Chapter 134: Unforeseen Circumstances
When Liu Gouwa thanked him for his benevolence and righteousness, and was still comparing his military rank with his senior brother Meng Guangyuan in his heart, Meng Chang still didn't mind Liu Gouwa's simple thanks, and shouted to the senior brother: "Prince Renqing stepped forward to listen to the seal."

"Brother is here." The senior brother replied, hurriedly stood up, bowed down, and listened to Meng Chang's reward.
"Prince Renqing sent an envoy to the Jin Dynasty, contacted the military and civilians from all over the country, and assisted the Shu State in the future Northern Expedition, meritorious service, and is now promoted to General Xuanwei, serving as the commander of the right Yulin Army in the imperial city, and will take office on the same day." Meng Chang said.
"Brother of the courtiers is grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." After hearing Meng Chang's announcement, the senior brother respectfully saluted and thanked him.
Liu Gouwa listened to Meng Chang's reward for the senior brother, and the heart of comparison in her heart couldn't help but settle down again, and the vanity just now disappeared completely, the senior brother's General Xuanwei was several levels higher than Liu Gouwa, a ranger general, and what else was there in the middle, General Mingwei, General Guide Zhonglang, General Dingyuan, and General Ningyuan, before he arrived at this ranger general.
Liu Gouwa also sighed in her heart, this senior brother's promotion is like playing, he rose to the front of him like a rocket, and he left himself far behind.
When Liu Gouwa was in a trance, Meng Chang gave Wang Juma the title of a loyal general, which was three or four levels higher than the title of the senior brother, and then Meng Chang announced that he would give a banquet to the envoys of the Tang State in the imperial garden and let everyone accompany him.
Meng Chang's banquet, rich in wine and dishes, the style is varied, the palace maids are around, sheng singing and dancing, wonderful, but everyone dare not drink happily, this emperor's banquet is just a form, just a symbol of respect and grace for the people who are given the banquet, less than an hour, the banquet will be dispersed, and everyone will leave the palace.
When Liu Gouwa went out of the palace with the senior brother and others, she saw a little eunuch catching up behind her, saying that the Empress Dowager Li was going to summon Liu Gouwa, and Liu Gouwa had to return to the inner palace to see the Empress Dowager Li.
When I came to the Empress Dowager Li, I saw the Empress Dowager Li lying on the brocade couch, served by the palace maid and pretending to sleep, and saw Liu Gouwa coming, so she was gently supported by the palace maid and beckoned the palace maid to sit on Liu Gouwa and make tea.
It turned out that the wound under the jaw of the Empress Dowager Li was itchy and uncomfortable, and she didn't believe the imperial doctor in the palace, so she heard that Liu Gouwa had entered the palace today, so she ordered someone to invite Liu Gouwa over to see the cause of the disease for her.
Liu Gouwa untied the medicine bag for her, checked the wound, the wound was not inflamed and swollen, and changed a pair of medicines for her, and then said: "Queen Mother, your illness is fine, but when the wound heals, new flesh grows, and the wound will feel a little itchy. ”
"I see, I scared the mourning family to death, and the mourning family thought that the disease was about to recur." After the Empress Dowager Li listened to Liu Gouwa's words, she let go of her heart, and instructed the palace maid to make tea for Liu Gouwa again.
The palace maid who made tea, with a thin face and bright eyes, avoided the Empress Dowager Li, winked at Liu Gouwa gently, and then made tea for Liu Gouwa, and when serving tea to Liu Gouwa, she secretly handed Liu Gouwa a thing under her hand.
Although Liu Gouwa didn't know what she handed to herself, she still inadvertently put it into her palm when she took the tea.
Empress Dowager Li greeted Liu Gouwa for a while, and rewarded Liu Gouwa with some pastries, so she asked people to send Liu Gouwa out of the palace, and when Liu Gouwa left the palace, she opened the tea palace maid and stuffed it into him.
It turned out that the thing was a crumpled ball of hemp paper, and I saw that there were many lines drawn on the paper, twisted and twisted, and some of them were crossed, so I couldn't tell what was drawn.
However, there are a few lines, as if he has walked in the palace, Liu Gouwa compared these lines with the paths in the palace that he knew, and suddenly found that these lines are the various paths and passages in the palace.
I had heard in the Wangcheng Prime Minister's Mansion that Mrs. Li, the mother of the little junior sister, arranged her disciple into the palace as a palace maid and lurked, so this palace maid who made tea was Mrs. Li's disciple, and it seemed that she had become their traffic officer.
Liu Gouwa returned to the guest embassy, and saw the long-awaited General Xu at the door, under the arrangement of General Xu, Liu Gouwa went to the Wangcheng Prime Minister's Mansion again, met Meng Tao, told him what he saw and heard, word for word, and handed him the note from the tea palace maid.
Meng Tao got this information, he was very excited, and promised and praised Liu Gouwa, saying that in the future, he will be the emperor of Shu, and he will reward everyone and repay everyone.
But there are unforeseen circumstances, the ancients were completely a layman to be spies, and not two days later, when the tea palace maid was drawing other maps in the palace, she was caught by the patrol guards in the palace.
When the soldiers and horses of the Shu court surrounded the guest envoys, Liu Gouwa was still in the dark about what happened to her. Liu Gouwa and other people from Hutou Mountain were convicted of rebellion and imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department of Shu.
In the prison of the Shu State Criminal Department, many prisoners were imprisoned, including Liu Gouwa, who had seen the assassin Da Niu who had been smashed with a chair in Fei Ying's small hall before. At this time, the big cow was tied up in prison, beaten half to death, covered with scars, and shouted to himself: "You bunch of rabbits, haven't you eaten, do you tickle Lao Tzu?" ”
Seeing Liu Gouwa and the others, who were escorted in by the officers and soldiers, they couldn't help but turn their heads curiously to look at Liu Gouwa and the others, laughing and a little gloating.
Soon, Radar and Gao Qiang were also imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department on the charge of assisting Liu Gouwa to play a double reed, and they were guilty of the same crime as Liu Gouwa and others, and they were inexplicably wronged.
