After Su Rui finished answering, the hall fell silent, and all the ministers began to ponder. Seeing that there was nothing to ask Su Rui for www.biquge.info the time being, Zhou Bian thought about it and waved his hand to let him go down and rest first.

After Su Rui left, Zhou Bian smiled and asked, "According to Su Rui's answer just now, do you think this Su Rui really votes for my royal family?" ”

Suddenly, more than ten ministers quarreled, each holding what they saw, and they were arguing, but in the end, no one persuaded anyone, let alone came up with a consistent answer.

After a long time, Zhou Bian clapped his hands, "Everyone, no matter what, this king will not agree to go out of the city to attack the Han army, after all, we don't need it." As for whether Su Rui really surrendered, whether he was sincere or not, this king has a way to make him sincere, just wait for the next time the Han army comes again, you will see. ”

In fact, almost all the ministers present were skeptical of this, because if Su Rui did not really vote, then this series of arrangements can only show that this person is loyal to South Korea, how can such a person easily change his degree? However, out of full trust in the king and the maintenance of the dignity of the Son of Heaven, no one present objected or raised questions, and this small-scale meeting organized for the sake of a Korean general came to an end.

After a simple dinner, while it was still dark, Zhou Bian called a cadre of guards and walked to the front palace. Yes, today Su Rui inadvertently mentioned the Mo family, which reminded Zhou Bian of those Mo family children who were still locked up in the city.

When I first learned that the Han army was going to invade Luoyang, there were more than a dozen children of the Mo family who made trouble in Xicheng, claiming that the royal family would not be able to hold Luoyang without their help, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Luoyang soldiers at that time, and caused friction, and was arrested by Ning Yue Yilu, first locked up in the backyard of the Supervision Division, and then the Supervision Department was understaffed, so it was locked up in a small courtyard in the front palace. During this period, Zhou Bian only asked Ning Yue a few times, but fortunately, these Mo family disciples were still honest, and they didn't make trouble anymore after being locked up here, but stayed in the courtyard obediently.

As the sun set, we walked southward, and in a short time we came to the small houses on the southernmost sides of the palace. This palace is actually quite large, the front palace and ** are empty a lot of empty houses, the front palace is densely packed with small courtyards, in the past, there were some attendants and temples and the like to live or ministers to work, and now there are naturally not so many palace people in the palace, and they can't work so much land, so many houses have been diverted for other purposes, such as detaining some important guests who can't be too slow, of course, this is also for the convenience of care.

At this time, the dozen or so Mo family disciples were locked up in an inconspicuous small courtyard, for their safety, and in order to prevent them from escaping out and doing something, there were thirty people in this small courtyard who took turns to change guards day and night, although this number was not much, but they were only guarded in turn, you must know that this is in the palace, and a casual shout can attract a lot of palace guards, so these people are enough.

This will be past the time of dinner, it is the shift time, six more people came, and soon the six people who were replaced went back to the camp to rest, these six palace guards checked the number of the Mo family's children, and immediately stood open according to the old pattern, two gates, two in the front yard, and two in the back yard, each responsible for their own piece, it was enough to take care of the small hall in the middle of the small courtyard.

The night was long, but fortunately they were still full for dinner, but they had to stand for two hours before it was the turn of the next group of people to change the guard. The night watch in the palace is stricter than on the outer city walls, and the discipline of these palace guards is also stricter, so no one will sleep at night, but when you are bored, you can still chat and pass the time.

But he didn't expect that the two people standing at the gate today had just chatted when they saw a team of samurai rushing over. In the royal palace, these guards on night duty, especially this kind of guard, who are not of a very high level, are not of high rank, so as soon as they saw a large group of soldiers of the royal palace coming, they immediately knelt down on one knee to greet them.

However, this team of personal guards just walked to the front silently, and then divided on both sides, and a young man came out in the middle, and a crisp voice sounded in the twilight, "You have worked hard, are you the children of the Mo family who are guarding?" ”

I didn't think much about it for a while, and one of the two guards guarding the door replied, "Lord Hui, this is indeed the Mo family disciple who guards, arranged by Dr. Ning and General Zichang, and the small ones are divided into several teams and monitored day and night, but they don't make any movement, except for the occasional walk around the yard, they basically stay in the house the rest of the time." ”

"Well, that's good." Zhou Bian nodded, this answer is quite satisfactory. "Can you let this king into the courtyard?"

"Back to my lord, this is an order from General Zichang, unless there is a warrant from the general or the doctor, the rest of the people are not allowed to enter casually, I don't know if the lord has it?" Speaking of this, the guard remembered something, looked up, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh, it's the king here, no wonder he called himself the king just now, the villain didn't care, please forgive the king!" ”

As he spoke, the two guards kowtowed together.

Zhou Bian naturally didn't care, and after letting Fan Yu step forward to help him up, Zhou Bian smiled and said, "Can this king go in?" ”

The guard was still a little stunned, although he was a palace guard, and he had seen this young man from afar, but it was the first time to talk face-to-face, so excitement was inevitable.

After holding it for a while, the guard replied with some hesitation, "If the king wants to go in, it is naturally possible." Do you want the villain to go in first and call out those people from the Mo family to greet the king? ”

"It doesn't have to be. Lead the way. ”

The guard naturally didn't dare to walk in front of the king, and invited the king into the courtyard sideways, only to find that the young man had only brought four bodyguards.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can see a small hall in the middle of the courtyard, which is still some distance from the wall on all sides, and it is indeed a good place for caretakers. There were also two palace guards in the courtyard, and when they saw someone outside, they greeted them, and they were signaled by their companions that this was the queen, and they knelt down and immediately wanted to pay respects, but they were stopped by the king waving his hand.

But he saw the king go straight to the great hall, and approached the door of a temple where light came out, and listened.

It turned out that as soon as Zhou Bian approached the small courtyard, he heard a quarrel coming from the house, and even if he decided to give up going directly to the door, but eavesdropping, anyway, it was not the first time for Zhou Bian to eavesdrop on this matter.

The people in the hall apparently did not sense that anyone outside was approaching, but still quarreled fiercely. This will be a thick voice, "Xu Weak, we have been locked up here for so many days, all because of your arrogance, we were sent by Juzi to help the Zhou Room, but how can we do nothing here?" ”

Immediately after that, another somewhat sharp voice also sounded, "That's it, not to mention that we didn't fulfill Juzi's request, even if we have been locked up in this small courtyard for a month, we are about to suffocate people." You just let someone go and talk to the king of the Zhou room, admit that we were really arrogant when we first entered the city, and the voice is not over, and he Zhou Room is willing to use it if he wants to use it, and if he doesn't want to use it, it is better than being locked up here. ”

At this time, another deep voice sounded, "Don't quarrel anymore, being locked up here, no one wants to, Xu Miao is the leader of me waiting for this time, this is what Juzi ordered before leaving, do you want to disobey Juzi's order?" How to do it, Xu Miao must have an arrangement, is it meaningful to wait for such a quarrel every day? ”

Hearing that Zhou Bian's curiosity outside the house was also aroused, since they all came to eavesdrop, then make the eavesdropping more thorough, so Zhou Bian stretched out his hand and motioned Fan Yu to take out a small dagger, and gently cut a small slit in the gauze on the pane, which is not paper, so it is naturally impossible to poke a small hole with saliva.

Zhou Bian looked inside through the small slit, it turned out that this was a small hut, with an oil lamp burning in the middle, and six men in black were sitting around, with a young man in the middle, and on both sides were a thin man, a fat man, a beard, a goatee and a round cake face. All six of them sat cross-legged and barefoot, both of which seemed out of place in this day and age.

And the deep voice just now was made by the big beard.

However, after the bearded man finished speaking, the scene cooled down, and it seemed that moving out of the juzi was quite effective.

After a while, someone still couldn't help but speak, it was the thin man, "Actually, I think Juzi is a little wrong this time, although the king of the Zhou royal family is young, he has heard that he is a wise lord, and he is very shrewd, even if I am a minister under him, it is difficult to say that it is difficult to move him, when today, all countries are easy to change the law, my Mo family is already struggling, in this Zhou royal family, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve the goal." This man spoke in a high pitch, and it was clear that he was not the one who had spoken earlier.

The bearded man suddenly became angry, "Are you questioning my Mojia doctrine?" Mozi is still here, you will talk like this, and when I go home to show Juzi, I will definitely punish you. ”

The thin man immediately softened, and said in a low voice, "I'm not questioning, but just the facts, I just think that my Mo family should not choose the Zhou room when they go out of the mountain this time, I thought that our biggest reliance was to help the Zhou family defend the city, but I didn't think that more than a month has passed, Luoyang is still stable, and the Zhou royal family is stronger than we imagined. ”

There was another silence, and after half a sound, the young man in the center spoke. "We were wrong, we were wrong in the first place."

The bearded man became anxious, "Xu weak, you can't say that, this time out of the mountain is a strategy set by Juzi, losing our assistance, it is the loss of that Zhou room, although they hold on for a month, but a lonely city, how long can it last?" If you endure it any longer, maybe tomorrow Zhou will not be able to support it, so Zhou Jun will personally come to ask me and others to help. At that time, they will know the importance of my Mo family, and they may rely on my Mo family even more. ”

Hearing them call themselves Zhou Jun, Zhou Bian didn't feel anything, but when he heard this, how could he not understand the thoughts of this group of Mo families, it turned out that he wanted to help the royal family defend the city to get reused, and then become important ministers, and then use the power of the royal family to achieve the Mo family's own wishes, Zhou Bian couldn't help but snort, if your Mo family is useful, you will use it, if it is not useful, then don't blame me The royal family does not attach importance to your Mo family's reputation.

But I heard the young man named Xu Wan continue, "One month is enough, South Korea is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and Han Hou can only insist on besieging the city for a month, no matter how long it is, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of troops on the Korean border, and the Korean army outside Luoyang City will retreat." It will definitely not take more than a month and a half, and the South Korean army will retreat. So we were indeed wrong, at the beginning it was wrong to advertise in the city that only my Mo family could help the Zhou family defend the city, Juzi was afraid and did not expect that the ten-year-old boy Tianzi would have such great prestige in Luoyang City, even ordinary soldiers could not listen to our words to promote the Mo family, in their eyes, their king would definitely be able to defeat the Han army. This was something we didn't expect in advance. ”

"And obviously, their trust is not false, Zhou Room did hold on alone for more than a month, when I was just locked up, I still stubbornly thought that Zhou Room was just arrogant, and when they couldn't withstand the attack of the Han Army, they would naturally think of us, and at that time, if we helped Zhou Room defeat the Han Army, I was afraid that Zhou Room would value us more, so I asked everyone to wait patiently, I didn't think that this wait was more than a month, Luoyang is still strong, so, I was wrong, I was tired of everyone."

"Don't say that, Xu Weak, you are a disciple of Juzi, and you are pinned on by Juzi, let's wait. Even if we don't get the attention of the Zhou Room in the end, we won't blame you. ”

"Hehe, what you said is a bit excessive, my Mo family pays attention to facts, and now this is the case. I have also figured it out, no longer waiting for Zhou Jun to invite, tomorrow I will explain to those warriors outside the door, I ask to see the king of the Zhou family, I believe that with my knowledge, we still have a chance to stand firm in the royal family. Xu Miao turned his head and smiled confidently, just in the dim light he was being watched by the peeping people outside the house.

It turned out that Xu Miao was only in his twenties, but he was confident, although he had been locked up for many days, but the smile on his face was still bright at the moment, or sunshine, for a while, Zhou Bian was also slightly attracted.

"Xu weak, do you really want to be like this? After all, Juzi's strategy was to let Zhou Jun invite us, not us to ask them. The bearded man was even more anxious.

By this time, Zhou Bian had already turned around and didn't want to listen anymore. Indeed, the key places have been heard, and there is no point in listening to it, and today is really a coincidence, as soon as I came, I heard a key scene, and Zhou Bian knew everything he wanted to know. However, Zhou Bian doesn't think that this is a child of the Mo family acting, after all, how can acting damage himself?

So Zhou Bian gestured lightly, and a few people left quietly.

The guard went straight to the gate of the small courtyard, but saw the king turn around and instructed, "After dawn tomorrow, I can tell them the news that this king, well, that is, Zhou Jun in their mouths, has come here." ”

After saying that, Zhou Bian led the team to leave quickly, leaving only the four palace guards who were still in a daze.

After a long while, it was already completely dark, but it was still early to go to bed, the summer night was cool, Zhou Bian's steps were also slowing down, I didn't think that he had just walked to the big square in front of Mingtang, but he saw a small courtyard in the distance in front of him casting a little light, which was particularly dazzling in this dark night. Thinking about it slightly, Zhou Bian remembered that it was where Shen Bufa worked in the palace, and these days Shen Bufa and the carpenters of the royal family have been busy repairing catapults on the front line, why is there still light here, and with curiosity, Zhou Bian raised his feet and walked there.
