Yelu Hongji was defeated very badly, and the loss of nearly 20,000 was beyond his limit. As a prince who was born with a golden spoon, Yelu Hongji began to be given various titles, becoming an official, and taking power... People often ignore it. This year, Yelu Hongji is only 24 years old, and Wang Ning'an has only one, and it is not fortunate that Yelu Hongji is under unimaginable pressure.

The most unacceptable failure, but the worst blow was hit!

After fleeing back to Liao Kingdom, Yelu Hongji locked himself up and saw no one. Once, he thought of death. Perhaps only death can wash away the shame... He didn't know how to face his father, how to face Yelu Chongyuan, and how to face his subjects. Yelu Hongji was very distressed and entangled.

In this way, I lived in a dim and tangled manner. I don’t know how long it took, the door was pushed open and a beam of sunlight shone in.

"Damn it! Who asked you to get in..."

He looked up suddenly and saw a haggard face. Yelu Zongzhen, his father, stood there, even a little shaking. Yelu Hongji secretly wiped his tears. He immediately ran over, supported his father, and invited him to his seat.

Yelu Zongzhen sat down and gasped for a long time before raising his head. His eyes were already turbid, and his son's outline was already very blurred.

"Sit down and talk to Dad."

Yelu Hongji froze and did not move. Yelu Zongzhen continued to talk to himself.

"I inherited the throne at the age of 15. It has been twenty-five years since then. I have not had the blessing of my ancestors. When he succeeded to the throne, the empress dowager assisted the government, and many capable ministers came to the forefront. My great Liao Dynasty was in its prime and we came to the court from all directions."

When it comes to Empress Xiao, his father, Emperor Liao Shengzong, and Yelu Zongzhen, he looked admirable. Indeed, the Liao Kingdom was extremely powerful at that time. He defeated Zhao Er and the Chanyuan alliance twice, forcing the Song Dynasty to receive annual tributes. All tribes, Tuhun, Tubo, Dangxiang, and Goryeo... all surrendered to the Liao Kingdom. What is the coming of states to pay tribute and the atmosphere of the Shang Kingdom? The Liao Kingdom at that time was really admired by people.

However, after Yelu Zongzhen ascended the throne, the Liao Kingdom began to decline, and he also worked hard. He led the troops to attack Xixia twice, but they were defeated by Li Yuanhao... In recent years, new changes have continued to occur in the Song Dynasty. Yelu Zongzhen was very worried, but he was powerless.

This battle was even more defeated, which made Yelu Zongzhen feel frightened.

He did not blame his son, nor was he angry, but just taught the children who made mistakes like an ordinary father.

"Han Taoism believes in Tai Chi, not forever, but forever. You are the master of the future Liao Dynasty. You must show the toughness of a wolf, cunning of a fox, and keenness of an eagle... Only as a father can you be assured to give the country to you!"

After hearing the father's heart-wrenching words, Yelu Hongji could no longer control himself. He threw himself in front of his father and cried bitterly.

"The child was unfilial and lost to the Song Dynasty. He was no longer ashamed to see others. The child was afraid that he would not be blessed to inherit the throne of the Liao Dynasty."

"Silly child! You are the father's child. Who can inherit the throne except you?"

Yelu Zongzhen smiled bitterly, "In the past few years, I, the Great Liao Dynasty, have been learning from the Song people, from dressing and hats to poetry and lyrics... I have learned all the blood and courage in my heart. However, there is one thing that makes learning from the Song people is also beneficial, that is, the father and son will succeed, and the patriarchal law is as great as the sky! No one can reverse the inheritance of the father and son in the throne!"

Yelu Hongji raised his head and said in a daze: "Father, uncle, he..."

"Don't be afraid!" Yelu Zongzhen touched his son's head with care.

"For the father, I will find a way to make him dispel his ambitions."

It’s good to have a dad here!

Yelu Hongji was almost resurrected in full blood, but he still had a confidant problem, that is, how will the war with the Song Dynasty be settled?

Seeing his son's face full of doubts, Yelu Zongzhen smiled and said, "If you lose, you will lose. You must know to admit defeat. Han civil servants often say that you should think twice, that is, you should think about danger and retreat and change... What does it mean? That is to say, you should know the danger in front of you, learn to avoid danger, and then look carefully, think carefully, and find a way to defeat and deal with it. This is called thinking about change!"

I’m afraid this is the most obedient time when Yelu Hongji grew up so old. Every word his father said was engraved in his heart and he dare not forget it.

Yelu Zong was really too tired. He talked for a quarter of an hour and couldn't breathe.

"You have sent someone to make peace with the Song Dynasty, and soon a Song envoy will come to discuss peace." Yelu Zongzhen said: "You have already asked your uncle to deal with this matter. You should watch it!"

...

Yelu Hongji was very unwilling to give up. He wanted to continue fighting with the Song Dynasty and wash away the shame, but Yelu Zongzhen flatly refused. Faced with an unfavorable bet, only by stopping as soon as possible can he avoid greater losses.

Yelu Zongzhen was familiar with the Han culture. The Central Plains dynasty have always been generous. If you discuss peace with them, you will not suffer too much... But Yelu Zongzhen forgot that his opponents are different this time.

Under the protection of 200 cavalry, Ouyang Xiu and Zhang Dun appeared on the land of the Liao Kingdom... Stepping on the vast field and looking at the desolate and distant land, Zhang Dun's heart suddenly tightened.

What a majestic land, what a magnificent territory!

He seemed to be fascinated, staring at every mountain and every river... Ouyang Xiu noticed his expression, grabbed his beard, and asked with a smile: "Do you like it?"

"Well! My grandson doesn't like it!"

Zhang Dun spat fiercely, "Yan Yun will be restored in this life!"

"Good ambition!" Ouyang Xiu said loudly: "I used to go to Liao Kingdom to be envoyed. After I went back, I, Fan Xiwen, Fu Yan Kingdom and others promoted the Qingli New Policy, and thought about enriching the country and strengthening the army. Unfortunately, my efforts failed... My old friends from the past also parted ways."

"No, we won't!" Zhang Dun suddenly said proudly: "Zuiweng, we have found the key to liberation Yanyun, we will not repeat the same mistake!"

"Take it seriously? What is that key?" Ouyang Xiu said with a smile.

Zhang Dunzhi was so proud that he spit out four words, "Unify knowledge and action!"

Just thinking about restoring Yan Yun is useless, but there is a way and action. For so many years, since Mr. Wang fell the first chess piece, countless people have put in their efforts for this treasure land.

Although there is still too long to go before you can actually get it back, Zhang Dun has seen the light of hope!

They rode their horses and rushed all the way to Youzhou.

In order to welcome the arrival of the Song envoy, Yelu Chongyuan sent his son Nelugu out of the city to greet him.

Facing the welcome team, Zhang Dun was very dissatisfied! He rushed in front of Ouyang Xiu and stopped Nerugu.

"The imperial envoy of the Song Dynasty, the right censor, the chief censor Ouyang Xiu, came on the order of the emperor, where is Yelu Chongyuan, the king of Yanzhao?" Zhang Dun was tall and full of energy, and could hear each word clearly opposite each other.

Nelugu's face was very bad. He suppressed his anger, urged his horse to come over, and smiled and said, "The father has already held a banquet. By the way, Lord Liu and Lord Lu of your country are also waiting in the city. Please come over as soon as possible!"

"Hmph! Ouyang, the eldest son of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, came from afar. Yelu Chongyuan, as the senior member of the Liao lord, should come out to greet him. Are he used to being an old man and doesn't know who wins and who loses?"

"you!"

Nerugu's eyes widened and his breathing was rapid.

God felt sorry for him, a little prince, who came out to greet him in person, had already given Song envoy a great face. Last time, Zhao Zongjing, as a prince, came to Liao Kingdom, was just him coming to welcome him.

This time, Ouyang Xiu came and actually asked his father to come out to welcome him. This Song Dynasty is too bullying, right?

Seeing that the people of Liao were filled with anger and wishing they could eat their own appearance, Zhang Dun felt so comfortable. This is the feeling of a strong country!

I just like the expression you don’t like me and can’t help me!

Zhang Dun thanked Wang Ning'an so much. The work he arranged for him was so appropriate! For the sake of this trip to Liao Kingdom, the last time he went to Japan disappeared. I forgive Wang Ning'an!

"Why, I don't even want to welcome you? Tell you, if you don't welcome the angels, just wait for the heavenly soldiers!"

Zhang Dun threw down a sentence, turned around and left. Halfway through, he turned around and came back.

"Tell you, I'll just wait for an hour. If the expiration is over, we will go home immediately!"

After Zhang Dun finished speaking, he rode his horse and left.

When he returned to the team, Ouyang Xiu smiled unscrupulously and was so refreshing!

In the past, when the Song envoys went to the Liao Kingdom, they were all harassed. On the contrary, the Liao envoys went to the Song Dynasty, but they had to treat them well, for fear of making some mistakes... Now the feng shui has changed, and it is finally time for the Song Dynasty to be proud.

Ouyang Xiu's playfulness actually came up, and he asked someone to move out a recliner. He leaned on it, shaking a fan, and pointing out the world. He looked very poetic, but he actually asked for paper and pen and splashed ink on the spot. In a blink of an eye, he wrote three poems.

Zhang Dun stood beside him, applauding.

"The Drunken Old Man's Sword is not old, it's really gratifying!"

Ouyang Xiu was unhappy, "Are I old?"

"If you don't grow old, you won't be old at all!" Zhang Dun smiled and said, "These masterpieces of Zuiweng are to be given to students. I'm going to go back and hang them at home, so that they can all envy them!"

Ouyang Xiu grabbed his beard and smiled and said, "I will give you another article "Fu on the Liao Kingdom when I go to the Imperial House of Liao."

"Students cannot ask for it."

They were having fun, but forgot that someone's face was dark. Nerugu sent someone to invite Yelu Chongyuan out, and the crown prince, King Yanzhao, was actually left aside.

It’s a pity that when did the No. 2 figure in Liao Kingdom receive such treatment?

Yelu Chongyuan was so angry that he was all he could scold. If you win, Yelu Hongji, why would I be so shameless? But then he thought about it, Yelu Chongyuan was secretly grateful. Thanks to Yelu Hongji's defeat, he had hope of fighting for the throne. Only by being able to successfully negotiate peace, he was a hero of the Liao Dynasty. In order to compete for the throne, he added a lot of bargaining chips.

Thinking of this, Yelu Chongyuan came up with a smile.

"Xiao Wang is waiting for the Song envoy to be the leader."

After shouting three times, Ouyang Xiu threw the pen to his subordinates, smiled and got on the war horse, came opposite Yelu Chongyuan, and bowed to him.

"Prince, you may be resentful, but I want to ask for advice. If you win, will you be as polite as me? So, there is still a difference between civilization and barbarism, you won't deny it?"
