Funing Hall

After five days, Yelu Yanli finally entered the Song Palace again.

Zhang Juan dared to stop him, but he did not dare to stop Princess Jiarong, because he wanted to let the two of them in.It's just that Zhang Juan also immediately sent someone to report to His Majesty at Chongzheng Hall from another palace road.

It's a pity that His Majesty is not in Chongzheng Hall at this time, Zhao Cong just discussed something with Du Yu today, thinking that he hadn't gone to Zishan Hall for many days, so he took the time to go there.

He wanted to talk to several children today, instead of standing outside the corridor, he walked into the corridor.

Seeing this, Mr. hurriedly came out to salute. The six little radish heads were all between ten and thirteen years old. They bent down together and said in unison: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, I wish you all the best of luck."

Zhao Cong was very happy when he saw it, and said with a smile, "Get up quickly."

Zhao Cong asked them about their homework in front of the master, and they all answered very well, and the master was also honored.Zhao Cong praised a few more words and rewarded a lot of things, and then told everyone to go and relax.He was about to leave, but Zhao Zhixi came up and called him: "Seventh uncle!"

Every time Zhao Cong wants to laugh when he hears this title, but his seniority is really too big.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Cong asked with a smile.Among the six children, only Zhao Zhixi dared to talk to him.He really likes this child, he is handsome, with sharp eyes and a smart mind, and he is very talented in reading.It's just that in Zhao Cong's view, Zhao Zhixi's mind is not on the throne.

They have all entered the palace, these six children are not ordinary people, they know what this means, even if they don't know, the adults in the family know what to teach.Who wouldn't want to take that seat?Since he wanted to sit on it, he secretly competed and observed him, and he was even more nervous when facing him.

Only Zhao Zhixi acted like he was playing, which often made him dumbfounded.

"Uncle Seven, Xi'er came home yesterday, and Aunt Eight was crying at home again."

"Why?"

Master Zhao Zhixi sighed like a little adult: "Why else? Eighth Aunt thinks she is an old girl. In fact, Eighth Aunt is very young and beautiful, and her grandmother didn't urge her. Tell me, why is this?"

This is about Zhao Shuan.

Zhao Shu'an is a rare beauty, but being too beautiful has become a burden.She was frightened by Sun Zhuqing many years ago, and she is still unwilling to marry. She has a high status, and the older she gets, the less people dare to marry.She also has the thoughts that most women in the world today have, and she is very self-conscious about not being able to marry for a long time.

Zhao Cong saw that Zhao Zhixi was not pedantic at such a young age, and knew to think of Zhao Shu'an, so he liked it a little more in his heart.After all, it is the family style of Huijun Wang's family that can raise such a clear child.He couldn't help stretching out his hand to caress Zhao Zhixi's head, and said softly: "After a few days, the envoy will leave Beijing, and I will give you a few more days off. You can go back and spend more time with her."

"Okay!" Zhao Zhixi smiled happily, without any affectation, and looked up at him with a smile.

Zhao Cong was taken aback for a moment, the 11-year-old child smiled innocently.

There was also an 11-year-old kid who stayed with him all day long, but he never laughed like this.

Zhao Cong knew that someone secretly said that Zhao Zhixi looked alike to the former Xiao Shiyi, even when he entered the palace at the same age.To be honest, the two are really a bit alike, except that Xiao Shiyi looks better, but his temperament is completely opposite.

Zhao Cong occasionally didn't know if there was any reason why he treated Zhao Zhixi like this.

Smiling so innocently, Zhao Cong couldn't help stretching out his hand towards him, and led him out together, saying as he walked, "Come with me to Funing Palace to eat lotus cake."

If it were other children, I'm afraid they would have to salute and thank him politely, but Zhao Zhixi just responded happily: "Okay!" He also held Zhao Cong's hand tightly, talking to him all the way, making Zhao Cong laugh from time to time.

Yelu Yanli stopped ten feet away from them with Zhao Zhongqi in his arms.

Not far away, Zhao Cong lowered his head and talked to the young man who was holding him in his hand. Not knowing what the young man said, he stretched out his other hand.Zhao Cong wrote on the palm of his hand with his fingers, and the young man smiled and nodded.Zhao Cong withdrew his hand and fondled his forehead again.

Zhao Cong raised his head with a smile, and was about to continue walking, but he also saw the man standing in front of him.

In an instant, the warmth all over his body and the smile on his face disappeared.

Zhao Zhixi raised his head and looked at Yelu Yanli curiously.

Yelu Yanli deliberately ignored Zhao Cong's cold reception towards him, and he looked at the child.

Zhao Zhongqi kicked his short legs: "It's Zhao Zhixi!"

"Rong Rong also recognizes him?"

"Of course! Uncle likes him!" After Zhao Zhongqi finished speaking, he whispered again, "I was in Zishantang, and I overheard the maid saying that he looks like Eleventh Lang. Uncle, do you know that Eleventh Lang is Who is it? Rongrong also wants to see."

Yelu Yanli looked at the child with increasingly unfriendly eyes.

All these fell into Zhao Cong's eyes.

Zhao Cong sneered secretly, not even letting a child go.Instead, he tightened Zhao Zhixi's hand, walked towards them with big strides, approached them, and stretched out his hand: "Come, uncle hug."

Compared with the hatchback, Zhao Zhongqi naturally loves his uncle more, and she happily threw herself into Zhao Cong's arms.

Yelu Yanli didn't let go.

"Huh?" Zhao Zhongqi turned around in surprise.

Zhao Cong had to let go of Zhao Zhixi's hand, and tried to grab it with both hands.As soon as he let go of Zhao Zhixi's hand, Yelu Yanli also let go, and Zhao Zhongqi threw himself into his arms, giggling.

Zhao Cong didn't even want to act, he didn't look at Yelu Yanli again, he walked around him and wanted to leave.

"Your Majesty won't invite me to sit down?" He asked.

Zhao Cong ignored it, and didn't ask who let him in.It was Zhao Zhongqi who said: "Uncle, take Uncle to eat cakes at home!"

Zhao Cong said solemnly: "He is the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and he should be called His Majesty."

"Oh..." Zhao Zhongqi had never seen his uncle so serious before, and timidly dared not speak again.She lay on Zhao Cong's shoulder and looked at the uncle standing behind her. She thought that the uncle was leaving.Unexpectedly, Uncle followed up!She immediately smiled happily, kicking her short legs again.

Zhao Cong stopped and looked at Fu Lu.

Fu Lu nodded, and stopped in front of Yelu Yanli with the host, with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, I will send you out of the palace."

Yelu Yanli looked down at him: "I don't want to fight with you."

After all, he bypassed Fu Lu and followed Zhao Cong.

"You!!" Fu Lu rushed forward with his bodyguards, Yelu Yanli simply pulled out the scimitar at his side.Fu Lu was so angry that he didn't know what else to say. Have you ever seen someone so presumptuous in another country's palace? !

But he really didn't dare to do anything again, if there was a conflict in the palace, how would he explain it?

The two countries have not really fought yet!

He reluctantly followed Yelu Yanli.

Zhao Cong also knew that he couldn't shake it off. When he heard the movement behind him, he was so angry that he didn't want to look back.

Zhao Zhongqi also said: "Fu Lu is going to fight Uncle!"

Zhao Cong patted her on the back of the head lightly: "It's all your fault."

"Huh?" The villain didn't understand.

Zhao Cong sighed and quickened his pace even more, Zhao Zhixi followed him and also walked faster.As soon as he arrived at Funing Hall, he immediately led people in and said, "Close the door!"

"Yes!" The guard quickly closed the hall door.

Zhao Cong just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard Fu Lu exclaiming outside the hall, he quickly turned around and had a face-to-face photo with Yelu Yanli who had just crossed the wall.

Zhao Cong subconsciously wanted to ask if Ke had sprained his feet, but fortunately Yelu Yanli stared at him like he was looking at prey, he immediately came back to his senses, frowning and was about to reprimand him angrily.

Yelu Yanli had already spoken: "What are you afraid of, Your Majesty? Why don't you want to meet me?"

Zhao Cong was out of breath, did this person forget what he did back then?How dare you challenge his patience several times with a shy face? !

Zhao Cong sneered: "I have nothing to fear, please!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the main hall, Yelu Yanli followed with a blank expression.

Zhao Zhixi sensed that something was wrong, and wanted to say goodbye as soon as he arrived in the hall.

Zhao Cong sat in the first seat and said with a smile: "Keep Xi'er for fun."

"Uncle Seven, Xi'er is a bit sleepy, let's go back and rest."

"Qinfei." Zhao Cong called out, and a little maid came in after a while, and said, "Take Xi'er to the side hall to rest."

"The side hall?" Yeluyan asked.

It turned out that Zhao Cong really didn't expect that, and he didn't intend to use it to anger him, it wasn't worth it, and it was naive.But when he mentioned this, Zhao Cong couldn't help laughing: "It's the place where Shi Que lived in the past. Although Shi Que couldn't forgive me, I still miss the relationship from the past. Xi'er is even more cute than Shi Que back then, and usually The one who always rests in the side hall, I thought, why not take Xi'er here."

Zhao Zhixi is a smart man no matter how careless he is about the throne.When he first entered the palace, his grandfather also said something to avoid, so he naturally knew that Zhao Shiqi was a big taboo that must never be mentioned.He didn't dare to live in the place where Uncle Eleven lived before.

He immediately laughed and said, "Uncle Seven is really kind to Xi'er! It's just that living in Zi Shan Tang is more convenient for studying."

"Good boy, let's rest here today." Zhao Cong touched Zhao Zhixi's head again, and said to Qin Fei, "Take Xiao Lang to rest."

"Yes." Qin Fei has learned the rules for many days, and she already has a look, she leads Zhao Zhixi away, "Xiao Langjun, please."

First, the word "Shiqi" rushed straight into my mind.

Again, the three characters "Xiao Langjun" went straight to the heart.

Zhao Cong's expression was calm, and he turned to pour the tea himself, then handed it to Cha Xi, asked Cha Xi to deliver it to him, and said calmly, "Is there anyone who can't be replaced?"

Chaxi handed him the tea.

Zhao Cong looked at him, and said again: "Your Majesty, tell me, don't you?"

Yelu Yanli stared at him, and then asked in a deadpan voice, "Your Majesty thinks that he can replace the former Xiaolang?"

Zhao Cong smiled: "The whole world is full of young gentlemen, what's the big deal?"

Yelu Yanli squeezed the teacup tightly in his hand.

Zhao Cong wished to piss him off, and said plainly again: "I did raise a young man in the past, but after seeing many of these children, I know what is really good."

"The former Mr. Xiao Lang was not good?"

Zhao Cong smiled: "Your Majesty is joking."

Yelu Yanli felt relieved inexplicably.

Zhao Cong put away his smile: "It's not only bad, it's very bad! I hate him so much!"

Yelu Yanli crushed the teacup in his hand.

Zhao Zhongqi shrank into Zhao Cong's arms in fright, and Zhao Cong laughed again: "What is your Majesty doing, it's just frightening the child. If you don't like the tea in my palace, you can leave without giving it away."

Yelu Yanli was indifferent.

Zhao Cong secretly inhaled, called Fu Lu in, and told him to take Zhao Zhongqi out.

As soon as they left, Yelu Yanli said again: "Your Majesty really likes this young gentleman of Huijun Prince's Mansion very much."

"Exactly."

Yelu Yanli sneered: "The Prince Hui's mansion is well-educated, His Majesty loves it so much, it makes me very curious, and I can't help but want to get closer."

Zhao Cong was secretly wary, not knowing what he meant by this.

Yelu Yanli said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I'm a little old, but I'm not yet married. Why don't you be a matchmaker for me?"

Zhao Cong clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, his nails sank into the flesh of his palms, so that he could calmly ask: "Which young lady does Your Majesty take a fancy to?"

He smiled: "Your Majesty praises the family style of Huijun Wang's family, I want to marry Le'an County Lord."

It took Zhao Cong a long time to grit his teeth and say, "Are you crazy?"

"I can marry my fifth younger sister to Li Liangcheng, so why doesn't your majesty want to marry the county magistrate Le'an to me? Don't worry, your majesty, I will definitely not treat her badly."

"Li Liangcheng doesn't even know who his master is, so His Majesty compares himself with him?!"

After listening to Zhao Cong's voice, Yelu Yanli finally had ups and downs. Knowing the fate, he immediately said: "Your Majesty does not want to appoint Li Liangcheng as emperor, but I have no problem. I intend to canonize him as Emperor of Xixia. But if If His Majesty doesn’t like it, I will make him the lord of the country and treat him as a minister, so that he will still pay tribute to the Song Dynasty. If Your Majesty can give me the Lord of Le’an County, I will leave him alone, how about it?”

Zhao Cong was so angry that it was hard to hide his face.

"Are you threatening me?!" Threatening him with Xixia? !

The angrier he got, the more excited Yelu Yanli became, shaking his head and saying, "No, I'm just discussing with His Majesty."

This is called negotiating?

Zhao Cong's temper that had been cultivated for many years was finally broken. He picked up his own teacup and threw it at Yelu Yanli, angrily saying in a low voice, "Get out!"

Yelu Yanli didn't dodge at all, he just watched the cup of tea fall on him, stained with tea leaves all over his body.

"Get out! If you don't get out, I'll kill you!"

Yeluyan wanted to make him angry, but he didn't want to make him too angry. Seeing Zhao Cong's face turned pale, he stood up and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, I'll see you tomorrow."

Come tomorrow? !

Zhao Cong picked up the teapot again and wanted to smash it, but Yelu Yanli had already turned around, but turned back and stood where he was, as if waiting for him to smash it.

Zhao Cong suddenly came back to his senses.

He calmly put down the teapot, turned and walked into the inner room without looking at it again.

After all, Yelu Yanli left the palace.

It's just that he finally found Zhao Cong's life gate, and found that Zhao Cong didn't care about him anymore, and was even more angry that Zhao Zhixi came out of Huijun Prince's Mansion, taking his place in Zhao Cong's heart.As soon as he returned to Dutingyi, he sent officials to Huijun Prince's Mansion to propose marriage.

He knew that Zhao Kelu would never agree.

He also has no interest in Zhao Shu'an, he is just greedy for Zhao Cong scolded by him in anger, only in this way can he feel that Zhao Cong still cares about him.

As he expected, Zhao Kelu naturally did not agree.

Zhao Kelu and the others hadn't met him face to face, and they didn't know who he was. When they heard that Emperor Liao came to propose marriage, they were almost terrified.The fool also knows that this is a weasel's New Year's greetings, and he has no good intentions!He didn't dare to let his daughter know that even though the Liao officials and guards came aggressively, they seemed to refuse to leave without accepting the gift.

He still sent people to strictly guard the gate of the mansion, but he hurriedly changed his clothes and entered the palace from the back door of the mansion to beg to see His Majesty.

When Zhao Cong heard about this, he almost smashed the teacup in his hand.

Zhao Kelu knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, what should I do? After all, the opponent is Emperor Liao. I dare not refuse rashly, so please come forward."

Zhao Cong sneered: "Second Brother, you don't have to be afraid."

"His Majesty?"

"I will tell the second brother, does the second brother know who this Liao emperor is?"

"Yes, who is it?"

"He is the former Zhao Shiqi!!"

Zhao Kelu was so frightened that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He was almost 50 years old, and this was the first time he encountered such a thing.

"He's a lunatic now, Second Brother don't care about him. Let's see how long he can go crazy!"

When Zhao Kelu heard that it was Zhao Shiqi, he was shocked, but at the same time relieved.No matter what is wrong with it, his daughter and Zhao Shiqi have been cousins ​​for more than ten years, and Zhao Shiqi is not such a beast.

In other words, he came here for His Majesty?

Zhao Kelu looked at Zhao Cong worriedly, hesitant to speak.

"What does the second brother want to say?"

"If the two countries go to war."

"Since he has the guts to come back, I will never let him live again."

Zhao Kelu bowed his hands, had nothing to say, and withdrew.

As soon as he left, Zhao Cong was both angry and anxious.

Right in the Kaifeng mansion, if you really want to kill him, it's not difficult, if you send a hundred thousand forbidden soldiers to surround Duting post, are you afraid you won't be able to kill him?

Zhao Cong spoke sonorously and forcefully in front of others, and repeatedly persuaded him in his heart, and even discussed with Zhang Juan how to arrange it.

In fact, only he himself knows that he still can't make this move.
