Chapter 151: Regent Han Derang

There is a backyard in Huiweizhai, there are two rows of wings in the backyard, in addition to storing some things, you can also live in people, usually Huozi and Ugly Niang when they are busy and can't go home, they will also live here, of course, everyone is busy in the restaurant during the day, so there is no one in the wing room now, and after Li Zhang pushed the door in, that Yan Niang also followed him in.

"Tell me, why did you flee to our restaurant?" Li Zhang casually found a chair to sit down, this is Huozi's room, very simple, in addition to a bed, there are only two chairs and a table, there are unfinished account books on the table, as well as a few bites of snacks, etc., the ground is also full of garbage, after all, a single boy's room is basically not too clean.

"I ...... I'm ...... traffickers."

Yan Niang said again with a flickering gaze at this time, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Li Zhang: "Don't lie in front of me, in the past few days, the imperial court has turned over almost the entire city of Tokyo in order to find you, and Yelu Yanshou has been clamoring to return to Liao, if he really goes back, I am afraid that the conflict between Liao and Song will also break out because of this, and all this is because of you!" ”

"I ...... I don't understand what you're talking about, and I don't know what Jeruh prolongs his life! Yan Niang was still stubborn at this time, but her eyes didn't dare to look at Li Zhang from the beginning, which also strengthened Li Zhang's speculation.

"I don't understand, right, then come with me and hand you over, so as not to threaten our Great Song with this matter again!" Li Zhang said and grabbed the other party's arm, and then forcibly pulled her to go out.

Yan Niang was also taken aback by Li Zhang, and was reluctant to leave at the moment, which was also a shame, Li Zhang's height was about the same as the other party, but she didn't expect that this Yan Niang's strength was not small, and Li Zhang couldn't drag the other party at all.

"If you don't leave, then I'll go and call Yelu Yanshou to see how long you can be hard-mouthed!" Li Zhang said as he shook off the other party's arm, and then turned around to go out.

"Don't!" Yan Niang finally couldn't help but step forward and grab Li Zhang's clothes and begged, "I admit that I am the princess of Liao, but please don't hand me over, otherwise I will die!" ”

"Dead?" Li Zhang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Yan Niang's words, and then turned to look at her with a surprised face and said, "What do you mean by this, aren't you going to kiss, how can you die?" ”

"Hehe, you must not be deceived by Yelu Yanshou, he will not be willing to send me to Da Shi, and even he doesn't want to leave Liao at all, but he was forced to be helpless, so he served as the envoy of this send-off, but I overheard a few days ago that he actually wanted to kill me halfway, so that he didn't have to go to Da Shi again, and this time I ran away, I'm afraid it was exactly what he wanted!" When Yan Niang said the end, she couldn't help but show a little sneer on her face.

"What do you mean, how dare Yelu Yanshou kill you, and he is an envoy, if you really die, I'm afraid he won't want to live when he goes back, right?" Li Zhang became more and more confused the more he listened, and asked again puzzled.

"It seems that you don't know the background of Yelu's longevity, with his identity, as long as it is not a felony of rebellion, absolutely no one will dare to kill him, even if he kills me, a princess, I am afraid that he will only be demoted, and it will be reactivated in a few years, after all, I am not a real princess, just a woman from the side branch of the royal family, if I die, I will die, I am afraid that even my father and mother will not care."

Yan Niang also showed a somewhat sarcastic smile on her face as she spoke, she was actually about the same age as Li Zhang, and she was also favored at home before, but when the matter of harmony was decided, her parents chose to sacrifice her for the benefit of the family, which made her despair of family affection.

"What kind of background does Yelu have to prolong his life, so that he can even kill the princess who is close to him with impunity?" Li Zhang couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard this.

"Hehe, Han De let you Song people definitely know, right?" Yan Niang asked again at this time.

"Of course you know, isn't he your old lover of the Empress Dowager Xiao?" Li Zhang immediately nodded and said, those who have read the Yang family generals will definitely not be unfamiliar with Han Derang, when the Empress Dowager Xiao sent troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty several times, and finally forced Zhao Heng to sign the Yuanyuan Alliance with the Liao State, and Han Derang is the lover of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and he is also the most important assistant of the Empress Dowager Xiao to control the government, and even became the regent of the Liao State for a time, just like Dolgon of the Qing Dynasty in later generations.

Speaking of Han Derang's experience, it is also full of legends, he is a Han, his grandfather was once a slave captured by the Liao State, but he achieved the position of Zhongshu Ling with his own ability, and his father was crowned king, which is a miracle for a Han family.

Han Derang was better than his grandfather and father, and became a popular figure among the young nobles of Liao at a young age, and was engaged to the Empress Dowager Xiao, who was still a girl at the time, but unfortunately the Empress Dowager Xiao was later summoned into the palace as a concubine, and later became the queen, and the husband of the Empress Dowager Xiao, Liao Jingzong, died early, and Han Derang also became the head of Hanchen at that time, so the old lovers rekindled.

It is recorded in the history books that Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Derang ate at the same table, slept and lay together, and even Empress Dowager Xiao officially remarried Han Derang, which is allowed in Khitan customs, even the son of Empress Dowager Xiao, that is, now the Empress of Liao, Yelu Longxu, also recognizes Han Derang as her father, and Empress Dowager Xiao's feelings for Han Derang are also very deep, it is said that once Han Derang played polo with someone, and as a result, a nobleman deliberately hit Han Derang, and was directly ordered to be executed by Empress Dowager Xiao afterwards.

Later, after the death of Empress Dowager Xiao, Han Derang also fell ill due to excessive grief, and Yelu Longxu did his filial piety in front of Han Derang's bed, and even fed him medicine and food in person, which was even closer than his own son. After Han Derang's death, he was also posthumously presented as a Shangshu order, "Wenzhong", the official gave burial tools, built a temple on the side of the Qianling, and he was also the only Han and courtier buried in the imperial tomb in the history of Liao.

"What is a lover, Han Derang is the husband of the Empress Dowager Xiao, it's just that you Song people are pedantic, ordinary women can remarry, why can't the Empress Dowager remarry?" Hearing Li Zhang's name for Han Derang, Yan Niang retorted with some dissatisfaction at the moment, although Han Derang has been dead for almost ten years, he still has great prestige in Liao, and many girls also admire the love between him and Empress Dowager Xiao, and Yan Niang is no exception.

"Whether it's a lover or a husband, but what does Yelu Yanshou have to do with Han Derang?" Li Zhang asked curiously again at the moment.

"Of course it matters, Yelu Yanshou is Han Derang's son, with his family background, as long as he doesn't rebel, who would dare to kill him?" Yan Niang opened her mouth again to explain.

"No, isn't Han Derang's surname Han, why is his son's surname Yelu? Also, I remember that Han Derang doesn't seem to have a son, right? Li Zhang frowned again at this time and asked rhetorically.
