Chapter 743 Song Jinxiu, that bastard
In the cold winter, there is heavy snow and the sky and the earth are all white.
Compared to Shengjing of the Great Wei, the Beiling Imperial City is even colder.
After nightfall, all lights in the imperial city were turned off, but Princess Chuyun's mansion was still brightly lit. The charcoal brazier in the room crackled as it burned. A burly guard stood outside the door, his eagle eyes looking around vigilantly, and the servants in the courtyard had long been sent away.
It was unusually quiet outside. Inside, several people were sitting on the ground. They were wearing loose, thick fur robes and had dark skin.
The woman sitting at the top was wearing a red waisted fur coat, and the jewel pendants on her forehead made her face look gorgeous. The man sitting next to her was wearing a long robe with thick brocade, his clothes were completely different from the others, and his face was also gentle and handsome, completely different from the others below.
A bearded man below slammed the table with a rough sound.
"Damn Xiahou Ling! Your Majesty had already agreed to let Sang Qina lead the troops and the Prince Consort supervise them today, but he got in the way and stopped us. He even slandered His Majesty and told the bastards from the Wanhu tribe to come and steal military power from our Zongyu tribe!"
"And the Wanhu tribe! They rebelled together with the San tribe. If the Khan hadn't spared their lives, they should have all been killed!"
A nearby person's face darkened upon hearing this. "Forget about Xiahou Ling. That blind man is so ambitious and has always wanted to take power in the Imperial Preceptor's Office. He's been against us for years, but at least he's on Beiling's side. But that Song guy, a traitor expelled and hunted by the Wei Dynasty, is the Khan crazy to actually trust him?"
"More than just trusting him, with Xiahou Ling as a guarantor, the Khan actually let him enter the royal tent as an official. He must have had his brain eaten by a wolf."
"He's from Wei, born cunning, treacherous, treacherous, and shameless. Not to mention he's been an official in the Wei Dynasty. None of those Wei people are good..."
"Takulin!"
The woman at the top of the table suddenly uttered a low curse, and the stone bone wine bowl in her hand fell to the table with a "bang".
The man who had just spoken was stunned for a moment, looked up at the unhappy face of the woman, suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned his head to look at the man sitting next to her, his expression changed.
"Princess, I'm not talking about the prince consort..."
How could he have forgotten that their son-in-law Ji Rongqing was also from Wei.
I heard that the prince consort had been living on the border between Beiling and Wei before he met the princess, and his parents and relatives were all killed by the people of Wei Dynasty. He was naturally close to Beiling, but his blood, identity, appearance and looks were the same as those spineless people of Wei Dynasty. He looked gentle and refined, and didn't look like a Beiling man at all.
However, Tuo Lin did not dare to underestimate Ji Rongqing at all, not only because the queen and the princess valued him very much, but also because he had once made the imperial teacher Xiahou Ling suffer a great loss with his understatement, and helped their Zong Yu tribe regain a large part of the court power, allowing them to almost overshadow the power of the Zong Yan tribe behind the Khan.
This prince consort looks weak and gentle, but his methods are fierce and ruthless.
If someone really looked down on him because of his appearance, they would probably die without even knowing how.
Everyone present had witnessed Ji Rongqing's methods. Tuo Lin, who had just spoken out wildly, looked terrified and lowered his head, "Prince Consort, I wasn't talking about you just now. I just hate that Song guy helping that blind man Xiahou Ling ruin our plans."
"It was clearly you who planned the Zhaozhou incident several times, intending to use those two border towns to make a big move. But Xiahou Ling ordered his men to intervene and reap the benefits. Now he's trying to team up with that Song Jinxiu to ruin our plans."
"I just feel sorry for the Prince Consort, nothing else..."
Ji Rongqing smiled when he heard this: "I know."
He had a very good appearance, but his complexion looked pale due to a long illness. The blue robe he wore was different from Beiling's plain and elegant clothes, making him look even more gentle like jade.
Ji Rongqing said, "Ever since Song Jinxiu entered Beiling, he's been relying on his knowledge of Wei officialdom to curry favor with the Khan, frequently helping Xiahou Ling oppose us. I naturally understand General Tuo Lin's dislike for him."
"As for the matter in Zhaozhou..."
His eyes flashed, and he thought of the battle report from a few days ago, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
"I'm also angry that they ruined the situation in Zhaozhou. We worked so hard to create that opportunity, but they took advantage of it. Fortunately, the princess noticed it in time and withdrew our people. Otherwise, we would have been slaughtered along with the Wei people that day."
Hearing this, Takulin gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, they are really despicable!!"
What's the point of slaughtering only two border towns? There were obviously places with greater use, but they were destroyed by that blind man Xiahou Ling and that dog thief named Song.
Xiahou Ling was fine, as he had been accumulating power in Beiling for many years and had always been treacherous and disgusting. They didn't find it strange that he could do these things, but Song Jinxiu who suddenly appeared was simply a thorn in their side.
The stray dog of the Wei Dynasty was chased all the way and fled in a panic, but now he has transformed into the "new noble" of Beiling.
When they thought of Song Jinxiu's background, everyone present was filled with contempt and disgust.
That bastard surnamed Song came to Beiling several months ago. Before entering Beiling, he was hunted down by people sent by the Wei court. The Wei court made such a big fuss that it alarmed the spy left there by Xiahou Ling. The spy was discovered by the seriously injured Song Jinxiu while he was curiously investigating. Song Jinxiu kowtowed and begged for mercy, and his words revealed his hatred for the Wei court. The spy was "moved" by him and brought the nearly dying Song Jinxiu back to Beiling.
At the beginning, Xiahou Ling just wanted to use the fact that Song Jinxiu had served as an official in the Wei Dynasty to find out some things in the Wei Dynasty court. They didn't take it seriously. But later, for some reason, Song Jinxiu stayed in the National Master's Mansion and not only gained Xiahou Ling's trust, but was also introduced to the Khan.
Most of the people in the Beiling court were rough and uncouth, and there were very few "literati" who were good at court affairs. Song Jinxiu, with his experience in the Wei court, his sweet talk, and his knees that could bend at any time, actually won the favor of the Khan.
Tuo Lin couldn't help but curse, "That Song Jinxiu is a spineless coward. How can he be a good person if he can betray the Great Wei? Who knows, he might betray us Beiling one day."
"The Khan actually wanted to bring him into the army. He even tried to slander the prince consort before, almost causing the Khan to misunderstand the princess. If it weren't for Xia Houling's protection, I would have sent someone to kill him long ago."
"Okay, what are you doing shouting about fighting and killing all day long?"
Princess Chuyun's name was Arishan, and her Chinese name was Wuya. She sat on the carpet at the top, frowned and scolded:
"Song Jinxiu is the Khan's new favorite, and he's protected by Xiahou Ling. How can he be killed without authorization?"
If she could really kill him at will, she would have done it long ago. Why should she endure it?
Wu Ya lectured him for a few words before turning to look at Ji Rongqing:
"Rong Qing, Sang Qina was stopped today, and the command of the troops fell into the hands of Xia Houling's men. What should we do next?"
