The next day, a warm ray of sunshine in the winter illuminated the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and the wine sprinkled in the pavilion rose a wisp of wine, lazily drifting to the sky.

Sima Ting, who had been drunk all night, woke up slowly, opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Army lying on the ground. rubbed his head that was a little painful, and casually moved away from Sima Ji's big feet on his body, and then stood up. A drunken man who jumped over the room landed lightly in the doorway, opened the door and walked out.

When I came to the corridor, I saw that the hall was also full of messes. Only Ying Feng was dressed in a black robe, but he was sitting at a table, holding a wine bottle and tasting it slowly.

Sima Ting subconsciously looked towards the wing room where Wei Shuo and the others were hiding, and found that the door was closed, and there was no movement inside. I can't help but feel stunned, creation makes people!

After collecting his thoughts, he slowly walked to Shadow Feng and sat down, poured himself a bottle of wine, and drank it with Shadow Feng.

Ying Feng looked at Sima Ting, opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it.

Seeing Ying Feng's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Sima Ting couldn't help but ask, "Ying Feng, if you have anything, just say something." It's not like you. ”

Ying Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, if Ying Feng says something wrong. Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness. ”

Sima Ting shook his head and smiled: "Ying Feng, when did you see me like this?" ”

Ying Feng also smiled, and then said with a straight face: "Your Highness, how are you going to arrange Senior Sister Yao'er?" ”

Sima Ting smiled dumbly, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. Isn't it chaotic enough now, why does this shadow blade have to intervene? However, he also really felt a lot of debt to Lin Yao'er: "Ying Feng, I know that you and Lin Yao'er grew up in the same Demon Gate, and they have a deep relationship. Don't worry, after a while, I will definitely give Lin Yao'er a name. It's just that this prince and concubine are afraid that it is impossible. ”

Ying Feng nodded, he also knew that the King of Chu wanted Sima Ting to marry Princess Qinghe. When the princess marries, it is naturally impossible for her to be relegated to the position of concubine. Lin Yao'er wanted to follow Sima Ting justifiably, and this was already the best result.

There was a knock on the door, only to hear the main door of the hall open, and a few turtle slaves came in with a hot and painful stove. It's winter now, and the weather outside is already very cold, but the inside of Xiaoxiang Hall is warm, which is naturally the credit of these countless stoves.

Sima Ting waved his hand to summon a turtle slave, threw over a piece of gold, and said, "When Prince Deyi and they wake up, they will say that Ying Feng and I will go back first." ”

After saying that, he stood up with Ying Feng and walked towards the outside of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

The turtle slave held the ingot enough to buy several of his gold with golden eyes, and kept bowing to Sima Ting's back and said, "The little one obeys, the little one obeys." ”

Sima Ting and Ying Feng walked and walked, and couldn't help but come to the place where they were attacked and killed half a year ago. Although the arrows on the wall had been pulled out, it was only the deep arrow hole, which couldn't help but remind him of the palpitating sound of Hou Yi's bowstring breaking through the air: "Ying Feng, do you remember that night?" ”

Ying Feng was also afraid, under the sneak attack of such an artifact, he had no chance to parry: "How could you forget." ”

Sima Ting let out a "hey" and muttered, "Hou Yi Gong...... Sima Zong...... It's almost time for you to pay off your debts. After that, he didn't stay any longer, and strode into Tongluo Street.

The two came to the Chu Wangfu after a short time, only to see Chu Wangwei happened to get down from a carriage, presumably just returned from the early court, and the two stepped forward and saluted: "Father!" "Ying Feng see the prince of Chu!"

Chu Wangwei got out of the car, his face sank like water, he glanced at them, and said with a faint "um": "Old Seven, come with your father, your father has something to say to you." ”

Sima Ting saw that Chu Wangwei's face was very ugly, and he didn't know what happened in the early dynasty today, which made his father so angry. In response to the promise, he nodded to Ying Feng, and followed Chu Wangwei into the Chu Palace.

After the two of them sat down in the study, Sima Ting couldn't help but ask: "Father, I don't know what happened in the court today to make my father so angry?" ”

Chu Wangwei slammed the case, and said angrily: "At today's court meeting, I don't know what Wang Wei of Runan has done to lose his mind, and he actually signed a joint petition to remove his father from the post of auxiliary minister, change the title of general Zhennan, and lead the army south to go back to Jingzhou." In addition to the patriarchs, those courtiers who had taken refuge in Jia Nanfeng also stood up and agreed! ”

Sima Ting was taken aback when he heard this, and said in confusion: "Father, could it be that Wang Liang of Runan and they have joined forces with Empress Jia?" ”

Chu Wangwei nodded hatefully: "In the past half a year, although Empress Jia has repeatedly wanted to expand her influence in the court, we have no patience for our Chu faction and the elder faction to firmly grasp the government, and my father and Wei Qian have not had a good face for Empress Jia, so Empress Jia's power has not been able to extend to the outside of the palace. But what I didn't expect was that seeing that our Chu family was gradually gaining the upper hand, Wei Qian and the others actually compromised with Empress Jia! ”

Sima Ting frowned and said, "Father, even so, if Father insists on not leaving, they will have nothing to do!" ”

Chu Wangwei snorted and said, "Do you know why your father and your mother are in Xiangyang City?" ”

Sima Ting thought for a while and said, "The affairs of the Chu State need to be taken care of by the eldest brother. Moreover, if the eldest brother is in Jingzhou, he can also echo his father in Luoyang City, so that the younger generation will not dare to move. ”

Chu Wangwei snorted and said, "This is just one of them. ”

Sima Ting thought for a moment and said, "Please ask my father for advice." ”

Chu Wangwei sighed and said: "Father and your mother are in Xiangyang City, and there is another purpose, in case something happens to us in Luoyang." Youfan'er and your mother are in charge of the overall situation in the Chu State, and with the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Chu State, they can also keep safe. ”

Sima Ting was surprised: "Father, what can happen in Luoyang now?" Does anyone have the ability to deal with our Chu Palace? ”

Chu Wangwei said with a straight face: "Zidu, remember!" Be prepared for danger in times of peace! Yang Jun was in Luoyang City back then, omnipotent, and even more beautiful than we are now. But what happened? The emperor issued a secret decree, and his father led the Chu army into Beijing, and together with the forbidden army, Yang Jun was uprooted overnight and not a piece of armor was left. ”

Sima Ting frowned and said, "However, our Chu Wangfu is no better than that Yang Jun who did not control the forbidden army. On the contrary, now in Luoyang, we have more than 100,000 forbidden troops and 30,000 Chu troops. If someone wants to move us, what will they do? ”

Chu Wangwei snorted and said, "What if Empress Jia uses the palace guards to attack her father in the palace?" ”

Sima Ting was taken aback, if Empress Jia attacked his father in the palace, then these hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops would be nothing but nothing! You can't save people at all!

Chu Wangwei said in a deep voice: "Zidu." Empress Jia holds the emperor's trump card and the palace guards, and she is already very dissatisfied with our two major factions in the DPRK and China to control the government. My father asked you to marry Princess Qinghe this time, and he originally intended to ease the conflict with Empress Jia. But who knew that the King of Runan was even more ruthless, and he joined forces with Empress Jia directly! It seems that they used to be alone and underestimated them. ”

Sima Ting pondered: "Father, does Empress Jia really dare to attack you in the palace?" ”

Chu Wangwei said in a deep voice: "Before, she would never dare! The two major factions have more than 100,000 forbidden troops, and no matter which side Jia attacks her, she will be abolished for the other side. Hmph, but now, with the king of Runan and Wei Qian, as long as the father is taken in the palace, the left and right armies of the central guard plus the central guard army will cooperate with the palace guards to defend the imperial city......"

Sima Ting's heart was really frightened now. With 70,000 horses guarding the imperial city, it is really unlikely that they will attack it for a while. They commanded the forbidden army to attack the imperial city, if they couldn't make a quick decision, they were afraid that the emperor's holy decree would come down, and the forbidden army would likely mutiny, and they would all die without a place to be buried!

Sima Ting pondered for a long time and said, "Father, has the situation reached this point? ”

Chu Wangwei said: "If my father is willing to go, naturally everything will be solved." But if Father doesn't go, then either they will die or we will die! ”

Sima Ting glanced at Chu Wangwei, and knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for Chu Wangwei to leave. Since then, you can only share with the patriarchal department! He couldn't help but think of the figure of Wei Shuo last night, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, Creation makes people!

Sima Ting shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Chu Wangwei and said in a deep voice: "Father, Empress Jia is insidious and capricious. Although we have joined forces with the king of Runan, if we promise heavy profits, we are not afraid that she will not turn against her. ”

Chu Wangwei pondered for a long time and nodded: "That's the only way." Zidu, tomorrow he will enter the palace with his father. ”
