Chapter 558 Who is the fisherman
The nonsense saying "Huangfu and Pei family share the world" was not believed by the initial emperor or Pei Qiu. After giving up on false pretexts, the two sides revealed the festival and agreed on future contact methods, as well as preliminary preparation plans, etc. As it was getting late, the old prince saluted and said he left.
The Emperor Chu sent the old prince to the gate of Changlemen for the first time, and kept watching his carriage disappear from the distance, but he was still reluctant to withdraw his gaze for a long time.
"Old Du, what are you talking about this old guy today?" The Emperor Chuqi held his hands behind his back and looked at the dark sky, and said with a slight gaze: "Why is this still falling into a dream?"
"Your Majesty is like this, and I am even more confused," Du Hui couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If it was a bit true to say that Old Mrs. Mei took the initiative to apply for the results a while ago, Old Mrs. Pei suddenly changed her mind, which is really unpredictable."
The Pei family could not pour in the water run by the 200,000 Zhenbei Army, and at least controlled half of the imperial guards in the Jingying camp. In addition, their troops in the Shanxi, Shaanxi and Hebei area could probably bring in a total of 500,000 troops. In terms of military strength, they were second only to the Xiahou Family, and their elite level was even more than that, and they could compete with the Xiahou Family.
How could the Pei family, who had such terrifying strength, take the initiative to offer the jade seal and serve the emperor?
"Actually, there is nothing to think about," Emperor Chu retracted his gaze and sneered with teasing words on his face: "The lower the posture of Pei Val, the bigger the goal they are. If I were Pei Qiu or Pei Du, with such terrifying strength, I wouldn't be willing to squeeze out Xiahou Val and be the second child, right?"
"What did Your Majesty say?" Du Hui was terrified when he heard this.
The Emperor Chu Shi nodded with a cold face, turned around and walked towards Changle Palace, while whispering: "If I guess correctly, I'm afraid they have the same thoughts as the Xiahou Quarantine. However, their strength is much weaker than the Xiahou Quarantine, so they dare not force themselves and want to take the lead."
"Your Majesty is saying that if the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman will benefit?" Even Du Hui understood what the emperor meant.
"Well, it's probably like this." The Emperor of Shin felt goose bumps, not knowing whether it was because of fear or excitement. He put his hands into his sleeves, and his voice changed excitedly: "But no matter what, it is a great thing for me. At least before I and Xiahou Ba decide to win or lose, they will definitely stand on my side. This means that Xiahou Ba's arm was cut off again. What else should I worry about? Let's give it a try!"
As he said that, his fists were tightly clamped together in his sleeves, gritting his teeth and said, "The snipe and clam fight, the fisherman gains benefits, but it is unknown who will be the fisherman!"
Back at Changle Hall, the Emperor Chu asked Du Hui to close the door of the hall, and then carefully took out the jade seal from his arms, held it in his palm and looked at it carefully. Although in front of Pei Qiu, he seemed to not care about the authenticity of this thing, how could that be possible?
How could there be an emperor who didn't want a real jade seal? Even a wise and powerful monarch like Gaozu was depressed for many years because he did not have a jade seal in his country. What's more, the initial emperor who was in a wrong position and was walking on thin ice?
"You think, is this jade seal true or not?" Emperor Chu Shi had asked Du Hui several times.
"Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor and should have the most say. Your Majesty thinks it is true, so it must be true." Du Hui also answered several times.
"I think it's true..." The Emperor of Chu said halfway, and became worried and worried, "But I'm worried that if I take a look, wouldn't it be a laughing joke?"
"By the way, Your Majesty." Du Hui suddenly remembered something like a report: "Zuo Yanqing once served as a guard in the Western Qin Palace, and served as a guest of the Ganchao Emperor on behalf of the Western Qin Dynasty. Maybe he had seen the jade seal in Jinling."
"Yes, I have heard of this too!" The Emperor Chu suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Go and call him for me."
"Yes." Du Hui hurried out to Changle Palace. Seeing that the palace people were all being sent away by him, there were only Qianniuwei who was patrolling outside the hall, he asked in a deep voice: "Who is on duty today?"
"Go back to the chief executive, Lord Lu and Lord Huangfu Gui are on duty." A Qianniu Guard replied in a low voice.
"Go and call Lu Yun." Du Hui ordered.
After a while, Lu Yun quickly walked to the front of the hall and bowed to Du Hui.
"What are the instructions of the chief executive?"
"Your Majesty wants to see Old Master Zuo, you go to Shangqing Temple for a trip." Du Hui said, and handed a gold medal to Lu Yun.
"Yes." Lu Yun quickly took over the gold medal with both hands, bowed and retreated, turned around and walked away quickly.
.
After a cup of tea, Lu Yun rode a horse to Shangqing Palace west of Ziwei City. Compared to the desolate scene when he came last time, the green shade was hidden at this time, and the red walls and yellow tiles under the flowers looked much more vivid.
Lu Yunfei got off his horse, quickly walked into Shangqing Palace, and ran towards the western side hall.
Zuo Yanqing seemed to have a feeling and had already stood by His Highness waiting for him.
"Greetings to Mr. Zuo." Lu Yun was in his hands and could not salute.
"Your Majesty summoned me?" Zuo Yanqing frowned slightly and muttered: "It's so late."
"I am serving my father-in-law to change his clothes." Lu Yun put away the gold medal and smiled and stepped forward.
"How dare you get your luck?" Zuo Yanqing said with a blank look: "Wait here."
"It is the honor of the younger generation to serve my father-in-law." Lu Yun followed with a shy face. Although this father-in-law was sarcastic, he was already one of his most relied on help... Since Lu Yun entered the palace to meet the old empress dowager, he sent valuable information to Lu Yun through his uncle. This allowed Lu Yun to predict it again and again, and be prepared and naturally have no trouble.
"What are you doing?" Zuo Yanqing's eyes drooped slightly, indicating that it was very safe here, but Lu Yun said it was okay.
"My father-in-law knows, what did Your Majesty call you?" Lu Yun then stood up and said in a deep voice.
"You are by the emperor all day long, but you ask me in reverse, isn't it a bit ridiculous?" Zuo Yanqing teased.
"Oh, I just kept the guard for him, and I couldn't get the secret of the news." Lu Yun smiled bitterly and said, "It's like today, he closed the gate and asked Du Hui to guard the door. Although I was outside the hall, how dare I spy on it?"
"It's right that you don't spy on it. Don't look at Du Hui's old and incomplete body, but his skills are not inferior to those of the past." Zuo Yanqing said lightly: "Within three feet outside the hall, no movement can escape his senses."
"Luckily..." Lu Yun couldn't help but sweat in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he was just a new arrival and did not dare to act rashly, otherwise he would have been caught by the old eunuch, and all his previous efforts would be wasted.
"Not a reminder at all?" Zuo Yanqing warned Lu Yun and asked in a deep voice.
"Of course there is." Lu Yun nodded quickly and said, "This afternoon, when I led the team to patrol, I saw the Prince of Fenyang entering the palace to meet him alone. After a while, the palace servants were driven out. Qianniu Guard set up a post and the palace gates were all closed. It was not until dark that His Majesty sent him out in person. He said a lot of excitement to Du Hui on the way back, and as soon as he entered the Changle Palace Gate, it closed again..."
