Han Bing nodded, Yelu Hanyu glanced at Yang Peng, and said angrily: "We didn't think much about it, we thought too much!" Yang Peng laughed.

Yang Peng and Han Bing After Yelu Hanyu finished speaking, Yelu Hanyu pulled Han Bing down to talk about women, and Yang Peng came to the study to read the official documents. Just when I was bored, a fragrant breeze came in with the sound of soft footsteps. Yang Peng hurriedly raised his head and saw Chai Yonghui, who had a graceful body, approaching him. Yang Peng couldn't help but get excited, and then saw that Mu Guifei's face showed a depressed look, and immediately realized that the situation was probably a little wrong. Sure enough, I saw Mu Guifei said depressedly: "I went to persuade for a day yesterday, and I persuaded for another day today, but my cousin just didn't listen to my advice, I really can't help her!" ”

Yang Peng sighed and said bitterly: "It seems that I am self-inflicted, cousin, I am afraid she has never liked me!" ”

Chai Yonghui shook his head and said categorically: "No, my cousin's mind now is not only on Xiao Zhaoyou's body, but also on the eldest brother's body." The cousin loves the eldest brother very much, in fact, as early as when the eldest brother was still under house arrest in Bianliang, the second sister's heart was already in the eldest brother's body! Yang Peng was stunned, "This, is that so?" ”

Chai Yonghui nodded vigorously and said, "My cousin actually has some scruples, she is afraid that marrying the eldest brother will cause damage to the eldest brother's reputation......" Yang Peng said angrily: "What are you worried about this?" I don't care about fame or anything! Life is only a few decades in the world, why do you have to live for other people's words! If you don't seize the opportunity while you're still young, it'll be too late to regret it in the future! Chai Yonghui nodded approvingly, and said depressedly: "I also said this, but my cousin just can't listen to it!" In fact, the main knot in my cousin's heart now is to take care of the reputation of my eldest brother! ”

Yang Peng stood up and paced back and forth irritably. Chai Yonghui looked at Yang Peng and said, "Big brother, little sister has a plan. Yang Peng immediately stopped and looked at Chai Yonghui, and hurriedly asked, "What good way do you have?" Chai Yonghui saw that his eldest brother was so tight, and his heart couldn't help but rise with jealousy, and said sourly: "Big brother, you really like your cousin!" Yang Peng walked up to Chai Yonghui, took her slender hand with both hands, and said softly: "If you still refuse to marry me now, I won't be nervous, I must have gone crazy!" Chai Yonghui smiled, glanced at the eldest brother affectionately, and couldn't help but lean his delicate body into the eldest brother's arms, and said softly: "You, you will coax me!" Yang Peng gently hugged her, at this moment, she was indeed the only one in her heart, and she didn't think about other women.

The two of them warmed up for a while, Chai Yonghui suddenly remembered his cousin's matter, and hurriedly left the arms of his eldest brother, and said with a smile: "Actually, since my cousin loves my eldest brother so much, this matter is not difficult to do." ”

Yang Peng was tickled by her, hugged her waist and asked, "What can you do?" Chai Yonghui's eyes rolled, and he smiled mischievously: "I can't tell you now, you will naturally know when the time comes!" Yang Peng saw her delicate and lovely appearance, and couldn't help but move his index finger, and wanted to come up with a family method. At this moment, Jiang Li rushed in and reported: "Master Qiqi, Huang Qiaoyun asks to see you." Yang Peng pondered: "I'm afraid that there is a problem of official corruption that needs to be reported to me." Chai Yonghui took the opportunity to say: "Big brother, you deal with business, little sister has left!" Yang Peng nodded. The two glanced at each other, and at the same time, their hearts fluttered, Chai Yonghui's delicate face flushed, and he glanced at him coquettishly, and then went down. As they passed by Jiang Li's side, the two nodded to each other.

The gaze turned to Zhongjing in Liaoguo. The Empress Dowager Wang Jun of the Liao State was entertaining a distant visitor, and only Prime Minister Han Derang was sitting with her. The guest asked Wang Jun, "I wonder how the noble Queen Mother has thought about it?" ”

Wang Jun was dressed in a phoenix robe in a hurry and grassland style, all wearing phoenix crowns, and the flashing golden light reflected that beautiful face, which looked both noble and beautiful. I only listened to Wang Jundao: "Your envoy's suggestion seems to be feasible, but there are a few questions that need to be answered by your envoy!" The guest said: "Although the Queen Mother asked, the envoy must know everything!" ”

Wang Jun said: "Now that Yan Yun's strength has probably surpassed that of the Tang Dynasty back then, why does Xiliao think that he can defeat them?" "It turns out that this envoy who looks like a West Asian is actually a secret envoy sent by Western Liao! What did Western Liao want to do when he sent envoys to Yanyun and sent envoys to Liao?

I saw the messenger smile and said, "At this moment, another messenger from our side must have arrived in Bianliang. ......" Wang Jun and Han Derang suddenly heard this, and couldn't help frowning, and their hearts were full of doubts.

The envoy saw the expressions of the two of them, and naturally knew what they were worried about, and said with a smile: "That envoy will tell King Yan that our Western Liao is fighting with Khorezm, and we hope to coexist peacefully with Yan Yun and reach a comprehensive trade agreement!" Wang Jun and Han Derang glanced at each other. Han Derang asked, "Isn't that true?" ”

The messenger smiled slightly and said, "It's all fake!" The war with Khorezm was a matter before, in fact, now that the war is over, Yanyun will not know until at least next year that the war between us and Khorezm has ended, but it will be too late at that time! "Don't wonder why Yan Yun didn't know the news so late, because in ancient times, the transmission of news was very slow, and if someone deliberately blocked the news, it would be even slower, so the envoy said that Yan Yun would not get the news until next year, which is still the most conservative estimate." As for the desire for peaceful coexistence, it is naturally fake, it is just a trick to paralyze Yan Yun! ”

Wang Jun nodded and said with a smile: "You guys are trying to take it by surprise and raise a large army to attack Yanyun from Yumen Pass!" The messenger nodded, "Yes! Then he frowned and said: "That Yanyun deposed Confucianism and enabled the Legalist soldiers, and has become a state of tigers and wolves, if he is allowed to continue to grow, I am afraid that no one in the world will be able to live in peace!" Therefore, we must take advantage of the fact that they are not strong enough, and we will unite and defeat him in one fell swoop! Then help the Central Plains people restore the Confucian righteous path, only such Central Plains people can make people feel safe! ”

Wang Jun pondered: "I understand your thoughts, you think that as long as you are surprised, you can win. He glanced up at the envoy, "But I had to remind the envoy." Although Yan Yun only has 100,000 soldiers and horses in Ningxia, those 100,000 troops are the elite divisions of Yan Yun's army that have experienced a hundred battles, and they are extremely well-equipped! Even if your country has 200,000 soldiers and horses, I am afraid it will not be able to take advantage! ”

The messenger smiled mysteriously and said, "What if my army has 500,000?" When Wang Jun and Han Derang heard this, they were both shocked, and Han Derang frowned and said: "As far as I know, there are less than 300,000 soldiers and horses in Western Liao, where are the 500,000 people?" ”

The envoy smiled slightly and said, "Actually, the total strength of our Xiliao has exceeded 600,000 today!" The reason why the outside world only knows about 300,000 is the news deliberately spread by our Majesty! Wang Jun and Han Derang glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but feel that Yelu Longqing was really a not simple character, so deliberately hiding the army, it seemed that he had already had the intention of going east! It's just that his purpose at the beginning may not have been to deal with Yan Yun, but to deal with the Great Liao Kingdom!

Wang Jun smiled and said, "You want to raise 500,000 troops to the east? The envoy nodded, "Your Majesty will personally march and attack Yumen Pass with an army of 500,000!" Yan Yunjun will definitely not be able to resist, I believe that within a month, our army will be able to occupy the whole of Ningxia! ”

Wang Jun said: "If your majesty marches with an army of 500,000 people, then I can agree to your proposal!" The messenger said happily: "In this case, this battle will be more than half successful!" After a pause, he asked, "But I don't know how many troops the Queen Mother will raise to go south?" Wang Jun smiled and said, "The army is 800,000!" The envoy was surprised and delighted, and said excitedly: "In this way, Yan Yun will be defeated!" Then he said: "Since the Queen Mother has decided, let's make a covenant!" The king said, "Just bother your envoy to write the covenant." ”

The messenger stood up, took out two sheepskins from his sleeves, held them up with both hands, and said, "I have prepared the covenant, please take a look at the Queen Mother." Wang Jun smiled and said, "Your envoy is really prepared!" Han Derang changed his look, and the latter understood, walked up to the messenger, took the sheepskin, and presented it to Wang Jun. Wang Jun spread out the two sheepskins on the bookcase in front of him, read them carefully, the content of the two sheepskins is exactly the same, in addition to the two sides swearing an alliance and raising troops to crusade against Yanyun at the same time, the time for the army to fight against Yan Yun was also determined, set in March next year, in addition to these contents, it is the plan to divide the Central Plains after the war, the Western Liao side wants Ningxia, that is, the homeland of Western Xia, plus Shaanxi, Gansu and Hanzhong; It was promised that all the land east of the Great River would be owned by the Great Liao.

Wang Jun felt that there was no problem, nodded, picked up his imperial treasure, and stamped the treasure seal on the two sheepskins. He immediately put down the imperial treasure, picked up a sheepskin and handed it to Han Derang. Han Derang took the sheepskin and handed it to the messenger. When the messenger saw the scarlet mark on the sheepskin, he couldn't help but smile, and quickly folded it and put it in his bosom.

Wang Jun said: "Since we and Xiliao are already a family, then there are some things we can tell you." The messenger looked curious. I only heard Wang Jun say: "Actually, your envoy is not the first to come to contact us secretly!" Two Coalition envoys have already contacted us. ”

The envoy felt that the alliance that the other party was talking about seemed to have the same purpose as his own, and couldn't help asking, "I don't know what alliance it is?" Wang Jun smiled and looked at Han Derang, "The prime minister should tell your envoy about these things." ”

Han Derang replied and said to the envoy: "In fact, everyone in the world has already felt the threat of Yan Yun, so Tubo and Song have formed an offensive and defensive alliance to deal with Yan Yun together, and their secret envoy came here not long ago, hoping that our Great Liao Empire will also join their alliance!" However, since the strength of that alliance is not very strong, and our Great Liao Empire also has its own problems, we have not yet decided whether to join their alliance or not. ......" Wang Jun continued: "But the situation is different now, His Majesty Xiliao has used clever tactics to raise another 500,000 troops, and the strength to deal with Yan Yun is enough!" Our four-nation alliance, as well as the Dali Kingdom, may also join in and deal with Yan Yun together, and the odds are great! ”

The envoy nodded thoughtfully, bowed and said, "Empress Dowager, I think that the Great Liao Empire can form an alliance with them to strengthen their determination to fight against Yan Yun!" However, I ask my mother not to mention it to them. ”

Wang Jun and Han Derang were puzzled, but then they understood each other's intentions, and Wang Jun smiled: "You want to use them!" Let the two of them attract Yan Yun's attention, while the two of us will reap the benefits of the fisherman! ”

The envoy smiled, "It's not that we mean to take advantage of them, but this is how we can maximize the odds and maximize the benefits of our respective countries!" Then his face showed contempt, "Their weak countries are not qualified to carve up Yanyun with us!" Wang Jun smiled and nodded.

The envoy asked curiously, "Didn't Niang Niang say that there are two alliances?" I wonder what the other one is? Could it be a Japanese people? Then he denied this speculation, thinking that the Japanese had just been driven out of Goryeo, and that great battle could be described as a heavy loss, and he hated Da Liao so much that he gritted his teeth, how could he come to form an alliance with Da Liao!

Wang Jun smiled and said to Han De: "Prime Minister, you come." ”

Han Derang replied and said to the envoy: "Yan Yun's dismissal of Confucianism not only makes our neighbors feel uneasy, but also makes many people within them feel bitter. Therefore, this other alliance is the anti-Yanyun alliance formed by some people within Yanyun. The envoy suddenly realized, nodded, and asked, "Presumably these people are all Confucians, right?" Han Derang nodded, "So to speak, but not exactly, this includes those suppressed scholars within Yanyun, as well as officials who are unwilling to do so, as well as the restoration forces of Western Xia." These forces, if they were against Yan Yun alone, would naturally not do anything, but if they revolted within Yan Yun when we launched an attack, the effect would be immeasurable! ”

The envoy nodded, frowned, and said, "This power can only be used, but it cannot be exchanged with them!" Glancing at Han Derang and Wang Jun, "Neither our intentions nor the time we will raise our troops can be known to them!" These people are too miscellaneous, if they know the secret, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be leaked, if so, it will make us fall short! ”

Wang Jun and Han Derang nodded thoughtfully, and Wang Jun said, "Then we can only send someone to inform them of the incident at the same time as we raise our troops." In between, I neither agreed to their requests, nor did I veto. ”

The messenger bowed: "The Queen Mother is wise! Han Derang said: "I think we can also publish a crusade at the same time as we raise troops." In order to restore the Confucian righteousness of the Central Plains, our Great Liao Kingdom raised troops to fight, in order to hang the people from the crime of killing the people and save the people from fire and water, and called on the Han people to rise up and respond to the overthrow of Yanyun's tyranny! ”

Wang Jun said with a smile: "This is a good text, and it will definitely give great encouragement to those Confucian scholars among the Han people and the forces that are dissatisfied with Yan Yun!" Han Derang looked at the envoy and said, "And the Western Liao Empire issued a document claiming to restore the country for the Western Xia, I think those party members who cherish their homeland will definitely rise up and respond." The messenger nodded happily and said, "Yes, yes, this is a good solution!" He glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "This is what the Han people call 'the teacher is famous'?" The three of them tacitly laughed.

Later that day, the king set up a private banquet for the envoys, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. The king was happy again, and drank more wine, and did not get up until the next day, when the sun was three poles. Immediately, Wang Jun washed up, had breakfast, and miscellaneous important civil and military ministers discussed matters. At the court meeting, Wang Jun claimed that he would launch a large-scale military operation against the Japanese mainland, and asked his ministers to find a way to raise grain and grass. When the ministers heard this, they were all taken aback, and many people came out to oppose it, saying that the Wa Kingdom was lonely overseas, and the cost of the army's expedition across the sea was really unimaginable, and the army had just pacified Goryeo, and the grain and grass had been exhausted, and it was too difficult to raise the money and food needed for the army's expedition! However, the king's determination was made, and he ordered that the money and grain seized from the Japanese should be used for military expenses.

However, in this way, the nobles of the Liao Kingdom jumped up again to object, because a considerable part of the spoils were supposed to be distributed to them. The king was obviously aware of such a situation, and immediately said that he could distribute a part of the land in Goryeo to the nobles. In this way, the nobles smiled and not only did not object, but also agreed.

Towards noon, the sun is shining, and the spring flowers in the Imperial Garden are beautiful. Wang Jun walked around, and his mood was particularly comfortable. Suddenly, a delicate peony flower came into view. Wang Jun couldn't help but think of the female emperor Wu Zetian back then, and couldn't help but ask the palace maid who followed: "You say that compared with Wu Zetian, who is more amazing!" The entourage maids said: "Naturally, the mother is amazing!" Wang Jun's face was like a spring flower, and he was very happy. A palace maid with a delicate face said: "Wu Zetian is just sitting on the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, but he is not like Niangniang, opening up the territory and making great achievements!" ”

Wang Jun glanced at her, and felt that this palace maid was delicate, her tone was gentle, and her words were even more flattering, so she couldn't help but feel good, and asked with a smile: "What's your name?" Why haven't I seen you before? The palace maid immediately replied: "If you go back to Niangniang, the slave maid is called Xiao Wan'er, and she used to be a miscellaneous servant, so Niangniang has never seen a slave maid." Wang Jun smiled and said, "From today onwards, you will follow me." Xiao Wan'er was excited, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Thank you for your love!" Wang Jun smiled and said, "Get up." Xiao Wan'er answered and stood up.

Wang Jun looked at Xiao Wan'er, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and asked, "Wan'er, have you ever read a book?" "Back to Niangniang, the slave maid has read some books." Wang Jun said secretly: I am worried that I don't have a cronies to help me handle government affairs, and this Wan'er seems to be a suitable candidate. Just as the prince was strolling around surrounded by the palace maids, a man broke into the imperial garden in a hurry.

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