Chapter 608: Eccentricity

The warm pavilion of the Xixia Imperial Palace, the entire attic is actually not Chinese New Year's Eve, because the earth dragon is paved, the room is steaming, on the bookshelf against the south wall, Li Qianshun took out a heavy book, placed it on the table, and looked at it with his head immersed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The waiter waiting on the side did not dare to come out on Chinese New Year's Eve, tiptoed open the cover of the palace lamp, used a stick to pick the wick of the oil lamp, and the room lit up in a flash.

At this time, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and a person lightly pushed open a crack in the door and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the king of the Ministry of Rites is asking to see you." ”

Western Xia imitated the Chinese New Year's Eve Song official system, and also set up three provinces and six ministries, in the Chinese New Year's Eve Song Dynasty, although the Ministry of Ceremonies was one of the six departments, but the status of the Chinese New Year's Eve ranked after the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, but in Western Xia, due to the implementation of national studies, the status of the Ministry of Ceremonies was transcendent, and it could even influence the appointment and dismissal of officials. The Ministry of Rites has the right to face the saint at any time.

Li Qianshun closed the book, and said with a tired chin and said, "Call him in, what time is it?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's past noon."

Li Qianshun sighed and said suddenly: "Time flies, my time is running out." He pursed his lips and stared blankly at the bookshelf in the distance.

Yang Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, crept in, bowed his head and bowed: "Your Majesty has seen Your Majesty." ”

Li Qianshun raised his hand and said, "Sit down, sit down." ”

Yang Zhenyao sat down and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have discussed with the ministries, and finally listed some regulations for choosing a son-in-law, please look at it." ”

After that, he took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to the chamberlain, who handed it over to Li Qianshun to see.

Li Qianshun smiled faintly and said, "It's hard work." Then he glanced at it for a while, raised his eyes and said, "What is the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting competition for?" ”

Yang Zhen was confused, raised his eyes and glanced at Li Qianshun, thinking to himself, Your Majesty usually has the best piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the last time he came to ask if he would add some Chinese studies to the selection, Li Qianshun also nodded, why is this attitude today. Hurriedly said: "Your Majesty......"

Li Qianshun shook him off: "This article is not necessary, calligraphy and painting can only cultivate the heart, how can it be the standard for choosing a son-in-law?" I won the world with horses in the summer of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I chose my son-in-law, and I should mainly bow horses. ”

Yang Zhen was slightly stunned, and then raised his eyes and glanced at Li Qianshun, seeing that his face was indifferent, he couldn't see any face, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty ......, bow and horse win the world, but you can't rule the world, these things are Your Majesty's own mouth, why ......?"

Li Qianshun said with a smile: "This is not the time for these things, in short, let's do it according to this." ”

Yang Zhen said: "If the princes of various countries are allowed to bow and fight against each other, there will inevitably be casualties, if so, how can the Chinese New Year's Eve Xia explain to the countries?" Moreover, most of the princes sent by various countries are powerless scholars on Chinese New Year's Eve, and they are afraid that they will lose before they turn over the horse. ”

Li Qianshun bowed his head: "There is nothing wrong with his concerns, if not, the princes and princes of various countries have brought their cronies and guards, these people must be elite soldiers, let them fight for their respective masters, whoever is skilled in bows and horses, my princess will marry whomever I want." ”

Yang Zhen was still confused, and realized that today's Li Qianshun seemed to be incompatible with the past, so he had to bow his head and say, "Your Majesty understands." ”

Li Qianshun said again: "How is the prince of Jin?" ”

Yang Zhen said: "Fortunately, I am a little arrogant, last night, I didn't know why I had a conflict with the Khitan prince, and I actually beat the Khitan prince." ”

Li Qianshun was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "His temperament is a little impatient, and his temperament is still good, I heard that he is skilled in bowing and horses, and he is an unborn fierce general, isn't it?" ”

Yang Zhen said: "But I heard that he once fought everywhere with the lord of the Jin Kingdom, and he was quite meritorious. Although he is not tomorrow, he is very respected by Yan Agu. Yang Zhen lowered his voice and continued: "Within the Jin Kingdom, there are many people who support him as the prince of the Jin Kingdom. However, this is all a rumor, and the ministers don't know how it is. ”

Li Qianshun smiled faintly and said: "He brought eight hundred Jin country warriors, I want to see how powerful the Jin country warriors are in three days, I am tired, go down." ”

When Yang Zhen came out of the warm pavilion, he patted his head and couldn't help but say: "I see, after three days, the Jin Kingdom will win." Then he sighed, couldn't help but shiver, and couldn't help but shrink the shawl behind him.

Coming out of the warm pavilion, this change of hot and cold, how can Yang Zhen afford it at this age? Fortunately, a chamberlain had already prepared a fox fur cloak and ran over to drape Yang Zhen, while saying: "Your Majesty Yang Chinese New Year's Eve is old and can't stand the cold, let the slave send a cloak to cover the cold." He said again: "Your Majesty, recruit son-in-law, it is not the prince's talent and skills, for our Chinese New Year's Eve Xia Kingdom, Yang Chinese New Year's Eve people work hard, Prince Jin, you can't win." ”

Yang Zhen put on his cloak, from his body to his heart, he said: "Go back and tell Your Majesty, the subordinates understand." ”

After leaving the palace, I got on a warm sedan chair and went to the side of the ceremonial department, and a party official from the ceremonial department came over angrily and said angrily: "Yang Chinese New Year's Eve, I won't do this errand, so I asked Your Majesty to remove my ministry, and the lower official would rather go home to retire." ”

The person who came was Li Wan, the person who welcomed the guests, Yang Zhenping had a good relationship with him, and said with a smile: "What do you raise at this age?" It's almost the same as giving Ling Zun a pension, what is it? ”

Li Wandao: "It's not that the prince of Najin, Wanyan Zongjie, is really hateful, yesterday he had a conflict with Na Yelu Yinde, and today he has a conflict with Duan of the Chinese New Year's Eve Li Guo." ”

Yang Zhen smiled bitterly: "Bear with me, I'm just a guest now, and I will be a concubine of the dynasty in the future, so wouldn't it be unnecessary to live?" As for the princes of various countries, they all moved to Honglu Temple for the time being, and lived with the king of Penglai County of the Song Kingdom, and hid if they couldn't be provoked. ”

Li Wan was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't that Shen Ao also a troublemaker?" ”

Yang Zhen said: "Not really, at least it's better than Nayelu Zongjie, okay, do it quickly, I still have a charter to write." ”

Li Wanman had no choice but to go reluctantly.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hongxu Temple finally became lively, the dog in front of the domain did not pay attention, but now it is full of friends, Shen Ao came back from wandering on the street in the afternoon, saw a car and horse parked at the door, asked a little, only to know that the princes of Tubo, Chinese New Year's Eve, Khitan and other countries have moved.

As soon as he entered, he saw Yelu Yinde coming over with dark eyes, and pulled Shen Ao to eat tea while complaining, which was nothing more than the arrogance of the golden people, unreasonable and the like.

Shen Ao smiled faintly and said: "Barbarian, it's all like this, Brother Yelu is used to it, what do you have to do with him?" But it was the punch he hit in the face that made him a lot more handsome, much more chic than before. ”

Yelu Yinde covered the bruises on his face and said with a wry smile: "Brother Shen laughs." ”

Just then, the Tibetan prince happened to come in with his legs raised, and when he heard the word barbarian, he was stung by a bee, and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Yelu Yinde and said, "In the deed fog, what are you going to go?" ”

This Tibetan prince had a gold ring on his nose, a tassel made of braided hair behind his ears, a bronze face on his face, and even the clothes on his body seemed to have not been changed for a long time, and the stench came from afar. According to the custom of the Tibetan country, people can only take three baths in their lives, and any more will be blasphemous.

called the cold snort in the deed fog, but his temperament was straightforward, and said: "Being insulted as a barbarian, what are you doing here?" ”

Shen Ao and Yelu Yinde looked at each other, their original was Wanyan Zongjie, who knew that this Qiwu brother had such a sense of substitution, looked at each other, and then laughed.

Hongxu Temple was lively after that, and the Chinese New Year's Eve family was more of the same age than Chinese New Year's Eve, with the same identity, and they all had common enemies, and they got along well. The next day, the statute of the Western Xia State for choosing a son-in-law was finally released. Three days later, the princes of various countries led their guards to gather on the outskirts of Longxing Mansion, and each led his troops to fight, and the winner won the championship.

After reading this charter, Yelü Yinde's face changed Chinese New Year's Eve, and he said resentfully: "The Western Xia Dog and the Jin Kingdom are in a state of contemplation, which is too deceitful. Isn't this clearly about wanting Yan Zongjie to win the championship? What else are you asking us to do? How can this be reasonable, come, pack up the tools, and we will return to our country. ”

The prince of Tubo also snorted coldly, if the Jin country is allied with Western Xia, it will also be a disaster for Tubo, Western Xia has a strong Chinese New Year's Eve Jin country as a backing, if it continues to attack Tubo, where can Tubo parry?

Chinese New Year's Eve Liguo's sarcasm is the most free and easy, he came this time, he has no desire and no desire, if there is a chance to hold the princess, it is naturally better, if there is no regret, he does not feel sorry, but the relationship between him and Wanyan Zongjie is tense, at this time, he saw that the Xixia people deliberately released water to Wanyan Zongjie, shook the fan in his hand, and sneered: "Ridiculous, ridiculous......" and walked away.

Shen Ao didn't go to see the list in person, Yelu Yinde hurriedly came over to inform him, but Shen Ao was not surprised, it was really reasonable to release water to the people of the Jin Kingdom, and it was a normal thing, if he was the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, the ban would add one more: those with smooth faces are not allowed to intervene in the selection, and those with acne are preferred.

Because Yan Zongjie's face was full of pox, if he posted this article, everyone except him would be stripped of their qualifications to participate in the competition.

Marrying a daughter in the Western Xia Kingdom is politics, where is there any affection? Seeing Yelu Yinde report angrily, Shen Ao smiled faintly and said: "It is reasonable for Xixia to favor Yan Zongjie, it is also reasonable, there is no need for the elder brother to complain anymore, since he is going to fight, then it is okay to fight against him, the cavalry of the Khitan Kingdom is also famous all over the world, why, Brother Yelu has no confidence?" ”

Yelu Yin said with a pinch: "Where, where, Brother Shen has never seen the power of the golden dog, that momentum is enough to make the heavens and the earth change color, and the opponent trembles, although the guards I brought are all carefully selected elite warriors, but compared with the golden dog, I am afraid that there is no chance of even one percent." ”

Shen Ao bowed his head and said, "What tactics do the Jin people usually use to fight?" ”

Seeing that Shen Ao was curious, Yelu Yinde did not hide it, the Khitan and the Jin State fought for many years, although they were not the opponents of the Jin people, but they had already understood the tactics of the Jin people, and it was not difficult to come, Shen Ao just listened, occasionally asked, and sometimes asked someone to write it down.
