After that, he personally removed a lock of hair from the woman and gently lifted it up. He grabbed one of her hands, patted it gently, and said in the woman's ear: "That boy will stay alone in Shangjing and Tokyo for a long time. You stay with him and take care of him. He lives. I think, with Yun Niang’s charming body and her looks that I’m jealous of, it’s only a matter of time before she completely captures that boy. Although we may take advantage of the opportunity, we women will always You can’t keep guarding like this for the rest of your life, right?”
Hearing Yi Ying's words, the woman couldn't help but blush. Although he was somewhat hesitant, he finally turned towards the woman and left. Over there, while his father was busy, he took a break to meet Yinghao. Although this was only his second meeting, he was still a close brother because of the previous reasons. Huang Ruifeng was chatting and drinking over a few side dishes. Naturally, they don’t know this. Now, in addition to rekindling his old friendship with his brother, he also wanted to inquire about some things.
After being talked to by his own emperor last time, Huang Ruifeng was so busy that he had no time to take a breath because all matters related to the affairs of his hometown in Northern Liao were assigned to him, both military and political. When I think about the errands assigned to me by my father, the emperor, I have a headache. I just took this opportunity to find Yinghao, my brother. In order to get a better understanding of the complex ethnic relations in this place from this brother who knows the situation in the hinterland of Beiliao far better than I did when I was just casually watching.
Compared to Huang Ruifeng, who was still relatively relaxed, it had been several years since they last saw each other. But there was a lot more on his face, a younger brother who couldn't understand. Yinghao seemed a little reserved at first. For a time, there was no more intimacy between the two of them when Huang Ruifeng was in Liaoyang Mansion. Until Huang Ruifeng said helplessly: "Second brother, you should be more relaxed. Don't worry, I will always be your brother. Although we are not a mother, we are still a father no matter what."
"You and I are brothers once and for all. No matter how time changes or our identities change, you will always be my brother. In front of your brother, I am not a county king, but your brother. More What's more, you are also my father's son, and our status is equal. There is no difference. Today, my father and your mother are reminiscing about old times. You will know when you are free tomorrow. The rest of those over sixteen years old Brothers, we are all in the capital now. In a few days, we will come to Liaoyang Mansion."
Having said this, Huang Ruifeng picked up the wine glass in front of him and said to Yinghao: "When the time comes, we brothers will get together and have a good gathering. As for today, you and I are still in the Ying Mansion, drinking together. Singing brothers. After a while, you and I want to have a drink alone, but someone will be jealous. Come on, one of us brothers will go. This is the Xifeng wine I specially brought to you from the Central Plains. Because With these jars of wine, I was almost scolded to death by my father, who never likes drinking."
"You don't even know how strict our emperor is on me. Basically, I'm not allowed to drink. In the army, drinking is not allowed when we are marching and fighting. Just because of these jars Wine, my father thought of it along the way and punished me. Now it makes me as tired as that dog all day long. If you hadn't come here today, how would I have had the chance to have a drink? This famous wine from Shanxi Road. Even if it’s because of the scolding I received, we have to drink more happily today, right?”
After he finished speaking, Huang Ruifeng couldn't help but give his emperor a look of contempt in his heart. Ever since Aunt Ying entered, she still hasn't come out. She doesn't have to guess what the two people are up to in that small hall. I brought my brother here. As a father, you should meet him. Is it just a short time before I was intimate with that Aunt Ying? But it's nice of you to leave your son alone, but you are busy making out with your son and his mother. If this were not the case, his brother would not be so nervous even if he saw him?
However, even though Huang Ruifeng had to put in a lot of effort to relieve the tension in his heart. But finally, he quickly regained his feelings and let Yinghao take off most of his guard. The two brothers had a drink with just a few simple side dishes. Huang Ruifeng asked about the actual situation in Beiliao's political arena. What is the character of those captured now, as well as the Northern Liao ministers who were scattered outside? Those Northern Liao ministers are greedy, capable, and can be recruited and used by Da Qi.
Yinghao, who is sensitive to guessing something, is not only close to what he knows, but also what he said. Moreover, he also talked to Huang Ruifeng about the tribes in the desert grasslands and the white mountains and black waters, which tribes could be recruited by Daqi, and how to use these tribes. Those tribes should be carefully guarded. Those tribes are naturally rebellious, and even Bei Liao is not convinced. They must make great efforts to conquer them, and those tribes can be appeased. In the past few years, Ying Hao has gradually accepted the business of Ying Mansion. He knows the details of those tribes very well.
Including the clans and ministers of the Northern Liao Dynasty, as well as the upper-class figures among the local Bohai people and Han people, they also have a good understanding of the characters and abilities. He even proposed that if he wanted to win over the remaining senior officials of Beiliao, he could help stabilize the overall situation. In Tokyo Road, we can adopt the method of Bei Liao, giving false posts to local Bohai and Han people, and they can be selected as civil servants. For the Khitan and Xi people, we can make full use of the past conflicts between the Khitan tribes and the Northern Liao imperial family, including the conflicts between the Xiao family of the Queen Mother Shulu and the family of the Queen Mother Chengtian.
Yinghao spoke carefully, while Huang Ruifeng listened quietly, occasionally adding a sentence or two. The two young brothers have been chatting about this since the afternoon until the sky is filled with stars. It wasn't until we were tipsy that the drinking finally ended. Seeing that his brother was a little drunk, Huang Ruifeng originally ordered Li Hai to let his brother rest in the palace. But Yinghao insisted on returning home. In his words, mother and Yun Niang may not be able to go back today. It’s okay if there’s no one in the house to take charge. Otherwise, some of them were invited by the soldiers, and if they didn't go back, they would cause panic in the people in the mansion.
Regarding this brother's insistence, Huang Ruifeng pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. Huang Ruifeng had lived in Ying Mansion for several months and knew that many people in Ying Mansion were not honest people. Some are that Aunt Ying, the leader of the horse bandits in the White Mountains and Black Waters who was conquered. Some are originally gangsters. Although these people are necessary people to travel through white mountains, black waters, and grasslands and deserts. But they are unscrupulous and untamable. If there is no strong person to suppress it, I am afraid something will happen.
Now that my father is stationed in Liaoyang Mansion, the city is heavily guarded. If those people really cause something, the next step may be to bloodbath the Ying Mansion. My father will naturally protect Aunt Ying. But the father may not tolerate the lawless people under her. But if those people are left, the British caravan will seem to have no minions. Then walking through the desert grasslands and the white mountains and black waters, facing the horse bandits in the desert and the white mountains, as well as the raiding tribes, there is no deterrent.
Therefore, Huang Ruifeng finally agreed and let the tipsy Yinghao return to the Ying Mansion. Anyway, the Ying Mansion is not far from the palace. Let's just take some time tomorrow and let the two of us get together again. Yinghao, who seemed to be drunk, left the palace with the support of two guards, turned a corner, and left the palace's sight. I was a little confused because of being drunk, but I regained my original clarity. He pushed away the guard who was supporting him. A person who came to greet him saw that Yinghao was pretending to be drunk, but he was very straightforward and relieved.
It was just that no one of them spoke and kept returning to the Ying Mansion. He just walked up to Yinghao and said softly: "Little master, is it safe for my wife to stay in the palace? Will the dog emperor of Daqi hurt my wife? Let's not talk about the dog emperor, but that Prince Yong, you can’t completely believe it. Although he has lived in our house for half a year, he is a close friend of you. But today is different from the past, and he has changed. Is he Prince Yong of the Qi Dynasty? The prince of that dog emperor of Da Qi Dynasty."
"Not only does he have tremendous power, he also holds tens of thousands of troops. But in their eyes, we are just a group of horse bandits affecting their stability in the white mountains, black waters and desert grasslands. If he thinks that Madam, and our British government will If he is a threat, I am afraid that he will do anything to get rid of his wife. I know that these people are really unscrupulous for power and interests. The emperor of the Central Plains has always been very particular about nonsense. Isn't it possible for the emperor to be a royal minister? He can tolerate it. Are we a group of horse bandits?"
After taking the towel handed over by the maid, he simply wiped his face and went to get rid of the alcohol. When he heard the words of his confidant who didn't know the real situation, let alone the dog emperor he said, he had a true relationship. After pondering for a long time, he sighed: "He has not changed, he is still the same boy as before. Although there are some things on his face that I can't understand, he still misses the old feelings. As long as we act honestly If we don’t interfere in our own affairs, they won’t do anything to us.”
"However, we can't take no precautions. After all, official affairs are too complicated. Especially, I haven't seen the emperor today. And he will serve as the ambassador of the entire Daliao homeland and deal with the entire Daliao. Under the situation of military and political affairs in the hometown of Liao. There are some things that we should take precautions for. Tell the brothers, in the future, be more restrained and don't be as arrogant as before. Da Qi is different from Daliao. They govern the place with civilian officials. . If those civil servants were greedy, it would be much easier to handle."
"The worst case is just stuffing money. We don't lack that little money anyway. But if we meet someone who enforces the law impartially, or who is determined to gain political achievements and wants to use our brains to get promoted, that will be troublesome. It is said that the King of Hell is easy to meet but the devil is difficult to deal with. This is still true. Although he will not touch us for the time being, we must be on guard against the dirty officials under him who use the heads of brothers to improve their political performance. Tell Hu Shali and the others will stay in the Jurchen tribe honestly during this period, and no one is allowed to come back."
"Their heads were worth tens of thousands of coins in Da Liao, but they may not be worthless here in Da Qi. I will also inform you that in the next battle between the Qi army and the remaining Liao army, everyone will strictly maintain neutrality and no one will be allowed to interfere. . If anyone dares to get involved, don’t blame the young master for being ruthless. As for mother, none of you need to worry. Her relationship with the emperor of Da Qi is not what you imagined. Otherwise, why do you think the Qi army entered the city? Are you so honest to the British government and have done nothing except deploying troops to surround you?"
"And this morning, as soon as the Emperor of Daqi entered the city, he evacuated all the officers and soldiers outside? Don't worry, as long as my mother is here, the Emperor of Daqi and the Prince of Yong County will They won't attack us. What I'm most worried about now is that if our people don't know how to restrain themselves, they will do something out of control."
