Chapter 181 Palace Banquet

.

Jiang Ye is a eunuch who has recently become popular in front of Zhao Zhen. Guo Huai doesn't like this person because this person will gradually threaten his status as Guo Huai. For people like Guo Huai who loves power and money, threatening his power and money will make him dislike him. However, Jiang Ye is now surrounded by Emperor Zhao Zhen, so Guo Huai can't do anything to him.

When Guo Huai saw that it was Jiang Ye who came in, he frowned for a moment and said nothing. When he approached, Empress Dowager Liu said, "Jiang Ye, at this time, what's wrong with you coming here? It was the Emperor who asked you to come."

Empress Dowager Liu's tone was not good because she was unhappy at this time. Jiang Ye was very well-behaved and hurriedly leaned down and said to Empress Dowager Liu: "You are the spy sent from the north. The emperor asked the young lady to take it over for the empress dowager to take it. What should I do? I also ask the empress dowager to show you."

Empress Dowager Liu took the spy from Jiang Ye, opened it for a while, and handed it to Guo Huai, saying, "Guo Huai, take a look too. Fang Yu is really amazing. After you have seen it, you will also express your opinions."

Guo Huai took it and saw that Fang Yu had unified the Jurchen tribe in the north. At the same time, this spy also mentioned that the emperor of Liao, Yelu Longxu, would marry the daughter of Li Deming, the King of Zhenxi of Dangxiang, as his concubine. With Guo Huai's IQ, he also knew that the power in Fang Yu's hands was really strong. Now this is forcing the Liao Kingdom to join forces with the Dangxiang people. In name, the Dangxiang people belong to the subjects of the Song Dynasty, but in fact, the Dangxiang people are an independent armed force. If they are alliance with the Liao people, they will be completely independent from the rule of the Song Dynasty. Guo Huai would not be stupid enough to express his opinion on such a major event, and said immediately: "Empress, this Lord Fang is really powerful. In this way, they will gain a firm foothold in the north. In the future, the Liao Kingdom will no longer be able to come south to attack our Song Dynasty."

"Well, you are talking about one aspect. With Fang Yu's threat to Liao in the north, Liao will indeed be unable to sleep or eat in the future. However, now this has forced Liao and Dangxiang people to collude together, which is another trouble for our Song Dynasty. These Dangxiang people are too hateful. My Song Dynasty royal family can be said to be a kindness to them, but they are not satisfied. They are always with wolf ambitions. Alas, what should we do? Let's wait for tomorrow's morning court." Empress Dowager Liu sighed and thought to herself. Now that the general trend of the world has been disturbed by Fang Yu, the enemy, and I really have to think about it carefully. Empress Dowager Liu gently twisted his brows and felt a little more troubled.

"The Empress said that it is true, but it is not my race. Their hearts will be different. Those Dangxiang people are really a group of shameless people. But their total population is only one million, and they cannot make too much waves." Guo Huai saw the sad appearance of Empress Dowager Liu, and could not help but comfort her.

"Well, compared to the Liao Kingdom, the Dangxiang people are much smaller in strength. The only thing that is troublesome is their alliance, Jiang Ye, you go and reply to the emperor. Let's talk about this matter tomorrow's morning court." After thinking for a while, Empress Dowager Liu sent Jiang Ye back.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Liu seemed to be really tired, Guo Huai lowered his body and left, so as not to disturb Empress Dowager Liu's rest. After everyone left, Empress Dowager Liu did not go to rest, but sat there alone, quietly thinking about his thoughts.

The snowflakes in the sky were getting smaller, but Empress Dowager Liu's worries were not able to stop gradually like the snowflakes in the sky. When the sky became dark, a few swaying candles reflected the atmosphere in the hall, which was a bit sad.

Empress Dowager Liu let out a breath of white breath in depression. Fang Yu, have you ever thought about me in that place? Empress Dowager Liu looked at the mouth of white breath in front of him and finally asked softly in her heart.

Fang Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would come to Goryeo for a secret trip, but was stared at by a secret spy from Goryeo. Seeing the old eunuch in front of him bringing the invitation from the Emperor of Goryeo, Fang Yu thought for a while and accepted it. Since the other party invited him, he could not see any malice. He might as well go there. If he could make a secret alliance with Goryeo, it would be helpful for his development in the north. He immediately brought Wen Weiyun, Yang Paifeng and Kudu to the Goryeo Palace.

The Goryeo Imperial Palace is very simple, at least in Fang Yudi's eyes, and its luxuriousness is not as high as a wealthy family in the Song Dynasty. However, the palace walls are relatively high. From this point of view, there is a little meaning of a palace.

Wen Weiyun, Yang Paifeng and Kudu were left outside the palace gate. Fang Yu didn't care about this. He was also a skilled and brave man and didn't care much about the evil of the Goryeo Emperor. Under the leadership of the old eunuch, he came to a side hall in the Goryeo Palace. A banquet was being held here, and there were many Goryeo officials sitting in the table. The banquet had not officially begun. It seemed that someone was waiting for him.

At the gate, a little eunuch shouted in a scream: "The envoy of the Song State and the lieutenant of the cavalry are here."

The lively scene in the hall suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were focused on the door of the hall. Fang Yu was also a person who was used to big scenes. Goryeo's small scene naturally would not make him afraid of the scene, so he walked in slowly.

The Emperor of Goryeo, Xun, sat peacefully in the main seat. Recently, his health was not very good. He also attended the banquet with great energy. The main purpose was to meet Fang Yu, a figure who has risen in recent years. Wang Xun is neither wise nor incompetent. He has never made any big mistakes on the throne of Goryeo for more than ten years. However, at this moment, he is facing a difficult problem. This difficult problem is brought by Fang Yu, who has just walked into the hall. Because of Fang Yu's strong rise, Wang Xun has to consider the future direction of Goryeo.

It is said that Goryeo is now a vassal state of Liao, and it should be with Liao to deal with Fang Yu. However, Fang Yu defeated the Liao army with a very small number of troops one after another. No matter how Liao concealed this matter, Goryeo's spies still investigated clearly. Now Fang Yu has unified the Jurchen tribe and has at least 70,000 warworthy men. Such a strength is enough to make the emperor of Goryeo become half-hearted. For Goryeo people, they are like on the grassland in some aspects.

Whoever is stronger will follow. Although Fang Yu's strength now seems to be far inferior to that of the Liao Kingdom, in Wang Xun's opinion, there is an extremely prosperous and powerful Song Kingdom behind Fang Yu. If Fang Yu has the support of Song Kingdom, his strength will be no worse than that of the Liao Kingdom. Because of this, after receiving the report of the spy, Wang Xun decided to invite Fang Yu, and at the same time he also tested Fang Yu, to see if Fang Yu is really powerful, and to see if he can form a secret alliance with Fang Yu.

Fang Yu's handsomeness made every Goryeo official present secretly praise him. He is worthy of being a person from the Central Plains Song State. His appearance and demeanor are truly a demeanor that only a country in the Celestial Kingdom has. Fang Yu walked to Wang Xun, bent his waist slightly, and said, "The envoy of Song State, Fang Yu, has seen His Majesty the Emperor of Goryeo."

Fang Yu called himself the envoy of Song State, and also asked the emperor of Goryeo that he had such a great backing as the Song Dynasty. If he wanted to attack Fang Yu, he had to think about Fang Yu's idea. When Wang Xun saw Fang Yu say this, he also understood what Fang Yu had made. He smiled and said, "Song State is a country of the Heavenly Kingdom. I have always longed for it, but I have no chance to see him at first. When I saw the envoy Fang today, I calculated some regrets in my heart. Envoy Fang is worthy of being a person from the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom. This handsome demeanor is indeed admirable. I took the liberty to invite envoy Fang to the banquet. Please don't be surprised, please sit here."

Under the guidance of a eunuch, Fang Yu sat at the top of the banquet. Wang Xun said again: "This banquet was held in a hurry. If there is any inappropriateness, I hope Lord Fang will forgive me."

"Where, Your Majesty is so polite. The one who came with me this time was my subordinate and two concubines. I was a little worried that they would be anxious to wait. I wonder if Your Majesty could let them come outside the hall to wait." Seeing that the Goryeo Emperor's attitude was quite enthusiastic, Fang Yu took the opportunity to make his own request. In this way, even if there was something wrong, there was a human-shaped monster with Wen Weiyun and Yang Paifeng's skills, which would be safe.

Wang Xun heard that Fang Yu was going to let the three of them come over, two of them were women, and there was no big danger, so he agreed to Fang Yu's request. At the same time, he thought in his heart that Fang Yu always brought two concubines by his side, and he was really a lustful guy. He thought to himself, no wonder people said that the scholars and doctors in the Central Plains were all very romantic, it seems that it is true.

After Fang Yu thanked Wang Xun, Wang Xun slapped his palms three times. A group of palace maids came out, holding various plates in their hands, and started serving dishes on everyone's tables. Fang Yu knew that the Korean kimchi in later generations were very famous, but Fang Yu did not like to eat them. To put it bluntly, this kimchi was the food eaten by poor people in ancient times. However, in later generations, it became a variety of things and gradually became higher. Fortunately, Wang Xun was also an emperor after all, and was not as shabby as to entertain Fang Yu with kimchi.

After serving a round of dishes, some women came up. Their dresses were a bit exposed and charming, as if they were different from the previous palace maids. They were scattered to the people attending the banquet and pouring wine for these people. Fang Yu looked at the woman who poured wine for him. Her skin was better than snow and her appearance was also good. She was a rare beauty. She thought that Wang Xun was very satisfied with him.

After pouring the wine, the woman smiled at Fang Yu and made an action that surprised Fang Yu.
