Today, Liu Gang has arranged a banquet in the Shangchun Hall to entertain the angels of the Song Kingdom. Outside the palace of the Han Kingdom, there were already standing full of civil and military ministers of the Han State and some honor guards, crowded, all of them were waiting for a long time, all looking around, and some things in various countries could also be found in the Xingwang Mansion, these officials wanted to know whether His Royal Highness the King of Wei of the Song State was as wise as rumored, and some officials were calculating the gains and losses, comparing the emperors of the two countries, some of them were arrogant.

Gong Chengshu stood at the front, there was some anger in his eyes, and there was some meaning to see people's jokes, he was dressed brightly, dressed in a red robe, and stood in the ranks of hundreds of officials with great force, and now Gong Chengshu is the minister of Zaifu in front of the emperor Liu Gang, and he is also a close attendant, leading the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

Suddenly, the wind rose, the flags on both sides were fluttering, and the chariots and horses of the Song envoys in the distance had also arrived in front of the Mingde Gate, and suddenly from the car stepped down a burly, tall, handsome and extraordinary young man, wearing a long-winged black gauze hat on his head, wearing a red robe with a round neck and wide sleeves, and the courtiers of the Song State who got off the car behind him were some Song courtiers with long winged hats and round-necked wide robes.

The (Southern) Han officials had never seen the long-winged black gauze hat, but they also felt that the Confucian officials were Bodai, and the young man had already walked over, behaved calmly, and stopped in front of Gong Chengshu.

At this moment, when Gong Chengshu saw the young man, he bowed his hand and said: "Xia Guan has seen the angel of the Song Kingdom and the king of Wei Chitose. ”

"Master Gong is well!"

Sure enough, he was young and handsome, and the Han officials thought so in their hearts when they saw King Wei.

……

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Gong Chengshu led the Song delegation to the Shangchun Palace.

The mission entered through the Suzaku Gate and entered the imperial city along with the forbidden army and the marching army of hundreds of officials. (South) Han Emperor pays attention to pomp, at the entrance of the palace a nearly two-meter-high temple base exposed to the ground, with bluestone paved into a pier, after that, is a square, the square is almost as big as the Taihe Palace, the whole palace completely makes Zhao Dezhao feel that the Tang Dynasty legacy still exists, on the steps of the palace, the surface of the brick and stone is a diamond-shaped square, decorated with flying butterflies, the corners are decorated with peonies, and there are many altars like lotus pillars in the distance

If Zhao Dezhao remembers correctly, this palace was burned down by Gong Chengshu and others before Liu Gang surrendered, and the sea of fire spread for three days, and countless gold, silver and jewelry were also turned into ashes. And he didn't want such a palace to be burned down, which was the wisdom and crystallization of the common people.

Shangchun Palace, a luxuriously decorated palace pavilion, the pillar platform is carved with stone, sixteen lions carved on it, because the (Southern) Han Dynasty is rich in pearls, coral and other things, the rulers of the (Southern) Han Dynasty are poor and extravagant, and the rampant expropriation is tyrannical, the palace where they live is decorated with beads and tortoiseshells, which is very magnificent. It's really extravagant, no wonder it will die in the country, Zhao Dezhao scolded fiercely in his heart.

The envoy is now waiting outside the palace, and the palace is also full of ministers from the two countries, and the emperor Liu Gang is delayed, and the envoys of the Song State are already impatient.

Zhao Dezhao is not in a hurry, this Liu Gang must be late and arrive early, it must be a common thing, he acted unconventionally in the past, and he has never come to the Shangchun Palace today, so he must also have a dismount.

The Han officials were there, bowing their heads and whispering, and there was a sound of mosquitoes and flies outside the hall.

Gong Chengshu saw that Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, was silent, and he couldn't see any expression on his face, and he didn't know that this King of Wei's determination was so strong, if he changed to someone else, I am afraid he would have been impatient to wait.

At this time, Dong Zhongyan saw that his Royal Highness was still standing in place expressionlessly, and he was impatient in his heart, and it was not the first time that Liu Gang had been rude, but today he personally ordered to receive the mission, but unexpectedly, during the noon banquet, he had not appeared for a long time. He walked up to Gong Chengshu and said angrily: "Why don't you see the lord of your family coming, don't you want to put me in the Great Song Dynasty and the lower kingdom?" ”

Gong Chengshu looked like a dead pig was not afraid of being hot, "The lower official has already gone to ask, please rest assured, Your Majesty may have something to delay." ”

Gong Chengshu's light cat downplay made Dong Zhongyan more and more angry, and he reprimanded: "Don't you know that the etiquette has come to this point? ”

Gong Chengshu didn't answer, Zhao Dezhao saw the two of them like this, and thought in his heart: Gong Chengshu is a eunuch, he beat his righteous son some time ago, this matter will definitely not be let go like this, but after all, he is the prince of another country, Gong Chengshu is naturally not easy to start, although there is a conspiracy like this today, he must be careful.

Gong Chengshu saw that he was almost having fun, so he asked people to urge.

In June, the weather in the Han Kingdom was very hot, after noon, the sun became more and more intense, the temperature on the pedestal had risen to a high level, and the hot air also made some officials listless and drowsy...... Since Liu Gang doesn't meet again, he can only play the demeanor of a big country.

At this moment, I suddenly heard laughter and laughter around, and I saw a person wearing a jeweled crown and a yellow robe, smiling with his eyebrows, but his eyebrows were clear and beautiful, and he looked like a weak scholar, which really had nothing to do with roughness, and on his left hand and right hand side were followed by many concubines and palace maids of Yingying Yanyan, all of whom were dressed very lightly and breathable, and their gestures showed a sao spirit.

"Your Majesty, you're finally here." Gong Chengshu arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is the angel of the Song Kingdom, the son of the Zhao official family, King Wei Chitose." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Gang turned his head and looked at Gong Chengshu aside, a tall, jade-faced, and personable young man was presented in front of him, and he was as beautiful as himself, but the difference was that the young man Su Ri'an seemed to be peaceful, and there was a faint power of killing soldiers in his bones.

Liu Gang was already stunned, he smiled and said: "I have heard a little from the market, and when I saw it today, it was indeed a dragon and phoenix among people." ”

"Your Majesty praised him falsely" Zhao Dezhao couldn't see a trace of kindness from his full smile, just like a handsome guy looking at another handsome guy praising him for being handsome, he just arched his hand and said, "Why is Your Majesty delayed today, Xiao Wang still thinks Your Majesty is sick?" ”

Liu Gang thought from his words that King Wei would definitely make a difficulty, but he didn't, he laughed and said: "This is my fault, please forgive me!" ”

"It's enough for Your Majesty to understand this." Zhao Dezhao said to Liu Gang, and at the same time he also looked at Liu Gang in front of him.

Liu Gang was also secretly looking at Zhao Dezhao at this time, he suddenly pursed his mouth and smiled, and the surrounding concubines, palace maids and officials were a little stunned when they saw the emperor's expression. And Zhao Dezhao also pursed his lips and smiled, Dong Zhongyan also felt very strange, he thought he was wrong.

Gong Chengshu was stunned, he didn't know why Liu Gang said this, and looking at Liu Gang's meaning, he seemed to have forgotten his proposal with Liu Gang that day, Gong Chengshu suddenly felt that the emperor was unreliable.

"Let's have a feast—" Liu Gang commanded.

"Feast."

In the Shangchun Palace, the important ministers sat down, left and right, Zhao Dezhao and the Song delegation sat at the bottom, there were many delicacies in front of them, the ministers were almost hungry, Liu Gang didn't say anything anymore, and the banquet officially began.

Since ancient times, the banquet has been the same, there is nothing new, and Gong Chengshu is just watching Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, from the sidelines, and has already planned the next things with Liu Gang in his heart.

……

At the end of the banquet, Emperor Liu Gang looked at Zhao Dezhao again, and suddenly he asked to see Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, alone. Zhao Dezhao looked at Liu Gang and happily went to the side hall.

Dong Zhongyan and other envoys of the Song State did not know whether the King of Wei was going to know if there was any danger, they were all over the place in their hearts, and they were eager to go with them, and the emperor summoned the envoys of other countries alone, which was not common at the beginning, but Liu Gang only wanted to see Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, and several of them were not easy to interfere with.

Gong Chengshu saw that Liu Gang summoned Zhao Dezhao alone, and he was secretly happy in his heart, because a few days ago, he suggested to Liu Gang and Junchen that he should "teach a lesson" to Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, and it seemed that His Majesty was also going to make a move.

Zhao Dezhao followed Liu Gang into the side hall, the door of the palace was closed all of a sudden, and Liu Gang sent back the surrounding servants and palace maids.

The door of the hall was closed, but Zhao Dezhao did not look frightened at this moment, he walked over calmly, and Liu Gang also stood aside, as if Zhao Dezhao was a gentleman and Liu Gang was a courtier.

Zhao Dezhao suddenly laughed, looked at Liu Gang, walked past Liu Gang, and whispered in his ear: "You are a second baby, pretending to be like Liu Gang enough." ”

The "Liu Gang" suddenly laughed stupidly, and then bent down and bowed his hand and said: "Your Highness is smiling, pretending to be Liu Gang is really worse than death, this guy is carrying a notorious reputation, and my two babies are about to draw all their strength, but the concubines and palace maids around him, I have to raise all my energy to deal with it." ”

The second baby suddenly returned to his original appearance, he was just the person who Changchun Hall found to pretend to be Liu Gang, the second baby looked like Liu Gang eight * nine points, if it weren't for Zhao Dezhao knowing the life experience of the second baby, he really thought that he was Liu Gang's sibling brother, Fang Cai's vivid performance, even Gong Chengshu and the concubines around Liu Gang couldn't see it, it was excellent. And training the second baby also took Zhao Dezhao's thoughts.

Zhao Dezhao was so tormented by the words of the second baby that he almost vomited blood: "The second baby really did the fake play of those concubines!" ”

The second baby said with a sad face: "This official is really blessed, I can't hold it, if I don't get close to women, others will think that Liu Gang has changed his temper." ”

"Hmm! That's just as well. Zhao Dezhao suddenly laughed, but he still stopped it, he looked at the second baby suspiciously, and said: "Ahh Zhao Dezhao patted the second baby on the shoulder.

"Your Highness, how much time will it take? The second baby can't stand it, if it goes on like this, the second baby will die! ”

"Phew-you kid, you don't know how to be blessed in the blessings, and since this king has arrived in this Xingwang Mansion, naturally all the big and small things are under control, of course it is fast to look like this, and I am afraid that you will be a gangster when the time comes."

The second baby didn't know what a "goof" was, and asked, "Your Highness, what is a goof?" ”

Zhao Dezhao said in a low voice: "It's the meaning of identity leakage, do you understand." That real Liu Gang is locked up in the dungeon anyway, and no one will know about it for a while. ”

The second baby told the matter, and he said worriedly: "Your Highness, that old eunuch once wanted to harm you with Liu Gang that day, Your Highness must be guarded against, or Your Highness will live in the palace." ”

"How can this work? First, it is not in line with etiquette; Second, it makes people suspicious; Third, it is not easy to do things. You pretend to be Liu Gang, and I will have someone send you a letter when the time comes, and Ming has also been here recently, so I can help you. What's more, if there is an abnormality in the protocol house, someone will definitely report the news, so Gong Lao Thief is still relying on your power to do things. ”

The second baby touched his head, "This is also true." ”

He asked again: "Why didn't Your Highness let Liu Gang directly open the city and surrender to my Great Song Dynasty, isn't it very convenient?" ”

"It's a long story, I can't tell you clearly, you won't understand it if you listen to it, this king has explained it almost today, and you can play the role with peace of mind." After Zhao Dezhao finished speaking, he walked out of the side hall.

The second baby didn't ask anymore, he touched his hands and said, "King Wei walks slowly." The second baby resumed the role of Liu Gang again.

At this time, the envoys of the Song State outside the palace also looked at Zhao Dezhao, for fear that something would happen when they entered the deep palace, and when they saw that he was safe and sound, they put their minds at ease.

"It's okay, you're thinking too much." Zhao Dezhao pretended to smile wryly and looked at a large group of officials around him.
