Wang Pu hurriedly said: "Li Situ don't want to misunderstand, Park doesn't want to pursue the official position, he just wants to know how the emperor reacts to Park." ”

Li Gu said: "Don't speculate about the holy will, I just want to ask Wen Bo, can this matter of defecting to the Ming Kingdom be serious?" ”

Wang Pu said: "This is indeed the case. ”

Li Gu said angrily: "Wen Bo, are you still a scholar? Where is the integrity of the reader? ”

Wang Pu knew that Li Gu was entitled to be angry, thinking that he had been tortured by the Khitans six times, but he did not give in, and he had taken refuge in the Ming Kingdom, it was not surprising that Li Gu had this reaction when he heard this.

"Li Situ is angry, this matter is a long story, but Park must meet the emperor as soon as possible, and if there is something important to report, please ask Li Situ to give convenience."

Li Gu was still angry, and sneered: "Wen Bo is now a servant of the Ming Kingdom, since he was ordered by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom to send an envoy to our country, he should naturally go to Honglu Temple to report and wait for the audience, why do you need to come to my house to beg me?" ”

Wang Pu smiled bitterly and said: "Li Situ Mo wants to make fun of Pu, there is no one to receive him in Honglu Temple, Pu Zhen has an important military situation to report to the emperor, and he can't delay, so please Li Situ complete." ”

Li Gu said: "I can't help you in this matter, since you really took refuge in the Ming Kingdom, then you can only go to the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom for help." ”

Wang Pu Zhengrong said: "Li Situ, this matter is related to the common interests of the Ming and Zhou countries, and the stakes are very important. ”

Wang Pu said seriously, Li Gu was also a little moved, seeing that Wang Pu didn't seem to be lying, and he also understood Wang Pu's personality in the past, Li Gu was a little moved, indeed. With Wang Pu alone, it doesn't matter if it is not good for the emperor. The reason why I didn't want to help Wang Pu was just that I was not angry at Wang Pu's betrayal. Of course, there are also worries that he will help Wang Pu and cause trouble.

Seeing that Li Gu was a little hesitant, Wang Pu hit the railway while it was hot: "If Li Situ doesn't believe it, you can accompany Pu to see and drive together, and then you will naturally understand." ”

Wang Pu had to trust Li Gu, and now Xiang Xun, Zhao Kuangyin, Zheng En, and others, who had befriended him that day, were all leading the troops, and only Li Gu could help. Wang Pu had to bet on Li Gu, if Li Gu continued to ask, I am afraid that Wang Pu would have to reveal the matter to a limited extent.

OK. Li Gu thought for a while, nodded and agreed to Wang Pu's request, but Li Gu proposed that Wang Pu could only enter the palace with him alone.

Wang Pu naturally agreed.

Li Gu looked at Wang Pu's tired face. There was an inexplicable emotion in my heart. This young man, studious and good at writing, has always been favored by the emperor, but now he has made a mistake, and he has to come to beg him when he wants to see the emperor, hey, he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to agree to his request, but let him see the emperor. I think the emperor won't blame himself, right?

Wang Pu didn't know Li Gu's hesitation in his heart, he saw that Li Gu had already agreed. I was relieved.

Li Gu suddenly remembered something and said, "Uncle Wen, tomorrow is the end of the month, and it is not early to follow the system." ”

"Uh......" Wang Pu was stunned, he even forgot about it, but as soon as he entered Kaifeng, he entered the eyes of people with a heart, and the delay of this day is likely to cause long nights and dreams.

Since the Tang Dynasty, all dynasties have followed a regular holiday once every ten days, on the 10th, 20th, and last day of the month, which is called the ten-day holiday or ten-day holiday.

After thinking about it, Wang Pu said: "I also begged Li Situ to take in Pu for two nights." ”

Li Gu thought for a while and said, "That's fine." ”

Wang Pu repeatedly begged Li Gu not to leak the news of his stay in the Li Mansion, and not even to reveal his family, in order to prevent leakage.

Although Li Gu felt that this secret was a little inexplicable, wasn't it just to see the emperor? Killing people is not enough, even if Wang Pu betrayed the Zhou State, but now that Wang Pu is the envoy of the Ming Kingdom, he can't kill the envoy like Baili Wuji, right? Thinking of this, Li Gu was shocked, this is really not accurate, since the Ming State dared to kill Zhang Zhao, the envoy of the Zhou State, wouldn't the Zhou State follow the same example and kill Wang Pu as well?

Li Gu looked at Wang Pu leisurely and said, "Uncle Wen, aren't you worried about seeing the emperor, you are likely to follow in Zhang Zhao's footsteps?" ”

Wang Pu was shocked, in fact, he has always regarded himself as a minister of the Zhou State in his heart, and he never thought that the Zhou State would kill him, but now that Li Gu was so little, he realized that his current identity was the envoy of the Ming State, and Zhang Zhao, the envoy of the Zhou State and the secretary of the Ministry of War, had just been "killed" by the Ming State.

Wang Pu smiled bitterly and said: "Life and death have a fate...... the king wants his ministers to die, and he has to die if he dies, thank you Li Situ for reminding me." ”

Seeing that Wang Pu insisted on this, Li Gu sighed lightly and stopped persuading each other.

So, Wang Pu stayed in Li's Mansion for two nights.

On the first day of the new year, before dawn, Li Gu took four official sedan chairs and carried four entourages into the palace to go to the court, while Wang Pu disguised himself as Li Gu's entourage and mixed among the four.

Although the palace guards are responsible for inspecting the officials who enter and exit, for a first-class official like Li Gu, how can he really go to inspect without knowing anything, so he just takes a casual look and lets the group enter.

According to the law, the officials of the upper court were arranged outside the palace in order according to the size of the official rank, until the time was punctual, and the palace guards would let the ministers into the palace, and the retinue of the officials were blocked from waiting outside the palace. The waiting entourage is also arranged in order from the inside to the outside according to the size of the official position of the lord, quite like "another court".

Wang Pu was naturally blocked outside the palace, which was expected by Li Gu and Wang Pu, but as long as Wang Pu had entered the palace, as long as Li Gu had a meeting with Chai Rong, it depended on whether Chai Rong was willing to summon Wang Pu.

Wang Pu waited outside with his head down, and the other three Li Gu's entourage had already received Li Gu's guidance, and they all used their bodies to inadvertently block Wang Pu to prevent being recognized, after all, Wang Pu was a familiar face in the Zhou court.

As soon as the time passed, it was the hour, and all the officials were strutting to line up to enter the court, and after the ministers stood still, after a while, the emperor Chai Rong walked in under the guidance of the eunuchs and sat on the dragon chair.

Chai Rong has all kinds of feelings in his heart these days, and he can't speak, most of the henchmen around him have been dispatched, and only his brother-in-law Zhang Yongde is by his side, and Wang Pu can talk about himself, but unfortunately, he actually took refuge in Mingguo.

Chai Rong didn't believe that Wang Pu would turn his back on him, there must be a falsehood in it, or this was a rumor. Chai Rong also didn't believe that Baili Wuji would abandon his feelings for the sake of two students and one Wang Pu of the Ming Kingdom, which was completely inconsistent with the character of Baili Wuji in his mind.

However, the impeachment of those officials in the court made Chai Rong unable to defend Wang Pu, and in desperation, he avoided the important and light, Chai Rong dismissed Wang Pu from the official position of Kaifeng Mansion, but the official positions of Duanming Hall Bachelor and Zuo Counselor were not dismissed.

Chai Rong hopes that Wang Pu can come back, and if he comes back, I will not pursue his betrayal. Chai Rong said to himself secretly. (To be continued......)
