Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the early morning, Leng Yi was sitting in the study room of the trial court, reviewing secret reports from newspapers from various places.  His trial court has already entered into a formal state, and a lot of information is reported every day. After being screened by the intelligence officers below, the important information is directly sent to him.

    While he was watching, suddenly, a guard came in from outside and knelt down on one knee: "Report to the court judge, there are envoys from the Liao Kingdom asking to see you!"

    Leng Yi was slightly startled, then slowly put down the secret report in his hand, and glanced at the guard: "What is the envoy of the Liao State doing here?"

    "Sending a letter, it was said that this letter could only be presented to the court judge in person, and no one else could collect it on his behalf. He wouldn't take it out. Did the chief judge see him?"

    "Didn't he say anything in the letter?"

    The guard hesitated for a moment and whispered: "It's it's an autographed letter from the Supreme Emperor!"

    The Great Emperor?

    Leng Yi's body was shocked, the Supreme Emperor, that is the emperor Zhao Guangyi who was captured by the Liao Kingdom!  Ten years ago, he led an army to conquer the Liao Dynasty. He was heavily surrounded and his entire army was wiped out. He himself was captured and escorted to Shangjing.  Later, Leng Yi personally led the troops to the expedition. Under the leadership of General Yang, he defeated the Liao army in Youzhou and inflicted heavy losses on the Liao army.  As a result, the Liao army did not dare to send troops southward after ten years.  Now, ten years have passed, and there has been no movement from the Liao army. Why did the emperor who was captured by the Liao army write a letter?

    Leng Yi had very complicated feelings about Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Guangyi promoted him, but he was also suspicious of him and even issued a secret order to have his son prepare to get rid of him. Therefore, Leng Yi hoped that the old emperor would not  If he came back, he would just stay in the Liao Dynasty forever, but now, he actually wrote a handwritten letter and sent it.  I don't know what he is going to do.

    Leng Yi felt a little uneasy. He subconsciously felt that this letter might not bring any good news.

    Leng Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Take him to the flower hall, I will be there soon!"

    The guard agreed to go out. Leng Yi sat for a while, but still had no clue. He stood up and walked out of the door.

    Master Tuyou and Taoist Wumei followed immediately.  We came to the flower hall together.

    I saw an old man sitting at the bottom of the flower hall. Behind him stood two soldiers, but they had no weapons.

    The guard at the door was already singing loudly: "The First Assistant Minister and the Judge of the Criminal Court, Mr. Leng Yi, has arrived¡ª¡ª!"

    So, the old man stood up quickly.  He bowed and saluted: "Yelu Qian, the envoy of the Liao Dynasty, pays homage to the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, Mr. Leng!"

    Leng Yi glanced at him, cupped his hands, walked to the middle seat and sat down, looked up at him, and said: "Your envoy has worked hard all the way, and I didn't know that I came here this time. What are you doing?"

    Yelu Qian took out a letter from his arms, held it in both hands, walked up to Leng Yi, and raised it above his head: "This is a letter written by the emperor of your country, Zhao Guangyi. I have been ordered to deliver the letter."

    Leng Yi took the letter without opening it and asked, "How is our Supreme Emperor doing in your Liao Kingdom?"

    "Very good. Our Emperor of the Liao Dynasty regards him as a sibling and gives him a beautiful house and a beautiful concubine. He has good clothes and food. He has been in very good health for the past ten years. He just misses his homeland often and hopes to return home soon. Our Emperor of the Liao Dynasty expresses his gratitude.  He is homesick and thinks of the brotherhood between the two countries, so as long as your country agrees to his return, our emperor will respectfully send him back to the court."

    Leng Yi felt a chill in his heart. He had seen too much of Zhao Guangyi's methods. If this tyrannical old emperor came back and competed with the new emperor for the throne, then the Song Dynasty would probably not have a good life!  Obviously, this was a conspiracy of the Liao Dynasty. It seemed that after ten years of recovery, the Liao Dynasty had basically recovered its vitality and wanted to herd horses in the Central Plains again.  However, the Song Dynasty now also has a new look and strong troops.  It is only stronger than the Liao Dynasty.  In addition, the Yang family general was personally guarding the northern border, and the Liao Dynasty knew that if it directly used troops, it would probably not get any benefits.  So, they came here to bring back the old emperor.  There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.  If the two emperors fight like this, the Song Dynasty will definitely be in chaos, or at least the command will be chaotic. In that case, they will have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

    Leng Yi also saw a proud smile from the corner of Yelu Qian's mouth. He couldn't help but smile meaningfully and said, "It will naturally be a great joy for the Emperor to return to the court."

    Yelu Qian smiled even more happily: "Did the prime minister agree?"

    Leng Yi did not answer. He took the letter, opened it, and read it slowly.

    The letter was very long and was written to Leng Yi. The letter narrated Zhao Guangyi's experience after being captured by the Liao Dynasty. It was the same as what the Liao Dynasty envoy said. He also described in his heart that he was received grandly and respectfully by the Liao Dynasty emperor.  add.  I am very grateful.  I just miss my hometown and my relatives. Now that I am getting older, I want to return to the Central Plains as soon as possible and return to my roots.

    In the letter, Zhao Guangyi also repeatedly said that he just wanted to come back and die, and would never interfere in political affairs again. He would not have any plans for the new emperor's throne, and everything would remain as usual.  I hope Leng Yi, the actual leader of the Song Dynasty, can accept him back.  Homeland forever.

    After reading the letter, Leng Yi squeezed his eyes and looked a little tearful. He looked at the envoy of the Liao Dynasty and said: "The letter from the Supreme Emperor is so touching. Alas! I didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor would still be able to return."  One day, this news will be told to the ministers in the DPRK, and they will definitely be happy and run around to tell each other."

    "Yes, yes! Prime Minister, please be prepared. I will report to our emperor when I return, and I will send your emperor back to the court immediately."

    Leng Yi said: "Envoys don't need to be anxious. This matter needs to be discussed in detail. It is certain to welcome the Supreme Emperor back to the court. It's just about how to welcome him. We still have to discuss it. I can't make the decision on these matters alone.  Yes, we need to discuss with our emperor, the empress dowager, and other important officials in the court. After finally agreeing on how to welcome the emperor back, it will not be too late to arrange the itinerary."

    Yelu Qian hurriedly bowed and said, "That's right. Okay, then I'll stay and wait for good news."

    Leng Yi stood up and saw him off, waiting for Yelu Qian to leave.  Leng Yi stood at the door and pondered for a moment, then ordered the sedan to be prepared and immediately returned to Leng's mansion.

    He returned home and went straight to Xiao Zhouhou¡¯s house.

    After Empress Xiao Zhou kept her filial piety to Li Yu for one year, she married Leng Yi.  Of course, this wedding was not held with any fanfare, just some relatives and friends were invited to have a ceremony and that was it.

    After Xiao Zhouhou married Leng Yi, she gave birth to a daughter who was as beautiful as her.  Xiao Zhouhou is as loving as the apple of her eye, guarding her daughter every day, almost never leaving the house.  Therefore, Fang Jinyan never saw her again in Leng Mansion except for seeing her once when he first came here.

    Xiao Zhouhou likes to be quiet, so she has a private courtyard with only one door to enter, and the door is usually closed.  Leng Yi came to the gate of the courtyard. The old lady who looked after the gate opened the gate. When she saw it was him, she hurriedly said, "Greetings to the great master."

    "Where is your grandma?"

    "I'm studying with my lady in the study room."

    Xiao Zhouhou cherished her only daughter, so she taught all the studies herself.  There is no outside sir.

    The old concierge woman was about to announce his arrival loudly, but Leng Yi waved her hand not to disturb them.  Holding hands behind his back, he stepped in until he reached the door of the study.  Then I heard the childish sound of my daughter Lengxiang reading from inside the house:

    Far above the Yellow River among the white clouds

    An isolated city in Wanren Mountain

    Why should the Qiang flute blame the willow tree?

    ¡­¡­

    Leng Yi immediately chanted: "The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass!"

    "Daddy!"

    A lively and cute girl with big eyes of four or five years old ran out of the room. He rushed over and opened his arms. Leng Yi leaned over and picked her up, kissing her pink little face.

    Leng Xiang held Leng Yi¡¯s head with her little hands, kissed him on the face, and said, ¡°Dad, why are you back?¡±

    "I miss you!"

    "Hehe, Xiang'er doesn't believe it, daddy misses mommy!" After saying that, he turned his little face and looked at his mother, Xiao Zhouhou, who was standing at the door behind him.

    "Little devil!" Leng Yi pinched his daughter's little nose and looked at Xiaohou.

    Ten years have passed, and Xiao Zhouhou has transformed from an outstanding young woman into a graceful and elegant middle-aged beauty. The increase of age has caused a few faint lines to appear in the corners of her eyes.

    Xiao Zhouhou came over with a smile and said to her daughter: "Xiang'er, go back to study while dad talks to mom."

    "Yes!" Leng Xiang nodded obediently, Leng Yi put her down, Leng Xiang waved her little hand and trotted back to the study.

    Empress Xiao Zhou followed Leng Yi to the bedroom on the other side. After sitting down, Empress Xiao Zhou looked at him and whispered: "Did something difficult happen in the court?"

    Xiao Zhouhou was thoughtful and thoughtful. She was the original Queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty and was the best at court affairs. Therefore, Leng Yi liked to discuss with her all matters related to the court.  It was not time to leave the office, but Leng Yi had returned home, and when he came to his place, it was obvious that he had something to discuss with him involving the court.  Moreover, this matter is still very difficult, otherwise Leng Yi would not have come back to find him halfway.

    Leng Yi nodded, took out the letter from his arms, and handed it to Xiao Hou.

    Xiao Zhou later took it, took out the letter paper, and read it slowly. She read it very seriously.  It took almost a stick of incense to finish reading the letter.  He handed the letter to Leng Yi.  Her pretty face was a little pale, she looked at him and said, "What are you going to do?"

    "I didn't think about it, so I came to find you."

    Xiao Zhouhou thought for a while and said: "I don't have any good ideas at the moment, but there is only one principle, that is, we must not let him come back!" When he thinks of Zhao Guangyi, the scene of being insulted by Zhao Guangyi will appear in front of Xiao Zhouhou's eyes.  , your delicate body will tremble slightly involuntarily.

    Leng Yi reached over, took her into his arms, and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't let him come back even if I risk my life. Our family and his are incompatible!"

    The trembling body of Xiao Zhouhou gradually calmed down.  Looking up at him: "How kind of you!"
