Sima invited Xiao Ling to the hall before informing him of the situation of Jiang Zuo. Zhu Tongjing gathered men and horses, preparing to re-compete with the Southern Qi court, because Xiao Ling thought that Zhu Tongjing would no longer be a big problem after occupying Jinling, and ignored it, so that Zhu Tongjing could take a breath and gather men and horses.

“…… The old department of the King of Linjiang is all under the control of Master Zhu, and according to the intention of the following, King Hui should reconcile with Master Zhu, so that our dynasty can be stable. The new emperor ascended the throne, as long as he supported the new emperor, and it was not too late to wait for the next year to stabilize the dìng. Sima Yi finally concluded.

Xiao Ling was a little confused when she heard it, since she could ask for it immediately, why did she have to wait until next year? Could it be that Sima Yuzhen, as some people have heard, is still looking towards the Northern Dynasty, and leaving Zhu Tongjing is a great trouble, which is actually an opportunity to win a buffer for the Northern Dynasty?

"Brother Sima, it's not me saying you, the one surnamed Zhu has long been at the end of his rope, but the hundred-legged insect is dead and not stiff, even if he has the old department of King Linjiang now, how many people can he have? It's better to send troops to destroy it now, and then Jinling will not be able to sit back and enjoy peace? Xiao Ling's drunkenness didn't seem to be so strong, even if he didn't have any ideas in the past, he insisted on killing Zhu Tongjing immediately at this time.

Sima Yi shook his head slightly, but he didn't explain anything. This made Xiao Ling a little annoyed.

"Forget it, since Brother Sima doesn't want to do it, then I'll find someone else. Brother Sima is tired from this trip, so take a good rest! ”

Xiao Ling was also angry in her heart, and threw her sleeves away.

Sima Yi looked at Xiao Ling's back and sighed in his heart, if it was from his position, why didn't he want to destroy Zhu Tongjing earlier. But after Li Shanye analyzed the situation for him, he felt that the survival of Zhu Tongjing's forces was not simple, as long as Zhu Tongjing was alive for a day, the Southern Dynasty would always be in trouble, and it would be able to continue to develop and become stronger. And as far as Zhu Tongjing's own means and strategies are concerned, as well as the current people and territory. It's very difficult to exterminate. Even if we can win in the end, the loss will be very large.

But if it is a peace talk with Zhu Tongjing, it is different, let Zhu Tongjing serve the new Son of Heaven, Zhu Tongjing has no reason not to agree. It will be as short as half a year, or as long as a year or two, Zhu Tongjing's own ambition to confront the imperial court will be consumed. The main reason is that the people behind him will oppose him, and those people are just worried that they can't find a banner that can be used as a banner to fight against the imperial court and avenge the death of King Linjiang, and now Zhu Tongjing jumped out and was used by them. However, with the power of the king of Linjiang, at most, he was a warlord in the region, and it was still very difficult to directly confront the court of the Qi Dynasty.

Zhu Tongjing's current situation is that he will die if he drags it on, but if he goes to war directly, the men and horses of the King of Linjiang will still look forward to Zhu Tongjing's horse.

Originally, Sima Yi could explain these words to Xiao Ling slowly. But because of Xiao Ling's importance to him and Xiao Ling's current status, too many people slandered him in front of Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling can no longer be as completely committed to him as before.

At this time, Xiao Ling was also annoyed, and just yesterday someone said in front of him that Sima would definitely not have any results from this trip. Xiao Ling also swore to the man that he had complete trust in Sima Yi, and with Sima Yi's ability, he would definitely be able to bring Zhu Tongjing's head back to restore his life. But he didn't expect to slap him in the face so quickly, and Sima Yu not only failed to complete what he had been entrusted with. also came back to lobby Zhu Tongjing, which made him even more unacceptable.

Just when Xiao Ling was a little blind and walking. Suddenly, a few maids carrying lanterns came out, and in the late autumn they were just wearing very thin clothes, as if they were swinging willows in the wind, and their posture was graceful, and the salute to him made his heart move. The drunkenness that had already disappeared rushed to the top of his head.

"Your Majesty, Li Meiren and I will come and invite the king to come forward and drink tea." A very charming maid glanced up at Xiao Ling slightly, and said with spring in the corner of her eye.

Xiao Ling reacted. only then did I realize who "Li Meiren" was. When he was in power before, a group of officials from the Xie Rumo faction in the imperial court, in order to protect themselves, gave him a woman during a banquet of Xiao Ling, taking advantage of Xiao Ling's drunkenness. Once a spring festival. The next day, Xiao Ling learned that this woman was the sister of an official surnamed Li, and she gave birth to Guose Tianxiang. Originally, according to Sima Yi's meaning, Xie Rumo's old ministry should be mainly wooed, he was a beauty for nothing, and turned around to take the woman into the inner house, because he was busy with business and there were too many socials around him, and he and the "Li Beauty" only had a one-night friendship.

Unexpectedly, this Li Meiren actually took the initiative to send a maid to invite him over today, and it was also the time when he was most bored and needed a woman in his heart.

"Lead the way."

Xiao Ling leaned forward and took the charming palace maid who was talking in her arms. The woman didn't resist at all, but leaned on Xiao Ling's arms as if she was very pandering, and let Xiao Ling be light. This made Xiao Ling feel even more complacent.

Xiao Ling, as King Hui, originally had the military power of the Fujian and Zhejiang generations, and the women around him never broke off. But the person he was worried about in his heart was even more so than Qiansu Oak, but after the turmoil in the Southern Dynasty, Qiansu Oak's whereabouts were unknown, which became a regret in his heart. Later, he also had some admiration for Daxiliu, who came to visit the Southern Dynasty, but after Daxiliu returned to the north, there would never be a day of southward travel, and he could only occasionally recall and miss it.

The women in the house, some of whom have been "touched" by him, are mostly maidservants, after all, it is the Huiwang Mansion, there are many maidservants and singers and dancers, and their appearance is very good. But he did it at will, even if there were one or two good looks, he would be pampered a few more times, and those women would still be sent out of the house or left out in the cold, at most some money would be sent to fend for themselves. Xiao Ling has not officially married the princess, in his opinion, the position of this princess is either for Qiansu Oak or for Da Xiliu, and others really can't get into his eyes. Even this "Li Beauty", he didn't want to stay by his side for a long time.

But today's Xiao Ling, when he felt the "betrayal" from Sima Yi, felt a little happy in his heart, and this Li Meiren was even more attractive in his heart. He became more and more eager to see him again, so that Li Meiren could comfort his heart.

Before Xiao Ling arrived at Li Meiren's residence, he was already hugging left and right, and several maids who came to invite him were all things he had never seen, and all of them seemed to cater to him, which was different from the wooden maids in the house on weekdays, and the maids in the house had always been respectful and obedient when they saw him, even if they were pulled into the room by him for a night, there would be no resistance or catering.

When I arrived outside Li Meiren's house, the lamp wall inside was brilliant. The sound of piano music could be faintly heard inside, and a shadow could be faintly seen dancing.

Xiao Ling was wondering in her heart. Who can play and dance at the same time, go to the door and take a closer look inside to understand the general situation. It wasn't alone.

The beauty of Li is dancing, but the person who plays the piano is someone else. There are also dancers dancing on the side, all they are wearing is ** and a layer of light yarn outside. The whole house is like a fairyland, and even the piano girl who plays the piano music is extraordinary. is not inferior to Li Meiren.

There was no song inside, Xiao Ling also looked at the door in a daze, and he was also wondering in his heart, why had these women never seen them before?

"See His Royal Highness King Hui." When the dance was over, a room of women came to bow down and respectfully lay down on the ground, as if they were weak and boneless.

"Start...... Flat is fine. Xiao Ling was a little dazed for a while, and she couldn't even realize whether she was in reality or in a dream, so she shook her head. Xiao Ling asked, "Li Meiren, are they?" ”

Li Meiren was still kneeling on the ground, and did not raise her head when she heard the words, and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, they are all sisters of the slave family, they admire Your Highness's prestige, and they are willing to come to serve Your Highness." ”

Xiao Ling frowned and said, "Then who let you in?" ”

"Back to Your Highness. It was Hu Duwei and Steward Song. Li Meiren said timidly.

Xiao Ling was relieved that Hu Duwei was originally the foreman of the guards beside him. It's a good idea to be obedient to him, but this man is also very ambitious. Because of the credit of supporting him, after he returned to occupy Jinling City, Hu Duwei became a hot figure around him, and some people took Hu Duwei's way in order to slap him, together with Steward Song. These are the old team members of King Hui's Mansion, who have existed since his father's generation.

Xiao Ling thought to herself: "The surname Hu is quite annoying on weekdays, but today he did a caring thing." ”

In this way, Xiao Ling no longer had any doubts in her heart, and stepped forward and sat down on the chair. He said, "Okay, let's all get up." ”

"Whoa."

Li Meiren and the women in the room all stood up slowly, like palace maids waiting for the emperor's luck, standing there for Xiao Ling to admire and choose.

"But I don't know who this young lady is?" Xiao Ling once again set her eyes on the girl who played the piano. But said that this woman has the most clothes on her body, and she doesn't have the charm and lightness of Li Meiren's meaning at all, she looks very solemn and graceful, as if she is from a famous family, everyone is the kind of lady who is beautiful, and her appearance is also outstanding, her skin is like congealed cream, her face is shy like a peach blossom, and her light eyebrows and phoenix eyes don't seem to be very suitable for this kind of glamorous scene. has a shy face, and the beauty of a small jasper is also in the head and chin of the mantis.

Xiao Ling couldn't help but stand up, stretched out her hand and stroked the woman's face, and the woman even retreated, but she didn't dare to avoid it, as if she was also afraid of him.

Li Meiren on the side said with a smile: "Back to Your Highness, this is a sister with a different surname from the slave family, and her maiden name is Chu'er." Sister Chu'er has been lonely since she was a child, and she always hopes that a heroic person like His Royal Highness can shelter him from the wind and rain. ”

The woman saluted and said, "Chu'er greets His Royal Highness King Hui." ”

Although Xiao Ling has long felt that this Chu'er is everyone's lady, not "lonely and helpless since childhood", he still feels that the pride of a man rises from his heart. Xiao Ling laughed and said, "It seems that Miss Chu'er is a generous gift from God." ”

After speaking, he stepped forward and took Chu Er in his arms, Chu Er struggled slightly, but he couldn't break free from Xiao Ling's "clutches". And Chu Er looked at it with a complicated and aggrieved look, but in the end, it was like an appointment, and he continued to be ashamed, and he let Xiao Ling's infringement go.

The whole hall continued to play music, and it was still Chu Er playing, but this time Xiao Ling knelt behind her, and looked at her lightly while Chu Er was playing.

Li Meiren and several dancers danced, all showing the softness of their bodies, originally wanting to attract Xiao Ling's attention, but Xiao Ling's mind was on Chu'er at this time, where did she care about them?

Li Meiren danced while seeing this scene, and couldn't help but think: "Sure enough, he is a fox who knows how to use means, and the person surnamed Xie can't put it down for you, even King Hui." It seems that men are more interested in stone girls like you. ”

It turned out that Li Meiren and Chu'er, although they were both from official families, had no relatives for a long time, and they were originally women raised by Xie Rumo in the inner courtyard of the deep house. Among the people who were destroyed by Xie Rumo, these people were obtained by the henchmen behind Xie Rumo, and in order to re-woo Xiao Ling, they were given fake identities and mixed with Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling is a cynical idle king, and he doesn't care so much about the women around him, and he is not so proficient in the gentle array, so he started at this time. With Xie Rumo's status and connections in the government and the opposition for more than ten years, the women around him naturally have as many as they want, these women were all left by Xie Rumo's thousands of choices, how could Xiao Ling have seen it?

Chu Er's indifference, as well as Li Meiren's charm, and a group of beautiful dancers on the side, Xiao Ling felt that he was surrounded by a large garden, and he could break branches and pick flowers as he wanted.

In the hall is a scene of singing and dancing, and in the main hall of King Hui's mansion, Sima Yi is still seeing some staff members around King Hui.

In the days when Sima borrowed to Jiang Gan, it was when Xiao Zhan was about to ascend the throne as emperor, and the people who presided over these things in the capital were the staff around Xiao Ling. There are many capable people among these people, and they also admire Sima Ling, but because Xiao Ling is now in power, there are many people around him, and these people are old-fashioned and often give Xiao Ling problems, and they are not allowed to be reused by Xiao Ling at the moment.

“…… Are you saying that Hu Duwei gave the original Xie Rumo's woman to King Hui? Sima Yi was still surprised when he learned about the situation from these people.

"Exactly." "That's what we're worried about." ”

Sima frowned, there was also an invisible wall between him and King Hui, and the two could no longer communicate with each other without barriers as before. Now that King Hui is in power, more people come to convince him and hold him in the world, I am afraid that now Xiao Ling himself will also regard himself as a god in the sky and can do anything.

"Don't worry, King Hui should be measured and will not indulge in women. It's just that there are some things to remind you, now that King Hui is different from the past, you must be more cautious in doing things in the future, in the eyes of some people, we are their henchmen. ”

Several staff members nodded yes.

Sima Yi stood up, his eyes fell on the inner mansion of King Hui's mansion in the distance, but he was thinking in his heart: "I didn't expect that all the things that Mr. Li predicted came true. King Hui is a Ming monarch, but it will take time, if he can't pass this flashy level, I'm afraid he will only be a faint king! (To be continued......)
