The best eunuch

Honghe Temple.It is not a temple, but a place specially used by ancient officials to receive foreign guests.It's kind of like a state hotel.

After Yelu Aolu was sent here casually by Zhao Ji, he already knew that his mission had failed this time, and he was disheartened and prepared to return home tomorrow.As Liang Xin said, the Liao Kingdom is now in the midst of internal and external troubles, and his father, Emperor Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, is in deteriorating health due to repeated blows.

Yelu Aolu is the eldest son of the royal family. It stands to reason that he should be the prince of the Liao Kingdom and the person who will succeed the Liao Kingdom in the future.But his father, Emperor Yelu Yanxi, had always favored his second son Yelu Yali, King of Liang.Thinking of Yelu Yali Yelu Aolu has a feeling of being stuck in the throat.

Why was Yelu Yali the King of Liang at the age of seven?Why did Yelu Yali take the daughter of Yelu Dilie as his wife?Why can Yelu Yali's teacher be the No.1 Liao civil servant, Terela?Why?Why?

While Yelu Aolu was in a trance, his subordinate Azimo knocked on the door and reported: "His Royal Highness, the admiral Liang Xin of the Great Song Xichang palm print asks to see you."

"Admiral of the Xichang palm print?" Yelu Aolu suddenly thought that the person who came here should be the person who exposed his lie before.Originally, he came here to ask for additional coins for three purposes.One is to collect old coins for war expenses, the other is to deter the Song Dynasty so that they dare not act rashly, and the third is to force the Song Dynasty to agree to the Liao army's excuse. Once the war with the Jin State is unfavorable, the Liao State can concentrate its forces to capture the northern part of the Song Dynasty. , Occupying one-third of the territory of the Song Dynasty as the territory of the Liao Kingdom.

It's a pity that these three purposes were resolved by the inconspicuous young man with a few words, and at the same time, Yelu Aolu almost lost his life in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Why is he here?" Yelu Aolu whispered to himself, after thinking for a while, he felt that he saw Liang Xin, so he said to Azimo outside the door: "Please come in."

"Yes! Your Highness." Azimo stepped back in response, and quickly knocked on the door and pushed it open to bring Liang Xin into the room.Yelu Aolu looked at Liang Xin, and said in his heart: "It really is him."

Liang Xin smiled faintly when he saw Yelu Aolu, and then said: "Don't talk, because time is running out, and I don't have time to explain so much to you. Listen to me carefully.

There are many civil servants in the Song Dynasty who want to unite with the Jin to fight against the Liao Dynasty. Last night, you were a fool. B came to ask for an increase in the old coins and angered our emperor. The emperor has already approved the proposal of uniting with the Jin to fight against the Liao Dynasty. The consuls of Si Dian's foreign library have already set out on their way to the Kingdom of Jin.Once they sign a contract with Jin Guo, it will be too late.

Now I come to you because I personally don't like your Liao country, but I don't like the Jin country even more.Instead of cooperating with the Jin country, I think it is safer to cooperate with your Liao country.Now I just hope that you can promise that if I, Song Dynasty, are willing to support you in resisting the Kingdom of Jin, then you will return Youyun Sixteen Prefectures to us, cancel all the old coins and respect our Song Emperor as the emperor, and represent the Liao Kingdom emperor to the ministers . "

"Would you like it?" Liang Xinyu didn't stop for a few words, and Yelu Aolu was sweating behind his back.

After thinking for a while, Yelu Aolu nodded and said: "The conditions you mentioned are personally acceptable to me, but I can't make the decision to agree to you. I have to go back to Beijing and ask my father?"

"You still have to ask Yelu Yanxi?" Liang Xin frowned and shook his head, "No, it's too late." After a moment of silence, Liang Xin looked at Yelu Aolu and said, "You said that you personally agree with what I just said What are the conditions?"

"Yes. This king can accept it, but..."

"No but. Just accept it." Liang Xin sneered and said, "If my information is correct, your father Yelu Yanxi should be dying soon. And you don't seem to be very favored by your father. Bar?"

"You..." Yelu Aolu looked at Liang Xin and was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After opening his mouth for a long time, Yelu Aolu murmured to himself: "It turns out that your intelligence organization in the Song Dynasty is so powerful that even these things all know?"

"Hehe. You misunderstood. The fact that Yelu Yanxi's health is not good is indeed obtained from intelligence, but the fact that you are not favored is my guess. In fact, anyone who thinks about it can know this. Now you have domestic and foreign troubles in Liao , your father may go west of Hexi at any time. Your father sent you to Beijing at such a time, obviously because he was afraid that you would make trouble if the heir was to be replaced." Liang Xin's words were understated but in the There was an uproar in Yelu Aolu's heart.

Yelu Aolu looked at Liang Xin in a daze, and suddenly he sat back on the stool weakly and said to himself: "Father, why is this so, why is this so. I am also your son, why do you want to Do you prefer the second younger brother?"

Liang Xin patted Yelu Aolu on the shoulder, and said softly: "Okay. Now is not the time to be sad. There are many things in this world that we want to have. If others don't give it to us, what should we do as a strong person? ?”

Yelu Aolu thought about it according to Liang Xin's train of thought. When he thought of Liang Xin's answer, Yelu Aolu was shocked. He looked up at Liang Xin and said, "Go grab it?"

"Yes! Go grab it!" Liang Xin said with a teachable expression on his face: "As long as you become the leader of the Liao Kingdom, you can make the decision on the conditions I just mentioned. Don't worry, I will Will support you. Da Song will support you."

"Okay! Then I will rely on the admiral for everything." Yelu Aolu got up and bowed respectfully with his right fist on his left chest.This is the highest etiquette of the Khitan people saluting, representing the highest respect and the greatest recognition. ,

After agreeing with Yelu Aolu, Liang Xin immediately brought Yelu Aolu into the palace non-stop.Before entering the palace, Liang Xin went to Tianxiang Tower to have a brief chat with Qin Qing and Wan Qiyun.

into the palace.Liang Xin took Yelu Aolu directly to the Imperial Study Room of Yanfu Palace.After entering the imperial study room, Liang Xin didn't explain too much to Zhao Ji, because Yang Jian had already lobbied Zhao Ji for a long time before that.

After Liang Xin took Yelu Aolu in, he gave Yelu Aolu a wink.Yelu Aolu immediately knelt down in front of Zhao Ji and said: "The Emperor of Song Dynasty is here, and my minister Yelu Aolu kowtowed to the emperor. May my emperor live long and live long."

"Well, let's get back down." Zhao Ji nodded slightly reservedly, but actually his blood was surging with excitement.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yelu Aolu stood up, and Zhao Ji asked, "Did Liang Qing's family negotiate the terms with you?"

Yelu Aolu nodded and said: "It's settled. As long as our Liao Kingdom can resist the Jin Kingdom's invasion this time, we will definitely return the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to the Song Kingdom. We will respect the emperor of the Song Dynasty as the king, and our Liao emperor as the minister. The two countries have been friendly for generations."

"Well. A gentleman must keep his word. You are the prince of a country, so you must keep in mind what you said today." Zhao Ji thought for a while and looked at Liang Xin and said, "Well, Liang Qing's family, go down and prepare. I will assign When you go on a mission to the Liao Kingdom, you sign an agreement with the Credentials. Whoever comes back first, you or Liang Shicheng, I will approve the agreement."

"Yes! I obey the order." Liang Xin knelt on one knee and replied.He used to call himself a slave, but now that the emperor calls him the Qing family, he naturally calls himself a humble minister.After all, it is a modern age, and it is not about self-esteem.No one likes to call himself a slave to an old man every day.

On the way to Zhangzhou, Liang Shicheng, Wang Fu, three envoys from the Kingdom of Jin and dozens of guards brought by both sides were galloping.In order to pursue speed, Wang Fu took the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin to follow the road of the Song Dynasty.Along the way, the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin secretly memorized these roads so that they could use them when attacking the Song Dynasty in the future.

After dozens of people walked out of Zhangzhou, they were exhausted, so they chose to drink tea at a tea shop outside the city.At this moment, a group of men in black with long knives came galloping on fast horses, and when they saw Liang Shicheng and others in the later stage, a female voice pointed at Liang Shicheng and them and shouted coquettishly: "A group of traitors and golden dogs! Kill them for me!" !"
