227 The anger of the little emperor
Han Jiangxue sent someone to report to Empress Dowager Xiao that she had found her long-lost brother, and now she was going to set up a reception banquet for her younger brother. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Originally, it was supposed that Han Jiangxue should have reported to the Empress Dowager Xiao in person, but this time Han Jiangxue deliberately tried to test the Empress Dowager Xiao's reaction. She decided to send her maids to report to Xianglan, the maid of Empress Dowager Xiao's cronies, and Xianglan would report to Empress Dowager Xiao again.
After Empress Dowager Xiao listened to the report, she secretly thought that Han Jiangxue's real brother Yun'er had actually fallen into her hands, so Han Jiangxue's current so-called younger brother was of course fake. However, Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't guess what tricks Han Jiangxue was playing, so she also decided to wait and see.
Although Empress Dowager Xiao knows it, she won't point it out, anyway, Han Jiangxue's real brother has been secretly controlled by herself, and the initiative in this situation should be in her own hands. Now for the reception banquet set up by Han Jiangxue for her younger brother, Empress Dowager Xiao pretended to be happy for Han Jiangxue and sent her cronies Xianglan to congratulate.
As for the little emperor Xiao Xuan, after he sent someone to assassinate Ling Er and failed, he was angry and annoyed, and he was also worried that Han Jiangxue would pursue it? However, seeing that Han Jiangxue suppressed this matter, he did not delve into it. He also felt relieved, but the jealous instinct made him have a deep grudge against Ling Er, and the little emperor thought that he would find a suitable opportunity next time and send someone to kill Ling Er.
Now that Han Jiangxue has found her long-lost brother, although the little emperor is uncomfortable, he still comes to see Ling Er; The little emperor was also curious about what the arrogant Han Jiangxue looked like when he saw a man.
For Ling Er, when he heard that he could see the emperor, he was also curious about what the emperor of Liao looked like? Originally, according to the regulations, Ling Er should kneel and bow when he saw the emperor, but Han Jiangxue deliberately did not explain how to salute. In this way, Ling Er also pretended to be confused and did not bow to the little emperor, but only nodded slightly, even if he saluted.
The little emperor Xiao Xuan saw that this Ling Er was so rude to him, of course he was extremely angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack in front of Han Jiangxue.
Then the little emperor Xiao Sui shirked the busy state affairs and did not participate in the banquet that Han Jiangxue gave her brother to catch the wind, but in order to not know the guilt of Han Jiangxue, the little emperor held back his anger and still sent Empress Lin to participate in the banquet on his behalf to express his congratulations to Han Jiangxue.
Prime Minister Mo Ye and Marshal Lin Jun of the Northern Courtyard also came to congratulate Han Jiangxue in person after receiving Han Jiangxue's invitation. Of course, there were many princes and nobles of the Liao State who came with them, and even many cronies and generals under Han Jiangxue.
There are more than a dozen tables of banquets in Han Jiangxue's palace, this may be the first time that Han Jiangxue has invited the magnates of the Liao State on a large scale in the Liao State, so most of the Liao bigwigs in the Liao capital were invited to attend the banquet.
At the beginning of the banquet, Han Jiangxue stood up first, raised his hand and planted a wine glass to toast to everyone, thanking them for giving him face and coming to his reception. Prime Minister Mo Ye and the others also stood up in the same way, raised the wine glasses they planted, saluted Han Jiangxue in return, and thanked Queen Han for her kind invitation.
After Han Jiangxue toasted, she then introduced Ling Er to everyone, saying that this was her long-lost brother, who had just been found, and hoped that everyone would take care of her in the future, and she was grateful.
Ling Er also stood up and toasted everyone, and Han Jiangxue introduced him to the origin of everyone at the banquet. The banquet is a good place to connect with each other, although some people here are intriguing with Han Jiangxue, but after Han Jiangxue recommended Ling Er to these people, at least these people did not dare to blatantly embarrass Ling Er.
After Han Jiangxue introduced Ling'er, she also introduced Xianglian by the way, and Han Jiangxue introduced to everyone: "Xianglian is her own sister, and she is going to open a medical center in Liaodu in the future, you will also take care of her in the future, and you can also go to her to see a doctor if necessary."
Because for the various factions at the banquet, maybe they have a conflict of interest with Han Jiangxue, but there is no conflict of interest with Xianglian, an ordinary doctor, so for the sake of Han Jiangxue's face, they will not embarrass Xianglian for the time being.
As for those Han Jiangxue's cronies at the banquet, like Mu Rong Yijian, Jin Feng, Fei Yan, and Magpie, these people originally had a very good relationship with Xianglian, but now that Han Jiangxue has introduced them like this, those subordinates who didn't know Xianglian will treat Xianglian politely in the future.
Lin Ruoxi, the granddaughter of Lin Jun, the marshal of the Northern Courtyard, although she is as expensive as Han Jiangxue, she has no status in the banquet, and those powerful people in the Liao State will not care about her at all. As for Han Jiangxue's cronies, the generals were even more disdainful of her, and even some generals deliberately embarrassed her, who made her now also a queen, she could be on an equal footing with their master Han Jiangxue, of course these generals would not give her a good face.
So Lin Ruoxi was very aggrieved when she saw it, she thought that if she left at the banquet and offended Han Jiangxue, she would be ridiculed by others for being narrow-minded and not polite. But in such an embarrassing situation, I should find an excuse to go back early. Then he cried to the little emperor about how Han Jiangxue and her generals looked down on him and bullied him at the banquet.
Lin Ruoxi left the banquet early on the grounds that she was not feeling well. After Lin Ruoxi went back, he cried to the little emperor Xiao Xuan about the grievances he had received at the banquet, and cried: Han Jiangxue's generals look down on themselves, in fact, they look down on the emperor.
For the little emperor Xiao Xuan, he was originally annoyed because Han Jiangxue looked down on him, and now even Han Jiangxue's generals dared to look down on his newly canonized queen. So in Xiao Xuan's heart, the generals under Han Jiangxue no longer took themselves as the emperor in their eyes. This is absolutely unbearable for him.
The little emperor Xiao Sui felt that it was urgent to weaken the power of Han Jiangxue, of course, the little emperor also knew that he was not capable of weakening the power of Han Jiangxue with his own strength. So the little emperor Xiao Sui decided to complain to his mother, the Empress Dowager Xiao.
Xiao Sui hoped that her mother, Empress Dowager Xiao, would come up with a way to deal with Han Jiangxue for herself. In the name of asking his mother Empress Dowager Xiao for peace, Xiao Xuan discussed with her mother Empress Dowager Xiao how to deal with Han Jiangxue?
In fact, for Empress Dowager Xiao, she is facing Han Jiangxue's increasingly expanding power, and she is thinking about how to deal with Han Jiangxue all the time, but now that the situation in Liao has just stabilized, and Han Jiangxue has a very high prestige in the Liao army, she has no suitable reason and is not good at weakening Han Jiangxue's military power, so she also feels a headache.
Empress Dowager Xiao listened to her son Xiao Xuan's story, and while she comforted her son, she was thinking about how to deal with Han Jiangxue quietly. Empress Dowager Xiao knew that Han Jiangxue's wings had long been hardened now, and it was not easy for her to deal with her.
After thinking about it, Empress Dowager Xiao finally came up with a solution, that is, to send Han Jiangxue to lead her Flying Eagle Army to conquer the Western Liang Kingdom.
Empress Dowager Xiao's idea is to kill two birds with one stone, like this: first, this can consume the strength of the Flying Eagle Army under Han Jiangxue; Second, Empress Dowager Xiao believed that with Han Jiangxue's military talent, it was very likely to pacify the Western Liang Kingdom.
If the Western Liang Kingdom is pacified, then it will be much easier to capture the Chu State again. In addition, Empress Dowager Xiao decided to take advantage of Han Jiangxue to lead the army abroad, and she re-cultivated an elite army loyal to her in Liao. At that time, he will be able to firmly control the entire Liao State. (To be continued.) )
