Chapter 402, King Yan's Grace

"Yan Wang Ling. Canonized Li Ruolan as Mrs. Hanhai and canonized Li Yuanzhuo as Marquis of Mingsha,......" read all the way, except for Li Ruolan who was named Mrs. Hanhai and Li Yuanzhuo who was named Mingshahou, the rest of the royal family members were canonized with lower-level titles. Everyone was overjoyed and worshiped Yan Wang Longen together. Li Ruolan doesn't need to be introduced, as for Li Yuanzhuo, he is the eldest elder of the Western Xia royal family, and he is the old guy who flattered Yang Peng just now.

Li Tongren continued: "King Yan has a special grace and gives each of you a residence in Tianjing New Town. The crowd bowed down to Long again. Li Tongren said: "Since you have been named a Yanyun noble, you will return to Tianjing New City with King Yan in the coming day!" The crowd happily agreed, and a few felt that it seemed to be a means of house arrest, but the thought was only fleeting in their minds, and they did not dare to think about it again.

Li Tongren bowed to Yang Peng and stepped aside. Yang Peng raised his voice and said: "After the business is over, now everyone has a good drink!" Everyone bowed down and bowed together: "King Xie Yan! Then they all returned to their seats. Li Ruolan picked up the wine glass and toasted to Chen Xiao, her beautiful eyes flowed, her style was charming, and she looked seductive. A veteran of flowers like Yang Peng, seeing her like this, couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and picked up the wine glass to do it first as a respect. Li Ruolan's beautiful eyes lit up, she raised her head and drank the glass of wine, and glanced at Yang Peng with a hot look.

followed Li Yuanzhuo to toast, and then one after another, the members of the Western Xia royal family rushed to toast Yang Peng, and all kinds of flattering words came and went, touting Yang Peng to be comparable to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors! The atmosphere of the banquet was undoubtedly pleasant, but Li Qingxia was always frowning and not moving, neither drinking nor eating, nor talking, but on top of this noisy hall, she seemed to be outside. ……

Unknowingly, when the wine lamp was boiling, everyone sent Yang Peng out of the main hall. Yang Peng walked towards the gate of the palace, his face was blown by the night wind, and he immediately sobered up a lot.

Seeing that Yang Peng was far away, Li Tongren straightened his waist and turned to everyone: "Everyone must remember the grace of King Yan, and must not have the slightest intention of transgressing!" Everyone agreed, and Li Yuanzhuo swore solemnly: "King Yan treats me with the grace of heaven and earth, and we will naturally die in return!" Others chimed in. Li Tongren smiled: "This is a blessing for you!" At this moment, a cold and mocking voice came: "The dog wears a human skin and swaggers through the market!" Everyone changed color, and hurriedly followed the sound to look, only to see Li Qingxia walking out of the hall with a calm face.

Li Yuanzhuo couldn't help but be very annoyed, and said secretly: "You are no longer the emperor, and King Yan has not given you the title, but we are nobles canonized by King Yan, you dare to be rude to us, it is really hateful!" As soon as he thought of this, Li Yuanzhuo snorted coldly and shouted: "We are all nobles canonized by King Yan, and Master Li is left behind in Xingqing Mansion, you are only a white body now, and you dare to be rude to us!" Many others also shouted. Li Qingxia looked at this group of guys who were not ashamed but proud, and her heart was full of sadness and anger.

Li Tongren hurriedly stabbed between the two sides, glared at Li Yuanzhuo and the others, and said meaningfully: "King Yan did not canonize the title of princess, that is because King Yan has greater grace to the princess, you must not be rude!" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but feel frightened and embarrassed in their hearts, Li Ruolan didn't want to believe it and was jealous, while Li Qingxia glared at Li Tongren and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Li Tongren smiled, bowed to Li Qingxia and said, "Yes, yes, Xiaguan is talking nonsense, princess, don't be surprised!" ”

Li Qingxia saw that if she continued to talk about it, she was afraid that it would become darker and darker, so she snorted angrily and turned around and went towards the harem. Li Tongren hurriedly bowed down and said, "Congratulations to the princess!" Li Yuanzhuo, Li Ruolan and others saw that Li Tongren was so respectful to Li Qingxia, and they couldn't help affirming the speculation in their hearts, and for a while, all kinds of thoughts lingered in their hearts.

When Li Qingxia walked away, Li Yuanzhuo hurriedly asked Li Tongren, "My lord, what did you mean by what you just said?" Could it be that King Yan actually had the intention of canonizing her as a princess? ”

Li Tongren smiled: "I don't know the specifics, but today I heard some rumors," and suddenly felt that the words behind this were not good to say to others, so he said: "In short, King Yan has a lot of blue eyes for the princess, everyone must know in their hearts, you can't be lazy about the princess, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around, but don't blame me for not reminding you!" Everyone hurriedly agreed, and couldn't help but regret that they had the courage to accuse Li Qingxia of having the courage to eat an ambitious leopard just now, and they were all thinking about quickly thinking of a way to make amends to Li Qingxia, and they felt that this matter should not be known to others, otherwise there would be no place for this face.

Li Tongren arched his hand at everyone and said, "It's not too early, let's go back and rest early, I take my leave." Everyone hurriedly bowed down and said, "Bow to your lord!" Li Tongren saw that these royal nobles who were previously high in the sky were now groveling in front of him, and a sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before came to his heart. He nodded, and turned away.

However, not long after he walked out, there were hurried footsteps behind him, and at the same time, a moving female voice shouted, "My lord, please stay!" Li Tongren stopped, turned around, and saw Li Ruolan hurrying up, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. Li Ruolan ran to Li Tongren and saluted with the etiquette of a Han lady in the Central Plains. Li Tongren was flattered, and hurriedly replied: "Don't you dare to be such a big gift as a lady!" Li Ruolan was canonized as Mrs. Hanhai just now, so Li Tongren called her Mrs.

Li Ruolan smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to be polite! Then he bowed apologetically and said, "This palace really offended adults before!" "Although Li Ruolan is not the queen mother now, the habits she developed before can't be changed for a while, and she still calls herself the palace.

Li Tongren knew that Li Ruolan was talking about what she had left behind to guard Xingqing Mansion before, which could be said to be intentionally to kill him, and the depth of the grudge was self-evident, but the world was unpredictable, not only did he not die, but instead became Yanyun's Xingqing Mansion Guard, and became the most noble figure in the party for a while, but she Li Ruolan became a prisoner, although she was named Mrs. Hanhai, but how could that false title be compared with him, the Xingqing Mansion? Now that the strong and weak are swapped, it can really be described as a creation and a trick!

Li Tongren felt a little proud in his heart, smiled slightly, and said: "Madame's words are serious, the previous things have long passed!" He just said that it was long gone, but he didn't say that he had forgotten it, which shows that he still remembered the incident.

Li Ruolan sighed, "This palace knows that the hatred in the hearts of the adults is difficult to quench, and I don't dare to beg for the understanding!" It's just that there are some things I still want to make clear! Glancing at Li Tongren, "At that time, letting Master Li stay was actually the meaning of Daochong." Adults may not know that before we discussed together, Hu Daochong came to me alone and told me about it. He proposed to keep the lord to guard the Xingqing Mansion, but I originally disagreed, because the lord was the minister of the humerus to me, and I wanted to stay by my side and ask for advice from time to time, but I insisted on it, and the palace couldn't help his persuasion and agreed, so there will be something later. Hey, now that I think about it, this palace really can't live up to adults! ”

Li Tongren thought to himself: "This woman is only afraid that she is shirking responsibility, but what she said may be true, after supporting the new emperor, I and Hu Daochong are both meritorious heroes, with equal merits and equal power, for him, I am a force that restricts him, making him unable to do many things as he wants, which must be like a fish in his throat and want to get rid of it quickly." Therefore, he advanced behind the queen and offered slanderous words in order to get rid of me, a thorn in the flesh, and it was also a smooth thing. As soon as I thought of this, my hatred for Li Ruolan couldn't help but fade a lot.

Seeing the change in the expression on Li Tongren's face, Li Ruolan couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and continued: "My lord, we are all in the same vein as the party, and now that we have returned to King Yan, we should naturally be brave and loyal, and there must be no slightest dissent!" ”

Li Tongren raised his eyebrows and said, "This is nature!" ”

Li Ruolan frowned and said, "But have you ever thought about it, how should we gain a foothold under King Yan?" Under the command of King Yan, there is a group of old brothers who followed him at the earliest, there is the Khitan system, there is the Song system, and the Jurchen system, each of which is very powerful, not only in the military and politics, but most importantly, there are women who are the princess of King Yan. Our party is an emerging force, and I am afraid that it will inevitably be suppressed by them! ”

Li Tongren couldn't help frowning and nodded. Li Ruolan said: "If we want to really gain a foothold under King Yan, we must be like those forces, not only in military and political achievements, but more importantly, in the harem of King Yan." ”

Li Tongren understood what Li Ruolan meant, glanced at her, and said: "Madame said very well, we party ministers naturally want to do our best to make meritorious contributions to King Yan, as for the harem, I think Princess Qingxia is the best choice, and King Yan himself has that meaning!" ”

Li Ruolan didn't mean that, when she heard this, she was taken aback, and said hurriedly: "Princess Qingxia pretends to be high, but I'm afraid that she is not a suitable person, and this palace will never enter Queen Yan's harem!" ”

Li Tongren felt that what Li Ruolan said was reasonable, and couldn't help frowning, and then his heart moved, glanced at Li Ruolan, and couldn't help but say: "Could it be that Mrs. Fei has this intention?" ”

Li Ruolan's delicate face was slightly red, and under the reflection of the moonlight, it was really beautiful. Li Tongren has reached the age of not being disturbed by external objects, but he can't help but feel a wave in his heart, and he can't help but secretly say: This woman is naturally charming, and compared with Li Qingxia, she seems to be more able to get the favor of men.

When he came back to his senses, he said with some embarrassment: "It's a pity that King Yan didn't show a different attitude towards his wife!" Li Ruolan was annoyed in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Sometimes we can go with the flow, but sometimes we need to create opportunities by ourselves." If you can help me realize this dream, this palace will never forget your kindness! ”

Li Tongren couldn't help but be moved, feeling that although Li Qingxia was more favored by King Yan, with Li Qingxia's personality, she would definitely not want to enter Queen Yan's harem, and this Li Ruolan was different. In addition, even if Li Qingxia enters the harem, she is afraid that she will not play the role she hoped, at least she will never help herself say good things in front of King Yan; And if Li Ruolan enters the harem, it must be another act, she has helped her, she will definitely spare no effort to speak well by King Yan's side, she has such an ally by King Yan's side, which is tantamount to an unimaginable help for her future career development, after all, from ancient times to the present, no matter how wise a king is, he can't help the gentle wind of the beauty beside the pillow.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Tongren made a decision in his heart. glanced at Li Ruolan, bowed and saluted: "Madame's words made Weichen suddenly!" Li Ruolan saw that Li Tongren's attitude suddenly became extremely flattering, and his title changed, and immediately understood his intentions, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said excitedly: "As long as we help each other, we will definitely occupy a place in the Yanwang Mansion!" Li Tongren nodded.

Li Ruolan took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Li Tongren, blushing slightly and said, "My lord, please give this thing to King Yan on your behalf." ”

Li Tongren took the Jinpa, smelled a faint fragrance, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart. I looked at the brocade in my hand, and saw that on the brocade with a white background of the moon, there was a pair of peony flowers embroidered, the pair of peony flowers, the branches and leaves petals were tightly entwined, as if the limbs of men and women were entangled, and the petals leaning on each other were like a man and a woman kissing. Li Tongren couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his brain was a little in a trance, he came back to his senses, and quickly put the Jinpa into his sleeve. bowed to Li Ruolan and left in a hurry.

Li Ruolan looked at Li Tongren's back, smiled slightly, and muttered: "Men like charming women, but not fake and serious women like you!" Then she turned and went to the harem, and the two maids who were waiting for her at a distance hurried to meet her.

Li Tongren rushed to King Yan's temporary camp and asked the guard, "Where is King Yan?" The guard said: "King Yan has gone to the study!" Li Tongren thanked him and ran towards the back study. Yang Peng's temporary camp, is not Xingqing Mansion, but the mansion of the previous Dao Chong, the scale is large, it is the Dao Chong spent the boss's mind to ask the Jiangnan craftsmen to supervise the construction of the landscape garden, three steps and one view, five steps and one view, small bridges and flowing water, bamboo and sea waves, each place has a different scenery, every courtyard has a charming place, people are in this landscape garden, there will be surprises all the time.

Li Tongren was very familiar with the path here, and he didn't need to be guided, so he soon came to the outside of the study. Seeing that Yang Peng was sitting behind the bookcase and looking through the official documents, he didn't dare to rush in, and hugged his fist at Wang Kai, who was standing outside the study, and said: "General, please report on your behalf, I have something important to ask to see!" Wang Kai turned around and went in, walked to Yang Peng's side, hugged his fists and said a few words, and then Li Tongren saw Yang Peng looking up at this side from a distance, and his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly stood solemnly. Then I saw Yang Peng say a few words to Wang Kai, Wang Kai hugged his fists and promised, ran out, and said, "King Yan let you in." ”

Li Tongren hurriedly thanked him and walked into the study quickly. came to the middle of the study and bowed: "Weichen meets King Yan!" Yang Peng put down the official document, glanced at the respectful Li Tongren, and said with a smile: "Get up and speak." Li Tongren bowed and said: "King Xie Yan! Then he stood up, took out the brocade handkerchief that Li Ruolan handed him from his sleeve, took two steps forward, and presented it to Yang Peng with both hands.

Yang Peng took the Jinpa, only felt a fragrant fragrance that only a woman has coming to his nose, and saw that this Jinpa was clearly a woman's thing, he couldn't help but feel surprised, looked at Li Tongren, and asked with a smile: "What does this mean?" ”

Li Tongren hurriedly said: "This is what Mrs. Hanhai asked Weichen to transfer to King Yan!" Yang Peng was stunned, "Mrs. Hanhai? "Exactly!"

Yang Peng looked down at the brocade in his hand, and saw that the two peony branches and leaves on it were entangled, with an ambiguous temperament, like a pair of men and women dying and lingering. Then I saw a famous sentence written by Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty in the blank space next to the two peonies: red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring.

Yang Peng's heart moved, put down the Jinpa, and asked Li Tongren: "Is there anything else?" Seeing that Yang Peng didn't say anything, Li Tongren felt a little strange in his heart, and didn't dare to ask, so he hurriedly said: "Weichen wants to ask King Yan, those local people who came back, do you want to return their property to them?" Li Tongren said something else, lest King Yan think that he had come to see him specifically to send Jinpa.

Yang Peng said: "This is natural. However, they must be able to provide proof, preferably with the title deed, without the title deed, and if there is sufficient proof of the certificate. Li Tongren bowed and said, "Yes, Weichen understands." Chen Xiao glanced at Li Tongren and reminded: "Our Yanyun is different from any other country, and there is no room for bargaining on the issue of corruption and perversion of the law. Soon, the people of the Supervision Yuan will be stationed all over Ningxia, and if they find out the problem, even I can't protect you! Li Tongren's heart sank, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Wechen remember the teachings of King Yan, Wechen will never dare to be corrupt and bend the law, and Wechen will also take the initiative to supervise the integrity of his subordinates, and if problems are found, they will not be tolerated!" ”

Yang Peng nodded and said, "What's the point of being corrupt and bending the law?" A person can only eat so much in a day, three feet of sleep is enough, too much money is not brought to life and death is not brought away, why be so greedy? Moreover, those families who are corrupt and pervert the law, there are few decent descendants, this is called the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, Lao Tzu is desperately greedy, and his son is desperately squandering, and in the end he still has nothing, it is better to be honest and thrifty, and the family will be blessed! ”

Li Tongren only felt cold sweat on his back, and bowed down and said, "King Yan, what King Yan said is timely!" ”

Yang Peng glanced at Li Tongren and said, "I know you have received some bribes in the past," Li Tongren only felt that his legs were weak, and he knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed in great fear: "Wechen is guilty, Wechen is guilty!" ”

Yang Peng said: "That was when you were still the prime minister of Western Xia, not under my Yanyun, I can not blame the past." From now on, though, I don't want to hear anything bad about you! ”

Li Tongren said gratefully: "Thank you Yan Wang for your kindness, thank you Yan Wang for your kindness!" ”

Yang Peng got up and walked in front of Li Tongren, stretched out his hand to help him up, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged: "I have great expectations for you, don't disappoint me!" Li Tongren only felt the kindness of King Yan, even if he was smeared with liver and brain, it was difficult to repay it, and said excitedly: "Weichen, you will never let down King Yan!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, patting him on the shoulder, "I believe in you!" "The simple four words made Li Tongren can't help but have the urge to 'die for his confidant'.

Yang Peng said: "It's not too early, you can go down and rest!" ”

Li Tongren hurriedly responded, bowed to Yang Peng, and bowed out of the study. Yang Peng looked out of the study, his face thoughtful. When I returned to the back of the bookcase and sat down, I saw the brocade again, and I couldn't help but feel an impulse in my heart. Yang Peng picked up the Jinpa, put the Jinpa on the tip of his nose, took a deep breath, and the touching fragrance penetrated into the nasal cavity and then spread to the limbs, and his heart couldn't help but be more impulsive. Yang Peng smiled self-deprecatingly and muttered: "No wonder people often say, 'A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing', this 'stealing' is really exciting!" ”

Yang Peng thought about it, took Jinpa into his arms, left the study and came to the backyard, and walked straight towards Yang Erya's yard. Yang Peng's raging love was hooked up by that brocade pa, and now he urgently needs to put out the fire. Quickly came to Yang Erya's courtyard, and saw that it was dark without lighting in the wooden building, and couldn't help but feel surprised, and hurriedly asked a Feifeng female guard at the gate of the courtyard: "Where is Madame?" The female guard hurriedly said: "Madame went to the kitchen, saying that she was going to stew a pot of chicken soup for King Yan!" ”

Yang Peng only felt warm in his heart, and walked towards the kitchen. Before I arrived at the cupboard, I saw the light on the side of the cupboard from a distance, and the light illuminated a graceful and moving figure, and sure enough, Yang Erya was busy on the stove. At present, among the three daughters around Yang Peng, Yelu Hanyu is of noble birth, and only others have taken care of her, but she has no one to take care of others, so she has no consciousness that she should take care of her husband as a wife, and Yang Jiumei, born in Jiangmen, has a big personality, and she can't think of that, only Yang Erya, Lan Xinhui, and thoughtful, thinking that the eldest brother must be very tired when he is still dealing with official business so late, he should cook him a pot of chicken soup to make up for his body, so he led a few female guards to the cupboard and was busy.

Yang Peng couldn't help but smile on his face, and walked over there with his feet raised. When she came to the door, the female guard guarding the door saw Yang Peng, her eyes lit up, and she wanted to salute. Yang Peng hurriedly put his middle finger to his lips to signal her not to make a sound, and the female guard swallowed back the words that came to her lips, only hugged her fists and saluted, and then pursed her lips and smiled.

Yang Peng walked into the cupboard and saw a pot of chicken soup simmering on a stove, gurgling, and the aroma in the air was appetizing; Yang Peng sat in front of the stove, looking intently at the pot of chicken soup that was being stewed, as if he was afraid that something would go wrong; The two female guards who had beaten down saw Yang Peng and were about to salute, but were stopped by Yang Peng with gestures.

Yang Peng pointed outside, and the two female guards understood, pursed their lips and smiled, glanced at Qiong Ying, who was attentive and distracted, and left quietly.

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