Chapter 7: Before Entering the Palace
When Wang Fu and his entourage walked to Suizhou, a Hongmao messenger rushed to deliver the edict, Wang Fu took the edict, looked at it and handed it to Dong Xing, "It's chaos, it's completely chaos!" The prince must have been instructed by someone to be so mad! ”
Dong Xing looked at it and smiled, "They all say that the prince is cowardly and benevolent, I'm afraid that they are all blind, the prince is fighting to the death, I'm afraid the emperor didn't expect the prince to gamble so much!" ”
"Yes, if he loses the bet, he will be given death, and the world is still surnamed Liu! And those of us who are not only head-to-head, but the whole family will also be implicated! Wang Weiquan of this Fengxiang Army will actually follow the prince's path and send troops to help the prince get Xiao Kui! It's the other way around! ”
"General Wang, the emperor's edict praised Wang Weiquan's loyalty to the country, and crowned Wang Weiquan as the Marquis of Duting. and asked General Wang to quickly return to the dynasty to cooperate with His Royal Highness the King of Jin to supervise military affairs such as military training in Tuntian, where the garrisons in various places are located, and it seems that the next situation will be more complicated! ”
Wang Fu paced back and forth, pointing with his hand: "Call Qian Jingzhi in!" ”
Dong Xing immediately went out to find Qian Jingzhi, and when Wang Fu talked to Qian Jingzhi, Dong Xing was always very conscious not to participate.
Qian Jingzhi is Wang Fu's general's mansion and one of Wang Fu's henchmen, and Qian Jingzhi has always been doing the supervision of military affairs.
Qian Jingzhi came in unhurriedly: "The general asked me to come in, but it was for the matter of the Fengxiang Army?" ”
Wang Fu stretched out his hand and beckoned Qian Jingzhi to sit down, "Jingzhi, you guessed part of it, Feng Xiangjun actually listened to the prince's dispatch to Chang'an without getting my instructions!" The government and the opposition are shaken, and the world is shaken! By the way, here is the emperor's urgent edict, you can take a look! ”
Qian Jingzhi took the edict and looked at it: "The general is really going to rectify military affairs with King Jin?" ”
"The emperor's edict has already made it clear, do I still want to resist the decree?"
Qian Jingzhi waved his hand, "The general has been in a high position for many years, the Fengxiang Army stationed in Guanzhong, the Beiping Left Army stationed in Fanyang, the Jiangnan Right Army stationed in Qiantang, the Jiannan Army stationed in Chengdu, the world's elite eighteen soldiers and horses, and four of them are directly led by the general. If the general doesn't retreat bravely, will he wait for the same fate as Han Xin and Zhou Yafu? The emperor clearly asked you to cooperate with His Royal Highness King Jin to rectify military affairs, but in fact, he was reminding the general that it was time to hand over the military power! ”
Wang Fu touched his forehead and wiped the beads of sweat, "You mean the emperor is going to do it?" ”
"The emperor doesn't want to target generals, but anyone who poses a threat to the imperial power, he will restrict and suppress! Now that the king of Jin has reached adulthood, and the prince has been in business for many years, the most taboo thing for the emperor is that the person who holds the military power is too close to the prince! ”
"Old Qian, your analysis is not right, everyone in the world knows that my General's Mansion and the East Palace are on the same page, and the Pei family behind the King of Jin is also fighting openly and secretly. How could the emperor suspect me of colluding with the princes? ”
"How did the emperor know that all this was not deliberately played by the general? Wang Weiquan's move this time made the emperor have to suspect that the Wang family is secretly supporting the prince! Not only the emperor thinks so, but other courtiers of the family may also think this way! ”
Wang Fu stomped his feet, "It's all this Wang Weiquan, and it's a pig's head!" We're all in a hole now! ”
Qian Jingzhi smiled, "General Wang, there is a crisis and a crisis, not to mention that Wang Weiquan's mess happened to have found a good way out for the Wang family!" ”
"Don't comfort me! Now that the reduction of military power is imminent, it is possible to exile the family next! ”
"No, General Wang, the emperor suppresses the prince everywhere, the Pei family behind the King of Jin is aggressive, and the Xiao family has people who have taken refuge in the King of Jin, the emperor needs someone to help the prince at this time, whether it is a real gang or a fake gang, as long as there is this
posture, I believe that everyone in the world will see it. The emperor is now in the age of sixties, but he is full of strength and strong body, he cannot pass on the throne to any prince early, and he will not sit idly by and watch any prince have too much power. The purpose of supporting the King of Jin is to suppress the crown prince, and now the title of Wang Weiquan is to contain the King of Jin! ”
"Old Qian, you've been talking for a long time, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. How can I deal with myself now? In three days, we will be in the capital! ”
"General Wang has strange goods in his hands, and he is afraid that his status will not be guaranteed? Do you want to think that if a building ship with hundreds of thousands of armoured troops suddenly appeared in Daliang, will Your Majesty still be in a hurry to rectify military affairs? Or maybe there is suddenly such an extra army in Daliang, and the emperor also needs people to balance it, right? ”
Wang Fu looked out the door, "I don't know if what you said is true or not, although the emperor convened a court meeting, but no one has ever seen those hundred ships!" No one has ever seen Li Xiaofei with their own eyes! ”
"It doesn't matter if anyone has seen it, the important thing is to make the emperor believe that Li Xiaofei is coming back! No matter whether Li Xiaofei comes back to take revenge or go home to pick up the child, the emperor will not wait to ignore it! ”
"So, we need to get some news out? Or is it a set-up? ”
"No, this is self-defeating, General Wang just needs to tell the world with great fanfare from now on that he has received Li Xiaofei's family and is about to return to Beijing!"
"Old Qian, aren't you cheating on me? Along the way, I've fought more than a dozen times against the people of Zhongyitang! And with a lot of fanfare, oh, I see. You want Li Xiaofei's old department to know, so that Li Xiaofei, who doesn't know that he is still there, can also know. Qu Cai, old money, it's not worth following me! ”
"General Wang laughed, Li Xiaofei's old department back then there are still a lot of hidden in the people, and the world likes to spread falsehoods, these old departments learned that Li Xiaofei's family was taken to the capital by the emperor, it is difficult to say what they will do, and at that time, the general will naturally be a sword that the emperor can't throw away!"
Wang Fu's heart trembled, and his face was a little ugly, "Old Qian, I know, you go out and call Lao Dong to come in, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable"
Qian Jingzhi knew that when Li Xiaofei and Wang Fu's face were mentioned, no one would be happy to mention his most dishonorable thing to a person.
Dong Xing came over with Zhan Fei, and when he saw Zhan Fei also coming in, Wang Fu's face became even more ugly.
Zhan Fei ran over and checked his pulse, "The general's pulse is abnormal, and he is restless, is something wrong?" ”
Wang Fu waved his hand, "It's okay, you're mistaken!" ”
Dong Xing knew that the situation was wrong, so he let Zhanfei go out first.
Wang Fu saw Zhan fly out and said to Dong Xing, "Don't bring this child to see me in the future, I will feel uncomfortable when I see him." The more this kid treats me, the more I want to kill him! ”
Dong Xing shook his head: "The general's heart knot still needs heart medicine to be cured!" However, I will give you a silver needle to relieve you first, otherwise you will have a headache again! ”
Dong Xing gave Wang Fu a silver needle for more than an hour, Wang Fu felt a little better, so he asked Dong Xing to pack up the silver needle, and he got dressed and went out to breathe.
As soon as the two of them walked to the door, Zhan Fei came over with a bowl of things, "General, my mother knows that you are restless, so she made you a bowl of lotus seeds, pig heart, wolfberry soup, which calms your nerves and nourishes your brain!" Divine Doctor Dong, use your silver needle to give the general a try! ”
Zhan Fei smiled mischievously, and Dong Xing also smiled, "Come on, this soup general still has to drink, does the general still have to go out for a walk?" ”
Wang Fu covered his head and waved his hand again and again, "Take it in, don't go, Zhanfei, thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”
"General, this soup is wanted
It's not to your taste, so my mother will make you another bowl! ”
"Very good, good, no need to do it!"
Dong Xing drank this bowl of lotus seeds, pig's heart, wolfberry soup, and smiled at Wang Fu, "General, I'm afraid that you have more headaches, this kid is kind-hearted, I think you don't have a headache like this, it's better to accept you as a righteous son,"
"No, no, no, I betrayed his father and took him as a adopted son, this is too inappropriate!"
"The general is so entangled, does he want to die by the sword of their father and son in the future? I'm also surprised, the general kills people like hemp, why did he become a saint when he met this kid! This kid is good to you, you take advantage of the situation and give favors, no matter what happens in the future, at least this kid will be on your side! ”
"I don't know what's going on, as long as I see this child, I feel that I have done all the bad things that I mean! Could it be that he hit me? I'll have to find the old money for me! ”
In the next few days, lily perch soup, gastrodia crucian carp soup, and big bone ginger soup were all sent to Wang Fu, and most of Dong Xing's silver needles were scrapped.
On the eve of entering Luoyang, Wang Fu called Wang Ruoyun Zhanfei's mother and son and Dong Xingqian Jingzhidu to have dinner together.
Seeing Wang Ruoyun and Zhanfei feasting, Wang Fu's face was solemn, "Sister-in-law, virtuous nephew, when the time comes, five days later, follow me into the palace, remember to talk less and kowtow more, don't talk nonsense, if you say the wrong thing in the palace, you will lose your head!" Besides, if the emperor gives a banquet, it is good to eat a few bites, not as casual as now! ”
Wang Ruoyun put down his chopsticks, "I'll be in the capital tomorrow, why do I have to enter the palace five days later?" When the time comes, I'll just shout long live and don't speak! ”
Qian Jingzhi said to Wang Ruoyun, "Mrs. Wang, starting tomorrow, someone from the palace will teach you etiquette, and I have to bathe and inspect you to verify your body!" There are too many things to pay attention to when entering the palace! ”
Zhan Fei looked at Wang Fu, "General, don't you have to prepare for a few days when you enter the palace?" ”
"The general's entry into the palace is naturally different from you! Eat more tonight, from tomorrow, three meals a day must be according to the rules of the palace, you can't eat meat and big things, you can only drink porridge, and then some spices to make water rinse your mouth every day, and you have to practice how to bow down, these five days, you have to lose a few pounds! ”
"Divine Doctor Dong, can you take my silver needle to test the poison when you enter the palace?"
Everyone laughed, "Silly boy, are the people in the palace still afraid that you will poison them?" Each dish was first tried by someone from the palace, and your silver needle must be kept, not brought in, if someone finds out, it will be an assassin! ”
"Can you not go? This doesn't work, that doesn't work, it's so uncomfortable! ”
"No, no! If you don't go, you will resist the decree and will kill you! Don't think about it, hurry up and eat! ”
Wang Fu looked at Zhanfei and Wang Ruoyun, and put down his chopsticks, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, you have bothered these days, and you have boiled soup to replenish my body, Wang just has a wish, and I hope that Mrs. Sister-in-law will come true!" ”
Wang Ruoyun spit out the meat in his mouth, "General Wang, I'm already a yellow-faced woman, and besides, friends and wives can't be bullied!" ”
Wang Fu almost didn't choke, "No, no, no, what I'm saying is that this Zhanfei is kind-hearted, Mr. Dong and Qian Changshi like him very much, and Wang has an idea,"
"I know, Zhanfei, Doctor Dong has taught you a lot of medical skills, so you can worship him as a godfather!"
Wang Fu and Dong Xing were dumbfounded, and Zhanfei was already kneeling on the ground and calling godfather
Dong Xing had no choice but to help Zhanfei up, Wang Fu coughed for a while, "Okay, good, I think so too, this kid is kind-hearted, follow Doctor Dong to learn more medical skills, very good, very good!" ”
