Chapter 368: Ouyang Xiu was very arrogant
Yelu Hongji was defeated very badly, the loss of nearly 20,000 yuan has exceeded his limit, as a prince born with a golden spoon, before he was ten years old, Yelu Hongji began to be crowned with various titles, officials, and power...... People often ignore that this year's Yelu Hongji is only 24 years old, and Wang Ningan has only one, and he is not lucky to be in power, Yelu Hongji is under unimaginable pressure from ordinary people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The most unacceptable defeat, but suffered the most tragic blow to the head!
After escaping back to Liao, Yelu Hongji locked himself up and saw no one, and for a time, he thought of death, and perhaps only death could wash away the shame...... He didn't know how to face his father, how to face Yelu Chongyuan, and how to face his subjects, Yelu Hongji was very painful and entangled.
In this way, in the dark, tangled alive, I don't know how long it took, the door was pushed open, and a ray of sunlight shone in.
"Bastard! Who let you in......"
He looked up sharply and saw a haggard face, Yelu Zongzhen, his father, standing there, even a little shaky, Yelu Hongji secretly wiped away his tears. immediately ran over, hugged his father, and invited him to his position.
Yelu Zongzhen sat down and gasped for a while before raising his head, his eyes were already cloudy, and the outline of his son was already blurred.
"Sit down and talk to Daddy."
Yelu Hongji froze, didn't make any moves, and Yelu Zong really talked to himself.
"Inherited the unification at the age of 15 for my father, it has been 25 years, my father has no blessing of the ancestor, when he succeeded to the throne, there was the queen mother's auxiliary government, and his subordinates were able to produce many ministers, I was prosperous in Daliao, and the Quartet came to the court."
mentioned the Empress Dowager Xiao, as well as his father Liao Shengzong, Yelu Zong's true face of admiration, it is true that the Liao State at that time was extremely strong, defeated Zhao Er twice, the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and forced the Great Song Dynasty to accept the coin, various tribes, Tuhun, Tubo, Dangxiang, Goryeo...... All of them were subordinated to the Liao State, what is called the coming of all countries, what is the weather of the country, the Liao State at that time was really a mountain to look up to.
It's just that after Yelu Zongzhen succeeded to the throne, the Liao State began to decline, and he also tried, and twice the commanders attacked the Western Xia, but they were defeated by Li Yuanhao...... In the past few years, new changes have continued to appear in the Great Song Dynasty, and Yelu Zong is really worried, but he can't do anything about it.
In this battle, he suffered a fiasco, which made Yeluzong really panic.
He didn't put the blame on his son, let alone get angry, but just like an ordinary father, he earnestly taught his erring children.
"Han Taoists believe in Tai Chi, not for long-term prosperity, but for endless growth. You are the future master of Da Liao, and you must show the toughness of a wolf, the cunning of a fox, and the sharpness of an eagle...... As a father, I can rest assured that I will hand over the country to you! ”
Hearing his father's heart-to-heart words, Yelu Hongji couldn't hold back any longer, and he threw himself down in front of his father, crying bitterly.
"The child is not filial, he lost to the Great Song Dynasty, and he has no face to see people, and the child is only afraid that he will not be blessed to inherit the throne of Da Liao."
"Silly boy! You are your father's child, who can inherit the throne but you? ”
Yelu Zong really smiled bitterly, "Over the years, I have been learning from the Song people, from wearing clothes and hats to poems and songs...... I have learned all the blood and courage in my bones, but there is one thing that is also beneficial to learn from the Song people, that is, the father dies and the son succeeds, and the patriarchal law is as big as the sky! The inheritance of the throne from father to son, no one can reverse it! ”
Yelu Hongji raised his head and said stupidly: "Father, uncle, he ......"
"Don't be afraid!" Yeluzong touched his son's head lovingly.
"My father will find a way to discourage him."
It's good to have Daddy here!
Yelu Hongji was almost resurrected with full blood, but there was still one more trouble for his henchmen, that is, how to end the war with the Great Song Dynasty?
Seeing that his son was full of questions, Yelu Zong smiled and said: "Defeat is defeat, you must know to admit defeat." Han scholars often say that we should think twice, that is, to think about danger and retreat...... What do you mean? That is to say, to know the danger in front of you, to learn to avoid the danger, and then look carefully, ponder carefully, and find a way to defeat and deal with it, this is called thinking change! ”
I'm afraid that this is the most obedient time that Yelu Hongji has grown so big, and every word that my father said is engraved in my heart, and I dare not forget it.
Yelu Zong was indeed too tired, and after he spoke for a quarter of an hour, he was a little out of breath.
"My father has sent someone to make peace with the Great Song Dynasty, and soon a Song envoy will come to negotiate peace." Yelu Zong said: "This matter has been dealt with by your uncle, you should take a good look!" ”
……
Yelu Hongji was very unwilling, he still wanted to continue to fight with the Great Song Dynasty and wash away the shame, but Yelu Zongzhen categorically refused, in the face of an unfavorable gamble, only by stopping as soon as possible could he avoid greater losses.
Yelu Zongzhen is really familiar with the Han culture, and the Central Plains Dynasty has always been generous, and he will not suffer too much when he negotiates peace with them...... It's just that Yeluzong really forgot, this time his opponent is different.
Ouyang Xiu and Zhang Dun appeared on the land of Liao under the protection of 200 cavalry...... Stepping on the vast field and looking at the desolate and distant land, Zhang Dun's heart suddenly tightened.
What a majestic earth, what a magnificent territory!
As if fascinated, he stared at every mountain peak, at every river...... Ouyang Xiu noticed his expression, grabbed his beard, and asked with a smile, "Do you like it?" ”
"Hmmm! The grandson doesn't like it! ”
Zhang Dun took a sip fiercely, "Yanyun will return to this life!" ”
"Good ambition!" Ouyang Xiu said loudly: "The old man went to Liao State back then, and he also had this idea, after going back, the old man, Fan Xiwen, and Fu Yanguo worked together to promote the Qingli New Deal, thinking about enriching the country and strengthening the army, but unfortunately it fell short...... Old friends from the past also parted ways. ”
"No, we won't!" Zhang Dun suddenly said proudly: "Drunkard, we have found the key to recovering Yanyun, we will not repeat the mistakes of the past!" ”
"Really? So what's the key? Ouyang Xiu said with a smile.
Zhang Dunzhi was full of pride and spit out four words, "The unity of knowledge and action!" ”
It's useless to just talk about restoring Yanyun, there must be a way and action, for so many years, since Mr. Wang dropped the first chess piece, countless people have paid hard work for this treasure land.
Although there is still a long way to go before it can really be regained, Zhang Dun has already seen the light of hope!
They rode their horses and galloped all the way to Youzhou.
In order to welcome the arrival of the Song envoys, Yelu Chongyuan sent his son Nerugu out of the city to greet him.
In the face of the welcoming team, Zhang Dun was very dissatisfied! He rushed ahead of Ouyang Xiu and stopped Nerugu.
"The minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu, the right counselor in the imperial history, came by the emperor's order, where is Yelu Chongyuan, the king of Yan Zhao?" Zhang Dun was tall and full of temperament, and he could hear every word clearly.
Nerugu's face was very bad, he held back his anger, urged the horse over, and said with a smile: "Father has already set up a banquet, by the way, Lord Liu and Lord Lu of your country are also waiting in the city, please Lord Ouyang come over as soon as possible!" ”
"Humph! Ouyang Lao was sent as an envoy to the Great Song Emperor, and he came from afar, Yelu Chongyuan, as a peace negotiator of the Liao Lord's order, should come out to greet him, is he used to being an uncle, and he doesn't know who wins and who loses? ”
"You!"
Nerugu's eyes widened and he was breathing heavily.
The sky is pitiful, he is a little prince who personally greeted him, and he has already given Song Envoy Tian a big face, and the last time Zhao Zongjing, as the king of the county, came to Liao, it was just him who greeted him.
This time, Ouyang Xiu actually let his father come out to greet him, this Da Song is too deceitful, right?
Seeing that the people of Liao were angry one by one, eager to eat their own appearance, Zhang Dun didn't mention how comfortable he was, this is the feeling of a strong country!
I like your little expression when you look at me unpleasantly, and you make fun of me!
Zhang Dun is so grateful to Wang Ning'an, the work he arranged for himself is too suitable! For the sake of the face of this trip to Liao, the last time I went to the Wa Kingdom, it disappeared, and I forgive Wang Ning'an!
"Why, you don't even want to greet you? Tell you, if you don't welcome the angels, wait for the heavenly soldiers! ”
Zhang Dun threw down a sentence, turned around and left, and halfway through, he turned around and came back.
"Tell you, just wait for an hour, and if it expires, we will go home immediately!"
After Zhang Dun finished speaking, he turned his horse and left.
When he returned to the team, Ouyang Xiu smiled unscrupulously and refreshed, it was so refreshing!
In the past, the Song envoys went to the Liao Kingdom, but they were made difficult in every way, and the Liao envoys went to the Great Song Dynasty, but they had to be entertained well, for fear of making a mistake...... Now that feng shui is taking turns, it is finally time for Da Song to raise his eyebrows.
Ouyang Xiu's playfulness actually came up, and asked people to move out a recliner, he leaned on it, shook a fan, pointed out, and looked poetic, he actually asked for a pen and paper, and splashed ink on the spot. In the blink of an eye, three poems were written.
Zhang Dun stood next to him and applauded.
"The drunkard's treasure knife is not old, it is really gratifying!"
Ouyang Xiu was unhappy, "Is the old man old?" ”
"Not old, not old at all!" Zhang Dun said with a smile: "These masterpieces of the drunkard are going to be given to the students, and I am going to go back and hang them at home, so that they will all envy them!" ”
Ouyang Xiu grabbed his beard and said with a smile: "The old man will send you another article "Envoy to Liao Guofu". ”
"Students can't ask for it."
They were having a good time, but they forgot that someone's face was black, and Nelugu sent someone to invite Yelu Chongyuan out, and this imperial brother, King Yan Zhao, was actually left aside.
God is pitiful, when did the No. 2 person in Liao receive this kind of treatment!
Yelu Chongyuan was so angry that he only had scolding in his heart, Yelu Hongji, this little bastard, if you win, why is Lao Tzu so shameless...... But after thinking about it, Yelu Chongyuan was secretly glad again, and thanks to Yelu Hongji's defeat, he had the hope of winning the heir, only if he could negotiate peace smoothly, he was the hero of the Liao Dynasty, and in order to compete for the throne, he added a heavy bargaining chip.
Thinking of this, Yelu Chongyuan greeted him with a smile.
"Xiao Wang is waiting for the Song envoy."
After shouting three times in a row, Ouyang Xiucai threw the pen to his subordinates, got on the war horse with a smile, came to the opposite side of Yelu Chongyuan, and arched his hand at him.
"Lord Wang, you may not be angry in your heart, but the old man wants to ask, if you win, will you be as polite as the old man? So, there's a difference between civilization and barbarism, you won't deny it, right? ”
