[Comprehensive] Xian Wang

Chapter 39 King of Zhongzhou

Power and power are terrible things, and they often make a person lose his heart, such as the current Zhao Zhen.

When he used the power of the Pang family to deal with the Liu family, when he was thinking about how to weaken the power of the Pang family, Pang Tong died immediately.In fact, while he felt distressed, he was more happy.It is necessary to have a general who can lead troops to fight, but if he has the same surname as the most powerful minister in the court and the queen of the court, it will be more subtle.

At that moment, Zhao Zhen even had a dark thought—fortunately he died, otherwise how to deal with it would still be a problem in the future.This kind of thinking made Zhao Zhen flustered, because this kind of thinking just proved his low self-esteem.

So, after he knew that Pang Feiyan was framed, he still chose to punish Pang Feiyan a little. He didn't know if it was for his ridiculous self-esteem or something else.

If Pang Tong is really dead, it's okay for Zhao Zhen to make such a fuss, but that person has changed his identity, still a superior one, and he knows what he did.

Wang Ye now has a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhao Zhen, and has a faint thought that it would be better to usurp the throne.Of course, just thinking about it, if he usurped the throne at that time, the first person who would not spare him must be his father who was the grand master.

Now that he has become the Lord of Liao, he not only has the capital to attack the Song Dynasty, but also has the reasons to attack the Song Dynasty, but Wang Ye is unwilling to do so.Of course, not for Zhao Zhen, but for the people of Song Dynasty.Thinking about when he was the King of Zhongzhou, how many people were killed and how much blood was stained in order to protect the people of the Song Dynasty. Even if he is now the Lord of Liao, his heart is still toward the Song Dynasty. Of course, It belongs to the people of Song Dynasty.

Since he wanted to make good friends with Da Song, Wang Ye naturally did a decent job for the visit of the Da Song envoy.

Even Bai Yutang, the noble son who has always been picky, has to say that the living environment of the post house is very comfortable.

After the residence was settled, Master Xiao, who was in charge of entertaining, said to Gongsun Ce: "Master Gongsun is tired from the journey and rest for a while. If you need anything or if you feel uncomfortable living, just ask the servants outside. The king will hold a banquet in person in the evening. To entertain you all."

When Gongsun Ce became an official, his air was much stronger than in the past, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. The environment here is very good. Master Xiao has worked hard."

Gongsun Ce exchanged pleasantries with Lord Xiao for a while, and then Lord Xiao left.And Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, who were pretending to be guards, no longer stood solemnly, but lay down on the bed in a disorganized manner, making a fuss.

Only Gongsun Ce sat on the stool, thinking about the dinner tonight.

Time passed quickly, and when Lord Xiao came to pick up Gongsun Ce and the others for the dinner, the moon had already appeared in the sky.The night in Daliao was not as warm as that in Daliao, and it was even a bit chilly, which made Gongsun Ce, who was always afraid of the cold, shiver a little.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both had inner body protection, so naturally they didn't notice this small detail, but Master Xiao clapped his hands, and a palace lady brought over a fox fur cloak after a while.

Then, under Gongsun Ce's puzzled eyes, Master Xiao smiled and said, "Your Majesty ordered you to say that Mr. Gongsun is afraid of the cold, so he specially prepared this fox fur cloak to warm you up."

Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, and instead of refusing, he thanked him and put it on.I thought that Shen Liang was quite careful and remembered these small details... But Luzhou is always warm, how did Shen Liang know?

On the contrary, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang kept winking, always feeling that this matter was a little subtle, subtle.

Gongsun Ce didn't struggle for too long, because Mr. Xiao kept pulling him to tell him about the customs of Daliao. Mr. Xiao's words were so contagious that even Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang listened with gusto.After a while, we arrived at the banquet hall. The cold outside was gone, but there was a warm feeling inside.

Before the Lord of Liao appeared, Gongsun Ce and Bai Yutang were arranged above the guest chairmen. The three sat at the same table.The other guards stood behind the three of them, and they didn't look like they were on guard, they just looked very disciplined.

The other seats were also occupied by some officials wearing the official uniforms of the Liao Kingdom. Gongsun Ce, who was familiar with the customs and customs of various places, could easily see that these people were all high officials of the Liao Kingdom.

After a while, accompanied by a father-in-law: "The king is here!" After that, the so-called ministers all stood up, saluted the belated Lord of Liao, and called, Long live the king.

Wang Ye nodded to the ministers, and said boldly, "You don't need to be polite, just sit down."

At this time, Gongsun Ce looked straight at Liao Lord, and his intuition was clamoring at this time, telling him that the person in front of him was not Shen Liang, but Pang Tong.

The other party's steps, voice, movements, and even micro-expressions are so familiar that he wants to cry.

In Wang Ye's eyes, Gongsun Ce's eye circles were red, as if he was frightened but couldn't believe it and stood there in a daze.From the corner of the eye, he saw the white fox fur beside Gongsun Ce, which made Wang Ye feel better suddenly, and said with a smile, "It's been a year since I saw my old friend... Gongsun Gongzi, how are you doing recently?"

Zhan Zhao gently tugged on Gongsun Ce's sleeve. He knew that Lord Liao looked the same as King Zhongzhou, and he thought that Big Brother Gongsun had prepared psychological comfort. Unexpectedly, seeing that His face was still frozen in place.

Bai Yutang on the side also sighed and asked what love is in the world, then glanced at the anxious Zhan Zhao, and sighed again, it really is what love is.

After Gongsun Ce eased from that stunned state, there was a surge of anger in his heart that he didn't know where to vent. The other party's half-smile expression made Gongsun Ce feel that the other party was laughing at his stupidity.

Trying hard to suppress the anger welling up in his heart, he pretended to be very calm and said: "Lord Liao is right, it is true that things are different and people are different. Back then you were my elder brother Shen and Bao Zheng, but now you are Daliao's. Your Majesty."

Inexplicably, Wang Ye felt that the words "Brother Shen" were a bit harsh, as if the other party hadn't discovered his true identity at all... Although Wang Ye himself didn't intend to confess his true identity to Gongsun Ce, it would be a good thing not to be discovered, But everything was going according to the best direction, but he was uncomfortable, so he forgot what he wanted to say: "Brother Shen... I never thought that the young master would call me Brother Shen, I am so relieved. ... I heard that Gongsun Gongzi has been named the number one talented person in the Song Dynasty by Zhao Zhen, and it is said that Gongsun Gongzi knows astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom.

I don’t know if that sentence is true or not, and it has already brought a trace of provocation. If it was Gongsun Ce in the past, he would definitely be angry if his ability was doubted, and he would even say more provocative words, but at this time, Gongsun Ce just smiled slightly: " There is no limit to learning, there are people outside the world, there are others, and I am not a frog at the bottom of a well, even if I am granted the royal seal by the emperor, I would never dare to call myself this."

"Gongsun Gongzi is really humble..." Wang Ye felt very uncomfortable when he said the words of praise. Now not only is he working hard for Zhao Zhen, but he also uses the words "My Official" as his self-proclaimed name.But Wang Ye also knew that it was difficult to express this feeling now, so he decided to vent his anger in a different way: "However, since it was conferred by Emperor Song, it proves that the young master has real talents and real learning. The lonely third brother Yeluwen is talented. I left a question, young master, would you like to solve it?"

Hearing the words Yeluwencai made Gongsun Ce, who was trying to pretend to be calm, his eyes flashed, and then calm again: "Please say."

Wang Ye kept staring at Gongsun Ce, and naturally noticed the flicker at that moment. He said even more maliciously: "This question is simple and easy to say, but difficult to say. The simple thing is for you to write poetry, but it is rare for you to write a poem." Several key words must be used in this poem." After speaking, Wang Ye paused, with a malicious smile on his face: "Bamboo, zither, sword, wine."

These four words struck Gongsun Ce's heart word by word, reminding him of the happy time the two had spent together in the bamboo forest of the Zhongzhou Prince's Mansion.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Gongsun Ce in puzzlement, as if they didn't understand why the simple four words made their cold and arrogant brother Gongsun show an expression of wanting to cry.

If the meeting just now was the clamor of intuition, now it is the fact that proves it.

Gongsun Ce's mind was in a mess. He didn't understand how the loyal and patriotic Zhongzhou General Wang Feixing became the leader of the Liao Kingdom?Reminiscent of his concern when he saw 'Shen Liang', the execution of Shen Liang, and the unclear lawsuit between Yelu Liangcai and Zhao Jue, Gongsun Ce felt that the line that had been unclear all along seemed to be We can finally connect together.Looking at the face in front of him that he had missed for a long time, Gongsun Ce no longer had the kind of longing in his heart, but a feeling of being so cold that he couldn't breathe.

So, when he was in Luzhou, did he start to plan this matter?

Could it be that even a great hero who defends his home and country, the man he worships like an idol, can't escape the temptation of power?

Seeing Gongsun Ce's silence for a long time, Wang Ye knew that Gongsun Ce might have already made some guesses, and it could even be said that he had already guessed his identity.But Wang Ye didn't feel worried. Instead, he was in a good mood and added to the fire: "In ancient times, Cao Zhi wrote a poem in seven steps. If you don't belong to Gongsun Gongzi, you can also write a poem in seven steps?"

Gongsun Ce recovered after Wang Ye's words, and then he found that he had been stunned countless times today, and he was really sorry for his status as a peace negotiator.He pinched himself a little annoyed, and said with a smile: "If I can do what you want, can you promise me something?"

Without even thinking about it, Wang Ye agreed without hesitation: "Okay."

When the ministers saw that their king was so happy, they hurriedly howled: "Your Majesty, think twice!"

Wang Ye stopped the minister's wailing with some displeasure, and comforted him: "I believe that Mr. Gongsun will not make such rude requests for Daliao to surrender to Song Dynasty or to cede land. As for other small things, I am also happy. Promise Young Master, of course, as long as Young Master can do it."

Rather than appeasing the minister, he was warning Gongsun Ce.Even if it is a promise, it is not something that can be mentioned casually.

"Okay." With that said, Gongsun Ce stood up, took the first step and walked to the middle of the main hall, and read: "Bamboo house, bamboo grove, pear blossoms are white, the general's sword dances and scholars are happy. After three rounds of wine and cotton, the night rain is cold In a dream. 1”

After the seven steps are completed, the poem is just finished.

Turning around at the last step, Gongsun Ce was facing Wang Ye who had become the Lord of Liao. He straightened his back and looked directly into the eyes of the emperor: "I don't know, is the king satisfied?"

The seven-character quatrains successfully brought Wang Ye's memory back to that night.That night where there seemed to be something ambiguous, but could not be seen clearly.

Wang Ye chuckled lightly, and praised: "As expected of being the number one talented scholar in the Song Dynasty, I lost this bet alone. What do you want, my lord?"

But Gongsun Ce didn't show any complacency, he just took a step forward and said very calmly: "That day when the Song and Liao battles took place, the bones of King Pang Tong of Zhongzhou, the leader of the Great Song Dynasty, were never found. There are rumors that he was taken away by the Daliao. I don't know. , Your Majesty is willing to return the bones of the King of Zhongzhou."

Wang Ye frowned, he knew that Gongsun Ce had seen his true identity.However, the meaning of Gongsun Ce's words was somewhat unclear, so he could only say ambiguously: "This king can't agree to this request, but it's not so much that I can't, it's impossible to say that I can't agree to you. Because, The bones of the king of Zhongzhou are not in Daliao. However, since there are no bones of the king of Zhongzhou in Song Dynasty and Daliao, maybe the king of Zhongzhou is not dead..."

"No! The king of Zhongzhou is so filial, if he is alive, he will go home no matter what...so, he is already dead." Gongsun Ce's voice retorted from the excitement at the beginning to the sadness at the end. The gaffe at this time should obviously be He was embarrassed, but the way he looked at Wang Ye was so persistent.He seemed to be telling him, no matter if you are Yelu Liangcai or Shen Liang or whoever... King Pang Tong of Zhongzhou died long ago, on the battlefield, and also in the heart of his Gongsun Ce.

The two looked at each other, but for the first time Wang Ye felt a sense of embarrassment that was seen through.

What a perfect situation that was back then. He wanted to get rid of this strange reincarnation, but he didn't want to lose his life, and he didn't want the Pang family to bear the name of rebellion, and he didn't want his father Pang Taishi to be sad, and he didn't want to let Gongsun Ce Friends who think he is good think he is a traitor.So far, all Song people deeply remember the name of King Pangtong of Zhongzhou, and remember that he is a role model for everyone in the Song Dynasty, and he is a hero who fought and died for the Song Dynasty.

The reputation was preserved, the common people were preserved, and the goal was accomplished.

He obviously has never regretted it so far, but he is ashamed to be looked at by Gongsun Ce's eyes.
