Chapter 130: The Twenty Great Boards
But Yelu Shubao said loudly: "Your Majesty! He lied! That Qi Wen has been bought by us, how could he hurt the surname of the ninth prince? ”
Liao Xingzong looked at Chen Yuan: "Chen Shimei, how do you explain this?" ”
Chen Yuan was very simple: "This, this, I really don't know, Your Majesty, I wasn't too familiar with the Ninth Prince at that time, as for whether Song Qi abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, I really don't know." ”
Liao Xingzong smiled, he asked deliberately, if Chen Yuan explained this matter, it would be a matter of adding to the snake.
Yelu Ne, who was on the side, interrupted at this time: "Your Majesty, the last general really didn't know that Qi Wen was from the North Courtyard at that time, so there was this misunderstanding. It's just that I don't know Qi Wen, Shu Bao was in Wentong at the time, why did you watch that Qi Wen grab me and put the sword on my neck? ”
The corners of Yelu Shubao's mouth raised: "The ninth prince doesn't have to push it down, and don't think about diverting the topic, even if you didn't know that Qi Wen was my person at the time, why did you cooperate with those Song soldiers afterwards and let my three thousand soldiers die under Wen Tongcheng?" I am destined to come back today, and it is the blessing of those 3,000 heroic spirits that I will come back to seek justice for them! ”
Yelune sneered, "By the way, I'll get justice for those horse bandits, right?" Shu Bao, do you feel that the heroic spirits of the two thousand horse bandits are also following you? ”
Yelu Nee clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, when you say that there is a battle in the valley, the two thousand horse bandits are brought by Yelu Shubao!" Many of the princess's personal guards or Chen Shimei's men have seen him! At the border, he led people to murder me many times, and asked the emperor to administer justice for me! ”
Yelu Shubao did not back down: "Your Majesty, the last general has already put down his life and death when he comes back this time, that's right, I did chase and kill many times on the road, and the reason is just because the last general is sad and angry in his heart, and the three thousand soldiers die without turning a blind eye!" ”
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, many ministers on the side flashed out at the same time, and many voices said together: "Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music!" ”
"Pheas!" Liao Xingzong's hand slapped heavily on the dragon chair: "Okay, shut up for me!" What do you have to say, I know it very well in my heart! ”
After saying that, he walked down a few steps, and first walked in front of Yelu Renxian: "King of the North Courtyard, do you want to tell me that Yelu Neglu Tianliang is lost and should be killed?" ”
Yeluren immediately said: "The emperor is wise! ”
Liao Xingzong sneered, and walked in front of Yelu Chongyuan again: "Imperial brother, do you want to say that Yelu Shubao is ambitious and should be killed?" ”
Yelu Chongyuan lowered his head: "Everything is up to the emperor." ”
Liao Xingzong raised his head and laughed, and when he was laughing, a notice suddenly came from outside the door: "Party envoy Zhang Yuan, Wu Hao, outside the palace to ask to see His Majesty the Great Liao Emperor!" ”
Then another voice shouted: "Song Qi, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, ask to see His Majesty the Great Liao Emperor outside the palace!" ”
When Liao Xingzong heard this, he laughed again: "Haha, okay, let's come together?" Then let them come in with them! ”
As he spoke, he reflexively walked onto the dragon chair and waved his hand to the ministers: "Stand up, don't let outsiders see our jokes!" ”
As soon as these words came out, whether it was those who supported Yelu Chongyuan or those who supported Yelu Renxian, they all flashed back to the sides, and only Chen Yuan was left standing there in the middle, not knowing whether he should stand on the left or right, or whether he should go out directly.
Liao Xingzong glanced at Chen Yuan, and waved his hand to the left: "Chen Shimei, you step aside." ”
As soon as Chen Yuan retreated to the side and stood up, Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao walked in with two very bright faces that had been beaten, knelt down and kowtowed: "Zhang Yuan (Wu Hao), the minister of the lower state, knock to see His Majesty the Great Liao Emperor!" ”
On the side, Song Qi just hugged his fists and bent over: "I've seen His Majesty the Liao Emperor." ”
This is diplomatic relations, and it is clearly written in the covenant between the Liao State and the Song State that the status of the two countries is higher in the Song Dynasty. So Song Qi didn't have to kneel to see Liao Xingzong. This treatment is exchanged for countless annual coins.
And the party members are different, their Khitan State that is being planned can't even get the approval of the Liao State, so this "lower state" is barely enough.
The next thing was even more ridiculous than the case of Yelu Nie Gulu and Yelu Shubao, Song Qi sued the party for assassinating him, while Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao tried their best to defend themselves, and neither side could produce favorable evidence.
What made Liao Xingzong even more troublesome was that those officials who wanted to fight the Great Song Dynasty first stood up to support the party members, and those who wanted to destroy the party first stood up to support Song Qi.
In short, there was no noise in the morning, and one word was "messy", and two words were "messy." ”
There is no result, the meal still has to be eaten, and only when you are full of food and drink will you have the strength to continue the quarrel in the afternoon.
So, they went back to their own homes and looked for their mothers.
Of course, Chen Yuan was still about to go back to his inn, but as soon as he walked out of the court, he saw Yelu Hongji standing under a big tree in the distance, and greeted him again.
Chen Yuan hurriedly approached and asked, "Prince, is there something wrong?" ”
Yelu Hongji asked worriedly, "Why did my father come to you?" Did he find out about my fight yesterday? ”
Chen Yuan didn't answer this question, but smiled slightly: "Prince, are you afraid that the emperor will know what happened to you yesterday?" ”
Yelu Hongji nodded: "If my father knows that I went out to gamble and fought with people again, he would have to beat me!" ”
Chen Yuan nodded: "Prince, the emperor will definitely know about this matter, so let's teach you a way that you won't be punished, you take the initiative to admit your mistakes to the emperor, and you tell him everything that happened yesterday, I promise he won't scold you." ”
Yelu Hongji immediately shook his head: "No, that's me going to find a fight myself." ”
After speaking, he wanted to turn around and run away, but Chen Yuan grabbed him: "Prince, is it okay to listen to me?" Listen to me this time, if you are really afraid, I will go with you, if the emperor blames you, you will say that I instigated you to go out. ”
Yelu Hongji was still hesitating, and Chen Yuan said with a little intimidation: "If the emperor finds out and you explain again, then no one will be able to save you!" ”
Yelu Hongji took two deep breaths and grabbed Chen Yuan: "Okay, let's go to see my father together, and say okay, if he really blames, you can say that everything is your idea." ”
Chen Yuan nodded: "Well, don't worry." ”
Chen Yuan is now looking for an opportunity to get rid of this identity as an accompaniment, so he must seize everything possible to show his face in front of Liao Xingzong.
He knew that Yelu Hongji would not be in any danger this time, and such a fight was not a big mistake for a prince, at most it was a misconduct.
So Chen Yuan accompanied Yelu Hongji to go back again, this time going to Liao Xingzong's dormitory. At noon today, Liao Xingzong had dinner with his favorite concubine, and he didn't expect that this son, who had always avoided him for everything, would take the initiative to ask to see him.
When Chief Manager Liang reported to Liao Xingzong, he almost suspected that he had misheard, and it was not until Chief Manager Liang said it a second time before he said, "Let them in." ”
After Yelu Hongji saluted, he stood aside and did not dare to speak. Liao Xingzong's brows furrowed and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Chen Yuan smacked Yelu Hongji, and then he stepped forward in cringe and said, "Father, I, I'm here to admit my mistake." ”
Liao Xingzong's chopsticks paused in the air for a moment, and then put them down: "Say, what are you doing again?" ”
Yelu Hongji's chest rose and fell very much, obviously he needed to muster up the courage to say it, Liao Xingzong didn't urge him, just waited on the side, but the concubine said: "Yo, if the prince has something to say, say it quickly, the emperor is still waiting for dinner." ”
Yelu Hongji finally said: "I went out of the palace to the casino yesterday, in a casino called Fulilai, I took a few guards to fight with others, and injured more than 30 of them, please punish my father!" ”
After saying that, he fell to his knees.
Manager Liang on the side looked at Liao Xingzong coldly, the muscles on Liao Xingzong's face trembled twice, and then turned his head to look at Chen Yuan: "Chen Shimei, did you take Hong Ji there?" ”
Chen Yuan also knelt down: "Yes, it was the villain who took the prince out, and it was the villain's idea to go to the casino." ”
Liao Xingzong nodded: "Okay, Hong Ji, you get up." You shouldn't go to a casino, it's not a place like you should be. Come on, take Chen Shimei out and play 20 boards. ”
Chen Yuan was stunned when he heard this, but he could only say according to the rules: "Thank the emperor for his kindness!" But he secretly scolded in his heart: "Your grandmother's!" Teach your son that you will cut me down! ”
When Chen Yuan was dragged out, Yelu Hongji's mouth moved twice, trying to intercede for him, but in the end he didn't speak.
All the people in the entire "first house" didn't expect that Chen Yuan had been carrying back less than a day after he went to work, and the blood marks on his buttocks looked like they knew how hard he was beaten.
Hu Jing and the others hurriedly welcomed Chen Yuan into the room and helped him lie on the bed, and Amuda hurried to find Lang Zhong.
The guards who sent Chen Yuan back handed over a bottle of medicine: "Chen Shimei, this is the best gold sore medicine, don't move for a day after applying it, and you can get out of bed in a few days." ”
After Chen Yuan took it, the guards left, Hu Jing couldn't control his tears anymore, and said in a choked voice: "Why did you get like this?" It seems that this Liao official really can't be a servant, let's go. ”
That Pang Xi also stretched out his head to glance at Chen Yuan, and asked a pun: "Something's wrong?" ”
Chen Yuanchong smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, I brought it all on myself!" ”
Pang Xi asked again: "You don't have to run away, right?" ”
Chen Yuan looked at him: "You look down on me too much, run away?" I'm going to rent a house tomorrow, we're going to live in Yanjing for a while, and it's not okay to always live in an inn, the cost is too great. ”
As soon as Pang Xi heard him say this, he knew that Chen Yuan might find some opportunity, and he was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, I'll go to find a house in the afternoon." ”
Chen Yuan turned his head to look at Yang Wenguang again: "Xiaowen, we are going to live here, except for those guys who left dozens to help us receive the goods, we are going to pay them full wages and give them some travel expenses, so that they can go back." When the goods are all collected, we will decide what to do, I think, you take the guys back first, okay? ”
He wanted to throw Yang Wenguang, the uncle, back, but he couldn't use force. If he insists on driving him away, in case he doesn't go back when his mind is feverish, and he runs to another place, and he can't hand over people to Tianbo Mansion after he goes back, it will be troublesome.
Yang Wenguang nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll send them to Wentong and come back." ”
Chen Yuan looked at him helplessly: "Forget it, I'm more relieved that you still follow me." ”
At the same time, I secretly thought, since you don't want to leave, then I have to find something for you to do.
