Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 224: My son is benevolent and filial, and has the appearance of a ruler of the country.
The sometimes disgusting thing about holding the emperor hostage to order the princes is that the other party not only occupies a righteous position, but you can't beat him when you want to, just like Cao Cao after the Battle of Guandu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

After the death of Lord Xia, his youngest son who stayed in Xingqing Mansion was raised as the crown prince. This was also Liu Ling's intention. Later, Empress Dowager Yelu led her army on several expeditions, almost always taking the prince with her. Liu Ling thought about it in private and felt that this boy was definitely a tough master.

With the conditions in ancient times, the bumps on the road, and the acclimatization, the boy was not killed.

Empress Dowager Yelu led her army to station not far from the main camp of King Han. After learning about King Han's order, she sat in the tent and stared blankly for a while before replying: "I understand."

The mother of Prince Li Renxiao was from the Cao family and her family was Han; she was later brought back to Yunzhong by Liu Ling and gave birth to a daughter.

Now the nominal mother of the crown prince Li Renxiao is the Queen Mother Yelu. Once the prince ascends the throne, he is only a two or three-year-old child, so the Queen Mother Yelu will naturally continue to "listen to politics behind the curtain."

But this means that the mother and son will have no way out, and the Great Xia Kingdom will fall apart in the blink of an eye.

but.
What does this have to do with her?

"Someone is coming."

"My servant is here, what do you want me to do?"

The escorting army was stopped outside the camp. The chariot Queen Mother Yelu was riding could enter the outer camp. Once she got deeper, she could only get off the carriage herself, hug the prince and walk towards the Chinese army camp, followed by a team. maid.

"Bring His Highness over here."

Li Renxiao was a little at a loss. His eyes shifted from his mother to the civil servants wearing crimson official robes. Most of the latter had cold and old faces, unlike the usual beautiful palace maids who would smile when they saw him.

Queen Mother Yelu looked down at the child, put him on the ground, and pushed him forward gently.

Outside the Han army camp, when Queen Mother Yelu's team arrived, the guard at the door was checking her identity. Naturally, she didn't dare to look up at the Queen Mother's carriage, but she still had to check the prince.

The Lord of Xia had been canonized by the Liao Kingdom and could claim the title of emperor, which was considered justifiable. But Liu Ling erased the throne with just a few words, and said calmly: "Let him come over and show me."

In the past, it seemed that it was not so strict.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Okay."

In the handsome tent, a man in black royal uniform sat on a chair and waited. In front of him were eight civil servants divided into two rows. After the announcement, the civil servants bowed to Queen Mother Yelu.

Generally speaking, the younger you are, the faster you grow. Although Li Renxiao is more than two years old, he still looks very thin and needs someone to hold him, but his eyes look particularly bright. He stood on the ground, looked back at Queen Mother Yelu, and called out hesitantly: "Queen Mother."

He slowly turned his head and looked at the man sitting in front of him. The latter was wearing a solemn black royal robe, with a cloud pattern on his waist and a dragon embroidered on his chest and shoulders.

The latter stood still and whispered: "Go."

"I've met the Queen Mother."

Liu Ling looked up at her and said directly: "After Wu Lahai City is captured, regardless of whether Brother Richard and others will lead an army to attack, he will have to ascend the throne and claim the title of Lord of the country at that time."

The two or three-year-old child, held in the arms of the palace maid, innocently looked at the "Han" flag flying above his head, making a sound of "ahhhhhh", and seemed to find it fun again, so he stretched out his little hand to reach it.

The guard didn't dare to reach out and touch him. After all, the other person was still a baby with the status of a prince. He only took one look and waved to let him go.

The momentum was overwhelming like a mountain.

Children's feelings are very keen. They may not be able to distinguish between good and evil, but they can clearly feel the existence of some things.

Because of their status and power, it is easy for adults to feel surrender or awe to a big man, but for children, the person who can really make them feel scared is a person with a real aura that can intimidate them. For example, in the fairy tale about the emperor's new clothes, it may seem ridiculous, but how powerful will an emperor be who can make the entire court and the people in the city afraid to tell the truth in public and cooperate with his acting?
Even so, a child still dares to call out this scandal to his face, because he doesn't understand anything and will not be afraid of an old man without clothes.

Liu Ling just looked at him calmly, waiting for him to speak.

A two-year-old child should already be able to talk.

At first glance, Li Renxiao felt that this man made him very intimidated and frightened. He clenched his little hands, feeling a little embarrassed, but he kept his head raised from beginning to end.

The only people he saw in the palace were usually nuns and maids. Even in the army, these women came to serve him. He never saw an adult man. After all, his "father" died when he was one year old. .

Just the look in the eyes of the man in front of him made Li Renxiao feel a feeling that was obviously different from seeing those women in his childish heart.

Fear, surrender, worship.

He remembered the look in his mother's eyes again. After hesitating for a moment, he looked up at Liu Ling and called out timidly:

"My son, please pay homage to your father."

Liu Ling's eyes moved slightly and he looked at Queen Mother Yelu. The latter shook his head and said that he did not teach her, so he couldn't help but smile. Seeing him smiling, Li Renxiao's voice suddenly became hoarse and he looked at him with some fear.

"Be good, call me again."

Brother Richard, the king of Jin, slashed his knife on the table, and at the same time roared at the generals below who advised him to act with caution: "The Queen Mother is traitorous. I am now leading an army to conquer the country, and you actually say that you can't do it. Is it because you want to do it?" Can’t I personally go to her and claim to be my son?”

"Your Majesty," a commander in chief replied in a deep voice: "If the Queen Mother had only one army, I would naturally dare to lead the army to fight. But now that the Han army is approaching the desert, it is not a good opportunity to fight."

"Isn't this a good time?"

Brother Richard laughed angrily and said angrily: "Then tell me when is the good opportunity."

Du Tongjun lowered his head and whispered: "Three years ago."

"Three years ago, ah, you him."

Brother Richard's throat felt as if someone had pinched him, and he could no longer utter a single word. The more flexible generals around him also felt their faces getting hot at this time.

Three years ago, Liu Ling led more than 10,000 Zhenyuan troops through the desert from east to west, and came to Xingqing Mansion, the Xia capital. He forced the Xia people in the city to hand over money and food and the women to atone for their sins. After that, they built Beijing temples, sealed Helan Mountain, and erected monuments. Celebrate.

At that time, the Zhenyuan Army came from afar and was extremely tired. Its strength was less than 10,000. Compared with the current Han Army, it was indeed not on the same level. The Xia people were discouraged from that time. Empress Dowager Yelu was able to gain a foothold in the court and even led the Xia army on several expeditions to aid Liu Ling, all because of the residual power of that battle.

King Jin was so angry that he couldn't say a word. After holding it in for a while, he actually said: "What can she, Yelu Nanxian, give to the King of Han? What can't I give to the King of Han? At worst, go and tell the King of Han that I am willing to serve him." As an uncle, from now on, Shang Dao will let him come in."

Du Tongjun shook his head.

The Queen Mother Yelu could also say the same conditions that her own king mentioned. What's more, she was very charming and charming. What she could offer the King of Han was not only business, but also other ways that he could naturally let the King of Han follow.

"Report!"

Brother Richard looked at the curtain with boredom. A general came over with a letter in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the King of Han sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he wants your Majesty to accept it personally."
