Chapter 261 The Han people are still better at playing conspiracy
“Let me go!”
“Let go of the princess!”
Li Yunchu felt the heat coming from the base of his ears, fierce started to struggle.
The maids she brought with her also came to their senses and wanted to step forward to rescue their princess, but were stopped by Sanshui.
Zhao Xing tightly controlled Li Yunchu with both hands, turned to look at the palace maids coldly, and said: "It seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet. Now that the dowry has arrived in the East Palace, you are the people of the East Palace. You can't tell who is the master. What? If it happens again, I'll kill you with a stick!"
"How dare you!"
This was not said by those maids, but by Li Yunchu.
"Then let me show you if I dare!" Zhao Xing sneered: "Come here, drag these people down and kill them with sticks!"
"No!"< br>
Li Yunchu panicked when he heard this, and his tone was a little softer, even a little pleading.
These people are all people around her. They have followed her since she was a child and they are not close friends with her sisters. But now that she is far away in a foreign country, these people are the only ones who can talk to her.
"After all, you have just entered the East Palace, so I will give you some face, but these people don't know the rules and they need to be taught the rules. Sanshui, take them down and let grandma teach them the rules." Zhao Xing said.
It’s not that he is soft-hearted, but if he really wants to do it, Li Yunchu should hate him to death.
Zhao Xing has some desire for Li Yunchu, but he has no feelings. Naturally, he doesn't care whether Li Yunchu hates him or not.
But he still wanted to get some information from Li Yunchu. If he killed all the maids around Li Yunchu, he might not be able to think about it in a short time.
"Yes!" Sanshui heard the words, looked at the maids and said, "Come with me."
The maids did not move when they heard the words, but looked at Li Yunchu .
"You go."
Although Li Yunchu had her back turned to Zhao Xing and could not see Zhao Xing's expression, Zhao Xing's tone was very cold when he just spoke. She was really worried that Zhao Xing would treat her. The maid took action.
Zhao Xing gave her the impression of being a lecherous and rogue person who could do anything.
After hearing this, the maids followed Sanshui out.
"You should also step back." Zhao Xing said to the remaining maids.
After hearing this, several palace maids bowed and left, closing the door.
“Can you let me go now?” Li Yunchu gritted his teeth and said.
Zhao Xing heard this and pushed hard, letting go of Li Yunchu.
Li Yunchu stumbled and fell on the bed.
Just as she was about to get up, Zhao Xing stepped forward, held her hands, and pinned her down.
“Let me go!” Li Yunchu struggled fiercely, but he was no match for Zhao Xing.
After struggling for a while, not only did I fail to struggle away, but I actually made my clothes a little messy, looking embarrassed and panting.
Seeing that she had lost her strength, Zhao Xing smiled and said: "Today is our wedding night. It's getting late, so let's take a rest."
After saying that, Zhao Xing leaned down and pressed his hand on Li Yunchu's neck. Kissed.
Li Yunchu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and struggled violently again.
But since she left for Bianjing, she has had little appetite. She has eaten very little every day for more than half a month, and her body is a little weak.
After struggling a few times, I have already exhausted all my strength.
Zhao Xing has been practicing martial arts all year round and is very strong. She is no match for him.
Not long after, Li Yunchu's cry and the sound of his clothes being ripped were heard in the room.
…………
Zhao Xing looked at the sleeping Li Yunchu, with red and swollen eyes and tears on his face, feeling somewhat unbearable.
He is not a pervert and likes this tone.
The main reason is that Li Yunchu has always been reluctant to get married.
If Li Yunchu had a gentle temper, he would accept his fate now that the matter was settled.
But Li Yunchu had a pampered temperament. Her pampering was different from Ru Lan's.
Ru Lan's arrogance is only between sisters. To put it bluntly, there is no city.
Li Yunchu was raised because of his noble status. It is difficult to adjust to this kind of pampering in a short time.
If Zhao Xing takes some time and Li Yunchu is alone in the Song Dynasty, he will have the opportunity to get into her heart after a long time.
But Zhao Xing doesn’t have that skill, so he can only use special methods.
Zhao Xing picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on.
After putting on his clothes, he lifted the quilt for Li Yunchu and walked out.
…………
In the next few days, Zhao Xing did not go to Li Yunchu's place.
After Li Yunchu experienced that night, he became taciturn. He often sat there in a daze during the day and did not serve tea to Zhang Guifen.
The palace maid reminded her, but she ignored it.
On this day, Li Yunchu sat in front of the window, lying on the table, staring at the snowy scene outside the window.
“Princess, it’s cold, so close the windows, don’t freeze.”
Zhihua walked up behind Li Yunchu. The air-conditioning blowing in from the window made her shiver, and she looked at her princess with some worry.
Li Yunchu ignored her and didn't move.
Zhihua wanted to persuade him again, but at this moment, there was a sound of voices coming from the yard.
Zhi Hua stepped forward and saw through the window that at the entrance of the courtyard, there were two women talking to the palace maid at the door. Although Li Yunchu didn't move, his eyes were looking in the direction of the door.
His eyes stayed on one of the women, who was smiling. Seeing the smile on her face, Li Yunchu felt inexplicably better.
The woman seemed to sense something and looked over, smiling and nodding to Li Yunchu.
At this time, the maid communicating with the two at the door turned around and walked in, while the two women stood at the door without moving.
After a while, a palace maid walked into the room, saluted outside the screen and said: "Concubine, the concubine Sheng from the next yard came to visit and said she wanted to meet the concubine."
"Tell them that the princess doesn't have time to see them." Zhihua said.
"Let...let them come in."
At this moment, Li Yunchu spoke.
After not speaking for several days, Li Yunchu paused and his voice became hoarse when he spoke.
"Princess, you finally spoke." Zhihua cried with joy: "Princess, if you want to see them, go and invite them over."
"Yes!" The maid outside the door responded. One sound, and then the sound of footsteps faded away.
"Close the window." Li Yunchu lifted his cloak and stood up.
Hearing this, Zhihua quickly closed the window and put several pots of charcoal fire in the room. After the window was closed, there was a hint of warmth in the cold room.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and after a while, Rulan walked around the screen, followed by Minglan.
“I have met Concubine Li!” Rulan saluted, Minglan followed and bowed.
Li Yunchu looked at Minglan and said: "Sit...sit down."
After hearing the words and thanking Ru Lan, she sat down and said with a smile: "Concubine Li, I live in Shuanglan Pavilion next door. We are also neighbors. We will move around more in the future."
Li Yunchu just clicked. He nodded and said nothing.
Ru Lan didn't care either, she was talking to herself, looking familiar.
Minglan stood beside Rulan with a smile. When she saw Li Yunchu looking at her, she smiled slightly.
From this day on, Rulan and Minglan would come and sit for a while every day.
After a few times, Li Yunchu also started to communicate with them.
Ru Lan taught her how to play backgammon, but she didn't expect that Li Yunchu was stupider than her.
Originally Ru Lan came here because of Zhao Xing's order, so she came over and sat for half an hour every day to chat with Li Yunchu.
Discovering that Li Yunchu was very stupid at playing backgammon, Ru Lan changed from passive to active.
I come to Li Yunchu to play chess every day and afternoon.
After going back and forth, they actually became good friends. Occasionally, they would drag Yu Yanran along, and the four of them would get together to play mahjong.
…………
Zhao Xing also knew that the movement here was exactly what he wanted to see.
With Minglan's intelligence, it won't take long to get all the information she knows about Xixia from Li Yunchu.
It was the news from the Liao Kingdom that made Zhao Xing confused for a while.
After the cavalry sent by Yelu Chongyuan to harass were surrounded and suppressed, some nobles who supported him came to Yelu Chongyuan to ask for an explanation.
After receiving this information, Zhao Xing found out that the cavalry sent by Yelu Zhongyuan to harass were not his own, but were seconded from the nobles who supported him.
According to Zhao Xing's idea, after Yelu Zhongyuan got the secret recipe of perfume, he should return to his fief and prepare to attack the Liao Emperor.
But it seems that Yelu Chongyuan, in order to give an explanation to the nobles who supported him, actually wrote to the Liao Emperor to launch troops against the Song Dynasty.
The Liao Emperor did not agree, and even ordered Yelu Chongyuan to return to Beijing.
Yelu Chongyuan seemed to be dissatisfied with the Liao Emperor's failure to agree to his sending troops, so he did not comply and remained in Xijing.
What Zhao Xing didn't know was that the Liao Emperor was actually a little moved after receiving Yelu Chongyuan's request to send troops.
But after careful consideration, he gave up. His previous plan had already worked. All the troops and horses borrowed by Yelu Chongyuan were lost. The nobles who lent troops to Yelu Chongyuan were very dissatisfied with him.
Now agreeing to Yelu Zhongyuan's request to send troops will certainly weaken Yelu Zhongyuan's strength, but it will also allow Yelu Zhongyuan to eliminate the dissatisfaction of those nobles.
In this case, his previous plan was in vain.
Instead of gambling, it is better to follow the original plan and win over the nobles who support Yelu Zhongyuan while they are dissatisfied with him.
As long as he can win over those nobles, he can not only weaken Yelu Zhongyuan's strength, but also increase his own strength.
Under the circumstances, the threat of Yelu Zhongyuan will be much smaller, and there is no need to be afraid.
That's why he issued an order to summon Yelu Chongyuan back to Beijing so that he could send people to win over the nobles who supported Yelu Chongyuan.
The Liao Emperor had absolute confidence in winning over those nobles.
According to the Han people who advised him, those nobles were already dissatisfied with Yelu Chongyuan, and it would be best if they could win over him. If they couldn't win over, they would leak the news.
In that case Yelu Zhongyuan will definitely doubt them.
Say this is a countermeasure.
The Liao Emperor was very proud of his reuse of Han people.
In terms of conspiracy and intrigue, it depends on the Han people. The Khitans are far behind in this regard.
Since ancient times, many nomadic peoples have wanted to invade the Central Plains when they were strong.
In the end, they all ended in failure, and some were even assimilated by the Han people.
The Liao Emperor felt that the reason why those people failed was that they were not as powerful as the Han people in conspiracy.
He placed great emphasis on the Han people, and once he had conquered Yelu and Chongyuan, and completely completed the centralization of power, he could start to mobilize troops against the Song Dynasty.
