Zhao Lihua sent Yang Peng out of the yard, and then returned to the bedroom. She was dazed for a while, and suddenly smiled sweetly. Several personal maids came in, and one of them asked curiously: "Princess, did King Yan say anything to the princess?"
What sweet words are you talking about?" Zhao Lihua blushed and suddenly smiled shyly. Seeing this, the maids understood and couldn't help but feel happy for the princess and themselves. The fate of maids like them who follow their master is actually
It is not in one's own hands. The future destiny depends entirely on the master's destiny. One will be prosperous and one will suffer. Before, King Yan ignored the princess. Although the princess was depressed, how could they, the palace maids?
Don't be worried! Now that everything is in peace, King Yan and the princess have become a loving couple, which makes them finally breathe a sigh of relief. Frankly speaking, they really have to thank those assassins!
"Then the princess is going to live in the palace?" One of the palace maids asked curiously. The other palace maids also showed their concern.
Zhao Lihua shook her head, "I can't live in it. Although my husband wants me to live in the palace, I don't want to see the other women, so I asked to stay here." When the maids heard this, they couldn't help but become worried.
Zhao Lihua turned around and asked the maids: "Have all the previous matters been resolved?"
A palace maid hurriedly said: "They have all been solved. Those hateful assassins were all taken away by Mrs. Yelu, but the strange thing is that King Yan actually let Ni Chengmou go. It's really puzzling!"
Zhao Lihua thought that Yang Peng let him go for her sake, and she was very grateful. She took a long breath, put all these unpleasant things behind her, walked to the guqin, sat down, and played the qin.
, and then started singing a cappella. It was to the tune of "Asking for Love", sung by Zhao Lihua's soft and melodious voice, which had a unique and moving charm.
When the song ended, all the palace ladies looked very intoxicated.
Zhao Lihua sighed, "It's a pity that my husband didn't write these for me!" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel some resentment in her heart. She didn't want to play the piano anymore, so she stood up and walked behind the desk, intending to read for a while, but
Unexpectedly, she found a piece of rice paper covered with words under the paperweight. Zhao Lihua was very surprised. She removed the paperweight, picked up the rice paper and read it, her eyes lit up. She quickly raised her head and asked several palace maids: "Is this your husband?"
Are they left behind?"
A palace maid hurriedly said: "When the princess was sleeping, I saw King Yan sitting behind the desk writing something. I think it was written by King Yan."
Zhao Lihua was very happy, and quickly looked at the manuscript in her hand carefully. Her beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance and tenderness, and she couldn't help but murmured: "My husband wrote this for me!" The maids were very surprised, and one maid couldn't help shouting.
Said: "Great! This shows that in the heart of King Yan, the status of the princess is no less than that of Mrs. Yelu and Mrs. Chai!" The other maids nodded vigorously. Zhao Lihua felt delighted, but deep in this joy she still felt
There is such a little bit of regret.
Yang Peng returned to Prince Yan's Mansion and said to Jiang Li: "Send two teams of Feifeng female guards to guard the Princess Mansion." Jiang Li clasped her fists in agreement and ran down. Yang Peng walked into the hall, and Qian Letian greeted him with a happy face.
Di cupped his fists and said: "My lord, my subordinates have reached an agreement with the envoys of Korea and Japan!" Yang Peng casually sat down on a chair and said with a smile: "Forget about the details, just tell me an integer."
Qian Letian said excitedly: "A total of 300,000 army armors and weapons and 30,000 horses, earning a total of more than 6 million taels of silver!" Yang Peng felt unbelievable, "So much?" Qian Letian nodded,
"That's all!" Yang Peng chuckled and said, "Okay! The two families will fight to the death, and we will make a fortune!" Qian Letian said regretfully: "It's a pity that we are not the only one to make a fortune. Our horses were only sold to the Japanese and Koreans.
The war horses were all purchased from the Jin Khitan. It is said that the total number exceeds 50,000, worth nearly three million taels of silver! This time the Khitans also made a good profit!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "In business, we can't make money as a family!" Thinking of something, "How is the war between the Koreans and the Japanese?" "According to the news just received, the two sides fought very fiercely. Because the Koreans
The Japanese navy was severely damaged by us before, so the Japanese navy has been defeated by the Japanese. Now the Japanese have captured many islands outside Goryeo. It is estimated that it will not be long before the Japanese launch a landing war against Goryeo!"
Yang Peng touched his chin and asked: "Do you think if the Japanese and Goryeo fought on land, who would have a better chance of winning?" Qian Letian thought for a while, "Although the Japanese have a large number of troops, if they attack from behind, they will lose more and win less."
Bar."
Yang Peng shook his head, "Not necessarily! The Japanese are extremely ferocious, I'm afraid the Koreans won't be able to resist them!" After a pause, "With the relationship of the Queen Mother of Korea, if we can drag the Khitans into the quagmire of the war between Korea and the Japanese
, then it couldn’t be better for us!”
Qian Letian suddenly said: "There is one thing I almost forgot to report to my lord. Rumors have been spreading within the Liao Kingdom recently, saying that Yeqi Guanyin and Yeqi Hucheng are conspiring to depose the emperor!"
Yang Peng frowned, "This is impossible! What Ye Qi Guanyin cares about most is the stability of the Liao Kingdom. She will never disregard the stability and safety of the Liao Kingdom to depose the emperor for some purpose! If she really wants to do this
, she had already done that when Brother Ye Qianxiu and others supported the emperor, and she would never wait until now! This rumor is probably spread by someone with ulterior motives for ulterior motives!"
Qian Letian felt that what Yang Peng said made sense and nodded, "Then, who is spreading such rumors and what is the purpose?" Yang Peng thought for a while and shook his head, "It's hard to say now! No.
I have a hunch that there will be drastic changes within the Liao Kingdom!"
At this moment, Jiang Li led a dusty officer in from the outside, clasped his fists and said: "Master, General Han Bing has sent a messenger." The officer immediately bowed: "I pay my respects to His Highness, King Yan!"
No need to be polite." "Thank you, His Highness King Yan!" The officer bowed again, stood up, took off the backpack on his back, took out a mud-sealed bamboo tube, and presented it to Chen Xiao with both hands. Yang Peng took it
He passed the bamboo tube, opened the mud seal, and poured out the letter. He handed the bamboo tube back to the officer, opened the letter, and read it again. There was a thoughtful look on his face. He raised his head and asked the officer: "Is Han Bing's health okay?
?”
"Report to King Yan, General Han Bing is still the same!" Yang Peng nodded and ordered: "You go back to the guest house to rest first, and I will ask someone to hand over a letter to you later." The officer promised with fists clasped, "
Retreat, villain!" Then he retreated.
Yang Peng looked at the letter in his hand and said to Qian Letian: "Brother Ye Qianxiu has left Shanxi and returned to Beijing. This may be related to the situation you just mentioned." Qian Letian thought for a moment, "If that's true.
, I'm afraid someone wants to provoke a fight between the two major forces within the Liao Kingdom!" Yang Peng frowned and said: "It's also possible that they deliberately created such a situation!" "My lord, are you talking about Brother Ye Qianxiu?
"Yang Peng said with a smile: "It's hard to say now!" Qian Letian thought of something, "I almost forgot something! In recent times, Mongolians have frequently appeared in Zhongjing. I don't know whether it was accidental or something.
Come here for?"
Yang Peng's heart moved and he frowned and said: "Mongolians?" He glanced at Qian Letian and said, "Let our team report the situation once a month from now on. If there is an emergency, we must report it immediately. There must be no mistakes!" "Yes!"
!”
Yang Peng left the mansion and went to the Zhonghun Hall outside the city. It was already dusk at this time, and Wang Laozhi was leading a group of Taoist priests to perform praising rituals in the main hall. This is a must-do homework for the Zhonghun Hall every day, once in the morning.
, once in the evening. Yang Peng did not disturb Wang Laozhi and the others, but waited among the people. At this time, thousands of devout people gathered in the square outside the main hall of Zhonghun Hall. Many of them were relatives of fallen soldiers to commemorate them.
My relatives, but most of them are ordinary people who come to pray, either for marriage, for children, for blessings, and so on. Haha, now the loyal souls of Yan Yunjun also
It’s time to take care of things that should be taken care of by the gods in heaven!
The solemn praising ceremony lasted for more than a quarter of an hour and finally ended. With the melodious sound of the golden bell, the Taoist priests filed out from the side doors on both sides of the hall. Immediately, the people waiting outside the hall came forward to offer incense.
Praying. Yang Peng and others left the main hall through the side door of the main hall.
As soon as he came out, he met a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest originally thought that the pilgrim who was offering incense had gone to the wrong place, and was about to come forward to dissuade him. Then he found that it was King Yan who came. He was shocked and quickly bowed and said: "Bye by the small road."
His Highness King Yan!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "No need to be polite, where is your conservator?" "The abbot is in the back, and the path will take King Yan forward." "No need!" Yang Peng then led a few secret disciples.
Wei walked towards the abbot. The Taoist priest bowed and waited until Yang Peng was far away before going about his business.
Several people came outside the abbot, while a few secret guards stayed outside. Yang Peng walked in and saw Wang Laozhi sitting at the coffee table, drinking tea leisurely, and said with a smile: "Old man Wang, you are so elegant!
"When Wang Laozhi saw King Yan coming, he quickly put down his tea cup and stood up to pay his respects: "I pay my respects to the leader!"
Yang Peng walked to Wang Laozhi and sat down, "Sit down." Wang Laozhi responded and sat down. He quickly turned over an upside-down teacup, rinsed it with boiling tea, and then
He put it down in front of Yang Peng with both hands, then picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Chen Xiao. The tea soup was light green, clear, and fragrant. I don't know if it was Wang Laozhi's good tea art or the quality of the tea.
Yang Peng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with emotion: "It seems that tea art is still useful! No one in my family can make such a tea soup with the same tea leaves!"
Wang Laozhi smiled and said: "The leader is overly praised!" Yang Peng took another sip and put down the tea cup. "Old man Wang, I heard you talk about the future before. I wonder if you have discovered anything recently?"
Wang Laozhi frowned slightly and said: "I saw many white lights piercing the sky. The scene was just like when King Yan was born!" After a pause, "The future will be even more chaotic! I only saw two pairs of lights.
The Winged Tiger War Flag is walking all the way, and behind it is an endless mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!"
Yang Peng frowned, "What do you mean?" Wang Laozhi was silent for a moment, "I'm afraid the real fierce battle is still to come, and I'm afraid there will be many generals stained with blood for the two-winged tiger flag! The future is dangerous, Yan Yun
The army is destined to fight through obstacles with its own flesh and blood!"
Yang Peng was silent for a moment, smiled freely, and looked at Wang Laozhi, "I remember you said before that future history will be dominated by the Khitans, us and another mysterious force. Is it possible that that mysterious force is the Mongols?
?”
Wang Laozhi thought for a moment and nodded: "It's possible! But what I saw was a little different. I saw the goshawk soaring in the north, the iron-blooded eagle flag in the west, and the eight-headed monster in the east. They
They are all powerful enemies that Yan Yun cannot avoid! The road ahead is unclear, and only the iron-blooded army and iron will can dominate the future!"
Yang Peng frowned and said, "Are the goshawks in the north Khitan or Mongolian?" "Maybe they are Khitan or Mongolian, or maybe both." Yang Peng nodded and thought again:
"Then what does the iron-blooded eagle flag of the West mean?" Wang Laozhi shook his head, "I don't know. This is just a scene I saw in the hazy future. I also saw the horror behind the eagle flag that has no end.
Armies, and countless cities in ruins!”
Yang Peng thought for a moment, and then thought about the eight-headed monster Wang Laozhi mentioned. Could it be that he was referring to the eight-pronged serpent in the Japanese legend? If so, wouldn't it mean that the main threat in the east is the Japanese? Yang Peng was a little confused.
Dare to believe this conclusion, he really didn't think that the Japanese could pose any threat to him at this time! Then he threw all the messy thoughts behind him, no matter what kind of enemies he might appear, I just have to do what I should do
That's it, no matter what kind of enemy appears, there is nothing to fear! Yang Peng decided not to think about these boring things anymore, and started chatting with Wang Laozhi, and unknowingly the conversation came to Fang Jinzhi.
Wang Laozhi said sincerely: "Master, don't blame your subordinates for talking too much. As the leader, you should have more contact with the saint!"
Yang Peng chuckled, "I don't think I need to be obsessed with this kind of thing. As for me, I have so many wives and concubines, and I'm really overwhelmed. As for the saint, she may have her own ideas. It's better not to be forced by others."
!”
"But the saint is supposed to be the wife of the leader. This is a rule passed down for hundreds of years. How can it be changed!"
"Rules are made by people! Hundreds of years have passed, and I'm afraid the original rules are no longer appropriate!" Seeing that Wang Laozhi was still arguing, he quickly said: "Don't say it, I think this matter still depends on fate.
Come on! If the saint and I are destined to be together, we will naturally be together. If we are not destined to be together, don’t force it! I am the leader, and I still have the right to change the rules!"
Wang Laozhi smiled bitterly and said: "Since the leader has already mentioned this, what else can I say?" Yang Peng smiled, picked up the teapot and filled his cup. Wang Laozhi was flattered and stood up quickly.
He stood up and clasped his fists with fear on his face: "How dare you work for the leader!" Yang Peng put down the teapot and said angrily: "Normally, don't talk about so many rules! Sit down!" Wang Laozhi sat down,
Seeing that there was almost no tea in Yang Peng's teacup, he picked up the teapot and filled it up for Yang Peng.
Yang Peng picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down, "Speaking of the Saint, I'm very curious. What is she doing now? Why doesn't it seem like I haven't seen her for a long time?" "Oh, the Saint has left Yanjing.
Go to Hebei, Shandong, and Henan to comfort the people in distress!" Yang Peng chuckled, "She looks like a charity worker!"
Wang Laozhi smiled. Suddenly he remembered something, stood up, apologized, and then walked to a grate under the inner wall. He picked up a dark gourd, turned around and walked back, holding both hands
He presented it to Yang Peng and said with a smile: "This is the elixir specially refined for the leader by my subordinates!"
Yang Peng felt very strange. He reached out to take the gourd, unscrewed the lid, and smelled it. A strong fragrance immediately penetrated his nose. Yang Peng sighed, and then he was surprised to find that a certain part of his body immediately
He held his head high and asked quickly: "What is this?"
Wang Laozhi said with a smile: "When I saw that the leader had many wives and concubines, I was worried that the leader would not be able to cope with it, so I specially refined this pot of Gu Yuan Dan for the leader." Yang Peng suddenly understood and laughed and said: "It took a long time to make trouble.
You can't do anything with a gun! Old man Wang, you are really thoughtful!" Wang Laozhi bowed and said, "Serving the leader is a subordinate's duty."
Yang Peng screwed the lid on, took a look, and asked with some worry: "Will this 'Guyuan Dan' have the same side effects as those lead pills?" Wang Laozhi said quickly: "Master, don't worry, subordinates.
The Gu Yuan Pill is definitely not the lead and mercury pills refined by those Taoist priests who cheat money and sex! All the medicinal materials in the prescription are harmless to the human body, and they also have the effect of strengthening the body and strengthening the body! But speaking of this,
I have to say that sexual intercourse is beneficial in moderation, but excessive indulgence is ultimately harmful rather than beneficial, so I boldly ask the master to exercise restraint!"
Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "I understand, I am sensible!"
Yang Peng said goodbye to Wang Laozhi and returned to the palace. After eating something casually, he went to Yang Tong and Zhao Jinxi's place. Before going, Yang Peng took two pills of Gu Yuan. Throughout the night, Feifeng Nu, who was guarding the backyard,
The guards were all surprised to hear that the cooing sounds in Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Zhao's courtyard lasted the whole night!
The next morning, Yang Peng got up early. Although he had worked all night, he was still as energetic as a tiger and seemed to have no impact. However, Yang Tong and Zhao Jinxi were miserable and were still paralyzed on the bed.
, it was almost noon, so I got up lazily!
After Yang Peng had breakfast, he went to the Princess Mansion and stayed for most of the day before returning to the Prince's Mansion to handle official duties. Thinking of the current situation in the Liao Kingdom, he couldn't help but have an idea and came up with a plan. After thinking about it carefully, he felt
This strategy was very feasible, so he wanted to discuss it with Yelu Hanyu. He raised his head and shouted outside: "Come here!" Jiang Li, who was guarding the door, immediately ran in, clasped her fists and asked, "Master, what do you want?"
Order?"
"Go and invite Mrs. Yelu." Jiang Li responded and ran down. After a moment, she heard the sound of rings. She raised her head and saw the beautiful and proud Yelu Hanyu and the female guard captain Jiang Li coming in. "Big brother called,
Do we have anything important to discuss?" Yelu Hanyu asked.
Yang Peng signaled Yelu Hanyu to sit down. Yelu Hanyu sat down, and Jiang Li stood beside Yelu Hanyu. Yang Peng said the idea he had just thought of. Yelu Hanyu's eyes lit up, "This plan
Okay! Nowadays, there are many mutual suspicions and doubts in the Liao Kingdom. If we add this fire, we may have unexpected gains!" Then he looked at Yang Peng with a half-smile but not a smile, "Is it just that the eldest brother is willing to give up that Guanyin?"
Yang Peng chuckled and said: "Of course I'm reluctant to let go, but I think she will be fine. She is a princess with both wisdom and courage!"
Yelu Hanyu said jealously: "She is wise and brave, so what is the little sister?" "Haha, of course you are also wise and brave!" Yelu Hanyu smiled, and then asked: "So in the eyes of the eldest brother, who is she?
Is the younger sister stronger, or is the Guanyin on the other end better?"
Yang Peng said categorically without even thinking: "Of course the younger sister is stronger, does that need to be said?" Yelu Hanyu knew that his elder brother was mostly trying to coax him, but he couldn't help but be very happy and gentle when he heard what his elder brother said.
He glanced at Chen Xiao.
At this time, on the streets of Zhongjing, the army of Ye Qi Guanyin and the army of Brother Ye Qi Xiu had a fierce conflict. Thousands of soldiers from both sides actually fought on the streets, killing blood and corpses all over the streets.
The people of Quzhou all hid far away, and were horrified as they watched the killing.
Ye Qian Guanyin and Brother Ye Qianxiu led the guards to the scene almost at the same time. They were shocked when they saw the scene and shouted to stop. The fierce fighting gradually stopped. Brother Ye Qianxiu rushed to Ye Qian very angrily.
Qi Guanyin said: "I don't know where I offended the emperor's aunt. The emperor's aunt actually allowed her subordinates to attack my subordinates, killing and injuring so many people!"
Ye Qi Guanyin looked at the blood-soaked general who had just come to her, with a gloomy face. The general quickly said: "Your Majesty, we didn't attack them, they attacked us first!" After a pause, "A few people openly slandered your Majesty.
, we happened to hear it and were very angry, so we went to argue with them, but unexpectedly a large group of people suddenly rushed in and attacked us without saying a word! We were helpless and forced to fight back, but we did not expect the other party's troops.
They kept coming, but when the general saw that something was wrong, he sent out a distress signal. Soon after, our soldiers and horses also arrived, and the two sides started fighting on the street! It was really them who started the trouble in the first place!"
Ye Qi Guanyin looked at Brother Ye Qi Xiu, "Did you hear that?" Brother Ye Qi Xiu snorted, "How can you trust a one-sided statement?" Ye Qi Guanyin frowned, "The commander-in-chief said that my people are causing trouble.
?" "Of course." "How presumptuous!" Ye Qi Guanyin shouted. Brother Ye Qi Xiu couldn't help but feel startled, and his momentum was taken away. Ye Qi Guanyin said coldly: "You have a deeper understanding of the rights and wrongs of this matter than I do.
It’s clear! If you want to take the opportunity to make things worse, am I, Ye Qi Guanyin, still afraid of you?” Brother Ye Qi Xiu swallowed his saliva and couldn’t help but said: “I don’t dare!”
Ye Qi Guanyin's expression softened a bit, "Rumors are spreading everywhere now. I hope you can control your subordinates. If it really leads to a great chaos, it will not be a blessing to you and me, let alone the Liao Kingdom!" "Yes!" Ye Qi Guanyin
He glanced at the corpses on the ground and couldn't help but feel heartbroken, "This matter has been revealed. From now on, no one is allowed to avenge what happened today!"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
