Chapter 457: Zhang Jiucheng set up a clever plan, and Wang Zipeng was drunk and lying on the dragon bed

It is said that Princess Roufu listened to Zhang Jiucheng's words, remembered the care that Brother Wang Zipeng and Lu Wenhu had taken care of her before, and couldn't help but feel sad, and couldn't cry: "Don't say it, Lord Zhang, I understand what you mean, but Brother Wang is my benefactor and my father-in-law's sworn brother, I can't ruin his reputation, and my situation is also known to adults, so I won't say more." You go and tell the emperor that I understand his kindness. Roufu only has Lu Wenhu in his heart, and he can't pretend to be anyone anymore. Even if Xianggong is dead, Roufu is willing to take his son to be a widow for him. I've made up my mind, and it's useless to say. ”

Zhang Jiucheng listened and didn't say anything anymore, he knew the princess's temperament, and it was useless to say more. had to say goodbye, and the princess did not send each other, but sat expressionlessly. "Princess, Marshal Wang is resigning from his official position, he wants to go back to Songshan, Zipeng is your eldest brother, can you meet each other? This is also human nature. Zhang Jiucheng suddenly turned around and said.

Princess Roufu heard that Wang Zipeng's eldest brother was not greedy for glory and wealth, and was willing to retire to the rivers and lakes, and she admired it even more. She remembered that Brother Wang worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty, and she remembered everything she had done to protect her before, and she was grateful in her heart. In order to show her respect for Brother Wang, Roufu decided to meet her, and she wanted to take her children to Songshan with Brother Wang.

"Lord Zhang, Brother Wang is leaving the capital, I want to send him off, please tell the Holy Lord, I will put wine in the pavilion of the imperial garden for him to practice." Roufu said.

Zhang Jiucheng listened to it and felt that this was a good opportunity, maybe the two of them would meet and complain to each other, and there was still room for change, so he readily agreed. Zhang Jiucheng returned to the palace to return to the emperor, and Xiaozong also had this idea when he heard it. Early the next morning, Wang Zipeng woke up and came to the palace to resign again. This time, Xiaozong did not embarrass him, and generously agreed to Wang Zipeng's request. Wang Zipeng knelt down to thank the emperor and was about to leave. Xiaozong said: "Aiqing, don't be in a hurry, there is an old man who wants to meet you." Wang Zipeng listened. Stunned, he asked, "Old man?" Who is it? "He is Princess Roufu, the wife of your brother-in-law Lu Wenhu." Xiaozong said.

"Princess? She's okay! I haven't had time to see her when I get back to Lin'an. I was also about to say a few words to the princess, and since the princess was invited, then I might as well be respectful. Wang Zipeng thought of the tragic death of his brother Lu Wenhu and the misfortune of Princess Roufu, and only felt that his heart was like a knife. He was embarrassed to go to see the princess because he didn't protect his brother Lu Wenhu. It was he who caused the princess to stay alone in the empty room, and he felt guilty. He wanted to return to Songshan quietly. Unexpectedly, Princess Joufu came to meet him.

"Your Majesty, Weichen didn't protect the concubine, and he was ashamed of the emperor and Princess Roufu. Weichen has no face to see the princess, please tell the princess by the saint. said that Zipeng was unwell and came to apologize another day. Wang Zipeng said.

"It's better to hit the day than another day, but your health is not good, so why not see each other? You used to get along day and night, life and death together. Could it be that as soon as the horse master dies, everything becomes nothing? Zhang Jiucheng walked over and took over the conversation and said. Wang Zipeng was speechless when he heard this.

"Okay, the princess has come, just in the gazebo in front, you can see it if you don't see it." Zhang Jiucheng said that he took Wang Zipeng to the pavilion.

Inside the gazebo. Princess Roufu sat in the middle with a doll under the age of one, and two maids stood on either side. Wang Zipeng walked over, he saw that Princess Roufu was a lot haggard, and said pityingly: "Princess, I haven't seen you for many days, why did you become so haggard??" ”

Princess Roufu didn't speak, she looked at Wang Zipeng, and felt that he had changed a lot, his beard was unkempt, his skin was dark, his body was emaciated, his face was dignified, and he looked at least sixty years old. Unexpectedly, after two years, the heroic Wang Zipeng in the past has become so old.

"Brother Wang, are you alright?" Princess Roufu said.

"It's okay, it's just that the years are not forgiving." Wang Zipeng sighed.

"Yes! We've all changed, we've become almost unrecognizable. Princess Roufu also felt the same way, she looked at Wang Zipeng with affection, and saw that Wang Zipeng's face was flushed.

"Princess, what's the matter?" Wang Zipeng asked.

Princess Roufu came back to her senses and said, "It's all right! You are the eldest brother, you came back triumphantly, and you didn't come to see our mother and son, the husband is dead, how can you leave our mother and son behind? The princess couldn't help but weep when she said this.

"Princess, it's all my fault, I didn't protect the horse master, I'm guilty of a lot of sin, I ask the princess for forgiveness." Wang Zipeng said apologetically.

"How can there be immortals in war? Xianggong sacrificed his life for the country and died a well-deserved death. I'm so proud of him. It's just that I feel sorry for my boy when he is born without a father, and if he grows up and asks, I don't know how to answer. Brother Wang, you are Wenhu's eldest brother and the child's uncle, I want to hand over the child to you to raise, so that he can become a big hero in the future. Princess Johoku said.

"I raise? No! I also have a child in Songshan, which is the child of me and Katsuo, and now that Katsuo is gone, I really don't know how to raise the child. Wang Zipeng felt a little embarrassed.

"Otherwise, our mother and son will go to Songshan with you, and your children will be taken by me in the future, and when the two of them grow up, you will cultivate them, so that the two of us do not owe each other and learn from each other's strengths.

Do you think that will work? Princess Johoku asked.

"Princess, men and women can't kiss, not to mention that both of us are from here, and you and I will ruin your reputation if you go to Songshan together." Wang Zipeng shirked.

"What's the matter? I heard that Guo Xiaotian, Yang Tiexin, Zhang Yuan and other brothers also went back with you, can't you take me with you? Brother Wang, don't worry, I have experienced a lot of wind and rain in my life, and I can endure it no matter how hard and tired I am. Promise me! Wenhu likes to practice martial arts in Songshan, and I want to bury his bones in Songshan so that he can hear the morning bell and dusk drum of Shaolin Temple. Princess Johoku said.

Wang Zipeng was silent when he heard this, and thought in his heart: "Guo Xiaotian, Yang Tiexin, and Zhang Yuan, these righteous brothers, do want to go back to Songshan with me, only the emperor knows about this matter, how can the princess also know about it?" Did the emperor tell the princess everything? Why did Lord Zhang Jiucheng pull me to see the princess? Is he trying to match me and the princess? Could this be what the emperor meant? Wang Zipeng was puzzled.

"Lord Zhang, please go back! I want to talk to the princess alone. Wang Zipeng deliberately opened ninety percent.

Zhang Jiucheng listened to it and walked away with interest, but he was still not sure whether the two could become a pair. Although the two of them like each other, they respect each other, and between them, there is an insurmountable gap, which is the so-called feudal etiquette caused by the forces of habit.

"The only way to do this is to cook raw rice into mature rice." How can this be done? Zhang Jiucheng took great pains and finally came up with a clever plan. He hurried to the imperial dining room, prepared the wine and food, made his hands and feet in the wine and food, and then ordered the kitchen men to send it to the gazebo. Zhang Jiucheng then rushed over, saw a table of sumptuous wine and food, and said happily: "Wow, so many good wines and dishes, don't eat for nothing, Marshal Wang, princess, come, let's toast together, drink and chat." Zhang Jiucheng raised his glass and invited. For the sake of face, Wang Zipeng and Princess Roufu had no choice but to pick up their wine glasses and dry them. Zhang Jiucheng toasted three glasses of wine in a row, and Wang Zipeng and Princess Roufu also drank three glasses of wine. Who knew that after three glasses of wine, I only felt dizzy and sleepy. Wang Zipeng couldn't hold on even if he wanted to, and he and the princess both fell drunk under the table.

Zhang Jiucheng instructed his subordinates to send the princess and Wang Zipeng into the cave room specially prepared by the emperor for the two of them, and put them on the dragon bed. This is the emperor's bedroom, which was intentional by Xiaozong and Zhang Jiucheng, and its purpose was to let Wang Zipeng marry Princess Roufu, and then take the princess back to Songshan.

The two of them were drunk and hazy on the bed, and they only felt that their whole bodies were hot, so they took off their clothes in a daze, and Wang Zipeng glanced at Princess Roufu dimly, and mistook the princess for Zhang Shengnan.
