Chapter 016: The Imperial Garden Competes for Favor and Hunts for Spring
Five days later, the military newspaper in the direction of Qianzhou finally arrived in Linhuang Mansion, and learned that the Shengnuzhen Wanyan Department had completely annihilated the rebels in Xiaohaili, and the Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi was in a good mood, and immediately invited the officials of the court and the opposition and the beauties of the harem to come to the imperial garden to drink and enjoy the plums.
"Xiao Fengxian, how did you arrange this year's spring hunt?" Emperor Tianzuo asked Beixiang among the flowers.
"Back to Your Majesty!" Xiao Fengxian saluted and said: "The birth of the Nuzhen Department has meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, this year's spring hunting Your Majesty may wish to come to the mixed river, one to reward the Jurchen meritorious ministers, and the other is to mix with the river winter fishing is approaching, it is said that its momentum is very large, the river fresh and fat out of the water is also regarded as a grand scene of my Daliao, and the Jurchen department of the minister respectfully asks His Majesty to take a look." ”
Emperor Tianzuo ignored the eyes of the ministers, took Concubine Yuan into his arms and said warmly: "Or your brother feels sorry for you, knowing that you love to eat fish, so you have to travel thousands of miles to that bitter cold place, do you think this is a fake public and private?" ”
Concubine Yuan smiled, and the face of the prosperous world only taught Baihua to be shy: "If Your Majesty is unwilling, then move to Nanjing Xijin Mansion, Concubine Wen's sister likes bean juice there!" ”
"The bean juice in Xijin Mansion is sour and smelly, I can't enjoy it, or Concubine Wen is fraternal, and she can accommodate the world's food in her mouth!" Xiao Fengxian's words were even more sour than the bean juice, which made the uncle Yelu Yujian and her sister Concubine Wen on the side suddenly blush.
Yelu Yu said: "Although the Shengnuzhen Department has completely annihilated the Xiao Haili Department, the military horses and baggage obtained have not been handed over to the Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, and your Majesty must guard against its wolf ambitions!" ”
Emperor Tianzuo said: "Aiqing, don't want a small belly, the Jurchen will send Xiao Haili's head to my eyes soon, I intend to make Wu Yashu the envoy of the Jurchen Ministry, then you and him will be colleagues, and you should work together to protect my Daliao Sheji!" ”
Yelu Yu was speechless, so he had to retreat, which made Xiao Fengxian more and more proud: "The day before yesterday, Yelu Dashi offered advice, and only then did it prove that the Jurchen Department was loyal or traitorous, and His Majesty should be rewarded." ”
Emperor Tianzuo sneered, looked back at Yelu Dashi, who was at the bottom of the hundred officials, and said, "Just reward the big stone forest tooth and drive the spring hunt!" ”
Xiao Fengxian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Emperor Tianzuo to send Yelu Dashi so perfunctory, but after thinking about it, accompanying the king is also a good opportunity to invite pets, maybe the emperor has another reward, thinking of this, Xiao Fengxian hurriedly said to Dashi: "Lin Ya is not quick to thank you!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Dashi bowed.
After leaving the palace, Yelu Dashi returned home with a worried mood, and there was no one to take care of it for a few days, and a lot of dust had fallen on the tables and chairs.
"If Zhou Boruo doesn't come back, I'm just afraid I'm going to go hungry!" Looking at the rusty pot and cold stove, Dashi smiled bitterly and said to himself.
At this moment, the sound of a few knocks on the door sounded, Dashi opened the door, and saw that the person who came was Xiao Yu, Han Xun, and Yelu Buddha, each holding wine and meat in their hands, as if they had already settled Dashi's predicament.
It's not the first time Xiao Yu has come to the door, but the last time he visited, he ate a closed door, and he didn't set foot in the house, and when he saw such a scene today, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This house is in disrepair, and there are fewer rooms, so it is really not worthy of the name of the champion, wait for me to go back and find some skilled craftsmen, and repair this place well." ”
Dashi thanked him: "Don't dare to worry about my brother, although this house is dilapidated, it is the property left by my father, and the bricks and tiles seem to have the voice and smile left by his old man, for me, this is the last memory of my father." ”
Xiao Yu sighed and said: "I have also heard about Ling Zun, with all due respect to the junior brother, what happened in the vast yellow sand twenty years ago has not yet been determined. Brother Gui is the champion of Beike, joining the Dalin Dental Academy, I don't know how much unwarranted jealousy will be aroused, in case there are people with ill intentions who take advantage of this matter to make trouble, it is expected to be an inexplicable and confused case, why should my brother be obsessed with this past? ”
Of course, Dashi knows what his father is like, but what Xiao Yu said is not unreasonable, and Emperor Tianzuo has a deep affection for him, if he comes to another false charge, I am afraid that he will not have the same good luck as the day before yesterday, and he will be able to retreat under the minions of the eagle dog.
"That's it!" Da Shi said: "Please leave this matter to Brother Xiao Xian!" ”
"Han Xun ......"
"Son, don't worry!" Han Xun smiled and agreed to the errand, and then put the wine and meat on the table and beckoned the four of them to sit down.
"Brother Oshi!" Xiao Yu took the lead in raising his glass: "The assassination case of Qinxin Hall has been solved, and I have lost my brother to persuade the assassin to confess, and the younger brother came to the door today to thank you." ”
"You and my brother don't have to be like this!"
After the two drank the wine in the cup, the next Yelu Buddha said: "The assassin has confessed that the person behind the curtain is the sticky Han of the Jurchen Department, as far as I know, this person was born in Goryeo, and his ancestors had been friends with the famous Goryeo general Gao Xianzhi of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Fifth brother's words are wrong!" Xiao Yu smiled and said: "The Jurchen has fulfilled the responsibility of the state by killing Xiao Haili, and my Da Liao courtiers should no longer be suspicious of him for no reason." ”
How should the confession of Urira be interpreted? Could it be that he is not talking? ”
Listening to the Buddha's questioning, Dashi couldn't help frowning, thinking back to the interrogation the day before yesterday, he really felt that there were some problems in his confession, but at that time, His Majesty solved the case within a time limit, and in a hurry, he and Xiao Yu ignored it.
The confession of Urira on that day was as follows:
Thirteen times, I smuggled 27 of Yelu Yixin's disciples to Anguo Temple and placed them in a vegetable cellar to hide. The Jurchen Wanyan Department of Sticky Han and I agreed to start an incident together on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, and I would lead people to raid the Qinxin Palace, and he would wait for the opportunity to assassinate the envoys of the Song Dynasty, so that the Liao State would be in internal and external troubles, but unfortunately I did not succeed.
Dashi's heart repeated the confession of Te Tra over and over again, and one question after another arose.
"Since they have already agreed on a time, why did Mu Han disguise himself as a monk and venture into the imperial city?"
"There are twenty-six corpses of the assassins, why does Utra say that there are twenty-seven people who stole into the imperial city, is he counting himself?"
"The monk who attacked Ma Kuo sneak attacked, his swordsmanship has Pei Min's legacy, but when he fought with me, he didn't show it, is it ......?"
"The two monks I saw before and after are not the same person!"
Thinking of this, Yelu Dashi suddenly felt a chill in his back, and he suddenly got up, so frightened that Xiao Yu, Han Xun, and Buddha Ding, who were drinking, jumped up.
"What's wrong with you?" Han Xun asked.
"Xiao Haili's rebellion, Qinxin Palace's attack, fire and Song Dynasty mission, there is someone else behind the three things!"
With that, Dashi immediately rushed out of the house, turned over his horse, and galloped straight towards the direction of Dashun Gate.
