Soon after the new emperor Duanmu Shuofeng ascended the throne, he had not yet officially married, adding a weighty mother to David, so he hurriedly left with the great Situ Wu Heng and attacked the Liang country, and all the other princes who were defeated in the battle for succession, whether they were willing or unwilling, were imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion.

is still staying in this luxurious palace where more than ten generations have lived, in addition to the current Emperor Taishang, that is, Duanmu Lei's father Duanmu Lei, who was directly kicked off the throne by Duanmu Shuofeng before, that is, Duanmu Lei's former concubines and some palace maids and eunuchs who take care of their daily lives, and these people are basically only active in the harem, more precisely, they are only active in the newly built Huangtianjiao Temple in the harem, and the former palace where the Jinluan Hall used by the court meeting is located, no one has been to it for a long, long time.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor is not there, and the Emperor Taishang is not a director, even if these officials have something to do on weekdays, it is impossible to go to the Jinluan Palace, where the master is not there, so the location of this meeting was set on the mansion of Xie Shi, the Qilin son of the Xie family, who temporarily replaced Wu Heng's great Situ.

The main seat in the center was vacated alone, because it was reserved for Duanmu Shuofeng, even if he was not there, but it was not for the courtiers to sit, as for the first place on the left, it was also specially vacated, it was for the great Situ Wu Heng, as for the master Xie Shi here, he stood on the edge of the chair in the second place on the left hand, and had not yet sat down, in order to show respect for this master, the others had to start sitting from the third place on the left or the third place on the right hand, and did not dare to cross in the slightest.

After a group of people came in from the outside, even if it was a matter of burning their eyebrows, they did not see the slightest panic or eagerness on their faces, but they all looked as usual, and they looked better than usual.

As the owner of the mansion here, and the emperor His Majesty appointed to stay in the rear, Xie Shi, who temporarily took the position of the great situ to sit in the capital, also returned the salute to them one by one unhurriedly, and then politely beckoned everyone to sit down.

Those who are here today, or those who are qualified to have a seat here, are the real powerful officials in the David's court, and there are only a dozen people in the entire Wei Kingdom, so the hall that the Xie family usually uses to entertain guests even seems quite spacious after they sit down.

Xie Shi put his hands on his knees, first looked left and right, and after seeing that these people were like sculptures sitting on the altar without smiling, he smiled slightly, and then said lightly: "I invite you here today, just to discuss countermeasures with your adults." ”

All of you here, all of them are old people who have been in the officialdom for decades, and their psychological quality is so strong that they can be said to be people who can do not change their faces when Mount Tai collapses in front of them, and no one takes the initiative to answer at this time, and they are silently waiting for the following.

Seeing this, Xie Shi straightened up slightly, stretched out his hand, and invited: "I also read the list, what do you think, just say what you want." ”

The people present were not surprised at all that he knew about this matter, not to mention that the Xie family behind him was a big family in the entire southern land, and it was scattered everywhere, but it was not only the house of Weiguo, but the other party temporarily took the position of the head of the local officials, as soon as His Majesty the Emperor left, he is now the most powerful person here, and all the yamen are under his jurisdiction, if he doesn't even know this thing, then he is not worthy of being the great Situ of this temporary generation.

But Rao said everything he said, but still no one took the conversation, after all, like those who have hostages in Gu Xuan's hands, if they want to avoid suspicion, they naturally can't open their mouths at this time, and those who are very few, no hostages are in Gu Xuan's hands, not to mention confiscating benefits, at this time, no matter how different the political opinions are on weekdays, it is always difficult to open your mouth to offend others, so the whole scene suddenly fell into a short silence.

Xie Shi is like a mirror in his heart, what does this group of people mean, he still doesn't know, if he really doesn't want to save it, then he won't come out immediately to express his determination, the current silence is more like a silent answer, or indirect pressure, thinking of this, he said: "If you don't say it, then it's up to me to say, according to my will, send someone over first, at least to probe the other party's tone, isn't it?" No matter what the conditions are, then we can talk about it again, after all, those people outside are my David's people, and they are also suffering from this for the safety of my David, and they dare to stand up, how can the country give up on them like this?

Everyone here looked at Xie Shi, and hurriedly bowed their hands to him one by one and exclaimed, "Situ Gaoyi!"

At this time, there is no need to shirk anymore, and there is no need to tout too much, everything is too much, in short, this is not what we said, but what you Situ himself said, this decision is not ours, but your Situ himself, we do not object, but if something really goes wrong, and then it will be investigated, then you will bear this responsibility, of course, no matter whether the person is saved in the end or not, these families still have to accept his thanks.

------------------

In the middle of the night, the crescent moon was like a hook, and there was a very cool breeze blowing outside for the drunks to wake up, and a group of people passed through the curfew of the major markets, holding a row of torches to take advantage of the night.

However, they did not dare to open the city gate directly, and then put down the drawbridge and ran outside, for fear that the enemy outside would take advantage of this opportunity to attack in, which shows what the Weiguo side was afraid of, and these people had to follow the drainage channel in the city, and then rowed three boats all the way to the moat, and finally took the rope and went up very hard.

On the other hand, on Gu Xuan's side, the big camp that they took a whole afternoon to set up, not far from the capital of Weiguo, can be described as unscrupulous and arrogant, because he knows that no one in Weiguo has that ability for the time being, and he doesn't have the courage to run over and tease him, a tiger from Liangguo.

The people who ran out of the Weiguo Capital with great difficulty, and they were afraid of causing a misunderstanding here, so they had to walk slowly and leisurely, until they reached the periphery of the camp, they found that someone was waiting at the door, this person was Lan Yunxuan, after all, the other people who could be driven, they were all Rakshasas, and there were not many people who knew the human language, so they could not communicate freely with these outsiders, so they could only let him run to lead the way.

Lan Yunxuan looked at the group of people in front of him slightly, showed a kind smile, and didn't bother to ask where the call came from, so he turned directly to the side and invited, "Please come with me." ”

Where did the people on the Weiguo side dare to go in so much, first hurriedly said "Tired Lord", and then lined up in an orderly manner to follow Lan Yunxuan inside, and on the way, they didn't dare to look at the Rakshasa clan who looked terrible at night, all of them lowered their heads, they didn't know, and they thought they were a group of prisoners who had been arrested.

All the way to the outside of the big tent of the Chinese army, Lan Yunxuan didn't go in, but first stood with his hands down, and then shouted respectfully: "Lord Wang, the people have been brought!"

After a while, a majestic voice came from inside.

"Bring them in!"

After Lan Yunxuan agreed, he turned around and smiled at everyone, "Please." ”

As soon as the curtain was lifted, only one person entered, while the others were left outside for the time being.

As soon as the visitor saw Gu Xuan, he didn't wait to see the other party's appearance clearly, so he hurriedly bowed down to him and said, "Zhang Wei, who is often in the Lower David Palace, and meets the king of Daliang Hedong County!"

What is a permanent servant, in fact, it is the eunuch in the palace, just because it is the emperor's personal attendant, so the actual status is very high, and there is no way to do it, after all, most of the officials in the court are in this matter, it is impossible for them to come to negotiate, after all, this is to avoid suspicion, think about it, so you can only send this one, don't look at the other party is just a eunuch, but there is a way to be the prime minister's doorman seven officials, not to mention the emperor's internal servant, so let this person negotiate on behalf of the person, it is not an insult, let alone informal.

Gu Xuan sat on a large chair covered with a thick layer of fur, his posture looked very lazy, the corners of his mouth were grinning, and he teased with some playfulness: "Why did you send someone who didn't plant?"

Hearing this, Zhang Wei raised his head slightly, and quietly looked at Gu Xuan who was sitting on the main seat, and was slightly shocked in his heart, the first impression that the other party gave him, that is, he was extremely powerful, and at a glance, he knew that he was a nobleman, not an ordinary person, and the second impression was that he was young, after all, the maturity of the feeling was exuded from the inside out, but Gu Xuan's skin was difficult to deceive, it should not be more than the age of double ten, and the third was a pity, this person was originally extremely handsome, but he was wearing an eye patch, thinking about what kind of eye disease, he couldn't see anyone, a few thoughts flashed in his heart, saying a lot, in fact, it was a matter of an instant, and he had seen the world in the end, it was a neighbor next to the former Emperor Wei Duanmu Lei, who quickly calmed down, and immediately replied without humility or arrogance: "The prince is as powerful as a prison, and I think that people who really have no seed will not dare to come today." ”

Just this sentence, he praised Gu Xuan in the front, and then scolded the lords in the DPRK and China who pushed himself out to fight the thunder this time, and finally raised himself again, saying that he was not a person without courage, and he did not lose the face of defending the country, even Gu Xuan couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh when he heard it.

"That's right, that's right, this king shouldn't be prejudiced because of your identity, this is the king's, it's just that I don't know, can you really represent them today?"

Although the eunuchs often have access to the emperor or those harem concubines who can blow the pillow wind, their status outside is very high, but in fact, their glory and power are rootless water, once they fall out of favor, they will disappear all of a sudden, don't look at those officials who are polite to them when they meet, but in fact, they themselves are collectively rejected by the bureaucrats, and the two are naturally opposites, because the people in the court look down on these people in their hearts, so even if he comes today, it does not mean that he can represent those people。

Zhang Wei nodded slightly, did not deny this, but said unhurriedly: "Come here today, just to relay their thoughts, and to relay your thoughts to them for the prince." ”

Gu Xuan patted the armrest lightly, and said in a deep voice: "The king doesn't say much, their thoughts, this king is not interested in listening, you don't have to say it, as for the king's thoughts, it's simple, you quickly discuss it, open the door to welcome guests, let this king enter the city, these second ancestors can naturally go home alive, and they will never lack arms and legs, this deal, you are willing to do it, you come again." ”

Zhang Wei didn't drag the mud and water, as soon as he heard it, he immediately stood up, stretched to the ground, and then said: "In this way, then I will go back to pass the word for the prince." ”

Gu Xuan didn't want to be embarrassed by this kind of person, so he immediately waved his hand and said very generously: "You can also go and confirm the safety of these second ancestors first, this is the sincerity of this king." ”
