Chapter 151 The Regent King Han Derang
Huiweizhai has a backyard and two rows of wing rooms in the backyard. In addition to storing some things, it can also live in people. Usually, Huozi and Chou Niang are so busy that they can't go home, they will also live here. Of course, everyone is busy in the restaurant during the day, so there is no one in the wing room now. After Li Zhang pushed the door open, the Yan Niang also walked in with him.
"Tell me, why did you escape to our restaurant?" Li Zhang casually found a chair and sat down. This was Huozi's room, which was very simple. Apart from a bed, there were only two chairs and a table. There were unwritten accounts on the table, as well as a few bites of snacks, etc. The ground was filled with garbage. After all, the room for a single boy was basically impossible to be too clean.
"I...I'm trafficked..."
Yan Niang said again with her eyes flashing, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Li Zhang and said: "Don't lie in front of me. In order to find you, the imperial court has almost turned the entire Tokyo city over in order to find you. Yelu Yanshou has been clamoring to return to Liao Kingdom. If he really goes back, I am afraid that the Liao and Song Kingdom will also have conflicts, and all this is because of you!"
"I... I don't understand what you are saying at all, nor do I know Yelu Yanshou!" Yan Niang said stubbornly at this time, but her eyes did not dare to look at Li Zhang from the beginning, which further strengthened Li Zhang's speculation.
"I don't understand, right? Then let's go with me and hand you over, so as not to threaten our Song Dynasty with this matter again!" Li Zhang said, grabbing the other party's arm, and then forced her to walk out.
Yan Niang was also shocked by Li Zhang. She forced herself to drag her body and refused to leave, which was embarrassing. Li Zhang was about the same height as the other party, but she didn't expect that Yan Niang was very strong, and Li Zhang couldn't drag her as she dragged her.
"If you don't leave, right? Then I'll call Yelu Yanshou to see how long you can be stubborn!" Li Zhang said as he shook the other party's arm away, then turned around and was about to go out.
"No!" Yan Niang finally couldn't help but step forward to grab Li Zhang's clothes and begged, "I admit that I am the princess of Liao, but please don't hand me over, otherwise I will die!"
"Die?" Li Zhang was stunned when he heard Yan Niang's words. Then he turned around and looked at her with surprise and said, "What do you mean? Aren't you going to have a kiss? How could you die?"
"Haha, don't be deceived by Yelu Yanshou, so he won't be willing to send me to Dashi. He doesn't even want to leave Liao Kingdom at all. He was forced to be helpless and served as the envoy for this trip. But a few days ago, I accidentally heard that he actually wanted to kill me halfway so that he wouldn't have to go to Dashi anymore. This time I ran away, probably just what he wanted!" When Yan Niang said the last, she couldn't help but sneer on her face.
"What does it mean? How dare Yelu Yanshou kill you? And he is an envoy. If you really die, I'm afraid he won't want to survive even if he goes back?" Li Zhang became more and more confused as he listened, and asked again in confusion.
"It seems that you don't know Yelu Yanshou's background. With his identity, as long as it is not a serious crime of treason, no one dares to kill him. Even if he kills me, the princess, he will probably be demoted and will be re-activated in a few years. After all, I am not a real princess. I am just a woman from a royal family. If I die, I'm afraid even my parents won't care."
Yan Niang also showed a sarcastic smile on her face. She was actually about the same age as Li Zhang. She was also loved by her when she was at home. However, when the marriage was decided, her parents actually chose to sacrifice her for the benefit of the family, which made her despair of family affection long ago.
"What background does Yelu Yanshou have? He can even kill the princess who is married without punishment?" Li Zhang couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard this.
"Haha, Han De must know you Song Ren?" Yan Niang asked again at this time.
"Of course I know that he is not your old lover of Empress Dowager Xiao?" Li Zhang nodded immediately and said, "Those who have read the Yang family generals will definitely not be unfamiliar with Han Delang. When Empress Dowager Xiao sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty several times, she finally forced Zhao Heng to sign the Chanyuan Alliance with the Liao Kingdom. Han Delang was Empress Dowager Xiao's lover, and she was also the most important assistant to Empress Dowager Xiao's control of the government. She even became the regent of the Liao Kingdom, just like Dorgon of the Qing Dynasty later.
Speaking of Han Delang's experience, it is also full of legend. He is a Han Chinese. His grandfather was once a slave captured by the Liao Kingdom, but he achieved the position of Zhongshuling with his own abilities, and his father was even crowned king. This is a miracle for a Han family.
Han Delang was better than his grandfather and father. He became a renowned figure among the young nobles of the Liao Kingdom at a young age and was engaged to Empress Dowager Xiao, who was still a girl at the time. Unfortunately, Empress Dowager Xiao was summoned to the palace as a concubine and later became the queen. Empress Dowager Xiao's husband, Emperor Jingzong of Liao, died early. Han Delang also became the leader of Han ministers at that time, so the old lovers rekindled their old love.
Historical books record that Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Delang were eating at the same table, lying at the same bed, and even Empress Dowager Xiao officially remarried Han Delang, which was allowed in the Khitan customs. Even Empress Dowager Xiao's son, now the Queen of Liao, Yelu Longxu, also recognized Han Delang as his father, and Empress Dowager Xiao had a deep affection for Han Delang. It is said that once Han Delang played polo with someone, but a nobleman deliberately hit Han Delang, and was directly ordered to be executed by Empress Dowager Xiao afterwards.
Later, after Empress Dowager Xiao passed away, Han Derang became ill due to excessive grief. Yelu Longxu did perform filial piety in front of Han Derang's bed, and even personally fed him medicine and food, which was even more close than his own son. After Han Derang's death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Shangshu Ling, posthumously named "Wenzhong", was given a burial instrument, and built a temple to the Qianling Mausoleum. At the same time, he was also the only Han and minister in the history of the Liao Dynasty to be buried in the imperial tomb.
"What is a lover? Han Derang is the husband of Empress Dowager Xiao. But you are pedantic people in the Song Dynasty. Ordinary women can remarry, so why can't the Empress Dowager remarry?" Hearing Li Zhang's name for Han Derang, Yan Niang retorted with some dissatisfaction. Although Han Derang has passed away for almost ten years, he still has a great reputation in the Liao Kingdom. Many girls also admire his love with Empress Dowager Xiao very much, and Yan Niang is no exception.
"Whether it is a lover or a husband, what does Yelu Yanshou have to do with Han Derang?" Li Zhang asked curiously again.
"Of course it's related. Yelu Yanshou is Han Derang's son. With his family background, who dares to kill him as long as he doesn't rebel?" Yan Niang explained again.
