The companion raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Don't you know? The man in brown said blankly: "What do you know?" ”

The companion said angrily: "King Yan and the cabinet have already issued an order for the mobilization of the national military government, and our army is about to attack the south!" As the coach of Pingnan, Yelu Niangniang has already gone to Tanzhou! The man in brown suddenly said, "That's the case!" I said, "How can I see a huge army moving along the way!" Then he said strangely: "Then how many catties and taels can Zhao Song have, how can King Yan order all the military governments in the country to mobilize?" Isn't this a knife to kill a chicken? The companion frowned and shook his head, "I don't know about this." Maybe King Yan and the adults in the cabinet want to solve the problems of the south in one fell swoop! The man in brown nodded, and then said excitedly: "After the unification of the south, we will be a real big empire!" ”

The companion smiled: "Isn't it a great empire now?" Look at the countries around us, which one is as strong as us? Even if it is the so-called imperial Dajin, compared to us, I'm afraid it is not as good as us! ”

The man in brown nodded, "Yes! Then he frowned and said puzzledly: "However, we are all so powerful, why is King Yan still not the emperor?" The companion smiled: "What does it matter if you are not called an emperor?" That's just a name! This kind of thing, King Yan must have his own considerations, so we little people don't have to worry about it! ”

The man in brown thought it was the same, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and talked to his companion about the interesting story of Bianliang now.

At this time, a tea guest at the adjacent table smiled and lowered his voice and said to his companion in front of him: "Big brother, the people all want you to be the emperor!" It turned out that it was Zhou Bingqian, who was dressed as a man, and the person sitting opposite her was none other than Yang Peng, the king of Yan. At the two tables around the two of them, sat a dozen or so secret guards who were also dressed in civilian clothes. In the past two months, Zhou Bingqian has taken care of Yang Peng's life, which can be described as meticulous, Yang Peng has long been accustomed to Zhou Bingqian's care, and Yang Peng likes this beautiful woman from the bottom of his heart. However, this love is not the love between men and women, but the love of brothers and sisters, in Yang Peng's feelings, she is like a considerate little sister of herself. And Zhou Bingqian also seems to be sitting on her sister's beauty wholeheartedly, not only taking care of Yang Peng meticulously, but also helping her sisters-in-law from time to time, so all the princesses also like this beautiful little sister very much. Zhou Bingqian is very popular in Yanwangfu, and at the same time, she is also known to the outside world, and now the people also know that Yanwang has accepted a very beautiful county lord.

Yang Peng smiled, picked up the tea bowl in front of him, took a sip of tea, and then put down the tea bowl, picked up the fennel beans on the table and ate them. Zhou Bingqian asked curiously, "Big brother, when do you plan to become emperor?" Yang Peng smiled: "Do I have to be the emperor?" Zhou Bingqian sighed and said, "The eldest brother is already in the world, isn't it a smooth thing to be the emperor?" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Maybe there are other choices, but it may not be!" Zhou Bingqian thought that Yang Peng wanted to give up the throne to someone, so she couldn't help frowning and said, "Big brother, with all due respect to my little sister, today's Yan Yun, except for the eldest brother, it is difficult for anyone who wants to be the emperor to convince the public!" I'm afraid that when the time comes, the great rivers and mountains that the eldest brother has managed to build will be chaotic again! ”

Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, then understood that she had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "You think wrong, eldest brother didn't mean that." Zhou Bingqian showed a puzzled look.

Yang Peng played with the tea bowl and muttered: "No matter who is the emperor, no matter how brilliant the founding of the country is, it will always be impossible to avoid the cycle of chaos." If this system of imperial rule is not changed, this cycle of prosperity and decline will continue to be staged! After decades of life, why do you have to be an emperor? Why do you have to turn the country into your own private property? In a hundred years, everything will not be lost? Instead of this, it is better to do something meaningful, and when you are done, you and your wife and concubine will swim among the green mountains and green waters, that is the great joy of life! "Took a sip of tea.

Zhou Bingqian couldn't help but think of the courses about 'people-oriented' that are being taught in universities today, and vaguely felt something, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't grasp it. I couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does the eldest brother want to do?" ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "You will naturally know when the time comes." Zhou Bingqian smiled softly: "Anyway, the eldest brother's decision is always good!" Yang Peng shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily!" He glanced at Zhou Bingqian and said with a smile: "Your eldest brother is a human being, not an immortal, there will always be times when he makes mistakes!" Zhou Bingqian smiled: "Don't the people think like this? I've heard that many people worship their eldest brother as a god at home! ”

Yang Peng said: "This is the love of the people, but it is also easy to make this beloved person become self-righteous and no longer the person worthy of love!" Then there was a look of memory in his eyes, "There is such a person, very remarkable, in that era, I am afraid that no one can compare with him!" But then he changed, thinking he was a god, but he became like a demon! Many innocent people were killed, and the country was almost in a situation from which it could never recover! ”

Zhou Bingqian was very strange and asked, "Who is this person that the eldest brother is talking about?" Yang Peng came back to his senses and shook his head with a smile. Zhou Bingqian saw that Yang Peng was reluctant to say, so she didn't ask. …… The two of them, accompanied by the secret guards, returned to the gate of the palace. At this moment, a young and beautiful young woman rushed out. Seeing this, the secret guards immediately became vigilant, and everyone protected Yang Peng and Zhou Bingqian, and the other two hidden killers stepped forward to stop the young woman.

The young woman stopped, and shouted here with a somewhat panicked expression: "Miss Zhou, it's me!" Zhou Bingqian's expression moved. Yang Peng turned his head and asked Zhou Bingqian: "Little sister, do you know her?" Zhou Bingqian hurriedly smiled and nodded: "Yes, she was originally a maid in our family, and she was married a long time ago, but I didn't expect to meet here." Then he said, "Big brother, you go back first, I'll ask her what's going on." I guess I'm here to ask for help. Yang Peng nodded, glanced at the young woman, and went in. The guards followed.

Zhou Bingqian walked up to the young woman and asked unhappily, "Why did you come here?" The young woman saw that Yang Peng and the secret guards had already entered, and said with a smile: "The son is worried about Miss, so he sent a slave to invite him." Zhou Bingqian frowned, snorted, and said coldly: "Lead the way!" The young woman answered, and led Zhou Bingqian away.

Soon after, Zhou Bingqian was taken by the young woman to a room in an inn, retreated, and closed the door. Zhou Bingqian saw that there seemed to be someone behind the screen not far away, so she said coldly: "What are you hiding, come out." ”

A person came out from behind the screen, it was the son of the Mo family, Mo Haotian. Zhou Bingqian asked coldly, "What are you looking for me?" Mo Haotian said in a weird manner: "Miss Zhou is really a noble person, how forgetful!" I forgot what I had to do! It seems that this county lord is too comfortable! ”

Zhou Bingqian snorted coldly, "What I do is my business, I don't need you to do much!" Mo Haotian frowned, his eyes flashed with anger, and he asked with a calm face: "More than two months have passed, why haven't you taken any action?" If you don't take action, why don't you contact me? Zhou Bingqian glanced at Mo Haotian and said, "I have my own plans, you don't have to meddle with things!" Mo Haotian was furious, walked in front of Zhou Bingqian in three steps and two steps, and grabbed her slender hand. Zhou Bingqian was startled, then furious, and waved her other palm and slapped Mo Haotian's cheek fiercely, snap! The voice is so loud, it can be seen that Zhou Bingqian's slap is heavy!

Mo Haotian was stunned, and there was no reaction for a while. Zhou Bingqian suddenly withdrew her palm, took a step back, and shouted angrily: "Don't be rude to me in the future!" Mo Haotian came back to his senses, touched the cheek that was beaten, only felt a hot pain, and his eyes stared at Zhou Bingqian, revealing a look of resentment and madness. When Zhou Bingqian saw him like this, she couldn't help but be scared in her heart, and took a step back.

Mo Haotian suddenly calmed down and said coldly: "You have changed!" Zhou Bingqian was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about?" Mo Haotian asked angrily: "Are you in love with that Yang Peng?" Zhou Bingqian's face changed greatly, and then she shouted angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! ”

Mo Haotian snorted, "Don't forget why you went to Yang Peng's side!" Don't forget your blood feud! When Zhou Bingqian heard this, it was like thunder, and her face instantly turned pale. Mo Haotian smiled coldly and said, "If Yang Peng knew your identity, how do you say he would deal with you?" Zhou Bingqian looked at Mo Haotian sharply and said fiercely: "Are you threatening me?" Mo Haotian raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically: "How dare I threaten the county lord's mother!" I'll just tell you one thing! Then Zhengse said: "You better do what you have to do honestly!" That's good for everyone! After the deed is done, I will keep my promise and make you the queen! ”

Zhou Bingqian snorted and turned to leave. Mo Haotian looked at her coldly, but he didn't stop her. Zhou Bingqian walked to the door, suddenly turned around, and said coldly: "I haven't forgotten my blood feud!" Then a mocking look appeared on his face, "But just with the way you look, don't be delusional about being the emperor!" Mo Haotian was stunned for a moment, then he heard the door ringing, and when he looked again, Zhou Bingqian had already left. Mo Haotian showed a look of resentment and muttered, "You dare to look down on me!" What's so great about being an emperor! ”

As soon as Yang Peng returned to the mansion, a female guard came up and hugged her fists and said, "Master Qiqi, you lords are waiting for your master in the study." Yang Peng nodded and walked towards the study. When I came to the study, I saw Ye Yu Guanyin, Yan Ji, Huang Guang and Huang Qiaoyun sitting in the study waiting. Yang Peng smiled: "I'm sorry, let you wait!" The four of them hurriedly stood up and bowed: "The subordinates (concubines) have seen King Yan!" ”

Yang Peng waved his hand, "No need to be polite!" With that, he walked behind his desk and sat down. When the four of them saw Yang Peng sit down, they all sat down. Huang Guang hugged his fists and said: "King Qiyan, his subordinates have followed the order to transfer money and grain baggage, and now the money and grain baggage are basically in place. ”

Yang Peng nodded. Huang Qiaoyun hugged his fists and said: "The supervision officials sent by our supervision department have also been in place, and from the current feedback, the grain and grass transfer work in various places has been very smooth, and there have been no problems." Yang Peng smiled at Huang Qiaoyun with a look of approval. Seeing this, Huang Qiaoyun couldn't help but be very happy.

Yang Peng's gaze turned to Ya Yu Guanyin's body. The latter said: "The first, sixth, and seventh army corps have been transferred to Yanjing according to the order, and in addition, the military government troops in various places have also been mobilized and are training, as long as they receive the order, they can immediately go to the battlefield!" ”

Yang Peng nodded, looked at Yan Ji, and asked with a smile, "Do the surrounding countries have any reactions?" Yan Ji said with a smile: "According to our eyeliner report, all countries are terrified, and they are terrified of our large-scale mobilization of troops, and it is said that the envoys of various countries are already on their way to Bianliang!" Yang Peng smiled slightly. Yan Ji continued: "The court in Guangzhou has become a mess, some of the Zhao and Song monarchs want to ask for peace, some advocate asking the Khitans for help, and some actually suggest that the court withdraw to the sea!" ”

Everyone laughed, and Huang Guang teased: "Could it be that Zhao Song Junchen actually wanted to be a fisherman on the sea!" Yang Peng asked Yan Ji, "How is the battle between Cao Yong and Zhang Jun?" Yan Ji said: "Zhang Jun is worthy of a generation of famous generals, and he is still persisting with the help of Minzhong Mingjiao. However, according to the latest intelligence, the situation in Zhangzhou City is already very bad! The grain and grass have been almost consumed, the morale of the army and the people has dropped to the bottom, and all kinds of ordnance, especially arrows, have been exhausted! According to the information from Minzhong, they can hold out for more than ten days at most! ”

Yang Peng frowned and thought about it, raised his head and asked, "Where is the water army?" "I am about to report to King Yan, according to the latest report from the navy, they will arrive at the predetermined location in about ten days, and they will take action according to the predetermined plan!"

Yang Peng nodded and muttered, "I'm afraid it's too late to save Zhang Jun!" Then he threw these thoughts behind him. Yan Ji said again: "There is news from Yanjing, the 800,000 Khitan army has been assembled to the south of Zhongjing Road, with Yeyu Hucheng as the commander, and the attack will be launched at any time!" And the 200,000 troops of Goryeo are on their way to Junggyung Road! In addition, there is news from Lin'an that the Eighth Prince has issued an order to Liu Guangshi in accordance with our requirements, and I believe that Liu Guangshi will be able to launch an attack soon! ”

Eyes turned to Lin'an. Master Pang led a person to the study of the palace. Bow to the eighth prince; "Your Majesty, someone is here."

The person who came with Taishi Pang immediately bowed to the Eighth Prince: "The envoy of the Great Liao has seen the Emperor of the Song State. "This person turned out to be the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, no wonder he exudes the breath of the grassland all over his body!

The eighth prince hurriedly said: "Your envoy doesn't have to be polite! Then he asked, "I don't know what your envoy is doing here?" The Liao envoy said: "This envoy is here for the well-being of both of us and you!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" The Khitan envoy raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "Your Majesty, this is knowingly asking!" Doesn't Your Majesty think that Yan Yun has posed a great threat to your country today? Now that Song Guoguo is weak, Yan Yun is like a tiger crawling on his side, as long as Yan Yun moves his body slightly, Song Guo will be wiped out in an instant! ”

The Eighth Prince's face turned pale, and he forced a smile: "Your envoy's words are too alarmist!" I have already declared myself a vassal to Yan Yun, and the two sides have formed an alliance, how could Yan Yun treacherously attack our country! ”

The Khitan envoy said: "What is the use of this kind of covenant!" If Yan Yun reneges on the covenant, what can Your Majesty do? The corners of the eighth prince's eyes jumped, his brows furrowed, and he looked disbelieving.

The Khitan envoy continued: "If the Song Kingdom wants to survive, the only way to do it is to unite with our Great Liao and defeat Yan Yun!" To tell you the truth, my Daliao has gathered 800,000 main forces, commanded by the protector king himself, Chen soldiers are on the border of Yanyun, and at the same time, the 200,000 troops of Goryeo are also heading to the battlefield! Such an army of millions attacking Yan Yun is like Mount Tai pressing the top, how can Yan Yun resist? ……”

The eighth prince smiled, "I'm afraid it's not likely!" Didn't your country raise a large army to attack Yanyun many times before? The results are not very good! The most recent one, not only did it fall short, but even the entire Xijing Road was lost! ”

The Khitan made him angry and shouted: "This time, how can the situation be compared with before!" After a pause, "I can tell Your Majesty that this time, not only the army of our Great Liao Empire, but also Tubo and Dali will also send troops, no matter how strong Yanyun is, there is no reason to contend with the Three Kingdoms at the same time!" I said that in the future, if Your Majesty does not participate in this grand event, after the matter is completed, I am afraid that the situation of Your Majesty and the Song Kingdom will be embarrassing! When the eighth prince heard him say that Tubo and Dali were going to send troops, he couldn't help but be moved, and when he heard his last words, he couldn't help but be worried. There was a look of hesitation on his face, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Seeing this, the Khitan envoy knew that there was a way for the matter, and continued: "Yan Yun is now gathering a large army to prepare to attack Zhao Heng, if His Majesty can also send troops, then it will be the situation of the five countries besieging Yan Yun, this is like the six eastern countries in the Warring States period to resist the tyranny of Qin, there is no invincible reason!" "He is talking about the six-nation alliance attacking Qin, at that time, the six-nation alliance army jointly attacked, and the strength of the Qin army could not resist, but every time the six countries jointly attacked Qin, it always fell short because of reasons outside the battlefield, if the six-nation alliance could be consistently and closely united, Qin may not have the feat of unifying China later, and perished early in the iron hooves of the six countries.

The eighth prince felt that what the Khitan envoy said was very reasonable, but he still couldn't make up his mind in his heart. The Khitan envoy struck while the iron was hot: "Now for the Song State, there is a very favorable condition, that is, Yan Yun is completely defenseless against the Song State, and they still regard the Song State as their ally!" If His Majesty suddenly attacked, Yan Yunjun would inevitably be caught off guard, and the entire Jiangxi and the entire Lianghuai would definitely fall into the hands of the Song State in an instant. The prosperity of the Song Kingdom began in the hands of His Majesty! ”

The eighth prince couldn't help but be very moved, but the experience of many previous fiascos in the hands of Yan Yun had already made him have a shadow in his heart, and at the same time, his brother was called the emperor in Liangguang and Guangzhou, and he was really good at it for a while!

The Khitan envoy glanced at Master Pang, who immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what the Khitan envoy said is very reasonable!" If Your Majesty can revive the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be much easier to solve the problem of the puppet emperor! ”

The eighth prince hesitated for a while, frowned, and said, "I have to think about this matter!" Pang Taishi said urgently: "Your Majesty, the military situation is like fire, you can't delay it!" The eighth prince said unhappily: "Okay! The widow said, think about it! "Master Pang knew that with the character of the Eighth Prince, it was indeed not easy to make a decision on such a major matter, so he had to give up for the time being. pulled the golden envoy who still wanted to speak, bowed to the eighth prince, and then retreated.

The gaze turned back to Bianliang. Yang Peng returned to the backyard and found Zhou Bingqian sitting in the water pavilion not far away, looking at the lake in a daze. I couldn't help but smile and walked over. Seeing that Zhou Bingqian didn't notice her arrival at all, her eyes were red, and there were tears on her delicate face, she couldn't help but be startled, and asked urgently: "Little sister, what's wrong?" ”

Zhou Bingqian had already turned around, saw Yang Peng, hurriedly stood up, turned his head, and wiped away his tears. Then he turned his head and said with a forced smile: "Big brother." Yang Peng saw that Zhou Bingqian's red eyes obviously still had a sad expression, and asked, "Bingqian, what happened?" ”

Zhou Bingqian hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, it's okay!" Yang Peng said angrily: "I also said that it's okay, look at your eyes, they are all red like this!" Zhou Bingqian said in a panic: "It's really fine!" Little sister, little sister just, just remembered her parents! Hey, when I think of their little sister, I can't help but feel sad! ”

Yang Peng was relieved, held Zhou Bingqian's slender hand, and said softly: "Now that you have a big brother and so many sisters, don't be sad anymore!" Seeing you like this, the eldest brother feels uncomfortable! ”

Zhou Bingqian looked at Yang Peng stupidly, and muttered unknowingly: "It's because my eldest brother is so good to me that I'm sad." Yang Peng smiled and wiped her tears, "Say stupid things!" What does it mean that the eldest brother is too good to you and you are sad? Zhou Bingqian showed a sad expression and lowered her head.

Yang Peng felt that this little girl's thoughts were really strange, but he felt that a woman's mind was originally quite complicated, and it was not strange for her to behave like this! Putting this matter behind him, he said with a smile: "Okay, don't be sad, big brother will cook a few side dishes for you today, okay?" ”

Zhou Bingqian raised her head to look at Yang Peng and asked, "Big brother, why are you so good to me?" Yang Peng was stunned, picked his head, and said, "I have never thought about this problem!" You're my sister-in-law, isn't it natural to be nice to you? Zhou Bingqian couldn't control her emotions anymore, and threw herself into Yang Peng's arms, crying bitterly. Yang Peng laughed and coaxed her like a child.

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