Chapter 23 The Understanding
Weiyang Palace, the Palace of Health.
Emperor Jing was wearing a Yanju suit, usually in deep clothes, with his head tilted, half lying and half leaning on the imperial throne, half squinting his eyes, extremely relaxed, humming the lyrics gently in his mouth.
Chuntuo stood beside him. He had been following Emperor Jing for decades and rarely saw Emperor Jing feel so relaxed. He knew that in this situation, if he had a few words of relaxed words to Emperor Jing, Emperor Jing would be even more happy and asked tentatively: "Master, why are you so happy?"
Emperor Jing closed his half-closed eyes and leaned back, making him feel more comfortable: "Chuntuo, what kind of pig do you think the butcher in the city slaughtered?"
Chuntuo never expected Emperor Jing to ask about the market, and was stunned: "Emperor, how can I know this?"
"Chuntuo, do you know how you will die? You will be stupid!" Emperor Jing finally opened his eyes with his closed eyes: "Of course the butcher slaughtered pigs, of course, he wants to slaughter fat pigs. It's okay if the pig is fat, so it's easy to slaughter it! But the pig doesn't know, and he thought the fatter the better!"
Chuntuo's face changed and he immediately returned to normal: "Your Majesty, you speak so hard, I'm confused." He had already heard something in Emperor Jing's words, but he just didn't dare to ask.
"You understand, how can I play this game of chess?" Emperor Jing's tone was a little higher.
The middle-aged man appeared at the gate of the hall with a smile on his face and his lips tightly pursed. He knew he was holding back his smile at first sight. Emperor Jing was so strange. With a wave of his hand, Chuntuo stepped back tactfully and asked, "Sir, why are you laughing?"
The man finally couldn't help but laughed out loud: "The emperor didn't know something, and something interesting happened just now. I've seen the emperor!"
"The gentleman is serious by nature and knowledgeable. Things that can make the gentleman laugh must be extremely interesting. Can you tell me about it?" Emperor Jing turned over and sat up, tidied up his clothes, and knelt on a short table.
The man sat down: "Even if the emperor doesn't say it, he must report it to the emperor. Just now, the news came, the Prime Minister's mother celebrated her birthday, and an interesting thing happened in the Zhou Dynasty that caused a sensation in Chang'an."
"Oh!" Emperor Jing was in high spirits, leaned forward, and Jianmei Yixuan: "What an interesting thing, tell me quickly." He picked up the teacup, tasted Qingming, and pricked up his ears to listen quietly.
The man laughed and held back his smile: "Master, this matter is related to Zhou Yang."
"Zhou Yang? What happened to him again?" Emperor Jing was even more interested.
"Emperor, Zhou Yang broke the left arm and right arm of King Liang..." The man's words interrupted Emperor Jing.
Emperor Jing frowned: "But Zhou Yang killed Gongsun Gui, Yang Sheng? If this is the case, how could the third brother be willing to give up? He will definitely report. In that case, even if I don't want to kill him, I have to kill him!"
"What the emperor said is reasonable, but Zhou Yang did not kill these two people, but humiliated them. This is the case..." The man said vividly, his tone was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Bor!" Emperor Jing was drinking tea, and couldn't help laughing. He sprayed the tea far away. If this person hadn't been avoiding quickly, he would have sprayed all over.
Emperor Jing hugged his stomach and smiled happily, his eyebrows dispersed, as if there were magpies resting. This man had known Emperor Jing for many years, but he had never seen Emperor Jing laugh so happily.
"This Zhou Yang has a lot of tricks!" Emperor Jing commented in a half-reproachful tone: "In this way, the third brother suffered a great loss. After giving so many gifts, he not only failed to achieve his goal, but also swept his face. He has not yet told anyone about this, so he can only suffer a silence."
The man kept nodding: "That's right! At first glance, this matter is not serious at all. The sword is biased, but it is actually very wonderful and wonderful! Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng and the other two have experienced this, and the trust of King Liang in them will be greatly reduced."
"Gongsun Gui is very good at conspiring, but this time he capsized the ship in the gutter. The evil ones will be beaten by the evil ones. This is right!" Emperor Jing's sword eyebrows scattered even more, turning upwards: "With these two people, the third brother's work will not be so smooth. I have been thinking about how to get rid of these two people, but it has done it for Zhou Yang, and he has made another great contribution for me!"
The man pondered for a moment and said, "The Emperor knows that King Liang is tough by nature, strong and resolute, and has a general idea, but he is not broad-minded and cannot suffer any loss. Although he suffered a silence in this matter, he cannot speak out clearly, but he will definitely take revenge on Zhou Yang."
"He wants to take revenge, how can I allow him to succeed?" Emperor Jing frowned and a shallow character named Sichuan appeared: "I just don't know what the third brother said in the letter?"
"Your Majesty, this matter has not been discovered yet." The man analyzed: "From Zhou Yafu's words and deeds, this letter is quite good. King Liang must have a backup plan. Maybe there will be rumors spread to the emperor soon."
"It's reasonable, it's reasonable!" Emperor Jing nodded in agreement.
"Report to the Emperor, the Prime Minister asks for a visit." Chuntuo's sharp voice sounded.
"Call him in." Emperor Jing said to the man: "What will Zhou Yafu come here for?"
The man shook his head: "Master, I don't know about this, but I'll know about it after seeing it. Master, I'll avoid it first." He dodged behind the screen and hid it.
Zhou Yafu came in, not as proud as usual, and raised his head and raised his chest, and was surprised to ask from a distance: "Zhou Yafu, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Yafu's face was filled with fear. Emperor Jing knew the most clearly how brave Zhou Yafu was. He was not afraid of the hundreds of thousands of Wu and Chu troops. In Emperor Jing's impression, Zhou Yafu had not been so scared, and he was curious and asked, "Zhou Yafu, why are you so scared? Tell me quickly."
"Emperor! I am wronged!" Zhou Yafu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Jing.
Emperor Jing quickly stepped forward and helped Zhou Yafu up: "Zhou Yafu, get up and talk."
"Please take a look at it." Zhou Yafu took out the letter from King Liang and presented it to Emperor Jing.
Emperor Jing took it and saw his hand trembled, and the letter almost fell to the ground. His eyes suddenly opened wide and he stared at Zhou Yafu for a long time. Zhou Yafu was so scared that he stared at him that his head hanged down, his voice was very low, and his confidence was a little lacking: "Emperor, I..."
"This is a letter from King Liang to you, right? I can recognize his handwriting." Emperor Jing waved his hand to stop Zhou Yafu: "I know this, you go back first."
"Your Majesty, my loyalty can express the sun and the moon, and I will never do anything ruthless..." Zhou Yafu knelt on the ground again, busy expressing his feelings.
"You go back!" Emperor Jing was still so salty and unpretentious.
His tone was calm, but he felt unquestionable. Zhou Yafu dared not say anything again, so he had to quit. If Emperor Jing scolded him, scolded him fiercely, and even beat him in anger, Zhou Yafu would admit it, it would be better. However, Emperor Jing was not as innocent as it was, which would make people unpredictable.
Zhou Yafu was so scared that he had mostly performed, but now he was really scared. What else is more shocking than the unpredictable Sacred Heart?
"Yang'er, Yang'er!" Zhou Yafu was chanting Zhou Yang's name in his heart and hurriedly retreated.
Looking at Zhou Yafu's back, Emperor Jing's brows frowned and sighed. The middle-aged man turned out from behind the screen, and Emperor Jing handed him the letter: "Sir, please see, the third brother is so vicious! He wants to kill Zhou Yafu."
When the man saw this, his hands trembled, and the letter almost fell to the ground: "Since the emperor understands the sinister intentions of King Liang, why not please comfort Zhou Yafu. Zhou Yafu is a rough and upright person, but he is loyal and will never do such a thing."
"I believe in Zhou Yafu's loyalty, and he will never do such a traitor. But this is also an opportunity." Emperor Jing's brows kept frowning.
The man sighed: "The emperor has good intentions, but I am afraid that Zhou Yafu may not understand the emperor's intentions. Zhou Yafu is a good general, but he is not good at political affairs. He knows nothing about the power and scheming that goes around."
"Zhou Yafu is a confused insect, and it's not that no one understands it. I think Zhou Yang should be able to understand it." Emperor Jing's eyes lit up and he immediately returned to normal.
"What if Zhou Yang doesn't understand?" The man also frowned: "What will the emperor do?"
