Chapter 855 0850 [Yelü Yan]

Zhu Ming had seen Yelu Ci'aoye, the youngest daughter of Emperor Tianzuo of Liao.

She was indeed very beautiful, and she didn't look like a northern girl. She had a small frame, a slender figure, a charming little face, and delicate facial features like a sculpture.

Unfortunately, she was only fourteen years old.

Zhu Ming decided to raise her for two years, not out of any moral concept, but purely because the ancient medical technology was not good, and he was afraid that she would get pregnant at a young age and encounter a difficult birth.

But she had already been canonized, and Yelu Ci'aoye's rank was higher than that of the former Song Emperor Ji who had just entered the palace - she was canonized as Chongyuan.

There was no other reason, just the value of united front.

Just like Yelu Yudu was canonized, the entry of Emperor Tianzuo's youngest daughter into the palace was helpful in stabilizing the Khitan people. Especially the Khitan generals who surrendered, they would feel more at ease and more willing to work hard.

The name Yelu Ci'aoye was too difficult to pronounce, so Zhu Ming personally helped her change her name.

She has a bad taste and changed her name to Yeluyan...

In terms of name, she is the same as Xixia Princess Li Qinglu.

"My lady, I found the Buddhist scriptures."

A maid ran in with a Buddhist scripture in her hand: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty doesn't like Buddhism very much, and it is difficult to find Buddhist scriptures in the palace. This one was borrowed from Concubine Li Xian."

"Then I will go to thank Concubine Li Xian some other day. Please help ask her when she is free." Yeluyan said.

"Yes." The maid bowed.

Yeluyan spread out the Buddhist scriptures, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to copy the scriptures seriously to pass the time.

When she was still in her mother's womb, her mother followed Emperor Tianzuo into exile in the grassland. From the day she could remember, she lived with her sister in Wanyan Zongwang's house. After Wanyan Zongwang died of illness, her sister was adopted by Zongwang's younger brother, Erluguan, so she lived with her sister in Erluguan's house.

Last year, Erluguan was chopped off by Wuqimai.

To be precise, all of Aguda's sons are gone now.

Either die in battle or beheaded.

Even if Wuqimai did not do it, he would be taken to Kaifeng and beheaded.

For example, Wanyan Yansun, Wanyan Wuhu and others were still very young, some were only thirteen or fourteen years old.

But who made their father Aguda?

After the captives were presented, they were all beheaded!

All the young concubines left by Aguda were awarded to the meritorious generals.

For example, Xiao, the biological mother of Wanyan Yansun, was a noble lady from the Liao Dynasty. Xiao was awarded to Yue Fei by Zhu Ming as a concubine, which helped Yue Fei govern the Linhuang Protectorate - the main population there was the Khitan people.

With a concubine of the Xiao family, the Khitan people were more willing to obey Yue Fei's orders.

Yue Fei was grateful for this and vowed to work hard for the Ming Dynasty until his death.

The reason why Yue Fei was so excited was not because he got a beautiful woman, but because the emperor trusted him too much. He controlled a large area of ​​grassland. If it were another king, how could he dare to give him a Khitan noblewoman? It's too late to prevent him from rebelling!

Yeluyan copied the scriptures while reciting them in a low voice.

As she was reciting, she smiled and glanced at the maid Jinfeng next to her.

This Jinfeng, whose real name was Wanyan, was the youngest daughter of Wuqimai.

Last year, the two were sent to marry together.

As a result, Yeluyan became a concubine, while Jinfeng became a maid.

This made Yeluyan very happy. She had been living under someone else's roof since she was a child and had never enjoyed any happiness. Because she was too beautiful, she was envied when she was twelve or thirteen years old, and the mistress of the family locked her up in the side yard and did not allow her to go out.

Now her luck has turned, and she has become the master, and Wuqimai's daughter has to serve her.

A eunuch suddenly came to convey the order: "Your Majesty has an oral order that unmarried Jin palace maids can choose to leave the palace when they are 22 years old. During this period, you should work diligently."

Jinfeng quickly knelt down to thank him.

She finally had hope. Although she would be too old to leave the palace, she would at least have the status of a princess of the Kingdom of Jin, and she was also pretty, so she would definitely not have trouble finding a husband.

At least, she could live a normal life!

"Your Majesty is too kind." Yeluyan muttered.

She was not malicious, but she hated the Kingdom of Jin very much and could not bear to see the nobles of the Kingdom of Jin live well.

Biting the pen, Yeluyan leaned on the table with her hand on her cheek, and the scene of that day came to her mind again.

She was taken to meet the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Although they only met briefly, Yeluyan thought about it day and night. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very young, handsome, tall, and generous. He also helped her to destroy the Kingdom of Jin and avenge her hatred, and he would be her husband in the future.

She still remembered that day when Emperor Zhu said: "You are worthy of being the most beautiful woman in Shangjing, flawless, quiet and generous. You are as petite as a swallow in the palm of your hand, so change your name to Yeluyan in the future."

Yeluyan liked this name very much, just like she liked the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

That was the hero in her mind!

Yeluyan placed the Buddhist scriptures on the table, knelt down and silently prayed for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and also prayed for the sisters who were scattered everywhere.

I heard that the third sister Yu Liyan, who was both her mother and sister, remarried to your majesty's half-brother. I hope that the third sister can live a happy life.

Three days later, Yeluyan took a small gift to thank Xixia Princess Li Qinglu.

"Thank you sister for lending me the Buddhist scriptures." Yeluyan took out the Buddhist scriptures and the gifts.

Li Qinglu said: "Just take it and read it."

Yeluyan said: "I have copied it."

Li Qinglu then put away the Buddhist scriptures: "The emperor does not like Buddha. Only you and I believe in Buddhism in the palace. You can come and visit more often in the future. Daxia and Liao used to have frequent marriages. Maybe you and I are relatives."

"It turns out we are relatives. Why do I want to get close to my sister when I see her?" Yeluyan was very good at reading people's eyes and immediately tried to establish a relationship with her.

Li Qinglu had a much simpler personality. She took Yeluyan to teach her how to play Western Xia musical instruments, and comforted her by saying, "Concubines who are too young do not need to sleep with them when they enter the palace. The officials have already explained that young women may If the child is difficult to give birth to, you should give birth to another child. If the official family is delayed, don't think too much, it is because the official family is cherishing you. "

"So that's it, the official is really a good man." Yeluyan smiled happily, and she liked the Emperor of Heaven more in her heart.

After chatting for a long time, Li Qinglu called her children again. She had given birth to a son and a daughter, and her current title was "Xianfei".

Perhaps because Yeluyan was beautiful, Li Qinglu's children liked to stick to her, and the relationship between the two became much closer.

Li Qinglu said to Yeluyan: "The queen is a decent person. Although she is not easy to get close to, she does things fairly. All the concubines in the palace obey her discipline. The imperial concubine (Zheng Yuanyi) is very popular, and she is easy-going and likes to eat, drink and have fun. From now on, you will If you encounter difficulties, you can ask the imperial concubine for help and give her some delicious food. "

Yeluyan said quickly: "Thank you sister for your advice."

Li Qinglu added: "The officials allow us to go out to worship Buddha. We just need to report to the female official in advance, bring the bride with us, and return to the palace on the same day. But we can't go too frequently, for fear of annoying the officials. I don't think so. I go to worship Buddha once every six months. Next time I go out to worship Buddha, I will call you, but I don’t know which temple in Luoyang is the most effective.”

"I will definitely accompany my sister." Yeluyan was even more happy. She had not gone out much when she was in the Kingdom of Jin.

Li Qinglu said: "When I was in Kaifeng, I would go out to play polo with the officials every now and then, or go to the stadium to watch Cuju. I heard that there is no racecourse here in Luoyang, and I don't know when it will be built."

Yeluyan hurriedly asked how to play polo, and Li Qinglu explained to her carefully.

These two people are worthy of being Jin Yong. They are naturally compatible and became good friends as soon as they met.

…

Xiliao.

Yelu Dashi, who had captured a large area of ​​grassland north of the Tianshan Mountains last year, seemed to feel that his wings were full, so he went to surprise the Eastern Kara Khanate in the spring.

At the beginning, progress was rapid.

But when the main force of the Eastern Kara Khanate came to kill him, Yelu Dashi realized that he had stepped on an iron plate!

The army that Yelu Dashi encountered last time was not the elite of the Eastern Kara Khanate at all, so he felt that the enemy was mediocre.

At that time, the Eastern Kara Khanate was facing the Seljuk invasion, and all its elites were transferred to the west. In the end, the battle was not fought because the Eastern Kara Khanate surrendered directly and expressed its willingness to submit to the Seljuk Sultan and no longer intercept the Silk Road caravans.

Yelu Dashi, who was unaware of the actual situation, was severely defeated by the Eastern Kara Khanate this year. Even his general Ale was captured by the enemy.

"Your Majesty, there is news from merchants in Gaochang..."

A group of light cavalry came galloping over: "The Kingdom of Jin is gone!"

Yelu Dashi was stunned when he heard this, as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

The Kingdom of Jin is gone, and so is his goal.

He was really determined to destroy the Jin Dynasty and restore the Liao Dynasty. Historically, he swallowed up the Eastern Kara Khanate and led 70,000 people in the second year, eager to attack the Jin Dynasty. Unfortunately, the journey was too far, the newly conquered tribes complained, and there was not enough water and grass on the road to give up.

Yelu Dashi was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "Is there any other news?"

The Qingqi leader said: "The news was spread by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty on his own initiative, probably because he wanted to frighten the Western Regions. The pseudo-gold emperor Wu Qimai was captured and sent to Kaifeng to offer prisoners, and was named the Duke of Anle of the Ming Dynasty. The late emperor (Tian Zuo) The third princess of the emperor remarried to Emperor Zhu's brother. The fourth princess of the late emperor remarried to the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Guangdao, and the sixth princess became the concubine of the Mobei tribe. , all surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and respectfully called Emperor Zhu the Khan of Heaven."

Yelu Dashi sat down slowly, pulled out a grass core, and looked up at the sky without moving.

For a moment, Yelu Dashi felt disheartened.

The Eastern Kara Khanate in the west could not be conquered, the Jin Kingdom in the east was destroyed, and even the tribes in Mobei surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

The sky is so big and the earth is so big, can it be that he, Yelu Dashi, can only huddle here and become a local emperor?

After two months of confusion in Yelv Dashi, herdsmen suddenly arrived with envoys from the Eastern Kara Khanate.

Aslan Khan, the king of the Eastern Kara Khanate, personally led his army to defeat Yelu Dashi some time ago.

But on the way to victory, Aslan Khan suddenly died of illness!

When his son Ibrahim II succeeded to the throne, rebellions broke out in the country before he could even get hot. Now, the rebels were about to reach the capital. Ibrahim II was seriously ill and sought medical treatment. He actually sent an envoy to Yelu Dashi to borrow troops.

Moreover, Ibrahim II also promised that as long as Yelu Dashi helped defeat the rebels, he would dedicate a large area of ​​the Seven Rivers to him.

"Calling all warriors together!"

Yelu Dashi, who was in a depressed mood, immediately cheered up when he heard the news. He knew what he should do next.
