The emperor rested at the Daimyo's Mansion that night. Wang Zhong waited for him to fall asleep, then cautiously walked out of the bedroom, took a long breath, and instructed left and right: "Don't doze off and take turns to guard, and someone must be awake at all times." ”

After that, Wang Zhong was about to find a place to sleep for a while, when he saw a eunuch with thick bones and yellow muscles standing under the eaves outside. Who is not his godson Peng Hanju? I was sent to Tokyo before, but I didn't expect to return to the army so soon...... Wang Zhong thought that he would wait for everyone to return to the palace in Ouchi, Tokyo.

"Godfather." Peng Han raised his hand and bowed.

Wang Zhong said: "Come with me." ”

The two entered a side room next door, Wang Zhong personally closed the door, pulled Peng Hanju's sleeve and walked a few steps inside, and asked in a low voice, "Did you bring the words?" ”

"I brought it, but I didn't see the queen's mother, I only saw Cao Tai's house." Peng Han said.

The two of them are white and sallow, their complexions are completely different, Wang Zhong is already one or two years younger, he looks white and fat, and he looks much younger than his "son". Wang Zhong nodded and said: "Cao Tai took refuge in Yedu, and at that time, the queen had just remarried to the official family and was not the queen...... You told Cao Tai, and it's the same. Hey? Wang Jien stayed in Tokyo and waited for us, why didn't you come back with him? ”

"That's what my son wants to say." Peng Hanju's voice became lower and lower, and he whispered, "My son thinks about it, and I think that I can't be too troublesome, so I have to run quickly." Because I think it's weird. ”

"What's strange?" Wang Zhong asked casually.

Peng Hanju said: "Before the godfather asked his son to bring a message, he mentioned that he had asked Wang Jien to send a letter. But Mr. Cao said he had never received a letter from Mr. Wang. In my opinion, Cao Tai was quite surprised and suspicious of my message; So I think what he said is true...... Otherwise, he shouldn't have been surprised to see me. ”

"Then Wang Jien is in Tokyo?" Wang Zhong asked.

Peng Hanju replied, "Yes." ”

After Wang Zhong pondered for a moment, he suddenly scolded: "This eats something outside the grill!" ”

Peng Hanju also echoed: "Godfather scolded well, he went back to Tokyo, but he didn't deliver the letter, where did the letter go?" ”

"!" Wang Zhong showed a wrinkle on his forehead, "Lao Tzu trusts him too much!" Go back and settle accounts with this guy. ”

…… The emperor met Fu Yanqing twice in the Daimyo's Mansion, and he didn't stay long before continuing south. The guard of honor and the army walked a little around this way, but they could walk along the river; It seems that the emperor really just stopped by, after all, Fu Yanqing is also his father-in-law.

From Xiongshu, the army walked for almost a month to reach Tokyo.

On the night when the emperor's carriage entered the palace, Wang Zhong immediately called Wang Jien over, and dismissed all the idlers in the courtyard of the Inner Servant Province. For a while, Wang Zhong looked annoyed, in this dimly lit courtyard, it was not a big deal for him to kill a eunuch.

When Wang Jien saw the appearance of the "godfather", he was also afraid under his usual prestige, and first said: "The letter was lost, and I didn't dare to return it for fear of being punished by my godfather." ”

Wang Zhong was furious and scolded: "It seems that if I don't give you some color, you won't be big or small!" Come! ”

Seeing this, Wang Jien's face suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "Godfather, you are so wrong that you shouldn't write a letter by yourself." Don't you think that's a real trick? Do you dare to touch me? ”

"What do you mean, threatening the miscellaneous family?" Wang Zhong was angry and anxious, "You are an unfaithful and unfilial thing, and you still have the face to call Lao Tzu godfather?" ”

Wang Jien suddenly straightened his waist, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water: "Wang Zhong!" Call you godfather, what do you think? It's just that he has been following the official family for a long time, and he has been waiting for the official family for a long time. The official family trusts you so much, I don't vote for you and call you godfather, is there anything you can do? ”

"Hmph." Wang Zhong made a voice.

Wang Jien said: "The official family trusts you so much, but you betray him. What do you think would happen if that letter fell into the hands of the officials? "Wang Jien suddenly said in a loud voice, the official family was betrayed by a dog slave and maid of his cronies, and he had to cut you with a thousand knives with his temper!"

Wang Zhong couldn't help but show fear when he heard this.

Wang Jien became more and more proud: "The letter is no longer in the hands of the miscellaneous family, but has been given to others...... Don't ask who it is, the miscellaneous family won't tell you. If the miscellaneous family is in a hurry, or the miscellaneous family has three long and two short, then the letter will appear in front of the official. At that point, it's too late to regret it! ”

"Dog thing!" Wang Zhong frowned, and suddenly felt that he was too negligent, and he really didn't expect that his godson, who had been with him for several years, would be so insidious.

That Wang Jien also said with a heartfelt voice: "When the disaster comes, they fly separately." The official family trusts you so much, do you see that the backer is no longer good, and don't you also want to vote for the new master with a shy face? The miscellaneous family is the same, but there is a slight difference: the miscellaneous family does not fancy the queen, not to mention, how good is it to follow you to take the same risk, even if you become a miscellaneous family? ”

Wang Zhong's face was blue and white for a while, and he was speechless to refute.

After a while, Peng Hanju cautiously proposed: "We are just poor people begging for food, why do we have to pour into each other? ”

Wang Zhong said: "What do you think of this?" ”

Peng Hanju said: "Let's do our thing, Wang Jien does his, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and pretend not to know each other." ”

Wang Zhong said: "Since you told Cao Tai about the secret letter, what should you do if you investigate it and don't get Wang Jien out to explain?" ”

Peng Hanju said: "Cao Tai doesn't care about this matter, he doesn't even believe what we say." The first thing Cao Tai needs to figure out now is why his godfather wants to secretly associate with him, whether he really wants to take refuge and believe it or not. As for the fact that I mentioned the secret letter that day, it is not worth pursuing...... Maybe we think we want to show our loyalty. ”

Wang Zhong pondered for a while, nodded and said, "That's the same." Even if you ask, just find an excuse to send it away. After that, he looked at Wang Jien.

"Peng Gong's proposal is quite good." Wang Jien said, "As long as you don't deal with the miscellaneous family, the miscellaneous family will naturally turn a blind eye...... It doesn't do the miscellaneous family any good to take the risk of revealing your handles. ”

"Who are you doing privately?" Wang Zhong couldn't help but ask curiously.

Wang Jien did not answer.

He didn't want to fall out with Wang Zhong, and planned to step on two boats quietly. But since the matter has been revealed, I have to break the jar and threaten each other with a handle.

Now that his identity has been revealed, Wang Jien plans to be more cautious in the future for the sake of prudence, and will no longer contact people with personal friends unless he has to.

…… But Wang Jien didn't expect that where he was at every moment, he had already been watched by people in turn. Before he thought that his identity was revealed, as soon as the forbidden army arrived in Tokyo, he quietly met Zhao Pu.

In the study room of the Zide Palace, Cao Tai was reporting on Wang Jien these days and his whereabouts just now.

And the queen took a chess game and looked at it, and at the same time placed black and white pieces on the chessboard one by one, as if she didn't listen to it at all, and she didn't care at all. But the eunuch Cao Tai doesn't care whether the queen listens or not, she will naturally listen if she wants to listen, and if she doesn't want to listen to a subtle action, Cao Tai knows to shut up.

Cao Tai said: "Niangniang, how should we deal with Wang Jien?" It's not a good thing to let this guy mess up in the palace, or find a reason to send it somewhere else...... That's not easy to do, Wang Jien is Wang Zhong's person, and the miscellaneous family can't get past Wang Zhong to send his good son. ”

"Really a good son." Fu suddenly showed a sneer.

Cao Tai hurriedly echoed: "Those people are bad-eyed, it's really a dog-eat-dog...... Speaking of this, he hurriedly said, "The slave family is wrong, you shouldn't pollute the mother!" ”

At this moment, Fu pointed to the chessboard and said, "I didn't have the leisure to play chess before, and I didn't have anyone to accompany me. I only started learning last year, and I've never played with anyone. ”

Cao Tai hurriedly said: "With Niangniang's intelligence, those who have learned chess since childhood may not be able to play Niangniang now." ”

Fu Shi smiled: "It's very simple, you see, if you have to eat this piece of sunspot with white; It stands to reason that Black will be forced to stare at this place for grabs, and you will not be able to eat it in the end. ”

Cao Tai nodded and said: "That's the reason, unless the opponent is letting others go." ”

"Playing chess can make it, but can it be a matter of winning or losing your life?" Fu Shi said, "The best way is not to move anyone." Just know it in your heart, it's not time for us to move; Don't trap yourself in an inconsequential place. ”

Cao Tai was thoughtful.

Fu Shi glanced at him: "You are usually a good person, but once many things are involved, the more you will be confused. Wang Zhong naturally can't move, no matter what his idea is, it's always a good thing to show favor to us, you can find an opportunity to make some requests, tell him not to stare at your people everywhere. ”

"Yes, that's what the mother said." Cao Tai nodded hurriedly.

Fu Shi said: "You have to ponder ten steps to take one step." Wang Jien couldn't move even more, and pulled his whole body. As soon as Wang Jien is dealt with, he and his comrades may suspect that Wang Zhong did it; In this way, the secret letter mentioned by Peng Hanju will be revealed. Wang Zhong will be unlucky, Wang Zhong is unlucky because he wants to take refuge in me...... Of course, this matter has nothing to do with us, but the officials will think that I have something in mind. and Wang Jien's fellow party ......"

Cao Tai was confused for a while, and his expression became dazed.

Fu Shi glanced at him, stopped, and said, "That's it." ”

Cao Tai hurriedly said: "The slave is dull, but as long as you are loyal to the queen, you can just listen to your orders." ”

Fu Shi ignored him, and suddenly muttered a sentence, making Cao Tai a little unable to keep up with her thoughts. "Female Fu Dynasty King...... What a coincidence, a wooden sign can fly to the Emperor of the Great Zhou; If anything could reach the emperor, would the world still be like this? ”

She thought for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before someone talks about celestial phenomena." ”

"How did the mother know?"

Fu said: "There are allusions to the words on this brand, the proverb of the Tang Dynasty, 'The Tang Dynasty is weak, and there is a female martial king'." According to the wild history that has been circulated, isn't it a celestial phenomenon next? The person who came up with the idea must be a civil official, and he has read a lot of books, including wild history miscellaneous books. ”

Cao Tai hurriedly asked, "What should I do then?" ”

"No way." Fu sighed quietly, "Sometimes it's like this, you know what people want to do, and there's nothing they can do. ”
