Chapter 621: The Imperial Court Shakes (2)
"Your Excellency, please!"
Seeing the strangely shaped wolf-headed token, the Night's Patrol Spirit Guard immediately became respectful and quickly let it go???. .?r?a?n?? ena`com
The man in the sedan sedan snorted coldly, withdrew the token, and there was no other sound. The eight Spirit Venerable Realm powerhouses outside the sedan chair also arrogantly signaled to the night guard to dodge, and then swaggered, escorted the sedan chair, and entered one of the tallest and most prosperous buildings in the Bafang Post Station.
Everyone knows that the building was built specifically for the reception of the Liao mission. Over the years, this building has almost become a country within a country in the Song Kingdom, and the Liao State Mission has acted perversely in it, all kinds of lawlessness, and no one in the Song State can do anything about it.
And that wolf head token is the token of the chief envoy of the upper-level mission of the Liao State. It is said that this thing is the monarch of the Liao State, also known as the emperor, the wolf lord personally gifted, seeing this thing is like seeing the monarch. Its nature is equivalent to the sword of Shang Fang of the Song Kingdom.
The sedan chair stopped in front of the tall and prosperous building, and a burly Liao man with an eagle on his shoulder stepped forward with a team of guards to inspect the people in the sedan chair.
This man turned out to be Ruan Zun, a young general of the Liao State who had a relationship with him in Xinzhou Tianyuan Valley.
Wu Yanguang stopped the sedan chair. The entourage who came with the sedan chair immediately opened the sedan door respectfully, only to see a civil official of the Song State who was nearly fifty years old and had a dim face coming out of the sedan chair.
If you know someone, you will be surprised to see this person. Without him, this person is the head of the Manchu Dynasty's civil officials, Xiangye Zhang.
The Prime Minister of the Song Kingdom secretly came to the embassy of the Liao State late at night, which is really a very bizarre thing. If it was known to the Song court, Zhang Yiyi would not be able to escape the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country and having ill intentions.
But Wu Yanguang didn't seem to be surprised by his arrival. casually whispered, and welcomed him in. His entourage, on the other hand, was left to wait outside the main entrance of the building.
Walking through the luxuriously decorated hall, Zhang's face was always very serious. It wasn't until he arrived at the side hall that a girl from the Liao Kingdom with a beautiful face and a pleasant sky came out dissatisfied, and Zhang Meng was sincerely frightened and knelt down.
"Villain Zhang, meet Her Royal Highness Princess Taiyin and Princess Da Lixiao of Liao Kingdom!"
......
Night, Hong Xin Hong Taiwei Mansion.
In previous years, the bustling Hong Taiwei Mansion is now like a dead silence, lonely and deserted, and there are not even a few lights in the huge mansion. If it weren't for the fact that the guards were still heavily guarded, there would hardly have any prestige of a court lieutenant.
Perhaps, after experiencing that tragic incident, this place has become a sad place for Taiwei Hongxin.
Wen Yanbo and Murong Yanda came to the front of the mansion and were stopped by the guards: "What kind of person!
"Wen Yanbo, the governor of politics and the deputy hall master of the Demon Suppression Palace, and Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou Mansion, have come to meet Lord Taiwei!"
The guards went in to report, and after a while, Hong Xin hurriedly greeted them, and said to the two from afar: "Brother Wen, Brother Murong, I knew that you would come to me." ”
Wen Yanbo's face was heavy: "The two of us came to visit, and we really have important matters to discuss." ”
"Go in and talk. Hong Xin welcomed the two in.
The three of them came to the study in the house, retreated left and right, and closed the door. Hong Xin asked, "Lord Wen, Lord Murong, are you here today for the firearms review in three days?"
"Not bad. Murong Yanda took the lead and said, "Lord Hong, I know that Ruan Zun used to do some chores and other things in your mansion when he was young, and he can be regarded as having an old relationship with your lord. After this kid left Hongfu, he had a lot of adventures, but this kid, no matter what adventures he had before, was not as important as this matter. ”
"I am the prefect of Qingzhou, and the new firearms developed by this kid were the first to be used in Qingzhou. Murong Yanda furrowed his brows and said, "It's really true, it's really powerful." Not only can it kill and injure mortals on a large scale, but it also has the effect of breaking the body and injuring the spirits. ”
Moreover, Ling Zhen, whom he mentioned in the court, played a vital role in his development of firearms. Wen Yanbo said, looking at Murong Yanda, "Brother Murong, no matter what, you also have a certain responsibility for this matter. ”
Murong Yanda's face was slightly ashamed: "I'm ashamed, I rescued Ling Zhen at that time, and I only had the intention of retaining talents for the country, and directly rescuing the Qin prisoner is indeed a big crime of bullying the king, and it is too late to dodge, who would have thought that Ruan Zun, this kid, was stunned and said this matter directly in the court." At this moment, it also made me in a dilemma, quite embarrassing. ”
While the two were talking, a guard came to report: "Two adults, the East Dyeing Institute has asked to see the general of the Shiheng Species!"
"Kind of Shiheng?" Wen Yanbo said, "I have never had a deep friendship with him, what is he doing in the middle of the night?"
"Anyway, it's a guest, so please come in first. Murong Yanda said, hesitating again, "Look, do I need to go to the backyard to avoid it first?"
"Not necessarily. Wen Yanbo said, "When Chong Shiheng arrives at night, he naturally already knows that you have arrived, so he chose this time to come." is too jealous of him, but it seems that we are not honest. ”
So he asked the guard to invite Chong Shiheng in.
After a while, Chong Shiheng, who was a big sword, stepped in unceremoniously, sat on the Taishi chair, and didn't speak, just looked at the two with his eyes.
"The general's late night visit must have been an urgent military matter. Wen Yanbo said.
"You two have done a good job!" said Tane Shiheng angrily.
As soon as these words came out, Wen Yanbo and Murong Yanda couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what this famous general of the imperial court meant.
Chong Shiheng is the nephew of the great Confucian Chongfang, and the former minister of state Fan Zhongyan single-handedly raised the leading general, and he became an official at a young age. And he did live up to Fan Zhongyan's high expectations, and after taking charge of the Northwest Military Affairs, the Song State's defense of Western Xia was fully strengthened. The evil consequences caused by several defeats in the early Song Dynasty and Western Xia, under his single-handed auspices, are being effectively reversed, and the military situation in the northwest has been greatly improved.
"What do you mean by this, General?" Wen Yanbo was not frightened by the other party's words, and asked quietly.
"Privately release the Qin criminals, deceive the king, regard the monarch and the Manchu dynasty as nothing, and regard the laws of the country as waste paper. The more he said, the more angry he became, "In the long run, the country will not be a country!"
Wen Yanbo was speechless, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't seem to plan to investigate this matter deeply, you are just a military general, but you came to Xingshi late at night to ask for guilt?
"It's a bit too much, isn't it?" Wen Yanbo said, "As a leading general, you should know better than me that a talent like Ling Zhen is important to the border war. ”
"Of course I know!" Chong Shiheng grabbed him by the collar, "Who can understand Ling Zhen better than me! Where is he? I want to see him!
As he spoke, Chong Shiheng's eyes flashed with great excitement.
