"Now that you have done this, don't regret it, I hope that one day the world will be peaceful, Miss Wei can understand Gongzi's painstaking efforts," You Quartet saw that I was silent, knowing that I was in a heavy mood, so he deliberately opened the topic, took out a letter from his arms, handed it to me, and said: "I found the person that Gongzi asked me to find, your guess is not wrong, he is really still alive, and he also has a correspondence with someone in Dijing, but I didn't expect this letter to be obtained by us first." ”

I looked at the beam of the room for a long time, first silently thought of a name in my heart, and then took the letter, opened it, and sure enough.

"Brother Changfeng is like a letter when he sees it." When the king read this, he almost laughed out loud.

Chen Changfeng, Chen Changfeng, so it is, so it is.

What did Zhao Mengqing say to this king after the birthday banquet?

"And today, Chen Changfeng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also wants to borrow the next volume of "Seven Kingdoms Gods and Warriors" with me, I forgot where to put it under the pretext that he has an upright personality, in case he runs to the emperor and I lose the book in the library, I will be punished for a small matter, and the emperor will see that the next volume is a big matter."

It turns out that you borrowed the next volume from Zhao Mengqing not unintentionally or uprightly, but deliberately designed it for it.

Lord Zhao's intuition is really accurate.

But he said that this king had already noticed a little bit, so before he opened the letter, he took out the name in his head.

When did I become suspicious of him?

It is probably also Zhao Mengqing's birthday banquet.

Since Chen Changfeng and his position in the Ministry of War were the official secretaries, he has always been a maverick and pursued the principle of "being strict with his own duties and not being in the same stream." For many years, he has never had any dealings with other officials. There is even a rule that is not explicitly stated, that is, not to attend the banquet with the traitor - so, leaving aside the emperor's wedding where the ministers had to go, he did not show up at the wedding banquet between the king and Qin Buxian, because Gao Shu and Li Jingtang went.

is such a traitorous Chen Changfeng who regards traitors as enemies, but he went to Zhao Mengqing's birthday banquet, is it because Lord Zhao is graceful and left and right, or because Lord Chen wants to take this opportunity to explore the truth?

This king can't be sure, but fortunately, it was a game for Qin Buxian to see that day, and it was okay to show him.

After all, when Wei Tian got married, he once took Gao Ji's copy of the Nanguo Mansion Concerto, led the king to a remote corner, and when the king asked him suspiciously how he got this concerto, he replied like this-

Since His Highness asked, the lower official replied one by one. Xiaguan had an accident out of the city last night, and hurried back today, but met a bandit who robbed people but did not rob money not far from the city gate. The lower officials hid in the mountains and forests in the rear for a long time, and finally found that after they let the tall adults leave, they took off their scarves, and they were all faces in His Royal Highness's army, and the leading one was particularly familiar, and in the past fifteen years, the only deputy general of the Nanguo Mansion, Xu Guangguang. ”

At that time, the king was afraid that he would take Xu Guangguang's handle and then make a threatening move against the king, so he only panicked in his heart, and secretly complained that Xu Guangguang had traveled a hundred miles and half of the ninety, and that this errand was not done properly, and he had not carefully pondered the truth of Chen Changfeng's words.

But after Zhao Mengqing's birthday banquet, this king thought about it seriously and understood that there were many loopholes in his words.

First, he went out of the city last night and rushed back today, why was it so coincidental that he happened to meet Xu Guang robbing people?

Second, before Xu Guangguang left the city, the king told him that the journey from Nanguo Mansion to the Imperial Palace was very long, and opportunities to do it were everywhere, and Xu Guangguang knew my intentions, so he shouldn't do it in a place where there was a frequent flow of people "not far from the city gate" - so, it was either Xu Guangguang who deliberately chose this place, or Chen Changfeng lied;

Third, the purpose of Xu Guangguang's trip is to get the bastard note, he has been by my side for many years, and he is very clear about the goal of an operation, there should not be a mistake of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, only caring about beating Gao Ji and forgetting to take the concerto, let alone not cleaning up the "battlefield", let this victorious watermelon let passers-by pick it up.

With these loopholes in mind, the rest can be figured out.

This king once thought that Chen Changfeng had seen what was written in the chapter, "Let the children of the Nanguo Mansion enter the boudoir to warm the tent, and the building to paint the boat to earn silver taels; Send the women of the Southern Kingdom Mansion into a foreign country to befriend the generals and princes of the countries, and unite to resist the reckless thieves and thieves in the south", and in a fit of anger, he wanted to defect to the king, so he said, "I have long been unaccustomed to His Majesty's many actions and behaviors towards the Southern Mansion, if His Royal Highness intends to be the emperor, Changfeng will be the first to participate" This kind of thing should not appear in the palace at the least, even if it is a remote corner of the palace.

So, for the purpose of protecting him, I took away the copy of the seal, denied my idea of wanting to be the emperor, and advised him to be an official with peace of mind and not to act rashly: "It was never my intention to be called the emperor, this is just a means, I just want Nanguo Mansion to have a good future that I can look forward to." Besides, this road is long and obstructive, and there is no turning back, so you must not stand in line and get involved in unnecessary imperial power battles, let alone lose your life because of it. The change of throne is very chaotic, who knows who will die in the end, you take care of yourself. An official like you, a good life is the future of Nanguo Mansion. ”

But now, the king fully understands what he said and did that for.

He is an introduction - it is the introduction for the master behind the scenes to determine whether the king is loyal, to understand when the king will make a move, and to use Gao Ji's recital to the Nanguo Mansion to stimulate the king to act as soon as possible.

In fact, before seeing this secret letter sent to the imperial capital to Chen Changfeng today, this king still had a trace of trust, and felt that the master behind Chen Changfeng must not be the one, and now this king only wants to slap himself in the face, it turns out that these people are all in a gang.

So at the beginning of the year, the king returned to the dynasty, he stood up to speak for the king, in fact, he did not necessarily really feel that the king's soldiers fought bravely in the south, nor did he necessarily feel that the relief of the fear of the thief's invasion was gratifying and commendable to my Dajin, and even, even the later sentence "My Dajin has dominated the Central Plains for 50 years, and the good son Lang is in his prime, resisting the invasion of thieves and robbers, and protecting his wife and children inside" is not necessarily really from the position of Dajin.

He should be like them, he doesn't care about how my Dajin is, but cares about Nanguo Mansion - whether it can become Nanguo again.

As for the things that have been said for the king, or for the king's ears, they must have been said for the sake of the king's allies.

I read the secret letter slowly, and what was said in the letter was not much different from what I had guessed in my heart, so I suddenly felt that I could hold everything, and I was unconsciously in a good mood, raised my eyebrows, and said to Youfang: "Prepare hot water and clean clothes, I want to bathe and change clothes, and go to see that old friend." ”

You Sifang showed a shrewd and cute smile: "It seems that Childe is very sure." ”

I squinted and smiled, "Yes, my son is very sure that he can scare him." ”

At the beginning of the day, the day stopped, and the moonlight was already light and light, and it coincided with the rootless water falling again, weaving into a rain curtain in a stream, until the moonlight was blocked by the shadow.

Wind and rain are fresh.

The king held a bamboo umbrella, carrying a pot of osmanthus wine, from the Xiyuan all the way leisurely to the door of this old friend, during the passage through a large area of carefully cultivated bamboo forest to cover the door, the mood is very comfortable, only feel that this cold autumn scenery has become a clear spring, the mind comes to Su Dongpo's song "Dingfeng Wave", I can't hate to recite on the spot "Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not chant and Xu Xing." Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A cloud of smoke and rain is Ren Ping's life".

The wine in his hand was obtained from Liang Qiugu, no more, no less, exactly ten years of aging, and the same as the original king's treasured mansion, but the king's current state of mind is the same as the original judgment.

Now, this king seems to be stepping on the fairy clouds to overlook this absurd immortal of the world, and he is no longer the sentimental prince who went to Xixi Realm with the wine jar, kneeled in the mud and dug the grave with his bare hands, buried osmanthus wine, and made the grave of the deceased.

After walking through the bamboo forest, I walked a few hundred steps to the door of the small house made of bamboo. When I was about to knock on the door, I paused, and many scenes from the past were in my mind, and I wanted to pick an old story to come out and talk to him, but in the end I gave up.

Go with the flow, you should see people and talk about people, and talk nonsense when you see ghosts. So he let go of his old feelings and knocked on the door three times.

A familiar voice came from the house: "Who is it?" ”

I didn't answer, I knocked three more times.

Footsteps came from inside the house to the door.

The door opened a crack.

I handed over a jar of osmanthus wine from the rain, raised the umbrella that originally covered my face, smiled at him, and said, "Don't come to harm, Gonggong Lu." ”
