Chapter 249: Fortune Telling
Xu Zizhen glanced at him drunkenly: "Fortune teller? Save it, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this. ”
The Taoist priest chuckled: "Don't believe it, the poor Dao has calculated that Gongzi will have a bloody disaster in the near future." ”
Xu Zizhen glared at the Taoist priest with drunken eyes, and said with a big tongue: "Lao Tzu has no menstruation, where does the blood come from...... Uh, the Bloodlight Calamity? ”
"The poor road has been mixed in the rivers and lakes for decades, and the hexagram with others has never been miscalculated, if the son does not believe the words of the poor road, he is only afraid of ......"
The old Taoist priest stroked the sparse goatee under his chin, his eyes narrowed, and he shook his head, not seeing any fairy wind bones, but a little bit of the taste of an old god stick.
Xu Zizhen looked as if he would be drunk at any time, and glanced at the cloth banner beside the Taoist priest with the wine jar, and said disdainfully: "Guiguzi? Shh You're just a life teller, Lao Tzu...... Uh, Lao Tzu can calculate the destiny of heaven, you show it to me? How far is it...... Roll how far away. ”
"Destiny? Hehe, Childe just doesn't want to listen to the poor way, and there is no need to use such nonsense to perfunctory the poor way, right? ”
"Believe it or not, I'm not afraid to tell you that the 100,000 Xia army was defeated at Apricot Fort...... Well, that's what Lao Tzu had already calculated. ”
Xu Zizhen was obviously drunk, and he didn't care that there were other guests in the restaurant, so he shouted loudly, after all, this is the capital of the Western Xia Dynasty, and it is a capital crime to talk about state affairs in vain, not to mention that this benevolent brother actually didn't open any pot and which pot, talking about the defeat of the Western Xia army, and the guests at the next table all cast surprised and horrified glances at him, and a few people had already secretly checked out and prepared to leave, saving them from being connected.
Guiguzi was not so timid, just chuckled and shook his head, and did not speak again, but there was obviously a look of complete disbelief on his face.
Xu Zizhen glared and slapped the table: "What, don't believe it?" ”
Guiguzi said with a smile: "Poor Dao can also be counted as the Mandate of Heaven, and the matter of Jin Guo's attack on Liao last year has already been calculated. ”
Xu Zizhen sneered: "You can also be counted?" Then Lao Tzu asked you, do you know which year Yelu Yanxi died? How much success will Jerodashi have in the future? Who will be the next emperor of Great Xia? ”
A series of questions were asked, and the smile on Guiguzi's face was gone, replaced by the same horror as the few drinkers just now.
Xu Zizhen snorted proudly, turned around and continued to drink, ignoring him, Guiguzi didn't ask again, but his heart was like a shock.
Yelu Yanxi is the last emperor of the Great Liao, Emperor Tianzuo, as early as a few years ago he has fled because of the Jin State and disappeared, there are rumors that he is hiding in a corner that no one knows about and is still secretly directing the Khitan children to work hard for revenge.
And Yelu Dashi is the eighth grandson of Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, proficient in Liao and Han characters, and very good at riding and shooting, is a civil and military all-round character, once in the Tianzuo Emperor after the exile and the ministers supported the Qin and Jin King Yelu Chun as the emperor, after Ye Lu Chun's death, he supported Xiao Defei as the queen mother to guard Yanjing, and then killed the courtiers to establish himself as the king.
Two years ago, the Song and Jin coalition forces surrounded Yanjing, Yelu Dashi broke through with two hundred iron cavalry, and even beat tens of thousands of Song troops to flee, and successfully escaped from the blockade line of the Song army.
The people of Liao hated him to the core, because he was a complete traitor in the eyes of the Khitans, but no one dared to look down on him.
Guiguzi just said it casually, to satirize Xu Zizhen's nonsense, but he didn't expect the other party to break out these two mysterious figures, and this is not the end, Xu Zizhen even said that he knew who the next Great Xia Emperor was, to know that the prince of Lu Dao had just died, and even Chongzong himself had not decided on the position of the new prince, how could he know Lu Dao?
Xu Zizhen drank happily here, Daye was already sweating profusely, he didn't drink, he was naturally sober, Xu Zizhen drank too much and was full of nonsense, if someone ran to the government to report it, it would definitely be a big trouble, he didn't care so much at the moment, he pulled Xu Zizhen up, and said in a low voice: "Young master, you drank too much, let's go." ”
As he spoke, he took out the money from his arms, carefully counted more than a dozen big money, and asked Xiao Er to come over to settle the bill, and then dragged Xu Zizhen out of the door in a panic, all of which fell in Guiguzi's eyes.
……
It was late at night, and a bright hooked moon hung high in the sky, and most of the people in the city had fallen asleep at this hour, but there were exceptions, such as Xiao Mansion.
The candle flame in the study was still lit at this time, Xiao Taishi was sitting behind the desk, his eyelids were half-drooping and his face was expressionless, and there was a person standing in front of the table, it was the Guiguzi who was the iron-mouthed god but could not count Xu Zizhen, at this time he was standing quietly, without making any sound, the master did not speak, he naturally would not trespass.
I don't know how long it took for Taishi Xiao to slowly speak: "Let's talk about it, how have you seen it in the past few days?" ”
Guiguzi raised his head slightly, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "Back to Taishi, then Xu Zizhen is afraid that he is indeed desperate." ”
Taishi Xiao still didn't raise his eyelids, and only asked lightly, "How can you see it?" ”
"On the first day, he entered the restaurant to settle the bill, and the next day it was still the same, and on the third day, he went to the palace gate to ask to see the princess, and bribed the palace guards, and when he settled the bill in the evening, he only gave two big money, and today it is even worse, when he checks out, he only pays according to the price of the restaurant, and a big son does not give more."
Taishi Xiao listened like this, without any reaction, Guiguzi continued: "It seems that this son did not bring more silver taels when he defected, but I am afraid that tomorrow he will not even be able to drink wine and live in the inn, and besides, there is news from the palace that the emperor has run out of patience, and today he is even more angry in the dormitory. ”
After Guiguzi finished speaking, he lowered his hands and stood without saying a word, Xiao Taishi sat motionless in the chair as if he was asleep, and suddenly spoke again after a long time: "In your opinion, is Xu Zizhen's defection true or false?" ”
Xiao Taishi's position and ministers, his position in the court is unshakable, and he can compete with the current emperor with the power of a government and even use his crooked brain, which shows that his thinking is meticulous and old-fashioned, Guiguzi has followed him for many years, and naturally knows the character and ability of the master of the Dao, and he asked this not to ask for his opinion, but to have a qualitative theory in his heart, but to listen to other different opinions.
"It's hard to say." Guiguzi thought for a moment and only said these three words, then paused and said, "But the truth and falsehood can be tested out, if it is false, there is no need to entangle it anymore, if it is true...... This person can be wooed. ”
Taishi Xiao suddenly raised his eyelids, a fine light flashed in his slightly squinted eyes, and he said with a smile: "Whether it's true or not, it's rare that this Xu Zizhen can enter your eyes." ”
