Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's first feeling to Kou Ji was that he was more like an emperor than Zhao Heng.

Excluding his merits and demerits with Zhao Heng, just from the point of view of appearance, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu is more imperial and majestic than Zhao Heng.

Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, the queen of Liao, who was sitting next to the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, was a beautiful woman with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and she really responded to her name, sitting there smiling like a bodhisattva, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.

Although she was wearing a gorgeous back robe, she didn't have much of an aggressive extravagance.

As for Yelu Zongzhen, the great prince of the Liao Kingdom, who was sitting on the other side of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, he was still a little baby, rolling around in his seat, and everything was novel.

If it weren't for the maids to stop them, it is estimated that they would have raised their little hands at Kou Ji to hug them.

When Kou Ji's gaze fell on Concubine Shunshengyuan, the true biological mother of Yeluzong, the great prince of Liao, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.

What does it look like to put on a monkey in a gorgeous costume, and what is it like to be the concubine of Shunsheng Yuan, Xiao Yunjin.

The body is emaciated, the face is as black as charcoal, and it is extremely ugly (not made up of straw, it is written in the history books).

The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched slightly, and his gaze fell on Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu again.

He really wanted to question the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.

You are the Emperor of Liao, how did you start in the face of such a strange woman?

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu saw that Kou Ji had a strange look on his face, and his eyes had just crossed over from Xiao Yunjin, the concubine of Shunsheng, and he roughly guessed Kou Ji's thoughts.

He was annoyed and angry in his heart, and he wanted to open his mouth on the spot, and let people drag Kou Ji down and cut the rings of the years little by little.

He also wanted to rant at Koji.

Do you think I'm willing? I had sex with her back then, but I was forced by my mother.

After all, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu still didn't let people drag Kou Ji out and cut it.

For him, the things that Kou Ji was thinking about were not enough for him to completely tear his face with Da Song.

He is far more tolerant than ordinary people, and far more determined than ordinary people.

Especially the problems in the matter of men and women, which will not shake his mind for half a point.

After all, he grew up watching his mother, Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan, and his Ji father Yelu Longyun (Han Derang) eat together, sit together, and sleep together (this matter is not a straw fabrication, the matter of Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Derang living a married life is recorded in "Chengyi Lu").

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's gaze glanced at Kou Ji and snorted coldly.

Those who denounced Kou Ji instantly closed their mouths.

Xiang Minzhong hurriedly led Wang Zeng and Kou Ji and his entourage, bowed to the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, "Foreign minister Xiang Minzhong (Wang Zeng), see His Majesty the Emperor of Liao, have seen the Empress of Liao, have seen Shunsheng Yuan Concubine Niangniang, and have seen His Royal Highness the Great Prince of Liao......"

After the salute.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu smiled and said: "Xiang Gong, you and I are also old acquaintances, I know that I don't like these vulgar etiquette, please hurry up." ”

Xiang Minzhong bowed his hand again and said with a smile: "Thank you for the wrong love of His Majesty the Emperor of Liao......"

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu nodded slowly and smiled: "Xiang Gong quickly sit down, I remember that when the Empress Dowager Chengtian entertained you in the past, you liked my Da Liao's pear blossom white very much, I specially asked people to prepare the best pear blossom white tonight, Xiang Gong must drink it." ”

Xiang Minzhong bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness to His Majesty the Emperor of Liao." ”

After the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu asked Xiang Minzhong to sit down, he smiled at Wang Zeng and said: "The name of the prince has been famous for a long time, but I have never had a chance to see it. See you today, I want to talk to the prince and the good life.

The "Khitan Chronicles" written by the prince, I have always kept it next to my pillow, and I will read it carefully in my spare time, and there are some incomprehensible points in it, and I still need to discuss it with the prince. ”

When Wang Zeng heard this, he was stunned at first, and then hurriedly said: "The foreign minister has never sent an envoy to Liao, and his understanding of the customs and customs of Liao is relatively one-sided. There are some places in the book "Khitan Chronicles" that do not match the national conditions of the Liao State. How dare the foreign minister get an axe in front of you, the Khitan co-master. ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu waved his hand and said: "The prince does not have to be humble, although the prince has never been to my Liao country, but the description of the national conditions of my Liao country in the prince's "Khitan Chronicles" is three points.

The prince was able to write the "Khitan Chronicles" only based on rumors and a few classics.

If the prince is allowed to stay in my Liao country for a year or two, he will definitely be able to write a masterpiece comparable to Taishi Gong's "Historical Records". ”

Wang Zeng smiled bitterly and said: "How dare the foreign minister be compared with Taishi Gong." ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said magnificently: "Why should the prince say such frustrating words, I think that the prince has this ability." ”

Wang Zeng arched his hand and said: "Thank you to His Majesty the Emperor of Liao. ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu waved his hand and said heroically: "The prince is a great talent, and he should be given a seat." ”

Wang Zeng arched his hand, and under the guidance of Liao's domestic servants, he sat down next to Xiang Minzhong.

Xiang Minzhong had previously sent an envoy to the Liao State, and he had already obtained the qualification to sit on the throne in the Liao State, so he sent an envoy to the Liao State again, and there was no need for the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu to say, and the Liao domestic attendant would also lead him to the upper seat and sit down.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu successively treated Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng well, and Kou Ji straightened his mouth.

It's really more people than people have to die, and they are throwing more goods.

No wonder people can lead the Liao State to the point where all countries come to the court.

Compared with others, Zhao Heng is really worse than half a star.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's humility and kindness in dealing with people and things are completely different from his domineering and domineering when he led the troops.

Although the conversation between him and Xiang Minzhong was only a few words, Kou Ji heard too many things from it.

He knows Xiang Minzhong's preferences very well, even after many years, he can still remember them clearly, and in a few words, he brought the relationship between them closer to the time they met for the first time.

What does this mean?

It shows that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu attaches great importance to Xiang Minzhong and keeps Xiang Minzhong in mind.

If he hadn't been from the Yelu clan or the Liao, it is estimated that Xiang Minzhong would have knelt at his feet and become his courtier.

and Wang Zeng.

The first time they met, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu used Wang Zeng's writings as an excuse to get closer to each other.

even unabashedly revealed his appreciation to Wang Zeng.

even put on a posture of asking Wang Zeng for advice.

"Khitan Chronicles"?

What book is that?

Kou Ji had been in Bianjing for nearly two years and had never heard of this book.

I didn't know that Wang had written such a book.

But Yelu Longxu, the Liao Emperor who was thousands of miles away, not only knew the "Khitan Chronicles", but even studied it carefully.

Who is he?

The Khitan co-lord, the emperor of Liao, the master of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains.

There are countless official tasks to deal with every day, and there is also leisure to find a book that Kou Ji has never stopped reading.

It shows his thirst for talents, thirst for knowledge, and appreciation for Wang Zeng.

A generation of heroes, it's really not just a casual talk......

"Are you...... Koji? ”

Just when Kou Ji compared Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu with Zhao Heng, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's eyes fell on Kou Ji, and he asked in a low voice.

Under the inquiry of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, Kou Ji slowly came back to his senses and arched his hand: "The foreign minister is Kou Ji. ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stared at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "You are the only one I have ever seen who wanders when I speak......

Kou Ji smiled awkwardly: "The foreign minister is rude." ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu paused, slowly shook his head, and said, "I know that you are a person who does not stick to vulgar etiquette. I will not force you, nor will I blame you. ”

Kou Ji arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor of Liao." ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said faintly: "In the past two years, your name has frequently sounded in my ears. I've heard a lot about your deeds. For example, you built a Kou bus and was filial to your grandfather. Guarding the soul of my royal brother, I almost broke my legs on my knees. Such filial piety really makes me feel admired.

But what makes me admire even more is that you can actually see through my plan in many clues, and participate in my purpose of attacking Western Xia. ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu slowly got up, raised his hands, and said in a loud voice: "In order to attack Western Xia, I planned from April of the eighth year of Kaitai to the end of the year. Until I led an army of 500,000 westwards, no one discovered my plan.

I have deceived the world. ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu withdrew his hand, his eyes fell on Kou Ji, and he said in a heavy voice: "But I didn't hide it from you. You are the only one in the world who can see through my mind.

I did not hesitate to invite you to my Daliao party on the grounds of discussing the coins of the year, just to ask you in person.

How did you see through my plan? ”

Facing the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's questioning in court, Kou Ji's eyes rolled and he decisively threw the black pot on Yelu Angkor.

Kou Ji arched his hand and said: "Since His Majesty the Emperor of Liao State did not hesitate to invite foreign ministers to Liao State on the grounds of New Year's coins, and asked about this matter in person, then the foreign ministers can't help but answer." The reason why the foreign minister was able to get involved in this matter was because of the reminder of Yelu Angkor, the fourth prince of your country. ”

"Nonsense, how could my fourth brother tell you such an important matter?"

As soon as Kou Ji's words fell, a prince of Liao who was about fourteen years old stood up and shouted.

Kou Ji's eyes fell on Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, and saw that Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu didn't say anything.

He looked at the prince of Liao, who was about fourteen years old, and said indifferently: "Who are you?" ”

"Presumptuous! This is the wish of my six princes of Daliao, Zuo Xiaowei's general Yelu Zong. Song Chen, why don't you give a gift quickly? ”

Some Liao ministers scolded in the court.

Kou Ji's eyes were on Yelu Zongyuan, and he arched his hand lightly: "Foreign minister Kou Ji, I have seen His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince of Liao. ”

"Humph!"

Yelu Zong snorted coldly, stared at Kou Ji arrogantly, and said, "You are obviously talking nonsense, casually biting my fourth brother." You hurt my fourth brother for the sake of the groom, and I haven't settled this account with you yet. You want to frame my fourth brother again? ”

Kou Ji stared at Yelu Zongyuan and said, "Whether it is framed or not, I haven't said it yet, how can you conclude that I am talking nonsense." ”

Yelu Zong snorted coldly: "You Song people are the best at sophistry, clever words, and can say that the black is white and the white is black. From the words that came out of your Song people's mouths, there are a few words that can be taken seriously. ”

Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully, looked at Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu again, and asked, "Your Majesty the Emperor of Liao, is this also what you mean?" ”

Emperor Yelu Longxu of Liao finally spoke again, "The reason why I set off for Angkor was not because he leaked my plan to attack Western Xia, but because he exposed a flaw in the vertical arch hall of the Song court, so that you can see the truth and falsehood.

I also don't believe that Angkor will tell you something so important about my attack on Western Xia.

Although the children of Angkor are a little reckless, they always like to speak without words.

But he's a kid who knows what to do.

In the face of major rights and wrongs, he will never leak half a sentence. ”

Kou Ji figured out the attitude of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, and secretly sneered in his heart.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu had to ask him to explain this matter clearly, so don't blame him for killing Yelu Angkor.

Immediately, Kou Ji arched his hand to Emperor Yelu Longxu of Liao, and said frankly: "The reason why the foreign minister said that this matter was told to the foreign minister by the four princes of your country is not his words. It's what he does.

The foreign minister vaguely remembered that the first time he saw the four princes of your country, it was in the Great Xiangguo Temple.

At that time, the four princes of your country made people block the Great Xiangguo Temple and threatened to pray inside.

But the foreign minister thinks that if the four princes of your country really pray in the Great Xiangguo Temple, they should not block the Great Xiangguo Temple for no reason, if the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are unhappy.

Therefore, the foreign minister led people to break into the Great Xiangguo Temple.

In it, he bumped into the four princes of your country and An Ziluo, the general of Qingtang Zanpu Jiaoluo.

Since it is a blessing, then there should only be the four princes of your country in the Great Xiangguo Temple, why is there a general of Qingtang Zampu Jiaoluo?

If there is no plan, no conspiracy, then there is a problem.

Originally, the foreign minister wanted to find an opportunity to investigate again.

But I didn't expect that the four princes of your country and An Ziluo, the general of Qingtang Zanpu Jiaoluo, did not negotiate.

An Ziluo begged the minister.

Threatened to ask my Great Song Dynasty to send troops to help them Qingtang attack Western Xia together.

From the appeal he made to the ministers, it is not difficult to see that what he talked about with the four princes of your country in the Great Xiangguo Temple must also be this matter.

Just when the ministers were running around for An Ziluo's appeal.

An Ziluo suddenly found the foreign minister and said that he wanted to go back to Qingtang.

What did he send my Great Song Dynasty for?

In order to beg my Great Song Dynasty to send troops and help them attack Western Xia together.

But before his appeal was achieved, he was in a hurry to leave the Great Song Dynasty, which was obviously inconsistent with the purpose of his mission.

Before he reached his demands, he was in a hurry to leave my Great Song.

That illustrates a point.

Someone agreed to his request.

Then except for my Great Song, An Ziluo has only discussed this matter with your country.

Obviously, the decision of the four princes of your country has been reversed, and they have agreed to his request.

With your country helping, he naturally doesn't need to implore me to send troops from the Great Song Dynasty. ”

When Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu heard Kou Ji's words, he couldn't see any joy or anger on his face.

But when the officials of the Liao State heard this, they exploded.

Although this matter is not directly related to Yelu Angkor, it is indirectly related.

If it weren't for the fact that Yelu Angkor was not careful, he didn't seal the mouths of the Qingtang people in advance.

It is also impossible for Kou Ji to deduce from these clues that the Liao State wants to use troops against Western Xia.
