Du Wenhao looked grateful, hurriedly straightened his robe, and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your magnanimity!" The foolish brother will not mention it in the future. ”

Only then did King Yong turn his anger into joy: "That's right!" Prime Minister Cai said to the king before, you were promised the position of privy deputy envoy, the king immediately agreed very happily, the virtuous brother in Chengdu Fu Road to meet the Tubo Xishan army, in the case of fewer enemies, avoid its edge, lead the enemy's nose, use the favorable fighter to organize a counterattack in time, won a complete victory, annihilated the Xishan army, this battle won very beautifully. Although you are good at taking the military power in front of you, you have committed a big taboo, but it is also a last resort due to the urgency of the military situation, at that time, the king advised the royal brother, saying that you should not be punished too severely, and you must pay attention to your military talent, good steel should be used on the blade! No, isn't the position of Privy Vice-Chancellor reserved for you? Hahaha"

Du Wenhao's face showed a little smugness: "The imperial brother praised it falsely, and the foolish brother is also a blind cat who has met a dead mouse." Hey hey"

"Good! In the future, this king will ascend the throne, let you take command of the northern expedition, and kill all the dead rats of Western Xia and Daliao for this king! How about completing the great cause of unifying the country? ”

Du Wenhao was surprised and delighted, hurriedly got up, and arched to the ground: "Thank you Brother Huang, the foolish brother will definitely bow and die as much as he can, wave his army to the north, and level Xia Liao!" ”

"Good! Then we're done! You go back now, don't worry about anything else, just speak for the queen mother for this king, and let him decide as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night! ”

"Yes!" Du Wenhao bowed down and agreed, but he still stood there and said goodbye.

Seeing this, King Yong smiled and said, "Brother Xian, what else is there?" ”

"Yes." Du Wenhao took out a book from his arms, took two steps forward, and said: "The foolish brother heard that the imperial brother likes ancient books, and he searched for rare books everywhere. ”

King Yong's preference for ancient rare books has reached a crazy level, and he once tried to rob Prime Minister Fu Bi of a rare book of Buddhist scriptures in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Fu Bi ruined his family. Now I heard Du Wenhao say that he had an ancient book, and he suddenly became interested, although he didn't believe that Du Wenhao could receive any good books, he still stood up and walked over to take the book.

At this glance, King Yong's eyes suddenly widened, his breathing became short, even his hands were trembling, and his words were not smooth: "Huiyuan...... Master Huiyuan's handwritten "Sutra of Amitayus"?! Oh my God, this is a treasure! - Slow down! Maybe it's a fake! Let's see if this king is alive! ”

King Yong held the book in both hands, as if holding his own heart and liver, moved back to his seat step by step, carefully put the book on the table, and calmed down, only then with his trembling hand, he twisted the paper first, and his eyes lit up: "That's right, this paper is from the Eastern Jin Dynasty!" ”

Slowly, page by page, nodding his head. It only took one meal to raise his head, and his face was deformed excitedly: "Brother Xian's book, it is really the Sanskrit "Amitayus Sutra" handwritten by Master Huiyuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he and Wang Xizhi are friends, and the calligraphy has been guided by Wang Xizhi, which has the flavor of calligraphy, and the inscription of this book is his handwriting!" And stamps! This king once got a handwritten Sanskrit Buddhist scripture by Master Huiyuan, and the seal on it was exactly the same as the book of the virtuous brother! It should be the original copy completed at the same time! ”

Du Wenhao smiled: "If it's true, that's great." ”

King Yong was holding which scripture book, so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, sat down in his robe, still pressed the Buddhist scripture with his hand, and looked at Du Wenhao: "Brother Xian, this book is bought by the king, you say a price, this king will never bargain!" ”

"No, no, Brother Huang, this book is ......, hehe, the foolish brother can't sell ......"

A trace of displeasure flashed on King Yong's face, and he raised three fingers: "This king bids three hundred taels of gold!" ”

Three hundred taels of gold, that's equivalent to three million yuan!

Du Wenhao shook his head.

King Yong raised five fingers again: "Five hundred taels!" - Brother Xian, five hundred taels of gold is a lot! ”

Du Wenhao still smiled and shook his head.

King Yong clenched his fist: "Okay!" For the sake of the virtuous brother's face, make up a whole number, one thousand taels of gold! ”

Du Wenhao still shook his head.

King Yong slowly put his hand down: "It seems that Brother Xian doesn't want money, hehe, what do you want?" Let's talk about it. ”

Du Wenhao bowed and said: "Foolish brother, don't want anything, this book is a tribute to the imperial brother, as a congratulatory gift for the imperial brother's accession to the throne!" ”

King Yong was stunned for a moment, then laughed, pointed at Du Wenhao and said, "Brother Xian, there is really you!" Hahaha, good! Good brothers! Your gift has really been sent to the heart of this king! Thank you, thank you. Hahahaha! ”

"That's as it should be." Du Wenhao said with a smile: "In addition, the foolish brother also bought hundreds of fat sheep, ready to be sent to the guard Ma Jun and the guard infantry brothers, they have worked hard for days, they should be rewarded." It's just that these cattle and sheep are alive, and it takes a little effort to slaughter them. ”

King Yong praised: "The brothers are really thoughtful, it's okay, just come to roast the whole sheep, these brothers like it the most." Well, tonight the king will take you to meet with the brothers, and let them toast you well, for the king knows that you have a good amount of wine. Hahaha"

King Yong touched and touched the scripture, he couldn't put it down, Du Wenhao sent a large flock of live sheep to reward his army, naturally it was impossible to poison or anything, so there was no doubt about him, and he praised Du Wenhao for being thoughtful.

Du Wenhao bowed down again and said, "In addition, the foolish brother has a small suggestion, I don't know if it is suitable?" ”

"Well, Brother Xian's suggestion is a good one! Say it! ”

"The foolish brother wants to wait a while to enter the palace and persuade the queen mother to remove the military power of Wei An, who commanded the guards in front of the palace. I don't know if it's okay? ”

King Yong was surprised and delighted, and suddenly stood up, holding the rare Buddhist scripture in his hand: "What did you say? Brother Xian, can you really convince the queen mother to remove Wei Andu from commanding the army? ”

"The foolish brother wants to try, but he is not sure."

"Good! Good! Good! King Yong said three good words in a row, his only fear was that Wei An's palace guards controlled the palace, which was the biggest obstacle to his ascension to the throne, as long as this army turned to his subordinates, then there would be no worries. The world has been determined to be under his control, King Yong walked in front of Du Wenhao, and even said with some eagerness: "Brother Xian, if you can really do this, after this king ascends the throne, the privy envoy will be yours!" Well, this king has named you a loyal and brave marquis! ”

From the Privy Envoy's promise to the Privy Envoy, Du Wenhao's grinning mouth was almost in his ears, and he arched to the ground: "Thank you, Brother Huang!" - Then if the Empress Dowager agrees to remove Wei An's military power, who should the foolish brother ask the Empress Dowager to command the palace guards? ”

"Just teach you, hahaha, my good brother!" King Yong was already overjoyed by a series of joys, and when he heard Du Wenhao take the initiative to ask, he didn't have the slightest doubt about Du Wenhao, and replied without thinking.

"Yes! If the foolish brother can do this, he will come back immediately and wait for the imperial brother to send him! ”

"Good! Very good! Go, this king awaits your good news! Hahaha...... "King Yong held the scriptures and laughed loudly, very proud.

"Yes!"

Du Wenhao happily said goodbye and left the Yongwang Mansion.

After getting into the sedan chair, his smile turned into a sneer, and he ordered to get up the sedan chair and go straight to the palace.

The Empress Dowager has informed all the guards in the palace that Du Wenhao can enter and leave the palace freely. Therefore, Du Wenhao passed all the way unimpeded and went straight to the main hall of the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Gao of Renqing Palace.

The Queen Mother was sitting upright on the soft couch, still wearing a long black skirt with a snow-white white silk tied around her waist. Standing on the side was Father-in-law Jiao.

He was originally the personal eunuch next to the Empress Dowager, according to Du Wenhao's arrangement, the Empress Dowager ordered him to follow him in the future, of course Gonggong Jiao knew that this was Du Wenhao's idea, and readily agreed.

Although Gonggong Jiao also supported the Six Princes, Du Wenhao still did not tell him the plan, and the less people knew about such top secrets, the safer.

So Du Wenhao coughed, winked at the queen mother, and mouthed at the palace maids and eunuchs on both sides.

The queen mother understood, and waved her hand: "Xiao Jiaozi, you all retreat!" ”

"Yes!" Gonggong Jiao withdrew with all the palace maids and eunuchs, and only Du Wenhao and the queen mother were left in the house.

The queen mother stared at Du Wenhao with a pair of phoenix eyes, and stopped talking.

Du Wenhao glanced back at the closed door, and walked towards the Queen Mother, he stared at the Queen Mother's eyes, and clearly saw a trace of almost imperceptible joy, his heart suddenly settled, walked to the soft couch, sat next to the Queen Mother, turned his face to look at her, and whispered: "Talk!" ”

When the queen mother heard him call her nickname, she had already blushed, and a touch of tenderness flashed in her eyes.

Du Wenhao was waiting for this, reached over and hugged her slender waist.

The queen mother was stopped by him waist, and her body suddenly stiffened, the last time the two hugged each other, it was the queen mother who was in a trance and sorrow, and now she is suddenly so close, the queen mother still can't adapt, after all, she has not been so hugged by a man for nearly twenty years.

Du Wenhao felt the stiffness of her body, but he also heard her rapid panting, saw the panic in her eyes, became bolder, and hooked her wrist and took her into his arms.

The queen mother sighed and tried to break free, but not to mention that she didn't think about tea and dinner for a few days, her body was already extremely weak, even if she was a delicate woman on weekdays, if she was an enemy, she could be hugged by Du Wenhao. After two struggles, he collapsed in his arms and panted.

Du Wenhao didn't dare to go too far, just hugged her, but at this point, he didn't know what to do next.

The Empress Dowager took the opportunity to calm her mind, looked up at him and asked, "How are things?" ”

Du Wenhao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold her Rouyi, and tightened: "I'll do something, don't worry." Everything went according to plan. ”

"Well, that's good! You must not hurt the two emperors, and of course you can't hurt the six emperors and grandchildren! ”

Du Wenhao patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, I remember." ”

The Empress Dowager completely relaxed her body, snuggled up to his shoulder, closed her eyes, and let out a long sigh of relief: "When this matter is dealt with, I really want to sleep well for a few days and nights, I'm so tired......"

Du Wenhao said softly: "Yes, I have suffered you these days, but in the future, you will listen to the government, and you will be busy, I am afraid that there will be no time for you to rest in peace." ”

"I don't care! You help me deal with it! When the queen mother said this, she felt that she was as coquettish as a little girl, and she was a little embarrassed, so she blushed and struggled to get up again, but she was hugged by Du Wenhao and couldn't move.

The struggle of the queen mother made Du Wenhao also feel that it was inappropriate to hug her all the time, so he relaxed the strength of his hand and muttered: "I am a hairy young man, I have no power and power, and people don't buy it." ”

The Queen Mother took the opportunity to sit up straight, snorted, and said, "They dare!" Whoever dares not to buy it, I will withdraw him! ”

Du Wenhao laughed when he ate, and boldly reached out and gently twisted her delicate face like a girl, "So fierce?" I'm scared! ”

The Queen Mother's cheeks were crimson and she lowered her head.

Somehow, the queen mother felt that in front of Du Wenhao, she had become an ignorant little girl, she liked the feeling of him hugging her, she liked to listen to his calm words, she liked to see his resolute eyes, and in his arms, she became so youthful. The pain and sorrow of these days, with him, have been reduced a lot.

With a warm heart, the Queen Mother raised her eyes to look at him, gently, snuggled into his arms again, leaned her face against his solid chest, and murmured: "Wen Hao......"

Du Wenhao saw her shy appearance like a girl, which was really exciting, and he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her satin-smooth hair.

She didn't have any makeup, except for any long hair that flowed behind her head, lightly tied with a white ribbon. Du Wenhao felt pity in his heart, put his face on it, and a faint fragrance penetrated into his heart, like an orchid and musk. My heart fluttered, and I couldn't help but bow my head and kiss her hair.

The queen mother's body trembled slightly, this was the first time Du Wenhao kissed her, although it was only kissing her hair, after all, this was the first kiss from a man after nearly 20 years, she couldn't help but feel swaying, ashamed, a heart was beating like a deer, and in a panic, he buried his head in his arms.

The two hugged each other, speechless for a while, and could only hear each other's pounding heartbeats.

After a while, the Queen Mother put her face on his cheek and said in a low voice: "Wen Hao, you help me so much, how can I thank you?" ”

Du Wenhao sighed: "Alas! When the time comes, you just let King Yong and King Cao not kill me! ”

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, sat up straight and asked suspiciously, "Why did they kill you?" ”

Du Wenhao told him how he held King Cao and King Yong hostage.

The Queen Mother laughed when she heard this: "That's it, you didn't mean it, a misunderstanding, Hao'er and Hao'er won't be so stingy, when the time comes, I'll tell him, let him not trouble you!" Rest assured! ”

Du Wenhao said with a bitter face: "I heard that Prince Yong is very vindictive, but I held him hostage in public and cut Prince Cao's neck, this kind of shame will not be easily let go by anyone." Torrential! ”
