Chapter 185: Naming the Twin Towers

On the Prince Mountain, the drums are loud and the sound of killing is shaking the sky, the soldiers of Yelu Zongyuan have been running continuously in the past few days, last night to prevent being attacked by sneak attacks, rushed up the mountain in the morning and saw an unexpected miracle, the emperor actually appeared on the boulder that could not go up, and there was no power to fight back when the people's hearts were scattered,

And the troops of the leather room army rested for many days, and the soldiers were energetic and fought under the nose of their emperor, each like a tiger, this was a battle where the outcome was decided, and the sound of swords, swords, shadows, and steel intersected, mixed with the wails of the rebels falling to the ground,

When the sun shines on Taizi Mountain, the banner of Yelu Zongyuan who fell down, and the corpses of the rebels on the hillside, all of this looks in the eyes of Yelu Hongji, so pleasing to the eye, Yelu Zongyuan and his son Yelu Hongxiao were tied up together, the father and son knelt under the two boulders together, and the father and son looked at the figure of Yelu Hongji on the boulder under the scorching sun, and lowered their heads helplessly,

Yelu Hongji was happy in his heart, and after holding back for so many days, he finally saw a good show that made him excited, and in addition to being happy, he was somewhat sad, so he stood up and walked into the tower.

"Is the emperor tired of watching?" One of the guards whispered,

The soldier standing behind the king holding a banner asked the king, "Wang Xianren, why didn't the emperor watch the battle?" ”

Wang looked at the battlefield in front of him, and his heart was also full of mixed feelings, the war was a bloody killing, he said: "Uncle Huang's thoughts, the people of Liao are killing each other, even if this battle is won beautifully, the emperor will be sad." ”

"Well, it seems that the Wang Immortals understand the heart of the king, like we just feel happy when we win the battle." The guard also said with emotion,

Wang Bi no longer pays attention to them, he no longer looks at the battlefield under the boulder, Wang Bi found a place with a good line of sight and looked in the direction of the south, the moon is about to give birth, it is not important to give birth to a boy or a girl, the important thing is that Wang Bi can not be by the side of his beloved woman, at this moment he knows that after this battle, he can leave this place, but not to return to the capital of the Song Kingdom, but to go to a farther place, thinking of this Wang Bi is extremely melancholy,

The battle was over, and there was a bustle under the boulders, some soldiers tidying up the battlefield, throwing the corpses of the rebels on the carts, transporting them to the bottom of the mountain to find a place to bury them, and some sorting out the scattered weapons on the battlefield; Some counted the horses and supplies; Tents were erected under boulders, bonfires were raised, and the smell of blood was in the air behind the battlefield, which, if not dealt with in time, would attract wild beasts.

Xin Zan and Zhi Kejun and others also returned with soldiers, and also transported back the steel bars, fasteners and planks that were used to build the scaffolding when the tower was built, and all the people were busy, with only one purpose, to welcome the Liao Emperor down from the boulder as soon as possible.

These workers did it this time, faster than last time, after all, the previous time a dismantling and disassembly, this time are much more skilled than the last time, and there is no need for additional time to prepare materials, before dark, the shelves on the boulder have been set up four or five battles, and the speed of their work makes those who have just won the battle of the Pi Shijun and the forbidden army stunned,

This night, the soldiers rushed to work day and night, the torches were bright everywhere near the boulder on Taizi Mountain, and under the boulder were dotted bonfires, plus the bonfires lit in front of the emperor Yelu Hongji and the king on the boulder, which formed a different scenery and lit up the entire night sky.

This night, Yelu Hongji and the king have their own thoughts, Yelu Hongji's heart is to let the king say right, although the battle was won, but he didn't expect that he was not very happy, not to mention the throne debt owed by his father, it was finally his turn to pay it off, the two of them drank silently, watching the busyness under the boulder,

Finally, Yelu Hongji opened his mouth: "Wang Xianren, I look at this speed, and we can go down tomorrow." ”

"Yes, this stayed on the stone for several days, and I wronged the saint." The king breathed a long sigh of relief, and when he thought about it, he only narrowed the Son of Heaven and did not order the princes.

"Grievances, hehe, that's not to talk about grievances, it's just a little lonely without singing and dancing, otherwise these days will simply become a fairy, you see, we don't ask about the world, drink and talk every day, watch the sunrise in the morning and watch the sunset in the evening, how can there be any grievances." Yelu Hongji is also telling the truth, thinking that it is rare for him to have a few days, and he will not be chased by the ministers every day.

The king smiled, Yelu Hongji didn't feel wronged, he asked Yelu Hongji: "Shengshang, now that the charge of the emperor's uncle has been established, I don't know what the Shengshang wants to do." ”

Yelu Hongji thought for a while: "Alas, don't you want to ask about the loss of treasure in Tianwang Temple, but after all, you are not an official of my Liao State, so it doesn't seem appropriate for you to ask." ”

Wang nodded and said: "The Holy Lord can send someone to interrogate in detail, and in addition, I suggest that the Holy Lord send someone to invite Master Qi Song, the abbot of Tianwang Temple, so that the inquiry is more famous." ”

Yelu Hongji thought of how to deal with the emperor's uncle's father and son, and he was also embarrassed, after all, if his father Yelu Zong really kept his promise, the current emperor of Liao should be the emperor's uncle Yelu Zongyuan, not to mention that the emperor also made so many military exploits for the Liao country: "This matter is easy to say, but it is just about the rebellion of the imperial uncle, if I kill the imperial uncle, I can't bear it, and the world will laugh at me for not being benevolent; If you don't kill it, I'm afraid it will be a disaster in the future, Wang Xianren, if this matter is in your Song Kingdom, how should it be handled. ”

Wang Beixin said that people who are slightly capable in the Song Kingdom, especially the military generals, have long been regarded as dead, and they have not come out at all, such as the teacher Di Qing, and then look at his current situation, he smiled helplessly: "Saint, I told you how my Song Taizu of the Song Kingdom relieved the minister's military power, and there is a story here." ”

Yelu Hongji hurriedly said: Okay, this king will listen to Wang Xianren talk about the Song Kingdom today, he said and ordered the guards to fill some wine, the guards heard that the king was going to tell a story, and they all gathered around, and the king said: "I want to add the yellow robe of Song Taizu to the body, lest the ministers repeat the old tricks, so he decided to cut off the military power of Shi Shouxin and others, one day, Song Taizu went to the court, all the things were discussed, and when he retreated from the dynasty, he said to Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi, Zhang Lingduo, Zhao Yanhui and other leading soldiers: 'Aiqing and others stay, I will hold a banquet in the hall tonight, enjoy the bright moon with the Qing and others, and enjoy the joy of the monarch and the ministers,'"

"Oh, what is Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin going to do." Yelu Hongji asked curiously,

Wang next to a smile and then said: "These are all the generals who have been sealed as the envoys of the festival, some of them are the subordinates of the Chen Qiao mutiny to support Taizu's self-reliance, some are the ministers of the court to respond to Taizu, and Song Taizu's righteous brothers, they are flattered when they hear that Song Taizu wants to have fun with everyone, Song Taizu prepared endless rare flavors, elixir delicacies, these ministers are sitting around the table with Song Taizu, only to see the staggered cup and change the lamp, Taizu is full of spring breeze to drink, these people talk about the past and the present, the sea and the sky, The interest is high. ”

Yelu Hongji nodded and listened: "It seems that the Song Taizu of your Song Kingdom is also an approachable king. He sighed and said,

The king did not answer Yelu Hongji's words, but continued: "When the wine was almost drunk, Song Taizu suddenly sighed and said, 'If I had not had your support, where would I be today, now I am the Son of Heaven, but I am not as chic and happy as you, and I have not slept well for a day since I received the Zen canon.'"

The guards, like Yelu Hongji, listened quietly to the king's narration, and one of the guards couldn't help but ask, "Why is that?" ”

Wang said with a smile: "Yes, everyone is also strange, the general Shi Shouxin and others heard this, and hurriedly left their seats and asked, 'Your Majesty, why is you worried?' Taizu sighed again and said: "I and the princes are friends in trouble, I might as well tell you bluntly, I am often worried, this emperor's throne does not know whether to sit firmly," Shi Shouxin and the others heard this, and they were shocked and worried, so they prostrated their heads and said: "Why did the Holy Lord say this?" And today, the next unification, the name of the monarch and the minister has been decided, who dares to have different intentions?'"

Wang took a sip of wine, saw that several people were staring and listening carefully, waiting for his next words, he continued: "Song Taizu said: I know that you are sincere and will not betray me, but if your subordinates are greedy for glory and wealth, once they secretly instigate a mutiny, although you don't want to do this, but just like me when the Chenqiao mutiny happened, when the matter comes, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and it will be difficult to go against the will of everyone. ”

The guards looked at each other, and Yeluhongji seemed to realize something,

Wang said: "Shi Shouxin and others listened to Taizu's words, and suddenly realized: it turned out that what Taizu was worried about was the military power in our hands, they had followed Taizu for a long time, and knew that Taizu was not only a mighty and heroic person, but also a master of strategy who was well versed in strategy, and knew that he was in line with the prosperity and the disobedience was dead. ”

So Shi Shouxin and the others knelt on the ground and cried and said: 'The ministers are stupid enough to do this, beg Your Majesty to have mercy and show a way to live,' Taizu saw that this group of heroes was as he expected, so interesting, and his heart was very happy, so he said: 'Life is in a hurry, it is really unpredictable, so when you are alive, accumulate more gold and silver, and have fun in time, so that you will not waste this life, and you can also benefit your children and grandchildren. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?'

Shi Shouxin and other generals hurriedly thanked them, and they all dispersed happily, and the next day, all the military commanders came up to the table to complain about the illness, requesting the removal of military power, and Song Taizu played one by one, just like that, Song Taizu cleverly cut the command of these founding fathers over the forbidden army in a cup of wine and laughter.

After telling the story, the king raised his glass and said: "Shengshang, the emperor uncle supports the army and respects himself, and now he has made a big mistake, the saint takes this opportunity to relieve the emperor's uncle's military power, and he thinks that the blood relatives spare his life, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds, the saint is wise, build twin towers on the boulder, and release the military power when quelling the rebellion." ”

Yelu Hongji raised his glass and said: "Really nothing can escape the eyes of the Wang Immortals, nothing can be difficult for the Wang Immortals, haha, this king will name this mountain Shuangta Mountain, in order to respect the Wang Immortals." ”
