40. The Song Dynasty Night Talk
Yao Xia pursed her lips, obviously not going to mention this matter in front of outsiders. The little beggar is also a person with vision. She helped Lin Yuan sit down, and then went to the front to check the situation. She still left the window.
Lin Yuan didn't care about himself, and quickly asked what he said just now. Yao Xia bit her lip and said, "I know a friend, who has cured my illness for me. King Ning said before that my illness must be his, but in fact..."
Before she finished speaking, Mu Len at the window was gently knocked. The little beggar who had just saved them stood under the window with awkward eyes, coughed lightly, and said, "Sister-in-law, I forgot to take the man on the ground away just now. He was just poisoned by Doctor Song, and the person was frozen, and he was not dead."
Lin Yuan and Yao Xia turned to look at him, and the little beggar suddenly blushed and jumped in quickly. He carried the secret guards who had fallen to the ground and ran out.
After the little beggar's interruption, the atmosphere in the room eased a little. Lin Yuan understood that King Ning might have concealed some truth about the Yin meridian solution. He had vaguely doubted this before, but he had no choice but to the world that he had made friends with. Even if he was suspicious, there was no way. They obviously had a quarrel with King Ning tonight, but compared to this, Lin Yuan was more concerned about what the little beggar said just now.
Mr. Hong, sister-in-law? Who is Mr. Hong? What does sister-in-law mean?
Lin Yuan looked at Yao Xia with a burning gaze. Yao Xia was suddenly overwhelmed, hesitated for a moment, and told Lin Yuan about Hong Yue's affairs, hiding the deviance that night, focusing on Hong Yue's several times of saving and killing Lu Huafeng.
Her sister has always been Wen Jingxianshu. Even if she decides her life with others, she will not do anything too outrageous. Lin Yuan didn't think too much. As for the part of what Yao Xia said, Lin Yuan's impression of Hongyue was so good that it was not as good as that of ordinary people. Although the identity of a killer was a bit difficult for ordinary people to accept, as for Lu Huafeng's affairs, he could completely regard this person as a powerful martial arts master. This dynasty values culture over military affairs, but the influence of the martial arts world should not be underestimated. Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt much more comfortable.
Tonight's incident was really outrageous. As soon as Lin Wenying woke up, she learned the truth, she didn't even care about the pair of children holding each other, and put on court uniforms overnight and pressed Lin Yuan into the palace. Emperor Hongqing was warm and warm in his arms, and was awakened by a smell of slept. Before she could get angry, she was frightened and was scared out of cold sweat. The atrium was brightly lit, and she urgently ordered the guards in the capital to strictly investigate and seize King Ning at all costs.
Originally, if someone came to report the news, Emperor Hongqing would not be able to remember it in his heart. Afterwards, he was awarded the title and rewarded the officials. However, the Lin family, the one who came to report the news was the Lin family, the one who was sure of Ning Wang's in-laws. He was extremely disgusted. But he killed his relatives for justice and could not even scold him. He had to praise him very much. However, King Ning didn't know what the situation was. Emperor Hongqing was upset and simply saved this section.
Ning Wang was really a cautious person. The things he arranged in front of Lin Yuan were fake. The confidant who was left in Bian Jing was not at home at all. As soon as the court came, he immediately notified the spies in the city. As soon as the news came, the spies everywhere quickly retreated, causing Emperor Hongqing's men to rush out. The city that King Ning left at noon, and didn't even know what direction he had gone. The officials in the capital were so anxious that they were bubbled, but they still couldn't get any news about Ning Wang.
The officials of the half-day dynasty who originally supported King Ning seemed to be mute. Fortunately, King Ning's previous arrangements were very careful and had done things under King Ning's hands. Except for them, they knew each other well, outsiders had no idea. King Ning also had the intention to be a human being and had no more back-ups. These people were mute and could not say a word of good words to King Ning on weekdays. Emperor Hongqing was so upset that he did not realize that his court was quiet.
When he returned home, facing his father with a heavy face, Lin Yuan no longer wanted to say anything. His young face was full of fatigue and confusion. He was sitting on the chair, but it seemed to be shrinking into a ball. Yao Xia poured him a cup of tea and comforted him softly, "Brother is for me, I understand, and now he will stop the loss in time."
Lin Yuan held the tea, wiped his face for a while, and nodded fiercely.
Lin Wenying sighed, and just as he was about to say something, Yao Xia shook his head at him, "So many things have happened today, it's already messy enough. Dad, don't talk about state affairs anymore. Even if King Ning really holds troops to become emperor, it's not easy to fight to Bianjing. Even if our family finds a place to live in seclusion? The whole family is together, right?"
"Okay, let's not talk about state affairs, we have saved the righteous men who have just saved..." Lin Wenying had just started talking, and saw Lin Yuan's strange face. Yao Xia bit her lip, stamped her feet, and turned around and left the main hall.
Lin Wenying was confused. Lin Yuan coughed lightly and explained to his father: "Dad, this is actually the case..."
...
Hongyue has been leaving for a whole month, and this month is as unseen as when he did not appear. Many things have happened this month. First, King Ning was in power in Yingtian Prefecture, and then Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao refused to negotiate and insisted on sending troops south to attack Song. Even the Jin Dynasty showed signs of joining forces with Liao to destroy Song. Under internal and external troubles, Emperor Hongqing fell ill without accident and closed the door and drank and had fun with his concubines all day.
The officials in the court were first frustrated by King Ning. They were about to cheer up the spirit and revitalize the court, but Emperor Hongqing used this trick. How could they be so sad and even had the heart to be active and were already quietly preparing for a way out. In just one month, there were more than a dozen officials who escaped from Bianjing to Yingtian Prefecture to follow King Ning.
Lin Wenying was one of the two prefectures and three departments. Naturally, he knew the current situation of the court so much that he could not understand it anymore. Emperor Hongqing had made up his mind to be a king who was destroyed and kept all the court memorials away. However, he did not have the order of the emperor. It was disrespectful for the officials to make decisions without authorization. After being coldly treated several times, the officials with real power were a little disappointed.
However, at this critical moment, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom came to Bianjing tremble. The first sentence was to have peace talks. Emperor Hongqing, who was so shocked that he had not left the door for many days, personally met the envoy of the Liao Kingdom. However, the even more surprising thing was still behind. The envoy of the Liao Kingdom not only wanted peace talks, but also proposed the conditions for the Liao Kingdom to ced the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
Sixteen states of Yanyun!
If it weren't for the Liao envoy's surname Xiao, who had also come to urge the New Year's money in previous years, Emperor Hongqing would almost think that this person was invited to make him happy. He was so shocked that his eyebrows stood up from the dragon throne, and asked in a trembling voice: "There are no other conditions?"
All the civil and military officials also looked at the Liao envoy with bright eyes. The Liao envoy was almost crying, "Another, reduce the monies of three more years..."
Emperor Hongqing's voice was high: "Three years of monies!"
Hearing his tone, the tone of the Liao envoy also became fierce, "Our Majesty said that only these conditions are there, and he will not give a penny if he has more. If your country does not have land, even if the entire clan of the Liao royal family is destroyed, they will not regress again!"
Emperor Hongqing widened his eyes. He wanted to say that he did not mean that, but officials below saw the clues. Lin Yuan stood out from the queue and asked, "If the Song Dynasty agreed to your conditions, will you really return the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to us?"
"As long as your country is willing to sign this letter of peace talks, we will immediately withdraw from the Sixteen State of Yanyun. One month is enough for you to take over. I hope your country will keep its promise, release our Queen Mother and hand over the antidote."
Emperor Hongqing was a little confused and asked subconsciously: "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Xiao? What antidote?"
The messenger below was even more angry. He took out the letter of the country from his arms, pointed to the beautiful handwriting of Song characters and Khitan characters on it, and said gritting his teeth: "It is said that the Song knights are open and honest, but they have committed the act of kidnapping the empress dowager in our country and poisoning the royal family. Why are you pretending to be stupid now?"
As soon as these words were said, the officials below could no longer stop talking. Lin Yuan also widened his eyes. It would be fine if these officials in the court had no idea about the world, but he knew something about it. The so-called heroes violated the ban with martial arts, and the palaces of various countries were extremely strict, and there were not many experts in the world. Therefore, even if the power of the world has been great for so many years, no one has ever thought of such a thing.
There are martial arts masters in the Song State, but does the Liao State have no? Obviously, this time the infiltrated into the Liao State's palace and kidnapped Empress Dowager Xiao, and poisoned the royal family. In addition to his high martial arts, poisoning skills should be awesome, otherwise the entire Liao State would not have left the helpless, and now it is time to ced the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as a retreat.
Emperor Hongqing was so happy that he couldn't even open his eyes. He was fartful at the accusations of the Liao envoy. He was happy to submit the letter of the country and read it carefully. He looked at it in front of him more and more and more. He turned over two pages, but was stunned. He read it again and again, confirming that he was not wrong, and signed two letters of the country with a very strange expression.
When the envoy of the Liao Kingdom received the signed letter of the country, he was relieved. With confidence, he spoke more normally, just like the arrogant and arrogant person who came to urge the tribute to the year, he was a bit sarcastic. "You Song Kingdom is good at the land and soil, and you raise all beauties who harm the country and the people. I wonder if you can let this envoy see what this beauties worthy of the Sixteen State of Yanyun look like?"
Emperor Hongqing was in a good mood, and it didn't prevent him from facing the Liao people. He agreed all over his mouth, and the civil and military officials in the court were confused. Only Lin Yuan had a little guess and his brows furrowed.
The author has something to say: Hongyue: I can’t afford to give it to the world, but Yanyun’s Sixteen Prefectures are still OK.
Hongyue: She must like it very much.
Yao Xia:...I thought that if I took the script of the world, I would not have to be scolded to harm the country and the people.
