Gongsun continued to accept the generals and asked to be transferred to the Liaodong Shu Kingdom. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info although it is not far from Xiangping, the fast horse can be reached in one day. But Gongsun Gong was still not at ease, so he only asked Gongsun to continue to push that the New Year was approaching, and now he was afraid that the grass would not grow, the grain would not be even, and the weather would be cold, so it was better to send someone to build the camp first, and it would not be too late to do it in the spring of the next year.

Although Gongsun Kang was reluctant, he did not dwell on this matter.

This day is approaching the end of the month, and every household is beginning to prepare for the New Year. Taishou Fuzhong is no exception, Gongsun Du will have a large banquet every year, banquet Liaodong civil and military officials, and the officials will present gifts to Gongsun Dujin. Gongsun Gong was in the mansion to choose a gift for his father Gongsun Du, but suddenly heard a report from Menzi that the Taishou Mansion Army Marquis Ma Tai was coming.

When Gongsun Gong heard this, he hurriedly asked.

Mattei came in and said, "My lord, I saw three doctors hurrying into the house today, and they didn't come out after a few hours. Just now, the eldest prince Gongsun Kang also entered the house, and I didn't dare to delay here, so I immediately rushed to report to the lord that I learned. ”

Gongsun Gong said: "When did this happen, did such a thing happen before?" ”

Ma Tai said: "The doctor entered the mansion today, and the eldest prince entered the mansion at the time of You. I wasn't on duty yesterday, but I heard from the guard that I had called a doctor yesterday, but I seemed to be fine, so I looked at it and left. ”

Gongsun Gong thanked him, took out fifty taels of silver and gave it to Ma Tai, so that he could still go back to duty and inform him at any time if there was any situation.

Gongsun Gong originally wanted to order someone to invite Gongsun Xu and Tian Jing to come over, but he was worried about delaying time. So he simply rode directly to Gongsun Xu's military camp.

Gongsun Xu and Tian Jing were also stunned when they saw Gongsun Gong coming, and hurriedly asked what happened?

Gongsun Gong told all the information reported by Ma Tailai today, and Tian Jing was also stunned, he didn't expect things to develop so quickly. Tian Jingyan said: "Now that the matter is urgent, I am afraid that Lord Taishou will have a disaster." Even if there is nothing to do, I am afraid that we will not be able to see things for a while, and if Gongsun Kang takes action, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to deal with it. Now there are a few urgent matters, and the adults can order someone to wait outside the mansion, and once the doctor comes out, please go to the adult's mansion immediately to understand the situation. Second, let the chief bookkeeper Lu Yu pretend to have something to do and go into the house to inquire about the situation. Third, let our people be ready and ready at any time, and if something happens, we can immediately mobilize people and horses to fight for the city gate and control the situation in the city. Fourth, Gongsun Xu was waiting in the army, and I took ten servants to return to the house with Gongsun Gong and act at the opportunity. ”

Gongsun Gong felt a little more relieved after hearing this.

Before Tian Jing left, he asked the military advisor Xu Shu to rush to Yangle, and then sent someone to contact Zhang Liao and others in Youzhou to act at the opportunity.

Tian Jing took ten guards out of the house, and Lu Wen also had to accompany him. Tian Jing was inconvenient to stop him, so he took Lu Wen with him. After Gongsun Gong returned home, he walked around repeatedly like an ant on a hot pot. Tian Jing sat in the house and drank tea, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Early the next morning, Lu Yu came to see him. Gongsun Gong please.

Lu Yu said, "My lord, I rushed to the Taishou Mansion early in the morning to report the confidential matter. In front, the guards were fighting, and then I said that there was something important to report at the border gate, so I was allowed to enter the house. But I didn't see the Taishou, who pulled the curtain in front of the bed, and there was a doctor behind him. I smell a very strong smell of medicine in the house. I said that there seemed to be an abnormality in the Wuhuan side of Youzhou, and it took a long time for the Taishou Lord to speak, 'I only said that I would act cheaply with the Changshi Gongsun Kang leading the troops', the voice was very similar, and the middle qi was insufficient, but it was difficult to distinguish. But I deliberately said a sentence Yang Le Sun Lang asked for permission to go out to meet the enemy? Lord Taishou only said no, but he didn't find a problem, because Sun Lang was the last defender, and now the guard is Xu Liang. So the subordinates suspect that this person is not too guarded himself. ”

Gongsun Gong was also stunned when he heard this, "You suspect that it is someone else who is speaking." ”

Lu Yu said: "Exactly, the subordinates are indeed so suspicious. ”

Tian Jing said on the side: "My lord, I am afraid that the current situation is very unfavorable for us. Regardless of whether Lord Taishou is unconscious or has passed away, I am afraid that the situation has been controlled by Gongsun Kang. ”

Gongsun Gong said, "Then what should we do?" ”

At this moment, someone reported that the Taishou Mansion sent someone to deliver an order. The person who came, Gongsun Gong, knew him, but he was in charge of the house. The steward said, "Lord Taishou ordered a banquet in the Taishou Mansion this evening to celebrate the New Year in advance and reward officials at all levels. Lord Taishou specially asked the villain to inform the second son. ”

Gongsun Gong said: "In previous years, it was celebrated on the first day of the new year, but this year it was advanced. “

The steward said: "Lord Taishou should fast and bathe on the first day of the new year and worship the Taoist." ”

Gongsun Gong said: "This was personally ordered by Lord Taishou. ”

The steward said: "It's not, it was Steward He of the Inner Courtyard who explained it to us one by one after meeting Lord Taishou." ”

Gongsun Gong said: "Then I know about this matter, I will go to the mansion today, you go back to restore your life." ”

As soon as the steward left, Gongsun Gong said to Tian Jing, "Wang Sima, this matter is very strange. Lu Yu has just visited the patient, and his father is in good health and wants to invite a banquet? ”

Tian Jing said: "My lord's expectations are not bad, but I am afraid that there will be no good banquet, by the way, the housekeeper of the inner courtyard is surnamed He, and the captain of the building boat, He Sheng, is also surnamed He, are these two related?" ”

Gongsun Gong said, "When the general said this, I remembered that this Steward He and He Sheng are relatives from afar. ”

Tian Jing said, "In this way, I am afraid that the matter will be determined, but I am afraid that Gongsun Kang deliberately introduced the Taoist priest to teach the Taishou Lord to take pills, and now the adult is not in good health, I am afraid that this Gongsun Kang is trying to seize power in advance." Today, I am afraid that it will be all fish and meat on his chopping board, and when the time comes, I will have to listen to him, and if I don't listen to him, I will have to listen to him. ”

Gongsun Gong said anxiously: "How is that good?" “

Tian Jing said: "It's okay, now we know about Gongsun Kang's conspiracy, but Gongsun Kang doesn't know our plan. Thinking that he should ambush a lot of soldiers and horses in the mansion today, but this Xiangping City, I'm afraid that he can't imagine that there will be any changes. The adult can send an order to General Gongsun Xu, and today you will lead the troops into the city with the Taishou warrant, and take the opportunity to control the city defense of the four gates of Xiangping. If you don't know about it, just take it, and if it is the one who resists, it must be Gongsun Kang's party, and you can't be killed. After entering the city, let General Gongsun Xu divide two troops and horses to surround Gongsun Kang's mansion and He Sheng's mansion, and not release a single person. Then General Gongsun Xu led 1,000 men and horses to surround the Taishou Mansion, and when the time came, General Ma Tai responded and led the troops into the palace to control the situation. ”

Gongsun Gong said, "This is a conspiracy, if we can't guess accurately, my father is fine, I'm just afraid of ......."

Tian Jing said: "My lord, don't hesitate, now I am eighty percent sure that the Taishou Tairen has been controlled by others, and tonight is Gongsun Kang's Hongmen banquet." The so-called judgment is constantly subject to chaos. Even if we guess wrong, if we say it wrong, we will be wrong, so why not kill Gongsun Kang, a rebel son? ”

Gongsun Gong listened to it and slapped his thigh, "That's it, I'll listen to you today." It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, so I'll give the order. By the way, then we have to enter the mansion, and once I am controlled by Gongsun Kang, it will be useless to have more soldiers and horses? ”

Tian Jing said: "If the adults don't go, can Gongsun Kang let the adults go, when the time comes, we will be more passive when we send a group of soldiers and horses to surround the gate of the mansion." I went here to press his heart, rest assured, with my personal protection, no one can hurt you. I also have a female general under my command, called Lu Mei (but it is a fake name for Lu Wen), this person is good at singing and dancing and swordsmanship, adults only need to take her to the banquet in the house to perform singing and dancing, and let her take the opportunity to control Gongsun Kang, this situation is under our control. ”

Gongsun Gong said, "I'm afraid that this plan is too dangerous?" ”

Tian Jing said, "Even if we bring more people, we are afraid that Gongsun Kang will not let them into the mansion, only the three of us will go, and the danger will be dangerous, but it is an opportunity." Don't worry, adults don't have to worry, everything is there for Wang, and the adults are sure to be thorough. ”

Gongsun Gong made up his mind. first sent someone to pass the order to Gongsun Xu, and then quietly wore a pair of talisman gold silk in the back house, and then put on the court clothes and walked with Tian Jing, and rushed to the Taishou Mansion with gifts.

Outside the mansion, the investigation was really strict, and none of the family guards who had anything to do with it could not enter the mansion, and even Gongsun Gong and Tian Jing were searched and could not bring weapons into the mansion. Today, Lu Wen dressed up as a dancer and entered the house with the guqin in her arms, and the guards checked the guqin before letting her in, but they didn't know that Lu Wen's belt was a soft sword.

At three o'clock in the unitary time, the main officials of Liaodong had arrived. Gongsun Gong saw that all the officials were coming, and only He Sheng, the captain of the building, was missing, so he told Tian Jing. Tian Jing said: "It seems that the person in ambush in this mansion must be commanded by He Sheng." ”

The officials waited for a long time and did not see Gongsun Du come out, and then Gongsun Kang came out of the back hall. gave a salute to the officials, "My father is slightly ill today, let me greet you first." Now that all the officials have arrived, you can raise a glass to wish the New Year together! ”

Gongsun Gong said: "Since my father is in poor health, should we go to the back hall to visit the Taishou first, right?" ”

Lu Yu immediately chimed in.

Gongsun Kang saw that it was difficult to control, so he said, "You don't need to worry. My father said that as long as you take a short break, you can see everyone for a while. Why don't we drink the wine in our glass first? ”

Tian Jing saw that Gongsun Kang blindly persuaded him to drink, and he was suspicious in his heart, so he raised his head to drink with the sleeves of his robe, but poured all the wine into the sleeves of his robe.

Gongsun Kang seemed to have inadvertently looked at Tian Jing and said, "What is the future of the new cavalry captain General Gongsun Xu?" ”

Tian Jing hugged his fists and said, "Lord Qiqi Changshi, General Gongsun Xu has just arrived in Liaodong and is not accustomed to the water and soil, and now he has typhoid fever and is resting in the mansion, so I specially let the lower officials come instead of him." ”

Gongsun Kang said: "In this case, the wine of the New Year must be drunk, and the general can drink another cup for General Gongsun Xu." ”

Tian Jingxin said, this is a clear indication that I am not worried about me. Dafang Fang picked up the wine glass on the table, and Lu Yu next to him saw it clearly, and pretended to miss and knocked over Tian Jing's wine glass.

Although Gongsun Kang was unhappy in his heart, he was not good at attacking. Then he said to everyone present, "I invite you to come today, first, to congratulate the New Year. The other one is that there are some important things to discuss with you. ”
