Chapter 4: The Thrill of the Palace Banquet (2)

Xiao Siwen's eyes were slightly cold, and he sneered in his heart. Han Derang is deeply contemptuous at the moment, and he is also happy to recognize the mediocre emperor as his father.

"Ahem! Cough! Jerejen coughed loudly, her face flushed, and she pointed to the cup on the table. The attendant stood in place in a daze, slowly reacting before trembling to get the wine and hand it to the emperor, and stepped aside.

Yelujing took a sharp sip and took a breath to settle down. Yelu Jing's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at the attendant, "Go, pick up my dagger." ”

The attendant bowed down and picked up the blood-stained dagger and offered it with both hands. Yelujing grabbed the dagger and cut it straight into the throat of the attendant, blood spurting straight into his hideous face, "Your hands and feet are so slow, what use do I want you to do!" Before the squire could speak, he stared and fell straight down.

Seeing two people killed in a row in one night, even if he was an old minister who was used to fighting on the battlefield, he gasped when he saw such a cruel method.

Yeluxian stood up tremblingly, and the attendant Qiliang hurriedly stepped forward to help, his voice was weak, "Uncle, I... I've seen so much blood, I'm afraid it's the disease again. ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Luxian, either disdainful or ridiculed, as well as Xiao Siwen's deep gaze, and Xiyin's questioning and scrutinizing eyes.

"You go back and take your medicine first!" Yelujing didn't look at him, and waved his hand impatiently.

After the great ceremony, Yeluxian withdrew from the palace tent with the support of Qiliang.

There was silence in the tent again.

"Your Majesty, after all, the prince of Jin is the concubine of Sejong, it is difficult to keep the heart of disobedience, do you want to allow the minister to prepare some decoction for the prince?" Xiao Siwen stood up. The words seemed to be about to put Yeluxian to death.

The emperor's eyes were hollow, and he said quietly, "My cousin Yelu Louguo, if he hadn't been rebellious, how would I have hanged him to set an example?" Uncle Xiao Meigu and Li Han, Yelu Li Hu, they betrayed first, why did they come to me every night to ask for their souls in their dreams? And also... My siblings, one by one, haha..."The smile was desolate and bleak.

A trace of hatred flashed in Xiyin's eyes, and then he said, "The king is the king's business, and the minister is the minister's business, they are rebellious, not the uncle's ruthlessness." What's more, the emperor's brother Xian and the prince have been weak since childhood, and they have not pretended to be so many years, and the emperor's brother is good, and there will not be such a city. ”

It sounds like a brotherhood, excusing Yeluxian, and listening to the ears of those who have a heart, you know that he intends to remind the emperor to beware of Yeluxian. He wanted to get rid of Yeluxian by the hand of Yelujing, and his ambition was obvious.

The rest of the crowd did not react, and Han Derang only stared at the villain fiercely, almost wanting to have a seizure.

"That's it, Xiao Qing, you can do it, but you still have to take care of my family affection for him." The emperor's words were not only to take Xiyin's words to heart, but also to be unbearable, and Yeluxian, who felt sick, could not pose a threat to himself. simply let him go, let go of his conscience.

Xiao Siwen bowed and withdrew.

After leaving the palace tent, Xiao Siwen came to the palace tent where Yeluxian took a break with the attendant who served the decoction and medicine generously, Xiao Siwen saluted and said, "Lord, the emperor ordered the ministers to send the decoction to replenish the body, drink it while it is hot." ”

Yeluxian coughed repeatedly, picked up the soup bowl, covered his face with a wide-sleeved robe, tilted his head, and poured the medicine into the cotton wool that had been prepared in his sleeve, revealing the slightest.

The attendants who accompanied him were relieved. Xiao Siwen sent the attendant who came with him to return with the medicine bowl to resume his life.

Then Yeluxian retreated, and only the two of them were left in the tent.

Yeluxian knelt on one knee, clenched his hands into fists, and his voice was low, "Thank you Lord Xiao for arranging someone to protect my life in the chaos of Huoshendian, this king has not forgotten his great grace for many years, please accept this king's worship." "Bow deeply.

Xiao Siwen hurriedly helped him up, his face softened, "The prince sees outside, you and I are already close, and there is not enough manpower sent into the palace by the ministers that day, only that Chef Liu is clever and can save you from the chaos." The minister was incompetent and failed to save Emperor Sejong and Empress. Xiao Siwen fell into deep remorse.

When the Huoshendian was in turmoil, the traitor Yelucha conspired against him, killed Emperor Sejong and the empress, and then chased and killed the four-year-old prince Yeluxian, who happened to run to the small kitchen to steal food, and met Xiao Siwen arranged to enter the palace, a cook named Liu Jieli.

The cook couldn't bear it, so he wrapped Yeluxian in a small felt and put it on the edge of the firewood, so as to avoid this murderous disaster. Then, Ye Luxian remembered this great favor on Xiao Siwen's head.

Ye Luxian smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for Lord Xiao, I'm afraid that this king wouldn't be able to live this stable eighteen years." "Turn to the right color," My lord, I can hide it from others, but this king thinks, you have a clear eye, you can see that this king has been sharp for many years, calling himself sick to the outside world, and ignoring the affairs of the court, do you know why? ”

Seeing that Yeluxian was honest with himself, Xiao Siwen couldn't help but be surprised, so he simply didn't go around in circles, "The prince is hiding and not saying, he is waiting for the opportunity, dare to ask, has the time come?" He said tentatively.

"Back then, Xu was an adult who unintentionally rescued this king, today, this king only asks the adult, whether he is willing to help this king again, this king, what I want is the country of this great Liao, and what I want is the country of the great Liao!" In the last sentence, Ye Luxian slammed on Xiao Siwen's heart word by word.

Yelu Xianken confided his heart like this, it must have been after some careful consideration, and after his years of observation, Xiao Siwen saved his life back then, and it can be regarded as some friendship; Although introverted, there is also ambition; Never leaned on one side or the other, just picked himself clean. If you are so wise to protect yourself and take it step by step, if you take it for your own use, wouldn't it be easier for you to achieve your hegemony?

Seeing that Yeluxian was ambitious and honest with himself, it was better to fight with the new master than to swallow his anger under this incompetent Yelujing.

At this moment, the prosperous and powerful Da Liao seemed to be in front of Xiao Siwen's eyes, and under the excitement, he promised with his chin head, "The prince believes in the ministers, and the ministers will never live up to it, and they are willing to give up their lives to help the prince revitalize the Da Liao!" ”

Darkness swallows the starlight, the night is long, the rising sun will always rise in the east, and the grassland will always usher in the dawn.
