My cat has the throne

Chapter 54 Banquet of Four Countries

After Fu Yi let go of his harsh words, he settled down strangely for a while, so that the chilling threat slowly dissipated like morning fog, and Mao Mao and Shang Ke suspended their guard.

June is coming soon, discussing the start of his Ph.D. defense, and Fu Si is also busy with the paperwork, and he is dizzy from the paperwork.

——At this time, officials from various prefectures came to Beijing to report on their duties, and Wu State, which is adjacent to Chu State, also sent envoys to visit.Emperor Kang Yuan handed over the corresponding documents to Fu Si.

It also happened that the emperor was unwell for several days, and more power was given to the boss. People inside and outside the court were guessing that if there is a heir, there will be a heir, and there will be no heir.

Fu Si was entertaining guests at the Sifang Posthouse, and the envoy of Wu State was very interested in flattering him, and even said a lot of treasonous words to him in private.

Regarding this, Fangzheng sent Fu Si out and said: "Your Highness, it is best to be cautious. Although His Highness is in the limelight, the cusp of the storm is also the most dangerous place. Your Highness, don't make mistakes at critical moments."

Fu Sifan asked: "What is the critical time? Wu Guo visits every year, and I happen to return to Beijing this year. Apart from that, there is nothing special."

Fangzheng gave him a meaningful look, "Shu Yi is utterly loyal to His Highness, His Highness is cautious with others, and there is no need to restrain yourself in front of your ministers."

Fu Si: "..."

The two co-authors are still working hard to let him inherit the throne, who cares.

The words were not speculative, Fu Si was too lazy to say any more, and was about to leave the Sifang Posthouse, when he suddenly remembered that Zhou Mo had recovered from his amnesia at that time, and said that the trip to Chenzhou made him remember some past events.Because of this past event, he let his close cousin and son-in-law not support him, but he was determined to follow Fu Si...

And to find out the purpose behind Fu Yi's words and deeds, of course, he has to deduce from the past to the present.

"How is Brother Shuyi?" Fu Si stopped and turned around.

Fangzheng smiled, "Very good. It would be even better if His Highness can compete with him in martial arts."

The meaning in the words was to ask Fu Si and Zhou Mo to find time to meet each other. Fu Si nodded, "I will visit Brother Shuyi after I am busy. Or, Your Majesty ordered, please treat the envoys of Wu State well. Brother Shuyi has made great contributions to the country. , when the time comes, the palace banquet should naturally be attended."

Fangzheng agreed on Zhou Mo's behalf, "Your Highness will naturally understand what His Highness values. Our country joined forces with Wu to destroy the grasslands many years ago, and later they fought against each other, and there were still frequent frictions. Only in recent years has the covenant been signed for peaceful coexistence, but in fact it is still against each other. , the people of Wu will not dare to be presumptuous if there is a book meaning present."

Fu Si thought to himself, he just wanted to find someone to meet Zhou Mo in an open and aboveboard manner, but Fangzheng was able to think so far.

Fu Si came out of Sifang Posthouse, turned around and started preparing for the state banquet again.Three days later, the preparations were complete, and the grand event was held in Guiyan Pavilion. Emperor Kang Yuan, who had been ill for a long time, and all the princes, Zhou family, Zhao family, Xu family, Wang family and other honorable ministers all attended.

The emperor sat at the top, and Fu Si was the first on the left, followed by Fu Yi. Fu Xi liked to show off the most, but he was depressed for days so he didn't attend... After Fu En came Zhou Taifu and other respected veterans, and Zhou Mo was on the left. The side, middle and rear position, sitting in a special wheelchair, is particularly conspicuous.

The right seat is the Wu State Mission, the leader is Xu Ping, the left sleeve is empty, the right hand raises a glass to the emperor, King An and others, and then faces Zhou Mo.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but General Zhou is still as handsome." His eyes fell on Zhou Mo's immobile legs, and his smile was a little provocative.

Zhou Mo tidied up the thin blanket covering his knees, and said with a faint smile: "General Xu used to be able to hold a thousand-weight bow. After a few years, he must be more proficient in archery now."

Fu Si could hardly bear it.

You scold me for being lame, and I laugh at you for having one arm.

These two opponents, on the battlefield, no one was able to kill the other, and each was disabled.Goodbye now, although there is no sword, light or sword, I refuse to be defeated in words.

The people of Chu State are outstanding, and the rough men of Wu State are no match for those cultivated by the Zhou family's scholarly family, and their words hit the nail on the head.

Xu Ping blushed, stared, but was tongue-tied, not knowing how to fight back.

This kind of verbal dispute is harmless. Emperor Kang Yuan turned a blind eye and let it go. He coughed and said, "Chu and Wu have good relations. Before the earthquake in Chenzhou, I was also concerned about the safety of the people of Wu. Ambassador Xu , the disaster situation in your country is settled now?"

Speaking of this, Xu Ping became angry.Tiger's eyes glanced dully at Fu Si and Fu Yi brothers.

Chenzhou was hit by an earthquake, and Duanzhou, Wu State, which is adjacent to it, was also seriously affected.Two little-known princes of the Chu Kingdom suddenly showed their talents. One donated some kind of seismograph, and the other dragged his sick body. He quickly resettled the disaster victims in his own country, and even abducted many Wu people to move to Chu.Said that there is some god to bless.

It's really deceiving!

Xu Ping was irritable, but the deputy envoy was calm and told him not to explode on the spot, but to use words to prevaricate it.

Although the banquet between the two countries is governed by a covenant, there is no conflict on the surface, but there are ups and downs in the dark.

After drinking for three rounds, Xu Ping continued to drink, put his wine glass on the table with a blushing face, and said with his tongue out: "I heard that His Majesty Chu has been sick recently... back then——although I haven't seen it, I've heard of it." Many times—Wu and Chu joined forces to wipe out the grassland barbarians... How heroic that is!

My father often mentioned that His Majesty Chu's archery skills are excellent, thousands of times better than those barbarians on horseback begging for a living!There is a saying, green out of blue is better than blue!

......"

The more Xu Ping spoke, the more he could not speak clearly, and in the end he was stuck on the wine table.In the second half of the banquet, the Deputy Envoy delivered a speech on behalf of the Wu Kingdom. Emperor Kang Yuan looked very unhappy. I don't know if it was because the envoy was rude or he was still ill.

Fu Si quietly observed the expressions of the people at the banquet, and became more and more sure of his idea——

Father Emperor, Fu Yi, Zhou Mo, Wu Guo's envoys...these people are all related to the border and the grassland without exception.

When Emperor Kang Yuan was the prince, he joined forces with Wu to destroy the barbarians; Fu Yi, whose birth mother is unknown, was rumored to be a fugitive slave on the border; Zhou Mo was injured twice at the border, and he is very familiar with the emperor's archery skills...

Therefore... Fu Si glanced sideways at Fu Yi. I am afraid that if he wants to find out the original intention of Fu Yi's actions, he must first sort out the alliance between the two countries.

The singing and dancing are over, and the banquet is coming to an end.Fu Si gave Zhou Mo a look and motioned him to stay. After the guests had dispersed, the two had a private discussion. Zhou Mo nodded slightly to express his understanding.

Probably because of drinking too much, in the end, Emperor Kang Yuan was out of spirits and looked tired, he was polite and said some beautiful words of good neighborliness and friendship, and the banquet came to an end.

The emperor left the table, and everyone got up to see them off. Fu Sicai found out that Mingyue Wolf had been waiting in the corner, waiting for the emperor, and left with him.The emperor looked at each other with softer eyes.

Fu Sishu let out a sigh of relief, thinking, what are the concubines in the harem if the emperor treats Ming Yuelang like this?Looking at Fu Yi's pale face from the corner of the eye, he thought again, what is Fu Yi's mother and concubine in the heart of the emperor?

Probably no match for a bright moon wolf.

But is Mingyue Wolf so worthy of the emperor's liking?

Fu Sisi didn't understand, he was in a trance, and suddenly heard a sharp cry——

"There are assassins! Escort!"

——It was Sixi, the eunuch next to Emperor Kang Yuan.

Fu Si raised his eyes and looked over, Emperor Kang Yuan was pale in the crowd surrounded by guards, and Mingyue Wolf who joined hands with him had been pierced through the temple by a sharp arrow and died on the spot——

Just like the deer in the paddock that day.

"It's not good, His Royal Highness Xin vomited blood!" Another scream sounded, Fu Si hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw that Fu Yi had fallen to the ground unconscious, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth to his chin.

I don't know if it's an angle problem, but Fu Si can vaguely see from the curvature of Fu Yi's mouth——

smile?
