"This is Yelu Xianshi, Prime Minister of the Northern Liao Prefecture!" Yelujing introduced.
Yelu Xianshi stepped forward and saluted Emperor Liu with his hands raised, but his expression was serious and as cold as ice.
Emperor Liu looked at him with great interest and said: "I have heard about you. I said that you are funny and cynical, and no one knows it. Only Yeluwu praised you for your great talent in the country. When you led the remnants of the army, you and I The second general Shi Guo of the Han Dynasty was fighting in Shannan. The evaluation they gave you at that time was that you are flexible and flexible, and as cunning as a fox. I still remember it..."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise! I am nothing more than a mediocre minister!" Yelv Xianshi's face softened a bit and he responded.
"Who is this general?" Yelujing also asked.
Emperor Liu tilted his head and chuckled: "The famous commander of the Han Dynasty, Duke Rong, Zhao Kuangyin!"
Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin also took a step forward and clasped his fists for a moment. Yelujing glanced sideways at Zhao Kuangyin and said in a contemptuous tone: "I have only heard of the generals of the Southern Dynasty, Murong Yanzhao, Ma Quanyi, An Shenqi, Fu Yanqing, and Yang Ye. This Duke Rongguo is Who are you? Forgive me for being ignorant. By the way, now that Murong and Ma are deceased, An and Fu are old, it seems that only Yang Ye is left..."
Even though Zhao Kuangyin was not well-known overseas, he was still an important minister in the military and political affairs of the Han Dynasty. How could Yelujing not have heard of him? His statement was obviously deliberate.
But Zhao Kuangyin was humiliated, and his face suddenly looked a bit darker, as if there was a dark cloud covering his face. Looking at his appearance, Emperor Liu couldn't help but worry whether Zhao Kuangyin would show off his "Taizu Chang Fist" and hit Yelujing hard. face.
Of course, Zhao Kuangyin was not the kind of impulsive person, and since it was such an occasion, he habitually smiled heartily and responded casually: "There are countless people in the Han Dynasty who are both civil and military, and there are countless people who can conquer battles." , compared with them, I am naturally a nobody!"
After drinking some wine, both of them were in a better mood. Emperor Liu asked Zhao Kuangyin to sit down at the table, and Yelujing also asked Yelvxian to take a seat. Looking at the drunken Yelujing, Emperor Liu said: "I heard that the Lord of Liao was interested in two things in his life. One was hunting, which lasted for several days; the other was drinking, which was spent all night. How could he govern the country if he stayed here for a long time?"
Hearing this, Yelujing looked unconcerned and said confidently: "Da Liao has neither good ministers to govern the country nor good generals to fight against rebellions and defeat thieves. With them supporting the army wholeheartedly, why should I worry? Although I am happy to drink and feast. Hunting, has the country ever been in turmoil? Have the people of my tribe ever been in riot?"
Obviously, Yelujing is not worried about this, but is quite proud of it. In fact, it is rare in history to be able to achieve this level. Of course, those hidden worries and contradictions that are not common to outsiders are consciously ignored.
After a pause, Yelujing looked at Emperor Liu and said, citing his old age, "If the Lord of Han were to do everything personally, I'm afraid my temples would be white now!"
Emperor Liu smiled and pointed at his temples: "My early-born splendid men serve the country, the family, the people of the world, and the country. This is my medal."
"The Master of the Han Dynasty is so kind!" Yelujing raised his eyebrows slightly, rolled his eyes, and added: "I heard that the Master of the Han Dynasty is fond of women, and he often suffers from the disadvantages of few people, especially sisters. This kind of philandering is also said to be unparalleled. I am ashamed of myself!”
When he said this, Emperor Liu's face trembled. He didn't care about personal ethics, but when someone exposed it to his face, he felt slightly disturbed.
However, Emperor Liu's palace was enough to restrain any emotions, and he soon showed a gentle smile: "The incident of Emperor E and Nv Ying can be regarded as a classic through the ages, and it is nothing to laugh at!"
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Liu's counterattack came: "I heard that the Lord of Liao was flirting with women when he was young. Why is this? The continuation of the bloodline and the inheritance of the family and country are important matters related to the ancestral temple and the country!"
Without waiting for Yelujing to speak, Emperor Liu called Liu Fang, who was standing behind him with a sword, to his side and introduced him: "This is my fourth son Liu Fang. He is also good at hunting. He is very good at horseback riding! Now I have ten sons. five......"
Emperor Liu took the initiative to bring up the issue of heirs, and Yelujing almost lost her guard. She clenched her fists subconsciously, but she still tried hard to restrain herself. He picked up the cup, took a sip of wine, looked up at Liu Fang, who was tall and straight, with a resolute face, and said with a playful smile: "Sure enough, you are so heroic. The Lord of Han has someone to succeed you. The one who will inherit your legacy is this son." Bar!"
As soon as he said these words, Emperor Liu clenched his fists, and his eyes looking at Yelujing became terrifying for the first time, but how could Yelujing be frightened, and his smile became even stronger.
At this time, Liu Fang took the initiative to speak: "My family's business has its own crown prince, and his title has been determined early. Liu Fang will be his vassal!"
Liu Fang's words were firm and resolute, and his serious and calm expression made Yelujing stunned for a moment. Emperor Liu was also slightly surprised. He glanced at his beloved son, waved his hand towards him, and chuckled: "Liu Fang, don't be rude!"
Then he looked at Yelujing and said leisurely: "With God's care, this is my son. He will be loyal and filial!"
"Haha!" Yelujing smiled and did not argue in this regard.
It can be said that she has gone through power struggles and fratricide. Yelujing is a little disdainful of Emperor Liu's self-confidence. What if she has more sons, which will facilitate infighting in the palace and feud between brothers?
Of course Emperor Liu didn't know Yelujing's malicious expectations for his sons. Seeing Yelujing's spirit gradually returning to a "normal" state, he continued: "I also heard that the Lord of Liao was still murderous. The special thing is that the Minister of Punishment, I do not abuse the people, but treat my close attendants as slaves of cattle and sheep, slaughtering them arbitrarily, and punishing them severely for minor offenses..."
As he spoke, Emperor Liu tsked: "I shudder to think about it. If a group of people whose life and death are not guaranteed are allowed to serve the monarch, how can the monarch's safety be guaranteed?"
Emperor Liu's voice seemed to have some demonic quality, stimulating Yelujing's somewhat nervous nerves. Subconsciously looking at the few attendants, Yelujing saw something called anger flashing in his eyes, which frightened the few attendants.
Restraint, continue to restrain. He was probably reminding himself this way in his heart, especially after seeing Emperor Liu's half-smiling expression. Taking a deep breath, Yelujing fired back: "I have also heard that the Han Emperor was deeply suspicious. I wonder how many of the founding fathers and Qianyou heroes are left in power?"
"..."
The talks gradually evolved into a mutual exchange between the two emperors. You had something to say, and I had something to say. It was a great pleasure. Until he was drunk, of course, Emperor Liu was pretending, and so was Yelujing. Emperor Liu drank with restraint, but Yelujing was used to it.
"I had a great meeting with the Lord of Liao today and sat and talked about Taoism. I may not have been so happy for a long time!" Emperor Liu raised his finger to the sky and said: "However, it is getting late, so we will come here today and disperse. How about we disperse? "
"The soldiers have been fighting for a long time, and they are hungry and thirsty. It is inappropriate for you and me to have fun and cause thousands of soldiers to suffer!" Yelu Jing also said.
"Are you going to leave now?" Emperor Liu smiled warmly.
"Farewell!" Yelujing nodded.
When he stood up, Yelujing asked Emperor Liu again: "Has the Lord of Han enjoyed himself as much as he could today?"
"It seems that I, as the host, did not entertain well enough and failed to make the distinguished guests happy!" Emperor Liu knew the elegant meaning of the song after hearing it, and responded directly: "What does the Lord Liao propose?"
"Since the Lord of the Han Dynasty invited me to hunt here, how can I have fun without firing a single arrow or hunting a single thing?" Yelujing asked in return.
Emperor Liu immediately said: "Tomorrow, each of us will choose heroes to ride and shoot in the paddock. How about the comparison between the Han and Liao warriors?"
"Okay!" Yelujing responded simply.
