Forty-seven, Yin Jilun
Seeing the queen mother, Yelu couldn't hold it back anymore, he couldn't figure out why the emperor suddenly became so cold and cruel, in his mind, the emperor has always been gentle and kind-hearted, sometimes, a horse is injured, he still feels distressed for a long time, why did he kill so many unarmed people today? And he has been watching coldly from the sidelines, supervising the killing. When did he become so vicious? Moreover, the emperor seemed to be still immersed in the killing just now, although he had extinguished his anger, his spirit was bright, his eyes were shining, and he was telling the queen mother about the scene of the great battle in the sandpile village.
Suddenly, Yelu asked, "What does the Emperor want to rule the world?" ”
Yelu Longxu was talking proudly, when he was suddenly asked this question, he was stunned, stopped talking, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Xiao Sui said: "Of course, the emperor rules the world with benevolence and filial piety, and treats the people of the world with virtue and trust. Why did the Taibao say this? ”
Yelu obliquely said, "May I ask what the emperor is benevolent?" What is filial piety? ”
Yelu Longxu said: "The benevolent are benevolent, the filial is also dear, and the kiss is also kissed." Although I am not sensitive, I still know the way of benevolence and filial piety. ”
Yelu obliquely said: "Since the emperor knows the way of benevolence and filial piety, why doesn't he have a heart of benevolence? ”
Yelu Longxu changed color and said: "Shoutaibao, I have always respected you and regarded you as a brother, why do you look down on me and say that I have no heart of benevolence?" ”
Yelu slanted and said, "Doesn't the emperor remember the corpses all over the ground in the sand pile village? Those are all prisoners of war of the Song army who surrendered, the emperor killed all of them, and the minister's heart was bleeding, not for those prisoners of war, but because of you, the emperor, our benevolent monarch, and the minister did not want to see His Majesty become a tyrant. ”
Yelu Longxu said: "They are the Song people, they are the enemies of the Khitan, so many of our Khitan warriors died in their hands, the generals, and the horses were all wounded by them, I am avenging my Khitan warriors." ”
Yelu said: "The Song people are also people, the emperor's benevolence is spread all over the world, and the people of the world are your people." In the past, the Empress Dowager soldiers surrounded Yijin Pass, and tens of thousands of people in the city were all released, not only protecting the lives of tens of thousands of people, but also reuniting tens of thousands of families. In recent years, the people who came to vote for my Khitan have all come for the benevolence of the Queen Mother, so they serve people with virtue and serve all over the world. ”
Xiao Xuan heard the clue, so he asked Yelu Longxu what he shouldn't have done.
Yelu Longxu's face was full of shame at this time, and he talked about the massacre of prisoners of war.
Xiao Xuan heard this and said angrily: "Does the emperor want to be a martyr?" ”
Yelu Longxu hurriedly said: "Erchen was confused for a while, and was dizzy by those Song people, and just wanted to relieve their anger~~~"
Xiao Xuan shouted: "Don't say it, as the king of a country, you must do things righteously, how can you complain for personal gain and kill innocents indiscriminately?" The two countries are at war, each for its own master, in order to survive, fight each other, death and injury are inevitable, each with its own destiny. But to slaughter innocents is to poison living beings, to be tyrants. ”
Yelu Longxu lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Xiao Sui said: "The emperor kept saying that he wanted to be a Ming monarch, to rule the world with benevolence and filial piety, and to convince people with virtue. But now in order to vent his anger and kill all the prisoners of war, how to convince people with virtue? The ancients had a saying, 'Those who convince others with their strength are not convinced, and they are not supported by their strength; Those who convince people with virtue will be happy and sincere in the center. ’”
Yelu Longxu said, "The son knows that he is wrong. ”
Xiao Sui said: "If you know that you are wrong, you have to correct it, can you care about the words of French?" Change it to expensive. The way of being a man, choose the good to do, and even more so for the king, do not do evil things because of joy and anger. As the saying goes: accumulating good is like gathering a tower, and doing evil is like destroying a temple. Doing evil can be spit out quickly, but accumulating good requires a lot of effort, but the consequences of the two are self-evident. The emperor has figured it out. ”
Yelu Longxu's face was red and white for a while, his face was full of shame, and he said, "Erchen remember the teachings of the Queen Mother. ”
Xiao Sui also said: "I Khitan started from the wilderness, sandwiched between the big countries, survival is difficult, relying on the virtue of the ancestors, according to the Xianbei Mountain to protect themselves, after the generations of martyrs to make great efforts, the road is blue, open up the territory, to the Taizu to have such a country, it is not easy." When Taizu attacked Youzhou and was defeated, he was angry, and he wanted to slaughter Youzhou quickly, but Queen Chunqin stopped it, taking the tree as a metaphor, the tree as the national body, the people as the bark, the bark of the tree, how can the country exist? The people are the foundation of the country, whether it is the Khitans, the Han people, the party members, or the Jurchens, they are all subjects of the Great Khitan, and the emperor should treat them with kindness and kindness. 'The emperor is determined to prosper the Khitan, he must love the people, let the people's hearts be attached, and the people's hearts will be attached, and Zhongxing will not be far away. ”
Yelu Longxu walked up to Xiao Xuan and knelt down, and said: "Erchen has made a mistake, please punish the Queen Mother, from now on, Erchen must do what the Queen Mother said and be a competent emperor." ”
Xiao Sui said: "In this way, I can rest assured, Shou Taibao is loyal and outspoken, a real generation of good ministers, with you by the emperor's side, I don't have to worry about it." ”
Han Derang said: "The second brother has always been such a person, and he is straightforward and fast-talking. ”
Xiao Xuan looked at Yelu and said, "Shou Taibao, is that so?" ”
Yelu slanted away from Xiao Xuan's gaze and said, "The minister heard that Yu Yue robbed the grain and grass of the Song army, but I don't know what happened?" ”
Xiao Sui said: "Yes, I've been there for a long time, and I should come back." ”
Han Derang said, "Do you want to send someone to pick it up?" ”
Xiao Sui said: "Yes, someone should be sent to pick it up, just let Xiao Pai go." ”
Not long after Xiao Pai was escorted, he came back and brought back Xibu Shenwen Yale.
When Yale saw the emperor, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, woe has happened." ”
Everyone was shocked, and Yelu Longxu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Make it clear. ”
Yale said: "Your Majesty, Yu Yue was defeated. ”
Everyone was taken aback, and Xiao Sui hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" How did Yu Yue lose? ”
Yale said: "The day before yesterday, I was ordered to rob the grain and grass of the Song army, and Yu Yue led everyone to rush to Xuhe in Tangzhou day and night, wanting to intercept the grain and grass escorted by Li Jilong here. When we arrived, it was early in the morning, people were hungry, burying pots to make rice, just after eating, Li Jilong came, Yu Yue ordered us to set up a position to rob the grain and grass. Unexpectedly, at this time, a Song army was killed from behind our army, which was unstoppable, and our army was unprepared, and it was suddenly chaotic, and the leather room was killed by the Song army, and Yu Yue was also stabbed in the arm by the Song army, and could not command, and our army was defeated and returned. ”
Xiao Sui was very surprised and said: "Yu Yue is a battle-hardened veteran, why is there a Song army behind him, don't you know?" ”
Yale said: "No, Yu Yue knows about this Song army, and we met this Song army halfway, just a patrol force of hundreds of people. Yu Yue was in a hurry to intercept Li Jilong, not wanting to entangle with this small team, so he ignored him and passed, but he didn't expect them to follow us quietly and catch us off guard. ”
Xiao Sui said: "Why is Yu Yue so careless? ”
Han Derang said: "It's no wonder that Brother Yelu Xiu, usually, the Song army avoided his banner early, who would dare to pick up the tiger's whiskers?" ”
Jerod asked, "Who led the patrol?" ”
Yale said: "It is said to be a man named Yin Jilun. ”
Yelu slanted and said, "Is it a big man with a black face?" ”
Yale said: "Yes, yes, the man was burly, more than nine feet tall, black as the bottom of a pot, with great strength, a carriage, he lifted it gently, he was very good at martial arts, holding a short sword, and stabbed Yu Yue." ”
Jerod slanted and said, "Sure enough, it's him, otherwise others wouldn't have the guts." ”
Xiao Sui said, "Do you know this person? ”
Yelu obliquely said: "I have heard a little, it is said that this person was a gangster when he was a teenager, picking quarrels and provoking trouble every day, in order to harm the village, and he is good at drinking, if he has no money, he will take credit, if he does not take credit, he will rob, and if he can't rob, he will be beaten, and everyone who harms him hates him, and his family also resents him." However, he has strength, good martial arts, and is favored by the county order, and if there is any difficult errand in the county, let him do it. Although this person is a bastard, he still treats others righteously, and many people follow him. Once, the county sent him a group of workers to the capital to build a palace, and on the way, he let everyone go. After the government investigated it, he hid in the mountains and became a robber. Once, the catcher surrounded him, and he killed more than a dozen people, and the rest did not dare to come closer, watching him calmly leave. I don't know how I joined the army later. ”
Xiao Xuan said indignantly: "A robber defeated the Khitan Dayue, wouldn't it make people laugh? ”
Yelu obliquely said: "The Queen Mother must not underestimate these people, these people are more bloody than others, they are not afraid of death, and they all have unique skills, relying on their martial arts, Longtan Tiger's Den dare to break in." Therefore, it is not surprising that Yu Yue was attacked. ”
Xiao Sui said: "What Qing said is that in the future, we should pay attention to this person and tell the people in the army that we must not be careless when we meet this person." ”
Yin Jilun was drinking Zhao Guangyi's celebration wine at this time.
On this day, Zhao Guangyi was very happy, he personally walked to Yin Jilun with a wine jug, stroked Yin Jilun's shoulder and said: "Today, I am very happy, because my Great Song Dynasty has a hero, this hero avenged a great revenge for me, he stabbed the Khitan greater than Yue, and drove away the vicious person who scared my Great Song baby and didn't dare to cry, I want to pour wine for you." ”
After that, Zhao Guangyi poured a cup for Yin Jilun, and Yin Jilun drank it all.
Zhao Guangyi poured another cup for Yin Jilun, and continued: "I fought the Khitan twice, both of them were defeated, and the soldiers were lost, all because of this Yelu Huge, the previous battle of the Gaoliang River, lost tens of thousands of my soldiers, and even I was seriously injured, and almost fell into the hands of Yelu Huge, which is a great shame and will never be forgotten for life." always thought of revenge, but the Northern Expedition again, also folded back, the three-way army was all frustrated, and my beloved minister Yang Jiye also sacrificed his life for the country, which is regrettable and hateful. Today, Yin Jilun avenged me, which is really happy. Yin Aiqing, you have to get drunk today. ”
Yin Jilun drank it all again.
Zhao Guangyi poured him full again, patted Yin Jilun on the shoulder and said, "Yin Aiqing, don't just care about drinking, tell everyone how you stabbed Brother Yelu Xiu?" ”
Although Yin Jilun bravely won the three armies, his kung fu was not good, and it was the first time in front of the emperor, he became more and more timid, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Zhao Guangyi laughed and said, "Aiqing fought bravely, but it is not good to speak, don't be nervous, speak slowly." ”
The more uncomfortable Yin Jilun became, sweating on his black face, he turned back to the deputy general beside him and said, "Yuanda, you say." ”
Zhao Guangyi laughed and said, "Okay, just say it." ”
Yuan Da stood up and said, "This time to attack Khitan Yuyue, it all depends on General Yin. At that time, General Yin led us to patrol with several hundred people, and not far from the border, we encountered the Khitan army moving south. We were all terrified, and some people recognized Yelu Huge's battle flag, and they were even more frightened to run, but fortunately, General Yin calmed down and said, 'Run, where can you run?' Can we outrun the Khitan horses? 'General Yin told us to prepare for the fight, it's a big deal to die in battle. Fortunately, the Khitans left us. The general felt strange and arrested a Khitan, and when he asked, it turned out that the Khitans didn't take us seriously at all, and they were in a hurry to intercept General Li Jilong's grain and grass, and they didn't have time to clean us up. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, God blessed, otherwise how could hundreds of us stop the iron hooves of the Khitan? Everyone should go back at once. General Yin said: 'No, the Khitans are here to rob us of our grain and grass, if they win, when they come back, they will take advantage of the victory to plunder us to the north, if they lose, they will definitely take out anger on us, and we don't want to live.' General Yin's words made us frightened, we didn't know what to do, and we had no idea, so we had to ask General Yin what to do? General Yin said: "It is better for us to follow them quietly, these Khitans are extremely arrogant, they must not take us seriously, they will not think that we will follow them, and when the time comes, we will strike from behind by surprise and kill him by surprise, if we are lucky enough to kill the enemy, it will be a credit to the country, in case of unfortunate death, it is better than being captured and killed in Hudi." General Yin's words made our blood boil, and we were all willing to fight to the death. ”
Zhao Guangyi high-fived and said, "Who said Yin Aiqing is not good at words?" What a good thing to say! How powerful! ”
The ministers also applauded and let Yuanda continue.
Yuan Da said: "So, General Yin asked us to feed the war horses, take off the bells of the horses, take a short knife for each of us, and quietly catch up with the Khitan army at night." When it was almost dawn, the Khitan army stopped and buried the pot to cook. Soon, General Li Jilong came to escort grain and grass, and the Khitan army was busy arraying to loot grain and grass, and the camp was in chaos. General Yin saw it and led us straight to the camp of the Khitan Chinese army. The Khitans didn't expect us to kill from behind them, and suddenly, they panicked, and the formation that had just been lined up was also chaotic, and the Chinese army was also in chaos. We shouted together, and the Khitans didn't know how many of us were, so they ran around in shock. General Yin led us to storm the enemy's Chinese tent, and one of the enemy generals came over, but General Yin stabbed him in the throat and fell to the ground and died. The others dispersed, and we stormed the horde, while Jerushuge was having breakfast. General Yin stepped forward and raised his knife to stab, Yelu Xiuge was shocked, lost his breakfast, and had no weapon in his hand, so he had to raise his arm to block, was stabbed in the arm, took a few steps back, dodged General Yin's stabbing repeatedly, kicked down the handsome case, rushed out of the big tent, climbed on the war horse, and fled. ”
Zhao Guangyi said: "Wonderful, really wonderful, this is my hot-blooded man in the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Yin Jilun drank a little too much, waved his hand and said: "What is hot-blooded and not hot-blooded, who let him look down on me, look down on me, I want him to look good." ”
The words made everyone present laugh non-stop.
Zhao Guangyi finally stopped laughing and said: "Yin Aiqing is really a real person, I like it, I want to reward you well." ”
Yuan Da said: "Your Majesty, don't seal him, the Khitans have already named General Yin the 'black-faced king'." ”
"The Black-Faced King?" Zhao Guangyi laughed and said, "This title is good, but the Khitan people are better than I thought, just this title is worthy of Aiqing's face." ”
After that, Zhao Guangyi laughed again, and everyone laughed too.
