Chapter 5 Internal and external cooperation

The attendant led a eunuch in, and Fei Wuji was a little puzzled. The eunuch took out a silk silk from his bosom and presented it to Wuji. When Wuji took it and unfolded it, he first glanced at the payment behind him, and saw that it was Princess Qin Meng Huan. Wuji was very frightened, now that Princess Qin has been favored in front of the King of Chu, if she counts the previous general account with herself, she will not be broken? So I was anxious to see:

“…… By the grace of the young master, I have served on the king's side, although it is not what I want. But the king has already promised me the future, so please ask the young master to help me in the court. If one day I can enter the queen and preside over the harem, I will speak well to you before the king. Now that the prince is in the country, Queen Cai has not lost the favor of the king, and I secretly think that the young master is in danger! If the prince knew about the young master's impersonation of the waist jade, wouldn't he be resentful? When the autumn of the crown prince's accession to the throne is the time of the young master Yi clan. Please be able to work with me to achieve great things, and take what you need......"

Fei Wuji was overjoyed when he saw it, it seems that the princess is also a smart person in ice and snow. I will no longer fight alone in the future, and having her as a helper is really a tiger with wings. Besides, the princess is very in tune with her own ideas, and she is also a scheming person, and she is a backer that she can rely on. So he asked the eunuch to wait for a while, and then went to the study to write a letter back by himself, and asked someone to take it to the palace to report to the princess.

Princess Meng Huan got Wuji's reply, and she had a bottom in her heart. After the king of Chu returned to the palace that day, he went to Meng Huan's residence. The princess welcomed the king of Chu in, and saw that the king of Chu was depressed and could not find a smile. Meng Huan heard the truth from the eunuchs, so he ordered the palace maids to have a feast to relieve the worries of the king of Chu.

"The king is depressed after returning to the palace today, I don't know if he can say that he knows with his concubines, and the concubines can also solve problems for the king." Meng Huan pretended to be a little careless and asked.

"The widow was ready to let the prince go to the city father to garrison, but Xiangguo and Taishi were strongly opposed, and although those ministers did not dare to speak, they all seemed to disagree. What's even more infuriating is that Cai Qi also stood up and scolded the widow, which is really hateful! ”

Meng Huan smiled and said, "As the king of a country, can the king still let his courtiers coerce?" The prince is in his youth, and it is a good time to contribute to the country. It is also his duty to solve problems for the country and the king, so what are the ministers against? The concubine thought that the king was too indulgent to them, and if even such things were restrained by the ministers, the concubine was deeply worried about the king! ”

The king of Chu was anxious by Meng Huan, and he was even more angry. Ben was still a little hesitant, thinking of the anger of the people, and was ready to think again; At this time, after hearing Meng Huan's words, he decided not to change the prince's proposal to fight the border.

The king of Chu summoned a close attendant and asked him to summon Sima Fenyang, the father of the city, into the palace.

Meng Huan personally poured wine for the king of Chu, and said coquettishly: "The king doesn't have to be angry about such a trivial matter, the concubine plays a song for the king, and lets the courtesans perform some bright songs and dances, so as to relieve the king." So the robes in the palace fluttered, and looked at the fluttering clouds; The waist and limbs are like weak willows. All of them are delicate in the paintings, with natural appearances and full of grace; looks captivating, like a painting, Luo Qiwen is beautiful.

After this explanation, Chu Wangfang threw away those troubles and re-invigorated.

After several rounds of drinking, the attendants reported that they entered the palace to meet him. The king of Chu let him sing and dance for a while, and when he retreated from the crowd, he summoned Fenyang in.

After kneeling and bowing, the king of Chu gave the seat. said: "Sima assists the prince to guard the city father, and he has a great responsibility, so don't live up to the trust of the widow." The prince is still young, and there are some things that Sima has to do his best to control the overall situation. In the city, the father must manage the prince's life and daily life, and the prince cannot be allowed to do whatever he wants. Without the widow's personal will, the prince must not be allowed to return to the capital. The date of departure from the division cannot be changed, and within five days, the soldiers and horses are ordered, and they will immediately set off from the village without delay. ”

"One more thing, you have to monitor the prince's movements to prevent changes!" The king of Chu said the main point.

Fen Yang received the king's order, and he didn't know what medicine the king of Chu was selling in his heart, so he had to go only by order.

After Fenyang withdrew, the king of Chu ordered the banquet to resume, and Meng Huan reorganized the banquet, singing and dancing as before.

Let's say that the crown prince Jian saw that the king's order had not changed, and knew that the efforts of Xiangguo and Taishi had no effect, so he had to prepare to go to the city father. It's just that he is newly married with the waist jade, and the love is as deep as water, and it is difficult to give up. I wanted to take my waist jade to the city father, but I thought that she was pregnant with Liujia, the mountains were high and the road was long, and the road was difficult, so I decided to leave the waist jade in the East Palace. I also thought about saying goodbye to my mother and explaining to my mother that she would take care of the waist jade; Seeing that the day of departure was approaching, he wanted to enter the palace to say goodbye to his mother.

I didn't want the car to drive just to the palace gate, but the guards stopped the prince's car, saying that the king had an order, and asked the prince to concentrate on arranging the affairs of the border, and not to enter the palace without the king's will.

The prince looked at this majestic palace, the place where he grew up. Today, it is so close at hand, but it has become so far away, tears can't stop rolling down. Now that I have to go thousands of miles away, I don't know when I will be able to return it, but I can't even say goodbye to my mother Zuihou, so I have to turn the horse's head, drop a few tears, and go home.

In the past few days, the ministers of the court have not seen the king of Chu coming to the court, and the day when the prince is leaving the capital is approaching, he knows that the prince's border affairs can no longer be reversed, so he has to say goodbye on the day of the prince's trip. Wu Hao didn't say anything, he instructed the prince to say a lot of words, and sent him ten miles away from the capital before returning home.

said that Queen Cai hadn't seen the king of Chu for several days, so she asked the palace people to inquire, only to learn that the king of Chu had accepted a new lady. According to the rules, as the lord of the harem, he didn't know anything about this matter, and this lady didn't come to see her because she was favored, so she was very unhappy.

One afternoon, Queen Cai was sitting in the ** garden watching the maids folding flowers, and the personal maid Hong'er came up and whispered in her ear: "Queen, today I heard a sister who served in the palace say that this lady of the great king Xinna is the princess of Qin, I still don't believe it." Isn't the princess married to the crown prince? Why is there a princess of the Qin Kingdom here? She also said that the crown prince had been arranged by the king to guard the city father, and had left the capital a few days ago. Although these rumors are suspicious, there is no wind and no waves, and the queen must also find a way to inquire. ”

Mrs. Cai was shocked when she heard this, and she was angry and hateful in her heart, and she became very anxious. So he sent the leader of the eunuchs to see him.

After half a moment's effort, the Yanshi came in and waited. Mrs. Cai's face was flushed, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and her speech was a little unsmooth: "Yanshi, you dog minion!" So many things happened in the harem, and you didn't reveal the slightest rumor, what kind of heart do you have! ”

The Yanshi knelt on the ground and replied with some grievances: "The king doesn't let the minions talk nonsense, which of us dares to disobey his orders?" Besides, we don't know what these things are going on. If the queen doesn't believe it, she can ask the other palace maids. ”

Queen Cai tried to calm down and asked, "Is it true that the queen has accepted Princess Qin in the queen/palace?" ”

Yanshi knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and hesitated for a long time before replying: "According to rumors, the king is the princess of the Qin Kingdom, and we have no way to verify whether it is true or not. The previous slave was also confused, wasn't the princess already married to the prince? Why is there another princess here? Later, I heard that the princess of the crown prince was a fake, and she was replaced by Fei Wuji, and the one accepted by the king was the real princess of the Qin State. ”

Queen Cai almost fell down in anger when she heard it, it didn't seem to be a rumor, but it was a real thing. He continued to ask, "Have you seen the prince in the past few days?" ”

"The king ordered the prince to go to guard the city father, and he has been gone for a few days. On that day, the prince wanted to enter the palace to say goodbye to the queen, but the king had his life first, and the prince was not allowed to enter the palace, so the queen did not see the prince these days. ”

"You dog minion, you don't tell me a word, keep me in the dark. Step aside! Queen Cai drank and retreated. Thinking that the king of Chu was lewd and lustful, he took away his daughter-in-law, and he had no regard for human morality; Now the crown prince has been expelled again, and benevolence and righteousness have been lost. So sorrow came from the heart, and tears rained down.

After a long time, Queen Cai collected her tears, then called Hong'er and told her: "It seems that the king has closed the way for us to pass on the news to the outside world, you arrange some familiar sisters to carefully inquire about the news of this princess and the king of Chu, and report to me as soon as there is any trouble." It seems that this time the king is determined to deal with the two of us, and expelling the prince from Yingdu is only the first step. As the saying goes, the mother is more precious than the son, and now that the prince is being sent, I can't sit still, although I can't leave the palace from the bright place, but I have to find a way to deliver the news. ”

Hong'er thought for a while and said that there was a way: "The queen said that she was sick and needed to summon a doctor into the palace. Then I dressed up as a woman and a man, and followed the doctor out of the palace, and then brought me into the palace the next time the doctor entered the palace. When I go out of the palace, I can do something for the queen. ”

The queen thought that this method could be tried, so she asked Hong'er to pass it on to Yanshi, saying that she was sick, and asked Yanshi to summon a medical officer to come in for treatment.

After a while, the medical officer arrived, this person's surname was Wang, and he was often in and out of the palace, and he was later called the imperial doctor. He checked the pulse for a while, and said that the queen was not seriously ill, but she was a little depressed in her heart, and she would be fine if she took some antidote medicine. So I wrote a prescription. When he was about to take his leave, the queen stopped him: "Please take a slow step, the imperial doctor, I have something to say." I have a subordinate here who is going to go out of the palace, and he wants to do some personal affairs for me, so please make it convenient for Mr. to take him out of the palace, and after three days, Mr. will bring him into the palace again. I wonder if Mr. is willing to give a convenience? ”

Imperial Physician Wang also knew that this matter was a little strange, and he also heard about the affairs of the harp/palace. Although I know that this is very risky, it is a little inappropriate. But he couldn't stand the queen's pestering request, and won the queen's reward, so he agreed. The queen asked Hong'er to come out of the backrooms and meet the princess. The imperial physician saw that the queen entrusted him with a boy who looked like a child, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and was cute. The two said goodbye to the queen and looked at the palace gate. Since it was common for the imperial physician to enter and leave the palace, sometimes he would bring his own apprentices, and he and the guards became acquaintances, so the guards did not interrogate too much, so they led Hong'er out of the palace. The two agreed that in three days, Hong'er would meet at the palace of the imperial physician and wait for the queen to summon them into the palace again.

Hong'er went to Cai Qi's mansion first, only to learn that Uncle Guo had been convicted and imprisoned for opposing the king of Chu to send the prince to the border. I had to go to the Taishi's Mansion again, and when the guards saw that it was a boy, they thought it was a naughty boy doing some tricks, so they didn't help him tell him, and they didn't allow him to enter. Hong'er couldn't, and no one paid attention to her after begging for a long time, so she had to stand not far from the gate and wait for the Taishi's car, and then she would stop and ask to see the Taishi.

After waiting for a while, Hong'er saw the door of Taishi's Mansion open, and immediately tensed her nerves. Seeing that the servants were in a hurry, Hong'er had already knelt in front of the Taishi's car, and shouted with all her strength: "The grass people have something to ask to see the Taishi, and I hope the Taishi will have mercy." "Repeatedly yelling in front of the car. The guards were about to come up and drive them away, so Wu Hao stopped everyone and asked them to bring the boy to him.
