Chapter 342: The Death of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang (3)
After Liu Wuzhou bathed and dressed up again, he sat in front of Wang Xuanying again, and after Wang Xuanying also bathed and changed clothes, he set up a table of wine to entertain Liu Wuzhou:
"Oops! I'm sorry, this palace has been waiting for King Dingyang lately. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm really embarrassed.,Ah! Please ask the King of Dingyang to drink this cup, and the matter will be revealed. Liu Wuzhou sensed a turning point from Wang Xuanying's attitude. After drinking the wine handed over by Wang Xuanying, he immediately asked Wang Xuanying:
"Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? I don't know when the Holy One will see me? Wang Xuanying smiled:
"King Dingyang, don't worry. Before meeting his father, there were still some things in the palace that he wanted to discuss with King Dingyang. Liu Wuzhou said in his heart: "I know that you will not agree easily. Forget it, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Big deal, send more gold and silver. Beauty or something. But I still don't dare to refute it:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please speak." Wang Xuanying glanced at Du Zhenglun, and Du Zhenglun took out a volume of documents.
"In Xia Du Zhenglun, he is now studying in the East Palace. This is a treaty drafted by the decree of the crown prince, please look at it by King Dingyang. Liu Wuzhou was shocked when he took the document and looked at it:
"What? After you help Ben Khan recover, in addition to asking Xia Ben Khan to cede Xia County, Jinzhou, and Jiexiu, you also want Ben Khan to give 30,000 catties of iron ore every year. That's too much, isn't it? "At that time, the iron ore output in the entire Hedong area was only more than 40,000 catties per year, and mining disasters were frequent, basically taking human lives to fill in. In addition, Xia County, Jinzhou, Jiexiu and other places are all iron ore fields, which have been ceded out, plus 40,000 catties of iron ore per year. It's a fantasy.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Ben Khan thanks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his help, but this condition is not ......"
"What King Dingyang wants to say is whether it is too harsh. Hahaha! King Dingyang, you now have no soldiers, and there is no land. Think about it. It's not an exaggeration to say you're a beggar. Besides, as far as I know, at the beginning, the area around Jinzhou and Jiexiu had already become the fiefdom of Song Jingang, and you had never occupied Xia County at all. It has always been the two brothers Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue who are guarding the town. It has nothing to do with you, King Dingyang. Now, I, Da Zheng, am willing to send troops to help you regain your lost territory. You're still pushing. If you don't want to, that's fine. Someone! ”
"In!" I saw more than a dozen sturdy soldiers walking in.
"Take off the man's head. Packed it in a brocade box and gave it to Li Tang. Bengong believes that Li Tang will definitely like this gift from Bengong. When Liu Wu heard that Wang Xuanying was going to kill himself, he immediately picked up the wine jug on the table and attacked Wang Xuanying. As a result, Liu Wuzhou just stood up. I felt that my body was very weak and I had no strength. Wang Xuanying laughed and said:
"Hahaha! Did King Dingyang feel that his body was very soft and embarrassed. Bengong knew that the king of Dingyang would not be easy to comply, so he added some soft tendons to the wine that the king of Dingyang drank, not afraid of the jokes of the king of Dingyang, this kind of thing, this kind of thing is generally only used on disobedient beauties, and it is the first time to use it on men! Hahaha! Taking advantage of the opportunity, the guards immediately captured Liu Wuzhou. Wang Xuanying walked in front of Liu Wuzhou and took out the contract document.
"Sign it! As long as you sign it, the palace will give you the antidote immediately, and take you to see your father. If you don't sign it, you'll die right away. Liu Wuzhou had no choice but to sign his name with his trembling hand. Subsequently, under Wang Xuanying's arrangement, Liu Wuzhou met Wang Shichong.
"Oops! Brother Wu Zhou! Long time no see. Do you know? Ever since I heard that you were defeated and died. I wash my face with tears all day long! Now that my brother is safe, I am very happy! "If you are an outsider, you will definitely think that the relationship between Wang Shichong and Liu Wuzhou is unusual and very close. In fact, Liu Wuzhou and Wang Shichong both knew in their hearts that as long as they had the opportunity, they would never let each other go if they didn't eat each other. 4
"By the way, I heard that Brother Wu Zhou was a guest in the Dog Mansion, I don't know if the dog is a little neglectful?" Liu Wuzhou glanced at Wang Xuanying meaningfully:
"Ahh His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was hospitable and courteous. Brother Shichong's family style is rigorous, which is really enviable! ”
"Where, where?" After greeting politely, Liu Wuzhou stepped into the topic:
"Brother Shichong, now that you have agreed to all your conditions, I only ask you to be able to fund Ben Khan to go to the Turks, and after Ben Khan communicates with the Turkic Jieli Khan, he will immediately return to Mayi and contact the old department, and His Majesty only needs to take advantage of the situation to march into the army at that time, and he will be able to defeat Li Tang." Wang Shichong deliberately pretended to hesitate, and Liu Wuzhou continued:
"Your Majesty! I have signed a contract with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! As long as Your Majesty helps me to do it. At that time, in addition to iron ore and beauties, Xia County, Jinzhou, Jiexiu and other places in the south of Shanxi will all belong to your country! ”
"Alright! This matter will be discussed here first, and please prepare it for King Rongzhen of Dingyang. ”
"Yes! Retire! After Liu Wuzhou left, Wang Shichong stared at Wang Xuanying, and his deep eyes revealed sternness, which made Wang Xuanying feel a trace of fear:
"The son is good at making claims, please ask my father to forgive his sins!"
"Xuanying! Tell me what happened! ”
"Yes! Father. After getting the hint from his father, the son first put Liu Wuzhou under house arrest, and after Liu Wuzhou ran out of sharpness, he said to ......" Wang Xuanying said to Wang Shichong carefully, and also deliberately told the story, so that the plot came and went, speaking of the highlights, Wang Shichong was very excited, and applauded:
"Good! The amount is small, not a gentleman, non-toxic and not a husband! Xuanying! Through this incident, my father found that you have grown up a lot! As soon as Wang Xuanying heard Wang Shichong praise him, he was immediately excited, and his two eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Thank you for your father's praise, all of this is taught by my father!"
"Hahaha! Don't be proud of your achievements! Well! Very good! After Wang Shichong calmed down, he asked Wang Xuanying again:
"Xuanying! Although you have made a treaty with Liu Wuzhou, have you thought about it, what if Liu Wuzhou does not admit it at that time? ”
"Father! Erchen had already thought that in fact, we only funded Liu Wuzhou this time to open up the relationship with the Turkic Jieli Khan. Our dynasty seized Luoyang, which has been deep in the interior of the Central Plains, surrounded by other separatist forces, and its biggest weakness is that it has no contact with the Turkic barbarians in the northern part of the country, and lacks good horse breeds as war horses to form high-quality cavalry. Originally, the father hoped to use Zuo Youxian as a medium to contact the Turks, but since the failure of the Qingyan Alliance, Zuo Youxian has also disappeared. So Erchen thought. Escorting Liu Wuzhou to the Turks was my last chance. As long as we see Jieli Khan, Liu Wuzhou's life or death has nothing to do with us at all. Wang Shichong cast an approving glance at Wang Xuanying. Wang Xuanying continued:
"Father! Erchen has another thing to play:"
"Speak!"
"Erchen thinks! Regardless of whether Liu Wuzhou's trip to the Turks was successful or not in the future. Li Tang's next military action is very likely to be aimed at our DPRK! Therefore, Erchen hoped to send his cousin Wang Renze to Qilu Leshou and ask Dou Jiande to send troops to assist when our dynasty clashed with Li Tang. "As soon as I heard that Wang Xuanying should recommend Wang Renze. Wang Shichong felt strange in his heart - didn't Xuan Ying always deal with Renze? How?
"Xuanying! Don't you dislike Wang Renze the most? Why do you recommend Wang Renze again now? Wang Shichong's eyes were full of suspicion. Wang Xuanying seemed to feel very aggrieved and knelt in front of Wang Shichong:
"Father! The saint has a cloud: the internal move does not avoid relatives, the external move does not avoid hatred, the son's loyalty to Da Zheng is visible in heaven and earth! If you suspect your son, please remove him from the position of prince. But even if the son does not become the prince, he will do his part for the great Zheng world and the safety of his father. Father! Seeing Wang Xuanying's crying, Wang Shichong's heart slowly softened - after all, it was his own son, would he still hurt himself? Wang Shichong comforted himself:
"Xuanying! You get up first! ”
"Thank you, Father!" After Wang Shichong helped Wang Xuanying up, he wiped away the tears on Wang Xuanying's face like an ordinary father.
"Xuanying! My father felt that he was really old. Perhaps, in the future, this big Zheng Jiangshan will be handed over to you sooner or later. Do a good job! In addition, the person who accompanied Liu Wuzhou to the Turks must be reliable! ”
"Yes! Father! Erchen must carefully choose the right person. When Wang Xuanying returned to the East Palace, Du Zhenglun saw Wang Xuanying with a happy face. knew that Wang Xuanying must have received it
Wang Shichong's praise:
"Your Highness! How's it going? ”
"Someone! Bring wine to Hongu! Seeing Wang Xuanying's reaction, Du Zhenglun had already got his own answer.
"Come on! Drink! ”
"Your Highness,!"
"Ahh Joyfully! It's a pleasure! Zhenglun, you know what? Father, he praised me! I've grown so big, it's the first time my father has praised me like this. ”
"Your Highness! Then did Your Majesty approve of the matter of recommending Wang Renze to Qilu to King Renze? ”
Of course, my father approved. Zhenglun, this palace doesn't understand, why let Wang Renze send Dou Jiande there? ”
"Your Highness! Think about it! When Li Tang's soldiers came to the city, Luoyang's troops were in danger, and Wang Ren had strong reinforcements, what do you think His Majesty would think of Wang Ren? Doesn't it raise suspicions? ”
"Then when I make some slanderous rumors in front of my father, my father will be alienated from Wang Renze, and even kill him."
"And, Your Highness! Wang Ren was alienated and even killed by His Majesty. And His Majesty has repeatedly resorted to stupid tricks and indiscriminately killed loyal ministers. Outside, there are strong enemies peeking again. Who do you think Luoyang's imperial ministers will support? ”
"But is there still a single Xiongxin? He's a diehard loyalist of his father! ”
"It's a pity that Shan Xiongxin is only the son-in-law of the Wang family, not surnamed Wang."
"Yes! If I had listened to me earlier and formed an alliance with Li Tang, maybe the situation in our Luoyang would not be so difficult now. Ha ha! Zhenglun! After the palace ascends the throne, I will make you the chief prime minister! Looking at Wang Xuanying's innocent appearance, Du Zhenglun sighed in his heart - what an innocent child.
