Chapter 20 Laughing at the hidden knife Zhao Wanglun

Another dark night passed, and the land of China gradually turned white. The sky was bright, and a light snow suddenly fell in Luoyang City and its surroundings. In the alleys of Luoyang City, which was originally quiet and uninhabited, the figures of the hard-working people of the Great Jin Dynasty also appeared one after another, looking at the snowy sky, and secretly sighing that the snow this winter seems to be less than in previous years. As the so-called "Ruixue Mega Year", the harvest of crops in the next year is only afraid that it will be a little unsatisfactory.

For them, living a good life is the most important thing. As for what happened in the Imperial City last night, none of them knew. Of course, Hansu's death will not leave any traces on the trajectory of their lives.

In the middle palace of the imperial city, the palace gate is wide open. Countless soldiers of the forbidden army who had not slept all night were surrounded by three layers in the inner and outer three layers of the middle palace. Everyone was exhausted by the intense defense of the night, and everyone's eyes were full of blood, but not a single person made a sound. The snow slowly drifted on the bodies of the soldiers of the forbidden army, and unconsciously, it was actually a thin layer.

Sima Ting, Du Jue, Hong Ren and Guo Xiang and a group of four people came in the wind and snow and slowly appeared outside the gate of the Middle Palace. Sima Ting was expressionless and held a silver platter with Han Su's head on it, and the white cloth on the skull had been stained red with blood.

The four of them walked through the layers of forbidden armies, walked into the middle palace, and saw Jia Hou with Dong Meng and Gao Lishi, who were standing in their courtyard and looking at them from afar. Empress Jia's forehead was tied with a white bandage, which looked a little funny. It's just that at this moment, no one can laugh.

As soon as Sima Ting and the four of them stood in front of Jia Hou, Dong Meng took two steps forward, took the silver plate from Sima Ting's hand, and presented it to Jia Hou.

Empress Jia slowly lifted the white cloth, looked at Han Su's still lifelike head, showed a sinister smile on her face, and chuckled: "You are fortunate. This palace is heavily rewarded. ”

Sima Ting and the others leaned over to thank them.

Empress Jia smiled and said, "Han Su indiscriminately killed important ministers of the imperial court, and now he wants to assassinate the emperor and the palace, which is a great crime!" Dong Meng, hang Han Su's head on Sima Gate and announce it to the world to set an example. ”

Dong Mengyin**: "Obey." Empress. He smiled, turned around and handed the silver plate to a small eunuch beside him.

Empress Jia looked at the snow-covered sky, and said to Sima Ting and the others: "If you are fine, go back first." Oh, Prince Ting, please stay for a while, this palace has something to say to you. ”

Guo Xiang and Hong Ren surrendered. Sima Ting and Du Jue followed Empress Jia into a side hall of the Middle Palace. Although it is a partial hall, the middle palace is the residence of the emperor and queen, but it is much more magnificent than the main hall of many concubines in the north palace.

In addition to the palace maids and eunuchs, there was also a general of the forbidden army who was wearing strong armor and a sword at his waist but his hair was a little gray. Sima Ting glanced at it and recognized this person as Zhao Wanglun. In the past, Sima Ting didn't look down on this Zhao Wanglun who was wagging his tail and begging for mercy everywhere, but since listening to Zhou's words, he couldn't help but have a strong interest in Zhao Wanglun.

Zhao Wanglun had just greeted Empress Jia flatteringly, and found that Sima Ting was looking at him with interest, and couldn't help but show a kind smile to Sima Ting.

Sima Ting suddenly felt that useless people like Zhao Wanglun could survive in the court, and there was really a set. If you were a different person, seeing that the Chu Wangfu was losing power now, it would be too late to hide when you saw yourself, let alone secretly send Qiu Bo under the nose of Empress Jia. A smile appeared on Sima Ting's face, and he nodded lightly at Zhao Wanglun, which was regarded as a return gift.

Empress Jia sat down on the throne, pointed to Zhao Wanglun and said to Sima Ting: "King Zhao, Prince Ting should know each other, right?" I won't introduce much about this palace. Last night, King Zhao led the army to deploy in the Middle Palace, so now he stays in the Middle Palace. ”

Zhao Wanglun immediately made a look of sincere fear, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Niangniang really lifted Xiao Wang." Where does Xiao Wang have the ability to lead! It is all the mothers who are in command to exterminate the traitor Hansu! Xiao Wang is just a little pawn by Niangniang's side. Niangniang asked Xiao Wang to do it, and Xiao Wang did it. ”

Sima Ting glanced at Zhao Wanglun with a smile, he didn't expect Zhao Wanglun to grasp the opportunity so well, and patted Empress Jia's ass without leaving a trace, and suddenly felt that Zhao Wanglun really had something "outstanding". is the so-called "thousands of wears, sycophants don't wear", Zhao Wanglun's set seems to be quite open everywhere.

After hearing this, Empress Jia really showed a smug smile on her face, and she was not modest, she accepted it immediately, and her eyes when she looked at Zhao Wanglun were even gentler, and said with a smile: "King Zhao, you are also lucky." Sit back, rest, and rest. ”

Zhao Wanglun knew that Empress Jia didn't like others to disobey her, and after bowing and thanking her, he found a place to sit down on Empress Jia's right hand.

Empress Jia looked at Sima Ting and Du Jue, who were still standing, and felt that she couldn't favor one over the other, and said, "Prince Ting, Master of the Governor." You may also be seated. ”

Sima Ting and Du Jue really couldn't be so brazen as Zhao Wanglun, so they just thanked him and sat down on the left.

Empress Jia gently rubbed her forehead, which had been hit by a brick with her fingers, and said with a faint pain, and said, "Prince Ting, I heard that now 30,000 Chu troops are parked outside Xiyang Gate, and the body of King Chu is also in the Chu camp?" ”

Sima Ting knew that Empress Jia was asking knowingly, but he still responded cooperatively, so that Empress Jia could continue the following article.

Empress Jia pretended to sigh and said: "The king of Chu is for the country and the people, but he is harmed by the traitors of Hansu. The disaster of the country, the disaster of the society! The king of Chu has been in the camp for many days, and it is not a way to park in the Chu camp, and the day after tomorrow is the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month. If Prince Ting has no opinion, he will move the body of King Chu to Xiling the day after tomorrow. ”

Sima Ting thought of Chu Wangwei, his heart ached, and he said expressionlessly: "Follow the will of Niangniang." However, the Chu Wangfu died not only his father, but also Prince Sima Ji, the four county lords and the six county lords! As he spoke, Sima Ting's cold gaze swept over Gao Lishi, and Gao Lishi was so ashamed that Gao Lishi was busy and lowered his head.

A faint smile appeared on Jia Hou's face and said, "Since that's the case." Then Prince Sima Ji will be the king of Xiangwu, the princess of the four counties will be the princess of Xiangjiang, and the princess of the six counties will be the princess of Xixiang, and they will be buried in Xiling together. ”

Sima Ting arched his hand in the position and said, "Thank you for your grace." ”

Empress Jia waved his hand and said: "The Chu Palace's great contribution to the Great Jin Dynasty, such a reward, the palace still feels light...... After that, Empress Jia glanced at Dong Meng standing beside him.

Dong Meng came out immediately, and suddenly interjected: "Niangniang, the northern frontier has become more and more unstable in recent days. The Xianbei tribes in the west have a large number of soldiers and horses gathered in the frontier with bad intentions. Seven urgent documents have been sent in a row from the border gates, hoping that the imperial court can send troops to support. ”
