The team of people and horses swept out of Yanshan.

After Yanshan, it is different, there are mostly Han people in the south of Yanshan, and in the north of Yanshan, Han people still account for the majority, but it is not the Han people who are in charge, but the Xi people. The most disdainful of the Han people was not the Manchus, nor the Jurchens, nor the Western Xia. Rather, Yuanmeng, four kinds of people, Yuanmeng classified the Han people as the fourth class, and the Mongols beat the Han people to death in vain. Of course, the result was also miserable, and he was rushed back to the desert in only a few decades. The nomadic country that treats the Han people the most, the Khitan can be ranked first.

If divided, the lowest in the Khitan territory were the Jurchens and the Uighurs. The status of the Han people and the Bohai people (mature Jurchen) is almost the same, in fact, the status of the Han people is slightly higher than that of the Bohai people. But the race next to the Khitan is not the Han people, but the Xi people. The two ethnic groups are the real brothers, which is equivalent to the relationship between the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Mongolian ethnic groups in the east.

So something bad happened.

Although Khitan Nanjing Road and Xijing Road are mainly cultivated, they can be mountainous. After a long period of peace, the population increased, and a lot of wealth was generated, and some Khitan nobles were greedy for this wealth and moved from north to south, entering Youzhou and Xijing. However, due to the pressure of life, most of the Han people merged several major families, and the homesteaders began to move to the north, and some even developed to the Khitan Shangjing area. But most of the land here belongs to the Xi people, it doesn't matter if the land is barren, it doesn't matter if the mountains are wasted, but if you want to plant their land, you must pay a heavy rent. The Han people live in poverty here.

Zheng Lang looked at it and didn't make a sound.

It seems to be an advantage, but I don't know where to start. Don't say any advantages, the Han people here are used to life, but they don't think there is any inconvenience. When the Song army came to reclaim the territory, they still raised their arms to resist.

Liu Liufu walked over, pointed to the mountains and dripping, and asked, "Xingzhi, can I be magnificent towards the mountains and rivers?" ”

"Brother Liu, although the mountains and black waters in the north are magnificent, I still like the delicacy of the south."

"I read some history books yesterday. When the Zheng family in Xingyang grew stronger, it was because of the cooperation of the Northern Wei Dynasty that it became a world-class wealthy family. ”

"Yes, but I am happy. There are also dislikes. ”

"What a solution."

"Xizhi is a few big valves, so that the northern Han civilization is preserved, because there is our dynasty to dominate the world, the root cause of the emergence of civilized dynasties. To dislike it is to hold too many resources and cause destruction. ”

"I heard that Tang Taizong has three-quarters of the Xianbei bloodline?"

"Yes, but he considers himself a Han Chinese, and he is governed from within. Later, his descendants mostly married Han women. It is already difficult to say that the Tang Dynasty is a Xianbei royal family. However, it is precisely because of this that the five surnames and seven families are despised. This is the pride of the real Han family. ”

Liu Liufu was dumbfounded.

Guo Kui snickered on the side, and the two of them spoke with great meaning, but after the confrontation, Liu Liufu had the upper hand.

Liu Fei'er gave Liu Liufu a salute.

Fortunately, Zheng Lang did not have a relationship with these four women, otherwise Zheng Lang would have become Liu Liufu's junior. Several women were very alert, but it was too easy for Zheng Lang to try to trick them, so he asked by the way. It's easy to get their backgrounds. As Zheng Lang guessed, they were all girls who came to the big family. And the background is not thin, not a concubine. All of them are from direct origins. Liu Fei'er is Liu Liufu's niece. Zheng Lang was also surprised, and thought about it for a long time, there was only one reason, one was forced by the Khitan Emperor, and the other was that he taught Confucianism, and the Han family should be good, so he did not use the concubine to prevaricate.

After riding a few steps, Liu Liufu sighed.

Zheng Lang didn't hear it, although he was lax for the sake of the Khitan, and he was vain and wronged. Make some concessions, but the bottom line must be adhered to.

Can't back down too much, Liao Xingzong returned to Youzhou from the Changchun River, and only really clashed, the time was only two months, and now he will make a big concession. What's next?

But step by step give them some nostalgic thoughts.

The brigade came to the bank of the Qingliang River in the north of Yong'an Mountain and set up a large camp. Avoidance begins.

A few days later, Yelu Hongji came to Zheng Lang's tent and said to Zheng Lang: "Zheng Xianggong, how about accompanying me out hunting?" ”…,

Zheng Lang and Guo Kui tacitly made a look, did not hesitate, and replied, "Okay." ”

As soon as they left, the group came to Yong'an Mountain, it was Zeng Gongliang and his party. After Zhao Zhen issued the edict, Zeng Gongliang was also worried about Zheng Lang's safety, and rushed to Khitan almost non-stop. After coming to Youzhou, the Khitan escort asked them to rest in the post house. was rejected by Zeng Gongliang, and they immediately came to Yong'an Mountain.

Liao Xingzong asked them to sit down and said, "Guoshu I have sent someone to hand it over to Zheng Lang. ”

"Your Majesty, what about Zheng Xianggong?"

"It's unfortunate, he seems to have accompanied King Liang to hunt, and I don't know the specifics, but there are still two guards left in the barracks, you go and ask about the situation."

Zeng Gongliang didn't think much about it, and came to a large tent next to him, Khitan was very cautious about Zheng Lang, although he lived in a tent, he had everything in the tent, and he lacked nothing, which was very luxurious. Without waiting for Zeng Gongliang to ask, Zhang Hai asked loudly: "Yang Xi, Wang Heixing, what about Zheng Xianggong?" ”

"Zheng Xianggong accompanied King Liang out hunting."

"When will you be back?"

Seeing Zhang Hai snatching his question, Zeng Gongliang was not angry, this is the performance of the protector, it is righteous anger.

"Zhang Dutou, we don't know, but Zheng Xianggong told us before leaving, this trip will be out for a long time."

"How can it be so long?" Zeng Gongliang asked puzzled.

Wang Sixing replied: "My subordinates don't know, but I heard Zheng Xianggong say to King Liang that if you want to be a good emperor, you must inspect the people's conditions and understand the people's suffering, so in the name of hunting, you can walk around." Student Zeng, if you ask the four little ladies, they should know better. ”

"Four little ladies?"

"It's Zheng Xianggong's new four concubines."

Zeng Gongliang's face changed, this is not good news, it is not a big problem to teach the Khitan prince Confucianism, Confucianism has not been figured out in the Song Dynasty, and the Khitan can be taught in the east or west. But it is not good to teach the Khitan prince to know the sufferings of the people. It's even more wrong to accept four concubines, others can, Zheng Lang can't, you are the leader of the two gentlemen, every move, how many people are watching?

"Where are they?"

"It's inside, Master Zeng, please wait a moment," Yang Xi knocked on the bead curtain and said, "Four ladies, I am coming, please come out to meet." ”

The four maidens, who should be young women, are all dressed as young women. Dressed in the clothes of a Song Dynasty woman, even her hair is combed in a high bun of the Song Dynasty. However, all of them are beautiful and outstanding, and even between their hands and feet, their movements are very graceful.

Zeng Gongliang frowned even more: "You are ......"

"I've seen the Song envoy. The slaves and maidservants were the concubines of Zheng Xianggong. ”

Zeng Gongliang asked Yang Xi unhappily: "Guard Yang, when did this happen?" ”

"About twenty days later, Zheng Xianggong entered the palace in Youzhou to teach King Liang, and when he came back, he brought four little ladies."

"I heard that Zheng Xianggong became the prince of the Khitan?"

"Master Zeng, why do you say this? Zheng Xianggong didn't even dare to agree to the imperial examination, how could he dare to be the prince of the Khitan? ”

Zeng Gongliang's expression was slightly resolved, but the next sentence made him unhappy again. Yang Xi said again: "The Khitan Liang King is gentle and elegant, and there is a beautiful little lady from the Wei family, what is it called?" ”

"It's Xiao Guanyin," Liu Fei'er said from the side.

"Yes, it's called Xiao Guanyin, the two of them are quite qualified, Zheng Xianggong took pity on his talent and taught the two carefully. But he didn't do anything out of the box. ”

"Nonsense!" Zeng Gongliang snorted, even if he was not a Taifu, he could not teach the Khitan crown prince carefully. Besides, there is also the beautiful little lady of the Wei family, what a mess. Suddenly calmed down, Zheng Lang is not this kind of person, there is a reason for doing this, there must be other truths, so he asked: "Four little ladies, when will Zheng Xianggong return?" ”

Zhang Jiujiu owed a salute and said, "Song Envoy, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you." The original intention of Zheng Xianggong was to take King Liang to inspect everywhere, and he didn't know where the slaves and maids were. Before leaving, he said to the slave maid that this trip may take many days, maybe two months and three months? ”…,

"Didn't you miss the imperial examination?"

"The imperial examination was originally invited by His Majesty, but His Majesty has come to Yong'an Mountain to avoid the office, and Zheng Xianggong will probably not go to preside over the imperial examination."

Nothing was asked, even if it did. It's not good news, if you bring what you heard today back to the capital, Zeng Gongliang can imagine in his heart, and I don't know how many attacks Zheng Lang will be subjected to. I had no choice but to ask to see Liao Xingzong again.

Liao Xingzong received him very politely, and asked, "Have you seen Zheng Lang?" ”

"No, we came to ask Zheng Xianggong to send someone to find Zheng Xianggong back."

"Exactly."

Zeng Gongliang retreated, and Liao Xingzong and several cronies and ministers looked at each other and laughed. He also didn't want to tear his face directly with the Song Dynasty, after all, 500,000 a year was a lot of income for the Khitan. But there are other ways to put Zheng Lang on the road of no return step by step. Zheng Lang is smart, but no matter how smart he is, he is just one person, can he have so many ministers and opponents?

"Come with me," Liao Xingzong said.

When they came to the tent where Zheng Lang was, Yang Xi and Wang Hei bowed and saluted.

"Get up, you have done a good job, and when you finish this errand, I will be rewarded."

Zheng Lang and Guo Kui are most worried about what happened, they have been in the Khitan for a long time, although they are carefully selected, the Khitan is willing to buy them, and there will be people who betray them. Besides, the pitiful status of military generals, not to mention small soldiers.

Liao Xingzong asked again: "What is Zheng Lang's plan?" ”

He couldn't figure it out, after so long, he had never seen Zheng Lang worry, and he sent Liu Liufu and others to test him, but he never had the heart to surrender, and he felt that something was wrong in his heart.

"Your Majesty, our position is low, I'm afraid only General Guo knows the inside story, but occasionally pay attention to listen, it will take a year to hear what Zheng Xianggong said, and what else Zhao Zhong has, and also hinted to us, don't worry, although it will stay for a long time, we will eventually return to the Southern Dynasty. The rest is unknown. ”

"A year?"

"It's about a year later, what arrangements will Zheng Xianggong have?"

"Who is Zhao Zhong?"

"A general," Yang Xi originally wanted to say that the Jurchen was really secret, and the Khitan changed the Jurchen to the female straight, but it is unlikely that these Jurchen slaves were bought, and they could buy slaves, but it was impossible to buy various tribes. It seems that the Khitan is gathering these Jurchens, and if they say it, it will cause some trouble, which is not good for themselves, so they can't bear to say it.

Liao Xingzong didn't care, in the Northwest Campaign, the Song Dynasty used more soldiers and generals, and then looked at the four girls and asked, "Did Zheng Lang have sex with you?" ”

"No," the four girls said resentfully, every time they saw Zheng Lang's demeanor, they were envious, and when they heard that they were sent to serve Zheng Lang, everyone was very happy, but Zheng Lang didn't understand the amorous feelings, so he didn't touch them.

"Don't you please him?"

"The slaves don't know."

"In this way, if you become Zheng Lang's concubine, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold, lady." After all, it's the emperor, it's not easy to explain, outside the words, you use all your means to seduce Zheng Lang, whoever makes him feel tempted will be rewarded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liao Xingzong withdrew from the tent and asked Xiao Ala, the prime minister of the Northern Mansion, "Xiao Qing, what strategy do you say this son can use to return to the Southern Dynasty in a year?" ”

Xiao Aro shook his head, that is that easy, unless Zheng Lang flies with wings, and flies high, otherwise ten thousand arrows will be shot down. Liao Xingzong touched his beard, he thought to himself, but he couldn't figure it out.

Liu Liufu stepped forward and said, "If you want to take out Zheng Lang's words, you still break through from the four women." ”

"I think the same way, but this son is a gentleman, and he is not tempted by beauty, so what can I do?"

Liu Liufu said: "The ministers have a way. ”

"What's the plan?"

"At that time, when I was choosing, because this son was decent, all the ones I chose were virgins. Although the intention is good, the charm is insufficient. I'm afraid that they don't know much about sexual intercourse, so the minister thought that some women should teach some intercourse techniques. ”…,

Xiao Aro and the others all laughed.

"In addition, some drugs can be used at the right time, so that the child will sink deeper and deeper......"

If it was in the Song Dynasty, Liu Liufu came up with this plan, it would make the ministers spray to death, but it didn't matter in the Khitan, Liao Xingzong was overjoyed and said: "It should be so, Liu Qing, you send your men to Youzhou to invite a few famous prostitutes to come and teach these women." ”

"Whoa."

Liao Xingzong looked into the distance again and said, "I wonder how the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty will feel when they hear about it after the Song envoy goes back this time?" ”

Several ministers all smiled.

Liao Xingzong said: "One year, I will give this son a year, if he does not surrender after a year, I will not be able to explain to the Southern Dynasty, I can only kill him!" ”

At this moment, he regained the wolf nature of the Khitans, and the violent voice came out, startling a few black sparrows and flying away in shock.

The tent of the Anzasong envoy was filled with gloom.

The candidate recommended by Cui Xian to Wu Yu is also the candidate in Zhao Zhen's heart. Zeng Gongliang is low-key, does not build a party, and several people are not evil to him. He has a close relationship with Zheng Lang.

And Zhao Zhen's thoughts are very tolerant, and it is not inappropriate to escape and do something that is not excessive. The envoy must have an intimate relationship with Zheng Lang and cover it up for Zheng Lang. Of course, this idea cannot be spoken. He was also scared by the minister's saliva.

Wu Yu proposed Zeng Gongliang in the front, and immediately sent Zeng Gongliang as an envoy later. Yu Guoshu took the edict and allowed Zheng Lang to act cheaply. As long as it's not too much, I can do it myself, and this is what I agree. But this line is mainly to find out some of Zheng Lang's thoughts, Khitan dynamics, and then pretend to negotiate to cover for Zheng Lang.

But today, all kinds of news are too unfavorable. (To be continued) RQ
