The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 234

The cold winter has arrived, the wind is strong, and the side hall of the Khitan Imperial City is as warm as spring.

The cold wind howls outside the window, and the ground dragon in the hall is burning hot. Coupled with the lingering smoke of ambergris in the gilded crane copper furnace, the atmosphere in the hall is harmonious.

Xiangguo Xiao Fengxian moved his butt uneasily, so that he could stay away from the Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi who was behind the imperial case. The emperor's complexion is not good-looking now.

"Before and after 10,000+ soldiers were killed, 30 people fled, and you dare to hide it from me. This is all a good thing done by your idiot brother!"

Although Xiao Fengxian is used to coaxing the emperor, but at this juncture, he has nothing to say.

A bone twisted to the ground, Xiao Feng first kowtowed his head like pounding garlic, and begged for mercy: "I was also deceived by him, I didn't expect the frontline war to be so corrupted, so far, only His Majesty's personal conquest can wipe out the Jurchens and wipe out the Northeast."

Yelu Yanxi hesitated a little, turned his head, and said: "Absurd, I am the king of ten thousand chariots, rich in the world, and I have to go out to fight against mere Jurchens? It's really unreasonable..."

It wasn't that he was afraid, it was just that he heard the howling of the north wind outside, and he felt a little guilty in his heart.

On such a cold day, Xiao Fengxian, a bastard, wants me to go out to suffer from the cold...

As for the strength of the Jurchen, he didn't take it seriously. No matter how brave and brave the Jurchen was, it could not shake the Khitan's national foundation.

The Bohai people and Shiwei people who are also on Tokyo Road are more threatening than Jurchen in the eyes of Khitan monarchs and ministers.

In order to preserve his wealth, Xiao Fengxian would definitely not let the members of the Yelu family be in command, otherwise, with this credit, if someone in the clan rises up, the first thing he will do is to kill himself.

And did the Xiao family rest assured that they would send out their younger brother Xiao Sixian to lead the army? The former sent his younger brother Xiao Sixian to cause such a big mess, and he was unwilling to take any more risks.

It's better to simply tease the emperor's personal conquest. Xiao Feng first raised his head, his forehead was already red and swollen, he climbed up to Yelu Yanxi, leaned closer and said: "Your Majesty, the weather is very cold and it is extremely difficult to march. Why don't you order that all places be strictly guarded until after the beginning of spring?" We summoned troops from the Khitan North Academy, led millions of troops to suppress the border, and let him go to see how the Jurchen can resist. When the time comes, it will be considered as your majesty's spring hunting. We will behead A Guda in Huanglong Mansion, and make a head fish feast, let Let the other barbarians in the Northeast taste it, shock Xiaoxiao, and see who else dares to rebel against Khitan."

When Yelu Yanxi heard this, he was very interested, and the weather will not be so cold by then, and it will be considered as a trip to Tokyo Road, so his expression eased, and he said: "After you go down, arrange the arrangement carefully, and then come out again at that time." If you make a mistake, I will kill you first."

Xiao Fengxian hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, crawled out of the hall, and looked to the northeast, the endless melancholy in his eyes turned into a soft sigh.

Chapter 279 It's Hard To Repent

Gen Yue, Yiqing Hall, Nuan Pavilion.

The whole room was scalded by the fire dragon, making people drowsy.

Empress Zheng wore a pendant jade bunny on her forehead, and wore a pair of gold-woven and wind-haired skirts, holding a gilt hand stove, and comforted her sister softly.

Zheng Yunyao's eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had just cried again, ever since encountering that scandal in Yujie, Zheng Yunyao has been crying every day.

Zheng Shen had no choice but to send her to the palace to meet the queen, hoping that her older sister, who was used to the wind and rain, could enlighten her younger sister.

This marriage was from the Shangguan family that Empress Zheng herself sought out. Originally, those families of civil servants had their eyes high above the top, but after such a shameful incident, it became her own Zheng family, and it was not easy to ask the teacher for punishment.

In the final analysis, I still have a shallow foundation, whether I have any power in the court, and I don't have any children who can show it...

Empress Zheng patted her sister's back lightly, and said: "It's my sister who didn't see people clearly. She never thought that Shangguan Yun's scholarly family is so unbearable. It's a good thing to stop early. There's nothing to cry about."

Zheng Yunyao raised her head, stared and said: "Of course you don't worry, you have already found a husband, and I don't want anyone else!"

Empress Zheng looked at her cute little sister, couldn't help but pat her, and joked with a smile: "Xiao Yaoer is so handsome, I feel distressed when I see it, why don't you worry about not having a man? My sister will find you a good-looking girl." Both are perfect, handsome in the present age. If you cry again and don’t eat, then you will be thin and dry, and no matter what my sister finds for you, I will look down on you.”

Zheng Yunyao had a pure heart, and was so teased by her sister that she burst into laughter, "If you help me find a good husband, I'll eat five big bowls at a meal, and I'll show you how fat I am."

"Well, well, eat it into a small ball, and see which in-law's family dares to want you." Empress Zheng agreed.

Zheng Yunyao was shy and coquettish: "Sister..."

After comforting her younger sister, Empress Zheng muttered in her heart that it was really not an easy task to find a husband's family for her younger sister.

Today's Gaomen dare not get too close to themselves. After all, they are all from a family of scholar-bureaucrats, so there is no need to rely on the harem to stabilize their position.

And those who started from ordinary families are all too old, and secondly, they are ordinary officials who depend on others, and their younger sisters have to suffer hardships with them when they marry.

She thought about it, but she never thought of Yang Lin, because Yang Lin's status was a bit high.

If Yang Lin married his younger sister, then it would not be an official clinging to the empress, but the empress had found a backer or a confidant in the court.

After all, Yang Lin was a rival to Cai Jing and Liang Shi, and Empress Zheng didn't want to tie the Zheng family to his chariot, because she didn't want to offend the other two either.It's just that she didn't want to get in the car, but Yang Lin meant to pull her into the car.

The harem seems to be calm, but in fact there are hidden dangers. I have no sons, but the dead queen has three sons...

Your Majesty is very close to his family, so they all live in Gen Yue, so there is inevitably some comparison.

I was the closest to Concubine Liu Gui, but Concubine Liu Gui was a blessed one who gave birth to two princes in succession.

Thinking of these troubles, Empress Zheng hugged her younger sister and sighed, "You are so worried about me."

When Empress Zheng sighed, she didn't know that his father had already sold her sister...

---

An uninvited guest ushered in Grand Master Zheng's residence.

Now that the power is spreading, Yang Jian, the red and purple official of the police department, came here uninvited with a few members of the police department.

Zheng Shen knew that these people were the private soldiers of the official family, and they were also the eyes and ears of the official family, so he didn't dare to be negligent and greeted them personally.

Yang Jian's appearance is really friendly, he looks like a kind old lady, and she smiles very kindly.

"Grand Master, our family came here uninvited, and I hope Grand Master will forgive me."

Zheng Shen said with a smile: "What did Officer Yang say, I have long wanted to invite you to the mansion to make friends."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and welcomed Yang Jian into the mansion, and sat down in the flower hall.

Yang Jian said with a smile: "It's really a good thing for our family to come this time. To tell you the truth, our family was entrusted by someone to propose marriage for someone."

"Propose marriage?" Zheng Shen murmured: "What kind of marriage are you proposing? Oh! You mean... oh, the family ugliness is publicized, and Daguan Yang made a joke."

It's about Shangguan Jun's face, Yang Jian didn't want to offend anyone, so he didn't mention it, and said with a smile: "Teacher Zheng doesn't know something, our family is entrusted by Yang Tong this time, and we are here to propose marriage."

"Yang Tong?" Zheng Shen thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember any dignitaries in Bianliang called Yang Tong.

Yang Jian chuckled, and said softly: "He has a son named Yang Lin, who is still unmarried."

His fingers trembled, and the teacup he was holding nearly fell to the ground. Zheng Shen said in astonishment, "Yang Lin...Yang... Shaozai?"

"Yang Shaozai, the number one scholar, is young and promising. I believe everyone knows this, so we won't repeat it here."

Yang Lin's life, which still needs to be introduced by others, has long been a topic of discussion in Bianliang, from officials to officials, to traffickers and pawns.

In less than half a cup of tea, Zheng Shen blushed and sent Yang Jian out.

Hearing about sleeve houses, shares, and engagement gifts of millions of dollars made him dizzy.
