Chapter 537: How big and how big are you!

Yu Wenhua, who was upset, didn't notice Wang Bo's unruly eyes, even if he noticed it, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to it. However, Pei Ju could see the greed in Wang Bo's eyes at a glance, his heart tightened, and he gave birth to a fear for no reason, this fear was the same as when Yu Wenhua and Yang Guang were hanged, it came suddenly and deeply.

He knew that he was not a loyal minister, at least not a pure minister, because he had never thought of accompanying Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Cause, to die together. In his opinion, the emperor is worthy of his dedication, but not his life and death. Emperor Sui gave him enough, rights, status, and even since the return from being trapped in Yanmen, all the power of the court has been handed over to him, and all the twists and turns Yang Guang has not been able to see, and the Zhu pen of the imperial approval and even the emperor's jade seal are in his hands.

As a courtier, it can be regarded as the pinnacle of achievement at this point.

But he still never wanted to die with the emperor, and he never thought of himself as a traitor. He felt that he had done his duty, and if it weren't for the beautiful lies he kept weaving, Yang Guang would have been countless times gloomy and gloomy in the last days of his life. After arriving in Jiangdu from Yanmen, he already knew that the Great Sui was over, and as a courtier, the best he could do was to let the emperor live happily.

He even hoped that Yang Guang would be seriously ill and die, and if he died one day earlier, he would be relieved one day earlier. With the strength of his Pei family, no matter who he takes refuge in, he will not be left out in the cold. Even if he is a peaceful Tian Shelang, with the wealth of his Pei family, he can have no worries about food and clothing.

But if the emperor doesn't die, he must be by his side.

Yu Wenhua and named him as a speaker, and obeyed him in everything, but he lived more tired and haggard than when he was by Yang Guang's side, worried, looking forward to Yang Guang's death to become a reality, he began to look forward to Yu Wenhua and his death, and Wang Bo's greedy eyes that he couldn't hide although he deliberately concealed made him afraid again...... and anticipation.

Coming out of the so-called Qianzheng Hall, Pei Ju took a deep breath and slowly stretched his body, he was too depressed when he was in front of Yu Wenhua before, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. And by stretching his body, he just waited for Wang Bo behind him for a while.

"Although the scenery of Weizhou is not as beautiful as Jiangdu, I seem to be more comfortable here than when I was in Jiangdu."

He said with a smile.

Wang Bo glanced at him, he didn't know what he was waiting for, and he didn't know if there was any vague meaning in this sentence, so he just casually agreed, and then walked side by side with Pei Ju, he knew that Pei Ju deliberately slowed down and waited, so he must have something to say.

It's just that what puzzled Wang Bo was that after walking all the way, Pei Ju only said one sentence and then there was no sound, he walked slowly, as if he was sorting out the wording, and it seemed that he was really just interested in the scenery of Weizhou. Speaking of which, Weizhou is a land of a hundred battles, where is there any scenery to speak of, even in May when it should be beautiful, there is a depression and slaughter.

The two of them were speechless all the way, and they didn't talk until they walked out of the courtyard of the Taishou Mansion. After leaving the gate, Pei Ju paused, and Wang Bo also subconsciously stopped. Pei Ju's carriage was on the left, and Wang Bo's carriage was on the right. When the servants of the two men saw their master go out, they all cheered up and prepared.

Pei Ju paused for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that there would be a time when you would be in the same dynasty as the King of Chu." ”

If you dig deeper into this sentence, there is no meaning of harmony. Although Wang Bo has been defeated repeatedly, he is not a complete stupid idiot, and he was immediately a little annoyed when he heard the meaning of his words, and he replied lukewarmly: "Yes, when I raised an army against Sui, Master Pei was still serving Yang Guang with all his heart. In other words, Master Pei likes to listen to it, I am a thief, and you are a courtier. ”

"Why is the King of Chu so sharp and mean?"

Pei Ju smiled and said: "I just want to say that since there is fate and being a minister in the same court, I hope that the fate between you and me will not end too quickly, I want to work in the same court with you, King of Chu." ”

A court, these four words Pei Ju accentuated the tone.

After Pei Ju finished speaking, Wang Bo was immediately stunned.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Pei Ju suddenly clenched his fists and said with a martial arts etiquette: "Your Majesty has also handed over the responsibility of the palace guard to me, but presumably King Chu, you also know, where can I be a literati in charge of the army?" I don't know how to arrange city defenses, how to set up patrols, and how to assign people, if the king of Chu doesn't mind, is there time to give some advice? ”

He looked at Wang Bo, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was intriguing.

At this time, if Wang Bo didn't understand what it meant, he would be really an idiot, he immediately laughed and said: "I am also very close to Master Pei, and the fate between you and me must not be broken for a lifetime, and we are ministers in the same court, haha...... Naturally, they want to be ministers of the same court! ”

"Since Master Pei is not ashamed to ask, then I, a martial artist, will accompany Master Pei for a walk, and by the way, where should the troops be stationed and where to ...... No need for garrisons! ”

……

……

In the Weizhou Imperial Palace, the capital of Daxu Kingdom, there is a back garden that can be walked twice in half an hour, which is the so-called imperial garden, and Xiao Yizhen, the once highly respected Empress of the Great Sui, lives in this small garden. There is a small pond in the yard that is only a few tens of meters wide, although the pond is small, but a lot of lotus flowers are planted, although it is not opened, but it looks refreshing. Since arriving in Weizhou, Xiao Yizhen has never been out of the so-called palace, not even out of the back garden, and she spends most of her day sitting by the lotus pond.

There is a small pavilion by the pool, I don't know how many years have not been cleaned up, the paint on the pavilion has peeled off, mottled and looks a little sad.

Xiao Yizhen has been sitting in this pavilion since noon, looking at the few budding lotus flowers in the pond in a daze. This trances were half a day, and she didn't even move the place. In the evening, the maid came to invite her to dinner, and she got up and walked a few steps, but she had no appetite, so she returned to the pavilion and continued to sit, until the time of the lamp, she still stared at the unopened lotus flowers in a daze.

"Niangniang"

The personal maid Xiaohe called her in a low voice: "It's late, the night breeze is cold, even if you don't want to eat, you're tired after sitting here for most of the day, do you want to go back and rest?" ”

Xiao Yizhen shook her head slowly, her eyes never left the lotus leaves that covered half of the pool, and the tall unopened lotus flowers in the emerald green round leaves.

"Little Lotus"

Xiao Yizhen spoke in a very soft voice, as if she was muttering to herself: "Do you remember the origin of your name?" ”

"The slave and maid naturally remember, when the slave maid entered the palace, he was waiting for His Majesty and you by the lotus pond, at that time I didn't understand the rules, His Majesty asked the name of the slave and maid, and the slave and maid forgot to answer in a panic, Your Majesty said, forget it, it doesn't matter what your name was before, look at your beautiful appearance, just like the lotus in the pool, and so small, just call it Xiaohe."

"yes......"

Xiao Yizhen muttered: "Your name was given by Your Majesty, and even the concubines were jealous of you at that time, if it weren't for my protection, they wouldn't have found a way to drive you out of the palace." ”

"The slave has always been grateful for the kindness of His Majesty and Niangniang, and I will never dare to forget it."

Xiaohe said sincerely.

"I remember, that was the first time Your Majesty and I took a big dragon boat to Jiangdu."

She said with some distraction.

Her majesty in the mouth of her and xiaohe is naturally not yu wenhua who is sighing in the front of the main hall at this time.

"That year was still early spring when the new green, His Majesty's dragon boat had just been built, His Majesty took me from the eastern capital, to the river to board the boat all the way to the southeast, and when I arrived in the Jiangdu, the lotus flowers were about to bloom. Along the way, I was fascinated by the scenery along the way, and said that I walked slower and slower, and His Majesty let the dragon boat move slowly, and once I saw an unknown waterfowl landing on the bow of the boat, and the bird was so beautiful that I was afraid that the boat would startle it, so I told Your Majesty that His Majesty ordered the boat to stop, and stood side by side with me at the bow of the boat and watched the bird, until it flew away and then continued on the road. ”

"I don't like Chang'an, Your Majesty took me to the Eastern Capital, but after living in the Eastern Capital for a long time, I don't like the Eastern Capital, so Your Majesty asked people to build a big dragon boat, saying that they would take me to the south of the Yangtze River for a cruise. Because I don't want to be lonely, Your Majesty took me wherever I went, and then I loved the scenery of Jiangdu, so Your Majesty decided to live in Jiangdu for a long time. ”

"What I want, what I want to do, Your Majesty has never refused."

She looked up, and a string of crystal clear droplets of water dripped down her jaw.

"Your Majesty knows that I am afraid of loneliness and loneliness, and he takes me with him all the time, even if he is the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, and His Majesty did not leave me alone in the palace."

"But ......"

Xiao Yizhen's tears slipped silently and dripped on the bluestone floor of the pavilion.

"Your Majesty is cold and lonely over there now, he must be blaming me, why don't you go with him?"

Xiaohe was also infected by her and couldn't stop crying, holding Xiao Yizhen's arm and crying with her.

"Why don't I go with Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yizhen muttered this sentence, as if she was asking for an answer from herself.

At this time, Yu Wenhua walked over briskly under the protection of several guards, laughing as he walked, reversing his previous depressed and sad atmosphere. He laughed as he walked: "Empress, Empress, where are you?" Good news, I have great news for you! ”

Xiaohe hurriedly wiped away the tears on Xiao Yizhen's face with a handkerchief, and wiped her tears with her cuffs to help Xiao Yizhen stand up, Xiao Yizhen slowly breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed out a smile and asked, "What makes Your Majesty so happy?" ”

"Great thing! Great good thing! ”

Yu Wenhua walked over quickly, took Xiao Yizhen's hand and said: "I just said that I was destined to return, although I was defeated by Li Thief in Dongjun, but I met Wang Bo. I named him the king of Chu, and he didn't live up to me. This morning, he also said that he was going out to contact the old department to join me, and just now he hurriedly came in and told me that an old department he had just found in Jibei County, and there were 20,000 people! ”

He laughed and said: "There were originally 30,000 elite soldiers under my command, Wang Bo originally had 10,000 soldiers in Weizhou, plus the 20,000 horses who came to take refuge immediately, there were 60,000 elites under my command, Wang Bo said that the people of Weizhou were martial, and the people were strong, and they could fight if they were given a knife, and if they were recruited near Weizhou, they could recruit at least 50,000 people in a month!" At that time, I will have more than 100,000 troops, and it is not impossible to fight back to Chang'an! ”

He said excitedly, and suddenly saw that Xiao Yizhen's expression was a little wrong.

"Have you ever cried?"

Yu Wenhua then asked with a heavy face.

"I didn't ...... Just looking at this lotus flower, I remembered the lotus pond in Jiangdu. ”

"What do you want to do with that broken pool!"

Yu Wenhua waved his big hand and said: "After I return to Chang'an, I will dig a big pool for you in Chang'an City, and I will dig you as big as you want!" ”
