Chapter 383: Bee Butterfly
Chengdu has a basin climate, and sunny days are not available every day. The sun peeks out in the clouds, adding to the gloomy atmosphere.
The atmosphere of war temporarily dissipated, and the noisy scene of the military generals in the room was not seen for two consecutive days. In the morning, Guo Shao met Cao Bin, Xiang Gong and others one after another, and now he is whispering something to Wang Pu in the tea hall.
Jing Niang had nothing to do in the morning, so she stood outside. I couldn't hear what was being said clearly, they spoke very quietly, only to see Wang Pu nodding and clenching his fists to make some movements. Guo Shao talked to him while glancing at Jing Niang from time to time. Even if he has something to do, such silent eyes and attention also make Jing Niang feel that she is with him...... Guo Shao seems to have such a ability, and inadvertent small actions will not be boring, even if he doesn't take care of Jing Niang.
After a while, Wang Pu came out, clenched his fists and said to the room, "The old man said goodbye." ”
Then Guo Shao also walked out and said, "Help me make a cup of tea, and I'll take a look at the money written on the paper." ”
Jing Niang was not disgusted at all by being called by him. She walked over to the stove and, while pouring boiling water, said as if she were doing housework at home, "I see that you have become a flower now." ”
Guo Shao smiled: "My dignity has anything to do with flowers?" ”
Jing Niang said angrily: "You are not a flower, how can those bees and butterflies flutter on you by themselves?" ”
"I know what you're talking about. Didn't I tell you to send Mrs. Blossom last night, she didn't tell you that I am a decent gentleman and treat her politely? Guo Shao's voice said.
Jing Niang walked over and put the teapot on the table heavily: "I don't mean Mrs. Hua Rui. That Wang, if I hadn't been here and ruined your good deeds, hum! People haven't revealed anything yet, so you can't wait to say that you must find a good job for your father and husband, and wait for a good opportunity for her to repay you, right? How to repay ......"
Guo Shao was still laughing and groaning just now, and then his face suddenly turned cold.
Seeing this, Jing Niang stopped saying anything, and silently poured a cup of tea from the teapot to cool it. Jingniang doesn't pay much attention to making tea, that is, she puts the tea leaves in the container and brews it with boiling water, anyway, it smells of tea, and she even despises Chen Jiali's pretentiousness.
Guo Shao was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "Jing Niang is not a person of many words, so I will tell you." I am very disgusted with Wang Zhaoyuan and Li Liangyou, besides, I asked Wang Zhaoyuan to come to Chengdu to persuade him to surrender and make meritorious contributions, what did he do? ”
He paused and said in a deep voice, "The lord of Shu has been ruling with bureaucrats for decades, and those noble bureaucrats have a lot of money. Their riches come from the harvesting of the people; Shu was defeated as soon as it was defeated, what did those people do to Shu after taking the money? It is not an exaggeration to say that the amount of money comparable to the amount of money in the treasury is ill-gotten gains. Now that even the lord of the country is going bankrupt, why don't those nobles who are loyal to Meng Chang cut their meat? I am polite to them now, because I just occupied Shu and did not want to provoke a rebellion.
Guo Shao continued: "We need someone to be the wicked person and help us get the private wealth of those Zhumen nobles." This person is Wang Zhaoyuan, I just discussed with Wang Pu, just to set up a new official position in Shu 'transfer envoy', let Wang Zhaoyuan do it.
Let him make up the wrong military expenses, but he can't handle the local taxes...... In this way, he had no choice but to find a way to blackmail from his usual political enemies, and he would also win over some Shu officials as accomplices. I know that Wang Zhaoyuan will take the opportunity to be greedy for profit, but let him get richer the better. ”
Guo Shao's expression turned cold: "When the doctors of Shu Kingdom hate Wang Zhaoyuan to the core, let's send someone over to help everyone vent." ”
Jing Niang listened carefully, and said with an ugly expression: "Ah Lang ...... do this"
"The specific strategy is not something I came up with, it's Wang Pu." Guo Shao said, "He said that the tricks played by the Northern and Southern Dynasties are just a little trick compared to the collection and scraping methods of the Great Zhou Dynasty. ”
Jing Niang said softly: "It was said that the rivers and lakes were sinister, but the most sinister ones were not in the rivers and lakes. ”
Guo Shao was silent for a while, and said: "Because of the good weather for many years, there are Yicangs in various parts of Shu Kingdom; It is to store food on the spot and use it for disaster relief in disaster years. I don't plan to call this Yicang, I just send someone to supervise ......"
Jing Niang said: "If Wang Zhaoyuan and Li Liangyou are killed, what do you think will happen to that Wang?" ”
"I can't take care of these personal matters." Guo Shaodao.
Jing Niang said again: "Ah Lang's plan, won't those people see through?" ”
Guo Shao said: "Wang Pu will stay in Shu for the time being, and he will have a way." Moreover, it will take a long time for the result of this matter to be revealed, and it is not the same official who came forward before and after, who can be sure that the cause and effect are premeditated? ”
……
The sun finally emerged from the clouds again, shining the palace of Shu Kingdom brightly, and Mrs. Hua Rui had a dignified temperament, walking briskly through the flower hall and walking to the corridor. She was accompanied by several palace maids and a eunuch. She was going to see Meng Chang.
The corridor is like an open pavilion, but it is built very long, and the railings on both sides are made of white marble, and the wood is painted red, and the red and white are very delicate. The grass and trees outside have mostly withered away, and it is the season of green, fat, red and thin, but the green branches are also a vibrant scenery.
In the warm summer, the cool breeze blowing from the corridor is very pleasant. Madame Blossom's steps were brisk, and her steps quickened.
Enter the palace gate and pass through the palace chamber with low curtains. She stopped her entourage and walked into Meng Chang's bedroom...... The scene in front of her suddenly made Madame Hua Rui's brisk and comfortable mood change. I saw that the table and bench fell to the ground, and even the brocade quilt was under the bed, and the floor was in a mess, with overturned books, pieces of paper, gin glasses, and broken porcelain shards.
And Meng Chang was lying on the dragon bed, sleeping soundly.
Madame Blossom carefully stepped over the debris on the floor and walked to the bed. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" She reached out and gently nudged Meng Chang's body. Although Shu is dead, out of habit, Mrs. Hua Rui still calls him like this, and there are no outsiders in this palace.
"Hmm......" Meng Chang made a sound, and he didn't move.
Mrs. Blossom's hand touched his body, and the place where he touched his hand was as soft as cotton, and when he glanced at it, he saw that Meng Chang's body was full of soft flesh. He usually wears a wide robe, which is not obvious, but now he is only wearing a profane clothes, which are bulging, there is too much meat, and his body has no shape at all.
"Your Majesty, wake up." Madame Blossom pushed him with a little more force.
Meng Chang squirted out a sip of wine that left the smell in his mouth all night, with a rancid stench, and sprayed right on Madame Blossom's face. She was so careless that she almost didn't vomit. Meng Chang still didn't open his eyes, turned over, and lay on the bed on his back.
Her belly was bulging high like a pregnant woman who had been pregnant for several months, and even there were two large lumps of flesh on her chest in her obscene clothes, like an old woman's sagging things. But his skin was white and delicate...... If you don't look at the head, but only the body, you may mistake it for a fat woman.
For a moment, Madame Blossom suddenly felt a little disgusted...... I had never felt this way for so long with Meng Chang before. Maybe because he was the supreme emperor in Shu, he didn't even dare to think about it, and dared to dislike such a noble person.
Noble identity and origin have always been something that Mrs. Blossom is in awe of. Even if Meng Chang had lost the throne, she still felt that kind of thing was very powerful and could be relied on. But now, she suddenly had some doubts...... But it was not clear what it was that affected her mood.
Madame Hua Rui was bolder than usual, so she reached out to pinch Meng Chang's nose and covered his mouth with her hand!
Meng Chang quickly opened his eyes and said angrily, "What's the matter?" ”
Mrs. Hua Rui said: "It's noon, Your Majesty should get up first, it's not a way to lie down like this." ”
Meng Chang rubbed his temples with his hands, his brows furrowed, and he looked like he might have a headache. He said, "What can I do when I get up?" ”
Madame Hua Rui said softly, "Guo ...... The central army of the Zhou army ordered that the concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs be sent coiled and dry food, and they were dismissed within two days and let them go home. His Majesty and his concubines will also leave the palace, settle down in the Zhou military camp, and go with them to Tokyo to meet the Empress Dowager of the Zhou Dynasty, who will be blessed by the imperial court.
These things need to be ordered by His Majesty, so that everyone can arrange them. ”
"Blacksmith Guo said?" Meng Chang said.
Madame Blossom gently pressed her lips and whispered, "Don't call it that way in the future." ”
Meng Chang said: "The country is ruined, that's it." What a mess of, I give an order now, and you can arrange it. ”
Madame Hua Rui hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, there are still some people in the royal family, and even elders, how can a concubine be qualified to arrange?" You'd better get up. ”
Seeing Meng Chang's depressed face, she pondered for a moment, and then persuaded with good words: "Your Majesty, although you have encountered a great setback, as long as you cheer up, there is still hope for the days ahead." That Guo Dashuai is not a barbaric and unreasonable person......"
"Hope?" Meng Chang lay down and pondered for a while, then suddenly sat up, "Yes! There are still many officials, generals, and soldiers in Shu, and I will treat them well, as long as I find loyal ministers......"
"Your Majesty!" Madame Blossom lost her face and hurriedly interrupted him.
Meng Chang crossed his hands on his hips, and sat on the edge of the bed with Bai Shengsheng's big belly: "Gou Jian has also died in the country, and he can swallow Wu with three thousand Yue Jia!" ”
Mrs. Hua Rui hurriedly persuaded: "Gou Jian is a ruthless person, Your Majesty is a good person by nature, and he has never suffered since he was a child...... Let's stop dreaming, and be obedient to the Zhou court and ask for a way to live! ”
"I'm not ruthless?" Meng Chang said, "Things in the world, as long as you make up your mind......"
