King of Song

Chapter 613

"Yixin, go hunting with me!"

Yelu Hongji didn't change his playfulness, his son took care of the Jurchens' affairs, and he was happy to be at ease.

"Your Majesty has an order. I should have accompanied you, but there are still some matters to be dealt with. I'm afraid..." Yelu Yixin actually declined the emperor's invitation, which is a rare situation.

"Oh, then go get busy!" Yelu Hongji couldn't hide his disappointment, but he also knew that state affairs were the most important thing, and he could play whatever he wanted, but the courtiers couldn't sit on their own, they had to stay in their positions and manage their affairs.

Yelu Yixin's expression changed, and he said with a smile: "Although I can't go, I can recommend someone to accompany me, and I'm sure it will make His Majesty happy."

"Oh? Who is it?" Yelu Hongji suddenly became interested.

Yelu Yixin gave an order, and soon a person appeared in front of Lord Liao.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with good looks, although outstanding, is definitely not as beautiful as Queen Xiao Guanyin.However, although Xiao Guanyin is beautiful, she has a smart temperament, elegant and noble, and he knows everything about poetry, books, rituals and music.If it is placed in the Central Plains, it is a rare talented woman, a graceful and dignified queen.

It's just that the boldness and enthusiasm that a grassland girl should have is missing, especially Yelu Hongji's love of hunting and playing, which is actually not quite to his taste.In the early years, he was obsessed with her beauty, but now Xiao Guanyin is in her 30s, and she is gradually aging and fading.In addition, he is too virtuous on weekdays, and often advises him to play less and care about state affairs.

Yelu Hongji also gradually alienated Xiao Guanyin a little bit, usually he respected him more, and the relationship between husband and wife was already very indifferent.The woman in front of me at this moment has a good appearance, with a frown and a smile, she is bright and moving, and she is wearing a red dress with enthusiasm.He is the emperor, in his 40s, how can he not be tempted by the sight of beauty?Especially a woman with such an appetite.

"What's your name?"

"Return to Your Majesty, my name is Xiao Tansi!"

Yelu Yixin introduced without losing the opportunity: "This is the daughter of King Xiao Bili of Wei, the sister of Xiao Chouwo, a member of the Privy Council, and Xiao Xia, the captain-in-law. The day before yesterday, I was a guest at the minister's house, and I saw that Tan Si was good at riding and shooting. Lively and clever, it should be no problem to serve His Majesty hunting."

Before Xiao Bieli was assassinated, he was originally named King Zhao, but after Yelu Yixin was named King Zhao in Jin Dynasty, he changed his title to King Wei.He is an important figure in the Xiao family of the descendant family of the Liao Kingdom, with a high status.

"So that's the case, then go hunting with me today, let me see your ability!" Yelu Hongji was very interested in the bright and lively Xiao Tansi.

"The little girl will not disappoint His Majesty!" Xiao Tansi giggled, which was even more touching.

Seeing Yelu Hongji and Xiao Tansi going out together, Yelu Yixin showed a smug smile.If you want to deal with the prince, you must start from the foundation.

The prince and the queen are closely related, and both are prosperous and both are prosperous, and both are lost.Xiao Guanyin is beautiful and virtuous, but she is not without flaws.She has already placed someone beside her, shaking the foundation is only one aspect, and there must be someone who can replace her.

The Khitan empresses are all from the Xiao family, Xiao Guanyin is, and so is Xiao Tansi!As long as the surname is Xiao, she is also qualified and has the opportunity to become the empress of the Liao Kingdom, not to mention that Xiao Tansi's father and brother are both high-ranking and powerful.

Why not set up an opponent for Xiao Guanyin, divide the power of the descendants, win over his father and brother for his own use, and kill three birds with one stone?
Yelujun was in the limelight, but there was nothing he could do.But on Xiao Guanyin's side, the foundation is not as stable as imagined, and there is absolutely an opportunity to take advantage of it!

How is the prince?What about the Queen?

No one will show mercy to those who stand in my way!Yelv Yixin smiled triumphantly, his eyes were so cold that it was scary!
Xiao Tansi, don't let me down!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yelujun didn't know that Yelv Yixin had sharpened his sword and was about to attack his mother and son.

In his heart, he still remembered the matter of Liaodong. The establishment of trade routes by the Jurchens and the exchange of special products for weapons were obviously the work of the people of the Song Dynasty.Who is it?He had already inquired, and it was Zhao Zhao's original strategy to go to Goryeo to win over Liao.

It's him!

It really is a chess match!Yelujun's heart was surging and he was a little excited.

He has always regarded Zhao Zhao as an opponent. Now that he has become King Qin, he may become Emperor Song in the future.Possess an identity equal to oneself.

Yelujun knew that Zhao Zhao was a very powerful person, and he must have great ambitions.The Song Dynasty all had the wish and goal of recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, how could Zhao Zhao be an exception?What's more, he is still a prince, so he has this responsibility.The most important thing is strength. In less than a year, he beat the Tubo people to the ground and took half of Hehuang.

In an instant, Lanzhou was regained, making the Xixia people frightened.It fully proves that Zhao Zhao's military attainments are very high.This is a formidable opponent. Once he gains power in Song Dynasty, it is imperative to regain Yanyun.

Since the day when Shi Jingtang handed it over to them, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun had become the most developed area of ​​agriculture, commerce and industry in the Liao Kingdom, and it was also their base. How could it be easily handed over to the Song Dynasty?If the people of the Song Dynasty wanted to rob them, they could only fight fiercely with them.

What's more, he himself is ambitious, and he has long thought of invading the Song Dynasty in the south, stepping on the Central Plains with iron hooves, and drinking horses by the Yellow River.Sooner or later, there will be conflicts with Zhao Zhao.

Zhao Xu, the current emperor of the Song Dynasty, doesn't pay much attention to him at all. Zhao Zhao is the real and terrible enemy.

It's rare to meet your opponent!Yelujun is very interested in a North-South confrontation with Zhao Zhaolai!

It's just that now is not the time, the time to go south is wrong!

But the duel has actually begun, and Zhao Zhao has actually made a move!With the help of the Jurchens and the Koreans, to burn the backyard of the Liao Kingdom?

Hmph, it's a trivial matter, after the fire is extinguished, we will confront each other head-on!

Yelujun is looking forward to it!
It's just that he was still thinking about this in his heart, when he just turned the corner, a light figure rushed over.Taking a closer look, it is the younger sister Yelu Tri, who is now more and more succulent, with fair skin, inherited the beauty of her mother, elegant and charming, she is already an out-and-out little beauty.

"Brother Emperor, are you back?" Seeing his elder brother, Yerutri smiled happily.

"Well, are you okay?"

"Ok!"

"What about the queen mother?"

"It's all good, the queen mother loves Yanxi very much after the emperor's wife gave birth to Yanxi Palace!"

Not long ago, Yelujun's concubine Xiao Shi gave birth to a son, named Yelu Yanxi (the last emperor of the Liao Kingdom, Emperor Tianzuo in history).Yelu Hongji, the current Lord of the Liao Dynasty, has only one son, Yelujun, who was born as the little emperor's grandson, which is of great significance.

Yelu Juncai is already a father, which means that the prince has grown up.It was precisely because of this that Yelu Yixin became more and more uneasy, so he made up his mind to arrange it secretly.

"That's good!" Yelujun and his younger sister Terry walked to the palace of their mother Xiao Guanyin.

Yelv Tri took his brother's arm and asked with a smile, "Brother Emperor, I heard that Lin Zhao has become the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and now he has changed his name to Zhao Zhao, right?"

"That's right!" Yelu Jun's expression suddenly changed slightly.

"Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the prince of the Song Dynasty, with such a valuable status." Yelute was beaming with joy, because he always felt that he was far away from Zhao Zhao.There is no possibility that the Liao princess and the courtiers of the Song Dynasty will ever get together, after all, their identities are too different.But it's different now, between the prince of Song Dynasty and the princess of Liao Kingdom...

After following his mother for a long time, Yelu Tri has a good knowledge of literature and history. When he saw the records of the royal family members of the two countries getting married, he seemed to see hope, and his little heart was beating non-stop.

Seeing his sister's expression like this, Yelujun knew in his heart that there was no possibility between his sister and Zhao Zhao.He is his opponent, and in the future it will be a life-and-death situation, how can he let his sister have anything to do with him?In ancient times, only weak countries marry their daughters to strong ones. How can the Princess of Daliao marry the Song Dynasty?
Yelujun didn't understand, but they met a few years ago, even if there was a life-saving grace, it should have passed by long ago. Why does my sister always miss Zhao Zhao?He couldn't figure out, what was so extraordinary about Zhao Zhao that made his little sister fascinated?But she must stop thinking about it as soon as possible.

"Terry, don't think about it, it's impossible!" Yelujun said in a deep voice: "Song and Liao are incompatible, and there will eventually be a gap, not to mention that he already has a wife. Besides, Song and Liao are brothers. In terms of seniority, Zhao Zhao can be regarded as your elder..."

"Ah?" Being rejected so bluntly by his brother, Yerutri was suddenly at a loss for a long time.

"Don't think about it before it's too late, it will never be possible! Remember, you are the princess of the Liao Kingdom, and you are not the same person as him." Seeing his sister's bewildered expression, Yelujun shook his head helplessly.I'm going to be blunt today, I don't know if it will work?My younger sister is getting older, if she acts stupid like this again, she will be laughed at and become a royal scandal.

Ignoring his younger sister, she needed to think calmly by herself, so Yelujun went directly to see his mother Xiao Guanyin, and he felt that he needed to communicate with his mother about this matter.After all, it is a girl, and it may be more convenient for mother and daughter to communicate.

"Meet the Queen Mother!"

"Jun'er is back? Are things going well in Liaodong?"

"It's okay, but I have to go to Liaoyang Mansion again!"

"Alright!"

After a few homely words, Yelujun said in a deep voice: "Queen, there is something that I need to ask you to pay more attention to!"

"What's the matter?"

"That year there was a Song envoy Zhao Zhao who rescued you and your sister, and now it is confirmed that he is the son of Song Renzong..." Yelujun said: "It's strange, Terry has a good impression of this Zhao Zhao, and even today he can't forget it. Song and Liao are different, it is very inappropriate, and I have to trouble my mother to persuade and restrain her!"

After speaking, Yelujun was surprised to find that his mother didn't respond, and seemed to be lost in thought.

"Mother, don't worry. Terry is still young. If you persuade him more, you should be able to understand." Yelujun didn't know why, thinking that his mother was worried about his sister, and complained: "It's that Zhao Zhao, who somehow made Terry miss..."

Hearing the word Zhao Zhao, Xiao Guanyin suddenly trembled.Yelujun was also surprised, looked at his mother suspiciously, and asked, "What's the matter, queen mother?"

"No, no... nothing!" When Xiao Guanyin replied, he was inexplicably flustered.As soon as he looked up, he saw his son's sharp eyes, and his face flushed instantly...
