Chapter 86 The tug of war between envoys from three countries

When they came to the backyard, the dug pond had not yet filled with water. Cheng Yutang blushed and banged the rockery beside him with his helmet.

"Sister Cheng, it was really out of necessity just now, no offense intended!" Liu Yuanhui stepped forward and said.

When Cheng Yutang saw Liu Yuanhui coming over, he quickly put the helmet back on his head and lowered the brim of the hat.

"I know, it's okay, but don't tell anyone!" Cheng Yutang said shyly.

"That's nature, that's nature! Hehehehe..." Liu Yuanhui looked around and said.

"Here," Cheng Yutang pointed to the pond at his feet and said, "I plan to bring in Bianhe River water from one side of the pond and lead it out from the other side, so that this pond will always have living water, and we can raise some goldfish and plant some lotus flowers. .”

"Very good! Very good!" Liu Yuanhui said.

"I wonder if the pond is big enough?" Cheng Yutang asked next.

"Just right! Just right!" Liu Yuanhui said casually.

"A circle of bamboo fence was built around the pond, and the road was paved with bluestone slabs," said Cheng Yutang.

"It's up to you! It's up to you!" Liu Yuanhui said perfunctorily.

Seeing Liu Yuanhui's attitude, Cheng Yutang raised his eyebrows angrily, frowned and pouted, "Young Master Liu! You are so casual, how can I safely preside over the construction of this calligraphy and painting appreciation pavilion!"

Seeing that Cheng Yutang was anxious, Liu Yuanhui said quickly: "Sister Cheng, don't be anxious! In fact, this appreciation pavilion was not built for me, but for you! I have already thought of the name! It's called 'Yutangzhai', you What do you think?"

"Master Liu, don't be ridiculous!" Cheng Yutang said in shock.

"You see how nonsense I am! Yuanhui is so busy in the Cuju and tea industry that he has no time to spare, so he hopes to hand over this calligraphy and painting appreciation pavilion to Sister Cheng!" Liu Yuanhui said.

"How can you rest assured if you leave it to me?" Cheng Yutang said.

"My sister Cheng's business ability is clear to me, and this place is specially provided for literati. Yuanhui knows that sister Cheng loves calligraphy and painting. While running the business, Sister Cheng can also exchange music, chess, calligraphy and painting with other scholars. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" Liu Yuanhui said.

Cheng Yutang looked around and remained silent.

She imagined how beautiful this place would be after it was completed, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Liu Yuanhui continued: "Last time, Yuanhui collected a batch of calligraphy and paintings, and planned to exhibit them here and sell them to dignitaries. Part of the proceeds will be distributed to the authors, and the rest will be used as the income of the calligraphy and painting academy."

"Aren't you afraid that some untalented people will use their skills to make up the numbers?" Cheng Yutang asked next.

"Hahahaha, then it depends on your and my appreciation ability!" Liu Yuanhui said with a smile.

"With tens of thousands of buildings in Guangzhou, all the poor people in the world will be happy!" Cheng Yutang took off his helmet and covered his face and said with a smile.

"Yuanhui certainly doesn't have the sentiments of Du Fu, a poet, but he is still interested in win-win cooperation with these literati. In addition..." Liu Yuanhui said as he stepped forward and gently put the helmet on Cheng Yutang's head again.

Dang Dang Dang, Liu Yuanhui knocked three times and said: "I said, you can't take off the helmet casually here, and don't forget it again!"

"Okay." Cheng Yutang replied softly.

"Let's go somewhere else!" Liu Yuanhui said and strolled away.

Cheng Yutang stood there and felt a warm current welling up in his heart.

She lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, pursed her lips together, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

“I didn’t expect this man to be so considerate.”

Cheng Yutang thought about it, adjusted the helmet on his head, and followed with small steps.

……

At this time, inside the palace.

"Yelugu Lan, envoy of the Great Liao Kingdom!"

"Wanyan Honglie, envoy of the Kingdom of Jin!"

"The Xixia envoy Tuoba declined!"

"Meet the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"

The loud voices of several envoys resounded throughout Ziwei Palace.

The peaceful center of the Song Dynasty suddenly felt the wind and rain.

The Xixia envoys knelt down and worshiped, while the Liao and Jin envoys stood upright.

"Bold! Why did the Liao and Jin envoys see that our Song Dynasty monarch was undefeated!" Tong Guan scolded angrily.

"After the Chanyuan Alliance, when did I, the envoy of the Liao Dynasty, kneel down when he came to the Song Dynasty!" Yelu Gulan said.

"Even the Khitans won't kneel, and I, Dajin, can't even kneel!" Wanyan Honglie said.

"How dare you insult my Khitan clan!"

"The Khitans are retreating steadily under the iron heel of our Kingdom of Jin, so what if I humiliate you!"

Immediately, the envoys of the two countries rolled up their sleeves and started to take action.

"Both Jin and Liao are our good neighbors in the Song Dynasty! There is no need to be polite between brothers! Let alone fight! The envoys of Xixia should also get up quickly!" Song Huizong stopped him loudly on the dragon throne.

"Hmph! How can our century-old foundation of the Liao Dynasty be shaken by you and other people in the mountains!" Yelu Gulan took the lead and said: "Your Majesty! Our Emperor Yelu Yanxi takes advantage of the good fortune of the Song and Liao Dynasties for a hundred years, and is willing to join forces with the heavenly soldiers of our brothers to destroy them together. Savage Jurchen!"

"Hmph! What a fragile century-old foundation!" Wanyan Honglie said with a contemptuous smile: "Your Majesty, my Emperor Wanyan Aguda has defeated the Khitan army! I am willing to avenge the Song Dynasty for a hundred years of Chanyuan, and hope to unite the Song Dynasty's heavenly troops from the north and south The Khitans will be driven out by a flanking attack, and the Song and Jin Dynasties will have a good relationship for a hundred years!"

"Two envoys, our three families are good neighbors and we should live in peace! Why are we going to war! I have prepared a banquet in Jiying Hall to entertain the three envoys. That's it for today!" After saying this, Song Huizong stood up and left. .

"Retreat from the court!" The child's sharp voice came from the bed next to the dragon chair.

Outside the main hall, a group of people left the palace one after another.

"Damn it! This Zhao Ji is really a master of talking to each other. He talked a lot of nonsense! It's useless!" said a man dressed as a servant behind Wanyan Honglie.

"Fourth Prince! Don't say this loudly! We are in the Song Dynasty Palace!" Wanyan Honglie said in a low voice to the servant behind him respectfully.

"Hmph! So what about the palace in Songdu! Sooner or later, I, Wanyan Sheng, will personally lead my Jurchen cavalry to level this place!" Wanyan Sheng, Wanyan Aguda's fourth brother, looked around the huge Ziwei Palace.

"Uncle Gulan, what nonsense are we talking to that Nanman in dragon robes! I jumped directly onto his dragon chair and put the knife on his neck to see if he dared to obey!" The Jin envoy said. From the Liao envoy in the distance, another thin servant said to Yelu Gulan.

"Princess Feixue, don't talk nonsense! This is not a place for your willfulness! With the help of the Song Dynasty, there is still room for maneuver in the northern battlefield!" Yelu Gulan said softly.

"Hmph! Why didn't the emperor listen to me? Five years ago, he abandoned his army and fled while protecting Bu Dagang. As a result, our Liao army was defeated! What a pity, I was only thirteen years old that year!" The speaker's face was as white as snow. , so heroic.

Yelu Yanxi, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom, was addicted to wine and sex, and was mediocre and incompetent. However, he had such a little sister Yelu Feixue, who practiced martial arts since childhood, was resourceful, and was both civil and military.

Tuoba Sheng, who was walking at the end, said to the attendants behind him: "Everyone is honest! Don't mess with those Jurchens and Khitan people. After the banquet is over, go back to Blackwater City!"
