Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Tree Wants to Be Quiet and the Wind Doesn't Stop
Just do what he said, and the next morning, when he came out of the palace and returned to his Song Palace, Zhao Yu immediately gathered everyone in the palace.
The Song Palace, which will also be where Xiao Yiyi will live in the future, Empress Dowager Xiao and Emperor Tianzuo naturally can't be stingy, what maids, servants, cooks, guards and other miscellaneous personnel directly gave a top match, the total number adds up to no less than three hundred people, and gold and silver and other things are also countless rewards, so don't look at Zhao Yu now that his pocket is cleaner than his face, but he is really not bad for money.
Zhao Yu didn't say what to do, first personally led the team to bulldoze the backyard garden, and then invited the palace construction master to design the palace drawings according to the size of the site, and at the same time ordered the guards and servants to go out to collect ice and snow.
Because the materials were all ready-made, almost on the same day, the construction of the ice and snow palace in Zhao Yu's mansion began.
After Xiao Yiyi got the news, she was inexplicably surprised, she didn't expect Zhao Yu to do what she said, she was already a fun-loving age, and after reporting to her aunt, she also hurriedly took a group of people to join the construction team.
In a big place in Beijing, there is something that can't be hidden, let alone something as big as collecting ice and snow.
Everyone is cleaning up the ice and snow outside, but the freshly baked His Royal Highness the King of Song poured ice and snow into his home, which can be regarded as the first big news of the new year.
Soon, the officials and ordinary people who got the news flocked to the city, some inquiring about the news, and some wanted to go in and have a look, but all of them were blocked out.
Joke! The dignified Song Palace, can anyone who wants to enter it?
There is a lot of strength in numbers, not to mention that there is no need to lay a foundation and other cumbersome procedures to build a house with ice and snow, and in two days, the prototype of a huge palace will appear.
Like the Central Plains, the craftsmen of the Liao State are all Han people, and the industrious wisdom of the Han people is undoubted, Zhao Yu made a start, and Zhao Yu almost didn't have to worry about the rest.
At the same time as the construction of the Snow Palace, various forms of snow sculptures were carved in other parts of the palace.
Zhao Yu said to Xiao Yiyi that after the project is completed, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will be invited to visit first.
As Zhao Yu said, Xiao Yiyi was a girl who hadn't grown up, how could such a fun thing leave her behind, and later she was more active than Zhao Yu, and she was so busy every day that she almost forgot about Zhao Yu.
As the protagonist, there are many people who are worried about Zhao Yu, such as the concubine Xiao Xian, although it was Xiao Yiyi who killed his brother, but he was not stupid, knowing that if it weren't for Zhao Yu, Xiao Yiyi would not have been able to do it himself.
On the surface, Xiao Keyeda died because he offended the princess, but judging from the news fed back from Youzhou, Xiao Xian already understood that Zhao Yu's incident was aimed at the Khitan nobles.
Xiao Xian is a person with a lot of ghost ideas, knowing that the Queen Mother loves Xiao Yiyi, so it is impossible to punish Zhao Yu, but with such a big hatred, how could he not revenge it? If you swallow this breath, I am afraid that you will not have to mix among the Khitan nobles in the future.
Zhao Yu was busy making snow sculptures on his side, and Xiao Xian also began to plan how to deal with Zhao Yu.
There are also many Han officials in Liao, among which the highest official positions are Yu Zhongwen, Zuo Qigong and Zhang Lin, all three of whom are the governors of Liao, equivalent to the position of prime minister of the Central Plains, but because they are Han, although the official positions of these three people are high, they have no real power, so their position is more like a kind of senior adviser, and they will ask about it.
Xiao Xian had a good relationship with the three of them, and after the year, he took the opportunity of visiting the door to pay New Year's greetings and invited all three of them to the house.
According to the words of the Han people, these three shameless people are typical traitors, but the traitors are not ashamed of this, and they don't think that other Han people are better than them.
And Zhao Yu's birth undoubtedly stimulated the sensitive nerves of the three people.
After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Xian felt that it was almost over, so he waved his hand and drove everyone out.
"Several adults should have heard that my clan brother died tragically in Youzhou, not only that, but even the family property was occupied, I..."
Xiao Xian is very talented in acting, and before he finished speaking, he even squeezed out the tears of the evil fish.
"Don't be like this, don't do that, if there's anything we need to do, just say it."
A big man shed tears when he said that he shed tears, and the three old shameless guys couldn't help but feel a chill.
Yu Zhongwen's eyes rolled, and said: "Actually, don't worry about the horse, this son offended all the Khitan nobles as soon as he came, although he has the favor of the queen mother now, but the prosperity will decline, when the grudge reaches a certain level, I am afraid that even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will not be able to protect him."
"Brother Zhongwen's words are wrong, there are some matters sooner rather than later, you can't wait indefinitely, right?"
The meaning of Zuo Qigong is obvious, the queen mother's body is strong, she eats a lot of incense, and it is possible to live for a few more decades, and when the time comes, maybe who will rely on whom to die!
Yu Zhongwen didn't like to be refuted, so he frowned and said, "Then what does Brother Zuo mean?" ”
"It's very simple, drive him out of Beijing, let the nobles and lords in the local state capital clean him up, and then the wood will be completed, and the Queen Mother and Your Majesty will have nothing to do."
"Lord Zuo is right, but haven't you noticed? What kind of snow sculpture is that gentleman is doing, it seems that he doesn't plan to leave Beijing, and listening to the news from the palace, the Queen Mother doesn't seem to plan to let him leave."
Xiao Xian's wife is also a princess, and it is not difficult to get some news from the palace.
I heard that the Queen Mother didn't plan to let Zhao Yu leave Beijing, Yu Zhongwen and Zuo Qigong didn't say anything, they all knew that the emperor listened to the Queen Mother the most, if the Queen Mother really had this plan, I was afraid that this matter would have already been decided.
"Master Zhang, do you have any good ideas?"
Xiao Xian turned his head to Zhang Lin, who had been silent, he knew, don't look at this Zhang Lin usually doesn't talk much, but he has a bad stomach.
"I'm thinking that Aguta and Wu Qimai and other high-level Jurchen leaders were killed by the bombing, should we send a big man to offer condolences to show the heart of reconciliation between the two countries"
Listening to Zhang Lin's words, several other people were stunned, in fact, everyone knew that if it weren't for the sudden death of Akuta and others, the Jurchen army would probably have killed them, and some of them were even ready to surrender.
Although the situation has changed now, everyone knows that the Jurchens will kill them sooner or later, but if they can take this opportunity to have a good relationship with the Jurchens, it will not be a great blessing.
Yu Zhongwen was the first to react and blurted out: "Lord Zhang means to let that kid envoy Jurchen?" How can it be? ”
The two countries are still in a state of hostility, and the Jurchens will even think that their boss was killed by someone sent by the Liao State, and now sending someone to pay tribute to Ah Gu is not equivalent to sending him to death?
It's just someone else, Zhao Yu is the future husband of the Queen Mother's favorite niece, even if the Queen Mother agrees, Xiao Yiyi can't agree! Zhang Lin's idea is too whimsical!
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Zhang Lin smiled gloomily and said, "Of course this matter can't be raised by us, what if the Jurchens let that kid go?" ”
"Lord Zhang's idea is good, but I am full of talents, how could the Jurchens name a stinky boy to hang his filial piety?"
"Lord Zuo doesn't know, the lower officials overheard that the Jurchens found out that Ah Guta's death was probably done by the Song Dynasty"
At this point, there is no need to say any more, because anyone can do anything wrong.
Xiao Xian's eyes finally lit up...
