031 Planning
Because of Yelu Nan and Qi Zhifeng's sudden visit, Wan Yanxi had to leave Yeluertu's study, but he was unwilling, and some words had not had time to be detailed with Yeluertu, although Yeluertu refused his request to send troops to Jinguo, but he thought it was still very promising, and he took the initiative to send it to the door and did not take advantage of it, which was not in line with the consistent style of the regent of Liao.
It's just that what this Yeluertu is planning, Wan Yanxi can't see through it, and he doesn't know the bottom in his heart. In the past, when his father and brother were still there, he was a little prince who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and didn't care about everything, and the people in power of various countries, generalissimos, generals, etc., were just familiar with each other, and what their temperament was and what their means of doing things were, which I only learned when I fled later.
The understanding of Yeluertu is limited to his high position in the Liao State, he is an ambitious person, and his means of doing things are simple and neat, and most importantly, he also hates Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping. It was precisely because of this that he accepted the advice of Brother Wen and went to Liao to ask for help. Unexpectedly, Yeluertu didn't let him see the King of Liao, so he refused his request to borrow troops.
Wan Yanxi stopped, raised his head to look at the heavy snow, and sighed again, Yeluertu's reason for rejecting him is also very sufficient, the snow disaster in Liao this time looks more serious than imagined, he has been here for a while, and this snow has not stopped. Linhuang Mansion, which is the capital of the Liao Kingdom, has frozen to death, let alone other places!
It seems that it is more appropriate to wait for him to come back from Xia and see the progress of the disaster in Liao.
However, in order for Yeluertu to relent, he had to find a few helpers for himself, and a few helpers that Yeluertu liked. It's just that the younger generation of Liao doesn't treat him very well, or the group of people led by Yelu Nan and Qi Zhifeng look at him with a hint of disdain, but it is these people who are very popular with Yelu Ertu. That Yelunan had always treated him as if he didn't exist, and had never looked at him with a straight eye. And that Qi Zhifeng, the two of them have met three times, and they have been sarcastic by that kid every time.
Thinking of this, Wan Yanxi suddenly felt very distressed about his current situation, the so-called tiger falling in Pingyang was bullied by dogs, this is true, he is a dignified little prince of the Jin Kingdom, since he was a child, others have lowered his eyebrows and obeyed him, when has he been so snubbed and wronged! If it weren't for that bastard of Wanyan Zongcheng, how could he have fallen to the point where anyone can mock him now!
That Qi Zhifeng is just a Han man living in Liaodi, relying on his father being the supreme head of the Southern Privy Council, and his mother being the daughter of the Yelu Sect, he can be proud in front of him, not to mention those real children of the Yelu Sect. If it had been placed in the past, he would have taunted him back, but now that he is under the roof, he has to bow his head, and there is no second way to go except forbearance.
Wan Yanxi thought about his thoughts along the way, and unconsciously walked back to his place where he was staying in the Regent's Mansion.
Since Wan Yan Xi revealed his identity and found Yelu Ertu, he moved into the Regent Mansion with his only attendant Wan Yan Dan, and he didn't want to, but Ye Lu Ertu persuaded him that this Linhuang Mansion is not a peaceful place, although Wan Yan Zongcheng is difficult to protect, he will not forget to install eyeliner here. In case someone finds out something, let alone borrowing troops to fight back, it is very likely that it will be difficult to protect itself.
"Little master!" Wan Yan Dan saw his little prince walking back from outside in despair, so he hurriedly stepped forward, thanked the little guy who sent him back, and helped Wan Yan Xi into the main house. Sweeping away the snow from the two people and taking off the big coat outside, Wan Yan Dan lowered his voice and said, "Little Master, why did you come back so soon?" Didn't we try to persuade Lord Jerod to accept our request? Could it be ...... Did he agree? ”
"The Lord Regent has guests to entertain, and I only thanked him for a moment and came back, and I haven't had time to say anything else to the Lord Regent."
"Little master, this is not in a hurry. Look at the situation in Liaoguo, even if you want to help us, you don't have the energy now, this heavy snow has made the whole Liaoguo anxious, and you can't spare your hands to take care of other people's affairs. Little master, it's better to be restless, wait a little longer! ”
"I'm not in a particular hurry, I've been waiting for so many years anyway, and it doesn't matter if I wait a few more days." Wan Yan Xi poured himself a cup of hot water, raised his head and looked at Wan Yan Dan, "Let you inquire about the situation of the mission, how are you going?" Is there anyone who can be used by me? ”
"Little young master, I have inquired clearly, as far as my subordinates know, the special envoy Lord Xiao Fengqi and you, the deputy envoy, are both decorations, and they have no right to speak, and the real ones in charge are still the sons of Yelu Nan and Qi Zhifeng."
"It's really amazing, a Han man actually stepped on the head of the Liao people, such a shameful humiliation, Xiao Fengqi's arrogant person, can he bear it, can he do nothing?"
"If you can't bear it, you have to endure it, whether it is your background or prestige, Lord Xiao Fengqi is not as good as that Prince Qi Zhifeng, not to mention, there is also the son of Qi Zhifeng and the two sons of Yelu Lan and Ye Lu Nan to support him, Lord Xiao Fengqi is a rat bogey, no matter what he does, he is afraid."
"Is Xiao Fengqi's background bad? He's not a Shaw kid? Although it is not as noble as Yelu's disciples, it is much better than a Han Chinese. ”
"Little young master, Prince Qi Zhifeng is not a pure Han." Wan Yan Dan sat at the bottom of Wan Yan Xi, "The three generations of the Qi family are in charge of the Southern Privy Council, on the surface, the Southern Privy Council is all Han people, but where can the Liao kings and regents of the past dynasties rest assured that the Han people will take care of themselves?" That's not messed up, naturally people are arranged to go in and keep an eye on it. Therefore, the Qi family, who was in power in the Southern Privy Council, came into their eyes. The Qi family has been in charge of the Southern Privy Council since they were in charge, that is, the great-grandfather of Qi Zhifeng's son, and the wives they married were all daughters of the Yelu clan. ”
"In other words, there is not much blood of the Han people of the Qi family, and they are basically all Yelu blood?"
"Exactly." Wan Yan Dan nodded, "Compared with the Xiao family, the regent is more willing to get closer to the Qi family, and he is also willing to trust the Qi family more." ”
"What do the Han people say? Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years. Wan Yan raised his eyebrows, "I can understand Yeluertu, if I were him, I would probably do the same, just in case!" The three of them are at odds, and it's a good thing for us. Although I came out of nowhere, I think Lord Xiao Fengqi is willing to talk to me. I happened to learn from him about the situation of the nobles of the Linhuang Mansion, and to find out the soft underbelly of the regent, so that I could prepare for things when I came back. ”
"Little Master thinks he will say?"
"He is now in a state of extreme loss, he could have become the leader of the younger generation immediately, but he was suppressed by the older generation, his previous efforts fell short, and in addition, the Yelu clan was instinctively jealous of the Xiao family, and his situation was very difficult. At this time, someone is needed to talk to him and relieve the boredom in his heart. And I am the one who can communicate with his heart, our experience is similar, and there are a lot of things to talk about, and when we arrive in Jinling, we will inevitably become confidants. ”
"That's what the little master said." Wan Yan Dan nodded, "But my subordinates think that the regent will not be very relieved to send him out, and he will definitely be monitored, and the little young master will talk to him, will it ......?"
"Eh, don't worry, I have my own way. By the way, how was the meeting with Brother Wen arranged? ”
"I'm afraid that after arriving in Jinling City, I will have the opportunity to meet with Gongzi Wen."
"Why?" Wan Yan Xi frowned, "Our first common foothold should be Jiaping Guancheng. ”
"The subordinates went down to see the departure time, we have to arrive a few days earlier than Gongzi Wen, and when the Jin delegation arrives at Jiaping Guancheng, we have already entered Jinling."
"Is this completely staggered? Can't you stay in Jiaping Guancheng for some time? ”
"Judging from the past situation of the Liao mission, they only stayed in Jiaping Guancheng for half a day, and after lunch, they were about to set off, and they would never spend the night in the city. Moreover, this year's departure time is later than in previous years, so you can't stop at all. ”
"Never spent the night in the city?" Wan Yan Xi put the hand stove on the small table next to him, stood up and sat down next to Wan Yan Dan, "What a great opportunity this is to explore the details of the city, will that person in Yeluertu give up?" Wan Yanxi waved his hand, "Forget it, this has nothing to do with our plan for the time being, let's put it aside first, what is the situation in Yiqing Mansion?" How long can that father and daughter hold on? ”
"It is estimated that there is no problem in holding out until the little master calls back." Wan Yan Dan looked at his little prince, "My subordinates have a question, I have always wanted to ask the little young master, this Wan Yan Ping and you have always had a good relationship, don't you plan to let her continue to lead the troops after you go back?" ”
"Say you're smart, why did you suddenly ask such a stupid question. When I was young, Wan Yanping treated me very well, just like my own sister. I thought we could get along so affectionately, but her father's rebellion ruined everything. Overnight, she went from my favorite sister to my most hated killer in my life. Adan, if you were me, would you let such a person hold military power? ”
"However, the letter sent to her by the little young master didn't say ......"
"That's just a lie to her, and you can't take it seriously at all." Wan Yanxi sneered, "Wan Yanping, I still know about this person, because her kung fu is good, so she is very conceited, and everyone who feels inferior to her should bow down to her, including me." The generals in the army are inferior to her, and she is a clan, and the position of marshal is naturally hers, no matter whether it is her father or me sitting on the throne, her life will not change. Since she thinks so, then I will follow her thoughts to appease her, anyway, it is just talking, so that she thinks that even if she rebels with her father, she is still the sister who is worthy of my trust and trust. ”
"The little master didn't intend to let her go, so what was the purpose of doing this?"
"The purpose? When she is extremely disappointed in her stupid father, she will choose me steadfastly, and will faithfully assist me as king. When the two sides meet each other, I can send her to deal with Yan Zongcheng, and in front of me, take Yan Zongcheng's head to prove her loyalty. In this way, Wanyan Zongcheng felt the taste of being betrayed by his loved ones, and Wanyan Ping also had a perfect experience of slashing his closest relatives, isn't this the best of both worlds? ”
"The little young master is wise, and his subordinates admire him!"
