Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 855 0850 [Yelüyan]

Ju Ming had already met Yelvci Ouno, the youngest daughter of Emperor Tianzuo of Liao.

She is indeed very beautiful, and she doesn't look like a northern woman. She has a small frame, a slender figure, a charming face, and facial features as delicate as sculptures.

It's a pity that he is only fourteen years old.

Ju Ming decided to raise the baby for two years first, not out of any moral values, but simply because ancient medical technology was not good enough and he was afraid that he would become pregnant at a young age and suffer from difficult labor.

But the canonization had already been carried out, and Yeluci Ouno's rank was higher than that of the former Song Emperor who had just entered the palace - she was named Chongyuan.

There is no other reason than the value of united front.

Just like Yelu Yujian was granted the title of Marquis, Emperor Tianzuo's youngest daughter entering the palace was instrumental in stabilizing the Khitan clan. Especially the Khitan generals who surrendered will feel more at ease and more willing to work hard.

The name Yeluci Ouno was too hard to pronounce, so Ju Ming personally helped her change her name.

Full of bad taste, I changed my name to Yeluyan...

In terms of name, she is related to Princess Li Qinglu of Xixia.

"Madam, I have found the Buddhist scriptures."

A palace maid ran in, holding a Buddhist scripture in her hand: "His Majesty, the Ming Emperor, doesn't like Buddhism very much. It's hard to find Buddhist scriptures in the palace. I borrowed this one from Concubine Li Xian."

"Then I will go and thank Concubine Li Xian another day. Please help me and ask her when she is free." Yeluyan said.

"Yes." The maid bowed and said.

Yelu Yan spread out the Buddhist scriptures, took out his writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to copy the scriptures seriously to pass the time.

When she was still in her mother's womb, her mother followed Emperor Tianzuo into exile in the grasslands. From the day I can remember, I lived with my sister at Wanyan Zongwang’s house. After Wanyan Zongwang died of illness, her sister was adopted by Zongwang's younger brother, Nian Luguan, and she lived with her sister in Nianluguan's home.

Last year, Wu Luguan was killed by Wu Qimai.

To be precise, of all the sons that Aguda had, not a single one is left.

Either die in battle or beheaded.

Even if Wu Qimai didn't take action, he would still be taken to Kaifeng to be executed.

For example, Wanyan Yansun, Wanyan Ohu, etc., they are still very young, some are even only thirteen or fourteen years old.

But who made their father Aguda?
After offering the prisoners, chop them all!
All the young concubines left by Aguda were rewarded to generals who had made meritorious service.

For example, Wanyan Yansun's biological mother, Xiao, was a noblewoman from a descendant of the Liao Kingdom. Xiao was rewarded by Ju Ming to be Yue Fei's concubine, which helped Yue Fei manage the Linhuang Protectorate - the main population there was Khitan.

With a noble daughter of the Xiao family as a concubine, the Khitan people would be more willing to obey Yue Fei's orders.

Regarding this incident, Yue Fei burst into tears and vowed to devote himself to the Ming Dynasty until his death.

The reason why Yue Fei was so excited was not because he got a beautiful woman, but because the emperor trusted him too much. He controls a large area of ​​grassland. If it were another king, how could he dare to give him a Khitan noble daughter? It's too late to prevent him from rebelling!

Yeluyan copied the scriptures and recited them in a low voice.

As she thought about it, a smile appeared on her face and she glanced at the palace maid Jin Feng next to her.

This Jinfeng, whose real surname is Wanyan, is the youngest daughter of Wu Qimai.

Last year, the two were sent to get married together.

As a result, Yeluyan became a concubine, and Jinfeng became a palace maid.

This incident made Yeluyan very happy. She had been dependent on others since she was a child and had never enjoyed much happiness. Because she was so beautiful, she was jealous when she was twelve or thirteen years old. Her mistress locked her up in a side courtyard and was not allowed to go out.

Now times have turned around and she has become the master, and Wu Qimai's daughter has to serve her.

A eunuch suddenly came to deliver the decree: "Your Majesty has issued a decree that unmarried maids from the Kingdom of Jin can choose to leave the palace when they reach the age of twenty-two. During this period, you should work diligently."

Jinfeng quickly knelt down to thank him.

She finally has hope. Although she will be older when she leaves the palace, she has the status of a princess of the Kingdom of Jin, and she is also relatively pretty. She will definitely not worry about getting married when the time comes.

At least, you can live a normal life!

"Your Majesty is too kind." Yeluyan muttered.

She is not evil-hearted, but she hates the Kingdom of Jin very much and does not see the nobles of the Kingdom of Jin living well.

Biting the pen, Yeluyan leaned on the table with her cheek in hand, and the scene of that day came to mind again.

She was taken to see the Emperor of Tomorrow. Although they only met briefly, Yeluyan thought about it day and night. The Emperor Da Ming was very young, handsome, tall, and of extraordinary bearing. He also helped her destroy the Kingdom of Jin to avenge her hatred, and he would be her husband from now on.

She still remembered that day Emperor Zhu said: "She is indeed the most beautiful woman in Beijing. She is flawless, quiet and generous. You are as petite as a swallow in the palm of your hand. Please change your name to Yeluyan from now on."

Yeluyan likes this name very much, just like she likes the Emperor of Heaven.

That's her big hero!

Yeluyan enshrined the Buddhist scriptures on the table, knelt down and silently prayed for the Emperor of Heaven, and at the same time prayed for her sisters scattered everywhere. It is said that the third sister Yu Liyan, who is both mother and sister, remarried to His Majesty's half-brother. I hope the third sister can live a happy life.

Three days later, Yeluyan went to pay homage to Princess Li Qinglu of Xixia with a small gift.

"Thank you sister for lending me the Buddhist scriptures." Yeluyan held out the Buddhist scriptures and gifts.

Li Qinglu said: "Just take it and recite it."

Yeluyan said: "It has been copied."

Li Qinglu then put away the Buddhist scriptures: "The officials don't like the Buddha. The only ones who believe in Buddhism in the palace are you and me. You can come and go more often in the future. Daxia and Liao have often been married in the past. Maybe you and I are still relatives. ”

"It turns out we are relatives. Why do I want to get close to my sister when I see her?" Yeluyan was very good at reading people's eyes and immediately tried to establish a relationship with her.

Li Qinglu had a much simpler personality. She took Yeluyan to teach her how to play Xixia musical instruments, and comforted her by saying, "Concubines who are too young do not need to sleep with them when they enter the palace. The officials have already explained that young women may If the child is difficult to give birth to, you should give birth to another child. If the official family is delayed, don't think too much, it is because the official family is cherishing you. "

"So that's it, the official is really a good man." Yeluyan smiled happily, and she liked the Emperor of Heaven more in her heart.

After chatting for a long time, Li Qinglu called her children again. She had given birth to a son and a daughter, and her current title was "Xianfei".

Perhaps because Yeluyan was beautiful, Li Qinglu's children liked to stick to her, and the relationship between the two became much closer.

Li Qinglu said to Yeluyan: "The queen is a decent person. Although she is not easy to get close to, she does things fairly. All the concubines in the palace obey her discipline. The imperial concubine (Zheng Yuanyi) is very popular, and she is easy-going and likes to eat, drink and have fun. From now on, you will If you encounter difficulties, you can ask the imperial concubine for help and give her some delicious food. "

Yeluyan said quickly: "Thank you sister for your advice."

Li Qinglu added: "The officials allow us to go out to worship Buddha. We just need to report to the female official in advance, bring the bride with us, and return to the palace on the same day. But we can't go too frequently, for fear of annoying the officials. I won't I go to worship Buddha once every six months. Next time I go out to worship Buddha, I will call you, but I don’t know which temple in Luoyang is the most effective.”

"I will definitely accompany my sister." Yeluyan was even more happy. She had not gone out much when she was in the Kingdom of Jin.

Li Qinglu said: "When I was in Kaifeng, I would go out to play polo with the officials every now and then, or go to the stadium to watch Cuju. I heard that there is no racecourse here in Luoyang, and I don't know when it will be built."

Yeluyan hurriedly asked how to play polo, and Li Qinglu explained to her carefully.

These two people are worthy of being Jin Yong. They are naturally compatible and became good friends as soon as they met.

……

Xiliao.

Yelu Dashi, who had captured a large area of ​​grassland north of the Tianshan Mountains last year, seemed to feel that his wings were full, so he went to surprise the Eastern Kara Khanate in the spring.

At the beginning, progress was rapid.

But when the main force of the Eastern Kara Khanate came to kill him, Yelu Dashi realized that he had stepped on an iron plate!

The army that Yelu Dashi encountered last time was not the elite of the Eastern Kara Khanate at all, so he felt that the enemy was mediocre.

At that time, the Eastern Kara Khanate was facing the Seljuk invasion, and all its elites were transferred to the west. In the end, the battle was not fought because the Eastern Kara Khanate surrendered directly and expressed its willingness to submit to the Seljuk Sultan and no longer intercept the Silk Road caravans.

Yelu Dashi, who was unaware of the actual situation, was severely defeated by the Eastern Kara Khanate this year, and even his general Ale was captured by the enemy.

"Your Majesty, there is news from merchants in Gaochang..."

A group of light cavalry came galloping over: "The Kingdom of Jin is gone!"

Yelu Dashi was stunned when he heard this, as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

The Kingdom of Jin is gone, and so is his goal.

He was really determined to destroy the Jin Dynasty and restore the Liao Dynasty. Historically, he swallowed up the Eastern Kara Khanate and led 70,000 people in the second year, eager to attack the Jin Dynasty. Unfortunately, the journey was too far, the newly conquered tribes complained, and there was not enough water and grass on the road to give up.

Yelu Dashi was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "Is there any other news?"

The Qingqi leader said: "The news was spread by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty on his own initiative, probably because he wanted to frighten the Western Regions. The pseudo-gold emperor Wu Qimai was captured and taken to the Kaifeng prisoner sacrifice palace, and was named the An Le Gong of the Ming Dynasty. The late emperor (Tian Zuo) The third princess of the emperor remarried to Emperor Zhu's brother. The fourth princess of the late emperor remarried to the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Guangdao, and the sixth princess became the concubine of the Mobei tribe. , all surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and respectfully called Emperor Zhu the Khan of Heaven."

Yelu Dashi sat down slowly, pulled out a grass core, and looked up at the sky without moving.

For a moment, Yelu Dashi felt disheartened.

The Eastern Kara Khanate in the west could not be conquered, and the Jin Kingdom in the east was destroyed. Even the tribes in Mobei surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

The sky is so big and the earth is so big, can it be that he, Yelu Dashi, can only huddle here and become a local emperor?

After two months of confusion in Yelv Dashi, herdsmen suddenly arrived with envoys from the Eastern Kara Khanate.

Aslan Khan, the king of the Eastern Kara Khanate, personally led his army to defeat Yelu Dashi some time ago.

But on the way to victory, Aslan Khan suddenly died of illness!
When his son Ibrahim II succeeded to the throne, rebellions broke out in the country before he could even get started. Now, the rebels were about to reach the capital. Ibrahim II was seriously ill and sought medical treatment. He actually sent an envoy to Yelu Dashi to borrow troops.

Moreover, Ibrahim II also promised that as long as Yelu Dashi helped defeat the rebels, he would dedicate a large area of ​​the Seven Rivers to him.

"Calling all warriors together!"

Yelu Dashi, who was in a depressed mood, immediately cheered up when he heard the news. He knew what he should do next.
