Chapter 9: Undercurrents (4)

"Elder Changle?" Guo Wei was worried that he couldn't find a suitable person to find out the situation outside, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, Feng Dao actually took the initiative to send it to the door. Immediately raised his head and shouted at the doorman, "Please, quickly invite Elder Changle, please come in." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Lin Qing, the newly appointed leader of the eunuchs, agreed, bent down and took five or six steps backwards in succession, and then turned around and left quickly.

"It turned out to be him!" Guo Wei immediately remembered this person's resume from his back. He frowned, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Although he is a military general, he likes to collect famous horses from all over the world. But after ascending the throne, he practiced frugality, did not eat heavy meat, did not pay heavy clothing, and only raised five or six mounts in the imperial horse prison, and did not need too many people to take care of them. Therefore, the steward eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison sounds like a big name, but in fact he is only equivalent to an ordinary groom, and his status is not ranked at all in the palace.

However, this Lin steward was retained only after relying on Wang Jun's intercession. The funny thing is that Wang Xiufeng himself thought that he had done it perfectly and regarded everyone else as a fool. But he forgot that he Guo Wei has the ability to never forget, and those who have read books carefully and paid attention to them will never be lost in their memories.

"Your Majesty, don't be too tired, this body is just improving, but you can't stand the toss. Seeing that Guo Wei's condition had just improved, she was about to struggle to meet the minister, but Yang Shufei endured it again and again, and finally couldn't hold it back. Leaned forward and whispered advice.

"Okay, don't worry, my body knows it. Guo Wei pretended to have a picture of a bamboo in his chest, and comforted him with a smile, "You should also go down and rest, lest Feng Dao see you and blame me for not distinguishing between inside and outside!"

"Yes, the concubine has retired!" Concubine Yang Shu sighed, got up and walked to the apse. As I walked, I couldn't help but raise my hand to wipe my tears.

"Alas!" Looking at Yang Guifei's thin back, Guo Wei couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

In fact, how could he not know that his body could not bear any toss? The Great Zhou Dynasty, which had just rested for a few days, could not withstand any violent turmoil? However, the situation was becoming increasingly muddy, how could he calm down and slowly sort out the problem. The old brother Wang Jun and the others all stretched out their hands directly into the palace, how could they give him more time to prepare?

was helplessly sighing, the elders of the many dynasties, the great Zhou Yingguo Gong, and the privy deputy envoy Feng Dao slowly entered under the guidance of the two eunuchs. Seeing that Guo Wei was faintly sweating on his forehead, he hurriedly took two steps quickly, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't have to get up." Old minister, old minister just came to see His Majesty today, and there is nothing important to start!"

"Elder Changle doesn't have to worry about me, I'm a martial artist, it's okay to be sick with this little illness!" Gently pushing Feng Dao's arm away, Guo Wei smiled and waved his hand, "Come on, give me a seat! Bring a chair to Duke Yingguo, and place it opposite me." ”

"Yes!" the two eunuchs did not dare to slack off, trotted to the desk, and brought chairs. Guo Wei smiled and made a gesture of please, and ordered Feng Dao to sit down. Then he waved his arm again and commanded in a deep voice, "Alright, there's nothing to do with you here." Go down and prepare some refreshments, and I'm going to talk to Yingguo Gong while eating. ”

"Slave and maid obey!" the two eunuchs looked at each other and hesitated to exit the door.

Guo Wei watched their figures leave, then turned his head and asked in a low voice to Feng Dao, "Gong Ying, it's rare for you to come here." Jing Chu's affairs, has it ever been over? What kind of charter did the court come up with!"

"I'm ashamed to say this!" Feng Dao arched his hand and shook his head with a wry smile, "Jing Chu is finished, and we don't have time to save each other." After discussing with Wang Shumi, the old minister could only find a way to let people secretly send Ma's heirs to Bianliang and give them an idle job to raise, which can be regarded as an explanation for Ma's kindness in borrowing grain back then. Otherwise, we can only wait for the future!"

"Oh!" Guo Wei thought for a while, sighed and nodded, "That's it, we just solved the flood, and we don't have the strength to start a war with Nantang right away." The soldiers are not familiar with water warfare, and if they rush to send troops, I am afraid that they will suffer a big loss!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Feng Dao arched his hand and praised with a smile. "However, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, that Nantang actually didn't get any cheap. * Although he captured and killed Ma's father and son, he was killed by Chu general Zhou Xingfeng outside Tanzhou City. Now, Zhou Xingfeng has erected the banner of Chu again, but he just doesn't want to serve the orphans of the Ma family anymore. ”

"It turned out to be a minister who couldn't be saved when he saw death!" Guo Wei's political experience is so old. After a little pondering, he guessed the cause and effect of Jing Chu's fall, "I'm afraid that if it wasn't for Zhou Xingfeng to stand still, the Ma family and his son wouldn't even have the strength to resist, right? ”

The old minister and the king's privy councillor also thought so. But the more lively the fight between Nantang and Jing Chu, the more beneficial it will be for our Great Zhou. So, let them continue to fight, let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!" Feng Dao smiled and nodded slightly.

"Haha, Elder Changle has a relationship with me" Guo Wei touched his beard, pretending to be very proud, and looked up to the sky and laughed. Then, as if very casually, he asked, "Ying Guogong, are there any other things that need to be discussed with me recently?"

Feng Dao arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, now that the flooding of the Yellow River has been eliminated, the whole country is celebrated, and there is no war on the border." Therefore, the old minister was rarely idle for a few days, and there was nothing to ask His Majesty to decide. I just hope that Your Majesty can get better soon, and don't make the old minister worry anymore!"

"Hmm!" Guo Wei heard the words "worrying", and he understood that Feng Dao had not completely fallen to Wang Jun. He smiled and nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, in the current situation, the old minister has a home remedy, I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to listen to it?" Seeing that Guo Wei could understand it at one point, Feng Dao's heart suddenly felt much more comfortable. Pluck up your courage and continue to add in a low voice.

"What is Elder Changle's opinion?" Guo Wei's heart became more and more clear. Follow the other party's meaning, and ask with a smile.

"Hehe, I can't talk about it. Feng Dao stroked his beard with a smile and continued to add, "Back then, when the minister went out of the town of Tongzhou, he occasionally felt a cold wind on the way, and he had to be dialed by an old man in the mountains, and within a few days, his body recovered as before. In fact, the old man's home remedies are just five words, more active and more breathable. ”

"This is the home remedy of Ying Guogong, haha, why did I think I lost my stunt. Guo Wei originally thought that Feng Dao could say something powerful, but he didn't think about it, but in the early years, his family was poor and couldn't afford medicine, and he fought against diseases, so there was nothing new at all.

"Yes, be more active and breathable. It's better to go out and look around than to be bored in the palace. Feng Dao didn't mind Guo Wei's sneer, repeated it again in a low voice, and then bowed his hand to Guo Wei again.

Guo Wei was shocked in his heart, and immediately understood that there was something in this old saying. With Feng Dao's "steadiness" that has never made enemies, it is already commendable to be able to do such a thing for himself! Therefore, he immediately smiled and responded loudly, "Okay, I'll try." Someone, open the windows of the dormitory for me. I want to breathe right now!"

"Obey!" The two eunuchs from before walked in briskly with tea and snacks, and first placed the refreshments on the low table next to Guo Wei's bed. Then he trotted and pushed open the two vermilion windows.

It was already a little cold, and the evening breeze quickly rushed into the house with a bit of chill. Guo Wei was immediately blown into a cold shiver, raised his head, and looked around. I only saw that the treetops outside the window were red and purple. And under the big trees, the guards carrying knives and guns are like clay sculptures and wood carvings, motionless. Although the number of people is not large, without their permission, I am afraid that even a fly will not want to approach his dormitory at this moment.

It turned out that the guards had also been replaced! Guo Wei's heart suddenly froze, and he immediately understood that Feng Dao had wanted to suggest that he take the initiative to leave Bianliang and take refuge in his hometown's hometown, Lanzhou, or the prince's side. Then look for an opportunity and slowly pull back the defeat.

It's just that if even the guards are replaced by Wang Jun's people, if you want to leave Bianliang, I'm afraid it won't be easy. Thinking of this verse, he deliberately raised his voice a little, and ordered with a smile, "Ying Guogong, I have an important matter, and you will arrange it for me later." ”

Sure enough, the guards closest to the window pricked up their ears in unison. The few eunuchs waiting outside the door also quietly approached forward. One by one, as if facing a great enemy.

"You go, pass on a message to Concubine Yang's brother. Guo Wei smiled, and then, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Let Yang Tan enter the palace to see his aunt, Concubine Shu hasn't seen their father and son for a long time, and she misses them very much." ”

"Yes, the minister will do it when he leaves the palace. "Feng Dao is so smart, he immediately knows what he wants to say, Guo Wei already knows everything. So he stood up happily and clasped his fists and saluted, "If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, the old minister will retire first." ”

"Okay, I'm a little tired. Yingguo Gong, please take care of yourself. Guo Wei moved his body, half lying on the head of the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.

Feng Dao didn't dare to disturb him anymore, so he saluted again and slowly withdrew from the door. After a short time, the entire dormitory fell into a dead silence.

The autumn wind blows, and the leaves fall from the treetops in the yard. The palace guards under the tree are like wood carvings, not moving at all. Everyone's face was as if it were carved out of stone, stiff and cold, and there was no life in sight.

"It turned out that the situation was so critical. Wang Xiufeng, you are also anxious!" At this time, Guo Wei didn't really fall asleep. Instead, he squinted his eyes and secretly observed the grass and trees outside.

The palace was still the same palace, but among all the guards, there was not a single one left, a familiar face to him. Feng Dao's proposal is very correct. But like many of this man's previous proposals at critical moments, they were just right, and they were so correct that there was no possibility of them being realized.

It seems that the tiger really can't take a nap. Suddenly smiled, Guo Wei's face showed a trace of coldness. I was too careless and soft-hearted this time, so that I completely lost the opportunity. However, how can you only have this power on the surface? Wang Xiufeng, Wang Xiufeng, you are so confident!

"Minister, Wang Jun knocked to see the emperor. ”

"Minister, Li Chongjin knocked on the emperor. ”

I'm wondering if it's time to show all the hidden chess pieces. Outside the dormitory, two familiar voices suddenly came.

"Xiufeng?" Guo Wei was stunned and quickly raised his head.

I saw the privy envoy Wang Jun and Taiwei, the left and right forbidden armies commanded Wang Yin, and the front of the palace commanded Li Chongjin, and the three of them entered together. Everyone's face is full of determination like a fake!
