Chapter 299 You come and I go
Madam Wang was so frightened that she dared to hide it. She told her everything about her trip to the East Palace yesterday.
Including the incident where she asked Ru Lan to guard against Ming Lan and when Kang Wang was beaten.
After hearing this, Sheng Hong finally knew what the problem was.
After working on it for a long time, Zhao Xing asked him to check the Kang family. It was to target the Kang Wang family, not because of him.
After thinking about this, Sheng Hong was angry and relieved at the same time.
"How many times have I told you? My mother doesn't like my eldest sister, and she tells you not to interact with her, but you just don't listen!" Sheng Hong scolded.
Actually, Sheng Hong also hates the Kang Wang family, but he is what he is today, and the Wang family has given him a lot of help.
Whether it is true or false, he must remember the kindness of the Wang family.
Of course, I can’t say anything to tell Mrs. Wang not to associate with the Kang Wang family.
I usually use Mrs. Sheng's words to reprimand Mrs. Wang.
In this way, even if outsiders know it, they cannot say that he is ungrateful, they can only say that he is filial.
In the original play, Gu Tingye's evaluation of Sheng Hong was very pertinent. Sheng Hong is a person who loves his reputation more than anything else.
“That is my natal sister after all. My natal family is far away and I haven’t seen her for many years. Only one sister is so close and doesn’t let me move around. How can this be possible?” Wang Da The lady said aggrievedly.
"You usually don't listen to your mother, so just go with her. Why did you take her to the East Palace?" Sheng Hong said with an ugly face.
"Didn't my sister say that she missed Rulan, so I asked her to go with her."
"You..."
Sheng Hong felt anxious when he saw that Madam Wang was still quibbling. .
However, he also knew that he could not tell the truth to Mrs. Wang, so he sneered: "It's better now. She slandered His Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace. His Highness the Crown Prince was furious and asked me to find out how many deaths occurred in the Kang family before. This time she will be divorced even if she doesn't die, but she can return to serve her mother-in-law." "Official," Mrs. Wang said anxiously: "How could your Highness be angry over such a trivial matter? Are you tricking me?”
"Am I lying to you?" Sheng Hong snorted coldly: "Not long ago, if Eunuch Sanshui, who is next to His Highness, came to tell the truth, it could still be false!"
"It must be Minglan who did it!" Wang Da The lady gritted her teeth and said, "If it hadn't been for her, how could His Highness have gone to war over such a trivial matter?"
"Enough!" Sheng Hong shouted, "What does this matter have to do with Minglan? Why don't you bring it?" If she goes and doesn't talk nonsense in the East Palace, how can this happen? "
Don't say that this matter has nothing to do with Minglan, even if it is really related to Minglan, it is too late for Sheng Hong to be happy.
Just because of this trivial matter, Zhao Xing went to war to vent his anger on Minglan, which shows that Zhao Xing cares about Minglan very much.
Mrs. Wang is afraid that Minglan will steal the prince's favor from Rulan, but Sheng Hong is not worried.
For Sheng Hong, both of them are his daughters, including Shulan. Whoever is favored will benefit both him and the Sheng family.
"Officer, you have to save your sister." Madam Wang said anxiously, holding Sheng Hong's arm.
"Save?" Sheng Hong sneered: "How to save? His Royal Highness may know everything, how dare I hide it? I have helped her deal with the aftermath over the years, all for the sake of the Wang family, I You can't involve the entire Sheng family just to help her!"
"But she is my sister after all," Mrs. Wang said anxiously.
"I can't help it. You should inform your mother-in-law quickly. My father-in-law deserves to enjoy the Ancestral Temple. If my mother-in-law comes to the palace to plead for mercy, I don't think His Highness the Crown Prince will give him any face."
After Sheng Hong finished speaking, he walked away directly.
…………
Zhao Xing handed over the affairs of Prince Kang to Sheng Hong and didn’t pay much attention to it.
For him, dealing with the Kangwang family should not be too easy.
This incident is also a test for Sheng Hong. If Sheng Hong can handle the matter well, Zhao Xing will let him take over as the governor of Kaifeng.
The position of Kaifeng Fuyin is very important and must be filled by someone he trusts.
Zhao Xing does not have much trust in Sheng Hong, but Sheng Hong has the advantage of being able to see clearly the form.
This is enough.
A few days later, officials from the DPRK and China asked Zhao Xing to ascend the throne for the second time, but Zhao Xing refused again.
In fact, all the regulations and etiquette for the enthronement are in intensive preparation.
Even the reign name to be used after ascending the throne was drawn up for Zhao Xing to review.
However, the change of the reign period will happen after the new year. Normally, when the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he will continue to use the original reign name and wait until the next year to change the reign name. You do this to show your filial piety, and you can't act impatiently.
While Zhao Xing was acting with Baiguan, Li Ge also returned to Liao Kingdom.
Yelu Chongyuan was very angry when he learned that Li Ge failed to persuade the Song Dynasty to withdraw his troops.
However, when Li Ge told the inside story of the reason why the Song Dynasty increased its troops, Yelu Zhongyuan inquired carefully and felt relieved.
He is sure to destroy Yelu Yixin, but Yelu Yixin is very powerful and cannot be defeated quickly.
What Yelv Chongyuan was most worried about was that Song Dynasty and Xixia would intervene.
Once these two countries help Yelu Yixin, Yelu Yixin will have the capital to compete with him.
Therefore, when he heard that the Song Dynasty actually wanted to build the Great Wall in the north, he was not only not worried, but was overjoyed.
The construction of the Great Wall in the Song Dynasty required a large amount of manpower and material resources. Under such circumstances, it was simply not enough to support the Song Dynasty in sending troops.
As for whether the Great Wall built by the Song Dynasty would hinder his future southward march, he was not worried at all.
The prerequisite for going south is that he can become the emperor of Liao.
The place where the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom meet is a plain.
He has seen the Great Wall of the Han people. It was built along the mountains to form an effective defense against the nomadic tribes.
Even so, there have been many incidents in history of crossing the Great Wall and entering the customs.
Nowadays, a large area of land in the north has not been occupied by the Liao Kingdom.
What if the Song Dynasty built the Great Wall?
The city wall stretches for hundreds of miles and is in a plain. As long as it is unexpectedly attacked, how can it be defended?
Yelu Chongyuan immediately decided to launch a sneak attack on the capital that night.
Before, he sent someone to tell Yelu Yixin and give him a few days to consider and let him surrender.
Now that time has passed, Yelu Yixin has no intention of surrender, and Yelu Chongyuan has not sent anyone to inquire.
The two sides were in a stalemate.
Yelu Zhongyuan did this to make Yelu Yixin relax his vigilance.
Regardless of whether the Song Dynasty would withdraw its troops, he was already ready to launch a sneak attack.
As long as he can capture Shangjing City, even if Yelu Yixin escapes and he wins a great victory, he can win over the nobles who are still waiting and watching.
That night, the moon and stars were sparse, and late at night, Yelu Chongyuan launched a sneak attack.
Coupled with the internal support, Shangjing City was almost breached.
Unfortunately, Yelu Yixin reacted quickly and was on guard, so he failed in the end.
At dawn, Yelu Chongyuan could only call for gold and withdraw his troops.
Back at the camp, Yelu Zhongyuan got angry before going to sleep.
While I was sleeping soundly, I was woken up by someone.
Yelü Zhongyuan was just about to get angry when he saw his son Yelu Nerugu who looked embarrassed.
Yelü Zhongyuan saw his son's embarrassed expression and asked anxiously: "Nerugu, why are you back?"
"Father, I was attacked by a sneak attack last night and managed to escape." Yerunelugu said with a sad face.
When Yelu Zhongyuan saw his son, he had a bad premonition in his heart. When he heard his son said that he had been attacked by a sneak attack, he still couldn't believe it. He held his arm tightly and asked, "What's the loss?" How many soldiers and horses?”
“There are less than two thousand soldiers and horses left!” Yerunelugu said with his head lowered.
“What!”
Yelü Zhongyuan’s eyes darkened when he heard this, and he almost fainted.
"Pa!"
Yelu Zhongyuan slapped his son angrily: "Of the 50,000 elite soldiers, there are only less than two thousand left, so what are you doing back here?"
