Xiao Fengxian came in ecstasy, these days, because he presided over the pro-conquest, so Yelu Yanxi obviously neglected him, and finally had good news, he didn't take a closer look, so he couldn't wait to report it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But when he saw Yelu Yanxi weeping on the throne, his heart sank.

"Your Majesty, why should you be like this, there is a letter of great joy!" He stepped forward and saluted.

"It's all in this situation, what's the happy event, at this time in previous years, I had to prepare for winter hunting, but now, but now it's ......"

"Your Majesty can also prepare for winter hunting." Xiao Fengxian wished that Yelu Yanxi would concentrate on field hunting, so that he could control the country's affairs, so he opened his mouth to speak.

"Internal and external troubles, how can I still be at ease for winter hunting, Xiao Fengxian, you dog thief!" Yelu Yanxi thought of this slander, so he recalled Yu Liyan, causing Yu Liyan to die without knowing it, even if he survived, it was very likely to fall into the hands of the Jurchens, and he would not be angry.

"Your Majesty, the internal worries have been removed, and I just got the Jinzhou emergency report, Asa and the sorcerer were all killed by Yelu Dashi, and the letter has been sent, and the messenger is outside the imperial tent!" Hearing Yelu Yanxi's scolding, Xiao Fengxian didn't dare to delay and was busy reporting.

"What, Asa and the Sorcer...... Is it really the first to be awarded? Yelu Yanxi was still angry just now, and he was stunned at the moment.

"Where do the ministers dare to deceive Your Majesty, whether it is true or not, Your Majesty will know when you summon the envoy in."

"Yes, yes, spread the messenger from Jinzhou, pass it quickly!" Yelu Yanxi stood up from the throne excitedly: "Summoning hundreds of officials, summoning ministers, summoning all accounts!" ”

Originally, he drove away all the officials of the north and south courts, and hid in the imperial tent alone and wept, but when he heard the good news, he immediately summoned them.

It's not to share happiness with them, but to prove to them that he is not a dumb emperor, and the destiny of heaven is still in him!

After a while, all the officials arrived, and the envoy of Jinzhou was also announced to the palace.

In the two wooden boxes, the heads of Jerod and Jerodasa were pickled in lime, and although they were hideously twisted, they were still obvious.

At this time, Yelu Yanxi was already reading the chapter, looking at the content on it, his face was changing, as if he was happy and worried, and after reading it several times, he took a long breath.

"Your Majesty, what does the Jeroda Stone Sutra say?" Xiao Fengxian asked.

Yelu Yanxi gave the music to one of his attendants and asked him to read it to the people. The first part tells how the sorcerer and Asa colluded to rebel and put him under house arrest, and then mentions that because he was shocked by Zhou Quan's defeat of the Jurchens, the sorcerer turned against Asa and gave him an opportunity to encourage the guards to let go of themselves, and then kill Asa and the sorcerer. Because there are still a large number of two people in the city, it is really a crime to fail to capture the two and send them to Shangjing Lingchi.

After that, everyone didn't care, what they cared about was Zhou Quan's defeat of the Jurchens.

The second part is to talk about this matter, Yelu Dashi mentioned that the princess of Shu retreated to Shenzhou, Zhou Quan waved his army to help, first broke the Liaoyang city of Gao Yongchang, beheaded his head in the city, and defeated the Jurchen prince on the bank of the Liao River, it is reported that the book was seriously injured and dying.

"I see......"

"No wonder the Jurchen rebels retreated, but it was their prince who was killed by Zhou Quan!"

The officials of the North and South Houses buzzed and discussed, and then fell silent at the same time.

Everyone felt very embarrassed, the Liao State has a vast staff and a lot of talents, but it is a Song person who turns the tide and becomes the mainstay in times of crisis!

"Jerod stone should be rewarded!" After a long while, someone said loudly.

"Exactly, deserve the reward, deserve the reward!"

"He was originally a member of the Hanlin Academy, and he could be added to the official as a decree."

"Such a great achievement, when the exception is promoted!"

There was a noisy voice, and the Khitans, intentionally or unintentionally, ignored Zhou Quan's affairs.

First, Zhou Quan is a Song person, and secondly, it is related to the princess of Shu Kingdom, after all, this is a private matter of the heavenly family, a matter of the royal family, and others are not good at being wordy.

However, Yelu Yanxi himself didn't realize this, he frowned and said: "Zhou Quan wants to exchange Tokyo Road for Nanjing, what do you think?" ”

"Impossible, although Zhou Quan has some credit, he can't hand over Nanjing Dao to him!"

"Exactly, he served my Great Liao, but it was the good minister who chose the master to do it, and handed over the Nanjing Road to the Song State, what credit does the Song State have, how can this be justified!"

After everyone calmed down, Xiao Fengxian said again: "Isn't it natural for a son-in-law to serve his father-in-law, at most the marriage is richer!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

Yelu Yanxi's eyes lit up, if Yu Liyan married Zhou Quan, he could get a place in Tokyo and get a talent like Zhou Quan, it would not be bad.

In fact, Yelu Dashi gave Yelu Yanxi a secret letter, suggesting that Yelu Yanxi take this opportunity to recruit Zhou Quan and must leave it in Liao.

"If you can get it, Your Majesty can get a good son-in-law, the country can get a pillar, and the enemy country can subtract a sage, then the society will be very lucky!"

This is the original words of Yelu Dashi, and Yelu Yanxi deeply thinks so. He smiled and nodded to Xiao Fengxian: "What the privy envoy said is very true, but I am afraid that Zhou Quan is unwilling to stay in our country, what are your plans?" ”

"This matter is easy to hear, and he will go to the Great Song Dynasty to show off his achievements, and I expect that the emperor of the Song Kingdom will be suspicious." Xiao Fengxian said again.

Among the officials, Yelu Yu, who was the general of Jin Wuwei and the commander of the Eastern Road, frowned tightly and felt that something seemed wrong.

He is Yu Liyan's uncle, and he has always been at odds with Xiao Fengxian, and the two sides have been fighting for a long time in order to help his nephew and nephew become the prince. Xiao Fengxian is now so eager to push Yu Liyan to marry Zhou Quan, doesn't that mean that Yu Liyan can fight for a strong reinforcement for his half-brother, which is not in Xiao Fengxian's interests at all!

It's just that in a hurry, Yu Jian couldn't figure out what Xiao Fengxian's idea was.

In any case, sending envoys to the Song Kingdom to boast about Zhou Quan's merits was always beneficial to the Great Liao. The candidate for the messenger was soon decided: Jerodashi!

He is the main envoy, and when he goes to the Song State, he can be promoted because of the envoy's merit and grace when he comes back, and he can directly enter the highest level of the Liao State.

After receiving Yelu Yanxi's will, Yelu Dashi did not dare to slack off, and immediately started to act, but in just ten days, he had already arrived at Baigou Station, which is now Yucheng.

After another 20 days, he arrived at Bianjing, the division of the Great Song Dynasty.

When he entered the Beijing Division, he could hear the sound of firecrackers everywhere, and Yelu Dashi exclaimed: "Is this any joy for your country?" ”

The accompanying embassy envoy smiled and said: "The country punishes the western thieves and hangs the people for the crime, and it has been Keling Prefecture!" ”

Yelu gasped with a sigh of cold air, and his face was full of mistakes.

Between Song and Xia, there have been a hundred years of entanglement on the border between the two sides, and in the past ten years, it has been the main attack of Song and the main defense of Xia, but once Xia can not support it, he will go to ask Liao for help.

Under the pressure of the Liao State, although the Song State had gained a lot of practical advantages on the border, it had not achieved decisive results.

This time, when the Liao State was busy with the conquest of the Jurchens, the Song finally raised the strength of the Western Army, and at the same time mobilized part of the Hedong and Hebei forbidden armies to capture Lingzhou, that is, Xiping Mansion in Western Xia!

This is a decisive victory, the capture of this place, from the Western Xia capital Xingqing straight line distance is less than two hundred miles, the military force, if the Western Xia can not quickly recapture, can only move the capital to avoid the edge.

This is not good news for Da Liao!

Not to mention that now King Xia is the son-in-law of Liao, just the fact that Song defeated Xia and Liao defeated Jin is enough to reverse the military strength comparison and people's morale between the two countries. Moreover, if the Song could quickly wipe out the Western Xia, then the famous Western Army of the Song State would be free to deal with the Liao.

Therefore, after being surprised, Yelu Dashi's face was gloomy.

On the day he came, the news of Lingzhou's victory came, and Yelu Dashi didn't believe it was a coincidence.

"I don't know when the Son of Heaven of your country will be able to see the foreign ministers?" He asked.

"I don't know about this matter, after the new victory, the government affairs are cumbersome, and the officials can be empty, and the non-subordinate officials can know." The pavilion companion laughed, looking quite proud.

Yelu Dashi snorted, where would he not know, this is actually a demonstration of the Song Kingdom.

Obviously, seeing that the destruction of the Western Xia was imminent, the Song Dynasty was no longer so respectful to the Liao State.

"Xia I am the son-in-law of the country, and your country has been friends for many years, this time your country is good at swords, it is the misfortune of the people, my Majesty heard about this, sent me to persuade peace, now my Majesty is preparing for winter hunting, maybe in the spring of the next year, will come to the border between the two countries, for Song Xia to promote peace, this matter is important, please also ask your envoy to return to your country as soon as possible!"

Yelu Dashi was anxious in his heart, but he was extremely tough on his face, and even threatened the Liao lord with his own conquest. In the usual way, the embassy envoy of the Song Kingdom was afraid that he would immediately change color in shock, but this time, the pavilion envoy of the Song Kingdom looked at Yelu Dashi with an idiot look.

"Why, don't you believe it?"

"I heard that the emperor of your country drove a personal expedition, hunted in the east on the bank of the Tongtong River, and was humiliated by the Jurchens, I thought that the emperor of your country would work hard to seek shame, but I never thought that he still had the strength to take care of my affairs in the Great Song Dynasty." The embassy companion said.

Yelu Dashi was suddenly embarrassed, he knew that the Song State must have spies in Liao, but he guessed that the news of the new defeat of the Liao Lord did not reach the Song State so quickly.

But he never thought that the monarchs and ministers of the Song State already knew everything about it, and it was obviously impossible for the envoy to force the Song State to withdraw its troops from Xia this time.

Fortunately, his original purpose was not this, but to divide the relationship between Zhao Ji and Zhou Quan.

Therefore, after a moment of silence, he said "sincerely": "It is precisely for this reason that my country wants to discuss with your country, and I also ask your envoy to make timely arrangements for the sake of the friendship between the two countries, so that I can pay a visit to Your Majesty and deliver my credentials as soon as possible." ”

The envoy of the pavilion should have done this, but Yelu Dashi knew that his own truth was known to the Great Song Dynasty, and he was worried, just afraid that the other party would not see him for a long time.

But he never thought that in the afternoon, the embassy companion came back with a spring breeze on his face, but it was Zhao Ji who responded to his request, and he could be seen the next day. Yelu Dashi was overjoyed in his heart, and sorted out the rhetoric of how to separate Zhao Ji and Zhou Quan in his heart, and got up early the next morning to bathe and change clothes, and came to Yanshou Palace with his companion.

It's just that when he saw Zhao Ji, he saw a person beside Zhao Ji, and Yelu Dashi was surprised: "Why are you here?" (To be continued.) )
