Chapter 375: Troubles (I)

After a night of false alarm, the people of the Song Dynasty scolded their mothers, grandma is a bear, and Liao Dog is so famous!

In any case, leaving Xiongzhou as soon as possible is the right thing to do, the more they go to the mainland, the more these Liao people can't play tricksโ‰ฎ Regardless of the sleepless night, Chen Ke urged the Liao envoy to set off, and his attitude was very unpolite. Lu Gongzhu and others thought that his anger was rising due to lack of sleep, and they were afraid that the Liao people would also have a bullish temper. Who knew that the temper of the Liao people was very good, and they didn't say a word, so they set off obediently.

On the way to Bianjing, the Liao Dynasty mission has always maintained a respectful attitude towards the people of the Song Dynasty, not only to Chen Ke, but even to Lu Gongshu and even Zeng Bu.

This made Lu Gongzhu and Zeng Bu secretly mutter, the envoys of the Liao Dynasty who had seen before, even when they met the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, were arrogant and arrogant, why were they so honest this time, as if they were full of weakness......

When they asked this question, Chen Ke smiled and said, "Aren't the Liao people very well-behaved?" So what you want to do and what you say, you have to let go, don't be cowardly, it's not necessary at all. โ€

Doesn't this imply that they asked for bribes from the Liao envoys? The two of them swallowed and foamed: "If you are not sure, how dare you ask for it?" โ€

"No, it has to be." Chen Ke said: "If you don't accept their benefits, how can they rest assured?" โ€

"What kind of medicine is sold in the Liaoren gourd?" The two frowned.

"Don't care what kind of medicine, let them obediently go to Bianjing to talk about it." Chen Ke seemed to have guessed it, but he didn't plan to tell the two, but said meaningfully: "Just listen to my orders." โ€

"Okay." Both are smart people. Hearing Chen Ke say this, he knew that there were some things that he didn't have to know.

With Chen Ke's approval, Lu Gongshu and Zeng Bu became frank and friendly, and the two Liao envoys also met each other, and they arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion with harmony and happiness along the way. Chen Ke told Yelu Yixin that he could rest here for two days and move freely.

Yelu Yixin didn't want to delay for a day, but he didn't dare not listen to Chen Ke's words, so he had to rest patiently for two days. The first day. The Liao people all nested in the post house and did not go out, which made the Song people very strange. This famous mansion is the Great Song Dynasty Beijing, which is more prosperous than any city in the Liao Kingdom, isn't it the most attractive to the Liao people?

It wasn't until the evening of the next day that Yelu Yixin finally showed mercy and allowed his subordinates to go out for a stroll in the streets.

However, this time, the Khitans changed their arrogance. He became very honest and paid for his purchases. When drinking, Si Swenwen will not make a loud noise when he walks on the road, which shocks the jaw of the daimyo's mansion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At night, the bright moon hangs high, and the Daimyo's mansion is still full of people and bright lights. Although the night market of the Daimyo Mansion is not as good as Bianjing, it can also open the eyes of the Khitan people who have just arrived in your realm.

"The scenery of the Southern Dynasty is really unusual!" Looking at the bustling night market, he couldn't help but sigh. Tasted a bite of sand sugar ice and snow cold meatballs, and praised again: "It's delicious and delicious, even the food on this kind of stall." It's all better than me......"

"Ahem...... Yelu Yixin, who was wearing a civilian robe beside him, coughed again and again, and hurriedly changed his words: "It's all better than what Zhao Wangfu makes." โ€

Yelu Yixin couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said to himself, Is this what your little guard should say?

Although nominally, Cha Thorn is his bodyguard, and he came out to protect the safety of the prince, no matter how you look at it, it should be the other way around. The dignified Prince Liao followed his guards step by step. The guards took a fancy to something, so they hurriedly bought it, and whatever the guards wanted to eat, they hurriedly served it. It looks very funny.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the street, and a tall horse was galloping wildly, followed by a panicked man, shouting: "Get out of the way, startle the horse!" โ€

The crowd hurriedly flashed to both sides of the road, only to see that the black horse was like lightning, and rushed to the front of Yelu Yixin and his party.

Nacha was dealing with a string of roasted pork with relish, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, he didn't even have the interest to look up.

Without thinking about it, Yelu Yixin stood in front of him, and seeing that the distance between the men and horses was less than a zhang, the black horse suddenly lost its front hooves, and fell down in front of Yelu Yixin, struggling to stand up, but he was pressed against the horse's head with a palm and pressed to the ground.

At this time, the frightened people saw that there were two Liao people who blocked the black horse with a tripping horse in advance......

The owner of the horse caught up at this time, and when he saw that he had collided with the Liao, he apologized without a word, and had to pay for compensation.

The heart of the street was soon filled with crowds again, and the thrilling scene of Fang Cai, like a ripple disappearing, was deeply imprinted in someone's heart.

On the restaurant facing the street, Chen Ke, who was also dressed in a casual robe, stood by the railing with a wine glass, he stared closely at the back of the beard, but the figure of Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liao, appeared in his mind, and the two figures gradually became one, and they were all together!

After leaving the Daimyo's Mansion, the team traveled all the way to the boundary of Kaifeng, and they could enter Beijing tomorrow.

Chen Ke settled the Liao envoy there, but his chief guard, Chen Zhong, mounted a fast horse and galloped on the way to Bianjing, without stopping, and finally entered the city before the city gate was closed.

Entering the city, Chen Zhong galloped straight to the palace of the king of Qi, and when he arrived at the door, a good horse was already tired and paralyzed.

At this moment, the lights were on, the gate of the Qi Palace's mansion was closed, and Chen Zhong couldn't take care of it, so he slammed the door and opened it.

"Who is so bold?" The guard in the door said angrily.

"He Laosan, I'm Chen Zhong!"

"Ah, Xiao Chen?!" When the guards heard this, they hurriedly ordered someone to open the heavy door of the mansion, and saw Chen Zhong standing at the door, and hurriedly said, "Come in!" โ€

"I brought a message from the bachelor to see the prince." Chen Zhong walked inside and asked, "Is the prince here?" โ€

"Coincidentally, I went home for dinner for the first time in three days." He Laosan smiled proudly: "The official family is now inseparable from the prince for a moment. โ€

He Laosan asked him to sit in the flower hall, and then communicated to the eunuch in charge, and when the eunuch heard that Chen Ke had sent him, he hurried to the dining room to report.

After tea, Zhao Shu, who was dressed in civilian clothes, came out and asked, "What happened?" He waved his hand and stepped back from the left and right.

Chen Zhong said softly: "Lord Wang, my family has reported that the Lord of Liao is likely to be ...... in the mission."

"Lord Liao......" Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said, "You said that Yelu Hongji is in the birthday mission?" โ€

"Hmm." Chen Zhong said: "That's what my bachelor said. โ€

"How is that possible?" Zhao Shu didn't believe it at first, but how could Chen Ke lie to himself? He immediately frowned and said, "This is too, it's too bizarre, isn't it?" โ€

"The bachelor also thinks it's too bizarre. In fact, when he was in Xiongzhou, he basically guessed it, but it was unbelievable, and second, he was afraid of startling the snake, so he didn't report it immediately. Chen Zhong said softly: "When passing through the Daimyo's Mansion, he deliberately announced a two-day rest to allow the Liao envoy to move freely in the city......"

After listening to Chen Zhong's report, Zhao Zhen was sure that no matter what Yelu Hongji thought, he was indeed here, and he would be in Beijing tomorrow!

After thinking about it for a while, he asked Chen Zhong to take him down for dinner, and he changed his court clothes and ordered someone to prepare a car to enter the palace.

"Lord, the palace gate has been locked for a long time......," Huang Cheng, the eunuch who accompanied him, reminded.

"Just call it away." Zhao Shu said without thinking.

"Ah......" Huang Cheng was stunned: "The gates of the imperial city must be closed as soon as it gets dark, and they must not be opened before sunrise, this is an iron law." โ€

"There must be exceptions to everything." Zhao Shu said lightly.

"If there is really something important, those who must open the palace gate at night should have an ink fish talisman." Huang Cheng whispered: "And from the general of the prison gate to the below, the relevant gatekeepers must repeat the pavilion after reading, and get the royal approval of the official family before they can invite the guards in charge of the palace door key to come and open the door." โ€

"Just do it." Zhao Shu sat in the car and slowly closed his eyes.

"Yes......" Huang Cheng didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly went to the Xuande Gate and passed it to the eunuch guarding the door inside.

If ordinary people come to knock, the eunuch guarding the door will definitely scold back, but who is His Royal Highness King Qi? The future prince who knows everyone in the palace! How dare the eunuch who guards the door neglect?

Of course, with the lesson of the princess of the previous princess, where did the eunuch dare to open the door privately, and hurriedly went in layer by layer.

Zhao Shu waited outside the palace gate for more than half an hour, and the corresponding opening procedures were completed one after another, and Marshal Di Qingdi, who knew the imperial city, personally held a string of copper fish talismans and opened layers of palace doors for Zhao Shu...... Each bronze fish talisman is engraved with the name of the palace gate, which is divided into two left and right, and the guards of each gate hold half of it, and Di Qing holds the other half.

When the door was opened, there were two teams of forbidden troops inside and outside the city gate, holding torches, shining as bright as a white background, Di Qing and the eunuch guarding the door carefully checked the fish talisman to ensure that it was correct before the door could be opened, so it was opened layer by layer, and it took half an hour for the Xuande Gate to finally open slowly.

Looking at the slowly opening palace gate, a smile hung on the corner of Zhao Shu's mouth, he and Chen Ke already had the same mind, and many things did not need to be explained to understand the other party's intentions. In fact, Chen Ke could have passed the news earlier, so he didn't have to be so excited.

But what is needed is this kind of rejuvenation and mobilization, that is, to let the officials of the government and the opposition know that the officials can open the palace gate without asking for any reason, and the trust between the father and son of King Qi has reached!

This is completely different from the princess of the kingdom of Gon, because in the eyes of the scholars, no matter what a woman has to do, it is a private matter. Violating the palace ban for private matters is naturally a big problem. And His Royal Highness King Qi is for military affairs, which are completely different things.

Di Qing appeared in front of Zhao Shu with a serious face, and said sideways: "Lord Wang, please hurry up and enter the palace, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time." โ€

"Yes," Zhao Shu nodded, sat down and said, "I'm tired of the marshal." โ€
