The sky in September was still very early, and when he opened his eyes dimly, the sky was already bright, and when he saw the furniture and desk in the house, Zhou Bian was clever, turned over and got up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night last night, and although I slept less, I still couldn't hide my excitement.

After waking up Liu Qing outside and calling Qiao'er to serve breakfast, Zhou Bian couldn't help but run outside the palace, and he didn't think about it until he remembered that if Zhou Gong really came today, it would not have arrived at this time, but at almost noon. I couldn't help but feel sorry for myself, and I went back to the house to stay.

But after staying for a while, he couldn't sit down, and forced the equally boring little white fat man back to the house to read, so he took Fan Yu and walked to the front hall. Summoned the two Taishi and the young master, and asked how prepared the army was, and when he heard that the army was ready, Zhou Bian put down his snack again. After asking several times, even Zhou Bian himself couldn't help laughing at himself, he was still nervous at the end of the day, and he didn't have the demeanor of a general.

However, it was not yet noon, when he was talking to the two of them with the Taishi and the young master, he suddenly saw the water in the cup shaking slightly, if Zhou Bian was not looking at it in a daze, he would not have noticed. Just as he was wondering if there was an earthquake, Fan Yu suddenly broke in, "King, Duke Zhou's army is almost under the city!" ”

Zhou Bian immediately stood up when he heard the sound, and the hem of his long robe was brought up, and he actually overturned the water glass. However, Zhou Bian still didn't realize it, and asked in an excited tone, "Is it really here, is it really Zhou Gong who personally led the army to come?" ”

Looking at Zhou Bian's leap up, Taishi couldn't help but shake his head, don't look at the king is just a child, but he is so eager to succeed, Taishi doesn't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for the royal family, but after all, this is the Son of Heaven, the king, no matter what, you can follow the king and assist the king, why think so much, so the Taishi also staggered and got up, and followed Zhou Bian out.

With a team of guards, Zhou Bian walked quickly to the palace gate, but before he arrived, he met the Queen Mother halfway, and Zhou Bian hurriedly stopped to salute. looked up at the Queen Mother, and couldn't tell what the Queen Mother's expression was, Zhou Bian's heart hung again. I only heard the Queen Mother say in a flat tone, "I heard that Duke Zhou is coming, Master Taishi, you go to the West Gate to bring Duke Zhou into the palace." Wang'er, you wait for Duke Zhou to meet you in the front hall with the palace. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, this ancient man really cherished words like gold, and refused to talk for a while, but Zhou Bian didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly followed. After the mother and son left, the Taishi hurried to the palace gate.

In the dim hall, the Queen Mother and Zhou Bian are sitting, this is the place where Zhou Bian and the Taishi discuss things, generally Zhou Bian will either talk or argue here, but at this time, the hall is quiet, the Queen Mother does not speak, Zhou Bian is silent. Thinking about the queen mother locking herself in the palace, it is also for her own good, but no matter what, the mother-son relationship is also a little estranged, although Zhou Bian also has his own power, and no one can stop him from forcibly leaving the palace, but Zhou Bian still cherishes this maternal love very much, so when the queen mother was not too rude, Zhou Bian was still an obedient baby.

Anxiously waited for a while, Zhou Bian's heart was also thinking about it, and he didn't know what Zhou Gong's attitude was towards sending troops this time, if he had the idea of letting the royal army be cannon fodder, then what should he do, whether to really charge, or let the plan change slightly to reduce the losses of the royal army. When he couldn't make up his mind, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the hall, and Zhou Bian's mind was pulled back, this must be Zhou Gong coming.

In fact, I got the news of Wang Sunman yesterday, Zhou Gong didn't want to send troops immediately, he was in charge of Luoyang for more than half a year, and Zhou Gong's temperament was a lot lazy, but he couldn't stand the persuasion of a group of advisers, this time on the issue of when to send troops, Zhou Gong's advisers reached an extremely rare agreement, whether it was Ning Yue, the Xin brothers, or General Long, they all unanimously asked Zhou Gong to send troops early, although everyone's thoughts were different, but the direction of efforts was highly consistent, so Zhou Gong, who felt a little strange, reluctantly agreed, I got up early this morning, picked up the soldiers and horses of the third division, and rushed east.

As expected, the royal family was still greeted by the prince, and a large number of soldiers were stationed outside the west gate of Chengzhou, and the Duke of Zhou led a team of guards and his ministers, and went to the palace with the prince to meet the king.

So just when Zhou Bian heard the footsteps and couldn't help getting up, Zhou Gong stepped into the hall first. As soon as he saw this nine-year-old boy Tianzi, Zhou Gong couldn't help but feel a trace of disdain in his heart, Huangkou Xiaoer, the milk smell has not dried up, what can he know, thanks to Ning Yue, he often puts the king in his mouth to praise, so finally with Ning Yue's efforts, the trace of attention to this young man who has just arisen in his heart is all gone when he sees this child who is less than his chest.

simply bowed to the king, but Zhou Bian, who was in a panic, hurriedly returned the salute, but he didn't notice that the salute he returned was heavier than that of Zhou Gongxing. Zhou Gong's heart was a little more contemptuous, he took a breath and wanted to snort, but he was interrupted by a soft cough, and when he saw the Queen Mother sitting high behind Zhou Bian, Zhou Gong immediately panicked and bowed down in a proper manner. The king can be disrespectful, but this queen mother, Zhou Gong is in awe from the bottom of his heart, when he was a child, he often heard how powerful his father was to be the queen of the royal family, and even how powerful the woman who became the queen mother in the future, so Zhou Gong did not dare to be sloppy with the queen mother.

Seeing that Zhou Gong was obviously inferior to the Queen Mother, Zhou Bian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that he still has a long way to go. But before he thought about it, he was pulled back by a few salutes, and it turned out that Zhou Gong was followed by three ministers from Luoyang.

First, a medium-sized person half-bent down and saluted, "Foreign Minister Ning Yue has seen the king!" ”

It turned out that this was Ning Yue, I often heard that this person was talented, but he always went against the royal family, but this was the first time he had seen him, so Zhou Bian couldn't help but pay attention to him, and he didn't even hear the two people behind him bowing clearly. This Ning Yue is not tall, his complexion is also darker, his forehead is broad, but his chin is full of beard, he looks like he is about forty years old, and when he goes to that station, although he does not see grandeur, but occasionally his eyes flash, but he does not dare to ignore it. Seeing the king looking at himself, Ning Yue rarely squeezed out a smile, which made Zhou Bian's perception of him change greatly, it turned out that Ning Yue was not a straight person, and he still knew a little sleek, but this was not good news for the royal family, because sometimes tactfulness is more difficult than rigidity.

After the two sides saw each other, they sat down separately, and there were people who were not very familiar with each other, and Zhou Bian would not say much, so it was mainly the Taishi who negotiated with Zhou Gong on behalf of the royal family.

The two sides talked for a while, Zhou Bian couldn't sit down, it turned out that Zhou Gong felt that it was not good to kill Gongyi in the afternoon, because it was night when he arrived in Gongyi, which was not conducive to fighting, and the Taishi persuaded him for a long time, and even Ning Yue, who was under Zhou Gong's own command, was persuading the soldiers to be fast, but Zhou Gong didn't agree to send troops immediately. When is this, both sides are still struggling with this kind of thing, Zhou Bian is really speechless, if it is not for the help of Zhou Gong's strength, and to lure Zhou Gong and the Luoyang army out of Luoyang City, Zhou Bian really doesn't want to deal with this person.

Since the battle at night was unfavorable, the Taishi proposed to camp not far from the west of Gongyi, and launched an attack early tomorrow morning, but was vetoed by Zhou Gong, it turned out that Zhou Gong was too tired to come from Luoyang in the morning, and wanted to rest for one night. What is this, how can there be such a leading army to go to the battle, the arrangement is messy, but it is good, Zhou Bian's nervousness because he is about to recapture Luoyang from Zhou Gonghu's mouth has eased a lot, and when he looks at Zhou Gong again, Zhou Bian feels like he is looking at a clown.

But in the end, of course, it is whose fist is bigger, and who has the weight of what he says, so he still depends on Zhou Gong and will set off from Cheng Zhou together early tomorrow morning.

The young master who came later couldn't help but mutter, "What if the child's class is prepared?" ”

Zhou Gong laughed when he heard it, "The person on whom the child's class relies is Han Hou." The widow heard the spies say today, that the Han army was defeated in Wusui, and it couldn't stop the Wei soldiers, and they couldn't take care of it, so what did Han Hou do to support the son's class. Ha ha! ”

Hearing Duke Zhou's conceited smile, Ning Yue also frowned, but what he was thinking about was something else, why did Duke Zhou only get a report from the spies today, and the royal family sent Wang Sun Man to ask for troops yesterday, could it be that the royal family could get the news before Duke Zhou? The speed of finding out the news also reflects the size of the national strength, but thinking that the royal family now has some money to do business, and the royal family attaches great importance to Gongyi, so Ning Yue still put his doubts back in his stomach after taking a few glances at the king.

The hall suddenly only echoed with Zhou Gong's laughter, and after a while, maybe Zhou Gong himself felt that it was not interesting to laugh alone, so he had to stop, but no one was present to pat him on the back, and Zhou Gong couldn't help but think of Xin Zhongli who stayed in Luoyang.

I didn't think that this Ji Dynasty had become so arrogant after ascending to the position of Duke Zhou, the Queen Mother also frowned, and the Queen Mother did not intervene in the discussion, but at this time, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she said that Duke Zhou was preparing lunch, got up and went out.

Taking advantage of the gap before lunch, Zhou Bian couldn't help but run out under the pretext of convenience, summoned Jiang Ping, and asked him to strengthen the surveillance of Gongyi, which was really uneasy, for fear that the son's class would make a name for himself. Looking at the back of Jiang Ping's departure, Zhou Bian relieved his heart a little, and only returned to the main hall when lunch was served.

As the most distinguished guest of the royal family, Zhou Gong naturally received the best hospitality from the royal family, and bowls of big meat were served out as if they didn't need money, and there was not a single vegetable or the like, which was rarely seen when the royal family insiders ate. Maybe it was a change of taste, or maybe it was eating in the royal family that made Zhou Gong feel extraordinarily feeling, Zhou Gong actually opened his shirt, threw away the chopsticks, and summoned a big bronze fork to eat, regardless of his image.

This bronze fork is the length of a person's forearm, and it is used for barbecue in the wild, so it is not suitable for use on this main banquet, Taishi and the others frowned when they saw this, even Zhou Bian was also a little unhappy in his heart, this is really contempt for my royal family. However, no one made a sound, so Zhou Gong simply tore it up with his hands, and regarded this place as his home.

After taking a bite of meat and drinking a sip of wine, Zhou Gong felt extraordinarily happy. Unexpectedly, Ning Yue put down the wine glass in his hand and wondered, "Isn't this the wine sold by the Tu family's hotel in Luoyang, how can the royal family also have it?" ”

Although Ning Yue said this as if he was talking to himself, to Zhou Bian's ears, it was no less than a thunderstorm on a sunny day, and he almost threw away the chopsticks in his hand. Tu's surrender to the royal family is very few people know, I didn't think that this cook didn't pay attention, but there was a problem in this joint, and because he didn't drink, he didn't find out first, how can this be good? Tu played a key role in his own plan, and if Zhou Gongsheng was suspicious at this time, he was afraid that his efforts over the past months would be in vain. For a moment, Zhou Bian only felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest, clenched his fists, and couldn't help but have an evil thought in his heart.
