Chapter 617: You are not kind and I am not righteous

Early in the morning, the gate of the Xixia Palace opened wide. First, a team of imperial orders ordered the sons to go out, and then a small eunuch came out of the palace. The eunuch called a carriage at the door and quickly went to the Yue Palace.

The King of Yue has a noble status and the mansion is the most majestic. Its structure is not under the palace city. It occupies three streets, facing north and south. The red lacquer gate is bright and bright. At the door are sixteen sword-wearing warriors. Under the stone steps on both sides are two stone lions who are trying to slap. A pair of copper bell eyes of the stone lion seem to be catching forward, extremely majestic.

Inside is a nine-level archway and a gatehouse. As soon as you enter, the deepest part is a magnificent palace. The palace is built on a one-meter-high base, and the bottom is a rammed earth-shattered building. It is covered with blue and white stone bricks, white marble steps and carved guardrails.

It was drizzling in the sky, and the raindrops hit the stone bricks and entered the gaps of the stone bricks. Under the eaves of the high arch, the three characters Yuewangtai were written in Chinese characters and Dangxiang. Walking in, it was an open palace. Three or four people sat down, all looking at the drizzle outside.

A voice said, "His Royal Highness of Yue is here."

The people in the hall stood up one after another.

King Li Qian of Yue was walking and walking in a veil. His appearance was somewhat similar to Li Qianshun, but his jaw was wider and he seemed quite brave.

Li Qian was holding hands, just nodding to their heads, and then said, "Sit down and talk."

Three or four people sat down, but they all looked like they were not in their minds.

Li Qianzheng sighed and said, "Yesterday was still sunny, but today is like this. God's will is hard to measure."

The next few people were all Dangxiang nobles, wearing silver collars around their necks to show good luck. They looked at each other for a moment, thinking that Li Qianzheng's words were very meaningful. One of them said: "Did Your Majesty know something?"

Li Qianzheng's eyes were faint and said, "No, this matter is very secretive, and it is made by the most confidant. In addition, the secret recipe was also sent from the merchants of Wuchi Kingdom. How can ordinary people know about it?"

Someone sighed and said, "That's strange. Since this is the case, why did Your Majesty suddenly seem to have changed someone else? First, he said that there were assassins and so many foreign officials were removed. Even the guards in the palace who were most trustworthy in the past suddenly sued them. Besides, these people are closely related to Your Highness, how could such a coincidence happen?"

Li Qian was biting his lips and said, "It's not just that. Even when the matchup was yesterday, there was something strange about the seats on the high platform. Will the Ministry of Rites not know that I will be there? Even if I don't know, I should prepare a few more positions in advance. Why is the position of this king missing? It's not that I'm standing or sitting, it's not that I'm sitting. This is the emperor's intentional embarrassment."

Thinking of Li Qianshun's coldness these days, everyone was uneasy. The wealth of the people here is maintained by King Yue. If King Yue falls, there are not only one or two people who are involved in it.

Li Qianzheng said: "But Your Majesty has not moved the people of the Shenwu Army and Long Rangwei. Both sides are controlled by my trusted confidants. Your Majesty should also know that since they do not move them, this means that things have not broken to that point. So there is no need to worry, just take a look first."

The conversation ended here. Although it was brief, it was a reassurance for everyone. Li Qianzheng was right. Shenwu Army and Long Rangwei were one of the five armies of Xingqing Prefecture, harboring the capital. If they really wanted to touch King Yue, Li Qianshun would not have done anything.

At this moment, a chief in the palace came in quickly and whispered a few secret words in Li Ganzheng's ear.

Li Gan said to the main matter as if nothing had happened: "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it out loud. Everyone is their own people, what can I hide?" After that, he stood up and said: "There are some things to be dealt with in the back house. Let's go back first, don't worry, the sky falls, and there is a tall one to hold it."

The foreign officials also stood up, saluted and retreated.

Li Ganzheng did not go to the back house. He took a sip of tea and raised his legs and said, "When they leave, bring people in."

The headmaster nodded, and after a stick of incense, he brought a little eunuch over. The little eunuch bowed his head and recognized Li Ganzheng, and said with a smile: "How is Your Highness, King Yue?"

Li Ganzheng shook his head and said, "What happened to me seriously?"

The little eunuch said the original words of Eunuch Zhao.

Li Ganzheng was stunned for a moment and said, "So, my emperor brother is going to go back on his word; hum! In order to curry favor with the Jin Kingdom, he can do anything and dare to do anything, and he is not afraid of making fun of everyone in the world."

The little eunuch did not dare to follow up. When Li Ganzheng's anger subsided, he said, "There is another thing. The palace has cut off many of His Highness's people a few days ago. The godfather asked from many sources and found out that it was the Minister of Rites who didn't know what he said in front of His Majesty, but his godfather also said that this matter should not be a big deal. Perhaps it is not necessarily the case that His Majesty taught His Highness a lesson."

"Yang Zhen?" Li Ganzheng snorted coldly and stood up and said, "A Southern barbarian can actually be at the center, more prominent than my royal family. Is this world still a member of the Dangxiang people?"

Slowly calmed down, Li Gan waved his hand and said, "Go back, come and go to the warehouse to give him some money to reward him. If you have any big news in the future, you will report it. Be cautious."

The little eunuch responded happily and went out with the head.

Li Gan thought for a while, then called someone and ordered: "Call someone to go to Honglu Temple for a trip. Chen Ao can use it."

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

At the Honglu Temple, the festive atmosphere last night had not passed. No matter what, Chen Ao finally gave everyone anger. The arrogant Jin army was beaten up all of a sudden. In the minds of various countries, no matter what, the status of the Song Dynasty naturally improved a little.

Chen Ao invited the princes of various countries to have a drink, which was considered to thank them for their kindness. On the other hand, he was also a matter of winning over the relationship. After all, he was still in the position of the Minister of the Honglu Temple, and he had to deal with both public and private affairs at this time.

Since Chen Ao won, it was a foregone conclusion in everyone's heart that marrying the Princess of Xixia was a foregone conclusion. Song State, Dali, Tubo, and Khitan were either the sect leader or the allies. Now that Xixia is brought in, the anti-Jin alliance has become much bigger in an instant. All of this is naturally inseparable from Shen Ao, especially Yelu Yinde. Although he did not marry the Princess of Xixia this time, he finally had a perfect merit. Wanyan Zongjie did not marry the Princess of Xixia, so he had to drink a few more cups.

The night passed, and the next morning, the imperial edict came out. Chen Ao was woken up by someone and took a sip of sobering tea. Listening to a doctor's return, the expression on his face was not surprised, but said, "The people of Xixia went back on their word, aren't they afraid of others' jokes?"

The doctor said: "Do you want to bring everyone together and have a fight?"

Chen Ao sneered, "What's the use of making trouble like this? If you want to make trouble, you can make a big deal, and it's a big deal!" Then he waved his hand and said, "You go down and tell Li Qing and the coaches the news."

He sat alone for a while and had already woken up from the wine last night. He knew that Li Ganshun was unwilling to marry the princess to the Song Dynasty, but he never expected that the old fox would turn against him faster than flirting with books. He actually found an excuse for having a wife, and said it as if he had been deceived.

However, rejection was also expected by Shen Ao. Li Ganshun had a backup plan, which did not mean that Chen Ao did not.

Chen Ao curled his lips and said to himself leisurely: "Okay, then let's play slowly, you are unkind and I am unrighteous."

At this time, someone came to say that a convoy came to the Xixia Palace to give the reward. Chen Ao stood up and went out with the man. On the way, he was hitting the angry Li Qing. Li Qing must have received the news, giving Chen Ao a look, and Chen Ao only nodded to him, meaning that he was patient.

In Li Qing's opinion, this match was made by him and his brothers. Li Ganshun said that he would go back on his word and was so angry. Seeing that Chen Ao didn't want to make things worse, he suppressed his anger and followed Chen Ao to the gate of Honglu Temple. He saw that there were indeed eunuchs and warriors from the Xia Palace waiting here at the door, guarding a car. The eunuchs in the leader came to report to him and said, "Hello, the prince of Penglai, the family is ordered by the Emperor of Daxia to send some rewards. Please give me some advice."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Is it a reward or a dowry?"

The eunuch's face changed and he said, "Of course it's a reward."

Chen Ao sneered: "So, you Xixia are not planning to keep your promise?"

The eunuch said seriously: "Didn't the Prince of Penglai hear the edict? The edict is clearly stated, please ask the Prince of Penglai to be Haihan."

Li Qing behind Chen Ao snorted coldly: "If it weren't for a dowry, we would take the things back, we don't care!"

Chen Ao hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, don't let things go, Li Qing, you are too impulsive, you can just be polite, how can you really block things back? Who can't get along with money?"

Li Qingran said silly: "The King... the Prince..."

Chen Ao waved his hand and said, "The Xixia people went back on their word, and I was greatly harmed. This compensation is also worth it." After saying that, he turned around the cart, lifted the felt cloth, looked inside, and said quietly: "So many good things, but I don't know what the market value of this cart is?"

Then the eunuch could tell the difference between this, but if he said it was too little, he would not look good in terms of face. It would damage the majesty of the Xixia Kingdom. He naturally reported it to Gaoli and coughed, "The rewards from the Emperor of Xixia are naturally quite expensive. Does the prince really think that I, Xixia, cannot be as rich as the Song Dynasty? This car of things is at least... worth at least 200,000 taels of silver."

Chen Ao is a *** lake. He has received countless gifts. You can tell at a glance that it will never exceed 100,000 yuan. This eunuch is amazing and doubled its market value in one breath.

Chen Ao smiled and said, "So many? The Lord of Xixia is really generous. But there are so many things that I will not be able to carry when I return to my country. It is better to discount it. Go back and tell you the Lord of Xixia. Just take the car back and take 200,000 guan of money to attract it. Explain in advance that I will not accept the Jiaozi of Xixia."
