Chapter 123: Appeasing King Rui
"Hmm." Xiangche nodded, his cheeks flushed slightly, "Last year, not long after you left, the prince asked me to go to Xiangzhou, set up a bureau to rescue the prince of Jue, and entered the palace of the king of Jue. He has been very nice to me for a year. ”
"Really?" Mu Yu was skeptical, thinking that from Sikong Rong, Sikong Huang to Sikong Cong, there was no fuel-efficient lamp, when she first met the green valerian, she also said that Yuan Ranchong was good to her, but she was afraid that the incense car would also pretend to cover it up.
Xiangche smiled, knowing that Mu Mo was worried, so he comforted him in a loud voice: "Don't worry, I'm really good." Lord Jue...... Unlike many of the princes and nobles I know, he ...... He is a trustworthy person. ”
"I'm really happy when you say that." Mu Mo looked at the incense car, thinking of the expression of Alfalfa and Wei Ruan when they went to the Tuoba Department, so he was slightly relieved, and took out the roster given to her by Green Valerian and the booklet that recorded Kyoto affairs from his arms, "You have come to Kyoto for the first time, and you can use all of this." There are many people in the palace, and it is inconvenient for us to say more. The situation in Kyoto is treacherous, so be careful. ”
"Hmm", Xiangche agreed, taking the roster into his arms, "Thank you." ”
"Miss!" The little maid of the incense car shouted and looked at and asked.
Mu Yu glanced at the incense car and left quickly.
When I went to the rockery of the Royal Garden, I suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures pulling and pulling, and hurriedly followed.
I saw Lu Zhen wearing an official uniform in a green coat and a black hat, pulling Shi Shao's sleeve, panting and asking, "What are you running?!" ”
Shi Shao was wearing a plain white obscene robe, angrily threw the blue and black official uniform to the ground, and asked: "You didn't see it, what kind of black miasma is that?!" The group of people are hypocritical and aggrieved, flattering and flattering, all of which are words that show their loyalty! How can anyone put the emperor in their eyes?! I can't stay for a moment on an occasion like this! ”
"Shi Shao, calm down!" Lu Zhen grabbed Shi Shao and scolded in a low voice, "What is the situation in the palace now?" Do you dare to speak so blatantly? Think about Xiang Xiang, think about Yan Hua, think about Wang Xing, why did Sikong Rong recruit us as officials? Do you think you really appreciate your talents? It's just a false name for 'Corporal Lixian'! ”
"I can see it!" Shi Shao sneered and looked at Lu Zhen in disappointment, "At the beginning, when Emperor Hui recruited us, you swore that you would work for the people's society, and it was all a lie!" In order to be an official, you can ignore face, but I still want face. If being an official is only to flatter a traitor like Sikong Rong, such an official should not be! ”
"Hehe, Shi Shaogongzi is a virtuous person in the end, different from a villain like us. Since the demise of Eastern Wu, my Lu family has long been unprincipled from Jiangzuo to Jin Song, why didn't you recognize my true face when you first befriended me? Instead, he waited for Lu Mi to fall, and still trusted me, who took refuge in the Lu family? ”
Lu Zhentie blushed, shook off Shi Shao, and asked rhetorically in a strange tone.
When Shi Shao heard this, his face turned purple with anger, he was speechless for a while, he snorted, stomped on the official uniform that fell to the ground a few times, still trembling and glaring at Lu Zhen for a long time, and suddenly tore off his robe and left.
Lu Zhen stared at Shi Shao's torn robe, tears burst out of his eyes, and he trembled with anger.
"Six-child girl?" Someone behind him screamed softly.
Mu Yu's heart froze, and when he turned around, he found that Tang Ning was standing behind him at some point.
Tang Ning looked at Mu Yu with some surprise, and his eyes were full of inquiry: "You...... What are you doing? ”
Mu Mo suppressed his panic, forced his composure, and generously pointed to Lu Zhen, who had just wiped his tears and left: "Fang Cai...... I saw Lu Zhen and Shi Shaogongzi have a big fight...... The two of them...... What's wrong? ”
"Lu Zhen and Shi Shao?" Tang Ning was slightly stunned, followed Mu Yu's fingers and looked in the direction where Lu Zhen left, saw the official uniform thrown on the ground and the half-torn white sleeves, he already understood, sighed slightly, and informed, "At the banquet tonight, Prince Rong conveyed the emperor's edict and sealed Prince Lu Zhen as a member of the army, and it was dispatched by Prince Rui; named Shi Shaogongzi as a servant and served beside the emperor. Shi Shaogongzi was originally very happy and was about to accept the appointment, who knew that Wang Ye Rong ...... Suddenly, he sent an edict to my crown prince Zhan Shi, and let the little son of the prince's family be taught to read by the way. When Shi Shaogongzi heard this, he had an argument with Prince Rong. ”
"And then?" Mu Mo was a little surprised, both surprised by Sikong Rong's increasingly explicit desires, and surprised by Shi Shao's courage to argue with Sikong Rong. Sikong Rong...... According to his temperament, can he spare Shi Shao?
At this time, Lu Zhengongzi was on the side to relieve the siege and said a few good words for Rong Wangye, and everyone also complimented Rong Wangye a few words, and Rong Wangye was angry. But Shi Shaogongzi couldn't bear it, and left the banquet with his sleeves, and Shi Shaogongzi also chased out under the pretext of leaving the banquet. Just now, when Wang Ye Rong saw that Shi Shao and Lu Zhen had not returned, he asked me to come out to look for them, it seems that ......"
Tang Ning looked at the fallen official uniform, and couldn't help but sigh again, "Shi Shaogongzi is virtuous, but in today's situation, as human ministers, shouldn't we endure humiliation and find ways to maneuver from it?" We are soft-spoken, even if we think 'I'd rather be broken than broken', in the end, we can only hit the stone with an egg and damage ourselves......"
"Sikong Rong...... I mistrusted you......"
A drunken voice wafted into his nose with the rich smell of wine, Mu Mo and Tang Ning wrinkled their noses at the same time, and followed the direction of the smell of wine, and saw a burly figure wearing a purple shirt and gold tortoiseshell crotch armor, staggering back and forth with a wine jug.
Mu Mo and Tang Ning glanced at each other, stepped forward to support Sikong Rui, and asked, "Lord Rui...... How are you? ”
"I ...... I can't live with my third brother...... I don't have the face to see the fifth brother......"
The red and purple on Sikong Rui's face burned from his neck to the root of his ears, and the tough guy with a beard also snorted, his eyes were red and swollen with tears, and he muttered, "Kill your own brother and assist the traitor...... I...... What kind of loyal and good general......"
Mu Mo glanced at Tang Ning, Tang Ning was a little at a loss, and the two of them tacitly thought of the reason for Sikong Rui's resentment.
"Don ...... Zhan Shi, Prince Rui is drunk, and returning to the banquet also makes Prince Rong angry, shall I send him back first? ”
Mu Mo supported Sikong Rui, raised his eyes to Tang Ning, and relieved the siege in time.
Tang Ning hesitated, clenched his fists and made a gesture to Mu Yu: "There is Miss Lao!" ”
"It's all right, Don...... Tang Shilang take care. Mu Mo thought for a moment, still called Tang Ning's previous official position, said goodbye to Tang Ning with a light smile, helped Sikong Rui, and came to the place where he slept in the palace.
Sikong Rui waved the wine jug, his cheeks were red with drunkenness, his fingers dangled in front of his eyes, and he pointed at Mu Yu tremblingly, his eyes were misty: "You...... You're right! Sikong Rong...... Let him protect the country for the emperor......"
Sikong Rui sneered, hung his head helplessly, and muttered to himself, "It's all to blame for ...... at the beginning."
"At the beginning...... How? Mu Mo approached Sikong Rui and asked.
"At the beginning...... Sikong allows for promises...... wants to kill Lu Hou to rehabilitate the third brother...... Behold...... He killed Empress Lu...... but his actions are better than those of Empress Lu...... Hehe...... I still trusted him? ”
Sikong Rui shook his head helplessly, laughed at himself twice, and beat his neck with red eyes, "It's all my fault...... killed the third brother...... Hurt the emperor...... The fifth brother saw Sikong Rong's arrogant appearance at the banquet today...... What to think...... What should I think of him before he left the palace...... I swear that I will protect the emperor...... Protect the third brother......"
"Lord Rui ......" Mu Yu sighed, knowing that the third brother Sikong Kun and the fifth brother Sikong Jue in Sikong Rui's mouth were both maternal brothers born to Emperor Xuan's aesthetic people, and Sikong Rui, as the second son of Emperor Xuan, was the closest to Sikong Kun and Sikong Jue among the princes, and the three were also the most loyal to Emperor Hui, the eldest brother of the emperor. Now, Sikong Kun died because Sikong Rui helped Empress Lu, and Emperor Hui became a puppet because he helped Sikong Rong, and he felt ashamed of Sikong Jue, so he couldn't help patting Sikong Rui's shoulder and comforting-
"It's useless to regret what has already happened. People have to look forward, and some things can be made up. ”
"Make up for ......" Sikong Rui asked drunkenly, "How to make up for it?" ”
