Chapter 0096 - Playing Right

Around the smooth palace road, Lu Fei didn't know which one was which, the scale of the Song Palace was much grander than that of the Tang Palace before, this Song Tianzi's courage seemed to be small, everywhere he walked, he could see five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, not to mention that he was unarmed, even if he had a sharp blade on his body, if he wanted to make something happen in this heavily guarded palace city, it would be a matter of death. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Not only that, but sometimes you can see a team of Gong E's dressed up and skilled, walking back and forth, they walk quickly but very small, unlike the Wang Jien next to him, who walks steadily.

I don't know how many women there are in this palace, I only know one thing, no matter how many women, they are only one person to prepare, I heard in the Tang Palace that there are 6,000 palace women, this Song Palace has at least more than 10,000, stains, change one a day, and I am afraid that the emperor will die of old age and will not be able to change it.

Along the way, Lu Fei didn't speak, he didn't know which words would suddenly reach the ears of the emperor, the emperor was high, and dealing with major affairs in the world would become confusing at any time because of his joys, sorrows, sorrows, and joys, no one could guess the emperor's thoughts, the unpredictability of the sacred heart has been right since ancient times, this reason does not necessarily agree with the emperor, more often than not, he has to do it, the purpose is to maintain a mystery and authority of imperial power among the people of the world, there is no reason at all.

I don't know how long I walked, Wang Jien suddenly stopped, turned around with a smile and pointed to the hall in front of him and said to Lu Fei: "Lu Duzhi, go, the official family is waiting for you." ”

Lu Fei looked up, there were three red background gold characters written on the plaque in front of the hall, 'Jiying Palace', looking around, there are not many palace guards here, and the guards standing outside the hall are all standing a few feet away from the palace wall, but the expressions of those who seem to be facing the enemy have not changed, as if they are just a group of tools who only know how to obey orders, and they do not have any joys, sorrows, and sorrows of their own.

Lu Fei arched his hand and said, "King Xie's inner servant, is the official really summoning the lower officials alone?" ”

Wang Jien nodded, with a trace of disdain on his face, and said: "What kind of person is the official family, it is already the emperor's grace to let the envoys of the Liao State enter the palace, how can he receive it in person, the official family can summon you alone, Lu Du's weight in the eyes of the official family is very heavy, ah, haha, please!" ”

Lu Fei laughed a few times, climbed the steps, and when he arrived at the entrance of the hall, Wang Jien bent down and said loudly to the palace: "Qibing official's family, Xingzhou Jiedu made Lu Fei obey the order!" ”

After a pause, the door of the hall creaked open, and two young attendants stood cautiously in the door, and said softly: "The official family has a decree, announce that he will enter alone." ”

Lu Fei didn't know why, he was nervous for a while, standing in front of the high threshold, he straightened his chest, calmed himself, and as soon as he entered the door, he quickly searched around, but there were only a few waiters and palace maids standing inside, and he didn't see the emperor who had a vague impression.

Whether you see it or not, this gentleman's etiquette must be indispensable, whether you want this thing or not, no matter how great your credit is, in front of the emperor, even if the emperor is not there, you have to make a big gift.

"The envoy of the minister Xingzhou Festival, the commander of the left wing of the Japanese army in front of the palace, Lu Fei was ordered to see the driver, long live the emperor!" I don't know if it's appropriate to shout like this, anyway, he will do this, the hall is empty, and the echoes are bursting.

Although Lu Fei is the envoy of Xingzhou, he didn't know where Xingzhou was, and the Great Song Dynasty didn't say that there were also 180 states below.

The hall was silent, only the layers of veils swayed slightly.

After a while, there was no movement, and I wanted to raise my head and look around, but at this moment, a neutral voice sounded not very far from me: "You are Lu Fei!" ”

Lu Fei didn't dare to raise his head, and said in a loud voice: "It's Weichen." ”

"Flat."

Lu Fei slowly raised his head, and while standing up, he followed the voice to find out where the emperor was, and sure enough, behind the layers of curtains, a non-threatening and angry face was staring at him tightly, he stood there, dressed in a tight red dragon robe, and a pair of thick eyebrows burst out with a mighty speech.

Lu Fei didn't know how to deal with this aggressive gaze for a while, but at this moment, the guards beside the emperor shouted: "Bold, you dare to look directly at the sky!" Don't kneel yet! ”

Lu Fei's face twitched helplessly a few times, and he hurriedly lowered his head, mother, I can give my life inexplicably when I look at the emperor.

"Let's all go down." Zhao Jiong didn't care about Lu Fei's presumptuousness, the general, he liked it more, it can be seen that this kind of person has no careful thoughts.

All the attendants retreated one by one, and the empty hall gave Lu Fei invisible pressure, I really don't know why the emperor likes to live in these big houses, can he sleep.

"Lu Fei!" Zhao Jiong bypassed the dragon book case and walked towards Lu Fei with his hands behind his back.

"The minister is here!" Lu Fei stood with his hands over, this time he learned to be obedient, his eyes and nose and his nose and heart, staring at the vague shadow of the emperor on the floor.

Zhao Jiong paced slowly in front of Lu Fei, and after a while, he said slowly: "Do you know what I called you to do?" ”

"I don't know!" In front of the emperor, try to talk as little as possible, I will answer what you ask, absolutely don't want to show off your talent in front of the emperor, you are talented, the emperor killed you, no talent, the emperor will kill you, this is not the era of the Han and Tang dynasties, this is the Son of Heaven who was killed from the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and any wind and grass will attract the suspicion of the emperor, especially the generals.

Zhao Jiong said: "I heard that as soon as you returned to Beijing, you had a big mansion, and the water pavilion in it was very gorgeous, right?" ”

Lu Fei's heart tightened, what's the matter, didn't he ask about Liaoguo, how could he ask about private matters, and it was such a sensitive matter, the house was given by Dane, and he just wanted to give Heiyun and Qiao Niang a place to live, so he had no choice but to move in directly, and he didn't have time to think about the consequences of doing so.

Lu Fei said: "The official family has no details, and there is a house in Tianbo Bridge." ”

Zhao Jiong's expression was completely blank, and he half-squinted and said, "Was it given to you by Dane?" ”

Lu Fei swallowed his saliva, this emperor is too direct, do you have anything that you don't know, so that Lao Tzu doesn't know what to hide, or there is no need to hide it at all, I am afraid that the secret agents of the Imperial City Division have already found out these things, and a person who was a prodigal son on the street a few months ago suddenly lived in such a house, where to find a reasonable source of income.

"Back to the official's house, yes."

Zhao Jiong snorted and said, "How did Dane die, do you know?" ”

Lu Fei was uneasy in his heart, going around was still a matter of Dane, couldn't this matter be overturned.

"The official family has already passed the decree, and everyone in the government and the opposition knows that Dai Dashuai died on the front line."

"Hmph, you went to the Dai family yesterday to pay respects?"

"Yes!"

"Why go?"

"The minister used to be Dai Dashuai's general, and he killed the enemy side by side on the battlefield, in public and private, the minister can't think of any reason not to go, if the official thinks that the minister should not go, the minister is willing to accept the crime." Lu Fei deliberately said this sincerely, since Lu Fei went to Dai's house that day, Wang Jien was ordered to go, and then all afternoon Dane was in the city, and all the officials with heads and faces went, maybe Zhao Jiong was very satisfied with this result.

Zhao Jiong laughed and said, "Well, neither humble nor arrogant, like a general, it seems that Dane is not wrong about you." ”

Lu Fei is more and more empty, this emperor knows everything, he must have guessed what Dane would give to his house, but why didn't he kill me?

Zhao Jiong groaned: "Where is Lu Aiqing's ancestral hometown? ”

"The minister is ashamed, he didn't know his parents since he was a child, he was floating around, he came to Bianliang last year, it was General Dai who took in his subordinates, and the official family did not abandon him, so that the ministers had the opportunity to serve the court, and the ministers knocked on the emperor's grace!"

Lu Fei was about to give a big gift, but he heard Zhao Jiong snort there, and his voice was slightly dissatisfied: "Emperor's grace? Wrong, kindness or unkindness is not something you should consider, you just need to do your duty as a courtier, and if I am not kind to you, you will not be loyal? ”

Lu Fei secretly scolded:, it's wrong for Lao Tzu to slap your ass.

"Don't dare!"

Zhao Jiong said again: "Don't be afraid, since I have reused it, I believe in your ability, Wu Zhoucheng fought a battle, and without extraordinary determination and courage, you can't do such feats." ”

Lu Fei secretly scolded: Damn, turn out Lao Tzu's old bottom, what do you want to do, if you want to kill or chop, you can't have a good time.

Lu Fei said carefully: "The official family has a good reputation, and the minister is also under the military order of Li Du's envoy, and he arrived at the city of Wuzhou by mistake, and he never expected to lead to the Song-Liao border. ”

Zhao Jiong laughed: "Who said that you are guilty, Yanmen Guan Yang Yanzhao has already told me that the Liao people have hoarded a large number of military supplies in Wuzhou City for the purpose of going south, you make such a fuss, it will disrupt the arrogance of the Liao people, what is the crime, I don't ask you about the entanglement with Dane, nor do I ask you about the ins and outs of Wuzhou City, just tell you one word, Dane is dead!" ”

This sentence really shocked Lu Fei into a cold sweat, needless to say, the emperor must have cleared the door of the he conspired with Dane, and there may be many reasons not to kill himself, but it will not be because he can fight well, and he can be everywhere in the world.

"The ministers obey the holy will and are loyal to the court."

Zhao Jiong was very satisfied with Lu Fei's answer and expression, and said with a smile: "Lu Aiqing, do you know where the wall of this Jiying Hall is?" ”

Lu Fei didn't even know how many gates there were in this palace, so he said, "I don't know!" ”

Zhao Jiong said: "It's Yanfu Palace, do you know who lives in Yanfu Palace?" ”

Lu Fei still didn't know, "I don't know!" "It's best to know nothing in front of the emperor, especially the pattern in the palace.

Zhao Jiong said: "There are hundreds of concubines of the previous dynasty living there, five dynasties and ten kingdoms, Liang, Tang, Jin, Han and Zhou, no matter how the world changes, the situation of these women will never change, they are left to fend for themselves, some are already old, some are in their youth, it is impossible to come out of there in this life, listen to the attendants there, some of these women are crazy, some are stupid, some are self-destructive, some eat fasting and chant Buddha all day long, pray that I can see them, but I won't go, do you know why I don't go?" ”

Lu Fei immediately understood, but he still said carefully: "I don't know!" ”

Zhao Jiong snorted and laughed: "Because they are not my women!" ”

Lu Fei shouted in his heart: Emperor, don't think about it, Lao Tzu is your person, he must be your person, and he has nothing to do with Dane anymore.

Zhao Jiong said again: "Yanfu Palace, the lights are lonely, as soon as you enter this door, there will be no day to see the sky, do you think they will resent me?" ”

Lu Fei immediately said: "I don't know! ”

I don't know if it's the best thing for the monarch and the ministers, no matter how smart you are, do you dare to be better than the emperor.

Zhao Jiong was really satisfied: "Well, I ask you again, the envoy of the Liao State is arguing with the two rulers in the Qinzheng Palace, do you think there will be a big war between Song and Liao because of the matter of Wu Zhoucheng?" ”

Lu Fei can't say that he doesn't know about this kind of thing, even if he really doesn't know, he has to talk nonsense.

Lu Fei said: "Yes or no, whether to fight or not to fight is decided by the official family." ”

Zhao Jiong was quite satisfied, smiled and nodded: "Then do you think the Liaoguo Iron Cavalry will suddenly go south?" ”

Lu Fei didn't think about it, and said, "No." ”

"How can you be so sure?"

Lu Fei arched his hand and said: "If the Liao army wants to go south, this time it will not be the envoy who will come to Bianliang, but the million iron cavalry of the Liao army." ”

Zhao Jiong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Yes, Dane really didn't see the wrong person, the new monarch of the Liao State succeeded to the throne, and the lord Shaoguo was suspicious, so the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State didn't want to invade the south, she didn't dare to act rashly, if she couldn't succeed in the first battle, what face would she have to stand on the court of the Liao State again." ”

Lu Fei hurriedly patted his ass and said, "The official family is Shengming! Wechen didn't expect so much. ”

Zhao Jiong nodded and smiled: "Lu Aiqing, I know that you are from Baiding, you have no experience as an official, step by step to today, you are really a blessed general, okay, step back, I will call you again when I have time." ”

Exiting the Jiying Palace, Lu Fei was relieved, just out of the palace, but saw Wang Jien leading two young and beautiful palace maids over, after a while, it turned out that these two women came out of the Teaching Workshop Division, saying that it was given to Lu Fei by the official family, Lu Fei knew that these were two careful but had to accept it.

Descending the steps, it just so happened that Li Jilong, the commander of the Japanese army, was kneeling under the steps and waiting for the Hou to summon him, Lu Fei stepped forward and saluted, and then led the two female spies to walk outside the palace by the inner attendants, don't look at yourself entering the palace, without the inner attendant leading, it is impossible for any foreign minister to walk in the palace at will.

As soon as they turned to the side of the Qinzheng Palace, it was the narrow road of the enemy, Cao Bin and Xue Juzheng also came out of the palace, looking at the direction they went, it was likely that they were going to Jiying Hall to face the king.

Seeing this, Lu Fei hurriedly lowered his head and stood on one side, waiting for the two of them to walk past him.

Looking at Lu Fei's back, Cao Bin, who had already walked far away, looked back with a strange look, and Xue Juzheng on the side said, "Too comforting to know this person?" ”

Cao Bin frowned and asked the attendant next to him, "Who is this person?" ”

The chamberlain said carefully: "Hui Taiwei, it is the new Xingzhou Jiedu, a general of the Japanese army, who has just been called, called Lu Fei!" ”

"Lu Fei?" Cao Bin was very unfamiliar with this name, but he seemed familiar with this face, and said thoughtfully: "How does the old man feel that this person has seen it somewhere." ”

Xue Juzheng twisted his beard and said: "This is very strange, your old lady has been comforting the army for many years, how can you not know the people in front of the palace." ”

Cao Bin shook his head, "No, no, this person has never been seen in the front of the palace, but where it is, the old man can't remember it for a while." ”

Xue Juzheng said with a smile: "A young general who holds the Japanese army, you are still so comforted, you have seen it, you have seen it, let's go, the official family is still waiting!" ”

Cao Bin continued to walk, and from time to time he looked back at Lu Fei's back as he walked farther and farther away, he must not have imagined that this person was Li Tang Thirteen Wei who escaped from him two years ago, the fish that slipped through the net and made him humiliated.

Until the end of the discussion in front of the king, Cao Bin was still thinking about it, and he was still haunted when he returned to the Privy Council, he thought that this person was the fugitive back then, but he couldn't believe it, if it was true, this person's courage was too big.

After thinking about it, Cao Bin suddenly called the messenger outside the door.

"It's so comforting, what do you command?"

Cao Bin said: "When I conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty, how many soldiers who fought with my husband in Jiangling City served in the army of Bianliang City? ”

How did the errand officer know this, he was stunned in a daze.

Cao Bin said again: "Forget it, you go and find out who else there are, no matter how many they are, they will be found by the old man." ”

"No!"

Cao Bin may be old and may recognize the wrong person, but if the old brothers back then can identify it, then today's Lu Fei is the fugitive back then.

Cao Bin was so careful, just because Lu Fei had just been praised by the emperor today, and he didn't dare to mess around without real evidence. (To be continued.) )
