Chapter 57 Unexpected Encounters IV
The three-day appointment is coming soon, the lights inside and outside the Lu Mansion are colorful, the people go in and out, outsiders only know that the Shangshu Mansion is doing a happy event, but there are only a few dozen guests who visit, which is diametrically opposed to the scene of Lu Luoyang's Shoumen Ting Ruo City in previous years. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info [Latest Chapter Reading] What's even more strange is that when it was almost noon, the Lu Mansion actually closed the door, and there was no noise and laughter in the courtyard.
At this time, more than ten people in the hall of Lu Mansion sat around a table, and the people present were all veterans and important ministers of the imperial court, although the table was also a list of cups and plates, but no one ate and drank, and there was silence in the hall, Lu Luoyang had just told everyone present about his thoughts and the situation of King Guangping now, hoping that everyone could discuss a proper countermeasure. Fu Mei is in the upper seat, his eyebrows are locked, his face is full of solemnity, Lu Luoyang's words are not unreasonable, today's Fu Chang is no longer the ignorant and unknown little Wang brother when he was a teenager, where can the high Fu Chang accommodate the high Gong Gao cover the master's Fu Mei, Fu Mei's mood is very chaotic, and he has no clue where to go.
At this time, Deng Qiang, the general of Jianjie, broke the silence and said to Fu Mei: "The last general has an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" "Deng Qiang is both civil and military, proficient in the art of war, and can also be said to be a member of the Great Qin Confucian general.
Fu Mei looked at Deng Qiang and asked, "Everyone here today is loyal to the imperial court, what does the general think, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”
Deng Qiang nodded and continued: "Your Highness, your lords, the last general is a martial artist, and he has a straightforward personality, so he can say whatever he thinks, and please don't care about the two highnesses and you if it is inappropriate." Everyone didn't speak, they all looked at Deng Qiang, Deng Qiang paused and continued: "If there is no way today, the killing is too heavy, the courtiers are all in danger, the people are complaining, the situation is precarious, if you don't make a decision as soon as possible, everyone here doesn't know that there will be less that tomorrow, I don't know if the general is right?" Deng Qiang said this, some people nodded their heads, some shook their heads and sighed, Deng Qiang continued: "In this case, why can't we change the sky, since the faint king is hopeless, why don't we support the new master?" ”
As soon as Deng Qiang's voice fell, one person chimed in: "What General Deng said is extremely true, since ancient times, there have been countless things that are easy to faint with virtue, since the ancients can do it, we can also do it, maybe this move can also make us leave a long history." The others nodded frequently.
Seeing this situation, Lu Luoyang got up and said: "It seems that the position is the same, and the next thing is how to ......" Lu Luoyang wanted to say that the next step was to discuss how to act specifically, but before he could say the next words, he was interrupted by a loud "bang", Lu Luoyang was about to ask his subordinates what happened, when he saw a subordinate running in with a rolling belt, and said breathlessly: "Master, hurry, hurry, heaven, the Son of Heaven is here!" ”
Lu Luoyang heard a "buzz" in his head, and the other people present were also panicked, and they all stood up at once, and even a few generals were ready to draw their swords and go out desperately. If you want to say that at the critical moment, Fu Jiang was calm, and when he saw the chaos of the situation, he quickly lowered his voice and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't act rashly, don't sacrifice in vain, don't forget that I am here to congratulate Lao Shangshu on his birthday today, there is nothing to be afraid of." Fu Jiang's words made everyone present react at once, and their emotions stabilized a lot.
Lu Luoyang immediately took the lead out of the hall, and the others followed. As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I saw two rows of warriors with swords standing in the courtyard, each draped neatly, with angry eyes, and Emperor Fu Chang of Qin was walking into the Lu Mansion surrounded by another group of warriors. Lu Luoyang hurriedly led everyone to kneel down and kowtow to the mountain and shout long live, Fu Chang snorted lightly, looked at the kneeling people, and said: "I heard that Lao Shangshu is happy today's birthday, I came uninvited. ”
Lu Luoyang hurriedly said: "The old minister is honestly afraid, how can the old minister be bothered by His Majesty's condescension." ”
Fu Chang paced two steps forward and asked, "Could it be that something strange happened to me today?" Why is there only so many people congratulating Lord Shangshu on his birthday? Come and get up, let me see who is going to congratulate Lu Shangshu on his birthday! ”
So everyone stood up, and Fu Chang looked at them one by one, and said with a smile: "Although there are not many guests here, they are all old ministers of the court!" Yo! Brother Wang, Brother Wang didn't expect you to come too, although this person is not here today, but they are all people with extremely prominent status, Lord Lu has a big face! ”
Lu Luoyang listened to what Fu Chang said, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't like to be lively when he is older, so he only invited some colleagues and old ministers, and he didn't make too much noise, as for the relationship between the two highnesses and the old minister, Your Majesty is also clear, so naturally he was invited." ”
"Then why do you have to close the door of the house? Where have I ever seen a happy event in someone's house, and the door is closed. Fu Chang asked again.
Lu Luoyang replied again: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister has always behaved in a low-key manner, and this time it is just a small birthday banquet, and the minister doesn't want to make the city full of storms because of this matter." ”
Where can Fu Chang believe it, he walked in front of Fu Jiang in a few steps, stared at Fu Jiang and asked, "Brother Wang, is what Lu Shangshu said true?" Why did I hear that someone was secretly discussing the usurpation of the throne in the Lu Mansion? ”
Although Fu Chang was asking Fu Jiang, this sentence scared the others enough, and a few timid people were scared and trembled slightly. Fu Jiang was also very nervous in his heart, but Fu Jiang's mind was very sober, and he knew that he must not mess up at this moment. So he replied with a smile: "Your Majesty must be joking again, everyone here is here to congratulate Lao Shangshu on his birthday, where is there any chaos in the party?" ”
Lu Luoyang also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the King of the East China Sea said is yes, the old minister thinks that he is the Great Qin Zhongliang, where can there be a thief in my mansion?" The minister is absolutely sure of this, and please ask Your Majesty to be aware of this. ”
"Hahaha" Fu Chang looked up to the sky and laughed, and walked up to Fu Mei and said: "I'm just watching a joke, are you really empty-hearted?" Is it, Brother Wang? ”
Fu Mei was slightly nervous, hugged his fists and replied, "No, it's not." ”
Fu Chang laughed again, and then walked straight to the hall of Lu Mansion, and the others also followed, Fu Chang walked around the hall, touched the cups and plates on the table, and asked: "It's strange, this wine and food are cold, but why don't you seem to have moved a chopstick, is it because the cooking skills of Shangshu Mansion are not good and not suitable for everyone's appetite?" ”
"No, no, no, it's just that Fang Caichen and the others only talked and chatted for a while, but the wine and food were also cold." Lu Luoyang hurriedly dealt with Fu Chang and said.
Fu Chang turned to look at Lu Luoyang again, and asked, "What are you talking about?" So that he is so forgetful, are you talking about me? ”
Lu Luoyang was also so panicked that his forehead was sweating, and he was a little incoherent, and replied: "The ministers don't dare, the ministers don't dare, the ministers are just ......."
"The ministers are just talking about which adult's birthday gift to Lao Shangshu is better and better." Fu Mei saw that Fu was approaching step by step, and was worried that Lu Luoyang would show his feet in a panic, so he said this before Lu Luoyang. But how did Fu Mei know that his original intention was to relieve Lu Luoyang, but in fact, it left an opportunity for Fu Chang to take advantage of. Because Lu Luoyang's birthday was just to hide people's eyes, only Fu Chang didn't know about it in advance, so he prepared a congratulatory gift. But the rest of the people, except for a few who made careful preparations, the rest, including Fu Jiang, did not bring any congratulatory gifts.
When Fu Chang heard Fu Mei say this, he was secretly amused in his heart, and thought: "Fu Mei, Fu Mei, you are really stupid to go home." Do you think I came here today unprepared, you are wrong, I have already mastered everything you have done here, and if you want to secretly spend time in Chencang, I will fish in troubled waters for you. Today, I can't clean you up for the time being, and I have to get rid of all your wings. So Fu Chang pretended to be curious, and asked along with Fu Mei's words: "What are the rare treasures that can make Zhu Qing forget the delicacies on the table, and I am suddenly interested when I hear it, can you show me all the gifts for Lao Shangshu?" ”
As soon as Fu Chang said this, the hearts of everyone present trembled, and Lu Luoyang secretly complained bitterly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you are hurting these old ministers now." Lu Luoyang still wanted to shirk it, so he bowed to Fu Chang, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, where are there any rare treasures, but they are just ordinary things, Your Majesty will definitely be disappointed after seeing it, it is better not to see it." ”
Fu Chang's face sank suddenly, and he said, "Lu Shangshu, you don't know if you don't have any jokes, right?" Just now, King Guangping wasn't trying to deceive me, right? This is a crime of deception! ”
Fu Chang was so agitated, Fu Mei on the side immediately reacted, and hurriedly said, "How could I deceive Your Majesty?" As he spoke, he took out a brocade box from his arms, handed it to Fu Chang, and said, "This is a birthday gift from the minister to the old man, but I haven't had time to give it to the old Shangshu yet." Fu Chang took the brocade box and opened it to take a look, the brocade box contained a colorful pearl, although it was not the best, but it was also dazzling. Fu Chang glanced at it and threw the brocade box on the table, Fu Chang really didn't expect Fu Mei to come prepared, and thought, "I wanted to force Fu Mei to comply, but I didn't expect this Fu Mei to be a reckless man on the surface, but I didn't expect it to be hidden." The rest of these people in front of him are all human spirits, so Fu Jiang is young and simple, and try him again to see if there are any loopholes in Fu Jiang. Thinking of this, Fu Chang nodded and said, "This jewel is good, but it can't be called a rare treasure, there must be anything else?" He turned his head to look at Fu Jiang again, and asked with a smile: "Brother Wang, you gave Lao Shangshu a birthday gift, can you also let me see it?" ”
Fu Jiang complained again and again, thinking to himself, "Isn't this what you are afraid of, this, how should this be good?" If I really can't do it, I made up a lie and said that I came in a hurry and forgot about it. Fu Jiang's face was flushed, and Fu Chang was overjoyed when he saw this, and thought: "Sure enough, I have caught the loophole!" He asked coldly, "What?" Why is Brother Wang so expressional, do you want to tell me that you forgot to bring it? At the same time, a cold light shot out of Fu Chang's single eye.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of the East China Sea is here!" Suddenly, a man spoke in a loud voice, and everyone present looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a young man standing outside the door with a scroll in both hands.
