Chen Ben treacherous

Chapter 48 Conspiracy

Gu Pengfei didn't doubt it, and left with the eunuch.

The station of the Dragon Guards was behind the palace. Gu Pengfei followed the eunuch, and seeing that the eunuch did not enter the palace through the south gate, he felt a little surprised, and asked, "This father-in-law, didn't you say that your majesty summoned you?"

The eunuch smiled slightly: "It's the official who wants to ask the general about something, but he didn't say to summon him. General, please come with me!"

The eunuch led Gu Pengfei through the imperial city and came to the imperial street in front of the imperial city.

Since the officials of the court and the central government worked in the imperial city and important institutions were set up here, the imperial streets near the imperial city were all shops for shopping and food, so that officials could have lunch at noon.The eunuch stopped in front of a shop and said to Gu Pengfei: "General Gu, you can buy something to eat!"

Gu Pengfei hasn't touched a drop of water or eaten half a grain of rice since night, but he doesn't feel hungry at all, and he doesn't have the slightest intention to eat. He shook his head and said: "The general is not hungry, please lead the way!" He didn't even bother to ask what the emperor asked him.

But at this moment, Gu Pengfei saw a man wearing ocher red official robe walking up the street, it was none other than Jia She.Jia She's house was just a few steps away from the imperial palace, and he didn't need to ride a horse. He went back to sleep yesterday, woke up this morning, and was about to go to court, and he took Linghu Chunshui with him on the road, but unexpectedly Met Gu Pengfei on the road.

Jia She stopped at his feet, and Gu Pengfei faced him across the street.The number of pedestrians on Yujie gradually increased, and the line of sight of the two was cut off after a while.

Linghu Chunshui also saw Gu Pengfei, he looked back at Jia She's situation, and wanted to ask what happened to the two of them yesterday, but in the end he just patted Jia She on the shoulder: " Mr. Jia, today is the Fifth Court, don't be late!"

Jia She bit his lip, turned his head away, and came to the red lacquered fork, Linghu Chunshui could no longer go inside.

Jia She straightened his clothes and entered the palace through the main entrance. He happened to meet Zhao De who was also entering the palace at this moment, and the two walked side by side.

Zhao De sneered and said, "Jia Shumi seems to be in a good mood today!"

Jia She wanted to tear Zhao De to pieces, but there were many colleagues around him, and he was at the palace gate. Facing Zhao De's provocation, he just smiled: "Your Highness seems to be in a state of desperation. I really worry about His Highness!"

Zhao Deyi smiled and said, "Then Xiao Wang wishes Lord Jia to be in such a good mood every day!"

Jia She flicked his sleeves, ignored Zhao De, and stepped into Linde Hall, which was used by the court.Except for holidays, the emperor of the Southern Dynasties sat in the palace to watch the court every day, and usually stayed behind to perform affairs. There was a grand court meeting every five days, and all officials gathered, but they couldn't say anything, but everyone bowed to the emperor to say hello That's all.

Jia She stood up according to the shift. He was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Standing in front of him was the envoy of the Privy Council and the Imperial College Jijiu Ma Tianyi. Behind him were the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Jia She glanced around, and saw the emperor's imperial guard standing on the four walls of the hall, holding sacrificial vessels, Wen Shan, Hu Yeqin, Zhao Jingzhong and Tu Wan were all among them, Zuo Chancellor Ding Dayou stood at the front, beside him It was Wu Qian, the deputy prime minister, and all the officials above the fifth rank in the capital came, but Gu Pengfei was the only one who did not see him.

Jia She was a little puzzled, he clearly saw Gu Pengfei, why didn't he come?

Not long after everyone stood there, Emperor Zhao Liming arrived. The five-day court meeting was purely a formality, and important confidential matters would not be discussed here. Zhao Liming obviously had no intention of going to court. After bowing and saluting to the emperor, everyone hurriedly dispersed.

When Jia She and Wen Shan came to the Ministry of Rites, they saw Hao Jing, the envoy of Lie Dagger Tu, was already waiting there. Hao Jing had met the emperor yesterday, and today he came here specially to discuss the details of the peace talks.

When Hao Jing saw Jia She, he laughed and said, "Secretary Jia, we meet again!"

Jia She was looking down at the specific content of the peace talks that Wen Shan had sorted out, and said with a nervous head, "Why, is Lie Dagger Tu dead?"

Hao Jing was not angry, but said: "The Fourth Prince has led the army to Kaiping Mansion!"

Jia She put down the peace agreement for the time being, knocked on the table, and said to Hao Jing: "I heard that his situation is not very good. His younger brother Harig has already proclaimed sweat in the grassland, and he has also received the support of five princes! What is the peace agreement? I'm afraid it's not very reliable!"

Hao Jing stroked his beard and said: "Before I left, the Fourth Prince was preparing for the sweating ceremony. Calculating the time, it should be within two days!"

Wen Shan was a little surprised: "There are two great khans in Tatar? This has never happened before!"

Hao Jingdao: "There is only one real khan! Before the official left, the fourth prince asked the official repeatedly, saying that the official must convey the prince's sincerity for peace talks with the Tianshui Dynasty!"

Jia She laughed and said, "Sincerity is not just in words, but in money. Is he ready for the money? When will it be delivered?"

Hao Jingdao: "The lower officials came here just for this purpose. The cliff vowed that day, and several other items have been fulfilled, but the negotiation and payment may have to be delayed for some time!"

Jia She's expression changed suddenly, and he said angrily, "What does Lie Dagger mean?"

Hao Jing smiled and said: "Jia Shumi is angry, the situation of the fourth prince is not optimistic. The prince's army is only about 20, and there were many casualties in the battle of Ezhou. But Harig has a full 80 grassland cavalry..."

Jia She snorted, and said, "I know Lie Dagger Tu won't be playing for long, so how dare he say it like this?"

Hao Jing took a step forward, and whispered to Jia She: "The fourth prince has always regarded Jia Shumi as a friend, and specially sent officials here, bringing some gifts..."

Jia She interrupted Hao Jing, looked him up and down, and said: "Lie Dagger Tu is doing this again? Last time he made it up to me and I almost finished it. I don't care about his broken things. You go back and talk to Lie Dagger said, give the money quickly, if you don’t give the money, don’t talk about anything!”

Hao Jing looked at Jia She, hesitant to speak, Jia She had already waved his hands and ordered Hao Jing to be thrown out.

When there was no one in the small hall of the Ministry of Rites except Wen Shan, Jia She looked at Wen Shan and asked, "Brother Ruoshui, tell me, should I speak for Lie Dagger?"

Wen Shan thought for a while, and said: "Lie Dagger owns a large piece of land from Yanjing to Bianjing, but Harig is far away in the grassland. Both of them are ambitious, but one is strong and the other is weak. Two tigers are fighting against each other, it is difficult for the fierce dagger to destroy Harig, but it is easy for Harig to destroy the fierce dagger!"

Jia She nodded, and said, "You're right. Judging from the current situation, it will take at least five or six years for Lie Dagger to destroy Harig; if we stab Lie Dagger in the back, it may take a year sooner , as long as two years, Lie Dagger Tu can die!"

Wen Shan remained silent, and shook his head after a while: "Zhi Chuan, to be honest, I don't know how to choose. It is obviously impossible for the imperial court to send troops to reap the benefits of fishermen! Now no matter who annexes the two of them, the remaining That one is a great threat to me!"

Jia She frowned and said nothing, he was also a little entangled in this matter.And more importantly, recovering the peace agreement will cut off Zhao De's big fortune and allow him to die quickly; but if he can't recover, the road ahead will be difficult...

He thought about it for a while, and discussed with Wen Shan for a while, but in the end he couldn't make up his mind. Seeing that it was already noon, Jia She suddenly remembered something, and said to Wen Shan, "Ruoshui, I went to Zhao De's house as a guest yesterday. , according to what he said, it seems that he is going to take you under the knife, you have to be careful!"

Wen Shan smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of the shadow being crooked, what can he do to catch me?"

Jia She sighed, and recounted the incident of going to the mansion yesterday, naturally concealing some things that should not be said.

The two were talking, when they suddenly saw Li Wende approaching with a happy face, Jia She first asked, "General Li, what is the happy event?"

Li Wende rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Feng Niang is married!"

Jia She's heart tightened for no reason, and his first reaction was that Gu Pengfei actually continued, no wonder he didn't come today, how hungry is this guy?Haven't done it all night? !

But Wen Shan asked: "Who does Miss Li marry? Why didn't General Li say anything, at least treat us to a glass of wedding wine!"

Li Wende said: "Just received the imperial decree yesterday, Feng Niang was proclaimed into the palace and named a fifth-rank talented person!"

A thunder exploded on Jia She's head, and Wen Shan's face showed some distorted expression, but Li Wende was very happy, and said something about dreaming of a phoenix in his arms, and went happily.

After Li Wende left, Wen Shan said to Jia She: "Miss Li actually entered the palace... what a happy event!!"

Looking at Wen Shan's expression, Jia She felt a little suspicious in his heart: "Brother Ruoshui, could it be you?"

Wen Shan hurriedly waved his hands: "Zhi Chuan, where are you thinking!! Miss Li is a mother, how could I have any unreasonable thoughts?!"

Jia She took a look at Wen Shan and said with a smile, "It's just a joke!"

But he thought in his heart: I didn't say anything and you are so nervous, isn't it because your body was completely seen by other girls?A big man is seen as soon as he is seen, so he still wants to promise him with his body? ? !

Wen Shan said sternly: "Zhi Chuan, this kind of joke can't be said!!"

Jia She shrugged his shoulders. After talking for a long time, the two of them got a little hungry. They were about to go to the imperial street to get something to eat, but suddenly saw a little eunuch next to the emperor running over and said to Jia She: "Jia Shumi , Your Majesty please!"

Jia She said goodbye to Wen Shan, and followed the young eunuch into the Forbidden Palace.

The little eunuch led Jia She to the Flying Waterfall Pavilion in the palace and retreated. Jia She looked around and saw that the Flying Waterfall Pavilion was being built next to a rockery. The soil was dug to form a pool, and the rocks were piled up to form a mountain. The clear stream flows slowly, and the flowers and plants around the pavilion are strange. Even in the cold early spring, there are late withered wintersweet and new spring flowers.

The Feipu Pavilion is very spacious, and there is a table of banquets in the main hall, full of delicacies and delicacies. The emperor Zhao Liming took Li Fengniang to sit on the seat. When he saw Jia She coming, he bowed his head and said something to Li Fengniang. Li Fengniang said to Jia She. After a blessing, he turned and left.

When there was no one around, Zhao Liming asked: "Xiao She, I heard that you met the envoy of Lie Dagger Tu today. How is the matter with Yin Zi?"

Jia She also wanted to know Zhao Liming's attitude towards the Tatar Kingdom, so he thought for a while and said, "Hao Jing, the envoy of the Tatars, said that 20 taels is too huge, and it will be difficult to get it together at once. I dare not make a decision on my own. I don't know what your majesty wants." how?"

Zhao Liming sighed, stood up, walked outside the pavilion, looked at the waterfall, and said: "When I first came to the throne, I was so young, I thought I could do things that my predecessors couldn't do. So he sent troops to Heluo, trying to take back the old land, but ended up being defeated!"

This time sending troops to the Northern Expedition was Zhao Liming's taboo, no one in the court dared to mention it face to face, Jia She could only listen silently.

Zhao Liming continued: "Negotiating peace is our national policy. The treasury is empty and the army is weak. If you can not go to war, it is better not to go to war! Besides, I am getting old, and I don't want to make ups and downs. I don't feel at ease! Lie Dagger Figure You don’t have to press too hard according to what the emissary said. If you don’t pay for the peace, the peace buyers from the Jianghuai generation can also accept it.”

Jia She muttered in his heart: Half of the collection went to Zhao De's pocket...

When he was thinking this way, he accidentally saw a gorgeous beauty passing by, Jia She pointed to the beauty and asked, "Official, who is that?"

Zhao Liming glanced at it, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "Xiao She, you don't even recognize Concubine Yan Gui!"

Concubine Yan Gui was also looking towards the attic at the moment, she smiled at Zhao Liming, and walked away again.

Concubine Yan Gui walked Shi Shiran all the way to her palace. At this moment at noon, she was also a little spring sleepy, and was about to lie on the bed for a while, just as soon as she got into bed, suddenly a hand stretched out from the tent, and hugged her waist behind her back .

Concubine Yan Gui's heart was beating wildly, but her face was expressionless, she said to the maid in the distance: "You all go down, you don't need to wait on me anymore!"

The maids filed out, and Concubine Yan Guifei turned her head and scolded: "Damn it! You want to kill me?!"

As she spoke, she scraped at the man's face.

The man on the bed hugged Concubine Yan Gui into his arms, stretched his big hands into Concubine Yan Gui's clothes, and rubbed them wantonly: "Father Huang found a new beauty yesterday, I'm afraid you will be dry for a long time! My lord, I It's just that I'm worried about your loneliness, so I came here to water the fields!"

Concubine Yan Gui was burned with desire by Zhao De's hands, panting coquettishly, but she also complained: "That old man is so greedy all day long that he can't chew! What Li Fengniang just got here yesterday, she came here at noon today. If you want to be a brother-in-law, you are not ashamed at your age!"

Zhao De paused his hand and said, "Why, Father also found Jia She?"

Concubine Yan Gui said displeased: "When that Hu Meizi surnamed Jia was alive, she was so flirtatious! Now that my sister is dead, my brother is hooking up again! It's hard for us decent people!"

Zhao Dedao: "Jia She has changed his nature now, so he won't do this anymore! But you have to be careful about that Li Fengniang, I heard that she is a powerful character, don't fall into her hands!"

Concubine Yan Gui smiled proudly: "Fell into the hands of that little girl? She didn't know that I had given him eye drops in front of the official's house! Yesterday my people saw that little girl cheating on someone, so I pretended to be in the official's house." I slipped my mouth when I said it in front of me, and the official is very angry!"

Zhao De nodded Yan Guifei's nose and said with a smile: "Little whore, you are the one who cheated! Jia She can't stay, you must get rid of him!"

Concubine Yan Gui gave Zhao De a blank look, and said: "You are a majestic prince, can't you still kill a prostitute?"

Zhao De narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Since he defeated Lie Dagger in the Battle of Ezhou, the capital behind him has not been what it used to be. I saw what my father meant, that he was going to reuse him. I tried to coerce him yesterday, but But he was rescued by his men!"

Concubine Yan tilted her head to look at Zhao De: "Who do you want me to speak ill of for you? Li Wende?"

Zhao De shook his head slowly: "Li Wende is as stupid as a pig, and has no strength. When he was in Ezhou, Gu Pengfei, his chief general, was loyal to him and stood in front of him. If you want to get rid of Jia She, you must first get rid of Gu Pengfei!"

Concubine Yan Gui smiled and said: "Coincidentally, you should hurry up and write the secret note now, and refer to Gu Pengfei's copy, absolutely every reference is accurate! The officials will not take it to the court for discussion!"

Zhao De was a little surprised: "Could it be that you heard something?"

Concubine Yan Gui smiled and said: "There is no rumor, but yesterday my people ran into Li Fengniang's little girl having an affair with someone, and the other party was Gu Pengfei!! The officials are full of anger and can't find an excuse!"

Zhao De had always had a gloomy face, and then he gradually revealed a smile, and said with a sinister smile: "God helped me! If I want to catch this time, I have to catch a big one! I want everyone to know what it means to be against me. End!!"

Concubine Yan Gui touched Zhao De's root and said with a smile, "How do you thank me this time?"

Zhao De lifted Concubine Yan's skirt: "Isn't that old man unable to satisfy you? I'll come and fuck you, you little whore, for him!!"

The two rolled together, but Zhao Liming, who had been cuckolded, didn't know it, he was looking at the flowing water in the distance, and asked Jia She, "Xiao She, I heard that you had a marriage contract with Feng Niang before? "

Jia She was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down: "No, absolutely not! It was just to coax Lie Dagger to do it as a last resort, minister... minister..." He thought for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, and said, "The officials know about it. The minister likes men, so why would he go after Li Cairen?"

Zhao Liming helped Jia She up and said, "That's right, you can trust Feng Niang...Feng Niang can also trust her!"

Jia She breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he secretly went to see Zhao Liming, and cursed in his heart: "You still do so much at such a young age, can you handle it?"Sooner or later you will be green hated! !

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and Hao Jing once asked someone to come to the door. He wanted to contact Jia She in private, but Jia She blocked him back. He reminded Wen Shan to be careful of Zhao De, but he did not dare to relax at all. He took Linghu Chunshui with him every day, and met Zhao De several times, but Zhao De's attitude was very strange, and he felt that there was some conspiracy brewing behind his back.

It was not dark that day, but it began to rain. Linghu Chunshui came to welcome Jia She to court. Because the rain was too heavy, the two of them stood by the verandah and waited for the rain to stop. Jia She always felt that these days often Eyelids fluttered, he pondered for a long time, and finally asked: "Chunshui, have you seen Pengfei these days?"

Linghu Chunshui shook his head and said, "Didn't you tell him not to come to you again, and drive him away when he comes?"

Jia She didn't ask any more questions, but felt a little depressed in his heart: He really didn't come to see me anymore...
