Chivalrous Song Dynasty

Page 705

Under the eyes of everyone, Da Libo did not dare to be arrogant and paid homage to the emperor according to the etiquette. Only Xiao Long was unable to pay respects because he was carrying Wanyan Zongxian in his hand, but he also showed the reason: "It is inconvenient for the thieves to be escorted by the humble officials." Great gift, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianzuo put away his smile, glanced at Wanyan Zongxian in Xiao Long's hand with disgust, and asked, "You are Wanyan Zongxian? It's really hard for you to do such a thing that both people and gods are angry with!"

Wanyan Zongxian had fallen into a semi-comatose state at this time, rolled his eyes at Emperor Tianzuo, and said nothing.If Bai Sheng hadn't used the heat of Chiyanquan to glue his blood vessels together while cutting off his limbs, he would have lost too much blood and died by this time.

Without his hands and feet, he couldn't do it even if he wanted to acupoint himself to stop the bleeding.

"Hmph!" Emperor Tianzuo snorted angrily, and said, "Put it down!"

How to deal with Yan Zongxian, "Xiao Long" had already said before the battle between the two armies. Emperor Tianzuo thought this method was very good, and naturally he would not change "Xiao Long"'s decision on how to deal with Wanyan Zongxian in public.

Behind him, a big inner guard took Yan Zongxian's torso from Xiao Long's hand and carried it away. Emperor Tianzuo regained his joyful expression, looked at Xiao Long and said, "Since A Gu rebelled, I, the Khitan people, have been fighting every day. But only today was the victory, today's battle, you Xiao Long and his wife contributed the most! Xiao Long listened!"

During the great victory, Emperor Tianzuo even forgot about the fact that there was an allied army in the south under his joy, and first rewarded the courtiers for their hard work.

Xiao Long lost Wanyan Zongxian, and when he heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, no!"

"Huh?" Yelu Yanxi was taken aback for a moment, how come there are people who don't want to be rewarded for their work?

But I heard Xiao Long say: "I dare not lie to my majesty, the one who captured Wanyan Zongxian was not my minister, but someone else."

In this matter, even though Bai Sheng thought of his wife and let him claim the credit, how dare Xiao Long not tell the truth to Emperor Tianzuo?That is the great crime of bullying the king.

Emperor Tianzuo was shocked when he heard the words, who else? "It's not you, who is it? Xiao Qing's family hastened to come."

Xiao Long kowtowed and said: "Don't dare to lie to the Holy Majesty, the one who killed the [-] cavalrymen of the Jin Kingdom tonight and castrated the stumped Yan Zongxian is His Majesty's son-in-law."

He told the truth word by word, but Emperor Tianzuo was very anxious, so why don't you just say who it is?What's the point of laying out his achievements first?Since you can reach the south gate of Yanjing, it is obvious that you have cleaned up the Jin army in the south of the city.

And when Xiao Long said that the person who made such a great contribution was actually his son-in-law Yelu Yanxi, Emperor Tianzuo was immediately confused, who is it?What are you kidding?How can I have such a powerful son-in-law?If there is such a son-in-law, how can the people of the Kingdom of Jin be pushed to the point where they are fighting with their backs?

So he lowered his face and said, "Could it be that you are talking about the general of Song?" what?How did he become my son-in-law?You, Xiao Long, are making a big joke.

Xiao Long said: "Your Majesty is wise! The person I mentioned is the commander of the Song Army."

Emperor Tianzuo was a little annoyed at first, but on the one hand, he won a big victory, and it was inconvenient to explode in public; on the other hand, he felt that Xiao Long would not dare to make such a joke. Maybe there was a reason for it, maybe the Song State coach liked Daliao, so he thought Maybe marry a Liao princess.

The kings and queens of the Liao Kingdom have always loved talents. When Yang Silang was living in the Liao Kingdom, the Empress Dowager Xiao married a daughter to him. With a daughter, she can exchange for a talent from Wenke Anbang or Wu Neng Dingguo. This is a deal It's worth it, it's worth it!

What's more, this person has already made such contributions to the Liao Kingdom before he arrived in Yanjing City. It would be too unwise for him to be stingy with a daughter.He just felt that the other party brought up this matter first, which seemed a little arrogant. If he said it in a bad way, it would be a rare commodity. You are forcing me to marry my daughter to you.

This is very different from the meaning of picking a daughter out to marry him.This is where Emperor Tianzuo's displeasure lies.

But at the moment when the monarch and ministers are all present, it is inconvenient to express such dissatisfaction, so he slightly frowned and asked: "What is this person's name? I really want to see him."

When he said this, he had already made up his mind - to meet first, as for whether to marry the princess to you, we will discuss this matter in private later, and don't make it difficult for anyone to step down under the watchful eyes of the public.As the king of a country, I don't want you to be unable to step down, and you don't want me to lose face.

How did Xiao Long know the little Jiujiu in Emperor Tianzuo's heart?Immediately reported truthfully: "This man's surname is Bai Mingsheng. He was originally a pioneer officer in the Song Dynasty's Western Expedition. He said that he married your second daughter, Princess Guyu."

"Ah?" Emperor Tianzuo only felt a surge of hot blood rising to his head, so that his eyes turned black, his head became dizzy, and his body became precarious.

The ministers around were shocked when they saw this, and rushed up one after another. They hurriedly supported Emperor Tianzuo, and asked in a hurry: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

But seeing two lines of turbid tears flowing from Emperor Tianzuo's eyes, he said in a trembling voice: "Bone desire, you are really my good daughter!"

Seeing this, the ministers couldn't help looking at each other, thinking: It is said that after Yelu Guyu went to Xixia, he stayed with Yelu Nanxian to accompany his cousin, why did he marry quietly?And married a Song countryman?Seeing the emperor like this, Yelu was so angry that tears flowed out.The words "good daughter" are absolutely ironic.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Tianzuo's next words were: "You are married to a husband who is so indomitable and mighty, you and your wife are the blessings of my Daliao!"

Regarding the matter of Yelu Guyu marrying Bai Sheng, Yelu Guyu ordered someone to send a letter to Emperor Tianzuo, but Emperor Tianzuo was on the way to escape at that time, how could he have the time to care about his daughter? ?Just thinking that since the son-in-law is a general of the Song army, he wrote a letter to Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, asking Zhao Ji to treat his daughter and son-in-law kindly. Spread the word.

It is a very shameful thing for the daughters of common people to get married, but how can he publicize it?Therefore, only Emperor Tianzuo and Yelu Guyu's mother Yuanfei Xiao Guige knew about Yelu Guyu's marriage, and the others were basically kept in the dark.

Emperor Tianzuo's grand praise surprised all the ministers, and Yelu Dashi, who was always standing aside, lowered his head silently.He Bai Sheng not only married Yelu Guyu, but also robbed my fiancée Xiao Feng. Now you Emperor Tianzuo is relieved, but how should I swallow this breath?

Chapter 973

Emperor Tian Zuo not only wept with joy, but also almost had a cerebral hemorrhage. He had no choice but to be so excited by the news that Xiao Long brought him.

As he said before, since Aguda started his army, the Jin people have been invincible all the way, and the Liao army has no power to fight back.

He, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, was almost suffocated to death.Even if Yelu Dashi summed up the root cause of the decline of the Liao army, even if Wu Yanguang told him that the defeats all the time were feigned defeats, all illusions made for the purpose of practicing the Taiyi Huntian Xiangzheng, he still couldn't let go.

Even if what you Yelu Dashi and Wu Yanguang said is true, so what?Even if I, Yelu Yanxi, understand you, but the entire Khitan people don't!As an emperor, can I go to the streets and alleys and tell the Khitan people that all this is our tactic?

Especially during the retreat, the nobles of Khitan suffered huge losses. Those victims whose property was plundered by the Jurchens and whose women were abused by Wanyan Zongxian, do they really only hate Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Zongxian?of course not!In addition to hating the enemy, they feel that their emperor is incompetent!

Yes, when a country is at the critical point of life and death, people will not blame their soldiers for what they are like, nor will they check whether the Liao army has horses, nor will they even put the blame on Yelu Dashi and Wu Yanguang , They originally only believed that the emperor would take care of all this, and they could only expect their emperor to lead them to victory and peace.

Especially in the past year or so, does anyone know how much pressure Yelu Yanxi has been under?He is not only for his country and his people, but also for himself.Because whether or not Jin Guo can be defeated in the end is dispensable to others, but it is a must for him, Yelu Yanxi.

Everyone understands that once Yanjing City is broken, the literati and military generals gathered in Yanjing City can switch to the banner of the Jurchens and become officials of the Kingdom of Jin as long as they are a little talented.Those who hold wealth in their hands can also use it to buy a safe and even a bright future.

But only he, Yelu Yanxi, can't do it, even if he surrenders Yelu Yanxi!The Jin people will definitely kill him, just killing him is not enough, they will also kill all his sons and grandsons, and his wife and daughter will be sent to the Huanyiyuan by the Jin people!

Some people may think that Yelu Yanxi's idea is a bit too serious. In another time and space, the Jin people occupied and ravaged the women of the two courts of the Liao Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty. Didn't they not kill Zhao Ji and his son in the end?

In fact, this is not the case.Because Yelu Yanxi is different from Zhao Ji, the difference is that Wanyan Aguda made an oath at the beginning of his army to kill Yelu Yanxi!The war between the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Song was entirely due to the fact that the Kingdom of Song was too weak, yet held great rivers and mountains and abundant resources in its hands. The people of the Kingdom of Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty because of their greed, so there was no need to kill Zhao Ji.

Taking the current situation as an example, there is no hatred between Wanyan Aguda and Zhao Ji.

It is actually very difficult to be an emperor, especially an emperor whose country is in turmoil.

Yelu Yanxi, who had been suppressed for a long time, heard that his son-in-law came to help him, and fought such a beautiful battle as soon as he arrived, what a huge surprise this was?

"Quick! Xiao Long, Da Libo, you go and invite the white son-in-law over here, I want to serve him wine!"

After saying this, all the officials except Xiao Long and his wife felt a little uncomfortable, isn't it just a son-in-law?How can you be so humble and humble as an emperor?And he is a Song countryman!

For a long time, the vast majority of Liao people have always been contemptuous of the people of the Song Dynasty. They gave the people of the Song Dynasty a collective name, called "Song Pig". Why do they call it so?Because they think that the Song people are all soft-boned, and they only know how to spend money when they have nothing to do. Especially when they go to the battlefield, not only can they not beat Liao, but they can't beat anyone. What kind of people are they not Song pigs? ?

Of course, when talking about this incident, it is inevitable to mention that the people of the Song Dynasty did not fail to retaliate, calling the Khitan people "Liao dogs".

Therefore, the people of the Liao Kingdom looked down on the people of the Song Dynasty, but after the rise of the Jin Kingdom in recent years, the original self-confidence of the Liao people has suffered an unprecedented blow, and the slaughter of the Liao people by the people of the Jin Kingdom has become more and more serious. , the Liao people transferred their hatred to the Jurchens, so their contempt and hostility towards the Song people faded a lot.

But no matter how much it is diluted, it will not be diluted to the point of complete reversal, from the previous contempt and contempt to admiration and worship?That is impossible.

At this time, the emperor treated a son-in-law of the Song Dynasty as a treasure, and the officials naturally disagreed.

Although Bai Sheng avenged some of them in public, eunuched and mutilated Wanyan Zongxian, and vowed to take revenge on Wanyan Zongxian's original wife, which was a great favor to the Khitan clan. These people in the court will not repay their kindness blindly. You are a benefactor, but if you threaten my power and interests, neither will you be a benefactor!

Especially Wu Yanguang and the generals under Wu Yanguang are even more dissatisfied with the emperor's bias. Did your son-in-law win today's victory alone?

Not to mention the [-] Qingqi killed by the Taiyi Huntian Xiangzhen between morning and noon, but only to say that the battle fought by the Song army at night, if Yelv Dalibo hadn't led the Shennu camp to support him, if it hadn't been for thousands of The enemy has introduced the chaotic formation, how can Bai Sheng win so easily?Do not believe!

Because no one saw how Bai Sheng killed Jin Guo Tiefu Tu, so, how can they be in awe?I always think that Bai Sheng is just a blind cat who met a dead mouse, and won a victory with the help of the Liao Kingdom's Divine Crossbow Camp.

It's just that since Yelv Dalibo and Xiao Long don't compete with Bai Sheng for credit, others are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks, so they have the right to keep this dissatisfaction in their hearts, and wait for Bai Sheng to come. Let's see what he has before making a fuss.
