Wang Luo's expression was a little strange, and he said sarcastically: "They are really capable of deceiving themselves! Although King Yan has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, his authority has already surpassed that of the emperor by an unknown amount! The emperor actually has the nerve to take credit for King Yan's achievements. For myself! But what is the use of saying this other than to comfort me?" Wang Qinruo sneered: "It's not just to comfort you!" Then he frowned and shook his head, "It's okay if they want to comfort us, but ours Life will be difficult!" Wang Luo's heart moved, and he realized what his father was worried about. Their family was ordered by the Khitans to return to the Song Dynasty. Before that, they all wrote an oath to the Khitans. They will be controlled by the Khitans for the rest of their lives. Some people may say that it is just an oath. That's all, there are many excuses to explain, so what's there to worry about? However, the previous actions of Wang Qinruo and his son have caused anger and resentment. It was only because of the emperor's stupidity that they were not punished as they should be. But once their oath to the Khitan people is announced, their crimes will no longer be able to be punished. Cover up, even if the emperor wants to protect them, it is forced by the situation and it is impossible to do so. In this case, one can imagine what will happen to Wang Qinruo's family. Death without a burial place is probably an easy thing.
If Wang Qinruo's family did not obey the orders of the Khitans and sow discord between Yan Yun and the Song Dynasty, it could be said to be a natural outcome and there would be no suspense. However, if they followed the instructions of the Khitan people and continued to provoke, the attitudes of the ministers and the emperor were obviously very different from before. They all wanted to be on good terms with Yan Yun, and no one wanted to offend Yan Yun and get into trouble. In this situation If he continues to seduce the emperor, not only will he not be able to achieve the desired results, he is afraid that the emperor will eventually become completely disgusted with him and abandon him. Although Wang Qinruo has a high and powerful position, everything was given by the emperor. Once the emperor abandons them, he will be nothing. This is not the worst thing. The struggle for power has been extremely cruel since ancient times. When you are prominent, everyone will naturally compete to flatter you. But once you lose power, those countless flatterers will probably turn around and compete for you. To add insult to injury, his whole family may die without a burial place! In short, no matter what the Qin family chooses, it will not end well!
Wang Luo thought about the terrible thing, and his face showed a look of horror. His cheeks, which were originally white and red, were now whiter than white paper. Suddenly coming back to his senses, he quickly looked at his father and asked anxiously: "Father, what should we do? We can't just sit back and wait for death!"
Wang Qinruo frowned and said, "I'm just worrying about this matter! But if you don't sit back and wait for death, it's easy to say but hard to do!" He glanced at Wang Luo and said, "My son, it's like we are sailing in the middle of the river. , but was blocked by two huge iron ropes, and could neither move forward nor retreat! Hey, I really don’t know what to do!" Wang Luo frowned, thinking hard about a strategy to get out of trouble. …
Yang Peng and others walked towards the north gate of Tianjing New City under hundreds of guards. The pedestrians and businessmen on the official road stopped one after another. They had already heard the good news and couldn't help but cheer loudly at the King of Yan's flag. One wave after another, Yang Peng and the others were sent to the city gate. More and more people gathered on both sides of the official road, and the cheers became louder and louder. Everyone looked extremely excited.
War drums sounded loudly on the city wall, rumbling straight into the sky. The clouds that originally blocked the sun seemed to be gradually shaken by the huge drums, and thousands of golden lights fell down, like a miracle.
Yang Peng and his party walked to the city gate. The civil and military officials and city defense officers who had been waiting at the gate early in the morning knelt down to greet them under the leadership of Zhang Xiang. Han Bing was the first to clasp his fists and said: "I will lead all the civil and military officials and soldiers who are staying in Tianjing New City." Welcome the triumphant return of King Yan!" His eyes were full of brilliant colors, and there was infinite tenderness in the infinite admiration. All the civil and military officials and soldiers followed and worshiped together: "Welcome to King Yan for his triumphant return!"
Yang Peng got off his horse, walked up to Han Bing in three steps, and helped her up. When their eyes met, they couldn't help but feel affection. Yang Peng said to the people kneeling on the ground: "Everyone, get up." Everyone said in unison: "Thank you, King Yan!" Then they stood up, but they stood with their heads bowed.
At this time, Yelu Hanyu, Yang Jiumei and Yang Erya came forward with four horses, and Jiang Li, the commander of the Feifeng Female Guard, also led Han Bing's horse up. When girls meet, they inevitably exchange greetings. Han Bing said: "Let's talk about it when we get back!" Yang Peng got on his horse first, and the other girls followed suit. Yang Peng rode towards the city gate, with the women riding horses closely beside and behind him. Guards, civil and military officials, and city defense officers and soldiers crowded behind and behind them.
Entering the city, huge cheers came to our faces like a sea tide, and the people shouted 'King Yan' hoarsely. The two words 'King Yan' surged like a sea tide and rolled like thunder; the straight and wide streets were filled with excitement. The people were so crowded that there was only the width of a carriage space, and the excited people still squeezed desperately into the middle of the street. The crazy energy was simply to see the god they worshiped devoutly in their hearts; The spear used all its strength to resist the surging crowd, barely maintaining the width of the passage about the size of a carriage space.
Yang Peng and others were surprised when they saw such a scene. The group of people walked forward, walking among the sea of people, receiving the admiration of thousands of people, feeling the supreme glory, and the people following Yang Peng couldn't help but feel extremely glorious, and everyone showed extremely excited expressions. I feel that this time in my life will not be in vain!
Later that day, Prince Yan's Mansion authorized the local government of Tianjing New City to open the official warehouse and take out wine and meat to reward the people in the city. Suddenly there was thunderous cheers and the fragrance of wine and meat everywhere. In the backyard of Prince Yan's Mansion, a large family banquet was set up. King Yang Peng and his concubines were drinking and chatting happily. The two children, Yang Rui and Yang Yinglong, were chattering and noisy at the banquet. The family banquet added a bit of joy to the atmosphere, and Zhao You was like a little grown-up, greeting this and that, and was very busy, making everyone laugh from time to time. Concubine Mu sat down Next to her cousin Chai Yonghui, her beautiful eyes always drift towards Yang Peng, showing a moving look.
For several days in a row, Yang Peng didn't go anywhere, and didn't pay attention to anything. He stayed at home with his lovely wife, concubine, and a pair of children. Concubine Mu often brought her son Zhao You over, and she was very close to Yang Peng's family. , just like a family.
This morning, Yang Peng, his concubines, Concubine Mu, and Zhao You had fun fishing by the lake in the backyard. Zhao You had already become a mess with Yang Rui and Yang Yinglong, just like three noisy and naughty puppies. They were playing and playing on the grass; Concubine Mu was chatting wordlessly with Chai Yonghui, but her beautiful eyes drifted towards Yang Peng intentionally or unintentionally; Yang Peng was talking to Zhao Lihua, maybe they were telling social jokes. Zhao Lihua couldn't help but laugh out loud from time to time; Yang Tong and Zhao Jinxi sat together and chatted, their charming faces showing charming smiles from time to time, and their eyes moving, which was heart-stirring; Yelu Hanyu, Han Bing, Yang Erya and Yang Jiumei It was another pile. Yang Erya was describing the course of the war. Yang Jiumei added from time to time. Han Bing listened very seriously and interrupted from time to time to ask about some situations. Yelu Hanyu looked at the three women with a smile, but did not participate in the discussion. Yedi Guanyin sat alone under a willow tree not far away, staring at the clear, mirror-like lake in front of her in a daze. From time to time, she picked up a stone and threw it into the lake. In this home, she seemed a little lonely.
Zhao You played with Yang Rui and Yang Yinglong for a while. Yang Rui and Yang Yinglong started playing and competed in crawling on the grass. Zhao You found it boring, so he did not participate and planned to return to his mother and aunt. At this time, he inadvertently saw Yeqi Guanyin sitting alone under a willow tree in the distance. His heart moved, and then he walked over.
"Sister!" Zhao You came to Ye Qi Guanyin and called, looking at Ye Qi Guanyin with his big eyes. Yeyi Guanyin turned to look at him and asked, "If you don't go play, why are you here with me?" Zhao You sighed, sat down on the grass next to Yeyi Guanyin, and looked at the blue field in front of him. Hu Shui said: "Playing with those little guys is boring!" Yedi Guanyin felt funny and joked: "Turns out he is still a little adult!"
Zhao You puffed out his chest and looked like, 'Of course'. Ye Qi Guanyin thought he was really interesting and couldn't help but reach out and rub his little head. Zhao You quickly pushed Ye Qi Guanyin's palm away and said angrily: "Don't touch other people's heads, they won't grow tall!" Ye Qi Guanyin smiled and said: "Aren't you already an adult? Why are you still afraid of growing up? Not tall?" Zhao You said: "I am a little adult, not an adult. If you want to become a real adult, you have to grow taller!"
Ye Qi Guanyin laughed and said: "You are such a weird little guy!" He glanced at Chai Yonghui and Concubine Mu who were sitting far away talking, and said to Zhao You: "Go back to your mother, lest she be angry with you!"
Zhao You shook his head and said: "Sister must think that mother and aunt have hatred for sister. That's not the case. Although mother and aunt still have some knots in their hearts, since sister is the master's concubine, mother and aunt will definitely tolerate her. Yes." Ye Qi Guanyin's beautiful face showed an extremely proud look, she turned to look at the blue sky in the distance and said, "I don't care about this!"
Zhao You nodded as if he were a young adult, looked up at Yeyi Guanyin, and said, "Sister is the number one heroine in the world, so naturally she won't care about these things!" Yeyi Guanyin couldn't help laughing and turned her head. He took a look at Zhao You and asked curiously: "Who told you that I am the best heroine in the world?" Zhao You said: "Of course it is the master!" There was no hesitation when speaking, making people feel that what he said was true. Not fake!
Ye Qi Guanyin's pretty face turned slightly red, turned her head, and sighed softly, full of resentment. Zhao You said with a smile: "Master is the number one hero in the world, and my sister is the number one heroine in the world. This is a perfect match made in heaven!" Ye Qi Guanyin smiled, feeling very happy, and turned to look at Zhao You, asked: "Tell me, what do you want to ask me for?"
Zhao You asked with a blank look on his face: "Sister, what did you say?" Ye Qi Guanyin said angrily: "You are pretending to be stupid in front of me! You little guy has nothing to do and you are so sweet to me, don't you want something? ?”
Zhao You immediately looked serious and swore: "Conscience of heaven and earth, everything I said to my sister is from the bottom of my heart!" Ye Qi Guanyin said angrily: "You call me sister, isn't it lower than your mother and aunt? A generation? I am your master's concubine, your master's wife, and you actually call your master's wife sister. Is there such a reason in the world?" Zhao You grinned, looking naive, "I didn't expect this, I I just think my sister is so beautiful, so I naturally called her sister!" Then he bowed and said: "Sister, uh, if my aunt wants to punish me, my nephew is willing to accept it!"
Ye Qi Guanyin looked at Zhao You with bright eyes and said angrily: "You must have learned these glib words from your master!" Zhao You grinned, looked around, and lowered his voice: " Auntie, actually, both mother and aunt admire auntie very much and really want to be friends with you!"
Ye Qi Guanyin turned her head and glanced at the two sisters Chai Yonghui and Mu Guifei in the distance, then turned back and said to Zhao You: "Little guy, stop talking nonsense in front of me. It's strange that your mother and your aunt think that a woman like me is good!" In their hearts, I am just a foreign barbarian, and they look down upon me greatly!" Zhao You said quickly: "No!"
"What are you talking about?" Yang Peng's voice suddenly appeared behind the two of them. The two turned around and saw Yang Peng appearing behind them at some point. Zhao You said with a smile: "Master, my aunt and I were having a very interesting chat!" Ye Qi Guanyin turned her head and looked at the lake.
Yang Peng touched Zhao You's head, and Zhao You smiled and said, "Master, I won't interrupt you talking to your aunt!" Then he twisted his butt and ran towards his mother. At this time, the two little guys who were racing and crawling on the grass just now had been carried back by their mothers. Zhao Lihua had left their original place and was sitting with Chai Yonghui and Mu Guifei. The girls looked at each other. Glancing this way from time to time.
Ye Qi Guanyin said jokingly: "So many jealous eyes!" Yang Peng laughed, walked to Ye Qi Guanyin and sat down, picked up a stone and threw it far away, and it fell into the water with a plop in the distance. , the water rippled and broke the calmness of the lake.
Ye Qi Guanyin suddenly asked: "Have you thought about it?" Yang Peng looked sideways at Ye Qi Guanyin and asked with a smile: "What?" Ye Qi Guanyin turned his head and glanced in the distance or under a tree or on the grass. The beautiful women who were separated from each other withdrew their gaze and looked at Yang Peng,
He said jokingly: "There are so many women, don't you think it's time to establish a concubine to control them?" Yang Peng said with a smile: "How about I issue an order and canonize Guanyin as the concubine?" Ye Qi Guanyin Yang She raised her beautiful eyebrows, snorted, and said, "Don't tease me. As long as you dare to be canonized, I will accept it! Hum, she is just a concubine, am I still afraid?" Yang Peng held her delicate hand. , looked into her eyes and said affectionately: "What I said is true."
Ye Qi Guanyin's heart couldn't help but look at Yang Peng stupidly. After coming back to his senses, he turned his eyes away and looked at the lake, and said quietly: "I believe what you say, but, but I can't be the concubine!" Turning to look at Yang Peng, he said: "I believe what you say, but you want to be canonized I'm the Princess, I'm afraid it's not because you love me the most, but because you think I am the most suitable to be the Princess." He turned to look at the girls in the distance, withdrew his gaze, and continued: "Yang Tong is the first to follow you, and you should have the deepest feelings for her! No one can compare with her in this regard! But her birth is too humble, and she is obviously not suitable to be the powerful concubine of the Yan King. I am afraid she will become the world The laughing stock! And her talent is obviously not enough to be the princess!"
"Zhao Lihua, as the princess of the Zhao and Song royal family, this is very beneficial to you, but you will not take these advantages seriously. Making her a princess will certainly reduce a lot of resistance in the future southern expedition, but there is no In this regard, Yan Yun's powerful power can also accomplish the goal. In addition, Zhao Lihua is too arrogant. Although she is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she does not know how to coordinate interpersonal relationships. Therefore, she is not suitable." Yang Peng smiled and said quietly Listen quietly.
Ye Qi Guanyin glanced at Yang Peng and continued: "Chai Yonghui is actually the most suitable candidate. Regardless of birth or talent, she is more than capable, but she has huge flaws in her character. She is a man who only cares about herself. A woman with children has no interest in anything else. If she is forced to be the concubine and makes her suffer, the affairs of the palace and harem will definitely not be handled well!"
Yang Peng smiled, looked at Ye Qi Guanyin, and praised: "The Khitan princess is a Khitan princess after all. You already know their strengths and weaknesses!" Ye Qi Guanyin said: "What's so difficult about this? Although I don't live in the palace, I have seen them often during this period. If I see them a lot, I will naturally have a good understanding of each person's character, strengths and weaknesses."
Yang Peng smiled and said: "You continue talking." Yeqi Guanyin smoothed her hair on the temples and continued: "Apart from the above-mentioned girls, only Yelu Hanyu and I are qualified to become the concubines!" Look! He glanced at Yang Peng and said, "The two of us are equally talented in civil and military affairs. She is better at domestic affairs than me, and I am better at military strategy than her. In the words of the Han people, 'Chunlan Qiuju each is good at winning', but among them But there is a problem, that is, the Khitan people are now very powerful within Yanyun. Not to mention that all the legions are Khitan people, and even many officials from various places, including central officials, are Khitan people. If Yelu Hanyu becomes Yanyun again, Wang Zhengfei, I'm afraid that everyone in the world will feel that Yanyun will slowly become a country like the former Liao Dynasty. This will probably disappoint the Han people! It's just that people in the world feel this way. The most worrying thing is that the Khitans have gained After gaining huge power and status, I am afraid that I will be uneasy about the status quo, have delusions, and cause huge troubles! Therefore, from the perspective of power balance, Yelu Hanyu is not suitable!"
He smiled and said, "As for why I am suitable, the reason is very simple. My talents are sufficient for this responsibility! In addition, we Khitan people have no foundation within Yanyun, so there will never be problems like Yelu Hanyu. It can play a role in balancing the forces of all parties. Therefore, I am the most suitable candidate."
Yang Peng nodded, sighed, and said, "Although I really don't want to get anything utilitarian between us, we can't avoid it when it comes!"
Ye Qi Guanyin smiled lightly, stretched out her right hand and patted Yang Peng's cheek gently, as if a mother was comforting her child. Although the other women were chatting, their attention had never left Yang Peng and Ye Yi Guanyin. At this moment, when they saw Ye Yi Guanyin caressing their elder brother's cheek so intimately, they couldn't help but feel jealous, and some of them felt a little jealous. Some were filled with bitterness, some were filled with jealousy, and some were filled with lingering hatred. They just felt that Ye Qi Guanyin was really a shameless vixen.
Yang Peng said: "You said just now that you don't want to be the concubine. Why is that?"
Ye Qi Guanyin looked at Yang Peng infatuatedly and said, "Of course I really want to be your concubine! Well, I am the only one qualified for this!" Then his expression darkened, "But, I am a Khitan. I also led the Khitan people to invade the Central Plains before, killing too many people and offending the Han people. If you make me your royal concubine, it will be detrimental to your reputation." Yang Peng said: "Don't worry too much about this..." Ye Qi Guanyin shook his head. , with a resolute attitude: "Anyway, I must not cause any trouble to my elder brother, otherwise I will not rest in peace even if I die!" Yang Peng's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but hold Ye Qi Guanyin in his arms. In this way, other Her woman was even more jealous.
Yang Peng hugged Ye Qi Guanyin and said softly: "Guanyin, please move to the palace!" Ye Qi Guanyin shook his head and said: "I don't want to be jealous of other women! Isn't it because I miss my elder brother too much this time? No, I will never come in!"
Yang Peng knew that although Yedi Guanyin loved him infinitely, she had not let go of her pride. She was like a phoenix that looked down upon all the birds. If Yang Peng insisted that she move into the palace, she would eventually obey. But since Yang Peng loves her, he doesn't want her to suffer any injustice.
Yang Peng sighed and said with a wry smile: "Well, since you don't want to move into the palace, why don't you move in!" Yedi Guanyin was very moved and took the initiative to kiss Yang Peng's lips. The two of them were immersed in tenderness and sweetness. I don't know, but the other woman's eyes are already bursting with fire.
Ye Qi Guanyin seemed to feel something. She turned around and glanced around, then turned back and said teasingly: "I wonder why it's so hot all of a sudden!" Yang Peng didn't know what was going on, so he looked towards the other women and saw The girls hurriedly looked away and spoke to each other unnaturally. Yang Peng understood and smiled.
Ye Qi Guanyin smiled and said: "It feels good to be jealous!" Yang Peng looked away and asked with a smile: "Didn't you say you don't like to be jealous?" "Of course, I don't like to compete for other people's favor. I am jealous of others, but if others are jealous of me, I will be very happy!" Yang Peng laughed.
Ye Qi Guanyin suddenly became serious and said: "Brother, it is better to establish the concubine as soon as possible, otherwise everything will not be peaceful, and it will also affect eldest brother's grand plans!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
