"Order of the King of Yan. Li Ruolan is canonized as Lady Hanhai, and Li Yuanzhuo is canonized as Marquis Mingsha..." After reading it all the way, except for Li Ruolan who was canonized as Lady Hanhai, and Li Yuanzhuo who was canonized as Marquis Mingsha, all the other members of the royal family were canonized.
He received a lower-level title. Everyone was overjoyed and thanked King Yan for his kindness. Li Ruolan did not need to introduce him. As for Li Yuanzhuo, he was the eldest elder of the Xixia royal family, the same old guy who just flattered Yang Peng.
Li Tongren continued: "The King of Yan has given you a special favor to give each of you a residence in Tianjing New City." Everyone kowtowed to Long En again. Li Tongren said: "Since you have been named the Yanyun nobles, you will join the King of Yan in the future.
Return to Tianjing New City!" Everyone happily agreed. A few people felt that this seemed to be a method of house arrest, but the thought only flashed in their minds and they did not dare to think about it anymore.
Li Tongren bowed to Yang Peng and stepped aside. Yang Peng said loudly: "The business is over, let's have a drink now!" Everyone bowed together and said: "Thank you, King Yan!" and then returned to their seats one after another.
. Li Ruolan picked up the wine glass and toasted to Chen Xiao, her beautiful eyes were flowing, she was charming and charming. A veteran like Yang Peng, seeing her like this, couldn't help but feel a little excited, so she picked up the wine glass and drank first.
In respect. Li Ruolan's beautiful eyes lit up, she raised her head and drank from the glass of wine, and glanced at Yang Peng with burning eyes.
Following Li Yuanzhuo, he stood up to toast, and then one after another, members of the Xixia royal family rushed to toast Yang Peng. All kinds of flattery words came and went, until Yang Peng was praised as being comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors! The atmosphere of the banquet was undoubtedly pleasant, but Li Qingxia
She was always frowning and silent, neither drinking nor eating, nor talking. In this noisy hall, she seemed to be outside...
Unknowingly, when the wine stalls were lit and the lights were on, everyone sent Yang Peng out of the hall. Yang Peng walked towards the palace gate, his face was blown by the night wind, and he immediately sobered up a lot.
Seeing that Yang Peng had gone far away, Li Tongren straightened up, turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone must remember the grace of King Yan, and must not have any thoughts of exceeding it!" Everyone agreed one after another, and Li Yuanzhuo even vowed: "King Yan
We are so kind to you, so naturally we will die in repayment!" Others agreed one after another. Li Tongren smiled and said: "This is a blessing for you all!" At this moment, a cold and sarcastic voice came over:
"A dog is wearing human skin and swaggering through the market!" Everyone changed their expressions and quickly followed the sound, only to see Li Qingxia walking out of the hall with a calm face.
Li Yuanzhuo and others couldn't help being very angry, and said to himself: "You are no longer the emperor, and King Yan has not given you a title, but we are nobles canonized by King Yan. You dare to be rude to us, how disgusting!" At this thought, Li Yuanzhuo
He snorted coldly and shouted: "We are all nobles canonized by King Yan, and Mr. Li is a guard in Xingqing Mansion. Now you are just a white man, how dare you be rude to us!" Many other people also shouted.
Li Qingxia looked at these guys who were not ashamed but proud, and her heart was filled with sadness and anger.
Li Tongren quickly thrust between the two parties, glared at Li Yuanzhuo and others, and said meaningfully: "King Yan did not confer a title on the princess. That is because King Yan has greater grace for the princess. You must not be rude!"
Everyone was stunned and then understood the meaning of his words. They couldn't help but feel frightened and embarrassed. Li Ruolan didn't want to believe it and was filled with jealousy. Li Qingxia glared at Li Tongren with a red face and yelled: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Tongren chuckled, bowed to Li Qingxia and said: "Yes, yes, this official is talking nonsense. Princess, please don't take offense!"
Seeing that if she continued to speak, Li Qingxia would probably paint a darker picture, so she snorted angrily and turned around to go to the harem. Li Tongren quickly bowed and said: "Send me off to the princess!" Li Yuanzhuo, Li Ruolan and others saw that Li Tongren actually treated Li
Qingxia was so respectful that she couldn't help but confirm the guess in her heart. For a moment, all kinds of thoughts lingered in her heart.
After Li Qingxia walked away, Li Yuanzhuo hurriedly asked Li Tongren: "Sir, what do you mean by what you just said? Could it be that King Yan actually intends to canonize her as a princess?"
Li Tongren smiled and said: "I don't know the specifics, but I heard some rumors today." Suddenly he felt that it was not easy to tell others what he said, so he said: "In short, King Yan has a favor for the princess.
Everyone should be aware of it, and you must not neglect the princess, otherwise you will have to walk around without food, but don't blame me for not reminding you!" Everyone quickly agreed, and couldn't help but regret that they had dared to accuse Li Qingxia just now. They were all here.
I had to quickly think of a way to apologize to Li Qingxia, but I also felt that no one else should know about this, otherwise there would be no place for this face.
Li Tongren bowed his hands to everyone and said, "It's getting late. Everyone, please go back and rest early. I'll take my leave." Everyone quickly bowed and said, "Farewell, Your Majesty!" Li Tongren saw that these royal nobles who were previously high and mighty were now
Kneeling in front of him, a sense of satisfaction that he had never experienced before came to his heart. He nodded and turned around.
However, not far away, there were rapid footsteps behind him, and at the same time, a moving female voice shouted: "My lord, please stay!" Li Tongren stopped and turned around, only to see Li Ruolan catching up quickly.
, I couldn't help but feel a little strange. Li Ruolan rushed to Li Tongren and bowed with the etiquette of a Han lady in the Central Plains. Li Tongren was flattered and quickly returned the greeting: "I don't dare to be such a big gift as a lady!" Li Ruolan had just been canonized as Lady Hanhai, so
Li Tongren called her Madam.
Li Ruolan smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome, Your Majesty!" Then he bowed apologetically and said, "I have offended you so much before!" Although Li Ruolan is no longer the Queen Mother, the habits she developed before are temporarily gone.
But he couldn't change it, and he actually called himself me.
Li Tongren knew that what Li Ruolan was talking about was that she had left him to guard Xingqing Mansion before. It could be said that she intended to kill him. The depth of hatred was self-evident. However, things are unpredictable. Not only did he not die, but
As Yan Yun's stay-at-home officer in the Xingqing Mansion, he suddenly became the most noble figure among the party members, while she, Li Ruolan, became a prisoner. Although she was named Mrs. Hanhai, how could that false title be compared with his stay-at-home position in the Xingqing Mansion?
Comparable? Nowadays, the strengths and weaknesses are interchanged. It is really a trick of fate!
Li Tongren felt a little proud, smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Madam, you are serious, what happened in the past has long passed!" He only said that it had passed long ago, but he did not say that he had forgotten it, which shows that he still remembered that thing.
In my heart.
Li Ruolan sighed, "I know that the hatred in your heart will never go away, and I don't dare to beg for your forgiveness! But there are some things that I still want to explain clearly!" She glanced at Li Tongren and said, "I asked Master Li to stay at that time.
, is actually what Ao Daochong meant. Your Excellency may not know something. Before we discussed the matter together, Ao Daochong came to me alone and told me about this matter. He proposed to leave your Excellency to guard Xingqing Mansion, which I originally disagreed with.
, because your lord is a minister of humerus to me, and you should stay by your side to ask for advice from time to time, but O Daochong persisted, and I could not resist his persuasion and agreed, so what happened next. Alas, now
Come to think of it, I really feel sorry for you, sir!"
Li Tongren thought to himself: "I'm afraid this woman is shirking responsibility, but what she said may be true. After the new emperor was established, Ao Daochong and I were both heroes in supporting the new emperor. We have equal credit and equal power. For him
For me, I am a constraint on him, preventing him from doing many things as he pleases. This must be like a stick in his throat and he wants to get rid of it quickly. Therefore, he went forward to make slanderous remarks to the Empress Dowager in order to get rid of me, the thorn in his side, and it was a smooth process.
.' As soon as I thought about this, my hatred for Li Ruolan couldn't help but fade a lot.
Seeing the change in the expression on Li Tongren's face, Li Ruolan couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Sir, we are all of the Dangxiang lineage. Now that we have submitted to King Yan, we should naturally be loyal and loyal without any dissent!"
Li Tongren raised his eyebrows and said, "This is natural!"
Li Ruolan frowned and said: "But have you ever thought about how we can gain a foothold under King Yan? Under King Yan, there is a group of old brothers who were the first to follow him, including the Khitan system, the Song system, and the Jurchen system.
Each of these forces is very powerful. Not only are there people in the military and government, but most importantly, there is also a woman, Princess Yan. We party members are an emerging force, and I am afraid that we will inevitably be suppressed by them!"
Li Tongren couldn't help but frowned and nodded. Li Ruolan said: "If we want to truly gain a foothold under King Yan, we must be like those forces, not only making achievements in military and political affairs, but more importantly, we must be under King Yan's command."
There is someone in the harem."
Li Tongren understood what Li Ruolan meant, glanced at her, and said: "What Madam said is very good. Naturally, we party ministers must do our best to serve King Yan. As for the harem, I think Princess Qingxia is the best choice.
King Yan himself also has that intention!"
Li Ruolan didn't mean this. After hearing this, she was startled and said anxiously: "Princess Qingxia claims to be noble, but I'm afraid she is not a suitable candidate. I see that she will not enter the Queen Yan's harem!"
Li Tongren felt that what Li Ruolan said was reasonable and couldn't help but frowned. Then his heart moved, he glanced at Li Ruolan and couldn't help but said: "Could it be that Madam has this intention?"
Li Ruolan's pretty face blushed slightly. Under the reflection of the moonlight, she was really beautiful. Li Tongren had already reached the age where he was not disturbed by external objects, but he couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart. He couldn't help but secretly thought: This woman
She is naturally charming, and seems to be more popular with men than Li Qingxia.
After coming back to his senses, he said with some embarrassment: "It's a pity that King Yan didn't show a different attitude towards his wife!" Li Ruolan felt annoyed and said quickly: "Sometimes we can let nature take its course, but sometimes we need to do it ourselves.
Create opportunities. If you can help me realize this dream, I will never forget your kindness!"
Li Tongren couldn't help but feel that although Li Qingxia was more favored by King Yan, she would definitely not want to enter the harem of King Yan, but this Li Ruolan was different. In addition, even if Li Qingxia entered the harem, she would not be able to enter the harem.
I'm afraid that her behavior will not play the role that she hopes, at least she will never help her to say good things in front of King Yan; and if Li Ruolan enters the harem, he must have done something else and helped her.
, she will definitely spare no effort to speak kindly to King Yan. Having such an ally beside King Yan will be an unimaginable help to her future career development. After all, from ancient times to the present, no matter how hard it is,
Even the wise king cannot resist the gentle breeze of the beauty beside his pillow.
As soon as he thought about this, Li Tongren made a decision in his heart. He glanced at Li Ruolan, bowed and said in salute, "Madam's words made me suddenly enlightened!" When Li Ruolan saw Li Tongren, his attitude suddenly became extremely respectful, and his title also changed.
, immediately understood what he meant, couldn't help but feel very happy, and said excitedly: "As long as we help each other, we will definitely occupy a place in Prince Yan's palace!" Li Tongren nodded.
Li Ruolan took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Li Tongren, saying with a slightly red cheek: "Sir, please give this to King Yan on your behalf."
Li Tongren took the brocade handkerchief and smelled a faint fragrance, which made his heart skip a beat. Looking at the brocade handkerchief in his hand, he saw a pair of peonies embroidered on the moon-white brocade handkerchief.
Peony flowers, branches, leaves and petals are tightly intertwined, just like the entangled limbs of a man and a woman, and the petals relying on each other are like a man and a woman kissing. Li Tongren couldn't help but swallowed, his mind was a little dazed, and he replied
After coming to his senses, he quickly put the brocade handkerchief into his sleeve. He bowed to Li Ruolan and left in a hurry.
Li Ruolan looked at Li Tongren's back, smiled slightly, and murmured: "Men like charming women, not prude women like you!" Then she turned around and headed towards the harem, standing in the distance waiting for her two men.
A maid came quickly to greet him.
Li Tongren rushed to the temporary camp of King Yan and asked the guard: "Where is King Yan?" The guard said: "King Yan has gone to the study!" Li Tongren thanked him and ran towards the study at the back. Yang Peng's
This temporary camp is not the Xingqing government office, but the former residence of Ao Daochong. It is grand in scale. It is a landscape garden built by Ao Daochong, who spent a lot of effort and asked Jiangnan craftsmen to supervise the construction. It takes three steps to see a scene, and every five steps to see a view.
Bridges and flowing water, bamboo seas and waves, every place has a different scenery, and every courtyard has its charm. When you are in this landscape garden, you will be surprised every moment.
Li Tongren was very familiar with the path here and did not need anyone's guidance. He quickly arrived outside the study. Seeing Yang Peng sitting behind the desk and reading official documents, he did not dare to go in rashly. He clasped his fists at Wang Kai who was standing outside the study and said: "General
, please inform me that I have something to ask for!" Wang Kai turned around and went in, walked to Yang Peng, clasped his fists and said a few words, then Li Tongren saw Yang Peng raising his head and looking this way from a distance, and was shocked.
He quickly stood up solemnly and respectfully. Then he saw Yang Peng saying a few words to Wang Kai. Wang Kai clasped his fists in agreement and ran out, saying: "The King of Yan lets you in."
Li Tongren quickly thanked him and quickly walked into the study. When he came to the middle of the study, he paid homage and said, "I pay my respects to King Yan!" Yang Peng put down the official document, glanced at the respectful Li Tongren, and said with a smile: "Get up and talk.
." Li Tongren bowed and said, "Thank you, King Yan!" Then he stood up, took out the brocade handkerchief Li Ruolan gave him from his sleeve, took two steps forward, and presented it to Yang Peng with both hands.
Yang Peng took the brocade handkerchief and felt a fragrant fragrance unique to women. Seeing that the brocade handkerchief clearly belonged to a woman, he couldn't help but feel surprised. He looked at Li Tongren and asked with a half-smile: "This
What means?"
Li Tongren said quickly: "Mrs. Hanhai asked me to pass this to King Yan!" Yang Peng was stunned, "Mrs. Hanhai?" "Exactly!"
Yang Peng lowered his head and looked at the brocade handkerchief in his hand. He saw two peony branches and leaves intertwined with each other, with an ambiguous temperament, as if a man and a woman were fighting each other to death. He thought that this brocade handkerchief belonged to Li Ruolan, and his heart skipped a beat.
Then I saw a famous poem by Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty written in the blank space next to the two peonies: Red beans are born in the southern country. When spring comes, there will be a few branches. I hope you will pick more. This thing is the most loved.
Yang Peng's heart moved, he put down the brocade handkerchief and asked Li Tongren: "Is there anything else?" Seeing that Yang Peng didn't express anything, Li Tongren felt a little strange in his heart and did not dare to ask, so he hurriedly said: "Wei Chen wants to ask the King of Yan for instructions."
, those local people who came back, will their property be returned to them?" Li Tongren talked about another thing, lest King Yan think that he came to see him specifically to deliver the brocade handkerchief.
Yang Peng said: "That's natural. But they must be able to provide proof. It is best to have a house deed. If there is no house deed, it is okay if there is a witness that can prove it." Li Tongren bowed and said: "Yes, Wei Chen understands." Chen
Xiao Xiao glanced at Li Tongren and reminded: "We in Yanyun are different from any other country. We have no room for bargaining on the issue of corruption and perversion of the law. Soon, people from the Supervisory Yuan will be stationed in various places in Ningxia. If they investigate
If something goes wrong, even I can't protect you!" Li Tongren was frightened, and he quickly bowed and said: "We ministers must remember the teachings of King Yan. We ministers will never dare to take bribes and bend the law. We ministers will also take the initiative to supervise the behavior of their subordinates.
If there is any problem with integrity, we will never tolerate it!"
Yang Peng nodded and said: "What's the point of being corrupt and perverting the law? A person can only eat so much in a day and sleep three feet away. Too much money will not be taken with him in life or death, so why bother?"
So greedy? Moreover, those families who are corrupt and bend the law have very few decent descendants. This is called a crooked upper beam and a crooked lower beam. The father is greedy and the son is squandering. In the end, they still have nothing. They are not as good as those who are honest, diligent and thrifty.
May you be blessed later!"
Li Tongren felt cold sweat dripping down his back and bowed: "King Yan, what King Yan said is timely!"
Yang Peng glanced at Li Tongren and said, "I know you have accepted some bribes in the past." Li Tongren felt his legs go weak, and he knelt down with a plop. He kowtowed in fear and said, "Wei Chen is guilty, Wei Chen."
Convicted!!"
Yang Peng said: "That was when you were still the Prime Minister of Xixia, not under my rule, Yan Yun. I can forget about it. But from now on, I don't want to hear any bad news about you!"
Li Tongren said with great gratitude: "Thank you so much, King Yan, for your kindness! Thank you so much, King Yan for your kindness!"
Yang Peng stood up and walked to Li Tongren, stretched out his hand to help him up, patted his shoulder, and encouraged him: "I have great expectations for you, please don't disappoint me!" Li Tongren only felt that King Yan was so generous.
He said excitedly: "Weichen, I will never let down King Yan!" Yang Peng nodded with a smile, patted his shoulder, "I believe you!" Four simple words
This word actually caused Li Tongren to have the impulse that "a scholar who is a confidant will die".
Yang Peng said: "It's getting late, you should go down and rest!"
Li Tongren responded quickly, bowed to Yang Peng, and bowed out of the study. Yang Peng looked outside the study with a thoughtful look on his face. He returned to sit behind the desk and saw the brocade handkerchief again, and his heart couldn't help but rise.
The feeling of impulse came. Yang Peng picked up the brocade handkerchief, put it on the end of his nose, and took a deep breath. The touching fragrance penetrated into the nose and spread to all limbs. He couldn't help but feel even more impulsive. Yang Peng laughed to himself.
He smiled and murmured: "No wonder people often say, 'A wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a steal.' This 'stealing' is really exciting!"
Yang Peng thought for a while, put the brocade handkerchief into his arms, left the study and went to the back yard, and walked straight towards Yang Erya's yard. Yang Peng's burning passion was aroused by the brocade handkerchief, and he was in urgent need now.
Put out the fire. He quickly came to Yang Erya's yard and saw that there was no light in the wooden building and it was dark. He couldn't help but feel surprised. He quickly asked a Feifeng female guard at the door of the courtyard: "Where is Madam?" The female guard quickly said: "
Madam went to the kitchen and said she wanted to make a pot of chicken soup for King Yan!"
Yang Peng felt warm in his heart and walked towards the kitchen. Before he reached the cupboard, he saw a light on in the cupboard from a distance. The light illuminated a graceful figure. Sure enough, it was Yang Peng.
Erya is busy on the stove. Among the three women currently beside Yang Peng, Yelu Hanyu is of noble birth. She has always been cared for by others, but not by her. Therefore, she has no need to take care of others as a wife.
Her husband's consciousness, and Yang Jiumei, who was born as a general, has a carefree personality, and can't think of going in that direction. Only Yang Erya, who is Lan Xin, wise and thoughtful, thinks that her eldest brother must be very tired when he is dealing with official duties so late at night, so he should make him a pot of chicken soup.
After replenishing his body, he led a few female guards to the cupboard and got busy.
Yang Peng couldn't help but smile on his face, and walked over there. When he came to the door, the female guard guarding the door lit up when she saw Yang Peng, and she was about to salute. Yang Peng quickly put his middle finger on
He signaled her to be silent with her lips. The female guard swallowed back the words that came to her lips. She only cupped her fists and saluted, then pursed her lips and smiled.
Yang Peng walked into the cupboard and saw a pot of chicken soup simmering on a stove. It made a gurgling sound and the aroma in the air made people want to eat. Yang Peng sat in front of the stove and watched the stew attentively.
The pot of chicken soup was being cooked as if something might go wrong; the two female guards who were in charge saw Yang Peng and were about to salute, but were stopped by Yang Peng with gestures.
Yang Peng pointed outside, and the two female guards understood, smiled, glanced at Qiong Ying, who was focused on nothing, and left quietly.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
