Chapter Ninety-Eight: Familiar

On the official pavilion outside the Qiantang Station, Lian Xixian looked at the official road not far away, which was the busiest border in the country, and the dense flow of people far exceeded that of any other place in the north, no wonder the Great Khan was so thoughtful.

"Zhongfan, this trip is all up to you, the Great Khan's handwritten edict must be collected, and he can ensure that you are safe all the way. Liangchuan Xingyuan, Xichuan Wang Liangchen should be in the right place, those who are worried, Dongchuan is under the rule of King Anxi, if you want to move him, you need to find another person. ”

"Shangshu is talking about Wang Shi Li Dehui?" Yan Zhongfan nodded, he was no stranger to the situation in Shuzhong.

"I forgot that you stayed in Chengdu Mansion, even so, I won't say much about it, along the way, the mountains and rivers are long, take care."

On the official road, the carriages and horses of the Song people have been prepared, and Yan Zhongfan will go with one of the Song people's rite department, and turn from Jinghu to Chongqing Mansion. With the existence of the Song and Yuan joint envoys, there should be no obstacles to this trip, but to achieve the goal, it depends on the effect of the former's actions.

He gave Lian Xixian a salute as usual, but his heart was turbulent, and Shuzhong was his place of failure. Three years ago, he was still the secretary of the military department, and after he was released, he was a provincial level, but he was almost driven out of the city by the Song people, otherwise how could he live under the people with a mere squire now?

After the delegation was assembled, they hit the road, and Lian Xixian watched them disappear, and this mission, which was divided between the Song and Yuan dynasties, carried his hopes. He has been told that if there is no war in Shuzhong, the peace talks will be indefinite, and he doesn't know how much patience the Song people have, and he himself is about to be driven crazy by these successive changes.

Chen Jingxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who saw him off together, looked at this young peer, who was very calm on the surface, and didn't know if it was the same in his heart.

Lian Xixian's eyes happened to be cast over, and the two of them each smiled bitterly and bowed their hands, neither of them was interested in speaking, one wanted to enter the city and the other wanted to go back to the post station, so they simply broke up in place.

Baominfang Wang's house, Pingzhang Wang Entropy has been staying at home, at this time, it is nothing to go to the political affairs hall, he usually does not go until the next day to make some final decisions.

Chen Xiang sent a Qing guest to come, and the minister also sent his family to give gifts, and the eastern Zhejiang Shuai Division, the coastal system department, and the chief officials of the states and counties were all present. As for the people who have not arrived, the number is immeasurable, and it is expected that this is the case in Dingjing and western Zhejiang, but Daddy doesn't know, what a big battle! ”

In fact, he has been home for a few days, and Wang Gongzi doesn't know why his father only asked him about the details of the wedding today, and told him in detail what he saw.

To be honest, this meeting did make him a little jealous, as if out of thin air a person jumped out of nowhere and robbed him of his own share of the scenery.

Wang Entropy, who was lying on the chair, listened to his son with half-closed eyes, of course, what he wanted to hear was not what everyone could see, but in the end it didn't burst out of his son's mouth, and he was disappointed and a little discouraged.

Liu Yu is not yet thirty years old this year, and he has already achieved the fourth grade, and the official family will not be crowned for ten years. Ten years later, Chen Yizhong, the youngest person in the political hall, is only in his fifties, if he can live, he will definitely be a scholar, and Liu Mengyan is almost the same.

From this point of view, the sage has repeatedly been gracious to him, it has some deep meaning, with Liu Yu's current trend, as long as he does not fall into a stupor, it is almost a sure thing to ascend to the ruling position and enter the political hall after ten years. The saint is paving the way for the official family, and at the same time looking for an opponent for Chen Yizhong!

"You go to the gate of the mansion to see, if Chen Shangshu has arrived, if he arrives, he will bring it directly." Wang Entropy sat up suddenly, opened his eyes, looked at his bewildered son, and swallowed back the words of the lesson.

Entering the forbidden middle in July, the eyes are full of flowers, and between the flower paths, a line of women in palace clothes pass through. Unlike the former Tang Dynasty, the palace clothes of the Song people were more conservative, and even in this hot day, the rules and regulations were not revealed at all.

"This is the powder slave incense, the egg heart yellow, that is the Snow Lady, the royal clothes red"

At the front of the line, two little girls walked hand in hand, one looked smaller and pointed to a closer place, Jing Niang nodded absentmindedly, and from time to time echoed two sentences, but the thoughts had already flown away.

At the end of the palace, she can let her husband not worry, but she can't let go of her heart, what is the reason why the Queen Mother left him alone, and is it a blessing or a curse? Young Cheng court training, how to not understand the truth that a king is like a tiger.

"Thirteenth sister, it seems that these vulgar fat powder can't get into your eyes, I'm a little tired from walking, my residence is in front, why don't you go and sit there?"

The change in her expression did not escape the gaze of others, and Jing Niang came back to her senses and bowed, a little embarrassed.

"Your Royal Highness, if you don't give up, you can just go straight to the name of Jing Niang, there is a lot of disturbance this time, and I hope to forgive my sins."

"That's good, I call you 'Jing Niang', you are also Princess Mo, Your Royal Highness, there is a word 'Qing' in my name, and you are straightforward, and you must not accuse again."

The little girl knew her reaction and stopped her, making Jing Niang very helpless.

"Yes, Your Highness."

As soon as the words came out, the little girl immediately glared at her, but she didn't mean to blame, but took her hand and walked a few steps. Passing through this flower garden, a small courtyard appears in front of you, behind the courtyard is a water pavilion, Jing Niang saw that there are a few words inscribed on it "Chengbi Water Hall", and the payment turned out to be the royal pen of filial piety.

Suddenly walked in from under the sun, a cool sense came to the face, just look at this residence, know that the little girl in front of you should be very favored, has been pulled by her to the inner room, Jing Niang looked at those furnishings are still exquisite, and the cloth curtain hanging in the middle is not new.

"I haven't changed these for two years, and I won't tell you, my body is also made in the first month of this year, how can I compare with you, but it's just a superficial scenery."

Looking at the direction she was looking at, the little girl leaned over and said, what is the situation of the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, Jing Niang is also the first time to see her, but it is not easy to say anything.

"Your Highness is a heavenly noble" Before she finished speaking, she was glanced at by the little girl, and Jing Niang hurriedly stopped.

"Sister Qingqing."

"I have to learn so many rules in one day, and it's easy to meet someone of the same age, if it's still so boring, this princess shouldn't be right."

There are only two palace maids standing at the door in the inner room, both with their heads bowed, they should be her confidants, so there is no taboo in speaking out, Jing Niang thought.

"Your husband is very valued by the eldest lady, and don't worry, I have heard that the eldest lady has mentioned him several times, and he is very happy."

The little girl asked the palace maid to undress her, and comforted Jing Niang, and after a while, she changed into a regular dress.

"There are often some rumors in the palace, and I don't know if it's true or not, since you're here, you might as well tell me, is he really like a storyteller?"

Jing Niang, who had always remembered to be cautious in her words and deeds and rarely spoke, suddenly heard her ask, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, the husband that this "he" refers to?

"It's all market words, with misinformation, Sister Dianqing doesn't have to pay attention to it." After thinking about it, Jing Niang still decided to hide it.

"Oh, since those words are not credible, then tell me what is the truth about your husband."

The little girl didn't let her go, and there was a hint of curiosity in her flawless pupils, so that Jing Niang couldn't say anything to refuse.

After picking out some ordinary deeds, Jing Niang added her own understanding, and it was a little plain to say, but the little girl listened very seriously, and from time to time she had to exclaim, she was indeed a good listener.

The half-truth story was finished, the little girl was still immersed in it, Jing Niang turned her eyes boredly, and inadvertently swept the piano table in the room, and a thing on it caught her attention, and people didn't feel comfortable standing up and walking over.

"That's my master's thing, today she entered the inner court to worship, I'll take it and play with it, do you recognize it?"

Jing Niang doesn't have to pick it up to see, she knows what it is, her own piece was broken, and now I don't know where it is. Sister Pheasant once said that this thing is only available to his husband, how could it appear here? Who will Sister Qing's master be?

"Jing Niang, you are blessed."

The little girl's next words made her stunned, this was the second time someone had said this to her, she was still a person who had only known her for a moment, her heart was a little confused, and the feeling came so suddenly.

"The saint is graceful, and the concerns of the ministers are not unreasonable, the Yuan people are self-assured of their strength, they want to fight, and they want to make peace. If we blindly show weakness, we will only be despised by the enemy, and even if we talk about it in the end, it will be difficult to block the mouth of Youyou. ”

When Liu Yu said this, he paused, and as soon as he told the truth, he saw that Xie's face sank.

"Don't worry, the saints, the Yuan people's desire for peace talks is even more than ours, just a few days later, as soon as the war in Shuzhong stops, the ministers will definitely reach a satisfactory peace agreement with them, and they will not live up to the expectations of the saints."

No matter how long this dream can be done, Liu Yu doesn't want to break it again, because even if he says it, others won't believe it, Li Tingzhi's military newspaper is the best proof, Liu Yu doesn't think he is more authoritative than him.

Xie's eyes were still looking out of the hall, not far away was a heavy palace, and after a long time, she sighed heavily, and her complexion gradually eased.

"That's it, let's do it, the old body is waiting for your news."

Looking at the figure of the young man gradually drifting away, Xie Shi was still a little relieved, at least this son did not deceive her, he was only the lowest-ranking one in the peace trio, what could he do?

Thousands of miles away in the palace of the capital, Kublai Khan's deep voice resounded throughout the hall, since Boyan was sent out by him, the two prime ministers of Zhongshu Province on the left and right have been absent, and the heavy state affairs are all pressed on his own shoulders, which has aroused his fighting spirit.

As for those Hanchens, they could only be consulted, and they were no longer trusted by him as they were in the early years, even if they were ministers of the hidden mansion like Yao Shu.

"Sue sΓΉ Wang Yu, I not only want to be a foot soldier, but also a navy, warships, sea ships, the more the better, don't just complain about suffering, before the end of August, I want to see people and things!"

"The Jurchen ministries will send envoys to urge again, and I don't want anything for this year's tribute, just people. Tell them that all the tribes that come out will be rewarded after the war, and next year's tribute will be halved, and the brave will be drawn into the guards and pro-army to listen to it. ”

Several Han ministers trembled and wrote the will he issued, and then changed people to make various scripts such as Mongolian, Goryeo, Jurchen, etc., and the messenger waited outside the palace gate, and sent one when he made one, and did not dare to delay at all.

"Go down first." Just thinking about what else he hadn't thought of, Kublai Khan suddenly heard a female voice behind him, and everyone in the palace answered, packed up his things and retreated.

"Chabi." As soon as he turned his head, he saw a pair of gentle eyes, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.

"It's not early, and the state affairs can't be done, Your Majesty will take a break and continue tomorrow." Chabi grabbed his arm and said with a smile.

"Well, Namuhan," Kublai Khan said apologetically, but he couldn't say any more.

"He is the son of the Great Khan, and he is born with a responsibility, and even if something really happens, it is fate. On the side of Goryeo, I have already sent a letter to Kudu Lujian to be lost, and I will not miss the matter of His Majesty. ”

Chabi's tone was a little low, Namuhan was her own son, and now it fell into the hands of the old enemy, although there was no bad news yet, but worry was inevitable, Kublai Khan took her into his arms, and the two hugged each other in the temple and were speechless, just like every time he came back from the expedition.
