Chapter 106: The New Year Opens Later
"Xiao Min, I haven't seen you for many days, and you kid doesn't know how to come to the palace to greet me. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shi Hu saw Shi Min and smiled.
Shi Min hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Shi Hu, and said, "Your Majesty has wronged me, I went to the palace twice a few days ago, and Your Majesty is resting, how dare I disturb?" If you don't believe it, ask Lu An. ”
"Oh? Is it true? Shi Hu turned around and asked Lu An next to him.
Lu An hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, that's the case." ”
"So I blamed you." Shi Hu smiled and asked Shi Min again: "What are you doing these days?" Today, I see that you have put on this goose feather armor, not bad! Quite spirited! ”
"Back to Your Majesty, my children and grandchildren have been studying with their father in the barracks these days."
Shi Hu looked at Shi Zhan, who was walking beside Shi Min, and before he could speak, Shi Zhan said first: "Your Majesty is well?" ”
"I'm fine, don't be angry!" Shi Hu was obviously still a little angry.
"Erchen didn't dare to ......," Shi Zhan replied stupidly.
Shi Hu glanced at Shi Zhan and asked, "How are the injuries on your body?" ”
"Thanks to Your Majesty, it's no big deal, it's almost ready!"
Shi Hu didn't say anything more, everyone had already entered the main hall, Shi Hu tidied up his clothes, and climbed to the dragon throne step by step.
"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! All the ministers knelt down and kowtowed and shouted.
"Let's be flat." Shi Hu raised his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The crowd thanked them, then got up and stood in turn.
"Last year, I fought with the Xianbei people, Xihuahou lived up to my expectations and defeated the Xianbei people, and now the Xianbei people have sent the surrender table, you can tell me, this is the Xianbei people really surrendered or fake surrender?"
"Father, the Fifth Emperor Brother has completely annihilated the 60,000 army of Dugu Nanxin this time, and the vitality of the Xianbei people has been greatly damaged, and they must not dare to invade my Zhao State again. This time, Xianbei's Murong Hao sent his two sons, presumably to show his sincerity to his father, so his sons believed that the Xianbei people should sincerely surrender. Shi Zun stood up first and said.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness King Qing is reasonable, Xianbei is located in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, and it is not very civilized, so for a while, his majesty Tianwei was offended by brain fever, and now he has been taught a lesson by Xihuahou, and he should have woken up." You Jian also stood up to support Shi Zun.
"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that the Xianbei people will not really surrender." Zhang Bao stood up and said.
Shi Hu frowned and asked, "Why is this?" ”
"Xianbei is indeed located in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, but because of this, Xianbei people are all fierce, powerful and powerful, and will never bow their heads easily, last year Xihuahou did hit Dugu Nanxin hard, but the minister thought that Xianbei people's surrender this time was just a temporary grievance, and once the time was ripe, he would definitely make a comeback." Zhang Bao Zheng Zheng said with words.
"Father, the son thinks that Lord Zhang's words are completely alarmist, there are only so many Xianbei people in total, and the Snow Wolf Valley almost killed their elite in the first battle, how can Xianbei have the courage to fight other ideas now?" Shi Zun immediately fought back.
Shi Hu looked at the subordinates who were holding their own opinions, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he asked Shi Shi: "Second brother, what do you think?" ”
"Back to my father, my sons support Lord Zhang's views, and Xianbei people must be guarded against." Shi Shi stood up and arched his hand and said.
Shi Hu glanced at Shi Shi, and then asked Shi Zhan, who was standing in the crowd without saying a word, and said, "Zhan'er, tell me what you think?" ”
Shi Zhan walked out of the queue with a serious face and said, "Father, the son thinks that it is still impossible to surrender to the Xianbei people to the Zhao State. ”
"Why is that?" Shi Hu was obviously a little interested in Shi Zhan's unusual answer.
"Xianbei people are the descendants of Donghu, they have been oppressed and enslaved by the Huns for a long time, when the Xiongnu were strong, they did not subdue the Xianbei people, on the contrary, the Xianbei people sent troops to attack the Xiongnu several times, so now just a battle, to determine whether the Xianbei people really surrendered, I am afraid it is too early to say. However, last year's battle in Snow Wolf Valley really hurt the vitality of Xianbei people, and in recent years, Xianbei should not have any action. ”
"What you said is very reasonable, Xianbei people are ambitious, even if they are sincere and begging now, they may make a comeback in the future, as Zhang Bao said, but since Murong Hao sent his son over, this shows that Murong Hao still has some sincerity. Having said that, you have a lot of credit for being able to force Murong Hao to send his son over to negotiate peace. Shi Hu looked at Shi Zhan with satisfaction and said.
"Thank you for your father's compliment." Shi Zhan bowed, then stood back in the queue.
Shi Zun looked at Shi Zhan with some displeasure and said, "The Fifth Emperor Brother's insight is admirable. ”
Shi Zhan glanced at Shi Zun and did not respond.
"Lao Jiu, you go and do your business, there is nothing for you here." Shi Hu saw that the two of them were a little uneasy, so he urged Shi Zun to leave.
"Yes, Father." Shi Zun bowed, glanced at Shi Zhan, and then walked out of the main hall with his sleeves brushed.
"Okay, let's put the things of the Xianbei people first, come, talk about it, what are the performances today?" Shi Hu looked at the audience and asked.
"Your Majesty, the minister has his own music." Liu Yuanzhi stood up and said: "The minister was ordered to investigate the case of assassinating the noble concubine Niangniang in Wolong Mountain, and now he has some eyebrows. ”
"Oh? What eyebrows? "Shi Hu is interested.
"Your Majesty still remembers that after the incident, Deputy Commander Wen and His Royal Highness King Qing claimed that the assassin had been kidnapped, and his subordinates found out that the man in black who had robbed the assassin had appeared in Yecheng half a month ago, and had also fought with the son of Xihua Hou." Liu Yuanzhi said and looked at Shi Min.
Shi Hu immediately asked, "Xiao Min, is there such a thing?" Why didn't you tell me earlier? ”
Shi Min stood up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing, but that is just speculation, and there is no evidence that those men in black are the mysterious people who robbed the assassins on Wolong Mountain. Originally, the grandson planned to report this matter to His Majesty, but at that time, His Majesty was recuperating in Huilan Palace, and the grandson should not be disturbed, so I didn't see you. ”
"Liu Yuanzhi, you continued, what else did you find?" Shi Hu waved at Shi Min and motioned for him to stand back.
"The minister decided that these black-clothed people must be hiding in Yecheng, so he sent someone to visit secretly, but found nothing, so the minister went to Wolong Mountain again, and finally got some news."
When Liu Yuanzhi said this, Gao Shangzhi's heart chuckled, and his intuition told him that Liu Yuanzhi had found a clue.
"What's the news? Hurry up! Shi Hu said impatiently.
"A few days before Niangniang went to Wolong Mountain, there was a person who gave a hundred taels of silver to the Taoist temple, saying that he wanted to send a person in the family to cultivate in the Taoist temple for a period of time, but after the assassination passed, the person and the person who was sent to the Taoist temple mysteriously disappeared, and there has been no news so far. After the minister went home and thought about it, he felt that this matter was a little strange, and went to Wolong Mountain the next day, but he didn't expect that when the minister arrived, there were no chickens and dogs left in the Qiansheng Temple, and there was no one alive. ”
"What? There is such a thing at the feet of the Son of Heaven! Find out who did it! Shi Hu was a little furious.
"Back to Your Majesty, not for the time being, the minister is hurrying up." Liu Yuanzhi lowered his head and said.
"I'll give you another twenty days to find out who did it!"
"Yes......"
Outside the palace, Shi Zun had already arrived, and after waiting for a while, he asked Tan Yuan's people: "Why haven't the Xianbei people come yet?" Didn't you say that it was time to do it? ”
"Back to Your Highness, my subordinates have already gone to see it just now, and the patrol battalion has just entered the city with the Xianbei people outside the city, and it is estimated that it will arrive soon."
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came, and Shi Zun heard the prestige, and Liu Rong's patrol battalion and Xianbei Murong Jun formed two horse teams and walked towards the palace gate.
"Your Highness, here they are." Tan Yuan pointed and said to Shi Zun.
Shi Zun straightened his clothes and walked towards them.
"Huh~" Liu Rong stopped from afar, saluted Shi Zun respectfully, and said: "Your Royal Highness, the last general was ordered to take the Xianbei envoy into the city, and the Xianbei envoy and his party of eighteen have arrived. ”
Shi Zun waved his hand, Liu Rong and the people who patrolled the camp immediately stood up, Murong Jun and Murong Ke and other Xianbei people all dismounted, and the Murong brothers walked out.
"In Xia Zhao Guoqing Wang Shizun, on the order of my father, I am here to wait for all Xianbei envoys." Shi Zun first made a gesture and greeted Murong Jun and the others.
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Qing, who has heard of the name for a long time, and is in Xianbei Murong Jun, this is his younger brother Murong Ke." Murong Jun also politely returned the salute.
"Murong Jun? Murong Ke? I'm sorry, but I haven't heard of you. Shi Zun's eyes were a little indifferent.
Murong Ke glanced at his brother, only to see Murong Jun answer with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Qing is a dragon and a phoenix among the people, how can you know that we are in Xianbei's wild land?" It's normal that you haven't heard of it. ”
Shi Zun originally planned to humiliate Murong Jun in order to provoke him, but he didn't expect Murong Jun to be so calm, without even a trace of anger.
Murong Ke saw that his brother didn't have a seizure, so he could only endure it, because he promised Murong Jun that all words and deeds must be approved by him.
"Murong Gongzi, since it is a surrender table, then before entering the palace, please hand over all the blades you have with you, and when you leave the palace in a while, I will return it to you." Shi Zun pointed to the saber on the waist of Murong Jun and the others.
"Follow the customs, since this is the case, we are respectful rather than obeying." Murong Jun casually handed over his sword, without a trace of anger and dissatisfaction on his face.
