News, Hengshan King Liu Ci has been waiting for news. Although he is not as good as his brother Huainan King, he still has considerable say in Hengshan Kingdom. Sitting in his study, looking at the smoothed bamboo slip in his hand, Liu Ci bit his lip
He didn't say anything for a long time. The servants who were waiting on the side were worried. Whenever this happened, it meant that something bad would happen, and someone would be in trouble soon. This was Liu Ci's unique expression.
"Go and call Wei Qing to me!"
"No!" the servant agreed, quickly put down the things in his hands, and ran away as if running away.
Wei Qing came very quickly and hurriedly entered Liu Ci's study. Before Wei Qing could salute, Liu Ci immediately threw the bamboo slips in his hand to Wei Qing: "Let's take a look at this first. I didn't expect it. I really didn't expect it.
They actually took action in advance. If they had known this, they really shouldn't have sent troops! It's better now, since they have made it clear that they want to protect those people, Brother Wang will definitely blame them!"
Wei Qing read the words on the bamboo slip. There were only a few words, so he read them quickly. He gently placed the bamboo slip on Liu Ci's desk and said, "This is a good thing!"
Liu Ci made a sad face: "Why can't I see the good point in this matter?"
Wei Qing said: "The imperial court sent people from afar, and we should welcome them. This is etiquette. Since Su Ren has solved this matter by himself, King Huainan can't blame us. To say the least, even if King Huainan really wants to
If you want to make false accusations to the court about this matter, we will also send people to greet you. Since this matter did not happen within the borders of our Hengshan Kingdom, I wonder what your Majesty is worried about?"
"I'm worried that these people will come back a second time! Next time they will really be in our Hengshan territory!"
Wei Qing smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty, you are overly worried. Nine hundred people failed to attack two hundred people, and more than a hundred people were captured. This incident has shocked the world. King Huainan will not be stupid enough to do it again."
"really?"
Wei Qing bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I am willing to protect you with my life!"
Liu Ci let out a sigh of relief: "Hey! This time it's a fluke. I sent someone to inform Zhang Guangchang and asked him to send these people out of the country as soon as possible. I don't want to be so worried all day long."
"The king is wrong. Not only can these people not be sent away as soon as possible, but they should also be invited to stay in the palace temporarily to show the king's loyalty to the court."
Liu Ci asked doubtfully: "Is this necessary?"
"Yes! Your Majesty, the people who came here should know that they are all favored by His Majesty. Needless to say, Su Ren was rumored to have poisoned King Dai, so he went to Kuaiji to take refuge. Li Danghu was the son of Weiwei Li Guang, and he once served as your Majesty's
The injured one, Wei Qing, is the younger brother of His Majesty's favorite concubine, and the most unlucky Gongsun He is also the son of Pingquhou Gongsun Hunxie. Each of them is young and promising, and will surely become His Majesty's support in the future. Your Majesty should make friends with these people."
Wei Qing raised his head and glanced at Liu Ci, then said: "There is only one thing that the king did wrong."
"What's the matter?"
Wei Qing said: "I heard that Zhang Guangchang gave a man named Ying Guangji the first seat at the reception banquet hosted by Su Ren and others. I wonder if your Majesty knows about this?"
Liu Ci nodded: "This Ying Guangji knows from the name that it is related to the pre-Qin Dynasty, so I think..."
"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely inappropriate. Let's not talk about how helpful Ying Guangji will be to us. At present, our most important thing is to win the trust of the court and your Majesty. Even if your Majesty wants to contact this person, he can do it privately. How can he be regarded as such?
In front of those people, I heard that Li Danghu, like his father Li Guang, is loyal to His Majesty. I am afraid that this person has a bad feeling towards the King! If he returns to Chang'an..."
"What should we do?" Liu Ci took a breath after hearing Wei Qing's analysis.
Wei Qing sighed: "It's useless to regret what happened. From now on, neither the king nor the people of Hengshan Kingdom should have contact with Ying Guangji again. There is no need to show disgust and pretend that they don't know his identity."
.”
"Will this work?"
"Try it!"
Liu Ci and Wei Qing conspired in the study all night, and ordered that no one was allowed to approach within three feet of the study. The two discussed many things that night, from the specifications for welcoming Su Ren to the expression on Su Ren's face.
He made detailed plans for his tone, and even for arranging Su Ren's residence. For the sake of his throne and the fiefdom of Hengshan Kingdom, Liu Ci no longer regarded himself as a king.
Su Ren also stayed up all night. The banquet ended late, so he came back late. After sleeping all day, he was particularly energetic at night. Regarding Zhang Guangchang's arrangement for Ying Guangji to take the lead, not only Li Danghu had objections, but almost the entire team
Everyone had opinions. Li Danghu was persuaded by Su Ren, Wei Qing rarely spoke, and only Gongsun He was the one who made a fuss.
This guy has been a master since childhood. Brothers like Su Ren, Li Danghu, and Wei Qing sit on his head. He can bear it. What does it mean to win against Guangji? Not reporting these remnants of the pre-Qin Dynasty is already giving him face, isn't it?
Can you let him ride on your head?
"Is this old Zhang Guangchang confused? Ying Guangji is nothing but a fool, and he actually sits in the first place. I will tell Your Majesty when I get back that this old guy Liu Ci has some objections."
"No!" Wei Qing said coldly.
Gongsun He quickly said: "Why? How can someone who treats even the remnants of the pre-Qin Dynasty as a distinguished guest not have any objections?"
"We brought Ying Guangji. If we report this matter, His Majesty will definitely think that we did it intentionally. Otherwise, why didn't you report the remnants of the Pre-Qin Dynasty immediately? If we investigate like this, not only Brother Su will be in trouble."
, you and I can’t escape the relationship?”
"Hey!" Gongsun He slapped his palm on the pillar: "What did I say? Leaving this boy behind will be a disaster after all. Now it has come true, right? What do you think we should do? Can you tolerate this tone?"
Su Ren smiled: "What can we do if we can bear it? What can we do if we can't bear it? Don't forget, we are surrounded by soldiers of the Hengshan Kingdom!"
"If this was placed in Chang'an, I would have killed him long ago!" Gongsun He became angrier as he thought about it.
Huang Shisan opened the curtain and came in, looked around, and said to Su Ren: "Sir, the Crown Prince of Hengshan Kingdom wants to see you?"
"Who?" Gongsun He asked again.
Su Ren quickly put down his tea cup and walked out of the tent. He guessed correctly that the person following Zhang Guangchang was Liu Shuang, the Crown Prince of Hengshan Kingdom. Looking at the young man in front of him, Su Ren wanted to laugh. This boy has been hiding his identity.
Why did he come so high-profile all of a sudden? Why did he do it in the first place? Hiding his head and showing his tail makes people think this guy is a bit stupid.
Su Ren quickly saluted: "Su Ren pays homage to the Crown Prince."
Liu Shuang drank wine, his face turned a little red, and reflected the red light under the light of the torch: "Su Changshi, just don't blame me for concealing my identity, no need to salute!"
After entering the account, Liu Shuang was stunned when he found that there were people inside. Su Ren quickly said: "Your Majesty, don't be surprised, these are all my brothers. Come, serve tea to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please try the tea I brought from Shu County."
How does the tea taste compared to ordinary tea soup?"
Liu Shuang felt a little uncomfortable because everyone was staring at him, making him uncomfortable. He thought that no one would come at night, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people. Li Danghu took the lead to say goodbye, followed by Wei Qing and Gongsun He.
Huang Shisan got Liu Shuang a cup of tea and left. Su Ren and Liu Shuang were the only two people left in the tent.
Watching Liu Shuang take a sip, Su Ren asked with a smile: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Liu Shuang thought about it for a long time: "Yes, it is bitter first and then sweet, and the aftertaste is endless."
Su Ren gave a thumbs up: "Your Majesty is also a tea lover. This tea is similar to life. It has the meaning of joy after hardship. No matter how big the problem is, as long as you bear it, everything will be solved."
Liu Shuang glanced at Su Ren and shook his head: "It's different! To be honest, ever since I became the heir, I thought everything would be fine. Unexpectedly, my mother died of illness suddenly, and suddenly things changed drastically." Liu Shuang said.
Shuang looked around, took out a piece of silk from his sleeve and handed it to Su Ren: "Su Changshi is a person that your Majesty relies on. I wonder if I can pass this letter to your Majesty?"
"Oh?" Su Ren reached out and took it, about to unfold it.
Liu Shuang stopped him: "Don't look at it, Su Changshi. This matter is of great importance, and there is no need for Su Changshi to send it back to Chang'an immediately. If Su Changshi hears my bad news in the future, please forward it to His Majesty!"
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Liu Shuang put down the tea cup with a sad look on his face: "As the saying goes, if the emperor is not upright, his ministers will defect to foreign countries; if the father is not kind, his son will flee to another country. Su Changshi does not need to ask more about the reason. He will just give this letter to your majesty in the future.
, Liu Shuang is extremely grateful."
Su Ren more or less heard some meaning from Liu Shuang's words. As a member of a big family, nothing can drive people crazy than the struggle for dominance. Liu Shuang is the prince of Hengshan, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him below.
It is not a strange thing for him to engage in intrigues and intrigues below his buttocks.
Su Ren nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, if anything happens to Your Majesty, I will help you deliver this letter to His Majesty!"
With tears in Liu Shuang's eyes, he took Su Ren's hand: "Thank you Su Changshi, there is no one I can trust in this Huainan Kingdom. I have heard Su Changshi's words for a long time, so I entrusted this important matter to him."
, this matter is of great importance and must not fall into the hands of others."
Liu Shuang came in drunk and went out in tears. Several people who had been outside the account waited for Liu Shuang to leave and came in immediately. Gongsun He jumped up and down: "What does this kid want from you?"
Su Ren shook his head: "It's nothing."
"Don't lie, there's nothing you can't cry about? Tell me!"
Su Ren said with a smile: "I am very emotional. I feel like old friends at first sight. How many times can I cry?"
Knowing that Su Ren would not say anything, Li Danghu and Wei Qing remained silent. Gongsun He pestered him for a long time, but Su Ren didn't miss a beat and said angrily: "If you don't talk about it, I won't let you blame me for what went wrong."
, you are so boring, let’s go!”
After sending everyone away, Su Ren sat alone in the tent, with the silk silk that Liu Shuang had just given him in front of him. It was sewn up with needle and thread to prevent others from peeking. Su Ren might not pay attention, he wanted to take a look.
What is written inside, and I am worried that once it is opened, it cannot be restored. If Liu Shuang finds out, this guy will definitely treat himself as a villain, scratching his head and being unable to do anything. (To be continued)
