Chapter 817, civil strife is pacified

Ye Yu Guanyin showed a sad look in anger, frowned, his whole pretty face was full of Sen Han's murderous aura, and said categorically: "Ye Yu Xiu brother killed the eldest brother, I will one day break him into ten thousand pieces!" Yang Peng held the slender hand of Ye Yu Guanyin, and said softly: "Big brother help you!" Ye Yu Guanyin looked at Yang Peng, and a sense of weakness couldn't help but come to her heart, and she couldn't help but lean into Yang Peng's arms.

A few days later, news came from the Tianshan Mountains. Although he is always sneaky, he is also worthy of a generation of heroes. After he successfully eliminated Yehu Hucheng, he immediately led a large army to raid the Yehu Hucheng military camp and surrounded the Yehu Hucheng military camp. Immediately, Yakhugo announced that he would execute Long'er for treason, and showed the head of Yakhu Tiger. This greatly demoralized the Yeehu Tiger City army, who had originally tried to sacrifice their lives in the corner, and almost collapsed.

However, Yehu Hugo did not take this opportunity to launch a full-scale attack, but publicly announced that he would pardon all the crimes of the Yaren Hucheng army, and at the same time promoted Han Chang and several other major generals to generals. This act completely disintegrated the stubborn mood of Dengshi, and the soldiers of the Yehu Hucheng army knelt down the mountain one after another and shouted long live, becoming the troops of Yehu Hugo. A huge crisis that seemed to be about to divide the Liao State was eliminated. The mastery of Yerhugo's methods is breathtaking.

Yang Peng told the cabinet ministers the latest information he received in the imperial study.

The cabinet ministers looked at each other in disappointment, and Ya Kannon was even more angry.

Yang Peng said: "This Brother Hugh is constantly doing amazing things, which is what impresses me!" Huang Guang, Zhang Xiang and the others couldn't help but nodded. Ya Yu Guanyin said angrily: "It's just that he can play tricks!" On the battlefield, we are no match for our army! Han Bing thought so, nodded and said, "Guanyin's words couldn't be more right!" The use of Ye Hugo's power to fight for power and profit in his own country is really powerful, but when it comes to competing with our Ming Dynasty, what is the use of this kind of power and trickery! ”

Yelu Hanyu said: "Brother Yelu may not be a threat to us, but I am afraid that it is a huge threat to Xiliao!" Now that Xiliao's vitality has been greatly damaged, and Yelu Longqing has just passed away, I am afraid that Brother Yelu Xiu will not let go of this great opportunity! Although Western Liao has nothing to do with our Ming Dynasty, if Brother Ye Hugh successfully annexes Western Liao, his strength will far surpass our Ming Dynasty, and the threat to our Ming Dynasty will be great in the future! ”

Everyone nodded, and Ye Yu Guanyin said: "If Ye Hu Brother attacks Western Liao, we must not sit idly by!" Then he looked at Yang Peng.

Yang Peng said: "If the Liao State really attacks Western Liao, of course we can't sit idly by. After a pause, he said, "If this matter can be prevented, it will not be better." He glanced at everyone and said, "I want to send a minister to the Liao State to warn Brother Ye Hugh not to use troops in vain!" The ministers whispered among themselves, and Tang Shidian frowned and said: "If we can't afford to fight, we won't have a chance, so why do we want to do this?" It's not impossible to rescue Western Liao, but you should directly send troops to Liao! If the Liao State dares to use troops against the Western Liao, it will be a great opportunity for us to attack the Liao State on a large scale, and we must not miss it! Your Majesty, national affairs are related to the well-being of all the people in the world, and we must not abolish the public for personal gain! ”

Yang Peng sighed helplessly and said, "Got it!" Then he said to Yelu Hanyu: "Mei'er, tell everyone about your plan." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Yelu Hanyu. Yelu Hanyu said: "Now the emperor of Western Liao is Yelu Hongjun, this person is completely different from Yelu Longqing, he doesn't care about the survival of Liao, only cares about the well-being of the Khitan people. Judging from the current situation, attaching our Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the best destination for the Khitans, which Yelu Hongjun can definitely see. And a considerable number of our Khitan people are already the people of the Ming Dynasty, and I am the concubine of the Ming Dynasty, and the Western Liao and us can be said to be connected by blood, and there must be nothing wrong with the Western Liao attached to the heart. Therefore, I suggested that the eldest brother send me as an envoy to Xiliao to persuade Yelu Hongjun to attach it, and the eldest brother had already agreed to my suggestion. ”

Tang Shidian frowned and said, "What Niangniang said is very reasonable!" If this happens, I will be able to fight thousands of miles without blood! Then he raised his head to look at Yelu Hanyu and asked, "What if Yelu Hongjun is unwilling to attach it?" Yelu Hanyu said: "If it doesn't work, Yelu Hongjun will never dare to offend us." At that time, let's think about what to do based on the actual situation. Tang Shidian didn't say anything more.

Yang Peng saw that everyone had no dissent, so he said: "Since everyone has no opinion, I will send Mei'er to envoy Xiliao on behalf of the Ming Dynasty." Before the dust settles on this matter, we in the Ming Dynasty must protect Western Liao. The crowd agreed in unison.

After the meeting ended, Yang Peng left Yelu Hanyu and talked to her for a while.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yelu Hanyu got up and left Bianliang for the Tianshan Mountains. Yang Peng, Ye Yu Guanyin, and Han Bing sent her out of the city gate. Although Yelu Hanyu wanted to contribute to his husband, but when he parted, he was also soft and resentful, and his eyes made Yang Peng almost cry. Watching the procession drift away, a long time had passed, and it seemed that it was only a moment of effort, and the team had disappeared into the skyline, never to be seen again.

Yang Peng cleaned up his mood and said, "Go home." Then he turned his horse and headed into the city, followed by the two women and the guards.

Yang Peng frowned and said, "Being held hostage by Brother Ye Hugh really makes me very unhappy!" ”

Ya Yu Guanyin said sadly: "Big brother doesn't have to care about my mother!" ”

Yang Peng reached over and grabbed Ye Yu Guanyin's slender hand, and said, "I know that you think about me everywhere, how can I not think about you!" Then he said categorically: "If you really can't save it, there's no way, but now you still have a chance, why give up?" Ye Yu Guanyin looked at Yang Peng with infinite gratitude. She knew that as the emperor of the Ming Empire, he should not be bound by these things, but seeing him think about himself so much, she still couldn't help but be moved in her heart, and she only felt that she could get a husband like this and die without regrets.

Han Bing asked, "Does Big Brother have a solution to this problem?" ”

Yang Peng said: "I have been thinking about this for a long time. The previous distancing between Yerhu Hugo and Yerhu Tiger City was partly due to this consideration. I'm going to let Yaren Hugh know that though he has a hostage in his hands, he's of little use to me. ”

Han Bing said worriedly: "In this way, will it put them in danger?" ”

Yang Peng said: "This is actually a gamble, I can't say how Brother Hugh will react." But if you let Brother Ya Hugh think that he has nothing to fear by holding the hostage, it is even more bad for us and for the hostage itself. Let Yelehugo feel that the hostages are useless, and he must have relaxed his guard on the hostages, and maybe he will have a chance to save people. And we didn't have a direct confrontation with Yashu Hugo, and he felt that the hostages were useful, and he shouldn't be rash to disadvantage them. Hehe, it's like walking a tightrope, it's not easy, no matter which side is a little off, I'm afraid it will lead to consequences that we don't want to see! ”

The two women looked at Yang Peng with admiration. Yang Peng had already fallen into deep thought.

The two daughters said goodbye to Yang Peng and went to the cabinet yamen. Yang Peng returned to the palace on his own.

Halfway down the road, a woman suddenly called out to the side of the road: "Big brother! ”

Yang Peng felt that it seemed to be calling himself, and the voice was quite familiar, so he couldn't help but restrain the horse and follow the sound. I saw a young woman in a lilac dress, with a graceful body, a gorgeous face, and full of beauty, waving to her on the side of the street not far away, it was Li Ruolan, who had not been seen for a long time. Who is Li Ruolan? Friends who have read the above article are naturally no strangers, she is the generation of demon queens who made Western Xia perish. After the Western Xia was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, Li Ruolan followed many party nobles and submitted to the Ming Dynasty. Li Ruolan was canonized as Mrs. Hanhai, and she became prosperous in Daming.

Yang Peng thought of this woman's coquettishness and charm, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and rode his horse over.

Yang Peng turned over and dismounted, and Li Ruolan was about to bow down. Yang Peng didn't want the people to find out about his identity, so he immediately grabbed Li Ruolan's arm so that she couldn't bow down, and said, "I'm Weifu, don't be so polite." ”

Li Ruolan straightened her waist, and under the flow of her beautiful eyes, she said resentfully: "The eldest brother hasn't summoned the concubine for a long time, so he must have forgotten the concubine for a long time!" ”

Yang Peng couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and said secretly: This woman is seducing Lao Tzu again!

Then he couldn't help but say: "Madam is so beautiful and moving, how can I forget!" It's really because I've been busy attacking the Tianshan Mountains recently, and I've only come back recently! ”

Li Ruolan showed joy and said, "I haven't congratulated the eldest brother yet!" The eldest brother is mighty in the Tianshan Mountains, and he has opened up territory for our Ming Dynasty! The eldest brother's martial arts, not to mention that no one can match it in modern times, even the Tang Sect and Song Ancestor are slightly less coquettish! ”

Yang Peng laughed, looked at the bustling street, and said, "Let's find a place to sit down and talk." Li Ruolan said happily: "The concubine body also has this intention!" The concubine's newly purchased mansion is nearby, I wonder if the eldest brother is willing to come? Yang Peng smiled: "Where are so many politeness!" Since your home is nearby, go sit for it! Li Ruolan was very happy, and immediately said: "Big brother, please come with your concubine!" Immediately let the maid lead the way, and she walked side by side with Yang Peng laughing and chatting, with an intimate attitude, and when others saw this, they didn't know each other and thought that this was a pair of beautiful people. The guards and Li Ruolan's servants followed.

At this moment, a guard rode his horse, came to Yang Peng's side, reined in his horse, turned over, and said with a fist: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!" Yang Peng nodded, turned around and smiled at Li Ruolan, who was depressed, and said, "I have something to deal with, so I'm leaving." ”

Li Ruolan looked at Yang Peng with beautiful eyes, looking very regretful and resentful, and sighed: "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, it's really hard!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "It seems that there is no time today, wait for me to be a guest at Mrs. next time." Li Ruolan said angrily: "Your Majesty will definitely have something else to do next time, and I don't know which next time Your Majesty will really come over." Your Majesty, the concubine also knows that Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities and time is precious, but she doesn't dare to invite Your Majesty just to be a guest! The concubine has some business matters that she wants to talk to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty must be interested! ”

Yang Peng immediately became interested, smiled and asked, "What does Madam want to talk to me about?" Li Ruolan smiled and said: "Your Majesty encourages industry and commerce, but now there is an industry that has not really developed. If it develops, it will surely open up a considerable financial route for His Majesty and the Empire. ”

Yang Peng became even more interested when he heard her say this, and asked, "What is it?" Li Ruolan smiled slightly and said angrily: "How can such a thing be said clearly in a few words." When does Your Majesty have time, the concubine comes to see Your Majesty. When the time comes, it will be self-contained and discernmented. ”

Yang Peng couldn't help but smile when he saw her selling Guanzi, and said, "Then after dinner today, you come to see me in the imperial study." Li Ruolan's beautiful eyes lit up, and Ying Ying bowed: "Obey Your Majesty's will." Yang Peng smiled, turned on his horse, and went towards the palace surrounded by all the guards. Li Ruolan looked at Yang Peng's heroic and vigorous back, and a smug smile appeared in her eyes. Then he led his servants and maidservants home.

Li Ruolan returned to the gate of her house, and saw her father leading the whole family and all the servants and maids to stand outside the gate and wait.

Seeing that Li Ruolan was back, Father Li hurriedly looked behind Li Ruolan, and then asked puzzledly, "Ruolan, didn't you say that Your Majesty is coming?" Why didn't you see it? Li Ruolan passed by her father and said, "Your Majesty has something to do temporarily, so you won't come." With that, the man walked through the door. When the whole family heard that His Majesty was coming to be a guest, they were all excited, and they were all busy, cleaning and cleaning, changing dresses, and beaming, as if they were about to celebrate the holidays. At this time, when I heard that His Majesty was not coming, I couldn't help but express my disappointment.

Father Li came to Li Ruolan's courtyard, and saw that Li Ruolan was sitting in front of the moon cave window drinking tea slowly, and hurriedly walked over. sat down beside Li Ruolan and asked with some concern, "Why did Your Majesty say that he didn't come again?" ”

Li Ruolan put down the teacup and said, "Your Majesty doesn't just do whatever you want, who can control it?" Father Li asked worriedly, "Ruolan, are you, did you accidentally offend Your Majesty?" Li Ruolan said angrily: "Father, what are these words!" My daughter is afraid that she is not serving well enough, how dare she offend Your Majesty! ”

"That, that......"

Li Ruolan saw her father's worried and anxious look, and said with a smile: "Father don't worry, nothing happens, it's just that Your Majesty suddenly received a report of urgent military intelligence, so you can't come to our house as a guest!" When Father Li heard his daughter say this, his original worried heart couldn't help but let go a lot, nodded and smiled: "Your Majesty is an unprecedented holy monarch, so naturally you have to focus on military affairs!" Then he said a little depressedly: "My daughter finally met His Majesty on the street today, and it will not be easy to encounter such an opportunity again in the future!" ”

Although Li Ruolan was canonized as Mrs. Hanhai, as a descendant of Western Xia, she couldn't go to see Yang Peng casually. In their case, if they want to see the emperor, they must first apply to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites will forward their request to the cabinet, which will approve it before they can meet the emperor within the prescribed time. However, if someone like them makes an application, there is a high probability that it will be rejected by the Ministry of Rites. Even if the application is sent to the Cabinet by the Ministry of Rites, the Cabinet will not approve it nine times out of ten. In other words, it was not easy for them to see the emperor.

Li Ruolan smiled and said, "Since I met Your Majesty today, how could I let go of this great opportunity." I have made an appointment with Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will meet me in the Imperial Study after dinner today. ”

Father Li was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Really?" Li Ruolan smiled and nodded. Father Li stood up and said excitedly: "Great! What a great opportunity tonight! Ruolan, you must grasp it! ”

Li Ruolan shook her head with a red face and said, "Father, you are wrong. Our Emperor Majesty is different from other emperors, and the temptation of skin and skin is not enough to give her daughter a place in His Majesty's heart. is able to have a romantic affair overnight, and His Majesty will not take it to heart afterwards. If it weren't for this, wouldn't her daughter have already entered the harem? ”

Father Li frowned and nodded, his excitement subsided, and he sat back on the pestle, frowning, "You're right, it's true." Alas, it would be nice if His Majesty were the same as the previous Western Xia emperors! ”

Li Ruolan said angrily: "Father, you can't say this!" Father Li's heart sank, and he nodded hurriedly. Li Ruolan looked out the window and muttered, "Although Your Majesty is as lustful as all men, if you want to truly become his woman, you can't just rely on hue. Looking at all the mothers, either they have shared weal and woe with him, or they have made countless contributions to his hardships, before and after the saddle, and none of them have been honored by virtue of their hue alone. Therefore, if I want to truly become a woman of the dynasty, I must change my previous ways. I want His Majesty to know that I have done a lot for him. Speaking of this, Li Ruolan's delicate face showed a touching smile, and continued: "Your Majesty is actually very affectionate, and when he sees a woman doing a lot of things for him, he can't help but feel grateful. And love often begins with gratitude. ”

Father Li suddenly realized and said, "No wonder Ruolan, you have been studying that matter early and dark these days, the original purpose is here!" Li Ruolan looked at the rippling leaves and petals on the lake outside the window, and muttered: "In fact, for a man like Your Majesty, women can't help but dedicate themselves to him!" Father Li couldn't help but be surprised, and asked in disbelief; "Ruolan, you don't really, really like Your Majesty, right?"

Li Ruolan blushed, turned her head to look at her father, and said angrily: "Isn't it good?" Father Li nodded with a smile and said, "Of course this is good, of course this is good!" Li Ruolan looked out the window again and muttered, "Why do I have to find a way to get close to Your Majesty now, I am confused myself." Father Li smiled: "That's right!" Then Zhengse said: "But daughter, don't be blinded by your feelings, you must know that the harem is as deep as the sea, and you must not be careless!" ”

Li Ruolan smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes flowed, and said, "Who does my father think I am, don't I know this?" Father Li laughed and nodded: "I really worry about my father!" ”

Yang Peng returned to the imperial study of the palace, saw Han Bing waiting for him, and immediately asked, "What is the urgent military situation?" Han Bing immediately handed over the red cover that he had just received to Chen Xiao. Yang Peng took the book, and when he saw the cover, it was sent by Shi Liancheng, and he couldn't help but feel moved. Immediately opened the cover, took out the letter paper and looked at it. A moment later, Yang Peng sat down behind the bookcase, his face showing thought. raised his head to look at Han Bing, who was standing opposite the bookcase, and said with a smile: "Guess what Erlang said in the letter." ”

Han Bing couldn't help but smile and said, "This matter is too easy to guess, Shi Liancheng must have said something about Tianzhu in the letter, presumably related to the attack on Tianzhu by the Catholic coalition army." Yang Peng praised: "Han Bing, you are so smart!" That's not a bad guess at all! Han Bing said angrily: "Big brother, you are laughing at me!" ”

Yang Peng said: "The conscience of heaven and earth, I am a real compliment, how can it become a joke!" Han Bing glanced at Yang Peng and said, "If you can't guess such a simple thing, then wouldn't I be too stupid!" Yang Peng blinked, "Is it simple?" Why didn't I guess that! Then he shook his head and said, "It seems that I am so stupid!" Han Bing chuckled and gave Yang Peng a strange look.

Then he looked at the letter in Yang Peng's hand and asked, "What is the situation of the battle over there?" ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "Han Bing, you might as well guess." Han Bing pondered: "Judging from the situation last time, presumably the situation of the Tianzhu people is not very good. However, this time the Tianzhu people also have favorable conditions. Last time, the main force of the Tianzhu people was pinned down by our army, so that there were not many troops to deal with the Heavenly Kingdom Alliance. Moreover, at that time, the Tianzhu people did not expect that the Heavenly Alliance Army would raid them, and they were taken by surprise, so that they suffered heavy losses. This time the situation is different, the Tianzhu people have received our early warning in advance, and they are able to concentrate their forces to deal with it. Therefore, although the situation of the Tianzhu people is not very good, it must be difficult for the Heavenly Alliance to make great progress. Today's battle situation should be that the Tianzhu people are slightly unfavorable, but on the whole maintain a situation of fighting each other. ”

Yang Peng smiled and said: "Han Bing's analysis can be said to be meticulous, I originally thought the same." When Han Bing heard Yang Peng say this, he asked in surprise, "Isn't the battle situation like this?" General Yang Peng handed the report to Han Bing and said, "Not only is this not the case, but it is also greatly unexpected!" Han Bing hurriedly took the military newspaper and read it, his face changed suddenly, and he looked surprised and surprised, and couldn't help but say, "How can this be?" Yang Peng sighed: "It's really unexpected!" I thought that the two sides would be evenly matched, but I didn't expect it to become like this! ”

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