Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 620 The Flower Hall Proceedings 1.0

On the second day after receiving the secret letter from Yiqing Mansion, Wan Yanxi, who had just recovered from a serious illness, met Song Jue in the flower hall of Zhen Guogong Mansion.

Song Jue greeted the Empress Dowager after she came down to court, took Song Qiyun's micro-clothes out of the palace, and came to the Duke's Mansion to meet Wan Yanxi.

Because of Wanyanxi's special status, it is better for an envoy from a foreign race not to enter and leave the palace so frequently. Although they are now in a cooperative relationship, they must guard against others. Therefore, they chose the Zhen Guogong Mansion as the place to meet. Place.

In addition to the hosts Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, Bai Meng who brought Wanyanxi was with him. These four people plus the Song family brothers, this event was called by later generations to completely change the pattern of Xia, Jin and Liao. The protagonists of "Flower Hall Discussion" are all here.

Song Jue had heard from Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao before meeting Wan Yanxi that this child was greatly stimulated after meeting Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Gao, and committed suicide at one point. It can even be said to have turned around in front of the gate of hell.

Originally, he thought that these two girls were exaggerating. With Wanyanxi's background, he had been homeless for more than ten years and had never thought of committing suicide. How could he not want to live after seeing the secret work of his school? In line with common sense.But when he saw it today, he was really taken aback. He even felt that Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao's expressions were a bit understatement.

Not only was Song Jue frightened, but Song Qiyun, who hadn't seen Wanyanxi for several days, was also frightened. Looking at the pale face in front of him, without a trace of blood, his cough was earth-shattering, and he was so weak that he seemed to be dying in the next moment. Wanyanxi who disappeared in front of their eyes, he couldn't get in touch with the previous vigorous Wanyanxi who could choke with him, these are completely two people.

Brothers Song Jue and Song Qiyun glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time. It seems that they were mistaken. Wanyanxi is also a very serious person who is easy to think too much.

"The foreign minister Wan Yanxi has met His Majesty the Great Xia Emperor!"

Although he recovered from a serious illness, but this time the illness was too serious and hurt his vitality. Wan Yanxi always felt that he had no strength at all, and his whole body was limp.If it wasn't for Song Jue sitting in front of him, he would have to salute, and he really didn't want to move.

"You are still sick, so don't be too polite!" Song Jue asked Mei Lin and Mei Zhu to help him sit up quickly, "You are already sick like this, you should take a good rest, and wait for anything urgent Let’s talk about it when you’re sick.”

"Thank you two sisters." Wan Yanxi thanked Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, and bowed slightly to Song Jue, "Returning to Your Majesty, the ministers have been thinking about a lot of things these days when they are ill, and some words are kept in their hearts. It's been too long, if I don't say it again, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to say it in the future."

"Why?" Seeing him like this, Song Jue shook her head disapprovingly, "You are so young, it's not okay to be so depressed! Your wild thoughts are all because you are sick, and when you are completely cured Now, you will feel ashamed of yourself now."

"Brother Huang is right." Song Qiyun echoed, "Sick people are relatively fragile and think of the bad. When you recover, you will find that life is still pretty good." The cheeks looked at Wanyanxi, "Well, compared to the current Wanyanxi who is not angry, I still like the Wanyanxi who bickers with me better."

Mei Lin and Mei Zhu listened to the greetings of these people, and served them hot tea and snacks. Because of Wan Yanxi's health, everyone else drank tea, but he was ginseng soup. This is Jin Miaomiao I told you before going out.

After serving tea, the two left the flower hall and guarded the door with Ying Shisan. No one was allowed to approach at will without the instructions of the people inside.

"First of all, what I want to say is, thank you for taking care of me these days." Wan Yanxi cupped his fists at everyone, "Thank you."

"The visitor is a guest, that's what it should be." Shen Cha glanced at Wanyan Xi lightly, "Mr. Wanyan, you don't have to be polite, tell me what you think!"

"Okay!" Wan Yanxi nodded, and slowly said what he had been bored in his heart these days.

I said these words to Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao once before, and now I say them again, and it is more affectionate and touching than the previous time.

Song Jue listened to Wan Yanxi's words with a smile on his face, nodded as he listened, secretly thinking in his heart, this illness was not in vain, after this illness, this kid really grew up, and he just arrived in Xijing Compared with that time, he has grown a lot.

"Is this what you want to tell me?" After Wan Yanxi finished speaking, Song Jue smiled at him, "It's already pretty good for you to think so."

"Your Majesty the Emperor's praise is ridiculous, and foreign ministers are ashamed. These..." Wan Yanxi sighed, "I should have thought about it a long time ago, but unfortunately, I was blinded by hatred and only thought about my own affairs, but I didn't think about it. The common people." He looked at Shen Cha, "The general is right, I am the future of the Jin Kingdom first, and then the son and younger brother of my father and brother. I uttered nonsense in front of Your Majesty before, and the ministers... feel ashamed."

"It's good that you can figure out what you want and how to do it. If you can't figure it out, we will still help you, but the extent to which we will help you depends on whether your life is enough. Alright." With Song Jue's tacit consent, Song Qiyun raised his eyebrows at Wanyanxi as he said, "Now that you have figured it out, I can tell you some things. I hope you can calm down after listening. "

"Please speak, Your Highness."

"You know, ever since Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyanping's father and daughter took power in the Kingdom of Jin, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued in the Kingdom of Jin. In the past year, there have been more and more tragedies, so that in addition to some big nobles, some small nobles and The lives of ordinary people are very difficult. The little nobles still have some property and savings in their hands. As long as they save money, they can barely survive, but it is absolutely impossible to be as extravagant as before. As for ordinary people... ..." Song Qiyun shook his head lightly, "Suffering is the best way to describe it."

"The disaster at the end of last year made it worse for the people who didn't have enough to eat and didn't wear warm clothes." Shen Cha sighed softly, "We don't know the situation of Yiqing Mansion very well. This border, it can be said that the people are in dire straits, and even those families of merchants have starved to death and froze to death.” She glanced at Wan Yanxi, “At that time, you should be in the Prince Regent’s Mansion in Linhuang Mansion, how much Listened a little too."

"Yes, the Liao Kingdom originally wanted to help, but..."

"It was rejected by Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping, right?" Seeing Wanyanxi nodding, Shen Cha sneered, "They also refused our help, and at the same time they did something appalling."

"What is it?"

"A few days after the disaster happened, many refugees from the Kingdom of Jin wanted to seek help from us and the Liao people. They even crossed the border and arrived at the border between Jiaping Pass City and the Liao people. They can enter the customs smoothly. , but Wanyanping sent people to arrest him."

"...Take it back? A refugee?"

"Yes." Shen Cha nodded confidently, "They ended up being beheaded on the charge of collaborating with the enemy. If I remember correctly, there were more than [-] refugees from the Kingdom of Jin who went to Jiaping Pass, and none of them survived. "

It was the first time for Wanyanxi to hear this story. He looked at the people in the flower hall blankly. From their expressions and reactions, it could be seen that this incident was not Shen Cha's nonsense, but something that really happened.

"Bang!" Wan Yanxi slapped the table hard, causing the soup bowl on the table to tilt due to the external force, and a small part of the ginseng soup inside spilled on the table.

"I said it before, I hope you calm down."

"General, I'm very calm!" Wan Yanxi was so angry that she trembled all over, and her already bloodless face became even paler, "I can't let her go on doing evil things, I have to let her do what I have done, Pay the price for what you have done!" He knelt down on the ground and saluted Song Jue, "The foreign minister begs His Majesty the Emperor to help the foreign minister!"
