Chapter 160: Mourning Renzong died
It's so late, what's the matter with Yelu Hongji, so anxious to summon Wang Bei, Wang Bei knows that Huluduo is the felt tent of the emperor of Liao, such a summoning should be a purely private meeting, although he has a little good impression of Yelu Hongji today, but such a strange behavior still makes people suspicious,
He also felt that the matter was sudden, and he said to the king, "I will go with my brother." ”
Wang waved his hand: "No, Emperor Liao's private summons should be urgent, and besides, I am the envoy of the Song Kingdom, so he will not do harm." As he spoke, he tucked the sword of fish intestines under his robe to deal with the unexpected, and the king tidied up his clothes, and then he walked out of the account, and followed the palace man of the Liao Kingdom who came to deliver the decree, and walked towards the Huluduo where Yelu Hongji was.
The king did not know where Yeluhongki's Zarudor was, and followed the palace people through the tent with a bonfire in the interval, and the guards of the tent were everywhere, each closely observing the movements around him.
The palace people walked in front, looked back at the king, and said, "In front is the tent of the imperial uncle, and after those few seats, you will arrive, Wang Shilang, please come with me." ”
Just walked past the tent of the imperial uncle Yelu Zongyuan, a few people came from the opposite side, a woman's voice came, and the palace people who were drinking asked: "Who is on the other side, you don't give way when you see this palace." ”
This woman's voice is very young, but her tone is very arrogant, the palace people and the king by the side of the bonfire, looking up at a delicate woman, the palace people hurriedly said: "The palace people don't know that Princess Yan is here, how offended." And he hurriedly motioned to the king to get out of the way,
The woman walked in front of them with her entourage, glanced at the palace people with disdain, and then looked at the king, her eyes suddenly stopped on the face of the king, the Khitan people were still martial and rude, mighty but rarely handsome, the king was masculine but handsome, this woman called Princess Yan couldn't help but look stunned,
She pointed to the king and asked the palace people, "Who is this man and where are you taking him?" ”
The palace people hurriedly replied: "The emperor has an order, and he urgently recruits Wang Shilang, the ambassador of the Song State, to Huluduo." ”
After hearing this, the woman looked up and down around the king, and giggled: "I said why is this person so handsome, if it weren't for the envoy of the Song Kingdom, let you send it to me." Saying that, she looked at Wang with charming eyes and asked: "Wang Shilang, you have achieved the position of a waiter at such a young age, and you also came to my Liao Kingdom on behalf of the Song Kingdom, how old are you this year, and what relatives and friends do you have in the Song Kingdom." ”
Wang Bibian knew that the Khitan woman was arrogant, but he had never seen such a move, he looked at the woman in front of him, her hair was combed and drooping, the forehead part was cut flat with her eyebrows, and the rest of her ears were cut together, with a delicate hair crown on her head, the hair crown was slightly like the petal-shaped ornament of the Bodhisattva crown, and the woman's facial features were very pretty, but her expression was frivolous,
"This is." The king asked the palace people beside him,
The palace people hurriedly told the king: "This is the wife of the imperial uncle, Princess Yan." ”
Seeing this Princess Yan's demeanor, Wang Jian didn't want to waste time with her and talk nonsense: "Thank you Princess Yan for complimenting, in the year of the weak crown, Song Guo has parents and wives, and now I want to go to see the emperor and ask Princess Yan to make way." ”
The palace people glanced at the king, everyone knew that this princess Yan had always been coquettish, and her debauchery was famous, seeing that the king was unmoved, she was really a little worried that this princess Yan would go crazy,
Princess Yan smiled: "Okay, you go first, when you see the emperor, I invite you to taste the special wine of our Liao country." As she spoke, she leaned over to the king, and quietly stretched out her arm to take the king's arm.
Wang Fang immediately thought of Liang Luoyao in Western Xia, Liang Luoyao is also a person who does not abide by women's morals, but he is still a little reserved; This Princess Yan didn't even know that she was reserved, and the king dusted off her arm and said, "I don't have any interest in wine, Princess Yan should please go back and say goodbye." After speaking, he gave the palace people a look, and the two continued to walk towards Huluduo.
Princess Yan's voice came from behind him: "Phew, something." The king pretended not to hear it, but heard another voice coming from the side, with a gentle and tactful tone: "Princess Yan, as a noblewoman, can't be like this." ”
The king couldn't help but stop, and when he looked back, he saw that a few people had walked out from their side, and they had just come to the vicinity of the bonfire, Princess Yan hurriedly bowed her head and saluted, but her eyes peeked at the king.
The person who spoke looked at the king and smiled slightly: "This messenger, the emperor is waiting in the tent, please go to the tent quickly." After that, he looked at Princess Yan and said, "It's cold outside, my sister should hurry back to the emperor's uncle's tent." ”
The king walked beside him and asked the palace people who were traveling with him, "Who is the one who just spoke?" He was curious in his heart, how could there be such a steady and delicate woman in Liao, and the palace man replied: "After such a long delay, I didn't have time to let you see you in a hurry, that is the queen Xiao Shi, the small character Guanyin, is the daughter of the late privy envoy Xiao Hui." ”
Wang Jian heard a soft hum, and couldn't help but think of the legend of the "Ten Words", in the future, this gentle and skillful talented woman was framed and died at the death of Yelu Hongji.
After walking a short distance, he came to the big tent where Yelu Hongji lived, after the palace people passed the ceremony, the king followed the palace people into the big tent, Yelu Hongji sat on the throne of the big tent, he closed his eyes, his brows were furrowed, he heard the voice of the king coming in, he opened his eyes, his eyes were red,
Seeing the king coming in, Yelu Hongji stood up and walked a few steps, walked to the king's side, took the king's hand, his nose was sore, and tears fell.
This made the king a little surprised, people said that men don't flick when they have tears, not to mention a big man like Yelu Hongji, and the emperor of Liao, there must be something hidden in this,
"Emperor Liao, when did you grieve so much." The king hurriedly asked,
Yelu Hongji was sad in his heart, and he choked up and said: "I think that I Liao and Song, forty-two years have not seen soldiers, when I went to the Song country, Emperor Renzong treated me politely, and now, he abandoned the alliance between the two countries, I just received the express report, Emperor Renzong of Song Guoren died. ”
These words were like a thunderbolt, exploding on the head of the king, and the king suddenly felt that his mind was blank, he was stunned for a while, he ignored the fact that the opposite side was the emperor of the Liao State, and asked with wide eyes: "What do you say, say it again." ”
Yelu Hongji shook his head, he admired Han culture since he was a child, in his mind, Emperor Renzong was his idol, the Song Kingdom was peaceful, and the border was harmonious, he was full of guilt, and said in a depressed mood: "Emperor Renzong of Song has died, even Emperor Renzong of Song has died, what is the meaning of this world." ”
"The emperor ......" Wang said these two words softly, his eyes were hot, and two lines of tears remained, this is the first time Wang has cried since crossing to the Song Dynasty, his mind kept flashing, the first time he saw the benevolent emperor of Renzong, half-squinted his eyes and looked at the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty with a smile; The emperor who loves himself and is afraid that he will be like his teacher Di Qing, who will attract jealousy and defend himself everywhere; the plain elder with gray temples and old clothes in the arched hall; The Renzong who loves all living beings and would rather maintain the peace of the border people with silver and silver,
There was a sigh of embarrassment in the big tent, not only Yelu Hongji burst into tears, but also the palace attendants shed tears.
Yelu Hongji invited the king to sit down, and he said with a sad face: "Tomorrow I will announce the funeral of the whole country, and send someone to send Wang Shilang back to the Song Kingdom as soon as possible." ”
The king knows that people can't be resurrected after death, there are a few people in the world who can be like themselves, and they can live again after they die, and this is also the destiny of heaven, even the emperor can't escape, history will not stay because of Renzong's death, and what should continue must continue.
He wiped his tears, and his voice was still a little choked: "Thank you Emperor Liao, I don't know what to say, it's rare that Emperor Liao remembers my lord's old feelings, and after returning to the Song Kingdom next time, he will definitely advise the new lord to continue the Song-Liao friendship covenant." This is indeed the voice of the king's heart, especially when he sees that Yelu Hongji is not hypocritical, but moved by true feelings,
Yelu Hongji sighed: "The world knows me is not Emperor Renzong, I knew that Renzong would send you here, some time ago Renzong also gave me a national letter, which stated that Wang Shilang sent an envoy to Xixia to try his best to do business, I am afraid that no one will be able to understand in the future, what I Yelu Hongji did in this position." "It was a whining pain,
The king saw that Yelu Hongji was even more sad than he cried, and he had the heart to persuade him, but he was also sad at this moment, so it was better to let him cry happily.
Yelu Hongji waved his hand to signal all the people in the tent to retreat, and those palace people and attendants saw that their emperor was crying sadly, and wiped their tears and retreated.
When the king saw that Yelu Hongji had something to say to himself, he couldn't bear the sadness in his heart, and he said to Yelu Hongji: "The Liao Emperor takes care of the dragon's body, ...... he couldn't continue.
Yelu Hongji stopped crying: "Wang Shilang, today I will talk to you, a native of the Song Dynasty, I am Emperor Renzong like a brother, only our brothers understand, it is not easy to keep the foundation of the ancestors to make the world peaceful, the alliance of Tanyuan, some people scold Emperor Renzong for being cowardly, but we know that countless iron horses in the sixteen states of Yanyun will ruin everything if they step on it, and the age of Emperor Renzong is just a formality, how many people scold my ancestors, and then further step on the Central Plains and take a fancy to the small profits, the two generations are under such pressure, all looking at the dawn of the common life!"
At this moment, the king understands why Yelu Hongji is so sad, the world's great confidant is hard to find, and the person who dies for his confidant can get a confidant who would rather endure the infamy, this Yelu Hongji is really not like Yelu Hongji who the king knows about by hearsay, doesn't he know himself, he is going to be in danger, doesn't he know the outside world's evaluation of him, doesn't he know that the imperial uncle he respects is going to rebel,
