Night, Guangling, in the post house, the grand banquet continues, the southeast road of the Zhou State is the great Xingtai Shangshu Ling Chi Youqi, here is a banquet to entertain the envoys of the Chen State, the guest of honor pushes the cup and changes the lamp, the people who go to the banquet on both sides talk and laugh very happily, the scene is not lively.

The confrontation between the north and the south has been hundreds of years, and the envoys of various countries who come and go from the south to the north like to chant poems with the officials of the receiving party during the banquet to give a "literary fight", so as to highlight the "Chinese style" of their respective courts, and by the way, reflect the barbarian style of the other party.

Everyone claimed that their imperial court inherited the Huaxia Zhengshuo, the military generals fought bloody battles on the battlefield, and the civil officials in the hall were at loggerheads, whether it was the envoys of the envoys or the officials of the receiving party, the literary skills were all first-class in their respective countries.

In the past, Chen Guojiang sent an envoy to the Qi State, and the Qi State sent the prison Fang Yanxun to receive the "battle" by the way, Jiang Zong's literary talent was outstanding, and Fang Yanxun, who was born in the Qinghe Fang family, was also outstanding in literary talent.

More than ten years have passed, Mr. Jiang is now ranked as Chen Guotai's assistant, and he is too old to be an envoy, and Fang Yanxun died young, and his younger brother Fang Yanqian is now far away in Xiyang, Huangzhou, Shannan.

But this is nothing, Wei Chi Youqi has the same surname Fang Gongyi present, as the prime minister's chief secretary Fang Gongyi is also outstanding, he is a negotiator on the Zhou side, and several visits to the envoys of the Chen State, except for official business, the two sides are considered to be friends in writing.

Fang Gongyi was originally a native of Qi, after the Zhou State destroyed Qi, although he had a talent but was not appointed by the Zhou State, and later the Duke of Shu and the Xiangzhou Governor Wei Chi Hui rose up in Yecheng, and many old Qi officials in Shandong (east of Taihang Mountain) responded to the expedition of Wei Chi and became the master of his son Wei Chi Dan.

Wei Chidun is now the prime minister of Zhou State, Fang Gongyi naturally rises to the top, and the prime minister asked him to preside over the negotiation with Chen to delay time, just to use this to talk about the world, and Chen Guo envoy (main envoy) Fu Xuanxu and wronged snakes.

Fu Wei is also a well-educated person, at the age of seven he can recite more than 100,000 words of poetry, familiar with all kinds of classic books, after entering the office is known for his gorgeous words, he is smart, and he writes chapters without drafting.

Because of his outstanding literary talent, Fu Wei also served as an envoy, in Yecheng, the capital of Qi State, and the northern celebrities talked and laughed with ease, after Chen Shubao ascended the throne, Fu Wei entered the secretary prison, in charge of the edict, very trusted.

It's just that Fu Wei has a stubborn personality and is arrogant, and he unknowingly offended many people, including Chen Shubao's fortunate ministers Shi Wenqing and Shen Keqing, who were gradually alienated by Chen Shubao under the slander of these two.

offended the villain, or the villain, Fu Wei's bad luck did not end, the envoy of Goguryeo in the north came to Jiankang, and Fu Wei was responsible for the reception, but he was slandered by Shen and Shi to ask for bribes from the Goguryeo envoy, which was insulting to the national character.

Others also fell into the ground, Chen Shubao because of partiality and belief, Fu Wei was put in prison, the stubborn Fu Wei pleaded his case, and his rhetoric was quite fierce, Chen Shubao was furious after reading it, but after calming down, he remembered Fu Wei's talent and dismissed him.

Now the situation of Chen State is critical, and he needs a courtier who can speak well and has outstanding literature to send an envoy, Xu Shanxin is responsible for sending an envoy to Shannan (Yuwen's), and he has to accompany Yuwen's envoy in Jiankang.

Fu Wei sent an envoy to Jiangbei, making several round-trips, except for returning the soldiers, officials and their families captured by the Zhou State, there was no further progress, and the Huainan Prefecture and County occupied by the Zhou State still had no hope of success in the matter of "borrowing grain".

Fang Gongyi always avoids these two questions, Fu Wei knows that the other party will not actually make concessions, and can only pretend to be crazy and stupid, he feels that Chen Guo's situation is critical now, and he has a heavy responsibility, so he must strive for some benefits no matter what.

If you don't come back from the lost land, at least you can ask for some grain, and most of the land of Chen has fallen, and now there is only the land of Sanwu in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the war that lasted for more than half a year affected this year's harvest.

Although the land of Sanwu is rich in products, but the annual output of grain has been unable to feed more and more people, if in the past, Chen Guo could mobilize the grain of Upper Ba, Hunan and Jiangzhou into Jiankang to solve the problem of insufficient grain harvest, but this year it will definitely not work.

Xu Shanxin sent an envoy to Shannan and brought back 400,000 pieces of grain to solve Chen Guo's urgent need, but these grains were given priority to the army, and the common people were still hungry.

If he doesn't want to get some grain from Jiangbei to go back, many people in Jiankang City may not be able to survive the first day and see the sun of the new year.

However, even if the amount of "borrowed grain" dropped again and again, Zhou Guo (Wei Chi's) still did not give a clear answer, Fu Wei was a little anxious, but he knew that it was useless to be anxious, so he could only patiently deal with the other party.

At this time, he was talking about Buddhism with Sima Xiao, the left servant of the Daxingtai of the Southeast Road, this is not a nonsense, but Fu Wei does have a study of Buddhism, and Sima Xiaonan is also interested in Buddhism, so he chatted during the banquet.

When Sima was young, he was a famous noble son of the Eastern Wei Dynasty (Qi State), who welcomed guests and had close contacts with Xing Zicai, Wang Yuanjing, Wei Shui, Lu Ang, Cui Zhen and other celebrities.

Whether it is to decorate the façade or to be elegant, over time, Sima Xiaonan is quite close to the literary scholar, and Fu Wei is not only outstanding in literature, but also proficient in Buddhism, so the two hit it off at first sight and talked happily.

Yu Chi Youqi, who was sitting in the main seat, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, Yu Chi Youqi's family is naturally martial, Yu Chi Youqi is skilled in bow horses, he likes hunting on weekdays, and he doesn't like to dance and ink, if he really wants him to chat with Fu Wei, there is really no topic.

If you talk about Buddhism, you can talk about it, but Wei Chi Youqi has something in his heart, and he is not in the mood to talk about Buddhism.

The most common musical instrument in the army is the pipa, Wei Chi Youqi likes to listen to people play music with the pipa, and he also plays a song from time to time, rarely listens to people play the piano, and now the other party proposes to "stroke the piano", he didn't react at once, and Fang Gongyi on the side hurried to save the scene:

"I don't know what track Fu Gong wants to play?"

Fu Wei replied: "Now that I am in Guangling, it is naturally Guanglingsan. ”

"Guangling San" is a famous song, of course Yu Chi Youqi knows, he also knows that Chen Guo's envoys playing the qin is not groveling to please the people, but doing elegant things, just as many people like to play the pipa at the banquet is purely for fun.

However, it was interesting to hear the other party say that he wanted to let the accompanying piano boy play.

Yu Chiyou Qi sneered in his heart: Could it be that this qin boy is Nie Zheng?

"Guangling San" also has a name, that is, "Nie Zheng Assassinates Han Puppet Song", Nie Zheng is a famous assassin in the Warring States Period, who assassinated the Korean Prime Minister alone.

Wei Chi Youqi set up a banquet to entertain the envoys of Chen Guo, and Fang Gongyi advised him to pay attention to the possible assassins in the other party's entourage, and among the people who went to the banquet at the beginning were all literary scholars, which was confirmed by Fang Gongyi.

Therefore, Wei Chi Youqi didn't think that these crepe scribes could make an assassination move, and now Fu Xuan took the initiative to let the piano boy play the piano to help the fun, the motive is intriguing, maybe it is really to help the fun, or it may be to assassinate.

Wei Chi Youqi would not be intimidated by the mere assassins, so he agreed to Fu Wei's request with a calm face and secretly prepared.

He calculated very clearly, if the other party really sent assassins to assassinate, then he would have an excuse to attack the south immediately, and attack Jiankang in one go to destroy Chen Guo, saving him a lot of time and wasting time with the other party.

The envoy actually assassinated, not to mention the sincerity at all, this move was simply the anger of people and gods, with such an excuse, Wei Chi Youqi felt that even if he attacked Jiankang on his own initiative, Wei Chi Youqi would not be able to attack.

He looked at the door expectantly, watching the assassin disguised as a piano boy enter, but before he could see the piano boy appear, he saw through the main entrance a panicked soldier in the courtyard outside.

The faces of the soldiers, and the courtyard wall behind them, were illuminated by the firelight.
