After Shao Song

Chapter 162 Extra [-]: The end of Dashi (Thanks to the old Tianyu leader)

For the Song and Liao countries, Zhao Jiu and Yelu Dashi's close officials knew that they had the habit of writing letters, but no one knew what they wrote, and of course they didn't dare to pry into it. It's just that Duan Zhixing, who sent the letter that day, was a little strange. He has been working as an imperial official for several years, but it is rare to see Zhao Jiu look like this, he looks like he is relieved, more like he is sad.

However, Zhao Jiu didn't ponder for too long, and then ordered Pei Yong to fetch pen and ink, put the letter from Yelu Dashi into a box, and then came to the case, thought about it, and then wrote it in a flash. Duan Zhixing said: "When the ink is dry, you can pack the letter and send it back." Duan Zhixing naturally said yes, but Zhao Jiu ignored the cold weather and went straight out of Funing Palace, bringing Jingsai County King with him. Where did you go.

When Duan Zhixing was loading the letter, he could not help but see Zhao Guan's vigorous written reply: "The reed flowers are blooming by the river in the old capital. Brother Dashi can return home slowly."

Duan Zhixing thought that some time ago, while Zhao Song moved the capital to make a big adjustment, he still did not forget to send envoys to the Xiliao king who was suffering from serious illness, including those hard-won wild ginseng. A sentence comes to mind: Heroes cherish each other.

Two legendary monarchs, one only controlled half of the country, reorganized the old country and set off again, fighting for their lives again and again, and finally wiped out the money and avenged the shame, ruled the Yellow Emperor and moved the capital, and everyone in the world was afraid of submission.The other traveled thousands of miles, became stronger with every setback, and reestablished his country in a foreign country full of Turks. He had outstanding vision and extraordinary courage. Duan Zhixing was obviously just sending and receiving a letter, but he actually had some wonderful epic meaning. .

Times create heroes, and heroes create times. How it goes, we can only wait for future generations to comment.

It is said that Yanyun is eight thousand miles away from the Suiye River. Even though Chixinqi, who had just been transferred to the Imperial Guard, rushed to the capital of Ningxia, and was handed over to the envoy to Xiliao by Liang Jiaying, eating sand all the way to Balasha, the capital of Xiliao. Guncheng handed the reply to Yelu Dashi who could no longer get up from his bed. It was already late spring in April, and even the spring in the Western Region could not conceal it.

At this time, the hero of the generation was already skinny and skinny, and the black aura on his rough and arrogant face even Liang Jiaying, who was not familiar with medical science, thought it was an ominous sign. However, he heard Yelu Dashi holding the letter in his hand, with a bitter expression on his face, Said: "In a moment of weakness, I wrote such a letter to Zhao Song's official family. It made him laugh, but his magnanimity was something I didn't expect. Man, after all, I was born in a mortal body. What did I say about Yanshan back then? , even when you are about to die, you are not exempt from the vulgarity!"

A group of important ministers around him all changed their expressions. Xiao Ta Buyan almost burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, please, don't say such ominous words."

If Zhao Jiu is the founding king who led the masses to rebirth from the ashes, and has overwhelming prestige, then Yelu Dashi traveled thousands of miles and preserved the remaining Khitan veins, and also enjoys a supreme status in the hearts of these people.Seeing his dying words, not only the queen, but also many important ministers could not conceal their sorrow.

Xiao Orili, the King of the Sixth Academy of Western Liao and the Marshal of the Military and Horse Department who had just taken office, forced a smile and said: "Your Majesty, please don't say such depressing words. Otherwise, how should I deal with myself? Now is the time when the grass is green and the orioles are flying. , when you get better, the prince is still waiting to go horse racing with you."

"Life and death are destiny, destiny is constant. We have known these truths since we were young. Why do you deceive yourself in front of the noble envoy of the Song Dynasty?" Although Yelu Dashi's complexion was poor, his mind was exceptionally clear. He turned to Liang Jiaying and said: "Ambassador Liang, It has been 12 years since we met back then. Please wait a moment this time while I write one last letter to Zhao Guan’s family. It turns out that at that time you also talked about the scenery of Lingnan, and I also thought in my heart that after the country is stabilized, the north and south of the Yangtze River may be You can still see the horse race, but now there is no chance."

If Yelu Dashi hadn't turned into such a withered appearance, Liang Jiaying would have thought so much about you. Do you still want to invade the Song Dynasty?But he was obviously facing death and regretted not being able to visit the great rivers and mountains.Fortunately, I can only say goodbye and wait.

Xiao Orila and others knew that the correspondence between these two legendary monarchs was never allowed to be seen by others. They were about to lead the people to retreat, but Yelu Dashi kept him and said: "Ouli La, you go to the general." Master slave brings it here. After I finish writing it, I will ask him to hand it over to Liang Jiaying. I have something to tell you."

Xiao Weili had a stern look on his face and quickly agreed. Xiao Ta Buyan left with a clear pause. He wanted to turn around and say something, but saw that her husband had closed his eyes tiredly and said nothing after all. Left slowly.

This Khitan man, Yelu Taishinu, who once served as a personal guard for the Fourth Prince of Jin Dynasty, was stabbed in the face by Song Dynasty, and was almost tortured to death by Zhang Rong, King of Lu of Song Dynasty, was ordered to pack the letter and was about to leave, when Yelu Dashi suddenly stopped him. He said: "Master slave."

"The guilty minister is here." Master Yelu quickly knelt down and said.

"Why is it so? You and I are from the same clan. In terms of blood relations, you are the second son of Jingzong's late emperor Liang Wang Longyou, and you are more authentic than my Yuanzhi clan. Don't be afraid. I just want to say that in the past, the earth collapsed and the mountains were destroyed. You and I are just the same. The clan had no choice but to drive away the slaves for the Jurchens. But since we have settled here today, we must remember that we are the descendants of white horses and green oxen. We must not let ourselves down and keep this hard-won family fortune. Stop being a lost dog!"

Rao was such a tactful person as Taishinu. After hearing these words, his eyes couldn't help but moisten. He was unable to express any loyalty. He knocked his head heavily on the ground and then walked away resolutely.

After he left, Yelu Dashi stretched out his hand and called out: "Oli La, come here."

Xiao Orila didn't dare to neglect, he quickly stepped forward, held the master's hand tightly, half-knelt by the couch, and said: "Whatever the master orders, I will do it immediately!"

"Don't be like this. We grew up together. It's just that people are about to die. I think too much. In the future, you will assist Ta Buyan and Yilie in government affairs. It is a tradition for my Khitan heroine to be regent, and Yilie only wants you It can be seen that we did our best because of the difficult situation of crossing mountains and rivers and crossing deserts. As for how far we have achieved, I will not blame you. It is just a pity that we will not be able to go to Linhuang Mansion with you, Yanshan and Yihun after all. Take a bath and sing "Jian Jia Cang Cang"!

Xiao Weili finally couldn't help it and burst into tears. Didn't he know that Yelu Dashi had been vaguely aware that he and Xiao Ta were not smoking anymore? friction.To be honest, Xiao Weili and Xiao Tabuyan are very familiar with each other. They are from the same clan and have a close relationship. They can't help but support each other in a foreign country. They have become in-laws a few years ago, but all of this is... Under the premise of Yelu Dashi's health.Since ancient times, it has been rare for a heroine to sit in court and leave an important minister alone. However, Yelu Dashi sacrificed everything and traveled [-] miles to the west, traveled across mountains and rivers through deserts, and fought hard day and night. He was absolutely unwilling to watch the country die in internal fighting, so he There will be such a move with emotion and reason.Even I don't want to call myself myself, as if I was still the young clan member who just won the top prize in high school decades ago.

"What your majesty said is that the empress has great talents, and I have received your great favor. A bereaved dog will follow you on the westward expedition and be named a marshal and become a king. There is nothing to repay in this life. I will handle your state affairs that time. In the future, your flesh and blood will be regarded as the orthodoxy, and if there is even the slightest deviation, you will not live well and die, and you will not return to your hometown to be buried!" After finishing speaking, he took a few steps back and kowtowed heavily.

Yelu Dashi smiled bitterly and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, it really doesn't have to be like this." I used to be so heroic, but today I have to learn the ways of those concubines, playing with people's hearts, and thinking about ambitions. It's really ridiculous. I don't know that Zhao in the east On the other side of Jiu, what will happen when he is dying?
Yelu Dashi's illness lasted for another summer under various legendary elixirs, but everyone could see that he was in great pain just to hold on and lay a solid foundation for Daliao!

This summer, Prince Yi Lie didn't know how many times he scolded him. Once, in a rage, he hit him with a memorandum. Although the grand master's slave pulled him away, it still scared the child to tears.

"Cry, you know how to cry. Do you know that last year's household registration statistics showed that Hu Si'or Luduo's "old people" in this dynasty were only 24 households. Do you know what it means to control a land of thousands of miles with the foundation of 24 households? , you are crying, when the Seljuk Turks come to attack, can you cry to death for their Khan!" Xiaota couldn't stand it anymore, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, take care of yourself, the child is only 13 years old, sir. I will educate him slowly."

"13 years old, is 13 years old young? The emperor of this dynasty, Shengzong, was 12 years old when he succeeded to the throne. The tower is not smoke-free. Tell me, can you do what the Empress Dowager Chengtian did?"

The Empress Dowager Chengtian is the famous Xiao Chuo and Xiao Yanyan.

"I dare not say that I have the skills of Empress Dowager Chengtian, but as long as I have a breath left, I will protect the country, lead the warriors with bows and arrows, and protect the shelter that Your Majesty has brought us with your health." Xiao Ta Buyan said solemnly.

Yelu Dashi sighed heavily, drove the others out, and said: "Queen, help me to the window to enjoy the wind."

Don't you know what's going on with you?Can you get up?But Xiao Ta Buyan didn't say anything, drove the others away and followed the instructions. Yelu Dashi stood up miraculously and actually walked to the closed window in the past. However, Xiao Ta Buyan had already felt that her husband's weight had increased. The young woman was frighteningly young, but after being married for many years, she still opened the huge easterly window lattice. Yelu Dashi felt the late summer evening breeze slightly, looked at the grassland with lush grass and cattle and sheep, and finally showed a smile and said: " The tower is not smoke-free. I have had a hard time these past few months, but after all, the good news came a few days ago, do you know?"

Xiaota Buyan has already taken full regency, how could he not know, but for the sake of her husband's happiness, he still said: "Your Majesty will also tell my concubine any good news."

"Li Gang, this bastard, was finally too sick to hold on any longer, so he was forcibly sent back to his hometown in Fujian by Zhao Jiu. From now on, we Khitan descendants don't have to suffer from this old man anymore! Hahahaha cough cough" Xiao Ta Buyan's heart tightened, He quickly helped her husband sit on the Persian carpet and said, "Your Majesty, don't be overjoyed or sad. Li Gang is just an old man and he doesn't deserve this."

"It's not worth it. This old man has been so arrogant and domineering over the years. You think I always advise you not to be angry. In fact, you are so aggrieved. I just can't help it. It's better now. I can leave with more peace of mind."

"Your Majesty, you said again."

"Okay, Ta Buyan, don't deceive yourself, listen, after I leave, I have already agreed with Zhao Song's official family that my bones will be buried in Yanyun. I know his character best, so don't argue with him too much. After all, he is more suitable to lead troops to fight than you in the land of the Fourth World War. With the prestige I left behind, what you have to do is to guarantee the integrity of these people in their hometown. Be loyal, and at the same time continue to communicate with the Song Dynasty, this ally must continue to be."

Xiaota Buyan knew that her husband was explaining his funeral affairs. Although he was as sad as a chrysanthemum, he still endured the pain and wrote down everything. The Yelv Stone seemed to be reflecting on the past. That night, he talked a lot intermittently. He was recalling and explaining the Khitan bereaved family. , hegemony in the West Sea, the advancement of Confucianism, the relationship between Song and Liao, and even many trivial matters in childhood. Xiaota Buyan listened at first, but in the end she had to pick up the charcoal pen from Yanjing and write it down one by one. She already felt, These were the last words my husband left for me, and I didn't want to miss a word.

Yelu Dashi didn't know when he fell asleep. In his dream, he seemed to see his young self, the number one scholar in the army, wearing iron and fish scale armor, riding a strong horse, and the horse's hooves stepped on the flat ground at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, as if flying. Galloping over, he came to look at his old self.

"Aren't you leaving yet? I've been thinking about it for 20 years!"

Yelu Dashi struggled to sit up and raised his hand to hold his young self.

But the young self ran away on horseback. Suddenly, the Jin soldiers invaded south in large numbers and captured Zhongjing. Some of them were unwilling to support their uncle Yelu Chun as emperor and continued to resist. The honest elder also came, still looking like a good old man. , said: "Well done, well done, come and join us."

Immediately afterwards, a fully armored Song Dynasty man appeared in front of him. Yelu Dashi took a good look at it and then smiled: "Zhao Guanjia, at your age, do you want to be with Dashi Huangquan?"

Zhao Jiu in the dream was still as high-spirited as the first time we met, and said: "I sent Dashi Linya on his way westward, so what if I send him off again now?" After saying this, he started humming, which was clearly his favorite "Iron-Blooded Heart".

Yes, the big waves wash over the sand, the wasteland and the bright moon will eventually come to an end.

Yelu Dashi finally rode on his beloved horse and ran towards the sun from Suiye River. As the wind blew, his ailments gradually disappeared. Also disappearing with them were Xiao Ta Buyan, Xiao Weili La and Yi. Lie, Yerunuko
This Daliao is left to you.

There were cries all around. In reality, the concubines and courtiers also discovered that Yelu Dashi had taken his last breath and began to cry.

The sun that has shone on Khitan for nearly 20 years has set.

In the late summer of the 17th year of Jianyan's reign in the Song Dynasty, Yelu Dashi, the founding emperor of Western Liao Dynasty, passed away at the age of 48. His temple name was Dezong.

　Yelu Dashi's age is controversial. In order to make him and Zhao Jiu the same generation, he was made younger.

　　I don’t know that I didn’t write about the heroic end of the Central Asian overlord. I welcome corrections.
