Chapter Seventy-Eight: Drink Calmly and Drink Happily and Wave the Golden Bowl (2)
Thinking of this, Ye Pei was relieved, she was not restrained, and strode back to Xiao Shinan's handsome tent in a chic manner.
Xiao Shinan saw Ye Peizhong coming back, smiled slightly, and said, "Is the county lord still satisfied with everything I prepared for you?" ”
Ye Pei didn't have a smile on his face, and said coldly: "King Nanping is bothered!" ”
At this time, a table of wine had been set up in the tent, and Xiao Shinan saw that the wine and food had been placed on the low table, and waved his hand to the attendants in the tent, and they came out. In Ruoda's handsome tent, only Xiao Shinan and Ye Pei remained.
Xiao Shinan approached Ye Pei and asked, "The Ye family's sister is still angry with me?" ”
Although Xiao Shinan's tone was kind, he had an aggressive momentum, which made people dare not look directly, let alone disobey.
"Don't dare!"
Ye Pei thought in his heart: "This Xiao Shinan is really in the Liao Kingdom, and he is majestic, even Zhao Zhen is afraid that he does not have such a momentum." I'm going to see what he's going to do. ”
Under the low table full of wine and food, a thick felt cushion was spread, Xiao Shinan sat on the ground, poured wine in the golden bowl, and placed it in front of Ye Pei.
"There are many offences before today's battle, Xiao Mou punished himself with a cup, please don't blame the Ye family's sister!" As he spoke, Xiao Shinan drank it all and lit up the bottom of the bowl.
Xiao Shinan saw that Ye Pei was still standing still, and said, "Is the Ye family's sister thinking that this wine is not good?" Although the army is not as good as Bianliang City or Xijin Mansion, this wine is indeed the sorghum mellow wine I specially prepared, fragrant and smooth, very delicious! ”
After half a day of fighting in midsummer, Ye Pei was already so thirsty that his lips burst out, and his throat seemed to be burning. She didn't think about it anymore, sat down cross-legged, picked up the golden bowl in her hand, and drank a bowl of sorghum wine.
It turned out that this wine had been soaked in well water, and it tasted cold and refreshing, like nectar moistening Ye Pei's entire viscera. This golden bowl is the size of a palm, with a lotus petal pattern on it, which is very exquisite, and Ye Pei drank a bowl of wine before drinking it dry. She threw the empty bowl on the desk and said boldly, "Happy! ”
Xiao Shinan saw that Ye Pei drank it all, smiled, and said, "I know that the Ye family's sister is still that bold character!" ”
"Brother Xiao, you know me, but you calculate me like this, ignore me and respect you, and call you this brother!" Ye Pei puffed out his cheeks and said.
Xiao Shinan said guiltily: "It's not right for my brother!" I'll punish myself with one more drink! As he spoke, Xiao Shinan drank another bowl, and then he sighed before saying:
"The two countries used troops to attack cities and plunder land, hundreds of thousands of soldiers fought in front of the battle, and tens of millions of people were displaced. Could it be that the girl can't bear to see millions of corpses and blood flowing thousands of miles? ”
Ye Pei thought of the tragic scene of corpses thrown in the wilderness and corpses on the river when Yizhou was flooded, and he couldn't help frowning and sighing.
Xiao Shinan looked at Ye Pei, knowing that she couldn't bear it, and after a pause, he said again: "Only by being sorry for my sister can I save the lives of thousands of soldiers and the happiness of hundreds of thousands of people." Only in this way can the death penalty be minimized and the two countries truce as soon as possible. ”
Ye Pei listened to Xiao Shinan's words, and immediately changed from his previous hatred to admiration.
"I underestimated Brother Xiao, my realm is far less than Brother Xiao!" As he spoke, Ye Pei drank the golden bowl in his hand again, "It's me who should make amends!" ”
Xiao Shinan said: "We are each for the motherland, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong, but the people of the world are not guilty, and they should not be tied up and suffered." You and me

The plan for the two is to convince their lord as soon as possible to stop the war. ”
Ye Pei thought of the hard defense of Daizhou before and the difficulty of capturing Yizhou, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, raised his glass and said to Xiao Shinan: "I salute Brother Xiao with a cup, I respect the great love in your heart, and the righteousness is thin and cloudy!" The two of them clinked glasses and drank together.
Ye Pei said: "Back then, the Liao State suddenly fought against the Song Dynasty, and I strongly persuaded the officials to stop the war by force, but now I think about it, I am still too young and vigorous!" ”
Xiao Shinan said: "What the Ye family sister said is not wrong, if there is no strong force as a backing, I am afraid that the war will continue for many years." In the past dynasties, the world is won by force, the world is safe by culture, and the world is determined by the great road system! Civil, military, courtesy, and righteousness are the foundation of the country! ”
Ye Pei exclaimed: "Brother Xiao's pattern is so big, I, Ye Pei, can't look at it!" ”
Xiao Shinan said: "It's a pity that our Liao State has always admired martial arts, and only when it came to the Empress Dowager Chengtian did it change to the Han system, open scientific examinations, emphasize etiquette and righteousness, stabilize the political situation of Liao, and make the people develop and the country strong." Fortunately, Liao Shengzong followed his mother's legacy and continued to promote the sinicization of the Great Khitan Kingdom.
But now that the Empress Dowager Fatian is in power, those royal families who oppose sinicization immediately clamored again, wanting to return to the primitive tribal system and conquer the surrounding countries by force, thinking that this is the credit to Da Liao.
Do you know that this will last forever? They have never considered the people of Daliao, never known the suffering of the soldiers, and regarded human life as a mustard, how can this last? ”
The more Xiao Shinan spoke, the more angry he became, and the golden bowl in his hand was almost deformed.
Ye Pei shook his head, "Da Liao has the problems of Da Liao, and Da Song has the disadvantages of Da Song. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin released the military power with a cup of wine, which was originally to avoid the tragedy of the death of a cunning rabbit and the cooking of a hunting dog. But to the present, military generals have no military power, and even so, they are often suspected and suppressed.
Most of the people who led the troops to fight were civil ministers, or even eunuchs, and the soldiers did not recognize the generals, the generals did not recognize the soldiers, and the troops were weak and weak. As soon as the Liao State entered the Great Wall, there were countless ministers in the court who wanted to move the capital to the south, how could such a weak court not make people feel distressed! ”
Ye Pei said that his heart hurt, and he also clenched his fists and pounded the table.
"I saw that the Great Song Emperor Zhao Zhen was by no means a cowardly person! He is cowardly on the surface, but he is a descendant of the Zhao family, and he must have strong perseverance and firm beliefs! Think about Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, Chen Qiao's mutiny, the yellow robe, and the successive extermination of Jingnan, Wuping, Houshu, Southern Han and Southern Tang, and the unification of the Southern Dynasty, how majestic? He is also a kind-hearted person, and he has set up an ancestral motto not to kill courtiers. Song and Liao both belong to China, and they should coexist peacefully, seek benefits for the people, and take the peace and stability of the people in the world as their own responsibility! ”
"Well, the Song Dynasty originally hoped to negotiate peace with victory, and I would like to revise the book to inform the officials of the front-line war and promote the peace process."
Xiao Shinan nodded happily.
Ye Pei said again: "I don't know how sure Brother Xiao is in Liao Xingzong?" ”
Xiao Shinan frowned slightly and said: "Now Xingzong Yeluzong is really young, and all political affairs are handled by the Empress Dowager Xiao Yunjin. This Xiao Yunjin was originally a slave maid in the account of the Empress Dowager of Chengtian, and because of the grace of the Holy Sect, she gave birth to two brothers, Yelu Zongzhen and Yelu Chongyuan, and was named a noble concubine.
Zong Zhen originally passed on to the Empress Dowager Qi Tian to support, but who knew that when the Holy Emperor was funeral, the two palaces stood together, and the Empress Dowager Qi Tian was benevolent, but she was calculated by Xiao Yun, and now she has lost the opportunity to govern. If I talk about peace, I can only go to Zhongjing and Fatian
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The Queen Mother asks for help. ”
Ye Pei said: "I know that Brother Xiao is the descendant of the Great Liao, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Chengtian, and the cousin of the Empress Dowager Qitian. If the Empress Dowager Qi Tian is in power, I am sure that it will be easy to negotiate peace, and now that the two palaces are standing side by side, and the Empress Dowager Qi Tian is not in charge, will the Empress Dowager agree to negotiate peace? ”
Xiao Shinan sent out a trace of bitterness in his heart, he knew that Liao Shengzong would not be so confused, and the two palaces would stand side by side, unless Xiao Yunjin tampered with the edict. But even if there were all kinds of speculations in his heart, Xiao Shinan had no evidence, and the Empress Dowager Qi Tian was under Xiao Yunjin's control, so he was not allowed to act without permission.
His cousin, the Empress Dowager Qi Tian, is a soft-hearted person, who writes good poems and plays a good pipa, but in terms of political means, she is far inferior to Xiao Yunjin, a servant girl!
Now Xiao Shinan can lead the troops to fight against the Song State in front of the formation, it is nothing more than Xiao Xiaoxian, who Xiao Yunjin trusted, was seriously injured and Xiao Xiaoli died tragically, and the neutral generals Xiao Xiaomu and Yelu matched others and others in the northwest and did not return.
However, Song Liao was not without a chance to negotiate peace, the Liao State had been hit hard, and the rear of the Liao State was too busy to take care of itself. Xiao Yun is unkind and easy to kill, he originally had no ability to govern the country, but he wanted to monopolize power, and there were many descendants of the royal family who were not convinced.
She killed ten people and killed hundreds of people, but it was difficult to block the mouths of Youyou, she was already a reckless soldier, and she wanted Xiao Xiao to take back the military power in the hands of the royal family in the name of war. However, the battle situation was not as she expected, not only did she suffer heavy losses in troops, but also the voices of opposition to her ruling inside and outside the court became stronger.
How can we force the Empress Dowager Fatian to negotiate peace now? Xiao Shinan kept calculating in his heart, not only did he want to negotiate peace with Song Guo, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to bring down Xiao Yunjin and help Xiao Bodhisattva regain power! Will Ye Pei be his strong reinforcement?
Ye Pei didn't have the complicated mind of Xiao Shinan, she just wanted to end the war as soon as possible and return to Bianliang City as soon as possible.
Ye Pei saw that Xiao Shinan was distracted, and asked again: "Brother Xiao, what plan do you have?" ”
Xiao Shinan said slowly: "I think the Empress Dowager Fatian has to negotiate peace!" Her brothers Xiao Xiaoxian and Xiao Xiaoli have been defeated successively, and now that the civil turmoil in Liao is not peaceful, it is difficult for her to fight again! ”
Ye Pei said: "That's the best!" ”
"I wish there would be no more wars in the world!" Xiao Shinan said with a sigh.
"May there be eternal peace in the universe!" Ye Pei said heroically holding the golden bowl.
"The universe?" Xiao Shinan asked puzzled.
Ye Pei nodded and said, "Well, the universe!" There are clouds in "Huainanzi": "The upper and lower four directions are called Yu, and they have been called the universe throughout the ages", this universe is the name of all things in heaven and earth, infinitely wide, all-encompassing, and infinitely long! ”
Xiao Shinan exclaimed, "My sister is knowledgeable! Xiao admires it so much! As he spoke, he raised the golden bowl in his hand, "I salute this universe!" Will you join me in protecting the peace of this universe? ”
Ye Pei said proudly: "I am willing to work with Brother Xiao to protect the peace of this universe!" ”
As they spoke, the two clinked glasses, drank them all at the same time, and both slammed the golden bowl on the table, and laughed at the same time! It's really a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and I come to drink and wave the golden bowl!
The two of them ate some barbecue, dumplings, and milk cakes, and pushed the cup to change the cup and drank for an afternoon. This sorghum wine is very refreshing to drink, and the actual stamina is very great, and the huge golden bowl is drunk by two people bowl after bowl, and they are drunk at dusk.
