Han Shizu

Chapter 34 Chongyuan Palace
Bian Palace was very fortunate that it was not destroyed in the fire of war under the raging of the Hulu iron cavalry, and was completely taken over by the Khitans.It was also a little unfortunate that the palaces of the Central Plains, Qionglou Yuyu, carved beams and painted buildings, together with the beauties and palace maids raised in them, all became the spoils of the Liao Lord for his entertainment.

In the Chongyuan Hall, Yingge Yanwu, good news Mi Mi, the fragrance of fat powder permeates all around, which is intoxicating.The scene here is much warmer and more ambiguous than that of Prince Yan's mansion, and the woman's aptitude is obviously better than that of the dancers in Prince Yan's mansion.Shi Zhonggui spent a lot of energy to collect the beautiful women, and the country broke, all for Yelu Deguang to enjoy.

On the throne, a burly, valiant-looking middle-aged man sat astride, with a thick beard and long beard, with a beard in a bun, but wearing a Hanfu dragon robe, which looked nondescript.This person is naturally the first emperor of the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Deguang.

Holding a wine glass in his hand, he took a sip from time to time, admiring the beauty in the temple with a face full of (obscene) light, a look of reluctance.At this time, Yelu Deguang didn't look like a wise and martial monarch at all, and the flowers and mountains of the Central Plains really made him indulge in it.Since entering the Bian Palace, Yelu Deguang has been a small feast for three days and a large feast for five days. Even if he has noticed that the mountains and rivers in the Central Plains are not easy to sit, there is still not much change.

On the top of the imperial case, there are a bunch of papers randomly placed, there are bad news reported by various places, and there are advices from ministers, but Yelu Deguang doesn't seem to care too much.

Beneath Dan Chi, there are also some table plans, which are full of delicious delicacies, and some Hu Han Wen Wu, accompanied by the side.Compared with the wanton exuberance of the generals, several civil officials appeared much gloomier.However, one of the senior officials, Cang Ran, had a very calm expression on his face.

He was very old, his beard was gray, and there was a sense of "prudence" all over his body. He sat there quietly, unlike other civil servants who were unhappy about the singing and dancing in the hall. Mouth stops.

This old man was named Feng Dao. He was a famous official tumbler in the Five Dynasties. He served in the Tang and Jin Dynasties. He must live in three princes in each generation.Counting down, starting from Tang Zhuangzong Li Cunxu, and counting Yelu Deguang, Feng Dao has served three dynasties and seven princes.The emperor took turns to sit, and he, the prime minister, didn't seem to move much.
"Xianggong, the people in the world are already full of emotions, but in this palace city, there are songs and dances every day, and songs every night. The Lord of Liao still wants to have the Central Plains for a long time. Isn't that a fool's dream?" Beside him, the Privy Councillor Li Song shook his head slightly and sighed. He took a sigh of relief, lowered his voice to a very low level, and complained, his tone was already disrespectful.

Regardless of Feng Dao's age, his ears were still sensitive. Although there was a lot of buzz in the hall, he clearly understood what Li Song said.Lifting his eyelids, he glanced at Yelu Deguang, who was already sitting in his arms, and only whispered back: "Li Gong Shenyan!"

After that, his face was as usual, and the general Hu in the courtroom was also right with his face.Seeing Feng Dao's indifferent attitude, Li Song immediately swallowed the remaining words in his throat. In terms of qi raising skills, there is still a gap between him and Feng Dao.

Although Feng Dao and Li Song, the late prime ministers and prime ministers, were treated favorably by Yelu Deguang, they were still the targets of the Fanhu generals and officials.In Xinliao, they belong to each other, and they can only hug each other for warmth and comfort each other on weekdays.

Like the two of them, the former prime ministers were wealthy, and under Yelu Deguang's order to include money, they were also deprived of a lot of money.In fact, among all the generals and officials of the Later Jin Dynasty who surrendered to the Liao Dynasty, only Du Chongwei and Li Shouzhen were not forced to donate, and they were exempted by Yelu Deguang's special edict, and none of the others were spared.

Up to now, Yelu Deguang has not only lost the hearts of the people, but even these ministers of the Later Jin who have already surrendered are also detached and resentful.As for the Hanchen in this hall, apart from Zhang Li, who has been in the Khitan for many years, I am afraid that there is no one who does not harbor ghosts.

Feng Dao's eyes were dim, and he looked harmless to humans and animals, but when he heard the ecstasy in the hall, his heart was not as calm as it appeared.

As the Zaifu of the tired dynasty, even Yelu Deguang admired his reputation and made him a guest, which is not something ordinary people can do.Being wise and protecting oneself is just a performance, and his intelligence, ability and insight are the real foundation of his existence.

Feng Dao is already over sixty years old. In this troubled time, he has gone through the sea of ​​​​official affairs and has not fallen. He has long been insightful in world affairs.With its far-reaching vision, it is natural to see that the Khitan's tyranny is becoming more and more violent, and the country is boiling, but the Liao Lord has no intention to change his course, and there must be no China for a long time.

At the same time, looking at Yelu Deguang's attitude in these days, I'm afraid I don't have the intention to keep it for a long time.Yu Guang swept to Yelu Deguang who was teasing with the beauty on the throne, Feng Dao's mind couldn't help but his old eyes narrowed.

An old fox like this will not think about the way back.Without worrying about his life, he is only afraid of being controlled by the Khitan. He is almost certain that if the Khitan is returned to the North, they will not let them go to the Jin State.
He has been thinking about the way to escape for some time, but he is a little helpless after thinking about it.After all, they are only literati, and they have no soldiers or generals. Under the eyes of generals Hu Bingfan, how could it be so easy.

"I don't know, will Duke Liu succeed? It should be possible."

While Feng Dao was thinking silently, an eunuch walked into the hall with small steps, and when he reached the imperial front, he lowered his eyebrows and said to Yelu Deguang, "Your Majesty, King Yan is here!"

"Oh, King Yan is here?" Yelu Deguang removed the hand that was stroking the jade buttocks, let go of the concubine Biangong who let him play, and said angrily, "Please come to the palace!"

Not long after, Zhao Yanshou stepped into the hall, and all the lovely ladies had a panoramic view, restraining the urge to look more, his face was ruddy, but it was hard to hide his drunkenness.In front of Yelu Deguang, Zhao Yanshou did not dare to show his grievance in private, so he respectfully bowed to the ground.

"King Yan is exempt from the ceremony! Come here and have a few drinks with me!" Yelu Deguang glanced at Zhao Yanshou, his face flushed with kindness, and he greeted: "Come here, give me a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The imperial case gave food to the throne, at least on the surface, Yelu Deguang still favored Zhao Yanshou.After drinking a few cups with Yelu Deguang, Zhao Yanshou looked at it boldly and asked, "I heard your Majesty's urgent summons and rushed into the palace. I don't know what your Majesty called the ministers, so what?"

Zhao Yanshouzhi asked, a little rude, but Yelu Deguang seemed very generous, waved his hand, and stopped dancing.The hall fell silent, and the attendants, Wen Wu, could not help but look over.

With a soft sound, Yelu Deguang put down his wine glass and said to Zhao Yanshou: "The former rebel general in Shanzhou killed my messenger and rejected my goodwill. The meaning of advance. Liu Zhiyuan, the fake emperor of Hedong, has also made a move. He sent troops south to Luzhou, and Geng Chongmei may not be able to resist."

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Hearing Yelu Deguang say this, Zhao Yanshou felt a little excited in his heart.Could it be that he deliberately let him lead the troops to refuse?Looking at Yelu Deguang with some anticipation, Zhao Yanshou has even made a plan. Once he is in power again, he will never let go easily.
As if he could see Zhao Yanshou's thoughts, Yelu Deguang's face was slightly restrained, and he said playfully: "We have dispatched three routes to the enemy in Hedong, but I still have some mistakes. Next, I will We must fight against Liu Zhiyuan with all our strength, and we cannot afford to take care of the dry night in Guanzhong."

Hearing that, Zhao Yanshou was about to take the initiative to ask for his life, so he heard Yelu Deguang's voice change: "I heard that Yuan Fu, the son of King Yan, is very smart and has been by King Yan's side for many years. In the Imperial Pass, and assist in the defense of Heyang."

"This" Zhao Yanshou was stunned for a moment, looking at Yelu Deguang: "The dog is young, so I'm afraid he can't take on the heavy responsibility."

Zhao Yanshou's son Zhao Kuangzan, courtesy name Yuanfu, was in his twenties.Zhao Yanshou would definitely kowtow to thank his son if he were to teach his son to be disciplined on weekdays.But now, Zhao Yanshou knew in his heart that the land in the river would not be peaceful.If Hedong's army goes south, he will go that way if he is not sure, he will not let his son take the risk.

But Yelu Deguang waved his hand: "Yuanfu is a young hero who can do things. I heard that the general who commanded the army in Luzhou southeast of the river is the son of Liu Zhiyuan, who is only 17 years old. Yuanfu is not inferior to him." so childish"

Zhao Yanshou still had the heart to refuse, but in the face of Yelu Deguang's gradually turning cold eyes, he opened his mouth and responded with aggrieved heart: "Thank you, sir."

"Very good!" Yelu Deguang laughed: "Come on, I'll give King Yan a cup!"

The dance started again and the music played again, but Zhao Yanshou's mood became even more annoyed. He deeply realized once again that he didn't seem to have such a great use value for Yelu Deguang.Sweeping towards the Han ministers in the hall, he muttered to himself, like an out of favor dog.
