Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 134 Wu Wanghuo
The King of Shu and the eldest grandson Chong were studying how to ascend to the court, but the King of Wei was furious here, and the King of Wei pointed to the strategist kneeling below and said: "You waste, that little child of the King of Shu can raise food to distribute to the people, why can I only buy it at a high price, if I buy it at this price, even if I sell my entire palace, I can buy a few stones of grain!" ”
The strategists didn't know how the King of Shu raised food, so they could only kneel to the side wordlessly, but Brother Wang, who happened to come back, looked at the three of them and felt funny, looked at King Wei and said, "What are you playing!" ”
King Wei looked at Brother Wang, who was hanging erlang, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Wang He, if you don't bring me back good news like them, you can get out of here!" ”
Wang He pursed his lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "Then I'll get out, I knew that I wouldn't have to bother to find someone, my more than 10,000 brothers!" ”
When King Wei heard this, he laughed, and hurriedly stopped Wang He and said, "Are you saying that you have found more than 10,000 people?" How much does that cost? ”
Wang He took out the banknote that King Wei had given him before from his arms and returned it to him, and said a little proudly: "I told my brother that he supports His Royal Highness King Wei very much, and he said that he can not charge you a penny, but I hope that when you ascend the throne in the future, you can reward him for doing something as an official!" ”
King Wei took the silver ticket and counted it, then looked at Wang He with a smile and said: "This is natural, or Wang He, you are the most reliable, unlike these wastes, who only know how to eat dry rice." ”
Wang He waved his hand and left the room, and said as he walked: "Your Highness, remember to tell me when you make a move, so that I can inform my brothers!" ”
King Wei saw that it was getting dark, and while answering Wang Hehao, he went out with a strategist and went straight to the courtyard where the King of Shu lived.
The two carriages met in the courtyard of the king of Shu, the king of Shu and the king of Wei got off together, and the king of Shu first asked: "The king of Wei is looking for me?" ”
King Wei looked around, and asked while pulling the King of Shu into the courtyard, "Where have you been, why are you still going out casually!" ”
The King of Shu said disapprerovingly: "What's the matter, I won't be allowed to go out, I'll go out for a meal, or King Wei's set meal is delicious!" ”
King Wei looked at the disgusting appearance of the King of Shu and was a little helpless, and immediately asked when he entered the courtyard: "Li Su, what do you want to do, the news that you are collecting grain and giving food to the people outside the past few days has spread throughout Chang'an, do you also want to take the heir!" ”
The King of Shu smiled, looked at the King of Wei and said, "Take the heir?" So His Royal Highness the King of Wei wants to take the heir? ”
King Wei was not in the mood to guess the dumb riddle with him here, and hurriedly said: "What do you want to do, let me tell you that without my nod, it is impossible for you to return to the court, and I don't know where you came from, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, all say that you are benevolent and want you to go to the early dynasty to take over the position of King Wu!" ”
The King of Shu was stunned, the eldest grandson Chong did not tell himself about it before, thinking that it was because there was no result at this time, so he did not say it in detail, at this time after hearing the words of the King of Wei, the King of Shu was full of confidence, if he did not feel threatened, the King of Wei would not come to him for no reason, the King of Shu sighed and said: "Actually, I don't have the idea of taking the heir, I just want to ask for an explanation for the deceased brother, now my father's mind is on the border war, and the death of the imperial brother is no longer pursued, so I must enter the court, so as to avenge him!" ”
King Wei's eyes rolled, he naturally refused to believe all the words of King Shu, but since he said so, he would just go down the slope, and looked at the people everywhere King Wei whispered: "I have raised more than 10,000 people here, have you made up the people over there, we have to ambush in advance to have a chance of winning!" ”
Originally, after the King of Shu discussed with Changsun Chong to assassinate Li Chengqian, he found the King of Wei as soon as possible, and the explanation of the King of Wei was that he thought that Li Chengqian was the mastermind of the assassination of King Wu, so he wanted to take this opportunity to assassinate him.
King Wei naturally refused to let go of the helper who came to the door, and the two hit it off, discussed their respective preparations, and waited until everyone arrived before discussing.
At this time, it was the time when the people were ready, and the King of Wei was naturally impatient to come to the King of Shu for the first time, and the King of Shu also learned that the people under his hands had been gathered at this time, and he also replied to the King of Wei with a smile: "I'm almost done, then let's discuss how to assassinate him!" ”
King Wei took out a map, pointed in the direction of Yizhou City, and said: "Yizhou is the chassis of King Wu, but he is estimated to have no one to use in Chang'an all the year round, and Yizhou has only experienced war, and there are not a few people left, but Jingzhou, which is not far away, is your station, and all the people here have been summoned!" ”
The King of Shu did not speak, but pointed to Youzhou on the side and said: "Jingzhou, Yizhou, Youzhou, the three places are all connected together, if we want to ambush him, we can't avoid the eyes of the King of Chu, it is better to join him to assassinate him this time." ”
King Wei's face was a little not good-looking, and the cooperation between the reward and the king of Chu was a complete failure, but fortunately, he was not too deeply involved, otherwise he was probably already on the way back to the station at this time.
The King of Shu saw the change in King Wei's face, sighed and said: "Look here, there is a mountain forest on the border of Youzhou that can be ambushed, and this place is the only way back to Chang'an, if there is the help of the King of Chu, the probability of success this time will be greatly increased!" ”
King Wei also thought about it, but still said: "The king of Chu should be guarded when he goes back this time, and we can't help it if we want to cooperate with him, I heard that my father sent his most trusted little eunuch to go back, if he doesn't reply to Chang'an on time, his father will send someone to Youzhou to check, and that little eunuch will follow him inch by inch, how do you say we can find him to cooperate!" ”
The King of Shu smiled, pointed at the King of Wei and said, "Second brother, you really don't know your younger brother, with Li You's temper, if that little eunuch is still alive today, I will immediately find a dung pit and jump down and drown myself!" ”
King Wei also thought of his unruly younger brother, nodded and said, "Okay, then we will let our men meet at the border of Youzhou first, and then send two henchmen to talk to King Chu!" ”
The King of Shu nodded, and the King of Wei saw that the sky was about to get dark, and he immediately left the courtyard of the King of Shu.
Let's say that the king of Chu, who was far away in Youzhou, sneezed a few times at this time, and looked at the window that was not closed tightly, and the king of Chu didn't bother to call someone, and slowly got up from the bed to close the window, but suddenly found a dark shadow standing outside the window.
The king of Chu was shocked and wanted to call people, but he saw that the black shadow took off the hat he was carrying on his head, revealing a face that made him very familiar, and the king of Chu pointed at him with some shock: "Aren't you dead?" Are you a human or a ghost? It's not me who hurt you, you go to Li Chengqian and Li Tai, they hurt you! ”
The person on the other side smiled, showed a sunny face and said, "I'm not dead, the one who died is my stand-in." ”
The king of Chu was a little shocked, but the person outside the window said, "Don't you let me in?" ”
The King of Chu walked to the side and opened the door, and said with some doubts: "Third brother, what are you doing, why did you make a scene of being killed, do you know that because your stand-in died, my idea of returning to Chang'an was completely shattered." ”
The person who came was King Wu, and King Wu's legs at this time were not lame, and he was heroic and handsome.
King Wu walked into the house and put the hat aside, looked at King Chu and said, "You can't blame me, I didn't expect my stand-in to be killed, but fortunately, I investigated and determined that this matter had nothing to do with you, so I decided to come to you!" ”
The King of Chu was also full of doubts, looked at King Wu and said, "Tell me what is going on in this matter!" ”
King Wu thought for a while and then said: "Actually, I have been raising that stand-in in the house for many years, except that he is a little shorter than me and his face is a little smaller than me, outsiders can't see it, but acquaintances can see it at a glance, but it doesn't matter." I decided to stay in Chang'an by self-harm, but I definitely couldn't break my leg, so I asked someone to break my stand-in's leg and let the imperial doctor see it, and then I kept hiding in the other hospital. ”
Speaking of this, King Wu picked up the tea on the side and poured himself a cup, and then continued: "My stand-in is also a stingy ghost, and he deliberately found a subordinate who had an enmity with him, and asked him to break his leg, and then tried every means to kill this subordinate, I am very willing to satisfy his idea, because it is more convenient for me to control him." Since then, my stand-in has been enjoying my treatment, he probably knows that his time is short, and he enjoys every day, if I hadn't said that I was sick and didn't see customers, my reputation would have been ruined by him! ”
The king of Chu listened with relish, and hurriedly said: "Yes, after that, how did he die!" ”
King Wu continued: "I have actually been living in a separate courtyard opposite my house, I didn't tell anyone except my henchmen, that night I saw someone sneak into my house, and it didn't take long for the house to come to the fire, after those people left, I returned to the house, and saw a letter written by a stand-in on the table, which was full of allegiance to the Turks and the previous cooperation, but I never told the stand-in about cooperation, I think that the person forced him to write it!" ”
After that, I left the house and found a secret base to hide, I was still thinking about who was ruthless, and I finally determined that it had nothing to do with you, Li Chengqian, and Li Tai, so I was relieved.
The King of Chu listened to a rough idea, but remembered that he was arrested in Chang'an, and hurriedly asked: "Third brother, you are not kind, why did you arrange for someone to ambush Li Chengqian in the morning, and also brought the King of Shu to Chang'an, what are you doing all this for!" ”
King Wu waved his hand and said helplessly: "Do you remember the Wu commander under my hand, I had already found that something was wrong with him, so I deliberately arranged him in the outer courtyard, and I didn't tell him about the stand-in, so I saved my life." ”
