Chapter 313 Entering Xishan Garden, the first fight
Chapter 313: Entering Xishan Garden and fighting for the first time
Shen Tang and others returned to Xihuatan and rested for a day the next day. Then, an order came. The peace talks began. The Jin side was led by Pu Sanzhuo!
The location of the peace talks this time was not in the palace, nor in an official office. Pusanzhuo reported to the emperor and chose a garden called Xishan Garden at the foot of Xishan Mountain not far from Xihuatan.
In the early morning, Shen Tang and others had just finished cleaning up when a group of officers and soldiers came and led them in the direction of Xishan Garden.
Xihuatan is on the west side of Zhongdu, not far from Xishan Garden. After walking for about half an hour, everyone came to a beautiful forest garden. After entering the gate, they saw a rockery in the forest garden. Like forests and surrounded by streams, this scenery is different from that of Xihuatan, but it has its own characteristics.
"Master Shen!"
Pusanzhuo had already invited people to wait here. As soon as Shen Tang and others entered, they saw Pusanzhuo leading more than ten people to greet them.
After introducing each other, the two groups of people gathered together and entered the depths of Xishan Garden. After passing through the nine-curved corridor and passing through several rockery barriers, an exquisite waterside building came into view.
This building looks like a huge boat, but it is made of stone masonry. The entire building extends into the water, and there is even a water pavilion platform that extends directly to the water.
Before turning to the main entrance, I saw the three words "Jade Boat" written on the plaque!
Pusanzhuo led everyone into it. Although there was only one floor, the interior was dozens of steps in radius. There were some separate small rooms around it, and in the middle, there was a huge hall that could accommodate dozens of people. .
"Master Shen, it is because of your support that our peace talks can be held in Xishan Garden this time. You know, His Majesty loves Xishan Garden very much, especially the rockery, which was even carved and shaped by His Majesty himself. For the rest of the people, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to enter. In addition, although the peace talks are important, Your Majesty has not set a time limit. Moreover, many of us are meeting each other for the first time, so why not start the peace talks today? How about putting things aside and getting to know each other first?"
Naturally, Shen Tang did not refuse this. In this peace negotiation, the ones who are anxious should be the Jin people. Sooner or later, there will not be much difference between himself and others. In fact, the longer the time goes on, the more benefits his side can get. will be bigger.
For example, if he finds an opportunity to directly provoke a war between Wan Yanyong and Gao Cunfu, no matter how harsh his conditions are, Jin Guo will probably agree. However, this kind of thing is really too difficult. Moreover, Neither Wanyanyong nor Gao Cunfu are fools, so it is almost impossible to achieve it.
"There is one more thing, but it's my fault that I forgot to tell Mr. Shen in advance. His Majesty has decreed that in order for our peace talks not to be influenced by others, and also to keep them secret, after the peace talks officially begin, both of us will temporarily stay in Xishanyuan. During this period, Your Majesty will personally send palace guards to guard you. You will not be able to leave Xishan Garden until the peace talks are completed. I hope Lord Shen can understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts."
Shen Tang sneered in his heart, what did he forget? Pusanzhuo dared to forget such an important thing? It’s just that he deliberately did not inform Shen Tang and others in advance, leaving them unprepared. In this way, even if Shen Tang and others There was a plan, but because Shen Tang entered Xishan Garden and could not be contacted, the plan immediately failed. However, both Pu Sanzhuo and Wan Yanyong underestimated Shen Tang.
Although he did not expect this, he also knew that the sight of the Jin Kingdom would target him. Therefore, whether it was other subsequent plans or some contacts with Gao Cunfu, Shen Tang had already asked Wang Meng to wait. The man went to tell Mingyang. Although Mingyang was young, with the layout of Shen Tang, as long as he followed the steps, there would be no problems. Therefore, the plan of Pu Sanzhuo and others was completely meaningless.
"Your Majesty, the peace talks between us are confidential, as it should be. Anyway, we people don't have anything necessary to bring, so as long as the adults in Xishanyuan arrange the food and clothing, no matter how long we stay, We all want it. After all, as your Excellency said, most people want to enter here, but there is no chance." Shen Tang said with a smile.
"Hahaha..." Pusanzhuo laughed, "Don't worry, His Majesty has already ordered that all our food and clothing expenses will be provided by the palace, which will definitely satisfy you. In addition, if you If you have any special needs, please tell me. Although I can't go out, the palace guards can come in and out freely. Your Majesty has already said that all your requests will be granted."
Having said this, he showed a lewd smile to Shen Tang, "Even if Mr. Shen wants the oiran from Zhongdu City to sleep with him, it will definitely not be difficult. Mr. Shen, this opportunity is rare. If you don't give it a try, don't do it. I will regret it..."
"Hahaha..." His words immediately caused a roar of laughter. Women are always one of the topics that men are most interested in, even if these people are high officials in the court.
And as Pu Sanzhuo opened his mouth, everyone chatted with each other and gradually became familiar with each other.
Shen Tang and his party couldn't get in or out after entering Xishan Garden. Others naturally didn't care, but some people felt unhappy.
The spring moon is in the middle. In the attic where Wanyan Yue lives, Wanyan Yue is sitting in front of the desk. In front of her, there are poems and pairs written by Shen Tang during the poetry meeting two days ago, including Later, Wanyan Yue also copied several of Shen Tang's couplets.
"Miss, you've copied it dozens of times. Isn't it boring?" Cui'er said helplessly while typing Haqie.
Wanyan Yue rolled her eyes at Cui'er, but ignored her and continued to copy the poems in front of her. Especially that poem, she didn't know how many times she had copied it, but every time she copied it, she would remember it in her heart. There was a bit of throbbing.
"Miss, don't regret ignoring me! I have news about Mr. Shen." Cui'er said, rolling her eyes.
As expected, Wanyan Yue paused and looked towards Cui'er.
"Speak quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless, Miss!" Wanyan Yue showed a fierce look.
Cui'er smiled, and then said to Wanyan Yue, "Miss, there was news just now that the peace talks have begun. Mr. Shen and his party have gone to Xishan Garden. Originally, I wanted to sneak into Xishan Garden to take a look. .However, the palace guards are stationed there now, saying that they can only enter with His Majesty's order, and Mr. Shen and others cannot leave until the peace talks are completed."
