Chapter 148, looking north.
Yang Peng couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and couldn't help muttering: "You are so exhausted, but can you really save the Liao Kingdom?" Yang Peng sighed and walked towards the courtyard where he was temporarily staying.
While thinking, he walked towards his room. Outside the room, I pushed open the door and walked in. When I raised my head, I suddenly saw Han Bing naked, she seemed to be changing clothes. Both of them were stunned at the same time. Yang Peng's gaze involuntarily fell on her scattered hair, and then moved to the pair of round and straight 'chicken heads', his gaze couldn't help but continue to move down, through the flat and smooth abdomen, and saw naked, Yang Peng only felt a warm current rushing into his nose, as if he was about to bleed out of his nose.
Han Bing suddenly screamed, hurriedly covered his naked body and ran behind the screen, and shouted indignantly, "Why did you come to my room?" Get out! Yang Peng was embarrassed, hurriedly escaped from the room, and then closed the door. When I looked around, I realized that I had indeed gone to the wrong room, and my room was on the other side! Hurriedly rushed over.
I sat down, poured a cup of herbal tea and drank it. But in my mind, I still have the seductive scene just now, a head of loose hair that hides a strong and beautiful face, a tall and fit, a slender waist, and a sudden, angry twin peaks and the round naked body make people fascinated! Yang Peng's heart was moved, and he patted his head vigorously, "His grandmother's!" It's going to kill me! ”
Syllable! The door was slammed open. Yang Peng was startled, and hurriedly looked towards the door, only to see Han Bing, who was full of anger, walking in with a sword. At this time, Han Bing had already put on a black samurai suit, and his hair was tied in a ponytail, but the naked and seductive appearance just now was still echoing in Yang Peng's mind, and it couldn't be lingered at all.
"It was an accident." Yang Peng smiled awkwardly. Han Bing's eyes widened, he raised his sword to Yang Peng, and said angrily with a red face: "You shameless person! Yang Peng sighed, "Although I didn't mean to, after all, I saw you naked" Han Bing was ashamed, "Don't say it!" Yang Peng said: "This thing doesn't want to happen and it has already happened, it's my fault, whatever you do!" After saying that, he looked like he was resigned to punishment. Han Bing hesitated.
Yang Xiong, Shi Ping, Kou Yan and others rushed in, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they were taken aback, and Yang Xiong shouted, "Miss Han Bing, what are you doing?" Yang Peng yelled at everyone: "Go out!" Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Yang Peng's eyes widened, "Get out!" Everyone was shocked, and after all, they didn't dare to disobey Yang Peng's order, and hurriedly exited the room. Shi Ping stood outside and shouted: "Miss Han Bing, if you have something to say, don't be impulsive!" ”
Yang Peng walked towards Han Bing, and didn't stop until his chest touched the tip of the sword, "If only my death can eliminate the hatred in your heart, then kill me!" Han Bing frowned. Yang Peng stepped forward a little more, and the sharp tip of the sword immediately pierced the skin on his chest, and blood overflowed. Han Bing's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly threw away his sword, and the people at the door also exclaimed.
Han Bing yelled at Yang Peng: "You are a bastard! After scolding, he turned his head and ran away with tears in his eyes. Kou Yan, Yang Xiong, and Shi Ping hurriedly rushed in and treated Yang Peng's injuries with all hands and feet. Yang Peng smiled indifferently: "Don't be so nervous, it's just a skin injury!" ”
After the three of them finished bandaging Yang Peng, they were all relieved to see that his injuries were indeed not serious. Kou Yan smiled bitterly: "What kind of trouble is this?" Yang Peng waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay!" Shi Ping said angrily: "Big brother, you have to pay attention to flirting and scolding, how can you move the sword?" Yang Peng couldn't explain, so he smiled perfunctorily.
Not long after the three of them left the room, Han Bing came back, glanced at Chen Xiao with apologetic eyes, walked to the square table, put a small blue and white porcelain vase on the table, and turned around to go out. "Wait a minute." Han Bing stopped and turned his back to Yang Peng. Yang Peng walked up to her. Before he could speak, Han Bing raised his head abruptly and said, "You don't have to drive me, I'll leave tomorrow!" ”
Yang Peng smiled, "What are you talking about, who is going to drive you?" Hey, I brought this on myself! Han Bing remembered the scene of being naked just now, and couldn't help but feel his cheeks, and complicated emotions surged in his heart, is it anger, it doesn't seem to be very strong. Yang Peng smiled: "I looked at your body, I will definitely be responsible!" Han Bing was embarrassed, glared at Yang Peng and said angrily: "Who wants you to be responsible!" ”
Yang Peng smiled, "Then let's settle it!" Don't take it to heart! Han Bing snorted, passed by Yang Peng and walked out of the room. Yang Peng hurriedly turned around and grabbed her slender hand, "Hey, you won't still leave, right?" Han Bing turned his head and said angrily: "Didn't you say that it was flat, why should I leave!" Yang Peng smiled, Han Bing was embarrassed for no reason, shook off Yang Peng's palm, snorted, and left.
His gaze turned back to the capital of Liaoguo. The hall of the princess's mansion was brightly lit, and all the princes and nobles who were closest to Yelu Guanyin in Beijing came. There is Xiao Sese, the concubine of the Jin Dynasty, Xiao Yu, the concubine, and Xiao Yu's brother-in-law Yelu Yu. These three people can be said to be the cronies of Yerutri's cronies, and they are the three most trusted people. King Jin didn't come, after all, if he came boldly as King Jin, it would be too eye-catching.
Yelu Guanyin introduced Yang Peng to everyone: "Everyone, this is what I told you, Jin Yongsan from Goryeo, Brother Jin. The three of them looked at Yang Peng and made a Liao chest salute. Yelutri immediately introduced Xiao Sese, Xiao Yu, and Yelu Yu to Yang Peng. Xiao Sese is a very beautiful woman, with picturesque eyebrows and a natural intellectual temperament; Xiao Yu is a very handsome young man with an energetic expression; Yelu Yu was also a very handsome young man, but his eyes were a little deep. Chen Xiao clasped his fists at them and saluted.
Yelu Guanyin said: "Today's banquet is mainly for Brother Jin to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and at the same time, it is also to discuss some things. After a pause, "Regarding the matter between us and Xiao Tianzuo, I don't think we can be beaten passively anymore!" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "We should have fought back a long time ago!" That Xiao Tianzuo has been getting more and more rampant recently! First ambushed the princess, and then ambushed Boss Kim! One by one, they are nothing more than trying to weaken the power of supporting His Royal Highness the King of Jin, so as to pave the way for King Qin's ascension, which is really dampenable! ”
Xiao Sese frowned and asked, "Could it be that His Highness wants to treat others in his own way?" Shaking his head, "I don't think it's going to work!" He himself has repeatedly sent people to ambush his opponents, how can he not be prepared for this move? Yelu Guanyin frowned and asked, "Isn't Cersei unwilling to fight back against Xiao Tianzuo?" ”
Xiao Sese frowned and said, "Your Highness, I think that the royal law should be used instead of illegal means to deal with Xiao Tianzuo. We can find a way to collect evidence of his guilt and ask His Majesty to bring him to justice! Xiao Yu said angrily: "This is simply impossible!" Regardless of whether the evidence can be collected or not, even if it can, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not deal with Xiao Tianzuo! Didn't someone sue Xiao Tianzuo before? In the end, it's not like it's over! Xiao Tianzuo repeatedly offered all kinds of treasures to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was reluctant to kill him! The only way is for us to find a way to get rid of him ourselves! ”
Xiao Sese frowned and said, "What if the Queen Mother investigates it?" "As long as there is no evidence that we did it, what is there to worry about?" Yelu Yu, who had been silent, said: "There are two keys to this matter, one is how to get rid of Xiao Tianzuo, and the other is how to gather the army in his hands. If you can't do the first point, you don't need to talk about it, and if you can't do the second point, the situation will get out of control. In fact, I think that if I can take this opportunity to push King Jin to the throne in one go, it will be no better! ”
Xiao was taken aback, "How can this work?" Isn't that a rebellion? Even if it succeeds, it will be despised by the subjects of the whole country, and even attacked by a group, and at that time, not to mention that we will die and have no place to be buried, I am afraid that Daliao will also be overturned! ”
Yelu Yu sneered: "Does the princess still think that the subjects of the world are very loyal to the current emperor? Nodding, "No wonder the princess has such thoughts, after all, the princess lives in the palace and rarely has contact with the outside world, I don't know that in today's world, the people are certainly unhappy because of the emperor's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they can't wait to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin, even the princes and ministers, on the surface, dare not say, in fact, who doesn't want the emperor to die early so that he can lead them out of the predicament with a new emperor?" If His Royal Highness the King of Jin can ascend to the throne, it will be a move to respond to the people, why do the subjects and the people disdain it and attack it? ”
Xiao Se frowned and was silent; Yelu Guanyin said categorically: "The queen mother is no matter how mediocre she is, she is also the queen mother, and the courtiers can only advise, how can you kill the king and usurp the throne?" Xiao Si Se nodded approvingly.
Yelu Guanyin sighed, "Hey, this is the only chance to save our Da Liao!" If I don't do this, I really don't know how long Da Liao will last! Glancing at Yelu Guanyin, "His Royal Highness has fought with Western Xia for a long time, he must know the power of the Jin people better than us, and now that Western Xia is reforming, their power will be even more unstoppable in the near future!" When the Jin people attack again, I am afraid that it will be the end of our Daliao! ”
Xiao Yu said angrily: "You are too alarmist!" Yelu Guanyin smiled bitterly. Yelu Guanyin said categorically: "No matter what the final outcome is, we can't do unfaithful and unrighteous things!" If the overthrow of the Great Liao is inevitable, then let my blood be spilled on this land! Yelu Guanyin's words made everyone awe-inspired.
Yang Peng said: "I think everyone is off topic. What we want to discuss is how to get rid of Xiao Tianzuo, which is the top priority at the moment. Xiao Yu nodded thoughtfully; Not bad! If we don't get rid of Xiao Tianzuo, there will be no hope for Da Liao, and we ourselves will not be able to live in peace, we must get rid of this person! Yelu Guanyin sighed and muttered in a low voice, "Put the cart before the horse!" Yang Peng agrees with this, but as far as the current situation is concerned, he can only settle for the next best thing, maybe he can have a good talk with this Yelu Guanyin.
Yelu Guanyin said: "I have already thought about this matter, and in a month it will be the annual field hunting conference. That would be an opportunity to get rid of Xiao Tianzuo. Yelu Yu nodded, "The field hunting conference is very chaotic, and it is indeed an opportunity. However, before that, preparations must be made to control Xiao Tianzuo's army. Otherwise, the situation will be difficult to manage! ”
Yelu Guanyin said: "I have already thought about this matter. In the name of the general of the protectorate, I will send Xiao Duli and others to inspect the northern military camp. When our operation is successful, we will immediately order Xiao Duli to kill the general of Beiying and seize control of Beiying. In order to ensure the success of the plan, I will take out all the money in the princess's mansion to appease the soldiers of the northern camp. "In addition to being the commander of the eastern army of the Liao State, Yelutri, the protector general, also has the right to supervise the armies, so she can send someone to inspect Xiao Fengxian's military camp.
Xiao Yu immediately said: "How can His Highness be able to bear this matter alone?" I am also willing to use all the money to appease the soldiers of Beiying. Xiao Si said: "I think King Jin is also willing." Seeing that he had both expressed his position, Yelu Yu could only say, "Naturally, I can't stand idly by!" Yelu Guanyin was very pleased, "With your support, this plan is half the success!" ”
Yelu Yu asked, "I wonder how His Highness is going to assassinate Xiao Tianzuo?" Yelu Guanyin smiled; I have already arranged for the dead man, and at the field hunting conference, he will kill Xiao Tianzuo! Yelu Yu nodded. Yelu Guanyin glanced at everyone, "Do you have any questions?" ”
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. Yelu Guanyin smiled and said, "Okay, the matter is over, come, drink!" As he spoke, he raised his glass. Everyone raised their glasses one after another, and Yang Peng said: "I wish everything well, and I wish Daliao can turn the crisis into safety!" Everyone couldn't help but feel the same way. Everyone toasted together.
Putting down the wine glass, Yelu Guanyin smiled and said to Xiao Sese, "Cersei, have you made a new song recently?" "The princess of the Jin Dynasty, Xiao Sise, is a famous talented woman in Liao, who has been good at singing since she was a child, and now many songs sung in Liao are from the hands of this talented and beautiful princess. She has a good voice, and any song sung by her is so tactful.
Xiao Sese said with a smile: "I haven't made any new songs recently, but the songs that have been passed down from the Song Kingdom are refreshing!" "I don't know what kind of song it is?" Xiao Yu asked curiously. Although Xiao Yu is a Khitan nobleman, he does not like horseback archery, and he was born interested in the culture of the Central Plains, especially the long-standing art of singing in the Central Plains, which can be said to have reached the point of obsession. In fact, among the Khitan aristocracy, there are many such cases.
Xiao Sese sang: "The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north." The dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost. ......" She sang "Jing Loyal to the Country" that Yang Peng shouted in front of the envoys of the Western Xia Kingdom that day, but it was renamed "Jiangshan Beiwang" by Yang Peng. This song sung by Yang Peng is now sung by Xiao Sese, the princess of Jin, but it has a different taste, less of the taste of drums and horns, but a little more lingering and tactful temperament, giving people the feeling that the woman in the boudoir is watching her lover go out on the battlefield. The yellow sand is long, the iron horse is clanging, and a peerless beauty stands on the top of the mountain and looks at her lover who is gradually moving away.
At the end of the song, everyone except Yang Peng was amazed, and Xiao Yu said excitedly: "It's so good!" It's lingering and heartfelt! Princess, what song is this? Xiao Se said: "It was sent by a merchant of the Song Kingdom, and it is said to be the masterpiece of Yang Peng, the general of the Song Kingdom's Yulin Guard!" The name is "Looking North at the Mountains". ”
Yelu Guanyin's heart moved, and he frowned slightly, revealing a contemplative expression. Xiao Yu asked in surprise: "Is that the Yang Peng who occupies our Yanjing and Yanyun Bazhou?" Xiao Se Se nodded, "According to those merchants, when the Western Xia envoy arrived in Bianliang that day, he was extremely arrogant, and Yang Peng, the general of Yulin Wei, sang this song "Looking North of the River and Mountain" with war drums in front of the Western Xia envoy, which shocked the Western Xia envoy!" ”
Xiao Yu said disapprerovingly: "It must be those Song people who are boasting about themselves!" But Jeruyu said, "I'm afraid not really." This general of the Song Kingdom, Yulinwei, has been invincible since he was born, what a fluke is! If it weren't for the critical moment, Her Royal Highness the princess would have turned the tide, I am afraid that now all the sixteen states of Yanyun have fallen into the hands of this person! And when this person was in Tokyo before, he had a duel with the first warrior of Western Xia as a messenger, and defeated the warriors of Western Xia in front of everyone, which shows the strength of martial arts! This man is an absolute hero! ”
"In today's situation, if you are someone else to lead Yanjing, I am afraid that you will not hesitate to take the opportunity to go on a northern expedition to expand your territory and enhance your strength! However, this man did not move, but instead expressed his friendship with us, and also expressed his willingness to unite with us against the Tanguts! This shows that this person is not only brave and invincible, but also resourceful! Because he has seen that Western Xia is the biggest threat, he needs us, he must unite with us? ”
Xiao Yu frowned tightly and was silent. Yang Peng listened to the people in front of him talking about himself, and felt really weird. Yelu Guanyin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yang Peng is indeed a hero of the world!" He couldn't help but look at Yang Peng, and said with a somewhat confused expression: "Speaking of which, I think Brother Jin's temperament and physique are similar to that general!" Everyone couldn't help but look at Yang Peng. Yang Peng said with a smile: "Hearing you say this, I really want to meet that General Yulinwei of the Song Kingdom!" It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see it when I was in Yanyun! ”
Everyone laughed. Xiao Sese asked curiously, "Why do you talk about this person as if you are talking about the monarch of a country?" Wasn't he a general of the Song Kingdom? Yelu Yu laughed and said, "Princess, do you think that the cowardly and incompetent emperor of the Song Kingdom can control this tiger?" ”
Xiao Sese frowned and said, "According to what he said, isn't he a traitorous villain?" Yelu Guanyin smiled: "You can't say that!" For example, Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Kingdom, didn't he usurp the country from the Chai family to establish the current Song Kingdom? But no one said that he was a traitor, but most people said that he was a hero! ”
Xiao Sisse felt that his brain was a little messy, and he frowned. Yelu Yu looked at Yelu Guanyin and said meaningfully: "Therefore, whether he is a hero or a villain does not depend on what he has done now, but on what he has done in the future!" If she leads the Khitans to defeat the Tanguts in the future and regain her former glory, she is an out-and-out hero! ”
Everyone present heard the meaning of his words, but Yelu Guanyin did not answer the words. The wine is sparse, the lamps are boiling, and the people are scattered. Yang Peng accompanied Yelu Guanyin to send off the three guests and returned to the back study.
Yelu Guanyin was silent for a long time, looked at Yang Peng, his eyes were very firm, "I know what the eldest brother meant, and what the eldest brother said is also very reasonable, but I can't convince myself to betray my brother!" Yang Peng sighed, "Okay, since the little sister has already decided, then I won't say anything more." After a pause, "As for getting rid of Xiao Tianzuo, we still need to discuss it." "What does Big Brother want to say?"
Yang Peng said: "Getting rid of Xiao Tianzuo itself, the little sister has been very thoughtful. However, I think there are two other factors that need to be carefully considered. One is the Queen Mother, if we get rid of Xiao Feng successively, how will the Queen Mother react? Even if there is no evidence, will the Queen Mother really not take action against Xiaomei? If the Queen Mother wants to condemn her little sister, what should she do? Yelu Guanyin frowned.
Yang Peng continued: "Another thing is the little sister's cousin Ye Luchun. Listening to what Xiaomei said, this person is high-powered, prestigious, and has a strong army in his hands. After getting rid of Xiao Tianzuo, how will this person react? I think it's important to communicate with him before I take action. It would not be nice to have some level of alliance with him. If he can't, try to keep him neutral as much as possible. ”
Yelu Guanyin nodded thoughtfully, "Big brother is very right! Yang Peng said: "Now back to the first question. Regarding the Queen Mother, since this matter can't be hidden, I don't think you should hide it from him! After the matter was completed, Xiaomei led the army to present Xiao Tianzuo's crime to the queen mother, and asked the queen mother to entrust the military affairs. ”
Yelu Guanyin exclaimed: "This, isn't this a forced palace? Yang Peng Zhengse said: "This must be done, otherwise after killing the Queen Mother, not only will it not be able to integrate the power of the Liao State, but it will make the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State guess each other, and the situation will be even more out of control!" As the saying goes, the heart is not afraid of shadows, as long as the little sister is dedicated to the public, why care about other people's words? When the major event is completed and the Liao Kingdom is revived, the little sister can re-hand over the authority to the emperor and return to the countryside. At that time, all the criticism will naturally disappear! Yelu Guanyin thought for a while, nodded and said, "I listen to my eldest brother." Yang Peng was overjoyed, "Great! In this way, there is hope for the Liao Kingdom! ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
