The emperor scolded Zhou Xuan and Chen Danzhu, and warned them that if they dared to cause trouble again, they would be imprisoned in Tingyun Temple together.
After scolding the two men, the emperor became more and more angry and wrote another letter scolding the Iron Mask General.
It was all because General Iron Mask gave Chen Dan and Zhu Xiaowei that Chen Danzhu became rampant in the capital. Now he can even enter the palace at will.
"Chen Danzhu can't avoid her? She knew Zhou Xuan was jealous and insisted on making a fuss. Zhou Xuan really beat her to death. What can I do?"
The Iron-faced General put the letter on the table and smiled: "Your Majesty is really worried."
Wang Xian held the pen in his hand and asked solemnly, "What should I tell His Majesty?" He couldn't help complaining, "She shouldn't have been given a guard in the first place."
General Ironface pointed at the letter paper spread in front of Wang Xian: "Just tell His Majesty, don't worry, with those ten brave guards around, Zhou Xuan will never be able to kill Chen Danzhu."
Wang Xian stared: "Is this what your Majesty is worried about?"
"Isn't this what Your Majesty is worried about?" General Iron Mask asked, "Aren't you just worried that Zhou Xuan and Chen Danzhu will vent their anger? Are you worried that they will fall in love with each other?"
What nonsense are you talking about? Wang Xian slapped the pen on the table: "I can't write this letter. This is not asking for forgiveness from His Majesty, but also making trouble with His Majesty! You three just make trouble."
The iron-faced general's voice was hoarse and gentle: "How can this be a joke? This is reasonable."
Wang Xian snorted: "The General is the best at reasoning. Your Majesty has never told you."
The iron-faced general nodded: "Then your Majesty is unreasonable."
Wang Xian had no choice but to face his wanton attitude. He pointed at the letter and said, "This Chen Danzhu, look at what this Chen Danzhu has done."
General Iron Mask looked at the letter. These things he was already familiar with were described by the emperor again, and he seemed to read them again. The emperor's description was as concise and clear as the bamboo forest. The iron mask covered the corners of his slightly raised mouth.
"Aren't these things all good?" he said, "Princess Jin Yao has come to the new capital and has new playmates, so she doesn't have to be depressed at all. The third prince also has new expectations, and the new capital has a new atmosphere.
"
"That's it for Princess Jinyao. Little girls are having fun. It's all about having fun. Just be happy." Wang Xian frowned and said, "The third prince treated his illness and she said it could be cured. It gave the third prince new expectations. Then
If it can’t be cured and expectations turn into disappointment, wouldn’t this make the third prince blame her and hate her?”
"Your idea is quite strange." General Iron Mask looked at him, "She said it could be cured, and the Third Prince believed it. If it can't be cured by then, how can you blame Chen Danzhu? You shouldn't blame yourself for not thinking well.
?"
Whose idea is this? Wang Xian looked at him with strange eyes: "Your views on things are really different."
"That's because you have the wrong idea." The Iron-faced General said, waving his hand, "Just think about it from another angle."
Wang Xian laughed dryly. He didn't want to discuss his ideas with the lunatic. He pointed to the letter on the table: "I don't care what you think in your heart. You can't reply to His Majesty like this."
Your Majesty must not be angered again.
The Iron-faced General hummed: "Then write it to Your Majesty, I understand."
Wang Xian rubbed his face with both hands and pushed the pen and paper to him: "I, Wang Xian, have been cold for twenty years. I am rich in knowledge and talented. General, write these three words yourself."
The iron-faced general seemed to be smiling: "I'll write it. I'll write it together after reading Zhulin's letter."
Wang Xian asked: "What else was written in the bamboo forest?"
The Iron-faced General flipped through a thick stack: "That's what His Majesty said. The difference from His Majesty is that it is from Miss Danzhu's point of view."
"What do you think of Miss Danzhu's perspective?" Wang Xian asked curiously.
The Iron-faced General flipped through the letter and read one paragraph: "Just describe the frailty? Helplessness? Grief and anger, as well as concern for me and hope for my return?"
Wang Xian stared: "Zhu Lin is crazy, how can you see this?"
Thinking of the girl's various manners in front of him, the iron-faced general's hoarse voice brought a smile: "Miss Danzhu is so fragile, helpless, and angry. She should care and expect her true feelings to be revealed."
Wang Xian rolled his eyes: "When will you go back, old father?"
It will be winter in the blink of an eye.
Another year passed in the blink of an eye.
"The overall situation has been decided, the new capital has been completed, some people have been granted the title of marquis, and some have become the prime minister." Wang Xian said slowly, "The general cannot get further and further away from the emperor's court."
As a military general, what you fear most is not fighting on the battlefield, but the settlement of the battle.
The Iron-faced General shook his head: "I can't go back yet. What I'm looking for hasn't been found yet."
Wang Xian knew what he was looking for. One was the money from Qi State's treasury, and the other was Qi State's soldiers and horses. In these days, he had read almost all the classics of Qi State for decades. Qi State's current money and soldiers
The number of horses does not match.
The ministers of the King of Qi were interrogated one after another, and many were beheaded. The King of Qi and the Queen Mother of Qi were also interrogated from time to time, but nothing was found.
Wang Xian felt that maybe these did not exist at all.
"After the investigation of Wu State and Zhou State, it was not as strong as imagined." He said, "One building of the King of Wu was equivalent to the treasury of ten years, and the food and salary of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Although the King of Qi is a sick man,
But there are also no shortage of beauties and jewels in the harem’s pavilions and pavilions.”
The Iron-faced General nodded: "Maybe." He stood up, "The prince hasn't gone to Xinjing yet, so I don't need to rush, just give him some time."
Wang Xian watched him walking out and asked quickly: "Where are you going? Didn't you write the letter?"
The iron-faced general said: "Just write these six words later. The Prince of Qi has arrived in the capital. I will go and tell the Prince of Qi to reassure him."
Wang Xian picked up the emperor's letter on the table and said to himself with a smile: "The King of Qi doesn't care whether the Crown Prince has arrived in the capital or not. Only when you return to the capital can he truly feel at ease."
Seeing the Iron-faced General approaching from afar, the eunuchs outside King Qi's palace hurriedly ran inside to report.
In the palace, the concubines and beauties were sitting around. After hearing the report, the Queen Mother looked at the beauties and said it was a pity.
There are dozens of women of different ages in the palace, some are mature and beautiful, some are young and astringent, and they all have their own characteristics. Men all over the world will salivate when they see them, but——
The Iron Masked General is too old.
I have tried this before, with various beauties in the palace or serving the general, but the iron-faced general showed no trouble at all.
"Mother, don't worry." King Qi said, "The general is old and has no interest in beauty, and the princes are still young. Sending a beauty to serve can always express our feelings."
Except for the prince who got married early and had a son, the other five princes have not yet married. The emperor will not let the women sent by the princes and kings to be the prince's wife. It is always okay to serve him as a slave.
The Queen Mother's eyes swept across the front and fell on some of the girls.
The young and beautiful girls lowered their heads shyly. Only one of them met the Queen Mother's gaze and smiled softly.
The Queen Mother couldn't remember her name for a moment, and when she was about to ask, the eunuch shouted from outside: "Your Majesty, the general is here."
The Queen Mother put away her reverie and led the women back from the back hall, while the iron-faced general walked in slowly.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has successfully entered the capital." His voice was slow.
King Qi let out a happy smile: "That's great. The prince is by your majesty's side and feels at ease."
