Chapter 874: Zhichen
Under the assignment of Liu Zhixing, Gongsun Sang and Wang Youxiao, as representatives of the Liaodong Fuhan General's Mansion, went out of the east of the city and went to Goguryeo, surrounded by the entourage.
As important ministers of the Fuhan General's Mansion, the two traveled very simply. Sitting in a carriage and resting through the pavilion, it is also a sharing of four dishes and one soup.
If it is placed in the state of Chu or the original Goguryeo, it will definitely be mistaken for a petty official.
After a long trek, the two finally arrived outside the capital of Goguryeo.
Today's temperature is on the high side.
It was very hot in the carriage, and Gongsun Sang put away the curtains. Then he turned his head and glanced at Wang Youxiao, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Wang." What are you thinking? ”
Wang Youxiao, who was sitting cross-legged, glanced at Gongsun Sang, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”
Gongsun Sang couldn't help but be helpless.
This Lord Wang is the eyes and ears of the general, and the whip. Responsible for supervising hundreds of officials. On weekdays, he also looks like he is not allowed to enter, except for the officials under Gong Cao, he hardly communicates with other officials.
This trip. It's also awkward to get along with him.
For example, now. He clearly felt that Wang Youxiao was brewing something, but he just didn't say it.
What can I do?
Before the two arrived in the capital, they sent a guide into the capital to report the news. When they arrived at the city gate, they were greeted by relevant officials at the city gate and took them outside the gate of Goguryeo Palace.
As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea.
Under the leadership of the guards, they walked a long way before they reached Wu Nian's location.
Imperial.
The two of them saw a gazebo standing on the edge of a small pond in the distance. Wu Nian sat in the pavilion with three people, accompanied by eunuchs, palace maids, and guards.
The two didn't know three of them, but one of them was very beautiful, which made Gongsun Sando look at it a few times. Then he looked at the eunuch curiously, but he didn't dare to look at the palace maid.
Theoretically. The women in this court are all the king's women.
He didn't dare to look at it.
As for the eunuchs.
Forgive him for being lonely and unheard, and not seeing him. But according to the storytellers, the eunuchs were all white and beardless, and their voices were sharp. Now the face did not need to be seen, and the voice was sharp and not heard.
The three people next to Wu Nian are Li Yunchong, Zhao Mancheng, and Cui Wushuang.
The nearby eunuchs and palace maids are all old people of the King of Goguryeo, and they belong to the use of them.
Wu Nian also saw the two of them, and said to Zhao Mancheng and the three of them with a smile: "These two are the masters of my house and the head of the house. I'm here to introduce you. ”
"Yes."
Zhao Mancheng and the three responded respectfully.
After the two came in, Wu Nian introduced them to each other. With so many people, the gazebo can't sit down. Wu Nian got up and led everyone to a side hall.
Nor does he sit on the throne.
Let the eunuch move the eunuch chair, sit in the north position, and the five people sit in the east and west. It seems to be a hall house of a serious family.
"Did Liu Changshi send you here for the purpose of founding the country?" Wu Nian knew it.
"Yes." Wang Youxiao arched his hand and replied.
"What does he mean?" Wu Nian asked again.
"Before explaining the matter of Liu Changshi. The minister has something to say. Wang Youxiao's face was serious, and his whole face exuded an aura of not being angry and arrogant.
Gongsun Sang lowered his head slightly, this guy really had something brewing.
Zhao Mancheng, Li Yunzhong, and Cui Wushuang looked up at Wang Youxiao, and they also noticed that this "supervising imperial history" was not easy to mess with.
This guy doesn't have much ability, but Tou Tie is good at admonishing.
Because he is strong, he worships Gongcao.
This expression is about to advise.
But Wu Nian thought about it carefully and didn't find anything wrong with him. But since Gong Cao is like this, Wu Nian is naturally very face-saving. said: "Say." ”
"I heard that. The general accepted the Empress Dowager Li of Goguryeo as a concubine? Wang Youxiao raised his head, his eyes shining, exuding an aggressive taste.
"Uh!!"
Including Wu Nian, everyone was stunned.
Li Yunpet was a little embarrassed and lowered his head slightly.
Zhao Mancheng is loyal to the Jin Dynasty, but since he has changed his court, it is difficult to intervene in this kind of thing.
"Lord Wang. IMHO. Concubinage is a family affair for the general. Without the slightest hesitation, Gongsun Sang raised his head and faced this terrible Gongcao Lord and resolutely defended Wu Nian.
Wang Youxiao glanced at Gongsun Sang and said, "The family is the world." The Wang family has no family affairs, only state affairs. ”
In a word, Gongsun Sang was speechless for a while.
But he didn't give up, thought about it for a while, and planned to quarrel with Wang Youxiao.
Wu Nian waved his hand to Gongsun Sang and motioned for you not to interfere. Then he looked up and said to Wang Youxiao: "There is such a thing." ”
"With all due respect. Empress Dowager Li won the favor of the first king of Goguryeo with her beauty, and after losing her husband, she listened to the government and monopolized power. Finally made Goguryeo fall into the country. Such people. It's Daji and Baoxi. The minister thought that the general should drive this demon woman out of the palace or into the cold palace. lest she confuse the general. ”
Wang Youxiao's face was upright, and he clenched his fists and admonished.
"Lord Wang. Madame Lee is not a witch. Li Yunpet had to stand up and clenched his fists and said.
"The heroine of the dead country. What else do you say is not a witch? Wang Youxiao said with his head held high.
Li Yunpet couldn't help it, and turned his head to look at Wu Nian. General, you have to stand your ground, and you can't drive Madame Li out of the palace or into the cold palace.
"Lord Wang. We have been a monarch for many years. You should know exactly who I am. I promise. Mrs. Li no longer has the possibility of making waves. Wu Nian said solemnly.
Things are done by oneself, and you must not eat and wipe clean and not recognize people.
He wouldn't tell what happened to Mrs. Li, but he admitted his mistake and made a promise.
Wang Youxiao frowned, very dissatisfied. But after thinking about it for a long time, I still believed in Wu Nian. This general is not an idle person, and he has his own reminder that he should not be confused by Empress Dowager Li.
But he still clenched his fists and said, "That's what the general said." If Empress Dowager Li has interfered in the government. You're welcome. ”
What an aggressive attitude.
Wu Nian nodded with a wry smile and said.
"Okay."
Wang Youxiao didn't say anything more. Others were relieved as well. Zhao Mancheng, Li Yunzhong, and Cui Wushuang looked at Wang Youxiao's eyes, full of jealousy.
It stands to reason that the authority of a founding monarch like Wu Nian is supreme.
But this Lord Wang actually pointed at the monarch's nose and admonished.
It's also really scary.
Wang Youxiao's admonition was out of public intentions, but it invisibly increased his prestige.
Mrs. Lee's affairs are put down. Wang Youxiao clasped his fists at Wu Nian again and said, "General." Since it is called the king and the founding of the country, what is the name of the country, and where is the capital set up? ”
"Civil and military officials, how to determine the grade?"
"Meritorious Father, do you want to give a knighthood?"
"Who is the queen, and who is the prince?"
