No. 124 Leisurely work
After releasing the impulse, Chen Yuanzhen felt a lot better, and he didn't have time to enjoy too much warmth, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and prepared to enter the palace to accompany the son of the emperor of Liao to study.
The efficiency of the Liao Imperial Palace is still quite high, saying that after lunch, someone was sent to pick up Chen Yuan into the palace, just after this time, a small sedan chair stopped at the door of the "first one", and the eunuch who was responsible for checking the body stepped into the gate with a high spirit: "Where is Chen Shimei?" ”
Chen Yuan hurriedly came out of the room: "Father-in-law, the villain is here." ”
The eunuch glanced at him and said with a smile, "Let's go?" ”
Chen Yuan responded: "Alas. ”
I don't know why, Chen Yuan deliberately glanced at the middle finger of his left hand again, which was no different from ordinary people's fingers, but in Chen Yuan's eyes, it was always very uncomfortable.
The father-in-law didn't know Chen Yuan's fear of his finger, and hugged his fists: "My surname is Liang is the head of the affairs of the East Palace, and in the future, we will inevitably interact with each other, and we will have to move around more." ”
Chen Yuan said respectfully: "Where is it, if there is time, the villain will definitely go to visit the chief manager, if there is anything improper in the palace, I hope that my father-in-law will take care of it." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and waved his hand, and Pang Xi hurriedly took out a five-tael gold bar, Chen Yuan took it, and handed it to the manager of Na Liang: "Be careful, please also ask the manager to smile and accept it, and the villain will give you tea." ”
Manager Liang's eyes lit up immediately, and he smiled: "The future is immeasurable!" The future is limitless! ”
Chen Yuan didn't care if the future was immeasurable, because he didn't plan to look for his future here at all. However, there was no white flower on that gold bar, and along the way, Manager Liang introduced many things to him, including some rules in the palace.
At this time, in the palace of Liaoguo, it is relatively simple, and there are no torture rules such as you must lower your head and how big your steps must be when you take a few steps, but you must not go to some places where you can't go. Some things that cannot be done are also things that must not be done.
After Mr. Liang finished talking about the rules, he asked Chen Yuan: "Is there anything else you don't understand?" ”
Chen Yuan thought for a moment, and then asked, "Dare to ask the manager, can you reveal a little, what is the surname of the little prince?" ”
Manager Liang glanced at Chen Yuan appreciatively: "Well, yes, no wonder you are the only one who has passed the fastest, and the other three are still being assessed." The princess's vision is indeed not bad. Let me tell you, your accompanying reading is actually a very leisurely errand, and now the entire court knows that the emperor is trying to find a way to make the ninth prince the crown prince, and the little prince is indeed not a reading material. After that, although there are no big officials to do, they are always luckier than the Song people outside. ”
Chen Yuan thanked him: "Thank you for your advice." ”
Manager Liang then said that Yelu Hongji's surname: "If you want to say that this little prince is also a good person, but he is too unassertive. Moreover, it is really a bit depressing to watch. The person who taught him this afternoon was the eighth elder of Yelu Hanba, who can be regarded as a talented scholar of our Liao Kingdom, so when you meet the boss, you should be polite. ”
Yelu Hanba is fifty and three this year, and in this era, he can be classified among the elderly. He was the previous king of the Southern Courtyard, and the current emperor still got his support to ascend to the throne.
Therefore, Liao Xingzong respected him very much and handed over his son to Yelu Hanba to discipline.
It's a pity that Yelu Hanba himself is very knowledgeable, but he doesn't have much patience to teach people, especially after a few years, when Yelu Hongji has completely disappointed him, coming to class has become the last thing he wants to do.
Even if others know that they can't teach this stupid little prince in class, at least they are perfunctory on face, and at least they read a few ancient precepts of the Han people aloud, even if they read them to themselves.
But Yelu Hanba completely ignored this, and what Chen Yuan saw when he entered the door was that Yelu Hongji was sitting on a chair in a daze, looking at the empty sky outside, his eyes glazed.
And Yelu Hanba put the book at his feet, leaned back in the chair, and snorted to the sky.
That Liang Gonggong obviously didn't dare to say anything to Yelu Hanba, so he let Chen Yuan stand at the door, ran to him in small steps, and called softly: "Old prince, old prince!" ”
Yelu Hanba woke up suddenly, and turned his head around to look: "Huh? Oh! Got out of class? Let's get out of class, where's my book? ”
Manager Liang bent down and took a step back: "The old prince misunderstood, it's still early at this hour, but the person who accompanied the reading came." ”
Yelu Hanba only woke up completely at this time, sat up straight, and looked at Chen Yuan standing at the door: "Is that him?" ”
Chen Yuan clasped his fists and saluted: "The villain Chen Shimei has seen the prince." ”
Yelu Hanba glanced at Chen Yuan up and down, and then frowned: "Okay, everyone who comes is the same, I heard that it was still selected, according to my meaning, as long as you can recognize the words." ”
Manager Liang smiled awkwardly and retired.
Chen Yuan noticed that from the time he appeared at the door until Yelu Hanba said this, Yelu Hongji's eyes always looked at the sky outside, as if all this around him had nothing to do with him.
Yelu Hanba closed the book again: "Come on, come on, go down and sit down, and study with the prince." ”
Chen Yuan answered, turned around and walked to the seat prepared for him. His place was behind Nayelu Hongji, and the books were already laid out for him, the Analects.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, due to the success of the first prime minister Zhao Pu's "half of the Analects to rule the world", the status of this book has been unprecedentedly improved. Not only is it a compulsory subject for the Song Dynasty scientific examination, but also in the Liao Kingdom, it is also studied and studied by many people.
Chen Yuan picked up the Analects: "May I ask the prince, where have you learned?" ”
Yelu Hanba put down the book in his hand, and then closed his eyes again: "You just turn the page and read it, be quiet, don't disturb me to sleep." ”
Chen Yuan was stunned by what he said, is this how he accompanies him?
He was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but there was a maturity in his eyes, a maturity that ignored everything, and it seemed that all that attracted him was the blue sky in the sky.
The eunuch was right, this was a very boring child. Don't talk, don't laugh.
When Chen Yuan was stunned, Yelu Hanba suddenly said, "What? You're here to be stunned too? It's okay for the two of us to be silent, but when you're here, you have to have some noise, right? Read! ”
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly, turned the first page, and began to read.
Yelu Hanba was satisfied: "Well, it's finally a little vocal, the voice is a little quieter, it's better than arguing for me to sleep, don't disturb him in a daze." ”
This errand is really a bit difficult, and it can't be done if it's not loud, and it's not okay if it's loud. Fortunately, Chen Yuan is sophisticated and can still grasp the measure. Under the relaxed recitation, Yelu Hanba fell asleep again satisfied, and Yelu Hongji also seemed not to care, and continued to be in a daze.
Pang Xi is the same now, not only has to do enough assassination scenes, but he can't really kill Song Qi, fortunately, he is a master, if there are no special circumstances, he believes that he can completely control this operation.
This is a crossroads, and if Song Qi wants to come back, he must pass through here. After Pang Xi waited for another half an hour in a private house, he saw Song Qi's sedan chair come back in a flash.
There were only six guards and four palanquins. The guards are swordsmen, although the Liao people have very strict restrictions on weapons, but after all, the safety of the envoys is much more important than public security cases, so every time Song Qi goes to the street, he can receive a small number of weapons.
This doesn't mean that Pang Xi can't get weapons, no matter where you are, as long as you have money, you can always buy what you want. Pang Xi bought a Pu knife with ten taels of gold, which can be described as a sky-high price.
Pang Xi secretly said in his heart, although he couldn't kill Song Qi, in order to make the scene more realistic, it was better to kill a few people, even if these guards and sedan chairmen were unlucky today.
After making a decision, Pang Xi immediately wrapped his face in a black scarf, revealing only a pair of eyes, and when Song Qi's sedan chair took a few steps ahead and came to the bottom of the private house where he was hiding, an accident happened.
One of the six guards was walking around when he suddenly waved his hand, and the sedan chair immediately stopped, and the other five guards hurriedly drew their knives and stood in front of the sedan chair in a row.
Pang Xi was shocked when he saw it: "Won't it?" Being discovered by the other party so far away? Could it be that there is such a master among the guards? If that's the case, he thinks he probably won't have a chance today.
He stared at the guard who was giving warning, only to see that the man turned around twice, and then really focused his eyes on the house where Pang Xi was.
Pang Xi was just taken aback just now, but now he is really scared! No way! There can be no such master!
Regardless of him, Pang Xi decided to give it a try.
The guard was carrying a knife and pressed towards him step by step, and Pang Xi suddenly jumped down from the roof and shouted: "Ah! Then he threw a punch on the top of the guard's head.
If it was someone else, Pang Xi's angry shout was enough to scare the other party, and then punched it down, ensuring that he could get a ball of brains out.
But this time Pang Xi's shouting had no effect at all, and the knife in the other party's hand slashed over like lightning.
In order to hide his identity, Pang Xi didn't dare to rely on his copper skin to block the knife, and also pulled out a Pu knife from behind, "Dang!" With a crisp sound, Pang Xi's whole person turned over twice in the air, and after landing on the ground, he took three steps back in a row, and did not stabilize his figure until he hit the wall.
As far as the eye could see, the guard was slashed more than a foot away by his knife, and the whole person fell to the ground at once, and a mouthful of blood spat out of the guard's mouth.
Pang Xi looked at that face and was immediately relieved: "It turned out to be him!" ”
