Due to Zheng Dan's accident when dancing "Ode to the Moonlit Night in Jiangnan", Queen Yue's birthday was naturally disrupted.

The strange thing is that after Wu Wangfu learned the news, he went against the norm and personally brought the doctor over to treat Zheng Dan's injuries, and then issued a royal decree announcing that Zheng Dan was injured in the dance at the birthday banquet of Queen Yue in order to promote friendship between Wu and Yue.

The whole country was in an uproar.

Especially the courtiers, they were all stunned.

Since ancient times, the king's wives and concubines have only had the position of queen, concubine, and concubine, and there has never been the position of a second concubine.

What the hell is this second concubine who was fabricated by Wu Wangfu?

Although Wu Wangfucha has often acted domineering and shaky in recent years, it seems that there has never been any outrageous behavior in the matter of the positions of the women under his name.

A few days ago, Xi Shi from Yue Guo was named a concubine, and this time Zheng Dan from Yue Guo was named the second concubine, is it to control the power of the queen from Wu State?

But the future successor to the crown prince is contemptuous of the queen, and Wu Wangfu is about to empty the queen's power, is he dissatisfied with the prince's contempt?

If this is the case, then He, will King Wu abolish the prince and contempt him, and set up another prince friend or land as the prince?

Some courtiers with active brains began to inquire everywhere for news, hoping to find out the truth behind the scenes as soon as possible, so as to get close to the next crown prince in advance and achieve the merit of becoming a dragon.

Several of them even found the weekend door up.

The weekend was deeply impressed by the rich imagination of the people of Wu after tea and dinner.

In history, Wu Wangfucha has never abolished the prince's contempt, and has always respected the queen very much, everyone really thinks too much.

However, in history, Wu Wangfu did not make Zheng Dan a concubine, and this matter is what makes people feel puzzling.

Zheng Dan, a woman who is extremely unkind to Xi Shi, and now, she is a concubine, but she is afraid that she will be more arrogant, and she will find an excuse to calculate Xi Shi.

I have money but no power on my side, and there is only one Xiao Mo available, and he only protects himself, not Xi Shi, what will he do to compete with Zheng Dan's woman?

I was worried about the weekend.

However, the world is such a coincidence, the more he annoys something, the more he comes.

On this morning, a small sedan chair came to the palace of King Wu to take Xi Shi into the palace.

Xiao Mo stopped and asked about the situation according to the rules, and the other party claimed that it was the second concubine in the palace who missed Xi Shi, a good sister, and wanted to find her to enter the palace to catch up.

This kind of reason is very justifiable, Xiao Mo can't stop it, and at the same time, Xiao Mo is a native of Wu after all, and his heart is naturally towards Wu Guo.

At the birthday banquet of Queen Yue before, he had already seen some contradictions between Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, the two Yue women, and wished that they would fight in the nest, so he quickly let people into the courtyard, and did not deliberately give the news out of the weekend when they were away.

I went out on weekends to pay for assassins to be bodyguards to protect Shih Tzu.

It's just that there was a Zhuan Zhu incident in the Wu Kingdom, and although Wu Wangfucha's father relied on the assassin Zhuan Zhu to get to the top, he himself was also afraid of the existence of the assassin group.

Since his accession to the throne, he has targeted the charlatans and the unemployed, arranging for them to be checked one by one, and formulating various rules and regulations to restrict their movements.

If they find out that there is a disturbance, they will treat these people as rebels, arrest them in prison, and repair them severely, and those who are soft and obedient can also get back half of their lives, otherwise, they will die dead.

This measure has worked wonders, and in the past few years, there have been almost no new cases of assassination of every king of Wu, and even the number of assassination cases of officials in the DPRK and China has been far fewer than in the past.

The current Wu Wangfucha in the national policy and law, most of them follow the old system, only after the reuse of Wu Zixu, in some details of the rejuvenation of the country and the country, the method has been improved.

However, Wu Zixu did not raise any objections to the restriction of assassins.

In such an environment, there were naturally very few assassins in the Wu Kingdom.

I asked around on the weekend, but I didn't find any useful clues, so I had no choice but to hold a martial arts recruitment competition to select Wu strong men with strong martial arts skills to train as bodyguards for myself and Xi Shi.

The competition is divided into three rounds, the preliminary round, the semi-final, and the final.

Those who finish in the top 100 in the preliminary round can get five coins each.

Those who enter the top 30 in the semi-finals can get half a tael of silver each.

Those who enter the top ten in the finals can each get the opportunity to be a weekend yard guard and a half a silver dollar per month.

Today is the third day of the competition, there are a lot of people who come to participate, the main weekend to use their identity as the future concubine brother of Xi Shi, and actively contact the local government, the small favor of the small favor, the beating of the beating, finally, successfully conquer them, so that they in the form of a formal official letter, help the weekend to attract everyone to participate in the recruitment competition.

Of course, the bounty of the semi-finals is high enough, and if you pass the finals as a weekend escort, the reward will be high enough, which is also an important reason why everyone is interested in participating.

I was busy until noon, and I was hungry on the weekend, so I went home for dinner as usual.

I found that Xi Shi was not there during the meal, and I felt strange on the weekend, so I went to Xi Shi's room to look for it, but I didn't find anyone, and asked the old lady who was cooking in the kitchen, and the old lady didn't know at all, so I had to ask Xiao Mo, who was the gatekeeper.

Xiao Mo told the truth.

Weekend swoop.

Judging from what Xiao Mo said, Xi Shi should have entered the palace at the beginning of the morning to "catch up" with Zheng Dan, and now it is noon, and more than two hours have passed, if Zheng Dan is bad to Xi Shi in the palace, I am afraid that the results have already come out.

He was a little strange in his heart that Xiao Mo couldn't ask someone to bring a letter to tell him about it, but considering that it was useless to blame Xiao Mo for this matter, he finally chose to remember Xiao Mo in his heart, and then took Xiao Mo to the palace to inquire about the news.

Although he doesn't often go in and out of the palace on weekends, his martial arts recruitment competition is known to everyone in Gusu City for the past three days.

The palace guards also want to make more money and live a good life, and during the rest of the time, there have been many guards who have quietly participated in this event held by him, or have friends to participate in this event, and they quietly go to cheer and watch the excitement.

When he arrived at the palace gate on the weekend, three of the four guards guarding the palace gate recognized him.

They all came up to greet him warmly.

One of them asked, "Immortal Zhou Chang, did you come to the palace to find King Wu Chitose, or did you come to pick up the concubine?" ”

I didn't have much impression of these people on the weekend, after all, there were too many people who participated in the martial arts recruitment competition, and they didn't show their identities, so he naturally didn't deliberately write them down, just because these people had a good memory, and remembered themselves when they were called into the palace by King Wu last time.

He smiled and took out some copper coins from his sleeve pocket, gave five to each of the four of them, and handed them his own post, and then replied, "I have an urgent matter to see King Wu, please help me inform him as soon as possible." ”
