King's Landing [Rebirth]

Da Sima disagreed with the prime minister, and now the ministers present were embarrassed. They thought about it in their hearts, and felt that Wang Yu was the one Wang could not offend, so they insisted on writing a letter to support Da Sima.

The staff in the mansion all looked forward to the prime minister's leadership. Although they looked down on Sima Rong at first, since the prime minister spoke up, they found it very reasonable after careful consideration, so they naturally supported the prime minister's decision, and the two sides argued for a long time.

Seeing Wang Shuzhi's resolute attitude, Wang Yu was very annoyed: "Shuzhi, do you know that this is a good time for me to return to Jingzhou? Now that I am stranded in the capital alone, far away from the Jingzhou army, I, the great Sima, am just an empty shell ?”

Wang Shuzhi always had a smile on his face, and said leisurely: "Uncle, don't worry, General Yu is going to fight, can't uncle and all the soldiers stand by and watch? If something goes wrong with Yu's army, uncle stays in the capital, and there is no time for reinforcements. Go back early and make preparations. I will write a letter tomorrow to request an order in detail, and the emperor will definitely allow uncle to leave Beijing."

Wang Yu was still full of anger, he flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "So, you still have to listen to this servant and recommend Yu Mao to lead the army?"

Wang Shuzhi glanced at Sima Rong sideways, and when he opened his mouth, he put his hands in his hands and drooped his eyebrows to pretend to be a tree stump. He couldn't help but feel amused: "Yan Qing's words are reasonable, so I naturally want to listen. What's more, the Yu family's army can win battles in the south, but they can't fight in the north." But it’s not as good as our Jingzhou soldiers. It’s very cold this winter. Wouldn’t it be better to ask them to go on the Northern Expedition and suffer a little bit? When they can’t conquer it, my uncle will lead troops to reinforce it. Firstly, it will dampen their prestige, and secondly, it’s just in time for the beginning of spring. , wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone?”

"Then what if Yu Mao wins the battle? That's a chance to give them a chance to stand up for nothing!"

"Is the King of Qin so easy to deal with? Even if General Yu wins by chance, Uncle can take the opportunity to propose to continue the Northern Expedition. By then, Yu's army will be exhausted, so the heavy responsibility will naturally fall on Uncle's shoulders."

Having said this, the ministers immediately turned the wind and responded in unison.

Wang Yu's face was sullen, although he felt that what he said was somewhat reasonable, but he was not happy in his heart. Thinking that this place is the prime minister's shogunate after all, and all the soldiers who loyally followed him are all far away in Jingzhou, he was a little depressed, and finally waved his sleeves heavily. happy to leave.

Seeing this, everyone didn't dare to stay any longer, and left one after another.

After getting out of the shogunate and getting into the carriage, Wang Shuzhi rested his forehead on his hands, looked at Sima Rong and said with a smile, "Yan Qing, you can impress me again today, I never thought that Lu Zixiu, who has been a slave for eight years, is actually a man who is familiar with military books and knows the government. Capable people, it's not easy!"

Sima Rong's eyes were indifferent, and he smiled, "It's just that I learned a little bit of superficial knowledge and used the axe in front of Da Sima."

"Because of the fur..." Wang Shuzhi stroked his chin, and his two smiling eyes were full of interest, "Then why did you stop it? And you stopped it so loudly?"

"Could it be wrong for this subordinate to stop him?" Sima Rong raised his eyes to look at him, "Didn't the Prime Minister also stop him?"

"The Great Sima has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has also played drums in the cold winter. How can he be so easy to lose? What's more, Qin's domestic consumption is quite high now, and the reinforcements for Zhang Qin in Yanzhou may be a little perfunctory."

"Then why did the prime minister stop it?"

"I..." Wang Shuzhi paused, then shook his head helplessly, "I'm just putting on airs in front of those old ministers, do you really think I'm full of strength?"

Sima Rong was slightly taken aback.

Wang Shuzhi leaned against the wall of the carriage and sighed: "The emperor's thoughts are not overnight. In recent days, the prince's side has really made people feel safe. I'm afraid there will be some movement sooner or later. If my uncle crosses the river to the north, the far water can't solve the near fire. It is easy to go wrong here, and uncle in the north will be affected at that time, if there is such a day, the Wang family will be in danger."

Sima Rong lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while, then asked, "Why didn't the prime minister tell Da Sima directly?"

Wang Shuzhi narrowed his pupils slightly, laughed at himself, and shook his head: "No way."

Sima Rong raised his eyes and looked at him in astonishment. Although his words were vague and he was not in the same party as him, for some reason, his heart froze slightly.

Wang Shuzhi turned his eyes to look at him, raised his lips and smiled slightly: "Why are you staring at me again?"

Sima Rong blinked, and looked back slightly uncomfortably.

Wang Shuzhi leaned closer: "Obviously I was asking you a question, but instead of answering the question, you pried my mouth open. I trust you so much, but you don't want to reciprocate. Isn't it justifiable?"

The serene aura of Chen Xiang approached again, too faint to be grasped, yet not to be ignored. Sima Rong's thoughts were drawn away for a moment, and his eyes turned to the lips with a slight smile in front of him. In a pair of eyes of unknown depth.

Seeing him looking straight at him, Wang Shuzhi suddenly remembered the black hair that brushed against his fingertips that night, something seemed to be plucked somewhere in his heart, he paused for breath, and then raised his hand towards his face.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly bumped against a rock and swayed heavily. Sima Rong was unaware that he was knocked forward and leaned forward. Before he could stabilize himself, he slammed into Wang Shuzhi's chest.

Wang Shuzhi's outstretched hand barely slipped past his ear, he hastily held him tightly, and put his other hand on the mat to stabilize his body, so he didn't lean back.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, Sima Rong wanted to sit up, but found that the strength in his back was a little tight, and his heart also tightened.

"Are you okay?" Wang Shuzhi looked down at him, his lips were almost touching his forehead, his breath was warm.

Sima Rong suddenly felt a little flustered in his heart, he quickly pushed him away with his hands, sat up straight again, and looked away: "It's okay, thank you, Prime Minister."

"Yan Qing..." Wang Shuzhi looked at him, his eyes deepening.

"I accidentally wrinkled the Prime Minister's clothes, Prime Minister forgive me." Sima Rong lowered his eyebrows and smoothed the crane cloak on his knees, as if his mood would gradually calm down.

Wang Shuzhi looked at his expression, seeing that he still didn't look at him, he couldn't help but chuckled in a low voice: "Yan Qing, my clothes are also wrinkled."

Sima Rong: "..."

"Aren't you going to dust me off?"

Sima Rong: "..."

"It's so unfair!"

Sima Rong's face was stiff, and he leaned forward tightly, and really began to straighten his clothes.

Wang Shuzhi leaned on the desk, stared at him with his forehead propped up, and couldn't stop laughing.

Back at the prime minister's mansion, Sima Rong looked at the broken roof, inexplicably disturbed, and after nightfall, saw Wang Shuzhi appearing at his door again, he was silent for a moment, and said: "Prime Minister, let's rest first, my subordinates I'm afraid I ate too much today, and I feel a little bloated, so I want to go around the yard."

Wang Shuzhi swept him up and down, seeing that he didn't show any signs of food stagnation, he smiled and nodded: "Well, let's go."

Sima Rong walked into the courtyard by the moonlight, not knowing where he was going, so he walked around at random, and finally sat down in a pavilion near the lake. whisper.

"Did you see? The prime minister has been a little bit out of sorts recently."

The pavilion was built on a small slope, and the terrain was a bit high. Sima Rong was taken aback when he heard it, and walked softly to the other side and sat down. He was excited to speak, but stopped.

Another person whispered: "I saw it too. Tell me, is it possible that the prime minister has fallen for Wang Chi?"

Sima Rong, who was listening to the wall in the pavilion, twitched his eyes.

"It's very possible. Otherwise, what would you do if you knocked down the roof? There are still so many houses in the mansion that people can live in. The prime minister didn't even look at it, so he just went to Wang Chi's place."

"By the way, I heard that when I went to the shogunate today, the prime minister took Wang Chi up to look far away, and even put his own clothes on him. When did the prime minister treat people so well? His pampering look stunned everyone else. "

"Is there such a thing? I didn't expect that the prime minister turned out to be a manly man. Isn't this just..."

"Longyang is so good!"

"Yes! Longyang is so good!"

Sima Rong: "..."

"Cough..." A clear cough sounded very abruptly in the night, startling the two whispering people over there.

Sima Rong recognized that it was Wang Shuzhi's voice, and was even more speechless. He sat back on the side next to the lake again, pretending that he was not there.

When the two servants suddenly saw the rightful lord who was being discussed, they were startled and terrified. They knelt down and bowed to the ground together: "Damn the villain! Please forgive me, Prime Minister!"

Wang Shuzhi didn't seem displeased, and he scolded with a smile: "I don't sleep in the middle of the night, meddling in so many other's affairs! If I hear you chewing your tongues behind your back again, I'll pull out your tongues and drink with you next time!"

The two servants heard that he was not angry, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your generosity! The villain will not dare next time!"

"En." Wang Shuzhi waved his hand indifferently.

The two servants were looking at it from the corner of their eyes, their faces were filled with joy, they got up from the ground in a hurry, and ran away without a trace after taking a breath.

The surroundings of the pavilion suddenly fell silent. Sima Rong didn't hear footsteps for a while, and he was puzzled, so he moved back, and just poked his head out halfway, when he heard a chuckle from below, and his movements froze.

The moonlight fell from the bare branches, half-lighting Wang Shuzhi's raised smiling face. Sima Rong gave him a condescending look, straightened his face, got up and walked down: "Why is the prime minister here?"

"I was worried, so I came out to look for you." Wang Shuzhi raised his hand to touch his face, "It's so cold? Go back soon."

Sima Rong was taken aback for a moment, turned his head to avoid his hand in a busy manner, suddenly didn't know where to place his eyes, responded vaguely, turned around and left.

Looking at his straight back, Wang Shuzhi shook his head and smiled, followed him a few steps, walking side by side with him: "If you can't sleep, let's continue talking tonight."

"No, I can sleep."

Sima Rong answered quickly, but when he actually lay on the couch, he felt his whole body was stiff, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't sleep no matter what.

Wang Shuzhi turned sideways, raised his head and looked towards him in the dark, and said with a smile, "Yan Qing, are you asleep?"

Sima Rong didn't want to respond, so he paused, but he still said, "No."

Wang Shuzhi sighed softly: "It seems that I and Lu Zixiu have the same fate!"

Sima Rong: "..."
