female concubine

The black leather boots stepped on the shallow grass that had just grown on the pasture in the back garden, and the green straight and lush grass was immediately pressed out of a shallow dimple, and the red pole shook—clap! ——The ball rolled along the grass and into the hole.

The emperor held the cue stick on the ground, "Has Yelufang returned to Beiliao?"

Han Bang put away the cue in his hand and replied: "I'm back, I was detained in the northern border for a long time, and I let it go back after I found out that there was nothing wrong with it."

"I heard that both Yelufang and Emperor Yelushu of the Northern Liao Dynasty were born to Empress Dowager Xiao. Although they are the same mother and brother, there were disputes and ambiguities when they were young."

"Yes, I have also heard some anecdotes about the Northern Liao Emperor when he was young. When Liao Gaozong was in power, the eldest son had a fight over the same woman, and finally it turned into a battle for the crown prince. The eldest son won and became the crown prince, but Empress Xiao did not. He loved the brave second son, Gaozong passed away and the prince succeeded to the throne, and the second son was imprisoned by the new king. Unfortunately, Yelushu was an incompetent lord. After Wuzong succeeded to the throne, he made great efforts to govern the great cause. During the years, several wars were launched in a row, causing the Northern Liao to retreat steadily. Only then did Yelushu re-appoint his younger brother Yelufang as the Generalissimo of the Northern Liao Army, and appointed the queen's son as the crown prince, and made Yelufang the prince's tutor."

"No wonder his eyes dodged when my sister asked him if he had someone he liked."

The servant picked up the small copper ball in the hole and put it back to the starting point.

Han Si was by the emperor's side, "No matter how strong a person is, there will be a gentle and considerate side."

"So, this Yelvfang is indeed an admirable person, and he is not as sinister, cunning, stupid and incompetent as his brother."

"Yelüshu lost all the land of the Song Dynasty acquired by his ancestors and was forced to move the capital to a cold place. During this period, he was often reviled by his subjects."

"Officials." Qi Liu walked into the grass, "Xue Jin came back from Yongxing Road, and it's at the gate of Houyuan."

"Let him come over."

"Yes."

Xue Jin blew the cold wind for several days and nights before rushing back to the forbidden center. After changing the clothes of the courtiers, he hurried into the back garden, "Official house."

Xue Jin looked at Han Bang still hesitating.

"It's okay, Mr. Han is not an outsider. Before you sent a letter back, what happened to that man?"

"The villain thought he couldn't make it through with his breath left, but he came back to life two days later, and he is still in Yan'an Mansion. Please let the official know how to deal with it."

"It's limited to one month, and there's only half a month left. This really makes me feel a little bit difficult."

"The difficulty for the officials is to choose. The Northern Liao Dynasty wanted to blame the country, but was intercepted by the officials. Yeli Yang Sheng is brave. If he goes to the battlefield, he will definitely be a strong enemy. Kill the general or provoke the two hostile countries. The relationship is now tied to one person, so the officials are thinking about whether to keep it or not." Han Si said again: "Stay, even if Xixia knows that Beiliao did it, it won't matter. If you don't keep it, the Xixia people must think it will be What the court did, I heard that there are generals in their court who will fight against Song."

"No matter what, they won't send troops. The so-called stationing troops is just because they are afraid that I will send troops. Last year, there was a severe drought in Hexi..." The emperor looked to the northwest, "Xixia is about to run out of food."

"Although this Yeli Yang Sheng is powerful, it is the old man who really scares me. It is meaningless to kill him. The three kingdoms are confronting each other. I can't go head-to-head first, and the stalemate of this confrontation will never be completely broken. What I want is a Hitting wins, not a cycle of consuming each other."

"Your Majesty has far-sighted plans."

"But after all, this matter has been involved in the national affairs. The Northern Liao Kingdom has to suffer some hardships to appease my displeasure. The bad things I have done have to be smoothed over by others. How can I not come up with something? After all, dozens of A small country is watching from the sidelines, this Yelushu can't be more shameless than me."

Xue Jin followed all the way, and after understanding, he asked, "But the dead assassin was a Han Chinese hired by them, and we have no proof."

The emperor put down the cue stick and wiped his hands, "You don't need any evidence, you just need to be able to speak, and you can choose a few officials to handle this matter."

"Yes."

"In addition, we need the cooperation of Xixia to send Yeli Yang Sheng back. Since Xixia is short of food, then go and bring a few words to Li Yuanhao." The emperor turned his head suddenly, and said with a smile: "The holy will of the emperor."

Xue Jin was stunned for a while, then bowed with crossed hands, "Yes."

--------------------------------

Half a month later, in late February of the third year of Qianyuan, the imperial court found the injured and missing general of Xixia on Yongxingjun Road and sent him back.

The servant walked into the main hall of the Xixia Palace in his best suit, and bowed to Li Yuanhao only with the court etiquette of the Han people.

Li Yuanhao's entourage reprimanded, "Why didn't the envoy Song kneel when he saw Khan?"

The servant raised his head and said: "Sit in the court and discuss the Tao. The court only needs to kneel and worship the emperor during the big ceremony. I send it to the envoy at the order of the emperor. Is the Khan's status more noble than the emperor?"

"you..."

Li Yuanhao raised his hand to signal his obedience, then stood up from his seat with a smile, "Give me a seat for the Song envoy."

"Your Majesty!"

"No need to say more."

"Khan has a good heart, so there is no need to give him a seat. The emperor wants me to bring something to Khan. Khan is the king of a country, and he should know the truth that generals are hard to find. Now I have used my national power to find wild benefits for Khan. The general sent troops to escort him back to the country." The servant turned his head to look at the general who was brought into the palace behind him, and said to Li Yuanhao with a dark expression, "However, Xixia had a lot of criticisms about Song Ting before, and the emperor was very displeased." A booklet was taken out and he took a step closer.

Li Yuanhao's cronies stepped forward to stop him, "What does Song envoy want to do?"

Li Yuanhao walked down and gently pushed away the cronies standing in front of him, took the brochure from the waiter himself, and said with surprise in his eyes, "Establish a discussion field in Shizhou?"

The servant turned his head back again, and said with a light smile, "What happened to the assassination of your country's envoy? Can't Khan ask General Yeli for a clear understanding?"

Yeli Yang Sheng dragged his slightly improved body and wanted to speak, but Li Yuanhao immediately raised his hand to interrupt, "This king knows who did it, so I won't rely on Dong Chao's head, and I dare not speak to His Majesty the Emperor of Dong Dynasty." disrespectful."

The servant was not surprised by King Xia's sudden change of attitude, but just smiled and said in a low voice: "The emperor knew that there was a severe drought in Xixia last year, and the middle school had only enough grain for half a year, so he agreed to set up another negotiating field in Shizhou and open the grain supply." city."

"Since the first emperor, there have been rules that prohibit us from selling grain to Xixia merchants. The emperor withdrew this order, but he was repeatedly advised by several ministers for several days."

There was a severe drought in Xixia, and Li Yuanhao ordered the opening of warehouses to release grain. So far, there has not been a single drop of rain. Seeing that spring plowing is coming, he is facing a catastrophe. The envoy is assassinated and afraid that Song Ting will take advantage of the chaos to send troops, so he asks Liao for help and stationed troops on the southwest border be on guard.

Li Yuanhao knew that there was something in the servant's words, so he asked, "What instructions does His Majesty the Emperor have?"

----------------------------------

The imperial court dispatched two batches of troops to Xixia and Beiliao.

In March, the second batch of servants arrived at the Beiliao Yazhang. The Emperor of Beiliao ordered several high-ranking officials from the Guard Department to escort them. The Prince of Beiliao wounded the attendants and ran out from his palace tent. He happened to bump into the envoy of Song Ting.

The clothes of the courtiers caught the crown prince's attention, "Are you Song Chen?"

The servant listened to the interpreter's ears moving slightly, then bowed and smiled and said: "Yes," identifying his attire, and respectfully said: "I have seen the Crown Prince of Beiliao."

Prince Liao held his head up very arrogantly, "There were also eunuchs in the former Southern King's Court."

After hearing the disparaging title, the servant frowned displeasedly, "Only the emperor can use eunuchs."

Prince Liao wanted to reprimand, but was stopped by Crown Prince Ti Yin who followed, "Did the prince forget the queen's teaching, and you have to go to see the generalissimo today."

"What? I can't beat anyone, and now I can't even scold him? You have to listen to the marshal in everything, so let the crown prince do it for him."

Afterwards, Yelushu learned of Prince Liao's words and the incident of injuring his attendants, and Yelvshu sent his servants to lock him into the palace tent and restrain him from self-reflection.

He hosted a banquet in the main tent to entertain the envoy of Song Ting, and said with a cup: "The eldest son is not a good man, and I hope Song envoy Haihan."

"From the perspective of a villain, the Crown Prince of the Northern Liao Dynasty should be older than the Son of Heaven, right?"

Yelushu nodded, "He is my eldest son, but he has been spoiled by me on weekdays, and he has bad habits, so he is no match for the emperor."

"The crown prince is brave and mighty, and he will surely be a king who expands the territory in the future."

Yelushu listened to the slightly ironic words, but just smiled and ignored them, "I don't know if the envoys from the Song Dynasty came to our Northern Liao, did they bring the emperor's will?"

"The emperor sent the villain this time to set up a forum." The servant took out something from his sleeve.

The grand master of the bodyguard took the token brought by the servant and passed it to Yelushu, Yelushu exclaimed when he saw it, "This is it?"

"General Yeli Yang Sheng has been found by Da Song and has returned safely."

Yelushu hurriedly dismissed the other ministers in the tent, got up from their seats and walked to the servant, "Present the token of the King of Xixia to my Beiliao, what does the emperor mean?"

"The sky net is well-established, and it is not leaked. Those who do evil will not be able to escape the punishment of the law of the country. It is the custom in the Song Dynasty that every year, both scholars and ordinary people will leave home to visit relatives and friends. Wanderers return to their hometowns, and those who relocate go back to their ancestral lands. It is also very precious to pay respects to each other. Items go out, so bandits and bandits often come and go at this time."

"The emperor thinks that the assassination of Xixia's wild general Yang Sheng was done by me in Beiliao?"

"Isn't it? Your Majesty needs the villain to go up to the emperor to release the people imprisoned in the Song Dynasty dungeon?"

Yelushu didn't know if there were any mistakes or leaks in the cronies who had been eliminated, so he took a few steps back with a guilty conscience, and the servant saw the opportunity and said: "There is Goryeo in the north of Liaodong, and Xixia and Xizhou Uighur in the west. After this matter, we must give the nations an explanation."

"So what does the emperor want to do?"

"There was a famine in Xixia, so the emperor graciously withdrew the ban on the grain market in Hexi. He felt deeply guilty for the vice envoy of Xixia who was killed by thieves. He wanted to send envoys to mourn and give gifts. The envoy team is in Tokyo. When to leave depends on your majesty's will." gone."

Yelushu gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to do anything to the envoy of Song. On the one hand, he was afraid that his ugliness would be exposed. On the other hand, he knew that the Northern Liao Dynasty did not have the strength to defeat Wei Song. Said: "What does the Son of Heaven want?"

"The market can be set up, but the Beiliao caravan needs to pay [-]% of the tax, and..." The servant's eyes suddenly became deep, "Five thousand high-quality war horses."

Yelushu almost fell down in fright at the lion's big opening, "Thirty percent tax?"

"It's spring now, so Beiliao has no shortage of cloth to keep out the cold, but once winter comes, is the tax worth paying compared to human life?"

"Don't talk about the tax on the mutual market, just with these [-] war horses, I, Beiliao, didn't open a horse farm..."

"But everyone in your Northern Liao Dynasty raises horses." The servant interrupted: "My lord's decree, five thousand war horses, not one less!"

"You..." Yelushu widened his eyes in anger, pointed at the servant and took a few steps back.

The author has something to say: The official system of the Liao Kingdom is divided into north and south, the north is the royal family whose official system is the old Khitan system, and the south is the Han land, so it inherited the Tang system and established three provinces and six ministries.

Crown Prince Tiyin: An official of the official system in the north of the Liao Kingdom, in charge of the affairs of the Crown Prince's uterus.

Yelushu's throne is incompetent and stupid because he is the eldest son, but he is not like the official who crawled out of the dead.

Liao was the emperor, and he was divided into many accounts and many khans. (Liao soil is larger than Song soil)
