Chapter Seventy-Five: Gongsun Li
Fan Li said modestly: "General Gongsun has a good reputation, and this victory is due to the credit of the king and the whole army, and Fan does not dare to take credit." ”
Gongsun Li squinted at a pair of drunken eyes, and sneered: "General Fan is really good at talking, no wonder he can rise to the top, but it's a pity that Wu Xiang couldn't come forward today to see how his former disciples climbed up step by step." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, the lively scene just now suddenly cooled down, everyone knew that Fucha hated Wu Zixu, but Gongsun Li still hit the muzzle of the gun, which was simply asking for his own death.
The hundred officials quietly glanced at the husband, and saw that the latter's face was gloomy, and there was a tendency for a storm to come, and those officials who were inseparable from Gongsun were all smiling secretly in their hearts, waiting to see a good show.
Fanlou was also there, and when he saw Gongsun Li making trouble with Fan Li in front of so many people, his brows furrowed slightly, and he wanted to go over to play a round, but he was stopped by Bo Yao just when he got up.
"Dazai?" In Fanlou's surprised gaze, Bo Yao said casually: "This is a grudge between them, what are you going to do with it?" Sit down, drink a few more glasses with me, and go on an expedition, but I haven't drunk such a mellow wine for a long time. ”
"Yes." Fanlou didn't dare to brush his mind, so he had to sit down again, talking to Bo Yao without a match, and glancing at Fan Li from time to time out of the corner of his eye.
At that time, in the face of Gongsun Li's words full of ** flavor, Fan Li smiled slightly, and said without humility or arrogance: "Wu Xiang's kindness, Fan Li is unforgettable." ”
Before Fan Li's voice fell, Gongsun Li picked up again, "Really?" Then why didn't you visit the Prime Minister after you returned to Beijing? ”
"I just returned to Beijing today, and I really didn't have time to visit the Prime Minister in a hurry, isn't it the same for Brother Gongsun?"
Gongsun Li didn't expect him to turn the topic to himself, so he was speechless for a while, and said angrily: "What kind of thing are you, and you dare to compare with me?" ”
In the face of Gongsun Li's sharp and mean words, Fan Li was not angry, and said with a smile: "Brother Gongsun taught me that Fan has only been under Wu Xiang for a short period of one and a half years, where can he be as good as Brother Gongsun has been under Wu Xiang for more than ten years." ”
When the officials heard Fan Li's words, they all laughed secretly, this Gongsun Li, who wanted to embarrass Fan Li, ended up lifting a stone and hitting his own feet.
In the past ten years, Wu Zixu has carefully cultivated and supported Gongsun Li, who was just a pawn at that time, step by step to the position of general; As a result, as soon as Wu Zixu lost power, he turned to the former's sworn enemy for the sake of his future and wealth, and he had no integrity at all.
"You!" Gongsun Li was so angry that his face was red and his ears were red, and the blood all over his body rushed to his brain, coupled with his drunkenness, he actually punched Fan Li.
He was very annoyed by Fan Li, he would not show mercy, his fist was whirring with the wind, if he hit it solidly, the bones would have to be broken.
Dongyun was next to Fan Li, and when he saw Gongsun Li being drunk and bullying, he quickly picked up the blue and white porcelain bowl on the side and buckled it on Gongsun Li's big fist with a sand bowl, and stopped castration.
Gongsun Li's punch missed, and he said angrily: "Where is the barbarian woman, get out!" ”
The cold light under Dong Yun's eyes flickered, and as soon as his five fingers were retracted, the porcelain bowl that had been cracked because he had suffered too much power immediately cracked, and countless sharp broken porcelain pieces were embedded in Gongsun Li's fist before he had time to retract under Dong Yun's force.
"Ahh Gongsun Li wailed, and quickly withdrew his fist full of blood, only to see that there were more than a dozen broken porcelain pieces of various sizes embedded on it, and several of them were almost completely submerged into the flesh.
Dongyun was injured as badly as he was, blood dripping from her palm, but she stood upright as if nothing happened, without even blinking her eyes.
"Mad woman!" Gongsun Li suffered losses one after another, and was so angry that he was almost crazy, and he was about to teach Dongyun a lesson, when there was a cold shout from his ears, "Stop!" ”
What happened just now made Gongsun wake up from the wine for more than half of the time, and he didn't dare to disobey his husband's order, so he took it back stupidly, but he was still unwilling, and said to his husband: "This woman is bold in committing murder in front of the king, and she will be severely punished!" ”
When he spoke, Yiguang had already come to Dongyun's side, and when he saw that her hands were covered with blood, he said distressedly: "Why is my sister so careless?" ”
Dong Yun said nonchalantly: "I'm fine." ”
"It's all hurt like this, and I said it's okay." Yiguang said angrily, and said to Arnold, "Go and bring my box." ”
Taking advantage of Arnold's efforts to get the box, Yiguang carefully took out the broken porcelain pieces that had been stuck in Dongyun's palm, and a few of them were too deep to take out.
Gongsun Li waited for a long time and didn't see anyone pay attention to him, and when he saw others laughing secretly, he suddenly felt that his face was dull, and he immediately stretched out his other hand and grabbed Dongyun.
Yiguang's face was cold, his footsteps moved, blocking in front of Dongyun, and at the same time, he raised his hand to stroke the bun, and the gilt filigree and pearl bun was already in his hand, and before everyone could see it, it had pierced into the acupoint of Gongsun Li's wrist.
It's also strange to say, her stab this time was not heavy, at most it was just a flesh injury, but it suddenly made Gongsun Li's arm lose strength, and hung down softly, no matter how Gongsun Li made his neck, he couldn't move a bit, as if it was broken.
Gongsun Li was shocked, this was even more terrifying than Dongyun's moment just now, and his eyes were full of horror when he looked at Yiguang, "What did you do to me?" ”
Yiguang wiped away the blood on the hairpin, and said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just that you have sealed the Sanli acupoint of your hand, so that you don't have to commit murder and hurt people here!" ”
Gongsun Li said unconvinced: "It was she who hurt me first!" ”
"If you didn't intend to hurt Mr. Fan, how could Dongyun hurt you?!"
Gongsun Li snorted coldly: "Fan Li betrayed the lord to seek glory first, and after slandering me with evil words, he was already cheaper to be punched by me." ”
"Presumptuous!" Yi Guangdai frowned, and scolded: "When did Fan Li turn his back on the king, or did he say...... In the eyes of your General Gongsun, Wu Xiang is the master of Wu State?! ”
Hearing this, Gongsun Li suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he was happy for a while, but he committed a big taboo, especially in front of his husband. Sure enough, Fucha's face turned pale, like an impending storm!
Gongsun Li's legs weakened, knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "The last general doesn't mean this, the king must not listen to this nonsense of the Yue Nu of unknown origin, she is clear...... It is clearly a deliberate attempt to provoke the last general and the king, and I don't know what evil intentions are stored. He only returned to Beijing today, and he didn't know that Yiguang was about to be canonized as the queen, so he poured dirty water on Yiguang.
Fucha looked at him coldly, that gaze was like looking at a dead man, the huge coercion and fear made Gongsun Li sweat, completely drunk, his lips trembled and wanted to speak, but he couldn't make any sound.
"Gongsun." The husband suddenly spoke, and the latter hurriedly kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "The last will be." ”
"As far as you can see, what should this Yue girl do?" Fu Cha Muran asked.
Gongsun was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was relieved, it seems that the king also saw that this Yue girl was suspicious, and hurriedly said: "Back to the king's words, since you know that this woman is not good-minded, there is a danger of confusing the lord, so you can't tolerate it, and you should be like Dongyun, and punish it severely." He pondered for a moment, and then said, "The last general thinks that he can drag down the rod and punish him for thirty years, and then demote him to the quarry and leave him to fend for himself."
According to Gongsun Li's thoughts, it was naturally more relieving to kill the two directly, but he was afraid that his husband would think that he was too cruel, so he "mercifully" left them alive temporarily.
The work in the quarry is so heavy that the average sturdy man can't bear it, let alone two women, as long as they go in, they will die of exhaustion in a few days.
"Good! Good! The husband clapped his hands and said good, and a smile bloomed on his thin lips, as if he really agreed.
Such a smile and words made Gongsun centrifuge and shout "King Yingming".
"Someone!" The husband summoned two guards and said in a cold voice: "You all heard what you said just now, take him down." With these words, the husband raised his hand and pointed at it, and the person he was referring to was Gongsun Li.
Facing the finger pointing at him, Gongsun Li was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The king pointed wrong, not the last general." ”
"This king is referring to you!" The husband sat reclining on the throne, supporting his hands with his hands, and the smile on his lips was still there.
Seeing that her husband was almost a joke, Gongsun Li's heart beat wildly uncontrollably, and he forced a smile: "How can it be the last general?" ”
"This king has decreed that Yiguang will be crowned queen, and the marriage will be completed next month, if you are disrespectful to her, you will be disrespectful to this king, you say, should you be punished?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Li was struck by lightning, and the whole person froze there, and he ...... What did he hear just now, that Yiguang is the future queen? How is this possible?
Fake, it must be fake!
Gongsun Li looked up at the crowd, trying to find a hint of doubt or surprise on their faces, but he was disappointed, and the faces of those people were all mocking and sneering, that is...... This thing is true, and they have known it for a long time, but they have never said anything to stop it, they are all waiting to watch the play, even Bo Ya...... It's the same.
It turned out that Bo Yao had never thought of recruiting him, and what he said in the barracks before was just to trick him into selling his life, what a treacherous villain!
Other words...... Now no one will help him.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Li's body trembled violently, like a withered leaf trembling in the autumn wind, and he wanted to slap himself.
When he came back to his senses, Gongsun kowtowed to his husband like pounding garlic, but no matter how he pleaded, his husband ignored it.
Gongsun couldn't give up, and kowtowed to Yiguang, who was bandaging Dongyun's wounds, and begged, "The girl has always been merciful, and I beg the girl to help the last general to tell the king, Rao Mo will have a life, and the last general will definitely remember the girl's kindness, and pray for the girl every day." ”
Dong Yun said disdainfully: "Didn't you scold quite happily just now, why did you wagging your tail like a dog and begging for mercy in a blink of an eye, it's really spineless." ”
Gongsun Li was reprimanded by her, his face was blue and white for a while, and he would never give up if he wanted to change his weekdays, but now he pointed to Yiguang for help, so he could only swallow this breath alive and said in a lamented voice: "Miss Dongyun is right, I am a dog, there is no need for the two of you to be angry with a dog!" As he spoke, he pleaded bitterly with Yiguang again, "Girl, you are merciful, you should be ......" His eyes rolled quickly, and Tian said shamelessly: "Just let the last general be a dog, let the last general go." ”
For Gongsun Li, there is nothing more important than saving his life, only by keeping his life can he have a chance to deal with the few people in front of him, Fan Li, Yiguang, Dongyun and even Bo Yao, he will not let any of them go!
Gongsun Li thought that she would hide her hatred well, but she didn't know that she was all looked at by Yiguang, and she said calmly: "If you just offend me, it's nothing, as you said, I'm just an insignificant Yue girl, life and death don't matter, let alone a few abusive words." But you shouldn't have no reverence for the king, and you shouldn't think that Wu Guo's ability to have today is all due to Wu Zixu's contributions; Seeing that Mr. Fan was fighting on the battlefield for the king, he was resentful, made sarcastic remarks, and even beat people in front of the king. Speaking of the back, Yiguang's tone became heavier, and he reprimanded Gongsun as if his face was dead, "Let me ask you, where do you place the king?" ”
Gongsun Li said eagerly: "The king is wise and martial in the heart of the last general, just like a god, and never dares to be disrespectful, sincere or fearless. ”
Dong Yun coldly spit out four words, "Duplicity!" ”
The husband's long eyebrows were raised lightly, his rectangular eyes were shining, and he said with a smile: "This king has changed his mind now." ”
Just when Gongsun Li thought that he could pick up a life, a cold and wet voice sounded in his ears, "Gongsun Li is disrespectful to this king and queen, and his sin is unforgivable, so he will be beheaded immediately!" ”
Gongsun Li was shocked, shouted loudly, and saw that his husband was almost unmoved, so he climbed under the throne of Fucha with his hands and feet, and said eagerly: "Over the years, the last general has been loyal to the king; There is also the battle of Ailing, the last general has made meritorious contributions, and just after returning triumphantly, the king will kill the heroes, which will definitely damage the reputation of the king! ”
Fucha grinned, revealing his cold and snow-white teeth, he looked down at Gongsun Li condescendingly, and said word by word: "In the battle of Ailing, how many soldiers and soldiers you have lost, you know in your heart; As for the credit...... Hehe, that's even more ridiculous, you think you burned the grain and grass of the Qi army, but as a result, it is the other party's trap at all, if Fan Li returns in time, do you still have the life to stand here and talk about it? This king hasn't asked you about your sins, but you are the wicked person who sued first and blamed Fan Li, just by this point, you will die unjustly! ”
"But......" Gongsun Li still wanted to defend himself, and the husband said suddenly: "Do you think this king is like the monarch in the past?" ”
Gongsun Li perked up, and quickly thought about it, but it really reminded him of a famous monarch in the history books, and hurriedly said: "The king is like that Duke of Qi Huan." ”
"How so?"
"The king is humble and vain, appoints the virtuous, respects the good as the teacher, and will bow down to everything, isn't it exactly the same as that Qi Henggong." Saying that, Gongsun Li said flatteringly: "I believe that in a few years, the king will be able to become a generation of overlords like Qi Henggong." ”
"I don't see you're still so eloquent, yes." Fucha smiled and said, "Then take a look, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, who is the 'Guan Qing' of this king?" ”
The "Guan Qing" in the mouth of the husband is the courtier Guan Zhong when Qi Henggong was in power, the latter is the queen, assisting Qi Henggong to implement reforms, implementing the integration of military and government, and the integration of soldiers and people, so that Qi gradually became stronger and became the overlord of the world.
"Of course it'......" Gongsun Li's gaze quickly swept across the face of the hundred officials, and finally landed on the face of a person he hated, "Dazai-sama." ”
As early as when he heard the husband ask about the person who was compared to "Guan Zhong", Bo Yao felt that he belonged to him, and when he heard Gongsun Li's answer, he was even more proud. Yes, Wu Zixu has lost power, and there is anyone more like Guan Zhong than him in the Manchu Dynasty.
"Wrong." In the surprised eyes of everyone, Fu Cha got up and walked in front of Fan Li, and cordially held his hand, "Young Uncle is the king's Guan Qing!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Bo Yao's face suddenly rose like a pig's liver, the king was not crazy, and compared Fan Li to Guan Zhong, so what about him, what is he?
