Chapter 73: Sweat Medicine
But Liu Ziqiu is convinced that Liu Wuzhou will definitely do something from it, Liu Wuzhou is not Xiao Miao, he can't just give in so easily, on the whole, Xiao Miao, he can be regarded as a benevolent monarch, he thinks about the people, and Liu Wuzhou in order to usurp the world, and even does not hesitate to collude with the Turks to lure wolves into the house, so once a person like Liu Wuzhou has been called a lonely widow, it is difficult to let him take the initiative to give up that supreme power
Despite this, Liu Ziqiu still decided to follow Yu Chigong to Loufu City, because Wei Chigong was his brother, he had to give Wei Chigong absolute trust, and Wei Chigong would completely change his mind and become a member of the Han Dynasty
However, since Liu Ziqiu has become suspicious of Liu Wuzhou, he naturally has to make some arrangements, and he will definitely get a face-to-face opportunity with Liu Wuzhou when he goes to Lou to be troubled
Compared with Taiyuan City, Lou Fu can only be regarded as a small city, let alone compared with a metropolis like Chang'an and Luoyang, if Liu Ziqiu launches a large army to attack, he can take Lou Fu City in less than three days, of course, Liu Ziqiu came to accept Liu Wuzhou's surrender, and did not launch a large army, but only led a thousand guards with him, this is the greatest trust in Wei Chigong, Yu Chigong has really been convinced by him, a righteous brother
At the head of the city, Liu Wuzhou saw Liu Ziqiu and his party arriving from afar, and couldn't help but be excited, and said: "I can't imagine that Liu Ziqiu really believes that Wei Chigong only brought this little bit of men and horses, so he dared to come and surrender, why don't you behead him under the city."
Song Jingang hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, if you send troops at this moment, Chi Gong will definitely protect Liu Ziqiu desperately, and ask who in the army is his opponent."
Liu Wuzhou groaned: "Then what should you do according to your opinion?"
Song Jingang said with a smile: "Your Majesty is better to do it at the banquet according to the original plan."
Liu Wuzhou was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Let's open the city gate, let's go out together to greet Liu Ziqiu."
……
Liu Ziqiu's guards are the most sharp cavalry, equipped with the best horses, the speed is very fast, in the blink of an eye, has arrived at the city, at this time Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, Huang Ziying three people have come to wait, outside the city, the three are all cloth, bare-handed, the soldiers around them also abandoned their swords and guns, made a gesture of determination to surrender, Wei Chi Gong jumped off the horse first, introduced Liu Ziqiu one by one, Liu Wuzhou and others hurriedly bowed
Liu Ziqiu still believes in the righteousness of his righteous eldest brother, and is not worried that the three people in front of him will be stand-ins and pretends, and Liu Ziqiu has already sent someone to infiltrate Ma Yi and obtain the portraits of Liu Wuzhou and others, even if they want to find a stand-in to pretend, it is difficult to escape Liu Ziqiu's eyes, after all, there are thousands of differences in temperament between a real superior and a stand-in, which Liu Ziqiu, who has already ascended the throne, can naturally distinguish this
Liu Ziqiu pulled Liu Wuzhou up while quietly guarding, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, please be able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I am very comforted, you can rest assured, I will never treat you badly, and I will definitely entrust you with a heavy responsibility."
Liu Wuzhou took the opportunity to stand up, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and the ministers have prepared a banquet for Your Majesty."
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "Okay, please ask General Liu to lead the way."
Liu Wuzhou was slightly stunned, then he knew his current identity, and hurriedly smiled and led Liu Ziqiu to Fenyang Palace
At that time, Yang Guang was good at traveling, and there were palaces in many places, and this Fenyang Palace was also one of his palaces, but it was destroyed by the Ji Shi gang and the gang, although it was difficult to restore the luxury of rì after Liu Wuzhou's repair, after all, many decorative jewels were divided up by his generals, and even the posture of the palace maid was unsatisfactory, but in order to welcome Liu Ziqiu, Liu Wuzhou still made a bloody contribution to his two favorite concubines today
In this era, the status of concubines is extremely low, originally after Liu Wuzhou became emperor, the status of all concubines also rose and became his concubines, but although Liu Wuzhou's surrender was fake, they could not leak the news, so these concubines did not know, they only thought that Liu Wuzhou was going to really surrender, and they naturally restored the identity of concubines, since they were concubines, they could be given away casually, not to mention just letting them come out to accompany the guests
The main hall of Fenyang Palace is still magnificent, Liu Ziqiu sat on the main seat without concession, Liu Wuzhou and others sat opposite each other on both sides, because Wei Chigong was Liu Ziqiu's righteous brother, and his status was transcendent, so he came to the top later, and sat directly opposite Liu Wuzhou, but was in front of Song Jingang and Huang Ziying
The two concubines sat on Liu Ziqiu's left and right, helping him pour wine and food, and did their best to be charming, they knew in their hearts that the young man in front of them was a big man, and if he could get his favor, he would have a better future than following Liu Wuzhou
Liu Ziqiu has successively accepted the banquets of the Li family in Longxi, the Hongnong Yang family, and the Taiyuan Wang family, and has long been surprised by this kind of occasion, and he is not at the same time as Liu Wuzhou, and he is polite to hug left and right, and the toast of everyone is also not refused, and he looks like he is happy in it
Seeing this scene, Liu Wuzhou was secretly proud, patted his face lightly, and a team of young women in full costume rushed in and began to dance in the hall
Song Jingang also raised the wine cup and said: "Your Majesty's ministers and others are willing to sweep away Wagang, Hebei, and Shandong for Your Majesty."
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, your glory and wealth will be indispensable in the future, as for quelling the rebellion, you won't have to worry about it."
In fact, Liu Ziqiu has always doubted the sincerity of these people's surrender, and saying this is to test their reaction, no matter who can hear it, the meaning of these words is to take away their military power
After saying this, Liu Ziqiu did not raise his head, but gently turned the white jade wine cup in his hand, this white jade wine cup was originally a treasure left by Yang Guang in the Fenyang Palace, and the jade obtained by Liu Wuzhou was not used by anyone, at least Liu Wuzhou declared himself to Liu Ziqiu on the surface, this jade cup could only be handed over to Liu Ziqiu, Liu Ziqiu inadvertently found that this jade cup could clearly reflect the shadow of everyone in the hall when he turned the wine glass, and now he was observing everyone's reaction through the shadow on the jade cup
Song Jingang, who proposed to be driven forward, was expressionless, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried, Huang Ziying's eyes were full of anger, but Liu Wuzhou's mouth had a sneer, only Wei Chigong couldn't hold it back, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you still want to make contributions on the battlefield."
Liu Ziqiu slowly raised his head, drank the wine in the jade cup, and said with a smile: "Brother Wei Chi, you are my righteous brother, and it is naturally indispensable to ask you to make some efforts to quell the rebellion of all parties in the future."
Wei Chigong said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two concubines knew that the young man they were serving turned out to be the current emperor, and they couldn't help but be even more flattering, and hurriedly helped Liu Ziqiu fill the wine glass, and said delicately: "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids also toast you."
Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "Drink well"
As soon as he drank this glass of wine, he saw Liu Wuzhou "snap" and overturned the several cases in front of him, and laughed loudly: "Liu Ziqiu, if you don't tie your hands, when will you wait?"
I saw that the group of young women dancing in the main hall suddenly flew with long sleeves, and they pounced on Liu Ziqiuyuan together, these women were not ordinary dancing girls, but the female soldiers in Liu Wuzhou's army, when the auspicious world sacked the three counties of Mayi, Yanmen, and Loufu, many young and strong men also died under the sword of the Turks, Liu Wuzhou wantonly expanded his army, and the men who rushed to the front line were all men, but also recruited some female soldiers to defend the less important county seat, this team of female soldiers was just transferred from the nearby county town to ambush Liu Ziqiu
Seeing this, Wei Chigong stood up in shock, picked up a few cases in front of him, and was about to rescue Liu Ziqiu, but he felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and his divine power could not be used at all
"General Wei Chi doesn't work hard for you to do it," Liu Wuzhou waved his hand and said, "Everyone in the world says that Liu Ziqiu is strong in martial arts, but I don't believe it, I want to watch him being captured by several women in public."
This is exactly where Liu Wuzhou is dangerous, he took advantage of Wei Chigong's failure to speak, just raised a few cases, and spoke first, further provoking the relationship between Liu Ziqiu and Wei Chigong, as if Wei Chigong had also participated in this plan in advance
The two concubines who accompanied Liu Ziqiu didn't know about these things, seeing the cold light shining in the sleeves of the dancing girls, they screamed in fright, and hurriedly got up and fled from Liu Ziqiu's arms, so as not to be accidentally injured by those few dancing girls, according to common sense, these two concubines are now Liu Ziqiu's best shield, but Liu Ziqiu seems to have lost his strength, and can only watch them escape
Only then did Wei Chigong know that Liu Wuzhou must have been poisoned, and he couldn't help but shout angrily: "Liu Wuzhou, what did you put in the wine?"
Song Jingang saw that Liu Ziqiu also looked wilted, so he stood up and said triumphantly: "Liu Ziqiu, you are too careless, do you really think that I am annoying, there is no one in the city, to tell you the truth, this wine is soaked in the seeds of a mandala, and a few other flavors are added, and ordinary people will have no strength to drink three cups, you will have no strength after drinking no less than ten cups, or you will be obedient to catch it, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin."
The seeds of the mandala are poisonous and can make people unconscious, according to legend, Hua Tuo's hemp boiling powder is prepared with the seeds of the mandala, and there are also some Menghan medicines circulating in the rivers and lakes are also refined from mandala seeds, which is also Song Jingang's carefulness, because if some strong xìng poison is used, it is likely to change the face of the jade cup, so as to attract Liu Ziqiu's attention, so it was replaced with this kind of sweat medicine, of course, the main reason is that Liu Wuzhou did not want to kill Liu Ziqiu and Wei Chigong, so when the team of dancers rushed towards Liu Ziqiu, although there was a sharp blade hidden in their hands, it was just just in case, and their real task was to tie Liu Ziqiu up
