I was a gentleman in ancient times

The monarch of the Yue Kingdom is already old, and Mrs. Zhuan Tai, the Queen Mother of the Qin Kingdom, is his sister.

A few years ago, Mrs. Zhuan Tai personally wrote a letter and sent it back to Yue State, asking him to choose a royal daughter to marry and marry in Qin State.Mrs. Zhuan Tai has been away from the Yue Kingdom for decades, and she can still think of her mother country. The Yue King is still very relieved.Immediately made a decision to settle the matter. If she can maintain the relationship with Qin, isn't she a royal daughter?In exchange for peace between the two countries is quite good.

This time, when they heard that the Qin State had sent envoys, everyone in the Yue State speculated about the reason.

But today, the King of Yue, who has not been in court for several months, convened a court meeting for an unprecedented time to discuss with his ministers the matter of Qin's envoys.The envoys sent by the state of Qin are already on their way, and they have to discuss a charter to see what the reception rules are.

"The Qin State sent envoys here this time, probably to congratulate the King, right?" A minister guessed.

The Emperor of Yue's Qianqiu birthday is coming soon, and the Qin State sent envoys here at this time. Apart from this reason, they can't think of anything else.

"This is not certain. After all, the new king of Qin has not shown much enthusiasm for Yue in the past few years. It is not so simple to send envoys here suddenly."

"Master Zhou is right." A minister echoed, "Although we sent the prince and daughter to marry, I heard that the King of Qin did not accept the harem, but instead gave him a marriage to Prince Xu. Will the King of Qin have any feelings for the married princess?" Are you dissatisfied? Shall we choose another princess to marry Qin?"

"Is there such a thing?" Yue Guojun frowned.

He is dissolute, hangs around the harem all day long, and seldom takes care of state affairs.Therefore, he has never heard of such a thing. In his opinion, being married to a prince and daughter is a bond to improve the relationship between countries.Now that she is married, her fate is irrelevant.If he didn't pay attention, the people below would naturally not bother him with these trivial matters.

"Your Majesty doesn't know about this? Could it be that someone deliberately concealed it?" Senior Doctor Qi Yuan glanced at Xu Man, the servant standing behind the King of Yue, and asked pointedly.

Seeing the puzzled expression of Yue Guojun, there was a handsome young servant standing behind him, and he hurried forward at this moment.Flattery whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, this matter is true. It's just that this matter is irrelevant, so the slaves did not mention it to His Majesty, so as not to worry His Majesty."

Hearing such an explanation, Lord Yue frowned.Xu Man is also thinking about himself, he is busy with things all day long, so there is really no need to know such trivial things.

Seeing this scene, Qi Yuan was furious. He already disliked Xu Man, a treacherous villain, so he just seized the opportunity and planned to explode. "Your Majesty, could it be that you have been deceived by the treacherous villains around you? Now the eunuchs control the inside and outside, if it goes on for a long time, the country will be ruined!"

Qi Yuan blew his beard and stared, hating that iron cannot be made into steel.This is a bit serious, he is not afraid of the wrath of the King of Yue, he is incompatible with Xu Man, a treacherous sycophant.

It's him, the brazen guy, besides flattering his superiors and bullying his subordinates, what other skills do he have?

A few days ago, he was still thinking about playing against his granddaughter, and blatantly said that he wanted his granddaughter to enter the palace to serve the king.When these words reached his ears, he almost vomited blood angrily. I really don't know who gave Xu Man the courage.If he dares to set his granddaughter's mind, this person must not be left behind.If Xu Man is not eliminated, the country will be in trouble.

Today, no matter what, Xu Man must have no good fruit to eat.

Xu Man's face turned blue when he heard these words, and his voice trembled because of his anger, "Your Majesty, although this servant is an eunuch, I don't know much about court affairs. But this servant serves the King wholeheartedly, trembling every day. I'm afraid I'll make a wrong step. Master Qi's words are clearly referring to slaves, aren't they? Your Majesty's slaves' heart is so bright, and you ask your majesty to be the master for your slaves."

Seeing the red eyes of the servants around him, Lord Yue couldn't help feeling distressed, and grabbed his slender hand and patted it gently to comfort him.Whispered in his ear: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, the widow knows your heart, after the next court, the widow will definitely reward you well."

Xu Man bit his lip, looked aggrieved, and said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, everyone can't see your slaves. The only way for your slaves to die is to apologize. However, it's not a pity for your slaves to die. I can't let you go. If your slaves are dead, who can take care of you?" Good king?"

As an eunuch and servant, in the eyes of these dignified courtiers, he is a treacherous villain serving the emperor with Israel, and he wished he could be cut into pieces.But he refused to let these hypocrites get what they wanted, and he wanted to fight against them. As long as the king listens to him, he will be able to deal with these people to the end.

When he said these words, Yue Guojun felt even more distressed, "Don't worry, the widow will protect you, and no one can hurt you at all."

These words made Xu Man burst into tears, he looked at Qi Yuan contemptuously, I want to see how you can bring me down.

In the eyes of the courtiers, the interaction between the two on the throne was simply invisible.

This also made a self-proclaimed gentleman like Qi Yuan even more angry. The King of Yue hadn't gone to court for a long time.Today, it is hard to be able to appear in the court, and to be blinded by this treacherous villain, which is tolerable or unbearable.Today, even at the risk of losing his official position and death, he must let the king recognize the true face of this person.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan disregarded the dissuasion of all the ministers, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, servant Xu deceived the king, shouldn't he give an explanation to the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty? There is a law in the ancestors, eunuchs are not allowed to participate in politics, and please ask the king to deal with traitors. Eliminate harm for the country."

This is to kill him, Xu Man sneered.Very good, the old man surnamed Qi, I, Xu Man, will remember that today's enmity will never end in the future.

Qi Yuan's aggressive appearance made Yue Guojun feel restless.If it weren't for Gu Ning that he was an old minister of the former king, he would have been impatient to see him long ago.

Lord Yue flicked his sleeves, "Qi Qing is serious, Aman is not the kind of person you said, so there is no need to mention this matter again."

Sure enough, court affairs are annoying, so he shouldn't go to court today.It's better to be in the harem, where there is Xu Man, the Xie Yuhua, and all kinds of beauties that Xu Man has found for him.Thinking of this, he became impatient, and signaled the palace man next to him to announce his retreat.

Before the palace man opened his mouth, Qi Yuan glared and said: "Your Majesty still intends to make peace with this person and protect this person? I'm afraid that the great cause of the Yue Kingdom will be destroyed by this person."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was in an uproar. Although they knew it in their hearts, no one dared to say it in public.Now there is a villain like Xu Man in power in the court, and there is a great king protecting him, he is rampant, and everyone in the court dares to be angry and dare not speak out.Master Qi is going to face off against the king today, I'm afraid it won't end well.

Sure enough, the King of Yue was furious, "Qi Yuan, you are cursing the widow, you are cursing my country of Yue, you are a treason, and your heart can be punished."

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty Qi is loyal and loyal, but his words of anger are just for a moment, please don't take it seriously." Those who had good friends with Qi Yuan pleaded for him one after another.

The King of Yue was very angry with Qi Yuan, and he made it difficult for him to step down.But after all, he is a survivor of the former king, and when someone begged for mercy, he was a little angry, and he planned to beat him up and let it go, don't talk nonsense relying on his status as a veteran.

However, at this moment, a voice sounded faintly behind him.

"Lord Qi, the king has always respected you as an old minister who was the first to court. It has not been easy all the way. I didn't expect you to have such a heart of disobedience. Could it be that Lord Qi wants to plot rebellion if you can say such rebellious words? It's hard to describe, it's really disappointing." Xu Man said slowly.

"Xu Man, you spout blood!" Qi Yuan shouted angrily.

Before Qi Yuan finished speaking, Yue Guojun added fuel to the fire that had been extinguished after listening to Xu Manzhi's words.Just now, the thought of just beating him was gone, and he shouted decisively: "Come on! Take Qi Yuan down for the widow!"

"Foolish lord, lord! Sooner or later, the Yue Kingdom will be destroyed by the hands of you, a foolish lord!" Qi Yuan smiled instead of anger. He had seen through it, and the entire Yue Kingdom was hopeless from top to bottom.

"Drag it out, drag it out, and put it in a prison to choose another day to be executed!"

Seeing that the guards took Qi Yuan down, it was useless to plead for mercy.Those who have good relations with Qi Yuan have sympathy, and they don't know when the knife hanging above their head will fall on their own head.

Even the senior doctor Qi Yuan can't turn the situation around, and Xu Man's power will probably become even stronger in the future.The court of the Yue Kingdom has become a place where traitors rule. What else can these people do besides being wise and safe?

Xu Man didn't expect that today would end like this, he almost wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, Qi Yuan killed himself, no wonder others.In this way, he saved himself from worrying about it. God really cared for him, and even God was helping him.

Sure enough, he was right to let the king go to court today.Otherwise, how could this old fellow Qi Yuan offend the king?Or even be killed?

Once Qi Yuan fell, Xu Man became even more unscrupulous, and there was no one in the entire Yue Kingdom who dared to fight against him.As for the others, it would be fine if he didn't bother them. Who would dare to fight him?

The position of Qi Yuan's senior doctor was vacated and replaced by his own people.At that time, his power in the court will become stronger and stronger, so why should he be afraid?It seems that I have to thank that person for helping him with his idea.

Today, the king of Liyue was very angry, and the original discussion about the Qin envoys also ended without a problem.After returning to the harem, he didn't even have the thought of looking at the beauties. It was Xu Man who went into battle in person and resorted to various tricks to make the King of Yue no longer feel depressed about Qi Yuan.

He knew that people from Qi Yuan's faction would definitely try their best to rescue them, and there was no other way except to write a letter.As long as I control this hurdle and don't let these things appear in front of the king, then these people will not be able to make any waves.

As soon as Qi Yuan died, he could feel completely relieved.He narrowed his eyes, looking at the Yue King lying beside him, there was a trace of disgust in his eyes, but it was fleeting, Taohua's eyes were calm and unwavering.

After the affairs in the palace settled down, Xu Man left the palace contentedly and returned to his mansion outside the palace.

The Xu Mansion was bestowed by the King, and it occupies a vast area. He has been deeply loved by the King these years.And he shared his worries and labors for the king, looking for all kinds of beauties to present, thus winning the favor of the king, and his position became more and more stable.

He was also gradually dissatisfied with the status quo. After the king gave him the mansion, he kept his followers, accepted bribes, and even intervened in the court to replace his own power.

It is also because of this that he is not uncommonly reviled by those courtiers and dignitaries, but what's the matter?When his power reaches the sky in one step, a lot of it is flattery, and this is what he enjoys.

After entering the door, a person greeted him, "The master is back? How is the matter?"

Xu Man was in a good mood, and he was even more happy to see this person.It was this person who said that if he persuaded the king to go to the court, he would be able to have a surprise. It seems that this surprise is really a great surprise.

This man defected to him a few days ago, named Ji Kai.It is said that the ancestors were businessmen, but when they were young, they did not think about making progress and idled about, which completely ruined their ancestral business.Fortunately, I don't know where I got the technique of divination. The divination is quite accurate, and it's this ability that Xu Man took a fancy to and used him as a doorman.

Yesterday he came to look for Xu Man, mysteriously asked him to persuade the king to go to court today, saying that it would be of great benefit to him, and there was an unexpected joy.No, it's really wonderful that the enemy Qi Yuan angered the king, and he reaped the benefits.

"You're fine! I'm happy today, and everyone in the house will be rewarded. As for you, the reward will be doubled! Hahaha!" Xu Man waved his hand and said happily.

"Thank you, Master, for the reward. In this way, the master has fulfilled his wish?" Ji Kai could not help but smile, and complimented him.

"That's right." Xu Man recounted today's court affairs.

Ji Kai heard the words, congratulated again and again: "Congratulations master, congratulations master."

Xu Man was very satisfied, "If it wasn't for your suggestion, how could I have such an unexpected joy. However, now that the doctor's position is vacant, it is natural to replace it with ours. Look, is there anyone who is suitable? "

"Yes, I will ask the gods for divination for my master after I go back. Naturally, it is better to find someone who is beneficial to my master. It's just..." Ji Kai seemed troubled.

"Just what?"

"There are quite a few ministers who have good friends with Qi Yuan in the court. If the master wants to push our people up, I'm afraid they will not let him go." Ji Kai worried.

Xu Man was unaware of any difficulties, and said disdainfully: "It's just a group of incompetent sour people, nothing to worry about. You just need to help me choose a suitable person for that position."

"Yes! Master." Ji Kai didn't say anything more, and bowed to answer.No one noticed that the moment he bowed, there was a calculating look in his eyes.
