Chapter 152 Internal Fight
Li Zhang knew little or very much about Han Delang, but what he knew was mainly the Han Delang in the novel of Romance. He didn't know much about Han Delang in real history.
For example, Li Zhang only knew that Han Derang was a Han Chinese, but he did not know that Han Derang was later given the surname Yelu and changed his name to Yelu Longyun. Although Han Derang had no descendants, Empress Dowager Xiao adopted several royal children to Han Derang as his son. Even after his death, there were still royal children adopted Han Derang from time to time as his queen.
However, although Li Zhang didn't know the above, Yan Niang was very clear about Han Derang's affairs. She immediately gave him a blank look, and then explained to him the fact that Han Derang was given the surname and that the royal family was his descendants.
"Awesome! Everyone is dead, but the Emperor of Liao is so respectful to him. Unfortunately, I was born a few years later, otherwise I would have really wanted to see this Han Derang!" Li Zhang couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing Yan Niang's story.
When he was young, his fiancée was taken away, but he did not feel depressed. Instead, he became the leader of the Han ministers of the Liao Kingdom. Later, he became the queen mother's fiancée's fiancée, and also asked his rival's son to fulfill his filial piety for him. Looking at Han Derang's life, it was simply the standard match for the male protagonists in later online literature.
"The King of Jin is of course very powerful. It was with his help that Empress Dowager Chengtian had created a situation of revival for our Great Liao Dynasty. However, it was precisely because of his great contributions and his identity was too special that there was a conflict among his descendants due to inheritance." Yan Niang said again at this time that King of Jin was the title of Han Derang. Liao inherited the Tang system and Jin was the place of dragon rise in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the title of King of Jin was also extremely noble.
"By the way, you said just now that Han Derang had no descendants, so Empress Dowager Xiao selected his children from the royal family to adopt him. Wouldn't that mean Yelu Yanshou is also a royal family?" Li Zhang suddenly thought that Yan Niang had just said that Yelu Yanshou was Han Derang's son, and immediately asked again.
"Haha, Yelu Yanshou is also worthy of Yelu's surname? In fact, he is not a Khitan at all, but a Han Chinese. As for his relationship with King Jin, it is quite complicated..."
With Yan Niang's story, Li Zhang finally got to know Han Delang more. It turned out that because Han Delang had never had any children, he could only adopt the child from others to inherit his own incense. In addition to Empress Dowager Xiao picking out the child from the royal children to adopt him, Han Delang also adopted a child from his brother, which was Yelu Yanshou.
Speaking of which, a man has no offspring, he usually adopts children from his brothers. After all, the child is the same surname as him, so he should inherit the incense at home. Therefore, Yelu Yanshou's surname was originally Han, but he only changed his surname to Yelu after adopting Han Delang. Moreover, in his opinion, the status left by Han Delang and his family property should be inherited by him.
But Empress Dowager Xiao adopted his grandson Yelu Zongye to Han Derang. Yelu Zongye's father, Yelu Longxu, the current emperor of the Liao Kingdom. It can be said that he was originally a prince and was adopted by Empress Dowager Xiao to Han Derang. Therefore, after Han Derang's death, he officially inherited the throne of King Jin left by Han Derang and most of his family property.
However, although Yelu Longxu gave Han Derang's inheritance to his son, he did not treat Yelu Yanshou unfairly. He gave Han Derang's former Duke of Chu to Yelu Yanshou, and also appointed him as the Privy Council envoy of the Southern Court, in charge of a considerable portion of military power.
However, Yelu Yanshou was an ambitious person. He was not satisfied with the things that Yelu Longxu gave him. Instead, he wanted to regain the throne of his father Han Derang, so he was unable to get along with Yelu Zongye and even contradicted Yelu Longxu several times.
At first, Yelu Longxu could still give him some points in view of Han Derang's face, but as Yelu Yanshou became more and more arrogant, Yelu Longxu finally couldn't stand him and demoted his official position again and again. However, Yelu Yanshou did not repent at all. It happened that the Dashi sent a delegation to Liao Kingdom to propose marriage some time ago. Yelu Longxu also wanted to use this to establish some relationship with Dashi. After all, marriage is nothing more than giving a woman and some money, but it may bring countless times of profit in the future.
However, although Yelu Longxu agreed to marry a marriage, he was worried about choosing envoys to send brides. After all, the food was too far away. Even if the Liao Kingdom was strong, it could not guarantee the safety of the journey. Moreover, even if everything went smoothly, it would take several years to go back and forth. Moreover, the envoys to send brides also needed a substantial aristocrat to take responsibility. But who would be willing to spend so long to send brides to the brides and even risk their lives?
In this case, Yelu Yanshou was recommended because he offended too many people. Yelu Longxu had long been bored with Yelu Yanshou, and just took this opportunity to call him out so that his ears could be quieter, so in the end, Yelu Yanshou was designated as an envoy.
Yelu Yanshou was furious after knowing this, but the emperor had already ordered him to give up, and he had no choice but to lead the mission to leave Liao Kingdom unwillingly. However, Yelu Yanshou did not give up, so he came up with a solution, that is, if the princess who was married died, he would not need to go to Dashi anymore. As for how the princess died, he certainly had a way to make the princess die in an accident.
However, when Yelu Yanshou was discussing with his confidant how to kill the princess, that is, Yan Niang, he did not expect that Yan Niang would hear it by chance, which made her very scared, so she kept planning to escape, but she could not find an opportunity before. Until that day, Li Zhang and Yelu Yanshou had a conflict, causing most of the delegation to squeeze in front. When the princess's car was left unattended, Yan Niang found the opportunity to escape.
"Then why didn't you escape to another place but to our restaurant?" Li Zhang asked again after hearing Yan Niang's story, his eyes kept staring at the other party.
"I... I am not familiar with the place in Tokyo. Even if I escape from the mission, I have nowhere to go. When you had a conflict with Yelu Yanshou that day, I saw it from behind, so I thought the most dangerous place was the safest place. Then I found my clothes and mingled into the restaurant. But I didn't have any bad intentions, I just wanted to find a hiding place!" Yan Niang said with a pitiful expression again.
