Only men can understand the pain of losing their confidants, and only those in power can understand this level of competition, just like Zhuge Liang crying Zhou Yu, all from the bottom of his heart, that is a kind of respect,

Finally, Yelu Hongji held back his sadness, he sighed blankly: "The world laughs at me for doing nothing, reusing traitorous ministers, I have been on the throne for eight years and trying to seek a new policy, but it is not easy to know that the country is not easy, some ministers regard themselves as meritorious heroes, if they violate their interests, they have to use troops, not because I am weak, but because of the foundation of the country, it is not easy for the people to be peaceful." ”

As a person hundreds of years later, Wang Fang naturally understands what Yelu Hongji means, history has always been like this, most of the heroes who released the military power and killed the heroes will end up infamy, and some people do rely on the founding of the country to be arrogant and arrogant, and they have done the unrighteous things in the regime they wanted to overthrow at the beginning, some of these people are for power, some are for money, completely forget the original intention of the founding of the country, and finally become vampires who are rampant and rampic,

The king muttered for a moment and asked thoughtfully, "That's why Liaoshang tried not to use force as much as possible, and hoped to peacefully resolve the war between Goryeo and the Japanese slaves." ”

Yelu Hongji looked at the king, this young man who was more than ten years younger than himself, he could get the trust and love of Renzong, I believe he could also understand his own mind, after all, Yelu Hongji's situation and Renzong ascended the throne after he ascended the throne, they all ascended the throne in peacetime, the country left by their ancestors and the foundation to be rebuilt, how difficult and important peace is,

He only didn't know what was on his mind, maybe the king could understand: "Uncle Huang has a heavy army in his hands and occupies a favorable position, if I order him to send troops to support Goryeo, he must think that I am deliberately taking him away, if I transfer troops from other escort capitals through Tokyo, I will give Uncle Huang a reason to raise troops, whether to support Goryeo or not, is not as simple as others see." ”

Wang Pan had to admit that he had never considered whether the Liao State would send troops to support Goryeo from the perspective of Yelu Hongji: "Wang was ashamed, he didn't expect the Liao Emperor to be so worried. ”

Yelu Hongji shook his head: "Hey~, Wang Shilang doesn't have to be like this, there are few people in the world who can understand the intentions of Emperor Renzong and me." He said that his eyes were slightly red,

Seeing that the words had come to this, Wang couldn't help but sigh: "My Song Kingdom is located in the Central Plains for thousands of years of civilization history, the people are deeply immersed in Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism and other cultures, if it is not for foreign invasion or the people in power are very mediocre, they will generally abide by the way of heaven, earth, people, kings and ministers, but Liao, Xia is desolate, mostly nomadic, naturally warlike, and the territory is very vast, it is more difficult to govern, and it seems to be even more difficult to want peace." ”

Yelu Hongji raised his eyes and looked at the king, the king's words were to the point, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder Emperor Renzong favored the king, this king really understood the emperor's heart, just now he wanted to talk to the king, and now he desperately wanted to communicate with the king: "What Wang Shilang said is very true, I also have this idea, I want to respect Buddhism since the first emperor, hoping to influence the people, this is not an overnight thing after all......"

When the king heard Yelu Hongji say this, he suddenly thought of Tianwang Temple, and the treasure of the temple in the temple was the white stone that he was looking for, so he might as well take this opportunity to test the whereabouts of the white stone: "Emperor Liao, I have also heard that the former emperor of Liao believed in Buddhism, and there is something I don't know whether to ask or not." ”

Yelu Hongji was no longer wary of the king at this moment, and said generously: "If you have something, you can ask, and I will say nothing about you today." ”

Seeing Yelu Hongji say this, the king asked: "Since the Liao Emperor knows the heart of the imperial uncle, I have also heard the rumors that the former emperor gambled with the imperial uncle in Tianwang Temple and lost the city, I don't know if there is such a thing, or because the imperial uncle will be dissatisfied." ”

Yelu Hongji smiled bitterly: "I have heard the former emperor say this, because of this, until I ascended the throne, I have not been crowned the crown prince, but with the position of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, I succeeded to the throne in front of my late father's spirit, Wang Shilang, do you know the real reason for this casino and the former emperor's broken promise." ”

How did the king know about this, the king looked at Yelu Hongji and listened carefully,

Yelu Hongji said: "The emperor did it on purpose, otherwise why would he gamble on the city. ”

This is a bit strange, how can the emperor deliberately lose the city, the king frowned slightly, Yelu Hongji smiled slightly: "When my father was on the throne, when the queen mother Xiao Yunjin was regent, conspired to set up the emperor's uncle as the emperor, this matter was told by the emperor's uncle, let the father be careful, and later when the war with the Song State in front of the Tanyuan Alliance, the emperor's uncle and Yelu Yixin were both heroes, the gambling of Tianwang Temple lost the city, the father did it on purpose, there was a concubine arranged by a minister to pretend to be a Taoist aunt, who was this minister The father did not tell me, But the father defended and warned that person that as long as he was a Ming monarch in the world, he could sit on the throne of the emperor. ”

The king realized, "So it was, and when it came to the things of the world, they could not fully believe what they saw. ”

Yelu Hongji snorted: "What you see is only the surface, you can't see what people's hearts think, and you can't see the judgment of future generations." ”

This was just when the king wanted to ask, and he asked: "The first emperor has left the Liao Emperor a heart of love for the people, if you leave you another treasure that can be judged by future generations, the Liao Emperor's wish will be fulfilled." After saying that, he quietly observed Yeluhongji,

Yelu Hongji seemed to remember something: "The first emperor really left me a treasure." ”

Wang Be: "Oh, it has something to do with the Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism we are talking about. ”

Yelu Hongji's eyes lit up a little: "Well, it's the treasure of Tianwang Temple." ”

The deer jumped around in the king's heart, if it was really the Yue Jin stone, he had to find a way to get it, at least take a look at it: "I don't know if there is this blessing in the next place, I can take a look." ”

Emperor Liao did not answer the king directly, but called outside the account: "Come here." ”

The palace man who led the king to Huluduo walked in and saluted respectfully: "The emperor has orders and orders." ”

Yelu Hongji said: "You quickly order someone to prepare a set of national funeral clothes for Wang Shilang overnight, and send them to Wang Shilang's tent early tomorrow morning." "The palace people took the order and left,

Wang Fang thought that Yelu Hongji didn't plan to let him see it, but Yelu Hongji said: "The palace man you saw just now is the treasure of Tianwang Temple left to me by the previous emperor. ”

Yelu Hongji's words were quite puzzled by the king's side, he looked at Yelu Hongji suspiciously, Yelu Hongji explained: "This palace man is called Yelu Liangren, he just went to Tianwang Temple to practice, who knew that he saw the concubine's lack of concentration and moved some vulgar thoughts, he knew that his practice was not enough, and he was angry and cleansed himself, the first emperor not only did not blame him, but enlightened him to see the color and break the precepts, and then the first emperor left him by his side, this person's loyalty is the treasure left to me by the first emperor." ”

cough, this Yelu Hongji is enough, Wang Biangang was still a little excited, but unexpectedly Yelu Hongji said that he was indeed a palace person, but Yelu Hongji took this loyalty as a treasure, and as an emperor, he also explained it, especially like the situation he was in, who didn't want the people around him to be loyal to him,

It seems that Yelu Hongji is not a false excuse, and it seems that it is not easy to ask about that Yue Jinshi today, not to mention that Renzong's death also touched the king, and he was also sad in his heart, Yelu Hongji asked the king to return to the Song Kingdom, like the new lord said that he would abide by the alliance of Tanyuan, and was willing to do his best for the peace of the border like Emperor Renzong, and the king said some words of gratitude, and returned to the camp in a depressed mood,

Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Bian resigned to Yelu Hongji, and was surprised to see that all the officials of the Liao State were ordered to wear vegetarian clothes, and even Yelu Hongji himself was treated in plain clothes, which made Wang Bian very moved, even if Yelu Hongji was doing it, the appearance was also very good, that is, there was no saying that the flag was lowered at half-mast in ancient times, otherwise the Liao State would definitely lower the flag at half-mast for Emperor Renzong's funeral.

The people next to the king rushed to the Song Kingdom, but unfortunately he did not have the opportunity to see the last face of Emperor Renzong, he was very depressed, along the way he saw the people of Liao with sad expressions, the king ordered Zhang Ping to inquire, only to know that it was all for the death of Emperor Renzong, many old people, heard that Emperor Renzong died, and couldn't help but cry, the more this scene went to the border, the more the king saw,

The king is like an arrow, he does not dare to delay much on the road, a few fast horses travel day and night, it doesn't take many days, he arrived in Baozhou, and he didn't get to the city of Baozhou, he saw two horses under the city, and immediately there were two people looking at the direction from which the king came, and the king recognized one of them from a distance, and hurried forward.

When he approached and saw that another one was actually a herald, the king chuckled in his heart, and a sense of foreboding came to his heart, and he urged the horse to turn over and dismount when he came near, and the herald who heard the herald ordered the king to receive the decree, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Behind him, Zhi Kejun and others also followed the king to kneel down to receive the decree, but listened to the decree brought by the herald, let the king immediately go to Goryeo, mediate the dispute between Goryeo and the Japanese slaves, if there is a war, the court will try its best to cooperate, the king always feels that something is wrong when he listens to the will, he looks up at the herald, he is not very old, the king looks at Yue Li, Yue Li's expression is sad and nervous,

"Beside the king, don't you still accept the order?" This young man looked very raw, and his expression was full of disdain for the king,

The people around the prince, the king also knows a few, including the people in the palace and the officials of the court, but he has never seen such a person, the king glared at him, this young man is very white, that is, a little arrogant, this arrogance is completely different from the unruliness of the king, this arrogance has a kind of self-reliance frivolity, but it is not completely frivolous,

The king said calmly: "Before the minister received the decree, there was a question, the court sent me to Goryeo, why not wait for me to return to the capital, I returned from a long distance, going to Goryeo to mediate is not a matter of one or two days and overnight, now that the emperor has died, I want to go back to the capital first to pay respects." ”

The king said, but saw Yue Li wrinkling vigorously, making eye contact with him, indicating something,

The young man sneered: "Wang Shilang, do you dare to resist the decree." ”

When the king heard this, he caught fire, and he pulled the young man from his horse, glared at him, and scolded: "It is my business whether I accept the decree or not, and you little herald officer has disrespected me. ”

Yue Li hurriedly came over and grabbed the wrist next to the king: "Brother Xian, don't be in a hurry." Yue Li hurriedly said to the herald: "Brother Tai, please see that Wang Shilang has returned from a long distance, give me a thin face, and ask Wang Shilang to go into the city for a short rest before setting off." ”

When the king heard the words, the voice was wrong, damn it, why, Lao Tzu can't even enter the city of Baozhou,
