Forty-eight, there is nothing to do
Forty-eight, nothing happened when it comes
Zhou Xuan, Yang Xiaopin, Sanniang, and Siniang returned to the inn, it was already three o'clock in the Yin hour, and it was about to dawn in more than half an hour.
Sichi glanced at Zhou Xuan and asked Sanchi, "Third Brother, what happened to Master Lin summon you?"
Sanchi shook his head and said, "Master Lin has not had time to say it."
The four cynic said, "I'll catch up with Master Lin and ask?"
Sanchi said: "No need to ask, Master Lin is an extremely arrogant person."
The Sichi murmured to himself: "Will he be trying to assassinate Zhao Heng?"
Zhou Xuan sat aside and slowly savored the tea, saying, "Don't guess, how capable Mr. Lin is. You have to worry about it. Let's see tomorrow - no, what big things will happen in Kaifeng City today. We can help if necessary. It should be no problem for Mr. Lin and Mrs. Huarui to escape."
Zhou Xuan heard from Sanchi that his wife was followed by the five heroes of the Falcons. Lin Fu shot and killed five people into West Lake with every move. His martial arts were far above Sanchi. If he waited for an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Heng, he should have a good chance. However, choosing Zhao Heng to take action on the day of his ascension to the throne was naturally out of the intention of a strong attack on the Northern Song Dynasty. The king of a country was killed on the day of ascending the throne. This was really a sensation. This is the result that Zhao Defang wanted. Why did Lin Fu work for Zhao Defang? What role did Huarui’s wife Fei Weirui play in this?
Zhou Xuan didn't understand why Lin Bu didn't kill Zhao Defang but wanted to kill Zhao Heng. He couldn't figure it out and was too lazy to think about it. Lin Bu would assassinate Zhao Heng, it would be fine, it was nothing to do with him.
Zhou Xuan did not let Sanchi follow him into the palace, so he asked him to wait outside Xuande Building. If chaos arose, he could set up a fire on the Imperial Street to create chaos to help Lin Fu get out.
On the eighth day of the third month, from Donghua Gate to Jiasu Gate, there were two levels of imperial guards, and they were always on the police. They were in and out of the way. They were extremely strict when entering and leaving. Zhou Xuan, Yelu Gaoba and other envoys were waiting in the East Gate Tower outside the Wende Hall. Zhao Heng went to worship the Taimiao with the attendant of the elders.
The weather was good this day. It rained last night. After dawn, the sky was clear and clear. The palace city was festive and solemn. The scale of the palace city in the Northern Song Dynasty was much more grand than that of the Tang Palace in the Jinling City.
Zhou Xuan had no intention of looking at the tower and palace, and he held his heart all the time. Maybe the next moment the police would be loud and the new king was assassinated!
Around the beginning of Si, when the auspicious time came, the Wende Hall and the bells and drums in the opposite Ninghu Hall were ringing together, playing Zhonghe Shao music. As the music was sounded, Zhao Heng, the new king of Song State, wore a crown and dress, and was guided by the Minister of Rites, entered Xuanyou Gate, and walked up to the Danmu of Wende Hall--
The rituals of the throne ceremony were complicated, and Zhao Heng practiced it three times in advance so that he would not make any mistakes in etiquette today.
Zhou Xuan followed other envoys to advance and retreat, glanced at the people in the hall, waiting for someone to suddenly turn against him and poked Zhao Heng, but until the one-hour ceremony ended, there was no accident. After the throne ceremony, Zhao Heng feasted the ministers and envoys of various countries in Jiying Hall. Last weekend, Zhou Xuan learned that Wang Jien, the defensive envoy of Shunzhou Road, had ordered the soldiers to return to Shunzhou. He followed Cao Bin to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new king, and Li Changling, the deputy governor, had been dismissed from office, and Zhao Yuanzuo, was madly dying again in Chujiang.
The Song Palace gave a banquet until the evening. Zhou Xuan and Siqi left Zuoyemen to meet with Sanqi. On that day, Kaifeng City celebrated together, and no accidents happened. Zhao Heng was naturally fine, and he had never heard of any minister assassinated.
The three cynical and four cynical people walked through the streets and alleys of Kaifeng City, trying to find Lin Bu's whereabouts, but there was no trace. The three cynical and four cynical people are all masters of tracking. If Lin Bu is in the city, they should be able to find Lin Bu, but Lin Bu seems to have left Kaifeng City.
Late at night, the three and four cynical people returned to Yongzhou Lane Station one after another. Zhou Xuan comforted him and said, "Master Lin may have changed his mind. He is not an idle Yun Yehe now. He has Mrs. Huarui, so he should have given up his assassination plan and returned to Hangzhou."
The three ignorant and the four ignorant can only think so.
Two days later, Sanchi continued to pursue the traces of Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Huarui inside and outside Kaifeng City. Finally, he received news that Lin and Mrs. Huarui were heading southwest, probably back to Western Shu.
Zhou Xuanze visited the major ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty, and accompanied by Yang Zongbao to visit the famous scenic spots in Kaifeng, Daxiangguo Temple, Yuwangtai, and Yanqing Temple...
Three days after Zhao Heng ascended the throne ceremony, envoys from various countries said their farewell, but Yelu Gaoba from Liao and Ye Feibai from Southern Han were traveling around like Zhou Xuan, looking very leisurely.
On March 12, Zhou Xuan said goodbye to Zhao Heng. Zhao Heng was very courteous and rewarded Zhou Xuan a lot. When Zhou Xuan said he wanted to visit Mount Tai, Zhao Heng ordered the Jinshang Team of the Infantry Army Yang Zongbao to accompany him throughout the journey.
In the evening of that day, Zhou Xuan went to Tianbo Mansion to say goodbye to Old Lady She and the Yang family generals, and returned to the inn to meet Ye Feibai, the envoy of the Southern Han Dynasty, who had been waiting for a long time.
Ye Feibai said: "Duke, I will set off to return tomorrow. I will say goodbye to the country."
Zhou Xuan looked at it, and Liu Shouzhen did not come with him, so he asked, "Did Lord Ye go back directly? Then Miss Yuexiu go back together?"
Ye Feibai said vaguely, said a few words and said goodbye.
Zhou Xuan said to Sanchi: "Lao San, you will go back to Jinling tomorrow so that the third sister-in-law will not worry about it. Lao Si and I will still go north and will not be able to go back in less than three months. By the way, when will the third sister-in-law give birth?"
Sanchi said, "Mrs. Que'er said it was around mid-July, so she should be a girl."
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Daughter is good. My daughter is my parents' little cotton jacket. In July, my fourth brother and I will definitely come back." He couldn't help but think of Pan Yujiao. Pan Yujiao was about to give birth at the end of May and early June, so he wrote a letter in Kaifeng and sent two confidant soldiers to Zhangzhou to hand it over to Pan Yujiao, which was nothing more than expressing his longing and giving some nourishing things.
The next day, Sanchi and two personal soldiers bid farewell to Zhou Xuan and went to Jinling and Zhangzhou. Yang Zongbao brought two brand-name troops to Yongzhou Lane early in the morning, preparing to accompany Zhou Xuan to Mount Tai. Yang Zongbao knew in his heart that Zhou Xuan was fake to Mount Tai, and it was true to go to Mount Tai along the way to Yishui Mengshan along Qingzhou to find Xiahou Liusu.
Zhou Xuan and his party of more than 40 people left Chenqiao Gate, and the two Liao people who were looking for Yang Xiaopin also brought them together. This made Yelu Gaoba from Duting Post unable to understand. He frowned and said to his uncle Yelu Liuge: "This Duke of Wu is so strange. Could it be that he didn't go to Nanjing, Great Liao to see Han Derang, but went to Taishan to visit him? It's so strange!"
Yelu Liuge said: "It's been found out now that the woman named Yang Xiaopin was originally the home of Wei Bo in Zhennan Protectorate. She was won by Zhou Xuan's gambling poems. For this little family, Zhou Xuan ruined Wei Bo's family and died-"
Yelu Gaoba said: "That's how Zhou Xuan should be very fond of this yang Xiaopin. Now he knows that she is the daughter of Han Derang, the Prime Minister of the Great Liao Dynasty. Logically speaking, he should go north to recognize his relatives immediately, why did he go to Mount Tai?"
Brother Yelu Liu asked, "Do you want to send someone to follow them?"
Yelu Gaoba said: "No need. If Zhou Xuan finds that someone is following him, it will be bad. Let's go back to Nanjing first and wait and set up your eyes and ears along the way. I think Zhou Xuan will definitely come. Don't we have two people on his side?"
Brother Yelu Liu asked in a low voice: "Gao Ba, do you think Yang Xiaopin was born by Han Derang and Li Mochou, or Han Derang and Xiao Chuo?"
Yelu Gaoba said: "Didn't we see Yang Xiaopin that day? Who do you think she looks like?"
Yelu Liuge said: "That day passed by quickly, and I didn't look closely. Afterwards, I thought that the woman was three-point similar to Han Delang. Han Delang looked handsome and taciturn, but when he talked about court affairs, he thought deeply and spoke in detail. Empress Dowager Chengtian obeyed him and indeed had a good way to govern the country-"
Yelu Gaoba said impatiently: "What are you talking about? I asked the Yang Xiaopin whether it was Xiang Chengtian or Li Mochou?"
Brother Yelu Liu hesitated and said, "Li Mochou was the first beauty among the Han people in Liao Dynasty. Empress Dowager Chengtian was also extremely beautiful when she was young. She was the number one beauty in the Liao Dynasty. I was confused. This little frown was extremely beautiful. Apart from thinking that she was quite cool with Han Dejie, she didn't feel that she looked like anyone else."
Yelu Gaoba said: "Li Mochou's chin is slightly pointed, Empress Dowager Chengtian's chin is round, and this woman looks more like Empress Dowager Chengtian."
Yelu Liuge said horrifiedly: "Are you saying that Yang Xiaopin was born to Empress Dowager Chengtian and Han Derang?"
Yelu Gaoba snorted and said, "I'm afraid our emperor was born to Han Derang. Didn't you find that the emperor's handsome appearance is quite similar to Han Derang?"
Yelu Liuge said in fear: "Emperor Jingzong is also quite weak and handsome. It is hard to say who looks like anyone else, but if Yang Xiaopin was born by Empress Dowager Chengtian, why would he be abandoned to the Southern Dynasty? Who did it?"
Yelu Gaoba said: "This is indeed suspicious. Did Li Mochou resent the affair between Xiao Chuo and Han Derang and abandon Yang Xiaopin? Why didn't he kill it at that time?"
Yelu Liuge said: "I don't think this sheep's little puff is born to Empress Dowager Chengtian, because Han De'er sent people to search everywhere for her for so many years, and there was no movement on Empress Dowager Chengtian."
Yelu Gaoba said: "Uncle is really confused. Now Han Derang and Empress Dowager Chengtian are a family. What are the differences between each other? Should the empress dowager issue an order to find her illegitimate daughter?"
Brother Yelu Liu said stubbornly: "I still think that Yang Xiaopin was not born to Empress Dowager Chengtian - Gao Ba, do you still remember Xiao Ying?"
"Xiao Qi?" Yelu Gaoba raised his thick eyebrows: "Empress Dowager Chengtian's half-sister-" After pondering for a while, a dark smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If that is true, then it will be lively - no matter what, as long as Yang Xiaopin appears in Nanjing, all the courts and the country of Liao will cause shock."
...
The two Liao people who followed Zhou Xuan to the northeast were Han Derang's slaves, and the other was Yelu Gaoba's confidant family general. Seeing that Zhou Xuan did not mention going to Nanjing, Liao, they couldn't help but be anxious. While resting on the way, they knelt beside the carriage of Yang Xiaopin and asked Miss Pin'er when she would go to Prime Minister Han?
Yang Xiaopin said, "Go and ask the Duke." Then he said nothing.
The two of them raised their courage and went to ask Zhou Xuan again. Zhou Xuan said, "Miss Pin'er complained that her father had abandoned her for twelve years and never came to find her. She was very resentful and knew that her mother had passed away, so she regarded going north as a fear of her. If Prime Minister Han had the intention to find a daughter, it would be better to let you and the two go to Nanjing to report the news and let Prime Minister Han come to Mount Tai to see his daughter. How about it?"
