For Song and Liao, Zhao Jiu and Yelu Dashi's close ministers knew that they had the habit of correspondence, but no one knew what was written, and of course they didn't dare to snoop, but Duan Zhixing, who sent the letter this day, was a little strange, and he had been on an errand in front of the emperor for a few years, but it was rare to see Zhao Jiu's expression, like a sigh of relief, more like sadness.

However, Zhao Jiu didn't ponder for too long, and then ordered Pei Yong to take the pen and ink, put the letter from Yelu Dashi into a box, and then came to the eucalyptus, thought about it, waved it, and then said to Duan Zhixing: "When the ink is dry, you can pack the letter and send it back." Duan Zhixing naturally said yes, but when he saw that Zhao Jiu didn't care about the spring cold, he went out of Funing Palace directly, and he didn't know where to go with the King of Jingsai.

When Duan Zhixing pretended to be a letter, he inevitably saw Zhao Guan's strong royal pen reply: "The reeds on the bank of the old capital are blooming, and Brother Dashi can return slowly." ”

Duan Zhixing thought that some time ago, Zhao Song moved the capital to make a big order, and on the other hand, he did not forget to send medicine to the main envoy of the Western Liao Kingdom, which was becoming more and more serious, including those hard-won mountain ginseng, although he didn't understand the cause and effect for a while, he couldn't help but think of a sentence: heroes cherish each other.

Two legendary monarchs, one only based on half of the country, reorganized the old mountains and rivers and set off again, fighting for their lives again and again, and finally destroying the gold and snow shame, governing the Yellow River and moving the capital, and everyone in the four seas was not afraid to obey. The other traveled thousands of miles, became stronger and stronger, and re-established the country in a foreign country full of Turks, all of whom had outstanding vision and extraordinary courage, Duan Zhixing obviously just sent and received a letter, and actually had some wonderful epic meaning.

The times create heroes, and heroes create the times, how it is, only waiting for future generations to comment.

It is said that Yanyun is eight thousand miles away from the bank of the Broken Leaf River, even if it is the left army of the imperial camp that has just been renamed the Imperial Forbidden Army for 800 miles and rushes to the capital of Ningxia, and then handed over by Liang Jiaying to the envoy to Xiliao, eating sand all the way to the capital of the Western Liao Kingdom, Bala Shagun City, and forwarding the reply letter to Yelu Dashi, who can no longer get up on the sickbed, it is already late spring in April, even if the spring in the Western Regions cannot be concealed.

At this time, the male lord of the generation was already skinny and skinny, and the black aura on his rough face even Liang Jiaying, who was not familiar with medical science, felt that this was a bad omen, but when he heard Yelu Dashi holding the letter in his hand, he showed a bitter expression on his face, and said: "I was weak for a while, and I wrote such a letter to Zhao Song's official family, but I taught him to read jokes, but his bearing was something I didn't expect." People, in the end, the flesh is mortal, how did I say Yanshan back then, when I am about to die, I can't even avoid vulgarity! ”

A group of important ministers around him changed color together, and Xiao Ta was almost crying, and said, "Your Majesty, please, don't make such ominous words." ”

If Zhao Jiu is the founder who led the public to be reborn from the ashes, and his prestige is monstrous, then Yelu Dashi has traveled thousands of miles and retained the remaining Khitan veins, and he also enjoys a supreme position in the hearts of these people. Seeing him make such ominous words, not only the queen, but also many important ministers could not hide their sorrow.

Xiao Huli, the king of the Sixth Academy of Western Liao and the marshal of the soldiers and horses, who had just taken office, reluctantly smiled and said, "Your Majesty must not say such depressing words. Otherwise, how should the ministers deal with themselves? Now is the time for the grass and green warbler to fly, and when you are well, the prince is still waiting to go to the horse race with you. ”

"Life and death have fate, destiny has permanence, we have known these truths since childhood, why should you deceive yourself in front of the noble envoys of the Song Kingdom?" Although Yelu Dashi's face was poor, his mind was extremely clear, and he said to Liang Jiaying: "Ambassador Liang, I have been in a hurry for 12 years when I saw each other back then, this time please wait a while, and I will reply to Zhao Guan's family for the last time." Speaking of which, at that time, you also talked about the scenery of Lingnan, and I also thought in my heart that after the country settles down, the north and south of the river may still be able to see horses, but now there is no chance. ”

If it weren't for the fact that Yelu Dashi had become this withered appearance, Liang Jiaying would have thought about what you mean, and still want to invade my Great Song Dynasty? But he is obviously just a person who is dying, and it is a pity that he can't visit the great rivers and mountains. It's okay to say anything, I can only say goodbye and wait.

Xiao Lili and the others knew that the correspondence between these two legendary monarchs had never been allowed to be seen by others, and they were about to take people to retreat, but they didn't want Yelu Dashi to keep him, and said: "Hu Lira, you go and bring the Taishi slave, and after I finish writing, let him hand it over to that Liang Jiaying, I have something to tell you." ”

Xiao Lili's expression was dazed, and he hurriedly agreed, but Xiao Ta's steps to leave without smoking were obvious, and he wanted to turn around and say something, but he saw that his husband had closed his eyes tiredly, and after all, he didn't say anything and left slowly.

This Khitan Yelu Taishinu, who had been a personal guard for the fourth prince of Dajin, was stabbed in the face by the Great Song Dynasty, and was almost tossed to death by Zhang Rong, the king of the Great Song Dynasty, was ordered to pack the letter and was about to leave, Yelu Dashi suddenly stopped him and said, "Taishi slave." ”

"The sinners are here." Yelu Taishinu hurriedly knelt down and said.

"Why bother, you and I are of the same clan and the same clan, if you talk about blood relatives, you are still the second son of Emperor Jingzong, Liang Wang Longyou, you are more authentic than me, the Yuanzhi clan, don't be afraid, I just want to say that in the past, the mountains collapsed, and you and I couldn't help ourselves, and it was a last resort to drive slavery for the Jurchens. But now that you have a home here, you must remember that you are the descendants of the white horse and the green ox, don't be willing to fall, keep this hard-won family business, and don't be a lost dog anymore! ”

Rao is such a sleek character of Taishi Nu, hearing these words, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, he couldn't express any loyalty, and his head slammed on the ground, and then he walked away resolutely.

When he left, Yelu Dashi stretched out his hand and called, "Come here." ”

Xiao Lili didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly stepped forward, clenched the master's hand, half-knelt on the side of the couch, and said, "If Your Majesty has any orders, the minister will do it!" ”

"Don't be like this, we grew up together, it's just that people are dying, and we think too much. In the future, you will be assisted by the left tower and Yilie, my Khitan heroine regent is a tradition, and Yilie is a child...... I just hope you can do your best in our difficult feelings of trekking through the mountains and rivers across the desert, as for how far it has become, I won't blame you, it's just a pity, after all, I can't go to Linhuang Mansion with you, Yanshan and Yihun to bathe again, and sing a sentence of Pujiacang! ”

Xiao Lili finally couldn't help it, tears were in his eyes, he didn't know that Yelu Dashi had faintly noticed that he and Xiao Ta Buyan had been recently, and with Yelu Dashi's own absolute core, no longer lucky, there had begun to have all kinds of frictions. To tell the truth, Xiao Lira and Xiao Ta Buyan are very familiar with each other, they are already from the same family, they have their own love for incense, they can't help but support each other in a foreign country, and they have formed a family of children and daughters a few years ago, but all this is under the premise of Yelu Dashi's health. Since ancient times, the heroine sat in the hall, and the important ministers entrusted the orphans, and there were few people who were safe, but Yelu Dashi sacrificed everything to the west for 30,000 miles, trekked through mountains and rivers across the desert, fought hard day and night, and never wanted to watch the country die in internal fighting, so there will be this move to know the reason. Even I don't want to call myself anymore, as if I am still the young clan that was just the top student in high school decades ago.

"What Your Majesty said is that the queen has her own great talent, and the ministers receive your great favor, a lost dog, with you to the west, to be crowned marshal, and to be ranked as the king. In this life, there is no way to repay, when you are in charge of your state affairs, you will be orthodox in the future, if there is the slightest deviation, you should not die well in life, and you will not be able to return to your hometown and be buried in death! After speaking, he also took a few steps back and kowtowed heavily.

Yelu Dashi smiled bitterly and said; "It doesn't have to be that way, it really doesn't have to be that way." I used to be so proud, but today I have to learn the way of those concubines, play with people's hearts, think about ambition, it's ridiculous, I don't know what will happen to Zhao Jiu in the east, when he is dying!

Yelu Dashi's illness lasted for another summer under various legendary elixirs, but everyone could see that he was suffering a lot more, just to lay a solid foundation for this great Liao!

This summer, the prince Yilie didn't know how many times he was reprimanded, and once in a fit of anger, he actually smashed it on him at once, although he was pulled away by the prince slave, but it still scared the child to cry.

"Cry, you know crying, do you know that last year's statistics were registered, there were only 240,000 households in this dynasty, do you know what the concept of dominating the realm of thousands of miles with the root of 240,000 households is, you are crying, waiting for the Seljuk Turks to attack, can you cry to death their khan!"

Xiao Ta couldn't stand it anymore, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, take care of your body, the child is only thirteen years old, and the concubine will slowly educate him." ”

"Thirteen, is thirteen young? Emperor Shengzong was only twelve years old when he succeeded to the throne, and the tower was not smoking, you told me, can you do the step of the Empress Dowager Chengtian? ”

The Empress Dowager Chengtian is the famous Xiao Xuanxiao Yanyan.

"The concubine doesn't dare to say that she has the ability of the Empress Dowager Chengtian, but there is still one breath left, she will protect the country, lead the warriors with bows and arrows, and protect the shelter that His Majesty brings us with health." Xiao Ta said solemnly.

Yelu Dashi sighed heavily, drove everyone else out, and said, "Queen, help me to blow the wind by the window." ”

Don't you know what you're doing? Can you get up! But Xiao Ta Buyan still didn't say anything, drove away the others and did so, Yelu Dashi got up magically, and really walked to the closed window in the past, but Xiao Ta Buyan had already felt that her husband's weight had been terrible, but after many years of husband and wife, she still opened the easternmost huge window, Yelu Dashi slightly felt the evening breeze at the end of summer, looked at the grassland with abundant water and grass, cattle and sheep, and finally showed a smile, and said: "Ta Buyan, I have worked hard in the past few months, but after all, there was good news a few days ago, you know?" ”

Xiao Ta Buyan has been fully regent, how could he not know, but for the sake of her husband's happiness, she still said: "What good news, Your Majesty also told the concubine." ”

"Li Gang, this bastard, finally couldn't hold on anymore because he was sick, and was forcibly sent back to his hometown in Fujian by Zhao Jiu, and in the future, our Khitan descendants don't have to suffer from this old man's anger anymore! Hahahaha...... cough cough" Xiao Ta Buyan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly helped her husband to sit on the Persian stall, and said: "Your Majesty, don't be happy and sad, Li Gang is just an old man, and he is not worthy of you." ”

"What's not worth it, how arrogant and domineering this old man has been all these years, you think I will always advise you not to be angry, in fact, you are very aggrieved, but there is no way, now it's okay, I can go with peace of mind."

"Your Majesty, you say ...... again"

"Okay, the tower is not smoking, don't deceive yourself, listen, after I left, I have already talked to the Zhao Song official family, and the bones are buried in Yanyun, which is also my last selfishness, Xiao Weili has followed me for thirty years, I know best what his character is, and you don't have to argue with him too much, after all, in the land of the four wars, I am not pedantic, but he is more suitable than you to lead troops to fight, with the prestige I left, what you have to do is to ensure the loyalty of these hometown people, and at the same time continue to communicate with the Great Song Dynasty, this ally has to continue."

Xiao Ta Buyan knew that her husband was explaining the aftermath, although she was sad as a bitter chrysanthemum, she still endured the pain and wrote them down one by one, Yelu Dashi statue was back to the light, this night, she said a lot of words intermittently, a while in reminiscence, a while in the confession, the Khitan relics, the hegemony of the West Sea, the advancement of Confucianism, the relationship between Song and Liao and even a lot of trivial matters in childhood, Xiao Ta Buyan listened at first, and finally had to pick up the charcoal on Yanjing's side and write them down one by one, she already felt that this was the last word that her husband left for herself, and she didn't want to omit a word.

Yelu Dashi didn't know when he fell asleep, in his dream, he seemed to see his young self, the champion Congrong, wearing iron and fish scale armor, riding a strong horse, the horse's hooves stepped on the flat ground at the foot of Yan Mountain, flying and galloping, coming to the side to examine the old self.

"Don't you want to leave? I've been thinking about it for twenty years! ”

Jerodishi struggled to sit up, raising his hand to grab his younger self.

But the young self rode away on horseback, and suddenly the Jin soldiers invaded the south and conquered Zhongjing, and some of their unwilling people supported the emperor's uncle Yelu Chun as the emperor and continued to resist, and this Chunchun elder also came, still looking like a good old man, and said: "Good job, well done, come with us." ”

Immediately afterwards, a fully armored Song man appeared in front of him, Yelu Dashi took a good look at it, and then said with a smile: "Zhao Guanjia, at such a good age, do you want to be accompanied by Dashi Huangquan?" ”

Zhao Jiu in the dream was still as energetic as he first saw it, and said: "I sent Dashi Linya to the west back then, but now what about sending it again?" After that, he hummed and sang, which was clearly his favorite "Iron Blood Pill Heart".

Yes, the big waves wash the sand, the bright moon in the wasteland, there will be an end.

Yelu Dashi finally rode his favorite horse, ran to the sun from the Broken Leaf River, with the wind blowing, a body of illness gradually disappeared, and disappeared with Xiao Ta Buyan, Xiao Lira, Yilie, Yelu Nuge....

This Da Liao is handed over to you.

There were cries all around, and in reality, the concubines and courtiers also found that Yelu Dashi had swallowed his last breath and began to cry.

The sun that has shone on the Khitan for nearly twenty years has set.

At the end of the summer of the seventeenth year of Song Jianyan, Yelu Dashi, the founding emperor of Western Liao, died at the age of forty-eight, and the temple name was Dezong.
