Chapter 266: The Emperor's Promise

In front of the tomb of Emperor Zhaowu, a glass of wine was slowly sprinkled to the ground. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the breeze blows, the leaves sway with the wind, and a trace of sadness emerges from the bottom of my heart.

Liu Sheng raised his head and looked up at the majestic emperor's mausoleum, the scenes of the past came to mind, his eyes were slightly closed, and a trace of tears slipped down his cheeks.

Yang Yong held a jar of wine in one hand and walked from the side. Seeing that Liu Sheng was suddenly stunned, he was immediately relieved, and handed a stall of wine in his hand to him: "It's been five years, it's rare to get together again, isn't it the two of us, here with Your Majesty, have a good chat, and by the way, catch up with the old days."

"When His Majesty dies, you will be by his side." Liu Sheng heard the familiar voice, opened his eyes, subconsciously wiped his tears with his hands, took the wine jar, and barely squeezed out a smile.

Yang Yong nodded, opened the other jar of wine in his hand, and began to pour it into his mouth.

Liu Sheng looked at Yang Yong, who was pouring wine violently, and waited for him to finish drinking: "Can you tell me, the situation at that time?" I want to know what Your Majesty experienced in the last period of this world."

"Actually, Your Majesty could, you didn't have to do it, but ......." Yang Yong finished drinking the wine in his hand, and when he just wanted to fall hard, he reflected that this was Chai Yu's mausoleum, and then squatted down and put the wine jar on the ground. looked at Liu Sheng, who was squatting next to him, and told everything that happened when Liao went south until Chai Yu died.

Liu Sheng was silent, just staring at the mausoleum quietly and silently for a long time. Chai Yu's dying words echoed in his mind over and over again.

"After this battle, Liao was powerless to invade my Great Zhou. Western Xia, Tubo, and Jiaozhi are all greatly damaged, and the Quartet is peaceful, and our dynasty can be peaceful for at least several decades. At this time, I was about to die, and Jun'er was too young to fear that her mother would take power. You must invite Liu Sheng out and let him enter the court. At that time, the wealthy family, the poor family, and the Admiral's Mansion will definitely contribute, and then the situation can be stabilized in one fell swoop, and my emperor will have no worries."

"And tell him that I broke my promise...... Ask him to read above our affection and fulfill our vows."

"As for the emperor, after you go back, tell him not to hold a grudge against Liao. On the battlefield, life and death are fateful, and it is a common thing...... We must not anger the Liao State, we must know that the peace of our Great Zhou is not easy to come by......".

"Sailor? Liu Sheng: It seems that you have finally decided to enter the court. It's a pity that I'm not ......."

Yang Yong looked at Liu Sheng and watched the emperor's tomb silently, thinking of Chai Yu's years, he sighed: "Western Xia State, Xia Prefecture is in danger. The first emperor died violently, the treasury had no money, and the flood had just passed. When His Majesty ascended the throne, it was very difficult. After that, Wang An was enabled to change the law to become stronger. However, when the new law was first implemented, the people were puzzled and became poorer day by day. I believe that you have planned in many ways, built good halls, and prospered commerce, so that the people have some way to live, and the treasury has gradually begun to surplus. In a flash of two years, Sima Zhao was demoted, but Sister Kexin was a nun, but you said goodbye to Your Majesty and returned to the village to establish the Shenji Battalion and the Admiral's Mansion. The imperial court was rich and the army was growing stronger. However, the world suddenly changed, and the four countries came to attack. Counting these things, Your Majesty's reign of seven years will be comfortable for one day."

"Yang Yong, do you know who I met when I came there." Liu Sheng had all the flavors in his heart, looked at the imperial tomb in front of him, and was not in a hurry to answer, but diverted the topic.

Seeing that Liu Sheng didn't answer, Yang Yong frowned slightly and pondered: "In addition to going to Ningxin'an to see Sister Kexin, you can also go there to ......."

"I went to Ningxin'an, and I also saw Kexin and Pothos. She scolded me, saying that I was a liar, not only to others, but also to myself. So I kept asking myself in front of His Majesty's mausoleum, if I Liu Sheng had been in Luoyang and by His Majesty's side all those years, would such a thing still happen? It's a pity that in this world, there are no ifs." Liu Sheng picked up the previous glass of wine, spilled it to the ground, picked up another glass of wine, and drank it himself. The bitterness in the mouth flowed into the heart with the wine.

Yang Yong sighed, didn't speak, thinking of Chai Yu's deathbed entrustment, he looked at Liu Sheng with a straight face: "Before Your Majesty dies, let you enter the court and help him complete the old agreement, are you willing to ......."

"Your Majesty reigned for seven years, went through many hardships, and used his life to exchange for decades of rare peace for the court and my Great Zhou. I, Liu Sheng, make an oath here. devoted his life, assisted Jun'er, created the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and left an indelible chapter in history, so that His Majesty's name and this prosperous era will be firmly rooted in the hearts of future generations." Liu Sheng swore an oath to the sky, and then bowed three times.

Yang Yong looked at Liu Sheng, who was kneeling, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, picked up a jar of wine, and sprinkled it all on the ground: "Your Majesty, the person you have in mind has made a vow, and you can rest in peace."

"Yang Yong in front of His Majesty, I will ask you. I'm prime minister, ten years later. It will take back Xia Prefecture and let you move somewhere else, do you want." Liu Sheng turned his head, looked at Yang Yong, and asked with a serious face.

Yang Yong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, Xiazhou, for the recovery of Xiazhou, the Yang family has long been prepared, but it is a pity that the court was powerless at the beginning, and faced the pressure of the Liao State and the Western Regions countries alone, and had to acquiesce in Xiazhou becoming the territory of the Yang family: "If the imperial court has confidence and faces Liao and Western Xia alone, then it is necessary to take back Xiazhou." As for the migration, you and but, let's go where ......".

"I want to let you Yang family move overseas after ten years. There is a vast land overseas, which can be conquered by you, and you can establish a vassal state of my Great Zhou. When the time comes, please warn your children and grandchildren not to forget their roots......." Liu Sheng informed Yang Yong of the arrangements for the Yang family one by one, and waited for his reply.

Yang Yong nodded, if there really was such a vast land, it would be a blessing rather than a curse for the Yang family: "Yes, ten years later, I will lead my clansmen to the overseas land you said."

Liu Sheng nodded, and the two chatted for a while in front of the imperial tomb, the sun gradually set in the west, and an afternoon passed here unconsciously.

The two walked out side by side, reluctantly looking back from time to time to look at the imperial mausoleum behind them.

Outside the emperor's mausoleum, the black pressed a group of people, and there were thousands of them. Looking at their costumes, there are merchants, men, low-ranking officials, teachers, soldiers, farmers......

Liu Sheng and Yang Yong came from afar from the emperor's mausoleum.

Suddenly, there was a cheer from the crowd, and Qi Shushu fell to his knees: "Son of Shantang, I have seen Mr. ......."

"Although the church of goodness began with me, it is not owned by me alone, but is a place of waiting. I don't deserve you such a great gift." Yang Yong was stunned, and Liu Sheng bowed to the crowd, his heart full of emotion.

"If it weren't for the good church, we would have become dry bones and bow down, which should have been."

"The establishment of the good hall has been seven years, and there are countless living people, and we are waiting for this gift is not enough to repay Mr. for his great kindness."

"The grace of life, the grace of nurturing, even if you are broken bones, it is difficult to repay it."

"I heard that Mr. has returned and wants to enter the court, even though we are slight, we are also willing to give everything we have to add some prestige to Mr."

"Tomorrow's dynasty, all officials in Beijing, no matter how big or small, can enter the palace. Since Mr. is going, I just don't want to be this face, so what's the harm in going to that palace."

“……“

Gratitude came to his face, Liu Sheng hurriedly walked over and helped each other one by one: "Get up, if you feel that I still have some favors for you, please get up and leave quickly." As for my entry into the court, you must not worry about it, you must know that when you face life, the things in your hands are the most important. As for the rest, just wait for news."

"This ...... Mr...... Sir must be tired all the way, we must not delay Mr.'s rest, it is better to listen to Mr., and spread out at this time."

"This is reasonable, since Mr. is going to enter the court, he may stay in Luoyang. We just want to thank you in person, and we are not in a hurry at this moment."

Thousands of people looked at each other, and the people standing in front hesitated for a moment, then turned around, picked up the people behind, and scattered them all. (To be continued.) )
