277 Allegiance
Pang Dingbei failed to steal chickens this time but ended up empty-handed, and several Guogong mansions felt very relieved, and Xu Guogong held a banquet in his back garden overnight to entertain the relatives of Gu Xue and Han's three families. During the banquet, it was inevitable to talk about Pang Dingbei's death, Dong Slow, Xue Ting and Gu Song all looked at each other silently, and after leaving the banquet, the three of them couldn't help but feel proud!
Pang Dingbei himself felt unlucky, originally he stayed well in the Zuo military camp, although there were occasional whispers in secret, but it was not to the point where he had to break with the Dong family, it was the queen who sent Liu Kuo to lobby him, and he was moved.
Who knew that in the end, he didn't even get a single hair, but now he was squeezed out by the mansions of several major countries that held military power, and the rest of the nobles kept their distance from them because of the Pang family's loss of power, and the hatred in his heart naturally turned to the queen, and even Su Ri didn't have a good face when he saw the Liu family!
Gu Song followed Han Ji back, and it seemed that he had more important matters, he had never met Shen Yan before, and he didn't mention her anymore recently. It's just that she often holds the calligraphy she made up in a thoughtful daze, or silently practices for an hour or two without moving.
After Zheng Mingce took office, the king of Chu also invited Han Ji to go to the palace for a night drink.
During the banquet, he said quietly: "I thought she was just bold and lively, but I didn't expect that there would be such a scheming." It's hard to underestimate. ”
He didn't mention his name, but Han Ji actually guessed who he was referring to. A piece of foie gras between the chopsticks paused for a moment before falling back into the bowl.
King Chu looked at him with a smile and said, "You have helped me a lot this time, and I will not break my word, and I will find a way to help you get the position of the prince of the world." When you have the military power in your hands, let's fight for the storage position again. ”
Han Ji raised his lips, swallowed the foie gras, raised his glass and said, "The prince will definitely succeed." ”
After drinking, he returned to the house, and Xin Yi brought him decanting soup.
He shook the soup in his arms, his eyes looking forward thoughtfully.
Xin Yi came over and said: "The king of Chu has dragged on for almost a year, and he has never mentioned fighting for the position of the young master in this world, but this time it is refreshing." ”
Han Ji snorted slightly, took a sip of soup, and said: "He can't help me, King Zheng will open a mansion in the future, and his situation will not be so optimistic at that time." After speaking, he raised his head and said: "The battle over there in Dongliao has not been fought for long, and the Dog Emperor is now gritting his teeth and holding on, but once the old Mongolian king dies, it is impossible for him to hold on any longer." Gertai and Battle are both ruthless characters, and if my guess is correct, he will eventually dispel the idea of peace, so as to save the other party from proposing to open the horse market, and give them the opportunity to set foot in the Central Plains.
"In this way, my father will come back soon, and there will be some changes in the camp at that time, you can find a way to keep in touch with the two old generals Zuo and Qin, and I will stuff a few people up before he comes back." The position of the son of this world is not so contentious, although the king of Chu promised to help, I have to make two preparations, just in case. ”
Xin Yi bowed his head and said: "This time the autumn hunt escort, then there should be a share of the young master, the young master can let General Wang Ju and them serve as deputy generals, and they have a reputation, and the two generals Zuo and Qin are also easy to consider." ”
Han Ji raised his neck to drink the soup and exhaled, "This is nature. ”
The matter of the Five Cities Camp finally subsided.
When the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was being prepared in the Shen Mansion lively, Shen Yan also got the news that day: Song Huan finally received an order in the morning after staying on pins and needles as a political envoy, and asked him to go to Honglu Temple to serve as Shaoqing, in charge of the banquet and other matters.
"It's also because he should be unlucky, he didn't make any mistakes, but who let him not take his own strength to provoke the seizure of the throne? I think this matter is ten out of ten under the hands of the king of Chu, if you don't borrow Song Huan's long and majestic style, won't those people rush to take advantage of this matter in the future? ”
Fahrenheit said with a sneer.
Shen Yan thought about it, but looked at Shen Mi and said, "Song Huan is narrow-minded, I'm afraid he won't die so easily. “
Shen Mi looked at the letter in his hand and responded lightly: "If the king of Chu and the king of Zheng do not win one of them, many people will not give up. ”
Shen Yan thought so.
However, the queen suffered setbacks one after another, if the king of Chu could make persistent efforts and hit her a few more times, the day of defeating her would not be far away. As long as the queen falls, King Zheng will have no backer, and at present, it is not so easy for him to compete with the king of Chu for the crown prince. However, judging from the way he forced Shen Guanyu to stay and help him by hitting the wall, this is not a fool.
"Isn't it autumn hunting next month? King Zheng will also open his mansion next year, and the emperor's intentions for this autumn hunt are undecided. Shen Mi closed the letter, put it in his arms, and got up and brushed his clothes. There are two more days to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and your third uncle should be back in these two days, and it is rare that the troubles at hand have been solved, and we can relax for two days. ”
"Is the third uncle finally coming back?" Shen Yan couldn't help but stand up when he heard this.
Shen Eun has been out for several months, last time because of the Chen family's incident, the Chen family wanted to be a matchmaker for him, but who knew that he beat Shen Xin angrily, so that so many things came out later, and now that the dust has settled, he is finally coming back, and now I don't know how the slap thrown out will end?
Although the Chen family did not say that this family affair, Shen Guanyu still said hello in front of the emperor, and the original ration of 5,000 horses was changed to 4,000.
At the end of last month, the household department was about to send grain and grass to the northwest, and by the way, the horse went with the army.
And this marriage was also put aside, the Zeng family still lived in the Chen family, and the Chen family seemed to be full of feelings about her, but because he had mentioned this matter again, it was not so convenient for the Zeng family to even come to the door. When Shen Eun came back this time, I don't know what kind of ending this matter will have?
Shen Mi turned around and asked Ge Zhou to pass the word to the upper room, but Shen Guanyu was paying respects to the palace.
After Zheng Mingce officially took office in Wuchengying, now the DPRK and China are like a pot of water from the stove, which has gradually calmed down. King Zheng, who was originally slightly higher than the king of Chu, has shown his decline after the queen's successive defeats, and the king of Chu is now in the limelight, and he has directly participated in the itinerary of the autumn hunt.
Although the emperor did not necessarily favor one son, King Zheng was still young and could not participate in political affairs, so he was relatively weak. And if he can't even preserve his current strength, it will be a fatal blow to him.
Even if King Zheng is old, he can't sit still. He walked down the danfan and rushed straight to Shen Guanyu, and made a deep sigh: "This time the incident was defeated by Song Huan, I know that I don't complain about Mr., the queen mother, please don't take Mr. to heart." But judging from the current situation, we are already at a disadvantage, I don't know if Mr. can deal with it? ”
After the letter of appointment of the Wucheng Battalion came down, the queen was dissatisfied with Shen Guanyu, although she did not take any action against him, but after all, it was no longer the attitude of the corporal of Lixian at the beginning.
Shen Guanyu sat cross-legged on the seat, pinched the jade cup in his hand, and said, "It's too much." At the beginning, I gave the queen a plan to let her stay in the dark and wait for the prince to open the mansion before taking action. No matter how hard the concubine is, she is just a concubine. As long as the queen does not make a mistake and has the protection of the literati of the Manchu Dynasty, the concubine will not take advantage of anything.
"It's a pity that the queen can't hold back, conniving at An Ninghou to ignore the law and discipline, and now she has lost her brother first, and then lost the Wucheng camp, don't say that I, Shen, am not an immortal, even if I really have the skill to reach the sky, how can I afford to do this?"
King Zheng was silent.
Before the queen's private wooing of Shen Mi was exposed, the direction of the wind in the middle of the court was indeed greatly beneficial to the queen, but after the matter was exposed, the queen not only did not appease Shen Guanyu, but forced each other verbally, and then Liu Yan secretly started the calculation of the Shen and Gu families, which caused Shen Guanyu's resistance.
And whether the next thing was really caused by the death of the queen and Liu Yan, or whether Shen Guanyu was also taking advantage of the situation, who knows?
He looked at Shen Guanyu and sat down opposite him with his robe, "Sir, could it be that the queen and Xiao Wang are already discouraged and desperate?" ”
Shen Guanyu raised his eyes, his eyes were calm: "The society is in the world, and the Son of Heaven is in charge.
"How can a man who is a minister obey the orders of the court? The inner court ignores the affairs of the outer dynasties, and in terms of the inheritance of the throne, how can the queen be compared with the prince? I once said that I was serving the prince, not the queen, and when the prince sacrificed himself against the wall to save the official, wasn't it the idea of snatching me from the queen's side? ”
Zheng Wang Weiton.
Shen Guanyu lowered his eyes and sipped tea, his posture leisurely.
"The prince is a person who understands, I am a scholar, even if I am now involved in this palace dispute, the allegiance is also my future monarch of the Great Zhou, and it is the prince who will sit in the country in the future, do you really want the lower officials to obey the queen's orders? The people who have spent so much effort to stay, if they don't even understand this truth, wouldn't the prince have wasted his efforts? ”
King Zheng's face softened, and he looked at the ground thoughtfully.
Shen Guanyu put the jade cup on the case, raised his lips and said: "The one that the queen did was to help the prince become the emperor, and whether the Shen family's century-old name can be continued, it must be given by the prince in the future, how can the lower officials put the cart before the horse, and there are ready-made monarchs who do not follow, but follow the person who makes the match?" ”
King Zheng's complexion turned from dark to bright, and his eyebrows gradually widened.
He opened his arms, shook him deeply, and said, "Sir is indeed a person with great wisdom, and with Mr.'s words, the disciple will feel at ease." Mr. is better than Confucius and Mengzhi than Zhuge , with your assistance, the disciple will get twice the result with half the effort. In the future, the disciple will give me instructions and ask the gentleman for guidance, what should I do next? ”
Shen Guanyu got up on the ground, slowly walked to the window with his hands down, and said, "The next thing is naturally to stand still." The matter of the five city camps has been decided, and the king of Chu must have some plans to consolidate his power. In the meantime, if we make another move, it will not be easy to succeed, and if the other party catches the handle, it will be even more opportunity. R1152
