Zizhao went out of Concubine Jiang's courtyard today, went to look for Xin again, and found that she hadn't returned overnight, and the anger in her heart came out at once: "Shugen, go find Mrs. Xin immediately, and ask her to go back to the palace quickly, otherwise, she will wait to collect the corpses for the people in her palace!" ″

Zizhao went to the court after sending this cruel sentence, Jiang Concubine's voice of "Congratulations to the king" shouted the words cheerful outside, the king went to her room last night to sit in the original for Mrs. Qixin, but she got drunk after waiting, she just kept watch in front of the bed all night, looked at him quietly, and was already very satisfied in her heart, I don't know if it was a mental effect, today the weather outside is brighter than before, sweeping away the previous gloomy atmosphere, she suddenly wanted to go to the garden for a walk......

Recently, the court, and then discussed several times, and sent to Xiqi to issue the royal order of the king of Xichang to surrender, and today it was discussed again, and finally finalized the candidate, and the Thomas official Ji Liang in the sub-clan led five hundred people of the sub-clan to change the defense, in case of emergency, and then brought five hundred garrisons to accompany him, if there is a countermeasure, there is also a resistance.

But I never thought that before Wang Ling came out of the Long Live Palace, there was a circulatory official report, and Xichang was in a hurry!

As soon as the words fell, a herald with a small flag on his back had entered the Long Live Palace, knelt down on one foot and said: "Report, Concubine Zhou's handwritten letter, order the young general to quickly whip and present it to the king."

Under the curiosity of the ministers, Huang Nei took the bamboo tube that the herald held above his head, put on the fire paint, and after opening it, there was a silk book inside, Zi Zhao looked at it, handed it to Huang Nei, and ordered: "Read!"

Huang Neishou unfolded the silk book and read:

"Respectfully invite the virtuous concubine King Shenglan, I haven't seen you for three years, is the king healthy? The mourning family is very worried!

The mourning family and the king of Xichang are all good, please don't worry about the king!

Today, the king of the book, just because he was threatened by the life of the king of Xichang by Otsuka a few days ago, he did not dare to do it, so he harmed the people, and the mourning family felt ashamed!

Now, the king's thunder court means have been for the mourning family in addition to the traitorous villain, the mourning family and the king look at the shengdu, bow together, grateful!

In order to express his gratitude and the previous crime of concealment, the king of Xichang asked himself to be demoted, unloaded 1,500 soldiers, and returned 1,500 handfuls, 1,500 pairs of armor, 1,500 taels of grain, 10 boxes of jewelry, 1,000 households of the people and their farmland, 300 slaves, and asked the king to send envoys to hand over!

……

The ministers listened, took a deep breath and expressed their opinions, it was noisy, and finally Fu said: "King Qi, even if Concubine Zhou takes the initiative to go to the country to show goodwill, it will also save a lot of trouble, the original five hundred people of the sub-clan are still going, and the five hundred people of the garrison do not have to go, according to the ministers, it is better to remove the title of King of Xichang and change the title of King Xian!" ″

Zizhao also felt that it was okay when he heard it, so he asked the ministers: "What do you think?" ″

The ministers exchanged secret words before they unanimously said: "The ministers seconded the proposal..."

……

I dealt with some daily reports, it was almost three minutes before I went down, all the ministers left, Fu said out of the gate of the Long Live Palace, and I heard the roots of the tree shouting behind him: "Prime Minister, please stay, the king is invited!" ″

Before Fu said to raise his feet, Zizhao had already come out, made a gesture of please, and said to Fu Shuo as they walked: "Go to the garden, the prime minister has not yet walked through the garden of the palace of Lone, not only to rebuild, but also to see, which looks need to be retained, and which ones need to be removed."

Fu said also looked at it casually, there was really nothing to see in front, except for the palace wall is the palace wall, walking in a row with Zizhao, bypassing the Longxing Palace, I saw the pavilions, rockeries and ponds, and the yellow grass all over the ground, and there was a stone table around a few stone benches more than a dozen steps away!

The sparse poinsettia on the grass is very conspicuous, and further on, there are occasionally a few Haitang, Lamei, Fu said with a smile: "I didn't think there was such a good place in this palace"

"The prime minister also thinks it's good? Zi Zhao didn't expect this garden to be in the eyes of the prime minister, since he met Fu Shuo, after listening to him, Zi Zhao often felt that he was from the countryside!

"There are not many eye-catching places in your palace, and this place is barely one! Fu said casually, because of Xin, he couldn't flatter his rival.

"Hey, the prime minister speaks, and he never saves face for loneliness" Zizhao also obeyed Fu Shuo's way of speaking, compared with Xin'er, it is probably the relationship between the same place!

"The minister wants to ask the king, do you want face or the country? ″

Fu said that he shook his sleeves while asking, and now he is wearing a court dress, and the wide sleeves are thrown around, and it is a little fun!

"Didn't the prime minister ask knowingly? Your brothers and sisters are really the same, Xin'er asked Gu if he wanted face or his wife, and the prime minister asked Gu if he wanted face or Jiangshan, and Gu wanted to say, I want to face, Mrs. also wants to be in the country, and I want Jiangshan too, is there any conflict in this? "Zizhao can't figure it out, what does it have to do with wanting face and asking for the country!

Fu Shuo glanced at Zi Zhao, but Zi Zhao didn't look at him, but just walked a little depressedly, keeping a pace with Fu Shuo, followed by Huang Neizhi and Shu Gen!

Fu said that he inadvertently glanced at the Huang waiter, only to see him looking away for some reason! Fu said that there was a mustard heart in his heart!

Zizhao didn't hear Fu speak back for a long time, and asked, "Why is the prime minister silent?" Isn't it right to ask Lonely? "

Fu Shuo put away other thoughts before saying: "The minister doesn't speak well, and I think the king asked well, and I can't change this problem of not speaking well, and then I think about it, in order to keep this head, should I resign and return to my hometown?"

When Zizhao heard this, he was anxious, and said with a choked breath: "Does the prime minister have to say it so seriously?" Threatening loneliness with running away at every turn, that's what women do! ″

"The garden is almost gone, Chen wants to go back first" Fu said that he didn't want to answer Zizhao's question head-on!

"It's okay, let's swim here today, and further on, it's the territory of the harem concubines" Zizhao doesn't want to make the monarch and the minister discord over some trivial things!

"The minister retired," Fu said raised his hand and made a palace salute!

"Lone still wants to ask the prime minister, did you see Mrs. Xin last night?" After going around for a long time, Zizhao still asked!

"Is it false that the king invited his ministers to visit the garden, and it is true to inquire about the whereabouts of the lady, right? Fu said that he would not answer the rhetorical question!

Zizhao looked at Fu Shuo's expression, no need to ask, he guessed that they had met last night, and said a little unwillingly: "I believe Xin'er, it's useless for you to covet it!"

"Hahaha, wait and see!" Fu said that he remembered that he pecked Xin's face lightly last night, as if he had already gotten her, and he was very happy!

"Prime minister, don't forget, you are already a courtier of a great merchant, and it is a big crime to tempt the harem concubines! Zizhao could only use the royal power to save some face, and in the face of Fu who was smiling so happily, he really couldn't imagine what they did last night!
