Chapter 106: Temptation
There is a hall to be virtuous in the city of Zhending, although the area is not wide, but the victory is in the quiet environment, Feng Dao and other more than ten high-status former dynasty civil and military ministers were placed here by Liu Chengyou, and a lot of soldiers were arranged around to protect it.
An independent courtyard in the northeast of the museum is particularly tightly guarded, forbidden inside and outside, obviously very important, but compared with the protection of other chambers, the elements of house arrest here are obviously larger.
In fact, it is house arrest. The person under house arrest is King Yan, Zhao Yanshou. Previously, after the death of Yelu Deguang, he intended to form Yan soldiers to be independent, and shouted the slogan "I will not return to Longsha", but unfortunately the disparity in strength, the people's hearts were not aligned, and he hesitated.
When Liu Chengyou led his army to attack at night, he was rescued by some loyal subordinates in the chaos, was wounded, and was captured by Murong Yanzhao's Fourth Army after the chaos. For Zhao Yanshou, Liu Chengyou only met once, and then ordered someone to detain him tightly, and then he was entangled in all things, and he ignored it.
There is a well in the small courtyard, Zhao Yanshou sat on the edge of the well, stared down at the well, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, he didn't mean to jump into the well, but he was a little distracted.
Summer has arrived, the weather is unusually hot, and the slightest coolness released from the deep well makes people feel quite comfortable. Zhao Yanshou has been doing well during this time, as a prisoner, except for the restriction of his freedom, nothing humiliating has happened.
There is no shortage of food and clothing, although it is relatively simple, but the whole city is saving supplies, and there are doctors to treat injuries, Zhao Yanshou is a good self-cultivation. At the same time, in the face of such a "courtesy", he also had a little bottom in his heart, and his life must have been saved.
As for the purpose of being placed under house arrest here, he can't guess it for the time being, but he believes that Liu Chengyou must have some purpose.
In the face of great changes, it is inevitable to reflect and summarize. Zhao Yanshou looked back on the first half of his life, and found that the peak period had to belong to the post-Tang Dynasty, marrying the years when he was a concubine of Mingzong, and he soared all the way.
After entering the Khitan in the north, although he was valued by Yelu Deguang and entrusted with Youzhou affairs, he was almost the first Khitan Han people, but after all, he sent people under the fence, and his life could be better. Originally, there was an idea of being canonized as the emperor of the Central Plains, but after trying his best to assist in the destruction of the Jin Dynasty, Yelu Deguang naturally came to cross the river and demolish the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey.
Thinking about the later development, if it weren't for Liu Chengyou's night attack on Liaoying, Zhao Yanshou could be sure that he might not live long.
"I don't know what happened to my son Kuangzan now? The river has always been a place of right and wrong! Suddenly, Zhao Yanshou remembered his son Zhao Kuangzan, who was an envoy in the river.
"It's not easy to think about it!"
Thinking about it, several armor soldiers suddenly broke into the courtyard, and Zhao Yanshou raised his eyes to see the second prince Shi Shiran, who was too young, walking in.
Seeing Zhao Yanshou sitting by the well, Liu Chengyou's cold expression was full of confidence and strength, and he said softly: "King Yan!" ”
Zhao Yanshou felt that he was a hero and wanted to put a shelf on Liu Chengyou's face, but after all, he had to bow his head, and under Liu Chengyou's playful gaze, he couldn't hold on, and with a complicated mood, he got up to greet him.
"King Yan has been doing well lately, how is his recovery from his injury?" didn't care about Zhao Yanshou's reserved hypocrisy, Liu Chengyou said casually, with a mouth, a winner's posture came to his face.
"With His Royal Highness the Prince of Lao worried, it's no big deal!" Subconsciously touched his arm, and the wound still hurt.
"I was riddled with mundane things before, and I didn't have time to visit, so please don't be strange to King Yan." Liu Chengyou said.
"Your Highness has gone through the machine, handled the case, and is a prisoner under the ranks, how dare you bother?" Zhao Yanshou said.
Dealing with Liu Chengyou, Zhao Yanshou seemed very careful. In his opinion, there is absolutely something wrong with Liu Chengyou putting on such a posture when he was a young man.
Liu Chengyou's face didn't change much, as if he was reading the lines: "This time, I brought some meat and wanted to share it with King Yan!" ”
With that, he walked slowly into the room.
In the small room, the table is simply arranged, and he sits opposite Zhao Yanshou. Li Chongju opened a few oil paper packages in his hand, spread them out, and the smell of meat wafted out.
Meat, it's mutton. The method is very simple, it looks quite greasy, and the taste is very strong, but it is very refreshing to eat. At the moment when materials are scarce, it is delicious to be able to get some oil stars.
It is estimated that the light days since this period of time have been too boiling, and Zhao Yanshou has eaten very hard.
"Lone has issued a ban on alcohol, so he can only replace wine with tea!" Licking his lips, Liu Chengyou picked up a glass of water and gestured.
Zhao Yanshou immediately responded.
After eating a full meal of meat, Zhao Yanshou came to his senses, looked at Liu Chengyou's young face, and asked tentatively in a calm voice: "I don't know if His Royal Highness the prince is here, what do you think?" ”
From Zhao Yanshou's tone, Liu Chengyou could feel a little impatient, dropped the remaining bone in his hand, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his hands, and asked without answering: "Can King Yan deliberately go back to Youzhou?" ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yanshou was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "What does Your Highness mean by this?" ”
"King Yan has been running Youzhou for the Khitan for ten years, but because of the identity of Hanchen, he has been suspicious of the Khitan nobles. Ten years of hard work, turned into a pinch of smoke, and even his life was not guaranteed, is King Yan willing? Liu Chengyou continued to ask.
His brows condensed, the suspicion in Zhao Yanshou's eyes became thicker, and he looked at Liu Chengyou, and he didn't deliberately pretend to be cautious: "Your Highness's visit, what is the purpose, and say it bluntly!" ”
Seeing this, Liu Chengyou stopped going around in circles, he was not a person who liked to go around in circles. Looking at Zhao Yanshou, Liu Chengyou said directly: "I want to let the king of Yan return to Youzhou in the north, and play the son of tomorrow, take the land of Youyan as a fief, and replace it hereditarily!" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yanshou looked at Liu Chengyou's calm face, raised his eyebrows, but he was not excited, and ridiculed: "What a big promise, but it's a pity, but it's not real, Youyan is still in the hands of the Khitans." Do you want me to take it myself? ”
"That's what I mean!" Liu Chengyou nodded very calmly.
Zhao Yanshou was directly laughed angrily: "If Your Highness comes to tease me, a prisoner, then your purpose has been achieved!" ”
"Lonely, there is no leisure to play with King Yan!" Liu Chengyou's face was as usual: "King Yan has been operating in Youzhou for ten years, plus the legacy of his father, it can be said that he has a deep foundation, and it is not difficult to pull up a team!" ”
Zhao Yanshou was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and slowly, a bright color flashed in his eyes: "You want me to disturb the situation in Youzhou, restrain the Khitan energy, relieve the pressure on your family, and even become your barrier to the Khitan!" ”
"That's understandable!" Liu Chengyou nodded.
Zhao Yanshou sneered directly: "This is to let me die!" ”
"This is a gamble, it depends on King Yan, whether he is willing to gamble!" Liu Chengyou said leisurely: "King Yan is no longer allowed in the Khitan, in the new dynasty, maybe my father is merciful and will not take your life, but in the future, I am afraid that I can only be a field of Sheweng." King Yan is in the prime of life, can he be willing? In the face of the betrayal of the Khitans, there is no idea of revenge? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yanshou shook his head, and his expression seemed to be a little contemptuous: "This kind of radical method is useless to me!" ”
In the face of his reaction, Liu Chengyou still looked like he was still in trouble, and said to himself: "In the battle of Luancheng, the Khitan suffered heavy losses, which can be described as a nerve-wracking, and the domestic situation is bound to be turbulent. Going south to destroy the Jin Dynasty, the Han people of Youyan and the Hu people were overly oppressed, and they could set off a chaos at any time. Lone heard that Yelu Ruan, the king of Yongkang, gathered troops in Youzhou and seized the emperor's heart, which was clearly revealed. The situation of the Khitan, King Yan must also have understood, so the Empress Dowager Shu Luping, can she allow the son of the King of Dongdan to be the emperor? What's next......"
Liu Chengyou said slowly, with a temptation and agitation in his tone. Zhao Yanshou listened silently, and gradually showed a thoughtful expression.
"Lonely and King Yan, put your heart in your heart. Or that sentence, it depends on whether King Yan dares to bet this time? ”
Liu Chengyou's voice rang in his ears again, Zhao Yanshou came back to his senses and looked at him: "Ripping the earth and sealing the king, you have so much power?" ”
"Naturally not!" Liu Chengyou said: "However, as King Yan said, the land of Youyan is still in the hands of the Khitans, and the new dynasty is not able to go north. Instead of letting my Han land fall into the hands of foreign races, and let my Han people be bullied by Hulu, Mo Ruo handed over to the rule of King Yan. I have the confidence to convince the Son of Heaven! ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yanshou shook his head and smiled again: "You really think highly of me, I don't have that much ability, I started an incident in Youzhou!" ”
"Lone has prepared an army for King Yan!"
