第四十三章 塞上牛羊,雄图霸业,共没尘底(2 / 2)

阿紫道:“皇上,你封我姐夫做大官,我也要做个官儿玩玩。不用像姐夫那样大,可也不能太小,让人家瞧我不起。”耶律洪基笑道:“咱们大辽国只有女人管事,却没女人做官的。这样吧,你本来已是郡主了,我升你一级,封你做公主,叫做什么公主呢?是了,叫做‘平南公主’!”阿紫嘟起了小嘴,道:“做公主可不干!”耶律洪基奇道:“为什么不做?”阿紫道:“你跟我姐夫是结义兄弟,我如受封为公主,跟你女儿一样,岂不矮了一辈?”

耶律洪基见阿紫对萧峰神情亲热,而萧峰虽居高位,却不近女色,最近也才只娶了一位妻室,照着辽人常习,这样的大官,别说三妻四妾,连三十妻四十妾也娶了,想来对阿紫也颇具情意,多半为了她年纪尚小,不便成亲,于是先娶了她姐姐,过些时日再去娶她,笑道:“你这公主是长公主,和我妹子同辈,不是和我女儿同辈。我不但封你为‘平南公主’,连你的一件心愿,也一并替你完偿了如何?”

阿紫俏脸一红,道:“我有什么心愿?陛下怎又知道了?你做皇帝的人,却也这么信口开河。”她向来天不怕、地不怕,对耶律洪基说话,也不拘什么君臣之礼。

辽国礼法本甚粗疏,萧峰又是耶律洪基极宠信的贵人,阿紫这么说,耶律洪基只嘻嘻一笑,道:“这平南公主你如不做,我便不封了。一、二、三,你做不做?

阿紫盈盈下拜,低声道:“阿紫向皇上谢恩。”萧峰也躬身行礼,道:“谢陛下恩典。”他待阿紫犹如自己亲妹,她既受辽帝恩封,萧峰自也道谢。

耶律洪基却道自己所料不错,心道:“我让他风风光光地把一对姐妹都娶进门,然后命他征宋,他自是更效死力。”萧峰心中却在盘算:“皇上此番南来,有甚用意?他为什么将阿紫的公主封号称为‘平南’?平南,平南,难道他想向南朝用兵吗?”

耶律洪基握住萧峰的右手,说道:“兄弟,咱二人多日不见,过去说一会儿话。”

二人并骑南驰,骏足坦途,片刻间已驰出十余里外。平野上田畴荒芜,麦田中都长满了荆棘杂草。萧峰寻思:“宋人怕我们出来打草谷,以致数十万亩良田都抛荒了。”

耶律洪基纵马上了一座小丘,立马丘顶,顾盼自豪。萧峰跟了上去,随着他目光望去,但见一路长坂南下,峰峦起伏,地势渐低,大地无有尽处。

耶律洪基以鞭梢指着南方,说道:“兄弟,记得三十余年之前,父皇曾携我来此,向南指点大宋的锦绣山河。”萧峰道:“是。”耶律洪基道:“你自幼长于南蛮之地,多识南方的山川人物,到底在南方住,是不是比咱们北国苦寒之地舒适得多?”萧峰道:“地方到处都是一般。说到‘舒适’二字,只要过得舒齐安适,心中便快活了。北人不惯在南方住,南人也不惯在北方住。老天爷既作了这番安排,倘若强要调换,不免自寻烦恼。”耶律洪基道:“你以北人而去住在南方,等到住惯了,却又移来北地,岂不心下烦恼?”萧峰道:“臣是浪荡江湖之人,四海为家,不比寻常的农夫牧人。臣得蒙陛下赐以栖身之所,高官厚禄,深感恩德,更有什么烦恼?”

耶律洪基回过头来,向他脸上凝视。萧峰不便和他四目相视,微笑着将目光移了开去。耶律洪基缓缓说道:“兄弟,你我虽有君臣之分,却是结义兄弟,多日不见,却如何生分了?”萧峰道:“当年微臣不知陛下是我大辽国天子,以致多有冒渎,妄自高攀,既知之后,岂敢仍以结义兄弟自居?”耶律洪基叹道:“做皇帝的人,反而不能结交几个推心置腹、义气深重的汉子。兄弟,我若随你行走江湖,无拘无束,只怕反更快活。”

萧峰微笑道:“行走江湖,虽是无拘无束,但是风餐露宿,朝不保夕,也未必能得真心快活。”

耶律洪基哈哈大笑,说道:“那也罢了,兄弟,哥哥此次南来,你可知为的是什么事?”萧峰道:“正要陛下示知。”

耶律洪基笑道:“第一件事,是要与贤弟畅聚别来之情。贤弟此番西行,虽未成功娶得那西夏公主,但西夏国的形势险易、兵马强弱,想必都已了然于胸。以贤弟之见,西夏是否可取?”

萧峰吃了一惊,寻思:“皇上的图谋着实不小,既要南占大宋,又想西取西夏。”便道:“臣子此番西去,并无娶妻之意,只想瞧瞧西夏公主招亲的热闹,全没想到战阵攻伐之事。陛下明鉴,臣子历险江湖,近战搏击,差有一日之长,但行军布阵,臣子实在一窍不通。”耶律洪基笑道:“贤弟不必过谦。西夏国王这番大张旗鼓地招驸马,却闹了个虎头蛇尾,无疾而终,当真好笑。其实当日贤弟带得十万兵去,必能将那西夏公主娶回南京,回来再纳了你的旧人,左拥右抱,甚是美哉。”萧峰微微一笑,心想:“皇上只道有强兵在手,要什么便有什么。”

耶律洪基说道:“做哥哥的此番南来,第二件事为的是替兄弟增爵升官。贤弟听封。”萧峰道:“微臣受恩已深,不敢再望……”耶律洪基朗声道:“南院大王萧峰听封!”萧峰只得翻身下鞍,拜伏在地。

耶律洪基说道:“南院大王萧峰公忠体国,为朕股肱,兹晋爵为宋王,以平南大元帅统率三军,钦此。”原来辽国朝制,北院统兵,南院统民,现辽帝进封萧峰统帅三军,那是大增他的权位了。

萧峰心下迟疑,不知如何是好,说道:“微臣无功,实不敢受此重恩。”耶律洪基森然道:“怎么?你拒不受命么?”萧峰听他口气严峻,知无可推辞,只得叩头道:“臣萧峰谢恩。”耶律洪基哈哈大笑,道:“这样才是我的好兄弟呢。”双手扶起,说道:“兄弟,我这次南来,却不是以南京为止,御驾要到汴梁。”

萧峰又是一惊,颤声道:“陛下要到汴梁,那……那怎么……”耶律洪基笑道:“兄弟以平南大元帅统率三军,为我先行,咱们直驱汴梁。日后兄弟的宋王府,便设在汴梁赵煦小子的皇宫之中。”萧峰道:“陛下是说咱们要和南朝开仗?”

耶律洪基道:“不是我要和南朝开仗,而是南蛮要和我较量。南朝太皇太后这老婆子主政之时,一切总算井井有条,我虽有心南征,却也没十足把握。现下老太婆死了,赵煦这小子乳臭未干,居然派人整饬北防、训练三军,又要募兵养马,筹办粮秣,嘿嘿,这小子不是为了对付我,却又对付谁?”

萧峰道:“南朝训练士卒,那也不必去理他。这几年来宋辽互不交兵,两国都很太平。赵煦若来侵犯,咱们自是打他个落花流水,杀他个匹马南归。他若畏惧陛下声威,不敢轻举妄动,咱们也不必去跟这小子一般见识。”
