Cry for Song

Chapter 160 The death of Ai Renzong

It's so late. What's wrong with Yelu Hongji? He was in such a hurry to summon the king. The king knew that Ou Luduo was the felt account of the emperor of Liao. Such a summoning should be a purely private meeting. Although he had a little good impression on Yelu Hongji today, such a strange behavior still made people suspicious.

Impeach Libo also felt that the matter was relatively sudden. He said to Wang, "I'll go with my brother."

The king waved his hand: "No, the Liao Emperor's private summons should be urgent matter. Besides, I am the messenger of the State of Song, and he will not harm." As he said, he tidied the fish intestine sword under his robe to deal with the unexpected. The king tidied up his clothes, and then walked out of the account. He followed the palace man of Liao, who came to the decree, and walked to the Luduo, where Yelu Hongji was located.

The king didn't know where Yelü Hongji's Luduo was. He followed the palace man through the tent with a bonfire in the gap. The guards of the camp were everywhere, and they closely observed the movement around them. In this kind of palace without a castle, every bodyguard was highly vigilant.

The palace man walked in front of him, looked back at the king and said, "In front of me is Uncle Huang's tent. After those seats, I will arrive. Wang Shilang, please follow me."

Just passed the tent of the emperor's uncle Ye Lv Zongyuan, and a few people came from the opposite side. A woman's voice came, and the drunken palace man asked, "Who is on the opposite side? You won't give way when you see this palace."

The woman's voice was very young, but her tone was very arrogant. The palace man and the king looked up at the beautiful woman through the bonfire beside them. The palace man hurriedly said, "The palace people don't know that Princess Yan is here. How offensive it is." He said that he was in a hurry to signal the king to give up the way,

The woman took her entourage to them and looked at the palace people disdainfully, and then at the king's side. Her eyes suddenly stopped on the king's face. The Khitan people were rough, powerful but rarely handsome. The king's side was masculine but beautiful. The woman, known as Princess Yan, couldn't help but look stunned. < /P>

She pointed to the king and asked the palace man, "Who is this man? Where are you taking him?"

The people of the palace hurriedly replied, "The emperor has a life, and he urgently invited Wang Shilang, the ambassador of the State of Song, to Ouluduo."

After listening, the woman looked up and down around the king and giggled, "I said why this man is so handsome. If it weren't for the messenger of the State of Song, I would have let you send him to me." With that, she looked at Wang with charming eyes and asked, "Wang Shilang, you have served as a waiter at such a young age, and you also came to Liao on behalf of the State of Song. How old are you this year? What relatives and friends do you have in the State of Song?"

Even if Wang knew that the Khitan woman was bold, he had never seen such a move. He looked at the woman in front of him. Her hair was combed and drooping, her forehead was cut flat, and the rest was cut with a delicate hair crown on her head, and the hair crown was slightly like the petal shape of a bodhisattva crown. The woman's facial features were very beautiful, but her expression was It's frivolous,

"This is." The king asked the palace people beside him,

The palace man quickly told the king, "This is the wife of the emperor, Princess Yan."

When Wang saw the behavior of Princess Yan, he didn't want to waste time with her and nonsense: "Thank you, Princess Yan for your praise. It's past the year of weakness. The State of Song has parents and wife. Now I'm going to see the emperor and ask Princess Yan to make way."

The palace man glanced at the king. Everyone knew that the princess of Yan had always been charming, and her behavior ** was famous. Seeing that the king was unmoved, he was really worried that the princess of Yan would lose her temper.

Princess Yan smiled and said, "Well, you go first. When you meet the emperor, how about I treat you to the special wine of Liao?" As she spoke, her body leaned over to the king, quietly stretched out her arm to pull the arm next to the king,

The king immediately thought of Liang Luoyao in Xixia. Liang Luoyao was also a woman, but she was more or less reserved. The princess of Yan didn't even know the reserve. The king opened her arm and said, "I'm not interested in wine. Princess Yan, please come back. Say goodbye." After saying that, they gave the palace people a look, and the two continued to walk to Ouluduo,

Princess Yan's voice came from behind him: "Bah, what is it?" The king pretended not to hear it, but heard another voice coming from the side. The tone was gentle and gentle: "Princess Yan, as a noble woman, can't be like this."

The king couldn't help but stop. Looking back, a few people came out from their side. Just now, when she came near the bonfire, Princess Yan hurriedly bowed her head and saluted, but her eyes peeked at the king's side.

The speaker looked at the king and smiled: "This messenger, the emperor is waiting in the tent. Please go to the tent as soon as possible." After saying that, he looked at Princess Yan and said, "It's cold outside. My sister, go back to Uncle Huang's account quickly."

Wang walked next to him and asked his fellow palace people, "Who is the one who just spoke?" He was curious about how there was such a steady and beautiful woman in Liao. The palace man replied, "After such a long delay, I didn't have time to let you salute. That's the queen Xiao, the small character Guanyin, is the daughter of the late Privy Xiao Hui."

When Wang heard it, he hummed softly and couldn't help thinking of the legend of "ten beautiful words". In the future, this gentle and skillful talented woman was framed and died in the life of Yelu Hongji, and his heart suddenly felt pity for the fragrance and jade.

Not far away, he came to the big tent of Yelu Hongji's living. After the palace people were connected, the king followed the palace people into the big tent. Yelu Hongji sat on the throne of the big tent. He closed his eyes and frowned. Hearing the sound of the king coming in, he opened his eyes and his eyes were red,

Seeing Wang's side coming in, Yelu Hongji stood up and took a few steps. He walked to the king's side and took the king's hand. His nose was sore and tears fell down.

This surprised the king a little. People say that men have tears, not to mention a big man like Yelu Hongji and the emperor of Liao. Is there any hidden feelings in it?

"Liaohuang, when did you make you so sad?" Wang asked in a hurry,

Yelü Hongji was sad. He choked and said, "I think of the State of Liao and the State of Song. I haven't seen a war for 42 years. When I went to the State of Song, Emperor Renzong treated me with courtesy. Now, he has abandoned the alliance of the two countries. I just received the express that Emperor Renzong of the State of Song died."

This was like a thunderbolt, which exploded on the head of the king. The king suddenly felt blank. He was stunned for a moment. He ignored the emperor of Liao. He stared and asked, "What are you talking about? Say it again."

Yelü Hongji shook his head. He advocated Han culture since he was a child. In his mind, Emperor Renzong was his idol. The Song Dynasty was peaceful and the border was harmonious. He was full of guilt and said in frustration, "The Emperor Renzong of the State of Song died, and even the Emperor Renzong of the State of Song died. What's the point of this world?"

"Your Majesty..." The king said these two words gently. His eyes were hot, and two lines of tears were left. This was the first time that the king had shed tears since he crossed into the Song Dynasty. His mind kept flashing. When he first saw Renzong, the kind emperor was half squinting his eyes. Looking at the Wenwu of the whole dynasty with a smile; the emperor who loved himself and was afraid of being like his teacher Di Qing, who was jealous and defended himself everywhere; the simple elder with white temples in the hanging hall and dressed in old clothes; the Renzong who loved all sentient beings and would rather maintain the peace of the people on the border,

The sound of sighing came from the big tent. Not only did Yelu Hongji burst into tears, but the palace attendants also shed tears. The king choked for a moment and didn't know where to start.

Yelü Hongji asked the king to sit next to him. He said with a sad face, "Tomorrow I will announce the funeral of the whole country and send someone to send Wang Shilang back to the State of Song as soon as possible."

The king knows that people can't be resurreated after death. There are several people in the world who can be like themselves. Moreover, this is also fate. Even the emperor can't escape. History will not stay because of the death of Renzong. What should continue has to continue.

He wiped his tears, and his voice was a little choked: "Thank you, Emperor Liao. I don't know what to say. It's rare for the Emperor Liao to miss my Lord's old love. After returning to the Song Kingdom, he will definitely try his best to persuade the new Lord to continue the Song and Liao friendship alliance." This is indeed the voice of the king, especially when he saw that Yelü Hongji was not hypocritical, but moved his true feelings,

Yelu Hongji sighed: "Is it the emperor of Renzong who knows me in the world? I knew that Renzong would send you here. Some time ago, Renzong also gave me a national letter, which stated that Wang Shilang went to Xixia to do his best to do business. I'm afraid that no one will understand what I do in this position in the future." It turned out to be the pain of whining,

When Wang saw that Yelu Hongji was more sad than he cried, he was willing to persuade him. At this moment, he was also sad. It's better to let him cry happily.

Yelü Hongji waved his hand to indicate that all the people in the account had left. The palace people and attendants saw the sadness of their emperor crying and wiped their tears and retreated out.

When Wang saw that Yelu Hongji had something to say to himself, he suppressed his sadness. He said to Yelu Hongji, "Liaohuang, take care of the dragon body..." He couldn't go on,

Yelu Hongji stopped crying: "Wang Shilang, today I will talk to you, the people of the State of Song. Only our brothers understand that it is not easy to keep the foundation of our ancestors to make the world peaceful. In the alliance of Tanyuan, some people scold the emperor of Renzong for being cowardly, but we know that countless iron riders in the sixteen states of Yanyun will step on it. Everything has been ruined. The annual gift of Emperor Renzong is just a form. How many people scolded my ancestors, and then further stepped on the Central Plains and looked at the small profits. The two generations were under such pressure, all looking at the dawn of life!"

Yelü Hongji's words are like hitting a heavy hammer in the heart of the king. If he is not in his position, he does not know his joys and sorrows. At this moment, the king understands why Yelu Hongji is so sad. It is difficult to find the great confidant in the world. A scholar dies for a confidant, and he would rather endure the curse. This Yelu Hongji is really not like the story of the king. Yelu Hongji, doesn't he know that he is going to be in danger? Doesn't he know that the outside world's evaluation of him like that? Doesn't he know that his respected uncle is going to rebel?
