Chapter 41 Ten Standing Servants' Plans, Xiao Zhou "Hi Sen"
The next day, Zhou Qigang finished freshening up and used up the breakfast provided by the palace. I saw someone coming from the gate of the side hall, and it turned out to be the general He Jin, who was invited.
To this, of course, he decisively refused.
Acting has to be done in a full set. Last night, I hugged and hugged Queen He, who was sister, and kneaded and kneaded. almost made this general a brother-in-law. Now the matter has been properly discussed. At this time, of course, you have to avoid suspicion, how can you agree to be a guest in your house?
What's more, now that the Holy Grace is in full swing, there are many people who want to make friends with him. It is a good opportunity to make a fortune. Stand in line too early, and I'm afraid that the benefits that are about to arrive will be lost by more than half in an instant.
Early morning!
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Feng Zhen, Duan Qi, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Jian Shuo, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng.
The ten permanent servants actually gathered at Zhang Rang's residence!
Sending someone to contact Zhou Qi last night was unsuccessful. It made several people really annoyed for a night.
Especially Zhang Rang, the depression in his heart is no less than He Jin. After a while, he became a villain for nothing.
Intentionally evil, right? The new Jingnan Marquis has made meritorious contributions, and at this time he is being appreciated by His Majesty, and he just wants to slander, and the timing is not right.
Blame yourself for looking away! A great opportunity was missed. Now I'm afraid it's going to be cheaper. Hum! When Your Majesty has passed this freshness, it is necessary to find a cause to remove this person!
Just when Zhang Rang was complained by others and was annoyed in his heart. Suddenly received a report.
He Jin sent people to invite Jingnan Hou to the mansion for a banquet and was refused!
Zhang Rang and the others glanced at each other, and there was a hint of relief between their eyebrows.
"Zhang Gong, it seems that this Jingnanhou is fighting left and right, and the two don't help each other!"
Zhang Rang turned his head and saw that it was Jian Shuo who spoke. Nodding slightly, noncommittal to his words. But I thought in my heart, if this is the case, it is not bad, at least there is a chance!
Guo Sheng, who was beside him, took a sip of tea, and suddenly slammed the tea cup on the table.
"Humph! How can a little Jingnan Hou dare to hold his own micro work and wait for the price to sell? ”
Now that this person is getting his will, it is not uncommon for him to have this idea. Why should Guo Gong be angry. Duan Jue smiled, glanced at Guo Sheng, and said with a smile on his face.
Who asked the person sent to contact Zhou Qi last night was Guo Sheng's subordinates. If you don't take the opportunity to stab him at this time, when?
Zhang Rang's gaze swept over the two. Gently lift the teacup and blow away the star anise (spice) foam on the water surface.
"This is a bad thing for our family. It's just that Zhou Qi is not reckless for one term, and he has no net worth at all. I don't know that he still has a heavy treasure in his body. So he walked away. From our family's point of view, this son rejected He Jin, and he should have a plan to avoid the rights and wrongs of the capital. Just get out of the way. ”
Zhang Rang took a shallow sip of tea soup and continued.
"Put this matter aside for the time being, since he is in a hurry to leave Beijing, why don't we secretly use some means to help him? One is to sell his personal favor and leave a few thoughts of recruiting this person in the future. Second, doesn't this person want to wait for the price and sell? Instead of letting He Jin sell well with him, it is better to strike first. ”
"What Zhang Gong said is very true!" Zhao Zhong patted his hands lightly.
"This person led the troops to Wuling, the head of the soldiers and horses, we can't stretch out our hands, but this money and food? Why don't you allocate the grain and grass allocated to He Jin's command next month to this person to increase the gap between the two? What do you think? ”
"Zhao Gong's plan is wonderful! In our opinion, that's it. "Feng Zhen heard the words and high-fived and praised kindness.
When Zhang Rang heard this, he also smiled. This plan to kill two birds with one stone is really a good calculation.
At this time, he saw that everyone else looked at Zhao Zhong with admiration on their faces. I couldn't help but feel a hint of jealousy in my heart. Hmph, you can't let Zhao Zhong specialize in beauty, in the long run, I am afraid that my position as the head of the ten permanent servants will be shaken. I had an idea.
"Zhao Gong has a good plan, but that's not enough! Thinking that Zhou Qi came all the way to Luoyang, even the horses were owned by Sergeant He Jinjun. Why don't we make a suggestion to Your Majesty, give Zhou Qi a suit of armor, and then we will deliver it to him. Thinking that this person is a martial artist, and suddenly obtains the armor of the divine soldier, he will be overjoyed and grateful to us. This matter was implemented together with Zhao Gong's plan, which should cut off his idea of taking refuge in He Jin! ”
"It's still Zhang Gong's far-reaching! In this way, if this person is subdued, with his soldiers and horses outside, I can wait in the court to suppress He Jin! ”
Don't mention Zhang Rang and others, they will stop their plans and go their separate ways.
Zhou Qi refused He Jin's invitation, led by the guards, and went all the way to the Taiwei Mansion. Things went far smoother than he imagined, and it was even easier than getting an ID card in reality. In less than 1 hour, the tiger talisman seal that transferred troops and horses fell into his hands!
The power is in his hands, and from today he has become a prince of the imperial court, holding heavy troops and sitting on one side! All that remains is to wait for the soldiers, horses, food and grass to assemble and stop, and then you can leave Beijing on a certain day!
Zhou Qi went out from the Taiwei Mansion with a "hi sen" face, and before he went far, he was stopped by a team of cars and horses coming in front of him.
At this point, a member of the family will walk out of the convoy. Walked quickly to Zhou Qi's front and looked at him slightly. He clasped his hands into fists and saluted.
"The villain dares to ask, but the front is General Jingnan Hou Zhou?"
Zhou Qi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the forces of all parties were so well-informed, so he rejected He Jin, and he was targeted. He wouldn't have believed that the caravan had just happened to pass by. He nodded immediately.
"Yes, it's Zhou."
"General Zhou, my family has been waiting here for a long time, please talk in the general's car."
"Sure enough."
"I wonder which lord in the court invited me to meet?"
"General Hui Zhou, my lord is Lord Wang Yun of the imperial history of the court."
"Wang Yun? What does he ask me for? Zhou Qi muttered in his heart.
Others don't say it, but Situ Wang Yun has a deep memory. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was this person who used Diao Chan's beauty to set up a series of schemes to separate Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, making Lu Xiaoqiang's classmate angry and killing Dong Zhuo.
Zhou Qiwei nodded, and followed the general to the front of the car quickly. As soon as he walked to the front of the car, he saw the curtain of the car lifted, and an elderly man wearing a crown and a court uniform stuck out of the car and smiled at him, beckoning him to get in the car and talk.
Zhou Qi hesitated a little and then raised his feet to get into the car, no matter what the other party wanted to do, he naturally understood after hearing it.
"Hehe, General Zhou, don't be suspicious, Yun has already heard about what happened in the DPRK and China yesterday. Su Wen General is brave, this time to quell the Yellow Turban disaster thanks to the general's hand blade thief chief, today I was fortunate to meet on the road, so I rashly invited the general to see. Wang Yun smiled, looked Zhou Qi up and down with his eyes, and said slowly.
"It was an honor for Zhou to be invited by Lord Wang. Adults invited, I don't know what to command? ”
"Good! General Zhou is really a cheerful person. If you don't dislike it, there is Wang Yun's mansion not far ahead, why not go to the mansion for a drink? ”
Hearing him say this, Zhou Qi's face was happy, but his heart was embarrassed. It seems that you said the same thing when you invited Lu Xiaoqiang into the mansion......
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Lord Wang invites you, how dare Zhou Qi refuse."
It didn't take long for the car to stop. As the family opened the curtain, Zhou Qidang got out of the car first, helped Wang Yun, and followed him all the way into the mansion.
When they came to the central hall, the guests and hosts sat down on their knees. Then the maidservants and servants brought bowls, chopsticks, and wine cups. It didn't take long for the desk in front of Zhou Qi to be filled with a table of dishes.
"I happened to meet the general this time, Wang Yun is happy, the general, please drink this lamp." Saying that, Wang Yun scooped up a bowl of wine from the wine beside him, drank it in one gulp, and did it first as a respect.
The alcohol in this era is not high, and Zhou Qi drank it in Weiyang Palace yesterday. With his physique, it's okay to drink dozens of pounds. You're not welcome at the moment, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Saying that this feeling is deep, is it a mouthful of stuffiness to pass down at this time?
The two toasted each other and drank several glasses in a row.
After a while, the wine in the house gradually gets drunk!
When Wang Yun picked up the wine cup again, he stopped in mid-air, looking at Zhou Qi with drunken eyes.
"I wonder what the general thinks about the affairs of the DPRK and China today?"
Zhou Qi smiled in his heart, it seemed that the topic was coming. Gently place the wine cup in your hand on the table.
"Let the adults make fun of it. Zhou Qiyi introduced the grass people, and he was not deep in the court, how could he have any opinion. ”
"Hehe, the general has a shallow foundation, there are clouds since ancient times, and it is difficult to sing alone, and it is the time to become an official in the dynasty when he needs help. General Yunwen entered the palace yesterday, first rejected the invitation of Zhang Rang and others, and returned to the invitation of General He Jin this morning. But I don't know why? ”
When Zhou Qi heard this, his face changed slightly. It's a shame you didn't check the water meter. After a moment's thought, he answered.
"Zhou Mou came to be loyal to the country, and he invited himself to the border, not to stand alone. I really don't want to get involved in this court dispute. I hope that the adults will see it. ”
When Wang Yun heard this, his face turned straight.
General Zhou's words are wrong. Since ancient times, once you enter the temple gate, the abyss is as deep as the sea. Nowadays, the eunuchs of the government and the opposition are dictatorial, and their relatives are interfering in politics, even if the generals have the intention of cleaning themselves up, the world is so big, where can they hide? ”
Zhou Qi's mind turned, hearing this, Wang Yun should belong to the conservatives in the DPRK and China. From ancient times to the present, winning over one faction and suppressing the other faction has been an indispensable link in the struggle. In that case, why not give him some surprise?
"Adults see each other with sincerity, and Zhou Qi is not hypocritical. Today's ten permanent servants are arrogant, contrary to the last instructions of the ancestors and eunuchs not to interfere in politics, deceive the superiors and subordinates, and cause chaos to the dynasty. Although Zhou Qi is a wild man, he disdains to be in the same stream as such a small family. ”
"The general He Jin, as a relative, is suspected of interfering in politics, but what he relies on is His Majesty's favor to his sister Empress He, and the lesser of the two evils. Zhang Rang and other eunuchs are like black sheep, carrion tumors. If such scourges are allowed to occur, sooner or later this great Han country will die in their hands. ”
When Wang Yun heard this, his eyes were clear, where was there any sense of wine!
"According to the general's words, what should I do?"
Listening to his smooth tone, he couldn't hide a bit of excitement.
Zhou Qi laughed, and held the tile with wine next to the desk with both hands. After raising his head and taking a few big sips, he sang loudly:
"Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has not been tried. Show you today, who has injustice! Please wait and see! ”
As soon as Zhou Qi's voice fell, he heard a soft "snap" in the back hall, as if something had fallen to the ground.
After listening to Zhou Qi's words, Wang Yun's face was happy, and when he heard the voice, he was afraid that Zhou Qi would be suspicious. He opened his mouth and laughed.
"Diao Chan Wu'er, you can come out and meet General Zhou."
With a slender jade hand, the hanging bead curtain was gently lifted. A stunning beauty in a long water-colored dress with a fallen ponytail on her head walked out from behind the curtain.
"Father-in-law."
Li's mouth called softly, pulled the corners of her skirt, and sat down beside Wang Yun gracefully. Only then did he raise his head, his autumn-like eyes glanced at Zhou Qi, and the corners of his mouth smiled.
"I didn't think I would see you for a few days, but now the little woman is going to call your Excellency a general."
"Diao Chan Wu'er, have you met General Zhou before?" Wang Yun was taken aback when he heard this, turned his head to look at Diao Chan and asked.
"Well, I met on the battlefield in Jizhou, and my daughter was fortunate enough to have learned the methods of General Zhou."
Zhou Qi looked at Diao Chan's gaze, and saw that there was a faint battle intent rising in the lacquered eyes of this big beauty, and he secretly slandered himself in his heart.
Girl, can we not hold grudges so much?
