Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Five The Demons Danced and Disasters Went to Beijing
What kind of person could a person from Song Dynasty do in Khitan?
Just look at the envoys of the Song Dynasty and you will know that they have only been in Shangjing for half a month. Gao Bing, Qin Hui, and Bai Shizhong made friends with ten notorious dandies from the Yelu clan and the Xiao family. They formed what is known as the Thirteen Eagles of Shangjing.
There are constant banquets every day.
Gao Bing was originally a playful master. He gained some military exploits from the northwest, was directly promoted three levels and was transferred to Shangjing, where he became one of the permanent envoys of the Song Dynasty stationed in Khitan.
Now that Yang Lin provided unlimited money, he was free to spend money. This kid almost spent his money in all the entertainment venues in Beijing.
It is no exaggeration to say that because of Gao Bing alone, the business level of Khitan's prostitutes in Beijing has improved over the past few decades.
Although Bai Shizhong is not as good at playing as Gao Bian, he can talk. This kid talks about people and ghosts, coaxing a group of Khitan nobles who are not very bright, as if they are in the clouds.
All joking aside, in history, in a dozen years, Bai Shizhong would become the only person in the Northern Song Dynasty who became prime minister through flattery.
Bai Shizhong can tell at a glance what you want to hear and what makes you happy. He delivers words to your heart and lifts you to the clouds. Who doesn't like this kind of friend?
Qin Hui followed the two eldest brothers and enjoyed a wealth and romance that he had never imagined in the first half of his life. He also helped a lot. This boy was very clever and capable, and he was also a good friend of Yang Lin. Gao Bing was so happy every time
Take him with you.
Yu Wenxuzhong, on the other hand, devoted himself to researching and studying the current officialdom of Khitan, specifically analyzing which people should be the focus of friendship, and then gave instructions to the three people to hook up.
After the last battle, Yelu Yanxi no longer had any hope of defeating the Jurchens. She often told those around her that if she could escape to the Song Dynasty, she could still enjoy wealth and wealth.
In the original time and space, at this moment, he made shocking words about fleeing to the Song Dynasty or Xixia, successfully crushing the determination and will of the Khitans in one fell swoop.
It is really rare that Zhao Ji and Yelu Yanxi appear at the same time as the two most powerful countries in the world.
Now that there is no Xixia, Yelu Yanxi's only retreat is the Song Dynasty, so he pays more attention to these envoys.
With the emperor's connivance, Gao Bing, Bai Shizhong, and Qin Hui were even happier than they were in Bianliang.
It's funny to say that when the Khitan was on the verge of collapse, the Khitan nobles in the capital became even more corrupt.
Ma Kuo devoted himself to helping Yelu Yanxi resist the Jurchens, and gained the recognition of the few remaining ambitious people in the Khitan Dynasty.
Thanks to their efforts, Emperor Tianzuo conferred the title of King Yelu Chunjin of Wei on the title of King of Qin and Jin Dynasty and the marshal of the capital. Xiao Wuna, who stayed in Beijing, was appointed as the Khitan palace commander and deputy marshal.
In terms of the Privy Council, in addition to promoting Yelu Dabeinu, Xiao Chala was appointed as Tongzhi Privy Council Envoy, Wu Yong, the Prime Minister of the South, Wu Yong in power, Ma Renwang, the Privy Councilor of the South Council, Chai Yi, the Privy Council Scholar, and others were appointed to participate in national affairs.
Let King Yelu Chun of Yan recruit hungry people in Liaodong and establish a "resentful army" of about 28,000 people, with the intention of continuing to fight against the Jurchens.
At this time, Wanyan Aguda had no intention of continuing to attack the Khitan, and sent people to go to Beijing for peace talks with the Khitan. Instead, he turned back to clean up the Bohai Kingdom at his rear. The pressure on the Khitan suddenly eased, but everyone knew that the end was coming.
Will come again.
Xiao Fengxian took a look and found that Emperor Tianzuo promoted so many old ministers in succession, and most of his power was divided. He had to admire Xiao Fengxian for being a traitor. At this time, he still wanted to fight for power and profit, and ordered his men to make up songs in the capital:
"The five old men are four hundred years old. They are dozing off from the south to the north. They can't control their own spirits. How are they in the mood to kill the Jurchens?"
When the news reached the ears of Emperor Tianzuo, Emperor Tianzuo laughed at first. After laughing, he felt uncomfortable. Faced with the unequal treaty thrown by Aguda, the five old men had no time to care for themselves, so what could they do to resist? So they began to consider deposing this man. Five old men.
Soon, Xiao Fengxian resumed his position as the privy envoy of the North Academy. Xiao Chala was transferred to stay in Xijing. Wu Yong, Ma Renwang, and Chai Yi were deposed successively and replaced by Li Chuwen and Zuo Qigong. Since then, the military affairs of the Liao Dynasty Once again, it was in Xiao Fengxian's hands.
Ma Kuo was so angry that he almost vomited blood, beat his chest and cursed that the Khitan deserved to perish, but Yu Wenxu made him laugh.
"Zichong, Zichong, you sent us here as your mentor. Are you really here to rescue the Khitans? We don't have the ability, and we shouldn't act like this. Hey, what if Xiao Feng resets first? Several of his confidants have long been killed by me. It’s bought off.”
Ma Kuo looked lonely and said: "No wonder my mentor asked me to obey you. It seems that his old man has already predicted this result."
While the demons were dancing wildly in the capital city, midsummer in Bianliang came quietly.
The cicadas are chirping, the trees are shady, and when the wind blows, the air is filled with cotton-like willow catkins.
The pavilion in the center of the lake is surrounded by gauze curtains, tied with golden mustard ropes, and ice cubes for cooling off are placed underneath.
Yang Lin was wearing a close-fitting and comfortable show shirt, with his chest slightly open. He lazily took off his boots and lay half on a wicker chair with his legs crossed.
Li Yunniang and Li Ning'er sat on the left and right, peeling lychees and feeding them to Yang Lin's mouth, while talking about the wedding.
Yang Lin originally did not plan to have a grand wedding, but Empress Zheng sent people to bring many gifts.
Empress Zheng comes from a small family. Although she is now a queen, she still feels inferior because of her family background. After all, the Zheng family does not have any relatives who can do anything, so the master of the harem, who has a mother who respects the world, often feels sorry for herself because of this.
Now that I finally have a powerful brother-in-law, I have to publicize it vigorously to let people know that I have someone to rely on in the outer court.
As a result, Yang Lin could no longer keep a low profile, but he frowned and asked, "You still can't contact my dad?"
When she mentioned this, Yun Niang frowned and sighed: "I don't know where the master went. He only brought dozens of villagers with him. People in the house said that the master never had a destination when he traveled, and it was all on a whim." Just messing around.
In a few days, Mrs. Miao Lian will give birth, so Master, he should be back soon."
Yang Lin nodded helplessly, wondering if he should marry Xu Yuenu first.
Although she was just a concubine, he could not wrong her. If he had known how much dowry Xu Jin had prepared for his daughter, he would not have thought of marrying her into the family together.
Although Empress Zheng spent a lot of money to prepare for her father to be as decent as possible for the sake of face.
But they knew nothing about the financial resources of Xujiazhuang, the local tycoon in Mizhou and the largest smuggler between Korea, Japan and Shandong.
At this time, Xu Saiyue ran over with her clothes in hand and said through the curtain: "Da Lang, some guests are coming outside. They say they are Da Lang's students, brothers from the Yao family of Jingzhao Mansion."
Yang Lin stood up and said, "Just two brothers here? Are there anyone else?"
Xu Saiyue looked cute and cute, shook her head and said: "There are only two people here."
Yang Lin's face fell, and he stood up and said: "What a pity, what a pity. Let's go and have a look in the front yard."
The two Yao brothers behaved well in the flower hall of Zhaodefang and did not dare to look around. They were not as cool as they were in Jingzhao Mansion.
The servants of the house came up with tea trays, and both of them thanked them profusely. It seemed that they had received instructions from their elders at home, so they were allowed to bow.
After Yang Lin came in, the two of them stood up together and stepped forward to salute.
"I met my mentor."
Putting aside the charming and charming little widow, Yang Lin was also very satisfied with the two students, especially Yao Pingzhong, who was very satisfied with his temperament.
To be able to get the title of Little Lieutenant in the northwest land where there are many fierce men and make everyone admire Qin Long's heroes, especially at this age is really extraordinary.
Yang Lin smiled and said: "You have come all the way. It's hard work, but have you found a place to stay?"
Yao Pingzhong smiled and said: "Our third brother has a house in Bianjing, and now we and our aunt live there."
With a thump in his heart, Yang Lin pricked up his ears and asked, "Haha, Mrs. Yao is here too?"
"Thanks to the respect of my mentor, he accepted my brothers as his disciples, and everyone in the Yao family was very happy. After a few days, the ceremony of binding was performed, and the elders of the Yao family could not help but come to the door to express their thanks."
If such a piece of beautiful meat enters Bianliang City, it is equivalent to entering my mouth, Yang Lin, and it cannot escape now.
Thinking about the stunning Zheng Yunyao and Xu Yuenu's incredible figure, it seems that Ruan Xiaoqi's sea dog whip will have to be eaten again.
Yang Lin's face was like a spring breeze, sweeping away the gloom, and he waved his hand and said: "Now that you have entered the Yang Clan and become my disciple, you will live in the outer courtyard of Zhaodefang, study with me and understand the principles together with your senior brothers.
Originally, I just need to inform you about this, but since the elders in the family have arrived, I have to go and talk about it, so as not to worry them."
