Five hundred and forty-eight chapters concubine(1/2)
A large group of people rushed out of Yanshan.
It is different after passing Yanshan. To the south of Yanshan, there are mostly Han people, and to the north of Yanshan, Han people still account for the majority, but the masters are not Han people, but Xi people. The one who is the leader of the Han people is not the Manchu Qing, nor the Jurchen, nor the Western Xia. But the Yuan Meng, there are four types of people. The Yuan Meng classified the Han people as the fourth-class, and the Mongols beat the Han people to death for nothing. Of course, the result was also miserable. They rushed back to the desert in just a few decades. The Khitan was the first to treat the Han people best.
If divided, the lowest in the Khitan territory is the birth of Jurchens and the Uighurs. The Han people and the Bohai people (maturity Jurchens) have almost the same status. In fact, real analysis, the Han people have a slightly higher status than the Bohai people. However, the race second only to the Khitan people is not the Han people, but the Xi people. The two ethnic groups are the real brothers, which is equivalent to the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the eastern Mongolian races later.
So some bad situations occurred.
Although the Khitan Nanjing Road and Xijing Road are mainly cultivated, they can have many mountainous lands. They have been peaceful for a long time, and the population has increased, and a large amount of wealth has been generated. Some Khitan nobles envied this wealth and transferred from north to south to Youzhou and Xijing. However, most of the Han people have merged with several major families and their own farming farmers began to transfer to the north, and some even developed into the Khitan Shangjing area. However, most of the land here belongs to the Xi people, and it doesn’t matter if the land is deserted and the mountains are abandoned. If you want to plant their land, you have to pay heavy rent. The Han people live here very poorly.
Zheng Lang looked at it without making any sound.
It seems to be an advantage, but I don’t know where to start. Don’t mention any advantages. The Han people here are used to living, but they don’t think there is any inconvenience. The Song Dynasty army came to take back the territory, and they still raised their weapons to resist.
Liu Liufu walked over, pointed to the mountains and asked, "Xingzhi, can I reach the mountains and rivers magnificent?"
"Brother Liu, although the mountains and rivers in the north are magnificent, I still like the exquisiteness of the south."
"I read some historical books yesterday. When the Zheng family in Xingyang grew up, it was because of the Northern Wei that they could become a wealthy family in the world."
"This is the case, but I am happy about it and I am not happy about it."
"What's the solution."
"It is a major family that keeps the northern Han civilization. Therefore, our dynasty unified the world and the emergence of civilized dynasties. It is a reason why we control too many resources and cause destruction."
"I heard that Emperor Taizong of Tang has three-quarters of the Xianbei bloodline?"
"Yes, but he regarded himself as a Han man, so he was governed internally. Later, his descendants married many Han women. It was hard to say that the Tang Dynasty was a Xianbei royal family. However, it was precisely because of this that the five surnames and seven families despise it. This is the pride of the real Han family."
Liu Liufu was silent.
Guo Kui laughed at the side, and both of them had a profound meaning in their words, but after the confrontation, Liu Liufu was at the bottom of the way.
Liu Fei'er gave a gift to Liu Liufu.
Fortunately, Zheng Lang had no relationship with these four women, otherwise Zheng Lang would have become Liu Liufu's younger generation. Several women were very alert, but it was too easy for Zheng Lang to trick them, so he asked by the way. It was easy to get their background. As Zheng Lang guessed, they were all girls who came to the big family. They were from big families, and they were not from common people. They were all from straight families. Liu Feier was Liu Liufu's cousin. Zheng Lang was also surprised and thought for a long time. There was only one reason, one was forced by the Khitan emperor, and the other was that he talked about Confucianism himself. The Han family should be good, so he did not use common people to make excuses.
After riding a horse for a few steps, Liu Liufu sighed.
Zheng Lang pretended not to hear that although he was slacking off in order to make some concessions and make some concessions, he had to stick to some bottom lines.
We cannot give in too much. Liao Xingzong returned to Youzhou from Changchun River and was only in real confrontation. It took only two months to make big strides. Now we will make big strides. What should we do next?
But give them some nostalgic thoughts step by step.
The large group of people came to the Qingliang River in the north of Yong'an Mountain and set up a camp. The avoidance of the bureau began.
A few days later, Yelu Hongji came to Zheng Lang's tent and said to Zheng Lang: "Mr. Zheng, how about accompanying me out for hunting?"
Zheng Lang and Guo Kui shook their eyes tacitly, without hesitation, and replied: "Okay."
As soon as they left, the group came to Yong'an Mountain in a dusty manner. It was Zeng Gongliang and his party. After Zhao Zhen issued an edict, Zeng Gongliang was also worried about Zheng Lang's safety and rushed to the Khitan almost without stopping. After coming to Youzhou, the Khitan companion asked them to rest in the inn. He was rejected by Zeng Gongliang, and they immediately came to Yong'an Mountain.
Liao Xingzong asked them to sit down and said, "I have sent someone to pass the letter of the country to Zheng Lang."
"Your Majesty, where is Mr. Zheng?"
"It's a coincidence that he seemed to have been hunting with King Liang. I don't know the specifics, but there are two guards left in the military camp. You go and ask about the situation."
Zeng Gongliang didn't think much about it and came to a large tent next to him. The Khitan was very cautious about Zheng Lang. Although he lived in a tent, there was everything in the tent and nothing was missing, which was very luxurious. Before Zeng Gongliang could ask, Zhang Hai asked loudly: "Where is Yang Xi, Wang Sixing, and Zheng Xianggongren?"
"Mr. Zheng accompanied King Liang out for hunting."
“When will you come back?”
Seeing Zhang Hai robbing him of his question, Zeng Gongliang was not angry. This was a manifestation of protecting the master and loyalty.
"We don't know, Zhang Dutou, but Mr. Zheng ordered us before leaving, that this business will be out for a long time."
"Why did it take a long time?" Zeng Gongliang asked in confusion.
Wang Sixing replied: "I don't know, but I heard from Mr. Zheng that if you want to be a good emperor, you must inspect the people's conditions and understand the sufferings of the people. Therefore, you can walk around in the name of hunting. Student Zeng, please ask the four little ladies, they should be clearer."
"Four little ladies?"
"They are the four newly acquired concubines by Mr. Zheng."
Zeng Gongliang's face changed. This was not good news. It was not a big problem to teach the Khitan prince Confucianism. Confucianism had not been understood in the Song Dynasty. Besides, the Khitan could be talked about in the east or west. But it was not good to teach the Khitan princes to know the sufferings of the people. It was even worse. Others could do it, but Zheng Lang could not do it. You are the two leaders of gentlemen. How many people are watching every move?
"Where are they?"
"Justice Zeng, please wait," Yang Xi knocked on the bead curtain and said, "Four ladies, I will come to the envoy, please come out to meet."
The four girls should be young women, all dressed up as young women. They were all dressed in the clothes of the Song Dynasty women, and even their hair was combed in the high bun of the Song Dynasty. However, they were all beautiful, and even their movements were very graceful when they raised their hands.
Zeng Gongliang frowned even more: "You are..."
"I have met the envoy of Song. The slaves are the concubines of the Grand Duke Zheng."
Zeng Gongliang asked Yang Xi unhappily: "Waiting Yang, when did this happen?"
"It will take about twenty days to come. Zheng Gong went to the palace in Youzhou to teach Liang Wang. After he came back, he brought four young ladies."
"I heard that Mr. Zheng became the Grand Tutor of the Khitan?"
"Sir Zeng, why did you say this? Zheng Xianggong didn't even dare to agree to the imperial examination. How dare he be the Grand Tutor of the Khitan?"
Zeng Gongliang's expression was slightly resolved, but the next sentence made him unhappy again. Yang Xi said again: "The King of Liang of Khitan and a gentle and elegant lady from the Duke of Wei, what is the name of?"
"Call Xiao Guanyin," Liu Fei'er said on the side.
"Yes, it's called Xiao Guanyin. Both of them are quite supportive. Mr. Zheng is pitying his talents and teaches them carefully. But he did not do anything beyond his control."
"Nothing!" Zeng Gongliang groaned. Even if he was not the Grand Tutor, he could not teach the Khitan Crown Prince carefully. Besides, there was also the beautiful little lady in the Duke of Wei, who was a mess. Suddenly he calmed down. Zheng Lang was not such a person. If there was a reason for doing this, there must be other truths. So he asked: "Four little ladies, when will the Grand Duke Zheng return?"
Zhang Jiuyue owed a gift and said, "Envoy Song, I'm afraid you will disappoint. In this industry, Mr. Zheng was originally intended to take King Liang to inspect everywhere, and I don't know where I go. Before leaving, he told me that this industry may take many days, and may be two or three months?"
"Isn't it a mistake for the imperial examination?"
"The imperial examination was originally an invitation from Your Majesty, but Your Majesty has come to Yong'an Mountain to avoid the office. Most of the imperial examinations will not be able to preside over the imperial examinations."
He didn't ask anything at all, even if he asked, it was not good news. If he brought what he heard today back to the capital, what Zeng Gongliang could imagine in his heart would not know how many attacks Zheng Lang would be. He had no choice but to ask for a visit to Liao Xingzong again.
Liao Xingzong was very polite to receive the reception and asked when he met, "Did you see Zheng Lang?"
"No, we came here to deliberately address Mr. Zheng and asked His Majesty to send someone to find Mr. Zheng."
"allow."
Zeng Gongliang withdrew, and Liao Xingzong looked at each other with several trusted ministers and laughed. He didn't want to break up with the Song Dynasty. After all, 500,000 yuan a year was a considerable income for the Khitan. But there were other ways to get Zheng Lang on the road of no return step by step. Zheng Lang was smart, but no matter how smart he was, could he have so many ministerial opponents?
"Come with me," said Liao Xingzong.
When he arrived at the tent where Zheng Lang was, Yang Xi and Wang Si bowed down to salute.
"Get up, you have done a good job. After completing this errand, I will receive a lot of rewards."
The thing Zheng Lang and Guo Kui were most worried about happened. Although they had been in the Khitan for a long time, they were carefully selected and the Khitan deliberately bought them, and there would be someone betrayed them. Besides, the pitiful status of the general, let alone the soldiers.
Liao Xingzong asked again: "What are Zheng Lang's plans?"
He couldn't figure it out. After so long, he had never seen Zheng Lang worry about anything. He sent Liu Liufu and others to test it, but he had no intention of surrendering, and felt something was wrong in his heart.
"Report to Your Majesty, our position is low. I'm afraid only General Guo will know the inside story. But occasionally I pay attention to the audience and hear what Mr. Zheng said will take another year, and what else Zhao Zhong has to say. In addition, I have also hinted to us that you don't have to worry. Although you will stay for a long time, you will eventually return to the Southern Dynasties. The rest are unknown."
"One year?"
"What arrangements will Zheng Xianggong have in about a year later?"
"Who is Zhao Zhong?"
"A foreign general," Yang Xi originally wanted to say "Nizhi" (avoiding Yelu Zongzhen's taboo, the Khitan changed the Jurchen to "Nizhi", but it was unlikely that these Jurchen slaves were bought, and it was impossible to buy various tribes. It seemed that the Khitan was gathering these Jurchen people, and they said that it caused some trouble and was not good for them, so they endured it.
Liao Xingzong didn't care either. In the battle of the Northwest, the Song Dynasty used foreign soldiers and generals more, and then looked at the four girls and asked, "Did Zheng Lang have sex with you?"
"No," the four girls said resentfully. Whenever they saw Zheng Lang's style, they were envious. When they heard that they were sent to serve Zheng Lang, everyone was very happy, but Zheng Lang was unfamiliar with the charm and never touched them.
"Don't you please let him down?"
"I don't know either."
"In this way, if you become Zheng Lang's concubine, you will be rewarded with your daughter and wife." After all, you are the emperor, so it is not easy to explain. It is out of the way. You should use your means to seduce Zheng Lang. Whoever makes him moved will be rewarded.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liao Xingzong withdrew from the tent and asked Xiao Ala, the prime minister of the Northern Prefecture, and said, "Xiao Qing, what strategy do you think this son can use to return to the Southern Dynasty in a year?"
Xiao Ala shook his head. There was something easy. Unless Zheng Lang had to fly with wings and had to fly high, he would let tens of thousands of arrows shoot down. Liao Xingzong touched his beard, but he thought about it himself, but he couldn't figure it out.
Liu Liufu leaned forward and said, "If you want to take out Zheng Lang's words, you should break through the four women."
"I think so too, but this son is a gentleman. If he is not tempted by beauty, what can I do?"
Liu Liufu said: "I have a way."
"What's the plan?"
"When I was choosing, because this boy was upright, all the people I chose were virgins. Although they were good at using their intentions, they were not good enough to be charmed. I am afraid they didn't know much about sexual intercourse, so I think they asked some women to teach some arts in the sex industry."
Xiao Ala and others laughed.
"In addition, some drugs can be used at the right time so that the seeds will sink deeper and deeper..."
If Liu Liufu had made this plan in the Song Dynasty, he would have made the ministers beat him to death, but it didn't matter in the Khitan. Liao Xingzong was overjoyed and said, "That's right, Liu Qing, you send your men to Youzhou to invite a few famous prostitutes to come and teach these women."
