foreign minister and it was useless to give him many rewards. Seeing that Su Zhe was not interested in anything and only admired a kind of pack horse from the north, he simply chose fifty horses as his

The national gift was given to Zhao Xu and asked to be taken back by Su Che.

When Chao Buzhi entered the Liao History Museum, Xiao Linyuan kept a close eye on him and did not let Chao Buzhi take any piece of paper out of the museum.

Of course Chao Buzhi would not do such a mean thing. In addition to guiding work every day, he would read books. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would ask Xiao Linyuan for advice, especially about the different customs, etiquette, etc. of the Liao and Song Dynasties.

.

For example, the Liao Dynasty's spring ritual "Nabo" contained many things, and Chao Buzhi also gave it a very high evaluation, saying that although it was different from the Central Plains regulations, it still had a long history. This kind of thing is called the accumulation of civilization.

Xiao Linyuan's respect for Liao culture and his eagerness to learn and ask questions made Xiao Linyuan feel proud and at the same time couldn't help but praise him.

How about people becoming the Great Sanyuan? Let’s see what it means to be a gentleman, what it means to be courteous and polite, and what it means to be eclectic!

In the Liao Kingdom, where academic scumbags are everywhere, no one believes that there is anyone in this world who has a true photographic memory.

Even if there were, it would be impossible to memorize an entire history museum’s information in three months! Absolutely impossible!

Another team of envoys came and went. They were envoys sent by the Liao Kingdom to thank the Song Dynasty.

Xiao Xi handed over to Su Che and said, "Xiao Xi is very happy to have my husband accompany me on this trip."

Su Che also handed over his hand: "Ambassador Xiao is so polite. This time Wu Jiu helped your country reorganize its history museum. There are many lawsuits to be fought, right?"

Xiao Xi chuckled and said: "Where is it? Chen Shenzheng reported to my emperor that Daliao suffered a big loss regarding the annual coins. This time I came to Beijing to argue with your country."

Su Zhe was shocked: "Then can I predict the details?"

Xiao Xi said: "Let's talk as we walk, but we have agreed in advance that although Xiao Xi admires Mr. Xi, it is a matter of state, and it is unlikely that Daliao will make concessions to me."

…

Xixia, the plain to the west of Xingqing Prefecture, is densely covered with large tents.

The vassals went on pilgrimage and sacrificed prisoners in great victories. The Liang family's prestige reached its peak this year.

The sun rises, horns sound one after another, and the city gate of Xingqing Mansion slowly opens.

The Empress Dowager Luan Yi and the Emperor's guard of honor, followed by Prime Minister Liang Yimi's chariot, came out one by one.

All the tribes knelt on both sides of the passage to welcome the procession of dancing flags, brilliant armor and soldiers, and brocade robes and satin.

Empress Dowager Liang's ceremonial guard was in the lead, her face full of excitement, and Bing Chang's ceremonial guard was behind, riding on the horse with an expressionless face.

After Bingchang drove away, Li Qing reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the general manager of the royal tent, and the deputy privy envoy have greatly enhanced the country's prestige. This is a happy event. Please make good use of your words soon, and don't be rude."

Bingchang twisted a bit and managed a smile, but his voice was full of bitterness: "I know."

The guard of honor stopped and faced the west, with its back to the rising sun.

A Tibetan man who was lying prone on the ground suddenly found that the small puddle in front of him had invisible ripples.

Gradually, some bright spots appeared on the horizon, and then turned into a white line, which was the sunlight reflected from the distance.

The rumble of hoofbeats became louder and louder, and a grand cavalry with horses wrapped in black leather armor and knights covered in bright steel armor suddenly appeared in the distance.

The armor shines brightly on the sun, and the morale is like a dragon!

Although Empress Dowager Liang is already middle-aged, she has dressed up specially today and her face is still beautiful.

He saw her raising her hands: "Bang the drum, and my army will be even more powerful!"

The rumbling drums sounded, and the silver-armored warrior on the opposite side nodded to the other warrior beside him. The two leveled their upright lances, and then, the five thousand armored warriors behind them began to change formations and accelerate.

Spears were lining the forest, horse hooves were flying, and screams and screams could be heard among the fallen crops.

The drum beat became more intense, and when the heavy cavalry formation was still within a stone's throw of the camp, Empress Dowager Liang suddenly waved her hand again.

The drumming stopped suddenly, and the two warriors in front suddenly raised their spears.

As if using their arms, the lances of all the heavy cavalry also stood up, and then in a very short time, they transformed from a horizontal formation into a column, as nimble as two swimming fish, nimbly passing by both sides of the camp.
