Chapter 24 Wine is a short radius song (brother) is an oar
Chapter 24 Wine is a short bow and song (brother) is a paddle
Yang Hao received the invitation and came to Luo Kedi's house full of wonder. Luo Kedi greeted him outside the door. When he saw him, he smiled and bowed and said: "Envoy Yang, I have taken the liberty to invite you today. I am grateful for the honor. Luo is very grateful."
, come on, come on, sir, please come in."
When Yang Hao saw several Khitan slaves with shaved heads and braided hair standing next to him, he could only pretend to be acquainted for the first time and return the greeting with a smile: "General Luo, you are so polite. I wonder why the general invited me today?"
"
Luo Kedi said: "Luo is a native of the Central Plains and has been away from his hometown for a long time. Now Mr. Yang has come from his hometown. Luo misses his old friends in his hometown. He specially prepared wine to have a banquet with you and asked about the scenery of his hometown. He has no other plans. Haha,
Don’t worry, sir.”
The two of them entered the hall and sat down side by side. After sending the slaves out, Yang Hao frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Aren't you and I afraid of provoking criticism when we meet so grandly?"
Luo Kedi glanced at the servant standing at the door and whispered: "We are leaving in the next two days anyway, so why are we afraid of criticism? Besides, I am from the Central Plains. It is reasonable to invite people from my hometown to meet and drink.
My avoidance of suspicion may actually arouse suspicion."
Yang Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You have your own reasons, so why did you come to me?"
Luo Kedi said: "Dong'er sent news from the palace that Empress Xiao will not go to her place tonight."
Yang Hao's face turned red, and he coughed and said, "Just for this matter, why don't you invite me here to talk about it? Besides... this..., in the current situation, it's better to be careful, so as not to let anything slip by accident.
Damn it. We will eventually stay together forever, and it won’t be long before this moment..."
Yang Hao said it so grandly that Luo Kedi rolled his eyes when he heard it: "Yes, yes, don't tell me about the trivial matters between you two. I invited you here, and I really want to ask you for advice on some personal matters..."
As soon as he said this, the steward Nuluca walked in and saluted respectfully: "Sir, the banquet is ready."
Luo Kedi stood up, smiled happily and said: "Master Yang, please..."
At the banquet, Luo Kedi hesitated for a long time, and then said: "This...Brother Yang, you and I are friends of life and death. There is nothing we can't say to each other, so I'll get straight to the point..."
Yang Hao had vaguely guessed something in his mind, but he pretended not to know and smiled: "You have opened this door for a long time, but Shan Ke has not been seen. What is going on?"
Luo Kedi's face was slightly pale, and he said coquettishly: "Brother Yang, to be honest, Luo has never been passionate about a woman in his whole life, but now...now he really likes your sister..."
Yang Hao was silent. Seeing his expression, Luo Kedi hurriedly said: "Luo Mou fell in love with your sister at first sight. Luo has not married yet. Considering his family background and status, he thought that he and your sister are a good match. Originally, I
I want to win my sister's favor, and I also want Brother Yang to propose marriage in person, but strangely enough, my sister was still talking and laughing with me in the past few days, but in the past two days, she has been very worried and has been distant from me. Luo is puzzled.
I know I did something rude and said something inappropriate to offend her. Brother Yang is her brother. I think she might tell you what is on her mind. If Brother Yang knows about it, I hope he will tell you..."
After saying this, Luo Kedi was already blushing and sweating from embarrassment.
Yang Hao smashed the mud seal of the wine jar without comment, poured a bowl of wine for him, and said haha: "A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea. Although I am her brother, I don't necessarily understand her thoughts. Come on, come on."
, let’s drink, let’s drink first…”
Luo Kedi was impatient. He picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. He wiped his mouth and couldn't tell what he was pouring in. He begged: "Brother Yang, Mr. Yang, my brother treats you very well. You can't."
If you don't help your brother at this time, he will be dead. I just wonder why my sister suddenly treats me like a different person. This knot is stuck in my heart, and I can't sleep or eat well.
Na."
Yang Hao also poured a bowl of wine for himself. When he saw the color of the wine in the bowl was like amber, and the aroma was strong, his eyes lit up and he praised: "Ah, wine? I've never drunk it since I got it... Well, I've never drunk it before."
Where’s the wine?”
He picked up the bowl, took a sip, and commented: "It has a fragrant taste and endless aftertaste. It is indeed a good wine. Brother Luo, have you...Brother Luo drank it all?"
Luo Kedi said angrily: "Brother Yang, I'm talking about serious matters."
Yang Hao took another sip of wine and put down the wine bowl with a sad face. If his special status had not caused obstacles to their relationship, his sister, who had a bumpy relationship so far, could have such a good match as Luo Kedi, Yang Hao would
Hao is very happy to see it happen. But it is not possible now. Political marriage is the most sensitive. If they marry, it may not be a good thing, but will lead to tragedy.
Will the Song Dynasty court sit back and watch a high-ranking official get married to a northwest vassal? Will Luo Gongming ruin the future of his Luo family because of a daughter-in-law? As the saying goes, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. In this case, it is better to end it early. But there is something wrong with it.
However, he could not speak frankly to Luo Kedi about his difficulties. He was also uncertain. Even if Luo Kedi regarded him as a life-and-death friend, if he learned the truth and knew that he wanted to stand on his own in the northwest, would he kill his relatives out of justice and kill him as soon as he arrived in the Song Dynasty?
Did he kill him on a horse?
Seeing his hesitation, Luo Kedi knew there must be a reason. He was so anxious that his mouth was dry and he didn't need Yang Hao to persuade him. He picked up the wine jar and poured himself a bowl, then drank it all in one gulp, using it as cold water to soothe his throat.
, eagerly waiting for Yang Hao to explain.
Yang Hao hesitated again and again, then Fang Chenyin said: "This...there is indeed a reason..."
Luo Kedi asked anxiously: "What's the reason?"
Yang Hao smiled bitterly and said: "The problem is...it can't be said..."
Luo Kedi's eyes widened, and Yang Hao said sincerely: "Brother Luo, for such a heroic figure to be able to favor his sister-in-law, Yang is very happy. In Yang's opinion, if you can get married, it would be great
The blessing of my roommate. As for my roommate, she has always been aloof. There are only a handful of men who can impress her, and Brother Luo is one of them. If you get along well, I think my roommate will also really like her.
you."
Luo Kedi was anxious and scratched his head: "Brother Yang, why..."
"I've said it before, don't say it. Just because Brother Luo and I are life-and-death friends, I can't bear to hide it from you, so I tell you not to say it. Otherwise, I can't find any excuse to excuse you."
Yang Hao took a sip of wine and said: "However, I won't hide it from you for too long. When we return to the Central Plains safely, I will tell you the truth. It will not exceed three months at most, okay? Within three months.
, I will definitely tell you the reason. If you have a way to solve this problem, have the courage to face this problem, and are still willing to pursue my sister, I, as a brother, will never stop you..."
His last sentence had revealed the secret and revealed that he was the culprit that caused Ding Yuluo's sudden indifference towards Luo Kedi. However, Luo Kedi, who was upset, could not taste it. He thought to himself: "Three
Months? Counting on the fingers, three months is nothing more than the time when Shifu had just had some leisure time after escaping all the way back to the Central Plains, returning to Bianjing, and dealing with the court and the family. I told her that the world has changed forever, and that I
You can wait, but you can’t wait more than three months?”
So, he nodded heavily, held the bowl with a smile and said, "So, Brother Luo, can you put your worries aside now and drink to your heart's content?"
Luo Kedi glared at him angrily, lifted the wine jar, put it down again, and complained: "This wine is sweet and soft, how can it have any taste? Nyuluge, bring me a jar of strong wine."
Niulucue stood outside the threshold and saw the two drinking heavily at the table. In a moment, two large bowls of wine had entered General Luo's mouth. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He hurriedly called a close servant and whispered a few words to him,
The man obeyed the order and went.
Niulu Ge looked at the man's back and smiled happily: "Now Her Royal Highness the Princess will get the reward."
Suddenly, he heard Luo Kedi's order coming from the room. He quickly agreed and then rushed to the wine cellar.
The felt tent was spacious and bright, with huge red candles as thick as arms burning at the four corners. Empress Xiao sat in the middle, at the end of the room, and Guo Xi sat on the left and right. Two teams of court dancers were dancing among them. The Khitan court dances were not as popular as the Central Plains dances.
It is beautiful, but full of prairie style. The two teams of girls sang and danced, their movements were uniform, and they danced happily to the rhythm of Jie drum.
Shi Fang and Guo Xi raised their glasses with smiles on their faces, and said to Xiao Chuo: "Your Majesty treats me with generosity and appreciation, and I appreciate it deeply. I would like to borrow your wine to pay tribute to your Majesty, and wish my emperor a speedy recovery and your eternal youth."
"
Xiao Chuo raised his glass and said loudly: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, due to his weak health, all state affairs have been entrusted to me. I am a weak woman. Since I served the country, I have relied on two adults to help me get married. Guo Fang
"Thanks to the great help of these two gentlemen, we have been able to ensure that our Khitan kingdom is stable and all our tribes are respectful and docile. This glass of wine should be given to you two gentlemen. Sirs, please."
After Xiao Chuo finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. Dong'er, who was standing by, hurriedly filled up another glass for her.
Xiao Chuo was not a big drinker and usually did not touch his lips with wine, but for some unknown reason tonight, he was in high spirits. He drank the wine and drank it while chatting and laughing. Seeing that the empress drank the wine from the glass, the two veterans naturally did not dare to neglect, so they drank it up in one gulp.
Medium wine.
Xiao Chuo lowered his body and exchanged cups with the two veterans. He recounted their life achievements without any mistakes or omissions. The two veterans did not expect that this young queen knew all about the many achievements that she was proud of throughout her life, and they couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude.
A feeling of confidant suddenly arises.
While the guests and hosts were chatting happily, a female official quietly walked into the big tent. This female official's name was Ta Buyan. She was Xiao Chuo's personal maid who had served Xiao Chuo in the Xiao family when she was not married. Like Dong'er, she was the most popular before her eyes.
The favored female officer is just a smoker and illiterate, so she has never been able to hold any important positions.
Ta Buyan whispered a few words to Xiao Chuo, and Xiao Chuo put down his wine glass, waved to Dong'er, called her in front of him, and whispered: "They have arrived, where are the things I asked you to prepare?"
Dong'er touched her waist and replied: "Mother, Dong'er has always carried the things with her."
Xiao Chuo nodded and said, "Very good. You and Ta Buyan will take people out of the city immediately and ambush them on the road. Remember not to leave a single person alive."
Dong'er was stunned and lost her voice: "Now?"
Xiao Chuo said: "Yes, they came all night, and they will arrive in Shangjing in two hours. They will start the operation at night. If there is any oversight, it will not be easy for them to find out your identity."
Dong'er thought to herself: "Oh no, I made an appointment with Brother Hao to come see me, but tonight I'm afraid I have to force Brother Hao to stay in an empty bed alone."
Seeing her expression, Xiao Chuo thought she was a little nervous, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, just follow the hunting method I taught you and treat them as flying foxes and hares. They have come from afar and are already tired.
When we go to Beijing, our guard is at its lowest, so we can definitely annihilate them all by surprise."
She pondered for a while and then said: "This matter is a secret, and I don't want too many people in the royal family to know about it. Let's ask your cousin to bring a few confidants with him. With his martial arts and battle experience, he can be guaranteed
You are infallible.”
She turned around and said to the female officer: "The tower is not smoke-free. You choose some loyal and reliable female guards, and then call General Luo up. No one else should be disturbed."
Letting his confidants participate in secrets is a better way to make him loyal than rewards, and Xiao Chuo naturally understands the truth.
After Ta Buyan agreed, he pulled Luo Dong'er and pulled her out.
They came here to ambush the Nianbage envoy.
Nianbage was a tribal alliance government in the western border of Khitan. During the Han Dynasty, this generation was the nomadic land of the Tiele people. During the Sui Dynasty, it belonged to the Western Turks. During the Tang Dynasty, it belonged to the Beiting Protectorate.
When Jiedu was unable to control it, the place became independent again. When the Khitan was established and became more and more powerful, they surrendered to the Khitan.
Because the Northern Han Dynasty relied on the Khitan the most, the Han Dynasty envoys were always stationed in Shangjing. When the Nianbage envoy came to Shangjing last year, he had a dispute with the Northern Han Dynasty envoy. The Nianbage man, who had a rough temperament and was drunk and reckless,
He drew his sword and beheaded the Han deputy envoy on the spot. The Northern Han Dynasty was now weak in national power and could not afford to offend anyone. Under the Khitan and Xini, they had no choice but to swallow their anger, but this could be regarded as a rift between the two sides.
Forced by the situation, Xiao Chuo had no choice but to temporarily surrender to the Song Dynasty. However, she was afraid that this matter would damage the prestige of the Khitan nation and would become a reason for the Khitan royal family to criticize her, so she wanted to find a way to refuse aid to the Northern Song Dynasty.
The grand reason of the Han Dynasty. This reason is to use the old grudge between the Northern Han Dynasty and the Nianbage tribe to create an attack and murder accident, thereby finding a reason for the Khitan to abandon the Northern Han Dynasty.
To this end, she had ordered Dong'er to obtain a tainted identity token from the Northern Han Dynasty Embassy stationed in Shangjing. As soon as the envoy Nian Bage came to Beijing, she ambushed him on the road as a Northern Han Dynasty.
This was blamed on the Northern Han Dynasty. At that time, the Khitan could use this as a reason to expel the Han envoys and declare the severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Such severe sanctions can clear the relationship between the Khitans and the Han, provide them with a high-sounding reason for refusing to aid the Han, and can also use this to close the relationship with the Nianba Ge tribe. King Qing is now on the run.
Arriving in Yinzhou, establishing a closer relationship with the Nianbage tribe in the northwest would help isolate King Qing. This plan could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Ta BuYan was loyal to Xiao Chuo and followed her orders unswervingly. He immediately took Dong'er and left. Dong'er complained secretly, but had no choice but to find a chance to tell his officials. At that moment, he had no choice but to follow Ta BuYan.
He went to change his clothes, put on soft armor on the inside, strong clothes on the outside, wrapped himself in a cloak, then secretly summoned some confidant female guards, and then quietly sneaked out of the palace.
Luo Kedi had just sent Yang Hao off and returned to the mansion, and had only drank two cups of a pot of hot tea when Ta Buyan and Dong'er arrived. Luo Kedi welcomed him out of the mansion inexplicably, and Ta Buyan retreated to the left and right, announcing a secret edict.
, Luo Kedi had no way to refuse, so he had to dress up neatly, take a few close guards with him, and follow them on their horses to gallop out of the city, meet up with the murderous female guards at the city gate, and go west.
As soon as Luo Kedi left, Princess Ya arrived. She heard that Luo Kedi had left the tower and Luo Dong'er left. Princess Ya couldn't help but stare blankly. She wanted to ask more questions, but Niulu Ge couldn't answer any of the questions.
Princess Ya is in a panic. Once Luo Kedi drinks the medicinal wine and the effects of the medicine take effect... it's okay if Ta Buyan collapses. Luo Dong'er is his cousin. If they do something against moral standards, he will do this evil thing himself...
The more Princess Ya thought about it, the more panicked she became. She was determined to find Luo Kedi to stop the tragedy, but what Luo Kedi did tonight was too secret. Nuluke only saw him riding towards the West City, but she didn't know his exact whereabouts.
.Princess Ya wanted to ask the Queen, but she inquired about their whereabouts for no reason. If the Queen asked, how would she explain it? If someone knew that her majestic princess had secretly secretly secreted an aphrodisiac for a man, even with the rough and unrestrained style of the Khitan people, she, as a royal
My son, I won’t be able to see anyone anymore.
Princess Ya was frightened and frightened. There was a war between heaven and man in her heart. She wandered outside Luo Kedi's house, not knowing where to go.
Under the orders of Yelu Chukuang, the person who monitored the whereabouts of Princess Ya brought a team of palace guards belonging to Yelu Chukuang and lurked quietly in the dark. He originally wanted to follow Yelu Chukuang's instructions to catch the traitor and the couple.
Please ask the master to come forward to smooth things over and subdue this General Luo. Who would have expected...
He also couldn't figure out what Princess Ya was wandering around under the porch. He was confused and didn't dare to show her whereabouts, so he had to lead his men to crouch patiently in the grass and lurk quietly...
Dong'er has been poor since she was a child and doesn't like to be served. In addition, she has a quiet temperament and often stays and rests in the palace. Therefore, there is no one in the house except a very dull old couple who act as gatekeepers and clean the courtyard.
, clean the room.
Yang Hao came out of Luo Kedi's house and passed Dong'er's residence on the way. When he passed by the backyard, he sneaked into Dong'er's house. It was night at this time, and this was Beicheng and Huangcheng District.
They are all powerful and noble people, and they live in high houses. At night, there are not many people on the street, and no one pays attention to his whereabouts. With his superb skills, he can naturally enter the house with ease.
Yang Hao entered the bedroom. Seeing that Dong'er hadn't come back yet, he didn't dare to light the lamp, so he took off his outer clothes and lay down on her bed with his daughter's body fragrance in the dark with his eyes half closed to recuperate.
This wine really has an aphrodisiac effect. Yang Hao felt like a fire was gradually burning in his belly, and he couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Originally, wine was a medium for sex, and this red wine had a long lasting power, but... it seemed that the effect was too obvious.
So, is it possible that the purely green wine products of this era are so effective?
Yang Hao suddenly realized that his body's reaction seemed a bit too strong. He thought it was because of his long-lasting body and the practice of dual cultivation techniques for too long. His desire was once ignited by Dong'er, but he could not vent his inner demons as much as he wanted.
Growth, so he had no doubts, he thought, so he sat up cross-legged and used his will to fight against his inner demons.
Ordinary Taoist monks pay attention to purifying worldly thoughts, forgetting emotions and consolidating the Taoist heart. However, there is another group of Taoist monks who take a different approach, using the desires of ordinary people that would otherwise hinder Taoism as a stepping stone to enlightenment, which is the joy of Buddhism.
Zen is a dual cultivation method of Taoism, which is to bring sexual desire into concentration, restrain the inner demons and strengthen the Taoist mind, and finally leave the world of desire and be born in the world of color.
This kind of person who has achieved great success in practice is called a magician in Taoism, and is called a top-level demon king in Buddhism. The reason why they use the word "magic" is because they admit that they have quite advanced skills, but at the same time, they believe that they always have a big flaw.
, can also be said to be a cover. Because although this method is easier to practice, it is also a long-lasting demon. The stronger the concentration, the more intense the lust. Even those who have achieved great success are not immune to vulgarity. Therefore, based on Lu Dongbin’s Taoist practice
, even if you are over a hundred years old, you can’t live without women.
Yang Hao's exercises had such side effects, so he did not raise any doubts. His willpower gradually took effect, and his heavy breathing gradually became longer. Yang Hao was very satisfied with his control.
Press it crosswise on the lower abdomen, breathe in and out slowly, and practice while the energy is still weak.
How did he know that he had mistakenly taken a high-grade aphrodisiac today? With his meditation power and proper venting, he could have suppressed his inner demons, but when he drank wine mixed with aphrodisiac, it was like pouring water on a fire.
The spoonful of oil has not yet taken effect. It is like a fire that has not yet ignited. It has been cut off from the air. If once the will is lost, it will be like a wisp of air suddenly entering a simmering stove. If it takes effect at that time, the consequences can be imagined.
He knew it, but he didn't realize it. He said that his concentration was getting deeper and deeper, and he felt a little complacent in his heart.
At this time, Luo Kedi, who was galloping all the way out of the city and ambushed on the Heller Ridge six miles outside Shangjing City, was lying among a group of palace female guards, but he couldn't restrain himself and became distracted.
There are overgrown weeds on the ridge, and there are some scattered tree stumps. A small stream flows under the ridge, and the water is gurgling. Luo Kedi was lying on the ridge, and gradually felt something strange in his body. The wine he drank was not as much as Yang Haoduo, but his meditation was
He is not as powerful as Yang Haoduo. Although he is a great general, he is decisive in killing and killing, but that is on the battlefield. On the battlefield of lust, he is just a hot-blooded boy. Especially
As he was galloping all the way, all his energy and blood dispersed. As he lay there, he felt strange and unstoppable waves of lust rising in his body, which made him panic.
He was lying prone there, holding a ball of grass tightly with both hands, and his body was stretched like a javelin. The female soldiers who usually would not take a second look seemed to have great attraction to him at the moment. His senses seemed to be stronger than
He was many times more sensitive than usual. Even their shallow breathing, a few low words, and even the curves of their well-dressed bodies that were hard to see clearly under the moonlight were all touching his breath and teasing his ears.
Catching his eyes...
"Something's wrong, something's wrong..." Luo Kedi muttered to himself.
"General, what's wrong?" Tuo'er Guoguo, who was on the side, crawled closer and asked quietly.
Luo Kedi turned his head and looked around, exhaling hot breath, and whispered: "This place... is called Hailer Ridge, right? It was originally covered with locust trees? Legend has it that the locust tree is yin in nature and often gathers the spirit of ghosts. I seem to be trapped.
It’s so evil…”
Tuo'er Guoguo laughed loudly and whispered: "Sir, in our Khitan language, Haile means elm tree, not a locust tree. What kind of ghosts can gather here? The general's murderous intention is so strong. What's the matter?
Even a lonely ghost wants...someone to touch me...ah!"
Tuo'er Guoguo let out a low cry and quickly covered her mouth. She was talking close to Luo Kedi when she suddenly noticed a hand touching her butt. She thought one of the sisters was joking with her, so she just slapped her hand away.
Then he realized that the owner of that big hand was actually Luo Kedi. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and his eyes widened in surprise.
Luo Ke was having a drug-induced attack. His heart was shaking and he couldn't control himself. When she laughed, it sounded like the sound of nature in his ears. A hand unconsciously touched her buttocks.
Touching the soft and elastic plump buttocks, Luo Kedi, who tasted the charm of the opposite sex for the first time, completely lost consciousness, and his hand touched it again.
Tuoer Guoguofang's heart was beating wildly, she was surprised and happy: "General Luo... actually... actually likes me..., but here... the general is a bit too bold..."
Tuo'er Guoguo grabbed the salty hand that was eating tofu on her buttocks, lowered her head shyly and said: "You can't do it here. If the general likes Guoguo, after he goes back..."
As soon as she said this, she suddenly felt a hot breath on her face. She looked up in surprise and saw Luo Kedi's eyes wide open and he jumped on her like a wolf.
Tuo'er Guoguo was stunned for a moment, then he heard a "chi-la" sound, his chest felt cold, and his clothes were torn apart. Tuo'er Guoguo was frightened and cried, crying: "Come quickly, Mr. Luo, he is
...He is possessed!"
The female soldiers around them widened their eyes in surprise...
There was silence in the big tent. Shi Fang and Guo Xi slowly stood up and left their seats.
As soon as they saw Xiao Chuo retreating, they expected that the queen would have confidential matters to discuss, and they couldn't help but stood up uneasily.
Xiao Chuo slowly left his seat, and tears suddenly flowed down his face. Shi Fang and Guo Xi were shocked when they saw it, and Zhang Huang said: "Your Majesty, what... does this mean?"
Xiao Chuo suddenly cried and bowed to the ground, and said in a sob: "Two adults, my father died early, and I have no brothers, and no relatives in the clan to help me. Now the emperor is weak and has difficulty in managing the government. The kings and clans have troops to respect themselves, and they are watching.
"Dan, although Xiao Chuo has the glory he has today, he is still a tree without roots. His clans are strong and powerful, and everyone has different intentions. The border defenses are not stable, and they are coveted from all sides. Xiao Chuo really doesn't know what to do."
As soon as they saw her kneeling down, Shi Fang and Guo Xi were so frightened that they fell to their knees and kowtowed repeatedly. Upon hearing what Xiao Chuo said, the two veterans kowtowed their heads loudly and said excitedly: "As long as I am here,
I swear to protect the Emperor to the death, and my Majesty will never allow traitors to cause trouble. Although I am old, I am willing to serve as the Queen's motivator, but I have orders, and I must obey them. Your Majesty, please get up quickly, and don't kill me."
Xiao Chuo was helped up by them, and said with tears in his eyes: "Two adults, it is true that although Prince Qing has rebelled against him, he has shown his claws and claws. I can take precautions, but in the court... there is another group of people who covet the throne.
, used open and covert means to attack me. When they saw that I valued wise ministers like the two beloved ministers, they said that I had alienated the royal family, favored people with different surnames, attracted the party and the masses, and treated me with both soft and hard tactics. I really couldn't bear it...
Live."
Shi Fang and Guo Xi couldn't help but change their expressions after hearing this. They were not from the royal family. They were able to control the power of the North and South Houses now only because of the Queen's favor. They had known that the royal family would be dissatisfied with them occupying such a high position, but unexpectedly the struggle had already begun.
In such a situation, they have been in power for the past two years and have served the court loyally, and have really offended many illegal dignitaries. If the queen cannot bear to give up on them, their situation will be worse than death.
Xiao Chuo said again: "But I have always known that these two gentlemen are loyal and good, so why are you willing to give up? Now that I intend to eliminate the traitors and traitors in the court, are you two gentlemen willing to advance and retreat together with me?"
After Shi Fang and Guo Xi heard this, they couldn't help but think too much. Under the gaze of Xiao Chuo's tearful eyes, the two veterans couldn't help but feel a youthful pride in their chests. They immediately put their hands on their chests and said in a deep voice: "Old minister, I wish the supreme immortal
God swears, the queen will obey her orders no matter what, and she swears to die for the queen!"
Xiao Chuo wiped his tears and said: "Okay, General Yelv Xiu has always been loyal to me. He will return to Beijing soon. I have the intention to use thunderous means to eliminate the traitors in the court. General Xiu alone may not be able to do what I want.
We need the help of two adults."
When the two of them heard that Da Tiyin, who commanded a hundred thousand palace guards, was also working for the empress, they became more determined and said in a deep voice: "But it depends on the empress' order."
Empress Xiao was overjoyed. She immediately took nine large ocean bowls, filled them with fine wine with her own hands, took out a saber and cut her finger, then dripped blood into the bowl one by one. When Shi Fang and Guo Xi saw it, they knew that the empress wanted to make a blood alliance with them, so they both
He drew his sword, cut his finger, and blood dripped from the bowl in the same manner.
Empress Xiao held up a large bowl and said in a loud voice: "Today I have made a blood alliance with the two adults. From now on, we will live and die together, and share wealth and honor!" After saying this, she picked up the large bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Shi Fang and Guo Xi, two old ministers, also picked up a bowl of wine and drank it down.
After downing a bowl of strong wine, Empress Xiao's cheeks turned red and she felt dizzy. She held another bowl of wine and said: "After the event is completed, I will confer the title of "Greater Yue" on the two adults, and their descendants will enjoy eternal peace.
You."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp. Shi Fang and Guo Xi were overjoyed.
Yu Yue was originally a Khitan official position. In the early days of the founding of the Khitan, official positions were simple. Yu Yue was equivalent to the prime minister, taking over military and political power. Later, after learning from the Central Plains and establishing a detailed official position system, Yu Yue became a title, which was only awarded to the nobles with the greatest merit.
His status is so prominent that he is above all officials and kings. He is equal to the emperor in terms of etiquette. He is also called the "king side by side". What an honor this is.
Shi Fang and Guo Xi were overjoyed, saying that all their wealth and safety depended on Xiao Chuo, so why would they die just for this supreme honor?
Empress Xiao held the third bowl of wine, her delicate body swaying, her cheeks flushed, and she was very drunk, but she said with a heroic spirit: "This third bowl of wine is for me and the two adults to celebrate our success in advance, and to wish us the success of our big plan."
, seek a hundred years of peace for my Khitan!"
"Do it!" The three of them clinked the wine bowls together and drank the full bowl of wine.
He supported himself and sent the two adults off on horseback. Xiao Chuo was looking forward to the big event he wanted to plan. Although he was drunk and couldn't control himself, he was full of joy and wished he could talk to others about his joy. The palace attendants hurried to the side.
He stepped forward to help Xiao Chuo. Xiao Chuo, who was so drunk, completely forgot about the secret mission that he sent Dong'er to do. She leaned on a maid with drunken eyes and vaguely ordered: "Go... to Luo Shang's official residence...
