read_content_up; In the autumn of the third year of Xining, the weather was exceptionally fine, and the northern grasslands were still warm and comfortable, and there was no wind, frost and snow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is true of Hehuang, and the same is true of the Liao Kingdom north of Yanshan!

On the grassland outside the capital, the autumn grass has withered and yellowed, but the scenery on the grassland is beautiful. The yellow and clear grasslands are not visible at a glance, and there are occasional rivers or lakes, reflecting the blue sky, like the eyes of a beauty, light and moving.

The grasslands are undoubtedly the most beautiful in this season, and at the same time a good time for hunting.

Yelu Hongji, the lord of Liao, is an idle person, how can he be willing to stay in Shangjing honestly and live up to this good time? Autumn bowl hunting is certainly indispensable.

It's just that the year before last, there was a rebellion of Xiao Hujian, which almost caused a catastrophe, and in the past two years, the most important thing in the Liao State was to stabilize the interior, and Yelu Hongji did not dare to leave Shangjing for a long time.

In this autumn, I couldn't hold it back, so I had to barely hunt in a bowl hundreds of miles away from Beijing! In this way, even if there is any major event, it can react as soon as possible to ensure the safety of Gyeonggi!

The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and a moment later the group returned to the camp, and a young man took the lead, turning over and jumping off his horse.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen years old, he has a handsome appearance, expensive clothes, and an extraordinary momentum. Behind him are many people, the stars are holding the moon, and the attitude is very respectful.

This young man is Ye Lujun, the prince of Liao, compared to two years ago in Liaodong, he has grown much taller, and his appearance has changed slightly. looks more powerful, more strong, although still a little childish, compared to the previous maturity and stability.

There is already more and more of a prince's demeanor, Yelu Jun's reputation in Liao has always been good, and Yelu Hongji always takes him with him every time he goes out.

This was the first time he had led a hunt on his own, and he had just returned to the camp, where his parents and ministers were waiting at the camp gate, looking forward to his return.

"Father, mother, I'm back!" Yelujun was in good spirits, and after a long hunt, he didn't have the slightest tiredness, and he seemed to be full of vitality.

"My son, how's the harvest?" Yelu Hongji looked at his son with a smile and asked in a deep voice.

"Father, please look at ......" Yelujun smiled smugly and pointed behind him. I saw that many Liao soldiers stepped forward, and one by one the prey was carried up. Roe deer, deer, rabbits, and birds are all very ordinary, and the most eye-catching of them is undoubtedly a large black bear.

A man stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is hunting today and has gained a lot, please check it out!" "The person who spoke was Yelu Yixin, the first favorite of the Liao lord, and he followed Yelu Jun to hunt together.

"Not bad, not bad!" With such a result in the first hunt, Yelu Hongji was still quite satisfied, and said with a smile: "The wine and meat have been prepared, let's enter the celebration!" ”

A large group of Khitans immediately shouted, and Yelujun was welcomed into the big tent like a dazzling star.

"Your Majesty, the prince is brave, the hunting command is appropriate, and the art of war is skillful, and he will definitely be able to lead our Daliao Iron Cavalry in the future and set foot in the Southern Dynasty!" The generals and officials of the Liao State had to flatter the prince, and some people said such a sentence coldly. Perhaps in the subconscious of the Khitans, the biggest dream was to lead their troops south and invade the Song Dynasty.

"That being said, the Southern Dynasty is not easy to fight, when Emperor Shengzong and the Empress Dowager Chengtian entered Lanzhou, they still fell short after all."

"Alas, at this time and that time, I don't want to say that the Liao soldiers are strong and strong. The key is that the people of the Song Dynasty are becoming weaker and weaker! ”

"yes!" Yelu Yixin smiled: "There is news that the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia have just clashed in the northwest. Western Xia took the Song Dynasty's Dashun City, and Gyeongju was defeated, and it seems that the Song Dynasty and several generals died. ”

"What? Liang Yi's sister and brother are restless again? Yelu Hongji asked in a deep voice, he had wholeheartedly devoted himself to Liao, and not long ago he accepted the canonization of the Song Dynasty, and now he turned against the Song Dynasty. What did the Tanguts really want to do? This is faster than changing the sky!

Yelu Yixin smiled: "Maybe that's the case, there is news from Princess Ling Jiemo that Liang Yibury personally went to Qingtang City. It was sent to Li Bingchang's sister, and it was said that she was going to marry the Tubo people. ”

Although Liao and Tibet do not directly border, Liao has always been concentrating on managing its relationship with the Tubo people. After all, Hehuang and Tibet could threaten both the Western Xia and Song dynasties. It's still a big benefit to be good friends with it.

It was supposed to be a celebration, but the topic involuntarily became a national event. Yelujun did not have any doubts or objections to this, but listened to it with relish.

His current sense of identity and responsibility has become stronger and stronger, as the prince of Liao, he will rule the most powerful country in the eastern part of the continent in the future. So, from now on, he has to learn these things very seriously, and it seems that he has learned them well.

Yelu Jun said in a deep voice: "Western Xia wants to marry Tubo, presumably the Song Dynasty will definitely not agree!" ”

"That's for sure, I heard that the Song Dynasty also sent an envoy to Hehuang!" Yelu Yixin pondered: "By the way, it is Lin Zhao who came to Daliao the year before last, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty asked this person to go to Tibet." ”

The mention of this name makes everyone have an impression. At that time, Lin Zhao was in Liaodong, which could be regarded as a performance, and Xiao Hujian's rebellion was quickly pacified, and Lin Zhao still made a great contribution. What's more, they saved the queen and princess in the end, and they are still the benefactors of the Liao Kingdom.

"Is that him?" Yelujun remembered that in order to show his gratitude, he also gave him a white horse horse. For Lin Zhao, he was very impressed.

While everyone was talking, they didn't notice that there were two people who were surprised when they heard the name "Lin Zhao", and their expressions changed a lot!

One is the little princess Yerutri, two years have passed, from a little girl to a big girl, but still a little girl.

However, the girls on the grassland seem to be more precocious, and their eyes are bright, and they are excited when they hear this name. It was he who saved himself two years ago, and the crappy calligraphy, but the graceful sentences, all made this little girl particularly fond of ......

There is another person with even more hot eyes, that is Queen Xiao Guanyin.

Hearing Lin Zhao's name, Xiao Guanyin was almost anti-she, looking around. Immediately, I learned that he had gone to Hehuang and sent an envoy to Tibet.

But this name has always echoed in my ears, and it has been difficult to calm down for a long time.

A dusty memory, or a beautiful memory that cannot be forgotten, comes to mind.

On that wonderful night by the Liao River, beside the bonfire, in order to save him, he condescended to his dignity and licked his back with his tongue to heal his wounds. I don't want him to take advantage of the danger of others in a daze, and then ...... himself

However, at the time, Xiao Guanyin didn't blame him. It's not for the sake of face, but there is a vague satisfaction, a satisfaction from the heart.

Her husband only knows about hunting, lacks care for her, and doesn't understand the rich feelings in his heart. The talented woman of Xing is not understood, she is very lonely.

At this time, Lin Zhao was able to understand her and give her enlightenment and warmth. This made Xiao Guanyin enjoy it very much, as for the inadvertent misunderstanding, ** moment, but it inadvertently brought her real happiness.

It was a beautiful misunderstanding that could never be spoken. Even in Pingri, Xiao Guanyin tried his best to shield it from life.

It's a secret, a great secret, and it must never be revealed.

When it comes to the comfort of life and death for oneself and one's clansmen, we must be cautious. Usually she doesn't even dare to think about it, after all, there is a ten year difference between them, and this inexplicable relationship is a bit shocking, even contrary to morality, so Xiao Guanyin doesn't dare to think about it.

But when Lin Zhao's name is mentioned, the kind of uncontrollable excitement will come to my heart, and the memories will hit like chao water, which is difficult to calm down for a long time.

Fortunately, the focus of today's RI is Yelujun, and no one thought that the queen would cheat, so no one paid attention to Xiao Guanyin at all, and he didn't think about it!

The discussion of the Liao monarchs and ministers over there continued, and Yelu Yixin said: "Maybe this is an opportunity to make some preparations for going south!" ”

Yelu Jun said disapprerovingly: "There are often conflicts between the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty, this is not strange, it is very common!" If a large-scale war breaks out, it may be an opportunity for us, but for now, we think we have to wait and see! ”

Although he was only fourteen years old, Yelujun said with a clear eye and a princely demeanor, and many ministers nodded their heads again and again.

Yelujun continued: "What's more, it's autumn now, the weather is sunny, and in a few days it will be winter, and the climate will be very cold. Whether it is the Song people or the Tangut people, who can hold on? ”

Everyone looked at him approvingly, and the prince's analysis seemed to be in place. I just don't know if it's my own opinion, or if I've listened to what others say.

Yelu Yixin suddenly felt a little dull on his face. Originally, he was the first favorite minister in Liao, and he had the final say on many things. It's a pity that as the crown prince Yelujun grows up, he will be vaguely threatened.

Especially in recent times, Yelujun has been patrolling everywhere and making trouble for him. This kind of public rejection of face is not uncommon......

Yelu Yixin slowly began to feel a little dissatisfied in his heart!

And Yelujun was a young man with a heart and a lot of interest, and he didn't pay attention to many things. Xiao Guanyin seemed to be paying attention, and when he was leaving, Lin Zhao seemed to have told him to be careful of Yi Xin. But after all, it has been two years, and Xiao Guanyin has forgotten about this matter to the clouds......

"Yes, so don't be in a hurry, let's wait and see how the Song Dynasty and Western Xia will face each other!" Yelu Hongji said: "After all, the two countries have an alliance, and they must not use force lightly......

"Yes!" It was still more effective for Yelu Hongji to speak, and there was suddenly no opposition in the big tent.

It was at this time, in the Qingtang City of Hehuang and Tubo, Lin Zhao took the Song Dynasty mission, just left the city, headed towards the east, and embarked on the way home...... (To be continued.) )
