Yan Zhiming replied respectfully: "As you said, I have been escorted back to Jinan Mansion by a few loyal junior disciples. ”
Lu Qingdu nodded slightly: "How is Uncle Song's preparations?"
Yan Zhiming hurriedly said: "All preparations have been made, as long as you give an order, Senior Brother Song can rush to Dadu within two hours." ”
The twelfth day of the first month.
In the early morning, the white rainbow runs through the sun.
Lu Qingdu was wearing a Taoist robe, his brows furrowed slightly, this is not a good sign, when Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, Yan Shui was separated, there was this scene, Jing Ke planned to give up the assassination, but he was urged by the prince Dan, and finally had no choice but to go on the road, but he failed and was killed.
Yan Zhiming observed his words and expressions on the side, and asked cautiously, "Viewer, is there anything wrong?"
Lu Qingdu waved his hand: "It's nothing, let's go, Uncle Cui will trouble you for today's Jiao." ”
Cui Zhifang stroked his beard: "It's not troublesome, and there is nothing else that can help you." ”
He knew the inside story and the purpose of Lu Qingdu's trip, but Yan Zhiming, who didn't know what was going on, was a little puzzled, was this not a help?
Buildings.
In front of the Manshou Palace, Chitose Sai.
Cui Zhifang sat on the Dharma platform, and there were forty-nine Taoist priests sitting cross-legged at the bottom, he was already in clear shape, and at this time, with a foil, he looked more and more immortal.
Stepping on the gang, Cui Zhifang had a word, Naima Zhen took the palace maid to hold a small stove on the side, not like praying for blessings, but like watching a play, but her status was noble, and no one dared to jump out and accuse.
At noon, Cui Zhifang had just burned the green words, and suddenly there was a noisy sound outside the palace, Naima was really angry, and she scolded: "Who is making noise?"
A guard hurriedly replied: "Niangniang, it is Lord Yelu Chucai, who led a group of civil officials to kneel outside the palace, claiming that if you don't see the Great Khan today, you will never leave!"
Naima was really furious: "It's against him! The Great Khan reused him, it was to give him face, he really thought that he was a Khitan, what was there to be proud of? Come on, tie him up to the palace!"
The guards should claim that it was, but a white-faced middle-aged man flashed out behind Gong E, who was the one who tested Lu Qingdu's martial arts in Changchun Palace that day, and he hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, Yelu Chucai is an old minister of the two dynasties, if you disrespect him today, I am only afraid of endless troubles in the future." ”
Naima Zhen frowned and said, "Then what do you say?"
The middle-aged man said calmly: "It's better to summon him to the temple first, ask one or two, and say a few perfunctory words." ”
Naima really hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Well, go and bring the Zhongshu Order to the palace, remember, he is alone." After a pause, she added, "Knife and axe hands, prepare." ”
There were hundreds of guards hiding behind the palace, Qi claimed that it was, Yan Zhiming was panicked when he saw it, he swallowed his saliva, looked at Lu Qingdu and said: "Lord, I am afraid that today's Jiao will not end well." ”
Lu Qingdu didn't pay attention to him, at this time, Yelu Chucai had already walked up to the palace, he bowed, respectfully asked a question mark, and then said: "Queen Mother, the old minister has never seen the Great Khan since the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month last year, Confucianism has a saying, if you don't see it for a day, it is like every other autumn, and the old minister sees that the nose is going to enter the ground, and he is about to die, but I am afraid that there will be no more days to live, I don't know if the queen can be gracious, so that Lao Chen can see the face of the sky?"
Pretending to be pitiful? Naima really sneered, this is all left over from my palace fight, she said coldly: "Lord Yelu, are you insinuating and secretly cursing the Great Khan?"
Yelu Chucai was startled, and hurriedly said: "The old minister has no such intention, and the mother also asks Mingjian." ”
Naima Zhen snorted coldly, his face was slightly pale, and he continued: "In this case, Lord Yelu still has the right to go back to the house first, and the matter of the Great Khan is decided by the palace." ”
Yelu Chucai bowed his head and said: "Queen Mother, although the old minister can return to the house, the nearly 100 civil officials outside the palace may not be willing. ”
Naima was really furious: "Yelu Chucai, are you threatening this palace?"
Yelu Chucai's face was calm: "The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister is just doing his duty as a courtier, the position of the prince is unstable, and the old minister is only afraid that there may be waves in the future." ”
Naima Zhen looked at Yelu Chucai, his eyes were cold, if his eyes could kill, he was afraid that he would have received thousands of lunches, and the latter was neither humble nor arrogant, half-bent over, and did not raise his head.
After a while, Naimazhen suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, since Lord Yelu is so persistent, then the right will be later." ”
Yelu Chucai was stunned, he glanced at Naimazhen in surprise, and then lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”
Twilight.
After a busy day, Cui Zhifang stopped moving, he felt convulsions all over his body, his muscles were sore, and he was weak to accept Naima's reward, he stepped aside and hurriedly meditated.
Naima Zhen said loudly: "This time Zhaijiao, all the Taoist elders have worked hard, and the palace has its own reward, but now, come here, give a feast!"
As she spoke, a group of palace eunuchs served all kinds of dishes like swimming fish, exquisite, never eaten, and the taste was already extraordinary, and the Taoist priests took their seats one after another, but Yelu Chucai, who was standing on the side, was a little embarrassed.
From noon to now, for two whole hours, he has not moved at all, and the water and rice have not touched his teeth, which is really a great test for an old man who is close to old age, and he seems to have forgotten him at this time.
Lu Qingdu's eyes flowed, and Yan Zhiming on the side suddenly said, "Lord, it's getting dark." ”
The little fat man raised his eyebrows slightly, and Yang Guo asked curiously, "Is it dark?"
Naima Zhen ignored the eyes of the middle-aged man on the side, raised his wine glass and said, "Everyone... ”
Before she finished speaking, there was a sudden bang, which shook the cups and plates, and the wine glass in Nai Ma Zhen's hand fell to the ground in fright, and she yelled angrily: "What the hell is going on?"
No one answered, and the Taoist priests muttered in a low voice, "What's the matter?
"Where are you fighting the pen, this is the sound of the cannon, I heard that it was first studied by the Song people, and later introduced to the Jin Kingdom, and Genghis Khan has been using it when he went west. ”
"What a cannon, how can Ouchi have a cannon?"
Naima really lost his temper, everyone in the hall was silent, and after about half a cup of tea, a guard with a bloody face ran in in a panic: "Niangniang, it's not good, Prince Guiyou besieged Donghuamen with his own private soldiers, and said that if he didn't see the Great Khan today, he would lead his troops to kill in the Great Inner Palace!"
Naima was really furious: "Rebel, is he crazy?" She was suddenly stunned, glanced at Yelu Chucai, and thought of the words of the old man, Naima Zhen pointed at Yelu Chucai and said: "Come on, put this palace into the prison!"
Yelu Chucai was a little panicked at this time, although he was arrogant, but he also understood one thing, there was a bottom line for what he did, he dared to force the palace today, it seemed to be risky, but in fact he was completely sure, he was on the blade, but he was not afraid that he would be hurt, but who would have thought that at this juncture, Guiyou mutinied, and the same reason as himself, Naima Zhen would definitely think that he and Guiyou were grasshoppers on a rope, and the only way to deal with rebellion since ancient times was death.
After disposing of Yelu Chucai, Naima Zhen ordered the palace maid to bring the head of the guards he trusted, and then looked at Lu Qingdu and said, "Dao Chief, the matter has come to this, what do you teach me?"
Lu Qingdu made a mockery, and then shouted to the Taoist priests: "You fellow disciples, the queen is in trouble right now, although we are all monks and cultivators, and we should not be contaminated with the cause and effect of the world, but we must not turn a blind eye and listen to it, listen to my orders, guard the door, have nothing to do with people, etc., and cannot be put here." ”
The crowd shouted in unison: "Yes, obey the order of the Lord." ”
Yan Zhiming glanced at Lu Qingdu, and then went to the door with the group road, when Yang Guo was leaving, he looked at Lu Qingdu and stopped, the latter smiled, shook the dust in his hand, and turned to leave.
Yang Guo was stunned, came to his senses, and looked at the lights in the distance, his eyes dripping and rolling.
Coming to Naima Zhen, Lu Qingdu said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, you and Prince Guiyou are biological mother and son, and this khanate will definitely belong to him in the future, why does he have to mutiny at this time?"
Before Naima Zhen could speak, the middle-aged man said: "According to the report from the spies, a few days ago, Prince Guiyou vomited blood in the palace garden, and His Royal Highness has been sick since he was a child. ”
Before he finished speaking, Lu Qingdu was stunned, and Naima Zhen said with a calm face: "Now that the soldiers are pressing the border, the rebel son has invaded the inner city, how can the palace deal with itself?"
Lu Qingdu smiled and said: "Don't be angry, Niangniang, it's better to wait for your supporters to come first, and then it's not too late to discuss." ”
