The first impression that Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu gave Kou Ji was that he was more like an emperor than Zhao Heng.
Excluding the merits and demerits between him and Zhao Heng, the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu is more imperial than Zhao Heng in terms of appearance.
Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, empress of the Liao Kingdom, who was sitting next to the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, was a beautiful woman with kind eyebrows and kind-hearted eyes.
Although she was wearing a gorgeous back robe, she didn't have much overbearing extravagance.
As for Yelv Zongzhen, the prince of the Liao Kingdom sitting on the other side of the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu, he was still a little baby, crawling around in his seat, and everything was new.
If it weren't for the maids, they would probably raise their little hands at Kou Ji to hug them.
When Kou Ji's gaze fell on Concubine Shun Shengyuan, the true birth mother of Yelvzong, the eldest prince of the Liao Kingdom, he almost dropped his chin.
What is it like to put on a monkey in a costume? What is it like to be Shun Sheng Yuan concubine Xiao Yujin.
His body was thin, his face was as black as charcoal, and he was extremely ugly (not made up of straw, as written in history books).
The corner of Kou Ji's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes fell on Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu again.
He wanted to question the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.
You are the emperor of the Liao Dynasty. How did you deal with these strange women
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu saw that Kou Ji had a strange look on his face, and his eyes had just been hovering over from Shun Sheng Yuan concubine Xiao Yujin, he roughly guessed Kou Ji's thoughts.
He was annoyed and angry in his heart, and he wanted to speak on the spot, so that people would drag Kou Ji down and cut the annual rings little by little.
He also wanted to rant to Kou Ji.
Do you think I am willing? When I had sex with her back then, I was forced by my mother's queen.
After all, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu still didn't let people drag Kou Ji out to cut him.
For him, the things Kou Ji had in mind were not enough to make him and Da Song completely torn apart.
He is far more tolerant than ordinary people, far more stalwart than ordinary people.
Especially the issues on men's and women's affairs, will not let his mind shake half.
After all, he was watching his mother, Empress Dowager Xiao Chuo, and his quarter-father Yelu Longyun (Han Dejang) eating, sitting together, and sleeping together (this matter is not a straw fabricated, the Empress Dowager Xiao and Handerang live a married life) The matter is recorded in "Cheng Shi Lu").
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu glanced over Kou Ji and snorted coldly.
Those who denounced Kou Ji closed their mouths instantly.
Xiang Minzhong hurriedly led Wang Zeng, Kou Ji and his entourage to bow and salute the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu. "Foreign minister Xiang Minzhong (Wang Zeng), see His Majesty the Emperor of Liao, have seen the Empress of Liao, and Shun Concubine Saint Yuan, met His Royal Highness the Great Prince of Liao..."
After the salute.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu smiled and said: "Xiang Gong, you and I are also old acquaintances. Knowing that I don't like these rituals, please get up soon."
Xiang Minzhong bowed his hand again and said with a smile: "Thanks to the love of His Majesty the Emperor of the Liao Kingdom..."
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu slowly nodded and smiled: "Xiang Gong quickly take a seat. I remember that when the Empress Dowager Cheng Tian was entertaining you in the past, you liked the pear white of my Daliao very much. I specially prepared the first class for you tonight. The pear blossom white, Xiang Gongke must take a swig."
Xiang Minzhong bowed and said, "Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of Liao, for your kind gift."
After the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu asked Xiang Minzhong to take a seat, he smiled at Wang Zeng: "The name of the prince, I have been famous for a long time, but I have never seen it. See you today, I want to have a good conversation with the prince.
I have always kept it by my pillow and read it carefully in my spare time. There are some incomprehensible points in the "History of the Khitan" written by the prince. I still need to discuss it with the prince. "
When Wang heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he hurriedly said: "The foreign minister has never been to the Liao country, and he has a rather one-sided understanding of the customs and conditions of the Liao country. There are a few places in the book "The History of Khitan". The national conditions do not match. How can foreign ministers dare to behave in front of you, the master of the Khitan Communist Party."
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu waved his hand and said: "The prince does not have to be self-effacing. Although the prince has never been to our Liao country, the description of the national conditions of our Liao country in the prince's "Khitan" is three points into the woods.
The princes were able to write the "History of the Khitan" only based on the rumors and a few classics.
If the princes were allowed to stay in our Liao country for a year or two, they would surely be able to produce a masterpiece comparable to Taishigong’s "History". "
Wang Zeng smiled bitterly: "How can the foreign minister dare to compare with Tai Shi Gong."
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said in a magnificent manner: "Why do the princes say such frustrating remarks, I think that the princes have this ability."
Wang Zeng arched his hands and said, "Thank you, His Majesty, the Emperor of Liao."
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu waved his hand and said boldly: "The prince is a great talent, and he should be bestowed upon him."
Wang Zeng arched his hands and sat next to Xiang Minzhong under the guidance of the servants in the Liao Dynasty.
Xiang Minzhong had previously been to the Liao State and had long been qualified to sit on the seat in the Liao State, so he went to the Liao State again, without the need for the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu to say that the servants in the Liao State would also lead him to the seat. sit down.
The Liao emperor Yelu Longxu treated Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng favorably, and Kou Ji clicked his lips.
Really, people are more dead than people, just shop around.
No wonder people can lead the Liao Kingdom to the point where all nations came to Korea.
Compared with others, Zhao Heng is really more than a bit worse.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's humility and kindness in dealing with people and things were completely different from the domineering and tyrannical behavior when he led the army.
Although there were only a few sentences in the conversation between him and Xiang Minzhong, Kou Ji heard too much from it.
He knows Xiang Minzhong's preferences very well, even after many years, he can still remember clearly, and in a few words, he pulled the relationship closer to the first time they met.
What does this show
It shows that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu attached great importance to Xiang Minzhong and took Xiang Minzhong in his heart.
If he were not from the Yelu clan or from the Liao Dynasty, it is estimated that Xiang Minzhong would have knelt down at his feet and became his courtier.
There is also Wang Zeng.
The first time they met, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu used Wang Zeng's writings as an excuse to get closer to each other.
He even made no secret of revealing his appreciation to Wang Zeng.
He even put on a gesture of asking Wang Zeng for advice.
"Khitan History"
What book is that
Kou Ji has been in Bianjing City for nearly two years and has never heard of this book.
I don't even know that Wang once wrote such a book.
Yelu Longxu, the emperor of the Liao who was thousands of miles away, not only knew the "Khitan Zhi", but even studied it carefully.
Who is he
The king of the Khitan, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, the ruler of a country of thousands of miles.
There are countless official duties to be handled every day, and I still have free time to find a book that Kou Ji has never stopped reading.
It shows his desire for talents, desire for knowledge, and appreciation for Wang Zeng.
A generation of heroes, it’s really not just casual talk...
"Are you... Kou Ji?"
When Kou Ji compared the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu with Zhao Heng, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's eyes fell on Kou Ji, and his voice was not high or low.
Kou Ji slowly recovered from the inquiry of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, and said, "The foreign minister is Kou Ji."
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stared at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "You are the only one I have ever seen who wanders when I speak..."
Kou Ji smiled awkwardly: "The foreign minister is rude."
Liao Emperor Yelulongxu paused, then slowly shook his head and said, "I know you are a person who does not stick to vulgar etiquette. I will neither force you nor blame you."
Kou Ji arched his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the Emperor of Liao."
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said quietly: "In the past two years, your name has been ringing in my ears frequently. I have heard a lot about your deeds. For example, you built the Kou bus to be filial to your grandfather. For me. Yuxiong guarded the spirit and nearly broke his legs. Such filial piety really made me admire.
But what makes me admire even more is that you can actually see through my plan amidst many clues and see through my purpose of attacking Xixia. "
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu slowly got up, raised his hands, and said loudly: "In order to attack Xixia, I planned to attack Xixia from April of the eighth year of Kaitai until the end of the year. Until I led a 500,000 army to the west, no one found out. My plan.
I have concealed it from the people of the world. "
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu retracted his hand, his eyes fell on Kou Ji, and his voice said with a heavy voice: "But I haven't concealed it from you. You are the only one in the world who can see through my mind.
I do not hesitate to invite you to my Daliao party on the excuse of the Suibi Xiangshang, just to ask you face-to-face.
How do you see through my plan? "
Facing the questioning of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, Kou Ji's eyes rolled around and decisively threw the black pot on Yelu Angkor.
Kou Ji handed his hand: "Since His Majesty the Emperor of Liao did not hesitate to invite foreign ministers to Liao, and asked about this in person, the foreign minister had to answer. The reason why the foreign minister was able to get involved in this matter is all Yelu Angkor, the four princes of Lai Guiguo, reminded."
"Nonsense, how could my fourth brother tell you such an important thing?"
As soon as Kou Ji's voice fell, a 14-year-old Liao prince got up and shouted.
Kou Ji's eyes fell on the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, and when he saw the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said nothing.
He looked at the prince of Liao, who was about fourteen years old, and said calmly: "Who are you?"
"Presumptuous! This is my sixth prince of Daliao, General Zuo Xiaowei Yelv Zongyuan. Song Chen, why don't you give a gift quickly?"
Liao Chen scolded him in court.
Kou Ji looked at Yelv Zongyuan for a while, and said faintly: "Foreign Minister Kou Ji, I have seen His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince of Liao."
"Humph!"
Yelvzong was willing to give a cold snort, staring at Kou Ji arrogantly: "You are obviously nonsense, just biting my fourth brother. You killed my fourth brother for the groom. I haven't settled this account with you yet. You are now Want to frame my fourth brother again?"
Kou Ji stared at Yelvzong and said, "I haven't said whether it is framed or not, how can you conclude that I am talking nonsense."
Yelvzong is willing to snort coldly: "You Song people are the best at sophistry, and they can speak black as white and white as black. There are a few words that come out of your Song people's mouth that can be taken seriously. "
Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, and asked: "Your Majesty the Liao Emperor, does this mean too?"
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu finally spoke again, "The reason why I punish Angkor is not because he revealed my plan to attack Xixia, but because he exposed a flaw in Song Ting's vertical arch hall, so that you can see the truth. false.
I also don't believe that the Angkor boy will tell you such an important thing as I attacked Xixia.
Although Angkor's children are a bit reckless in doing things, they always like to speak without a word.
But he is a child who can tell what is important.
In front of the big things, he never leaked a word. "
Kou Ji understood the attitude of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, and sneered to himself.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu insisted that he clarify the matter, so don't blame him for smashing Yelu Angkor to death.
Immediately, Kou Ji bowed his hand to the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu and said frankly: "The reason why the foreign minister said that the four princes of your country told the foreign minister that this is not what he said. It was what he did. for.
The foreign minister vaguely remembered that the first time he met the four princes of your country, he was in Daxiangguo Temple.
At that time, the four princes of your country blocked the Daxiangguo Temple and threatened to pray for blessings inside.
But the foreign minister felt that if the four princes of your country really prayed in the Daxiangguo Temple, they should not have blocked the Daxiangguo Temple for no reason, if the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were unhappy.
Therefore, the foreign minister led someone to forcefully break the Daxiangguo Temple.
Inside, he ran into An Ziluo, the four princes of your country and An Ziluo, the officer of the Qingtang Zamp Cape Siluo.
Since it is a blessing, then there should be only the four princes of your country in Daxiangguo Temple. Why is there a general of Qingtang Zanpu Cape Siluo
If there is no conspiracy, no conspiracy, then there is a problem.
The foreign minister originally wanted to find an opportunity to investigate again.
Unexpectedly, the four princes of your country did not reach an agreement with An Ziluo, the commander of Qingtang Zanpu Cape Siluo.
An Ziluo begged the foreign minister.
He threatened me to send troops to Da Song to help them attack Xixia together in Qingtang.
From the demands he made with the foreign ministers, it is not difficult to see that what he discussed with the four princes of your country in the Daxiangguo Temple must also be the same.
Just when the foreign minister ran around for An Ziluo's appeal.
An Ziluo suddenly went to the foreign minister and said that he was going back to Qingtang.
What did he do for me in Da Song
The reason is to ask me to send troops to Da Song to help them attack Xixia together.
But his request hadn't been fulfilled yet, so he was anxious to leave Da Song, which was obviously inconsistent with his mission.
Before he could fulfill his request, he was anxious to leave my Da Song.
That explains a point.
Someone agreed to his request.
So apart from my Da Song, An Ziluo only discussed this matter with your country secretly.
Obviously, the four princes of your country made repeated decisions and agreed to his demands.
With your country's help, he naturally doesn't need to ask me to send troops from Song Dynasty. "
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu heard Kou Ji's words without any emotions on his face.
But when the hundreds of officials in Liao State heard this, they exploded.
Although this matter has no direct relationship with Yelu Angkor, it has an indirect relationship.
If it weren't for Yelu Angkor's carelessness, he hadn't sealed the Qingtang people's mouth in advance.
Kou Ji could not infer from these clues that the Liao State would use troops against Xixia.
