Lou Ji suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the daughter of the King of Jibei, Zhang Shiqing was forced to marry him, a "boring person", the feeling may be somewhat similar to that of Wu Guogong back then, but he was not a general, he never thought of forcibly taking someone, if there was a choice, he would happily refuse the marriage.

But the marriage is still approaching step by step, and unconsciously, the building has become busy, and the servants in the new house have begun to admit that the seventeenth prince is their real master, and all big and small things are reported, and the original old servants are happy to be leisurely, and they sigh every time: "How many years, I thought I would have no chance to enjoy happiness in this life." ”

The number of visitors is increasing day by day, and most of them are just nodding their heads, but now they are like long-time friends, and the gifts they send are so expensive that they don't know if they can afford them in the future.

Zhou Lu came to the door to celebrate, and brought a group of classmates from the Temptation School Garden, these people were deeper than nodding friends, and the building was greeted at the gate, leaving them to drink.

Everyone knows that Lou Ji and Ma Wei have a deep friendship, and a classmate explained in advance: "We have been to Mafu, and Ma Hou said that he was going to entertain a relative from afar today, and he couldn't get out, so he came alone to send congratulatory gifts. ”

Zhou Lu commanded everyone's entourage to carry gifts to the hall, as if he was Lou Ji's best friend, and when he heard the words, he turned his head and said: "It's not a relative, Ma Wei is sighing to himself, he has always been proud, thinking that he was better than our background, but the person who married the county lord was Lou Gongzi, and his own wife is said to be the daughter of a wealthy businessman, can you not feel awkward?" ”

In Zhou Lu's eyes, status and power mean everything, and it is more important than money.

Lou Ji was about to defend his friend for a few words, but found that everyone else nodded in agreement with Zhou Lu, so he obediently shut up, invited everyone into the hall, and ordered the servants to set up a banquet.

More than a dozen classmates are very knowledgeable, and they will say goodbye one after another after drinking, and they want to have a good drink on the day of marriage, only Zhou Lu does not leave, he got drunk early, and he chattered endlessly, talking about the past, according to his understanding, it can be said that he did not fight and did not know each other, and he led people to bully Lou Ji is the beginning of the friendship between the two.

Everyone else left, and the downstairs ordered the guests: "Brother Zhou is drunk, go home and rest." ”

Zhou Lu shook his head and pressed the mouth of the cup, "If you don't drink it, you really can't drink it anymore." ”

"I said Brother Zhou, go home and rest."

"Bring me a cup of tea, and I'll have a few more pots with you later."

Lou Ji had to order someone to serve tea, and at the same time called two of Zhou Lu's entourages in, so as to help the master go out.

Zhou Lu was set up and left the table, unconsciously, thinking that he was dizzy, he looked left and right blankly, and said loudly: "I was deceived, we were all deceived!" Tian Jiang, this kid is ungrateful, I heard that the two of us helped him, not only was he not grateful, but he pushed me out of the house, and almost beat me......"

Zhou Lu cried and was taken away, and even his entourage felt ashamed, how fast and how fast he could run.

Tian Jiang was not in Lou Ji's plan, it was purely because he heard that this person was filial to his mother, so he wanted to help, so he didn't care about the other party's gratitude, and he didn't even want to see this person.

In the evening of the same day, Ma Wei came to visit and brought gifts and Guo Shifeng.

After the assassin was caught, Guo Shifeng ran so fast that he didn't even say hello, and when he reappeared, he was still full of spring breeze, as if nothing had happened.

"Brother Guo, I haven't seen you for a long time." Lou Ji was surprised in his heart, and his face was also full of smiles.

"Homeless and unemployed, drifting in the wind, trailing all over the world, I heard that my brother is married, and I have to come back no matter how far I go."

Lou Ji invited the two into the study and entertained them with tea.

As soon as the servant left, Guo Shifeng smiled and said, "Brother Ji doesn't need to ask, I have my own explanation." ”

Lou Ji glanced at Ma Wei and didn't speak.

"When the news of the assassination failed, I felt that something was wrong, the emperor was obviously used to the third place, why did he change his position that night? So I guess the emperor cheated me, and although I didn't understand the reason at the time, I had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise, I would be the next person to be arrested. ”

"Didn't you want to tell us?" Ma Wei questioned the foundation of the building.

Guo Shifeng smiled and said: "It's not a secret, I met Brother Ma in my early years, and I didn't have too many contacts. After the incident, the first person I suspected was Huangfu Rank, and I couldn't help but have doubts about Brother Ma and Brother Ma. ”

Lou Ji smiled and said: "I understand, in Brother Guo's position at that time, I won't trust anyone." ”

The three of them laughed at the same time and threw hands to each other, which was considered to be as good as ever, and they all knew in their hearts that although they were "as before", this friendship was difficult to deepen.

"Don't ask about the past, you can expect it." Ma Wei stretched out his hand to hold Guo and Lou's wrists respectively, "The big thing is not finished, and we still need to continue to work hard." ”

Lou Ji asked, "Brother Guo came with King Guangling?" ”

Guo Shifeng nodded, "King Guangling didn't want to come, I also advised His Royal Highness to wait and see for the time being, if there is a great change in the imperial court, Jiangdong can still gain a foothold, but as soon as the prince goes, King Guangling changes his mind." ”

Guo Shifeng looked at the foundation of the building and showed a strange smile, "'The flood is monstrous, and the Tao no longer exists', has the foundation brother heard this sentence?" ”

Lou Ji nodded calmly, "I asked Duan Shizi to bring it to King Guangling." ”

"Sure enough, not only King Guangling understands the meaning of this sentence, but the prince and His Majesty also understand."

Lou Ji's eyebrows raised slightly.

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "Brother don't worry, you have too little contact with people like Shizi, when you meet for the first time, everyone thinks that Shizi is a young man with extraordinary ambitions, and after a long period of contact, you will know that he is just an ordinary teenager, he doesn't have many opinions, whoever is good to him, he will rely on whoever he is loyal to." ”

Zhang Shiduan naturally thought that the emperor was the best for him.

"I don't expect Duan Shizi to keep it secret, just bring the word to King Guangling."

Guo Shifeng sighed lightly, "This sentence is really important, neither King Guangling nor I expected that Hong Daohui would abandon his wife and confess so quickly." ”

Guo Shifeng and Ma Wei are both people who "abandon their wives and ignore them", Lou Ji held back the ridicule in his heart, laughed and said nothing.

"Brother Jie may not have thought that the emperor had already brought the prince to see Hong Daohui." Guo Shifeng said again.

Lou Ji really didn't expect it, shook his head slightly, and admitted it.

"In front of the prince, Hong Daohui only gave the names of Brother Ma and Brother Ma, and did not mention me or King Guangling."

Ma Wei had already heard what Guo Shifeng had said, his expression was indifferent, but Lou Ji was taken aback, immediately stood up, and then sat down, "It turns out that Hong Daohui not only confesses, but also serves His Majesty." ”

It is obvious that Hong Daohui summoned the name of Lou Ji in order to connect the assassin with the general, and did not mention the king of Guangling, but to consolidate Zhang Shiduan's loyalty.

Guo Shifeng said: "The three of us have the same idea, but the prince insists that the assassin is the general's mastermind, and His Majesty recruited King Guangling back to Beijing to deal with the Lou family." ”

"What about King Guangling?" The floor asked.

Guo Shifeng smiled bitterly, "King Guangling thought that Hong Daohui was still loyal to him, so he didn't mention the name of the old master, and thought that His Majesty was still in the dark, so he decided to return to Beijing and take the opportunity of eradicating the Lou family to grasp the power of the court and China, and then seize the throne." ”

Lou Ji was silent for a while, "Your Majesty makes every family believe that their own family is the most trusted. ”

"Only the three of us know what's going on." Ma Wei opened his mouth, glanced at the foundation of the building, and glanced at Guo Shifeng, "It's a pity that people are soft-spoken, Brother Guo dissuades King Guangling, and Brother Guo says that he can't move the general." ”

"Shen Tan persuaded his father to stay in Bingzhou."

"Shen Wugongzi?" Ma Wei knew a lot of people, and as soon as he heard the name, he knew who it was, and then he became alert, "Brother confessed to him?" ”

Lou Ji shook his head, "No, the Shen family's father and son have their own ideas." ”

Ma Wei was relieved, "The emperor has no way, the court is centrifuged, this is a once-in-a-lifetime time, and the husband can work hard to turn things around." ”

Guo Shifeng said: "I heard about Brother Basic's plan, this is God handing over the faint monarch to us, and there will definitely be no more mistakes." ”

"Assassins are hard to find." The building foundation is not at ease.

Guo Shifeng didn't speak, Ma Wei said: "Brother Basic, don't worry, I have found ten people, and I haven't told them the truth yet, in a few days, I can determine who is available and who is not." ”

Guo Shifeng said: "It is the most dangerous time at this time, don't leak the slightest rumor, the emperor already knows the truth, and he will not be unguarded against us." ”

Ma Wei sneered: "I checked carefully, and there is no one around. In the eyes of the emperor, there are only the generals and the king of Guangling, who disdain us, thinking that they are three minions who have been used by others, and they are insignificant. After cleaning up the above, it is easy to clean up us again. This is the emperor's mistake, and it is also our opportunity. ”

Lou Ji agreed with Ma Wei's guess, "There is another important question: after the matter is completed, do we still want to promote the king of Guangling?" ”

In the original plan, after the assassination of the emperor, the king of Guangling raised troops in Jiangdong and entered Beijing to seize the throne.

The two on the opposite side glanced at each other, and Guo Shifeng said: "The so-called Ming Jun chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose the king, not that I am disloyal, it is really the King of Guangling who made a wrong step, and every step in the future will be wrong." He has no soldiers and no power in the capital, and he has to rely on the support of the emperor, once the emperor is driven, the king of Guangling is established as a rootless Ping, and then wants to return to Jiangdong, I am afraid that it will be difficult, as for the seizure of the throne, it is impossible. ”

Guo Shifeng's face became fast, and he said: "The world is not a one-person world, as long as it is beneficial to the people, anyone can fulfill the supreme position. ”

Ma Wei also said: "The general is in charge of 100,000 troops, stationed outside the city, the people's prestige, morale, and strength are all attributed to the general alone, once the matter is raised, the eastern capital can be determined on the same day, and the whole territory of Luozhou can be leveled in the future, and then the west is connected with Qin, and, the east is Hebei, Huai, and Wu, Jing, Yi, and Han are four places, and within a few months, Kyushu will be returned to Knowle. ”

Lou Ji had already guessed that the two of them would say these words, and pondered for a moment, "The general has always boasted of loyalty and filial piety, and he may not be willing to do something rebellious. ”

Guo Shifeng said: "So it depends on how the younger brother persuades." ”

Ma Wei said: "The general is loyal, the first emperor is only, the first emperor has been gone for more than ten years, when today's son is stubborn and self-serving, suspicious of the minister, and trying his best to sow discord, the Lou family is in danger, and the general is still indifferent?" ”

"How can you convince the general that 'the danger is at stake'?"

Guo Shifeng arched his hand and said: "Guo Mou did not say goodbye before, he was ashamed, and he was willing to go to see the general with his brother, and explain the plan between the emperor and the king of Guangling, so that the general would have been prepared." ”

Lou Ji felt that this was the real gift.
