Chapter Ninety-Three: Xianbei's Letter

"See the concubine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Shi Jian saluted and shouted from afar.

Liu Guifei and Shi Zun saw Shi Jian standing there, and immediately subconsciously stood some distance, Liu Guifei raised her hand and said, "King Ning is polite." ”

"Brother Three Emperors, long time no see." Shi Jian said hello with an indifferent expression.

Shi Jian pretended not to see Shi Zun's expression, smiled and returned a salute, saying, "Ninth brother, long time no see." ”

"Brother Sanhuang, this is here to greet my father?" Shi Zun asked lightly.

"I just came from the Evergreen Palace, and I heard that my father was sick with the dragon, so I stopped by to visit my father." Shi Jian's face was gentle, even a little humble.

"Sister Concubine Zheng is doing lately? I haven't seen her in this palace for some days, and next time Your Highness enters the palace, I will help this palace bring a good message to Sister Concubine Zheng. Liu Guifei said in a weird way.

When Shi Jian heard Liu Guifei say such a thing, the anger in his heart was immediately ignited, but he endured the resentment in his heart and pretended to answer calmly: "The mother concubine is in good health, but she suffered some cold a few days ago, and she is already much better, thank you for your concern, next time I enter the palace, I will definitely convey my mother's greetings to my mother." ”

"Okay, you go and see Your Majesty, I will go with His Royal Highness King Qing first." Concubine Liu glanced at Shi Jian and left.

Shi Jian smiled and bent down to salute, and said, "Niangniang, go slowly." ”

Shi Jian straightened up, looked at Liu Guifei and Shi Zun's backs coldly, his eyes were full of murderous intent, he clenched his fists, and wanted to tear Liu Guifei and Shi Zun apart immediately.

But reason had finally overcome his impulses, and he knew that patience was his best option at the moment.

Shi Jian always remembered what Gao Shangzhi said to him: It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Watching Liu Guifei and Shi Zun walk away, Shi Jian turned around, looked up at the three words of Hongguang Pavilion, took a deep breath, and walked into the gate of Hongguang Pavilion with great reluctance.

"His Royal Highness King Ning......" Lu An saw Shi Jian and hurriedly saluted.

Shi Jian raised his hand and said; "No need to be formal, how is my father?"

"Your Majesty is weak and still asleep." Lu An lowered his head and replied in a low voice.

"Father, what kind of illness is this?"

"Imperial Physician Zhang said that Your Majesty was overworked, and some time ago, because of the stabbing of the noble concubine Niangniang on Wolong Mountain, the liver was on fire, so he was in a hurry and needed to recuperate for a period of time."

Shi Jian nodded and said to Lu An: "If my father wakes up and tells him, it will be said that this king has come to see him." ”

After Shi Jian finished speaking, he stuffed a gold ingot to Lu An.

Lu An hurriedly pushed back and whispered, "No, no, no, Your Highness, what are you doing?" Slaves can't ask for it. ”

Shi Jian grabbed Lu An's arm with his left hand, and stuffed the ingot of gold into his hand with his right hand, and said: "This is not a big deal, this king has no friends in the palace, in the future, my mother's evergreen palace will help take care of Gonggong Lu, take it." ”

Lu An looked at Shi Jian with some uneasiness, Shi Jian's face was gentle, his eyes were sincere, and Lu An couldn't help but let down his vigilance.

Shi Jian smiled, let go of the hand that was holding Lu An, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "This king will go first, my father's side, and I still need you to watch more, you must serve your father well." ”

"Yes! Minions understand! Lu An nodded hurriedly in response.

Shi Jian smiled and nodded, and then walked out of Hongguang Pavilion, Lu An looked at Shi Jian's back, then looked at the gold in his hand, and quickly stuffed the gold in his hand into his arms and hid it, looked around, and made sure that there was no one, so he walked out of Hongguang Pavilion with confidence.

"King Ning is really useless, His Majesty has never looked at him in his eyes, and he is still cheeky to call you a brother and sister to Your Highness, it's ridiculous to think about it." Liu Guifei said as she walked.

Shi Zun said with a smile: "His mother, Concubine Zheng, has not been treated by his father in the harem for decades, and his father rarely looks at him directly, so King Ning has a withdrawn personality and no vision, and he has always been nested in his Ning Wangfu as his Taiping prince, and he has no dealings with anyone, and he has no grudges with anyone." ”

"Isn't that the same as Xihua Hou Shizhan?"

Shi Jian shook his head and said: "It's different, Shi Zhan is arrogant in his bones, he disdains to deal with us so-called brothers, King Ning is different, he has suffered cold eyes since he was a child, and he has low self-esteem in his bones, so he is polite to everyone, never speaks loudly, and he doesn't dare to raise his head and stand tall when he walks." ”

"I'm a coward after all." Liu Guifei smiled disdainfully.

"I don't know how long my father's body can last, and in the future, you still have to put more effort into obtaining the Sacred Heart, otherwise if King Yan is on the throne, you and I will not have a good result."

"Then if King Yan really ascends the throne, what should His Highness do?"

Shi Zun suddenly stopped, looked at Liu Guifei, and then said in a low voice: "If you really come to this point, then you can only make dangerous moves and fight to the death." ”

After listening to Shi Zun's words, Liu Guifei's face was a little ugly, and she asked, "If that's the case, is there a chance of winning?" ”

Shi Zun took a breath and said, "It's too early to talk about this matter, you don't have to worry, this king has his own plans." The most important thing at the moment is to let the king stay in the capital, the annual practice, after the father's birthday, the king has to go to Licheng, and stay until the end of each year to come back, during which if the father is critically ill, the king can not take the lead, so starting this year, no matter what, we must find a way to get the father to agree to the king to stay. ”

"When Your Majesty is better, I will try my best to resolve this matter and persuade Your Majesty to stay in the capital."

Shi Zun nodded and said with a smile: "If Niangniang goes out, she will definitely be able to succeed." ”

"Your Highness has won the award, I can only do my best." Concubine Liu Guifei said, glanced at Shi Zun, and asked: "Your Majesty is afraid that you will have to rest in bed these days, I don't know if Your Highness has time to go to Huilan Palace to sit in private." ”

Shi Zun looked at Concubine Liu Guifei, a lewd smile suddenly appeared on his face, and asked, "You are not afraid that there are many people in the palace, what if someone sees it and tells my father?" ”

Liu Guifei looked up at Shi Zhan and asked with a smile, "Could it be that His Highness is afraid?" ”

Shi Zun smiled: "Since this king has already done such a thing, what else is there to be afraid of?" ”

"In that case, you go ...... tonight" Liu Guifei leaned into Shi Zun's ear and whispered a few words.

Shi Zun nodded, and then asked, "Where is it?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll ask Xiaoxiang to pick you up when the time comes, and she will bring you to me." Liu Guifei said, her face flushed.

"That's fine, the king is coming to you tonight!" Shi Zun said that he wanted to touch Liu Guifei in a daze.

Concubine Liu Guifei hurriedly took a step back and stopped: "Your Highness, there are many people in the palace in this broad daylight, and if you are seen, you can't tell clearly." ”

Shi Zun was stunned, withdrew his hand a little reluctantly, and said, "Okay, this king will spend a good night with you tonight!" ”

Liu Guifei lowered her head and smiled, then saluted slightly, and said, "I'll go back to Huilan Palace first." ”

Shi Zun nodded, and Liu Guifei turned to leave.

It was already dark when Shi Jian returned to King Ning's Mansion, and he had just walked into the front hall and found that Gao Shangzhi was already sitting there waiting for him.

"Your Highness! Is this from the concubine Niangniang? Seeing Shi Jian coming in, the noble one got up and asked.

Shi Jian nodded, then looked at Gao Shangzhi and asked, "Why did you come here in person today?" Didn't you say that there was someone watching you outside your house? ”

"There are always more ways than difficulties, and those few local chickens and wooden dogs are not enough to trap the lower officials."

"What's the solution?" Shi Jian was a little curious.

"Let's not talk about this for now, I came here today, there are some things to discuss with His Highness in person." Gao Shangzhi's face was slightly serious.

"Sit down and talk." It will naturally not be a trivial matter to let Gao Shangzhi personally go to King Ning's Mansion under such circumstances.

"Early this morning, the person sent by the lower officials to connect with Murong Jun came back, and he also brought a reply from Murong Jun." Gao Shangzhi said, and took out a letter from his bosom.

Shi Jian took the letter, opened it, looked at it for a while, his face was a little bad, he tore the letter to pieces, and scolded: "What a Murong Jun, a Xianbei cub with no one in his eyes." ”

After Shi Jian finished scolding, he asked, "Have you read the contents of the letter?" ”

Gao Shangzhi nodded, sighed, and said, "Murong Jun is arrogant, and His Highness has no reputation outside. He said that Xianbei people only know Shi Zhan, Shi Zun, and Shi Shi, but they don't know that Zhao has King Ning, which is Murong Jun's original words. ”

"Murong Xiao'er, despise this king! He Xianbei is just a defeated general under Shi Zhan, why dare he be so arrogant? Shi Jian scolded coldly, then turned his head and asked, "What else did the Xianbei people say?" ”

"This matter was sent by the lower official No. 1 to do it, Murong Jun asked No. 1, if Xianbei helps His Royal Highness to seize the throne, if it fails, won't Xianbei suffer the blow of Zhao State again?"

"In the end, Murong Jun still doesn't believe that this king has this ability."

"Actually, Murong Jun's doubts are not unreasonable." Gao Shangzhi glanced at Shi Jian and said slowly: "His Royal Highness has always been low-key in the court, he does not make friends with people, he does not grudge with people, and he has no military power in his hands, so it is understandable that Murong Jun is so worried. Xianbei people are not His Highness's soldiers, what we are seeking is only short-term interests, how can they be as loyal to His Highness as the old ministers? Naturally, the risks are considered. ”

Shi Jian raised his hand and said coldly: "Okay, there is no need to say it again, the king already knows the meaning of the Xianbei people, since this is the case, we don't have to ask him first." When Murong Jun's men and horses arrive in Yecheng, the king will give them some color when the time comes! Act like a snob! ”

"Then contact the Xianbei people and let them send troops to help seize the throne at that time, should this plan be made separately?"

"The Xianbei people were originally just a chess piece, and this chess piece was not very easy to control. Xianbei people are not small in ambition, they have been plotting for a long time, and they are afraid that it will be easy to invite God to send God when the time comes, and they completely count on Xianbei people to help, which is tantamount to leading tigers and killing wolves. After this king meets with Murong Jun, see what kind of person this person is, and then decide what to do. ”
