Yang Peng thought for a moment, took out a piece of stationery and spread it out in front of him. Seeing this, Yang Erya knew that the eldest brother was going to write a letter, so she hurriedly stepped forward to polish ink for Yang Peng. Yang Peng saw that the ink was polished, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and brushed and wrote on the letterhead.

Moments later, a letter was written. Yang Peng blew dry the ink, folded the letter paper, put it in an envelope, and then handed it to Yang Erya, and ordered: "Send someone to Yangzhou immediately and hand it over to Dunan." Yang Erya took the letter and ran down. Yang Peng sat on the chair for a while, and suddenly asked Zhan Jinguo: "Jin Guo, if Zhao Song Xingshi asks for guilt, what do you say we should do?" Zhan Jin Guo was very strange, "With those armies of Zhao Song, they can't do anything to us, why would King Yan worry about them raising a teacher and asking for guilt?" ”

Yang Peng shook his head and sighed, "Things are not so simple! Then he thought about it: "This matter should not allow Zhao Heng to send troops." If the army is dispatched, it will have to be dealt a head-on blow! At this moment, a herald rushed in with a secret guard, and the secret guard clenched his fists and said, "Master, General Yang Yanzhao has sent a messenger!" Yang Peng looked at the herald, and the herald came forward and knelt down on one knee and said, "The villain greets King Yan!" Then he took off the cloth bag on his back, took out the kind of bamboo tube that Yan Yunjun used to deliver urgent letters, raised his hands high, and said: "General Yang Yanzhao ordered the villain to send a handwritten letter!" ”

The secret guard took the bamboo tube, walked to Yang Peng's side, and presented it with both hands. Yang Peng took the bamboo tube, picked up the sealing mud, poured out a letter, opened the letter, took out the stationery, unfolded it and read it, put down the letter, and said to the herald with a smile: "Go back and tell General Yang, just say I know." As for the resettlement of those people, I will send another person to deal with it, and before that, I will ask General Yang to take care of them for the time being. "Yes!" The herald promised, bowed to Yang Peng, bowed and retreated, and then turned around and walked away quickly.

Yang Erya came back from outside, hugged her fists and said, "The letter has been sent." Yang Peng nodded and said with a smile: "General Yang sent a letter just now, and the Western Xia people have sent back the captive people. Yang Erya was overjoyed, "Great! Yang Peng smiled, "This is the happiest thing for me in this time!" After a pause, he said to Yang Erya: "I plan to go to Tianjing New City tomorrow, you ......" Yang Erya hurriedly said: "I'll escort the eldest brother there!" Yang Peng's original intention was actually to ask Yang Erya to lead his 10,000 soldiers and horses back to the station, but he didn't expect Yang Erya to take the initiative to say so. Subconsciously nodded: "Okay! Yang Erya was overjoyed, and immediately said, "I'll go and prepare!" Then he ran down.

Yang Peng smiled, only feeling boundless tenderness rippling in his chest. Taking a deep breath, he put this tenderness behind him for the time being, and turned his head to Zhan Jinguo and said: "Jin Guo ......" Zhan Jinguo immediately hugged his fists and said: "In!" Yang Peng pondered: "I want you to lead the Xuanjia Army to stay in Xianyang County temporarily," Zhan Jinguo's heart moved, "King Yan is not worried about Liu Xi and them?" Yang Peng shook his head, "That's not it!" However, the land of Weinan has just been included in the territory, I am afraid that there will be some problems, you stay here for the time being to pay attention to the changes in the situation in Weinan, if something happens, you can take immediate action! "Yes!"

Early the next morning, Yang Peng, Yang Erya and others left Xianyang and headed for Tianjing New Town. Zhao Heng, since he reached a peace agreement with Yan Yun, he seemed to be carefree anymore, and handed over all the government to Pang Taishi, Wang Qinruo and Kou Zhun, and he himself was addicted to the beauty of calligraphy and painting, living a fairy-like life. However, such days were broken by a thunderbolt!

Early in the morning, Zhao Heng missed the newly promoted famous prostitute Lun Wan'er, and was about to go out of the palace to meet her. But at this moment, a chief eunuch who was on duty in the front hall hurried over and reported it; "Your Majesty, Wang Qinruo and other adults suddenly came, saying that there is an extremely urgent military situation to report to the emperor!"

When Zhao Heng heard this, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart and frowned, the last thing he was happy to hear now was the so-called emergency military situation. He hesitated for a moment, wanting to ignore that, but he couldn't rest assured after all, so he turned around and walked towards the front hall. When I came to the front hall, I saw that Pang Taishi, Wang Qinruo, and Kou Zhun were all here, and they were facing the gate with their backs at the moment. Zhao Heng asked angrily, "What's the matter?" As he spoke, he walked towards the dragon chair at the top. When the three of them heard the emperor's voice, they hurriedly turned around and greeted: "Minister, meet Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Heng walked straight to the dragon chair and sat down. Wang Qinruo said urgently: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, Yanyun suddenly invaded the entire Weinan!" ......" Zhao Heng was originally quite unhappy, but when he heard this, he was so frightened that he fell off the dragon chair, calmed down, and said in a panic: "Imperial court, hasn't the imperial court already agreed to all of Yan Yun's requests?" Why, why did he suddenly invade south? ”

Kou Zhun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is panicking! He glanced at Wang Qinruo angrily, and said to Zhao Heng: "Lord Wang, this is grandstanding!" Weinan was indeed incorporated into Yanyun, but it was not occupied by Yanyun, but the original Shaanxi and Gansu made Liu Xi and others rebel against the imperial court, and the entire land of Weinan defected to Yanyun! This matter has nothing to do with King Yan, it's just the betrayal of Liu Xi and others! When Zhao Heng heard this, his originally panicked heart couldn't help but calm down a lot, in his mind, as long as Yan Yunjun didn't go south, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Wang Qinruo clasped his fists at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, although this matter is an act of betrayal by Liu Xi and others, how do you know that there is no King Yan behind it?" When Zhao Heng heard this, he couldn't help but be suspicious again.

Kou Zhun shouted: "Wang Qinruo, you always try to attach this matter to King Yan, what is your intention? Wang Qinruo immediately retorted: "Kou Zhun, you always excuse King Yan, what is your intention?" Did you secretly receive any benefit from this one that led to blinding her here? ”

Kou Zhun was furious, and hurriedly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the ministers are to the Great Song Dynasty, to Your Majesty, every day can be learned, and there is absolutely no selfishness!" The peace between us and Yanyun is not easy to come by, and we must not be suspicious because of the betrayal of Liu Xi and others, otherwise it will be a disaster for my Great Song Dynasty! ”

Wang Qinruo sneered: "Kou Zhun, the so-called traitor seems to be loyal, I'm afraid it's just a person like you!" "Then he hugged his fist towards Zhao Heng;" Your Majesty, Yanyun wolf's ambition has long been revealed, this time they annexed Weinan, and next time I am afraid that it will be the whole of Xichuan! Where is it after Nishikawa? I'm afraid it's the whole Jiangnan! At that time, His Majesty lost all his land, how could he still reign over the world? ”

Zhao Heng couldn't help but be moved. Kou Zhun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to Wang Qinruo's instigation!" Then he pointed at Wang Qinruo and gritted his teeth and said: "This person has an ambiguous relationship with the Khitans, and what he has done is nothing more than to provoke a dispute between us and Yanyun, so that the Khitans can profit from it!" He turned to the emperor and clasped his fists and bowed: "Your Majesty's holy eyes can see through the gnats thousands of miles away, and you will definitely be able to see through the conspiracy of this thief!" ”

Zhao Heng couldn't help but be suspicious again. Wang Qinruo pointed at Kou Zhun and scolded angrily: "You traitor, bewitching the king, intending to trap the king in a place where you will never recover, you really should be cut with a thousand knives!" Kou Zhun also scolded: "You thief, the king treats you well, but you are willing to betray the king for the small profits given by the Khitans, you are really an unprecedented traitor!" "The two of you scolded me, I scolded you, the quarrel was so red that you almost had to start your hands.

Zhao Heng was quarreled by the two of him, and he only felt that what the two of them said seemed to make sense, and he really didn't know what to do! Seeing that the two of them were arguing more and more fiercely without the slightest intention of giving up, they couldn't help but hate it and shouted: "Shut up!" ”

The two of them were startled, and quickly closed their mouths, and stood with their hands down, feeling a little apprehensive in their hearts. Zhao Heng looked at the two of them, and didn't know what to say, he looked at Pang Taishi, who had been silent, and asked, "Pang Aiqing, what do you say should be done in this matter?" Wang Qinruo and Kou Zhun looked at Master Pang together, and there was a hint of begging in their eyes.

Master Pang said hesitantly: "This matter, this matter is really quite tricky!" This, what the two adults said is very reasonable, and the minister thinks that this matter has to be decided by His Majesty! "Well, the old slippery head kicked the ball back to the Emperor. Emperor Pang Taishi said that he didn't say anything, he was depressed, hesitated for a moment, and didn't know what to do, "Rong Zhen thinks about this matter carefully!" He glanced at the three of them, "Wait a minute, stand down!" Without waiting for the ministers to respond, he got up and left through the side door, and several eunuchs followed him quickly. The three of them bowed to the side door where the Emperor had left; "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" After maintaining a bowed posture for a while, the three of them straightened up until the emperor had already disappeared.

Kou Zhun and Wang Qinruo glanced at each other, snorted at the same time, and walked towards the door at a distance of five or six feet from each other, as if the other party had an infectious disease for fear of getting on them. Master Pang watched from behind, squinting his eyes and smiling slyly.

The emperor came to Liu Guifei's bedroom and met Liu Guifei. When Concubine Liu heard that the emperor was coming, she hurriedly came over to greet her. Seeing the emperor's very troubled appearance, he couldn't help but cautiously ask, "Your Majesty, is something wrong?" ”

The emperor sat down and was stunned for a while, and Liu Guifei saw that the emperor's face was sometimes angry, sometimes scared, and sometimes worried, and her heart became even more strange. The emperor suddenly asked Liu Guifei: "Aifei, do you think that King Yan will tear up the peace treaty and suddenly go south?" Liu Guifei's heart suddenly burst out, and she subconsciously said: "It will never be like this, Your Majesty must have heard some rumors, right?" ”

After listening to Liu Guifei's words, the emperor's worries couldn't help but subside a lot, and then he told Liu Xi and others about the defection of Liu Xi and others to Yang Peng in the land of Weinan. Immediately, Zhao Heng told Wang Qinruo and Kou Zhun their views, and wanted to hear the suggestion of this concubine.

Liu Guifei frowned and said, "Then Wang Qinruo is really ill-intentioned!" This incident was obviously a rebellious act of Liu Xi's rebellious ministers and thieves, but he said that it was an act of aggression by King Yan! Wang Qinruo wholeheartedly wanted to provoke a fight between the imperial court and King Yan, which really made people wonder if those rumors about him were true! ”

Zhao Heng asked in surprise: "Are there any rumors about Prime Minister Wang?" Liu Guifei hesitated, "It's not easy for the concubine to say anything about this matter, but since His Majesty asked, the concubine can't know about it and not report it!" Zhao Heng said: "Why do you have so many scruples about the concubine, for me, the concubine should know everything and say everything!" ”

Liu Guifei bowed down and responded, "Yes." He stood up, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines often hear the legends of the servants below, saying that Wang Qinruo came back from the Liao State in a strange way, and what he did afterwards harmed the meritorious heroes, urged peace, and provoked disputes between the court and Yanyun. Therefore, everyone said that Prime Minister Wang was afraid that he had already taken refuge in the Khitans, and he was sent by the Khitans to our dynasty to be a traitor! ”

Zhao Heng frowned, and said: "This, although it is a little suspicious, but, but to say that Prime Minister Wang Cheng is a traitor sent by the Khitans, this, this is unlikely!" ”

Concubine Liu hurriedly said: "This is also what the concubine heard, and she will tell it for Your Majesty's reference!" The concubine naturally didn't dare to say that he must be a traitor! However, Your Majesty, regarding the matter of Weinan, the concubines thought that they could not listen to Wang Qinruo! That Wang Qinruo's previous actions were to unite with the Khitans and deal with Yan Yun, but I am afraid that this time he has the same mind, Your Majesty must not fall into it! "There is another point, Your Majesty, Yanyun has developed from the sixteen states of Yanyun to the present, it has become a climate, and nearly one million Yanyun troops can be described as invincible, but I am afraid that the Khitans, Western Xia, and Tubo are afraid of Yanyun and dare not confront it, but they come to fight Your Majesty's idea, Your Majesty must not be fooled and make wedding clothes for others!" ”

Liu Guifei's last sentence deeply touched Zhao Heng, although Zhao Heng was suspicious of Yan Yun, but he didn't dare to really tear his face with the invincible Yan Yun Army, but he was on guard against the Khitan and other forces, as Liu Guifei said, I was afraid that someone would use this matter to pry the court and Yan Yun desperately, and they would take advantage of the fishermen, and then the situation would be out of control, and it would be too late to regret it!

Zhao Heng frowned and said, "What Concubine Ai said is extremely true! This incident may really be the rebellious act of Liu Xi and these villains, and it has nothing to do with Yan Yun! However, because Yanyun is getting stronger and stronger, I am really worried that in the future, they will finally have the ambition to go south in the future, and then it will be troublesome! ”

Liu Guifei said: "Your Majesty, King Yan is Your Majesty's courtier, since the court has reached a peace agreement, how can he come to embarrass the court!" Your Majesty must not be reborn with suspicion and cause great disaster! ”

Zhao Heng frowned and nodded. After being silent for a while, he let out a long breath and said very annoyingly: "Hey, these things are really upsetting! Just don't think about it! He stood up, walked up to Concubine Liu, held her hand, and said to Concubine Liu: "I have something to do, I can't accompany Concubine Ai!" Concubine, have a good rest! After speaking, he let go of Liu Guifei's slender hand and turned to leave.

Liu Guifei sent the emperor out of the palace, looking at the back of the emperor, her beautiful eyes were full of resentment and helplessness, she naturally knew that Zhao Heng was not in a hurry to do something, but was in a hurry to go out of the palace to fool around with that Lun Wan'er. In fact, this Liu Guifei is beautiful, even compared with Mu Guifei, it will not be much inferior, although the prostitute Lun Wan'er is famous, but it is still inferior to Liu Guifei, the reason why Zhao Heng is so infatuated with Lun Wan'er is nothing more than the nature of men to steal fish, on the other hand, Liu Guifei is a famous lady after all, and the ability between the bed linens can never be as coquettish and seductive as a famous prostitute!

In the next few days, Wang Qinruo and Kou Zhun took turns to go to the palace to talk about the matter, and Zhao Heng was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

At this moment, a messenger sent by Liu Xi arrived to explain to Zhao Heng their unavoidable hardships for defecting to Yanyun. The emperor asked angrily: "You betray your father and betray your lord to seek glory, how can you still be so arrogant?!" The envoy said: "Just because the people of Weinan Li believe that only King Yan can protect the safety and well-being of Weinan, they recommend Liu Xi, Guo Hao, and Sun Hao to take the lead and raise the land of Weinan to join Yanyun!" The fathers and villagers of Weinan have been suffering for a long time after the war, and they feel that only King Yan can protect them, so they have such a decision, please forgive your majesty! It's not that we don't want to be loyal, it's really that the court can't protect the people of Limin, and the people have no choice but to go to the strong to protect themselves! ”

Zhao Heng was speechless by the other party. Wang Qinruo sneered: "It's really shameless, so rebellious, but it seems to be very compelling!" ”

"Tang Taizong once said that the people are noble and the monarch is light, and naturally the will of the people is the greatest; What's more, we didn't betray the Great Song Dynasty, isn't King Yan the prince of the Great Song Dynasty? We just asked to be assigned to the rule of King Yan, not to betray the Great Song Dynasty, the so-called betrayal, where to start! ”

Seeing that Wang Qinruo was about to speak again, Kou Zhun hurriedly rushed in front of him and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, since things have come to this point, it is better to assign Weinan to Yanyun, and it can be regarded as Your Majesty's move to conform to the will of the people!" The emperor was very depressed.

At this moment, Huang Men rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Yanyun envoy is here. Everyone was shocked when they heard that the Yanyun envoy was coming, and Zhao Heng said in a panic: "The Yanyun envoy came suddenly, I don't know, I don't know what the intention is?" None of the ministers could answer, Kou Zhun hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to panic, and King Liangyan won't have any deviant behavior!" ”

Zhao Heng calmed down a little and said to Huangmen: "Spread the Yanyun envoy!" Huangmen made a promise, ran down, and sang a promise: "Your Majesty has a will, spread the Yanyun envoy to meet you!" ......" These words passed all the way, and then I saw a civil official in an official robe striding forward, it was Bai Tong, the deputy Xuanwei envoy of the two Huai appointed by Yang Peng!

Bai Tong entered the main hall, saw the emperor, and bowed to him. Zhao Heng saw that the other party had been polite for a few weeks, and his originally uneasy heart couldn't help but let go a lot, and he raised his voice: "Aiqing doesn't need to be polite!" Bai Tong shouted thank you, then stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is hereby ordered by King Yan to meet Your Majesty and explain the matter of Weinan!" ”

Zhao Heng was taken aback, a little at a loss, looked at the ministers on both sides, and failed to get the slightest help, and asked Bai Dao in a low voice: "I don't know who King Yan is, what does it mean?" ”

Bai Tong said: "King Yan specially sent his ministers to ask His Majesty for guilt, although the merger of Weinan into Yanyun is not what King Yan wants, King Yan is purely forced to do so, but after all, this matter has not been made clear to Your Majesty, and please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

Seeing that the other party said so politely, Zhao Heng's uneasiness in his heart couldn't help but subside, and said: "Since King Yan doesn't know about this matter, even if he can't be offended, I will forgive King Yan for not guilty!" ”

"On behalf of His Royal Highness King Yan, I would like to thank Your Majesty Longen!" Then he knelt down and bowed: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" When Zhao Heng saw this scene, his vanity was greatly satisfied, and he secretly thought: In fact, King Yan does not have a disobedient heart, and he is still very public to me! Fortunately, I didn't listen to the slander, otherwise the war would have been a disaster, and I really don't know how to end it!

As soon as he thought of this, he smiled and said, "Aiqing, please get up quickly!" Bai Tong thanked him loudly, stood up, and pleaded with his fists: "In addition to apologizing to Your Majesty on behalf of King Yan, you should also ask Your Majesty to comply with the will of Weinan and hand over the land of Weinan to the jurisdiction of King Yan. ”

Kou Zhun immediately took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, King Yan is so public, if Your Majesty doesn't show kindness, wouldn't it be cold?" Master Pang also said: "What Lord Kou Zhun said is right! Your Majesty, in this way, the world is at peace, and there is no strife, and there is really no better! The Emperor frowned and nodded. Wang Qinruo originally had the intention to stop it, but seeing that Taishi Pang also echoed Kou Zhun's words, and the emperor was still moved by what Bai Tong said, it was not easy for him to come out and go against his will.

The emperor glanced at Bai Tong and said with a pleasant face: "Since the people of Weinan want to be under the jurisdiction of King Yan, I will agree to their request!" Bai Tong immediately bowed: "Your Majesty is wise and benevolent, and Yao Shun is not as good as you!" The emperor smiled and said to Master Pang: "Pang Aiqing, it's up to you to draft the holy decree." ”

Master Pang bowed and promised. The Emperor was overjoyed and said, "I am very pleased that this matter can be resolved in this way!" All the ministers praised the emperor for his wisdom, but Wang Qinruo was depressed in his heart, he didn't expect Yang Peng to be so treacherous, and came to this trick of retreating into advance, playing a stupid emperor around, and he was really sold and helped count the money! Wang Qinruo sighed with emotion, but he was helpless.

Yang Peng received a report sent by Dunan in Tianjing New Town, and learned that the emperor had issued an edict to assign Weinan Zhuzhou County to Yanyun's jurisdiction, and couldn't help but smile slightly. Put down the letter, walk out of the study, and look at the stormy sky in a daze. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, a three-point tear through the sky, and the sky suddenly became darker, followed by a thunderclap, and then a torrential rain poured down, spilling on the earth with a loud noise, making people feel as if they were in the midst of a stormy wave. Yang Peng looked at this mighty sky, and couldn't help but feel his heart fluctuate.

Yang Erya walked from the rain curtain wrapped in a raincoat, came to the steps, took off the raincoat, shook off countless water droplets, and hugged her fists and said: "Big brother, little sister has sent letters to various places according to your instructions. Yang Peng nodded, seeing that Yang Erya's hair was covered with raindrops, he naturally dusted it off for her, and Yang Erya looked at Yang Peng gently.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
