King's Landing [Rebirth]

There were already horses waiting in the shadows on the bank. Wang Shuzhi walked over against the wall, got on his horse neatly, and under the cover of two followers, galloped all the way north towards the shogunate. The guards were Wang's cronies. The token will immediately open a small door on one side.

The prime minister's shogunate was built along the river and next to the mountain. When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the river. It can be called the fortress of the capital and the throat of the imperial city.

When the Hu people invaded the Central Plains, the Jin family was able to establish a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River and reorganize the great cause. The Wang family made great contributions. Even Emperor Yuan invited Wang Maohong to the throne together. The saying "the king and the horse share the world" is now in Wang Shuzhi's generation, and his aides and confidants still communicate frequently, but the emperor has changed several times, and the original trust has long been lost.

The prime minister's shogunate seemed to be a thorn in the emperor's side and a thorn in his flesh.

The gate of the shogunate opened in response, and Wang Shuzhi walked in quickly. As soon as he entered the main hall, someone rushed up to meet him and knelt down on the ground: "I pay my respects to the prime minister!"

"En." Wang Shuzhi raised his hand, took a seat at the main table, restrained his romantic spirit, although his face was calm, but there was no smile in his brows and eyes, he just said lightly, "Sit, the letter is vague, what is the matter?" How, tell me now."

"Yes." The person who came was sitting at the bottom, wiped off his cold sweat before speaking, "Master Du Yue Du went to the capital to transport a batch of congratulatory gifts for the emperor's birthday, but when he passed by Yuzhou, the congratulatory gifts disappeared. The lower official is worried that if the news spreads to the palace, people with intentions will use it to make a big fuss, Yuzhou is the most important thing, if the post of shepherd in Yuzhou is changed because of this, it will be very harmful to us."

Wang Shuzhi nodded, his eyes plunged into the darkness for a moment of contemplation, and asked, "Where is Du Yue now?"

"He's still in Yuzhou's Mufu Mansion, and he's been restrained by Mr. Liang, but I'm afraid it won't last long. Once he enters the capital, the news won't be kept secret."

"It's only a moment if you can delay it for a moment." Wang Shuzhi wrote a letter, and said while writing, "immediately order someone to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the congratulatory gift. In addition, hand this letter to Liang Yu and make sure he opens it himself. This matter is strange. It's very strange, why the congratulatory gift disappeared within his jurisdiction, let him be on guard, and report it immediately if he finds out the insider."

"Yes."

Wang Shuzhi discussed with his confidants inside for a while, settled the matter and didn't stay for long, and soon got on his horse in the dark and went back to the house.

But at this time, on the painting boat on the Qinhuai River, Sima Rong was complaining endlessly, lying on the table pretending to be drunk, he could hear the pacing back and forth at the stern of the boat, slightly raised his eyes to look out through the curtain, and then Quickly buried his face down.

It was really lively tonight. Prime Minister Wang played with a golden cicada to escape its shell, and Wu Zeng, a member of Zhongshe, followed him.

Wu Zeng is a confidant of the crown prince, he said that he was admiring the moon on a nearby boat, and when he saw the prime minister's painting boat, he took the liberty to come to bother him. He said it was presumptuous, but he heard that the prime minister was drunk but refused to leave, and stayed outside with a cheeky face, and said with a smile : "Then the next official will greet the prime minister after he sobers up."

Sima Rongfu moved his legs on the case, wishing he could kick this person into the Qinhuai River.

Wang Ting, who was guarding the stern, spoke for the third time: "Master Wu, the prime minister is very drunk tonight, and I'm afraid he won't be able to wake up for a while. It's cool in autumn and the river is humid. You should go back and rest, and wait for the prime minister to wake up." Wake up, the villain will report again?"

"Hey! It's okay!" Wu Zeng replied with a smile, "The moonlight is just right, and there is such a beautiful string music, there is no need to rest and wait for a while."

Sima Rong gritted his teeth and scolded him in his heart, because he couldn't really go out to chase people away, so he could only wait patiently, thinking that if Wang Shuzhi came back and met him face to face, things would be bad, Wang Shuzhi was sneaky Yes, it must be intentional to deceive others, and the crown prince has been at odds with him, this Wu Zeng is a bad comer!

Sima Rong thought for a while, touched the wine jug at the side, and without lifting his head, opened his clothes to cover his chest, and poured it down.

In his previous life, he was weak and never drank alcohol, so he couldn't enjoy the strong aroma of the wine, he frowned and wanted to pinch his nose, but in the end he couldn't take it anymore and sneezed hard.

"Huh? The Prime Minister is awake." Wu Zengyu was excited and was about to barge in.

Wang Ting hastily stepped in front of him: "My lord, wait for a moment, and the villain will go in and have a look first."

Before they lifted the curtain, Sima Rong suddenly left the seat and got up, kicked the case over, rushed out from the other side, half covered his face, stretched out his hand to grab a dancing beauty, and was followed by Wu Zeng. Shi Shi raised his sleeves to wrap his arms around him, covering his face by the way, and waved Ruyi in his hand without saying a word.

Surprised and delighted, the beauty hurriedly supported him, her voice was so soft that water could be squeezed out: "Prime Minister, do you want to go back and rest?"

Sima Rong burped, but didn't respond.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ting breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly stepped forward to support him from the other side. Ren Wu Zeng poked his head from behind, and every time he was very clever and unobtrusively blocked his eyes, respectfully said: "Prime Minister, You are drunk, the villain will send you back to your residence."

Sima Rong almost sneezed again from the beauty's fragrance, and quickly fell on Wang Ting, switching his sleeve to cover his face.

At this time the night was dark, and there were several strings of lanterns hanging around the painting boat, but it was still hazy and drowsy. Although Sima Rong was slightly smaller than Wang Shuzhi, it was not obvious that he was leaning on Wang Ting in all directions, and he was easily confused.

Although Wang Ting was polite to Wu Zeng, he was serving by the prime minister's side after all. At this moment, his heart was firmly in his stomach, so naturally he didn't need to give any more face. He just explained and helped him ashore. Go in the direction of the carriage.

The beauty and Wu Zeng could only watch them leave, both with expressions of regret.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Sima Rong immediately put down his sleeves, with a condensed expression, he stretched out his hand and pointed out: "Hurry up and arrange someone to meet the prime minister nearby, don't let him go sailing."

"Yes." Wang Ting replied, and quickly sent someone to guard the place where Wang Shuzhi must pass when he came back.

Sima Rong pinched his nose and looked at him, then said softly, "What's wrong?"

Wang Ting always felt that his answer to "yes" just now was very wrong. After thinking about it, he realized that he smiled and gave him a thumbs up: "Wang Chi, you are so imposing just now! I almost beat you Be the prime minister."

Sima Rong smiled inscrutablely, and patted him on the shoulder: "How can you fool people if you don't pretend to be decent?"

Wang Ting nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly ordered the coachman to drive the carriage back to the prime minister's mansion.

Wang Shuzhi got the news on the way, couldn't help laughing slightly, turned his horse's head and diverted to another road.

A follower behind him drove forward and said in a low voice: "Prime Minister, excuse me for talking too much, this Wang Chi looks extremely smart, he really doesn't look like he is a slave in Lu's residence, you should be more careful."

Wang Shuzhi smiled indifferently: "It's really not like that. He doesn't even know how to serve people, but he is very good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Prefect Lu and I, Mrs. Wang, are on the same boat. Why do you think he sent such a smart person here?" reason?"

"This... this subordinate is stupid, so I can't guess it for a while."

"It doesn't matter. Prefect Lu has his own intentions, but it is definitely not against my Wang family, otherwise Wang Chi would not show his strengths so blatantly." Wang Shuzhi pondered for a while, and then said, "While prefect Lu is in Beijing, two days later Invite him over to the house for a talk."

"Yes."

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Sima Rong had washed off all the wine stains, and began to try hard to recall what happened in Beijing during this period. Unfortunately, three years have passed, and it is not easy to figure it out. What happened? When I was trying to figure it out, I heard movement outside, and I quickly got up and walked out.

With a smile in his eyes, Wang Shuzhi waved his hands away from his salute, and happily walked into the room, praising: "Well done!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Sima Rong followed and made tea for him.

Wang Shuzhi sat down, moved his ankle and sighed: "It's okay to have smaller clothes, but it's really a pain if the shoes are tight."

Sima Rong looked at his feet: "The villain may be able to catch up with the prime minister in three years, and he will definitely not wear the prime minister's small shoes by then."

Wang Shuzhi laughed when he heard this, took a sip of the tea in his hand, tasted it, and glanced at him: "Wang Chi, you also learned this tea art in the prefect's mansion?"

"Yes."

"Hmm... It seems that the prefect's mansion is a treasure land!" Wang Shuzhi took another sip, with a rather appreciative expression, and said, "Wu Zeng is the one who was stopped tonight?"

"Back to the prime minister, the villain heard him call himself so."

"How did you know to stop him?"

Sima Rong paused, without changing his face, he said: "The villain didn't understand until he heard Wang Ting's voice blocking him outside. Besides, the prime minister asked the villain to sit inside for you, so you should be more careful."

"En." Wang Shuzhi nodded, stood up and looked around, "Where are my clothes?"

Sima Rong turned around and took his agarwood Ruyi and handed it to him, and replied: "The villain poured some wine on his body in a hurry, the clothes are already stained with wine, I plan to send them to the back to be washed tomorrow."

Wang Shuzhi nodded but didn't accept Ruyi, he just nodded on the table casually: "Put it there, come and help me take a bath."

Sima Rong almost lost his footing, looked at him in surprise, saw him looking back, quickly lowered his eyelashes, and followed very obediently, to the side of the steaming pool, stepped forward to undress him.

Wang Shuzhi opened his arms and said "uh", "I don't know how to serve people."

Sima Rong secretly gritted his teeth.

He originally thought that since he got his life back, it doesn't matter how miserable he is. He has endured the days of being a useless person before, so he is afraid that he will not succeed as a servant?

But now, seeing Wang Shuzhi's disgusted face, he almost wanted to put him face down in the water, and said angrily in his heart: One day when I return to the palace, I will ask you to return the capital with interest!

Wang Shuzhi's body was tight and he didn't have the weak airs of a literati. Sima Rong squinted at his waist and abdomen, and then looked away when he entered the water. Kneeling beside him, he couldn't do anything, so he took a wooden spoon to scoop up some water randomly. Pour it on him.

Wang Shuzhi smiled lightly, but said nothing more.

Sima Rong thought about it for a while, and he was a little unwilling, and asked, "Why doesn't the prime minister let the maidservant serve? A villain with rough hands and feet is afraid that the service will not be thoughtful."

Wang Shuzhi shook his head: "Not right, not right..."

Sima Rong looked at him in surprise: Is this man still a gentleman?

Wang Shuzhi put his hand on the wall of the pool, and said leisurely: "The servant girl will blush with shame, I can't bear it."
