Chen Ben treacherous

Jia She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and knocked on the back door of Pu'an Palace.

A moment later, the closed back door squeaked, a gap was opened, and a head protruded from the inside, it was a rough servant of Zhao Qi's mansion.

The servant looked Jia She up and down, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Jia She said: "I'm an old man of King Pu'an, come and look for him!"

The servant frowned: "My lord doesn't see guests!"

Jia She smiled, lowered the brim of his hat on purpose, and said, "Go and tell the lord that a year ago, someone accidentally damaged his cricket, and now he caught a good one, come and return it to him! He Definitely meet me!"

The servant was skeptical and closed the door. After a while, the door opened again and brought Jia She into the mansion.

When Jia She entered the mansion, he found that the mansion hadn't changed much, it was the same as what he had seen before.

The servant led Jia She past the martial arts arena, walked through the corridor, and led him to a rather simple side room.

Jia She was a little strange and asked, "Where is Your Highness?"

The servant said: "My lord is not at the mansion, I went to inform the wangfei, and the wangfei said that she didn't know there was such an old man, so I asked this official to rest here and let him know immediately when he comes back!"

Jia She nodded, and didn't care about it. When he left, he remembered that Zhao Qi said that he was going to get married, but he didn't expect that when he came back this time, all the affairs in the mansion had been managed by the concubine.

He was sitting in front of the tables, his stomach was growling with hunger, and the servants brought a plate of steamed buns and a pot of water. Jia She knew that Zhao Qi didn't like extravagance, he didn't pay much attention to his food, and he didn't care about a dignified prince. He only gave himself steamed buns and water. He ate two steamed buns and drank all the water. Tiredness surged up. There was no quilt in the room, so he fell to the ground to sleep.

Zhao Qi was in the palace's meeting hall, Zhao Liming was already seriously ill, he couldn't even walk, and it was even more difficult to manage the government affairs, Zhao Qi and Zhao Buyu were here to put on a show these days.

Ding Dayou sat down and said, "The Tatar army is approaching the border. It is all because Jia She broke his promise and attacked the Tatars. Jia She's army is not the opponent of the Tatar army at all, so we should send them to Lieqiantu tent." It's better to be a hostage!"

Wen Shan didn't give in, and asked instead: "Jia Shaofu defeated the Tatar army several times. He has contributed to the country and has resourcefulness. Lie Dagger also felt that he was a threat, so he asked Jia Shechao for it. How can he be a relative?" Pain, the enemy is quick?"

Ma Tianyi interjected: "Leaving aside Jia Shaofu's merits and demerits, the current situation is in constant turmoil. If there is another military incident, the imperial court will be unable to make ends meet! This is just a strategy of entitlement!"

Yu Shi Zhongcheng said: "Jia Shaofu has made great achievements in Xichuan, and the popularity is very high. I am afraid that doing so will cause commotion!"

Ding Dayou looked at Li Xianzhi who was returning to Beijing to report on his duties, and said, "What do you think, Mr. Li?"

Li Xianzhi said: "Lie Dagger Tu's army, this time they are all ordinary people from Jiangbei called together, if they want to fight, they may not be able to get cheap, but the lower officials think that Lie Dagger Tu's purpose this time is not Jia Shaofu! Jia Shaofu Fu once stayed in Huainan for a year, and had acquaintance with Jia She several times. It's a pity that Jia She didn't know who he was at that time... I heard that he is still in Xichuan now, so Wang and his son might not let him go. people!"

Ding Dayou snorted, and said: "The imperial court has issued an order to allow the Wang family and his son to come to Beijing to receive rewards, but they have not come for a long time. They may not have any good intentions! If there is really a change, Lie Dagger Tu may not be able to deal with it!"

Several people argued endlessly, and Zhao Buyu occasionally said: "Of course Sheshe is coming back! Jia She hasn't seen him for a long time! What else is there to argue about?"

Zhao Qi has been sitting on the side, did not speak.

When several people were arguing endlessly, suddenly a servant came in from outside and whispered something in Zhao Qi's ear, Zhao Qi almost jumped up.

The few people who were discussing looked at Zhao Qi with surprise on their faces.

Zhao Qichao laughed and said to everyone: "I still have some things to do, let's go first, and Ding Xiangguo can handle Jia Shaofu's affairs as he sees!"

Ding Dayou sized Zhao Qi up with his eyes, and asked, "This is a major event for the country. Does King Pu'an have anything more important than this?"

Zhao Qi said with a smile: "A servant caught a big cricket for Jia She. Anyway, you have discussed for so many days, but you haven't reached a conclusion yet. Jia She will go back and have a look at that thing first, and come back tomorrow!"

An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Ding Dayou's mouth, he nodded and did not speak again.

It wasn't until Zhao Qi left that Ding Dayou said: "King Pu'an is young after all, and state affairs are very boring, and some people can't sit still!"

Several people laughed in agreement, but Zhao Buyu was a little dissatisfied: "He is also surnamed Zhao, and this world belongs to Jia She's Zhao family. It's too much for him to ignore it! Hmph, Jia She must Go and tell Father, let him be punished!"

Ding Dayou looked at Zhao Buyu thoughtfully, smiled, and did not answer.

Zhao Qi rushed all the way, almost rushing into his mansion, and asked as soon as he entered, "Where is that man?"

The servants rushed forward, bowed to Zhao Qi and replied: "My lord, that person is in the guest room! The princess has already gone to see it, and she said she doesn't know her, but she is afraid that some important person will delay the lord's important event." , so I ordered the younger one to go to the palace to ask..."

Zhao Qi started to walk towards the guest room, but was led by the servants to another room for the servants.

Zhao Qi was slightly surprised and didn't say much, he just waved his hand at the crowd, signaling the servants to retreat, and told them not to come in and disturb them without his own order, then he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door.

In the room, a man with dirty clothes and dusty face was lying on the ground sleeping soundly.His face was covered with a bamboo hat, so he couldn't see his face.

Zhao Qi stepped forward, and with slightly trembling hands, lifted the bamboo hat covering Jia She's face.

Under the bamboo hat, there was a rather thin face covered with dust, the original face could only be vaguely recognized, it was Jia She!

Zhao Qi laughed suddenly, no wonder he was treated as a poor distant relative in the countryside, it turned out that Jia She made him so embarrassed and humiliated!

He opened his mouth several times, wanting to wake Jia She up, but the words came to his mouth, but he swallowed them again.

Jia She slept very soundly, he must be very tired from the long journey.

Zhao Qi squatted beside Jia She, waiting for him to wake up.

After an unknown amount of time, Jia She slowly opened his eyes.

In the haze, I saw only a shadow dangling in front of me, and the last few shadows turned out to be a clear portrait.

Jia She was taken aback, and quickly jumped up from the ground: "Who are you?"

Zhao Qi smiled: "Zhi Chuan, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you don't recognize me?"

Only then did Jia She come to his senses, he looked at Zhao Qi, and looked him up and down.

The other party has changed a lot, the childish face in the past has disappeared completely, and his face has become more angular.His stature also grew taller, a full head taller than his own, and his complexion was not as pink as when he first saw it that day, but instead had a tinge of wheat color, which must be the result of long-term sun exposure.

This look is very different from what Jia She remembered. Even if you bump into it on the street, you may not be able to recognize it at first sight!

Seeing Jia She staring at him intently, Zhao Qi coughed, Jia She woke up startled, and hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty Jia She, I have seen Your Highness!"

Zhao Qi stretched out his hand to help Jia She up, and said with a smile, "Zhi Chuan, you have changed a lot!"

Jia She smiled and said, "Those who hid in the outer east and Tibet have suffered a lot, how can they not change?"

Zhao Qi then laughed, patted Jia She on the shoulder, and said, "Your Majesty has confiscated your home with excuses, and I'm still thinking about where you should settle if you come back!"

Jia She said: "I have no home to return to, so I can only come to His Highness to stay for a few days!"

Zhao Qi nodded, asked Jia She if he had eaten, and asked him about his itinerary this year.

Jia She briefly talked about it, but when he was about to talk about Xichuan, he hesitated.

Seeing that Jia She hesitated, Zhao Qi said, "Don't worry, I can trust you!"

Jia She didn't hesitate anymore, and confessed everything.Including Wang's father and son's conspiracy and training of the new army, they are all detailed.

Zhao Qi was silent, and after a while, he said: "If I knew you were in Xichuan, I would never have spoken to the officials and let Wang's father and son seize Jianmen!"

Jia She raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "When the officials saw the imperial decree that day, they knew that something big must have happened in the capital. His Highness was worried that the Wangs and his sons would not settle down, so the sect gave them a difficult task to do. So that they have no time to worry about other things?"

Zhao Qi smiled, nodded and said: "You're right, that's what I planned. It's no secret that the Wangs and their sons have been disobedient for a long time! It's just that Xichuan Road is far away, and it's very closed, and it's hard for the court to control it. Just ignore them! It’s just that I never imagined that they would be able to seize Jianmen! At the time, I was puzzled, but when I heard you were there, I suddenly realized it!”

Jia She said: "Seizing the northwest gate of Xichuan from the Tatars is not a bad thing, it is beneficial to the court, so when Wang and his son invited him, the officials did not refuse!"

Zhao Qi nodded, did not comment on Jia She's actions, and after some gossip, he suddenly asked, "Why are you the only one here? Where is Linghu Chunshui? When you left, I specifically told him to Him, let him protect your safety all the way!"

Jia She was a little embarrassed, he couldn't explain the reason to Zhao Qi in detail, so he could only vaguely say: "I had some conflicts with him, and he left in a fit of anger, and I don't know where he went!"

Zhao Qi looked at Jia She suspiciously, Jia She's face was a little hot, he was afraid that the other party would continue to ask questions, but fortunately Zhao Qi didn't ask too much about these things, and diverted the topic to other places.

After talking for a while, they discussed the matter of Lie Dagger asking Jia She to be a hostage.

Jia She didn't know the specific situation of Lie Dagger Tu, but only heard from Zhao Qi: "Although Lie Dagger Tu this time is claimed to be 60, in fact there are less than 20, and all of them are composed of civilians who have never held swords and guns. He has no fighting power, and it seems that he is not very urgent about asking for hostages! But I think he will not do something that wastes money! Although you are a threat to him, it is not just for you. It's time to go to war!"

Speaking of this, he smiled at Jia She again: "Zhi Chuan, don't worry too much, I'm not saying you're useless!"

Jia She also smiled: "I have a few catties and a few taels, of course I know. Actually, I was also thinking about this matter. At first I thought he was an excuse to invade our dynasty, but now it seems that it is not the case!"

Zhao Qi pondered for a moment, and then carefully asked about the fight between Jiashe and Lie Dagger in Ezhou two years ago, not even letting go of a single detail.

Jia She had told him once before, now he asked again, Jia She said again, and he said it in detail.

When Jia She talked about the situation of Lie Dagger Tu's oath on the cliff that day, Zhao Qi clapped his hands and said, "I know! He doesn't care about you!"

Jia She raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Qi, who was walking quickly in the room: "There are some things you don't know very well, the official's family is seriously ill now, and the imperial doctor said he won't survive this spring!"

It was not easy for Jia She to talk to Zhao Qi about such a sensitive matter of the royal family, so he just listened.

Zhao Qidao: "When the time comes, the new king will surely ascend the throne. Lie Dagger obviously wants to use this incident to test the attitude and character of the new king! If the new king is afraid of this messy team of civilians and sends you to the Tartar Tatar, that Lie Dagger Tu must rest assured that the Tianshui Dynasty is still cowardly and incompetent, and will fight Harig with all its strength! If the court refuses to let people go, it means declaring war. How dare Lie Dagger Tu fight on two fronts at this moment? Of course it is nothing , but I also understand that if the new king of my dynasty wants to be angry and strong, he will definitely be more vigilant, and maybe he will take the opportunity to go south to wipe out this new threat before Harrig is eradicated!"

Jia She nodded in agreement, and said, "Yes! I also had a faint feeling that something was wrong with this matter, but now that His Highness said it, it suddenly became clear!"

Zhao Qi smiled at Jia She, with a hint of complacency in his smile: "If that's the case, then you should stay with me for a while, and make plans when the situation in the court changes."

Jia She tilted his head to look at Zhao Qi, seeing the brilliance flashing across Zhao Qi's face, he also smiled and said, "Since Your Highness has intentions, why bother to cover up? It's spring now, how confident is Your Highness?"

Zhao Qi smiled but did not answer, Jia She turned sideways slightly and asked, "Is Your Highness still worried about some people in the court?"

Zhao Qi sighed: "They naturally like Jia She more now, but in the future, I'm afraid it will not be so easy for me to deal with them... You must have come back after such a long time, you must be tired, let's rest first!"

Zhao Qi ordered someone to tidy up a new room for Jia She to live in, and boiled water for him to take a bath. After Jia She was washed and fed, Zhao Qi stayed in Jia She's room and refused to leave.

Jia She was a little puzzled, and said, "Your Highness, do you have anything else to say to me?"
