Zhao Budao's sharp gaze turned to Concubine Liu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He froze down, and immediately raised his glass while pointing at the concubines of the Liu family, and said to them, "Hey, what are you doing?" Anything to say? ā
Liu Haoyue looked at the emperor, suddenly trembled, and hurriedly got up, as if she was afraid that the plan would be revealed, shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the leaders have come from afar and respect us very much. So the whole country admires these leaders, and at the same time respects them. The concubine wondered if we would have a ceremony for them after the meal so that they could be happy. ā
Zhao Budao didn't understand her words, waved his big hand, pointed at the people below and said, "Oh? Wouldn't it be a place to make them happy? ā
Liu Sisi got up again at this time and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Mongolian leader from the north." The leader of the barbarians from the south. Their living habits are different, so their hobbies are different. Wine and meat are not the most joyful things at the table. ā
Zhao Budao thought about it for a while, his brows tightened slightly, and then he showed a smile, pointed at Liu Sisi and laughed: "Sure enough, it's my beloved concubine, you think about it thoughtfully." ā
He turned his face to look at the leaders below and said to them, "Chiefs, what do you think of this idea?" ā
When everyone heard this, the leaders, big and small, were overjoyed.
Zhao Budao said: "Okay, then you can do this thing, how about it?" Sisi, Haoyue, this is a national event, and you can't be sloppy. ā
Liu Haoyue and Liu Sisi looked at each other, they both smiled, and they both thanked each other: "Thank you, Your Majesty, let's go and prepare." ā
The two of them were about to retreat, but Concubine Xie on the side looked at them and muttered in her heart, what did these two people want to do? No one cares about the maid's death, haven't they always wanted to make a fuss about it? Why didn't you mention it all of a sudden?
No, these two must be up to some kind of bad idea.
Concubine Xie immediately got up and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the big and small officials in the palace are here, and we are receiving the leaders with all the strength of the country, which is already in place." If you come up with any more ideas, not to mention that it will be difficult, I am afraid that the leaders will only refuse because of their face. ā
The corners of Zhao Budao's mouth raised slightly, and he said very calmly: "Well, then in your opinion, what should I do about this matter?" ā
Concubine Xie said: "There are many beautiful women in the palace, and they come out to dance to help the wine, which is liked by the leaders of various tribes." Now the palace does not have the energy and time to build any more places, so it is better to greet distinguished guests according to the most ordinary hospitality. ā
Zhao Budao smiled and said, "Visitors, what do you think?" ā
The Mongolian chief said: "We have come from afar to meet and talk to the emperor, so it doesn't matter what form it takes. ā
Li Siyu took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, then we will follow their words and call beautiful women to dance, which is also a happy thing, and there is no need to be so troublesome." ā
Zhao Budao nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Well, okay." ā
The Liu family was angry with each other, they really didn't expect these two people to stir up the situation at this time.
The two of them returned to their seats with unsightly faces.
Zhao Budao said: "Mongolia is in the north of the Tang Empire, but it is next to the Xiongnu. So you must be having a hard time, right? ā
The Mongolian leader saluted and said, "Your Majesty's name." We are adjacent to the Xiongnu, and they always take the opportunity to cause trouble and make us uneasy. A month ago, they robbed us of nearly 1,000 cattle and sheep! ā
Zhao Budao responded calmly: "Oh? Is there such a thing? ā
Concubine Xie said happily in her heart: "This is the time, the time has come." ā
General Li and General Xie, who were seated below, were ready. Old General Xie and Concubine Xie looked at each other, and what was conveyed in their eyes.
Suddenly, Zhao Budao slapped the table and said hatefully: "This Hun was beaten back to their hometown by us last time, why is he back now?" It's not just you. I have been influenced by them here, too. ā
"Oh, by the way, barbarian leader, the last time I went south to the south of the Yangtze River, I was almost killed by the rebels."
Zhao Budao pointed at the barbarian leader and said, "Do you know? ā
The barbarian leader shook his head and said, "We are in the south, and we don't know that there is such a thing. It was only later that the emperor sent someone to quell the rebellion, and we found out. ā
Zhao Budao patted Li Siyu on the shoulder and said proudly, "I told you." This person who put down the rebellion is the woman next to me. ā
When everyone saw it, they were surprised again.
Concubine Xie deliberately said at this time: "The leader of the Huns that Sister Siyu let go last time seems to have gone south to find trouble again. ā
Li Siyu couldn't help trembling, what the hell was going on with Sister Xie, why did she suddenly say this.
But she thought about it, no, Sister Xie may have her own thoughts.
Li Siyu didn't speak for a long time, she kept staring at the emperor, and when she expressed her opinions to each other just now, the emperor was expressionless, which shows that the emperor's inner thoughts never tell others.
The city is really deep, and Li Siyu is sitting next to a person who is very deep in the city, which makes Li Siyu feel like a pin. I was so scared.
Zhao Budao listened to Concubine Xie's words, nodded and said, "Well, what's wrong?" ā
Concubine Xie said: "The concubine seems to have heard something. ā
Zhao Budao's face changed suddenly, and then he calmed down again, his face returned to his calmness, and then he said softly: "Well, you go on." Now the people sitting in the court are our friends, and you don't have to hide it. ā
In fact, what Zhao Budao meant by this was to remind Concubine Xie that she wanted her to be careful when she spoke and not to say anything.
But this is exactly what Concubine Xie meant.
Concubine Xie glanced at Li Siyu with interest, and Li Siyu looked at her eyes, as if she saw hope.
Concubine Xie said: "Your Majesty, in the northwest, Shaanxi and Gansu are approaching the Xiongnu, right?" ā
Zhao Budao smiled softly and said, "Yes, you even know this?" ā
Concubine Xie shook her head and smiled, "Whether I know, everyone who fights the enemy in the north knows. ā
She pointed at Li Siyu and said, "Sister Siyu also knows. ā
Zhao Budao was a little impatient and said, "Well, what's wrong?" ā
Concubine Xie said: "Your Majesty, where the Huns invaded us in the south, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu should respond to the enemy." But how come it is that I have only heard that we have been robbed and not fought back? Sister Siyu, a woman, led the soldiers to beat them so that they didn't dare to go south, what did the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu do to eat? ā
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes were cold and sharp, and she quickly swept around the court and spotted the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. (To be continued.) )
