I'm not Murong Chong

Ren Zhen smiled and said: "Your Highness is serious."

Sima Yuanxian remained unmoved, pointed at the sword and said: "You rehearsed a sword dance with great pains, isn't it just to give this 'Bi Hai Ning Light Sword' to Xiao Wang?"

It is well known that Sima Yuanxian likes to collect ancient magic weapons, but Ren Zhen shook his head with a half-smile, and pushed the sword-bearing man kneeling at his feet forward, and raised the corners of his lips: "And this son."

Sima Yuanxian secretly wondered how he knew about his recent little hobby, but then thought that Wang Guobao had always been greedy for money, money is a magic trick, since he can get close to him, how could such a small matter not be found out?So he lowered his eyelids, swept across the young man's face, and thought: After all, it is just a fake, with its shape but no spirit. Although it has a vigorous hand and a handsome face, it is still a musician who serves servants in Israel. . "Although he is a southerner, he has been trained by you in private." Sima Yuanxian glanced at Ren Zhen, shook his head slightly, and said with a pun, "Xiao Wang dare not accept this great gift."

Ren Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness thinks you are light?"

This deputy envoy of Yan State is unknown, but he is very courageous!Sima Yuanxian stretched his face and said: "Phoenix has no treasures, and the situation is not clear, how dare Xiao Wang give it to others in private?"

"Your Highness has a high position and authority, and is extremely courageous. The whole country wants to make friends with you."

It really came for the alliance.Sima Yuanxian sneered and turned his head away, "The Jin-Yan alliance, Xiao Wang can't be the master, please let the deputy envoy go to the court to make it worse."

The former envoys of Yan Yan tried every means to please the empress but failed. Although Wang Shen'ai still ordered to treat the envoys of Yan courteously, the court held a conservative attitude towards their proposal of an alliance between the two countries to jointly attack Hou Yan—in other words, the days of peace were too long Well, who wants to make much ado about nothing?What's more, Murong Chui, the leader of the Later Yan Kingdom, was known as the "God of War" when he was in his prime, and his military force was strong. Although the Xiyan Kingdom is flourishing now, and has gained many gains in repeated confrontations, it may not be able to please it if it is really a decisive battle. Naturally, it is better to wait and see.

"Then let's just talk about Fengyue today." Ren Zhen suddenly pulled up the young man who had just danced the sword, and hugged him into his arms. Mosuo up and down bit his lip and let out a low moan full of meaning.Sima Yuanxian was taken aback for a moment, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

"Your Highness really has no interest in this child?" Ren Zhen kept moving, and after a moment of caressing, he even peeled off his outer robe and single clothes, and then tore it off, revealing a lot of spring, "Jiangshan beauty, so delicate."

Sima Yuanxian's eyes lit up, and he held his breath involuntarily. The young man's waist and abdomen were no longer naked and white, but a stretch of undulating mountains, green peaks and clear water was painted.

"Geographic map of Xichuan." Sima Yuanxian murmured in a low voice—unlike his father, who was content with the status quo and dreamed of dying, he has never wanted to regain Sichuan since he took over the power, so he went to Qiaozong to achieve his goal Unworldly accomplishments can naturally be seen through at a glance.

Ren Zhen tightened one hand, wrapped his arms around the young man who was pink all over because of shame, and turned him around half a circle gently, and behind him was a very different scene, sinking into his buttocks.He whispered to Sima Yuanxian persuadingly: "The beauty of this son is not limited to this. There is also a map of Yangpingguan hidden behind him. Is your highness interested-take the joke?"

Yangping Pass is the junction of Hanzhong and Sichuan, and it is also a strong and dangerous pass that cannot be opened by one man. Qin and Yan sent troops to Shu to support Qiao Zong in resisting Jin. It is self-evident to tell the terrain and strength of the places that must be contested.

Sima Yuanxian's eyes flashed, and he looked at Ren Zhen with serious and suspicious eyes: "Who are you?"

Ren Zhen gently pushed the person into his arms, and smiled naturally: "Deputy Envoy of Dayan, Guanglu Cheng Ren Zhen, named Renzhi."

This is also a middle-level and senior official of the third grade with a salary of Qianshi, and he directly obeys the order of Xiyan Shangshuling Yao Song, and is one of Yan Emperor Murong Chong's think tank staff, so there is no doubt that this action came from Yao Song's instruction.Sima Yuanxian lost his suspicion when he heard the words - he had calculated everything, and he probably would not have guessed that there would be someone in this world taking risks alone as the king of a country.

He made up his mind, so he didn't want to be easily seen through by the envoys of Xiyan. He stroked the slippery skin under his hands, and smiled sarcastically: "Your emperor has made a lot of money, and even the allies who have been secretly supporting him will have to abandon it." Don't care?"

Ren Zhen didn't get angry, and said with a smile: "At this moment and at that moment, in order to win the Jin Dynasty to start a war against Houyan, my lord is very sincere."

"Although Xiao Wang is appointed Minister of the Book, but such a major matter, I am not the only one who can specialize in it. I have appointed Xie Xuan and Xie Dudu for the military affairs of the court. I am afraid that Mr. Ren has found the wrong person."

"Of course you can't be wrong!" Ren Zhen waved his hand and said, "Forgive me for saying something that doesn't sound good to me—the people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty who are content with the status quo, only the little prince, a young hero, has high ambitions, so I am willing to come here Throwing stones to ask the way, to give His Royal Highness this great gift-now there are military generals in the town who say that they are the same, why? It is all because of their great achievements. However, if His Highness can regain Xichuan and destroy Shu Kingdom, the prestige and popularity will be even greater than him. Whoever orders Jiang Zuo Dare you not follow? At that time, we will send our troops to the north and form an alliance with our country to destroy Houyan. You and I will share the land of Guandong in Henan Province equally, and your Highness's contribution will be even greater than that of Jianwu Emperor Sima Rui!"

These words can be said to be exactly what he likes, flattering enough, and honestly speaking into Sima Yuanxian's heart.In Jiankang, although he was one person under ten thousand people, no matter how much the people around him flattered him, he would never dare to compare Sima Yuanxian, who was born as a concubine, with the chaos in the Central Plains, when Shenzhou sank to the land, and led the nobles and common people to travel south. , Sima Rui, the emperor of Jin and Yuan, who was the continuation of Jinzuo and established the capital Jiankang, was compared.Although Sima Yuanxian is a man of resoluteness and intelligence, but he thinks highly of himself and is very happy with his accomplishments. Hearing this is naturally very useful, and when he thinks that he can really recover Sichuan and lead the Northern Expedition, Xie Xuan is also amazed and sincerely convinced. , I have already felt a little loose in my heart.He looked at Ren Zhen with a smile, and raised his wine cup: "Master Ren is very eloquent—Xiao Wang will accept your favor and make you a friend!"

Ren Zhen clinked glasses with him and drank it down, knowing that he had finally won the first crucial chess piece above the Eastern Jin court—this was just the first step in a long journey.

The most difficult enemy he faced was still the uncrowned king of the Jiangdong family——Xie Xuan.

Liu Yu chased away his soldiers, walked alone on a mountain path with a robe in his hands, and before he reached the top of the mountain, he heard a burst of vibrating zither sounds coming over the mountains and seas, just like a river below the mountain. Snow broken jade.He couldn't help but hold his breath and wait quietly outside the octagonal pavilion.Not long after, the qin player in the hall left his five fingers off the strings, paused, and stroked the qin lightly again.

"The governor seldom plays the piano these days. It's rare for me to be in a good mood today. Finally, I will finally have this blessing to hear the music of nature." Liu Yu just walked into the pavilion at this moment, handed out the brocade robe in his hand, and was just about to put it on for Xie Xuan himself, while burning incense and holding a stove. Yang Ping hurriedly took it with his hands and prepared the clothes for his son.

Xie Xuanwei lifted his chin and let him move, while looking at Liu Yu: "Oh? Ji Nu thinks this piano sound can be called heaven?"

Liu Yu paused slightly when he heard the words, and then smiled and said: "The general is a rough man, and he doesn't understand the rhythm, so naturally he only knows one good word. However, the sound of this piano seems...too generous, and it doesn't match the couplets on the pavilion."

Xie Xuan followed his gaze, and there was a touch in his heart - a bullet of flowing water and a bullet of the moon, half into the river and half into the cloud - the light and wind and the moon, the ancient seclusion with high mountains and long rivers, is the true meaning of this way, he With deep thoughts and disturbing thoughts, how can you escape from the world?After a long time, he nodded and smiled self-deprecatingly: "After all, I can't be as free and easy as Ji Kang in the past, who waved the five strings and watched the return, bowed and complacently wandered the mind."

Liu Yu secretly said in his heart: it's not like Ji Kang, otherwise he will die.In today's troubled times, where the strong live, why do you want to be reclusive and famous?He kept his business in mind, so he changed the subject, took out a document from his sleeve, and said suddenly: "Captain, the envoys from Xiyan have arrived in Jiankang for many days, and all the movements during these days are recorded in the book."

Xie Xuan murmured, but did not accept the reading, and began to clean his hands as if concentrating on it. Just as Liu Yu was about to say more, Xie Xuan said slowly: "You don't need to read any more. Xiyan's purpose is nothing more than to let me send troops to the court to destroy Houyan together— ——Is Xiyan's ambition easy to match? In my opinion, it is better to maintain the status quo in the Northern Central Plains than to dominate the whole country. If we try to drive away tigers and devour wolves, our country will suffer from it. Let him speak like a tongue, With hands and eyes open to the sky, we just ignore it and see how much time they have to waste with me."

Liu Yu nodded in agreement, and after a while lowered his voice and said: "But the envoy of Yan, Wu Lie, was moving around, and even the last general was given a heavy gift, which cost a lot of money."

oh?It was only then that Xie Xuan was a little surprised—since the people of Yan wanted to give gifts, they would not only attack one place, they must be throwing money all over the sky, and none of the generals in the Beifu would fail to achieve the purpose of wooing bribes.Liu Yu hurriedly said: "The last general naturally declined on the spot, and never dared to betray the governor."

Xie Xuan smiled slightly: "Why refuse? The military is bitterly cold, and since someone is willing to contribute, you can accept it with a smile. Why should you live up to their kindness?"

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, almost suspecting that Xie Xuan was trying to test him on purpose, and just about to confess again, he heard Xie Xuan say again: "Since he wants to be a money-spreading boy, let him be, and I am also happy to borrow flowers to present Buddha to reward my subordinates. "

But in the end, there was absolutely no room for change in this matter, and it was nothing more than asking him to fetch water from a bamboo basket.

Liu Yu naturally knew that the "he" Xie Xuan was referring to was Murong Chong, the emperor of Xiyan. The Yiyang battle ended disastrously, and Xie Xuan always cited it as a pity. Xie Xuan has absolutely no possibility of agreeing to the matter of forming an alliance with Xiyan, both public and private.

"In short, let him wind from east to west, from north to south, and I will stand still." Xie Xuan rubbed his eyebrows, and said tiredly, "You all go down, and I will sit down for a while."

The two took the order and left, leaving Xie Xuan alone to sit in the pavilion. After a long time, he suddenly stretched out his hand and plucked the strings, sliding all the way down, playing a clear and short sound.Where the fingers rest, there is a trace of a corner of white jade inlaid, warm and unpretentious, but overflowing with light.

Back then, he was forced to retreat from Yiyang due to a bad move by others. He always regarded it as a lifelong hatred. On the way to retreat, he was slightly drunk and played the piano one night to concentrate. However, because of thinking and irritability, he impulsively smashed the famous piano "floating chime" that he carried with him. ——This Qin is an ancient relic in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was a gift from Xie An, the famous minister of the past. His fake "Jade Seal of Chuanguo".

Xie Xuanhe looked up, and raised the corners of his lips mockingly: At that time, he was eager to mend the piano and ignored other things, but he refused to let this Xibei product accompany him close to him. Until now, it is ironic.

Xie Xuan's immobility is like a mountain, so Ren Zhen in Jiankang City has no real progress even though he is full of money.Even with the support of Sima Yuanxian, without the approval of the emperor and the support of the ministers, Xiyan's long-distance and near-attack strategy of combining vertical and horizontal alliances cannot be used.Fortunately, Ren Zhen was anxious in his heart, but he was calm on the surface. When he sent people to do secret activities, he just reported to Sima Yuanxian's palace from time to time, eating, drinking, having fun, and doing everything.

Ren Zhen got off the sedan chair in the thick night, and rewarded the attendants sent by Sima Yuanxian to escort them with a pleasant face, before stepping into the post house where they temporarily stayed in Jiankang City.As soon as the door closed behind him, the cynical smile on Ren Zhen's face disappeared immediately, and he took off a brocade cloak on his body and threw it to the guards who gathered silently. Asked: "Chang'an came?"

Wu Lie also rushed to the mansion just a moment ago, he knelt down and saluted, and then said: "Master Yao is afraid that the emperor will not have enough funds, so he secretly ordered someone to send it again—" Ren Zhen waved his hand, and said: "Is there any letter to follow?" attached?"

"Yes, yes." As soon as Wu Lie took it out respectfully, Ren Zhen snatched it with his hands, and when he opened it, there were eight words: "Hit the snake seven inches, and lead it out of the hole." Ren Zhen read it countless times—— No more, it's been more than three months since he left the country in disguise, and he really didn't have a word to express his missing, just those two four-character mantras without beginning or end!

The emperor’s deflated ball slumped on the three-legged table in the middle——Murong Yong led troops in Hanzhong, and the terrain was so rugged that it was difficult for wild geese to travel across the country. Yao Song was in Chang’an, and he created the post-horse system by himself. Within seven days, the general's information can be reported to the whole country. How can he think that he will not have enough money to spend and don't know how to express condolences?Finally remembering that there was still business to do, he asked feebly, "I was a social butterfly for another day today, how did it turn out?"

Wu Lie automatically ignored the words that he didn't understand and didn't need to understand, and smiled wryly: "Wang Gong not only didn't accept the gift, he didn't even let in at the gate of the mansion, he took his servants to stop at the gate, and sent the general to wait for him back... "

Ren Zhen glanced at him: "The one who looked around at night and no one came to Wang's house to give gifts?" Seeing Wu Lie nodding, he just shook his head and smiled, and asked, "Where are the others?"

Wu Lie said: "Most of them declined politely, but Liu Laozhi accepted it with a smile."

Ren Zhen raised his eyebrows——Wu Lie traveled around for a day to win over the senior officials of Xie Xuan's faction in the Eastern Jin Dynasty for him. Wang Gong prided himself on being a celebrity of the Qing Dynasty, and he did not accept bribes, which was what he expected , but if you insist on driving people out of the mansion with great fanfare, I am afraid that there will be suspicions of taking the opportunity to invite names; Liu Laozhi's acceptance is a bit unexpected, after all, he is the No. The old subordinates of more than ten years will not rest assured about the separation of powers.

"Your Majesty, since Liu Lao is greedy for profit, why don't you take this opportunity to increase your bargaining chip and get him to support the alliance with Yan..."

Ren Zhen stroked the mustache on his lips, shook his head and said: "No, the ceremony will be stopped as soon as it is done, and it will be reserved for future use. Let's focus on Wang Gong first this time."

The second monk Wu Liezhang was puzzled, since he knew that Wang Gong was a thorn, but he still insisted on it?Ren Zhen glanced at him with a half-smile: "Liu Laozhi is now stationed in Pengcheng, and the political affairs in Jiankang City are too far away for him to save him from the fire - besides, Xie Xuan has always firmly controlled the power of the Beifu Army. The old slippery man has the guts to accept the benefits when he sees the benefits, but he may not have the guts to really go against Xie Xuan's intentions at a critical juncture, investing in him will most likely go nowhere, in business, who will do a deal that is bound to lose?"

Wu Lie nodded sincerely, his eyes were full of question marks, he didn't understand at all.Ren Zhen patted his forehead helplessly, missing his lovers far away even more, he waved his hand and said: "In short, thoroughly investigate everyone related to Wang Gong, monitor the palace day and night - no matter what the cost, we must pry open the palace. Respect this gap." He knew that although Xie Xuan is not in Jiankang City now, someone must have rushed to Stone City to report in detail about Xiyan's envoy, and Xie Xuan remained silent on the surface, implying that the king in the capital thanked him. The family-dominated Eastern Jin ministers resisted—in short: non-violence, non-cooperation.Therefore, although Sima Yuanxian already has the willingness to cooperate, if he can't deal with the opposition in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Yuanxian can't open the way for him if he doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter eagles. Ask him to "lead the snake out of its hole".

Who is Xie Xuan's seven inches?Forget it, Sima Dezong, the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, can only be regarded as a decoration in the court, and it is still the kind that has failed the quality inspection-not to mention that he can't easily see him.I planned to start with Wang Shen'ai first, knowing that she was born in a famous family, rich in gold and jade, ordinary things are hard to see, and she loves calligraphy and painting, so I finally found a leftover work by Cao Buxing to match her liking. Who knows that the flattery was wrong, and he still lost money.The king and queen are like the Nine Heavens Xuannv, mortals can't easily see each other, so they can only turn to Wang Gong - at least he doesn't hide in the deep palace, it is always easier to deal with him.

It should be noted that if this deadlock cannot be broken and Xie Xuan is forced to take the initiative to sit at the negotiating table and discuss the terms of cooperation with him face to face, then it will be a waste of time for the group to stay in Jiankang for as long as they want.

Wu Lie wondered: "But Wang Gong is famous for being upright and honest, we...we can't use force?"

"Wang Gong is also human, and he is still a man who wants to save face and suffer. Does he have no weaknesses?" Ren Zhen took a sip of tea and closed it gently, "Even if he is a true Taoist, it doesn't mean that the people around him Seven aunts and eight aunts are all."

After a few days, Ren Zhen did collect some insider information. After thinking about it, he didn't attack immediately. Instead, he went out and boarded the car to Xilu to find Sima Yuanxian's trusted secretary Cheng Wang Guobao. Hugged by the shoulders, they wanted to go to Yongzhen Temple, the imperial Taoist temple. The two met each other, and Ren Zhen smiled and said, "Master Wang, is he going to have a ritual ceremony today or to listen to scriptures?"

Wang Guobao took a lot of benefits from Yan envoys, so he naturally smiled at Ren Zhen, invited him to ride with him, and said: "On the first day of next month, the palace will come to Yongzhen Temple to make a safe offering. Once a year, Pray to bless the people, the emperor and empress will leave the palace at that time, and the king will let me preside over it, so as to avoid business trips."

Ren Zhen knew that Sima Yuanxian never succumbed to Buddhism, and he could be called a rare atheist in this era.Coupled with the fact that Wang Shenai had publicly offended him a few days ago, he was naturally lazy to take care of this mundane matter and pushed it to his confidant Wang Guobao to do it.When Ren Zhen heard this, his heart moved: "Why is it so rare for the empress to leave the palace?"

Wang Guobao said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm only sincere about this matter." After a pause, he added: "Nowadays, the folks are more concerned about the meaning of Buddhism and interpretation, but the children of our family still worship the righteous way of the heavenly master. Among them, the empress He is the most devout and pious compared with the former head of the country, and never falls behind when he encounters great merits in Dafa events."

No wonder Cao Buxing's "Picture of Bodhi Dharma" was presented that day, and Wang Shen didn't want to read it, so he passed it on to Gu Kaizhi.Of course, Ren Zhen knows how devout the general public in this era would be if they were obsessed with beliefs. For example, he himself did not believe in supernatural powers and gods. In order to win over people's hearts and stabilize his rule, he also appointed Zhang Jia, the head teacher of the Heavenly Master Tao, as the national teacher , Welcome to Huashan Qingxiu.Because of this, some thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind, and he was immediately interrupted by Wang Guobao, who wanted to warmly invite him to visit Yongzhen Temple with him. This move was in Ren Zhen's favor, and he readily agreed.

Although Yongzhen Temple is a royal Taoist temple, it stands outside the Taicheng Imperial Palace in Xuanwu Hubei Province. It is quite quiet. As soon as Wang Guobao drove to the mountain gate, there was an old Taoist priest holding incense and cloak , leading the Taoist priests to greet him by the roadside.After the two got out of the car, Ren Zhen was a little stunned by the splendid and magnificent Guanghan Tiangong in front of him, like the misty Guanghan Tiangong: "It is said that there are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties. I can't see how many buildings can compare to this one!" He said. In his previous life, he had traveled all over the famous mountains, Qingcheng, Longhu and other Taoist ancestral homes were not on such a scale, so why not shock him.

Wang Guobao laughed, only saying that Ren Zhen was a close person who had never been to Jiangnan: "I have never heard people say that there are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty. This Yongzhen Temple is a royal Taoist temple, and it is supported by the state. How can folk temples be allowed?" on a par with it.” (Note 1)

Ren Zhen smiled and kept his mouth shut, followed Wang Guobao and others into the temple, and saw him commanding the Taoist priests to clear the venue and prepare for rituals and other affairs. Everyone feared that he was Sima Yuanxian's man, so they naturally scrambled to please him.

Ren Zhen gently tugged Wang Guobao's sleeve in a place where no one was around, pointed to several cars in the courtyard and said, "Aren't you going to clear the field? Which house is this car from?" The self who can come here It wasn't a trafficker, Wang Guobao had already recognized that it was the carriage in Wang Gong's mansion of Zhongshuling, and his heart was really that the road was narrow for enemies, so when he called the spectator to ask, he knew that it was not Wang Gong, but his eldest son Wang Dan who came. , there are ten days every month where the forum is held to discuss and study the science of prophecy.

Ren Zhen said softly: "If you want to, you can practice Taoism at home. What are you doing out of the city?"

As soon as Wang Guobao heard that it was reasonable, he pretended to be normal and asked the temple master to bring the registered book of pilgrims who came and went. After checking it, his heart moved, and he immediately ordered his cronies and subordinates to visit in private, while he sat in the quiet room of the Taoist temple to drink tea and so on. with.Within an hour, the news came indeed, Wang Guobao clapped his hands overjoyed after hearing this, and said viciously: "Wang Gong also has today!" But it turned out that Wang Dan was discussing Taoism in the Taoist temple, and among all the people present at the meeting, there was one The famous female guest—is the wife of Yu Yao, the internal historian of Huai Ling, Pei family. In the middle, no one noticed for a while, and Wang Tan's face and shame were thrown away, but whoever came here, went in and out, and lived in the same way... Wang Guobao couldn't bear to talk to Ren Zhen about the secrets of Wang Gong and his son, Can't help but be proud: "Then Wang Gong still pretends to be noble and disdains me in every possible way. Doesn't his son take advantage of the opportunity to act recklessly? But Yu Yao has a good background and a weak temper, so he is so willing Be a tortoise bastard! Fortunately, the two families are family friends! If this matter is revealed, let’s see if the Wang family and his son will become a big laughing stock of Jiankang!"

Ren Zhen pursed his lips and smiled: "Then how does Lord Wang plan to take revenge?"

"Naturally report such scandals to our king!"

Ren Zhenyi waved his hand and said: "If there is no evidence for such a romantic story, even if it is spread out, it will be just speculation, not to mention that this matter is related to the two big families of Wang and Yu. His Highness may not like the people under him to use this to make trouble."

Wang Guobao was stunned, and then remembered that Sima Yuanxian had beat him for this in Stone City back then, implying that if he just wanted to kill Wang Xie's party members for a moment, he would not always stand up for him.At the moment, he didn't doubt that there was him, so he hurriedly asked the method, and Ren Zhen said: "The funeral in the palace is about to come, and since you are responsible for the security and defense here, you should issue an order in the name of Xilu to clear the venue and order everyone to avoid it early—— In a hurry, Wang Dan could only take a car with Pei's daughter to escape back to the city. At that time, you can use any excuses, say that you found a suspicious person in the temple and wanted to abscond, chase after him and search the car one by one. Pretends and prostitutes in disguise—under the watchful eyes of everyone, wouldn’t Wang’s father and son feel even more ashamed?”

Wang Guobao clapped his palms and praised: "Brother Ren is still thinking about the land, Wang Gong is a man of good looks and pretends to be noble, so let his son give him face and know what is the shame of the family!!"

Because of Ren Zhen's advice and advice, he let out a lot of anger in silence, Wang Guobao unconsciously called him brother and brother, and the two have been in close contact since then, showing a more "friendly relationship", which is another story.

But Ren Zhen sneered secretly in his heart: I'm afraid you will still miss the move after all - he has already asked Wu Lie to secretly guard the only way outside the Taoist temple, and when Wang Dan drove out, he would ram into him with an excuse, When people were in chaos, they hid the two in their own carriage and sent them back to Wang's house, and handed them over to Wang Gong face to face.On the one hand, this is to cover up for the two before Wang Guobao, and on the other hand, it is to hold this handle in his own hands.In the end, Wu Lie came forward to present a huge sum of money in the name of compensation for visiting a sick person—in any case, they crashed the carriage, and compensation for the loss is justified.Under such coercion and show of favor, Wang Gong is not stupid, no matter how lofty he is, he can only accept bribes, swallow his anger and stand by their side.

In this way, Wang Gong's defection can be confirmed, so his plan to lure the snake out of the cave has already been half successful.

And the other half will fall on the owner of Wang Guobao.

Note 1: Although Buddhism had spread eastward during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, judging from the way of transmission, it was only popular in the Jiangbei and Central Plains at that time, and the real prosperity of Buddhism in the lower reaches of the Jiangnan should be Xiao Xiao who replaced Liu Song after the official start of the Southern Dynasty. beam era
