Chapter 286: The Emperor of Liao, Picket Undercover

"There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

Li Jinyu looked at the military tent that was getting closer and closer, and he was not relaxed as he imagined, but rather serious.

Yelu Alian said: "Viscount Li was also a happy person in the past, how can he be such a mother-in-law today?" ”

Li Jinyu said: "Then I'll say it bluntly, the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and the atmosphere is very abnormal recently." ”

Yelu Alian said: "Why is it abnormal? ”

Li Jinyu said: "No matter how much you attach importance to forming an alliance, as an emperor, you can't go so far to greet you, if it's not intentional, what is intentional?" ”

Yelu Alian said, "Do you see that? ”

Li Jinyu said: "Do you think the Central Plains is peaceful? Those of us who are courtiers don't want to be able to solve all the evil things, it would be good to be able to save our lives! ”

Yelu Alian said: "This is also helpless! ”

The situation in Liao was very similar to that of Wu Zhou.

Wu Zhou was an open and secret struggle between the ministers who supported Li Tang and Wu Zetian, and the Liao State was a conspiracy between the ministers who supported the king of Chu and Yelu Hongji.

Li Tang is orthodox after all, it is normal to support Li Tang, is the king of Chu also orthodox?

The king of Chu is really orthodox.

But he is Yelu Hongji's grandfather, who has two relatively good sons, one is heavy on literature and the other is heavy on martial arts.

At this time, the national strength of the Liao State was declining, and if it continued to use force against the outside world, it was likely to cause disaster, so it was passed on to Yelu Hongji's father, which was Chongwen.

This is of course far-sighted, but the Khitan people already admire warriors and like martial arts, and the queen mother likes her younger son even more and wants to unite her relatives to make trouble.

Unexpectedly, Chongwu's youngest son not only did not listen to his mother, but also informed his brother about it.

Yelu Hongji's father took this opportunity to eliminate a large number of people who disobeyed him, and in order to thank his younger brother, he promised the position of the emperor's younger brother, saying that if I die, you will be the emperor.

When I saw my younger brother very well, I still felt that my son was close when I died, so I passed it on to my son.

After Yelu Hongji succeeded to the throne, on the one hand, he added more rewards to the emperor's uncle as a comfort, and on the other hand, he was quite jealous.

A few years ago, Yelu Hongji's imperial uncle died of illness, and his son Yelu Nerugu inherited the throne and began to compete with Yelu Hongji in the name of his father's imperial brother.

Uncle Huang has gathered a huge amount of power over the years, and he has always been honest and has accumulated countless good names.

Yeluhunki wanted to deal with Yelunerugu, but he had to consider these effects, and Yelunerugu was very difficult to deal with because of his full wings.

It is said that over the years, Yelu Nerugu has privately compared himself to King Wu of Zhou, and his father is naturally King Wen of Zhou.

Not to mention whether this is arrogant or shameless, the current situation in Liao, Yelu Hongji came to pick up the princess in person, either fishing, or his brain was kicked by a donkey.

Considering the emperor's top protection, it is unlikely that Yelu Hongji's brain will be kicked by a donkey.

After all, he goes out to ride a car, and rarely rides a horse!

It can't be caught in the door, right?

Yelu Alian naturally supported Yelu Hongji, and he also saw that this matter was risky, but Yelu Hongji had to do this, and he, a courtier, could only do it.

Hearing Li Jinyu's exclamation, Yelu Alian was also full of helplessness: "What can I do!" ”

……

The Emperor of Liao's personal guard is naturally the most elite cavalry, no less than Zuo Weiwei's iron cavalry.

The tents were neatly organized, and groups of cavalry patrolled between the tents, and there were many steppe archers who looked around and drew their bows and arrows when they saw that something was wrong.

In such an open space, it is basically impossible to get close to the tent silently.

This was also the method used by the steppe nobles to deal with the Assassins.

Several teams of sharpshooters take turns to watch over them, and if they see an anomaly, they can take the opportunity to besiege them.

Especially in this kind of open place, with Li Jinyu's peerless martial arts, he can't sneak into the camp of Liao.

As for what night it is easy to sneak in, and even be able to sneak into the tent, it is even more nonsense, otherwise the civil and military ministers of the Liao State would have been killed by the assassins long ago.

Is marching and fighting, is it child's play?

Thirty miles away from the camp, Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liao, had already led people to greet him, and he was very sincere.

Yelu Hongji is tall, dressed in a red robe, neighing red rabbit horses under his crotch, and his demeanor is quite majestic.

Li Jinyu used to have the impression of him as Xiao Feng's sworn brother, of course, before coming, he must have read the information in detail to understand Yelu Hongji's preferences.

Yeluhongji has three main characteristics:

1. The ears are soft, the loyalty and treachery are indistinguishable, and it is very easy to listen to slander, so they have killed a lot of loyal and good people.

Second, respecting Buddhism and consuming resources, although it has not reached the point of Xiao Yan, it is not too much.

Third, he likes Han culture, his attitude towards the Central Plains is mostly Huai Rou, and he does not want to go to war with the Central Plains, it is said that he is very good at poetry, and the poetry is majestic.

It's just that the three-legged situation of the grassland, as well as a series of accidents, hid his shortcomings, and even turned his shortcomings into advantages.

The ears are soft and indecisive, and they just don't participate in those troubled waters, at least they can protect themselves.

Respect Buddhism, take the opportunity to recruit Buddhist masters, whether it is the Central Plains Buddhism or Tantra, the Liao State has raised a lot of Buddhist masters, as the imperial sword guard.

He liked Han culture, and maintained his rule with the help of Li Tang (Wu Zhou) and maintained the status of the Liao State.

In the eyes of Yelu Nelugu, the king of Chu, Yelu Hongji's approach was very weak, but it has to be said that this approach has brought peace and a lot of support.

If you are the king of Chu in charge, the fate of the Yelu clan will not be much better than that of the Yan clan, or even worse!

After the salute, the people entered the tent.

Yelu Hongji had already prepared a banquet, and orchids sang and danced during the banquet, mixing the intoxicating aroma of fine wine and barbecued meat, which made people intoxicated.

If it is a Han family's dish, the dishes prepared in advance are already cold, and the chef has a saying, which is called one hot top and three fresh, and most of the hot dishes will change their flavor when they are cold.

However, at this time, I ate roast beef and mutton, and I ate it while roasting, and the wine was warm at any time.

The taste doesn't say how it is, and it doesn't say whether the presentation is exquisite, at least it's warm to the stomach.

Yelu Hongji said: "When I was in Liao, I had already heard of the name of the prince of Yujie, and when I saw it today, he was indeed a handsome person like a god. ”

Li Jinyu said in her heart that you praised other me, and praised the little white face, a few meanings, there is a daughter who wants to marry me?

When others say this, Li Jinyu can say that we don't compare our faces with anything else, and when the emperor says this kind of thing, he can only pinch his nose and pretend to be full of firewood.

In short, four words - Your Majesty Shengming!

This is an almighty sentence, no matter which emperor you are facing, these four words are basically true.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Jinyu said with a smile: "The marriage alliance between the two countries, since then, the people have lived in peace, Li Jinyu is the ambassador for marriage, I wish the two countries a smooth wind and rain, and the Son of Heaven is immeasurable, and Haiqing Heyan prays for more than ten years!" ”

Yelu Hongji said: "Well said. ”

Li Jinyu continued: "This mission not only brought the sincerity of harmony, but also brought the respect of the Great Zhou Tianzi to His Majesty, bring the gifts!" ”

There was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and Zhang Huan led ten Jin Wuwei to bring in a huge gold and silver utensil.

Li Jinyu lifted the yellow silk on the cover, and there was a streamer in the tooth tent, the bright lights in the tent were dimmed, and the gems inlaid on both sides were overwhelming.

One side is six feet long, gold inlaid with jade ornaments, and the brilliant pure gold plate is presented in front of the ministers.

The nobles of the Liao Kingdom like gold and silver utensils, and gold cups, golden bowls and gold plates abound, but if you talk about large utensils, at most it is a jade seat and golden Buddha more than a foot high.

It's not that it can't be made bigger, but the gold and silver are heavier, too big to be placed, and difficult to make delicate, but it is better to make it smaller.

Even the Buddha statue in the palace looks like it is golden, but in fact it is gilded and gilded, and the interior is hollow bronze, otherwise the base will not be able to withstand it.

The gold plate brought by Li Jinyu was six feet long, and Yelu Hongji's eyes widened in shock.

Yelu Guozhen even exclaimed: "Divine object, this is a divine object, isn't it a treasure given by the gods?" ”

Yelu Alian said: "This gold artifact is natural, graceful, proud, and it is the best of gold and silver, and it is the best of the ancient times!" ”

Li Jinyu said: "This plate is called the Sea Beast Playing Wave Gold Plate, which is made of 9,000 taels of yellow financial into water fan, and the side of the plate is made of 11,100 pearls with chisel flower and filigree welding process, and is welded on the edge of the plate with gold wire and tung grass, and then with the inlay process, 50 catties of red, green and sapphire are inlaid on the side of the plate. ”

Nine thousand taels of gold is nothing, but it would be too powerful to make nine thousand taels of gold into gold and silverware.

The larger, more delicate and more rigorous the object, the more it can reflect the heritage of craftsmanship.

Why did Liang Xiao want to study the Seven Nights of Canglong? It is because the books brought by the two factions and six ways of the Demon Sect back then were too scattered, and the cultural heritage of Mengyuan was insufficient.

The foundation is not something that can be accumulated in a short period of time, nor can it be done in one or two days, it takes several generations of hard work and the joint efforts of thousands of people.

Li Jinyu was a little proud, and then said: "There is another wonderful thing about this thing, please take a look." ”

Li Jinyu put her hand into the bottom of the plate and pulled it gently.

With a soft "snap", the two sea beasts embedded in the middle of the plate slowly rose from the silver waves, and then separated to the sides, showing sea beasts playing in waves.

Immediately afterward, a golden tree filled with amber, agate and precious stones rose from the plate.

The ministers were stunned by the situation in front of them, and were stunned for a long time to make a cup of tea, followed by the earth-shattering sound of surprise and admiration, and the praise was endless.

It's just that the Khitan ministers know relatively few poems and songs, and what they say is exclamation, and only a few people such as Yelu Alian can say it elegantly.

Some people even showed greed, hoping to be able to completely take this rare treasure for themselves.

Li Jinyu was noncommittal.

This thing is precious, although it is a big country, but to put it bluntly, it is just a piece of gold and silverware.

Dismantled the technology in which it was reversed?

Whoever dares to open this mouth will immediately push him out and cut him down, or even before Yelu Hongji opens his mouth, the ministers can beat him to death.

It can't be said that it is meaningless, but the significance of the gold market is mostly beneficial to the Central Plains.

If it cannot be disassembled, it can only be used as a ritual vessel to worship the heavens and gods, and Yelu Hongji intends to do the same.

Don't forget, this was given by Wu Zhou.

As the days go by, what will the nobles think? I am afraid that there will be more and more people like Jeremian Arman.

If someone wants to imitate casting, the consumption can be imagined, whether that person steals or robs, or embezzles and bribes, in short, it is the Liao State that is delayed.

Another point is to elevate the status of the princess and pro.

Theoretically speaking, this thing is the dowry of the princess of Heqin, you use this thing to sacrifice to the heavens and gods, may I ask this princess of the Central Plains, where should it be?

The position of the queen belongs to the Xiao family, and the seat under the queen, can anyone compete for it?

I don't dare to say that the concubine who is neck and neck, and is half a position behind, even the queen can't say anything.

Moreover, Xiao Guanyin, the queen of Yelu Hongji, is bright and beautiful, introverted and delicate, and talented, but she is not a tyrannical and wanton power-seeker.

The sea beast played with the golden plate, which directly pushed the atmosphere of the banquet to the peak, and everyone pushed the cup to change the lamp, sang and danced, and talked about the wine, so it was not lively.

When many orchids danced, their eyebrows and eyes were quite provocative, so they almost came up directly to give them a hug.

But it was Yelu Hongji who had an order, and all the top geniuses who came were in the Central Plains, and if they could be favored and conceived with their children, they would definitely be rewarded.

Whoever can conceive Li Jinyu's child and be crowned a female official is responsible for the cultivation of the child.

But these are just casual promises, after all, with Li Jinyu's status, what beauty has not been seen?

According to the information from the Central Plains, Li Jinyu has many beautiful women on the beauty list by her side.

The one named Li Yuanfang is also a genius, and he is better than Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Guobao, if Li Yuanfang can leave an heir, it is also an excellent thing.

How can Li Yuanfang understand these twists and turns, and said in his heart, is my face really so handsome?

Why do so many orchids look at me?

It seems that Orchid doesn't like little white faces, otherwise they should all look at Li Jinyu!

The tent of the Liao State camp was full of singing and dancing, and one or two hundred miles outside the tent, soldiers and horses rushed over.

The king of Chu has made all preparations.

Calculate which day Li Jinyu will arrive, and calculate that day will definitely be singing, dancing, and having a happy night.

If you attack in the early morning of this day, even if there is a lot of consumption when you are in a hurry, you can still have the absolute upper hand and completely wipe out Yeluhongji in one fell swoop.

Anyway, both of them are surnamed Yelu, and they belong to the Yelu family's own family affairs, and the royal family's worship masters, as well as the hole card characters of the Yelu family, can't make a move.

The masters around Yelu Hongji are naturally those famous Buddhist and Taoist families recruited, and the top people brought by the King of Chu are naturally the snake spirit and the Chizun Xin!

……

Inside the iron prison car, listening to the joyful sound of singing and dancing outside, and smelling the aroma of wine and meat, Yeluhoru thought in his heart with hatred that he wanted to tear them all apart.

A key quietly fell into the prisoner's car, and Yeluhoru was overjoyed and quickly unshackled his body.

Opening the door of the prisoner car, a big man in black clothes and a masked face was guarding outside, and Yelu Helu said, "Why are you alone?" Why didn't anyone else come? ”

Dahan said: "Prince, our brothers have all been found out by Li Jinyu, and I am the only one left!" ”

The words of the Han were full of hatred, as if he had hated for twenty or thirty years, and he had hated to the bone marrow.

The king of Chu had the heart to be an emperor, and of course He Lu also wanted to be an emperor, and his subordinates often called him "prince".

The rules of the grassland tribes have always been strange, and the princes of many small tribes can also be called "princes", and He Lu used this as a prevarication, and the king of Chu did not care about it.

The king of Chu admires Helu's youngest son very much, if it weren't for Helu planted in Wuzhou, he would be able to inherit the title of king of Chu in the future.

He Lu said: "Hmph! Li Jinyu, when I can grasp the power, I will definitely chop him piece by piece! ”

Dahan said: "Prince, don't be like this, Li Jinyu has a prosperous relationship in Wuzhou, if you really kill Li Jinyu, I'm afraid it will cause more disputes." ”

When He Lu heard this, he was a little relieved.

What he just said was just angry words, testing whether this big man was his subordinate.

This is Helu's agreement to his subordinates, if he makes a mistake in speaking, he must point it out.

Whether it is his own cronies or his father's cronies, they can all give him advice.

Later, this became a means of distinguishing between the real and the fake.

What persuades yourself is that those who don't persuade are either not, or they are only promises of waste firewood, but those who can sneak in here cannot, of course, be waste wood.

Therefore, it is certainly not the one who does not persuade.

He Lu said: "This group of waste, think that if you lock me up, you will be safe, and I will make them pay!" ”

Dahan didn't speak.

He Lu said: "What is the arrangement of the father? ”

Dahan said: "Everything is under the orders of the prince." ”

Helu said, "Isn't there any other order?" ”

Dahan said: "No! ”

When Helu heard this, he was finally relieved.

Because the notes sent in the past few days have been intermittently arranged, those are the secret passwords of him and the king of Chu, and they are still written in Khitan script.

If Dahan said the order, then it must have been faked to deceive him, and it is only now that it can be confirmed that it is true.

He Lu said: "How are you doing martial arts?" ”

Dahan said: "Good at sneaking in." ”

He Lu said: "My father buried a nail beside Yelu Hongji, let's go to him now, I want to make a meritorious deed and re-establish my majesty." ”

Dahan was silent.

He Lu said: "You don't know who that person is? ”

Dahan said: "Prince, time is urgent, if you continue to do boring temptations and waste time in this area, then we will definitely lose." ”

He Lu said: "You don't have any tokens on you. ”

Dahan said: "There is no token in the first place. ”

He Lu said: "You should understand me, the Inner Guard Mansion has used this method three times in order to ask me for information I know, and I have to be cautious." ”

Dahan said: "There are no internal guards here. ”

He Lu said: "Internal guards are everywhere! ”

The two did not continue to entangle, but quickly sneaked into a certain camp according to the name of Helu.

It was the camp tent of Yelu Yixin, an important minister of the Liao State.

Yelu Yixin is Yelu Hongji's confidant, and no one thought that this person would secretly take refuge in the King of Chu.

Yelu Yixin was of such high status that when he infiltrated outside the tent, Heru even dressed up.

Lifting the thick curtain, Yelu was about to say a few polite words, when he suddenly found that it was not Yelu Yixin in the tent, but Yelu Hongji.

"You...... How did you...... No way! ”

"You traitor, I didn't expect it!"

Yelu Hongji laughed triumphantly.

The black-clothed man took off the mask under him, revealing his lion hair and beard, and it was Xiao Yuanshan!
