Chapter 4: The Eve of the Court

As the sky gets darker, the lively city of Anyi during the day gradually calms down, and every once in a while, a team of Wei troops patrols the streets. The Wei State inherited the Jin State and focused on the concept of governing the country at sunrise and resting at sunset, and also followed its curfew system, although there were some changes.

Since ancient times, human beings have strengthened their ability to fight against nature by drilling wood for fire. However, the night was still the time when humans were most afraid, and this fear later turned the night into a place for people to hide dirt and dirt. Walking in the shadows, the perpetrators will not reveal their footprints, and the conspirators can hatch the most vicious schemes in the darkest corners. When the morning comes, all kinds of gloom dissipate, hiding under the bustling city of Anyi, demanding the next beautiful night.

A noble home, but you don't have to sit at sunrise and rest at sunset. Singing and dancing all day and night, drunk all day and night, the night becomes a catalyst for their thrill-seeking.

Anyi, Gongzi Weifuzhong.

"Okay, well, the fish has entered the net", Gongzi said overjoyed when he heard the secret spy report.

So, he hurried to the hall of his house and reported to the prince who was watching the song and dance in his house.

Entering the main hall, Gongzi Wei saw that the crown prince Shen Zheng was watching with great interest the song and dance that he had carefully prepared for him with a lot of money. On the high platform of the hall, a group of young girls are singing and embroidering and dancing, accompanied by the beautiful sound that lingers in the hall, echoing with the bright and dim lights distributed around. The posture of the beauty, with a smile and a smile, is so beautiful in the sound of silk and bamboo and in the wine. What's even more difficult and commendable is that most of the girls on the stage are twins, including the gentle and petite sister virgin, the soft-spoken Wu Chu beauty of Wu Nong, and the prostitute boy who is charming. This is a gift carefully prepared by Gongzi Wei for Prince Shen. Now, it seems that Prince Shen likes it very much, and Gongzi Wei is also very pleased.

Gongzi Wei, Wei Hou Wei Ying's younger brother. At the beginning, the current Marquis of Wei and Gongzi Shou competed for the throne and pacified the rebellion of Gongzi Shou, because he deeply hated Gongzi Shou and his henchmen for the chaos of the country and the shame of Zhao and Han Erguo almost capturing and killing themselves, when convicting of responsibility, they used torture, heavy punishment, and the method of opening a branch to massacre the sons and ministers who opposed them. The violence made the historians dare not speak. Gongzi Wei, because he was young and his plaything was demoralized, Wei Hou was not punished. If other people experience this difficulty, they will definitely never get involved in state affairs again, hide in their own fiefdoms, eat, drink and have fun, and be a noble son in peace.

However, Gongzi Wei is really a strange person, he doesn't care about the actions of Wei Hou outside, and takes the initiative to offer his fiefdom, just to enjoy the glory and wealth in Anyi. Drunk gold fans, when the most sons. At the same time, he studied extremely well, and he slapped the horse on Wei Hou a lot, and he was reused by Wei Hou. Gongzi Wei is still long-term, and feels that the current prominence is only temporary, and when Wei Hou dies, he will fall out of favor. At the same time, his sloppy behavior was mostly attacked by the ministers of the court, and he was afraid that he would not end well. So, Gongzi secretly took refuge in Prince Shen and helped Prince Shen in many ways, in order to seek long-term wealth in the future.

Prince Shen was not a prince at the time, but he was also the eldest, and his mother was a princess of Qi, but she had died. Wei Hou had four sons, and Gongzi Shen was not favored by Wei Hou at that time, and even had some disgust. It's not that Gongzi Shen is rebellious, it's just that the older prince is a natural sin for Wei Hou, who has a strong desire for power. Later, Gongshu Acne and other ministers, in order to seek the stability of the country and the immutability of the law of the ancestors, strongly recommended the prince of Wei Hou Li as the crown prince. Prince Shen was very moved by Gongsun Acne and others.

Later, when the princes grew up, the Marquis of Wei preferred the third sons, and everyone in the country knew it. The crown prince Shen, but he did not have an inch of merit, nor did he have great virtue to convince his subjects, and he was very frightened. So, the crown prince Shen secretly recruited henchmen, recruited the old minister Gongsun Acne, and promised heavy profits, after all, Gongsun Acne is the main general of Hexi, holding heavy troops, if he can be recruited, he has a backer in the military, and the position of the prince is not unstable. But Gongsun Yan refused to solicit, and also advised the prince Shen: "There are no two days in the country, there are no two lords in the sky, I hope that the prince will abide by the courtesy of the people, as a courtier of the Marquis of Wei, how can he still become the prince's courtier?" And played Wei Hou to show his loyalty. After hearing this, Marquis Wei and the court reprimanded the prince for his disobedience, and asked where the courtesy of the prince and his ministers was? The crown prince Shen closed the palace and introspected, and at the same time, praised Gongsun Acne, saying: "Loyal and honest." Prince Shen, hated it deeply.

This time, when he attacked Zhao, he thought that by uniting with the general Pang Juan, he would be able to make more gains, establish meritorious deeds, and stabilize the position of the prince. However, he was opposed by Gongsun Acne in the court, and said that the three Jin Dynasty united with Yunyun, and they wanted to be benevolent and virtuous, forming a situation of hegemony without hegemony. "Gongsun old thief, deceive me too much", after returning to his bedroom, the prince Shen said angrily. Prince Shen broke everything in his room and closed the door.

Now, it is still Gongzi Wei who invites himself vigorously, and Prince Shen is out of the house to relax.

Gongzi walked up to Prince Shen: "Prince, is there anyone satisfied?" These are all beauties from all over the world, and it is their blessing to be favored by the prince."

Prince Shen: "Uncle Wang, it's too much." Father, diligent and loving government, strives to be frugal in the palace. Shen, as a courtier, how can you secretly enjoy yourself here? His eyes remained motionless and stared at the pair of twin siblings on the stage, and his face became stupid. Gongzi, looking at the prince's face, he didn't know what the prince was thinking, so he said: "What the prince said is very true, but the prince works hard for the country, and the subjects know it." If there is no reward for meritorious service, it is difficult for people in the world to be at ease. I hope that the prince will accept the kindness of his subjects, and with the heart of all the courtiers. ”

"This ........," said Prince Shen.

"The prince can rest assured, these beauties, the courtiers will all dedicate themselves to the king, and the prince will not fall into a situation of unfilial piety", Gongzi said quickly. Then, he signaled the housekeeper who was already on the side to take the pair of sisters and brothers out of it, and smiled at the prince: "This minister's intention to the prince is to accept it." So he asked the housekeeper to lead the two siblings to the back hall dormitory.

Prince Shen came back to his senses and said to Gongzi Wei: "Uncle Wang, what's the matter?" ”

Gongzi said: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, the fish has entered the hub."

Prince Shen picked up the wine glass on the table in front of him and said, "This matter depends on Uncle Wang, otherwise, my uncle will be so easy to be fooled." This time, I see that I, the old minister, are we for the love of the same clan, or "loyal and frank gentleman". His hand clenched his glass, and his eyes became fierce.

This time, the action of the Wei clan in Yucheng is that Gongzi Wei dedicated to Prince Shen's plan to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys. The crown prince Shen said: "Uncle Wang, please spread rumors, say that your husband and grandson are diligent and patriotic, dedicated to the country, and selfless." The Wei clan of Yucheng, after being a prince, did many acts contrary to morality, bullied the world, so that the virtue of the king could not be blessed in Yucheng. The people of Yucheng hate it deeply." Gongzi said: "Great goodness, this time, I will let my husband and grandson taste the pain of attack, even if it doesn't work, I must cut off one of my husband's grandson's clan, in order to repay the old thief for disobeying the prince's rebellious behavior many times."

Prince Shen was also relieved at this time, thinking of the plight of his husband and grandson tomorrow, the resentment that had accumulated in his heart for many years was slightly released, and his mind was all transferred to the pair of jade girls and children just now. Gongzi, a veteran in the flowers, didn't know the spring in the eyes of the prince, so he confessed and asked the prince to rest Yunyun.

Returning to his study, Gongzi Wei was also overjoyed in his heart, if he succeeded this time, he could not only repay his notoriety of being acneed by his uncle and attacked as a rebellious minister, but also improve his status in Prince Shen's heart. Looking at the few treasures on the table that are said to be the treasures of the Western Zhou Dynasty, I am even happier. This time, the plan to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys was originally Gongzi Wei accidentally learned about Gongsun Acne's family secret history, and it happened that the local family of Yucheng came to Anyi for help, and the two sides hit it off. After the success, the two sides agreed that all the wealth of the Wei family would be owned by Gongzi Wei, and the Yu family and other local clans only wanted to eradicate the Wei family and restore peace to the people of Yucheng. The treasures on the table were offered by them.

Gongzi, playing with the treasure, asked, "Uncle, what's your response?" Do you agree to the conditions? Weis? ”

The housekeeper on the side immediately replied: "At home, there is no news from my uncle and uncle. Wei did not respond either".

Gongzi smiled and said: "I don't know how to lift, tomorrow I will see how the old thief above the court and uncle defend himself, Wei's family, the fish in the hub, don't worry." Later, he arranged for the housekeeper to take a walk and prepare for tomorrow.

Just as he was about to leave, the butler asked, "Family, do you want to inform the general?" ”

Gongzi pinched his chin and said, "Pang Juan......." Immediately let people go to the General's Mansion to spread the word, and tomorrow they will help each other and pay the old thief together.

In the general's mansion, Pang Juan heard what the housekeeper said, and only said: "I know." He stood in front of the window and did not move for a long time. Immediately, the forces of all parties more or less learned about tomorrow.

The forces of all parties are like the moon this night, and all parties are full of morale, and they are round and high in the sky, and I don't know how many people will not sleep tonight. Tomorrow's court is about to start.
