Yang Erya said softly: "Big brother has thoughts? ”

Yang Peng couldn't help but sigh, looked at the night sky and muttered, "What is the meaning of being alive?" No matter how heroic you are, you will inevitably die after all! If they all end up dying, why did they come to this world? Is it true that man came to earth to suffer? ”

Yang Erya said softly: "I didn't think about it that much! I just want to be able to accompany my eldest brother! Then he raised his head and looked at Yang Peng's face, and said with infinite tenderness: "If there is no big brother, what is the point of immortality!" ”

Yang Peng couldn't help but feel moved, smiled slightly, leaned down and kissed Yang Erya's red lips, and said with a smile: "It's the eldest brother who thinks too much!" What do you want to do so much, we just need to cherish the people and things in front of us! Yang Erya smiled and said adoringly: "Big brother is a hero of the world, and he naturally thinks about more things than others!" Yang Peng smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "Bullshit hero!" Yang Erya smiled and said softly: "It's not!" Seeing Yang Erya's infinite tenderness, Yang Peng couldn't help but be moved, his hand around Yang Erya's waist tightened, and he smiled evilly: "Sister Erya, let's go and create people!" Yang Erya was shy and emotional, looking at Yang Peng with affection. Where could Yang Peng bear it, he picked up Yang Erya horizontally and walked towards the bedroom.

The night of spring is beautiful, and the scenery is indescribable.

Yelu Hongjun, Yelu Yilie, Ali Dayi and Ali Dali led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to escort Yelu Dashi's coffin back to the city. I saw the ministers wearing linen and filial piety, and the young queen led a group of civil and military ministers out of the city to greet the coffin, crying one after another, and everyone's faces were full of sadness. When the queen saw the coffin, she rushed up desperately, threw herself on the coffin, and wept bitterly, and the soldiers could not help but shed tears when they were infected.

Yelu Hongjun and several important ministers finally persuaded the queen to enter the city together to protect the coffin. Hundreds of people knelt down on the side of the street and wept, and the procession escorting the coffin traveled through the street to the palace hall.

Then the coffin rested on the main hall, and the nobles of the ministers worshiped Yelu Longqing under the leadership of the new emperor Yelu Hongjun. Then the vigil lasted for three days, and Yelu Hongjun led the team to escort Yelu Longqing's coffin to the emperor's tomb outside the city that had not yet been completely completed.

After the completion of this important event, Yelu Hongjun ascended to the palace hall and prepared to officially ascend the throne. The ministers came to the main hall early, waiting for the auspicious time for the ceremony to begin. However, because Yelu Longqing had just been buried, Yelu Hongjun in order to express his respect for the emperor, so the white curtains and white flags inside and outside the hall were still the same, and there was no joyful scene of lanterns. The former emperor and empress, dressed in black and covered with a black veil, sat on the side of Yelu Longqing. Originally, the former emperor and queen should not have sat here, but Yelu Hongjun was out of respect for the former emperor, so he was particularly courteous to the widow of the former emperor.

Seeing that the auspicious time was coming, there was a sudden sound of clanging footsteps at the door. Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Yelu Yilie, dressed in military uniform, striding in.

Yelu Yilie walked to the center of the main hall and stopped, raised his right hand and pointed at Yelu Hongjun who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said angrily: "My father did not pass on the throne to you, you are usurping the throne by false holy decree!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene exploded.

Yelu Hongjun frowned, and raised his voice: "Your Majesty Bintian summoned me to wait until the bed to pass on the edict, and you were also present, why did you say such a reversible speech?" What the first emperor did not forget when he was in the sky was the peace of the Great Liao, did you, as the son of the first emperor, have to be chaotic in the Great Liao? ”

Yelu Yilie snorted coldly and said loudly to the surrounding ministers and nobles: "Everyone, my father and emperor have not passed down the will at all!" Yelu Hongjun is fabricating a testament and usurping the throne! ”

Immediately, a nobleman with a Central Asian face came out, bowed to Yelu Hongjun and said: "Dare to ask the royal brother, you said that His Majesty ordered you to inherit the throne, I don't know if there is an edict?" He called Yelu Hongjun the king of the imperial brother, and the subtext was that he did not recognize him as the emperor. This man's name was Hassan, and he was a member of the royal family of the former Black Khan. The Black Khan is the Galakhanid Dynasty in history, and it is also known as the Western Hui of the Green Ridge in history. The territory is probably a large area of territory from the south of the West Sea (Lake Balkhash) to the north of Afghanistan. In that year, Yelu Longqing led his people to move westward and defeated the Black Khan, who became part of Western Liao. In order to win the hearts of the people, Yelu Longqing canonized Hassan, the royal family of the Black Khan who voluntarily surrendered him, as the king of Guiyi, and rewarded a considerable part of the land of the Black Khan's homeland to Hassan as a territory. Over the years, Hassan has done his best for Yelu Longqing and won the trust of Yelu Longqing, so Hassan, the king of Guiyi, enjoys a pivotal position in the Western Liao Dynasty.

At that time, from the eastern border of Khorezm to Yumen Pass, there were several countries, in addition to the black Khan, there was Khotan, between the black Khan and Tubo, its capital Khotan was probably near the current Hotan, in addition to the black Khan and Khotan, there were also Xizhou Hui and Huangtou Hui, Xizhou Hui was in the east of the Black Khan, and the Black Khan was as strong as the Black Khan, Xizhou Hui and the Black Khan were originally the same country, and later split into two countries, recovering Gaochang, It has a vast area including the current Urumqi and the Tianshan Mountains; The Huangtou Hui is between the Hui and the Tibetan in Xizhou, to the east of Khotan. These countries no longer exist, except for the Huangtou Hui, which have all become the territory of Western Liao. The Huangtou Hui was annexed by Tibet and is now part of the Ming Dynasty.

In all the countries annexed by the Western Liao, a considerable number of nobles entered the ruling class of the Western Liao. Some people may think that Yelu Longqing's approach is a bit inappropriate and has laid a hidden danger for Xiliao, but in fact, he has no choice but to do so. After all, the Khitans are outsiders, and although they are brave and good at fighting, they are limited in number. In order for Yelu Longqing to establish a foothold in a foreign land, it is obviously not enough to rely only on Khitan warriors, and it is an indispensable means to win the hearts of the locals. Therefore, Yelu Longqing supported those nobles who were unwilling in the original country and voluntarily submitted, and used them to rule the occupied areas. This approach received Yang Peng, and at least during the years of Yelu Longqing's reign, the Western Liao Empire as a whole was still very stable and strong.

When Hassan said this, the entire Black Khan lineage, ministers, and nobles became noisy.

Yelu Yilie was overjoyed when he saw that someone had echoed him, and immediately asked Yelu Hongjun even more aggressively: "Lord Hassan is right, since you said that it was passed down to you by your father, then take out your father's edict!" The Black Khan's men shouted, which made Yelu Yiel feel emboldened.

Yelu Hongjun frowned and said: "You are obviously at the scene, you have seen what the situation is, Your Majesty is a dictator!" But now you want to leave an edict, what is your intention! ”

Ali Dali came out of the ranks, glared at Yelu Yilie angrily, and shouted: "The first emperor personally passed the throne to Yelu Hongjun, and we all saw it with our own eyes!" Are you talking nonsense here now, trying to rebel? The lion-like general roared, and the noisy hall fell silent. Ali Dayi also came out, looked at Yelu Yilie coldly, and said: "Your Majesty inherits the throne, there is no problem, all the generals in the army are witnesses!" Now the emperor of our Great Liao is Yelu Hongjun, and anyone who dares to question it is a rebellion! The words of the two generals stopped the audience, and the entire hall was silent.

Hassan hurriedly said: "Since the two great generals said so, then naturally there is no problem!" Then he apologized to Yelu Hongjun and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me!" Just now, the minister had some questions, and if he didn't ask clearly, he would be disloyal to the emperor! Yelu Hongjun's face softened and said, "Lord Hassan's doubts are understandable. Does Lord Hassan still have any questions in his mind? Hassan immediately said, "No! Ministers should be loyal to His Majesty as if they were loyal to the Emperor! ”

When Yelu Yiel saw that Hassan turned the rudder in an instant, he was very angry, and pointed at Hassan and shouted: "You capricious villain! ”

Hassan frowned, and said angrily: "Please respect yourself, Your Highness!" It's okay for Your Highness to insult me, but it's so rude in front of Your Majesty! ”

Jereh was so angry that he wanted to go up to your lord. "Your Highness!" A woman's shout suddenly came, sexy but also majestic. Yelu Yilie couldn't help but stop, followed the prestige, and saw the queen mother sitting next to Yelu Hongjun. I only heard the Queen Mother say unhappily: "Your father has just been in the sky, but you are so messing around here, what kind of system!" Don't hurry up and get out of here! All the ministers and nobles chimed in, and they all accused Jereil. Yelu Yilie only felt that the whole world was his enemy, and in his indignation, he shouted loudly: "I will never recognize him as an emperor!" The words fell and went away angrily.

The atmosphere at the scene became awkward, and everyone felt full of taste.

The Queen Mother raised her voice and said: "The auspicious time has arrived, and the main hall begins!" When she spoke, everyone knew what to do. Immediately, the master of ceremonies raised his voice and shouted, the horn and drum sounded loudly, Yelu Hongjun went through the procedure according to the etiquette of the Khitans, which was much simpler than the etiquette of the Central Plains Dynasty, and finally Yelu Hongjun returned to the dragon chair and sat down. The civil and military forces and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty bowed down, and the mountain shouted long live, so far, Yelu Hongjun can be regarded as officially becoming the emperor of Western Liao.

Yang Peng was on his way back to Bianliang when he received news from Xiliao that Yelu Longqing had been buried and Yelu Hongjun had ascended the throne as emperor. At the same time, the situation about Yelu Yilie's enthronement ceremony also reached Yang Peng's ears, which made Yang Peng faintly feel something.

That evening, the team rested in a small inn. Yang Peng strolled alone by the stream behind the post station, and the guards were scattered around and guarded from afar.

Yang Erya couldn't find Yang Peng, so she asked the guard, and the guard pointed to the back of the post station and said, "Your Majesty went to the creek for a walk." Yang Erya came out of the back door of the post station, and saw in the distance that under the light of the stars and moon, a long figure was walking, walking on the grass, next to a meandering and sparkling stream. Immediately smiled and walked up.

When he came behind Yang Peng, he called softly: "Big brother." ”

Yang Peng stopped, turned around, and saw Yang Erya. Smiling, he took her hand, and the two of them sat down on the meadow by the stream. Yang Erya looked at the side of her eldest brother's face with a happy smile on her face.

Yang Peng then picked up a stone and threw it into the stream, making a thud. Yang Erya asked, "Big brother seems to be upset about something?" ”

Yang Peng smiled bitterly and said: "The internal situation in the Liao State is tense now, and the emperor of Western Liao has just died, and the domestic political situation is unstable. For our Ming Dynasty, it is the right time to use troops for the Liao State and the Western Liao. But I didn't want to. For the Liao State, I am worried about the safety of Wang Jun and my mother-in-law. Let's use troops against Xiliao, Xiliao is so obedient now, how can I do it, not to mention the relationship with Mei'er. ”

Yang Erya nodded sympathetically and said, "We and Xiliao can be said to be relatives by blood. Before, Xiliao was arrogant and took the initiative to provoke, and it was nothing for us to take the opportunity to fight back. But now that the new emperor of Western Liao is so filial to his eldest brother, it is really unbearable to take the initiative to use troops against them! Yang Peng nodded and sighed, "The matter of Xiliao has to be put aside for the time being. The Liao State is also not easy to use soldiers. I'm wondering if this is the time to focus on solving the problem of the Japanese first. ”

Yang Erya suddenly laughed and said: "The world says how brave and terrifying the eldest brother is!" But I don't know that the eldest brother is actually a lover, and he is very emotional! “

Yang Peng immediately put his palm on Yang Erya's thigh, and wanted to invade upward, and said angrily: "I'm laughing at big brother again!" ”

Yang Erya was pressed on her thigh by Yang Peng's palm, and seeing that the palm would invade at any time, she couldn't help but feel numb all over her body, her delicate face was flushed, and her beautiful eyes were watery. Hurriedly pressed the palm of the eldest brother's hand, and said pitifully: "People don't laugh at the eldest brother!" Big brother, you always wronged others! When Yang Peng saw Yang Erya like this, he couldn't help but feel pity, hugged Yang Erya in his arms, and laughed softly: "It turns out that my eldest brother has wronged my Yang Erya sister!" The eldest brother made amends to the second sister! Then he picked up his fingers and flicked them lightly on Yang Erya's chest, and said in his mouth: "One kowtow, two kowtows......"

Where could Yang Erya withstand such a teasing by the eldest brother, and within a few strokes, she was completely paralyzed in the arms of the eldest brother, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Big brother, let me go!" It's out there! ”

Yang Peng smiled proudly and let Yang Erya go. Holding Yang Erya's soft and fragrant delicate body and looking at the stars and moon in the sky, there was a chirping sound of summer cicadas in her ears, and she only felt peaceful and happy in her heart.

The dispute over the Western Liao region has come to an end for the time being, but the tension within the Liao State has intensified. Both Tiger City and Hugo have mobilized heavy troops, and the armies of the two sides face each other in the air, and a big war seems to be about to break out.

In the big tent of Yelu Tiger City, Han Chang, a trusted general, walked in, bowed down and said, "King, the reinforcements transferred from the west have arrived. ”

Ye Hu Cheng was standing in front of the map with his hands behind his back, and when he heard Han Chang's words, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "I really don't want to meet with Brother Ye Hugh!" But I will not sit idly by and let him listen to slander and plot against me! ”

Han Chang heard that Ye Yu Hucheng seemed to want to reconcile, and hurriedly said: "King, things have come to this point, as the so-called water is difficult to put away the bow and there is no turning back!" Besides, how can he be worthy of being the emperor of our Great Liao Empire? He is not the successor recognized by the emperor's edict! Speaking of which, he only sat on the throne by rebellion, and his name is not right, so the king should not tolerate him anymore! ”

Ye Yu Hucheng frowned and said, "Now that I think about it, it's really strange that Guanyin suddenly sent a messenger to give me a gift. The most strange thing is that on the day the Guanyin envoy came, Brother Ye Hugh actually knew! I'm afraid this is Yang Peng's countermeasure! He's just going to provoke me to go to war with Yaren Hugo! ”

Turning to look at Han Chang, he said, "I know you all want me to be the emperor of the Great Liao Empire!" But it's not that simple! It's nothing, he has a lot of troops, but once the war starts, I'm sure to defeat him! I'm afraid that Da Ming is eyeing the side! Han Chang was stunned, "Da Ming? ”

Ye Hu Cheng frowned and said: "Once the civil war breaks out, with Yang Peng's person, he will definitely invade our Great Liao Kingdom in a big way!" At that time, we were worried about domestic and foreign troubles in Daliao, and the consequences were unimaginable! ”

Han Chang said: "This shouldn't be. Brother Ye Hugh is holding Wang Jun and the concubine in his hands, how dare Yang Peng act rashly? ”

Ye Hu Cheng asked angrily, "Do you really believe that you can hold Yang Peng hostage with those two women?" Yang Peng is a hero of the world, even several emperors can't compare to him! Such a heroic figure would delay a big event for the sake of two women who are not very close?! Han Chang couldn't help but feel justified when he heard Ye Hu Cheng say this, and he couldn't help but worry in his heart.

Ye Hu Cheng frowned and said, "So, it's better for our Liao Kingdom not to have a civil war!" He glanced at Han Chang and said, "I want to send someone to the camp of Ya Yu Hugo and explain my thoughts to him, are you willing to go?" Han Chang hesitated, bowed down and said, "The king has an order, and the last general will go to the soup to fight the fire!" Ye Hu Cheng nodded and said, "Without further ado, you should set off immediately!" Han Chang answered and left the big tent.

After Han Chang left, Yelu Hucheng waited anxiously for his reply. In the past, Yeron Tiger City was rarely so nervous in the face of dangerous situations, but at this moment, Yeron Tiger City couldn't control his emotions.

A few days can be described as years. On the sixth day, Han Chang finally returned.

As soon as Ye Hu Cheng saw Han Chang, he immediately asked, "How is the situation?" Did you say everything I wanted you to say? ”

Han Chang nodded happily and said, "The last general conveyed the king's words to His Majesty the Emperor in person. His Majesty the Emperor said at that time that he was not willing to be an enemy of the king, everyone was a Khitan royal family, and they should work hard for the prosperity of the Great Liao Kingdom, and should not fight among themselves! The reason why the troops are stationed is only because some problems are suspicious! Now that I have heard the king say it clearly, the doubts in my heart have been reduced by more than half! ”

When Ye Hu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and said with relief: "Brother Hugh still knows the severity of his fall!" "Sip, is the real name of Brother Hugh, when Brother Hue was young, Brother Hue called Brother Hugh Hugh.

Yelu Hucheng calmed down and asked, "Did Brother Hugh just say these words without actually making any moves?" ”

Han Chang said: "His Majesty the Emperor ordered the guards to push Mo Luo out and behead him at that time!" This is Moreau's head! Saying that, Han Chang took the wooden box on his back and handed it to Wan Yan Gao.

Yelu Hucheng hurriedly took the wooden box and opened it to see that it was indeed Moreau's head, and he couldn't help laughing. Who is Moreau? It turned out that Moreau was the father of one of the most favored concubines of Yehu Hugh. Previously, Yehu Hucheng and Yehu Hugo had a stalemate, and they each dispatched troops and sent generals, almost fighting each other. Ye Hu Hugo was worried that Han Derang had a great relationship with Ye Hu Cheng and would be the internal response of Ye Hu Cheng, so he hurriedly sent an envoy back to Shangjing, dismissed Han Derang from his official position, put him under house arrest, and changed his father-in-law Mo Luo to be the prime minister. Now that Yehu Hugo actually cut off Moro's head, it was the most drastic means to admit his mistake to Yelu Tiger City, no wonder Yehu Hucheng was so happy.

Han Chang continued: "After Your Majesty executed Moreau, he immediately sent an envoy back to Shangjing to prepare to restore Han Derang's position as prime minister. ”

Ye Hu Cheng said with a look of relief: "Brother Hugh can do this, I am very happy!" Then he asked Han Changdao: "Regarding the meeting between King Ben and Brother Hugh, how did Brother Hugh arrange it?" ”

"Your Majesty said that he did not dare to go to his camp with the king, and that he would send a tent between the two camps, and ask the king to meet him in ten days, so that the king could clear his doubts. At that time, His Majesty will bring only thirty retinues. ”

Ye Hu Cheng nodded and said, "He was quite thoughtful. Okay, that's it. Since Brother Hugh only brought thirty followers, I will not bring any followers. ”

Han Chang was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "The king still has to bring some entourage!" ”

Ye Hu Cheng waved his hand and said, "Brother Hugh has already shown enough sincerity, how can I still be suspicious of him!" After all, I'm a minister, he's a king, I can't be too rude! He glanced at Han Chang and ordered, "You immediately tell Brother Hugh about my attitude!" Han Chang responded and left.

Less than three days later, Han Chang came back and said to Ye Yu Hucheng: "Your Majesty wants the last general to bring a message, saying that you are very grateful to the king for your understanding!" Ye Hu Cheng laughed and said, "Brother Hugh doesn't have to be so polite!" Although he and I are uncles and nephews, we are even more monarchs and ministers, I can't afford to say this! Han Chang said again: "Your Majesty has ordered someone to set up the tent for the meeting." The end will come and see, and there is no problem. Tiger City nodded.

Han Chang came out of the big tent, Zheng Shilong, Barron and other generals immediately surrounded him, and Zheng Shilong asked angrily: "Why do you want to reconcile the king with Ye Hugo!" Barron pulled out his scimitar and said murderously, "You jump up and down like this, I'm going to cut off your dog's leg!" ”

Han Chang looked unkind, and hurriedly said, "You have misunderstood! It wasn't me who persuaded the king, it was the king himself who insisted! I also persuaded the king to come, but the king was not willing to meet with Brother Hume at all, and scolded me! As for the envoy to Jerryhugo, it was an order from the king, how dare I disobey it? ”

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