This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 291 This is the last time

After all, he was the emperor, Yelu Hongji questioned softly, giving people a feeling of not being angry and prestige, half a smile but not a smile.

It was very intrusive, at least in Xiao Rongrong's view, Yelu Hongji's expression concealed extreme resentment, even murderous intent.

After all, they have been a husband and wife for more than two years, Xiao Rongrong still has some understanding of her husband.

Although there is a 'fairyland' in hand, and it seems that there is real Lu standing behind him, Xiao Rongrong still lowered his head, not looking at him, and at the same time said softly: "The emperor is the master of the world, and this fairyland is not a place for human beings. The human world It’s so big, it’s far better than this small resort.”

Yelu Hongji raised his eyebrows and smiled happily, but his eyes were a little strange: "What does the empress mean, you are no longer human?"

"I naturally don't dare to pretend to be like this." Xiao Rongrong's Wanfu ceremony, which in itself means to avoid and retreat and not to compete with him: "I am just a lucky woman who accidentally got a corner of the fairy family's resort. It's hard to say, just look Just a doorman."

"There is a saying in the Song Dynasty that the prime minister's concierge is a seventh-rank official." Yelu Hongji didn't force Xiao Rongrong anymore. He knew that pushing too close would only be counterproductive: "The empress is a concierge of the fairyland, so she can be regarded as a right and wrong person. After all, even I dare not do anything to you."

Xiao Rongrong's face turned pale immediately, and of course he crouched down, bending his head and waist.

Looking at Xiao Rongrong who was still as respectful as before, Ye Lu was finally satisfied, he waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be like this, you and I are one body, why should we be so divided. It's not getting too early, so take a good rest. "

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xiao Rongrong to reply, he went straight to the outside, and then left with the imperial guards and a few father-in-laws.

After leaving the gate of Xiao's mansion, the people around saw the car going out, and immediately stepped aside.

Yelu Hongji sat in the car, lifted the curtain to look at the street, and sighed.

Since the rebel army was approaching Linhuang, everyone in the city was in danger, and they were reluctant to go out for shopping, which even affected the tax revenue of the entire Linhuang city.

He watched it for a while, and when he lowered the curtains of the car, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure passing by on the side of the street.

"Is it Zhang Zaizhi's son?"

He squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then opened the curtains again, and said to the father-in-law next to him, "follow Zhang Zaizhi's boy quietly and see what he is going to do. Then check where he has been recently. I remember he seemed There has been no commotion in the capital for a while."

No matter when, the children of these high-ranking officials and dignitaries are 'playing around' every day in the capital.

From time to time, chickens fly and dogs jump.

The father-in-law bowed and took the order.

But here, Zhang Qihan bent over and cupped his hands on the side of the street, and waited until the bus had gone far before he straightened up together with other people.

Outside Khitan, he was called Zhang Zongzhen, and in Khitan's Linhuang City, he was called Zhang Qihan.

Slightly relieved, he walked towards Xiao's mansion, unaware that there was already an extra tail behind him.

He entered Xiao's mansion, bowed outside the system's home, cupped his fists and said, "Boy of the Zhang family, please see the empress."

Not long after, Xiao Rongrong came out of the small wooden hut, wearing a thin single shirt, which was very close-fitting, with curves looming.

Zhang Qihan's heart fluttered when he saw it, but he immediately lowered his head and said: "The boy lived up to his trust and delivered the letter to Master Lu, and then Master Lu wrote another letter and asked the boy to bring it to the empress."

Xiao Rongrong was a little surprised, Lu Sen wrote a letter to himself?
She wrote to Lu Sen just to express her gratitude. If she hadn't lived in this fairy resort, she would have died long ago.

In her mind, what kind of person Lu Sen was, and which of the women who followed her was not a real fairy. She probably got his protection because of her similar appearance with one of the fairies.

So she never expected that Lu Sen would 'reply' to herself.

But now this abandoned man said that Master Lu wrote back to him!
Seeing the small box handed over, Xiao Rongrong took it solemnly, and then she said to Zhang Qihan: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for passing the message on your behalf. If you need to go to this palace in the future, please feel free to tell."

"Don't dare to dare." Zhang Qihan was waiting for this sentence, he clasped his fists and said with a smile: "The boy will leave first, I wish my mother a long life and a long life."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qihan left the Xiao Mansion.

After he walked out of the gate of Xiao's mansion, a father-in-law came out from the shadows, and walked into the palace again.

After about one stick of incense, Yelu Hongji's face was gloomy in the royal study room of the palace.

After listening to his father-in-law's report, he was extremely angry.

Holding back his anger, he waved his father-in-law away, and after the door was closed, his expression finally became distorted.

The wooden pen body held in his right hand was broken by him forcefully.

"This is really my good queen, who actually took the initiative to hook up with men outside."

But after that, his face gradually returned to normal, but there was more aggrieved eyes.

He sat in front of the case and thought for a long time, and finally called his father-in-law to come in and said: "You find a way to tell the queen without any trace, no matter what happened between him and Mr. Lu, I will not care if I don't see it, but you must let Mr. Lu know." Spit out the real thing and come out to compensate the palace, understand?"

This father-in-law retreated profusely in sweat. This is a royal family secret. If someone like me knows, how many more days can he live?

Lu Sen didn't know what happened in Jianhuang City. He looked at the information in his hand and smiled happily.

The army division of Baimaqiang Town has been wiped out by Di Qing and Mu Guiying, and captured a large number of Xixia soldiers, as well as a large amount of military supplies and war horses.

Fortunately for supplies, the Northern Song Dynasty was very rich, so there was not much shortage of ordnance supplies.

But such war horses are extremely rare.

Although Di Qing's personal guards were composed of all cavalry, they barely numbered more than a thousand.

On Mu Guiying's side, except for a small number of generals and 200 scout light cavalry, the others are all infantry.

The Northern Song Dynasty was short of horses to such an extent.

Now at least tens of thousands of war horses have been seized, and more importantly, the army and horses in Baimaqiang Town have been wiped out. Even if Helan Mountain has really fallen into the hands of the Song people, there will be no more threats around.

Lu Sen was the first to know the news, because it was Yang Jinhua who drove over to report the news.

The army and horses in Baimaqiang Town were gone, and Lu Sen suddenly felt relaxed.

The time has come here, and history has undergone real changes that can be seen with the naked eye.

The next step is to find a way to cultivate for a period of time, and then attack from Xingqing Mansion to the northwest, directly take down Xuanhua Mansion, and completely destroy the Xixia regime.

As long as Xixia is destroyed, Khitan, a half-Sinicized country, will not be an opponent of the Northern Song Dynasty at all.

In fact, the Northern Song Dynasty has always been able to deal with Khitan, and it was Xixia who made troubles by the side. Once the Northern Song Dynasty attacked Khitan, Xixia would send troops to attack Xi'an.

However, when the Northern Song Dynasty attacked Xixia, the Khitan army would overwhelm the territory, which was extremely troublesome.

But the situation is different now. Khitan is divided internally, and Xixia has been interrupted. Since then, the pressure has shifted from the Northern Song Dynasty to Xixia and Khitan.

Another day later, the news spread in Dingzhou. Lu Huiqing was overjoyed, and drafted a memorial and sent it directly to Tokyo.

About four days later, above the court hall in Bianliang City, the officials discussed a lot.

The little official blinked his smart eyes, looking at the quarreling civil servants below, a little at a loss.

No one came out to stop it.

Both Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang stayed quietly among the crowd.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Empress Dowager Cao, who was still behind the curtain, spoke: "My family, please be quiet."

The noise gradually stopped.

Through the white bead curtain, Empress Dowager Cao asked: "Really Lu regained our Han family's homeland in Xixia, and happy events came one after another. Why didn't the family of the ministers see any joy, but instead argued endlessly?"

She just opened her eyes and said she was blind, but in fact she knew why the officials were arguing.

But she just wouldn't say it.

And the civil servants also knew in their hearts that the queen mother understood, but the other party pretended to be stupid, and they had no choice.

In the end, a well-known official stood up and said with ceremony: "The Queen Mother, now all the officials are worried that if Master Lu continues to fight like this, the Xixia Kingdom may have to change his surname to Lu."

Hearing this, both Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang subconsciously sighed.

What they were most worried about was this matter, but unexpectedly, it still happened.

Empress Dowager Cao pretended to be stupid and asked: "Didn't Master Lu fight well in Xixia? Why are you worried that Xixia will be named Lu?"

All the officials in the court couldn't help scolding in their hearts.

The Empress Dowager Cao is taking revenge, revenge for not allowing her to take power in the court.

Now people don't care about it, just pretend they don't understand anything, and even mock all the officials in a weird way.

But all the officials have to bear it.

In the end, the young speech officer Mo Shaocong also stood up, bowed and said: "I report to the Queen Mother, the matter of Master Lu has indeed reached a dangerous level. If Master Lu is allowed to recover the lost land of the Han family, from now on, only Lu will be known in the Northwest." Real people don’t know that there is a court.”

"Is there such a thing?" As long as the Queen Mother Cao's voice is not deliberately majestic, it is actually quite sweet: "Actually, you can call Master Lu back. Princess Fukang in the palace has reached the age of marriage. I think Master Lu Very good, I want to marry him, what do you guys think?"

What do you think?
Feel free!
As long as the Empress Dowager Cao stays out of politics, everything is easy to talk about.

This is a private matter of the royal family, they have nothing to do with it.

And if it is true that Princess Fukang can marry Lu Sen, then at least the Zhao family will be more stable.

Seeing that there was no objection in the court, Empress Dowager Cao continued, "Then Aijia draws up an order to call Master Lu back to Beijing, okay?"

good good!
Naturally good!
The reason why the civil servants quarreled just now is very simple. Some people think that Lu Zhenren should be called back. Xixia has been beaten into a prodigal dog.

And Lu Sen's prestige was already too high, whether among the people or in the Northwest.

If there is really rebellion... then things will be troublesome.

But another group of people believed that Lu Zhenren was different from ordinary generals in that he didn't have that worldly desire.

If he really wanted to sit on the dragon chair, he would have done so long ago, and the court has nothing to do with him.

But the opponent said that there is no one in this world who is not interested in the dragon chair, and the reason why Lu Zhenren didn't sit is because the time is not enough.

Anyway, the two sides quarreled quite fiercely.

However, Grand Master Pang and Bao Zheng didn't speak, and it didn't make much sense for them to speak at this time.

The prestige of the two of them is indeed quite high, but no matter how high the prestige of the two of them is when it comes to such a major matter involving the country and society, and how much they want to help Lu Sen get the bottom line, not many people are willing to agree.

This fight lasted from morning to evening, until both parties had no energy left.

The little official sat on the dragon chair, feeling aggrieved from hunger.

Empress Cao was more comfortable. She hid behind the curtain and could eat some snacks without being seen.

She looked at the listless ministers below, and said with a smile: "Masters, why don't we do this. Let's not take away the post of military supervisor and military power of Lu Zhenren, and draw up an order to invite him back, rest for a few days, and Let Princess Fukang meet to see if we can make a couple, what do you think?"

For the Empress Dowager Cao, any major family and country affairs, such as opening up territories, have no meaning.

What she values ​​most now is nothing more than the flat peaches produced by Lu Zhenren's family.

Grand Master Pang can eat it, and the King of Runan County can eat it, so after becoming her mother-in-law, he must be able to eat it too.

So what she calculated in her mind was the marriage of Princess Fukang and the future peach.

Many people in the court could understand Empress Dowager Cao's thoughts,
But it doesn't matter, although the starting point is different, the result is the same, they all want Lu Sen to return to the capital.

However, when the document issued by Zhongshumen arrived in front of Lu Sen, he only glanced at it, then threw the document on the ground, and said to the messenger: "Go back and tell all the ministers under Zhongshumen, the entire court officials, and the junior officials. Jia and Empress Cao, don't play tricks like this in front of me, I understand what they are thinking, they are just trying to trick me back to the capital."

The courier sent by Zhongshumen salivated and did not dare to speak.

Lu Sen continued: "Aren't you afraid that I will do something about the Chenqiao mutiny, so let's spread the matter out. Before coming to Xixia, it was agreed that I would take full control of the diplomatic affairs with Xixia, so I came here to help I am fed up with your repeated inconsistencies, this is the last time, if there is another document like this or an urgent gold medal, I will not return to the capital, but I will immediately go to Khitan."

The messenger from Zhongshumen turned pale with fright on the spot, picked up the documents and crawled away.

And Lu Huiqing's face turned pale, and it took him a while to recover, and he exclaimed, "Really Lu, you are trying to pierce the sky."

"Is this called piercing the sky?" Lu Sen sneered: "You civil officials are like this, bullying the weak and fearing the hard. If it is really going to be reversed, you are more anxious than anyone else."

Lu Huiqing stopped talking immediately, because he felt that Lu Sen had stabbed him in the heart with words.

Yang Jinhua was beside him, helping Lu Sen peel the fruit, not surprising.

She is too clear about the character of her officials.

I dare not say it is a bad temper, but a typical person who can't rub the sand in his eyes, the court is indeed somewhat decent, and it is normal for officials to be angry.

A few days later, the terrified messenger returned to the capital and double-checked Lu Sen's words.

First, the entire court was frightened, and then the news was revealed, and the whole world was startled by Lu Sen's words.

In the streets and alleys, in the Hualiu wine shop, no one does not talk about it, no one cares.

Even Yelu Hongji of Khitan received the news.
