Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 315 The King Is Dead (19)
Shi Yan didn't expect that when he came back from meritorious service, not only did he not receive any courtesy, but he also offended the emperor when he met him. It was the letter of surrender from Beiliao. Although it was written by the concubine, it was stamped with the king's seal of Beiliao. Now that the letter of surrender is with the hostages, Beiliao has formally surrendered. You only need to be a minister to rectify the military affairs there. The Northern Liao can be officially assigned to our territory of the Southern Liao."

A smile appeared on Tao Yu's face, he reached out to take the letter of surrender, and said, "General Shi, hurry up and calm down, it's been hard work to pacify the Northern Liao Dynasty this time, and I will reward you heavily for such an extraordinary achievement."

As he spoke, he took out the surrender book to read.

Xianglai took this opportunity to whisper to Shi Yan: "General Shi, from now on Beiliao will be in the hands of the general, please treat the people of Beiliao well, and I will also send a letter to my king, asking him to obey the general's order, The general must not treat him harshly..."

Although her voice was low, the pavilion was silent, and Tao Yu was only three feet away, so she could hear her clearly.Although he was stupid, he couldn't even hear what Xianglai said, but he could only hear Xianglai's meaning, and couldn't think about more things, so his heart sank again.

He put the letter of surrender in his hand back into the box, and said: "Why is General Shi still going to Beiliao? Didn't the letter of surrender say that the army of Beiliao was halved and it was only used for defense against border aggression, and all other troops were dismissed?" , General Shi, why bother, if you want to send the supervising army, just send someone else, General Shi has worked hard and made great achievements, so let's take a good rest in the capital for a while!"

Shi Yan knew that there was Xianglai present, so it was impossible for him to ask for this decree, as long as he gave up temporarily, he was going to persuade the emperor to agree another day, and at the same time secretly regretted in his heart that he had underestimated this woman, and he had been subjected to her provocative method before, and he put what he thought in his heart Saying it out made the woman start plotting against herself when she saw the emperor.

In fact, he was thinking too much, even without what he said just now, Xianglai would not let him go back to Beiliao easily.

Tao Yu's mind was able to stay on state affairs for a very short time, and in a blink of an eye, he turned his attention to Lian Xiangjin who was kneeling on the ground.

Lian Xiangjin was born beautiful, but after all the tossing and tossing, she became even more slender, knelt there weak and graceful, very pitiful, Tao Yu liked her more and more, pointed to her and asked Shi Yan, "Who is this woman?"

Shi Yan replied: "My lord, this woman is the deceased third concubine of Beiliao, she and those two are the ministers who have made great contributions to the pacification of Beiliao. If it weren't for her persuasion, General Lu and his son would not have turned to the light and helped me The Southern Liao army marched into the hinterland of the Northern Liao to besiege the capital."

Tao Yu heard the words and said repeatedly: "Oh, so that's the case, the third princess is really a wise woman, please hurry up, please hurry up!"

Lian Xiangjin was very happy to receive Tao Yu's praise, she stood up from the ground and said with a smile: "Minnv thanked the emperor, the minnv just did something in line with the way of heaven, and it is not worthy of the emperor's praise!"

After hearing her words, Xianglai almost couldn't spit it out, thinking that this Lianxiang brocade is really something to hear, if it is the way of heaven to give Beiliao to this stupid king, then this world is really unreasonable.

When she was thinking about it, Tao Yu turned her eyes to Lian Xiangyin again, and said, "Who is this person?"

Although Lian Xiangyin is not as beautiful as Lian Xiangjin, she has a refined temperament, and she does not seem to have the charm of a mature woman.

Shi Yan saw that his gaze never left the woman, and Lu Fusheng on the side hadn't looked at her until now, so he couldn't help feeling angry, but he still replied patiently: "This is the sister of the third concubine, the wife of General Lu, Lu Fusheng The general turned out to be the general of the Northern Liao frontier army. If he hadn't beheaded the Northern Liao army to seize military power, transfer the original Qin Kai's army, and then lead our army through several checkpoints, our army would never have succeeded in raiding the capital. , so General Lu of Pingbei deserves the most credit for this matter!"

Tao Yu finally took a look at Lu Fusheng this time, and said, "Oh, that's how it is. General Lu invites you, Mrs. Lu invites you quickly. After I have discussed it with all the ministers, I will reward General Lu heavily."

Lu Fusheng and Lian Xiangyin finally got up from the ground.

Tao Yu looked at Lian Xiangjin, then at Xianglai and Lian Xiangyin, and smacked his lips in admiration: "Tsk tsk, the soil and water in Beiliao really nourish people. Look at these three women, they are all like flowers and jade, even Pregnant women are more beautiful than my Southern Liao women, General Shi’s harvest in Northern Liao is good, I not only have a granary, but also a place to choose beauties, it really suits my heart.”

Xiang Lai raised his heart that he really went to Beiliao to ask for a beautiful woman, and said quickly: "The emperor is wrong, in the bitter cold place of Beiliao, most of the women are strong and strong, but it is because of the special blood of the Lian family, that's why the girls are so attractive. some."

"A family?" Tao Yu asked strangely: "Could it be that the princess means that you are all a family?"

Xiang Lai said: "Although I am not ashamed to be of the same blood as them, in fact I and they are really the same grandfather."

"Oh!" Tao Yu pretended to be surprised, and said, "The blood of your family is really good, no wonder there are many similarities in your faces."

Seeing him constantly praising Xianglai and the three of them, the women who hugged him before were jealous, and they all came over and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, when will your political affairs be finished? All the concubines can't wait!" !"

Tao Yu hurriedly said: "Okay, I'm coming..."

As he said that, he said to Shi Yan: "Okay, General Shi, let's go down first, I will discuss with the ministers about the reward some other day."

Shi Yan replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, but I don't know how to arrange the hostage?"

Tao Yu glanced at Xianglai twice, with irresistible lust in his eyes, and said: "Since they are hostages, of course it is safe to hold them in the palace! Hmm... and the third concubine, there is nowhere to go If you have gone, let her stay with me, it happens that there are many women in my palace to accompany her!"

Shi Yan was startled when he heard this, and said: "Your Majesty, is this not good? The third concubine is the wife and sister of General Lu, so she is not homeless, and besides, she is in the mourning period, so the Emperor left her in the harem. , If this is spread... it will be indecent!"

Tao Yu didn't expect Shi Yan not only to have no wink but also to be so bold that he dared to accuse himself of being immoral, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said angrily, "Shi Yan! Do you think you can dictate to me just because you have made meritorious deeds! Such audacity to criticize me! It would be indecent for the third concubine to stay in the palace, wouldn’t it be indecent to live in a brother-in-law’s house so no one would discuss it!”

Shi Yan realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty calm down, it's because I'm talking too much, if the third concubine is willing, then stay in the palace."

Tao Yu was secretly annoyed when he saw that he was barely speaking, and said, "Forget it, you should report back and go back to the residence!"

Shi Yan said: "Yes, I will resign as a minister. General Lu and his wife are also temporarily placed in the minister's mansion, waiting for news from the Holy Majesty."
