After entering Beijing, the emperor personally greeted him in front of the palace gate, and his love for the history of the Xichuan assassin can be seen. Not only that, but the emperor also set up a dinner party to wash away the dust for the history of Xichuan Thorn.

"Back then, King Yun fought with Mochizuki and won a big victory, and he only had such an honor when he returned. ”

"But speaking of which, this Lord Thorn is indeed not ordinary. At that time, the Xichuan bandits were seriously affected, and several assassins sent by the emperor ran back in disgrace, but this assassin was different. After taking office, this assassin has vigorously rectified it, not only to deal with the bandits, but also to lay an important barrier for Shuoyun Tree. It is normal for His Majesty to favor such capable ministers. ”

After Nishikawa entered Beijing, news about him quickly swept throughout Kyoto, and for a while, the streets and alleys of Kyoto were full of news about him. Some even compared him to the Yun King, who had made great achievements in war.

The dinner party set by the emperor was really grand, and even invited important ministers and several ladies in the court.

The Yunwang couple were also invited.

King Yun and the emperor have actually torn their faces apart, and they have secretly competed for I don't know how many times, but they still have to whitewash the peace and play the harmony of the monarch and the minister.

In this dinner, Qu Fufeng is the protagonist. The emperor looked very happy, and there was a smile on his face that was already a little cold. The poor concubine, who was sitting next to him, also had a smile on her face all the time, looking at her husband and brother gently.

is deeply loved by the emperor, and his brother has real power, and he doesn't know how many women he envies.

"The minister and the concubine depend on each other, the two have a very strong relationship, before the minister was always thinking, if someone dares to bully the minister's sister, the minister will definitely break her body into ten thousand pieces!" Qu Fufeng's voice suddenly took on a murderous aura, and when he said this, his eyes swept over Gu Shuiyue, as if he was saying it to her.

This glance is definitely not a coincidence.

This morning, it was no coincidence that Qu Fufeng on the street looked at her.

Qu Fufeng knew her identity, and he also knew the battle between her and Concubine Pian. Qu Fufeng was warning her, and Qu Fufeng was really murderous.

When Qu Fufeng looked over, Gongsun Yi's body suddenly moved, just blocking Qu Fufeng's eyes. Qu Fufeng's eyes became even colder, and soon turned into a smile.

"A few days ago, I dreamed that someone was bullying the concubine. Qu Fufeng said, "The minister was so angry that he wanted to tear her up and feed her to the dog on the spot." ”

"Concubine Ai also said yesterday that Qu Aiqing specially returned to Beijing to celebrate my birthday, and it turned out to make me happy. Aiqing's real purpose is to support Aifei. Fortunately, I didn't do anything to bully Concubine Ai, otherwise I would have made Aiqing jealous. The Emperor smiled with a smile in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the concubine's words are right. In his dream, the minister made the person who bullied his sister worse than dead. The minister woke up and thought that His Majesty doted on his sister, so who would dare to bully his sister? The minister had indeed come to Beijing for His Majesty's birthday. The minister also brought a birthday gift for His Majesty. Qu Fufeng hurriedly said.

The pair of monarchs and ministers had something to say, and they sang a scene together, and many of the people present sang a little uneasy.

The emperor was very interested: "What is the birthday ceremony? The moonlight is just right tonight, so Aiqing will let me see it first." ”

"Xichuan is the hometown of opera, and the minister also learned a song and wanted to dedicate it to His Majesty. ”

"What play?"

"Wang Mang usurped the throne"" Qu Fu Feng Dao.

As soon as Qu Fufeng's words came out, the faces of many people present changed. The emperor seemed to be unconscious, and said with a look of surprise: "Aiqing will not only govern Xichuan for me, but also sing operas, which really impresses me." Come and sing and let me listen. ”

Qu Fufeng didn't shirk it, he just sang like that, and his rough voice sang the opera, and he sang a unique charm.

The banquet is not a good banquet, but it is also a Hongmen banquet.

Gu Shuiyue picked up the wine glass, covered her face with her sleeve, approached Gongsun Yi slightly, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, I can sing it to you." ”

"Good singing. Gongsun Yi was calm, listened with relish, and occasionally beat along with his tunes.

The song Fufeng sang Wang Mang's arrogance and courage to the fullest. How arrogant Wang Mang is, how tragic the fate of him and his minions is.

At the end of the song, the emperor took the lead in applauding. The rest, some of whom were so frightened that their hands and feet went limp, had to applaud as well. Only Gongsun Yi's face remained unchanged, followed by the emperor's applause and applause, and seemed to appreciate Qu Fufeng's opera.

Gu Shuiyue paused and applauded.

The squire of the criminal department died, but the emperor's suspicions had been buried, and they continued to take root, and once he thought of the people who were installed by Gongsun Yi among the courtiers he trusted, he felt restless. I am afraid that this scene was carefully arranged by this pair of monarchs and ministers.

Qu Fufeng's "Wang Mang Usurpation" is obviously alluding to Yunwang Gongsun Yi, and also warned Gongsun Yi's henchmen present.

The words of warning were spoken, the opera was sung, but the dinner had just begun.

"The two people I admire the most are Sun Yi, the prince of Yunwang, and Qu Fufeng, the history of Xichuan Thorn. Gongsun Aiqing is the minister who expands the territory, and Qu Aiqing is the minister who guards the territory. Gongsun Aiqing has taken great pains for Shuoyun, and now he has to not only guard the border pass, but also take care of the safety of Kyoto, which is very difficult in my heart. And Qu Aiqing, in the past, Xichuan was a wild place, but now the people are simple and the people are rich, and I am very pleased. The Emperor said.

"Your Majesty, Xichuan has decided, and the minister is willing to share his worries with His Majesty. "Qufu air duct.

"The matter of garrisoning the frontier is naturally handed over to Gongsun Aiqing, but the safety of Kyoto is entrusted to Qu Aiqing. The emperor said, looking at Gongsun Yi, "What does Gongsun Aiqing think?"

The security of Kyoto is the responsibility of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, which is directly under the command of the emperor and has nothing to do with Gongsun Yi at all. This is not what the Emperor meant by this.

"Lord Qu is brave and strategic, and His Majesty is decisive and wise. Gongsun Yi said.

"Then it was settled. The emperor clapped his head.

"Your Majesty, the safety of Kyoto is of paramount importance, and it must be guarded by trustworthy people. The minister knew that King Yun had a team of Xiaoyun riders under him, and they were all a group of loyal and patriotic warriors. "Qufu air duct.

The drunkard does not mean to drink.

The emperor's real intention lies in Gongsun Yi's Xiaoyun ride.

Xiaoyun Riding is a hole card of Gongsun Yi, and it is stationed outside Kyoto City, which is like a guillotine hanging above his head for the emperor.

As soon as Qu Fufeng entered Beijing, he took Gongsun Yi's Xiaoyun Riding and slashed at King Yun's face.

Gongsun Yi didn't speak for a while.

The emperor's face turned cold.

The atmosphere fell into an extremely stagnant state for a while, and no one present dared to speak.

After a long time, Gongsun Yi spoke: "Xiaoyun rides at the disposal of Master Qu. ”

The emperor's face softened a little, Qu Fufeng laughed loudly, and made a gesture towards King Yun: "Then thank King Yun for cutting love." ”

By this point, the true purpose of the dinner had been achieved, and it was time for everything to end.

Gu Shuiyue and Gongsun Yi left in a carriage.

"Eating a meal but losing a Xiaoyun ride, this dinner party is really a big loss. Gu Shuiyue said.

In the night, Gongsun Yi smiled, smiled incomprehensibly, and shook his head with a smile.

Gu Shuiyue suddenly became a little confused.

Xiaoyun riding is Gongsun Yi's hole card, Gu Shuiyue thought that Gongsun Yi would struggle a little, but she didn't expect him to hand it over so easily. And until this time, Gongsun Yi did not show any anger or unwillingness.

"The emperor is suspicious, but he trusts his brother-in-law very much, and his brother-in-law does have some ability, and he is extremely protective ......of his shortcomings," Gu Shuiyue said in a low voice, "Qu Fufeng may become your fierce opponent in the future." ”

Gongsun Yi said: "This dinner is not necessarily a loss. ”

"Gongsun Yi, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" Gu Shuiyue couldn't help but slap Gongsun Yi, and looked at him with round eyes.

Gongsun Yi shook her fist and hugged her into his arms: "Lady, for the husband, let you watch a scene, let you see how the husband uprooted the Qu brothers and sisters." ”

What Gongsun Yi said was an oath.

Yongshou Palace.

"Hasn't this Gongsun Yimo not been on the battlefield for too long, and has become so cringe?" Qu Fufeng drank the old wine, and his tone was full of contempt.

Concubine Pian sat on the couch: "Brother should not be taken lightly, Gongsun Yi is very cunning, so His Majesty let his brother deal with him." ”

Qu Fufeng laughed twice, and raised his hand in the direction of Tianchen Palace with wine: "The minister will not live up to His Majesty's high expectations." ”

"Brother, let me remind you, Xiaoyun Qi's loyalty to Gongsun Yi is very high, you don't have to think about taking it for your own use, be careful of being counterattacked. Concubine Pity frowned.

"My intention is not here, and I am not interested in the things that Gongsun Yi has used. If you can't take it for your own use, then I'll be ruined!" Qu Fufeng's eyes became full of murderous aura.

Qu Fufeng and his sister left after talking about home, and not far from Yongshou Palace, they saw a graceful figure walking slowly in the distance.

Qu Fufeng's gaze first fell on her chest, and then turned to her slender waist, and his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of lewdness.

Just as Qu Fufeng was looking at her, the woman was walking towards him, and when she passed him, the woman seemed to suddenly lose her footing, and fell backwards towards him. Qu Fufeng hurriedly stretched out his hand, just clamped the woman's waist, and the soft body fell into his arms.

It's a wonderful touch.

The woman Ning sighed and withdrew from Qu Fufeng's arms: "Thank you, sir." ”

Qu Fufeng looked at the woman's departing figure, and there was some aftertaste in his eyes.

A few days later, there were more rumors about Qu Fufeng in Kyoto, and all the rumors were about how he outwitted the bandits and eliminated the bandits.

Next, Xiaoyun rode a stream of soldiers who escaped with blue noses and swollen faces and complained in front of Gongsun Yi, all of them complaining about how Qu Fufeng abused them.

The Xiaoyun Rider that Gongsun Yi had built up single-handedly was abused like this by Qu Fufeng, and Gu Shuiyue felt a little distressed when he thought about it.

As for the 'play' that Gongsun Yi said, Gu Shuiyue didn't even see any signs of it.

"If it goes on like this, the entire Shuoyun people only know Qu Fufeng, and they don't know about your Gongsun Yi. Gu Shuiyue said, "The reason why the emperor attaches so much importance to Qu Fufeng is that he wants to replace you with Qu Fufeng." ”

"Madame, don't worry, my husband will tell you about Qu Fufeng today. Gongsun Yi looked confident, "Most of the rumors in the market today are true. Qu Fufeng is not a brave and resourceless person. He was able to get to where he is today, not because of the favor of the concubine. He and Concubine Lian have their own abilities and complement each other, so they are valued by the emperor. ”

"Xichuan is a bit complicated, and the officials and bandits are actually a family, so bandits are rampant. The first thing Qu Fufeng did when he arrived at Xichuan was not to take the soldiers to exterminate the bandits, but to rectify the bureaucrats in Xichuan. first governed the officials, and then arrested the bandits, and this Xichuan was settled by him. He raised troops in the fields and established a military village, coupled with the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain of Xichuan, which formed a solid barrier. If I want to attack Kyoto, I will first be blocked in the place of Nishikawa, and if I want to take Nishikawa, it will take at least ten days and half a month, and these ten days and half a month are enough to make me lose the opportunity. ”

"So you must get rid of Qu Fufeng first. Gu Shuiyue said.

"Qu Fufeng is very ruthless to himself. Qu Fufeng has more than a dozen wives and concubines, but he has not had any children so far. So the emperor trusted him very much. Gongsun Yi said.

"Qu Fufeng can't have children?" Hearing this, Gu Shuiyue couldn't help but be surprised. In order to make the emperor trust him, Qu Fufeng actually killed himself.

Gongsun Yi nodded.

Of course, the focus is on the former, Qu Fufeng has a fatal weakness, that is, he is very beautiful, especially a married woman. Gongsun Yi showed an ambiguous smile, "In the first confrontation between this king and Qu Fufeng, he won a big victory, so he was already a little fluttering." Gradually, he began to think about something else. ”
