(Thanks to readers for the red tip of "Hello, Ansheng".) Ask for collection, ask for recommendation)
Qinzhou quelling the rebellion is the top priority of the Tiancheng Dynasty at the moment, the general gathered many noble children, after the news of the siege of the rebels, immediately caused a sensation in the city, and then, every hour there is new news to the imperial court, the streets and alleys are even more rumors, after nightfall is over.
In Luoyang City, many people stayed awake all night.
The emperor's energy is too ordinary, he deals with government affairs during the day, and he does not rest at night, and often does not sleep until the second half of the night.
After the second watch, the emperor finally relaxed and decided to go out of the palace to have fun.
"Tonight, we are all ordinary soldiers, and I am no exception." The emperor was in high spirits, and the whole person was ready to rise, if it wasn't for the heavy boots, it seemed that he could soar into the sky at any time, "Tomorrow will go on the expedition, tonight, regardless of the monarch and ministers, everyone will drink and have fun together, but tomorrow, everyone will fight bravely to kill the enemy, those who take half a step back, behead, those who show cowardice and disturb the hearts of our army, flogging, after the war, those who are not stained with blood, and those who do not kill the enemy with their hands will be degraded." ”
Dozens of attendants, almost every family had relatives who followed the general's expedition to the west, and at this time, like the emperor, they shouted excitedly and issued all kinds of strange oaths.
Coupled with the guards, more than 200 horsemen galloped through the streets and alleys of Luoyang, this time without Taifu Liang blocking the way and kneeling, they could use the entire Luoyang City as a racecourse, and the courtyards of all sizes were just wooden stakes that needed to be avoided.
The emperor did not immediately go to the palace of the generals of the Chinese army, but rushed to a high hill, pointed to the lights outside the city and said: "That is the army that is about to go on the expedition, everyone, make contributions at this time, except for the first emperor in the founding years, the Tiancheng Dynasty will never have such an opportunity." ”
There are three major ministers around the emperor, the emperor's rank is in Qinzhou, Lou is hard at home to prepare to meet the holy driver, Shao Junqian never participates in horseback riding at night, no one is present at the moment, Zhang Shiyu, the prince of Jibei, urged the horse to step forward and said: "In three or five years, Your Majesty will be able to re-pacify the universe and create peace for all generations, and the opportunities for courtiers to make contributions in the future are really fewer and fewer." ”
Zhang Shiyu was young after all, and the flattery he said was unsatisfactory, the emperor smiled and hummed, not too picky, looking at the lights outside the city, occasionally sighing, thousands of hills and valleys in his chest, turning his head to look, but he couldn't find anyone to speak.
"The foundation of the building." The emperor directly named him, this is not the person he likes and admires the most, but he is the only one who can call a spade a spade.
The building base urged him to step forward.
Zhang Shiyu stepped back, and when he passed by Lou Ji, he nodded with a smile, he didn't know that Lou Ji had become a prisoner.
"The elite division of Tiancheng is all here, do you think the general still has a chance to make a comeback?"
Before dark, news came that although the general was ambushed, the whole army was not annihilated, and the retreat route was cut off, so he led part of the remnants of the army to Xijing to protect himself and wait for reinforcements from the imperial court.
Lou Ji replied: "Your Majesty mobilized the people, just to kill the heroes, although the victory is still defeated. ”
"Well, you're right, I can't let the world say that the emperor is ungrateful, so I must first turn the hero into a traitor. Tomorrow, the royal driver will go on a personal expedition to rescue the general, and after arriving at Tongguan, there will be 'loyal ministers' who will reveal your true face to me, and the conspiracy of the Lou family to assassinate and seize Qinzhou will be revealed to the world. When the time comes, it will not be the heroes who I will kill, but the traitors with ill intentions. ”
The Emperor smiled, apparently thinking the idea was a brilliant one.
"Before he died, he could still play some roles, and Weichen was satisfied."
"Haha, don't be too sad, even if I don't have you, I will find an assassin from the Lou family, such as a hard fat man."
"Third brother?"
"What, you think it's impossible for him?"
"It's not just Weichen, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty think it's impossible."
"Hey, over the years, the hard fat man has been favored by me, and he has offended many people for this, the so-called three great ministers, he is one of them, isn't he?" The emperor laughed twice, very happy, "I'm going to do something out of the ordinary tonight, if the hard fat man endures it, it will be planted with antipathy, and if he can't bear it tonight, it will be disgusted." Everyone likes to kill the ministers, who would say that the emperor is ruthless? ”
"I'm afraid that Your Majesty will never find such a loyal minister as the general of the Chinese army in the future."
The emperor's face gradually turned cold, "In the future, it may be difficult to have a great general, and there will never be a shortage of fat people." ”
Lou Ji pretended to be helpless, leaned over and reached out to touch the dagger.
The emperor had already turned his horse's head, "Before you get to Tongguan, you can talk and communicate with anyone, and I won't stop you." By the way, the descendant of Emperor Liang named Ma Wei is said to have been missing for several days, so it's okay, the assassination conspiracy is becoming more and more obvious, but he can't escape, and he will be arrested in the end. ”
Before the dagger could be touched, the emperor had already galloped down the mountain.
There are several houses in the back alley of the Chinese general's mansion that are quite mysterious, there are often carriages and horses in and out, but very few people come out, and occasionally they will be under martial law by officers and soldiers at night, and the whole alley is not allowed to pass.
This is one of the so-called three small harems, the emperor is familiar with the road, straight into the gate, the first thing after jumping off the horse is to check the "goods" tonight.
Five dressed women lined up, and there were no lights inside and outside the courtyard, only Lou Qiang held a lantern in his hand, taking turns to illuminate the woman's face for the emperor to appreciate.
The emperor didn't squeak, Lou Hard's heart was a little weak, these were all beauties he carefully selected and bought at a high price, he himself coveted it for a long time, but he didn't even dare to touch it, just for tonight, if he couldn't satisfy the emperor, it would be miserable.
The attendants crowded at the gate of the courtyard, secretly praising the five women's heavenly beauty.
The emperor beckoned, asked Lou Qiang to come over, and asked, "Haven't you seen a woman?" ”
"Huh? Ever seen...... Seen some. ”
"Just some?"
"There are too many women, I, I can't see ......"
"Haha, I've only seen some women, and you can pick out five stunning, you have a good eye."
Lou was so relieved that he almost cried, "I have been nurtured by His Majesty for a long time, and my vision has improved a little." Your Majesty go and sit in the hall, the banquet has been arranged. ”
The emperor took a step, stopped and turned around, "What about these attendants?" ”
"This ...... Who does Your Majesty want to come in? ”
According to the custom, when the emperor is in a good mood, he will select a few attendants to drink together, but he is in a good mood tonight, "Before leaving the palace, I personally said that tonight there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers, everyone is an ordinary soldier, drinking and having fun together." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty did." The attendants all noticed that the emperor was in a good mood tonight, and more and more people crowded into the courtyard.
Lou was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "It's okay, come in, I'll let people set up a few more tables immediately, and I will definitely make everyone have a good drink." ”
"Enough wine, what about the women?" The Emperor asked.
Lou Jian didn't understand what it meant, "Your Majesty thinks that five girls are not enough?" ”
"Five women, dozens of attendants, are you enough?"
"They...... Do they want it too? "Lou Hard does everything according to convention, and the emperor has never said that he wants to share beauty with anyone.
"The soldiers have to have some fun before they go into battle, these attendants have been with me for a long time, they will go on the expedition tomorrow, I don't know how many people will be able to return in the future, tonight may be their last indulgence."
Lou Qiang immediately said: "I'm going to find someone, how many attendants are there, how many women are there......"
The attendants, both young and old, were all a little excited to hear these words, and none of them were willing to stop or humble themselves.
The emperor smiled: "Don't be so troublesome, the courtyard here is small, you can't ...... together" The emperor raised his hand and pressed it on Lou's hard shoulder, "The princess is still in the palace, right?" ”
Lou Hard's wife and mother were in the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, and they never came home, he nodded blankly, "Yes." ”
"Huangfu and Shao Junqian's homes can be opened for me, can you do it?"
Lou Qiang was taken aback, and immediately his face was like earth, "Your Majesty, this ...... This...... I still have a daughter at home......"
"These people are all the sons and daughters of the nobles of the court, how many more sons-in-law, are you not happy?"
"I, I'm ......" Lou Qiang couldn't be happy, and was about to cry.
"Okay, except for my daughter, everyone else is fine, right?"
Lou is hard, good at wine and lustful, while looking for beauty for the emperor, he also looks for a large number of beauties for himself, and regards them as treasures, and even his own son is not allowed to enter the back house casually.
"Your Majesty...... Since...... No problem, let me go back and arrange it......" Lou Jian hopes to at least take away a few of his favorite concubines.
"You're the best at drinking, so you have to stay." The emperor still pressed Lou Gong's shoulders and said loudly to the attendants: "The General's Mansion of the Chinese Army tonight is yours, you can do whatever you want, and you don't thank the Chinese army?" ”
"Thank you Hard Guy!" Among the attendants, there are cautious people, who just open their mouths and dare not squeak, and there are many young people, as well as the children who have never been on good terms with the Lou family, who wish to have such an opportunity.
"Don't touch the daughter of the hard Chinese army, he doesn't want to accept his son-in-law tonight." The Emperor waved his other hand, "Go." ”
The back door of the General's Mansion of the Chinese Army was opposite, and the attendants couldn't open it, and the emperor heard the voice and said to the stunned building: "If you go to the Shao family and the Huangfu family tonight, this kind of thing will not happen." ”
Lou was as hard as waking up from a dream, and he didn't dare to shake off the palm on his shoulder, and said to the housekeeper standing in the courtyard: "Go and let the house open the door and tell the people in the house...... Tell them to be sure to entertain His Majesty's attendants. ”
The emperor smiled: "This is the hard fat man I know." ”
The steward didn't move immediately, and Lou reprimanded: "Go quickly, do you have to let me break your legs?" ”
The steward hurried to the house to open the back door.
The voices outside faded away, and four attendants stood in the doorway.
The Emperor asked, "Do you not want to share my weal and sorrow?" ”
The two left in a hurry, leaving only Lou Ji and Zhang Shiyu, the latter was young, and it all depended on what his brother-in-law did, but he was very uneasy in his heart, and quietly pulled Lou Ji's sleeves, thinking that it was good to go out and make a show.
Lou Ji didn't move, and the emperor didn't get angry, and said with a smile: "You two stay and drink with me, Lou Ji, what do you have to say?" ”
Lou Ji shook his head, for him, this was a golden opportunity, just wait for the emperor to get drunk......
The emperor pushed Lou Hard and said with a smile: "Hard fat man, don't put on such a look, is a woman so important to you?" ”
"It's not important, it's not important at all." Lou Ji was ruthless, forgot about the beautiful concubine at home, and said with a smile: "The princess has long seen that these sluts are not pleasing to the eye, and I also feel annoyed, let everyone have fun tonight, if anyone likes it, take it away, it will be a gift from me." ”
The emperor laughed, "This is the hard fat man, not in vain for my ......"
A man suddenly appeared in the shadows, holding a short blade and pounced on the emperor.
There was even an Assassin hiding here.
