Chapter 48: The beauty plan is beginning to bear fruit
At the moment when Deng Ai's body fell, Sima Banru's wine woke up for most of the time, and he suddenly felt that he might have been deceived by Duan'er.
However, it was already too late.
Sima Banru's face was pale, and he stood next to Deng Ai's corpse, constantly rolling his eyes.
The two warriors brought by Deng Ai were able to rush in at this time and leaned over Deng Ai's side.
One of them suddenly roared, and his sword came towards Duan'er.
Wei Qing'er stood in front of Duan'er.
Duan'er lost no time in hiding behind Sima Banru, and said in a low voice, "Hou Ye should know the concubine's heart, Deng Ai is a high-ranking and powerful man, and he has made such a great contribution this time, it is inevitable that he will be proud of his merits and despise Hou Ye, if he is not eliminated early, there will be chaos in the future." Hou Ye went out with the army, but he wanted to give this credit to Deng Ai, and the king of Jin asked in the future, why did Hou Ye answer? How should Cao Wei's soldiers and civilians talk about Hou Ye? Could it be that the Hou Ye is really just a person who is close to women and has no ink on his chest? ”
Duan'er had already expected that as soon as Deng Ai died, Sima Banru would inevitably wake up, and he had already thought about his words in advance, and these words really shocked Sima Banru.
"Is the concubine really thinking about Benhou?"
Duan'er wiped her tears and nodded pitifully.
"Stop!" Only then did Sima Banru stop the warrior who had forced Wei Qing'er into a corner, "Deng Ai, I love my concubine in this play, and it is common sense for this marquis to behead him, this matter has his own marquis to return to his father, you can't wait for a mistake." ”
The warrior knelt at Sima Banru's feet.
"General Deng is a hero of Cao Wei, Hou Ye is so easy to kill, I am afraid that it will hurt the hearts of the generals, and I also ask Hou Ye to quickly kill this demon girl to comfort everyone."
Wei Qing'er spat at the samurai's face.
Sima Banru hesitated for a moment.
"You two go back, this matter has its own judgment."
The warrior was taken out by Sima Banru's Chinese army, and not long after, even Deng Ai's body was carried out of the tent.
"Although what the concubine said is reasonable, but if she kills the general privately, this marquis is afraid that she will not be able to explain in front of her father, and Deng Ai is deeply popular with the army, if the soldiers outside the city learn about this, once there is a change, will we not die and have no place to be buried?"
Duan'er sneered.
"Hou Ye is the son of the King of Jin, Deng Ai is just a martial artist, if Hou Ye can't even do this kind of thing, how can he expect to take over the position of King Jin in the future?" Duan'er said, "Hou Ye can quickly pass the order, and say that Deng Ai has the heart to establish himself as a king in Shu, and Hou Ye is acting in accordance with the secret decree of King Chitose of Jin." ”
"What should be done with those who disobey or rebel because of this?" Sima Banru didn't expect Duan'er to be so smart, so he asked.
A grim smile appeared on the corner of Duan'er's mouth.
"This matter is not difficult, Master Hou can rush to unite with my royal brother when this matter is not known, use all the soldiers and horses in the city, and kill all Deng Ai's cronies, then the big thing will be done."
Sima Banru clapped his hands vigorously.
"What the concubine said is reasonable, Ben Hou will go to the palace to find your brother to discuss this matter."
Seeing Sima Banru go out, Duan'er immediately called Wei Qing'er and whispered a few words.
Wei Qing'er turned around and went out.
In fact, at the same time that Deng Ai was killed, the eunuch-looking person had already sneaked back to the palace to deliver a letter to Liu Yong.
At this time, Liu Heng, who replaced the original samurai, had just arrived, and before he could settle the soldiers brought by the station, the eunuch took this opportunity to sneak into the palace.
It was almost noon, and Sima Banru came to the gate of Jing'an Palace.
Liu Yong and Empress Zhang sat side by side on chairs in the hall, acting as if they didn't know anything about things outside the palace.
"Master Hou is here, but what can I teach me?" Liu Yong put on a cold look and said.
"Your Majesty, Master Hou is already a concubine and my own family, how can you be so slow?" Empress Zhang pretended to be displeased, glanced at Liu Yong, and then ordered, "Xiyue, why don't you wait for everyone to come over to congratulate the concubine?" ”
As Empress Zhang's voice landed, more than a dozen palace maids ran over together under the leadership of Xi Yue, and without waiting for Sima Banru to react, they had already knelt in front of them.
"Slave and maid, congratulations to the master of the horse."
"May the master and Her Royal Highness the princess be together for a hundred years."
In the midst of everyone's voices, the voice of the moon was particularly loud, and then added: "The princess is my Shuzhong guest, although the Shu Han is dead, but the princess is still there, the princess should not treat the princess lightly in the future, let alone bully my original palace servants, in order to show the benevolence of Her Royal Highness the princess and the princess." ”
Sima Banru didn't expect this hand, and there was a forced smile on his face.
"Everyone get up, and after I see the royal brother and sister-in-law, I will reward them separately."
The crowd laughed and got up.
A palace maid had already moved a chair, but Sima Banru didn't sit down.
"Stand down." Empress Zhang seemed to see that Sima Banru had something to say, so she said to Xiyue and the others.
"Don't forget the rewards for slaves and maids." Xi Yue still refused to give up, and made a grimace at Sima Banru as she spoke.
"Definitely, definitely." Sima Banru said again and again.
The crowd withdrew.
Not long after, Liu Yong's footsteps came from the hall, and he kept walking in the room with his hands behind his back, as if he was very embarrassed.
"After the destruction of the city, seven or eight out of ten people escaped, and the rest were scattered to various battalions by Deng Ai, if Hou Ye wants to control Deng Ai's department, he needs to release General Zhang Shao and Lord Chen Yi immediately, so that we can collect our army and join forces with Hou Ye's personal soldiers, and the big thing can be successful."
"It's not that hard." Sima Banru was overjoyed and said, "Ben Hou will send someone to let these two out." ”
Liu Yong's face was expressionless, he knew that this matter was just half successful, and it would take a lot of difficulties to completely expel the enemy army and recover the lost territory.
"Hou Ye can go and do it immediately, and I will come to the front of the battle when I arrive to ensure Hou Ye's safety."
"That's the best, Ben Hou will go." Sima Banru had completely believed in Liu Yong.
Sima Banru had just left, and Wei Qing'er walked out from behind.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid has to go back earlier, Sister Duan'er is anxious to wait for a reply in order to deal with the next step."
Empress Zhang took Wei Qing'er's hand and shook it vigorously a few times.
"You are in the tiger's den, you must be more careful."
Although Liu Yong did not speak, his expression was cold, and people felt that his concern was not under Empress Zhang.
"The queen mother and Your Majesty can rest assured, the slave maid and Sister Duan'er know what to do." Wei Qing'er said.
In the evening, the little eunuch Qiao Xi ran in from outside.
"Your Majesty, General Zhang Shao and Master Chen Yi are back, but they were blocked out of the door by Liu Heng's servant, and the servants didn't dare to step forward, please show your majesty."
Liu Yong's brows furrowed.
Deng Ai actually arranged for Liu Heng to guard the palace gate?
Empress Zhang pondered for a while, whispered something in Liu Yong's ear, and Liu Yong's face was happy.
"Qiao Xi, lead the way quickly, I want to visit the Queen Mother's palace."
Qiao Xi was a little puzzled, Zhang Shao and Chen Yi were blocked from the door and were not allowed to enter, but His Majesty still had the heart to go to the Empress Dowager's palace? Does the Queen Mother have to come forward to negotiate with that Liu Heng?
However, Qiao Xi heard that after the Queen Mother was escorted back to the palace by Deng Ai, her mood has been bad, and she seems to be sick, and the emperor wants to visit, but it is also reasonable. It's just that Ling'er is very fierce, and she needs to be careful not to come and grab her ears again.
