"How is business in the 'Daughter's Kingdom' these days?"
Yang Hao hesitated for a long time before holding back such a sentence. Miaomiao couldn't help but want to laugh. She pursed her lips and said: "It's very good. Our reputation as 'daughter country' has been opened up. Now people traveling to and from 'daughter country'
, are all rich and powerful families, and although the goods are expensive, the quality is of the best. Although the number of customers is not as crowded as the market, but a casual business can be as good as ten or a hundred ordinary businesses."
"Huh?" Miao Miao raised her eyebrows lightly and cast a questioning look at Yang Hao. She knew from Yang Hao's expression that something must be up, but he was hesitant and looked hard to say. This was something she had never done before.
I have never seen it before, so I can't help but become curious.
"Oh! Do you...have enough money on hand?"
"Uh...does the master still want to withdraw money from it? The remaining balance in hand is only enough for the circulation of goods. If the master is not in a hurry, the slave family can gradually withdraw money from it and settle it every ten days, leaving the goods for circulation.
You need the money, and the rest will be allocated to the master. Otherwise, you may have to buy goods on credit from merchants. Our 'daughter country' has just opened, so if you do this, I'm afraid..."
Yang Hao waved his hand quickly: "No, no, I don't mean to ask you for money or anything anymore. I mean... I mean..., ah! How are you doing recently? I see, it's not as good as when you first returned to Beijing.
He has become thinner and has a fresher look on his face."
Miaomiao touched her cheeks, the blush on her face became more intense, her eyes moved with a bit of humor: "With the master in charge of the capital, the slave family has a backbone, so it's not hard to do things. I also feel...
I seem to have gained some weight..."
She suddenly asked worriedly: "Is the slave too fat now?"
"No, no, it's very good now. I'm fat where I should be fat, and I'm thin where I should be thin. Just right, just right..."
Miaomiao moved uncomfortably and glanced at Yang Hao with interesting eyes. Yang Hao coughed and stopped looking at her. He looked elsewhere with wandering eyes and said, "Oh, by the way, Xiaoyu is
My personal bodyguard, I plan to... transfer him back to me. As for the 'Daughter's Kingdom', I will transfer Zhang Niu'er and Lao Hei to help, as well as Mu Yike. The master has other arrangements, so he has to... ahem...
…”
"Master just needs to inform you about these matters. There is no need to discuss them with Miaomiao." Miaomiao said doubtfully, her eyes flashed slightly, and her expression suddenly changed: "Master... but I need to change someone to take care of it."
Daughter's Kingdom?" She lowered her head and said quietly: "I don't need to discuss this matter with Miaomiao, let alone... find it difficult to talk about it, as long as I give the order..."
Saying this, she still felt sad in her heart. To her, there was no difference between being a maid next to Yang Hao or being the leader of this 'daughter kingdom'. However, she thought that maybe she didn't do a good enough job, Master.
She felt disgusted with her, and Miao Miao still felt sad.
"Miaomiao, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant..."
Yang Hao is almost sweating. It's just a fake marriage. It's not news in modern times. It's for immigration, to allocate housing... It's just that both parties know the truth, and now... who knows the news about his fake death
The less the better, it is better not to be a big talker. If you catch someone and tell it to someone, how can you tell the truth, especially to someone you will never have any contact with again? This way, it was really hard for him to talk about it.
Suddenly there was a slight cough from behind the screen, and the doll walked out: "Official, my sister has something to discuss with you, here... I'll leave it to the slave family."
"Oh..., okay, okay, that's it, that's it." Yang Hao seemed to be pardoned and hurriedly got up, smiled awkwardly at Miaomiao, and ran away. Miaomiao looked at Yang Hao's disappearing back in surprise, and then looked at Wu
Wa'er, he saw that she had sat down in front of him, with a half-smiling look on her face, and she immediately became alert...
After the sedan chair returned to the 'daughter country', a steward came up to him and said, "Miss Liu, I have something to report to you..."
"You go about your business first. It's already late today. We'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
"Uh...yes..." The steward gave Miaomiao a strange look. This chief steward usually ordered that all major and minor matters in the business must be reported to her in a timely manner no matter when and where. What happened today...
...Her eyes and ears were hot, as if she was drunk, but she didn't smell the alcohol.
The steward watched in surprise as Miaomiao disappeared from the end of the hall while taking a moonwalk. The door closed with a bang. Miaomiao leaned on the door, put her hand on her chest, and heard a heart "pong-pong-pong-pong."
It hit her hard like a trapped deer, causing her chest to swell.
She took a few deep breaths, rushed to the desk and drank two cups of cold tea. The feeling of being in the clouds still didn't disappear. Miaomiao pinched her thigh hard, and a burst of pain came. Miaomiao was stunned.
Dumbfounded, the corners of his mouth slowly rose up, and he murmured to himself: "I'm not dreaming, I'm not dreaming, Master... Master really wants to take me as my concubine..."
Thinking of this, Miaomiao's tears suddenly fell down, and the unspeakable joy in her chest made her almost jump up and shout with joy. Although she was cared for by Yang Hao in every possible way, she became this daughter again.
Lord of the country, but she has always felt confused and hesitant about her future. Although she is still young, with her identity and experience, her psychology has matured. She does not know where her destination is. This kind of uncertainty
The feeling of solidity always exists in her heart.
Now that the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is shining brightly, she has someone to rely on for the rest of her life, and the man she will rely on and serve for the rest of her life is Yang Hao, whom she admires and loves in her heart. What else is she dissatisfied with?
Miaomiao returned to her bedroom, closed the door tightly, suddenly cheered, jumped onto the bed, hugged the pillow, put her hot cheek against it, rubbed it vigorously, with a sweet and happy smile on her lips...
The master is going on a mission to the Tang Dynasty. The concubine marriage contract will be signed by Fang Zheng tomorrow. Only when the master comes back can the marriage be officially consummated with her. It doesn't matter, as long as this relationship is established, she can wait no matter how long it takes.
She didn't want to think about how much she was a concubine because she liked her, or because she didn't want to leave the 'daughter kingdom' to outsiders. There was no more suitable candidate besides her, so she wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
The important thing is that she will be his woman; he will be the man she loves; this place will be her forever home. For a little girl like her, this destination is already heaven, and she is satisfied...
Miaomiao hugged the pillow tightly, rolled around on the couch, and called softly: "Master..."
In a daze, she seemed to feel that Yang Hao was lying next to her, holding her slender waist, and his burning eyes were staring at her, leaving her so embarrassed that she had nowhere to hide...
"Crack!" The door opened, and Mu Yike appeared at the door holding a lamp. He raised the lamp and looked at her: "Sister Miaomiao, you are back, eh? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
On the couch, Miaomiao sat up, her hairpins on her temples were messy, her starry eyes were as silk, she swept her hair embarrassingly, and replied: "It's Yue'er, she's still... not asleep yet? I'm fine."
, Uh... I'm a little tired. I want to rest early today, so you can put down the lamp and go to rest early."
"Oh..." Mu Yike put the lamp on the table, turned around and looked at her strangely, and then walked out with an incomprehensible expression.
Miaomiao stayed by the couch. When the door was closed, she quickly rushed to the table. She picked up the mirror and looked at it. Under the lamp, her face was blooming like a begonia. Miaomiao was embarrassed and ashamed when she saw it.
I'm still young, so I won't be able to see anything, I won't be able to tell..."
She comforted herself, looking in the mirror that her eyebrows were also smiling, her eyes were also smiling, and there were two big red pomegranate flowers on her pink face. She couldn't help but scratch her face with her fingers: "Shy, shy, shy,
Shameless little girl..."
While she was ashamed of herself, the corners of her mouth and eyes were curved like crescent moons. Her little mouth in the mirror was red and tender, pink and waxy, and her lips were as cute as water chestnuts. Would the official like it? If he kissed her
My little mouth...
Miaomiao's mind was in a state of excitement. At this moment, there was a "click" and the door opened again. Miaomiao poked her head in and saw Miaomiao in front of the dressing mirror. Only half of her buttocks were leaning on the brocade pier, as if she were sitting on the bed.
He was so hasty that he smeared his face with his fingers, as if he was applying rouge.
"Is there anything else?" Miaomiao turned her head and asked, then turned her head hastily.
"Oh, it's okay, Sister Miaomiao, you...are really not feeling uncomfortable, are you?"
"No, no, just go to sleep."
"Oh..., okay." Mu Yike closed the door and scratched his head inexplicably: "Why are you applying makeup when you are already asleep? Sister Miaomiao is so weird today..."
After Zhao Pu left Beijing, two major events occurred in the court. One was that Ding Lian, the governor of Jiaozhou, sent envoys to Beijing to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty. Jiaozhou was far away in the south of the world, which was later known as Vietnam. At the beginning, Ding Lian, who proclaimed himself king
The subordinate proclaimed himself King Wansheng, who was a vassal of the Han State at that time. He applied for a title from the Han State in the name of his son Ding Lian, and the Emperor of the Han State made his son the envoy of Jinghai Festival.
In recent years, the power of the Song Dynasty has become more and more powerful. The leader of the Ding tribe crossed the Han Dynasty and professed vassalage to the Song Dynasty. They imitated the architectural style of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in China, built palaces, made court rituals, installed hundreds of officials, established a state, and set up six armies.
He built a new capital, built a city and dug a pond, moved the capital to Hualu Cave, and established five queens. It turned a separatist power into a real kingdom, but it still had a secret relationship with the Han Dynasty at that time.
Now that the Song Dynasty had destroyed the Han Dynasty, the leader of the Ding tribe immediately sent his son to the capital to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty and become a minister, and begged for canonization and was willing to be a vassal of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed and made the leader of the Ding tribe the chief inspector of the school and the prince of Jiaozhi.
Ding Lian was the governor of Jinghai and the protector of Annan. Both parties exchanged letters of credence. From then on, no matter how frequently the Jiaozhi dynasty changed, no matter who became the king, he had to first come to see the Chinese emperor and request to be canonized as king in order to obtain
China’s recognition is a top state matter that must be fulfilled without exception.
When Jiaozhi came to court, it was a matter of great national prestige. Zhao Kuangyin was naturally very happy. Just after the grand reception ceremony was completed, news came from Shu. Li Xian, the leader of the Quzhou cult, gathered more than ten thousand people to plunder and wave flags everywhere.
Rebellion. The Shu State was the first country to be eliminated by the Song State after Jinghu. It has been under the rule of the Song State for seven or eight years. However, the current situation is turbulent, and there are still rebellions from time to time. Zhao Kuangyin knows that it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to dominate the world.
We did not dare to be careless about this resistance force, which was not yet strong at the moment. We immediately ordered Quan Zhi Pengzhou Zhu Ang and Quan Zhi Guang'an Army to take charge of exterminating the bandits.
At the same time, Xue Juzheng, Lu Yuqing, Lu Duoxun and others were ordered to formulate policies to appease the people to prevent the Shu people from attaching themselves to the rebel bandits. These prime ministers had just gained power and spared no effort in doing things. They soon came up with their own policies. Zhao Kuangyin
An edict was immediately issued to cancel the marriage tax in Shu. This was a tax established since the Shu period. Even marriages were taxed. It is no wonder that the king of Shu was able to collect so many people's wealth and anointing. After the Song Dynasty acquired Shu, many systems
The old system has been followed and has not been changed until now.
The people of Shu often use silk fabrics as taxes when paying taxes in summer and autumn. However, now that the country is prosperous, the demand for various high-end fabrics has soared, and the price of silk has risen again and again. However, the officials of Shu still follow the regulations established many years ago.
The tax on the price of silk fabrics was also revised at this time, stipulating that in the future, all prefectures in Xichuan will collect taxes and silk fabrics will be valued at market prices.
In all these cases, on the one hand, he spared no effort to crack down on Li Xian's rebellious party, and on the other hand, he used various benevolent means to appease the people, using both soft and hard tactics to quell the disaster.
At this time, the Khitan in the north was also in turmoil. The tribes within the Khitan did not express any resistance to the imperial court. The imperial court could not use force to suppress it. It could only divide, win over, and favor. Emperor Yelvxian was physically weak and had no energy to manage.
For these matters, Empress Xiao Chuo had no choice but to preside over the affairs of the court. In order to manipulate these princes and ministers, she really racked her brains.
Before the internal affairs were settled, the Jurchen tribe came to invade the country's borders again, killing the governor Dalidi and others, plundering a large number of people and livestock and leaving. The little Jurchens also dared to invade the Khitan. Xiao Chuo immediately ordered Yelu Xiu after hearing the news.
Brother Ge led an army to attack, but before the army had just been assembled here, the Jurchen tribe came to send envoys to pay tribute, and got a few heads. They said they had offended the Khitan border and killed several of the Khitan border generals.
At that time, the Jurchens had no fixed place to live, and it was very difficult to find them to fight. In addition, there was internal instability, and the Jurchens took the initiative to surrender. At this time, Yelvxian's birthday was approaching, and it was not appropriate to use weapons, so Xiao Chuo had no choice but to give up. Emperor Khitan
On the occasion of his birthday, the chiefs of all the tribes came to congratulate him. The Jurchens came as envoys to serve as congratulatory envoys after pleading guilty. The Northern Han Dynasty also sent envoys to collect some property and pay tribute to their patrons.
On the day of Yelvxian's birthday, the whole city congratulated him, and during the day he received the envoys and tribal leaders. At night, he and the queen went to the Five Phoenix Tower to enjoy the lantern show. At this time, Oba Duo arrived and had just rushed back to Beijing.
Yelvxian was in poor health and had just had a chill, so he wore a fur coat and stood on the tower to receive congratulations from his courtiers and watch the lantern scene. At this time, a guard came in a hurry and whispered something to a palace official.
The palace attendant immediately rushed to Empress Xiao and reported in a low voice. Empress Xiao was standing on the tower with the emperor. She turned to look at Yelvxian's pale face. I was afraid that he would not be able to stand for long before he had to go down to rest. Now the envoy Neijiu,
The chiefs of all the tribes were there, so he had no choice but to respond to the hospitality himself, so he sighed and waved to Luo Dong'er, asking her to handle the matter.
Luo Dong'er went downstairs and met the envoy Obado in a side hall. Obado saw that there was no one around except for two maids standing at the door. He hurriedly took out a small cloth bag from his arms and offered it as a treasure.
He presented it and said with a flattering smile: "Luo Shangguan, this is the crested silver hairpin you asked me to buy from the Song Dynasty. Do you like it?"
Luo Dong'er opened it and saw that it was 90% similar to the one Yang Hao had given her as a gift. She thanked her profusely and held up the lacquered silver wooden hairpin worth only a few cents. Her eyes were full of tears and she almost wanted to
shed tears.
In Obado's arms, there were seventeen or eight hairpins hidden in the left and right sleeves. For fear that this one would not be to Luo Shangguan's liking, he would just take them out one by one and let her choose. When he saw Luo Dong'er's expression, Obado couldn't help but relax.
Take a breath.
Luo Dong'er stared at it for a long time, then she woke up, wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Your Majesty is watching the lanterns upstairs. I want to ask you, how will the people of Song Dynasty respond to this trip to the south?"
Obado has not read the original letter, but he has heard Liu Linxi, a meritorious official from the Honglu Temple of the Great Song Dynasty, roughly said it. He quickly explained what Song Ting meant. Dong'er heard that Song Ting actually imitated the Khitan's arrogant tone and wrote this
I wrote a reply at a time when I was full of melancholy, but I couldn't help but want to laugh.
Although she is a commoner's daughter, her father has a large collection of books. Dong'er is well-read and knows that the officials in the Central Plains have always behaved well. It's not that they can't write such documents, but because of the dull character of those officials, they have always been educated.
She was speaking as if she were a superior. It was difficult to negotiate state affairs with such a rogue-on-rogue method. She said a little funny: "I understand. I will report it to the queen later and tell her her decision before I give a reply."
"Yes, yes, it's getting cold. However, I have to work hard to serve as an envoy to the imperial court. If I still need to send an envoy to the Song Dynasty, I have no shirking duty. I will ask Luo Shangguan to speak kindly to me."
A few words."
As he spoke, Obado respectfully placed a large box and a large package on the table. Seeing that the hairpin Luo Donger asked for was not worth a few cents, he knew that this female official was not good at money and jewelry, so he took great pains to get it from her.
The daughter country purchased some beautiful clothes from the Han people and a set of the highest quality rouge and gouache, expecting that these things would surely impress Luo Shangguan.
Sure enough, when Luo Dong'er saw such a thing, a look of joy appeared on his face. He was about to send him away right away. Now that he had given him a lovely gift, he had better not talk more, so he casually agreed and asked: "
When you are in the Song Dynasty, the officials of the Song Dynasty treat you with courtesy. Which minister from Honglu Temple received you? I heard that Zhang Tailiu, the minister of Honglu Temple in the Song Dynasty, is weak and sick and does not go to the Yamen often. Was this letter of credence drafted by Shaoqing Gao Xiang?
?”
Obado smiled and said: "Luo Shangguan didn't know something. When I went to the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty had just appointed a new young minister of Honglu Temple, named Yang Hao. I heard that he was the envoy of Kaifeng Nanya Huoqing Academy.
This person is ignorant and has a reckless temperament, so he wrote such a rogue national letter to offend our emperor. But it is strange that the Song Emperor actually agreed. Are you really not afraid that the emperor will be angry and send troops to attack the Song Dynasty? Shangguan?
Luo Shangguan? What's wrong with you?"
Luo Dong'er's lips turned white. She composed herself and asked in a trembling voice: "Tell me... what is the name of the new Honglu Shaoqing?"
"My surname is Yang and my name is Hao."
"Fourth brother said that Brother Hao has changed his name to Yang Hao. Could it be...? No, it can't be him. How could he become a high-ranking official like Honglu Shaoqing? Besides, he was born in Kaigui Mansion. Could it be that...
Same name and surname."
Luo Dong'er quickly asked: "How old is this man and where is he from?"
Obado said: "I have never seen him, but I heard from Liu Gongcao of the Song Dynasty that this man has no knowledge, but he got some shitty luck and escaped with 50,000 Han people.
The army led by the Empress herself pursued them, and he was the one who fled to the Song Dynasty. He became the magistrate of Luzhou due to his meritorious service, and was soon transferred to the post of director of Huoqing in Nanya, Kaifeng. As a result, he fell in love with the king of Jin, Zhao Guangyi, and he suddenly became a star.
He has reached the high position of Honglu Shaoqing, but among the people in the Song Dynasty, there is no one else who has been promoted so quickly except him. Huh? Luo Shangguan, you seem to be in poor health?"
"It's okay, I...I'm okay, tell me, what news do you have about him?"
Luo Dong'er was surprised and happy. She never expected to hear the news about Yang Hao here. Although the man she had been dreaming about was still far away, he seemed to be standing in front of her in an instant. Luo Dong'er's cheeks were burning.
, his eyes shined brightly, and he said earnestly.
Obado spread his hands and said: "No, I just listened to Liu Gongcao's words and looked at his disdain. I'm afraid that this Yang Hao has suddenly risen to the top, and there are many jealous officials in the court. This
It's really annoying for people to talk like this. Luo Shangguan should report it to Empress Ming and refute it sternly. Maybe the officials of the Song Dynasty will take the opportunity to criticize him, and this bastard who ignores me, the Lord of the Khitan Kingdom, will have to step down."
Luo Dong'er pursed her lips and said with a straight face: "You are my Khitan envoy. You must not weaken the prestige of the North Kingdom when you talk. You talk so vulgarly and keep saying "you bastard". How can you be my Khitan envoy? If so, I will not
I guarantee you will go south."
As soon as Obado heard that his money was about to be cut off, he quickly smiled and said: "I am not just in front of you, little man..., okay, okay, I must be cautious. Even if I am a queen, I will not be disrespectful to the officials of the Song Dynasty."
That’s it.”
Luo Dong'er said: "That's right. You go down first. I'll tell the empress about this later."
"Yes." Obado didn't know where he offended her, so he quickly agreed and left.
Luo Dong'er sat on the chair, resting his hands on the case and supporting his chin, thinking for a long time. He picked up the hairpin and looked at it again and again, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling. After a long time, he heard the noise upstairs, and then
After waking up with a start, she put the hairpin into her arms, told the maid to put away her Chinese clothes and makeup, and rushed upstairs, walking as briskly as a young and lively little deer.
"Shituli has violated the divine order and shall die according to the law. Your Majesty, let him be executed." Some people upstairs were roaring.
There was a guard kneeling in front of Yelvxian, his face was pale and he was lying on the ground. Luo Donger ran up the stairs with her skirt in hand. Seeing the strange scene, she asked a guard next to her: "You were fine just now, what's going on?"
The guard hurriedly replied: "Shang Guan, Shi Tuli just touched the sacred scroll. The ministers are very angry and ask the emperor to execute him."
Luo Dong'er was secretly surprised when he heard this. This sacred banner is a big flag, standing on the Five Phoenix Tower. There is a white wolf on the banner, which is the totem of the Khitan clan. It is very sacred and ordinary people are not allowed to approach it without permission. If
Anyone who touches the sacred scroll will be punished by death. This real figure is a young and honest guard, how could he make such a big mistake?
The tribal leaders were making a lot of noise, but Yelvxian just put his hands behind his back and remained silent. He was only in his twenties, tall and thin, with pale cheeks. He looked like a weak man from the south, and everyone around him was a tough guy.
Among the bodyguards and tribal leaders, he was like a crane standing among a pack of wolves. Even the soft, thick and warm fur clothes on his body looked empty.
"Shituli, why did you violate the divine order?" Yelvxian suddenly asked slowly and calmly.
"Villain... The villain was standing aside. He was originally watching the lanterns. Because of the crowd, he was bumped into by someone. He stretched out his hand to help him, and then he realized that what was standing next to him was the sacred scroll. The villain knew that he was guilty and deserved death.
To die."
Shituli kowtowed repeatedly, and Yelvxian sighed and said: "So that's the case. Those who don't know are not guilty. Shituli is doing his job well, so he is doing his job well. Well... drag him down and take responsibility for the thirty bosses."
Shituli was stunned and raised his head in disbelief. Luo Donger's eyes flashed and he shouted quickly: "Shituli, why don't you thank me?"
Shi Tuli hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for showing mercy. Thank you, Your Majesty, for showing mercy."
"Wait a minute!" A person walked out slowly from the side and said with a deep smile: "The emperor is kind, but anyone who offends the sacred order must die. This is stipulated by the law. The emperor will let people go with just one word. I'm afraid... it's inappropriate, right?"
Yelvxian glanced at him and said calmly: "Yelüwen, why are you so harsh? It is an unintentional act and cannot be considered an offense against the gods. Therefore, beheading is too cruel."
This nobleman's name is Yelvwen, whose courtesy name is Yanyun. He was a strong competitor of Yelvxian before he succeeded to the throne. Now that Yelvxian has become the emperor, he still often opposes him. When he saw that Yelvxian wanted to let Shitu go,
Dang Ji stepped forward to stop him. After hearing Yelu Xian's reasons, he sneered disdainfully: "Is the emperor too kind? I, the Lord of the Khitan, must have the power of a tiger and a leopard, with clear rewards and punishments, and strict laws. How can I be pregnant with a woman?"
How can you control the Khitan's millions of tigers and wolves if you are so benevolent to a small bodyguard?"
Xiao Chuo smiled coldly and stood next to Yelu Xian. Dong'er quickly walked over. A person behind Yelu Wen was watching the excitement when he was suddenly fascinated by Empress Xiao's beauty. His eyes were fixed for a long time, and then he looked again.
Turning to the side, he couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately retreated into the crowd.
If Dong'er could notice him, he would find that this person is actually Ding Chengye, the second young master of the Ding family. Ding Chengye was hiding in the dark, looking at Luo Dong'er in a daze: "She...is she Luo Dong'er? Although her expression and temperament are somewhat different, her appearance
Exactly the same. If it weren't for her, how could there be anyone so similar in the world? Why is she here? Is she... the emperor's concubine or someone else? "
Ding Chengye was captured by the Khitan border troops that day. After asking around, no one had heard of Lu Yisheng, the general of the South Academy. They only thought that Ding Chengye was lying and deceived others, so he was tortured in every possible way. Ding Chengye could not survive but wanted to die.
No, it was really miserable. At this time, I happened to meet Yelu Wen.
Yelvwen was eight feet tall, with a strong back and a strong waist. He was a famous Khitan warrior and had a long history of friendship with the King of the Southern Academy. He was a good-looking man and was not afraid of men and women. When he saw Ding Chengye, a slave with disheveled hair and unkempt face, he was very handsome and had clear features, he immediately became excited.
Feeling pity for him, he begged him to stay by his side to serve him.
Ding Chengye had no choice but to be shy and become Yelvwen's personal attendant. He became Yelvwen's favorite person and was inseparable. This time to celebrate the emperor's birthday, Yelvwen also brought this beloved person with him to the Five Phoenix Tower.
Now when he saw Luo Dong'er, Ding Chengye thought about his current status. He was ashamed at first, and subconsciously stepped back and carefully looked at Luo Dong'er's appearance. He was actually standing next to the empress, as if he was living in prosperity in the north. He couldn't help but feel
Jealousy and hatred.
Luo Dong'er didn't pay attention to this old friend. She stood beside Empress Xiao and only listened to Yelu Wen's quarrels. Overtly he said that the emperor was kind, but secretly he ridiculed his weakness and encouraged many leaders and nobles who were dissatisfied with the emperor to respond.
Drinking and drinking, Yelvxian's face turned red and white, and he was a little overwhelmed.
Empress Xiao who was standing next to her suddenly sneered and said: "Yelüwen, you keep talking about clear rewards and punishments and strict rules and regulations. The emperor rules the Northern Kingdom and is ordered by heaven. The emperor is kind-hearted and wants to spare Shitu. This is the will. You
As a minister, questioning and provoking for no reason, is this the way to be a minister? Is this a strict rule?"
Ye Luwen looked at Xiao Chuo, the beauty under the lamp, with bright eyes and white teeth, her complexion was like jade, with a hint of ruddy color. There was greed in her eyes, and she said with a salivating smile: "Your Majesty, I am just doing my duty. See
If there is something wrong with the Emperor, it is just a matter of admonition. How dare you provoke the Emperor?"
"In this case, the emperor is gracious and has already made a decree. Brother Yelu, why do you need to say more? The sacred scroll represents the imperial power. The imperial power belongs to the emperor. Whatever the emperor wants to do, the ministers can only obey. This is the rule. You say
Really?"
The speaker stood with his hands on his hands and said solemnly. This man's name is Xiao Tuozhi, but he is from the Xiao family and a general who leads the army. On the other side, Yelu Longyun, who is Han Derang, also said in a deep voice: "
The emperor's words are the imperial edict and represent the will of God. As a minister, whoever dares to disobey is disloyal. Whoever has a disloyal heart should first ask about the sword in my hand before asking the emperor."
When Yeluwen saw that people from Xiao Chuo's group came out to protect him, he weighed it in his mind, snorted coldly, and said no more.
Under the lamp, Xiao Chuo untied his clothes and untied his hair. His majestic and stern look suddenly became a bit charming. She lay on the couch, and Dong'er also sat beside her in small clothes, kneading her gently.
Shaking his shoulders, Xiao Chuo sighed softly and said: "You also saw it today. These people dare to embarrass the emperor in person. How can they have this emperor in their hearts?"
She waved her hand and said, "You are tired today, so go to sleep. There is no need to press the button."
Dong'er followed the instructions and lay aside. The two beauties were like a lotus flower standing side by side. Xiao Chuo smoothed his hair, lay on the pillow, blinked and thought for a long time, and said: "I have to do something to the people who control the army in the imperial city."
After some planning, we must replace all of our people, otherwise we will not be able to sleep well. And you, you must get it as soon as possible. From now on, the palace guards must be handed over to you, which is our most important capital."
Dong'er said softly: "Dong'er must obey the imperial concubine's orders. Song Guo's reply..."
Xiao Chuo said: "I'll think about it tomorrow and think about how to respond. I didn't expect that the people of Song Dynasty would be so tough in replying to the letter. Could it be that they have seen that we have internal and external troubles and cannot send out troops? Well..., the Tang State sent envoys to
I am asking for help. I will send Yelvwen to the Tang Kingdom to show my attitude towards the Northern Kingdom and make the Song court a little afraid. What do you think?"
"Tang State? Why don't you send someone to Song State? If the empress asks me to go on a mission to Song State to see Brother Hao..." Dong'er was thinking wildly, and Xiao Chuo turned his head strangely: "Why don't you answer?"
"Oh..., Madam, Yeluwen has never been very respectful to the emperor, how can you send him as an envoy?"
