Chapter 457: The Queen Mother is ill
As the empress dowager of Da Liao and the biological mother of the emperor of Liao, Xiao Tzuli's life is still full of comfort. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info When Yeluliang asked to see her, she really lived in the gallop and played polo. The palace of Liao is not as small as Dashun, and it is called taking care of the people, and the palace is small and exquisite. The imperial palace of the Liao State is spacious and tight, and the name may carry "courtyard", which is actually larger than a hall of the Dashun Imperial Palace.
Before the establishment of the Khitan people, the saddle horse was their home, and everyone could ride the horse, even the concubines of the past dynasties. As the eldest daughter of Xiao Xiaomu, the former privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, Xiao Tzuli also knows how to shoot arrows and horses, hunt in the military, and do not lose to men. Even if you are getting older, you still like to ride horses. I heard that this polo came from the Central Plains, and the Han people in the Central Plains called it a bow, and Xiao Tzuli fell in love with it at first sight. I never get tired of it, and even formed a polo team, and galloped and hit the ball with them in the courtyard every day.
Just hit the goal, Xiao Tart's face was already a little wrinkled, and he smiled happily. At this time, the palace maid reported that the Southern Court knew that the Dunmu Palace made Yeluliang ask to see him. Xiao Tzuli got off the horse when he heard this, and after handing the cane to the palace maid, he said curiously: "Why is Yeluliang here, is there something wrong in the court today?" ”
The palace maid didn't dare to answer, Xiao Tzuli, as a generation of virtuous queens, has a very sensitive sense of political smell, and has gradually sniffed out something wrong. As the envoy of the Dunmu Palace given by the first emperor, and the power to know the affairs of the Empress Dowager's palace, even Yelu Hongji could not remove his official position. As long as Yeluliang himself is not stupid, it is absolutely no problem to spend his life smoothly.
Xiao Tzuli also understood that once Yeluliang entered the palace to do something, something big must have happened. didn't think much about it immediately, and immediately said, "Call him in!" ”
After taking the handkerchief handed by the palace maid and gently wiping the sweat off his face, Yeluliang came in.
"Dunmu Palace Envoy, it's rare for you to come to me this time, come here today, is there anything important to do?" Xiao Tzu didn't smile, stared at Yeluliang and asked.
Yeluliang looked at the palace maids and chamberlains around Xiao Tzuli in embarrassment, Xiao Tzuli's heart was like a mirror, and he naturally understood what he meant: "You all go down first!" ”
"Yes, Queen Mother."
After the palace maid and the chamberlain retreated, Xiao Tzuli picked up the tea with goat's milk, took a sip, and then said, "Yeluliang, now you can say it, right?" ”
Yeluliang immediately knelt down and said: "This morning, Your Majesty heard the rumors of the people in Beijing and wanted to hunt the white tiger in Taizi Mountain......
"Oh?" Xiao Tzu was a little surprised, "This is a good thing, why is the Dunmu Palace so panicked?" ”
Yeluliang said: "It's strange that this matter was raised by Yelu Yixin, the same acquaintance of the North Court, and the imperial uncle actually asked His Majesty to put state affairs first and oppose His Majesty's hunting. ”
Xiao Tzuli also felt normal: "What's wrong? The North Court has always had a discord with the imperial uncle, who doesn't know about this matter? ”
Yeluliang also knew that this alone would not convince Xiao Tzuli. He didn't lie, so he explained exactly what Queen Xiao Guanyin said to him. Hearing such words, Xiao Tzuli also became nervous: "I didn't expect that the imperial uncle would be so ruthless and want to put my son to death!" ”
Yeluliang knelt down and said: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty favors the imperial uncle and does not dare to play it, so he can only secretly speak to the Queen Mother." In today's world, only the Queen Mother can persuade Her Majesty to change her mind. The minister Yeluliang is loyal to Daliao, the sun and the moon can be seen, please see the queen mother! ”
Xiao Tzuli was a very decisive figure, and immediately said: "If it is really as Xiao Hu Du said, Your Majesty's trip will definitely be more auspicious." As the queen mother, how can the mourning family sit idly by? You wait here, and I will let Your Majesty come here!" ”
After that, Xiao Tzuli called a palace maid in a loud voice and said, "You go to the palace to find Your Majesty, and say that I was infected with the wind and cold because of playing polo yesterday." ”
The palace maid took the order and left, and Yeluliang stood silently and stood aside, no longer squeaking. Xiao Tzuli said: "If it is an ordinary thing, Your Majesty may not come so quickly. With his temperament, he was in a hurry, maybe later, he led the troops to Taizi Mountain. ”
Yeluliang lowered his head and smiled: "Your Majesty has such filial piety, which is very rare. ”
The two of them said something inconsequential, and within a quarter of an hour, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the palace. The Liao Imperial Palace can run horses, but except for the Emperor of Liao and the Queen Mother of Liao, no one else has this honor. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the two people in the palace knew that it was Yelu Hongji who had arrived.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
After Yelu Hongji rushed into the palace, he found that Xiao Tzuli and Yelu Liang were talking and laughing happily, not looking like they were infected with disease. He was confused for a while, and turned to angrily reprimand Yeluliang: "Tongzhi of the Southern Courtyard, you are so bold!" ”
Xiao Tzuli hurriedly said: "Don't blame him, I ordered him so." ”
Yelu Hongji said with tears and laughter: "Niangniang, there are a lot of things in my country, why do you still make such jokes? ”
"There are a lot of state affairs, why do you want to leave it behind and go hunting?" It is said that Zhizi Mo Ruomu, Yelu Hongji cocked his tail, and Xiao Tart knew what kind of scheming he was going to play.
Yelu Hongji stared at Yelu Liang fiercely, and then said: "Niangniang, I am not going to hunt here, but for my Da Liao." Do you know that there is a ...... in Taizi Mountain?"
"There's a white tiger, right? I said, you're in your thirties, why are you still thinking so simply? In my Daliao territory, except for the east, where are there any big insects, let alone big insects that are covered in snow! Xiao Tzuli said mercilessly.
"But the rumors will not be groundless after all! The entire Linhuang Mansion knew about it, and even the big insect injured several Orions! The meaning of the white tiger, Niangniang must not know, right? I'll tell you ......"
Before Yelu Hongji finished speaking, Xiao Tzuli interrupted him and said coldly: "I don't know, but I know one thing, someone wants to use this matter to harm you and seek to usurp the throne!" ”
Yelu Hongji was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke: "Among the great Liao, there are still such ill-intentioned people?" I have millions of troops, who dares to be so self-conscious? ”
Xiao Tzuli looked at Yelu Hongji, who was so arrogant, angry and angry, and said: "Don't be too happy too early, although you have a million troops, you can divide 200,000 troops in the northwest to defend against the tribes, 100,000 troops in the southwest to defend against the Uighurs, 100,000 to defend against Dashun, and 100,000 to defend the Jurchens in the northeast. The palace tent army in Linhuang Mansion is only 300,000! Even if you add the guards and the pro-army, the royal tent is only 350,000. If people trick you into hunting, you will definitely not bring 350,000 troops with you, but only 10,000 people around you. At that time, people will gather 100,000 people to ambush you at the foot of Taizi Mountain, you ...... Can you still fly out of the palm of someone's hand? ”
Xiao Tzuli was so angry that he couldn't even finish his words, and Yelu Hongji also knew that she was right, but he still couldn't think of anyone who would be so bold, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is the person who wants to rebel?" (To be continued.) )
