Chapter 44 Catching the Wind

As soon as he heard the word "catch the wind", Yelu Yu immediately panicked, on top of Liangshan, he had already been treated to gain three pounds, if he entered Juye City and then repeated the same mistakes, but how could people afford it? How embarrassing!

If Yelu saw this kind of high-spirited and bright festival that looked at his appetite as nothing, if he fell into the officialdom of the later generations, he would not be able to mix it for a day, and those public servants of the people who were forced to tie their mouths by high pressure had to eat him alive.

Yelu Yu, who escaped the catastrophe due to the dislocation of the times, saw that he was in the blessing and did not know the blessing, and he shouted and complained to Ximenqing: "Lord Fuhrer, the small one is the one who came to announce the letter of state to your country on behalf of the Great Liao Emperor - if you blindly indulge in the wine pond and meat forest, I am afraid that you will miss the big thing!" ”

Ximenqing said with a smile: "The envoy is alarmist - it's just a home-cooked private dish, why do you want to say that?" Come, come, messenger, and follow me into the city. ”

Yelu Yujian, who was against extravagance, couldn't cover the sky with one hand, so Zuihou could only follow it and follow Ximenqing to the city. Along the way, I thought: "Ximenqing, what is the idea?" What a big deal is the alliance between the two countries? Like the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the fortunes of the country for a hundred years are all in this meeting - but Ximenqing doesn't seem to have taken this major matter to heart, is he too underestimated my Daliao because I was defeated by the Jurchens a few years ago? ”

Thinking of the narrow-mindedness, Yelu Yu looked sideways and squinted, dissatisfied with Chaosheng.

Entered Juye City, although this city was once the seat of a state, but it did not receive the Honglu Temple set up by distant people, so he had to send Yelu Yujian and his party directly to the former prefect's yamen. There are already a lot of people waiting here, in addition to Kan Yue, who Yelu Yu knows, Ximen Qing introduced them one by one, both civil and military, all of whom are the pillars of the Chinese Federation - Yelu Yu suddenly had a little hope in his heart: "Such a lineup, or after the wine and dinner, will we talk about business?" The corrupt officials in the Central Plains like to talk about things only after they are full of wine and food? ”

After the introduction, everyone looked up for a long time, each returned to their seats, Ximen Qing gave an order, and immediately opened the tortoiseshell, the banquet set up hibiscus, the soup turned the peach Lang, and the wine was full of golden waves, and the grand public funds were eaten and drunk. Under the instruction of Ximenqing, all the officials came to toast to Yelu Yujian, but unfortunately Yelu Yujian is a heroic man in the north, and his drinking skills are excellent, although there are many people who pour wine, they can't take advantage of him at all.

It's just that this wine is sad, although it has not turned into lovesick tears, but it is turning the river and stirring the sea in the stomach; And the turmoil in Yelu Yu's heart that he wanted to do something right but couldn't do it was a hundred times better than drinking.

After three rounds of drinking, Ximen Qing said with a smile: "There is wine but no songs, it is not a good feast - and please invite the envoy to enjoy a few songs of the Qing Dynasty, but how is it more flavorful than Liao?" ”

For the group of female musicians who came up, Yelu didn't bother to take a look. No matter how lustful he is, when faced with this diplomatic dilemma, where is the romantic interest in chasing laughter?

However, in the melodious silk and bamboo, as soon as the singer of the lead singer spoke, she couldn't help but make Yelu Yu's heartstrings tremble. It turned out that the singer sang - "Don't stuff the dark red dust on it, don't hurt how difficult it is to be afraid of people." It is better to choose virtuous ministers on the road of treachery and evil, and you must lie down and taste the donation of brave and strong men, and you can go to the north of the desert and sleep on Yanyun. ”

After singing the song, Ximenqing applauded and cheered, and smiled at Yelu Yu and said, "Messenger Mingjian - how is this song?" ”

Yelu Yu was still in a state of shock inertia, and he couldn't say anything coherent for a while. Ximen Qing smiled, applauded lightly, the sound of silk strings suddenly turned, and the singer before the feast sang like a voice, and sang again-"The prime minister came to the sword and shouted, and the thousands of officials were silent. What is the extent of cultivating external troubles, and the punishment of loyal ministers is unknown. Relatives live side by side, and they are private minions. Pity the emperor of Qin in the past, and still look forward to peace in the palace. ”

When Yelu Yu heard it, he changed color even more - the deep meaning contained in this song is not enough to be humane with outsiders!

These two songs were sung, but there were ** cheers at the feast. Yelu Yu looked at it coldly, and recognized that the red-faced man was Kan Wanlin, a resident member of the House of Commons of the Chinese Federation, and heard Kan Wanlin shout: "This song is really sung - not only is it sung well, but the lyrics are also well written!" Isn't it Siquan's brother's handwriting? ”

However, I Wanlin is a rough man, I don't understand a word, but I don't know what I sing? ”

Yelu Yu heard this, and snorted coldly in his heart: "These contemptible husbands, who don't learn and have no skills, are really spicy, which really makes people laugh!" ”

But I heard Ximen Qing say: "Brother Wanlin, what virtue can I have, how can I write such a wonderful speech?" These two poems are both created by Xiao Sese, the concubine of today's Daliao, and there is a deep meaning in them! ”

Kan Wanlin perked up when he heard this, and asked, "But I don't know what the meaning is?" ”

Ximenqing glanced at Yelu Yu and said with a smile: "Brother Wanlin Xian doesn't know, there has been a big traitor in Liao over the years, called Xiao Fengxian, his two sisters are a queen and a concubine, brother and sister are expensive, and they have won the favor and reliance of the Liao lord, and they are the privy envoys of the Northern Court above 10,000 people under any one person, and they have entered the king of Lanling County. ”

Kan Wanlin squirted out the wine in his mouth with a "poof", and coughed: "King Lanling?!" With such a handsome and brave character, how could he allow such a traitor as Xiao Fengxian to be juxtaposed? ”

Ximen Qing said: "No way, people say that they are juxtaposed, where is there room for you to protest?" A few years ago was 1112, that is, the second year of Tianqing of the Liao State, the emperor of the Liao State was fortunate to mix with the river fishing, the beginning of the fish feast, according to the old practice, the birth of the Jurchen chief within a thousand miles of the person to go to the palace to meet. At the head fish banquet, the emperor of Liao ordered the chiefs of all ethnic groups to sing and dance in turn, and when it was the turn of Yan Agu to fight, his people just sat upright and looked at it, and excused themselves and said no. The emperor of Liao repeatedly ordered that he would not obey the battle. After the banquet, the emperor of Liao said to Xiao Fengxian, I didn't expect this Akuda to be so domineering! Just find an excuse to kill him. Xiao Fengxian didn't know whether he had received black money or what, but he had a kind heart, saying that Ah Guda was just a rough man, he didn't know etiquette and righteousness, and there was no big mistake, and killing him would hurt the hearts of all departments to Mu Guihua. If there is really a different heart, what can the Jurchen tribes in the land of projectiles do? The emperor of the Liao State obeyed Xiao Feng's preface, and the matter was stopped - who knew that when the judgment continued, he suffered from the chaos, and finally raised an army against the Liao, and now it has become a big trouble for the Great Liao State! ”

Kan Wanlin shouted: "Xiao Fengxian's guy is not far from Cai Jingtong Guan of the Song Dynasty!" ”

At this time, Kan Yue smiled and said, "Brother, your knowledge is poor. Although he is also a traitorous minister, Xiao Fengxian is just a courtier who does not know how to govern the country and will only lose the country, and he is not as talented as Cai Jing, but you exalt him in your words! ”

Ximen Qing also smiled: "As Brother Lotte said, what is Xiao Fengxian's true appearance, except?" Except for the deceived Emperor of Liao, everyone is clear, so Concubine Wen Niangniang did the first poem "Song of Satire Song" that she sang just now, hoping that the Emperor of Liao would change his mind after listening to it, but unfortunately it was a pity that it was made by the blind man. ”

Yelu Yu heard that Ximen Qingyan had more disrespect for the Liao lord, although he and Xiao Fengxian were not the same as the ice charcoal, but his own emperor still had to protect him, so he interjected: "My Tianzuo Emperor, the most holy and bright, just didn't notice it for a while, and was blinded by the clouds. ”

Ximenqing nodded: "The messenger is loyal, but he can sweep away the floating clouds and cover the sun-only hateful floating clouds are also thicker, and they can't be swept away." Concubine Wen Niangniang saw that the emperor of Liao did not listen to the advice in her poem, and still ignored the government and politics, and the three brothers Xiao Fengxian still controlled the government and did not want to resist the Jin, but demoted some ministers who advocated resisting Jin from the court, causing the Liao Dynasty to be in danger and inexplicable grief and indignation, so she took advantage of the fact that Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty was in power and finally died in Qin, and wrote a "Song Epic" - that is, the second song sung by Fang Cai - to satirize Xiao Fengxian. ”

Everyone shouted "oh": "I see! But Jeruyu sighed deeply and lowered his head. The affairs of the Great Liao State have fallen like this, and there is no brilliance on his face as an envoy.

Ximen Qing said again: "Concubine Wen Niang Hui Lan Xin, the meaning of the poem is ingenious, the second song "Song Epic" in the 'Prime Minister', alluding to the traitor minister Xiao Fengxian, the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, and the 'King of Qin', the sword refers to Xiao Fengxian's nephew Qin King Ye Luding who wants to ascend to the throne of Liao - everyone, please think, when Zhao Gao put Qin II Hu Hai on the throne, Qin State died because of this, and now if the traitor Xiao Fengxian set up Qin King Ye Lu as the emperor and completely controlled the Liao government, what will the Liao State do? ”

Everyone in the audience listened, and they were all in an uproar, and Yelu Yu saw it like a thunderbolt hitting the top.

Because the Khitan people are nomadic people, people know their mother but not their father, and under the influence of matriarchal politics, the wife (empress) of the khan has a certain amount of political power, which creates a situation in which the state power is controlled by the imperial family (khan) and the descendants. The distribution of power is that the imperial family is in charge of the imperial power (when the emperor), the descendants are in charge of the queen (when the empress), and the queen's father and brothers are in charge of the power of the prime minister of the northern province (the second person below the emperor and above the hundred officials). For example, Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji founded the country, he was in charge of the imperial power, the queen Shu Luping's family was in charge of the rear power, and the two prime ministers of the Northern Mansion - Xiao Dilu and Xiao Agu were only the brothers of the queen Shu Luping. Xiao Wen, the queen of Taizong Yelu Deguang, is the daughter of Xiao Dilu, and Xiao Sage, the queen of Sejong Yelu, is only the daughter of Xiao Agu.

With the passage of time, the struggle for the power of the Liao court gradually became fierce, and the two sides of the competition were the eldest uncle of the state (i.e., the clan of Xiao Dilu) and the uncle of the state (i.e., the clan of Xiao Aguzhi), and the emperor of the Liao State worked between them to consolidate his own imperial power.

In this dynasty, the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi's concubine Xiao Se Se was the eldest father of the uncle, and the queen Xiao Duoli and the concubine Xiao Guige and Xiao Fengxian were all the young fathers of the uncle, and there was a Jin King Yelu Ao Lu Hu and Qin King Yelu Ding on both sides, and the battle for power once again opened a tragic prelude.

Therefore, Yelu Yujian, as the think tank of Concubine Wen's side, came south and tried to help Ximen Qing, but today he saw Ximen Qing singing at a feast, and he was very aware of the situation in Liao, how could he not be frightened? This is exactly what it is:

The envoy should not ask for Han Xin, and the head of state is the ovary. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
