In the Gusu Palace, Gou Chen repeatedly chanted the word "Jia Zi". Gou Chen, who was 58 years old last year and 59 years old this year, rarely looked tired.
"Jiazi."
He muttered again, like a long sigh, and finally became quiet.
"For your information, Your Majesty, Li Jie, the son of Jiangyin, has arrived at the royal city."
"Um."
Waving his hand to signal "Nei Shu" to step back, Gou Chen expressed that he understood.
After the "Neisu" retreated, a young man at the entrance of the corridor outside asked the "Neisu" in a low voice: "How is it?"
"Ahem."
The "inner vertical" that came out stretched out his hand and made a weighing gesture.
"How can I, Brother Jie, who is the most macho man, break his word? How can I do it without you?"
"Ahem."
I still weighed it with my palms.
When Xiaojie saw this, he reluctantly took out a gold coin from his arms.
After patting the other person's hand, he grabbed the other person's hand: "How?"
"We are both working in the palace, and Brother Jie wants to inquire about the news. How can I not inform him?"
After withdrawing his hand, the "neiju" lowered his voice and leaned into Xiaojie's ear: "The king said the word 'Jia Zi' and looked unhappy."
"Well……"
Xiaojie, who is also a "Neiju", cannot enter the deep palace. The younger "Neiju" can have some power to move around in the palace. There is only one reason: he was castrated.
Xiaojie is still hesitating whether to have a knife or not. The advanced castration technology recently imported from Wu State is not very effective and it is not easy to kill people.
After the new king ascends the throne, the palace staff will definitely have to be replaced. The old guys will definitely abdicate so that the new ones can take the lead.
Judging from the family's considerations, Xiaojie really wanted to have a knife for himself. Anyway, after he got rich last year, he found many beautiful concubines, and several of them became pregnant.
If he could gain a foothold in the palace and become a "permanent attendant", the power of family inheritance would fall into his hands.
The only thing I have to worry about is that after the castration, if the child dies in infancy, the only option is to adopt him or her.
Although he is young, he has quite a lot of ideas, especially after frequently dealing with the fierce commander, his ideas change every day.
"I'll have a rest for the rest of the month. Please have a drink."
"What wine?!"
Seeing Xiaojie about to leave, "Nei Shu"'s eyes lit up, and he did not continue to rub the gold coins. Instead, he grabbed Xiaojie's sleeve and said, "Brother Jie has a way. Do you still have the wine from last time?"
"You think wine comes from heaven?"
After glaring at the little eunuch, Brother Jie took off his sleeves and said, "I won't be short of your fine wine then."
"Hehe... Brother Jie, walk slowly."
After watching Xiaojie leave, the young "Naiju", who was still a teenager, played with the gold coins. This gold coin was not produced in any country, but was privately minted after the Yinxiang was melted.
There is a small hole in the gold coin for the hemp rope to pass through.
"very nice."
After biting a row of stamps on the gold coin, the little eunuch quickly put the gold coin away. With this gold coin, his family's expenses for half a year were covered.
As long as you don't eat white sand eel, your daily entertainment should not be too nourishing.
When Xiaojie came out of the palace, he saw Jiang Yinzi's guard of honor, then he made his way into the team and reached the front, only then did Li Jie see him.
County Magistrate Li's eyes lit up when he saw it was "Brother Jie", "Brother Jie" come and tell me how Kangkang is developing...
"Jie, I have met Jiang Yinzi."
"We're separated, we're separated. Xiaojie, didn't I tell you that you can just call me Brother Li in private?"
"Brother Li."
"I can't let you call me Brother Li in vain, take the flowers."
As he spoke, County Magistrate Li took out a brocade bag from his arms. It was green gauze brocade printed and dyed by Baisha himself. The price was medium to high and it was usually used for ready-made clothes.
The brocade bag is embroidered with flowers and colors, at least five or six colors, which makes it look precious.
There was a clanking and rattling sound inside, and you knew it was a metal object.
But it's not an arrow. Outside the royal city, County Magistrate Li can't hold an arrow.
"hey-hey……"
Xiaojie wanted to extend his hand, but was a little embarrassed.
"Are you looking down on Brother Li?"
"Thank you, Brother Li."
"That's right."
Seeing Xiaojie taking the kit, County Magistrate Li smiled and said, "Why don't you open it and take a look?"
"hey-hey……"
Xiaojie giggled again. He didn't actually open it, but he weighed it in his hands. As an "old Jianghu", he also felt that there should be gold inside.
"Brother Li."
"explain."
Seeing that Xiaojie calmed down his expression and lowered his voice seriously, Li Jie turned sideways and blocked Xiaojie from behind.
At this time, big bosses were coming one after another, and Xiaojie Gong had changed into regular clothes. Anyone who didn't recognize "Nei Shu" would only think that he was a servant of Jiang Yinzi.
"The king was sighing in the palace and chanting the word 'Jia Zi'."
"Jiazi?"
"The king's life span is fifty-nine."
Fifty-nine years old is the threshold for sixty-nine years old.
When County Magistrate Li was the foreman, people often talked about seventy-three or eighty-four, but these days, what they miss most is Jiazi.
It is like reincarnation and has a special meaning.
"I see that there is a strong atmosphere in Wang Ji. Why is this?"
"The king has imprisoned the master Zhu Yujiangtang, the doctor of the hot spring, and the master Chou is also banned from going out..." He told two breaking news. The latter one, Li Jie, had heard about it, but the former one had no idea at all.
Wenquan doctor Gongzi Zhu is one of Gouchen's old brothers and is mainly responsible for the defense of the Yangtze River. To the west of Hangou is Jiangtang, which is Tangyi. On the other side of the river from Tangyi is Wenquan.
Prince Zhu's fiefdom is here, but he has the same official title. He is not a county prime minister or a county lieutenant, but a county doctor.
If the State of Chu wants to unite with its younger brothers to attack the State of Wu and go straight down the river, they have to face Tangyi and Wenquan.
Now the old monster Gouchen has imprisoned Mr. Zhu, the hot spring doctor. It is obvious that he is worried about the future.
"Any more?"
"There's one more thing, I don't know if it's true or not, I just eavesdropped by chance..."
As he spoke, Xiaojie leaned into Li Jie's ear and said, "Young Master Yin may have returned secretly. According to the king's decree, the Nanchao clan surrounded him but did not suppress him."
"If so, is the situation so bad?"
Li Jie was a little surprised. The old monster Gou Chen must have had a big problem with his body, otherwise it would be impossible for him to perform a series of big actions.
Of course, there is another possibility that the old monster is still acting and tricking others.
However, Li Jie judged that Gou Chen might have really experienced a physical crisis. There was a weather vane that could explain the problem: Dazai Ziqi was about to go to Yue as an envoy.
The mission time is today!
It was supposed to be a joyful celebration, but something went wrong soon, and a decree came from the palace: state affairs are the most important thing.
In short, it means the same thing: you have a good time, and I won’t accompany you. When you have fun, remember to work overtime. This is a blessing, do you understand?
There was a haze over the heads of the ministers who were already distracted, but County Magistrate Li was in a haze...
"Damn it, I haven't even shown off in public, so I'm going to the country of Yue?"
We arrived in Gusu in the morning, and then organized a group to go to Kuaiji in the afternoon.
On the dock, Zi Qi even said with a smile: "State affairs are the most important thing. State affairs are the most important thing."
State affairs are your uncle! I want to go back and play with my wife!
The unhappy Li Jie also got into his boat. It was already the second day that the fleet had crossed the five lakes.
"Shou Li! It's not good!"
"Hmm?! What's the fuss about? Don't you want me to get some beauty sleep?!"
"Shou Li! Something bad is happening!"
Outside the cabin, Sha Heng, who rarely spoke, had a trembling tone in his voice.
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
"Dazai ran away!"
"..."
The bleary-eyed County Magistrate Li suddenly became sober at that moment.
"What ran away?"
"Dazai up!"
We agreed to go boating on the West Lake. I just planned to recruit a construction team to dig out the West Lake, and you fucking ran away?
County Magistrate Li was confused. What does this mean now? What should I do?
Following Li Jie southward were Dazai Ziqi's family members, all of whom were crying and crying, almost wanting to die, but they refused to do so.
At this time, at the gate where Xixi River in Yinxiang enters the river, three passenger ships are leisurely heading to Jiangbei.
In the cabin, Wu Guotai Ziqi put on makeup, looking like an old businessman. A young man next to him asked curiously: "Father, where are we going?"
"Go to Chen State. I have an old relationship with Chen Jun. It's okay to go to Chen State and lie dormant for a year or two, and then become prime minister."
