In the Gusu Palace, Dazai Ziqi stopped two "Naiju" who were walking in a hurry, and asked the two young boys with a calm expression: "Why are you coming and going in such a hurry? What's the matter?"
"Too, too...Dazai!"
The two "Neisu" quickly saluted, folded their hands in front of them, bowed their heads and bent over, a series of extremely skillful movements. The so-called "Neisu" were young men who helped run errands in the palace, most of them fifteen or sixteen years old.
Facing Dazai Ziqi, the two young men were obviously startled and looked at each other. They were afraid of the majesty of the king and did not dare to reveal the information casually.
However, Zi Qi looked indifferent and waved his hand and said: "I have been assisting the king for many years, but I cannot mess with the laws. So, you only need to tell me, but something happened outside the palace?"
The two teenagers looked at each other, then said "Yeah" and nodded in unison.
Zidian nodded and waved for them to leave. The two teenagers saluted again and ran away quickly.
"So there was a change outside the palace? No, it shouldn't be. Or there are serious rumors..."
After thinking about it, Ziqi turned back directly, not caring that the king was still meeting Prince Ba and Ying Jian. As an important minister of King Gouchen of Wu, Dazai Ziqi's casual behavior in the palace showed that he was
position in the heart of King Wu.
"King!"
Ziqi just bowed slightly, then walked to the front on his cloth shoes. He looked at King Wu Gou Chen and asked, "Your Majesty, did news come to the palace just now?"
"You can't hide it from Bo Qi."
Gouchen's beard and hair are gray, but a little bit of black can still be seen. He has a majestic appearance and bright eyes. When he speaks, his voice seems to go around in his throat before bursting out. When others listen, they just think that someone is in a
He was talking in the vat, and his ears were buzzing.
"Since you are the King's minion, you should share the King's worries!"
Ziqi had a serious look on his face and an extremely upright attitude. It was impossible to tell that this was a huge corruption.
"Boqi, someone reported just now that there are children in Gusu singing "Gou Chen Mei, King Xuanwu"."
"Hmm?! How bold--"
Ziqi suddenly became furious and his eyes widened, "Why is your Majesty so calm here?! Such villainous behavior should be severely punished!"
"Bo Qi, don't be anxious." Gou Chen stretched out his hand to signal Zi Qi to calm down and said seriously, "Such rumors must have a purpose, why should they be used by traitors?"
The calm and calm King Wu's every move was like magic, calming down the irritable Dazai immediately.
However, the faces of Young Master Ba and Ying Jian, who were kneeling in front of them, suddenly changed. Ying Jian didn't know what the meaning of "King Xuanwu" was, but he understood "Gou Chen Mei". Such rumors,
He was clearly cursing King Wu to die early.
Mr. Ba, on the other hand, was so frightened that he almost had a cardiac arrest, because the state of Wu had a saying of "Four Young Masters" and "Six Young Masters" in those days, which meant four or six young masters with their own talents in the powerful Wu Kingdom. Regardless of which kind
It is said that Gongzi Xuan is one of them.
Gongzi Xuan was controlling water at that time and was known as "Xuanwu". Of course, in fact, the reason why Ji Xuan was named Xuan was indeed related to "Xuanwu". When the late king was still alive, when Gongzi Xuan was born, he met a giant black turtle emerging from the water in Baidu.
pop up.
Instead of frightening the late king, the late king thought that this was an auspicious omen, so he named Gongzi Xuan "Xuan". Its meaning was that the black turtle passing by was an auspicious omen.
Later, when Gongzi Xuan grew up, he often assisted the late king in controlling floods, and the title of "Xuanwu" became even more solid.
"King Xuanwu" may have other explanations elsewhere, but in Gusu, it is only thought that Prince Xuan was about to become King of Wu.
After all, Ying Jian didn't know much about the Kingdom of Wu. Unlike Master Ba, he had been begging for food in the Kingdom of Wu all year round, so he knew a lot about the background of the major nobles.
Now when I heard what "King Xuanwu" said, I almost pissed myself on the spot.
You know, the Yancheng County Magistrate just came to blackmail their Yinxiang Township commander, and then they came over to meet the king, and then rumors spread outside that "Gou Chenmei, King Xuanwu"...
This damn thing just wants them to die!
Wouldn't the King of Wu suspect that these two people were deliberately attacking Young Master Xuan? Moreover, they were evil, and they even cursed the king.
What is this?! This is a crime worthy of death!
Thinking of this, Young Master Ba couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
Dazai Ziqi looked at Young Master Ba and then at Ying Jian. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. He looked at Wu Wang Gouchen with a normal expression: "Your Majesty, even if it is a rumor, it should be severely punished. I have something I want to tell you.
Yu Dawang."
After saying that, Dazaizi bowed slightly, obviously intending to go to work with King Wu.
King Wu Gou Chen was stunned for a moment, then said: "If so..."
After pondering for a while, the King of Wu looked at Young Master Ba and Ying Jian with deep eyes: "Two gentlemen, I am busy with official business, and if you have any plans for the country, please choose a day to come back to the palace and have a chat with me."
Both Master Ba and Ying Jian were overjoyed, and they quickly saluted and said: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, how dare you bother me, resign, resign..."
After "Nei Shu" took them out of the hall, Gongzi Ba and Ying Jian both walked quickly, fearing that someone would call them from behind.
"What can Bo Qi tell me?"
"I believe that this rumor is definitely not the work of Ji Ba and Ying Jian."
"No one knows."
Gou Chen nodded. The expressions of the two people in the hall just now did not look like they could be the masterminds. It can only be said that they were a bit unlucky to encounter such a thing.
"There is one more thing. I heard what the guest said a long time ago, but I never verified it, so I didn't tell the king."
His expression seemed a little hesitant. Ziqi lowered his head as if he was contemplating something. After a while, he said in a thoughtful tone, "I heard that the 'Baiyu clan' in Huaishang has Luyi, and Luyi has the auspicious beast White Deer."
"oh?!"
After Gou Chen heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, "It's so auspicious, so I should... huh?!"
Suddenly, King Wu's expression changed. Although he was old, his majesty was quite sharp, and his brows changed slightly, which made the servants on the left and right panic and dare not move.
"White Deer went to Yancheng as a recruitment gift. Yuwei, the lord of Luyi City, has a girl named '嫮', which is the beauty of '嫮泽'. I heard from my disciples that Yuwei has long wanted to offer his daughter to Yancheng..."
"really?!"
"Bai Lao must be in Yinxiang at this moment."
"The so-called beautiful concubine was kidnapped by 'savages', that's what it is!"
Bang! Bang! Bang...
King Wu slowly patted the table in front of him, and then said: "In this way, Ji Xuan has no rebellious heart, and he is very different. The white deer paid tribute to Yancheng as a gift. Is this the master of the Huai River?
Changed someone?"
Seeing that King Wu had entered the state, Dazaizi stood up with a calm expression and said: "Young Master Xuan is stationed at Huaihe River, and he is the pillar of the Wu Kingdom. Doing whatever you want on the Huaihe River is not necessarily rebellious. Young Master Xuan only needs to pay tribute to the White Deer."
In Gusu, if it is a rumor, it will be disproven; if it is not a rumor..."
It sounded like he was doing things impartially, but King Wu Gou Chen's eyes were filled with anger.
"Boqi."
"I'm here."
"Send an envoy to Luyi to inquire about Yuwei."
"I will obey the king's orders."
Dazaizi stood up and bowed, and when he lowered his head, he showed a proud smile.
