Three, two, four, female
Chapter 324: Not Close
Instigated Ruhotini to look at the glass mirror and carefully examine his appearance.
She is Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old today, but she still has charm, and she looks like she is in her early thirties. The face is a rare white on the grassland, smooth and clean as jade. Her hair was still jet black, draped over her shoulders like a waterfall, and her eyes shimmered with wisdom and serenity. When she looks up, she has faint forehead lines on her forehead, and when she is emotionally intense, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes are very noticeable.
She has to see her strengths and weaknesses clearly, and only then can she move on to the next thing.
The wait was always long, and it took two hours for her to get the news she needed.
"Pack yourselves, Your Majesty wants to see you." The messenger was not a eunuch with a strange temperament, as she had heard in the north, but rather a young soldier who walked vigorously, and although he had a clear dislike for instigating Ruhe Tenni, he still admired this vigorous and resolute style. The Son of Heaven in the south reuses such soldiers, and the monarchs and ministers are so young, their ambitions will definitely not be limited to the northeast of the Central Plains.
When he realized this, he was a little gloating that in the most difficult time of the Mengyuan Dynasty, both Ogedai and Chagatai refused to send troops to help, so sooner or later the muskets of the Song people would be pointed at them.
In recent years, Tuo Lei imitated the system of the Song people, made slight changes on the basis of the original Jin Kingdom Palace in Huanglong Mansion, and built his own hall. He didn't like such a big hall, and he didn't like this kind of weird-looking building, and he always felt that something was wrong. When she followed the young soldier through the palace of the Great Song Dynasty, she understood what the problem was, the palace of the Great Song Dynasty was natural, majestic and magnificent, which made people respectful, and the tow thunder was changed in the Huanglong Mansion, after all, it was a fake thing to imitate, with its form but without its god, in the words of the Han people, it is to draw a tiger and not become an anti-dog.
Hülegü gritted his teeth, he was fifteen years old, tall and strong, and looked like a foal. He turned his face sideways and glanced at his mother, who was dressed up beautifully today, and even had Song people's jewelry on her head. Little Ali Buge didn't understand what this meant, but Hülegü couldn't have been more clear: his mother wanted to show off her in exchange for their brother's survival.
This made Hülegü very angry: the man had to rely on his mother to sell his hue to survive.
At his age, he did not think that this was the inevitable result of his ancestors' captivity and plundering of other people's wives and daughters. But he swore in his heart that he would never allow this to happen.
However, Brother Ali Bu is still young and ignorant, and it is strange to see anything, and he doesn't stop looking around.
At first, Hülegü was still remembering how to walk through several courtyards, but after turning for a full five minutes, he was already dizzy, and he simply stopped thinking about it. Just when he was walking impatiently, the young soldier who led the way in front suddenly stood up straight: "It's here." ”
Then a few more people came up, some men and some women, groping on the three of them for a while, and the corners of Hülegu's mouth sneered: The emperor of the Song people is really timid, and even the three of them who have been disarmed have to search again. Instigated Lu Heteni but was calm and very cooperative, and even smiled at the palace maid who searched her.
After confirming that they were not hiding their weapons, the three of them were lowered into the courtyard, and only then did they enter the courtyard, a cool air came over their faces, and then a huge curtain of water. The three of them are all from the north, and they are intolerant of the scorching heat in the south, but when they get here, they can't help but take a deep breath, only to feel that the pores of their bodies are open, and they are indescribably comfortable.
This is the small courtyard where Zhao and Ju take refuge from the summer, and the clear spring brought by the waterwheel drip down from the waterways that are cleverly arranged around the courtyard, and the small pond of green bamboo drives away the heat in the yard.
After a brief pause, he instigated Ruhe Tini to collect his emotions and looked up at the other side of the water curtain, only to see a person sitting in the pavilion by the pool, looking at some book, unaware of their arrival. She stared at this person tightly, but through the water curtain, she felt that she couldn't see clearly. She took a few steps forward, through the curtain of water, and finally got a clear view of the man.
It was a rather young man, who did not look yet thirty years old, and who was not as elegant as Temujin, nor as heroic as Tuolei. When he was concentrating on looking at things, his brows were slightly twisted together, and there was a different smell, which made Ruheteni's heart skip a beat.
The attentive man was the most moving, and she forgot that she had heard of it.
"You're here." Zhao Youju put down the book, smiled faintly at the mother and son, and then gently shook the bell on the stone table. Immediately some of the attendants came up and brought the mazar for the mother and son, and put cotton pads on the mazar.
Instigated Lu He Tini didn't dare to sit down, she bowed down and said in Chinese: "The sinner woman instigated Lu He Tini to visit the Great Song Emperor, long live the Great Song Emperor, long live the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Behind her, the two sons did not bow down.
Zhao Youju put down the official document in his hand and said without emotion: "Get up." ”
Zhao and Ju were somewhat disappointed that they did not catch Tuolei, Meng Ge and Kublai Khan, except for these three people, they were all small shrimps in his eyes, and he was not interested in exerting his prestige on the orphans and widows who instigated Lu Heteni, and called them to come, but he hoped that with the help of their strength, he could do a better job in dealing with the Mongolian people.
Instigated Lu Heteni to raise his eyes slightly, and looked at Zhao Heju, and then was disappointed to find that when the emperor of the Song Kingdom looked at her, his eyes were clear and cold, and there was not the slightest lust in it.
What the beauties of the southern country have is that in this harem, there are so many palace maids who are young and beautiful and hope to be favored by Zhao Heju, and Zhao Youju does not have any special hobbies for wives and.
"You are the son of Song who killed my grandfather and my father's brother?"
Just when he was instigating Lu Heteni to lose his mind, Ali Buge suddenly pointed at Zhao and Ju and asked. Zhao Youju's eyes moved to the child's face, but there was no anger, an ant yelled at the elephant, and it was strange that the elephant would pay attention to it. He lowered his eyes and looked at the official document again, and at this moment, Hülegü, who had not been able to bear it for a while, suddenly pounced on him: "Song Dog ......"
Only halfway through his words, he kicked one foot on Hülegü's chest and kicked him away, and Zhao Heju didn't raise his eyes, but just ordered: "Twelve, leave him alive." ”
It was Long Twelve who kicked this kick, he was beside Zhao Heju, like a wooden man, his eyes didn't turn a bit, although Hülegü saw him, he thought he was an inner servant, and didn't put him in his eyes, but he was kicked away. Hülegü got up and wanted to earn, but Long Twelve grabbed his collar with one hand, dragged him to the edge of the small pool, and immersed his head in the pool water.
After drinking a few sips of the pool water, Hülegü felt as if he was about to lose his breath, and only then was he taken out by Long Twelve, and he took a breath, and then was stuffed into the pool again.
After reading a recital, Zhao Youju raised his eyes and found that Ali Buge was watching the dragon twelve concoct Hülegü in a daze, while the instigation of Lu Heteni was standing calmly, not saying a word. This made Zhao Youju a little surprised, and he raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you intercede for your son?" ”
"I've got two dead sons." He replied unexpectedly: "Their lives are in your hands, and you are not one who will forgive your enemies because of my plea, your majesty. ”
Zhao Youju didn't deny this evaluation, but he still laughed: "Do you think that reckless little boy who doesn't know how to hide will become my opponent?" ”
"Huh?" Instigated Lu Heteni was stunned.
"I'm not Temujin, I'm not one of those crazy wolves on the grassland, I'm the son of China, what I know and learn is different from what you think...... Are you religious? ”
Zhao Heju noticed the cross hanging around the neck of Ruheteni, and couldn't help but ask with some surprise. His question was so jumpy that he was stunned for a moment before answering: "Yes, may the Father bless me." ”
"Tut-tut......"
Zhao Youju shook his head, he didn't have a good impression of Nestorianism, and he was just a raccoon dog with the Pope of Rome. He lightly tapped the stone table twice, losing interest in going around in circles with Lu Heteni again, but said bluntly: "I will not embarrass your mother and son, but you remember, take care of those two children, if they do something that violates the laws of my Great Song Dynasty, then they will be beaten and killed, and no one can save them!" ”
"Your Majesty is generous, may Heavenly Father bless you too!" Instigated Lu Heteni to be overjoyed, but she had hesitation in her heart, on the grassland, she had seen too much betrayal and conspiracy, and she always felt that if she didn't catch something, this promise of the Song Emperor still seemed unreliable.
Her face naturally flushed, her eyes were watery, and her slightly raised eyelashes fluttered lightly. However, when she turned her eyes to Zhao and Ju, she found that her charm was completely unnoticed by the other party. Zhao Heju held a letter and read it in a serious manner.
"The Mongols will make a distinction, those who can speak Chinese can stay on the steppe, those who can write Chinese characters can serve as nobles, and those who can't speak and can't write must be reduced." After a while, Zhao Heju said lightly: "God has the virtue of a good life, I naturally will not kill these people, I have some islands overseas, which are more suitable for Mongolian grazing, starting with the nearest Beihai Island, this matter tells you, if your mother and son are willing to help, there will be less damage in the process, if you are not willing to help......"
Speaking of this, Zhao and Ju didn't say anything more, and he was about to end the conversation with Lu Heteni: "In short, on my land, only the Mongolian people are allowed to live like sheep, and provide me with wool and goat milk, if the Mongolian people still want to continue to be wolves, you can also go to the west, in a place that I can't control—you can write a letter to Okotai and Chagatai, and after I have cleaned up the Western Xia, I will go to clean them up, and those who know each other will come and descend early, or let me get out of the grassland." ”
Instigated Lu Heteni only felt a chill in her body, her lips trembled slightly, and Long Twelve also let go of Hülegu, who had been half poured with water, and the mother and son left under his angry eyes.
Zhao Youju didn't pay any more attention to the mother and son, he reviewed another notebook, and then put down his pen: "The king of Goryeo invited me to his mansion - is it today?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The maid behind him answered.
"Then let's drive, I'm also a little tired, but I want to see what tricks the king of Goryeo is playing." Zhao and Ju Dao.
The king of Goryeo, Wang Hao, has lived in Lin'an for six years, and from the initial trembling and precarious king of the foreign domain, to now he is also familiar. In the past two years, he has repeatedly played and asked Zhao and Ju to take advantage of his vassal mansion, but Zhao and Ju have mostly refused. This time Meng Yuan was destroyed, he played again, asked Zhao and Ju to come, and said in the compromise, "The minister's hatred of the country is only His Majesty's snow, on the occasion of this celebration, I ask Your Majesty to come to the cold house to show the heart of the minister", the words were very sincere. As for the issue of the northern part of the peninsula, Zhao and Ju also had something to explain to him, so they agreed to his request.
His vassal palace is far away from the palace, but it is a good place by the West Lake, the mansion is not large, and the appearance is not eye-catching, but there is a hole in the inside. The king of Goryeo had a vassal king every year, and sent the children of the royal family to participate in business, and he never lacked resources, so he did not dare to build a large mansion to avoid trouble, so he devoted his mind to how to arrange the interior decoration. In addition to the step-by-step Chinese garden style, there are also more modern ornaments, such as tiles, cement and glass, which are more attentive to the local aspects than the imperial palaces of Zhao and Ju.
"Wang Qing's mansion is good, I also feel that there is a mystery hidden in it, and it is also a scene in this Lin'an City, why have I never heard anyone talk about it?" Zhao and Ju said with a smile after enjoying it.
"Your Majesty, please." Wang Hao led him to the back garden: "The ministers have few friends, and they never invite their peers here, so Your Majesty doesn't know." ”
In the back garden, Zhao and Ju sat down, Wang Hao served on the side, after a while, Zhao and Ju only felt that their eyes lit up, and they saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl graceful and came, serving him fragrant tea. The girl's face is like a peach blossom and her eyes are like a star, and when she laughs, her eyes are crooked like moon buds, and she has a healthy and lively youthful atmosphere. Zhao Heju glanced at her twice, Wang Hao smiled in his heart, and said respectfully: "This is the minister's little girl Shouxing." ”
"Oh......"
Zhao and Ju understood Wang Hao's idea, and he thought of Fang Cai's performance of instigating Lu Heteni, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, the so-called full of warmth and lust, Fang just went through the temptation of a married woman and a mature woman, and now he is going to start the test of a Lori girl?
"When the minister was in Goryeo, he was a puppet of the Cui family, and he never slept peacefully, and when he was hiding from Menghu on Ganghwa Island, he didn't even eat and covered his body. After the ministers came to the Great Song Dynasty, they not only slept peacefully and ate sweetly, but also gained a lot of weight. Everything of the minister was given by His Majesty, and he had the intention to dedicate land to repay His Majesty's virtue, but although the minister was called the king of Goryeo, he actually had no land. After a long while, I didn't see any other reaction from Zhao and Ju, Wang Hao turned his heart and directly picked out what he meant: "The minister is the only woman, although her appearance is ugly, she can also sweep the court for His Majesty, and I am willing to sacrifice her to the palace to repay Your Majesty's kindness." ”
Zhao Heju, who originally wanted to pretend not to know, didn't expect this Goryeo king to be so direct, he looked at Wang Hao, and then at Shouxing, who was blushing and prostrating on the ground, and smiled slightly bitterly.
Note 1: The age of the instigator has not been ascertained, but it is speculated that she was sixteen years old when she gave birth.
Note 2: Shouxing's birth and death have not been found, and she is only fifteen years old here.
