Dirt Hill Camp

Yan Kui didn't understand why King Duan and King Jing were so "diligent" to woo themselves, in fact, he was in the bureau here, and he didn't understand his current status on the front line.

In the battle of Yanlin defense, the Western Zhou Tiger General Suoya was repeatedly defeated, losing troops, and finally even forced the Western Zhou Ji Lin soldiers to abandon the attack point of Yanlin.

At the same time, Yan Kui, as the most outstanding member of the Yanlin Jin Army, stepped on Suoya, the general of Anbei in the Western Zhou Dynasty, from an unknown person, and successfully ascended to the throne, and took the limelight.

Coupled with the fact that the old marshal Peng Kuohai praised Yan Kui in front of people several times, it can be said that Yan Kui's reputation is now among the 400,000 troops on the front line, not to mention that everyone knows it, at least everyone who is well-informed has heard his name.

has a great reputation, meritorious achievements, high force, and can command troops, Yan Kui's actions during this period of time have made many people think that he is a rising star of the Northern Jin Dynasty.

And the most important thing is that Yan Kui has risen quickly, the background is simple, except for the two nominal bosses of Tong'an General Soldier Hong Guangbing and Qin Qi, Yan Kui has not been involved in too many forces, almost relying on himself to take the position, this situation is very difficult in the Northern Jin Dynasty military.

……………

In the barracks, there is also a talk about family connections, needless to say, those generals and noble sons and daughters, and those generals who are slowly rising from poor families, most of them have their own "bosses", and the connections behind them can be called extremely complicated.

For example, Qin Qi, he belonged to Di Yi who was pulled up by Di Yi, and he and the outside world listed him under Di Yi, unless he broke with Di Yi, otherwise both sides would be tied together, and both would be prosperous.

Therefore, if there is no nod from Di Yi, unless Emperor Liyang personally orders a general like Qin Qi, ordinary people will not be able to support them at all, let alone win them over.

Unless you win over the backer boss behind him, then he will automatically join you, otherwise, if Di Yi doesn't say anything, Qin Qi will never easily get involved in taking the heir.

And Yan Kui is different, although he is currently Di Yi's general in the eyes of many people, but frankly speaking, Yan Kui's rise did not borrow much from Di Yi, and the involvement between him and Di Yi is far from a deep word.

In other words, Yan Kui is still a "free body" now, and for Duanwang and King Jing, who are bent on establishing a group of people who are completely loyal to their team, Yan Kui's ability and background are the best choice.

This is also the reason why the two princes attach so much importance to Yan Kui.

……………

Of course, to recruit talents, you have to cast a wide net to catch more fish, and Duanwang is not just holding Yan Kui alone, and he is treated equally by the two princes, as well as several rising stars in the military and the court.

Yan Kui himself was among them, and he was not even the one who paid the most price when he was co-opted by the two princes.

When Yan Kui was in Tong'an, he heard that King Duan was preparing to match his sister to marry a young Yushi surnamed Ma in Yushitai.

This Ma Yushi is a closed disciple of the Imperial History, born as the champion of the imperial examination, and has a great reputation among the officials and scholars, and faintly has the meaning of the leader of the new generation of scholars.

Duanwang is ready to sell his sister here, and King Jing in the other side is not ambiguous.

Last year, he hooked up with a few wealthy businessmen out of nowhere, with rich financial resources, and smashed a large amount of gold, silver, and beauties, and gathered a large group of green forest characters, and then formed a gang called Shanhaitang, which was dedicated to finding out news for him and making black gloves.

The scale of this Shanhaitang in King Jing's lane is not small, and only Yan Kui knows that there are six or seven well-known bigwigs on the green forest road under his command.

You must know that these people are all giants who dominate one side in the green forest, King Jing subdued them, and was willing to be the eagle dog in his hand, and the price spent can be imagined.

Compared with the two princes' big deals, using a thousand-year-old tonic to woo Yan Kui is a lot of money, but it is not enough to smash the pot and sell iron, at any cost.

…………

Of course, Yan Kui didn't want to be jealous of those "talents", he wished that King Duan and King Jing would ignore him, but he didn't fulfill people's wishes, and he was only blamed for being too good.

Yan Kui shamelessly praised himself in his heart, and then refocused his attention on Peng Ziqi, who was smiling confidently in front of him, and suddenly had a headache in his head.

What did he have to say in order to make His Royal Highness King Jing, who had done useless work, as embarrassing as possible.

Yan Kui pondered in his heart for a long time, but finally didn't come up with a good idea, and finally could only tell him tactfully.

You're late, and King Duan has already sold all the favors in front of you............

Looking at Peng Dianshu, who was a little confused after listening to his words, Yan Kui felt a little unbearable in his heart, to tell the truth, he didn't want to refuse King Jing's face like this, after all, no matter what the other party's original intention was, he really gave him medicine.

But there is no way, who made him a step late.

Duanwang's thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum has been practiced into medicine by Bai Qianyu, and Yan Kui also wrote a letter of thanks to Duanwang in person, the matter is a foregone conclusion, Yan Kui can't eat the rice in the bowl while still thinking about the dishes in the pot.

People can't be too greedy, greed is easy to become wall grass, and wall grass has always been despised by everyone.

…………

Peng Ziyi left, and his face was very unsightly when he left, but unexpectedly he didn't make a face to Yan Kui, but squeezed out a smile to congratulate Huang Wei'er on his improvement, which made Yan Kuigao look at the other party.

It is said that King Jing has an arrogant and unruly personality, and his subordinates also have their eyes on the door of their heads, but today, looking at Peng Zi's words and deeds, his manners are generous, polite and courteous, and he is definitely not what he looks like in the rumors.

"Tsk, it seems that there are a lot of filthiness in this succession."

Yan Kui smacked his lips, looking at the background of Peng Ziyi's departure, his heart was a little touched.

Three days later, on the second day of November in the 14th year of Liyang

King Jing's temporary residence

King Jing, who had just eaten lunch, changed his face slightly after listening to Peng Ziqi's report, and at this time, he only had two thoughts in his heart.

First, how the news leaked out, and second, how did the Chang family do things, and they were actually taken a step ahead by Duanwangfu.

King Jing suddenly remembered these two points in the morning, not for no reason, first of all, the information issue of Huang Weier's condition.

As a competitor, Duan Wang now has people placed by King Jing by his side, and his status is not low, and King Duan generally can't hide his actions, so King Jing can be sure that before he sent someone to deliver the letter, King Duan did not have any action against Yan Kui.

Now that his third emperor brother can send medicine one step ahead of him, the keen King Jing feels that eighty percent of his side has made meticulous work.

"Hunting geese all day long, today I was pecked by geese and hurt my eyes, interesting."

King Jing smiled on his face, but his eyes and voice were extremely cold: "Chuan Wei Wuji." ”

After a while, a bald strong man with a height of seven feet and a hideous face strode into the room, and asked angrily.

"Lord, what do you command?"

…………

Wei Wuji, nicknamed Tieshou Zhenshan, the first master of the green forest in northern Hebei (northern Jizhou), a pair of iron hands can break gold and jade, at present, he is under the command of King Jing, serving as the deputy hall master of Shanhai Hall, and is one of King Jing's most powerful thugs.

"Take someone to find out that on the day I sent someone to the capital, all those who know about this matter, those who have handled the letters, must check it carefully, and remember, it is better to kill than let go."

Since he was under King Jing's account, it was not the first time Wei Wuji had done such a thing, and nodded: "Before nightfall tomorrow, my subordinates will hand over the results to you on time." ”

King Jing waved his hand, asked Wei Wuji to go down, waved Peng Ziqi away, and then called the palace steward who had come from the capital to deliver medicinal materials a few days ago and had not had time to return, and asked straight to the point.

"The messenger sent by the king came back to say that the princess is sick, and you are serving in the palace, do you know that the princess's condition is serious?"

The palace steward glanced at King Jing, who had a gloomy expression, and didn't know that something was going to happen, so he fell to his knees, his head hit the ground, and the whole person was lying on his stomach and didn't dare to reply.

"Say, this king's patience is limited today, and he doesn't want to ask you again."

The steward was frightened by King Jing's words, his whole body was like chaff, sweat was like rain, he wiped his face with his sleeve, the steward gritted his teeth, and told the things he knew in one go, and even poured out all the things that had nothing to do with this matter.

“……… I didn't ask for a doctor...... The princess entered the palace two days after the messenger left......... The house is not very peaceful, and the relationship between the princess and the side concubine is a little stiff......... Last month, another maid died, and the princess ordered the cane to be killed......... The Queen Mother reprimanded, and Her Majesty seems to have given an edict to the palace to reprimand Chen............"

…………

The more he knelt on the ground and said, the more ugly King Jing's face became, and in the end, King Jing finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, pulled out the sword in his waist, cut down the candlestick next to him, and scolded with hatred.

"Poisonous woman, stupid, don't think about governing the backyard, assist the husband, only know how to fight for the wind and be jealous every day, stir up the wind and rain, insult the reputation of my palace, and spoil my plan to recruit talents, if it weren't for the sake of the mother and uncle, the king would have divorced her directly."

King Jing scolded Princess Jing to vent the anger in his heart, and the steward kneeling on the ground was almost frightened, and he wanted to immediately poke his ears deafening, so as not to listen to these terrible words.

…………

King Jing vented for a while, slowly regained some calm, raised his eyes to look at the palace steward who was shrunk on the ground and was trying to load quails, raised his hand and threw a pen holder.

"Don't pretend, this king has something to explain to you."

The steward raised his head and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, please command." ”

King Jing ignored him, put away the sword he had just drawn, came to the desk and sat down, picked up the brush and wrote half a piece of paper, and handed it to the steward.

"You take it back and hand it over to the Shangguan concubine, let her go to the palace and hand over my letter to the mother concubine, isn't the princess sick, then she will be sick for a while, don't you don't like to take care of family affairs, I'll let others help you take care of ........."

The more King Jing spoke, the more angry he became, and in the end, he had a faint feeling of gritting his teeth, and the steward didn't dare to listen carefully, so he respectfully took King Jing's letter and hid it closely.

The steward saw that King Jing had nothing else to explain, and was about to retire, but was stopped by King Jing.

"There is one more thing, go back and ask Concubine Shangguan to send some medicinal supplements to Qingyuan Yan Mansion in the name of the palace, and the specifications refer to ...... Duanwangfu.

Remember, let Shangguan Concubine carefully inquire about the specifications of the medicinal materials given to Yan Mansion by Duanwangfu, and we can only produce more than not less, and if it is not enough, we will go to the palace to ask the concubine for help, and ask for a little bit to cover Duanwangfu. ”

The steward retreated as ordered, leaving King Jing alone in the room, his eyes looking at the direction of Duanwang's temporary residence, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

"Brother Huang, this time you are slightly better, but now it is far from the time to win or lose, Yan Kui, I am going to decide............
