Zhao Hongyu looked at Yan Guang who walked into the camp with his hair in a messy bun, and asked: "Didn't you go to help the people on the grassland solve their problems? Why did you come back so fast?"
Yan Guang's eyes were still a little distracted, but he finally regained his composure: "The general must have neglected his duties. The only blame is that the people on the grassland are too enthusiastic. They also said that they would marry me the thousand pounds in the family..."
Zhao Hongyu said with great interest: "Then why did you come back?"
Yan Guang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with trembling lips, "Because that is really a thousand pounds! I still want to serve the Chu State for a few more years despite my humble position..."
Zhao Hongyu smiled and said: "It's not convenient for me to patrol today. You still don't believe it."
Yan Guang said with sincerity: "The general has a clever plan, and I trust you in my humble duty!"
At first, he was quite happy when the old woman warmly invited him to her home for dinner. This is how the military and civilians feel like a family!
Na Chengxiang asked her what the difficulties were at home, and the woman only said that she still had a daughter at home who was not yet married, and she was willing to find a husband for her daughter.
At first he thought he had picked up something big and missed it!
What a sense of accomplishment it is to conquer a little wild horse on the grassland!
Later, when the old woman asked his daughter to come out for a toast, he realized that there was a reason why her daughter had not married for so long...
Even the rough guys on the grassland can't deal with Qian Jin, so he'd better stay away from him.
He ran out rolling and crawling!
I originally went to pick it up, but unexpectedly, I almost got picked up by it.
It's really terrible!
Chu State
In the capital
Prince Feng knocked on the door of Prince Qi's Mansion with a gift.
Now that Chu State has declared war on the grassland, Chu State has also entered a state of war, and the court meeting has been changed from once every five days to once every day.
But King Qi, who never misses any court meeting and tries his best to show himself in front of his father, has not gone to court for several days. This is very abnormal!
Who is the King of Qi? His goal is to become the crown prince of Chu State, and his fundamental purpose is to inherit the unification of Chu State.
What now? I have no faith in hiding in my own house!
The former King Feng did not take King Qi seriously at all.
Because Prince Qi's mind has been like this all his life, he can easily obtain the intelligence of Prince Qi's residence and the movements of Prince Qi by virtue of his spy in Prince Qi's residence.
It was even possible to find out whether he was sleeping with the princess or sleeping with the guests.
But now it doesn't work anymore, all the secret agents he cultivated were kicked out of the palace by King Qi.
Without his spy in Prince Qi's palace, he would not be able to obtain information about Prince Qi, and he would not be able to figure out what medicine Prince Qi is currently selling in his gourd.
I had no choice but to take a look at the gift myself.
Although King Feng did not want him, King Qi, to become the crown prince at all, it was not the time for him to withdraw.
After he retires, who will compete with him for the position of the East Palace?
If no one competes with me for the position of the East Palace, won't the crown prince fall to me?
This is terrible!
Even the door of the palace is closed tightly and no one is seen. What conspiracy is King Qi brewing?
While Prince Feng was still deducing Prince Qi's secret plan, the door to Prince Qi's mansion finally opened. He didn't even expect that Prince Qi, a man who always thought highly of himself, would take the initiative to greet him.
When King Qi saw King Feng, he smiled and said: "It turns out that he is the younger brother of King Feng. I haven't seen you for a long time. I really miss you. Hey, you came as soon as you said you would. What else did you and my brother bring? We are out of town."
, see you outside!"
While saying this, King Qi snatched the gift box from Prince Feng, held it in his hand, and led Prince Feng towards the lobby.
King Qi really didn't expect it. He, the younger brother of the emperor, grabbed it so hard that he almost couldn't grab it.
Today's Prince Qi's Mansion is impoverished, so it would be better to have more things.
However, this scene really made the King of Qi sigh. Now the decline of the Prince of Qi's palace was obvious. None of his former followers and old friends came to see him, and even none of the ministers he had managed to win over came to visit him.
It was really unexpected that the first person to visit would be Prince Feng, who could be called a political enemy.
It really has to make people sigh.
King Feng looked at King Qi and said, "I haven't seen my brother come to court these days. Could it be that he is ill?"
King Qi shook his head and said: "If you eat well and sleep soundly every day, how can you get sick?"
Prince Feng asked doubtfully, "Why doesn't my brother come to the morning court these days?"
King Qi said, "I've been busy at home these days, so naturally I've delayed going to court."
Prince Feng said: "Brother, I am late this time and cannot go to the morning court, but I will not be allowed to go to court for ten days."
King Qi waved his hand and said: "That doesn't matter, I just haven't finished my work yet."
Prince Feng refused to give up and said: "Brother Emperor! The forces in the court have changed, and all parties are fighting openly and secretly. There are really too many variables in a ten-day period."
Yes, the morning report was a test of confrontation between the various forces, as well as the emperor's attitude and stance, as well as the message conveyed.
Even if you don't go to court, you can ask someone in the court to record these words and show them to him when you come back.
But it is difficult to record the words, the tone of voice, the expressions, and even the eyes.
In this level of game, demeanor and actions are even more important than the words spoken.
Although King Qi is not very smart, he should understand these principles.
King Qi said: "I told you I'm busy. I'm busy with things. How can I have the time to go to court in the morning?"
Prince Feng asked in confusion: "What is your brother busy with?"
King Qi said: "Since that day when I recklessly accepted the hostage candidate, I relaxed for a few days and squandered my family's wealth. Now there is almost no money left in the palace. If there is nothing left, naturally I can't afford so much.
All the servants had to be fired."
Prince Feng looked even more suspicious when he heard this. Does this have anything to do with the question he asked?
It’s not like he’s busy making money, right?
Even if you want to make money, how can you make money if you don’t leave the front door or take a second step?
For the first time, Prince Feng couldn't understand the words of his brother, whom he had always pinched.
King Qi continued: "After dismissing these servants, this mansion has lost a lot of vitality. Do you think it would be too desolate if there were only a few people living in the huge Prince Qi's mansion? So brother, I have been here for the past few days.
Ah, I was just with the princess, thinking about how to make this mansion lively again."
What kind of words is this?
Does making the palace lively again have something to do with the position of the prince?
However, generally people in high positions like to talk about themselves. If it is inconvenient to speak directly, they often use objects to describe people, the past to satirize the present, and the scenery around them to express metaphors are also basic operations.
But...but why couldn't he figure out the meaning of King Qi's words?
Why not go to court?
Busy at home...
Why busy?
The house is desolate...
Is it possible to liven things up at home by being busy with your relationship, or what?
And with King Qi’s mind, does he seem to be the kind of person who can use the past to make fun of the present, and use things to describe people?
But no matter what he is busy with at home, he can’t do it without going to court!
Thinking of this, Prince Feng asked, "If Brother Huang is really too busy these two days, I can help. We can find something to finish the work together, so Brother Huang can return to the court as soon as possible."
