Bianjing City, Imperial City Kenyue.
In the garden that Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty spent all his money to build in his later years, in the same pavilion, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom and his military advisor Hamichi were drinking tea.
Wanyan Wushu was sweating. At that time, more than 3,000 people from the Song Dynasty royal family were captured and headed north. The Song Dynasty women he was assigned at that time included the emperor's concubine, the princess and the concubines of Emperor Huizong, a total of 23 people. Later, after he killed Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyanchang, Wanyan Xiyin and other important clan officials, the women of these people were either sent to the palace or became his people. Now, the women who belong to his Prince Liang's palace, There are already no less than a hundred and fifty people.
Therefore, he is very tired every day. He may say he is tired, but he is tired because he enjoys it. He is now in charge of the military and political power of the Kingdom of Jin. He has Han civilian officials to help with political affairs. The only military affairs that require some attention are in Harbin. After Mi Chi came back, he delivered them all.
It is a well-known fact that the fourth prince does not like to use his brain. Even when he wanted to kill Wanyan Xiyin, the prime minister of the dynasty and the creator of Jurchen writing, he only said one sentence in front of the queen without any plan at all. He directly took the lives of the father and son of the important ministers of the Jin Kingdom.
After the crude tea brought from Dali had been soaked twice and the fourth prince drank a cup, the sweat on his forehead stopped. He looked at Hamichi and said:
"This garden is really big, but it's a pity that I always feel that something is missing... I have been in Zizhou and Qingzhou in the past, and I didn't see the Emperor of the Song Dynasty being tied up. However, the military advisor and his second brother came to the siege back then. I should know What this place looked like back then.”
Hamichi's mask seemed to have grown on his face, making his voice sound a bit sinister. He seemed to be remembering something and murmured:
"This place was already like this when I came down."
"It's a pity." The fourth prince was not a rough man, and there was a look of regret on his face.
"However, I heard that Emperor Zhao took more than 100,000 mountain birds and waterfowl and threw them all into the Bian River. He also killed a thousand deer in the garden to feed the people in the city. He also demolished houses to make fires, chiseled stones into cannons, and cut bamboos into grates. Lili... After such a transformation, this No. 1 garden in the world has indeed changed a lot."
"No wonder, I just said everything looks strange. It turns out there is a lot less life."
At this point, he slapped his thigh and his eyes suddenly lit up: "You can catch some animals here. You can also hunt in your free time. It's also good to practice bow and arrow skills."
Hamichi nodded. These are all small things. It is rare that the fourth prince, who is in his early fifties, can still be so elegant.
As an experiencer and witness of the rise of the Jurchen clan, Hamichi followed Wanyan Aguda, and later became Wanyan Zongqian. After the eldest prince's health became poor and he could no longer go to the battlefield, he I followed this fourth prince.
Moreover, the eldest prince also died of illness last year. For Hamichi, the only member of the Wanyan family he could serve was this one. He looked at the fourth prince not so much as a minister looking at his lord. Rather, it's more like an old man looking at his nephew.
"Animals and stuff are easy to deal with,"
Hamichi liked this Dali tea very much. It was only bitter but not astringent. Drinking it warmed the body in winter and made it cool in summer. In a moment, he had already drank a pot alone.
"After Hebule is eliminated, there will be a lot of animals on the grassland. Let them catch some and put them here."
"Speaking of Hebule..." Wanyan Wushu asked, "I have always been at ease when military advisors do things. Until now, I have never asked who led the troops to chase Atu'er. It's not that I Don’t worry, it’s just that Hebule is very cunning and makes no more concessions than the Han people. This matter really cannot be done carelessly.”
Hamichi picked up the tea and sniffed it, as if he didn't hear the fourth prince's question. After a while, there was some noise outside, and he finally said:
"a little child,"
After a pause, he added: "A fairly reliable kid."
Wanyan Wushu trusted Hami Chi very much. When he heard that he was a child, he was a little anxious at first, but then he seemed to have thought of something and asked:
"Has my second nephew gone?"
Hamichi shook his head: "His Royal Highness has a distinguished status, but he is just an Atuer. He will not be allowed to put himself in danger."
"So, is he Liu Yu's son? Has his nephew gone?"
Hamichi took a sip, and both of them saw Zhining walking in the distance, seeing many emotions on his supposedly calm face, and knew that he must have something to say.
"I didn't go. The two boys from the Liu family are quite courageous, but they lack resourcefulness and are not calm enough. They are not suitable for such a big responsibility."
"Then..." Wanyan Wushu looked at Hamichi in surprise, "Could it be that the godson of the military advisor is here?"
"Zhining, you have something to say."
Hamichi did not directly answer Wanyan Wushu's question, but his lack of answer was an answer in itself.
Sometimes when Wanyan Wushu faces Hamichi, he really feels that he is a little crazy.
Even though the fourth prince himself was not a serious person, he still felt that he was a bit conservative in front of this military advisor.
Zhining had only been out for three days, but it was too much of a shock to him.
Whether it was the crazy Ye Sugei or the attitude of the young emperor of the Jin Kingdom, he became a little confused.
He shouldn't be confused. As the fourth prince's most proud son-in-law, he couldn't have such emotions.
He first saluted the two of them, and then followed his father-in-law's gaze. He stared at it for a long time, and he could probably think of what kind of state Wanyan Wushu would be in when he said his words... But Zhi Zhi Ning knew that at least someone was going to die today. As for who would die, he couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't be him.
"We found the little tiger."
"Oh?" Unexpectedly, he was surprised as soon as he opened his mouth. Wanyan Wushu asked, "Where is the person?"
"At...the side of Emperor Song."
"Then Emperor Zhao took her as a prisoner?" The fourth prince slapped the case, "You are really bullying me, you are really bullying me!"
Zhining didn't say anything, but took off the cloth bag from his waist and placed it in front of the two of them.
"What is this?"
"This is... the medicine Xiao Hu'er stole from Emperor Song."
"medicine?"
"It's just the medicine. Please ask the Fourth Prince to find someone to test the medicine."
"this……"
Wanyan Wushu was about to speak when he was stopped by Hamichi. The masked old man was not prepared to let the Fourth Prince continue questioning.
For him, Heshi Liezhining was not a person without a clear goal. If he wanted people to test medicine, there must be a reason for him.
So he only asked three questions:
"Male and female? Old and young? How much do you want?"
