Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, was originally going to accompany Wei Qun and Song Hongzhong in Dongyuan tonight, and feasted Chu envoys Han Qian and Guo Rong, the snow was still falling, and this wine naturally had to be drunk.

When Jing Qiongwen was about to leave, he saluted Han Qian and asked: "The first sentence of the new word is magnificent, dare to ask Lord Han, has this poem been filled in, and asked Jing someone to reward him?" ”

"The Hou Ye and the county lord are wondering in their hearts who copied this new word from my pen, where do I dare to do such a shameless thing?" Han Qian laughed.

Changxianghou's face turned red, and he thought to himself, could it be that the suspicion he had just revealed was too obvious?

The county lord of Qingyang turned his eyes to look at the night snow outside the bar, which meant that Han Qian's words were copied from others.

Jing Qiongwen laughed, and when he was about to leave, Han Qian invited him with a salute: "Jing Gong also stays for a glass of wine?" ”

"Even if the new word is just this sentence, it is worth drinking two more glasses," Jing Qiongwen took advantage of the situation to sit down again, and asked Wei Qun, the Qing of Honglu Temple, with a smile, "Lord Wei, what do you say?" ”

"The first sentence of the new word is naturally wonderful, and it is really difficult to connect sentences in a hurry." Wei Qun laughed.

"Shu wine is too soft, drink boring, I made Shu this time, in addition to the wild goose spring, but also brought a new spring plum wine. This new wine is very small, so it can't be offered to the lord of the country, can Hou Ye and Jing Gong want to taste it privately? Han Qian asked with a smile.

"I'm also a good drinker, and that's great." Jing Qiongwen said.

Han Qian instructed Xi Ying to go to Nanyuan to get wine and wine utensils in person.

After the Marquis of Qingjiang left, the top floor was even more empty, even if there were stoves at the four corners, but the four columns were not covered by doors and windows, and the cold wind was still boneless.

After Xi Ying brought the new spring plum wine, everyone moved to the west window room on the second floor for a banquet.

The so-called Chunmei new liquor is only distilled and purified on the basis of traditional fruit liquor, and the sweetness is increased by sugar and other substances, and the taste is excellent, and even the fierceness of the liquor can not be felt in the mouth, which can be said to be intoxicating.

Everyone pushed the cup and changed the cup, Wei Qun had the weakest amount of alcohol, and he didn't have the support to drink the seven cups, so he rolled under the table and told him to help him down to rest; Then Guo Rong, Song Hongzhong and others also got drunk one after another, and at this time, Han Qian motioned to Feng Yi and them to go out, so that he could have a secret conversation with Changxiang Hou and Wei Qun.

"What's the matter, how can they get drunk so easily, and we're all right?" Wei Qun asked in surprise.

"Karakuri is in this Xuanji pot," Han Qian pointed to the silver wine pot held by Xi Ying, and said, "This Xuanji pot has a compartment inside, which can hold two kinds of wine, and the machine is enclosed on the inside of the handle, and the person holding the pot can change different wines to pour into the cup with a slight flick - even if there is poisonous wine inside, it can coax people to drink it unconsciously." Seeing that Lord Wei was so surprised, Shenling Division probably didn't have such a strange and ingenious thing, right? ”

Changxiang Hou Wang Yong and Wei Qun looked at each other, and their backs were oozing with sweat.

They are all afraid that others will poison them, but even if Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, it is impossible not to eat outside, and they can only be more careful in normal times.

It's just that no matter how careful they are, they all watched Han Qian drink a pot of wine with them, how could they think of the secret mystery in the wine jug?

Han Qian filled the Xuanji pot with two kinds of wine this time, and used spirits to get Wei Qun, Guo Rong and the others drunk first, so that it would be convenient for them to talk secretly, but if the other thing hidden in this wine pot was poisonous wine, wouldn't anyone realize that the poison was caused by Han Qian if others returned to the mansion and died of poison?

Han Qian smiled in his heart, it's a little bit, I really can't shock you if you don't take something real!

Regardless of the surprise on their faces at the moment, Han Qian continued to smile and said: "The previous dynasty was destroyed, I thought that the Shenling Division was in name only, and it was not until the late Red Mansion wanted to take away the prescription for miasma wine from me earlier, I thought that Jianghuai and Sichuan and Shu still had contact......

Han Qian wanted to deceive more secrets from the mouths of Changxiang Hou and Wei Qun, of course, he would not admit that he only recently learned about the Shenling Division from the Third Prince, nor would he admit that the Third Prince's knowledge of the Shenling Division was also very limited, and he only mentioned the recipe for dispelling miasma wine in a very light tone.

When Yao Xishui mentioned that he wanted to get rid of the miasma wine, Han Qian guessed that there was still a force lurking in the Late Red Mansion outside the Jianghuai, but he still waited until the third prince told him that the Shenling Si was a secret agency set up by Zhaozong of the previous dynasty through the eunuch group, and when he stepped into Shu this time and learned that Su Shufei and Changxiang Hou were a branch of the Shenling Division, and spied out that Su Shufei's death and Changxiang Hou's idleness had another hidden secret, he thought that it was very likely that the Sichuan and Shu sides needed a recipe to dispel the miasma wine for conquering the wingmen located in the mountains of southern Sichuan.

In the previous dynasty, Zhaozong secretly set up the Shenling Division, which was intended to reduce the feudal domain and reunify the United States.

As far as the situation in the late period of the previous dynasty is concerned, Henan, Hedong, Shandong, Youyan and other places are fighting endlessly, Jianghuai was the most important source of taxes for the dynasty at that time, and Sichuan and Shu were the back garden of the imperial family's frequent refuge and rebellion.

Therefore, Han Qian guessed that at that time, Wan Honglou intended to get the prescription for dispelling miasma wine, and he should have wanted to provide it to Wei Qun.

However, if Han Qian guessed wrong, he could find an excuse to fool the past, he himself and the Evening Red Mansion were not all the way, and it was not normal to guess wrong occasionally.

Han Qian obviously guessed correctly, Wei Qun was probably shocked by the Xuanji pot, he didn't expect Han Qian to lie to him at all, and said with a slightly melancholy expression: "It is said that it is from the same vein, but after it is divided, in the end, it is just a matter of each pursuing its own interests - the late red mansion asked for too much, we didn't agree, but we didn't expect that the late red mansion did not have a recipe for dispelling miasma wine in his hand - in the past two years, only Xuzhou has dispelled miasma wine flowing out, we should have thought of this a long time ago!" ”

Han Qian smiled in his heart, the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion was almost squeezed dry in order to prepare for the establishment of the Dragon Bird Army, and it was really not soft to deceive the old people, and later it was estimated that Wei Qun was frightened away by the offer of the Late Red Mansion, and Li Pu and Yao Xishui did not mention the matter of the miasma in front of him.

"If Lord Hou and Lord Wei want a prescription for dispelling miasma, I can transcribe it now, but if Lord Hou wants to be recognized by the Lord of Shu, he needs to have a unique and insightful opinion on the issue of southern Sichuan, and it is far from enough to have a picture of the master of the miasma or a few whirlwind cannons......

Since it is certain that Wei Qun and they want to get a prescription for dispelling miasma, it shows that they have indeed used their brains on the issue of the southern Sichuan bureaucracy, and at the same time, it is also said that the attitude of Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, towards the Marquis of Changxiang has softened, but it has not reached the point of entrusting the prince Qingjiang Marquis with a heavy task.

After understanding Wei Qun's intentions, and Han Qian had done enough homework on the issue of the southern Sichuan bureaucrats in the past ten days, he naturally became more confident at this time, and continued:

"I think your lord secretly hates Qingjiang Hou, but it's very simple. Your lord is called the king not the emperor, and he is a little shorter in front of the two countries of Liang and Chu, taking today as an example, the marquis of Qingjiang mainly did not take advantage of the emperor's other etiquette, so he was so unbearable by me that he had to leave the table in embarrassment - then the marquis of Qingjiang complained in private, and the future symmetrical emperor had expectations, which is also a matter of course, right? ”

Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, thought to himself, Han Qian made Shu a head above others, mainly because the lord of Chu was the emperor, and his father was only the king in Shu.

In terms of the number of reception gifts, he was inexplicably shorter when he went to Chu State, but Han Qian was a cut higher when he went to Shudi, so that Han Qian didn't give Qingjiang Marquis face at all just now and fought back proudly, which could not be regarded as a faux pastime.

If his father is the emperor in Shu, Wang Hongyi, as the prince, will be above Han Qian as the envoy of Shu; Han Qian behaved too aggressively, which was Han Qian's gift of not knowing how to be humble and retreating.

At this time, Wang Hongyi directly reprimanded, Han Qian can still take the responsibility for the breakdown of relations between the two countries, so that he can leave Shudi?

Jing Qiongwen is also a shrewd person, and after thinking about it for a while, he thought of what Han Qian wanted to suggest them do:

"Lord Han hopes that we can inadvertently spread these complaints of the Marquis of Qingjiang to the ears of the lord of the country?"

Jing Qiongwen also knew very well in his heart that there had always been voices within Shu advocating that the lord of the country should directly claim the emperor, but the lord of the country had always ignored it.

The lord of the country thought that the time was not ripe, and the strength of Shu was too weak compared to Liang Chu, but the people below may not be able to understand the mind of the lord of the country.

It's just that when such complaints reach the ears of the lord, the meaning will be more or less different.

"That's not enough," Han Qian said with a smile, "You have to let the people of the Marquis of Qingjiang take the initiative to mention in the book and implore your lord to be the emperor, so that it can really show that the Marquis of Qingjiang is a little impatient, and make your lord vigilant!" Of course, if there are your people around the Marquis of Qingjiang, while the Marquis of Qingjiang is angry today, with a little provocation, it will be easier for things to succeed! ”

Wei Qun and Changxiang Hou glanced at each other, did not admit it, did not deny it, and acquiesced that Qingjiang Hou had someone they could use.

"If that's all there is to it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Lord Han to succeed in this trip?" Jing Qiongwen's eyes hesitantly stared at Han Qian and asked.

Jing Qiongwen asked this, which also showed that he had had the opportunity to have full communication with Changxiang Hou before, and knew that the most fundamental goal of Han Qian's trip was to prevent the Jinling Rebellion, and Shu State could firmly support the third prince Yang Yuanpu to compete for the throne.

If it is only to divide the relationship between the Lord of Shu and the Marquis of Qingjiang, it will not be able to achieve this goal.

"This is the topography and power distribution map of the 376 villages of the Qianjiang River in Banan,"

Han Qian took a finely depicted map from Xi Ren's hand and handed it to the Marquis of Changxiang before he continued,

"At this time, the first goal we want to achieve is to strive for both sides to reduce the garrisons in Kipzhou and Jingzhou. As far as my Da Chu is concerned, the northward movement of the Jingzhou garrison can strengthen the defense against the Liang army on the northern front, and for the third prince, there is a big chaos in Jinling, even if Zhang Ji does not support it, it cannot let him stay in Jingzhou to become an obstacle and threat! Of course, we also hope that the main force of Shu's Zuo Zhenjiang Army can withdraw from Kip Prefecture and be used for the conquest of the Wu officials in the Banan region, so as to ensure that Shu will not breed any unnecessary ambitions in the event of civil strife in Great Chu. And if this matter is led by Changxianghou, we can be more assured! ”

At present, Hunan Bazhou can be said to be the base camp of the three princes Yang Yuanpu, if there is a big chaos in Jinling, the three princes want to worry about the main force of the dragon and bird army to the east to enter the king of Qin, naturally to ensure that Jingzhou and Kipzhou, which are close at hand, have no elite soldiers and horses from other military forces to covet one side.

It's just that Changxiang Hou and Jing Qiongwen can't doubt the reason for what Han Qian said, but looking at their looks, they may not believe it completely.
