For the Song and Liao countries, Zhao Jiu and Yelu Dashi's close ministers all knew that they had the habit of writing letters, but no one knew what they wrote, and of course they didn't dare to pry. Duan Zhixing, who sent the letter that day, was a little strange.
He has been working as an official for the imperial court for several years, but it is rare to see Zhao Jiu look like this, he looks like he is relieved, more like he is sad.
However, Zhao Jiu did not dwell on it for too long, and then ordered Pei Yong to get pen and ink, put the letter from Yelu Dashi into a box, turned to the case, thought about it, and then said it with a wave of his hand.
Duan Zhixing said: "When the ink is dry, you can pack the letter and send it back." Duan Zhixing naturally said yes, but saw that Zhao Jiu ignored the cold spring and went straight out of Funing Palace, taking Jingsai County Prince with him without knowing it.
Where did you go.
When Duan Zhixing was loading the letter, he could not help but see Zhao Guan's enthusiastic reply: "The reed flowers are blooming by the river in the old capital. Brother Dashi can return home slowly."
Duan Zhixing thought that some time ago, Zhao and Song Dynasties moved the capital and put things in order, but at the same time they did not forget to send medicine to the envoys of the Western Liao Kingdom who were seriously ill, including those hard-won mountain ginseng. Although he did not understand the cause and effect for the moment, he couldn't help but
A saying comes to mind: Heroes cherish each other.
Two legendary monarchs, one only controlled half of the country, reorganized the old country and set off again, fighting for their lives again and again, and finally wiped out the gold and avenged the shame, ruled the Yellow Emperor and moved the capital, and everyone in the world was afraid of submission. The other traveled thousands of miles, and became more and more frustrated.
Qiang, who re-established the country in a foreign country full of Turks, both had outstanding vision and extraordinary courage. Duan Zhixing was obviously just sending and receiving a letter, but it actually had some wonderful epic meaning.
Times create heroes, and heroes create times. How it goes, we can only wait for future generations to comment.
It is said that Yanyun is 8,000 miles away from the Suiye River. Even though the left army of the imperial camp, which had just been renamed as the Imperial Guards, rushed 800 miles to the capital of Ningxia, and was then handed over by Liang Jiaying to the envoy to Xiliao, eating sand all the way to the west.
In Balashagon City, the capital of the Liao Kingdom, the reply was handed over to Yelu Dashi, who was unable to get up from his bed. It was already late spring in April, and even the spring breeze in the Western Regions could not conceal it.
At this time, the hero of the generation was already skinny and skinny, and the black aura on his rough and arrogant face even Liang Jiaying, who was not familiar with medical science, thought it was an ominous sign. However, he heard that Yelu Dashi was holding a letter in his hand, with a bitter expression on his face,
Said: "In a moment of weakness, I wrote such a letter to Zhao Song's official family. It made him laugh, but his magnanimity was something I didn't expect. Man, after all, I was born in a mortal body. What did I say about Yanshan back then?
, when you are about to die, you are not immune to the vulgarity!"
A group of important ministers around him all changed their expressions. Xiao Ta Buyan almost burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, please, please don't say such ominous words."
If Zhao Jiu is the founding king who led the masses to rebirth, with overwhelming prestige, then Yelu Dashi traveled thousands of miles to preserve the remaining Khitan veins, and also enjoys a supreme status in the hearts of these people. Seeing him make these ominous words,
Not only the queen, but also many important ministers could not conceal their sadness.
The newly appointed King of the Sixth Academy of Western Liao Dynasty, Marshal of the Military and Horse Department, Xiao Orila, forced a smile and said: "Your Majesty, please don't say such depressing words. Otherwise, how should I deal with myself? Now is the time when the grass is green and the orioles are flying.
, when you get better, the prince is still waiting to go horse racing with you."
"Life and death are fateful, and destiny is constant. We have known these truths since we were young. Why do you deceive yourself in front of the noble envoy of the Song Dynasty?" Although Yelu Dashi's complexion was poor, his mind was exceptionally clear. He turned to Liang Jiaying and said: "Ambassador Liang,
It has been twelve years since we met back then. Please wait a moment this time and I will give you a final reply to Zhao Guan's family. It turns out that at that time you also talked about the scenery of Lingnan, and I also thought about it. After the country is stabilized, the north and south of the Yangtze River will
Maybe we can still see horse racing, but now there is no chance."
If Yelu Dashi had not become such a withered appearance, Liang Jiaying would have thought so much about you, and wanted to invade the Song Dynasty? But he is obviously just a dying man, and it is a pity that he cannot visit the great rivers and mountains. What else can be said,
I can only say goodbye and wait.
Xiao Orila and others knew that the correspondence between these two legendary monarchs was never allowed to be seen by others. They were about to lead the people to retreat, but Yelu Dashi kept him and said: "Oulila, you go and send Tai
Master slave brings it here. After I write it down, I will ask him to hand it over to Liang Jiaying. I have something to tell you."
Xiao Weili had a stern look on his face and quickly agreed. Xiao Ta left without a smoke but paused in his steps. He wanted to turn around and say something, but saw that her husband had closed his eyes tiredly and said nothing after all.
Left slowly.
This Khitan man, Yelu Taishinu, who had served as a personal guard for the fourth prince of Jin Dynasty, was stabbed in the face by Song Dynasty, and was almost tortured to death by Zhang Rong, King of Lu of Song Dynasty, was ordered to pack the letter and was about to leave, when Yelu Dashi suddenly stopped him.
He said: "Master slave."
"The guilty minister is here." Master Yelu quickly knelt down and said.
"Why is it so? You and I are from the same clan. In terms of blood relations, you are the second son of Jingzong's late emperor, Liang Wang Longyou, and are more authentic than my Yuanzhi clan. Don't be afraid. I just want to say that in the past, the earth collapsed and the mountains were destroyed. You and I are just like you."
The clan had no choice but to drive away the slaves for the Jurchens. But since we have settled here today, we must remember that we are the descendants of white horses and green oxen. We must not let ourselves down and guard this hard-won family fortune.
Stop being a lost dog!"
Rao was such a smooth person, and after hearing these words, his eyes couldn't help but moisten. He was unable to express any loyalty, so he knocked his head heavily on the ground, and then left resolutely.
After he left, Yelu Dashi stretched out his hand and called out: "Ouli La, come here."
Xiao Orila didn't dare to neglect, he quickly stepped forward, held his master's hand tightly, half-knelt by the couch, and said: "Your Majesty, I will do whatever you ask me to do!"
"Don't be like this. We grew up together, but when people are about to die, they think too much. In the future, you will assist Ta Buyan and Yi Lie in government affairs. It is tradition for me, the Khitan heroine, to be regent, and this child Yi Lie...
...I just hope you can do your best in spite of the difficult situation we have to endure when we travel across mountains and rivers across deserts. As for how far we have gone, I won’t blame you. It’s just such a pity that I can no longer be with you, Yanshan and Yi.
Hun will go to Linhuang Mansion to take a bath again, and sing "Jian Jia Cang Cang!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiao Weili finally couldn't help it and burst into tears. Didn't he know that Yelu Dashi had been vaguely aware that he and Xiao Ta were not smoking recently, and as Yelu Dashi himself
This absolute core is no longer lucky and has begun to have various frictions. To be honest, Xiao Orila and Xiao Tabuyan are very familiar with each other. They are from the same clan and have a close relationship. They can't help but support each other in a foreign country.
In the past few years, we have formed a family of children, but all this is on the premise that Yelu Dashi is healthy. Since ancient times, when the heroine sat in the court and the important ministers took care of the orphans, it was rare for them to live in harmony, but Yelu Dashi sacrificed everything to go west for thirty thousand people.
Here, we travel through mountains and rivers, cross deserts, and fight hard day and night. We are absolutely unwilling to watch our country die in internal fighting. That’s why we are so moved with love and reason. Even I don’t want to call myself myself, as if I am still
The young clan who just won the top prize in high school decades ago.
"What your Majesty said is that the queen has great talents, and I have received great favor from you. I, a lost dog, accompanied you on the Western Expedition, and was awarded the title of marshal, and became the king. In this life, I have nothing to repay. I will handle your state affairs that time.
In the future, your bones and blood will be regarded as the orthodoxy. If there is any deviation, you will not be able to live a good life and die, and you will not be able to return to your hometown and have a good burial!" After saying this, he took a few steps back and kowtowed heavily.
Yelu Dashi smiled bitterly and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, it really doesn't have to be like this." I used to be so proud, but today I have to learn the ways of those concubines, playing with people's hearts, and thinking about ambitions. It's really ridiculous. I don't know that Zhao is in the east.
On the other side of Jiu, what will happen when he is dying?
Yelu Dashi's illness lasted for another summer under various legendary elixirs, but everyone could see that he was in great pain just to hold on and lay some more foundations for Daliao!
This summer, Prince Yili didn't know how many times he scolded him. Once, in a fit of rage, he hit him with a memorandum. Even though he was pulled away by his slaves, it still scared the child to tears.
"Cry, you know how to cry. Do you know that last year's household registration statistics showed that the "old people" of Hu Si'or Luduo in this dynasty were only 240,000 households. Do you know that with the foundation of 240,000 households, we can control thousands of miles?
"What is the concept of "environment"? You are crying and waiting for the Seljuq Turks to attack, can you cry to death for their Khan!"
Xiao Tabuyan couldn't stand it anymore and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, take care of yourself. The child is only thirteen years old. I will educate him slowly."
"Thirteen years old, is thirteen years young? The emperor of this dynasty, Shengzong, was twelve years old when he succeeded to the throne. The tower is not smoke-free. Tell me, can you do what the Empress Dowager Chengtian did?"
The Empress Dowager Chengtian is the famous Xiao Chuo and Xiao Yanyan.
"I dare not say that I have the skills of Empress Dowager Chengtian, but if I still have a breath left, I will protect the country, lead the warriors with bows and arrows, and protect the shelter that Your Majesty has brought us with your health." Xiao Ta Buyan said solemnly.
Yelu Dashi sighed heavily, drove the others out, and said: "Queen, help me to the window to blow in the wind."
Don't you know what's going on with you? Can you get up? But Xiaota didn't say anything even if he didn't smoke. He drove the others away and followed the instructions. Yelu Dashi miraculously got up and actually walked to the window that was closed in the past.
, but Xiaota Buyan has already felt that her husband's weight has been terribly light, but after many years of marriage, she still opened the huge easterly window lattice, Yelu Dashi felt the late summer evening breeze slightly, and looked at the water plants on the grassland
The land was full of lush cattle and sheep, and he finally showed a smile and said: "The tower is not smoke-free. I have had a hard time these past few months, but after all, good news came a few days ago. Do you know?"
Xiaota Buyan has already taken full regency, how could he not know it, but for the sake of her husband's happiness, he still said: "Your Majesty will also tell my concubine any good news."
"This bastard Li Gang was finally too sick to hold on any longer, so he was forcibly sent back to his hometown in Fujian by Zhao Jiu. From now on, we Khitan descendants no longer have to bear the wrath of this old man! Hahahaha... cough cough" Xiao Ta
Buyan felt nervous and quickly helped her husband sit on the Persian stall and said, "Your Majesty, don't be overjoyed or sad. Li Gang is just an old man and he doesn't deserve this."
"It's not worth it. This old man has been so arrogant and domineering over the years. You think I always advise you not to be angry. In fact, you are very aggrieved. I just can't help it. It's better now. I can leave with more peace of mind."
"Your Majesty, you said again..."
"Okay, the tower is smokeless. Don't deceive yourself. Listen, after I left, I already talked to the Zhao Song family. The bones should be buried in Yanyun. This can be considered my last selfish intention. Xiao Weili has followed me for thirty years.
I know his character best, so don’t argue with him too much. After all, I’m not pedantic in the land of the Four Wars, but he is more suitable for leading troops in war than you. With the prestige I left behind, what you have to do is
To ensure the loyalty of these people in my hometown and at the same time continue to communicate with the Song Dynasty, this alliance must continue."
Xiaota Buyan knew that her husband was explaining his funeral affairs. Although he felt as sad as a chrysanthemum, he still endured the pain and wrote down everything. The Yelv Stone seemed to be reflecting back on the light. That night, he talked a lot intermittently, sometimes recalling, and sometimes explaining, the Khitan survivors.
, the dominance of the West Sea, the advancement of Confucianism, the relationship between Song and Liao, and even many trivial matters in childhood. Xiaota Buyan listened at first, but in the end she had to pick up the charcoal from Yanjing and write it down one by one. She already felt,
These were the last words her husband left for him, and he didn't want to leave out a word.
Yelu Dashi didn't know when he fell asleep. In his dream, he seemed to see his young self, the number one scholar in the army, wearing iron and fish scale armor, riding a strong horse, and the horse's hooves stepped on the flat ground at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, as if flying.
He galloped over and came to look at his old self.
"Aren't you leaving yet? I've been thinking about it for twenty years!"
Yelu Dashi struggled to sit up and raised his hand to hold his young self.
But the young self ran away on horseback. Suddenly, the Jin soldiers invaded south in large numbers and captured Zhongjing. Some of them were unwilling to support their uncle Yelu Chun as emperor and continued to resist. Elder Chun Chun also came, still the same good old man.
He looked like one and said: "Well done, well done, come and join us."
Immediately afterwards, a fully armored Song man appeared in front of him. Yelu Dashi took a good look at it and then smiled and said: "Zhao Guanjia, at your age, do you want to be with Dashi Huangquan?"
Zhao Jiu in the dream was still as high-spirited as the first time we met, and said: "I sent Dashi Linya on his way westward, so what if I send him off again now?" After saying this, he started humming, which was clearly his favorite "Iron-Blooded Heart".
Yes, the big waves crashing into the sand, the wasteland and the bright moon will eventually come to an end.
Yelu Dashi finally rode on his beloved horse and ran towards the sun from Suiye River. As the wind blew, his ailments gradually disappeared. Also disappearing with them were Xiao Ta Bu Yan, Xiao Wuli La and Yi.
Lie, Yerunuge....
This Daliao is left to you.
There were cries all around, and in reality, the concubines and courtiers also discovered that Yelu Dashi had taken his last breath and began to cry.
The sun that has shone on Khitan for nearly twenty years has set.
In the late summer of the seventeenth year of Jianyan's reign in the Song Dynasty, Yelu Dashi, the founding emperor of the Western Liao Dynasty, passed away at the age of forty-eight. His temple name was Dezong.
