Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Xu Zizhen glanced at him sleepily: "Fortune teller, save yourself, I don't believe this kind of thing,"

The Taoist laughed lightly: "Young Master, don't say that you don't believe me, the poor Taoist has already calculated that Young Master will have a bloody disaster in the near future."

Xu Zizhen glared at the Taoist priest with his drunken eyes, and said with his tongue out, "I don't have menstruation, where did the blood come from... Uh, a bloody disaster,"

"The poor Taoist has been in the world for decades, and he has never miscalculated with others. If you don't believe the poor Taoist's words, I'm afraid..."

The old Taoist lightly stroked the sparse goatee under his chin, squinted his eyes, and shook his head. He didn't have any sense of immortality, but he looked like an old god stick.

Xu Zizhen looked as if he would pass out at any moment, leaned on the wine jar and glanced at the cloth banner beside the Taoist priest, and said disdainfully: "Guiguzi, tsk, you are just a fortune-teller, I... um, I can count the destiny, You show me how far...how far you go, "

"Destiny, hehe, if you don't want to listen to the poor, you don't need to use such nonsense to perfuse the poor."

"Believe it or not, I'm not afraid to tell you that the defeat of the [-] Xia army at Xingzi Fort would have been...uh, I would've figured it out a long time ago,"

Xu Zizhen obviously drank too much, and he didn't care about other guests in the restaurant, so he shouted loudly. This is the capital of Xixia Kingdom after all, and talking about state affairs is a capital crime. With the defeat of the Xixia army, all the drinkers at the table next to him cast surprised and horrified looks at him.

Guiguzi wasn't as timid as he was, he just smiled and shook his head, and didn't speak any more, but there was a look of complete disbelief on his face.

Xu Zizhen squinted and slapped the table: "Why, I don't believe it,"

Guiguzi said with a smile: "Poverty Dao can also be counted as destiny, last year Jin Guo's attack on Liao Dynasty has already been counted by Poverty Dao."

Xu Zizhen sneered: "You can count too. Then I ask you, do you know when Yelu Yanxi died, how promising Yelu Dashi will be in the future, and who will be the next emperor of Daxia?"

After a series of questions were asked, the smile on Guiguzi's face disappeared, replaced by the same look of horror as those drinkers just now.

Xu Zizhen snorted proudly, turned around and continued to drink, and ignored him again, Guiguzi didn't ask any more questions, but his heart felt like a stormy sea.

Yelu Yanxi is the last emperor of Daliao, Emperor Tianzuo. As early as a few years ago, he fled and disappeared because of the invasion of the Kingdom of Jin. There are rumors that he is hiding in an unknown corner and is still in the dark. Directing the Khitan children to work hard for the restoration of the country and revenge.

And Yelu Dashi is the eighth grandson of Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji. He is proficient in Liao and Han characters, and is very good at riding and shooting. After the death of Emperor Yeluchun, he embraced Concubine Xiao De as empress dowager to guard Yanjing, and later killed courtiers and made himself king.

Two years ago, the Song and Jin coalition forces encircled Yanjing, and Yelu Dashi led two hundred cavalry to break out of the encirclement. He defeated tens of thousands of Song troops and fled, and escaped the Song army's blockade smoothly. His ability to command troops and his sense of timing It can be seen that it is correctly grasped, whether it is literary skills or force, it has left a shocking impression on the world.

The people of the Liao Kingdom hated him deeply, because he was a complete traitor in the eyes of the Khitan people, but no one dared to look down on him. In the spring of the year before last, Yelu Dashi sacrificed green cattle and white horses to heaven, and organized his team to march westward. I don't know where it hit.

Guiguzi just said it casually to satirize Xu Zizhen's nonsense, but he didn't expect the other party to reveal these two mysterious characters, and this is not over yet, Xu Zizhen even said that he knew the next Great Xia Emperor Who it is, you have to know that the crown prince has just passed away, and even Chongzong himself has not yet decided on the position of the new crown prince, so how could he know.

Xu Zizhen drank so much here, Da Ye was already sweating profusely, he didn't drink, so he was naturally sober, Xu Zizhen was full of nonsense after drinking too much, if someone went to the government to report it, it would definitely be a big trouble, At that moment, he didn't care so much, he pulled Xu Zizhen up, and said in a low voice: "Master, you've drunk too much, let's go."

While talking, he took out money from his pocket, carefully counted more than a dozen big money, called Xiaoer to come over to pay the bill, and then hurriedly dragged Xu Zizhen out the door, all of which fell into the eyes of Guiguzi inside.

……

It was late at night, and a bright round moon hung high in the sky. At this time, most of the people in the city had already fallen asleep, but there were exceptions, such as the Xiao Mansion.

The candles in the study room were still on at this moment, Grand Master Xiao sat upright behind the desk, his eyelids were half drooping, his face was expressionless, and there was a person standing in front of the desk with hands hanging down, it was Guiguzi, the iron-mouthed magician who couldn't be counted as Xu Zizhen, at this moment He was standing quietly, without making a sound, and the master did not speak, so naturally he would not overstep.

I don't know how long it took before Grand Master Xiao said slowly: "Tell me, what have you observed in the past few days?"

Guiguzi raised his head slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Go back to Grand Master, then Xu Zizhen is really desperate,"

Grand Master Xiao still didn't raise his eyelids, he just asked indifferently: "How do you know?"

"On the first day, when he entered the restaurant, he used a five taels of silver to pay the bill, and it was the same the next day. On the third day, he went to the palace gate to ask the princess, and bribed the guards at the palace gate, and he paid the bill at night. At that time, I only gave two big money, and today it is even worse, when I paid the bill, I only paid the price according to the restaurant price, and I didn’t pay much for a big guy.”

Grand Master Xiao just listened without any reaction, Guiguzi continued: "It seems that this son did not bring much money when he defected, I am afraid that tomorrow he will not even be able to drink alcohol or live in an inn, and what's more, There is news from the palace that the emperor has lost his patience, and today he lost his temper in the palace, if he hadn't thought about his love for saving the princess, the son's head would no longer be on his neck."

After Guiguzi finished speaking, he lowered his hands and stood without saying a word. Grand Master Xiao seemed to be asleep, and sat on the chair without moving. After a long time, he suddenly spoke again: "In your opinion, is it true or not that Xu Zizhen's defection is true?"

Xiao Taishi and his ministers have an unshakable position in the court, and they can compete with the current emperor with the power of a family, and even use their brains. It can be seen that his thinking is meticulous and he is sophisticated in dealing with the world. Guiguzi followed him For many years, I naturally know the temperament and ability of my master. I am not asking for his opinion, but I have already had a qualitative theory in my heart, but I just listen to other different opinions.

"It's hard to say," Guiguzi thought for a moment and only said these three words, then said after a pause, "But the truth can be found out, and if it's true, you don't need to entangle it anymore. If it's true... this person can be wooed." , "

Grand Master Xiao suddenly raised his eyelids, a gleam flashed in his slightly squinted eyes, and he said with a half-smile, "Whether it's true or not, it's rare for Xu Zizhen to fall into your eyes."
