Chapter 159: Gambling and fighting
Li Er entered the palace of the king, walked to the front of the hundred officials, and bowed his hand and said: "Li Er, the Taixue scribe, pays a visit to the king." ”
The king looked at Li Er in front of him and thought, "This is still a child. But he said, "Is Qing the new scribe?"
Li Er said: "Exactly, the minister just took office last year, and this year he was ordered to send envoys to the northern countries to check and accept the collection of books. ”
The king said: "Qing is here this time, and the king can have a message to transmit." "In the past, when scribes arrived in various countries, they would deliver messages and letters, so King Yan had this question.
Li Er said: "There is indeed news, the king asked the minister to see how the beast is doing? ”
The king took the queen's concubines to see the peacocks these days, knowing that the two finch slaves took good care of them, and said, "Okay, let's go and see it later." ”
The officials haven't seen the Rui Beast yet, but they've heard that it looks amazing, and they said in their hearts that it's good to go and see it together.
At this time, a voice came from outside the king's palace: "The great chief of Jerod and his entourage have come to see him." ”
The king said: "See you quickly." ”
Li Er retreated into the crowd and stood behind the young lady.
In the main hall, a row of tables and lacquerware, snacks and fruits have already been prepared, and the king and the three imperial historians are sitting upright and waiting, and the pen and ink are placed on the table in front of the imperial history.
King Yan shook his spirits, and saw Ji Ping leading a big man into the main hall, walking down the throne, and watching as he walked: this big man is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, eight feet tall, with curved eyebrows and chicken eyes, and a bearskin uniform, which has an extraordinary momentum.
Yelu Nalan Xiong watched King Yan: seven feet tall, medium build, about fifty years old, some fat, public face, apricot eyes, yellow face and short beard, a purple robe, and also outstanding.
The two looked at each other, each admiring in their hearts.
When King Yan approached, the great chief of Yelu said, "Bugu has seen King Yan. ”
King Yan bowed his hand and said: "The great chieftain is famous, and he is here today to discuss the peace between the two states, and he is polite." ”
Chief Yelu said: "Bugu has been invading your country for many years, although I feel ashamed, I am also helpless: the north is bitter cold, prone to locust plagues, and lacks food and clothing. Where you offended your state in the past, you still hope that the king Haihan. ”
King Yan said: "You are tired from traveling for days, and sit down first. With that, he turned back to the throne and sat down.
Ji Ping led Yelu Nalan Xiong, Xiao Tiemur, Boerhu and Tian Leizi to the left and right tables of the throne, and the four of them sat down cross-legged.
A maid of the palace stepped out from behind the king and began to add water to the lacquerware on the table.
At this time, Tian Leizi was dressed in a Taoist robe, and he was very eye-catching sitting among the heroes.
King Yan had already paid attention to Tian Leizi, and seeing that this old way was extraordinary, he secretly made a comparison in his heart: "This old way is quite arrogant, more than mighty, compared with the erudite teacher he invited, it is obviously not calm and calm. But he said: "This Dao Leader looks extraordinary, but is the Great Chief's newly hired national teacher?"
Tian Leizi has made a fool of himself in front of everyone, and he has always been cautious. Now when he heard the king's question, he didn't dare to slack off, walked to the center of the hall, made a gesture, and said, "The Heavenly Harrier has seen King Yan when he watched the sky. ”
The king said: "This king has heard the name of the Heavenly Harrier Temple for a long time, and I don't want to see the master of the Heavenly Harrier View today, so don't be restrained." "How did King Yan know about the Heavenly Harrier Temple, but it had to start after the eighth princess returned to China.
The eighth princess returned to China and brought back a small bottle of Yingzi pills given by her mother. One day the king had a stomachache, the eighth princess took out the Yingzi pill, broke a small piece for the king to eat, the king's stomach soon stopped hurting, and asked the eighth princess what kind of medicine this is, it works so fast?
The eighth princess told the origin of Yingzimaru. When the king heard this, he said, "In this way, the Harrier Guangao is uncertain about his whereabouts, and he may hide in the mountains and forests, and he can travel around at any time, so he doesn't know when he can see such characters as Tianxuanzi and Tianxingzi?"
The eighth princess said: "Even if the Harrier Guan Master is magical on this day, there are traces to follow, which is like the erudite invited by the king." ”
The king said: "What Concubine Ai said is very true, thinking of the disappearance of the erudite master in the forest, I am puzzled, and everyone is in full view, it is incredible." ”
The eighth princess said: "The king has a learned teacher to assist the government, so there is no need to worry about these idlers in the mountains and forests. ”
The king said: "That's what I said, but the strange man still wants to see it." ”
Since then, King Yan has remembered the name of Tian Harrier Guan Tian Xuanzi Tian Xingzi, and he doesn't want to see Tian Harrier Guan Tian Lei Zi so soon.
The king said: "This king has long admired the noble view of Tianxuanzi Tianxingzi, I don't know what to call these two?"
Tian Lei Zi made a gesture of worshipping his hand and said: "Tian Xuanzi is the senior brother of the poor Dao, and Tian Xingzi is the senior brother of the poor Dao, I don't know when the king has seen them?"
The king said: "This king didn't have the opportunity to meet the two masters of Tianxuanzi and Tianxingzi, but today I met the Taoist chief, and I also counted my wishes, and the Taoist chief also asked to sit down and talk." ”
Tian Leizi returned to the table and sat down, and the chief of Yelu said: "Yan Wang Wen Tao Wu is famous all over the world, and he is very respected. This time, I prepared 200 sheepskins, and asked King Yan to accept them. ”
When Yan Wugong was young, he personally led the three armies to fight, and he was also famous in Beirong Beidi, and he was given the title of "King of Hades", so the great chief of Yelu said so.
King Yan said: "Thank you so much, Great Chief. After speaking, he turned to Ji Ping and continued: "Aiqing will go back to prepare for the next return gift, don't wait for the big chief." ”
Ji Ping said: "No." ”
King Yan turned to the big chief and said, "You live in the official post, if you have any needs, you can put them forward. ”
The big chief said: "Lord Xiangguo has arranged it very properly, and we have no special needs." It's just that my country's warrior Xiao Tiemur was defeated by your country's erudite master in Zhongshan Kingdom, and when he returned to our state, he couldn't tell how he was defeated, and Bugu was very puzzled: 'How can there be a young woman in the world with such a high level of force', so he invited the Taoist of Tianleizi to serve as the national teacher of our country, and wanted to see the means of the learned master, and hoped that the king could arrange for the two to compete. The heart said: "There are many ways to break the demon law in the Daomen, how is it to see how you are a young doll?"
King Yan turned to Ji Ping and said, "What does Aiqing think of the Great Chief's request?"
Ji Ping is more refined, and said: "The status of the national teacher and the erudite master is the same, and they are both important ministers of the two countries. "Well, it's gambling again. This is also the trust of the king and the hundred officials in the young lady, and when they heard the matter of the great chief of Yelu proposing to compete with the skills, they wanted to help the young lady establish his authority again: The important ministers of our country are not those who want to challenge them.
Boer Hu said: "The competition between important ministers really can't be taken lightly, since you have said this, please ask King Yan for a few days, let me wait for discussion." "Borhu was cunning, afraid that the Great Chief of Yelu would fall into the trap, so he spoke first.
The young lady came out and said: "King Rongyu: The minister's preparations for the development of Donghuanggang have been gradually completed, and he may set off at any time, so he can't delay for too long, and I hope that the king will think twice." ”
The young lady didn't want to delay for too long and affect her plan to develop Guanwai, but things often change, how would Grand Chief Yelu reply?
