Chapter 11 Each shows his scheming

This is the Dongbianfang market outside the imperial city of Xingwangfu, but it is also called Xiaoxi Street. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Originally, as soon as the emperor's edict to appoint the crown prince came out today, the imperial court would not implement a curfew. What's more, the Han Dynasty has rarely had a curfew since the founding of Emperor Gaozu, because the commerce of Xingwangfu is developed and vigorous, and it can be said that the merchants who live in Xingwangfu are gathered by all countries. However, Xingwangfu was modeled on Chang'an City in Xijing of the Tang Dynasty, although it was not as majestic as Chang'an City, but it was also grand and broad, no less than two-thirds of the scale of Chang'an City. Of course, if you really count the sea area of Xingwangfu, Xingwangfu will only be larger than Chang'an City, because the biggest advantage of Xingwangfu is that it is close to the sea, which makes its real area infinitely larger.

And it has one of the biggest advantages that the people like, that is, the biggest difference between it and Chang'an City, when Emperor Gaozu liked commerce, for the economic development of the Han Dynasty and his own wealth, when he was building the Xingwang Mansion that day, the streets and districts in the imperial city were not separated. In this way, people can go out to trade, and the residence is also integrated with the market, which has the advantage of making it convenient for everyone to accumulate wealth, but it also allows the people in the market to mix.

The weather in Lingnan is warm all year round, the scenery of the whole Xingwangfu is naturally good, Emperor Gaozu built a lot of palace buildings in the west of the imperial city, and those dignitaries and nobles also flocked to it, especially the rich and high-ranking officials and nobles of Xingwangfu almost all live in the west of the city, so the left and right streets of Xingwangfu in the capital of the Han Dynasty are ordered to strictly manage the east of the street, because there are relatively few people with status in the east of the city.

Although it was not too late at this time, and the imperial banquet on the side of the imperial city had not yet begun, a complex place like Xiaoxi Street, which was usually very lively, was exceptionally quiet tonight. There are no more shops on the basic road, and everyone seems to flock to the imperial city and the west of the city to see the lanterns and bustle. The deserted streets were full of debris left by people during the day, and in the soft moonlight, there were dark shadows, and not even a single air lamp on the side of the road was lit.

Wu Sihu grabbed the pair of two-foot spears on his waist for the first time, and slowly pulled it out from his waist. His pair of short spears seemed to be a little different from those used by others, the two ends of the short spears were sharp spear tips, the two-foot spear shaft was as thick as a duck's egg, and the shaft was smooth like jade, but from the middle of the spear head there were some slightly smaller than two fingers thick.

This pair of short spears was the weapon of the sick tiger Yang Jiong back then, and he asked the master to use the South China Sea meteorite iron obtained by accident to build it, and the rivers and lakes in the past called for life! It is also one of Yang Jiong's famous weapons. But more than ten years ago, Yang Jiongxiu gradually broke through the realm, so he abandoned the spear and put it in the cabinet.

Later, he accepted Wu Yanrou as a disciple, and there were three or four people who were quite qualified in his Wu family's eight guards, and only Wu Sihu, Wu Da, and Wu Qi were instructed by him. However, his pair of weapons were given to Wu Sihu two years ago, and even his disciple Wu Yanrou did not get them.

Wu Sihu has always thought that this is his pride, he is an orphan and adopted by the Wu family, he has no name, and the Wu family has always called him Wu Er according to his age. Later, he made great contributions, and got Yang Jiong's guidance, the Wu family wanted to reward him, but he didn't accept the reward, he begged Wu Yanrou to give himself the name Wu Sihu, just to respect Yang Jiong.

The man in black stood there for the first time his eyes flashed, in his heart he had never put Wu Sihu in his eyes, he had been famous for many years and had lost countless people under his hands, and he received this task to capture Wu Sihu, he was not careless because Wu Sihu was a servant of the Wu family, but he also did not take Wu Sihu in his eyes.

When he saw the direction of Wu Sihu's standing and posture, he knew that he was overshadowed, Wu Sihu was not only a battle-hardened warrior, but also that strong momentum and body frame, which an ordinary domestic servant could exude. Thinking of the person behind Wu Sihu, he knew that he would definitely have to pay the price if he wanted to clean up Wu Sihu. But he has never been an indecisive person, which has allowed him to mix up for so many years, and since Wu Sihu will not be obedient, he must submit first. So he gave the first order after he appeared: "Take it!" The hoarse and calm voice seemed to echo in the deserted street.

Five swift figures descended from the roof like goshawks, and five weapons slashed at the same time to envelop Wu Sihu. Two swords were divided into left and right to kill; A long sword and a spear volleyed into the air; There was also a Zen staff and crescent moon shovel swirling sharply, like a black hole in the abyss of the grinding of people; What's even more amazing is that the person who made the gun volleyed a little on the right shoulder of the sword man, swept up two meters again, turned up a somersault, and blocked the retreat from behind Wu Sihu. Attacking Wu Sihu from different directions and with the same purpose, the perfect killing machine makes it impossible to avoid.

The man in black looked coldly at the attack of the five people, he was very sure that Wu Sihu would not be able to get out, each of these five people was a master in his own right, his purpose was not to kill Wu Sihu, if he wanted to kill someone, now Wu Sihu was already a dead man.

Who knew that Wu Sihu was like a fast arrow off the string, his left leg was a foot off the ground, he didn't care about the top of his head, he didn't have a horse chopping knife left and right, and his two spears faced the Zen staff. Everyone was stunned, Wu Sihu didn't want to die? Only the person who made the Zen staff knew that it was broken, Wu Sihu's left short spear touched the light ball formed by the crescent shovel, and the person fell to the ground like a spinning top, and he flashed behind him on the left side of the person, facing the black-clothed man in the road, and the two were only three meters apart, and they didn't care about a few people behind him.

There was a sudden silence on the street, so that the man with the staff almost rushed to the front of the man with the spear before he stopped, and the man with the gun quickly shook the gun and drove away. Seeing blood spurting out of his left rib like a fountain from two openings, he looked at the man with a frightened look on his face in confusion, and then fell down with a thud. The Spearman has not yet come to his senses, the Zen Staff Man is dead, and the other three have just landed.

Fast, too fast. The four barely saw how their companion had been killed. The original layout of the wishful thinking seems to make everyone happy a little too early. They knew that they had greatly underestimated Wu Sihu's ability, and the price was the life of his companion. Although they were angry in their hearts, they didn't move, not only because of Wu Sihu's skills, but also because they didn't receive orders from the man in black in the road, they felt that Wu Sihu's murderous aura locked the man in black in the road.

"You didn't disappoint me, haha, that's interesting!" The man in black did not show his anger because of the death of the person who made the Zen staff, but was a little happy with his assessment of Wu Sihu's strength. "But you may regret it now, you have been sending people to find me, and I have been in Xingwangfu all along, and I blamed them for being overly useless when I received this task! Now it seems that you are worth my hands. ”

He slowly pulled out the shiny knife from the scabbard, and the friction between the blade and the scabbard looked particularly sparse in this night and this street. He suddenly burst out with a strong murderous intent all over his body, tightly locking Wu Sihu, his eyes under the black cloth were cold and fierce.

"Hahahaha, you are too much to promote yourself, it's okay to scare others with the name of the remnant wolf He Town, I can only count you unlucky when I meet your second master!" Wu Sihu didn't seem to be afraid at all, but stood up with high spirits.

This He Zhen was originally a big water coward rampant in the Xiangshui area, and there were few opponents with a 36-way wind chasing knife in one hand, and at the beginning, because of his pride, he could not tolerate the Ma Chu court, and he had been stealth between the Han and Ma Chu. Later, Ma Chu was defeated in the Southern Tang Dynasty, he wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob the mixture between the two forces, and was targeted by the Southern Tang Dynasty's famous general and the master of the celebrity art list, Bian Hao, who once chased and killed him for three days and three nights, and since then fled to survive in the Yujiang area of the Han Dynasty.

Because of his brutal nature and greed for money, he did a lot of big cases soon after the Han became invisible. In the past, the leader of the Han Jin Weizhi was still the Ghost Hand Shiwu, and the Ghost Hand Shiwu naturally chased and killed him without allowing his existence, and since then he has disappeared. Some people say that he was killed by Shiwu, and some people say that he fled to other countries, but I really didn't expect that he had been in Xingwangfu.

Although Wu Sihu was relaxed on his lips, he secretly complained in his heart, he was definitely not afraid of death, but the reputation of this wolf was too great. He was responsible for guarding the female assassin captured by Luofu Mountain, because the involvement was too big, and she was not imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, but guarded in a secret stronghold in Jinweizhi. I happened to rush to that place at this moment, and no one knew about my whereabouts before, but the other party was able to stop me, obviously these people have been staring at their side for a long time, but I am afraid that Wu Da and they are not safe.

After receiving Yang Jiong's guidance, Wu Sihu's horizons were naturally broader than ordinary people, and he knew that if he encountered a master of the level of a wolf, if he lost to him in the qi machine, it would be tantamount to suicide. Although there is no bottom in his heart at this moment, Wu Sihu is still indomitable and stares at the other party's every move.

The lights in the main hall of Zhaoyang Hall are brilliant, and the crowds are surging.

At this time, sitting near the first table under the throne was the newly canonized prince Liu Jixing, and Xiao Yue, who no one knew in the court, was sitting next to him, she was wearing a goose yellow palace veil, and her hair was carefully pulled into a lady's bun by the palace celebrant, and the whole person looked fresh and natural, according to Liu Jixing, it was too beautiful.

Although there was a surge of people, there were not many people who could sit around the throne on this occasion, at least they were at least close relatives of the emperor, and they had to be people of weight.

Liu Jixing is a stranger to these people, but for King Wei, they have all met more or less, King Wei can ignore these people in the past, but now Liu Jixing can't, so Liu Jixing's eyes can't stop sweeping around the hall,

On the right side of the throne, on the platform one step further than Liu Jixing's seat, sat the only surviving silly son of Emperor Xiang Liu Yin, the cousin of the current emperor Liu Sheng, King Liu Hongda of Qi, and his princess.

King Qi usually never comes out of the house and almost does not participate in the government and early dynasties, in the memory of King Wei, his cousin has a low IQ since childhood, in the generation of Liu Sheng, the emperor of the Liu family, King Qi is the only prince who exists in the world without being questioned.

The younger brothers of King Wei, who had just been renamed or knighted, all sat on the left side of the banquet seat in the main hall, and because they were two-character princes, they sat on the tables where the Duke and Marquis were in charge.

The original King of Qi Liu Xuanxing is now the King of Gui, he alone occupies the first place on the left hand and the first table, his eyes are a little gloomy and not slight, and there is a Peugeot palace woman standing next to him.

For Liu Jixing, this cheap brother is still a child, so he didn't pay attention to and gaze at him too much, but took a good look at the woman next to him, Liu Jixing was naturally not interested in her appearance, but felt that her eyes were more mature than her age, and the feeling between her eyes was that she was a hidden character. Of course, it is impossible for Liu Jixing to inquire about what this woman's name is, but obviously he will not be an ordinary person if he can be with Liu Xuanxing.

The first person sitting on the right side of the banquet in the main hall was a lean-looking and short-looking old minister, Liu Jixing knew that he was Mrs. Ya's father, and now Lu Ying, the titular Pingzhangshi of the Han Dynasty. According to later generations, this old man was equivalent to the post of prime minister or prime minister of the later government. He didn't seem to like to be noisy, his eyes were slightly closed, his hands folded, and he sat upright as if he were deaf to everything around him.

On a table next to Lu Ying, there was a woman in a red palace dress with pink and crisp breasts half exposed. Her demeanor was graceful and luxurious, and with a smile on her face, she nodded from time to time to the officials who paid attention to her.

Liu Jixing was quite impressed by this woman in the memory of King Wei, and knew that this woman was a figure in the Han Dynasty, and a famous woman in history served Lu Qiongxian. Regardless of whether a woman has anything to do with Emperor Liu Sheng or not, just saying that she can do the position of vice premier or vice prime minister is definitely not an ordinary ability.

Looking at her really beautiful, in Liu Jixing's opinion, although her face is a little fat and her chin is a little too round, it does not affect the charm of her charming eyes at all. And it seems that she is only in her twenties, with a smile on her white face and two small dimples, her eyes are pure, and it is impossible to see that she is a woman who dominates the court.

According to the original historical development, after Liu Sheng's death, she seemed to be a woman of Weiwang, and it is conceivable that she had a great influence on Weiwang. She occupies a table alone and Lu Ying, showing her unique identity and status.

Maybe it's because the emperor hasn't come yet, and the hall is still noisy in the private chat. Liu Jixing saw that everyone was communicating, and Rao Youweiwang's body was preparing, and he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. Perhaps because there are men and women in the main hall, there are officials and businessmen, and even foreigners of different skin colors, and the hall is like a big bazaar selling vegetables.

Liu Jixing sat on this hand-on platform and looked at the hall with crowds, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. No wonder in the end, the Han Dynasty was based in a remote place like Lingnan, and the richest in the various secession regimes in the Central Plains, just looking at the fact that this merchant can sit with the officials to eat and drink, you can imagine how highly respected the merchant was in the Han Dynasty, no wonder Zhao Kuangyin in order to occupy the Lingnan Han Dynasty, it is because the Liu family is rich!

Because he retains the memory of King Wei, Liu Jixing still knows a lot about those high-ranking officials here. The former Wei Wang, who had no heart and lungs, never paid attention to these people, and Liu Jixing had to face it again.

At a glance, most of these high-ranking civil officials are sitting at the table in front of both sides, and the newly promoted high-ranking military attachés like Qu Ju, even if they have the title of marquis, are about to sit in the middle of the main hall, not to mention those high-ranking military generals who do not have titles, it can be seen that the status of military attaches in the Han Dynasty is not very good!

Qu Ju was in a relatively good state, seeing Qu Ju sitting upright, his wife and Qu Keer were sitting next to him, and the family occupied a table. Unlike many officials, there are three or four people crowded into a table, and it is not even comparable to the status of some big businessmen in the main hall.

That Qu Keer seemed to have been observing Liu Jixing, and when she saw Liu Jixing looking at herself, she smiled slightly, and she smiled a little shyly. Liu Jixing was very emotional in his heart, the status and life of women in the five generations were the least valuable in the previous dynasties, not to mention Qu Keer, who was born in a big family, and couldn't help but smile and nod at her.

Liu Jixing's actions happened to make the eunuchs under the stairs see that this seemingly lean eunuch was Wu Huaien, the great eunuch in Lingnan back then. He has always been relatively good to King Wei before, and he has always agreed with Emperor Liu Sheng to establish King Wei as the crown prince, and he has always been quite concerned about King Wei. He saw Liu Jixing smiling at the girl next to Qu Ju, and couldn't help but move up the steps and leaned over and whispered; "Does Your Highness know that girl?"

"Hmmm! She is the sister of Xianninghou, I met today, and her temperament is very cute! Liu Jixing knew that Wu Huaien must have some thoughts, so he didn't care about his stomach. Changed the topic and asked him again: "By the way, why didn't Duke Wu see Master Wang coming!" ”

Wu Huaien suddenly lowered his eyebrows and replied quietly; "Your Highness is talking about Young Master Wang! Just now, His Majesty asked people to announce that they went to the inner hall, and the empty seat next to Emperor Marquis Li Shaofu was for Wang Shaofu, and today in the hall, these are all arranged by the old slave himself, His Royal Highness can rest assured,,, Xianning Marquis seat is far away, does His Royal Highness want to chat with him. ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Can you let Xianninghou sit in front? Liu Jixing didn't know much about these court rules, and King Wei's thinking was even more messy, so he couldn't help but ask Wu Huaien in a whisper. Wu Huaien glanced at the main hall, and then returned to Liu Jixing and said: "This arrangement has lasted for several years in the previous banquets of the imperial court. Your Majesty doesn't care about these and everyone doesn't change it, that's because Your Majesty has Your Majesty's thoughts, but according to the laws of the first Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu, the seat of the Marquis of Xianning can be moved forward by four rows, and it should be next to Wu Xun and Wu Shilang, Lord Wu is the left squire of the military department and is the marquis, and the Marquis of Xianning is now the right squire!"

Liu Jixing couldn't help but stare at Wu Huaien when he heard this, seeing that his gaze did not evade, and he smiled slightly, and couldn't help but smile: "Yes!" Oh, yes! Marquis Xianning is not only a marquis, but also a town festival envoy appointed by his father! It should be next to Lord Wu! He couldn't help but said loudly: "Then Duke Wu, you let Xianning Hou sit in front!" ”

Everyone in the world said that Liu Sheng was lewd, mediocre, greedy for money, and cruel, but Liu Jixing didn't think so. After the death of the first emperor of other secessionist countries, the successors to the throne were all engaged in wind and rain, and the road was not peaceful, and they were either overthrown or killed. But in history, King Wei was able to ascend the throne smoothly, and he was only sixteen years old, and there was no turmoil in the country after becoming the emperor. What does this mean! This shows that Liu Sheng is too strong, and no one under his command dares to move, and no one can move. This also shows that Liu Sheng is an extremely smart person, as ruthless as Zhu Yuanzhang, but more powerful than Zhu Yuanzhang, and the Zhu family still has children to win the throne! However, his disadvantage was that he was not enterprising in the later period, and although he controlled the army under his command, he was not able to advance north.

Wu Huaien's grin was even more obvious, he thought that he had watched King Wei grow up, and he knew King Wei better. Although he is a eunuch, he also has his plans, and over the years, Gong Chengshu has relied on the emperor to gain power in the palace and the inner chamberlain, and he is faintly the first person in the palace. Wu Huaien has a lot of merit, and he doesn't want to gain power, so Gong Chengshu usually respects himself a little.

But he also has his own ideas and plans, his ancestral home is Jiaozhou, and he was captured by his husband in the past. It was with the return of the king of Jiaozhou, Qu Hao, to the court, and there were only two or three people left among the more than 100 villagers who accompanied him, and he was arranged to serve Emperor Gaozu obediently. In the hands of the current emperor, because he is good at soldiers and martial arts, in the sixth year of Qianhe, he captured Ma Chuhe, Gui and other six states with Wu Xun, and made immortal achievements for the court and the emperor.

He has always been grateful to the king of Jiaozhou, if it were not for the king of Jiaozhou, he would have died on the battlefield, so since the death of the king of Jiaozhou, he has always taken a lot of care of the Qu family, that is, the emperor wanted to do something to the Qu family, and he continued to mediate, plus external factors made the Qu family avoid the disaster. Although he no longer commanded the army after he conquered Ma Chu and returned to the dynasty, because he won a hundred battles when he led the troops and loved the soldiers like a son, his prestige in the army still existed, and now the emperor wants to make moves on the army It also depends on his ideas.

In the hall, Wu Huaien heard the prince's edict, and the Marquis of Xianning sat next to Wu Xun, and all kinds of voices in the hall were silent for a while. These officials didn't dare to refuse, you must know that the prince is still the king of Wei, the notoriety is resounding in the Xingwang Mansion, and now he is the future prince, who dares to touch this mold!

Qu Ju saw that everyone was staring at him, and he had no choice but to sit down honestly. Suddenly, all kinds of eyes shot at the hall from all directions. Even Lu Ying, who had been closing his eyes, slowly opened his eyes, he looked at Liu Jixing and smiled at Qu Ju faintly, seeing that there was no impetuousness on his face, he couldn't help but think about it, and gently stroked the white beard under his chin, not knowing what he was thinking.

And Lu Qiongxian beside him slowly got up and walked towards Liu Jixing. There are still four or five steps away, she Yingying gave a salute and said: "Your Royal Highness is the joy of the Han Dynasty and the blessing of the people, Qiongxian is busy with government affairs and has not congratulated His Highness in person, through this feast tonight and in front of hundreds of officials, Qiongxian congratulates His Royal Highness!" Her voice is soft and melodious, and her big charming eyes have been staring at Liu Jixing, even if Liu Jixing has been specially trained in hypnosis, she can't help but be a little confused.

"Humph!" Xiao Yue beside him let out a soft low drink, which made Liu Jixing immediately sober up. Liu Jixing couldn't help but look at Lu Qiongxian with some surprise, in his impression, she was not the most beautiful kind of person who could make him unable to take his eyes off it, not to mention Liu Jixing's mental age and previous life experience, which also made him not so superficial, because the difference between the aesthetics of the late Tang Dynasty and the acceptance of his own era was too great.

But I don't know how the more I look at her, the more comfortable I feel, at this time, Xiao Yue on the side gently whispered: "Demon girl!" "The voice was thin but like thunder and lightning. Liu Jixing's heart was a little abrupt, knowing that this Lu Qiongxian must have some attractive skills and training. But as the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, what people say is extremely nice and extremely respectful, and you can't be too no, not to mention that there is no conflict with her on the face at present. But listening to Xiao Yue's tone, there seemed to be a hint of jealousy, this girl must not be used to Lu Qiongxian's beauty and charm, Liu Jixing couldn't help but be a little funny, this woman's jealousy is the same in any era.

The surprise and shock in Lu Qiongxian's heart was stronger than Liu Jixing's, when she appeared in front of King Wei before, King Wei always looked obsessed and stupid. You don't have to use the master's mastery, you can make the six gods of the Weiwang at a loss. But today, not only did this Wei Wang not seem to pay attention to himself, but his eyes did not have a trace of distraction when he looked at him, which was also too surprising.

It's just that Fang Cai himself was afraid that Xiao Yue only showed a trace of seduction, and King Wei was not obsessed. Lu Qiongxian will not doubt his skills, even if he is sitting next to King Wei, Lu Qiongxian has not played much, but it should be more than enough to deal with King Wei. Now she knew that she had to change her strategy against King Wei, but she never imagined that this King Wei was no longer the original Liu Jixing.

"Lord Lu is too polite, this king is still young, it is said that Lord Lu is usually good at government affairs and business, and he is even more conscientious to my Han court, and this king will have to go to Lord Lu in person to ask for advice in the future!" Liu Jixing didn't want her to know that he was too mature, so his face immediately showed a feeling of fascination with her, and his eyes were fixed on her proud breasts.

Seeing the recovery of the usual state of the Wei Wang, although Lu Qiongxian was a little confused, her self-confidence quickly relieved her, she glanced at Xiao Yue: "Your Highness is too polite, this is Your Majesty's doting on Qiongxian, Qiongxian knows that she is not enough, how dare she point fingers at His Highness!" However, in the palace, Qiongxian can be regarded as watching His Highness grow up, what does His Highness command, with this friendship, Qiongxian will never give up! ”
