The next day, after Wen Tianxiang and Yeluzhongjie had a deep talk, although Yeluzhongjie was touched, he still didn't seem to be completely relieved.

Cui Xiuning had no choice but to come forward in person, summon him to the main hall of the society, and talk to him again.

"The last general, Yelu Zhongjie, has seen Madame." Yelu Zhongjie came to the main hall of the society and bowed to Cui Xiuning a little reluctantly.

After Cham was ambushed and surrendered by the Tang army, he thought it was the Song army that surrendered. He didn't have a good impression of Meng Yuan in the first place, and fighting for Meng Yuan was just for the survival of his clan, and it was purely helpless. It's not impossible to serve the Song army.

But when he knew that the other party was not the Song army, but the Tang army, and the Tang monarch was Li Luo, the general of the southern expedition he admired, Yelu Zhongjie finally became angry.

He felt betrayed and fooled by the general. The good impression left by Li Luo immediately plummeted.

He is not stupid, thinking about it before and after, how can he not know that it is a big situation? General Li Luo acted like this, isn't he a treacherous man who is inconsistent on the outside and hypocritical and cunning?

If you want to oppose the yuan, you will be against it openly, do it vigorously, and if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, and in the eyes of the people of the world, you are still a big hero.

But it's better for you to pretend to be the Goryeo clan and deceive the Yuan court for convenience, so forget it. But he sought to obtain high-ranking officials of the Yuan court, pretended to seek personal interests by the hands of the Yuan court, and secretly did things against the Yuan.

Even if you win the world, after all, you have been an important minister of the Yuan Court and have received the title and title of the Yuan Court, what can you say?

You are unscrupulous, there is no faith at all, although you have the ability, but most of them can only share hardships and hardships but not prosperity, but you are the likes of Liu Bang. Serving you, it is estimated that it will be the end of the rabbit and the dog.

The reason why Yelu Zhongjie did not resist was just because he was afraid of the lives of the six thousand tribesmen, so he could only endure it temporarily. But he no longer has trust in Li Luo, who he once admired.

Li Luo is the righteous son of Wanyan Duo, the king of the Jin Kingdom, and the cousin of Shi Mo Huaide. Of course, Shi Mo Huaide can work for Li Luo, but he is Yelu Zhongjie, what reason does he have to work for this kind of person?

Although Wen Tianxiang talked to him a lot, which made his disgust with Li Luo diluted, he still felt uncomfortable.

This time, the regent of the Tang Kingdom summoned him, and he also guessed what it was for, so he resisted.

"General Jerod excuses me." Cui Xiuning smiled warmly, and asked Shi Coral to fetch chilled melons and fruits and reward them to Yelu Zhongjie.

"Mrs. Xie." Yelu Zhongjie said lightly, not iced melons and fruits.

Cui Xiuning said: "I heard that General Yelu is the seventh grandson of Liao Dezong? "Liao Dezong is Yelu Dashi, Cui Xiuning, a rookie in history, didn't know, she still listened to Wen Tianxiang.

Yelu Zhongjie heard Cui Xiuning mention Yelu Dashi, and couldn't help but show admiration, and replied: "Mrs. Haojiao knows that the last general is the seventh grandson of Dezong. ”

Cui Xiuning nodded, "It's really a hero." General Yelu was born in the Western Regions, right? Are there any people there? ”

Yelu Zhongjie said: "The last general was indeed born in the Western Regions. After the death of the Great Liao (Western Liao), most of the clansmen led the westward expedition with the Mongol army, and many died in the extreme west. Today's hometown of Daliao, there are not many clansmen left. ”

Cui Xiuning knows in his heart, there are not many, which means that there are still some.

Cui Xiuning didn't speak again, but took out a letter, which was a letter she concocted in Li Luo's handwriting in Li Luo's tone.

Cui Xiuning's calligraphy was originally very poor, that is, she has been the regent in the past few years, in order not to let her subordinates laugh at her words, she has only worked hard to practice for a few years, and now it can only be said that it is unsatisfactory, which can be regarded as a beginner in calligraphy.

But Li Luo's calligraphy is very popular, and he is already a generation of calligraphers. Originally, with Cui Xiuning's calligraphy skills, it was impossible to imitate his handwriting.

However, because Cui Xiuning did not have a calligraphy to practice calligraphy, he has been practicing with Li Luo's calligraphy as a model. If Li Luo learned Dong Shu, then Cui Xiuning learned "Li Shu".

In calligraphy, she is a student of her husband.

Therefore, I copied it many times, and finally reluctantly imitated a letter with seven or eight points similar to Li Luo's handwriting.

If this letter is familiar with Li Luo's handwriting and is proficient in calligraphy, he will definitely see that it is a forgery.

But it is enough to fool Yelu Zhongjie, who is not familiar with Li Luo's handwriting and does not know calligraphy.

"Look at this letter." Cui Xiuning handed the letter to Yelu Zhongjie. She believed that Jerod Chung could not see through it.

When Yelu Zhongjie opened the letter, he felt that the handwriting was a little familiar, and he immediately remembered that the document issued by the general issued military orders seemed to be in this font. He doesn't know calligraphy, but he doesn't have a memory.

Then this must be Li Luo's handwritten letter.

When Jerod saw the letter, he had to feel ashamed.

The letter reads:

“… I don't care about White. Huaide is the nephew of the princess, my cousin, and if you spend it with affection, it will belong to me Tang. Those I am concerned about, I am also faithful. ”

"Loyalty, generosity, gentleman, square and faithful, is to value his virtue, and there is more care for the south. Although loyalty comes, I am afraid of misunderstanding my heart, and most of them are not ashamed of my deeds, let alone the agreement between kings and ministers. ”

"If he doesn't come down, Madame must not force him. I am for the sake of the world, I lost my trust in the Yuan Court, I endured the humiliation, and I had no choice but to conspire. An can kill the gentleman and regain the righteousness of the hero? I would rather bear a few people than the people of the world. My heart is bright, only my wife knows, what others say, what history says, thousands of scolding, but what is it. ”

"Loyalty is my robe. The Khitan boy is also my Chinese child. If it does not fall, one shall not be killed, and the other shall not be humiliated, and it will hurt my righteousness. The lady can organize her department to serve as a people, reward acres of land, give Annan women as wives, settle down as farmers, regard them as the same as Han people, live and work in peace and contentment, and make them worry about food and clothing..."

It's hard for Cui Xiuning, if it weren't for the progress in classical Chinese in recent years, she really wouldn't be able to imitate Li Luo's tone.

This letter, a thousand instructions, is the same meaning, no matter whether Yelu Zhong descends or not, do not treat him badly. The writer of the letter endured the hardships of humiliation for the sake of the people of the world, and he also jumped on the paper, and he could not be moved by Yelu Zhongjie.

After reading this letter, Yelu Zhongjie couldn't help but feel guilty. The ancients said that righteousness is divided into great righteousness and small righteousness, loyalty is divided into ministers and small loyalty, and virtue is divided into great virtue and small virtue. Now it seems that he is a small righteousness, but the general is a great righteousness.

The general is broad-minded, treats people sincerely, and sympathizes with the old department, those methods are just helpless moves, and his heart is still heroic, and he really blames him.

Cui Xiuning sighed and said, "This letter should not have been known to General Yelu. It's just that I saw that the general had a bad heart and was worried that he would hurt the king's wisdom, so I had no choice but to show it. If General Yelu doesn't have the heart to serve the Tang Army, just because you were the old king, I won't treat you badly, so I will naturally treat everyone equally......"

Yelu Zhongjie hurriedly knelt down and said sonorously: "Minister Yelu Zhongjie, Xie Jun is kind, Mrs. Xie is elegant!" Khitan men are not good at farming, and they are willing to sincerely submit to the Tang Dynasty and serve the king! ”

Cui Xiuning carefully observed Yelu Zhongjie's expression, and knew that he was really moved by this letter and sincerely attached himself.

"General Jerry, please!" Cui Xiuning smiled and said falsely.

More than 6,000 Khitan cavalry, it's really here!

This method is indeed a bit inferior, but Cui Xiuning, as a spy leader, was influenced by Li Luo, how could he really take it seriously? In her view, the means are not the point, the focus is on whether it is public or private, and whether the end can be achieved.

Forging a letter can make more than 6,000 Khitan cavalry really work, why not do it?

Originally, the Tang State only had more than 10,000 cavalry under the command of Hugu and Guangxia, of which 10,000 were Jurchens, more than 1,000 were Khitans, and more than 2,000 were northern Han Chinese.

Now with the addition of Li Yi's more than 4,000 party cavalry, Shi Mo Huaide's more than 6,000 Jurchen cavalry, and Yelu Zhongjie's more than 6,000 Khitan cavalry, the Tang army's cavalry exceeded 30,000.

These 30,000 cavalry are all elite cavalry who are good at riding and shooting, and they are not much worse than the Mongolian cavalry.

With such 30,000 cavalry in hand, the Tang army's mobile attack combat power was greatly enhanced.

"Your family is still in Yunnan. Rest assured, I will send someone to watch over them secretly. Pick them up and join you at every opportunity. The generals of the Tang State served the country, and I can't ignore their families. Cui Xiuning took the initiative to mention one thing that Yelu Zhongjie cared about.

Yelu Zhongjie was very moved, he couldn't imagine that his wife remembered this.

"Minister, thank you, Madame!" Jerod was really convinced.

Cui Xiuning gave him a few more words of Yeluzhong's festival, and rewarded him with some white sugar, shark fin, whale meat, and ice cubes produced in Haidong. Let Yelu Zhongjie be even more moved.

Mrs. is considerate of her subordinates, meticulous, and really has the style of the mother of the country, which is heartbreaking.

After Yelu Zhongjie left the Tang Mansion, Cui Xiuning drank a bowl of sour plum soup and hurried to do another big thing.

That is to help Li Luo seek an official position in the Pingzhang political affairs of Huguang Province.

The Tang State is about to raise troops, and this is also Li Luo's last official position in the Yuan Court.

The Pingzhang political affairs of Huguang Province allowed Li Luo to use his authority to smuggle tens of thousands of elite soldiers to Jingxiang and Western Hubei, launch a surprise attack to occupy Jiannan Pass and Wuguan, block the road to the south of the million-yuan army in the north, and buy strategic time for the Tang State.

If Wuguan and Jiannanguan are not taken, the main force of the Yuan army will continue to move south, how can the nascent Tang State withstand it? Even if it can be carried by it, the south will be beaten to pieces.

This official position is not for immigration, just to seize the pass!

"Chan'er, spread the word that Li Zhi and them came to see me!"

"No!"

After a while, Li Zhi, Li Mian and others arrived.

"Teacher!" They all saluted together.

Cui Xiuning asked them to sit down, and after eating the chilled melons and fruits and candied fruits, they began to talk about business.

"Huguang Pingzhang Ali Hague's affairs, how are the preparations?" Cui Xiuning asked. The Special Investigation Bureau has been targeting Ali Hague for half a year, and it is time to take action.

Li Zhi said: "Teacher, rest assured, everything has been planned." When we let Ali Hague be dismissed, he will be dismissed. As soon as the teacher gave the order, his colleagues would immediately report him for the four major crimes! ”

What are the four deadly sins?

concealed 20,000 slaves, embezzled 2 million yuan in taxes, burned Tianyun Temple, and robbed the Yangtze River merchant ships many times with family soldiers pretending to be robbers.

Of course, these four crimes were not enough to make Ali Hague lose his head, but they were enough to make him dismiss from office.

Cui Xiuning asked again: "What about Dadu?" ”

Li Zhi said: "Dadu has also arranged it, and I will cooperate with you at any time." Not surprisingly, Hu Guang Pingzhang must be succeeded by the king. ”

Cui Xiuning nodded, "Then let's do it, pull Ali Hague off the horse first!" He's a Huguang Pingzhang, so let's stop here. ”

"No!"

…………

On July 4, Li Luo and his entourage finally came to Dadu.

The officials of the General Administration Department had already reported to the Yuan Court, and by the time Li Luo came to Dadu, the officials of the Ministry of Rites had already faced the scorching sun and lined up the ceremony to welcome the triumphant commander at Anzhenmen, rolling out the red carpet.

In the melodic melody, bells and drums play in unison, Mongolian girls with lambs in their arms wear garlands and sing steppe war songs, and the dancing girls of the Jiaofang Division dance.

A large group of eagle falcons such as Haidongqing were carried by Xi Baochi (eagle raising officer) and lined up on both sides, and a pair of eagle eyes looked at the direction from which the triumphant procession came.

There is also a group of shamans with eitlers (magic swords), hanging hengerige (dharma drums) and wearing nine bronze mirrors, dancing wildly with their long hair and chanting mystical prayers.

On the upper floor of Anzhenmen City, there is a real golden prince dressed in a gorgeous quality sun suit, and today he represents Kublai Khan to welcome Li Luo's prisoner team.

The general of the southern expedition to destroy a country, and the commander of the army entered Beijing to offer prisoners, and the real merit of destroying the country and greatly increasing the prestige of the Great Yuan must be greeted in person.

Not only the prince of Zhenjin and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, but also all the princes and nobles above the fifth rank in Beijing, all came to welcome the general Zhengnan who returned to Beijing in triumph.

With such a grand ceremony, of course, it was not Li Luo himself who was welcomed, but Dayuan Weijia and the martial arts in the sea.

In the noise of Kaile, as soon as Li Luo's big curtain appeared, firecrackers rang out outside An Zhen's door. A team of Mongolian teenagers dressed in white, holding mare's milk wine, hada, horse whips and other things in their hands, trotted towards Li Luo, who was on a white horse and white armor.

They ran to Li Luo's horse, knelt down together, and said in Mongolian: "O auspicious man who floats like a white cloud, you are a hero who sings in the steppe, and you are a warrior who comes down from Mount Burhan... Your triumphant return is the Hai Dongqing who came fluttering..."

While singing, he respectfully handed over the mare's milk wine for Li Luo to drink, and at the same time hung Hada on Li Luo's horse's head, and the Mongolian boy with the whip led Li Luo's horse, gently whipped it, and sang: "Our hero is back, is he tired..."

Just like that, in front of the red carpet in front of An Zhen's door, Li Luo dismounted.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Li Luo was still a little stunned when he saw this kind of scene.

Uncle Kublai Khan, it's over.

If you do that, I'll have a hard time doing it, and I'm embarrassed to rebel.

That is, Li Luo, if you change people, seeing such a grand welcome ceremony, you can't think about it.

But thinking that this ceremony was not Kublai Khan's special love for him, but the glory that all the commanders who destroyed the country could enjoy, Li Luo was also relieved.

Li Luo dismounted, and Prince Zhenjin went down to the Anzhenmen Tower, and took hundreds of civil and military ministers and clan nobles out of the city to greet him.

"Wow! Phew! "One by one, Hai Dongqing and other birds of prey were released by the eagle keepers, hissing and piercing the sky. This is to pay tribute to Li Luo with the eagle spreading its wings.

"Woooo The horn sounded at the right time, and the real golden prince dressed up on a hot day, and led the officers of the brigade to step on the red carpet to usher in.

Li Luo hurriedly knelt down, but was held up by Zhenjin first, and laughed: "Morgen Batu, you have returned triumphantly, the Great Khan is very happy!" Hongu is also very happy! ”

The other ministers also saluted together: "Congratulations to General Zhengnan for his contribution to destroying the country!" "This is also the procedure of the ceremony.

Li Luo also saluted and said: "This battle is all thanks to the Great Khan Hongfu, the prince is benevolent, and the soldiers use their lives to win this victory." Wechen has no credit! "It's also a polite word, or a procedure.

The real golden prince entered the city with Li Luo's hand, and said with a smile: "Mergen Badu, the Great Khan is waiting for the prisoner on the Lingxing Gate, let's go." ”

Li Luo was just like this by the real golden prince into the capital city and went in the direction of the imperial city.

Chen Yiji, the king of Jiaozhou, who was following behind, looked at Li Luo's back and hated itchy, especially the eyes of the officials of the Yuan Court who looked at him as if they were looking at a prisoner, which made him even more angry.

This king surrendered on his own initiative! It's not a prisoner like Chen Yu who was forced to surrender, you guys are mistaken!

As for the king of Annam, Chen Yu, the Taiwei Chen Guangqi, Pingzhang Li Wenxiu and others who followed behind Chen Yiji, although they were real prisoners, they looked indifferent.

The grand procession beat gongs and drums and came to the imperial city under the Lingxing Gate, and saw that the towering city tower had been lit up with lights, and in the middle of the city tower, there was a huge canopy, as well as a full set of honor guards of the Son of Heaven.

Even Kublai Khan's Nine Black-tailed and Nine-White-tailed Sulu Ingot Daxu, as well as the emperor's unique Nine Blue Wolf Battle Banner, also stood on the city tower, incomparably majestic.

A large number of cowardly guards, sanitation up and down the city tower. Pairs of elephants, rhinoceros, cranes, eagles, lions, tigers, turtles and other birds and animals are also lined up on the left and right.

Under the city gates, several huge incense burners were like mist, and a group of shamans were muttering prayers.

Seeing Prince Zhenjin and Li Luo coming, a group of warriors rushed out of the city gate, holding ropes, and using ropes to symbolically string Chen Yu and other Annan monarchs and ministers.

Soon, a samurai wanted to put a rope around Chen Yiji, thinking that Chen Yiji was also a prisoner who had been sacrificed.

"No, I'm not!" Chen Yiji was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again.

The Mongolian warriors couldn't understand his Chinese, but when they saw that he was dressed in Hanfu like Chen Yu and others, with wide robes and big sleeves, they decided that he was a prisoner, where would he let him go?

"General!" Chen Yiji was in a hurry, so he had to call Li Luo for help.

Li Luo looked back, immediately smiled dumbly, and said in Mongolian: "Warriors, let go of this poor man, he is the king of Jiaozhou, not a prisoner." ”

"Wow! As you wish! The Mongolian warrior let go of Chen Yiji, and also stroked Chen Yiji's chest and made amends.

Chen Yiji made a false alarm, hurriedly walked a few steps, and got close to Li Luo. At the same time, he scolded in his heart: Barbarian! Barbarian!

At this time, the music under the city tower was replaced by the Mongolian national music "Haidong Qingna Swan", and in the magnificent music, Kublai Khan's tall figure finally appeared on the city tower, as if standing in the clouds, looking down on everything.

"Great Khan! Sweat! Sweat! ”

A large number of people knelt down under the city gate, and even the real golden prince fell to his knees.

Immediately afterwards, something happened to Li Luo's surprise, only to hear the ministers shouting again, but long live long live long live!

I'll go! This is the first thing I said, and it was learned by the officials of the Yuan court so quickly? Paid the royalties?

Li Luo guessed correctly, because Kublai Khan liked this greeting very much, the Han officials of the Yuan Dynasty Rite Department quickly learned it, and now it has become a formal and standardized etiquette.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!" In the long live of the mountain call, Chen Yu and other Annan monarchs and ministers were put on sheepskins on a hot day, and were led by the samurai to the city tower and knelt on the ground.

After that, the seals of the Yue Kingdom, the Yellow Book and other items were all presented to Kublai Khan on the city tower.

Immediately afterwards, a cowardly guard ran down the city tower and said loudly: "The Great Khan said that Annan is dead!" ”

A large group of cowardly Xue guards shouted together: "The Great Khan said that Annan is dead!" ”

Then hundreds of officials shouted together: "The Great Khan said that Annan is dead!" ”

Half of the people in the capital heard the voice coming from the imperial city: Annan is dead.
