Chapter 071: Carpenter's Soul Emperor's Life

Subsequently, the peace negotiations between the Khitan and Southern Chu came to an end, and the great war between the Khitan, Western Xia and Southern Chu ended with the annihilation of the entire army of Southern Chu at Jinshui Fort. Because of this war in the north, Nanchu www.biquge.info had huge military expenditures, and originally thought that if he won this battle, he could raise his eyebrows and reinvigorate the national fortunes, but he didn't expect to lose in a mess.

The sixteen states of Yanyun also left the embrace of Southern Chu forever, and they also had to pay tribute to the Khitan every year, which was called sponsoring military expenses. What's more, what made the people of Southern Chu despise this war was that even the dignified Emperor Xuanhe of Southern Chu became a prisoner of the Khitan, and finally he was released after signing the peace treaty. Some people with lofty ideals or people with bad intentions saw that the country had become like this, and some restless factors were surging in the land of Southern Chu.

When Emperor Xuanhe left the Khitan camp, the Khitan Emperor also gave Xiong Jie a wooden mechanical fan in order to make Xiong Jie more obsessed with carpentry.

Xiong Jie thought that his carpentry skills were comparable to those of the skilled craftsmen in the court, but when he saw a hand-cranked fan given to him by Yelu Hongye, he felt like he had learned a fake carpentry. The structure and craftsmanship of this thing simply turned his understanding of carpentry on its head. It turns out that carpentry is not just a simple carving of dragons and phoenixes and inlay spells, Xiong Jie plays with it for a while and can't put it down.

"Brother, this is called a fan, which master craftsman is from, I want to learn from him. And how to use this thing, forgive my brother for being stupid and unable to comprehend the mystery. ”

Yelu Hongye saw that Xiong Jie couldn't put it down and smiled with satisfaction. He called an old man who looked like Nan Chu and asked him to demonstrate how to operate this fan.

I saw that the old man just gently stepped on the pedal under the fan, and a few blades of the fan rotated.

"Brother Xian, you can stand in front of this fan and feel it." As soon as Xiong Jie stood in front of the fan, he felt a cool breeze coming, which made people feel very comfortable.

"Wow, this fan is amazing, it's much better than those fans in my palace."

The old man changed the handle next to the fan, and the speed of the fan became faster.

"Wonderful, wonderful." Emperor Xuanhe clapped his hands, hurriedly took the old man's hand, and asked, "Master, did you make this called a fan?" ”

The old man saw that it was the current Emperor of Southern Chu, so he hurriedly knelt down and replied, "Back to the emperor, this fan was not made by Xiaomin, but by Lu Xiaoyu, the first successor of my Henan Gong Losing Class. ”

"It turns out that the old man, you are also from Nanchu. Wait, who did you just say made it? ”

"Back to the emperor, it is Lu Xiaoyu, the descendant of the public loss class."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the descendant of this public loser, I wanted to summon him last time. But the ministers did not approve of me going to see him. The last time I saw the ID card he invented, it was quite interesting, and it was implemented very successfully in Nanchu, I heard that everyone has a ID card of their own, and even I carved one for myself. As he spoke, Emperor Xuanhe took out a small wooden board and showed it to Yelu Hongye.

I saw that there was the name, birth, and address of Emperor Xuanhe, and the location of the certificate on the back, and the iconic official seal of Southern Chu was engraved on both sides. Although the ID card is a small piece, the workmanship, carving and polishing are very fine. Yelu Hongye was also amazed after reading it, the one who could invent this is indeed a strange person, but unfortunately he didn't find this person, so he didn't have to buy him and work for the Khitan. It's this ID card, there are few adults in the Khitan land, and everyone has this thing, but it is easy to manage, and they are not afraid of being mixed into spies.

"I didn't expect the descendants of this public losing class to have such superb skills, and even people like me who don't know carpentry at all have to admire. It's a pity that the last time I went to Henan, I only found that the fan he gave to this old man did not find any trace of him. ”

After saying that, Yelu Hongye showed murderous intent in the eyes of the old man, this fan was discovered when he attacked Henan before, and he just thought it was a little interesting at the time, so he brought the old man who could use this thing and the fan back to Khitan. But the old man had never told him about the origin of the fan before, and he had always lied that it was picked up by the side of the road. This old man deliberately concealed it from him, and he must not want him to find Lu Xiaoyu. The more he couldn't get the Khitan Emperor, the more he wanted to find it.

"Listening to Brother Xian's tone, do you know where this Lu Xiaoyu is now, why don't you go to him?"

"Alas, my brother doesn't know, as the king of a country, I have been in charge of the east and west by these ministers, and I can't go anywhere, this Lu Xiaoyu has no intention of being an official, so I have been living in seclusion in Wuyue, and I don't know where I am now."

Yelu Hongye secretly remembered that Lu Xiaoyu was in Wuyue, and had secretly ordered someone to find his whereabouts.

Yelu Hongye talked to Xiong Jie about carpentry on a whim before reluctantly saying goodbye to him. On the Luan drive back to Jingzhou City, Emperor Xuanhe took Tong Zhongxian with him, "Zhongxian, after I go back, I must give Lu Xiaoyu back from Wuyue." ”

Tong Zhongxian saw that the time was ripe, and there were only two people on Luan's hand, he and the emperor, and proposed: "Your Majesty, now we are going back to Jingzhou City." I think that while Li Mi and King Wu Yue are aware, they will definitely take action when they see that the emperor can return to the palace safe and sound this time. We still need to strike first, don't you want to summon Lu Xiaoyu, Your Majesty? This person is in Wu Yue, so naturally he can't escape from under the nose of King Wu Yue. Under this pretext, we summoned King Wu Yue and Lu Xiaoyu into the palace to face the saint, and cut off the title of King Wu Yue's vassal king and demoted him to commoners. In this way, he will become the prince of the light pole, and no one will support him anymore. As for that Li Mi, he directly sent him to the prison, so that he would never turn over. ”

Xiong Jie was originally in a happy mood playing with the fan, but after listening to Tong Zhongxian's words, he gradually frowned again. After this big ups and downs, he saw so many soldiers of Nanchu lying in pools of blood on the battlefield, and he could not escape the blame. Although he knew that he was mediocre and incompetent, he still had a hard-working male. But after this time, he decided in his heart that he would never care about these annoying things about governing the country in the DPRK and China again, and he was at ease to study and better improve carpentry.

"Zhongxian, King Wuyue and I are blood relatives, and Prime Minister Li Cheng is my teacher and a veteran of the Three Dynasties. I don't know why they rebelled, maybe it's really because I can't govern the country. I won't be too lazy to take care of national affairs in the future, you can handle these things with full authority, I only hope that you can deal with it lightly, and those who can be exempted from responsibility will be exempted. "Xiong Jie looked at the rotating fan with gloomy eyes, I am a carpenter in the south, why was I born in the emperor's family."
