After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

"沁园春.雪", a poem that can be regarded as the most magnificent in history, was composed by Han Ming in a magnificent manner in front of the emperor and his ministers of the Liao Dynasty.

With the perfect combination of the Great Wall poetry banquet, the Song-Liao dispute, and the winter snow scene, Han Ming now has the right time, place, and people.

If he still cannot use this poem by the great man to overwhelm the literary circles of Liao and Song, then he can really find a piece of tofu to kill himself, and he can never talk about being the sun of the new era, the five-good youth, or the successor of socialism!

Looking at Mr. Han, who was still gazing at the distant scenery with a bit of melancholy after writing the poem, everyone in the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty delegation swallowed secretly.

"How about I write another one?" Han Ming deliberately tilted his head and grinned to make himself look at ease.

However, these words made the rulers and ministers of the Liao Kingdom feel uneasy. With just one poem, their ancestor was framed on the wall. If there was another one, who knew which sage of the Liao Kingdom would be in trouble again.

Yelu Hongji's expression immediately hardened, and he managed to force a faint smile: "It is our good fortune to be able to witness such an unparalleled poem."

"I declare the winner of the Great Wall Poetry Banquet, a bilateral exchange event, to be Han Ming from the Great Song Dynasty delegation!"

Yelu Hongji had to give such an excuse. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Han Ming's poem was shocking and unparalleled.

If he still holds on and refuses to give in, the entire Liao Dynasty will lose face.

With just one sentence, 'I only know how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle', the future of these Khitan people was nailed into the long river of history by Han Ming's poem.

When people read this poem in the future, they will know that the Liao people were a group of people who relied only on military prowess and had no knowledge of civil governance.

This was a big blow to Yelu Hongji. When he looked at Han Ming, there was helplessness and undisguised admiration in his eyes.

He now likes Han Ming very much. He is talented and capable, and is proficient in governing the country, managing finances, marching troops, and writing poetry and songs. Most importantly, he has great ambitions for the world.

Yelu Hongji was almost jealous to the point of going crazy. He didn't understand why such a talented person would be born in a poor and weak country like the Song Dynasty.

Logically speaking, after the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty's Mandate of Heaven was gradually overwhelmed by the Central Plains dynasties. But why was it that the Central Plains could continue to produce various outstanding figures to support the declining Chinese nation?!

Yelu Hongji felt that he had been suffering from headaches since he met Han Ming.

After the winner was announced, everyone at the scene had different expressions. Among them, the ones with the ugliest expressions were people like Xiao Tu Gu Ci who were a bit paranoid about being patriotic.

They were typical extreme nationalists who always believed that no country or nation in the world could surpass the Khitan Liao.

Now, seeing that his own monarch actually praised Han Ming's excellent poems and allowed him to surpass the Liao literary world, he was furious.

As a result, their unwillingness to be ordinary made them look down on King Yelu Hongji even more.

Yelu Chongyuan took in these scenes, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He cursed Yelu Hongji in his heart for being as stupid as a pig, and actually pushed many Khitan nobles to the opposite side.

What Yelu Hongji was more concerned about was that if Han Ming could be kept in the Liao Kingdom, the rise of the Song Dynasty could be effectively curbed.

After two assassination attempts failed, Yelu Hongji decided to change his approach.

Looking at Xiao Guanyin with admiration in her eyes, Yelu Hongji's first thought was: beauty trap!

However, this strategy was certainly not for Xiao Guanyin to do. Yelu Hongji was not in the habit of wearing a hat, and Xiao Guanyin would not be unwilling to do such a thing.

After much deliberation, Yelu Hongji decided to choose a princess from the royal family to seduce Han Ming. As for who it would be, he needed to observe.

. . . . . .

After Yelu Hongji announced the result of the poetry banquet, the tit-for-tat dispute between Song and Liao came to a brief end.

Nabo will follow the patrol rules of previous years and wander between Nanjing Xijin Prefecture and Zhongjing Dading Prefecture.

In this case, Han Ming and other members of the delegation would have to follow the other side and move northward. This situation made Han Ming a little worried.

I was afraid that Yelu Hongji would take advantage of this period of time to do something unexpected.

As expected, Yelu Hongji would drag Han to some inexplicable banquets every now and then in the following period.

There were so many beautiful women among them that Han, who had never experienced such a situation, was dazzled.

No wonder our ancestors wanted to open up the Western Regions. It turns out that the so-called exotic customs are indeed fascinating, and the exotic customs in the north are no less fascinating.

Yelu Hongji breathed a sigh of relief at Han Ming's dazzled eyes, and couldn't help but think: Even heroes are tempted by beautiful women, and even he, Han, is no exception.

At another banquet that lasted most of the day, Han Ming stared at the Khitan woman dancing to the drums and music in the center, with a pretty maid beside him who was ready to refill his wine at any time.

This made Han Ming, a five-good youth of the new era, feel a little dizzy. He couldn't help but secretly curse this kind of feudal landlord-like life, which was really corroding people's souls.

Although he had enjoyed and witnessed this kind of erotic dance in his country, the Central Plains dynasty was still too conservative compared to these Khitans.

Han Ming touched his nose awkwardly. He thought that he hadn’t been made to bleed by those white things!

The other members of the Song Dynasty delegation also made the same move as Han. This was really exciting.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering whether they should buy a few concubines of this type to enjoy after returning home.

After the banquet was over, Han Ming and his friends felt more tired than after a whole day's journey. Some of them even had legs shaking when they walked.

"boom--!"

"These Khitans are a disgrace to morality and civility!"

Peng Yi, who was born as the Minister of Rites, had a sullen face from the beginning to the end of the banquet. As soon as he returned to the tent, he slammed the table in anger.

"Why are you so angry, Brother Peng?"

"These Khitans are inherently barbaric and difficult to assimilate. Some things can't be accomplished simply by a simple Sinicization reform."

He Zhengru saw clearly that these foreign races were barbarians at heart.

"But it's still a good thing for us. As the old saying goes: If the Hu people don't assimilate to the Han culture, they will not become a threat in the end."

"I originally thought that after undergoing a period of sinicization, the Khitans would learn etiquette, be good people, and be well versed in the ways of the Han people."

"Looking back now, it seems like a monkey in human form, just trying to make people laugh."

Du Jiyang's tone sounded even more disdainful. For people like them, the word "etiquette" runs through their entire lives.

Han Ming didn't say anything, but simply leaned on the plush blanket and thought quietly.

"My Lord, what do you think has driven Yelu Hongji crazy lately, causing all this mess?"

Peng Yi still couldn't figure it out and asked with some confusion.

"He's not crazy. He's doing this simply to trap me and make me stay here willingly."

Han Ming picked up the hot tea beside him to cleanse his stomach of all the grease and alcohol.

"Honey trap?!" x3

He Zhengru and the other two's eyes lit up, and they realized what Han Ming meant.

"Well, I guess that's what His Majesty the Emperor is thinking."

Although Han Ming only said it as an estimate, his inner certainty made He Zhengru and the other two nod slightly.

"But we're just getting started. Using a group of dancers to frame this marquis, if Yelu Hongji isn't stupid, he wouldn't do such a thing."

Han Ming no longer had the excited look he had at the banquet. His clear eyes were fixed on the dark ceiling.

"What the Marquis means is..." He Zhengru took the initiative to act as Han Ming's supporting actor.

"There are many outstanding women in his royal family and the queen's family. He must choose a princess for me to highlight his value, right?" Han Ming said with a smirk.

"Hahaha! Lord Marquis, this is a bit malicious!"

He Zhengru had long known that with Han Ming's level of skill, Yelu Hongji's tricks could not be hidden from him.

"It is difficult to refuse such a generous offer. How can I refuse it?"

Han Ming knew from the beginning what the purpose of his mission to Liao was, which was to delay time.

Now Yelu Hongji's attention is completely attracted by himself, and the future direction of the two countries is not decided by the Liao Kingdom alone.

"But we can't be careless. Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women. Besides, I don't even call myself a hero. If I'm not careful, I will really be captured by a Khitan woman. That would be very interesting."

Han Ming made a self-deprecating remark, causing everyone to laugh.

"That might be a happy marriage!"

Several people teased Han Ming, and for a moment, his mind, which had been disturbed by the Liao dancer, returned to calm.

"We still need to discuss the issue of 'annual tribute'. Even though it will be meaningless in a few years, we still need to fight for some benefits now."

"I do not want the new policy reforms that we have been pushing forward with great difficulty to turn the accumulated wealth of the national treasury and the people into indemnity and give it all to the Liao people."

Han Ming changed the subject, and He Zhengru and the other two nodded at the same time.

"Your Majesty's words, I will remember them carefully. I will not let the Liao Kingdom lead me by the nose."

"That's good. Go back and rest first. If there are any problems, please contact me immediately."

Han Ming waved his hand, letting He Zhengru and the other two leave, leaving him alone to stare blankly at the falling snow outside the tent...
