Pingxi Shizifu,

Outside the window of Wu Yue's study, a small yellow spring flower wakes up first in winter, looking strange in the unfinished snow.

He is twenty-five years old this year, and he was born very buoyant. He wears a tasseled hat on his head, a golden bell hairpin, and a golden jade railing ring; Long waist, wearing green Luo pleats; Under the feet, the bottom of the fine knot, Chen Qiao shoes, clear water cloth socks; The more he shows a face like Zhang Sheng, Pan An's appearance.

He folded off the small yellow flower outside the window, and while inserting it in the celadon vase on the case, he said to Bao Zhuo beside him: "Your Majesty should have seen Hu Dugu." ”

"Yes. I saw with my own eyes that the king of Leshui took him away. Bao Zhuo said.

"Good. Now you can leave Mongolia. If the Mongol Khan knew that the Khitan Department had joined forces with the Great Chu to start an incident, he would not have taken no action. Wu Yue said lightly.

"What if Your Majesty doesn't believe in Hu Dugu and doesn't make any moves?" Bao Zhuo asked.

Wu Yue shook his head and said categorically: "He will believe it." Because Hu Dugu's reasons are reasonable, and our Majesty also needs a chance to prove his ability to the old ministers!"

"Then what if the Mongol Khan doesn't believe in villains?"

"Now Mongolia is at war with the Khitans in the west, but all the grain and grass for the war are supplied by the Khitans in the east. It is impossible for him to rest assured, and if he has the opportunity, he must hope that the supply of grain and grass will be completely controlled by himself. And let's give him that excuse. ”

Bao Zhuo nodded, and said: "Also, the old prince came to ask, this time the queen mother celebrates her birthday, whether she wants to enter Beijing to celebrate her birthday." ”

"It's just a trick to release the military power with a glass of wine. The father said that he was sick, and the other two kings entered Beijing. I am unharmed, and neither are the two kings. Wu Yue said, took the tea and asked, "How is Bai Lu and Song Chu over there?" ”

"Sure enough, as the prince expected." Bao Zhuo suddenly laughed: "Haha! This amorous son, always see one and love the other......"

"If these three things are done, we will be halfway back to Chengdu." Wu Yue is colorful.

Bao Zhuo immediately said seriously: "Yes." ”

Under the corridor of Weiyang Palace, Hu Dugu, a Khitan merchant, cautiously followed behind the King of Leshui County.

"I'll see Your Majesty later, and I'll answer whatever I ask you." Xuanqi Road.

"Hmm. Well. The villain got it. Hu Dugu winced and nodded.

With Wang Xi's guidance, the two entered the small hall of Weiyang Palace one after the other.

In front of the screen, Shi Shi, the director of the Imperial City, stood upright with a knife, and behind the screen, a person sat upright.

"Your Majesty." Xuanqi saluted.

When Hu Dugu saw it, he hurriedly held his chest and said, "The villain Hu Dugu greets Your Majesty." Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live. ”

Xuan Nan behind the screen said: "Flat, give two people to sit." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xuanqi got up and sat on the chair behind him.

"Huh... Thank you, Your Majesty. Hu Dugu also learned from Xuanqi.

"I have already read the letter you brought. But how did you, a small merchant, know Yeluda, the leader of the Khitan tribe? How did you recognize the king of Leshui? Do you know the contents of the letter before you send it? ”

"Back to Your Majesty. Although the villain is Bai Ding, the villain's uncle's surname is Xiao, called Xiao Yan, and he is the school secretary under our king. It was he who recommended to the king to let the villain deliver the letter. The villain has been going back and forth between Khitan and your country, and has sent wool batches and mountain ginseng medicinal materials to many dignitaries and nobles in Bianliang. Therefore, I also knew some people, and I knew where the Liang Wangfu was if I inquired. The villain originally wanted to take advantage of the sale of mutton to King Liang's mansion and ask His Royal Highness King Liang to hand over the letter to His Majesty. But King Liang was not in the mansion that day, and the villain had to hand it over to His Royal Highness the King of Leshui County. As for the content of the letter, although the villain has not read it, he can guess a thing or two. ”

"What do you think is on the letter?"

"Left and right, please Your Majesty help my king in trouble."

"Now that you know, you dare to deliver the letter? If the Mongols know about it, you will be condemned. ”

"Your Majesty's words are extremely true. The villain participated in the rebellion, and the villain's whole clan was punished. The Khitan conspired against him, and the Khitan clan was executed. However, the Mongols now enslave our people and force us to surrender our grain, cattle and sheep to attack our fellow clansmen, Western Liao. Even if the people of my Eastern Khitan Kingdom are weak and weak, they can't compare to Emperor Taizu back then, and they can't help the Mongols to fight their own compatriots......" Hu Dugu said, tears broke down in his voice: "Your Majesty the Merciful Great Chu Emperor, please save the Khitan and save our people." This year was a famine year, and they took ninety percent of the grain...... The villains can only use the leather goods in the mountains to exchange some food for Dachu to make ends meet......"

Xuan Qi wiped his tears from the side. Qiu Tie bowed his head and remained silent.

Xuan Nan, who had been silent for a long time behind the screen, spoke: "I appreciate your loyalty to the Khitan. However, this matter needs to be considered in the long term. Today, you will rest in the place that Qiu Changshi arranged for you. For the loss of your business, Liang Wangfu will compensate ten times. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hu Dugu thanked him.

Then, Xuan Nan waved his hand, and Wang Xi led him out.

Then Xuan Nan came out from behind the screen and asked, "Do you think what he said is credible?" ”

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect the Khitan to ......be so miserable," Xuanqi said: "It is possible for us to recover Youyan by sending troops, why not." ”

"It is also possible that the troops sent did not recover Youyan, and they also tore their faces with Mongolia." Qiu Tiedao: "The last general thinks that it is better to discuss this matter with Wang Xie Erxiang." ”

"I don't have to." Xuan Nan said: "This matter is confidential, the fewer people who know about it, the better." However, in major military affairs, I will not believe a one-sided word of Di Shang, and it needs to be carefully verified. If this is the case, the cabinet will be convened again for consultation. ”

"Then how does Your Majesty plan to verify it?" Qiu Tie asked.

"As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing. Qiu Qing, you still need to make a trip to this matter yourself. Xuan Nan said.

"Yes. Obey the order. "Qiu Railway.

"Wait, Your Majesty. The minister thought that this was inappropriate. Xuanqi said.

Xuan Nan turned his head and said, "You say." ”

"Qiu Changshi led the Imperial City Division to spy on intelligence for His Majesty, and no one knows. If Qiu Changshi suddenly disappeared for a period of time in Beijing, I am afraid that it would be to alert the Mongolian spies in Bianliangli. It's better to go to Yanjing to investigate. The minister has just arrived, and disappearing for a while will not attract attention. If Yeluda really has the intention of belonging, the identity of the king of the county also reassures him. Xuanqi said.

"Your Majesty, if Your Highness makes a mistake, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble...... Qiu Tie said worriedly.

Xuan Nan sat on the chair, his hand involuntarily turning the tea lid on the tea cup. After being silent for a long time, he looked at the confident Xuanqi and said, "Second brother, it's very dangerous to go here, have you thought about it?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty. Subject to the state, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, there is no reason to refuse. If there is really an accident, the minister should observe the festival for the country, and please don't think of me. After that, Xuanqi bowed solemnly.

"Good. Qiu Qing, the king of Leshui County will set off soon, please form a team of capable young history for him to protect the king of the county. Xuan Nan said.

"Obey." Qiu Railway.

"King of Leshui County, I give you the Tiger Talisman that can mobilize the five towns in Jizhong, and act cheaply at a critical juncture." Xuan Nan said.

"Obey." Xuanqi Road.

Ten days later, in the Jianzhang Palace, the palace people Dye Dong sent a piece of snow-white fox skin to Concubine Shu. Dye Dong unconsciously admired: "This piece of leather is really beautiful." Our lord is really filial. ”

The concubine stroked the smooth and soft fox skin and said, "What age am I, where can I use such tender materials?"

"Where is the concubine, the slave maid will make you a shawl, it seems that you look good." Dye Dong said.

"Is the chicken soup cooked in the kitchenette ready? If it's okay, you can send some to the Queen Mother. The concubine said.

"Yes." Dye Dong's gaze lingered for a moment on the snow-white fox fur that was not stained with a single motley color, and then Shi Li retreated.

When the concubine saw her retreat, she picked up the scissors and gently cut the fox skin, and a brown paper bag the size of half a palm was taken out. The flyer wrote dignifiedly: "Er'an, don't read it. Tomorrow into Youyan, no more books. After reading, it was burned, 10 million. Xuanqi characters. ”

Looking at the small piece of paper repeatedly, this piece of words came to her through the snowfall at the border gate, and she couldn't help but burst into tears. Retracted the plain paper on the flame, folded it carefully, and put it in the makeup box.
