Compete for the Song Dynasty

As soon as Wang Pang walked into Oruduo, Yelu Hongji stood up, pointed to the queen beside him and said: "Wang Shilang has seen Queen Xiao." After that, he pointed to Wang Pang and said to Queen Xiao: "My beloved concubine , This is what I have often mentioned to you, Wang Shilang of the Song Kingdom."

When the king saw Yelu Hongji, it was the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, Empress Xiao, who blamed Princess Yan for her misbehavior, hurriedly bowed to greet her.Empress Xiao bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "I've heard about Wang Shilang's name for a long time, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Wang Pang thought to himself: It seems that she no longer remembers that day, Princess Yan's frivolous behavior towards Wang Pang, there is no need to remind this matter.He was quite curious about this queen who would be framed by the "Ten Erotic Ci" incident and humiliated by the naked body in the future. Last time when it was dark, he didn't bother to look. Graceful and graceful, with a graceful appearance, I secretly compared in my heart: Empress Cao of Renzong's mother respected the world, she was kind and graceful; the queen of Xixia Li Liangzuo, Liang Luoyao, was born beautiful but her mother respected the respect of the world; and this Xiao Guanyin is not only beautiful and beautiful. It is dignified and majestic.

Wang Pang is not a lustful person, and he just admired it, besides, Xiao Guanyin is indeed so beautiful that people don't have any evil thoughts. I really didn't expect that there would be such a stunning beauty in the barren land of the Liao Kingdom.Wang Pang was taken aback for a moment, Yelu Hongji laughed and said: "Wang Shilang came here today to borrow troops? Please sit down, Wang Shilang, let's have a good chat." seat.

Wang Pang followed what he pointed, and sat down on a felt. The table above the felt was also placed with candied fruit, fruit, wine and meat.Wang Pang took out a gift list from his bosom, which he really intended to give to Yelu Hongji.Yelu Hongji took it and saw that it was the round tea sent by the king.He laughed and said, "This is a generous gift."

Wang Pang smiled slightly and said, "This gift was specially ordered to be prepared when we returned to the Song Dynasty, but we didn't have time to return to my tea farm in Bianjing, otherwise it would definitely bring the best quality. Give it to Emperor Liao."

Yelu Hongji handed the gift list to Empress Xiao and said: "Look at how interesting this brother is, and this top-grade tuancha is also what I wish for."

Empress Xiao said with a smile: "This is already a great gift. Does the emperor know that I heard that one tuan tea in the folks can be exchanged for a horse of Panluo." It is a kind of Luosha. Officially, a piece of Luosha is worth 300 Wen copper coins, and it is about 2000 Liang when converted into Wenyin.If the conversion of these more than [-] grams of silver is back to modern people, it is equivalent to at least more than [-] yuan.The group of tea at Wang's side is about a catty of top-grade third-class white tea. If there is a chance to set up a tea farm on the border of Yanyun, it will be a huge profit.

The account was detailed, but Wang Pang had already figured it out in a flash. He said with a smile: "If I can go back to Bianjing, I can give it to the Emperor Liao and the Empress if I have a chance. As long as I don't send it to the Emperor's Palace Everyone, I can still afford to give this little thought."

Yelu Hongji laughed again when he heard this: "Wang Shilang is a cheerful person, but why didn't you go back to Bianjing?"

Wang Pangxin said, I really want to go back, but I have to go back!But it was a conflict among the people after all, and it was useless to tell Yelu Hongji, he said with a smile: "This is not caused by the borrowing of troops that Emperor Liao just said."

"Hmph! I can see that your new emperor of the Song Dynasty doesn't want you to go back. The Song Dynasty borrowed soldiers from the Liao Kingdom to help Goryeo fight Japanese slaves. Then Zhao Shu is really not as kind as his father. I think you are too Don't go back to the Song Kingdom, how about I make you the Great King of the Nanyuan in my Liao Kingdom?" Yelu Hongji liked Wang Pang from the bottom of his heart, and he said it sincerely.

Wang Pang smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness. If I stay in Liao Kingdom like this, what will happen to my parents, brothers and family members? It won't be called disloyal and unfilial."

Yelu Hongji was not angry at all, he raised his thumb and said: "Okay, he's a man! We can discuss the matter of borrowing troops slowly. If I don't have any worries, I'll just focus on your Song Dynasty emperor, not your emperor." You Wang Shilang, that's what you say!"

After the king listened to him, he realized that what Yelu Hongji said was straightforward, but only the people around him. He looked into the tent, and there were not many people in the tent, except for Yelu Hongji and himself, who were Yelu Liang who served the emperor. , behind Yelu Hongji there were two guards, and there were also two wine maids.

Seeing that the king was suddenly silent, Yelu Hongji said to the guards behind him: "Retire first!" Hearing what he said, the two guards turned and walked out of the big tent, Empress Xiao also stood up and said: "Since the emperor and the king The minister has state affairs to discuss, so the concubine will leave first." After saying that, he left the big tent.

Seeing that everyone retreated, Yelu Hongji said to the king: "The servant Wang's expression was different just now, could there be something hidden about the borrowing of soldiers?"

"There is nothing hidden about the matter of borrowing soldiers. I just heard the Emperor Liao talk about his worries. Thinking of what the Emperor Liao said about worrying about the emperor's uncle, I dare not make rash comments on the Liao Emperor's family affairs." Wang Pang talked about the topic. Guided Yelu Zongyuan, but also left a way out for himself.

Yelu Hongji's expression became serious and he said: "If this worry is not resolved, there is no way to lend troops to Wang Shilang, please take care of Wang Shilang."

"Don't worry, don't worry! The ancients said that if you want to fight against the outside world, you must settle down first. Although I can't be an official of your Liao Dynasty, I am willing to help you out of your worries because of the kindness of the Emperor Liao." Wang Pang didn't believe it. According to his judgment of Yelu Hongji, Yelu Hongji must have been moved by such a sincere tone.

Sure enough, Yelu Hongji nodded approvingly: "I knew it, I won't misjudge someone! From today onwards, I will treat you as a distinguished guest, regardless of whether you have an official position in Song State, or whether you are an official of our Liao State , you are allowed to come and go in and out of the palace. Well, beloved, you go and get a gold medal and give it to Wang Shilang."

This is feasible, I have a gold medal bestowed by Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty on my body, and I also wear a gold medal from Yelu Hongji, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and was recognized by that boy Li Liangzuo as his brother. You can't punish yourself.Good things are good things, but no gold medal can keep the moon safe.

Even so, Wang Pang also achieved his goal, he thanked Yelu Hongji with a happy face, took the gold medal Wang Pang said: "Since I can't lend me soldiers for the time being, I might as well go to Korea and wait." He said this A bit hypocritical, it is obvious that Yelu Hongji intends to keep himself.

Yelu Hongji said: "What are you doing in Goryeo? You came here on orders. If I don't lend you soldiers for a day, you will stay in Liao for a day. I'm planning to go to Rehe to worship my ancestors in a while." , you can accompany me on a safari. Wouldn’t it be better!” [

Wang Pang pretended to be surprised and said: "Rehe is near the Luan River. I heard that there is a mountain nearby. There are two strange stones on the mountain, standing abruptly. If the strange tower standing on the two stones, you can see it all over the place." Enjoy the view of the mountains.”

After Wang Pang finished speaking, Yelu Hongji laughed loudly: "I said that you, a Song countryman, have a fantastic idea! That mountain is called Taizi Mountain, and there are indeed two strange stones standing side by side on the mountain, and the two stones are as high as More than a dozen battles, surrounded by bare cliffs, impossible to climb up, and the surrounding area is even more empty. If you fight there and besieged, you won’t even be able to hide. Let alone fly up stones to build some kind of tower.”

When Wang Pang heard this, he was surprised. He thought about the vicinity of the Luan River for a long time, and heard that there were two strange stones with legends on Mount Taizi.Moreover, Wang Pang in his previous life had been to Rehe, and the name Rehe had long been re-planned as Chengde. There is a mountain famous for these two pagodas, called Shuangta Mountain.And Wang Bang knew that the pagoda was indeed a building of the Liao Dynasty. Could it be that there is no pagoda at this time?Who built that tower?

He thought about what Yelu Hongji said, if the place was besieged, there would be no place to hide, since there was no tower, I would build it.Otherwise, how could I let this kid escape safely in the chaos, and how could I convince him to lend me a soldier?

"Emperor Liao, you say I have a whimsical idea, but I don't think that since you can look around on the strange rock, it's not a bad idea to build a pagoda on it." Wang Pang's tone seemed a little arrogant.

Yelu Hongji also felt that what Wang Pang said was exaggerated, he said with a smile: "Someone tried to dig holes in the rock wall and climb up the rock, and none of the ten people could climb it, let alone transport bricks and wood. Stone up."

Wang Pang glanced at Yelu Hongji, thinking that he had done a lot of impressive things in the past, but he hadn’t left an eternal mystery, so Wang Pang decided to make this big joke, which would make future generations dumbfounded. .Moreover, he had concluded that Yelu Zongyuan must choose this place to launch a rebellion.

Wang Pang himself thought that he could persuade Yelu Hongji not to go to Rehe, but then he would not get evidence of Yelu Zongyuan's rebellion.How can you get a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's den? Didn't Li Liangzuo of Xixia also hit a wall first before he was convinced of himself? "If I can build pagodas on those two strange stones that are more than ten feet high, will the Emperor of Liao be willing to borrow troops?" The king generously sent Yelu Hongji's army.

Yelu Hongji was amused in his heart, he really didn't look down on Wang Pang, the tower more than ten feet high, surrounded by smooth and slippery, unless heavenly soldiers and generals flew up, since Wang Pang made this request, let him try: "Okay! If you can do it, let alone lending you soldiers, I will also carve words on the stone wall, Immortal Wang! Let your name be remembered in future generations!"

Wang Pang snickered in his heart, before he crossed the twin towers in his previous life, he knew that one side had engraved words, Immortal Wang.It turned out that these three words came from this way, and they were talking about myself!

He paused slightly and said, "However, I have one condition."

"Does Wang Shilang have to go back on his word?" Yelu Hongji didn't budge at this moment.

"Emperor Liao despises me, and I, Wang, will never do anything to go back on my word. The request I want to make is easy for Emperor Liao to fulfill." Wang Pang said decisively.

"Then let's talk about it." Yelu Hongji said, thinking that the king didn't make any harsh demands, and in the end he couldn't make it until I didn't cooperate.

But Wang Pang said: "I want a minister to cooperate with me in this matter, and I don't need your close ministers. When doing this, we must keep it strictly confidential!"

Yelu Hongji saw that Wang Pangti's request was not too much, so he said: "I promise you, who do you say will cooperate with you!"

"Xin Zan!" Wang Bang said the name Xin Zan.
