Chapter 141: Suspicious Liao Family Letter
On this day, a baby's cry came from Meyer's house, and the small courtyard immediately boiled, and Tong Xiao ran to the study next to the king, who was looking at a pile of account books, and the moon was tilting his head sideways, grinding and watching with the king,
"Dad, mother, I have a younger brother." Tong Xiao jumped in front of the moon,
Yuexia smiled and patted his head lightly: "Tong Xiao is almost ten years old, and he still runs around like this, didn't we say that we must have rules in the future." Tong Xiao smiled, revealing a little scoundrel look,
When Wang Jian heard this, he knew that he was also happy for He Libo in his heart, so he got up and pulled Yuexia and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
In the small courtyard where He Libo was located in the Meyer Mansion, there were a lot of people coming, He Libo was surrounded by the people in the house, listening to everyone's congratulations, hehe smirked, everyone saw that the king and the moon were coming, and they all got out of the way, and the king came to He Libo and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you smiling at?" Yuexia also took out the congratulatory gifts prepared in advance,
Tong Xiao shouted to go in to see, but was dragged by the rouge tiger: "Don't go, you can see it in two days." Tong Xiao couldn't help pursing his lips, and ran to Wang Bian and Yuexia unhappily, grinding and saying: "Mother, you also give birth to a little brother soon, it's inconvenient for other people's families to see." Yuexia was blushed by Tong Xiao's words, and everyone laughed when they heard it.
was laughing, a family member handed He Libo a letter, He Libo immediately opened it, looked at his brows twisted together, the smile on his face disappeared, the people around him were still immersed in joy, He Libo left the small courtyard and quietly came to the garden, sitting in the gazebo in a daze,
He Libo can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from the king, he asked Xiaolu under the moon to prepare to celebrate in the house, he followed He Libo out of the courtyard, found the garden and saw He Libo sitting on the flower stand of the pavilion, with his back against the pavilion, and the king walked close to him He was still in a daze.
Wang saw that his expression was not right, and thought to himself, this He Li bowl is usually thick and fine, and the coal yard business is also well organized, and today he is happy with his noble son, what made him so unhappy, he coughed and reminded He Li Bowl, and then sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion,
He Libo hurriedly got up, and the king said: "Big brother doesn't have to be like this, there are no outsiders in the house, and you and my brother haven't gossiped together for a long time. ”
He Libo looked around, although there are many people in and out of this house, but this garden is still relatively secluded, and the pavilion is in the middle of the lotus pond, even if people come from the garden, they may not be able to hear what they are saying.
He hesitated for a moment, the letter just now was a letter from home, but after thinking about it, Wang Bian and himself were like brothers, and he could be taken care of by the king today, and this matter was related to whether he wanted to return to Liao, so he took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Wang: "Brother, read it yourself." ”
The letter said: Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liao, did not really carry out reforms and renewals, and he himself was corrupt and extravagant, the landlords and bureaucrats sharply annexed the land, the people were miserable, and there were many complaints.
Yelu Hongji also summoned the leaders of the Jurchen tribes to the court, ordered the leaders to offer tribute, and humiliated the leaders to let the Jurchen leaders dance for the court, everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, now the emperor's uncle Yelu Zongyuan is recruiting troops and horses in Liaoyang Mansion, the capital of Liaoyang, preparing to take the lead in rebellion, and the impeacher of Wanyan is a general under Yelu Zongyuan, and now the letter invites Wanyan He Libo to return to Liao, and the brothers work together to create a great cause,
He Libo saw that the king was silent when he saw the letter, and thought that the king was reluctant to go by himself, so he sighed and said: "Even if I want to go, it will take a while to settle the coal yard, and besides, my mother has just given birth, even if I go, I have to settle their mother and son." ”
The king listened to He Libo's words, knowing that he wanted to go, but he was embarrassed by the current matter, he was silent for a long time, not reluctant to He Libo, after all, it was the matter of He Libo's family, as an outsider he would definitely not be able to stop it, his silence was the source of this letter, since Yelu Zongyuan was preparing to rebel, it must be carried out in secret, how could it be possible to let his generals casually send such a letter to his family, if there was an accident on the road and the letter was discovered by the imperial court, then the unlucky ones were not the two brothers who were Wanyan He Libo,
Wang was thinking about whether to make this matter clear, and suddenly He Libo patted his thigh and said, "Childe, this matter is a little strange. He felt that something was wrong just now, but now he suddenly remembered that before he left, the two brothers had a discussion, if it was a major matter, he only sent a letter saying that the family was safe, or that he was in poor health, how could he suddenly send such a detailed letter,
He Libo stretched out his hand to ask for the letter, and looked at it carefully, the font is indeed very similar to his brother, but how to look at the tone of his speech is not like his brother, this idea did not make him feel less pressured at all, but he was more puzzled, could it be that his brother had an accident, and He Libo did not tell outsiders that he was doing things in the Wang's Mansion,
Wang next to see He Libo's brows furrowed tighter, he silently looked at He Libo, thinking that Yelu Hongji of Liao State, or the black crystal can give him some hints about Liao State, but there are not too many clues, this matter Wang side also found a pattern, it is difficult to find information from the black crystal of what happened in the dynasty, it seems that this also indicates that the unpredictability of the existence of Wang Bei,
Seeing that he couldn't find a clue, Wang Bi gave up thinking and asked He Libo: "Brother He thinks something is strange?"
He Libo told Wang what he thought in his heart: "In the Song Kingdom, and even in our Mayer Mansion, except for Gongzi and my mother-in-law, no one knows about my real name, how can I suddenly send this letter to the mansion." ”
Wang looked at He Libo and said that it was not a joke, and secretly thought in his heart that Li Enxi would naturally not say it to others, and he had never told anyone, so he suddenly laughed,
He Libo was stunned when he laughed, isn't this king nervous, what is there to be happy about in this matter,
Since the letter was sent to Meyer's house, it was not given to He Libo, but to Wang, and it seems that He Libo's identity will soon not be a secret, but the person who sent the letter obviously wants to clear up the relationship between Wang Pan and He Libo before sending the letter to He Libo, in case it is found out, it is also He Libo's private matter,
However, who is it, knows that this matter is so detailed, and why is this move, Wang Bian is still a little uncertain, seeing He Libo looking at himself with confused eyes, Wang Bian said: "Brother He, don't panic, there is no wind and no waves, there must be a reason for the affairs of Liao, you should be prepared, maybe you have to go back to Liao." ”
Seeing that Wang said calmly, He Libo felt a little comforted, and wanted to thank Wang Bei, Wang Bi hurriedly said: "You and my brothers don't have to be polite, it's just that the younger brother knows very little about the affairs of Liao, what kind of character is this Yelu Zongyuan, but I want to ask Brother He to tell me about it" After Wang Bi finished speaking, he greeted the family in the courtyard and sent some tea to the two, since he had a hunch that this matter was coming to him, he naturally had to do more homework,
He Libo simply sat on the stone bench, the two were about to talk, Tong Xiao ran over, he ran to the pavilion and listened to half a sentence, the child's ears were smart, just listen to what the king said, so regardless of whether the two adults objected, he sat directly on the stone bench,
The king looked at this tiger-headed little guy, and thought that it was okay for him to listen to it, but as Yuexia said, I had to hire a gentleman for him when I had time, this kid was too reckless,
He Libo smiled, Tong Xiao always pestered He Libo to learn martial arts, don't look at him if he can't learn literature, but he is a good billet for practicing martial arts, so he usually likes this kid more, he doesn't object to the king, and naturally has no opinion,
Speaking of the affairs of the Liao State, He Libo's eyes lit up, and before he could speak, he asked the king first: "Brother, you say, what is it like to be an emperor every day, otherwise what is it like to be an emperor, if I think it is better to be a Song country, not for this throne brothers are not in harmony." ”
Wang Beixin said, that's just that you don't know, he smiled: "Could it be that this Yelu Zongyuan also wants to be the emperor of Liao." ”
He Libo pouted: "It would be nice if he wanted to do it, the key is that he didn't want to do it." ”
This is a bit interesting, but if you don't want to be the emperor, why do you want to recruit troops and buy horses to plot against it, Tong Xiao saw that the two of you and I said one sentence, but he didn't start talking, he was a little anxious and said: "Uncle He, tell Tong Xiao quickly." ”
He Libo saw that the king also wanted to hear it, so he briefly said this matter of Liao: It turned out that when Liao Shengzong died, the eldest son Yelu Zongzhen ascended the throne, and Yelu Zongzhen's biological mother Xiao Yunjin (that is, the Empress Dowager Fatian) established herself as the empress dowager and regent, and forced Yelu Zongzhen's adoptive mother Qitian Empress Xiao Bodhisattva to death.
The Empress Dowager Fatian reused the corrupt officials and the people of his mother's family who were laid off in the era of Liao Shengzong and never hired, Yelu Zong really couldn't save because he had no power, and the mother and son had a grudge because of this, and the Empress Dowager Fatian planned to change the second son Yelu Zongyuan as the emperor.
Unexpectedly, Yelu Zongyuan himself told the emperor at the time, Yelu Zongzhen, who was furious and used force to abolish the Empress Dowager Fatian and force the Empress Dowager Fatian to "bow to the Qingling"; killed the queen mother's cronies again, and then, ordered the queen mother to keep a distance of ten miles from him, in case of accidents, the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother broke down.
Later, Yelu Zongzhen gambled with his brother Yelu Zongyuan, and lost several cities in a row, but Yelu Zongyuan never mentioned this matter, the emperor was very grateful, and promised to pass on the throne to Yelu Zongyuan after a hundred years when he was drunk, and his son Yelu Hongji (that is, the later Liao Daozong), was never named the crown prince, only the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses,
However, when Yelu Zong really died, he was succeeded by Yelu Hongji of Liao Dao Sect, which led to the fact that Yelu Zongyuan's father and son tried to seize the throne; Zhao Shu designed to frame Wang Bian, but this letter implying Wang Bian was not arranged by Zhao Shu, who was privately reminding Wang Bian,
