Chapter 825, Things Have Changed

The snow-white robe is across Yan Ji's waist, revealing slender and sexy legs and a flat and smooth pink back, and there is still infinite spring on a stunning face that will make the goddess jealous, and the beautiful eyes are half-open and half-closed, and the fatal charm ripples in the meantime. The limbs of the two were tightly intertwined, and the occasional whispered touching love words, and Yan Ji let out a chuckle from time to time.

After hearing her lover tell another meat joke, Yan Ji raised her right hand and gently punched her lover's chest, and said angrily: "Say this!" You haven't answered my question yet! ”

Yang Peng hadn't completely recovered from the lingering just now, and when he heard this, he couldn't help asking, "What's the problem?" ”

Yan Ji said angrily: "I'm asking you, since you don't plan to start a full-scale war with Western Liao, why do you want to transfer so many heavy supplies to the northwest?" ”

Yang Peng then remembered the question Yan Ji asked just now, stroked Yan Ji's waist and hips that made him love it, and said with a smile: "The reason is very simple, this arrangement is not aimed at Xiliao. Yan Ji's heart moved, and asked, "Is it aimed at the Liao State?" ”

Yang Peng nodded, and then thought: "Actually, it is not right to say that this arrangement is completely aimed at the Liao State. I hope that Western Liao will be completely incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but this is not the case like now. Then he smiled and said, "But now this situation can be used as a transition!" In fact, the conditions I later proposed to the Western Liao Kingdom were just a trick, and they also wanted to get some additional benefits. Emperor Xiliao removed the title of emperor, proclaimed himself a vassal to our Ming Dynasty, and accepted the canonization of our Ming Dynasty, these have actually achieved my goal. Yan Ji didn't understand very well, and said, "Aren't these all false names?" What's the use? ”

Yang Peng gently pinched Yan Ji's buttocks and asked with a smile, "Do you really think these are just false names?" Yan Ji said angrily: "Isn't it? I can't imagine any real benefit from these false names! ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "Don't look at these false names that can't bring direct benefits, but with these false names, we can justifiably intervene in the affairs of Western Liao!" Do you understand? Since he Emperor Xiliao is nothing more than my courtier, what happened to the courtier's fiefdom, can't I, as the master, intervene? When Yan Ji heard this, she finally understood, and suddenly realized: "That's the case!" Then he glanced at his lover and said angrily: "Don't say it's treacherous, this can be called a treacherous ghost!" ”

Yang Peng glared and said: "Dare to say that husband, look at the family law and wait!" As he spoke, he hugged Yan Ji's waist and turned over, pressing Yan Ji's infinitely sexy delicate body under him. Yan Ji smiled coquettishly, and when her beautiful eyes were circulating, her beautiful legs were raised high and hooked her lover's tiger waist. ……

Yelu Hanyu anxiously waited for Yang Peng's reply, this night. Yang Qi rushed into Yelu Hanyu's bedroom with a letter, and said urgently: "Sister Mei'er, the reply from the eldest brother has arrived!" As he spoke, he handed the letter to Jeruhanyu.

Yelu Hanyu hurriedly took the letter, opened it and read it, and when she came up with a look of surprise, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Great! Your Majesty agreed! Then he said to Yang Qi: "Eighth sister, you immediately go to the palace and invite Yelu Hongjun to come over to discuss matters!" Yang Qi promised and ran down. Yelu Hanyu looked at Yang Peng's reply again, and the corners of his eyebrows and mouth were very happy. Yelu Hanyu thought that his lover would accept Yelu Hongjun's conditions entirely because of himself, so he was grateful and happy in his heart, and his affection was lingering. However, Yang Peng is indeed for her sake to adopt such a troublesome policy towards Xiliao. If according to Yang Peng's original intention, wouldn't it be much easier to attack on a large scale when the domestic situation was unstable in Yelu Longqing's new mourning? However, for the sake of Yelu Hanyu and the thousands of Khitan soldiers who worked for the Ming Dynasty, Yang Peng was willing to give Xiliao a chance, so Yang Peng adopted this strategy that seemed to him to be very troublesome.

Yelu Hanyu was waiting for Yang Qi to come back in the inn, but she didn't expect that she had been gone for more than half an hour and had not heard from her. Yelu Hanyu couldn't help but feel a bad feeling in his heart. Immediately called the captain of the Feifeng Female Guard, and ordered: "Send someone to the palace immediately to see what Yang Qi is delaying because of something!" The captain clenched his fists and ran.

However, in less than a moment, the captain came back again, and Yang Qi, who had been gone for a long time, also returned.

Yelu Hanyu saw Yang Qi and hurriedly asked, "What happened, why did you go for so long?" Why didn't Yelu Hongjun come? ”

Yang Qi said angrily: "I went outside the palace to ask to see Yelu Hongjun, and the general guarding the door went in to report, but when he came out, he said that their emperor was in a hurry and was not in the palace. This is a lie that even a three-year-old wouldn't believe! If the emperor is not there, doesn't the general of the palace gate know? I have to go in and ask before I know! I immediately asked him where the emperor was going to deal with urgent matters? That palace gate general couldn't even speak! I asked him again if the emperor was in the palace and did not want to see our mother. General Miyamen just denied it. I saw that grinding with them at the palace gate was not a way, so I went to find their Dingbei king, who knew that the Dingbei king also gave me a closed door! These people have suddenly become so yin and yang, and I don't know what it means! After speaking, he looked angry.

Yelu Hanyu frowned and paced back and forth, muttering, "Is this the case? Yesterday, the attitude of Yelu Hongjun and the ministers was very respectful! Why did everything change all of a sudden? ”

Yang Qi said angrily: "I think those guys want to regret it!" ”

Yelu Hanyu's heart moved, and he muttered, "Repentance? Why should they go back on it? The eighth sister went to invite them today, but they avoided it, obviously because there was some change in their minds. Not long ago, there was nothing unusual, why did it suddenly change? ”

Yang Qi hurriedly said: "Sister Mei'er, you can't take the initiative to see that Yelu Hongjun!" Hmph, those guys are obviously deliberately taking a shelf, and they want Sister Mei'er to meet them to earn some face! Sister Mei'er is the wife of the eldest brother and the concubine of our Ming Dynasty, so we can't let Yelu Hongjun have the upper hand! ”

Yelu Hanyu smiled: "Sister knows!" Then he thought: "Yelu Hongjun and the others shouldn't have changed like this for no reason, something must have happened!" ......" Yang Qi said angrily: "If Yelu Hongjun doesn't know how to lift, we will support Yelu Yilie!" Let's see what he does! ”

Yelu Hanyu reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing! You're just venting your frustration, but it's not like that's what you're listening to! If Yelu Hongjun really doesn't know how to lift, maybe we will contact Yelu Yilie, but this kind of thing must be decided by the eldest brother, we are in Xiliao, we can't say more, so as not to be heard by outsiders and ruin the big brother's big thing! Yang Qi stuck out her tongue.

Yelu Hanyu pondered for a moment, and instructed Yang Qi: "You immediately send someone to pretend to be the local people of Xiliao and go outside the palace, outside the palace of the king of Dingbei, and outside the state guesthouse in Xicheng to monitor. Remember, choose a sergeant who is agitated, and don't let the people of the local government notice it. Yang Qi answered and ran down. Jeruhanyu paced back and forth, imagining the possibilities that could lead to the current situation. Do you want to report the change in the situation here to the eldest brother immediately? Yelu Hanyu pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head. She knew that in terms of her eldest brother's concern for her, things had changed unexpectedly, and there was a chance that her eldest brother would recall her by the emperor's order! In that case, the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Western Liao may not be avoidable, which is really something I don't want to see, and it is also very unwilling! Moreover, there is almost no precedent for failure for all the sisters who have taken on great things, and if they create such a bad precedent, they will not be able to raise their heads in front of the sisters!

As soon as he thought of this, Yelu Hanyu made up his mind and decided not to report the change in the situation to the eldest brother for the time being, and tried to solve it by himself first. After thinking about it, he ordered someone to recruit Yang Gui and told him to defend carefully. Yelu Hanyu had already faintly sensed some danger, so he asked Yang Gui to be vigilant and take precautions, if the worst really happened, he would not be caught off guard and there would be no room to fight back. Yang Gui saw that Niangniang solemnly ordered down, and subconsciously felt that something bad might have happened to things, so he promised and hurried down.

As soon as Yang Gui arrived below, he summoned all the officers, assigned tasks, canceled the previous arrangement of shift rest, and all officers and soldiers entered the highest state of combat readiness in order to deal with unforeseen situations at any time. Yang Gui had already planned, once the worst happened, he would use the infantry army to contain the enemy, and he would lead the war horse to escort Niangniang out of the encirclement! Everyone can die here, and no matter what, keep the mother safe!

Yelu Hanyu summoned the captain of the Feifeng Female Guard, handed her a letter that had just been written, and instructed: "You immediately disguise yourself as a local woman, go out through the back door, and take this letter to General Aliqi's mansion, and be sure to personally hand over the letter to General Aliqi." Remember, don't be found out by anyone! The captain said yes and rushed down.

The captain, disguised as a local woman, left the inn through the back door and walked through the alley onto the street, drowning in the bustling crowd of inconspicuous people.

Moments later, the captain arrived outside the mansion of General Arich. Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly saw several palace guards from Xiliao running outside the gate. The captain hurriedly stopped, pretending to look at the goods of the roadside vendors, but the corner of his eye was paying attention to the movement at the door. I saw that the palace guards said a few words to the guards guarding the door, and the guards guarding the door hurriedly led them in.

The captain waited at the door for a moment, and then saw the palace guards leave. The captain was about to go when he saw Aliqi, dressed in military uniform, riding out of the gate surrounded by sergeants. Looks like they're going somewhere.

The captain didn't think about it, and hurriedly rushed forward and stopped in front of the team. Aliqi and the others were shocked when they suddenly saw a woman rushing over and stopping her, and the sergeants immediately drew their swords and surrounded her.

The captain shouted, "General Aliqi, don't you know me?" ”

Aliqi looked at it and saw that the woman was not the captain of the guard beside the eldest princess? Hurriedly drank the sergeants away. Then he turned over and dismounted, walked up to the captain, and asked, "Why are you dressed like this?" Is it a mother, does she have any orders? The captain immediately handed over the handwritten letter of Yelu Hanyu to Aliqi, and said, "This is what my mother wants me to hand over to you!" Aliqi quickly bowed down and took it with both hands. The captain clenched his fists and said, "The letter has been delivered, farewell." Then he turned and left.

Aliqi quickly opened the envelope, took out the stationery, and unfolded it. There were only a few Khitan characters written on the letterhead: 'If there is an emergency, come and see you quickly!' ’

Aliqi said to the sergeants around him: "Go to the State Guesthouse!" When even an officer said, "But General, Your Majesty summoned you, how can you go to the State Guesthouse first?" ”

Alichile turned his horse's head and said, "I'll see Your Majesty later!" Then he galloped towards the state guesthouse. When the sergeants saw this, they hurried to follow.

Soon after, Aliqi hurried to the hall of the state guesthouse, saw Yelu Hanyu in civilian clothes, and immediately knelt down on his knees and bowed: "The last general has seen Niangniang!" "Get up." "Xie Niangniang." Immediately Aliqi stood up, still hanging his head respectfully.

Yelu Hanyu asked, "I heard that when my people went to look for you, a palace guard saw you first?" ”

Aric nodded, "Yes." His Majesty sent someone to summon the last general into the palace to face the saint. ”

"Well, what did he summon you for?"

Aliqi said: "The person who came didn't say it, only said that His Majesty had an urgent matter!" ”

Yelu Hanyu asked, "Since Yelu Hongjun summoned you, why did you come to me first?" Aliqi didn't think about it and said, "It's always the mother's thing that is more important!" ”

Yelu Hanyu suddenly asked sharply: "In that case, why did you collude with Yelu Hongjun with the intention of murdering me?" ”

Aric was shocked, knelt down with a thud, and said urgently: "How can this be?!" Why do you say that?! ”

Yelu Hanyu said sharply: "If Yelu Hongjun has no bad intentions, why did he avoid the envoy I sent?" ”

Aliqi said in a daze: "This, this general is completely unaware!" Your Majesty, how could he ......"

Yelu Hanyu stared at Aliqi's eyes, and saw that there was no other expression in his eyes except for confusion and confusion, and he knew that Aliqi respected him like a god, and would never dare to have the slightest disrespect and concealment, so his expression couldn't help but ease. He said: "Not only Yelu Hongjun avoided my messenger, but even Yelu Zhong. Say anything, even if you go out, hum, but at this time you send someone to summon you, it is clearly a lie. ”

Aliqi said angrily: "I'll ask Your Majesty!" With that, he was leaving.

"Stop!" Yelu Hanyu shouted.

Aliqi said with great indignation: "Niangniang, I want to ask Your Majesty why he dares to be so disrespectful to Niangniang!" ”

Yelu Hanyu stood up, walked up to Aliqi, and said, "You will mess things up by asking that. Aliqi frowned, looking unsure of what to do.

Yelu Hanyu pondered: "If there is such a sudden change, something must have happened." He looked at Aliqi and said, "Don't ask Yelu Hongjun anything, you only need to pay attention to one thing for me, that is, whether anyone has come to see Yelu Hongjun recently." There is also what Yelu Hongjun and Yeluzhong are discussing. Aliqi bowed in agreement.

Yelu Hanyu returned to the top and sat down, and said, "You must not be able to hide this matter from Yelu Hongjun when you come to me." When you see him, you don't have to hide it from him, you can say it generously, just say that I can't find him Yelu Hongjun and Yeluzhong, so I have to look for you. Looking for you to pass on the news, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has agreed to their conditions. When Aliqi heard that the Ming Emperor had agreed to the terms proposed by His Majesty, he couldn't help but look happy.

Yelu Hanyu advised: "That's it, don't say too much." "Yes." Yelu Hanyu thought for a while and said, "If you have any information about Yelu Hongjun, you must inform me immediately." Don't come in person, it's too eye-catching. All you need to do is send a reliable subordinate in disguise. "Yes."

Yelu Hanyu glanced at Aliqi and said, "Okay, that's it, you go to see your emperor Yelu Hongjun." Remember, just say what I tell you, don't say anything superfluous. Aliqi bowed and said, "The last general has written it down." The last will be retired. Then he bowed down and retreated.

After leaving the state guesthouse, Aliqi immediately went to the palace. In the imperial study, I met Emperor Yelu Hongjun.

Yelu Hongjun looked at Aliqi and asked lightly, "Why did it take you so long to come over?" ”

Aliqi said: "The last general received a call from Niangniang, so he went to the state guesthouse to meet Niangniang." Niangniang said to the last general that she sent someone to see Your Majesty today, but Your Majesty was not there. But isn't Your Majesty obviously in the harem, what's going on? ”

Yelu Hongjun said: "Well, I was indeed not here before, and I came back just now." ”

Where could Aliqi believe it, he forcibly resisted the urge to question him, and said: "Just now Niangniang said to the last general that His Majesty the Ming Emperor has agreed with His Majesty's opinion, and asked the last general to tell His Majesty about this matter. ”

Yelu Hongjun sighed, thought for a moment, raised his head and said to Aliqi: "Aliqi, now that Yeluzhong has returned to the capital to help me deal with the important matters in front of me, there is no one on the other side of the West Sea, which really makes me feel at ease." You were originally my famous general of the Great Liao, and later followed the first emperor to move west and established the Liao State in a hundred battles, with outstanding prestige, and no one in the court today can match. Therefore, I want you to go to the West Sea, and temporarily replace the king of Dingbei to sit in the West Sea, so as to ensure that my northern frontier is safe. Get up at once. ”

Aliqi immediately said: "No! ”

Yelu Hongjun frowned, and said unhappily: "This is the holy decree, do you want to resist the decree?" ”

Aliqi said solemnly: "The last general has been very unwell recently and can't travel far!" ”

Yelu Hongjun glanced at Aliqi, and saw that this guy was still so energetic, where was a little sick, and immediately said unhappily: "You look like you're not feeling well!" Don't you know that talking nonsense in front of me is the sin of deceit? Seeing what Aliqi was about to say, he immediately stopped and shouted: "Don't say any more!" My decree has been issued, if you dare to resist the decree and disrespect, don't blame me for not being merciful! Step aside! Aliqi was so angry that he couldn't help it, snorted, didn't salute, and turned away. Yelu Hongjun looked at Aliqi's back, his eyes showed murderous aura, how could a king allow his subordinates to be so rude to him! However, if he wanted to kill Aliqi, Yelu Hongjun didn't dare, at least for the time being. After all, Aliqi's identity is extraordinary, and killing him rashly will probably make the subordinates dissatisfied, and the people's hearts will be turned back!

After Aliqi left, the tent behind Yelu Hongjun was opened, and a person came out, who was Yeluzhong, the king of Dingbei. Yelu Zhong came to Yelu Hongjun's side, bowed down and bowed, "Your Majesty." ”

Yelu Hongjun snorted: "Aliqi is really unsightly! ”

Yelu Zhong glanced outside and said, "I'm afraid Aliqi will only respect that Yelu Niangniang!" ”

Yelu Hongjun snorted and asked Yelu Zhongdao, "How did you talk with the Liao envoy?" ”

Yelu Zhong showed joy and said, "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly!" All the conditions we put forward, the Liao envoy agreed! ”

Yelu Hongjun showed joy on his face, and hurriedly asked, "Have they all agreed to my conditions?" Yeluzhong nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes." Yelu Hongjun was so excited that he paced back and forth, and his mood seemed very excited. It turned out that the Liao envoy suddenly came secretly yesterday and brought the kindness of Ye Hugo. The Liao envoy said that the Liao State hoped to form a true ally with the Western Liao State, and from then on, they would advance and retreat together, share weal and woe, and never lose each other. And the responsibility for the previous defeat was put on the dead Yelu Hucheng and Daming, in order to show his sincerity, Yehu Huge also expressed his willingness to marry his most beloved sister Princess Pingsong to Yelu Hongjun through the messenger, and the two sides have since become in-laws.

Yelu Hongjun and Yeluzhong had already decided to attach themselves to the Ming Dynasty, but in the face of the olive branch suddenly thrown by the Liao side, they couldn't help but be moved. So Yelu Hongjun and Yeluzhong decided to hold back the Ming side for the time being, and at the same time talk with the Liao side. Because of the fear that this matter would leak out and cause an uncontrollable situation, so far only Yelu Hongjun himself and Yelu Zhong knew about this matter, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces and nobles were unaware of the arrival of the Liao envoy. This morning, Na Yelu Zhong had a secret conversation with the Jin envoy, and Ye Lu Zhong added many Yelu Hongjun's conditions on the basis of the conditions put forward by the Liao envoy, including the conditions of 1 million taels of silver and 10,000 war horses that the Liao State would support the Western Liao State every year. In the negotiations with Liao, the Western Liao State seemed to be in an active position, not to contribute anything to the Liao State, but to make demands on the Liao State. The envoys of the Liao State agreed to the demands of the Western Liao side without hesitation.

Yelu Zhong said to Yelu Hongjun: "Your Majesty, depending on the Liao State, our Western Liao will not only not pay any price, but will benefit a lot!" Yelu Hongjun stopped and couldn't help but nod.

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