In the middle of the feast, the servants brought Harya's special wine, plum wine, and a pot at each table. Ye Shu nodded to his subordinates, General Wu Lianghe, Wu Lianghe immediately got up, poured a glass of plum wine, and raised his glass to everyone at the banquet, "This great victory, His Royal Highness and the Prince of Xichang have made the greatest contributions, which makes our generals admire." I propose that everyone raise a glass to His Highness and King Xichang. ”

Everyone got up with wine, and Shen Kuo, the king of Xichang, raised his glass to face everyone, "His Royal Highness has made a great contribution, and this king is only doing his best." ”

"King Xichang is polite. Ye Shu also smiled and raised his glass, everyone drank it all, and a flash of cunning flashed in Ye Shu's eyes. Ye Shu sat down first, and everyone sat down closely.

Suddenly, Ulianghe covered his stomach, his eyebrows were furrowed, his face was not good, he foamed at the mouth, and shouted, "There is something wrong with this wine!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and just wanted to get up, but they had an unbearable headache, foaming at the mouth one by one, and they fell to the ground unconscious, Ye Shu also foamed at the mouth and fell, and only Shen Kuo was safe and sound.

Ye Shu struggled and pointed at Shen Kuo, "It's you!"

Shen Kuo suddenly smiled, "I thought that His Royal Highness King Gong would come up with some way to get rid of me, but I didn't expect His Highness to use this trick." It was despicable and shameless, which made Shen admire. ”

"Come on, take down the traitor!" Ye Shu scolded angrily, but there was no movement outside the door.

"The assassins arranged by His Highness, my subordinates have already taken care of them. It seems that the play arranged by His Royal Highness is still not well thought out. You sang a good show, but you didn't expect me to come to the bottom of the kettle. ”

Ye Shu suddenly laughed, stood up very calmly, and didn't have anything to do. He looked at Shen Kuo contemptuously, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, "Your self-righteousness and arrogance will eventually kill you." ”

"What do you mean by this?" Shen Kuo was still calm.

"Come, take down the traitor. Ye Shu scolded angrily, and the maids and servants who had fallen to the ground got up one after another, took off their coats, revealing the bright armor inside, pulled out the saber beside him, and surrounded Shen Kuo's people.

"You have calculated everything, you shouldn't have thought that this king left an extra hand. Ye Shu said with a smile, "Shen Kuo, the king of Xichang, has conspired against him and has now been ambushed." If you will submit to this king and take refuge in his family, he may spare your life. But if you insist on resisting, then the king can only be guilty of treason, and you will be punished on the spot to set an example!"

"Hahahahahaha Don't forget King Yi's princess Shen Anran, but the king's favorite youngest daughter. With her, this king will never take refuge in His Highness. ”

"What's the matter?" Ye Shu smiled, "In the future, this king will ascend the throne, as long as you get rid of Ye Ji, a big trouble, you will be the number one hero King Xichang, and your daughter Miss An Ran, this king can consider sealing a concubine and enjoying the glory and wealth." ”

"Your Highness is really joking. You have Princess Beixuan as your wife, but you ran to provoke Xiao Xiang's only daughter, and now, you have an idea of peace again, and you are really suave. Shen Kuo sneered.

"What does it matter. Ye Shu disagreed, "Marrying a wife and concubine is just to consolidate the regime and attract a few more helpers for his road to imperial power." Isn't this the case with my father, the current emperor?"

"If I don't submit to Your Highness today, I'm afraid that your head will fall to the ground, and Your Highness will say yes or no?"

"Actually, I admire His Excellency King Xichang very much, and I don't plan to kill you. Ye Shu smiled, "Detain him first, and take strict care of him, if there is anything wrong with the king of Xichang, or if the person disappears, this king is the only one who asks!"

"Yes. ”

......

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the original Huai Mansion, and Fulie Beiyao, who was very gentlemanly in Yelan, got out of the carriage, and a masked man suddenly stepped forward and saluted Yelan, "Your Highness." ”

Lie Beiyao was a little surprised, Ye Lan waved his hand, turned to Lie Beiyao and said, "I have some things, you go back to the house to rest first." ”

"Then I won't bother Your Highness. Lie Beiyao smiled.

Yelan gently brushed her hand over her face, "Hmm. ”

After seeing Lie Beiyao leave, Ye Lan glanced at the masked man, and the two came to the corner.

The masked man looked around and lifted the veil. It turned out that he was none other than one of the Temple's top killers, Shui Xuan.

"Is there something urgent?" If it wasn't for something very important, Shui Xuan would definitely not meet with him. "Back to the top, the news just came, because the subordinates felt that it was very important to the top, so they came in person. ”

Say. Yelan said in a deep voice.

"King Gong set up a Hongmen banquet, and the king of Xichang was in the scheme, and now the people have been detained by King Gong. Ann is charged with rebellion. Shui Xuan made a long story short, "Superior, should we make a move." ”

"No, I don't. Ye Lan shook her head, "This is a matter between Ye Shu and Ye Ji, let them handle it themselves." All you have to do is get the news to Night's ears. ”

"The subordinates understand. "Shui Xuan made a move. Just as he was about to leave, Yelan stopped him. "Bai Tu is back, arrange it, spread this matter to the capital, and it must reach the ears of Emperor Zhaoning. ”

"Yes. ”

......

"Master, you have detained Shen Kuo, but he will not surrender to us. Shen Kuo's words at the banquet were also what this king thought, why not kill it and take the military power over?"

Nan Xuanji smiled, his laughter had an indescribable insidiousness, which made people creepy.

"If you kill him, Your Highness will not be able to gain military power. On the contrary, there are many benefits to keeping him. ”

"Oh?"

"As His Highness said, but keeping Shen Kuo can balance Shen Kuo's soldiers and some generals in the army. Instead, he killed him, gathered the grievances of the soldiers, and was not conducive to His Highness's overall control. Nan Xuanji talked eloquently, "Shen Kuo's daughter Shen Anran is King Yi's favorite concubine, King Yi regards her like a jewel, with Shen Kuo, he can contain his daughter, and he will contain King Yi." In fact, I never thought that Shen Kuo would submit to His Highness, if he was like this, I would be suspicious. ”

"The king understood. Ye Shu nodded, "Next, we should hold the military power in our hands, hide this in advance, and take the overall situation into our own hands." ”

"In addition, the armies of King Guang and King Qi are also coming......" Nan Xuanji was meaningful, "Your Highness doesn't think this is a good opportunity?"

"The king understands. Ye Shu smiled and nodded.
