"Wan Yanxi was hiding in the Liao Kingdom's special envoy?"
Shen Cha held it in for a whole day, and she didn't tell the news until she returned to Zhenguo Gongfu in the evening and she and Shen Haolin were the only two people left in Huqiu. It's not that she can't trust Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing. It's better for as few people to know about this kind of information that is not yet completely confirmed, so as not to leak it out before they can figure out a way to deal with it. If the secret plan she arranged in Liao Kingdom is implicated, Pile, but that's bad.
"What did Xiaomin say in the letter, but I'm not sure." Shen Cha crossed Shen Haolin, jumped off the bed, ran outside, and took out the secret letter she just kept today from her small box. After receiving the letter, I ran back with my shoes on, shivering from the cold, and quickly got under the quilt. "Xiao Min said in the letter that various countries have sent special envoys and envoys to go to Xijing to celebrate the New Year and attend the princess's wedding."
"The Tubo are also passing through Hanyuguan this time. Aren't they afraid of running into the Uighurs and the two families fighting in front of Hanyuguan?"
"Brother, you are joking." Shen Cha was about to yawn, but when he heard Shen Haolin's words, he held it back, "According to our Daxia rules, the Chaohe delegation cannot exceed a hundred people at most. Soldiers There should be no more than fifty people, otherwise the border gate has the right not to let them go. The combined strength of the two missions of Tubo and Uighur is only a hundred people. If they really meet on a narrow road, what the colleagues at Hanyuguan can watch is not a fight. It's the shrew who cursed the street." Shen Cha leaned on Shen Haolin's shoulder unceremoniously, "The scene I saw at the Golden Palace when I returned to Beijing the year before last has left a deep impression on me."
In the early spring of the year before last, Chen Cha followed Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian back to Beijing to report on their work. By chance, they met the Tibetan and Uighur envoys who came to Beijing to pay tribute at the same time. In front of the civil and military ministers of the palace, they yelled and cursed each other. Later, they felt that they were not happy, so they performed a full-scale martial arts show, pulling their hair, scratching their faces, etc., and making as much noise as they wanted.
The so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Song Jue, the emperor, was afraid of chaos in the world and loved to watch the excitement. Under his leadership, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty also showed this tendency. At the beginning, the two The envoys of the state scolded each other, and the servants came to dissuade him. They did not dissuade him sincerely, but just meant it and expressed their feelings. After being rejected, the monarchs and ministers of Daxia watched the show with peace of mind.
In the end, the Tibetan envoy was more superior, winning the game with his own weight... Oh, no, it was the victory of swearing, shaking his head that was scratched with blood on his face by the Uighurs, and walked away triumphantly. The Uighur envoy lost the battle, but he did not bring embarrassment to his country. Although he was scratched by the Tubo people and had a lock of hair pulled out, he also dealt harshly with the fat man.
Later, this so-called dispute between the envoys of the two countries, which was written into the history books of Daxia, was described by Shen Cha as the shrews of the two countries.
"I heard that the envoy from Uighur lost to the Tubo people because he felt that he suffered a physical disadvantage. After returning home, he began to eat a lot. Unfortunately, he only eats but does not gain weight, so he will not gain weight anyway. They are not like the Tubo people." Although Shen Haolin was telling a joke, his eyes did not leave the letter, "The special envoy of the Liao mission was actually Xiao Fengqi. Yelu was finally willing to let his precious nephew out for others to see. ?”
"It's not that I'm willing to give it up, I have to give it up, otherwise someone will die."
"Did he get involved in a life-threatening lawsuit?" Shen Haolin frowned, "If so, we can't let him go."
"Brother, where did you want to go? That's not the case. Xiao Fengqi entered the Northern Privy Council at the age of thirteen. In the past few years, he has only been doing errands peacefully, but he can gain a firm foothold in the Northern Privy Council just by relying on his duties. Impossible. Our people in the Northern Privy Council say that he has won over a group of clan children of similar age to him in the Northern Privy Council, and his popularity is about to catch up with those old people."
"Are those old guys feeling unsafe? Xiao Fengqi's presence is a bit of a hindrance to them."
"Then it's Xiao Fengqi's own fault. Since he wants to pretend to be an honest child, he has to keep pretending. One side in front of others and one side in front of others. Sooner or later, the flaws will be exposed." Shen Cha sighed, "Yelu put him at this moment He was sent out because people from the Northern Privy Council complained to him and were dissatisfied with Xiao Fengqi's forming a gang to deal with old people like them. Although Yelu loved this nephew, he could not go against the entire Northern Privy Council just because of him. What's more, not only Some people from the Northern Privy Council and the Southern Privy Council also asked Yelv to reprimand him."
"His hand is long enough to actually reach the South Privy Council!" Shen Haolin shook his head, "He is young and ambitious. Before he did anything, he just wanted to install his own in the North and South Privy Council. People. Yelu is a suspicious guy. People from the Northern and Southern Privy Councils complained one after another. He didn’t say anything, but he probably had some fear in his heart, right? "
"This is most likely the case. Otherwise, how could Yelu Nan and Qi Zhifeng appear in the list of the mission? One is the cousin of the current Xiao Liao King, and Yelu Lan, the son of Yelu, is We are close friends. There were rumors that he had stayed in the Kingdom of Jin for many years, and that he was responsible for the disaster of Wanyanxi’s father and brother. But this was just a rumor, but it has never been confirmed.”
"If the rumors are true, this person should be included as a key target."
"Yes, I have already asked Xiao Min to pay attention to him." Shen Cha nodded, "Although the other Qi Zhifeng has never served as an official, his father is now the boss of the Southern Privy Council, and his mother is the daughter of the Yelu clan. Together with Yelu Nan and Yelulan grew up together, and the three of them are like brothers. These two are deputy envoys on the surface, but they are the ones who really call the shots in the entire mission, and Xiao Fengqi is just a decoration."
"Yelu... has always been worried about the Xiao family. He does not fully trust the children of the Xiao family. He is afraid that someone like his grandmother will appear again." Shen Haolin gently clicked on the name of the third deputy envoy on the letter. , "So, this third deputy envoy named Yanxie, do you suspect that he is Wanyanxi?"
"There are three executives named Yan in Linhuang Mansion. One of them is one of our own, and the details are clear. A little inquiry from the other two companies revealed that there is no such person named Yanxie. One of them has never been in Liao. Someone who had appeared in the Imperial Court, or even in Linhuang Mansion, had become the deputy envoy of the Liao Dynasty's congratulatory mission, sitting on an equal footing with Yerunan and Qi Zhifeng. No one had objected. I don't think it was very strange. Is it suspicious? Besides...after this Yanxie appeared, Wanyanxi disappeared mysteriously."
"The Jin Kingdom's envoy only has one special envoy, Wanyan and Wen. Wanyan and Wen are at odds with Wanyan and his daughter. He is the leader of the nobles who rebelled against them during this flood, right?"
"Yes, he also has another identity." Shen Cha turned his face slightly and smiled at Shen Haolin, "The only person who unconditionally supports Wan Yanxi."
"Unconditional support? Even if Wanyanxi uses everything from the Kingdom of Jin to exchange for the throne, he will support it?"
"Well, although they are not biological brothers, they have been close since childhood." Shen Cha nodded, took the secret letter from Shen Haolin's hand, and threw it into the charcoal basin next to the bed. If she hadn't wanted to show it to Shen Haolin, she would have burned this special secret letter immediately after reading it. As for the small box, it contains all insignificant things, which will not expose the informants she arranged in Liaojin. Seeing the secret letter burned to ashes, Shen Cha yawned, leaned on Shen Haolin's shoulder, closed his eyes, and whispered, "Wanyan and Wen are not at odds with Wanyan and his daughter, but they can become Jin The special envoy from China to visit Daxia, brother, don’t you think it’s amazing?”
"Perhaps he was having too much fun in the country. Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping thought he was an eyesore, so they simply threw him out. From the Kingdom of Jin to Daxia, and then from Daxia back to the Kingdom of Jin, Two months have passed. Or maybe..." Shen Haolin lowered his head and looked at Shen Cha who was leaning on his shoulder, half asleep, "Did he do it on purpose?"
"I also think it was intentional." Shen Cha felt that the candlelight was a bit dazzling, so he asked Shen Haolin to put out two of them, and said, "He should have always known about Wanyanxi's whereabouts and provided certain help from time to time, financially. , all in terms of intelligence. Wanyanxi went to Yelu for help, maybe it was his suggestion. He, like Wanyanxi, would not bow to Daxia even if the country was destroyed."
"So, after knowing that Wanyanxi had infiltrated the Liao mission, he also tried to get Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyanping to send him as an envoy to Daxia in order to meet Wanyanxi?"
"That should be it. Otherwise, with the hundred or so people they brought, how could they still want to make a sneak attack? Moreover, I took a look and found that this time there were not even fifty people on the list of Jin's envoys, but the gift of congratulations They are all very valuable. Obviously they don't take this special envoy seriously. It would be interesting to send such a small number of people to escort such expensive gifts if they encounter robbers." Shen Cha sneered, "Then The father and daughter wish that Wanyan and Wen would commit suicide on their own and die on the way to this mission!"
"After entering Jiapingguan City, our people will follow him at every stop, and we will definitely let him return to Yiqing Mansion safely." Shen Haolin held Shen Cha in his arms, "The envoy from Liao and Jin Dynasties When will he arrive? Will he be able to meet you here?"
"Based on the day of departure, the Liao delegation will arrive on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. They used to have lunch here and then pass directly through the city. They would not spend the night in the city. I think it will be the same this time. Yes. The Jin Kingdom’s envoy came to us on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, so they will not meet here at all.”
"It seems that we are planning to meet in Beijing." Shen Haolin sighed, "Remember to send a message to His Majesty tomorrow, a little more obscurely, so that the shadow can be delivered to His Majesty as soon as possible. Oops, I suddenly feel in a good mood. "
"Is it because you found something interesting for His Majesty?"
"Yes, it saves him from messing around during the Chinese New Year. With envoys from the two countries attracting his attention, Bai Meng's pressure should be less, right?"
"Brother...have you started to cherish Bai Meng?" Shen Cha pouted, "Brother Xiaotian said that he is always against you. In fact, he is against Brother Xiaotian, right? Because the commander-in-chief has admired him since he was a child. Brother, I want to be like Brother Xiaotian and fight side by side with him. It’s a pity that the opportunity was taken away by Brother Xiaotian, so he won’t be willing to do it and jumps up and down all day long, right?”
"Well, why do I smell a sour smell?" Shen Haolin lowered his head and glanced at Shen Cha with his eyes closed tightly, his face and ears slightly red, "Cha is jealous? Don't worry. That guy Bai Meng will never replace you, never."
"Brother!"
"Are you embarrassed?" Seeing Shen Cha's eyes widening, Shen Haolin smiled, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, don't be angry!" Shen Haolin patted Shen Cha on the back, "Be good. , have a good sleep, and we’ll talk about anything tomorrow!”
"Okay, brother, go to bed early too, good night!"
Shen Haolin blew out the last candle, closed his eyes and waited for a long time. Hearing Shen Cha's breathing slowly become steady, he opened his eyes.
Holding the sleeping person tightly in his arms, he suddenly felt a sense of relief. It seemed that his Cha'er didn't have feelings for him, he just didn't realize it, otherwise he wouldn't be embarrassed, so he just needed to Just stay with her and wait for her to slowly understand.
