Chapter 396: House Arrest Again
House arrest again! Li Zhang never dreamed that he had just come out of Liu E's house arrest and came to Liao State thousands of miles away, but as soon as he came to Yelu Longxu's palace, he was placed under house arrest, and their entire mission was arranged in a military camp, and they could only move in the military camp at ordinary times.
"Duwei, what are the Liao people going to do, are they just keeping us under house arrest?" Fu Bi walked beside Li Zhang with his hands behind his back at this time, and his brows furrowed tightly and asked, It has been almost ten days since they came here, but they have been locked up in this barracks, and they can't go anywhere, it was nothing at first, but now even he is slowly losing patience.
Li Zhang also raised his eyes at this time to look at the situation outside the barracks, there were not many small barracks where they lived, surrounded by fences and ox carts, and there were also pieces of camp tents outside, and from time to time you could see the patrolling Khitan Palace Division.
The whole bowl is actually a large military camp, it can also be seen as a moving city, the periphery is all military camps, that is, the station of the palace guards, and inside is the palace of Yelu Longxu, he and the concubines of the harem live there, in addition to the royal family nobles, civil and military officials are accompanied, and the usual government affairs are also handled here.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that in the past, when receiving envoys, the emperor of Liao generally rushed to the palace in Zhongjing to receive him, and he was very good at picking up the wind, but this time the other party asked the envoy to make the bowl, but after they came here, they were closely guarded, and Li Zhang was not allowed to move around, combined with the news he heard before, which made Li Zhang have a bold guess in his heart.
"Yanguo doesn't need to be in a hurry, didn't you find that the Liao people outside are even more nervous than us?" Li Zhang said with a smile again at this time.
"Captain, did you guess anything?" Fu Bi asked again at this time, he usually mainly focuses on the internal affairs of the mission, so he doesn't know much about the news from the outside world, plus he found that even if he is locked up here, Li Zhang still has a relaxed expression, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all?
"Hehe, in fact, I can't say what to guess, it's just that I feel that the atmosphere here is very familiar." Li Zhang smiled calmly again at the moment.
"Familiar?" Fu Bi was also puzzled when he heard this, and he couldn't understand what Li Zhang's words meant?
I saw Li Zhang put away his smile at this time, and then glanced at the strict guards outside the camp, and then spoke again: "I remember that when Emperor Zhenzong died, the palace was also heavily guarded, and the envoys in the post house were also closely monitored, and they were strictly forbidden to pass on news to the outside world, and this situation was not lifted until His Majesty ascended the throne." ”
As soon as Li Zhang's words came out, Fu Bi's face couldn't help but change greatly, and after a while, he was extremely shocked and said: "Duwei, you mean to say that the emperor of the Liao State has died, so we are under house arrest?" ”
"If it is a death, I'm afraid that the people outside will not only be nervous, but also the whole bowl will take action at that time, after all, whether it is the new emperor ascending the throne or dealing with the aftermath of the old emperor, a large number of people need to act, and they may even return to Zhongjing, so I guess the emperor of Liao should be extremely sick, and even dying, so the whole bowl will be so nervous." Li Zhang smiled calmly again at this time.
The death of the Liao emperor and the accession of the new emperor to the throne were definitely a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty, especially since Li Zhang remembered that after the death of Yelu Longxu, the Liao State also went through a years-long turmoil, which further weakened the rule of the Liao State.
Fu Bi also nodded in agreement when he heard Li Zhang's words, if Yelu Longxu's life was in danger, then everything could be explained, and he also knew that no matter which country, the alternation of the old and new imperial power was mostly accompanied by turmoil in all aspects, and it was difficult to settle down in a few years, and the civil strife in Liao also meant that the pressure on the Great Song Dynasty was reduced, no wonder Li Zhang was so relaxed.
"Duwei, if Emperor Liao really dies, then should we find a chance to pass the news back?" Fu Bi suddenly spoke excitedly again at this time, if the imperial court learned the news, it would definitely be very happy, and as the first person to deliver the news, he would definitely be praised by the imperial court.
"Don't do anything for the time being, so as not to irritate the Liao people." Li Zhang smiled again at the moment, although they are under house arrest, it is not impossible to contact the outside world, such as wild dogs, and the Great Song Dynasty also has a lot of intelligence personnel in the Liao State, such as the Imperial City Division, which can transmit information back through them, but Li Zhang does not plan to do so.
Hearing Li Zhang say this, Fu Bi didn't say anything more, after all, Li Zhang is a righteous envoy, and don't look at Li Zhang's youth, but his ability and vision are far beyond himself, which is also what Fu Bi admires Li Zhang the most, so as long as it is Li Zhang's decision, he will fully cooperate.
In the next few days, the mission was still under house arrest in the barracks, and Li Zhang also let the mission completely relax, should eat, drink, anyway, he can't go out now, it is better to recuperate for a few days, but no one knows, his heart is not as relaxed as it seems, the main thing is that he wants to go back early, after all, June is Qingori's birth period, and now it is almost March, if he can't see Yelu Longxu again, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up with the birth of the child.
Thinking of Qingweaving, Li Zhang couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, he was away from home for so long, he also missed home very much, especially thinking that he was about to become a father, which made him feel like he was in a dream, as if everything had become less real, and at the same time his shoulders seemed to be a little heavy, and when the child was born, he would also leave a piece of his own blood in the Great Song Dynasty, and for the sake of his children and grandchildren, he must not let the Great Song Dynasty repeat the tragedy in history, and he must also clear up these overt and secret threats around him, Create a peaceful environment for children and grandchildren.
Thinking of the above, Li Zhang couldn't help but feel that endless motivation had been added to his body, don't underestimate a father's determination, for the sake of his children's living environment, he can do anything.
Just when Li Zhang was thinking about his thoughts, he suddenly only heard a commotion outside the barracks, which made him stunned, and then walked out of his camp tent, and then saw that the closed barracks gate was suddenly opened, and then a team of elite Khitan cavalry galloped over, driving out other idle people, and then divided from it to both sides, revealing the middle road, and behind the cavalry, a young man in brocade clothes on a horse slowly walked in.
