Compete for the Song Dynasty

On this day, there was a cry of a baby in Mayer's mansion, and the small courtyard immediately boiled.Tong Xiao hurriedly ran to Wang Pang's study room, Wang Pang was looking at a pile of account books, Yue Xia tilted his head beside him, grinding the mill and looking at it with Wang Pang.

"Father, mother, I have a younger brother!" Tong Xiao jumped up and ran to Yuexia.

Yuexia smiled and patted him on the head: "Tong Xiao is almost ten years old, and he still runs around like this. Didn't we agree that we should have rules first?" Tong Xiao smiled, Showing a little Lai look.

Hearing this, Wang Ping knew it, and was also happy for He Libo in his heart, he got up and pulled Yuexia and said, "Let's go, let's have a look."

Many people came to the small courtyard where He Libo was located in Mayer's mansion.He Li Bo was surrounded by people from the house, listening to the congratulations of the people.Hey giggled.Seeing Wang Pang and Yue Xia coming down, everyone stepped aside, and Wang Pang came to He Libo and patted him on the shoulder: "Why are you smirking?" Yue Xia also took out the congratulatory gifts prepared in advance. [

Tong Xiao yelled to go in and watch, but was dragged by Yan Zhihu: "Don't go. I won't be able to see it in two days," Tong Xiao couldn't help but pouted, ran to Wang and Yuexia's side unhappy, and said To: "Mother, you should give birth to a little brother soon, it's inconvenient to look at other people's." Yuexia blushed when Tong Xiao said it, and everyone burst into laughter.

While talking and joking, a family member came and handed He Libo a letter. He Libo opened it immediately and looked at him, his brows were knit together, the smile on his face disappeared, and the people around him were still engrossed. In joy, He Libo left the small courtyard and quietly came to the garden, and sat in the gazebo in a daze.

He Libo's changes can be hidden from others, but not from Wang Pang. He asked Yuexia Xiaolu to prepare to celebrate at the mansion, and he followed He Libo out of the small courtyard, found the garden and saw He Libo sitting in the gazebo On the flower stand, with his back against the railing of the gazebo, even Wang Pang came up to him, and he was still in a daze.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Wang Pang thought to himself, this He Libo is usually rough and meticulous, and the coal yard business is also well-organized, and today he is happy with his son, what makes him so unhappy?He coughed to remind He Libo, and then sat down on the stone bench in the gazebo.

He Libo hurriedly got up, Wang Pang said: "Brother, there is no need to be like this, there are no outsiders in the house, and you and my brothers have not chatted together for a long time. Today I see that the elder brother is frowning, but is there anything important?"

He Libo turned his head and looked around, although there are many people coming and going in and out of the mansion, the garden is still relatively secluded, and the gazebo is in the middle of the lotus pond, even if people come from the garden, it may not be Can hear what they are saying.

He hesitated for a moment, the letter just now was a letter from home, but then he thought that Wang Pang and himself are like brothers, and he is still taken care of by Wang Pang to this day, besides, this matter is related to whether he will return to Liao Kingdom.He took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Wang Pang: "Brother, read it for yourself."

Wang Pang opened it to see that it was a letter from He Libo's elder brother Wanyan Huanzhe. The letter said: Yelu Hongji, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, did not really carry out reforms, and he was also decadent and extravagant, and the landlords and bureaucrats merged rapidly. The land, the people are suffering and complaining.Daozong of the Liao Dynasty used Yelu Yixin and other traitors a lot, ignored the government himself, and listened to Yelu Yixin's slander.

Yelu Hongji also summoned the leaders of various Jurchen tribes to come to the court, ordered them to offer tribute, and humiliated the leaders to let the Jurchen leaders perform dances for the court. Everyone dared not speak out.Now the emperor's uncle Yelu Zhongyuan is recruiting troops in the Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, the capital of the Liao Dynasty, and he is ready to take the lead in instigating rebellion. The impeacher Wanyan is serving as a general under Yelu Zhongyuan. Now he writes to invite Wanyan He Libo to return to the Liao Kingdom, and the brothers will join hands to create a great cause.

When He Libo saw that Wang Pang read the letter and was silent, he thought that Wang Pang was not willing to leave by himself, so he sighed and said, "Even if I want to go, it will take a while to settle the matter of the coal yard. The lady just gave birth to a son, even if I go, I have to settle down with their mother and son."

The king listened to He Libo's words, and knew that he wanted to go, but he was embarrassed about the matter at hand.He remained silent for a long time, not because he was reluctant to part with He Libo, after all, it was a matter of the He Libo family, and as an outsider, he definitely couldn't stop it.His silence was the source of this letter. Since Yelu Chongyuan was planning to instigate a rebellion, it must have been done in secret. How could it be possible for his generals to casually send such a letter to his family.If there was an accidental letter on the road and the court discovered it, it would not be the Wanyan Helibo brothers who were unlucky.

Wang Pang was thinking whether to bring this matter to light, when suddenly He Li Bo slapped his thigh and said: "My lord, this matter is a bit strange." He felt that something was wrong just now.Now it suddenly occurred to me that before he left, the two brothers had a discussion. If it was an important matter, they would only send a letter saying that the family was safe or that they were in poor health. How could they suddenly send such a detailed letter.

He Libo stretched out his hand to ask for the letter, and looked it over carefully, the handwriting was indeed similar to that of his elder brother, but the tone of his speech was not like that of his elder brother.This idea did not make him less stressed at all, on the contrary, he was even more puzzled, could it be that his brother had an accident, and besides, He Li Bo never told outsiders that he was working in the Wang's residence.

Seeing that He Libo frowned even tighter, Wang looked at He Libo silently, thinking that Yelu Hongji of the Liao Kingdom, or the black crystal could give him some hints about the Liao Kingdom, but there were not many clues.The king also found a pattern in this matter, and it was difficult to find information from the black crystal about what happened in the current dynasty.It seems that this also indicates that the existence of the king is unknowable.

Seeing that no clue could be found, Wang Pang gave up thinking and asked He Libo: "What do you think is strange, Brother He?"

He Libo told Wang Pang what was in his heart: "In Song Dynasty, even in our Mayer Mansion, no one knows my real name except the young master and my wife. Why did you suddenly send this letter to the mansion?"

Seeing that what He Libo said was not a joke, Wang Pang thought to himself that Li Enxi would not tell others, let alone himself, so he suddenly burst out laughing.

He Li Bo was taken aback by his smile, did Wang Pang lose his nerve?There's nothing to be happy about.

Wang Pang laughed that since the letter was delivered to Mayer's residence, it was not for He Libo, but for Wang Pang.It seems that He Li Bo's identity will not be a secret soon, but the person who sent the letter obviously had to put aside the relationship between Wang Pang and He Li Bo before sending the letter to He Li Bo. private affairs. [

But who?Knowing the details of this matter, Wang Pang still had some doubts about why this move happened.Seeing He Libo looking at him with confused eyes, Wang Pang said: "Brother He, don't panic, there are no storms, there must be a reason for what happened in the Liao Kingdom, and you should prepare as you should. Maybe you will go back to the Liao Kingdom. "

Seeing Wang Pang's calmness, He Libo felt a little comforted and wanted to thank Wang Pang.Wang Pang hurriedly said: "You and I, brothers, don't be polite, but I don't know much about the affairs of the Liao Kingdom. Who is this Yelu Chongyuan? I would like to ask Brother He to tell me about it." After Wang Pang finished speaking, He greeted the servants in the courtyard and brought some tea for the two of them. Since he had a premonition that this matter was coming towards him, he naturally had to do more homework.

He Libo simply sat down on the stone bench, and the two of them were about to talk when Tong Xiao ran over, and when he ran to the gazebo, he listened to something.The child had good ears and only listened to what Wang Pang had to say, so he sat down on the stone bench regardless of whether the two adults objected.

Wang Pang looked at this tiger-headed little guy, and felt that there was nothing wrong with him listening, but like Yuexia said, he had to hire a gentleman when he had time, this kid was too reckless.

He Libo smiled, Tong Xiao always pestered He Libo to learn martial arts, don't think he is not good at learning literature, but he is a good guy for martial arts, so he usually likes this kid more, he sees that Wang Pang has no objection, so naturally he has no objection .

He Libo's eyes lit up when he talked about the affairs of the Liao Kingdom. Before he could speak, he asked the king: "Brother, tell me, what's it like to be an emperor every day? Otherwise, what's it like not to be an emperor?" If you want me to think it’s better for Song Guo, not because of the emperor’s brother’s discord.”

Wang Bangxin said, it's just that you don't know, he smiled: "Could it be that Yelu Chongyuan also wants to be the emperor of the Liao Kingdom?"

He Libo curled his lips: "It's fine if he wants to do it, the point is that he doesn't want to do it!"

This is a bit interesting, but if you don't want to be the emperor, why recruit troops and buy horses to plan a rebellion?Tong Xiao saw that the two of them were talking to each other, but they didn't start talking, so he said anxiously: "Uncle He, tell Tong Xiao quickly."

When He Libo saw the king, he also wanted to hear about it, so he briefly explained the matter of the Liao Kingdom: When the Liao Shengzong passed away, the eldest son Yeluzong really came to the throne, and Yeluzong really had his biological mother Xiao Lujin (that is, the Empress Dowager Fatian) stand on her own. She became the empress dowager and regent, and forced Yeluzong's real adoptive mother, Empress Qitian, Xiao Bodhisattva brother to death.

Empress Dowager Fatian reused corrupt officials and her natal family members who were dismissed as never being hired during the Liao Shengzong era.Yeluzong really couldn't be saved because of his power, and the mother and son had a grudge because of this.At that time, the Empress Dowager Fatian planned to change her second son, Yelu Chongyuan, to be the emperor.

Unexpectedly, Yelu Zhongyuan told the then emperor Yelu Zongzhen about himself.The emperor was furious, and used force to abolish the Queen Mother Fatian, forcing the Queen Mother Fatian to "guard the Qingling Mausoleum";Afterwards, the Empress Dowager ordered Fatian to keep a distance of ten miles from him in case of accidents.The relationship between the emperor and the queen mother broke down because of this.

Later, Yelu Zongzhen gambled with his younger brother Yelu Chongyuan and lost several cities in a row.But Yelu Chongyuan never mentioned this matter. The emperor was very grateful and promised to pass on the throne to Yelu Chongyuan after a hundred years when he was drunk.His son Yelu Hongji (later Daozong of Liao Dynasty) was never crowned as the crown prince, but only the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses.

However, when Yelu Zong really died, he was succeeded by Liao Daozong Yelu Hongji, which leads to: Yelu Zongyuan and his son tried to seize the throne; Zhao Shu designed to frame Wang Pang.It's just that this letter hinting at Wang Pang was not arranged by Zhao Shu. Who is secretly reminding Wang Pang?
