Chapter 34: The New King (2)

Early the next morning, Gu Beicheng was sitting on the main hall, the officials stood in the hall in an orderly manner, after yesterday's Zhuang Heng so trouble, in order to avoid the recurrence of the incident due to the new king's succession, Mrs. Zhuang Ji made an exception to listen to the government, in order to deter hundreds of officials.

"Your Majesty, all the people in the ** palace have been ambushed yesterday, and the other private soldiers involved in it are waiting for the king!" General Li Zhen stepped forward and knelt on one knee and bowed his hand.

Gu Beicheng stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, and looked at the officials in the hall, they heard all the ambushes, and began to bow their heads and whisper, as if they had something to say.

"What do you think you should do?" Gu Beicheng asked tentatively.

The hall was silent for an instant, and these officials only knew how to bow their heads one by one, although Gu Beicheng was the son of the previous king, and his name was justified, and it was understandable.

But in their eyes, after all, they are still a child, how can they afford the whole of Beili? So I didn't bother to discuss political affairs with him, but Mrs. Zhuang Ji was here, and she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

This one-man show was really embarrassing, Gu Beicheng secretly looked at his mother, hoping to ask for some help, but although Mrs. Zhuang Ji sat behind the curtain, she didn't say a word.

A small eunuch outside the hall followed behind a general wearing the armor of the Southern Jin Dynasty, trotted away, and said anxiously: "My lord, the king is discussing political affairs with the adults, you can't go in now!" The tone was very hurried.

"Get out of the way!" The Southern Jin Dynasty pushed away the little eunuch angrily, "It's a joke, there are still places in the whole Beili where this official can't go?" The tone is aggressive.

The envoy suddenly broke into the main hall, and his arrival immediately broke the original atmosphere, but eased the embarrassment a little.

Even so, Jiedu made this posture of no one in his eyes also made everyone present feel very angry, Gu Beicheng looked at him with a burning gaze.

The little eunuch only glanced at Gu Beicheng, and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, lying there shivering, and explained nervously: "Your Majesty, the slave should die!" Minions are really ......"

"You go down first." Gu Beicheng waved his hand at the little eunuch who was sincerely afraid, such an arrogant and domineering envoy, it was strange that the little eunuch could stop it.

"You Beili are really bold! Not only did he secretly bring back the proton, but he didn't reveal it to the saint, and he secretly proclaimed the new king! How? Do you want to do the opposite? "The Southern Jin Dynasty Festival makes this unstoppable appearance, which is really tiresome.

The originally quiet hall immediately exploded, and the ministers whispered, the bold ones looked at each other, and the bolder ones shook their heads and sighed, and now any person from the Southern Jin Dynasty seems to be able to be proud in this hall.

Jie Du's gaze couldn't help but fall on Gu Beicheng's body, he looked like a child, but his delicate face was cold.

A pair of eyes as deep as a cold pool, there is no emotion, there seems to be a cold air around him, although the festival makes the station far away from him, he does not shudder.

Jiedu Envoy glanced at Gu Beicheng again, he wasn't sure if the person in front of him was really just a child?

Mrs. Zhuang Ji noticed that Gu Beicheng had unknowingly pinched the judge's pen in his hand, and his tolerance for the Jiedu envoy had almost reached the limit.

Just after the battle of the eastern corner, Beili is now temporarily unable to compete with the Southern Jin Dynasty, and at this moment, it is absolutely impossible to force it.

The new king is young, and the ministers are restless, which can be described as internal and external troubles, and if he is not careful, the court will be turbulent, and even invite the disaster of destroying the country.

Mrs. Zhuang Ji came out from behind the curtain, walked towards the Jiedu envoy and said with a smile: "Jiedu makes this say outward, Beili has already surrendered to the Southern Jin Dynasty, why do you still divide you and me?" Isn't it all a family? ”

"Humph! In that case, why did he secretly bring it back to the world? If you want to make a new king, why don't you report it? Jie Du Envoy held the hilt of the knife at his waist, his head was raised, and his tone was aggressive, Bei Li did this to put him on the tip of the knife.

Mrs. Zhuang Ji put her hand into her sleeve, quickly took off a bracelet of mutton fat jade, secretly stuffed it into the hand of the Jiedu envoy, and said casually: "It happened suddenly, and we had to do it as a last resort, not to embarrass the envoy." ”

Jiedu made a look at the mutton fat jade, which is priceless, and made a lot of money, he took it, hurriedly put it into his arms, his attitude changed three hundred and sixty degrees, and he put his hands behind his back, and said very understandingly: "The matter is indeed relatively sudden, since this is the case, the official will explain this matter to the saint." ”

"Then there will be a labor festival." Gu Beicheng stood aside, watching Mrs. Zhuang Ji grovel to a Southern Jin official, he held the judge's pen in one hand, and the other hand behind his back, clenched into a fist.

The envoy turned around and walked a few steps outside the hall, then turned back and said to Mrs. Zhuang Ji in a thoughtful manner: "Madame, let's send people back as soon as possible, don't make this official too embarrassed, otherwise things will be difficult to handle, you know?" With that, he glanced at Gu Beicheng again.

"That's a natural ......" Zhuang Ji bowed his head slightly in a humble and polite manner, and ordered: "Come on, send the festival to the envoy!" ”

Jiedu made a swaggering walk towards the outside of the hall, the two palace people lowered their heads, followed him respectfully, and sent him out of the palace all the way.

Mrs. Zhuang Ji's act of bribing the officials of the Southern Jin Dynasty, Gu Beicheng saw it all, and he deeply realized how difficult and aggrieved it was for the monarch's father, the king of Northern Li.

Not only Gu Beicheng saw it, but some officials in the hall also saw it, in the current situation, any problem that can be solved with money should be secretly happy, but there are inevitably people who are indignant.

"Humph! What an insult to the name of the previous king! After a minister said angrily, he turned around and was about to leave before he could retreat.

Yes, if Gu Qiang was still alive, she would never be allowed to flatter the Southern Jin Dynasty like this, if Gu Qiang was still alive, then the Southern Jin Dynasty would never dare to rush to the top of the main hall with arrogance, if ......

However, there is no if in this world, even though she has just lost her husband, she is not qualified to grieve for her deceased husband like an ordinary woman, and she has never been comforted.

It is necessary to quickly restrain the sadness, pick up the sword like a man, protect the young new king, cut through thorns and thorns all the way, pull the scarred Beili, and move forward with difficulty, every step is like walking on thin ice.

"Stop!" Mrs. Zhuang Ji held back the tears in her eyes, looked at the official, and reprimanded: "Insulting the first king? When did my Zhuang Ji do something that humiliated the previous king? Everything I have done, this pile, one by one, is worthy of Beili, and I have a clear conscience! ”

Zhuang Ji's words were loud, and the voice echoed in the hall, adding a lot of majesty to her already righteous and awe-inspiring temperament, and it seemed even more imposing, and the birds resting on the trees outside the hall were scattered in all directions.

The official was indignant and asked Zhuang Ji unrelentingly: "I'm Beili!" When? It became necessary to bribe a small envoy of the Southern Jin Festival! Can you live in peace? ”

She categorically didn't expect that the ministers above this hall were not concerned about the precarious situation or the safety of Gu Beicheng, but the face of the food that could not satisfy hunger and the weapons that could not charge into battle, and her heart couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Beili's current situation, don't you know?" Zhuang Ji raised his hand and pointed at everyone in the hall, waving his hand too hard, and his feet staggered.

Gu Beicheng lightly touched the ground, like an arrow off the string, flew over and held it, looked at Mrs. Zhuang Ji distressedly, and called softly: "Mother......"

Zhuang Ji's eyes flashed with scorching light, turned his head to look forward to the high throne, pointed his finger at the ministers, and asked indignantly: "Who died on the battlefield for Beili?" Who endured humiliation and burden, and traveled thousands of miles to the Southern Jin Dynasty in exchange for your current stability? ”

The officials above the court are sometimes like weeds that grow randomly on the wall, although they are vigorous, they have no strong stems, and as long as the wind blows, they will sway from side to side.

The official was speechless in an instant, his eyes flickered, his expression was solemn, and the other officials in the hall suddenly became heavy and guilty.

Although she is Mrs. Zhuang Ji of Beili, she is also a woman, and it is easy to get out of the sorrow of separation of flesh and blood, and she fell into the pain of losing her husband in an instant.

For the sake of Beili, he also lowered his status with contempt and self-deprecation, grovelled in front of the officials of the Southern Jin Dynasty, flattered and laughed, but in the end he was not understood and criticized.

Mrs. Zhuang Ji's hands trembled slightly and pressed her chest, tears welled up in her eyes, and slowly fell down her cheeks, Gu Beicheng's face was unusually calm, he raised his hand and gently wiped away his tears for his mother with his sleeves.

Looking at Mrs. Zhuang Ji and Gu Beicheng in the hall, Li Zhen bore the brunt of it, knelt down in front of Mrs. Zhuang Ji and Gu Beicheng, kowtowed: "Minister, Li Zhen, I am willing to swear allegiance to follow the king, if you violate this oath, you will not die well!" ”

The ministers in the palace knelt down one after another, and kowtowed in unison: "The ministers are willing to swear allegiance to Beili and follow the king's ......!" ”

Gu Beicheng naturally couldn't return to the Southern Jin Dynasty to be a proton, but in this way, even if Beili completely broke with the Southern Jin Dynasty, anyway, if he continued to be a vassal country, Beili would never come out, and he was about to face the risk of losing the country, so it was better to give it a go, maybe there was a turnaround.

At night of the same day, Gu Beicheng secretly summoned General Li Zhen and ordered him to bring the Northern Li army.

Li Zhen received the order and went out of the palace, and the first thing he did was to quickly block all the city gates on the grounds that he wanted to secretly mourn the king according to the monarchical system, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Because the envoy of the Southern Jin Dynasty received the benefits of Mrs. Zhuang Ji, he naturally did not interfere arbitrarily, and saw that white flags were hung everywhere in the city, and believed it to be true, so he turned a blind eye to this matter.

At night, when he went to bed, he couldn't put it down and played with the mutton fat jade bracelet given to him by Mrs. Zhuang Ji, such a good mutton fat jade, he probably couldn't earn one-tenth of it in his life.

He couldn't find a place to store it safely in the whole house, so when he wanted to sleep, he put it in the arms of his underwear, and then he fell asleep peacefully.

As soon as the time passed, Gu Beicheng and Li Zhen divided into two routes, Li Zhen was responsible for strangling the Southern Jin Dynasty garrison, Gu Beicheng led the troops to sneak into the Jiedu envoy's mansion, and personally killed the Jiedu envoy in a dream, and did not forget to take back Mrs. Zhuang Ji's mutton fat jade bracelet.

Overnight, the people of the Southern Jin Dynasty stationed in Beili were slaughtered......
