Chapter 539: Yelubi
Zhou Yubai came back early today, and when he saw Fu Nianjun training a servant rarely, he was curious:
"What is this? It's the first time I've seen Fangzhu kneeling here. ”
Fangzhu didn't dare to disagree, she also knew that Fu Nianjun was much better to herself than the master next to her, and today was all her own trouble.
Fu Nianjun waved her back after saying a few words, and then talked to Zhou Yubai about today's events.
Zhou Yubai frowned and said: "You bring a few more guards to the street in the back, and if one He Dan is not enough, bring Guo Xun with you, so as not to encounter such a thing again." ”
Fu Nianjun said: "I saw that it was a Khitan, and I didn't want to entangle with them more, but fortunately, there was a person named Liu Cunxian, who was quite decent, and he didn't want to make a big deal out of it." ”
Zhou Yubai knew this person and talked about his origin.
"Their ancestors are the former ministers of the former Tang Dynasty, after the chaos in the Central Plains at the end of the Tang Dynasty, they returned to the Liao State, and they have been in Liao for generations, he is the unfavored side branch of the Liu family, and he has been with Yelubi for many years, but he has not made any achievements, last time I saw him in the palace in a hurry, but I saw that he was a family scholar, honest and polite, proficient in Confucianism, and was a talented, but Yelubi did not know people well. ”
There is still a difference between the Han and the Khitan people in Liao, even so, the Han family of Liao, in the eyes of the Khitan nobles, is just their domestic slaves.
That Yelubi that Liu Cunxian is following now is a relatively old-fashioned person, and he was able to envoy to the Great Song Dynasty not because he knew the Great Song Dynasty very well, or because he particularly admired the Han culture, but because he was the henchman and brother-in-law of the emperor's uncle Ye Luyuan, who was now in power.
On this trip to the Song Dynasty, not to mention the side, this money and women, Yelubi will inevitably return with a full load.
It is said that this Yelu Bi is not from the royal family, but this Liao country imitates the Han Dynasty, the royal family changed the surname to Yelu and Liu, and the descendants changed their surnames to Xiao, intermarrying from generation to generation, all because of the Liao Taizu Mu Han family, respecting Liu Bang and Xiao He, and the rest of the Khitan people who were not high in background but had meritorious deeds and skills, and later were also given surnames, so the famous Liao people that the Song people could hear about were either surnamed Yelu or surnamed Xiao.
Fu Nianjun asked: "I heard that Yelubi is quite stubborn and self-serving, is there anything disrespectful about this visit to the Song Dynasty?"
Zhou Yubai said: "He doesn't dare to be disrespectful, but I see that he is a drill camp, if I guess correctly, he may be ready to follow the path of Concubine Zhang Shu......"
Fu Nianjun was surprised: "Concubine Zhang Shu, what does he want to do?"
Zhou Yubai took a sip of tea and looked calm, "We just said it yesterday, what can it be, it's just for money." ”
Seeing that the Song dynasty was so prosperous and wealthy, Yelubi had no reason not to be moved? It's just that he is fishing for oil and water here, and he can't make a huge profit from the border trade between Liao and Song.
Fu Nianjun felt that Concubine Zhang Shufei was crazy, "How dare Concubine Zhang Shufei touch her hands in such a thing? Although it is peaceful now, once something happens, her handle is enough for the official family to dislike her." ”
Zhou Yubai smiled, "She doesn't have the courage, so I have to help her strengthen her courage." ”
Fu Nianjun thought about it carefully and figured it out.
Zhang Shufei, her favorite thing in her life is to fight with and compare with others.
Compared with Queen Shu as a "wife", gritted her teeth and promoted the relatives in the family who could not be on the stage, just to compare the glory of her mother's family with Concubine Xu De, after having Zhou Yuchen, it is even more than the background of her daughter-in-law and the degree of favor of her son.
The best way to force her to take the initiative to do something is for her to discover that others are trying to do it.
"Did Qilang secretly let her know about the last time he went out of the city? Mislead her into thinking that you are short of money and want to do business with the Liao people, so that she will definitely do everything possible to rob you of your wealth, and Yelubi will not hesitate to bite into it if she hands you an olive branch. ”
Zhou Yubai just looked at her and smiled.
No wonder he has been so busy for a while, Fu Nianjun wondered, even if he received foreign envoys, he didn't need to go out early and return late like this.
It turned out that he had already set up a game and was ready to lure Concubine Zhang into the trap.
During this time, he must have deliberately approached Yelubi and expressed his willingness to cooperate, so that Concubine Zhang Shufei was ready to cut off the beard.
No wonder he still had an impression of Liu Cunxian just now.
Fu Nianjun still felt strange, Liu Cunxian was such a little person around Yelubi, how could he remember?
Because he had been in contact with Jeremiah several times in private!
Fu Nianjun raised his eyebrows and continued: "Qilang is a ring by ring, it has been arranged a long time ago, as long as Zhang Shufei catches up with Yelubi and does the Song-Liao border trade, she can't help but withdraw, and the opening of the Qi Palace, at that time, the money from the King of Qi will not be able to keep up, Zhang Shufei will inevitably have to count on Yelubi, she will be completely drilled into this set because of a money word, and she will not be able to get out of this set at all. ”
Zhou Yubai saw that she seemed to be a little angry, took her hand and said:
"What's angry, you see, I can't hide anything from you. ”
Fu Nianjun snorted lightly, "I see that Qilang is deliberately looking at my jokes, and I must still be betting in my heart that I will be able to guess what you are going to do according to the clues you gave." ”
Zhou Yubai smiled and said: "You have wronged me too much, what is the point of me teasing you? I know that you are smart, if I say it or not, you will know sooner or later." ”
Fu Nianjun reluctantly agreed with his remarks, and said in his heart, Zhou Yubai probably thought about it for a long time before he figured out this method to weaken Zhang Shufei's power.
As she said, to defeat Zhou Yuchen and calculate that he lost the position of prince, there are only two serious crimes, treason and treason.
Zhou Yubai is not such a person, framing his brother for power, fratricidal and fratricidal, between him and Zhou Yuchen, there is more of a brotherhood of sympathy, so he will never make such a bad trick.
If Zhou Yuchen is not moved, then she can only start from Zhang Shufei, it is not easy to destroy the forces behind her in one fell swoop, and she can only let herself destroy the Great Wall.
If she cooperates with Yelubi, it is not as serious as collaborating with the enemy, but she also played a sideline ball in front of the emperor, and the concubine dared to intervene in the diplomatic relations between the two countries, even the emperor who loved her was just as unbearable.
When Concubine Zhang Shufei has no money to support, and then the Literature Museum of the Qi Palace's Mansion will definitely face the end of closure, Zhang's wings will be eliminated, and Zhou Yuchen does not have a powerful Yue family, so he is really left alone.
