I am a ruler in troubled times

Deng Xian, Minister of the Honghe Temple, was not involved in the liquidation of the Mu family. Song Peiyu was still thinking about Deng's gold leaf paper, and offered an olive branch to Deng.

So it was rare for Song Peiyu to appear in Honglu Temple. Deng Xian, as Song Peiyu's immediate boss, greeted Song Peiyu with respect and respect, for fear that Song Peiyu would be unhappy in the slightest.

Lu Jihe watched the farce with a cup of tea not far away, and blocked the sneer from the corner of his mouth by the way.

He thought that Deng Xian's attitude towards him was not enough to be majestic at the peak, but he didn't expect that it was just because Deng Xian hadn't met Song Peiyu yet.

Before the envoys of Chu, Xiliang and Dongliang arrived in Xianyang, they all sent people to Xianyang to hand over the letter of credence in advance. Because of the situation and reason, it would not be rude to send people out to greet Xianyang.

On the day of welcoming the envoys from Chu State, Song Peiyu deliberately brought the eldest princess and the head of Huiyang county with him.

King Xiang of Chu State is still in the Western Regions, and the main envoy sent by Chu State this time is Princess Lingyun and Princess Lingyun's son-in-law.

The eldest princess and the head of Huiyang County were very happy to hear that they could see Princess Lingyun, and they started preparing the clothes and accessories to wear that day long in advance.

The eldest princess also acted like a baby and asked Chong Yi to open a private treasury for her, and took the hedging noodles from Chong Yi.

Chong Yi simply asked Eunuch An to send all the jewelry in his warehouse to the eldest princess. He didn't know whether it was because he loved the eldest princess or he didn't want the eldest princess to come to the East Palace to disturb him again.

Most of the envoys from Chu State this time were people who had been to Zhao State last time. There was only one person who caught Song Peiyu's eyes. Princess Lingyun said that he was her nephew.

Song Peiyu looked at her nephew, who was older than her aunt, and already had some guesses about the identity of this little county king.

Sure enough, he was the son of the prince of Chu.

Since Zhao State included Wei County in its territory, Chu State's attitude towards friendly exchanges with Zhao State became more and more positive.

After the envoys of Chu State left last time, Emperor Yonghe decreed that some of the residences outside the palace should be refurbished as a place to entertain envoys from various countries, which can be used just now.

The son-in-law and the king of the small county lived in a place dedicated to entertaining envoys, while Princess Lingyun was taken to the eldest princess' mansion by the eldest princess and the head of Huiyang County.

After the initial conversation, Song Peiyu felt that the envoys of Chu State came this time simply to congratulate Emperor Yonghe on his birthday and to maintain the friendly relationship between the two countries.

Compared with Chu, an old friend, Song Peiyu was still more concerned about the purpose of the envoys sent by Xiliang and Dongliang.

As early as when Zhao State completely turned Weiguo into Weijun, Song Peiyu expected the day when Dongliang would be subdued, but Song Peiyu did not expect that Xiliang would lose his composure so early.

Coincidentally, the envoys from the Eastern Liang Dynasty and the Western Liang Dynasty arrived in Xianyang on the same day.

Song Peiyu thought for a while that his 'love-hate relationship' with Lu Jihe and Prince Rui of Liangzhou brought Deng Xian out of the city.

A visitor is a guest, and they can't let the Dongliang envoys just turn around and leave as soon as they arrive at the gate of Xianyang.

The Dongliang envoys are far stronger than Song Peiyu imagined. The Dongliang envoys are mainly Prince Rui's son. When Deng Xian introduced the two young ministers of Honglu Temple to him with a smile, the smile of Prince Rui froze for a short time. After a while, the original smile was restored.

Both Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe didn't want to bear the charge of driving Dongliang envoys away, so they refused to speak easily, and stood behind Deng Xian like two beautiful pillars.

Prince Rui and Deng Xian had two rounds of courteous words, his face became more and more stiff, and he couldn't help hinting, "When I was in Liangzhou, I always heard people talk about the prosperity and prosperity of Xianyang. Can't wait to see Xianyang City..."

Suddenly, there was an urgent sound of horseshoes in the distance, and the sound became louder and louder.

Prince Rui subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

The first thing that catches the eye is a big "beam" character.

Prince Rui's son looked at the very familiar word, his eyes changed from surprise to disbelief and then to anger, he immediately turned his head and asked Deng Xian, "Are you waiting for him?"

Deng Xian was a little guilty, this was Prince Rui's heir, and his status in Prince Rui's territory was no different from that of Zhao Guo's prince.

He also felt that it was too much to receive envoys from Dongliang and Xiliang together.

Even if the people at Honglu Temple were divided into two groups, whoever arrived first would be brought into Xianyang first, and the rest would wait for those who arrived later.

Sensing the two gazes behind him, the guilty conscience on Deng Xian's face immediately turned into a kind smile, "I just received the news that the Xiliang envoys also arrived in Xianyang today. I have heard that Dongliang and Xiliang have close contacts. I want to come to you... ...do you mind entering the city together?"

He could not afford to offend Prince Rui's son, let alone the two behind him.

If one had to make a choice, then offend Prince Rui's son.

While speaking, the envoys from Xiliang had already arrived at the end, the leader was a strong man with big arms and round waist, his facial features were very similar to that of Prince Rui's son, who was wearing brocade robes, but he was wearing light armor.

Prince Liang's eyes moved from Song Peiyu and others to Prince Rui, and he spoke with undisguised dislike, "Why are you here?"

Prince Rui's son sneered again and again, "This is not Xiliang, why can't I be here?"

Prince Liang shook his head, got off his horse, and looked at Deng Xian and Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe behind Deng Xian who were nervous, as if they were afraid that they would fight on the spot if they disagreed.

Prince Liang had already expressed with actions that he did not want to talk to Prince Rui, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he reached out to break Prince Liang's shoulder, "Lin Huo, why are you still as ignorant as you were when you were a child? I don’t apologize for my mistakes, I just want to fool around without talking.”

"what!"

A shrill scream rang out.

Just about to speak, Song Peiyu, who brought the envoys from the Eastern Liang Dynasty and the Western Liang Dynasty into Xianyang, silently took two steps back.

Prince Liang twisted Prince Rui's arm, and said with a smirk, "A dog can't change eating shit, you can't change that you owe a beating, I will help you!"

How could it be possible that the people brought by Prince Rui watched helplessly as Prince Rui was beaten by Prince Liang, and when they saw this, they immediately wanted to step forward to stop Prince Liang, so the people brought by Prince Liang would naturally stop them.

As soon as the two sides met each other, the smell of gunpowder was full of gunpowder, and they would fight if they disagreed.

Lu Jihe snorted lightly, and kicked Deng Xian's calf quietly from behind.

It's not too late to separate them before they completely lose their minds.

However, Lu Jihe did not expect that because of his light movements, Deng Xian would directly fall to the ground, and kneel down towards Prince Liang and Prince Rui who were about to have their swords drawn.

Not to mention Lu Jihe and Song Peiyu, even the sons of Prince Liang and Prince Rui who were still confronting each other were a little dumbfounded. The Liangzhou army who were about to wrestle with each other stopped their movements one after another, looking at Deng who was kneeling on the ground inexplicably. Significantly.

There are more than 500 people here, but the atmosphere is frighteningly stagnant.

Even Song Peiyu couldn't think of what to say at this time to resolve the embarrassment, so he could only stand more straight, so that the officials of Honglu Temple behind him would not kneel when they saw the minister of Honglu Temple kneeling.

Prince Liang let go of the hand that was twisting Prince Rui's arm, turned around to help Deng Xian, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm just kidding with Lin Sheng, don't be afraid."

Deng Xian trembled even more after hearing this.

He was afraid of Prince Liang and Prince Rui before, but now he is even more afraid of Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe who are lingering at him with their eyes.

Did he kneel down and kill his Honglu Temple Minister?

Because the minister of Honglu Temple was 'frightened', only the two young ministers could entertain Prince Liang's son and Prince Rui's son next.

Lu Jihe made a mistake first, he didn't have the face to compete with Song Peiyu for an easier job, so he could only suppress his anger towards Deng Xian to find Prince Rui's son.

It just so happened that Prince Rui's son had also suffered a disadvantage from Prince Liang's, and he was full of displeasure, but he knew that he had to bow his head under the eaves and could only bear with it temporarily.

As soon as the two of them got together, they showed almost identical smiles.

In contrast, Song Peiyu's conversation with Prince Liang was much more pleasant.

He found that Prince Liang's son had, in a sense, revealed the purpose of his trip.

Apart from expressing obvious dislike towards Prince Rui, and the obvious disappointment and dissatisfaction on his face when he learned that he lived next door to Prince Rui, Prince Liang was very easy to talk to.

In order to avoid any more gang fights between Prince Liang and Prince Rui, after Song Peiyu left the place where the two of them were temporarily staying, he specially arranged ten ranks in the Eastern Palace to be near the residences of Prince Liang and Prince Rui. In order to pull the frame at any time.

Before it was dark, Deng Xian, the Minister of Honglu Temple, received the imperial edict from Emperor Yonghe that he was allowed to go home to recuperate. Against Lu Jihe's cold eyes, he packed up his things and left Honglu Temple to go home to recuperate.

"He still has the nerve to be wronged? The envoys from Shuangliang came to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, and Deng Xian, as His Majesty's minister, actually knelt down to the foreign minister?" When they arrived at the East Palace, Lu Jihe was still full of anger when he mentioned the day's events.

Song Peiyu shot Lu Jihe a glance, and said unceremoniously, "You know that he is timid, why are you scaring him? Without your kick, do you think he would dare to kneel?"

Lu Jihe heard that instead of feeling guilty, he became even more angry, "Trash!"

Didn't he just want to remind that trash, stand up and organize the overall situation quickly, and don't let Prince Liang and Prince Rui really fight.

Afraid of being affected by these two angry people, Luo Yong would rather sit next to Chong Yi, but after sitting down, he found that everyone in the room, including Chong Yi, turned their heads and looked at him.

Because everyone unanimously decided to eat hot pot, they ate in the side hall that specializes in hot pot.

There are long tables here that can only sit two people, just enough to put a mandarin duck pot and copper stove on the table and enough dishes for two people.

The long tables surrounded each other, neither delaying their talking nor eating.

Chong Yi had been waiting here a long time ago when he had been doing nothing in the Eastern Palace all day.

The others had to go on duty, and at most they used the excuse of going to the East Palace to greet the crown prince and leave earlier.

Bo Yang and Wei Zhiyuan, who came first, sat at the other long table to the left and right of Chongyi very consciously, thinking that they would be able to sit down when Song Peiyu, Lu Jihe, and Luo Yong arrived.

They didn't expect that Luo Yong's behavior was as good as his name, all thanks to the word 'courage'.

Luo Yong blinked blankly and innocently, looking at what he was doing, wasn't it Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe who were arguing?

Just let these two people sit facing each other, and they can see each other when they look up, so that they can have a good argument.

Wei Zhiyuan coughed lightly, and waved to Luo Yong who didn't know he was being rejected, "Brother Luo, come sit here, it's...cool."

Luo Yong gave Wei Zhiyuan a strange look, pointed at Bingjian behind him and said, "It's okay, it's cooler here!"

Wei Zhiyuan and Bo Yang looked at each other, then lowered their heads silently.

He tried his best to throw the rope to Luo Yong, but Luo Yong cut the rope himself.

Chong Yi reached out and knocked on the table, saying concisely, "Go and sit at Wei Zhiyuan's."

Luo Yong immediately turned his head to look at Chong Yi, his face full of exaggerated grievances, "This is not exactly six seats, and you didn't plan to sit by yourself."

Lu Jihe suddenly stopped being angry. As a smart person, he had to get used to the existence of idiots.

If it weren't for these idiots, he wouldn't be able to discover that he was a smart person.

After finding a special way to comfort himself, Lu Jihe swept away the anger and depression on his face, went to the vacant seat next to Bo Yang refreshedly, and observed the subsequent development of this farce with great interest.

As the other party involved, Song Peiyu felt that he was more embarrassing than Luo Yong.

It's just a place to eat hot pot, so how can it be so particular?

Song Peiyu gave Chong Yi a warning look, and signaled Chong Yi not to look for trouble, and went to the vacant seat beside Wei Zhiyuan.

Before Song Peiyu sat down completely, Chong Yi had already got up from his original seat, knocked Luo Yong's head lightly and softly, walked up to Wei Zhiyuan and said in a low voice, "Go and sit over there."

Wei Zhiyuan didn't want to go, but there is always a main seat when eating.

When these people get together, Chong Yi is a well-deserved master. What is it that he sits in the past?

It's okay, anyway, the prince has the final say.

It is only natural that he should sit wherever the prince asked him to sit.

Wei Zhiyuan had no choice but to get up and change seats, and when he passed Luo Yong who was full of bewilderment, he didn't get angry and rubbed on Luo Yong's back.

idiot!

Luo Yong, who got hit for no reason, saw Chong Yi and Song Peiyu sitting together, and suddenly realized, he pointed in the direction of the two of them, "You want to sit with Song Peiyu, why didn't you tell me earlier, you said I don't... umm Mmm!"

After all, Wei Zhiyuan still couldn't bear to see Luo Yong being assassinated because he was too stupid, so he tightly covered Luo Yong's mouth against Song Peiyu's 'kind' eyes.

With Luo Yong's act of sacrificing himself to make it easy for others, the dull atmosphere caused by Deng Xian's stupidity immediately dissipated completely.

This year is the [-]th birthday of Emperor Yonghe, which is not only the whole birthday, but also the first birthday of Emperor Yonghe after Zhao Guo took Weiguo and turned it into Weijun.

Before receiving the news that the envoys of Chu and Shuangliang were going to celebrate his birthday, the scale of Xianyang's preparations for Emperor Yonghe's birthday this year was the largest since Emperor Yonghe proclaimed himself emperor.

The birthday banquet was hosted by the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple, and the East Palace also contributed to it, and even ordered many things to be specially burned by the Qihuo City and sent back to Xianyang.

When the Mu family was investigated before, Wei Zhong was also implicated.

Because Wei Zhong was cautious, he did not leave any evidence, and he maintained a good relationship with other old ministries of Emperor Yonghe, and he also publicly said many times that he was afraid that all birds would be exhausted.

Although the other old ministries of Emperor Yonghe didn't take Wei Zhong's words to heart, they also sympathized with Wei Zhong who was repeatedly punished by Emperor Yonghe for his "mistakes". Everyone else will leave.

Dealing with Wei Zhong rashly without sufficient evidence will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the other old ministries of Emperor Yonghe, and they may have the idea of ​​harming others.

Most importantly, judging from the current situation, leaving Wei Zhong to continue to secretly investigate the line behind Wei Zhong is far more profitable than dealing with Wei Zhong now.

Therefore, in the eyes of most people, Wei Zhong was extremely unlucky, and was once again drawn into something that he had nothing to do with him.

As for Wei Zhiyuan... As early as a few years ago, when Chong Yi was assassinated and disappeared in Huashan, Emperor Yonghe quietly revealed a lot of information to Wei Zhiyuan.

For example, his real life experience, and even who his real biological father is.

There was also the pot of sweet soup that Chong Yi insisted was poisonous back then, and it could also be found that it had something to do with Wei Zhong.

Emperor Yonghe also deliberately let Wei Zhiyuan discover the weirdness of "Wei Zhong" just right, and by the way, lead the clues of "Sweet Soup" and how to deal with the accompanying dark guards quietly to Wei Zhong.

At least so far, Wei Zhiyuan's reaction has satisfied Emperor Yonghe, so he can continue to walk freely in the East Palace, and was not sent to some remote place to eat dirt at will by Emperor Yonghe.

It was also the first time that Song Peiyu came back from Qihuo City, and found that Wei Zhiyuan's behavior had changed a lot unconsciously, so she asked Song Jinyu specifically to find out about these things.

Among the people who are closely monitoring Wei Zhong now is Wei Zhiyuan.

Wei Zhiyuan would also inquire about Wei Zhong's news from General Jianyuan's wife, and then secretly tell the people of Emperor Yonghe.

Wei Zhong would also think that he would secretly inquire about news from Wei Zhiyuan, but unfortunately the information he inquired about was what Emperor Yonghe wanted him to know.

In this regard, Song Peiyu has nothing to say except lamenting that the world is changing.

He trusts Chong Yi, as long as Chong Yi feels that Wei Zhiyuan is trustworthy in not lying, he is willing to believe that Wei Zhiyuan is completely different from the Wei Zhiyuan in the book.

Wei Zhong was fine, and Wei Zhiyuan was not involved.

It just so happened that among the people in Donggong Elementary School, except Sheng Tairan and Ping Zhang who stayed in Wei County, Bo Yang had an embarrassing status, Wei Zhiyuan had the most free time, and happened to be able to connect with Zhan Shifu to help prepare for the birthday of Emperor Yonghe.

So in the first half of eating hot pot, Wei Zhiyuan was talking most of the time, while the others were eating while listening.

Due to the sudden arrival of the envoys from Chu and Shuangliang, many details on the day of the birthday banquet had to be changed. After the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple proposed ideas, they had to be approved by the East Palace.

Chong Yi has never been interested in these things, he was able to hunt a particularly powerful tiger in advance and come back, and he is going to give the complete tiger skin as a birthday gift to Emperor Yonghe, which is already a sign of extra care.

The tiger skin is still being processed, and the tiger bones have been sent to the Palace of Qinzheng and Prince Su's Mansion, and some were also sent to the Mansion of the Elder Princess.

So much so that almost the entire court knew in advance what gifts the East Palace Prince had prepared for Emperor Yonghe, and they added some unusual furs to the gift list, like rabbits, gray foxes and the like.

They also gave furs, which were far inferior to the tiger skins given by the prince, which could better set off the prince's bravery and pure filial piety.

As long as the crown prince is well, His Majesty will be happy!

Even Mrs. Song was not exempt, and added a few gray wolf skins at the end of the gift list.

At the same time, it was sent to the Song Mansion, but the rarer snow wolf skin was sent to Tianhuju.

Song Peiyu felt that this color matched Chongyi's complexion very well, so he asked people to move the snow wolf skin to Chongyi's favorite place to pass the time in the Nuan Pavilion.

After everyone had almost finished eating, Wei Zhiyuan finished the specific process drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple and Zhan Shifu, and he didn't even bother to eat the hot pot, so he immediately went to serve ice water to moisten his throat.

Song Peiyu thought for a while, then looked at Chong Yi with a questioning gaze, "How about letting King Anping sit between Prince Liang's son and Prince Rui's son? Fight at the birthday banquet."

Ever since receiving the news that Shuangliang's envoys were coming to Zhao to celebrate Emperor Yonghe's birthday, Song Peiyu was thinking about how to make Prince Liang's son and Prince Rui's son fight in Xianyang.

Only in this way can Zhao Guo take advantage of the long-standing conflict between Shuangliang to make Shuangliang more dependent on Zhao Guo.

But Song Peiyu absolutely didn't want to see people from Shuangliang ruin Zhao Guo's long-prepared birthday for Emperor Yonghe.

Poor King Anping, who is happily fighting cocks in the mansion bestowed by Emperor Yonghe, doesn't know that after he escaped from Weiguo completely, he still can't escape the yin and yang and tit for tat.

After listening to Song Peiyu's proposal, Chong Yi immediately nodded, "Okay."

The speed made Song Peiyu suspect that Chong Yi didn't listen to what he said at all.

Song Peiyu narrowed her eyes, and suddenly said at a faster speed, "You have eaten too much sugar recently, you should take it easy, don't eat it for the next ten days, and move the sugar jar to my room."

Chong Yi's hand, which was picking up vegetables for Song Peiyu, froze suddenly.

"...No more?"

Song Peiyu nodded absent-mindedly, and after making sure that Chong Yi had listened carefully to what he said, she immediately put her mind on other matters.

On the other side, the envoys from Shuangliang, who Song Peiyu was thinking about, were also thinking about their thoughts while eating the hot pot Zhao Guo entertained them.

Their concern was the Emperor Yonghe who lived next door to the monk who had never met.

Especially Prince Rui who was in a hurry and didn't enter the city before Prince Liang, even biting meat and vegetables like enemies.

Back then when King Rui of Liangzhou led an army to attack the defense of Lian County in Weiguo, it happened that before Chong Yi left Lian County, he challenged Prince Rui to the battle.

Not only did they nail Prince Rui's legs to the ground, but they also led three thousand Zhao troops in pursuit, causing fifty thousand Dongliang troops to break up and flee.

Prince Rui, who was in a hurry to escape, had to have his calf cut off and stay in Lian County forever.

Chong Yi recovered nearly [-] Dongliang prisoners, but worried about how to arrange them.

Staying in Lian County, the number of Dongliang military prisoners who were several times larger than that of Zhao Jun was too great a threat to Lian County, which was not completely stable, and the daily consumption was a huge number.

And they can't let these Eastern Liang army prisoners go for nothing. Wouldn't this tell Prince Rui that the Zhao army in Lian County is not enough, if you want to fight, don't miss the opportunity.

In the end, it was Song Peiyu who came up with an idea, and directly recruited these prisoners into the Zhao army, and led them to attack Wei Jing.He also promised these Dongliang military prisoners that if they accumulated military merits to a certain extent in the process of attacking Weijing, they would be released back to Dongliang when Weijing was broken.

At the same time, Song Peiyu also put on Prince Rui's side, intentionally releasing news, making Prince Rui think that Chong Yi had murdered nearly [-] Dongliang Army prisoners, and took the initiative to spread the news to surrounding countries.

Of course, the neighboring countries would not think that this was the news from the Zhao country, they all thought that King Rui of Liangzhou had lost the battle and had no choice but to scold Chong Yi everywhere to vent his anger.

Although the process of breaking through Weijing was incredibly smooth and did not use these Dongliang military prisoners, these Dongliang military prisoners were not wasted.

These Dongliang military prisoners were of great use when repairing city walls and concrete roads in the counties of Wei County.

Song Peiyu also kept his promise, as long as they complete the assigned work, they will be sent back to Dongliang.

Nearly 3 people returned to Dongliang one after another. Of course, it could not be done quietly. The surrounding countries immediately received the news.

All the [-] Dongliang soldiers who were killed by the crown prince of Zhao Guo had their corpses faked.

This made Prince Rui's criticism of Weiguo's disastrous defeat after dispatching troops, and the deteriorating situation after losing a calf even worse.

With Prince Rui's narrow-mindedness, perhaps even in his dreams, he would crush Chong Yi, Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe to ashes.

However, the reality that Prince Rui needs to face is as cruel as his missing calf.

Since Zhao State completely took over Wei State, to the west of Dongliang is the unshakable Xiliang, to the south is Chu State, which has been friendly with Xiliang for several years, and to the north and east is Zhao State, which has just reached an alliance with Chu State.

Prince Rui's territory in Liangzhou was completely surrounded, and if he wanted to communicate with other places, he had to look at the winks of these people.

Not only did Prince Rui not dare to hold grudges, but he also worried that Zhao Guo would hold grudges.

Even if Zhao Guo does not hold grudges, there is no guarantee that Zhao Guoguo will not listen to Xi Liang's bewitching and agree to help Xi Liang conquer Dong Liang.

Prince Rui of Liangzhou originally wanted to send a heavy gift to Zhao Guo to ease the relationship between each other, and when the time is right, let the son go to Zhao Guo to resolve the previous grievances.

Although he is very reluctant to admit it, the fact is that in any confrontation at the beginning, the one who suffered in the end was Prince Rui.

Zhao Guo should... not hold grudges?

Enduring the pain in his heart, Prince Rui opened the storeroom and prepared an extraordinarily luxurious gift for Emperor Yonghe's birthday.

Looking at the many years of treasures that were about to leave him, Prince Rui's heartache hadn't healed yet, and he heard that Xi Liang had also prepared a great gift for Emperor Yonghe's birthday, and planned to have Prince Liang's son personally celebrate Zhao Guoyong and Emperor Yonghe's birthday.

Prince Rui immediately smashed the crutch in his hand, and ordered people to bring the prince.

What Prince Rui and Shi Zi said was very clear.

He was not sure whether Zhao Guo still hated him, and whether he would go to Zhao Guo to celebrate Yonghe Emperor's birthday because of the past grievances, but the son had to go to Xianyang to celebrate Yonghe Emperor's birthday.

Dongliang must not fall behind West Liang.

Otherwise, those waiting for Dongliang might be destroyed.

Prince Rui's son recalled his father's ardent expectations when he left Liangzhou, as well as the many preparations made by his father and counselors for his trip, and suddenly felt that the surging pressure almost crushed him.

He felt that Zhao Guo must be biased towards Xiliang, otherwise he would not turn a blind eye when Lin Huo attacked him.

Moreover, when he arrived in Xianyang, the Minister of Zhao Guohonghe Temple only bowed to him, but when Lin Huo arrived, the Minister of Zhao Guohonghe Temple was willing to kneel down.

Can't wait for Emperor Yonghe's birthday to end, he will go to visit King Zhao Guosu tomorrow, he must hug Zhao Guo's thigh before Zhao Guo and Xiliang reach a consensus!

Prince Liang next door was also thinking about the day.

He has completely different ideas from Prince Rui's.

Not only Prince Rui was afraid that Zhao Guoguo would favor King Liang, but Liang Wang was also afraid that Zhao Guoguo would favor Prince Rui.

Although the current situation in Liangzhou is that the two Liangzhous are divided into Liangzhou, the King of Liang has always believed that Xiliang is the orthodox Liangzhou, and Dongliang will definitely not be able to compete with Xiliang.

The news that Zhao Guo took Wei Guo with thunderous momentum and then defeated King Rui with a small number of victories, immediately made Liang Wang vigilant.

If he had known that Zhao Jun was so brave, the Prince of Zhao would have been a natural general.

Back then when King Chu Guoxiang came to him and told him to help hold Prince Rui back, he would definitely not help.

Now Zhao Chu has a closer relationship, tightly enclosing Liangzhou in the westernmost part of Kyushu.

Liang Wang replaced himself as Zhao Guoyong and Emperor, and it was difficult for Zhao Guo to resist the idea of ​​attacking Liangzhou when Zhao Guo had spare power and a strong army.

If he were Emperor Yonghe, he would first help Dongliang take down Xiliang and completely destroy the orthodoxy of Liangzhou.

Then when Xiliang was gone and Dangxiang was unscrupulous, Dongliang was allowed to be suppressed by Dangxiang.

Finally, he found an excuse to send troops to completely occupy Liangzhou on the grounds of helping Liangzhou expel the party.

It's a pity that King Liang didn't have the chance to regret it.

He could only try his best to remedy it before Zhao Guo attacked Liangzhou.

The State of Zhao has already captured the State of Wei. If it attacks other places in a short period of time, it will inevitably put the neighbors at risk and raise the greatest vigilance against the State of Zhao.

King Liang decided to take the initiative to surrender to Zhao Guo. If Zhao Guo could help him regain Dongliang, he would submit a letter of surrender to Zhao Guo. Anyway, the title he inherited from his father was the prince, and there was no such thing as a shameful saying of descending to the emperor as king.

His surrender must be different from that trash of King Anping of the State of Wei. He can accept Zhao Guo to send civil officials to govern Liangzhou, but he will not give up military power.

King Liang felt that this was an excellent idea, which happened to be to the extent that both he and Emperor Yonghe took half a step back and both could accept it.

But there is a premise for this, that is, Zhao Guoyong and Emperor have not been persuaded by his stupid brother, thinking that they can destroy the orthodoxy of Liangzhou first, and then use foreigners to completely take down Liangzhou.

Therefore, King Liang was very anxious, and finally waited until the time when Emperor Yonghe lived forever, and immediately prepared a generous gift, and sent his son to Xianyang, just to reach a consensus with Zhao Guo before King Liang.

Prince Liang's son recalled what happened during the day, but felt that something was wrong.

He was already in a hurry, and he kept going day and night, but he still arrived in Xianyang later than Prince Liang's son.

Before leaving Liangzhou, Prince Liang's son had heard that the relationship between Prince Rui and Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe, the close ministers of Prince Zhao, was very bad.

After meeting Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe today, Prince Liang felt that the relationship between Prince Rui, Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe was not as bad as he imagined.

He deliberately fought with Lin Sheng in front of the people of Zhao Guohonglu Temple, just to see the reaction of Zhao Guohonglu Temple.

Just happened to see Lu Jihe secretly kicking Honglu Temple Minister, making Honglu Temple Minister kneel on the ground to plead for Lin Sheng.

Later, when Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe entertained him and Lin Sheng respectively, they looked friendly and did not seem to have any enmity at all.

Could it be that what the father was most worried about happened, Dongliang had already reached a consensus with Zhao Guo before Xiliang?

Prince Liang raised his neck violently and drank the strong wine in the cup.

He can't sit still!

It is necessary to see the sincerity of Xiliang before Zhao Guo fully agrees to Dongliang.

Tomorrow he will go to see His Royal Highness King Su.

Because of the unexplainable tacit understanding between Prince Rui and Prince Liang, Song Peiyu left the court meeting the next day. As soon as he arrived at Honglu Temple, he heard someone come to report that Prince Rui and Prince Liang were at the grand meeting of Prince Su's mansion. There was a fight at the door.

Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe immediately rushed to King Su's mansion to fight.

Fortunately, King Su was skilled in bowing and horses, even if he was frightened, the horses were only scratched with oily skin, and there was no bleeding.

Prince Rui's son and Prince Liang's son were both unwilling to bear the charge of shocking King Su. Due to their identities, they couldn't say much, but none of the envoys they brought with them were vegetarians. assassin.

Even Song Peiyu, who wanted to use the contradiction between the two beams to seek greater benefits for Zhao Guo at the beginning, felt very headache when he saw the random scene in front of King Su's mansion.

In the end, Song Peiyu took Prince Liang's son away and left Prince Rui's son in Su Wang's mansion.

At the beginning, Prince Liang's son was still unwilling to hear Song Peiyu persuade him to leave, until Song Peiyu said that he would take him to see Chong Yi, his attitude changed drastically, and he left with Song Peiyu happily.

Prince Rui's ears moved, and he instinctively wanted to interrupt, but he closed his mouth after seeing Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe.

Well, let that idiot go.

There is not a single good person in the East Palace!

Sooner or later, that idiot will be cheated until there is not even a bone left.

As long as he can hug King Su's thigh tightly, He Chou can't impress Emperor Yonghe.

From the respectful attitude of Prince Liang's son when he faced Chong Yi, Song Peiyu confirmed once again that Prince Liang's intention to come must be for Zhao Guo.

Sure enough, before he could sit down and say a few words, Prince Liang impatiently took out his bargaining chip like King Xiang of Chu who came to Zhao for the first time.

King Liang is willing to return to Zhao State, but the condition is that Zhao State will help Xiliang recover Dongliang.

Song Peiyu lowered his eyelids to cover up the horror in his eyes. When Prince Liang looked over, he had regained his usual composure, but there was just the right amount of surprise on his face.

Chong Yi was really not interested in Liang Wang Shizi's words, his expression did not change at all, his face was still blank and he was obviously distracted.

Seeing the expressions of Song Peiyu and Chong Yi, Prince Liang's son suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

He even suspected that Crown Prince Zhao didn't hear what he said at all, and had the urge to repeat what he had said just now, close to Crown Prince Zhao's ear.

Prince Liang's son walked into the East Palace full of confidence, and walked out of the East Palace with a worried face.

Crown Prince Zhao didn't appear very excited, nor did he immediately agree to the conditions proposed by his father, but just told him that he would be invited to the East Palace as a guest after consulting Emperor Yonghe.

Before he completely stepped out of the East Palace, Prince Liang began to feel uncomfortable.

I can't wait to close my eyes and open them again to hear Zhao Guo's affirmative reply.

Sending off the Prince Liang who was full of worries, Song Peiyu was just about to return to the East Palace when he saw Song Jinyu coming out of the Palace of Qinzheng.

"Brother?" Song Peiyu glanced at the sky, only to realize that dusk was approaching.

Song Jinyu nodded, his eyes stayed on Song Peiyu's court clothes for a second longer, and he naturally reached out his hand to hold Song Peiyu's wrist, "I'm done today, and I'm about to go home. Since you're fine, go back with me."

Song Peiyu was dragged forward by Song Jinyu and walked two steps forward before blinking her eyes and looking back at the East Palace.

It's true that he's fine today, but... when he went out to see off Prince Liang's son just now, he had already promised Chong Yi that he would stay in the East Palace to accompany Chong Yi for dinner.

It's strange to say that recently I always meet my eldest brother between Qinzheng Hall and the East Palace, and most likely it is when my eldest brother is preparing to go home.

Song Peiyu thought about it.

Yesterday when the elder brother was about to go home, Zimo asked him if he would go home. He said that there was a small banquet in the East Palace, Lu Jihe, Luo Yong and others were there, and he would go directly to the court from the East Palace tomorrow.

The day before yesterday, he accompanied Chong Yi to the ten rate camp in the suburbs of Beijing. When he was returning to the palace, he happened to meet his elder brother who was about to go home on the palace road. The elder brother also asked him if he wanted to go back together. He couldn't resist Chong Yi's focused gaze. The elder brother was rejected on the pretext of official duties.

The day before yesterday...

It seems that he hasn't been home for three or four days, and during these three or four days, the elder brother has asked him every day if he wants to go home together.

Thinking of this, Song Peiyu suddenly felt a little guilty.

Finally, looking back at the gate of the East Palace, Song Peiyu took the initiative to take Song Jinyu's arm, and the two brothers were chatting, and walked to the place where the carriage was parked.

Eunuch An, who came out with Song Peiyu to send off Prince Liang's son, stretched out his hand, and was about to remind Song Peiyu that he had promised to accompany Chongyi for dinner, but before he could say anything, he happened to meet Uncle Yunyang's deep gaze.

Eunuch An put his hand down immediately.

After realizing Chong Yi and Song Peiyu's little secret, he always felt guilty when facing Uncle Yunyang.

Laifu entered the door with a fruit plate, and immediately felt Chongyi's gaze.

He glanced at the disappointment in Chong Yi's eyes, and asked cautiously, "Master Song is gone?"

"Mmm," Chong Yi casually responded, and glanced at the door again, with an almost invisible dislike in his tone, "Send Prince Liang out."

Laifu scratched his head and wondered, "I should have come back a long time ago, could it be that I was stumbled by something?"

Eunuch An, who happened to enter the door, heard this, and quickly told Chong Yi, "Master Song is not coming back, he just met Uncle Yunyang at the door, and he has gone home with Uncle Yunyang."
