The maid hurriedly said: "My master has prepared a banquet and wants to drink with King Yan." Yang Peng asked; "Who is your master?" The maid said: "My master is Mrs. Hanhai." Yang Peng's mind
A charming and enchanting face immediately appeared in his mind. Thinking of the spring breeze that night, he could not help but twitch his index finger. He looked at the maid and said, "Lead the way!" The maid responded and quickly turned around to lead the way. Yang Peng said to Wang.
"Send someone home to inform the ladies that I won't be back tonight." Wang Kai promised and immediately ordered a secret guard to do so. The secret guard galloped away towards Prince Yan's Mansion. Yang Peng was waiting for the king.
Surrounded by more than a hundred secret guards, Kai waited and followed the maid...
Yang Peng opened his eyes and found that it was already dawn. The faint sunlight was shining through the dense branches and leaves, and the birds were chirping happily.
Yang Peng glanced down and saw Li Ruolan sleeping soundly on his chest. Her black hair was piled on her chest like a dark cloud. There were still two blushes on her cheeks, making her look even more charming. Thinking back to last night
Yang Peng couldn't help but feel the madness in his heart. The feeling was very charming. It was completely different from the feeling of being with his wives and concubines. At that time, every cell in the body seemed to be jumping for joy because of desire. It was a pure feeling.
The ultimate feeling, which is never experienced between men and women who have feelings. It is a crazy and decadent feeling.
Suddenly there were footsteps on the stairs, very soft and fast, it should be Li Ruolan's personal maid. Yang Peng turned his head and looked outside the tent, and faintly saw a graceful figure coming to the bedside, and said softly and nervously: "Qi Qi
Report to King Yan, someone from the palace has come and said he has an important military report."
Yang Peng sat up immediately, and with this movement, Li Ruolan also woke up. Seeing Yang Peng seeming to leave with sleepy eyes, he subconsciously wrapped himself around him like a beautiful snake, and said in a cooing voice: "Stay with me some more.
Come on!" Yang Peng turned his head and kissed her red lips, and said softly: "I have business to do, so you can sleep a little longer!" Li Ruolan just kept pestering Yang Peng. Yang Peng couldn't help but feel a little confused when he saw her being so messy.
She became annoyed and said in a displeased tone: "I'm going to take care of business, don't mess around!" Seeing the sudden change in Yang Peng's tone and demeanor, Li Ruolan couldn't help but feel startled and frightened.
Seeing her like this, Yang Peng couldn't help but soften his heart. He softened his tone and said softly: "We have a long way to go. I have to deal with business now. You can have a good rest." After saying that, he opened the curtain and walked down from the bed. Gong
The maid standing outside quickly came forward to help Yang Peng get dressed.
Yang Peng went down the stairs and walked out of the embroidery building. He saw Jiang Li in military uniform waiting not far away. He couldn't help but smile and walked forward. Jiang Li also saw Yang Peng, with joy in her eyes, and hurried
He came forward and worshiped: "I have met the master!" Yang Peng helped her up and said softly: "You are still so polite to me!" Jiang Li glanced at Yang Peng lovingly and said: "This is not home.
, it’s better to be more careful.”
Yang Peng smiled, took Jiang Li's delicate hand and walked outside. The secret guards scattered around who were responsible for protecting Yang Peng saw Yang Peng walking outside, so they came out of their hiding places and gathered together.
Yang Peng asked Jiang Li as he walked: "You came here so early in the morning, there must be some urgent military situation, right?" Jiang Li shook her head and smiled: "Actually, it's not an urgent military situation, it's just the arrival of Tubo and imperial envoys.
Madams, madams, I feel that I should let the master know immediately, so I sent my subordinates here." After hearing this, Yang Peng understood what she meant. It must be that the wives and concubines are jealous of Li Ruolan, so
He found this reason to ask her to call him back. He smiled and asked, "When did the two envoys arrive?"
"Early this morning, the two missions were both large in size. Hundreds of people came, and both brought generous gifts!" He glanced at Yang Peng, clasped his fists and said, "Because it's still early and it's inconvenient to disturb the master, so Han Bing
Madam arranged the two missions in the other two guest houses on behalf of the master." Yanyun's guest house is a place used to receive envoys from various countries. It was originally a large mansion that was renovated. Envoys from all over the world came here.
It was arranged there, but later Yanyun found that if envoys from various countries lived together, it would be easy for them to communicate with each other, which was not a good thing. So they renovated the guest house not long ago, canceling the original large guest house and changing it to a dozen guest houses.
These are relatively independent small guesthouses that are far apart. Missions from various countries are arranged in these small guesthouses.
Yang Peng looked thoughtful. After a while, a large group of people left Li Ruolan's mansion, mounted their horses, and returned to Prince Yan's Mansion. Li Ruolan felt uneasy, and after Yang Peng left, he quickly got up and ordered his father to be called.
What happened just now was explained in detail. Judging from her tone and demeanor, it was obvious that she was worried about gains and losses.
Li Shicheng frowned and said, "My daughter made a mistake! This King of Yan is a powerful hero in the world, not an ignorant and incompetent monarch. Although he likes women, he will never be fascinated by women, let alone any.
He delayed business because of a woman!" Li Shicheng's judgment about Yang Peng was actually not completely correct. The first half of the sentence was correct, but the second half was incorrect! Yang Peng would not delay business for Li Ruolan, because in his heart
, Li Ruolan is just a tool to vent, with no emotions at all, but for Yang Tong and others, this is not the case. For them, Yang Peng can delay serious things, and it is not necessarily true that he loves the country more than the beauty.
Li Ruolan felt that what his father said was reasonable and couldn't help but nodded. Li Shicheng glanced at Li Ruolan and sighed, "Daughter, you can't deal with a great hero like King Yan like you did with the late Emperor of Xixia! This will only be counterproductive, and he
He will think that you are ignorant and hinder him from handling business, and then he will feel disgusted with you!"
Li Ruolan turned pale and asked at a loss: "Father, what should I do now?"
Li Shicheng thought: "It's just this once, it shouldn't be a big problem." He glanced at Li Ruolan and smiled: "When King Yan calms down and thinks about the benefits of his daughter, he will naturally come to you again!" Li Ruolan's charming face
She turned red and looked charming. Li Shicheng warned: "Next time you see King Yan, you must not be like this! My daughter, you just need to use your gentleness as a woman to serve King Yan wholeheartedly. Don't rely on it.
Being pampered is a big taboo in front of a great hero like King Yan!" Li Ruolan nodded and said, "Never!"
Li Shicheng said with longing: "If you, my daughter, can become the Princess of Yan, that would be great!" Then he sighed, "But this kind of thing cannot be rushed!" Li Ruolan couldn't help but sigh.
. Suddenly remembered something and asked: "Father, have you done what I asked you to do?"
Li Shicheng nodded, "This is a big deal, and as a father, I will not neglect it. By this time, every princess should have received our gifts!" Li Ruolan nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Yang Peng returned to Prince Yan's Mansion and saw many gifts piled up in piles in the hall. He couldn't help but be very surprised and asked Jiang Li next to him: "What are these gifts?"
Jiang Li took a look at the gifts and said with a smile: "These are all sent by Li Ruolan and his daughter." Yang Peng smiled, "I don't need gifts. You can take people to send these gifts back." Jiang Li said with a smile:
"Master is wrong. These gifts are not for the master, but for the princesses." Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the intention of Li Ruolan and his daughter. They wanted to please the princesses so that they could
To be around you and speak kindly to them.
Jiang Li continued: "None of the princesses wanted to accept their gifts, so I temporarily piled these gifts in the living room and prepared to send someone to send them back." Yang Peng nodded and smiled at them.
Jiang Li said: "Just handle it!" Jiang Li was really happy to see her master trusting her so much.
Turning to where the Xixia envoy was stationed, one of Li Tianhao's close followers rushed in from the outside and said anxiously: "Sorry, sir, the Tubo envoy is here too." Li Tianhao was startled, but then he felt that this was natural.
After all, Yanyun is now at its peak, and its military strength is arrogant in the world. Tubo and Song were worried that Yanyun's military might befall them, so they sent envoys to flatter them.
Li Tianhao walked to a small table and sat down. He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. He put down the tea bowl and said calmly: "If others want to please Yan Yun, it's none of our business!"
The confidant said anxiously: "Sir, it's fine if you just want to please. Especially Tubo, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as trying to please Yan Yun!" Li Tianhao heard something in his words, glanced at him, frowned and said: "You
Just say what you want to say, don’t beat around the bush!”
The confidant said: "Sir, does Tubo want to form an alliance with Yanyun and plot evil against our Daxia?"
Li Tianhao was startled, and then frowned and thought about it. He only felt that this possibility was very possible. Although Tubo had signed an alliance with itself, the strength and weakness were now very obvious. How could Tubo dare to conflict with Yan Yun head-on?
Yanyun's alliance to destroy Daxia is more attractive to the Tubo people. Now that Yanyun is short of food and grass, it is the time for Tubo to take action. If this is the case, the purpose of Tubo's trip should be to test Yanyun's reaction. If
If Yanyun doesn't object much, they will definitely use troops against Daxia in the near future! Although Li Tianhao's speculation is somewhat inconsistent with the facts, it is basically correct. Tubo and Yanyun have actually reached an agreement, and the Tubo envoy
The purpose of the delegation's trip is not actually to negotiate, but to confirm the agreement.
Li Tianhao couldn't help but break out in cold sweat as he thought about what happened next. He frowned and murmured: "We can't let things develop like this, we must not let things develop like this!" The confidant said: "Sir, I have an idea." Li Tianhao
He looked at him and asked: "What do you think?" The confidant whispered: "I wonder if you still remember the story of Ban Chao's mission to the Western Regions?" Li Tianhao was stunned for a moment, then his heart moved, he looked at the confidant, frowned and said: "You
Do you want me to follow Ban Chao's lead in raiding the Xiongnu mission?" The confidant nodded, "Sir, you are wise! As long as we massacre the Tubo mission, the Tubo people will definitely be suspicious of Yan Yun, thinking that Yan Yun wants to attack them.
Take action, so as to use the main force to defend against Yan Yun. The idea of annexing our Daxia has to be put down, and we Daxia can gain peace by reaping the benefits!"
Li Tianhao nodded thoughtfully, looked out the window, and murmured: "King Yan has not received us for a long time. He obviously has no intention of negotiating peace with us. We can't waste time like this. We must do something!" Turning around!
, said to his confidant: "Go immediately to find out where the Tibetan mission is stationed and its defense situation, and then report back immediately!" The confidant responded and ran down.
Li Tianhao turned around and stared at the sky outside the window in a daze, mumbling something, not knowing what he was mumbling.
At this time, in the main hall of Prince Yan's Mansion, King Yang Peng of Yan was receiving Wang Xiaozhi, the envoy sent by the Song Dynasty court. Wang Xiaozhi was sitting at the left corner, with a smile on his face, and kept flattering Yang Peng.
The peerless hero of the past and the present, the mainstay of China, the number one hero of the ZTE, etc. In short, all good things were said about Yang Peng. Rather than praising Yang Peng, he was flattering.
Yang Peng took advantage of his opportunity to catch his breath and interrupted him: "Master Wang is really ridiculous, I really don't deserve it!" Seeing that Wang Xiaozhi seemed to want to continue talking on this topic, he immediately stopped him and asked:
"Master Wang, is the situation in Bianjing okay?"
Wang Xiaozhi burst into tears and said: "It's all thanks to the King of Yan that he can hold up the sky and set the Central Plains, and we, the soldiers and people of Bianjing, can rest easy! King Yan's kindness to our soldiers and people of Bianjing is really countless. King Yan is really the lifeblood of our soldiers and people of Bianjing."
Buddha! When Your Majesty talks about King Yan, he also sheds tears of gratitude!..."
Yang Peng asked with a smile: "Don't the people of Bianjing hate me?" Wang Xiaozhi was stunned and said quickly: "King Yan is a great benefactor to the soldiers and people in the south of the Yangtze River. Where does this hatred start? Everyone respects and loves King Yan.
It’s too late!”
Yang Peng smiled and said: "I heard that some people in the imperial court are very dissatisfied with me. I also heard that Your Majesty once planned to take advantage of my main force, Yanyun, to attack Xixia and send his army northward?"
Wang Xiaozhi was taken aback and said quickly: "Your Majesty has absolutely no such intention. Your Majesty has placed great trust in King Yan from the beginning to the end, and regards King Yan as a minister of ZTE! King Yan may not know something, but someone did try to persuade His Majesty this time.
Take the opportunity to go north! But how wise is your Majesty? How could he be sown and do things that would bring discord between relatives and make enemies happy? Therefore, he flatly refused. He also said that if the King of Yan needs it, the imperial court will send troops to support him.
King Yan! Those are the most vicious rumors that King Yan has heard, and they are intended to sow discord between King Yan, the court, and your Majesty. King Yan must not be fooled!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "So, there is no such thing?" Wang Xiaozhi shook his head vigorously, "No such thing!" Then he said: "It was Wang Qinruo and a few other people who instigated it. Your Majesty is already very fond of them.
Impatient!"
Yang Peng had a thoughtful expression on his face. Wang Xiaozhi looked at Yang Peng cautiously and saw that his face was thoughtful and his expression was extremely calm. It was impossible to tell what was going on in his heart.
Yang Peng raised his head and looked at Wang Xiaozhi. When Wang Xiaozhi saw Yang Peng looking at him, he couldn't help but feel a pressure, as if he was facing a fierce tiger. He couldn't help but shrink and lower his head.
Yang Peng said: "I have already felt the good intentions of the imperial court. Please take me to pay tribute to your majesty when you return!" Wang Xiaozhi quickly bowed and said: "I am sure, this is a matter within the scope of my official duties!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "It's rare for adults to come here, why not stay in Tianjing New City for a few days and appreciate the customs and customs of Tianjing New City." Wang Xiaozhi was not from the Central Plains, but a scholar from Jiangnan.
When he came to Tianjing New City for the first time, only 12% of the important officials of the imperial court were left, and they were in urgent need of manpower. Therefore, Zhao Heng selected a group of talents from the local nobles to enrich the imperial court. Wang Xiaozhi was selected that day.
In the imperial court, Wang Xiaozhi, who had just entered the imperial court, had a humble and low-ranking position. However, because he had attached himself to Wang Qinruo, Pang Taishi, etc., he was able to rise through the ranks and reached the high position of Minister of Rites in a very short period of time. Wang Xiaozhi's promotion speed was definitely considered fast.
It is a miracle. There have been many people who have created such miracles throughout the ages. The world thinks that such people are rare talents. In fact, people who have created such miracles are basically useless people who only flatter people but have no real materials.
Wang Xiaozhi thought to himself: 'The King of Yan will definitely give me many gifts, so why should I leave in a hurry!' As soon as he thought about this, he stood up and bowed respectfully: "This will disturb the King of Yan!"
Yang Peng looked at Huang Guang, the Minister of Household Affairs, and ordered: "Huang Guang, take Master Wang back to the guest house for me." Huang Guang responded, walked up to the hall, and made a gesture of invitation to Wang Xiaozhi: "Please!"
Wang Xiaozhi bowed to Yang Peng and left the hall with Huang Guang.
Han Bing glanced at Wang Xiaozhi's back, snorted coldly, and said mockingly: "The court is still the same court, and the officials are still the same officials!"
Zhang Xiang cupped his fists towards Yang Peng and said, "King Yan, I wonder if you want to give some gifts to Wang Xiaozhi?" Yang Peng waved his hand, "That's not necessary!" Zhang Xiang thought it would be better to give some gifts to Wang Xiaozhi, but since King Yan
Feeling that it was unnecessary, he said nothing more.
Yelu Hanyu said: "The imperial court sent such an envoy, and he also brought a large number of gifts. When this envoy saw his eldest brother, he knelt down and acted like a slave. It can be seen that the imperial court was afraid of offending us and wanted to maintain a good relationship with us. In this way
Come, it plays into the hands of the elder brother. The strategic policy formulated by the elder brother was to first go north and then south. Stabilizing the south can be said to be one of the most important policies. Now that the imperial court has taken the initiative to show its goodwill, this matter has become much easier.
!”
Chai Yonghui said coldly: "The Zhao family has always been dishonest and despicable people. Didn't Zhao Song join forces with foreign enemies to attack us many times before? It's just that they didn't get any benefits! Therefore, Zhao Song's attitude today is not necessary.
We care too much about them, but we should be careful to guard against them, lest we capsize in the gutter! Since our rise, Yan Yun has been invincible in the face of powerful enemies. If we are tricked by this cowardly, incompetent, despicable and shameless Zhao Song, it will be a big deal.
!”
Everyone smiled, and Yelu Hanyu said: "What Yonghui said is absolutely true. Although the court's current attitude is very weak, which is exactly what we want, we must not take it lightly! Shanxi and Huainan still need to be cautious, and there is no need to
As the saying goes, 'Be careful and sail the ship for ten thousand years.' You can never go wrong with being careful!" He glanced at Han Bing and said with a smile: "With sister Han Bing in charge of guarding this Shanxi area, it must be foolproof," Han Bing said with a smile.
Bing couldn't help but feel very happy when she heard Yelu Hanyu praise herself in front of her elder brother.
Yelu Hanyu's eyes turned to Yang Peng's face and said: "Brother Duan Zhixian who is guarding Huainan is not that sophisticated. I need to remind him that he is better!" Yang Peng nodded and said with a smile: "Duan Zhixian is indeed brave enough.
It is not precise enough and often cares about the beginning and not the end!" He glanced at Yelu Hanyu and said, "I will write a letter later and send it to Duan Zhixian in Huainan!" Yelu Hanyu nodded.
Zhang Xiang cupped his fists and said: "King Yan, now that the War of Goryeo is coming to an end, should we send envoys to the capital of Liao to inquire about the situation?" Yang Peng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "There is no need. We have channels to get information from Liao.
In order for the imperial court to obtain information, there is no need to send an envoy. The information that this envoy can obtain is very limited. Moreover, if we care too much about the attitude of the Liao state towards us, I am afraid that it will only encourage the arrogance of the Khitan people.
But it's counterproductive!" Everyone felt that what Yang Peng said was reasonable and nodded.
Yang Peng glanced at everyone and said: "If nothing happens, our army will not take any big actions in a short time. Just do what you should do!" Everyone agreed in unison. Yang Peng said: "Okay,
Come on, everyone!" Everyone bowed to Yang Peng and filed out of the hall, leaving only Han Bing and Yelu Hanyu. Han Bing cupped his fists and said, "Brother, I'll go to the military camp to have a look." Yang Peng nodded.
He said softly: "Don't work too hard, go home early!" Han Bing couldn't help but feel tenderness in his heart, he hummed, turned around and left.
As soon as Han Bing left, Jiang Li ran in from the outside, first met with Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu, and then said to Yang Peng: "Master, Mrs. Lihua sent someone to invite King Yan, saying that she has something important to discuss with the master!
"
Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu exchanged glances, and the latter smiled and said: "Nine times out of ten, this princess is here for the imperial envoy!" Yang Peng nodded, stood up, and asked Yelu Hanyu: "
Mei'er, are you going with me?" Yelu Hanyu rolled his eyes at Yang Peng, "They invited you, but they didn't invite me. If I went, it would be too uninteresting! You go, I'll go back
Take a nap."
Yang Peng nodded with a smile and walked outside. Soon after, Yang Peng, supported by all the guards, arrived outside the gate of 'Mrs. Zhao's Mansion'. The guards guarding the door saw King Yan coming and quickly bowed down.
Salute: "Greetings to King Yan!" Yang Peng and others got off their horses. The two guards guarding the door immediately stood up and pushed open the door of the mansion. Yang Peng and others walked straight into the door.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
