Chapter 43: New weather

Suiyang, Liang Palace.

King Liang was on the throne and was having a banquet with Guo Jie's master and disciple, Han Anguo, Yang Sheng, Gongsun Gui, Mei Cheng, Zhuang Ji, Sima Xiangru and others.

Guo Jie sat beside King Liang, because the King of Liang was particularly respectful to him. Over the years, Guo Jie was the only one who could sit in this position. Even Han Anguo, who made great contributions in quelling the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, could not do it. The grand courtesy of King Liang to Guo Jie is shown by this.

Guo Jie's three apprentices, Chu Qiao, Han Feng, and the fifth one are all high-ranking. The four masters and apprentices have a arrogant look on their faces, and they don't take the world seriously.

Han Anguo, Yang Sheng, Gongsun Gui, Mei Cheng, Zhuang Ji and Sima Xiangru sat in their respective positions. Since the proposal to assassinate Princess Nangong was stopped by Han Anguo, although King Liang did not make it clear, he had become very cold to Han Anguo, Mei Cheng, Zhuang Ji and Sima Xiangru in his words, not as enthusiastic as before.

King Liang valued Guo Jie. When he was in Chang'an, he had a daily banquet, delicacies of mountains and seas every day, good wine and meat, and beautiful women were served. The four masters and apprentices were extremely happy.

King Liang still felt that it was not enough and wanted to invite Guo Jie to his fief. Guo Jie didn't want to come. King Liang tried his best to persuade him, and he tried his best to use all his good words, and finally invited Guo Jie's master and disciple to Suiyang. As soon as he arrived in Suiyang, King Liang held a big banquet and drank with Guo Jie every day.

As a powerful man, Guo Jie not only has an amazing alcohol tolerance, but also likes women very much. As long as they like the women in the Liang Palace, King Liang will reward them with benefits. Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, they cannot be the woman of King Liang.

Master and apprentice Guo Jie lived a paradise life in Prince Liang's Mansion. A beautiful woman with wine, meat and beauty did not leave for several months.

Today, King Liang invited them to the banquet as always, talking loudly and making loud noises during the meal, making such a happy life.

"Report to the King, the envoy of Fujian and Yue asked for a visit." A personal guard came in and reported to the King of Liang.

"Envoyee of Minyue?" King Liang was surprised and his eyes widened: "I have no connection with Minyue, why did Zou Ying send an envoy here?"

"Why bother to think about it, you will know at first sight." Guo Jie was a little drunk and his voice was a little loud.

"The king, if he did not receive permission from the court, he would meet foreign envoys. It was a serious crime. Please do not see him." Han Anguo reminded him in time.

It would be fine if he didn't speak. As soon as he spoke, King Liang remembered that he had prevented the assassination, and was very annoyed: "If you want to see whoever you want, you will see whom. Can the emperor take care of it? Don't say that a mere messenger of the Minyue, even the envoy of the Huns, I can see it!"

"The blood of the King Tian family must not do anything rebellious." Han Anguo reminded again.

"Hmph!" King Liang snorted coldly and stopped paying attention to Han Anguo: "Call him in."

"King, I'm leaving." Han Anguo stood up and saluted King Liang. Without waiting for King Liang's reaction, he left alone.

"King, I am unable to bear the power of drinking. Please give up." Mei Cheng, Zhuang Ji, Sima Xiangru and the other two stood up and followed Han Anguo's footsteps.

Looking at the backs of the four people, a sharp light flashed in King Liang's eyes. Guo Jie smiled and said, "Why bother to be angry with the king? Four chickens. If the king had made up his mind, how could he make noise?"

"Xuan!" King Liang withdrew his gaze and his eyes retreated.

The personal guard went out and quickly turned around and brought a man in his thirties in. The man quickly stepped forward and bowed to King Liang and said, "The envoy of the lower country has seen the king! The king of the lower country asks the king for his safety!"

He was humble and respectful in his words and attitude. King Liang was very happy. He waved his hand and smiled and said, "Forgive! Forgive! Is Zou Ying good?"

The envoy of Minyue replied respectfully: "King Xie asked, my king of the country is healthy!"

"Haha!" King Liang was in a good mood because of his displeasure in his career: "Zou Ying sent you to meet the orphan, what's the matter?"

The words were very arrogant, and he leaned back on the throne, looking big.

To receive the envoy in this way is a failure of manners. The envoy of Fujian and Yue raised his eyebrows and endured his unhappiness: "Report to the king, I am here to come and congratulate the king."

"Where did you start?" King Liang twisted his body and leaned more comfortably.

"Bring in!" The messenger did not answer directly, but clapped his hands. A group of Minyue servants came in with heavy boxes, put down the boxes, and retreated.

Ten beautiful girls came in with the servants. They were all beautiful, graceful, and tall and straight, and their beauty was not inferior to those of Jiangnan beauties. What’s even more rare is that the Vietnamese women were hot and unrestrained, and they had an indescribable temptation.

I don’t know how many beauties the King of Liang had seen. When he saw these ten beauties, his eyes lit up. He no longer leaned against the throne, but leaned forward, his tiger eyes wide open and wandered around the girls, making a lot of energy.

Master and disciple Guo Jie's saliva was almost flowing out, and his eyes were fixed on the girl, so he could move away.

The messenger saw it and was very happy. This trip was expected. Once again, two maids with temperament came in with a beautiful woman. The beauty was about twenty years old, with a very good figure, which should be protruding, concave, with exquisite curves and extremely attractive.

If the previous ten beauties were beauties, compared with this girl, it would be worth mentioning.

This woman is not only graceful in shape but also has a good appearance, but also because her temperament is very different from that of Yue Girl. Yue Girl is hot and unrestrained, and can inspire a man's heroic spirit. However, the beauty in front of her is quiet and dignified, but she is not without vitality. King Liang stared at this woman with his eyes, and his chest was fluctuating rapidly.

Not to mention Master and apprentice Guo Jie, his saliva flowed out.

The envoy of Minyue saw the appearance of King Liang and the other pig brother in his eyes, and was happy in his heart, and felt a little regretful. In order to please King Liang, Zou Ying was really willing to spend money and actually gave out all such a rare beauty.

"King, this woman is not produced by Xiaguo, but a man from Dongqiu overseas. The king of Xiaguo finally visited and offered it to the king." The envoy of Fujian and Yue explained with a smile on his face.

Dongxi was the name of Taiwan by the Han Dynasty at that time. At that time, Taiwan had not yet been reclaimed, so it was called an overseas country. Minyue is mainly the current Fujian, separated from Taiwan by a sea. It was not difficult for the King of Minyue Zou Ying to visit the beautiful Dongxi.

"I heard for a long time that the Dong-Ying woman is different from the Chinese woman. I saw her today, but it turned out to be different. Haha!" The Dong-Ying woman was not a problem with Zou Ying, but King Liang felt very fresh.

"Thank you for your praise." The envoy of Minyue opened the box and shone with light. The box was not filled with gold and silver, but with rare treasures.

For King Liang, gold and silver were dung. If there were too many in his mansion, he would not be able to please him at all. Only by giving him treasures can he be happy.

There are countless rare treasures, and the most conspicuous ones are two, one is coral and the other is Yuezhu. Minyue is close to the sea, so it is naturally not difficult to get coral and Yuezhu. However, these two things are good things in the eyes of King Liang, and rare treasures. Although they are rich enough to rival the country, they are rare.

King Liang left the throne, walked over quickly, looked at it one by one, his face full of joy and kept having fun.

"King, this is Yuezhu. Yuezhu must absorb the aura of a girl and see the light more." The envoy of Minyue introduced to King Liang: "To pick Yuezhu, you must not only have the girl's appearance, but also have the exquisite work of the earth. After picking, you must also use the girl's breasts to cover it. After seven days and seven nights, this bead not only shines brightly, but also has a faint fragrance."

Yuezhu is a specialty of Baiyue, which is difficult to obtain in the Han Dynasty. The envoys of Fujian and Yue blew up their own words, and this was half true and half false.

King Liang picked up one, put it on his nose and sniffed it. He nodded and glanced at the ten hot Yue women, thinking that the fragrance really looked like, the real thing.

After admiring for a while, King Liang waved his hand and asked someone to take away the gift. Ten Yue girls and the Dong-Ching-Liang Meiren were taken away by the maid. Looking at the back of the Dong-Ching-Liang Meiren, an alternative light flashed in King Liang's eyes, which would be of benefit in the future.

The eyes of Master and Apprentice Guo Jie finally took back from the girls and saw the appearance of King Liang in his eyes. It was a pity that the most beautiful Dongyu beauty became the forbidden body of King Liang. They could only feast their eyes, not their feasts.

"Give him a seat." King Liang was happy and asked someone to bring a shorter table to the envoy of Fujian and Yue.

The envoy of Minyue thanked him and sat down.

"Zou Ying is so generous, there must be something big to do. What should he do alone?" King Liang was a smart man. Although he was happy to receive the heavy gift, he did not lose his judgment.

"The king is so serious, how dare the king of the country have such a heart." The envoy of the Minyue Dynasty said good skills and said very tactfully: "The king of my country wants to ask the king for the gift."

The word "gift?" is used well, and King Liang is very helpful: "Haha! Let's talk!"

"No!" The envoy of Minyue responded and said his purpose: "The king of my country heard that the king wanted to marry Zhou Yang, but Zhou Yang refused to agree, and was unfair to the king. The king is the blood of the Tian family, so what is Zhou Yang? Isn't it just a playboy in Chang'an who eats, drinks, plays and plays all day long, fights cocks and dogs, bullies the people, and the king favors him. That is his blessing, and he dares to be ungrateful..."

Halfway through his words, King Liang nodded, which was very helpful. Although this matter was not Zhou Yang's fault, it was rejected by Empress Dowager Dou, can he say this to others? He can also vent his anger on Zhou Yang's head.

"I am disdainful of the king's wisdom. However, the king of the lower country is the minister of the king. It is said in ancient times that the king is humiliated and the king suffers such humiliation. The king of my country is willing to vent his anger for the king." The envoy of the Minyue Dynasty said a lot of flattery and finally got to the point.

"Oh!" A glimmer flashed in King Liang's eyes: "How did Zou Ying plan to vent his anger for the Lord?"

"Zhou Yang disobeys the king, and he will never die to atone for his sins!" A fierce look flashed in the eyes of the envoy of Minyue.

Zhou Yang's military use is not inferior to Zhou Yafu, but more importantly, Zhou Yang's overall view is better than Zhou Yafu and he is more good at handling government affairs. If Zhou Yang is not removed now and Zhou Yang takes greater power, then Minyue will suffer a great loss or even perish.

"King, Zhou Yang humiliated the king, and Guo was unfair to the king. If the king had any intention, Guo would go now. In less than a few days, he would definitely kill Zhou Yang and return." Guo Jie said with a bit of drunkenness.

He was determined to imitate Jing Ke and wanted to do some sensational things. He was not going to assassinate Princess Nangong last time, so he had already been full of resentment. If Zhou Yang was assassinated, would the sensation still be small? It made him more excited than assassinating Princess Nangong.

"Stop!" King Liang shouted loudly, his face darkened.

If King Liang wants to accomplish great things and win over Zhou Yang but fails, he must be eliminated. Although King Liang has great power, it is not easy to remove Zhou Yang. If he combines the power of Minyue and Guo Jiexiang's help, the possibility of success is much greater. Logically speaking, King Liang should have agreed happily, but he was angry.

Look at his angry look, it was either a false act or a true anger. Not only did the Minyue envoy not understand, but Guo Jie was also confused.

Guo Jie was a person who was trying hard to win over by King Liang. He never said a harsh word. He was good wine and meat every day, and the beautiful woman served him. He didn't say a lot of good words one day, but he never scolded him like this. Guo Jie shook his head, and he was drunk a lot. His eyes were shining, staring at King Liang, and asked, "Why did the king say this?"

"Hiss Guo misunderstood. I am scolding this thing, not intending to offend Hero Guo." King Liang came over and hurriedly apologized to Guo Jie.

"Oh!" The unpleasant look on Guo Jie's face faded: "Which king, the envoy of Fujian and Yue, he could hear it. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have another chance."

"Go back and tell Zou Ying that although his plan is good, he will not be fooled!" King Liang scolded the envoy of Minyue: "You are afraid that Zhou Yang will command the troops and destroy your Minyue Kingdom. I think I don't know? Humph! Get out!"

The word "Roll" was like thunder, which made the ears of the Minyue messenger buzz.

The envoy of Minyue wanted to say it again, but he saw the face of King Liang's as if he was about to twist out the water, but he didn't dare to say it, so he had to run out in a hurry.

After the envoy of Minyue left, Guo Jie said: "King, although Minyue has selfish intentions, it is also a good strategy. Zhou Yang has guards when he goes in and out. It is difficult to get rid of it with the power of the King. You might as well borrow the power of Minyue. If the king wants to do something big, if you don't get rid of Zhou Yang, the big thing won't be done. Please think twice."

"Why did Gu understand what Guo Daxia said?" King Liang patted his forehead and was very worried: "If Gu wants to do something big, he will definitely eliminate Zhou's father and son. If Zhou's father and son are not eliminated, it will be difficult to solve the big things. But did Guo Daxia have thought about it? The Huns have been rampant for decades, and who can deal with the Huns like Zhou Yang. For decades, there have been many famous generals in the Han Dynasty, Zhou Yafu, Li Guang, and Cheng Wuzhi. They are all famous generals, but who can deal with the Huns like Zhou Yang. If Gu apart from Zhou Yang, wouldn't he destroy the pillars of the Han Dynasty? If Gu's great affairs can be accomplished, he will be used to defeat the Huns."

"Although what the king said is reasonable, you must know that this is a disaster for raising a tiger, and there are endless troubles!" Guo Jie was extremely unwilling to accept it: "If Zhou Yang ruins the great affairs of the king, wouldn't he regret it?"

"Wait a minute, wait a little longer, Rong Gu thinks carefully!" King Liang was really annoyed. If he didn't kill Zhou Yang, he would be unable to accomplish anything. Killing Zhou Yang and destroying the pillars again, it would be really difficult for him to deal with it.

If he only becomes Prince Anle, he doesn't have to worry about these things. If he disobeys others, he will just kill them. However, if he wants to be the emperor, he needs talent. Without talent, even if he becomes the emperor, he will not be able to make any difference. If he does not have good generals like Zhou Yang, even if he becomes the emperor, he will likely become the second Liu Bang and become a laughing stock.

Weiyang Palace, Xuanshi Hall. All the ministers stood in sternly and waited for Emperor Jing to attend court.

Today's morning dynasty is very different from the past, with many new faces. Talents such as Dong Zhongshu, Shen Gong, Zhu Maichen, Yan Zhu, Gongsun Hong, Zhao Wan, and Wang Zang were finally listed in the court class.

Although they have not officially appointed Emperor Jing as an official, they are already in the court, which is a gratifying event.

In history, although they were unsatisfactory and criticized by future generations, their contributions to history were useless. They could be listed in the court, which shows that the Han Dynasty would undergo earth-shaking changes.

The Han Dynasty will move towards a prosperous situation of civil and military achievements!

These new recruits, their shifts are far behind, still make people feel refreshed at first glance.

Many court officials were looking at these newcomers from time to time, whispering and talking from time to time. What they discussed the most was what changes would happen in the court, who would be promoted, and who would be demoted.

Not long ago, Emperor Jing had just demoted Xuchang and Zhuang Qingzhai, two powerful people. Zhufu Yan and Zhao Guo emerged from another army and suddenly ascended to the top. With so many new people in the court today, the changes in the dynasty must be great, and there are many officials who have been demoted.

"The Emperor is here!"

Just as the ministers were talking, Chuntuo's sharp voice sounded, and the ministers quickly shut up and prepared to see the emperor.

Emperor Jing wore an imperial robe, a crown on the head, and his big sleeves floated over. He came to the imperial throne, sat down without a single seat, and glanced at the ministers.
