Monument Yangmen

Chapter 906 Who is ruthless?
"But I didn't expect that she had completely turned into a politician. In order to achieve her goal, she did not hesitate to use her son as a stepping stone. But she left your sister behind."

Yang Qi laughed mockingly and said: "She thought that I would be moved by her son because of the blood of the Yang family. But she didn't know that in my heart, your status is far higher than that of his son. important."

"Hahaha……"

Yang Qi laughed at himself, "Everyone thinks that I value friendship, and everyone thinks that I will accept Yang Hun. But they don't know that my friendship is not so cheap.

By blood, Yang Hun is my nephew.

But what about the soul? "

Soul, a familiar word, has different meanings.

Everyone knows that he is Yang Fu Qilang, now His Majesty the Emperor of Yan.

But who knows who he was before that?

Everyone cares about the feelings of Qilang of the Yang family, and the feelings of His Majesty the Emperor of Yan.

But who cared, before that, how that person named Yang Xi felt?

Yang Qi caressed Princess Haijing's tombstone, and said mockingly, "I owe you, but I don't owe him."

No one can understand Yang Qi's thoughts.

Even Peng Pai and Zamahe Aoki who were waiting by the side didn't understand.

Although they followed Yang Qi to this place more than once or twice, and they also heard Yang Qi say a lot of things they didn't understand, but they really didn't understand Yang Qi's thoughts.

Some thoughts, Yang Qi can't tell anyone, he can only talk to Hai Jing's ghost.

He hoped in his heart that Hai Jing's ghost could see all his experiences and understand what he said.

Just then, there was some commotion at the foot of the mountain.

Peng Pai hurried to the middle of the mountain, and after learning about the situation, he returned to the cemetery and reported to Yang Qi, "Your Majesty, Yelu Tiejing brought Yang Hun to the foot of the mountain and was stopped by the Shenji Guard."

Yang Qi stood up, patted Princess Haijing's tombstone, and whispered, "I'll see you again in a few days."

After bidding farewell to Princess Haijing's cemetery, Yang Qi walked down the mountain slowly followed by Peng Pai and the other two.

at the foot of the mountain.

The guards of Shenjiwei held up their muskets and stopped the Queen Mother Tie Jing and her party outside.

Empress Tie Jing yelled with a livid face, "Get out of the way, I want to see my sister."

The guards of Shenjiwei were unmoved.

They are the guards around Yang Qi, protecting Yang Qi's safety, anyone who tries to get close to Yang Qi will be beaten into a sieve by them before receiving further orders.

When Yang Qi's figure appeared at the foot of the mountain, Queen Mother Tie Jing stopped scolding.

She pulled Yang Hun to salute Yang Qi.

"Empress Dowager Yelu Tiejing of the Liao Kingdom, please refer to His Majesty the Suzerain Emperor Dayan."

"..."

The first time Yang Hun saw his seventh uncle, the most respected in the world, he was a little silly.

According to the rumors he had heard, he, the most respected seventh uncle in the world, was eight feet tall and had an eight-foot waist, and was scarier than Rakshasa.

He also grew up listening to the stories of his seventh uncle.

But when he saw the real person, he was a little disappointed.

He didn't have the vicious look he had imagined, but instead he looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, with every move, ordinary and no tyrannical aura could be seen.

When Yang Qi approached, the Queen Mother Tie Jing pulled the absent-minded Yang Hun for a moment.

However, Yang Hun still missed the chance to salute Yang Qi.

Yang Qi's eyes, as if looking at a stranger, passed over their mother and child, without saying a word, walked past them calmly.

Empress Dowager Tie Jing gave Yang Hun a sneaky look. Seeing that Yang Qi was about to leave, she shouted at Yang Qi's back: "I implore Your Majesty to open the mountain road and let me go up the mountain to pay homage to my sister."

Yang Qi paused, recovered his senses, glanced at her, and said, "I am very clear about your purpose. I don't want to see others acting in front of me. I don't even want to see someone acting in front of her."

Empress Tie Jing's face was ashen, and she argued in a low voice: "I have a deep relationship with my sister and sister, how can it be an act to pay homage to my sister?"

"That's good! I will give you two choices. The first one is to go up the mountain to pay homage to her. After the sacrifice, you can leave the country of Yan. The second one is to return to the palace with me, and I will have a good chat with you. your demands."

After leaving this sentence, before Queen Mother Tie Jing could reply, Yang Qi had strode away.

The imperial guards also quickly evacuated here, following Yang Qi's footsteps.

Only the bewildered Empress Dowager Tie Jing and her party stood in place.

Yang Hun tugged at the sleeve of Queen Mother Tie Jing, and said in a low voice, "Queen Mother, what should we do?"

How to do?
Queen Mother Tie Jing looked at the faintly visible tombstone on the hillside, and then at Yang Qi who was about to disappear before her eyes.

She gritted her teeth and said sorry to Princess Haijing in her heart.

Then, she told the people around her, "Chase Yang Yansi..."

As for her reaction, Peng Pai had already sent someone to monitor her.

When she started to catch up with Yang Qi, Peng Pai had already sent the news to Yang Qi's ears.

"Your Majesty, she has caught up."

Yang Qi strolled on the avenue with his hands behind his back, hearing the news from Peng Pai, and sighed: "This man always likes to do some stupid things. If he can fall down twice in the same pit, he is extremely stupid." cure.

Send people back to Beijing quickly, and inform the officials of the Ministry of Rites to welcome them into the palace according to the etiquette of paying tribute to Fanbang. "

"Hey~"

Queen Mother Tie Jing's methods, which were full of politicians' methods, wiped out the last trace of Yang Qi's feelings for the Liao Kingdom.

Yang Qi also didn't have the mind to drag Liao State in the name of private affairs.

Since she is used to putting state affairs first, it is very necessary for Yang Qi to deal with her business.

Yang Qi, who returned to the palace, put on the dragon robe that symbolized his status as an emperor, and turned into that majestic emperor again.

When he stepped into Qianyuan Hall.

Baiguan, Empress Dowager Tie Jing, Yang Hun and others have been waiting in Qianyuan Hall for a long time.

He slowly sat on the dragon chair and accepted the worship of all the officials.

At this time, Yang Hun felt the majesty of the Supreme Being from him.

At least, within the scope of his understanding, those envoys who dared to point their noses and scold everyone in the Liao Kingdom in the court hall of the Liao Kingdom were paying homage in the most humble manner in front of Yang Qi.

Accepted the worship of the people.

Yang Qi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, said slowly, "The envoy from the Liao Kingdom, what are you talking about?"

The Empress Dowager Tie Jing pulled Yang Hun and said to Yang Qi: "I implore the emperor of the suzerain country to exempt me from the annual tribute of the Liao Kingdom."

"Why?"

Yang Qi asked without any emotion in his voice.

The Empress Dowager Tie Jing gritted her teeth and said, "Our Liao Kingdom pays tribute year after year, and the common people are suffering unspeakably. Nowadays, there are scenes of people changing their sons to eat. If this continues, the people of our Liao Kingdom will starve to death."

Yang Qi said lightly: "It is indeed tragic to change children and eat. But what does it do to our country of Yan?"

Empress Dowager Tie Jing said solemnly: "If it hadn't been for the annual tribute to the suzerain country, the Liao Kingdom would not be like this. Besides, the annual tribute between the two countries was the result of the two countries' war a few years ago.

At that time, Liao State was not yet a vassal of Yan State.

Now that the Liao Kingdom has become a vassal of the Yan Kingdom, the annual tribute should be cancelled. "

As soon as Queen Mother Tie Jing said this, some officials in the court nodded in agreement.

After all, this was the case in all previous dynasties of the Yan Kingdom.

Treating vassal states, in addition to the annual tribute, there is no large amount of annual tribute of gold and silver.

What the Queen Mother Tie Jing said made sense.

However, Yang Qi smiled lightly and said: "The old regulations you mentioned were established by the previous dynasties, not my country of Yan. I just feel grateful for the Tang and Song dynasties, when they were so kind to you vassal states. This led to the breeding of tigers, let you bite back.

Therefore, I canceled this old rule.

I don't want to imitate them and raise tigers. "

Empress Dowager Tie Jing turned pale, and said anxiously: "I have heard that the Central Plains is a country of etiquette, and your country is so aggressive, it is rude to discuss it."

Yang Qi didn't hit back at Queen Mother Tie Jing, but looked at Baiguan.

"Do you think so too?"

Among the officials, some people nodded implicitly.

However, when they saw Yang Qi's half-smile eyes, they immediately started shaking their heads wildly.

Only then did Yang Qi nod in satisfaction, and said to Queen Mother Tie Jing: "My Central Plains is indeed a state of etiquette, but what does this have to do with my forcing you. What qualifications do you have to ask me to teach you etiquette?"

The Queen Mother Tie Jing was stunned and almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

She gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice: "Are you not afraid that under your threat, our Liao Kingdom will fall apart, and those newly born leaders will invade your Yan Kingdom?"

Yang Qi smiled.

"This is the best joke I've ever heard this year. I'm gearing up for a fight."

In the last sentence, Yang Qi said it loudly.

After hearing this, all the officials puffed up their chests involuntarily.

Empress Tie Jing felt what is determination and what is pressure.

She was already unable to argue, so she could only pull her son.

Reminded by Empress Dowager Tie Jing, Yang Hun bravely stepped forward and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, if you do this, many people will starve to death, including me and my father."

Yang Hun's immature voice resounded through Qianyuan Hall.

All the officials in the Qianyuan Hall looked at him strangely, and then at Yang Qi.

The family card played by Yang Hun has no technical content, it can even be said to be very straightforward.

The details of his identity have long been known to all the officials, and even the people in the harem have fallen under his affection, all the officials also know very clearly.

However, the harem cannot represent Yan.

The only person who can represent the country of Yan is Yang Qi.

His attitude will determine the attitude of the officials towards the Liao Kingdom in the future.

Yang Qi glanced at Yang Hun, and said calmly, "Who are you?"

Yang Hun was taken aback, but the officials were shocked.

The hand of Queen Mother Tie Jing holding Yang Hun's sleeve was shaking.

Yang Hun's answer was very important to them.

If Yang Hun admits that he is the heir of the Yang family, then there may be one more territory on the territory of Yan Kingdom in the future, and besides that, there will be one more top dignitary in Yan Kingdom.

But if Yang Hun only recognized him as the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, then he would no longer be able to have any communication with the Yan Kingdom as a heir of the Yang family for the rest of his life.

Yang Hun was also trembling, and trembling violently.

The Queen Mother Tie Jing did not remind him how to deal with such a situation.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Intimidated by Yang Qi's eyes, Yang Hun said hesitantly: "I am the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, Yelusi."

As soon as this word comes out.

Queen Mother Tie Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

All the officials let go of their trembling hearts, folded their hands on their chests, and looked indifferent.

Yang Hun's choice has already determined the attitude of the officials towards them.

"Oh?"

Yang Qi smiled and said: "Emperor Yelusi of the Liao Kingdom... It seems that my father Hunbo, who has just been canonized, will be deposed soon. Since you are the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, Yelusi, then I will treat you like the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. Tell you."

"Even if all of you in the Liao Kingdom are starved to death, what does it have to do with me?"

Yang Hun was taken aback for a moment, and stammered with a blushing face, "I, I, I..."

Yang Hun stuttered for a long time, unable to say a word.

Yang Qi glanced at him, and said calmly: "Since you are young, I will remind you. I am not the emperor of your Liao country, and I am not in the mood to help your Liao country become prosperous and strong. If you don't live up to your expectations, don't ask others for help. Don't blame others for not helping you.

More importantly, don't expect your strong neighbors to be soft on you.

Between countries, every inch of profit must be contested. "

Yang Hun opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

Because he doesn't understand something.

Queen Mother Tie Jing understood Yang Qi's words.

Yang Qi told her with a strong attitude that there is no way for Yan Guo to let you go.

Yang Qi glanced at their mother and son, and said again: "I will pass on my will. Next year, the Liao Kingdom's annual tribute will be increased by another 10 taels. If the delivery cannot be made on time, I will ask Shang Qingzi to pick it up for me in person. One less money, I peeled off his skin."

"Puff~"

Queen Mother Tie Jing sat slumped on the ground.

Yang Hun's face was pale and pale.

"Retreat!"

After the officials saluted again, Yang Qi shook his sleeves and left Qianyuan Hall.

In this court meeting, Yang Qi fully demonstrated the dominance of a powerful country.

Other emperors increased the annual tribute, but also sent envoys to discuss with each other, or threatened.

And Yang Qi increased the annual tribute without any discussion or threat.

I want!You have to give!
If you don't give it, go get it yourself!
Empress Dowager Tie Jing and her son left the palace with the support of the imperial guards.

Just arrived at the gate of the palace.

Queen Tie Jing suddenly grabbed the arm of Peng Pai who sent them out.

"Why is he so heartless? Why is he so heartless? Can't he give us a chance? I'm his fourth sister-in-law?"

Peng Pai let Queen Mother Tie Jing grab his arm, and he curled his lips and said, "Is Your Majesty ruthless? Your Majesty is not merciless at all. Your Majesty gave you two chances back and forth.

But it was all missed by you.

It is you, not Your Majesty, who is truly heartless.

Also, my Great Yan Kingdom does not have a Fourth Princess like you.

You are the Empress Dowager of the Liao Kingdom, so don't misidentify your relatives. "

Empress Dowager Tie Jing stared with disbelief, she tremblingly said: "Hai Jing!"

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that Yang Qi had given her a chance.

Both times were because of Hai Jing, but she missed both times.

There is nothing wrong with the family card she relied on for her mission to the country of Yan this time.

The mistake was that she relied on the wrong person.

In Yang Qi's heart, Hai Jing's status is higher than her son's.

Guilt, unwillingness, and hesitation all rushed into her heart in one breath.
