Chapter 827, pretending to be humble
Aliqi looked at Yelu Hanyu for a while, came back to his senses, quickly lowered his head, and couldn't help but say: "The last general can follow Niangniang, it is a great blessing for the last general!" In the heart of the last general, Niang Niang will always be the master of the last general! The last general will be crushed to pieces, and no one will be allowed to murder his mother! ”
Yelu Hanyu nodded and said, "I have always known your loyalty. Aliqi was so excited that he felt that he was dying immediately, and he had no regrets.
Yelu Hanyu returned to his position and sat down, smiling, "No one wants to murder me, so you don't have to be nervous." ”
Aliqi said puzzledly: "But the mother just said ......"
Yelu Hanyu said: "That doesn't mean that Yelu Hongjun wants to murder me. Then he thought: "According to what I have learned, the Liao State has sent a secret envoy, and it is now in the mansion of the king of Dingbei. Yelu Hongjun and Yelu Zhong should be transferring you now, because they must be worried that you will find out that they are secretly talking with the envoy of the Liao State and make trouble. Aliqi only knew about the envoy of the Liao State at this time, and couldn't help but be very angry, "How can Your Majesty do this!" ”
Yelu Hanyu smiled: "Human nature, just like when we go to the market to buy goods, we always have to shop around." Then he advised: "You must remember, don't mention this matter to Yelu Hongjun and Yeluzhong, not only will you not be able to help, but it will be a bad thing!" ”
Aliqi was very unwilling, but he did not dare to disobey the mother's order, so he bowed down and agreed. Then he said: "The messenger of the Liao people is here, and the safety of Niangniang is really worried!" The last general immediately entered the palace and asked His Majesty to send someone else to sit in the West Sea! ”
Yelu Hanyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is impossible. Don't say anything to Yelu Hongjun, since he wants you to go to the West Sea, you can go to the West Sea. Aliqi was very puzzled and asked, "Niangniang just said that His Majesty was going to transfer me to the West Sea, because she was worried that I would obstruct his plot, why do you want me to obey his orders?" ”
Yelu Hanyu said: "Yelu Hongjun is just trying to weigh the pros and cons between us and Liao, you can't help here, but it will make Yelu Hongjun suspicious, which is not conducive to prompting Yelu Hongjun to join the Ming Dynasty." Therefore, you should follow the orders of Yelu Hongjun and go to the West Sea to defend it. ”
Aliqi said worriedly: "If something happens and the last general is not here, wouldn't it be dangerous for the mother!" ”
Yelu Hanyu smiled: "Don't worry, I don't expect it to be fine!" Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if something happens, the 10,000 elites around me are enough to protect my safety. Seeing that Aliqi still had doubts on his face, he said, "This matter is decided!" Then he stood up and said, "You will immediately go to the West Sea to guard according to the will of Yelu Hongjun." Aliqi had no choice but to bow down and agree.
Yelu Hanyu said to one of the guards beside him, "You will follow Aliqi." The defender clenched his fists in agreement.
Yelu Hanyu turned to Aric and said, "He will follow you with carrier pigeons in order to keep in touch." Aliqi said happily: "That's good, if the mother has a summoning, the last general will know it immediately!" Yelu Hanyu smiled slightly.
In the Imperial Study. Yelu Zhong walked in and saw Yelu Hongjun standing behind the bookcase and splashing ink, so he couldn't help but walk up curiously. I saw a blank piece of paper spread out on the bookcase, and eight big characters were written: heaven and earth, sun and moon, great rivers and mountains. A vast and vast momentum came to the face. Jeruzhong couldn't help but exclaim, "Good word! Yelu Hongjun laughed, put down the wolf's hair, looked at his masterpiece, and said with a smile: "It's exciting, and it's done with a wave, it's finally unsatisfactory!" ”
Yelu said: "Your Majesty's words are quite heroic, it seems that Your Majesty does not want to be subordinate to the Great Liao!" ”
Yelu Hongjun walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said: "The Khitan people were originally just my Khitan people, and it was only because of the mediocrity of the previous emperors that they were able to rise and establish a state. Night replaces day, heaven and earth have reversed, but the cycle of heaven, day always has a moment to return. Yeluzhong walked up to Yelu Hongjun and said, "Your Majesty's ambition is really admirable!" But it's not easy to return to daylight! Yelu Hongjun said with a smile: "So we can't be in a hurry, the first thing to do is to Taoguang and raise obscurity, use the battle between Liao and Ming to profit from it, and slowly develop and grow ourselves." He turned his head to look out the window and muttered: "As long as we persevere, sooner or later, we in Xiliao will be able to accumulate enough strength to set things right and bring the heavens, earth, sun and moon back on track!" Jeruzhong couldn't help but nodded.
Yelu Hongjun remembered something, turned his head and asked, "Has Aliqi left the capital?" ”
Jeluzhong said: "The minister is here to report this matter." I got the news just now that Aliqi had led his subordinates to leave the capital and go north. ”
Yelu Hongjun put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Aliqi is leaving, we don't have any worries." Yeluzhong said with a smile: "The West Sea is the place of the ministers, and all the generals of the West Sea army are loyal to Your Majesty and the ministers, and Aliqi is only a nominal commander when he arrives there, and he will never cause trouble for His Majesty again." Yelu Hongjun smiled slightly, and then frowned: "Aliqi is not a simple character, I think that when our Da Liao was still in his homeland, he was the number one warrior of our Da Liao, can the cave deal with him?" Don't let him finally seize the command, then stealing chickens will not be lost! ”
Yeluzhong smiled: "Your Majesty is too worried. It is true that Aliqi is the number one warrior of our Great Liao. But he is just a reckless man, and no matter how powerful he is, he can't deal with the hundreds of thousands of troops under the command of the cave. What if he finds out that he has been set up, if he moves, he can be killed on the spot! ”
Yelu Hongjun put his mind at ease, nodded, and said, "Having said that, it's better not to kill him unless you have to." After all, Aliqi is the elder general of our Great Liao, and he is still very influential in the army. If you kill him rashly, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the generals. Don't kill him unless you have to. Yeluzhong nodded, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the ministers have already ordered to go down." Yelu Hongjun smiled and nodded, looked at Yeluzhong, and said with relief: "With you to help the widow, the widow can sit back and relax!" Yeluzhong was overjoyed and said, "It is an honor for the minister to share the worries of His Majesty!" ”
Yelu Hongjun patted Yeluzhong on the shoulder, returned to the bookcase and sat down, while Yeluzhong returned to the front of the bookcase.
Yelu Hongjun looked at Yelu Zhong and said, "In two days, our envoy will set off to meet Yelu Huge with the envoy of Liao. The next few months are critical moments, and we must be extra cautious not to let Her Royal Highness the eldest princess find out. If you fall short for Shanjiu, it will be depressing. ”
Yeluzhong nodded and said, "Tomorrow is Mrs. Chen's birthday, and the minister plans to invite the eldest princess to the banquet." ”
Yelu Hongjun smiled: "Very good! There are more banquets like this! Let's be extremely respectful, only in this way will the eldest princess not be suspicious! In the meantime, if you order Alidaii to take his army around the neighborhood, you will be on a crusade against the rebels. "Yes."
Yelu Hanyu stood in the backyard, strolling while looking at the letter he had just received from his lover, and his delicate face showed a girlish smile. I read the letter several times, but I still can't get enough. Putting down the letter, looking up into the distance, I couldn't help but sigh. Yelu Hanyu couldn't help but regret a little, regretting that he shouldn't have taken this responsibility, now that he is thousands of miles away from his eldest brother, it is really uncomfortable to be worried. After some resentment, I cleaned up my mood, folded the letter and put it in my arms, and thought about the current matter. Walking among the green trees with her hands behind her back, the wind moves the green silk, beautiful, like a goddess who has come to the mortal world to relax.
Hurried footsteps came from behind him, "Sister Mei'er! ……”
Yelu Hanyu smiled slightly, and he didn't need to turn around to know who was coming. Stopped and turned around, only to see Yang Qi in military uniform rushing over.
Yang Qi ran to Yelute and said, "Sister Mei'er, Yeluzhong is here." ”
Yelu Hanyu walked towards the hall, and Yang Qi hurriedly followed. When he came to the hall, he saw Jeruzhong standing in the middle of the hall. When Yeluzhong saw Yelutri coming in, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Meet Niangniang!" ”
Yelu Hanyu walked up to the top and sat down, and said with a smile: "The king doesn't need to be polite. "Xie Niangniang." Then he straightened his waist, bowed down and said: "Niangniang, tomorrow is the birthday of Mrs. Chen, the minister plans to hold a family banquet, I wonder if the minister is fortunate to invite Niangniang to the banquet?" ”
Yelu Hanyu smiled and said, "Since it is the birthday of the princess, I will definitely congratulate you." ”
Yeluzhong said happily: "If the mother can come, it will be really an honor for the minister and the lady!" ”
Yelu Hanyu smiled and said, "The king doesn't have to be polite. You and I are all members of the Jerod family, and we are one family. Yeluzhong said movingly: "Yes, yes, we and Niangniang are family!" The two sides chatted a few more words, and Yeluzhong said that the court still had affairs to deal with and left.
In the side courtyard of the Dingbei King's Mansion, several men in Khitan costumes were talking, but they were not speaking Khitan dialect, but the Xi language. Among them, the middle-aged man with a thin and thin temperament said indignantly: "Tomorrow, Yeluzhong will hold a birthday party for his wife, but he wants us to hide here and not go out!" It just doesn't make sense! ”
The middle-aged man with a calm temperament next to him said: "Yelu invited Yelu Hanyu, so naturally we can't show up." Didn't Jerod say that? The purpose of this banquet is to paralyze the Ming side, so that the Ming side will not suspect that they are in peace talks with us. ”
The middle-aged man who spoke earlier snorted and said, "I don't really believe in the Khitans!" Who knows if they're lying to us! ”
The middle-aged man with a calm temperament frowned and said, "Probably not!" ”
The middle-aged man with a thin yin owl said coldly: "This is not necessarily! Anyway, I don't believe in the Khitans! ”
The middle-aged man with a calm temperament looked at the middle-aged man who was full of nobility sitting at the top, and asked respectfully, "My lord, what do you think?" "This middle-aged man full of nobility is the envoy who secretly sent an envoy to the Western Liao under the order of the Brother of the Sixties, named Tanzhong, a Han man, the father of one of the favorite concubines of the Brother of the Sixties, who followed the Brother of the Seventies very early, and was loyal to the Brothers of the Sixties, and also won the trust of the Brothers, so the Brothers sent him to carry out the important task of winning over the Western Liao. And the two young men who spoke just now were his right-hand men, the one with a thin yin owl was named Black Dog, and the one with a calm temperament was originally a well-known Confucian student in Henan, named Zhang Jinsheng.
During the Zhao and Song dynasties and the short reign of the Jin State, Zhang Jinsheng was very proud of his Confucian status, served in the yamen, looked down on the people of the world, and thought that he was superior. However, when the Ming Dynasty occupied Henan, Confucianism was deposed, and almost all Confucian scholars who could only do anything were swept away, and Zhang Jinsheng, who had no official reputation, was naturally not spared. After that, Zhang Jinsheng was ridiculed by the people around him, and in anger, he left Bianliang with his family and went north, and went to Liao to devote himself to the Danzhong Mansion, which was not very high at that time, and became a secretary. He regained the feeling of being on top again, and naturally thought that he was a Khitan, often scolding Yang Peng and insulting the Han people, just like a Khitan face. This is really just like Yang Peng said, the more people who read the book, the dirtier their hearts are, far less simple and cute than reckless!
Getting back to the point, Tan Zhong listened to the words of the two cronies, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "It's not impossible for the black dog to say!" He glanced at the two of them and said, "If we are sold by the Khitans, I'm afraid this life will not be saved!" The two cronies nodded sympathetically, both looking very worried.
Tan Zhong frowned and said, "The most troublesome thing now is that it is not easy to inquire about Yelu Hongjun's true intentions!" ”
Zhang Jinsheng immediately said: "My lord, that Guiyi King Hassan may be able to give it a try." ”
Tan Zhong immediately remembered a person he met in a restaurant in the city not long ago. At that time, Tan Zhong was really bored in Yeluzhong's mansion, so he went to the city restaurant to drink and relax. In the restaurant, a few people drank happily, and they forgot to say a few words of Xi dialect. Unexpectedly, this attracted the attention of someone at the adjacent table, that is, Hassan, the king of Western Liao Guiyi, who was also drinking in the restaurant at that time. Hassan found out that his identities were unusual, so he came over to get close, and in a few words, he set out the identity of Tan Zhongren. Hassan immediately became extremely respectful, and bowed to Dali in Tanzhong on the spot, as if he was meeting the monarch, which made the guests in the entire restaurant look sideways.
Tanzhong feels very cool. Hassan then suggested that he speak in a different place, so the people of Tanzhong followed Hassan to the mansion of King Guiyi. Hassan led a few people to the back hall, bowed again, and then ordered someone to set up a banquet and entertain a few people in the back hall. At the banquet, Hassan not only showed great respect, but also revealed his admiration for the Great Liao State and his desire to submit to the Liao State from time to time. However, at that time, Tan Zhong's mind was all about winning over Yelu Hongjun, and he was not very interested in this nobleman in Western Liao, so he didn't say much at that time.
Now that Tanzhong listened to Zhang Jinsheng's words, he remembered Hassan, and couldn't help but feel that he could understand Yelu Hongjun's true attitude through this person. Immediately said to Zhang Jinsheng: "Let's go and gradually return to the righteous king!" ”
Taking advantage of his leisure, Yelu Hanyu wrote a letter and put it in an envelope. Yang Qi happened to come in from outside, so he handed the letter to Yang Qi and instructed: "Immediately send the book to Bianliang." ”
Yang Qi took the letter, and when she saw the four big words 'eldest brother personally opened' written on the envelope, she couldn't help but smile and said mischievously: "Sister Mei'er, is this a red leaf biography for eldest brother?" ”
Yelu Hanyu raised his right hand, pretending to want to fight, and said angrily: "Poor mouth! Yang Qi chuckled and ran towards the door. Ran to the door and suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "There was something I almost forgot." Just now, our spies came back and reported that Ali Daiyi, the general of Western Liao, had led his army out of the capital to fight the rebellion! Yelu Hanyu showed a look of thought, and then raised his head and rushed to Yang Qi, who was still waiting at the door, and said, "Don't go and send a letter yet!" Yang Qi let out a silver bell-like laugh and said, "Yes, yes, Sister Mei'er's red leaf biography to the eldest brother is a big deal!" I'll go! With that, he ran out of the door.
Yelu Hanyu smiled, and then his face showed a strong color of longing, lingering resentment, and a heart may have flown back to Bianliang, thousands of miles away.
Yang Peng was sitting by the window of the imperial study, when the moon was in the sky, and the moonlight came in through the window, just on the letter in Yang Peng's hand. Yang Peng looked at the letter, showed a gentle smile on his face, and smelled the wisps of fragrant fragrance emanating from the letterhead, as if Mei'er was in front of him. After a long while, Yang Peng put down the letterhead and let out a long sigh, thinking of his beloved wife who was far away in a foreign land. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, I couldn't help but think: Mei'er must be looking at this bright moon now!
Click-and-click, ......, there was footsteps behind him. Yang Peng retracted his thoughts, turned to look, and saw Yan Ji, dressed in a warrior outfit with a ponytail, coming in with a letter. Yang Peng couldn't help but smile slightly and leaned on the windowsill.
Yan Ji walked straight to Yang Peng, handed over the letter in his hand, and said: The military report sent by Shi Liancheng. ”
Yang Peng took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and read it. stood up, turned to look out the window, and said as if to himself: "Emperor Tianzhu didn't even mobilize troops and horses to support the Western Legion. ”
Yan Ji was taken aback and said puzzledly: "Why didn't Emperor Tianzhu send reinforcements?" This is ridiculous! ”
Yang Peng said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the emperor has always done few things that he understands. After a pause, he frowned and said, "Does this goddamn Emperor Tianzhu want our army to fight the crusaders?" At this point, he immediately returned to the back of the bookcase, quickly wrote a letter, sealed it, and wrote on the envelope four strong but far from beautiful characters: 'Liancheng Qinqi'. He immediately stood up, handed the letter to Yan Ji, and instructed: "Immediately send the book to Liancheng." Yan Ji promised to leave. didn't want to love someone, but grabbed her slender hand and dragged her back.
Before Yan Ji could react, her sexy and charming body fell into her lover's arms, and she exclaimed. Immediately, I only felt my lover's lips cover it, kissed my red lips, and in an instant, my soul flew out of the sky and I didn't know where the world was. After a long while, Yang Peng let go of Yan Ji. Yan Ji came back to her senses from the intoxicating feeling and gave her lover a charming look. Then he pushed his lover's chest and left his lover's embrace, and said angrily: "As His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he actually attacked his concubine!" Yang Peng smiled and said: "I'm going to take a bath later, if you're unwilling, come and attack me!" Yan Ji's beautiful eyes flowed, and she snorted: "Concubines are not rare!" Then he turned around gracefully, hummed softly and left. Yang Peng looked at Yan Ji's graceful back and couldn't help but smile.
Immediately, Yang Peng's thoughts flew to Hu Si's ears. Turning his head to look out the window, the bright moon had fallen asleep with his head resting on the clouds, and the breeze was rippling on the lake, sparkling and sparkling.
As mentioned above, several people in Tanzhong left the Dingbei King's Mansion and went to the Guiyi King's Mansion.
When King Hassan heard that several people from Tanzhong were coming, he immediately went out to greet him in person, and his attitude was very respectful. Tanzhong was very satisfied with Hassan's performance.
Hassan invited a few people from Tanzhong into the mansion, and then arranged a banquet to entertain him, and personally served Tanzhong, looking extremely respectful and humble.
After three rounds of drinking, Tanzhong asked Hassan to sit down. Hassan knew that the other party must be talking about something serious, and after a little humbleness, he sat down opposite Tanzhong.
Tan Zhong asked: "His Majesty the Emperor of Western Liao is now in a dilemma between us and the Ming Dynasty, you must know about this matter, right?" ”
Hassan nodded and said, "Your Majesty didn't say it, but I already guessed it." "The envoy of the Ming Dynasty came to Hu Si with great fanfare, and Yelu Hongjun personally led hundreds of officials out of the city to greet him, so this matter is not a secret. As for the envoy of Liao, Yelu Hongjun did not say anything, and Hassan would definitely not know if it wasn't for a coincidence, so Hassan would say that he had guessed.
Tan Zhong asked, "As far as you judge, what does your Emperor Majesty want?" Is it really to belong to our Da Liao? ”
Hassan didn't know what had been discussed between Tanzhong and the Emperor, so he asked, "Did Your Majesty promise your envoy anything?" ”
Tan Zhong nodded and said, "Your emperor, as well as the king of Dingbei, have made it clear many times, and they have also sworn a curse, saying that they have decided to belong to our Da Liao!" Then he frowned and said: "But he did not arrest or expel the Ming envoy, and his attitude was respectful." said that it was to paralyze the Ming side, but I had some doubts. Looking up at Hassan, he said angrily: "Could your emperor be stepping on two boats?" ”
Hassan frowned and pondered, "Your envoy's worries are not unreasonable. In today's situation, I'm afraid anything can happen. ”
When Tan Zhong heard him say this, he became even more worried, and said, "Your Majesty can't do this!" Since we have promised to return to our country, we should immediately capture and kill the Ming envoy, or at least expel the Ming envoy! "Otherwise, I'm afraid that I will offend both Da Liao and Da Ming, which is very unwise. Hassan echoed in a loud voice, only saying that what Tan Zhong said was very reasonable.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
