Chapter 710 Scarlet marks

5days ago traverse Novels 2
Wang Pu got out of the imperial city from the corridor on the east side of Xuande Gate and got on a carriage.

He was a civil servant, but he didn't have much tidiness. He only had a purple robe on his body, and his official uniform was rather gorgeous, with no valuable ornaments. His goat beard on his mouth was also messy.

The carriage I was riding in was even more simple, the wing board was not painted, and a bamboo curtain was hung on the window, which was not very popular.

I walked to the entrance of the ceremony hall and stopped for a while.Then he saw Li Xin walking out of the ceremony hall. Li Xin's eyes were particularly pointed, and he recognized Wang Pu's carriage at a glance, and immediately walked over with his horse.

Wang Pu lifted the bamboo curtain with his hand and looked at Li Xin who was approaching.Li Xin held his fists beside the car and bowed: The king's rebirth of his envoy is unforgettable.

Wang Pu looked inhumane and said: That big cannibal is not generous, and none of the tributes are useful.You must be careful to do this, this is something your Majesty personally told.

Li Xin nodded quickly and bowed and said in a deep voice: Lu Yongzhen, who can translate the divine words, must have been dealing with the cannibal for a long time if he can learn the different languages.He was also a Han native, so he was able to win over him, so he wanted to start with Lu Yongzhen first.

Wang Pu dined and didn't say anything. He slapped the wooden board in front and asked the groom to drive the car.Li Xinze stood by the street for a long time, bent down and kept the worship.

Wang Pu turned around and looked at the tall Xuande Gate gate of the imperial city, put down the bamboo curtain, sat in the car and closed his eyes.

He was very disappointed. Although he was very concerned about obtaining shipbuilding techniques on the surface, Wang Pu felt less comfortable than the major events that were related to the rise and fall of the country, such as the northern expedition of Liao, which was related to the rise and fall of the country.

Why Wei Renpu?Although Wang Pu thought Wei Renpu was also talented, he was even worse than himself in terms of wisdom!

Could it be that the Northern Expedition was wrong at the beginning of the year, and the emperor deliberately neglected himself?Wang Pu thought about it and said that the strategy at the beginning of the year was obviously His Majesty insisted, but Wang Pu's attitude was just not opposed.

Or are you not respectful enough to Guo Shao?

Wang Pu knew that he was like that to everyone, and he was not as good as others in front of the emperor.

Guo Shao doesn't seem to be a person who cares about minor matters... but it's not clear that the people who sit on the throne attach great importance to prestige, for fear that someone will provoke and affect his power.

Wang Pu remembered people like Shi Yanchao again, and was very obedient to the emperor's words. He always felt that Shi Yanchao was not actually a reckless man.

Wang Pu sighed, but he felt relieved when he remembered that the Northern Expedition was still smooth.

...In Jinxiang Hall, Fu Jinzhan took the letter written by Guo Shao and read it carefully several times before putting it away.

There was no word to her, because these letters were first sent to the Privy Council, but they were also familiar words from Guo Shao.

It is indeed not very good-looking, but it has an advantage that is easy to recognize, and it is very rigorous in every stroke.

At this time Fu Jinzhan left the East Palace and issued an order to go to the study of the emperor of the West Palace to check the files.

She walked east along the long corridor on the backbone of Jinxiang Hall.The oncoming palace servant knelt directly beside the road because the corridor was not spacious, and was very respectful.

Fu Jinzhan dragged her long skirt with her hands in front of the ribbon, and walked slowly with a straight face. Everyone in the palace was very respectful of her.

She was the queen in the previous dynasty, with a deep foundation in the palace and a respected status. She was not a powerful woman who was afraid of, but most people knew that she could not afford to offend a woman who could walk to the front hall to get involved in the government affairs!

When he walked into the West Hall, Fu Jinzhan was immediately attracted by the large and small terrain map of the Yuyun hanging on the wall. Even though Guo Shao had been away from Beijing for a long time, he could still feel that he was extremely concerned about the hard work as soon as he came in.

Fu Jinzhan gave a few casual instructions, and Cao Tai hurried to find the file himself.

She stood beside the imperial desk and waited, and found signs of wear on the left edge, but there was no on the right... Because when using a brush with her right hand, her arm could not be placed on the desk in a regular posture.

Fu Jinzhan held the imperial desk quietly and gently stroked the grated place with his fingertips.

Thinking of the smooth progress of the Northern Expedition, she couldn't help but think of Guo Shao's previous promises.

What will happen if this big thing is done...

Suddenly, Fu Jinzhan's mood suddenly became a little out of control.An unspeakable possessiveness surged in my heart!

Yes, when she is peaceful and wise, she will first consider grudges, the overall situation and other principles. She also considers herself a woman who has seen the world and knows the general.

But once your emotions get stuck, they will be influenced by something in your heart.

She thought that person belonged to her!Whenever I ask the official family who is here tonight with a smile, I feel good?Her people are sleeping with other women, and they are inseparable from others...

Fu Jinzhan took a deep breath and calmed herself down with all her strength.

She repeatedly told herself that it is already common for aristocratic families to have many wives and concubines, not to mention that the founding emperor is a major event that concerns the country and the world.

I am used to the stormy and alternating power and the barbaric scenes of chaos and soldiers, so I shouldn’t dream of dreams, and those things that only ignorant young ladies would believe.

Perhaps, the signs of success in the Northern Expedition and Guo Shao's sincere promise gave hope.People are never satisfied.

……

In the third year of Xuanren and the twelfth year of the Liao Yingli period, March.Go to Beijing.

Yelu Jing and the Khitan nobles truly realized the seriousness of the matter. Spring in the capital came later, and it seemed that it was still cold and cold in March!

First, the Zhou army general Yelu Xiuge's cavalry was expelled from the border. Although some ministers were worried about the Zhou army's counterattack, they were still in the overall situation of fleeing north after the harassment.

Then the Zhou army crossed the Juma River, and Yelu Xiuge gave up Zhuozhou and retreated to Youzhou, and there were still signs of chasing.

But when the Zhou army transferred up to 200,000 to 300,000 infantry and cavalry to station troops in Youzhou, the situation began to escalate and became serious.

Now that the Liao army has all the elite troops have been released, launching a national war, it still cannot resolve the threat from Youzhou; and the Zhou army continues to repair the city and station troops, showing no sign of giving up... It has reached a situation where it cannot end and step down!

After Yelu Jing summoned Xiao Siwen and other ministers, he was silent for a long time and finally said: I think that Xiao Siwen should be more suitable for guarding Youzhou than Yelu Xiuge, and he will restore the position of Xiao Siwen as the king of the Southern Court.

Xiao Siwen stood up and said nothing, but just pressed his hand on his chest and bowed to it.The Khitans had a mute ceremony, and Xiao Siwen was not considered a misconduct.

However, Yelu Jing seemed to feel that Xiao Siwen was reluctant, and indeed, he was a little unkind to restore Xiao Siwen's official position at this time.

Yelu Jing couldn't help but add another sentence, Mr. Xiao is really more experienced in dealing with the Southern people.

Xiao Siwen immediately said seriously: It is related to the rise and fall of the Great Liao Dynasty, and I dare not care about personal gains and losses.

Yelu Jing rarely spoke a good tone, and perhaps he felt that it was not worthy of Xiao Siwen.Yelu Jing said: I am very pleased that Mr. Xiao can be so loyal and courageous.

Xiao Siwen immediately bowed: I would like to take my family to Youzhou with you and swear to live and die with Youzhou!

Yelu Jing immediately glared at him, and even the ministers and nobles present looked at him.

Xiao Siwen spoke calmly, but he was indeed expressing his determination... He took his family to Youzhou, which was more dangerous than putting it on Shangjing as a qualifier, because as the Khitan nobles, Xiao Siwen could not surrender to the Zhou Kingdom.

Xiao Siwen expressed his opinion and said goodbye to his sweat.

When he left the palace city, he was about to meet the general Yelu Xizhen chasing him.

Yelu Xizhen rode his horse and walked on Xiao Siwen's side and whispered: The Khan is also anxious. If he really loses Youzhou, he will not be able to explain to the Liao Dynasty.The Khan probably wanted to use Mr. Xiao as a scapegoat, and then accuse Mr. Xiao of garrisoning Youzhou and losing his territory!

Xiao Siwen said: Maybe this is really the case.Now I don’t care about it, Youzhou must not be abandoned.The Great Liao area is thousands of miles away, but once you lose Youzhou, it will be a trend of reversal of national fortune!

Yelu Xizhen sighed.

Xiao Siwen then said goodbye to Yelu Xizhen, and after returning home, he directly instructed his family to prepare for a salute early.Because I have a lot of things to take care of my family, I can’t prepare well for a day.

The next day, Xiao Siwen heard that Yelu Xian had come to the mansion privately, and thought that the boy might have come to say goodbye to his daughter.At this time, everything was complicated, so Xiao Siwen didn't pay much attention.

...Yelu Xian and YànYàn were talking properly under a peach tree.

Yelu Xiandao: When YànYàn comes back from Youzhou, I will beg your father to marry you to me.This way we can stay together forever.

YànYàn still understands this kind of thing, but he is quite willing to hear this reason. Their childhood sweethearts were already having a good time. YànYàn suddenly thought of something and burst into tears and laughed: Brother Xian is older than me, but I always bully you. If you marry me, aren't you afraid that I will bully you for the rest of my life?

Yelu Xian shook his head.

YànYàn smiled again and said: But Brother Xian, don’t be afraid, although I bully you, if others bully you, I will always protect you.

Yelu Xian suddenly nodded vigorously: That's it, YànYàn's clever mouth said everything I thought!

At this moment, a middle-aged Khitan woman came over and shouted to Yelu Xian: We can't stay in Xiao's house for too long, and we'll leave after we've finished speaking.

Yelu Xian left reluctantly, and just took two steps and turned around and said: I will be bullied by YànYàn for the rest of my life.

YànYàn showed a smile on his pretty face and said: Brother Xian is so stupid!

Yelu Xian said: I am not stupid, who is good to me? I understand it in my heart.

Yelu Xian is already fourteen years old and has a little weak body. Because his parents were frightened when they were killed, they were not in good health after being injured. However, his rough growth experience made him more sensible.

I liked the beautiful and lively YànYàn since I was a child, not to mention that her father is a person with real power and power in the Daliao. In Yelu Xian's eyes, this is the best companion.

His father was the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty and his mother was the Empress of the Palace.

His noble background has always made him feel arrogant, but his real status has forced him to endure it. He is not old and has a certain desire and unwillingness in his heart.

A young man left Xiao’s mansion, and the Xiao mansion was a little confused, and the young man did not attract much attention.The still chilly wind circulated among the houses of Xiao Mansion, and everything seemed to be in turmoil.
