"Do you want to tie up Wang Jizhong and beat him with a hundred military staffs? I don't know what to do with this thing. "This is Xiao Xuan asking for the emperor's opinion.

Yelu Longxu said: "Of course, you should tie him up, and in my opinion, not only should you beat him with a military staff, but also exile him to Beihai to herd sheep like Su Wu, and let him back when the ram has a cub." ”

Xiao Sui said: "The emperor has a good idea. ”

Kang Yanxin hurriedly said, "It's not good. ”

Xiao Sui said: "Why is it bad? To spare his life without conscience is to be extraordinarily gracious. ”

Kang Yanxin said: "People haven't committed crimes, why punish people? ”

Xiao Sui said: "Eh, this is strange, it wasn't you who shouted and killed just now, why did you regret it so quickly?" ”

Kang Yanxin said: "Isn't that what the slave and maid say, and besides, it's me who people don't look down on, and I haven't broken the law." ”

Yelu Longxu said: "You can't say that, he told your relatives that the Queen Mother mentioned it, and if he didn't agree, he disobeyed the Queen Mother, and he committed a crime, and he should be punished for a serious crime." ”

Kang Yanxin panicked, and hurriedly said: "It's all slaves and maids who are not good, people don't fancy slaves and maids, it's not his fault, the queen mother spared him." ”

Xiao Sui said: "Hmph, he has picked up a big bargain, I don't know what to do." ”

Yelu Longxu said: "I think Wang Jizhong is right, how can he, a prisoner of war, be worthy of our famous lady?" ”

Kang Yanxin said: "He may not be able to let go of his family. ”

Xiao Sui said: "This is true, he is a loving and righteous person, it is human nature that he can't let go of his family, the more such a person is, the more trustworthy he is." However, when you come to the Khitan, you must take the Khitan as your home and take root in the Khitan. Yan Xin, don't worry, I will definitely do it for you. ”

Kang Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed.

At this time, the people reported: The imperial concubine asked to see. Xiao Xuan hurriedly asked him to come in.

I only heard someone outside the door say loudly: "The emperor accepted such a big happy event, why didn't he notify the mourning family?" Is it possible that the mourning family is not the concubine of the first emperor? ”

Hearing the voice, Jerodun stood up and walked to the gate. At this time, a warrior in military uniform stepped into the door, saw the emperor, took the emperor's hand, and said: "Your Majesty, what did the mourning family do wrong, even if you were overjoyed, you were not allowed to participate?" Not even a letter came. ”

Yelu Longxu hurriedly said: "The imperial concubine is far away in the west, commanding thousands of troops, and I dare not delay the war in the northwest, so I did not alarm the imperial concubine." ”

The imperial concubine said, "What did the emperor say? What is important for the emperor to accept the queen? Although the mourning family is poor, the emperor is overjoyed, and it is still possible to get together a part. ”

Xiao Xuan smiled: "My sister is joking, who doesn't know that my sister has developed in recent years, and you may have much more in the treasury than in the treasury." But don't be complacent, and hit your grass valley when the time comes. ”

The imperial concubine said: "Look at what the queen mother said, the concubines are the emperor's, the queen mother's, the emperor can take it as he wants, today, the concubine came, left in a hurry, did not bring anything good, only brought some clothes, armor, in addition, a thousand camels, five thousand horses from the Western Regions, to help the emperor accept the queen's joy." ”

Xiao Xuan listened, praised it, and said: "It's still called poor, look, who else in the world has such a big hand?" Your Majesty, thank you the Imperial Concubine yet. ”

Yelu Longxu hurriedly said: "Thank you Imperial Concubine, since I was a child, I have always been taken care of by the Imperial Concubine, and now, as the king of a country, I still have to rely on the Imperial Concubine's help, and I can't let you enjoy happiness with peace of mind, this is all my incompetence!" ”

The imperial concubine hurriedly said: "Look at what the emperor said, didn't the mourning family just say, the mourning family is the emperor's, as long as the emperor does not forget the mourning family in his heart, it will be the blessing of the mourning family." ”

Xiao Sui said: "The imperial concubine said that we are a family, how can we forget?" ”

The imperial concubine said yes again and again, and Yelu Longxu also said that the family does not speak the words of the two families, and they are blessed and enjoy the same hardships, which made the imperial concubine very moved. Everyone talks to me, pulls homely things, and talks happily.

Xiao Sui said: "My sister has been in the northwest border for a long time, and she has experienced wind and sand, which is very difficult, isn't it?" ”

The imperial concubine said: "The northwest is bitterly cold, the desert is even the sky, walking in the desert, sometimes dozens of days, can not see anything else, the eyes are full of yellow sand, between the heaven and the earth can almost only see two colors, the yellow ground, the blue sky, sometimes you can see the sunset, the red is very brilliant, but it is like a fire burning panic." When the wind blows, the raised sand and gravel shoot straight like arrows, and they are smashed through the armor. ”

Xiao Sui said: "My sister is really suffering, don't go in the future, where can a woman suffer like this?" ”

Yelu Longxu also said: "Yes, the imperial concubine, don't go, let the generals go about the war." ”

The imperial concubine said, "What did the emperor say? When will we not want women in the Khitan Kingdom to fight? Half of the Khitan world has women, and back then, Emperor Taizu was able to achieve the world, and half of it was due to Empress Chunqin. Besides, now, isn't the queen mother also a Rong armor, coming to the battle array, not avoiding swords, and attacking cities? The queen mother can fight for the emperor, why can't the mourning family be born and die for the emperor? ”

Xiao Sui said: "Sister, don't think about going elsewhere, the emperor is worried that you will suffer too much and don't worry." ”

The imperial concubine said: "Don't worry? Not worried about what? Worried that the concubine doesn't have this ability? ”

Xiao Sui said, "Where? The imperial concubine is outstanding, and there are a few people in Khitan who can compare, in recent years, she has been operating in the northwest, and she has been well governed, and the river is clear and the sea is clear, and it has become a happy land. You see, the east and the south are not peaceful, only the northwest is stable, and this is all the credit of my sister. ”

The imperial concubine said: "The queen mother must not mention the word credit, we are all doing a little bit for the Khitan Zhongxing, but, having said that, the concubines can run the northwest well, and they have indeed made a lot of hard work, Li Jiqian is the first rat at both ends, mercenary, is a difficult to deal with the lord, the party, Hui, obstruction, Wugu has their own ambitions, rebellious, unruly, to deal with them must be treated differently, divide and rule, must not let one side become bigger, can not let them unite, use their feud, let them attack each other, fight, Let's take advantage of the fisherman's profits. ”

Yelu Longxu shouted: "Okay, the imperial concubine is really a female Zhuge , you are in the northwest, I don't have to worry about it." ”

The imperial concubine said: "However, now the northwest seems to be calm, but in fact, the waves are surging, and the mourning family detectives found that Li Jiqian has been active in recent days, and the sentry cavalry often crosses the border for dozens of miles, so we must take precautions early." ”

Xiao Sui said: "What the imperial concubine said is that the northwest is very important, and it may be where my Khitan is fundamentally located in the future, so there must be no mistakes." ”

The imperial concubine said: "The queen mother is wise, in fact, when the concubine comes back this time, there is one more thing to implore the emperor." ”

Yelu Longxu asked, "What does the imperial concubine want?" ”

The imperial concubine said: "The mourning family wants two people. ”

Yelu Longxu said: "The imperial concubine wants two people, which two people?" ”

The imperial concubine said: "The mourning family wants to let the two concubines Xiao row up, Xiao Hengde and the mourning family go to the northwest, where young and brave descendants are needed." ”

Xiao Sui felt a "sigh" in his heart, thought about it for a while, and said: "The northwest is very important, these two people are too young, and their experience is superficial, I am afraid it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility, Han Dewei has been in the northwest for a long time, and he has rich experience, and the Imperial Concubine Sasuke will definitely succeed, in addition, if necessary, I can send Xiao Tzu Rin to the northwest and wait for the dispatch of the imperial concubine." ”

The Empress Dowager thought for a while and said, "The Empress Dowager is still thoughtful, how can a colt go to such a bitter cold place?" ”

Xiao Sui said: "You can't say that, the horses have to go to difficult places, but they are about to go south, and the emperor needs people." ”

The imperial concubine said: "We are going to the south?" ”

Xiao Sui said: "Yes, the Song State has repeatedly attacked our country three times, and the generals have long been unable to hold back their anger, and they want to take advantage of the defeat of the Song State to take revenge." ”

The imperial concubine said loudly: "Okay, good, it's time to let the southerners suffer some." ”

Everyone said some more words, the imperial concubine got up to say goodbye, Xiao Xuan, Yelu Longxu sent out the door, watching the imperial concubine walk away, Xiao Xuan sighed, turned around and entered the palace.

Yelu Longxu also followed and asked, "Why is the Queen Mother sighing?" ”

Xiao Sui said: "It's getting more and more domineering. ”

Yelu Longxu said, "Who is becoming more and more domineering? ”

Xiao Sui asked rhetorically: "Didn't the emperor see it?" ”

Yelu Longxu said: "The queen mother is talking about the imperial concubine? ”

Xiao Xuan said: "Who do you think I am talking about? ”

Yelu Longxu said: "I don't think the imperial concubine is domineering. ”

Xiao Sui said: "Can the emperor serve snacks, don't see her send you so many things, just trust her, as a border general, without the emperor's consent, she left her post without permission, and wants to transfer generals, does she still have you as the emperor in her heart?" Hmph, she's ambitious. ”
