The rise of the prince

Chapter 847 Another Big Marriage + Yelu Dashi's Thoughts

Li Xingzhou gently stroked Pu Chaling's black hair, put his arms around her slender waist with one hand, and gently stroked her belly with the other.

At this time, it is still flat and flat, without any signs, but it already has its own blood in it.

After having a child, Pu Chaling is also much more docile.

"Is Kaiyuan still used to it?" Li Xingzhou asked.

Pu Chaling leaned against him and nodded, with a faint blush on her face, the charcoal fire in the brazier inside the house was red, the cold was still pervasive at the beginning of the year, and the snow in the north had not completely dissipated.

"Bring your younger sisters to live in the mansion, and take care of you at the same time. They are more experienced." Li Xingzhou said: "I will go out for a while next month."

He didn't have to worry about He Qian's side, as soon as the news spread, the He family had already sent someone here in a hurry.

He Zhao is a political adviser, and the future is promising. He Qian's status is there, and there are many people who take care of him, so he will definitely not be wronged.

Pu Chaling left his hometown and had no one to rely on in the capital. He might be neglected if he was not at home, so Li Xingzhou thought of calling her sisters to take care of her.

At the same time, I also recruited a few more shrewd and capable maids from the mansion to transfer to this yard. Originally, the poetry and language had been carefully arranged, but it couldn't be the same when she was pregnant.

"Also, you write a family letter to your father and tell him that you are pregnant. You have to tell your family about such important matters, otherwise I don't feel at ease." Li Xingzhou said.

In fact, he wanted to use this to remind Pu Chayi that your daughter has not been pregnant for several years as the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, but she has become pregnant in the past few months since she came to me. It is very likely that the King of the Jin Kingdom is perfunctory and contradicting your family.

Of course, the words will not be stated clearly, and Pu Chayi does not know whether he understands it or not. Things have to be done.

Of course, Li Xingzhou hoped that Pu Chayi would betray the Kingdom of Jin. The two capable people in the Kingdom of Jin, Liu Xu and Pu Chayi, would be happy no matter which one they lost.

However, in Pu Chaling's view, it has another meaning. After hearing this, his tenderness was instantly like water, and his eyes were clouded with mist: "Thank you, Your Highness, since I got married, no one has cared so much. pass me."

"Thank you, one family doesn't talk about two families, who told me to be in love with each other." Li Xingzhou patted her buttocks, "When I come back from Sichuan this time, the Ming matchmaker is marrying you. Yelu Yali is the princess of Liao Kingdom , she came to the capital a few years earlier, who made you come late, you can only be ranked behind her."

Pu Chaling pouted, "Will she hate me? After all, Liao Kingdom was destroyed by Jin Kingdom."

"I don't know, someday you will go and ask her yourself." Li Xingzhou teased.

Pu Chaling patted him aggrieved, "I don't have the nerve to go, you just bully me."

Li Xingzhou smirked: "Which time did I call the two of you into the same room and sleep together, you two talk slowly."

Pu Chaling blushed even more, lowered her head and pinched him lightly, her voice was as soft as a mosquito: "No."

"If I can't hear you, I'll take it as your acquiescence, hehe." He smirked, and Pu Chaling pinched him in shame, and he avoided it again and again. In the end, Pu Chaling was out of breath and sat in his arms exhausted.

Li Xingzhou pulled her into his arms while panting, "You don't have to feel any pressure, I personally value both boys and girls equally, you don't have to be afraid of anything when I'm here, maybe I can take your father over in the future .

If there is anything, if there is anything you need to talk to Shiyu, you know, the person who will pick you up to live in. "

Pu Chaling nodded: "I know, Sister Shiyu treats me very well, she is a good person and talented, I heard from people in the mansion that she is in charge of everything inside and outside the palace."

"Poetry is the backbone of the mansion. She treats people well, and you have to listen to her in everything, understand." Li Xingzhou said, Pu Chaling is capable and able to please him, and she is beautiful, but he still takes priority It is clear.

In any case, no one in the family could threaten the status of Dao Shiyu, otherwise it would be a way to cause chaos.

Pu Chaling understood and nodded repeatedly.

In fact, the girls in the mansion are not stupid, except for He Qian who doesn't care about it. Everyone else understands that poetry is the main thing, and Gillian voluntarily gives up the power to poetry. She prefers a poetic life. In terms of management No talent, no likes.

Qifang, who was the most irritating, lived in the mansion, and usually liked to bicker with poetry, but when it was critical, he also listened to poetry.

In fact, everyone has reached a tacit agreement subtly.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, Li Xingzhou got married again. This time the wedding was not in the palace, but in the palace. In addition to entertaining relatives, friends, civil and military officials, the most important thing was envoys from all over the world to watch the ceremony.

Li Xingzhou married Yelu Yali, the princess of the Liao Kingdom. The political significance of this wedding is very obvious. Letting the envoys from all over the world watch the ceremony is to tell the people all over the world that Zhengshuo of the Liao Kingdom has been merged into the Jing Kingdom.

The envoys from various countries in the audience were all appalled. In just a few years, Jingguo seemed to be returning to its former glory as the country of the Central Plains. Of course they were afraid.

In fact, the Han Dynasty had the largest number of affiliated states in history, but the Han Dynasty was also the dynasty that treated foreign countries most brutally or bloodily.

Of course they would be afraid if Jing Guo wanted to restore the status and actions of the Han Dynasty.

For example, Huo Qubing accepted the surrender of the Huns, but there was a change in the middle. He rushed in to separate the King of the Huns from his subordinates, and then executed more than 8000 people who had the intention of fleeing.

Wei Qing made the Huns run around, but it was difficult to fight annihilation on the grasslands, so the Huns fled. The cattle, sheep, women, children, and servants where they gathered were all looted and returned to the Han Dynasty, and everything that could not be taken away was burned. , Those who could not walk were executed on the spot, so as not to let the Huns breathe.

In the future, the envoys of the Han Dynasty dealt with foreign disputes even more outrageously.

Some foreign countries robbed the caravan of the Han Dynasty, and the envoys went directly into the king's tent and cut the king down.Then he turned his head and said to the civil, military and army below who were about to move, "The Han army is coming, don't move, or the country will be destroyed if you move."

As a result, no one dared to move below, and the turmoil calmed down.It shows how terrible the prestige of the Han army was at that time, and the prestige was all killed!
Several soldiers of the Han Dynasty were escorting the king of other countries in the Western Regions. On the way, they were afraid that they would run away while they were sleeping.

And even at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many worries in the country, and the Empire State Building was crumbling, but the Han army still chased the foreign troops in the northwest to fight. Except for a few surrendered, they were almost beaten to extermination.Even if the world fell apart, Cao Cao would fight with the domestic princes, and at the same time take time to deal with the foreigners in the north, and fight them submissively.

Therefore, the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the period with the most vassal states in all dynasties in China. It was not the vassal state bought with money and benefits in some later dynasties, and it jumped back if there was a slight chance, but the one that was really scared of being beaten.

The later Tang Dynasty also used troops abroad, but its attitude was actually much softer than that of the Han Dynasty, so if the Tang Dynasty was strong and open, then the Han Dynasty would be iron-blooded and powerful.

But now these envoys are worried that Jing Guo is following the old road of strong Han in the past, destroying Liao and cutting Jin, and not only ceding land and giving up the city to Jin, cutting off the title of emperor, submitting and paying tribute, what's more, it is absolutely unreasonable. The merciless humiliation directly robbed the queen.

Moreover, according to rumors, Li Xingzhou executed tens of thousands of prisoners of war in Zhongxing Mansion. The blood flowed like a river, the heads were piled up as high as the city wall, and the water level of the moat outside the city was swollen.

All kinds of actions are too similar to those of the Han Dynasty, and it is inevitable that my heart beats and my hands tremble, and I feel a little uneasy.

They all rushed forward to congratulate and present treasures, hoping to make a good impression in front of Li Xingzhou, the murderous god, so that they might save their lives in the future.

The emperor was very happy. Looking at the trembling messengers, he felt that today's goal had been achieved.

Li Xingzhou didn't say anything when he saw this, he would not be able to return to the old ways of the Han Dynasty, it would be too difficult, and it would take the accumulation of several generations of monarchs.

The Han Dynasty was able to have such prestige, luck is also one aspect.

Liu Bang, Empress Lv, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, and Emperor Wu, the successive rulers of the Han Dynasty, all of them were powerful figures, and the accumulation, development and inheritance of generations created the prestige of a strong Han at its peak.

As a result, later generations sighed that "the country will perish with the weak, but the Han will perish with the strong".

The probability of this is too low. Many dynasties, not to mention producing so many capable people, even if they do not seek greatness for three consecutive generations, it is difficult to succeed as long as they do not pull their hips.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty also achieved a three-generation relay. Li Shimin, Li Zhi, and Wu Zetian, the three generations are all considered good, and it is also a process of cumulative development and inheritance.

Other than that there is very little.

Li Xingzhou only has one life, and it is almost impossible in his life to achieve the prestige of the Han Dynasty.

Below is only Liao King Yelu Dashi, whose expression is both gratified and lonely, which seems very complicated.

Li Xingzhou could probably guess a little. The last princess of the Liao Kingdom married into the Jing Kingdom, which was almost equivalent to telling the world that Liao Guozuo was merged into the Jing Kingdom. From then on, Daliao really disappeared.

In this way, most of Yelu Dashi's thoughts have been cut off, and he is probably relieved that Yelu Yali finally has a home, and he will no longer be ruined and homeless.

At the banquet, Li Xingzhou specially went to toast Yelu Dashi with a glass of wine. He nodded and accepted it with pleasure.

Yelu Dashi is like a legend. Although he is from the Khitan royal family, he should not be complacent about his status and not enterprising.

He once took the double-subject Jinshi examination. The Liao Kingdom followed the example of the Central Plains and established an imperial examination, but there were separate examinations, one in Khitan and the other in Chinese.

Yelu Dashi passed both the Khitan imperial examination and the Chinese Chinese imperial examination, proficient in both.

But he is not only educated, but also handy in fighting, with a handsome demeanor. He once defeated the 3+ army of the Song Dynasty with 10,000 or [-] people on the southern battlefield.

Then he ran to Central Asia and defeated the tribes of Central Asia one after another, defeated the Seljuk Kingdom, the number one overlord in Central Asia at that time, established Xiliao, and became the overlord of Central Asia.

In the past, Li Xingzhou knew that he was a talent, and he was proficient in Chinese and Chinese culture, so he wanted to use him, but he was still not at ease, because he was capable, but he also had the ambition to restore the country.

Now that Yelu Yali has passed through the door, his mood has changed, and the situation has changed. Li Xingzhou feels that he can try to use Yelu Dashi. He is still in his prime at this time. It is a pity to let such a fierce man start to retire.

That night, Li Xingzhou saw the delicate flowers of Yelu Yali, and then picked them. Yelu Yali was very devoted and cooperated with him, as if wishing to rub himself into his body, he felt that kind of dependence.

The next day, Li Xingzhou felt that he should take preventive measures and started soaking some goji berries.

Yelu Yali was still asleep, she was too tired from riding a horse last night.

On the tenth day of the lunar new year, Li Xingzhou invited Di Zhi and Liu Ji, took Yelu Yali with him, and went to visit the Liao Palace.

When Yelu Dashi saw that he had brought Di Zhi, the commander of the navy of the new army, and Liu Ji, the commander of the army, he knew that it was fake for him to bring Yelu Yali home to visit relatives, and it was true to invite him out of the mountain.

But this time Yelu Dashi did not refuse.

After everyone sat down, Yelu Dashi said straight to the point: "I seem to be beginning to understand what 'we are destined to belong to'.

I have also read the "Xunzi" highly praised by His Highness. The way of heaven is for itself, so a gentleman is self-improving. "

"Are you willing to help me?" Li Xingzhou asked directly.

"Actually, there have been two things in my heart before, so it doesn't matter if I tell His Highness the truth today." Yelu Dashi said calmly: "One of the Liao Guozuo is hard to let go, I am Taizu (Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji) VIII Sun, the death of the Liao Kingdom is still in my hands, and it is still difficult to meet the ancestors.

The second is fear. Yali and I are rootless duckweeds, scattered in Jingguo, and have no foundation behind us. If the leader is away, what if someone falsely accuses me of treason against the emperor in the court?I'm an outsider, so I can't argue with a thousand words. There are nine out of ten chances that I won't even argue, so I can't serve His Highness. I can only stay in the capital honestly, at the feet of the emperor, so that people can feel at ease.

Otherwise, it will not only be me who will die, but the poor child Yali will also be implicated. She has suffered enough.

Now that Yali is married into your family, she has a good home, and I am relieved that you can protect her. I can serve Your Highness without any worries. "

Li Xingzhou nodded, "If you are willing to serve, I will be happy, and I can keep you rich and safe."

Yelu Dashi said: "I have a request. In the future, among the children of you and Yali, can one child be named Yelu to continue the blood of Yelu's family."

Hearing this, Yelu Yali's eyes turned red, and Di Zhi was a little moved.

Li Xingzhou smiled and shook his head, "No, don't pretend, everyone is smart, if you want the descendants of the Yelu family, you have to give birth.

If you want a daughter-in-law, I can recommend you a bunch of beautiful widows in the capital. You are still in your prime, and it is not a problem to have seven or eight children. "

Yelu Dashi also smiled wryly, and then said: "Your Highness is really astute, I will definitely not mention this matter in the future."

Li Xingzhou is not a fool, the prince with the surname Yelu?That's okay, it's completely a political hidden danger.This Yelu Dashi just let it go, but he was thinking about it, and wanted to give Yelu a chance, even if the chance was extremely slim, what if?
If the prince of the Yelu family were to sit on the throne in the future, he would save the country in a curve, and restore the country of Daliao in another way.

Li Xingzhou would not let him do this, nor would he be dizzy and sympathetic by a few casual words of affection.

Doing so is not only a political hidden danger, but may also lead to infighting in the court in the future.

Yelu Dashi saw that using the emotional card would not work, so he completely gave up struggling and talked honestly about the business.

"After Shangyuan, Zhe Weizhong will leave the capital and go back to Fuzhou. I want Di Zhi and Yelu Dashi to go north with him, as envoys of Jingguo, to go to the northwest to see the situation of Xiaguo, and actually to see the surrounding situation. , road traffic, find out the details, plan a battle plan in your heart to take Xia Guo, and come back and tell me."
