Chapter 2: Wisdom is not a hindrance (1)

Before noon, Zhou Zhi had already led the army to Luoyang Prefecture in Xiguan. Liang Xiang Cao Tian and Neishi Han Yu, who had been waiting for the prince for a long time at the city gate, saw that Zhou Xiang led the army to come, and both of them hid their faces and wept, "The lower officials greet the prince and Zhou Xiang, the city has been a sleeping palace and a thin banquet, although it is simpler, I hope the prince will come." ”

King Hui was awakened by the shouts of Cao Tian and Han Yu, and after drinking some hot wine, he was no longer sleepy. He lifted the window tent and looked, "This is Xiguan Luoyang Prefecture." He was a little happy. He immediately jumped out of the carriage and stepped forward to help Han Cao and the two generals, "When I was in the Taifu Mansion, Lord Wu Zheng mentioned the two strategists slightly, and when I saw them today, it would be otherwise. ”

Han Yu knelt down and moved in front of King Hui, crying: "The prince is young and wise and knows the old ministers, and the ministers should not hesitate to die for the prince." ”

"Where, where." The prince stretched out his little hand to help Han Yu and Cao Tian, the two generals.

"Two generals, tell me what your plan is for the recent arrest of criminals?" King Hui said lightly.

The two ministers didn't know how to answer, they all looked sideways at Zhou Zhi and King Hui and said, "Zhou Xiang and the prince will return the account quickly, and our brothers will report to the prince." ”

"Hahaha" King Hui smiled and said, "Return to the account." ”

Along the way, King Hui saw that the two ministers were loyal, so he opened the conversation.

"Since my father wants the palace to supervise this case, Lord Cao Tian and Han Yu should play to the palace one by one after returning to the account, the two old ministers are great Wu heroes, and the two adults should not think that the palace is a child, so they despise the palace?"

"Where is it, the old minister doesn't dare, the courage of King Hui's young man is the respect of the old man." Han Yu arched his hand.

Li Wei interjected: "King Hui, this capture of the murderer is not as easy to distinguish right from wrong as on the battlefield. Although someone reported it, after all, there is no evidence, if we rashly enter the Liang Palace, it will not make sense of the law or reason. ”

Huo Wu looked serious: "Since it is at the behest of my father, the imperial uncle should also do his best to assist, and the palace will enter the city tomorrow to persuade the imperial uncle; Tomorrow, if he has a tough attitude and does not assist the palace, and the palace returns to Changjun Anling, I will start my father's uncle to bully the king's order and disobey it. ”

Jing Fan hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, absolutely not." ”

"What does this mean," Hui Wang's face immediately darkened.

"His Royal Highness is the lineage of the Great Wu Dynasty, the top pillar of the Huo Dynasty, how can he work the dragon body, just leave these things to the ministers to do."

"Speaking of which, Lord Jing Fan still looks at this palace as a child. This palace doesn't even dare to enter the Liang Palace, how will it crusade against foreign captives in the future? This palace doesn't even dare to clean up the chaotic ministers and thieves like King Liang, how will it be in the world in the future? "As soon as Huo Wu's childishness came, he was extremely stubborn.

Cao Tian pondered for a long time before he said, "It's best to try to get King Liang to take the initiative to hand over Liang Guang and Gongce to the two thieves." ”

Zhou Zhi was puzzled: "Lord Cao's words are wrong, what a serious crime it is to assassinate the court officials, it is impossible for King Liang not to know the severity of this matter, how can he set himself on fire?" ”

Hearing Zhou Xiang's words, Han Yu's eyes lit up, and he bowed his hand and said, "Zhou Xiang's words reminded Xia Guan of a person. ”

Huo Wu immediately stood up and said, "Who?" Who? Who? ”

"For many days, Shi Yu, the deputy prince of Liang, secretly assisted me and Cao Tian to hunt down the fugitives together, and deeply felt that this duke was loyal, steady, and proficient in the art of Shen and Han, and set Wen Taowu in one, although he had a very personal relationship with Huo Yong, the king of Liang, but he was very indignant about the actions of Liang Guang and the two thieves."

"Shi Yu? Hongu had heard of this man. ”

"Shi Yu also introduced a person to the minister."

Huo Wu hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

Zhou Zhi thought to himself, how could His Highness be interested in anyone? So he said casually: "What Lord Han said is Sima Xiangru?" ”

"Yes, Zhou Xiang also guessed Sima Xiangru?" As soon as Han Yu's words fell, King Hui interjected again, "But that Sima Xiangru, who is good at resignation? ”

Han Yu didn't want King Hui to know that Sima Xiang was such a person, his face was shocked, and he asked in surprise, "Your Highness also knows about this person?" ”

King Hui jumped up happily, his eyebrows fluttering: "I remember when I was four years old, one day, Sima Xiangru saw my father in front of him, because I was young, I jumped in front of Sima Xiangru and plucked his beard, my father was so angry that he shouted, 'Hui'er, do you know whose beard you are pulling, Sima Xiangru is your Taifu's teacher, that is also your Taishi. I was so scared that I peed my pants. ”

"But I don't remember as for the aftermath." King Hui scratched his head and added.

"What, our Great Wu Prince Huo Wu will also be so scared that he pees his pants?" Li Wei said with a smile. Suddenly, all the ministers burst out laughing.

Huo Wu heard Lord Li Wei's words, his little face blushed with anger, and he said in a low voice: "Little Lizi, don't be arrogant, if there is a day, let me catch your stain, this palace will definitely want you to die without a place." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Zhi said solemnly: "Lord Li Wei must be cautious when he speaks in the future, like the words just now, or say less, if there are too many such words, the prince will become the emperor in the future, then you will ......"

Master Li Wei arched his hand and said, "Zhou Xiang, don't do it!" As soon as the words fell, he leaned over and touched King Hui's head, and added, "Nephew, one day, your uncle commits a crime, can you kill your uncle?" ”

Huo Wu looked up at Li Wei, and Yu looked around at the other ministers, and said lightly: "Yes." ”

After Li Wei heard this, his whole body trembled, and he immediately knelt down and said, "What, you will kill your uncle?" ”

When Huo Wu heard this, he grinned and said, "How come." However, if the uncle commits rebellion, is disloyal to the court of the Great Wu, and forms a private party to oppose the court, etc., this palace will not spare it. ”

"What a prince, what a prince of Wu." Cao Tian shouted with his sword.

Huo Wu shook the novel and said, "After that, I was quite tired of being the emperor." ”

"Okay, ministers, King Hui is today's son, and he knows how to share his father's worries at a young age, it's rare!" Zhou Zhi said.

Before the words fell, all the ministers knelt down one after another, "My prince Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

Seeing this, Huo Wu ran over to help the ministers one by one, and said simply: "What did Teacher Zhou Zhi say?" ”

At this time, Zhou Zhi felt very honored, he thought to himself: "My father has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and the other royal children of Dawu are all gentlemen, and Huo Wu is so young that he actually invited him to go on the expedition, and what he said just now, so that my father can still see a loyal and brave emperor like King Hui in his life, and my father is in vain." ”

Zhou Zhi glanced at Zhou Jian, his eyes suddenly tightened, and he sighed in his heart: "Jian'er, I hope you will always accompany King Hui in the future, not to mention that you can glorify your ancestors, at least I can protect you ......"

"Teacher Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, Teacher Zhou" King Hui has been whispering in Zhou Zhi's ear for a long time.

He suddenly came back to his senses, "King Hui, what's the matter?" ”

"It's nothing, when you had an epiphany just now, Lord Han Yu suggested that Shi Yu and Sima Xiangru persuade King Liang to hand over Liang Guang and Gongce, what does the teacher think?"

Zhou Zhi glanced at Han Yu, clapped his hands and said, "Lord Han, this strategy is indeed a good strategy, this is very good, the soldiers who surrender without a fight are the best strategy!" ”

At this time, Li Wei, Jing Fan and Zhou Jian said in unison: "My lord, the junior official is still worried about whether Shi Yu and Sima Xiangru are willing to be lobbyists. ”

Huo Wu stood up, patted the table with his immature little hand and said, "What's so difficult about this, just send Shi Yu and Sima Xiang tomorrow." ”

Cao Tian said: "Your Highness doesn't know, Shi Yu, as the deputy duke of Liang, was the first time that the war horses of the Seven Kingdoms pressed under the city of Luoyang Prefecture in Xiguan, it was he who resisted the idea of abandoning the city and fought with all his might, so that King Liang won the first class of counter-rebellion. Now I want him to ......."

Han Yu took Cao Tian's words and said: "Lord Cao's words are understood, what Lord Cao is afraid of, and what I am afraid of, but just now, the old man thought of a 'reason' and felt that Shi Yu would definitely go out of the mountain and help Prince Kuang,"

Before Han Yu's words fell, Zhou Zhi's brows tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the reason?" ”

Han Yu arched his hand and said: "Zhou Xiang, the minister thinks that whether it is King Liang or other kings, they are all the first emperors, that is, the emperor's brothers and courtiers. Under the world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. ”

Jing Fan took Han Yu's words: "Loyalty to the court is great loyalty, loyalty to King Liang is small loyalty, this truth is not difficult for Shi Yu and Sima to weigh. ”

"What Lord Jing and Lord Han said is extremely true!" King Hui's thick black eyebrows trembled slowly, and he announced loudly, "Tomorrow morning, the palace will send someone to send a message to King Liang, saying that King Hui has arrived!! ”

The ministers were stunned for a moment, and Zhou Zhi clapped his palms together, and even called the clever plan: "This is a test for the king of Liang by the 'little emperor', if he has not done anything that has failed the court, he will definitely come in a carriage to meet the prince If he has a bad heart, the minister has 5,000 elite soldiers here, he will not dare to go out of the city rashly, and will only send a messenger to express his condolences." ”

"The most likely person to come right now is Vice Duke Shi Liang."

Zhou Zhi nodded, but he was still worried that Vice Duke Shi Liang would find it difficult to let go of his personal relationship with Huo Yong, and asked, "In case Duke Shi doesn't ......?"

Before the latter words could be spoken, he was intercepted by King Hui: "Teacher Zhou doesn't have to worry too much, as long as he enters this camp, he will be in the hands of the imperial court." If he wants to agree to everything, it is easy to say, and if he dares to resist, he will take it back to Beijing and return to the reinstatement of the decree. ”

All the ministers were impressed by King Hui's decisiveness, and Zhou Zhi thought to himself, since he was a child, he looked down on the big, and now King Hui is so resolute, he will become the emperor in the future, and he will definitely not blink when he kills people.

When Cao Tian saw King Hui for the first time, he was also impressed by his "personality" words, and he shouted in the general's unique voice: "

Loyalty is in every inch,

Brave the Huo generals.

No cup is not shared,

Shuanghong Yuyi.

Dingnon-caged bird,

Be amazed at the pearl pin.

For the love of longevity,

Wang Cheng visited the beginning of the Dao. ”

……

The Liangwang Mansion is located on the central axis of Luoyang Prefecture City in Xiguan, and this huge building is a mysterious place for the people of Luoyang Prefecture. Although they knew that Huo Yong, the most noble of the dynasty, lived here, they had never seen the figure of this prince, and they could only imagine the luxury of the car, the majesty of the guard of honor and the grandeur of the imperial elephant through the noise of the resumption of the road. Therefore, the people who came and went in the heavy snow did not know that in this seemingly peaceful Liang Wang's Mansion, they were experiencing a bloody storm.

At this moment, Huo Yong looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and said a little irritably: "Are you two human?" It's so cold in the hall, why don't you hurry up and add more coal. ”

His heart became nervous, looking at the heavy snow, an inexplicable cold welled up in his heart, "The emperor actually traced the bloody case in Kyoto to Luoyang Prefecture in Xiguan, and he didn't expect that there would be a fierce battle in Luoyang Prefecture." ”

"Report, King Liang" A guard hurriedly ran into the main hall, "What's the mess" King Liang reprimanded. "King Liang, at this moment, I don't know who is outside the city with 10,000 soldiers to force the city, what should the king do?" The guards were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

"What, this time, it seems that the emperor is really serious?" Huo courageously reprimanded. "King Liang, hurry up and send troops! Otherwise, the people will be sinned! The guard immediately knelt down and said.

"Go and summon Shi Yu to come to the palace," Huo Yong commanded.

"No"

……

"Report, the city gate guards come to report, and the city general will report to him."

"Report, king, Shi Yu, deputy duke of Liang, doesn't know where to go."

"Good! Huo Gang: It seems that you really want to come this time. Suddenly, Huo Yong's resentment against the imperial court, which had accumulated for many years, completely exploded at this moment.

"Report, King Liang, Liang Guang, and General Gongce have arrived."

"Quickly, announce them to the temple."

At this moment, King Liang knew in his heart that if Zhou Zhi, who was under the city, forcibly entered the mansion to search, Liang Guang and Gongce, who were hiding in the mansion, would be arrested, so this kind of hiding could not last.

"Liang Gong, Liang Guang and Gong Ce pay a visit to King Liang."

"Come on, come on," King Liang gasped, "Zhou Zhi's army is eyeing each other, what do you say this should be?" ”

"Tut-tut, Zhou Zhi Lao'er dares to be arrogant in Luoyang Prefecture City, Xiguan." Gong Ce twisted his beard and said.

King Liang glanced at Liang Guang and said lightly: "What does General Liang Guang think?" ”

Liang Guang said with a smile: "Please rest assured, on the ground in Luoyang Prefecture, Xiguan, Zhou Zhi may not be familiar with the terrain, and it is unknown who will win and who will lose in the battle." ”

"The general's words are wrong!" Gong Ce intercepted Liang Guang's words and pondered: "Your Highness, the minister has read the "Book of the Military Department" written by Zhou Zhi, which summarizes his combat strategies for decades of bloody battles, etc., and the minister thinks ...... If our army fights with Zhou Zhi, our army is in danger! ”

"What? According to what Master Gongce said, I can only be caught with my hands tied? Liang Guang retorted disapprenously: "Adults are always so cautious, are adults afraid of death, or are adults afraid of offending the court?" ”

Gong Ce ignored Liang Guang's accusations and incomprehension, "Adults, villains are not gentlemen, but they are not villains, villains think about the safety of the people in Luoyang Prefecture City in Xiguan, not that they are afraid of death." What we need at the moment of the great enemy is unity. ”

"Yes, yes, what Lord Gongce said is true." King Liang clapped his hands and said well.

"King Liang, are we for fish and meat, let Zhou Zhi slaughter?" Liang Guangwu kendo.

Gong Ce let go of his fingertips, glanced at King Liang and said, "The king, now according to the ministers, he can only outwit the world." His confident gaze stayed on the snow curtain outside the window, and said with a smile: "Heavy snow, the road is its way, God help me." ”

King Liang turned around, looked at Gong Ce and asked, "What does it mean that God helps me?" This king's brain is hot now, and please say it bluntly, there is no need to play dumb riddles? ”

"In the opinion of the ministers, we must put some tricks on King Hui?" Gong Ce frowned and pondered.

"What, a little kid, are you challenging the bottom line of this king?"

……

"So what?"

"According to the minister, the prince is young and ignorant, and everything is the idea of Zhou Zhi, Jing Fan, Li Wei and other ministers."

"Can you make it simpler, my lord?"

"The king is the emperor's uncle, so he shouldn't let King Hui live in the cold barracks, right?"

"What do you mean by ......"

"King Liang can invite the crown prince to live in the city of Luoyang Prefecture in Xiguan in the name of the emperor's uncle." A hint of complexity flashed in Gong Ce's eyes. He immediately stood up and looked around, "As long as King Hui lives in the city, everything will be in the king's control." enter, you can take King Hui as a hostage and force the Queen Mother and the Emperor to appoint the King as the prince; Retreat, you can also let the emperor temporarily withdraw from the army! ”

"Is this okay? In case, in case ......," Liang Wanghu doubted.

"King Liang! This is an unavoidable opportunity. The ministers expected that Zhou Zhi would be the prince's safety plan, and he would never dare to attack Luoyang Prefecture in Xiguan. If the prince is endangered by using the sword, won't the king be able to stage a new Qing monarch's side? At that time......"

"Hahaha, at that time, this king will definitely be able to coerce the prince to make the emperor give way to me, Gongce, you are worthy of being the first wise general in Luoyang Prefecture City, Xiguan, commendable."

"But who should we send? Who can gain the trust of the old thief? ”

Gong Ce pondered for a while and then arched his hand: "The minister thinks that there is someone who can take on this great responsibility? ”

"Who" King Liang pressed in front of Gong Ce.

"Do you think Vice Duke Liang?"

"Who, you mean Shi Yu."

"Your Majesty! The minister heard that Shi Yu, the vice prince of Liang, was quite trusted by the eldest princess, and the emperor also gave him a thousand catties of gold and several jewels. ”

King Liang sighed and said, "The general trend has gone, and it seems that there is only him." ”

The next day, shortly after Li Wei entered the city on the orders of King Hui, he returned to the Han army camp with Shi Yuguo, where he first met with Zhou Zhi and then went to Huo Wu's dormitory under their guidance.

In the barracks, the soldiers were braving the cold to drill the military formation. I saw that on the platform, Zhou Jian and Jing Fan sat steadily, the two Sima waved the colored flags in their hands, and the soldiers followed the instructions of the colored flags, sometimes assembled, sometimes scattered, sometimes a long snake, sometimes a giant dragon into the sea, and performed various formations. And in the other corner of the barracks, a group of soldiers, led by Sima, manipulated the cavalry shooting. War horses neighed and galloped past the school grounds, bringing up clouds of snow and dust.

Shi Yu couldn't help but stop freely, looked at it for a while, and then retracted his gaze and sighed: "The soldiers brought out by Old Man Zhou are not easy to attack, and they are not prepared!" From the bottom of his heart, he admired his ability to lead troops, no wonder in the Battle of the Seven Kingdoms, the enemy army was defeated and retreated! In front of such elite soldiers, Gong Ce and Liang Guang instigated King Liang to fight against the imperial court, how self-defeating! Shi Yu was thinking about it, but Zhou Zhi urged on the side: "Lord Shi Yu, please leave here." ”

Shi Yu came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly: "Zhou Xiang is really good at governing the army!" ”

"Shi Yu, no, Vice Duke Liang has won the award. The old man has only been a soldier on the battlefield for several years, how can there be any way to govern the army! ”

"The imperial court has the main soldiers of Zhou Xiang, which is the luck of Dawu and the blessing of Sheji!"

Zhou Zhi shook his way and sighed: "Old man! The old man is looking forward to having a young general to assist the emperor and strengthen the country. I heard that Shi Yugong is not only proficient in the art of war, but also has a deep knowledge of Confucianism, and the future of Vice Duke Liang is limitless! ”

"The lower officials are only shallow in their studies, and they only want to serve the court, but the things above the court still need to be pointed out by Zhou Xiang."

The two walked together, looked at each other and smiled.

King Hui's dormitory is in the center of the camp, and it is said to be a dormitory, but in fact, it is only a little larger than the other camps in the army. It snowed heavily overnight, and the barracks river three miles away from the prince's dormitory had formed a thick layer of ice, and the dormitory added a cold majesty against the heavy snow. Those Yulin guards who were guarding were a post every three or five steps, lined up from the intersection to the front of the dormitory, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. When they heard the sound of stamping on the snow, they immediately became alert and shouted, "Who dares to move in the place where the crown prince and King Hui are stationed? ”

Zhou Zhi waved his hand and said to the soldiers: "You don't have to panic, this is Shi Yu, the ambassador of King Liang." ”

The soldier withdrew his weapon, bowed and said, "Zhou Xiang, please, Deputy Liang Shi Yu, please!" ”

King Hui had already gotten up and was practicing his sword. A short Zhao danced impermeably in his hands, a phoenix spread its wings for a while, a rhinoceros looked at the moon for a while, and Li Wei pointed out the flaws in it from time to time. It seems that he has been dancing the sword for a long time, and his little face is flushed.

Seeing Zhou Zhi coming, Li Wei hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Oh, this is the deputy Duke of Liang, Shi Yu's strategist!" ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Shi Yu bowed his hand and humbly said.

King Hui's sword was unsheathed, and Zhou Zhi lost no time in introducing Shi Yu to him. Shi Yu was about to perform a worship salute, but was stopped by King Hui: "My lord, please get up quickly!" The Lord is the first strategist of Luoyang Prefecture in Xiguan, this is a military camp, not Anling of Changjun. ”

Shi Yu was at a loss, and said crampedly: "Your Highness, this ......"

"The emperor has long set a rule, you can not worship in the army, if you don't believe it, you can ask Zhou Xiang."

Zhou Zhi was taken aback again, and sighed: "My father doesn't remember, His Royal Highness is really well-read and strong!" ”

King Hui said as he entered the account: "These are all told by Taiwei Wu to the palace, but the palace thinks it makes sense. The officers and men of the three armies either practice or fight every day, let these red tape tie their hands and feet, how much time do they have to practice and practice martial arts? Zhou Xiang, Jing Fan, Li Wei, Shi Yu, do you say? ”

Li Wei nodded and said, "What the prince said is exact. ”

However, after Shi Yu entered the account, he still performed the proper courtesy, and said: "King Liang was very uneasy when he heard that the prince had arrived, and scolded Liang Guang and Gongce for ignoring the imperial court, using their mantis arms as a car, and not measuring their own strength. King Liang had already ordered people to prepare the palace, just waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enter the city. ”

"The prince can't go, it's a premeditation." Li Wei arched his hands and shouted.

Zhou Zhi, Jing Fan, and Zhou Jian listened to Shi Yu convey the meaning of King Liang on the side, and for a while, they were like falling into the clouds for five miles, and they couldn't guess his thoughts. Unexpectedly, Huo Wu asked coldly: "Then according to Vice Duke Shi Yuliang, is it better for this palace to live in the imperial uncle's Xiguan Luoyang Prefecture City, or is it better to live here?" ”

Shi Yu thought for a moment and said: "As the envoy of King Liang, the minister has the mission of the king, so he naturally wants to fully perform the king's meaning. As for the minister's opinion......"

"Bold Shi Yu!" King Hui said angrily.

Suddenly, Shi Yu knelt down, looked at Zhou Xiang, frowned, and his expression suddenly became solemn: "It's just that the minister, as the king's envoy, doesn't know whether to say it or not?" ”

"What bold Shi Yu, do you still have something to say? What a word! Is it to lead Hongu into the wolf room? King Hui said to Shi Yu Huan.

"Your Highness, even if the minister has three heads and six arms, he will not dare to bully the king!"

"Your Highness, you might as well let Shi Yu talk about it."

"Since Zhou Xiang intercedes for you, Shi Yu pleases you."

Shi Yu struggled to stand up and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, "Your Highness, should you stop all the ministers with this statement?" ”

Zhou Xiangdao: "Shi Yu is now in the camp of Great Wu, what else can't be said?" ”

Jing Fan was still empathetic and said: "Lord Shi Yu has always been loyal to the world, but the ministers here at this moment are all loyal and good people. Are adults suspicious of us? ”

"Where, where."

Li Wei arched his hand and said: "Zhou Xiang, Shi Yu, the minister has the courage to ask: Lord Shi Yu's proposition must be contrary to King Liang's mission, and if you say it, you are afraid of being accused of disloyalty." However, in Yichen's opinion, the uncle of His Royal Highness King Liang, the brother and sister of the emperor today, will never do anything that hurts relatives and enemies are happy. Even if there is a temporary act of centrifugation, it is still bewitched by the thieves. And the relationship between King Liang and the emperor. It is exactly what the thieves are plotting. The adult is affectionate, and the minister understands the difficulties of the adult, but the adult is famous, and he will never want to see the Huo family kill each other, right? ”

Li Wei's heart-to-heart reassurance, Shi Yu was very moved, and his doubts disappeared.

"What Lord Li Wei said is also what the lower officials are worried about. The two thieves have not been arrested yet, and it is better for the prince not to enter the city for now. ”

The most important thing is to know each other. Whether it is Zhou Xiang, Li Wei, or Jing Fan, they all read from Shi Yu's eyes with sincerity and benevolence from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Wei took a step forward and grabbed Shi Yu's hand, unwilling to let go for a long time: "It's rare that an adult is loyal, Dawu has a loyal minister like an adult, why worry that the traitor can't be caught?" ”

Shi Yu had just gotten up, and the guards who were waiting by King Hui's side had already delivered a jue of hot wine to him.

Shi Yu took the wine jue, as if there was a hot current surging in his chest, he then turned to face Huo Wu, and simply explained his exhortation to King Liang for many days, and the disputes and disputes with Liang Guang, Gongce and others.

"The minister will go back and persuade King Liang to hand over Liang Guang and Gongce two thieves, and it will not be too late to drink this wine after the minister captures the two thieves." Shi Yu said, turned around and walked out.

"Lord Shi Yu, please stay."

Huo Wu casually untied the tiger head shackle he was wearing from his waist, and turned his gaze to Jing Fan and Zhou Xiang: "Uncle Guo, Prime Minister!" This palace can give this thing to Lord Shi Yu, right? ”

Zhou Xiang was very impressed, and thought: "Your Highness, at a young age, you have one set of governance and one set of winning people's hearts." ”

The tiger head shackle was worn on Huo Wu's body, it was just a private thing, and now it was given to Liang Envoy, and its significance was extraordinary, and of course they agreed.

"Lord Shi Yu, please see, this is engraved with the nickname of the main palace. In the future, when adults enter Beijing, with this thing, they can come directly to see the main palace. Shi Yu's heart surged again, and after hiding the gifts, he turned over and immediately left the Han camp and went straight to Luoyang Prefecture, Xiguan.

As soon as Shi Yu left, Zhou Zhi immediately sent Zhou Jian and ordered him to enter the city with a festival and arrest the important criminals. Jing Fan and others were sent again, ordering them to quickly reorganize their military horses and prepare for the siege.

Seeing this, Zhou Jian was puzzled: "Father, is Shi Yu credible?" Not credible? ”

"It's not that the old man doesn't believe in Lord Shi Yu, but in the old man's opinion, Lord Shi Yu's departure is a blessing and a curse. If King Liang thought of Sheji, he would definitely follow the advice of Lord Shi Yu and hand over Gongce and Liang Guang's two thieves; If he turns his face and doesn't recognize people, then Lord Shi Yu will be in great trouble. The old man is doing this now, and he is prepared. ”

After Zhou Xiang retreated, Huo Wu's heart was already restless, and he said to Jing Fan: "This half a day has suffocated the palace, this military camp really can't be compared with Weiyang Palace, and there is not even a place to play." So saying, he ran out of the tent.

Jing Fan chased after him and shouted, "Your Highness, it's cold outside......"

The barracks river on each day has long been free of joyful waves, and the river surface has frozen into ice, blending with the land of the Central Plains, appearing vast and boundless. The weeping willow branches are covered with snowflakes, and from time to time they fall crystal snow clusters, which are blown by the wind, just like pear blossoms with rain, and they are fluttering between the heavens and the earth. On the opposite side is a village, dotted with farmhouses, which meander along the riverbank; The silhouette of the sun hangs clearly above under the filter of the mist. Huo Wu, who was still complaining just now, was deeply attracted by everything in front of him.

Growing so big, he had never seen such a magnificent landscape frozen for thousands of miles. Especially when he saw the scene of more than a dozen children chasing and playing snowball fights on the river, he was immediately excited. In the past, there were many deep palaces, and there were a large group of palace ladies and guards accompanying every step, they would either only answer a "promise" word, or they would only choose a good one to say, how could they be comfortable?

Huo Wu's eyes were full of envy, and he turned back to the guards behind him and said, "How about this palace and you also come to have a snowball fight?" The guards stood with their hands down, and they didn't dare to say a word. Huo Wu was very unhappy, but no matter what he said, the guards just stood like chickens.

Huo Wu was angry, bent down and pinched a ball of snow, and threw it at the head of a guard. The guard hurriedly hugged his head, neither daring to dodge nor fighting back, but begged for mercy again and again. Huo Wu didn't care about this, he just let his temperament hit the guards with a snowball, and begged for mercy for a while.

Huo Wu's heart suddenly felt melancholy, feeling that he would never be able to play freely like those teenagers in the distance. He couldn't tell whether it was superior or lonely, so he threw the snowball in his hand on the ground, and said to the frightened guards with great interest: "Get up! This palace is no longer playing with you, and this palace is going to play with those people. ”

None of the guards dared to stand up and speak, Huo Wu looked at them with disdain, and went straight to the center of the river through the gap between the guards, but he didn't want to be stopped by Li Wei who came from behind.

Huo Wu shouted at the top of his voice, but he couldn't break free of Li Wei's arms: "Let go of the palace!" Why did Uncle Guo stop this palace? ”

Li Wei looked serious: "Your Highness can't go." ”

"Why? Why? Huo Wu stubbornly twisted his head to the side, his mouth pursed high.

"Because you're the crown prince."

"What's wrong with the prince, can't the prince play with others?"

"Has the prince forgotten the mission of this trip?" Although Li Wei still spoke to Huo Wu in the tone of a monarch and a minister, he added the teacher's teachings to the students, "The emperor's destiny is like the sky. When the minister heard His Royal Highness's request for orders to arrest the thieves in Chang'an, he deeply felt that God had given the British lord to my Great Wu. Now that the head of the thief is on the run, His Royal Highness has ignored the emperor's orders and indulged himself, if the emperor knew, wouldn't he punish the ministers for dereliction of duty? ”
