In Kyoto, the capital of the Great Xuan Kingdom, the night is getting thicker, and it is the time when the lights are on. There are red lanterns hanging in front of every house, and they are all swaying in the wind when the wind blows. Except for the place of fireworks and willow alleys, the streets and alleys are quiet, except for the sound of the husband and shouting from time to time.

"It's dry, beware of the candle ,......。"

In the Xiaoyao Palace, which is close to the palace, at this time, there is a group of singing and dancing, and the sound of silk bamboo bells and drums, mixed with the sound of wine orders, floats out of the palace.

At this time, outside the side door of a remote alley in the palace, a tall and burly person, wrapped in a black robe, with only a pair of eyes exposed, knocked on the side door of the palace.

"Knock knock."

"Who." A voice inside the door asked vigilantly.

"Me." The black-robed man replied in a rugged voice.

"It turned out that King Wuwei had arrived, and the prince had been waiting for a long time, please come inside."

As he spoke, he saw a butler in a green coat and a small hat, with a fat figure and a smile on his face, who opened the side door and welcomed King Wuwei in.

Just in case, before closing the door, he stretched out his head and looked left and right outside the door, and found that no one was following, so he closed the door with confidence and bolted the door.

"You don't even worry about me." The black-robed man said.

"How dare the villain, just for the sake of safety, please don't take King Wuwei to heart."

King Wuwei didn't seem to want to entangle with him at this time, and when he heard the noise coming from the mansion, he asked, "What wine bags and rice bags are your prince entertaining?" Who are they? ”

"You still ask my prince in person, right? I think my prince will definitely give King Wuwei a satisfactory answer. The housekeeper had a smile on his face, dealing with King Wuwei, without revealing anything about it.

"Wang Cai, your tone is really tight, you know what to say and what not to say, this is what I admire you the most, are you interested in being a housekeeper in my house, and your salary will be doubled."

"The villain first thanked King Wuwei for his love, but my prince treats the little one very well, and the villain can't do that unkind and unrighteous thing. If one day my prince feels that the villain is not well treated, and the villain is not needed, he will hope that King Wuwei will take him in. ”

Wang Cai neither agreed nor refused, and left the back road well, and played Tai Chi with one hand.

"Just kidding, don't care. A faithful housekeeper like you is hard to find in the world, how can your prince be willing to let you go? King Wuwei said with his eyes narrowed.

Wang Cai was glad in his heart, Lao Huli, fortunately Lao Tzu was not fooled. Immediately decided to do the right thing first, not to entangle with this old fox, I am afraid that I will not be able to prevent it, in case I get on the road, it will not be good.

"Then I'll take King Wuwei to the study first, and then inform my prince to go to the study to find you."

"No need, I'll go by myself, you go and inform your prince!"

After saying that, King Wuwei walked alone along the path of this garden to the study, and he was familiar with the road, and he should have been there countless times.

Wang Cai nodded, and when King Wuwei left his sight, he hurried to the Xiaoyao Palace.

On the main seat of the Xiaoyao Palace, there is a middle-aged man sitting at this time, wearing a python robe, a jade belt around his waist, sword eyebrows, small eyes, and a full beard, but he is well repaired, and there is a momentum that is not angry and mighty, but he smiles like a flower all day long, calling friends and friends, and reveling in the color of silk and bamboo wine.

There is a flat card on the cantilever beam above the head of the main seat, and the book "happy and happy" four big characters, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, in one go, it should be the handwriting of the famous master of the dynasty.

Wang Cai walked in from the main entrance, and saw that the singing and dancing in the middle of the hall had stopped, and the officials sitting on both sides had also stopped the noisy games such as the drinking order, and were all engrossed in listening to an old man with a strange appearance and an elegant posture, talking about the achievements of stargazing in recent years and the influence of the stars on the fortune of the country.

Seeing that the officials could listen attentively, Wang Cai was not easy to disturb, so he lightly walked from the root of the wall and along the edge of the hall to the side of King Xiaoyao, and whispered a few words to King Xiaoyao.

"Wang Cai, you stay here to greet your lords, and I'll come when I go." The King of Joy arranged softly.

Then he also left lightly like Wang Cai, for fear of disturbing the Yaxing of the officials. The sharp-eyed official found that the King of Freedom was leaving, and hurriedly got up and wanted to say something, but he stretched out his hand to stop him.

In the study, a burly man in black was engrossed in looking at an ancient painting, and the whole person stood stiffly in place motionless, as if he was wandering out of the world.

"Yes, god."

"If Uncle Wang likes it, just take it, and when he leaves, I'll wrap it up for Uncle Wang."

The King of Freedom had just pushed the door into the house at this time, and he was bold when he heard it

Road.

"There aren't many real works of Wu Daozi left, it should have cost a lot of silver, right? A gentleman doesn't win people's love, so the virtuous nephew should keep it for himself to appreciate! ”

After King Wuwei finished speaking, he stopped looking at the painting and turned his face to face the King of Ease.

is obviously a master in this, and he has come to retreat as an advance. Of course, King Xiaoyao is also a master in this, how can he be confused by a lie, so he said: "Actually, my nephew doesn't know anything about this

, It's just that you're kind to people, and when you see people who say it's good, you like to buy blindly. As the so-called treasure knife with hero, this painting hangs in my place, it is really a pearl covered with dust, it is better to hang it on Uncle Wang's mansion, it is good to meet a bosom friend, and it is not a good work to bury it. ”

King Wuwei originally wanted to capture the old man, but at this time, when King Xiaoyao insisted, he no longer shirked.

Seeing the sincere heart of the virtuous nephew, the king smiled and accepted it. I heard Wang Cai say that you are inviting those wall grasses to a banquet again? ”

"That's true."

The King replied.

"This king can't get used to those people, he can't be relied on at critical times, he is a good hand at eating and drinking, which rice buckets did he entertain this time?"

King Wuwei was so indignant that he looked down on those people from the bottom of his heart.

"Uncle Wang is right, I don't have a good impression of these people, but I will still need them to govern the country in the future.

The people who came were Zhou Quan, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Qian Liang of the Ministry of Households, Li Xian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xia Shiyuan, the Lang of the Ministry of War, Li Jinxiong, the Lang Chen Gang of the Criminal Department, Tian Gong of the Ministry of Works, Yue Shan, and Li Dongliang of Langzhong of the Ministry of Works. There is also an uninvited one, Qin Tianjian Yuan Tianji, who heard that Xia Shiyuan invited him. ”

"Sure enough, it's a bunch of useless rice buckets, but the old man Yuan Tianji is very interesting. It is rumored that he can know the past and the future, but I wonder what he is talking nonsense this time? King Wuwei asked with some curiosity.

He said that there was a sudden descent of the Heavenly Evil Star in the south, which was a bad omen, guarded by the White Tiger Star in the north, guarded by the Black Tiger Star in the west, and the purple micro star in the center was fading, and there was a hidden dragon faintly looming, wanting to replace it. As long as the southern Tiansha is not moved and forced to return to its position, Daxuan will be impregnable. ”

"What this old man said, I don't think is necessarily true. Although the Southern Yue Kingdom is a vassal to my Daxuan, it has established itself as a king and has never been governed by Daxuan, and has long had the heart of disobedience. There are only about 100,000 soldiers in the whole country, and they are all Wuhe people, if it were not for the danger of the mountains and rivers, they would have been destroyed by my great mystery long ago, what is the danger at all.

My Daxuan's henchmen should be in the northern Turkist country, for hundreds of years, we have never taken advantage of fighting and peace.

The emperor is too weak, he has always valued peace, and he does not want to forge ahead. The crown prince and the emperor have a virtue, I can only hope for you.

When the time comes, our uncle and nephew will join forces to sweep away the Yue Kingdom and the Tutu, dominate the world, and restore the territory and glory of the Daxin Kingdom, which is just around the corner. ”

"This time, my father secretly summoned my uncle to Beijing, I don't know what is important?" The King asked.

"Didn't you spend a lot of money in the land of fireworks a year ago to buy a woman who looked like a real concubine? I also offered it to my brother. The woman's room technique was really good, and the royal brother was fascinated, and he didn't think about tea and dinner, and he couldn't dial it himself.

Since then, the number of visits to the dynasty has decreased, and the body is also deteriorating, and now relying on the support of some imperial doctors and the elixir of the monks, he may feel that his time is running out, so he summoned the king to go to Gugu. Wuwei Wang Yin smiled.

"My father wants the emperor's uncle to support the crown prince."

"Of course."

The two looked at each other and smiled very tacitly

, as if everything was in plain sight.

"How prepared are you, it's not just those rice buckets outside, right?"

"Of course it won't be the only one." A strange smile appeared on the face of the Easy King.

"It won't be a long time to wait, success or failure is here, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, and you must be prepared foolproof."

King Wuwei's tone was firm, but he still looked worried before King Xiaoyao didn't show him his hole cards.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry."

While comforting King Wuwei, King Xiaoyao took down the painting and rolled it up, put it into a special exquisite tube, and handed it to King Wuwei.

"I'll send Uncle Wang out."

"Stay, be careful, I'll just walk by myself."

King Wuwei wrapped his clothes tighter, went out of the study door, and went to the side door of the palace.

The King of Freedom watched the man in black disappear into the night, and in a blink of an eye, he changed his smiling face and went to the Palace of Freedom.
