The reincarnation of transmigration is king

The Imperial Garden is on the east side of Cheng'en Palace. The two places are very close to each other, almost close together. If you look out from the back wall of Cheng'en Palace, you can see the blooming flowers in the Imperial Garden.

Spring in Beimang comes later than Dongli, and the flowering period is about a month later than Dongli. At this time, the tea and moose flowers in Dongli are about to wither, but Beimang is the time when all flowers are in full bloom.

The imperial garden is full of purples and reds. Around the corridor, clusters of peonies bloom just right, and the fragrance of the flowers is overflowing, which can be smelled from a long distance.Beimang ruled the country with martial arts, and attached great importance to riding and shooting. Next to the imperial garden is the school field.The school field is huge, and horse racing is not a problem. There is a row of weapon racks on the side of the school field, and eighteen kinds of weapons are fully displayed on it.

Most of Dongli's generals are military officers. Instead of staring at the delicate flowers and sighing at the wind and moon in the imperial garden, they want to make gestures in the school martial arts field next to them, loosening their muscles and bones.

All the ministers from Bei Mang had arrived long ago, and Ning Muxin came forward to greet him with a smile on his face, and bowed to Luo Ming to salute.

Luo Ming hurriedly gave him a hand, and said, "Excuse me!"

Ning Muxin introduced all the Dongli generals, from the princes of Beimang to the civil servants and generals in the court, they met them one by one.

Brother Shi Fangqing was also among them, they still looked arrogant, Luo Ming didn't talk to them too much, he nodded and went to talk to the other princes.

They were exchanging polite greetings when suddenly drums and music blared, Shi Hongsheng led Empress Xiao Shi and Concubine Ma into the imperial garden.

The minister of Bei Mang hurriedly picked him up, knelt down and saluted, and shouted long live.

Shi Hongsheng shouted: "Pingshen!"

When everyone was seated, the sound of silk and bamboo came, and the banquet officially began.

With a ruddy complexion, Shi Hongsheng strode forward, walked up to the high platform first, and sat down in the middle.Xiao Shi and Ma Guifei followed closely behind, Xiao Shi sat on Shi Hongsheng's left side, Ma Guifei held a baby in her arms, and sat at Shi Hongsheng's lower right hand.

Xiao has a high nose and deep eyes, rich makeup, beaded emerald hair, a yellow peony pattern on his forehead, and a purple-red robe, elegant and luxurious.Compared with Mrs. Xiao, Concubine Ma is much more plain and low-key, with a goose-yellow skirt, thin makeup powder, no head jewelry on her head, only a red gold hairpin, and two white jade earrings hanging around her ears. It neither steals the queen's limelight, but also looks delicate and elegant.

Concubine Ma has lowered her head since she came in, and patted the child in her arms lightly, as if to comfort him to sleep.This little boy is the No. 17 son of Shi Hongsheng, the current prince of Beimang.The little baby is pink and sculpted, looking around curiously with his big eyes open, his mother coaxes him to sleep, how can he sleep, it’s so lively, he can’t fall asleep without saying anything, he grinned and giggled Twice, he opened his mouth and shouted vaguely: "Daddy!"

Shi Hongsheng loves this child very much, when he heard the child's soft voice, he immediately opened his arms and said to Concubine Ma: "Give it to me!"

Concubine Ma bowed her head and said nothing, hugged the child tightly, and refused to let go. Shi Hongsheng was furious, and kicked it, right on the chair that Concubine Ma was sitting on, shaking the chair violently, Concubine Ma stood up quickly , trembling all over, tremblingly handed the child over.

Xiao said with a smile: "My sister is too careful. The emperor is the prince's father, so will he harm him? When I gave birth to Yi'er, the emperor didn't love him so much. It's my sister who is favored, and the emperor is so biased." It hurts the prince."

Xiao's words were not without jealousy, and made fun of a few words, Concubine Ma did not dare to speak back, her eyes were only on the child.Secret hatred in his heart: Shi Hongsheng doesn't love children, but because her child has just turned one year old and is easier to manipulate than other adult sons, he made this child the crown prince and pushed him to the forefront, causing her to be in fear all day long. I'm afraid that someone will secretly harm their mother and child, even the nurses can't believe it, so they can feel at ease by always bringing the child by their side.She hated Shi Hongsheng so much in her heart that she really wanted to kill him.

Shi Hongsheng took the baby boy, put him on his lap, and teased him, "Call me Daddy!"

Xiaowa didn't know how to be afraid, he just started babbling, and instinctively called out again: "Daddy!"

Shi Hongsheng beamed with joy, and said: "Reward!" A waiter brought a plate of pearls and gems, and Shi Hongsheng picked out a pearl the size of a pigeon egg from it, and stuffed it into Xiaowa's hands, "I reward you!"

The pearls are smooth and round, and the whole body is shiny, it is indeed a rare and good thing, but this thing is not big, it is not small, if it is played by a child of this age, he will easily swallow it into his mouth by mistake.Concubine Ma became anxious when she saw it, and panicked: "Your Majesty, brother Yue is still young, he can't play with that, let's change to something else... Ouch!"

Concubine Ma hadn't finished speaking, she had received a slap on the head, Shi Hongsheng casually grabbed the tea bowl on the table, and slammed it on Concubine Ma's head, "Bitch! Who needs you more!"

This blow was not light, Ma Guifei immediately had a hard lump on her head, and in a blink of an eye it turned blue and red, and a large lump swelled on her forehead.Feeling aggrieved, but not daring to shed tears in front of Shi Hongsheng, endured it for a long time, but his eyes were still red.

Xiaowa also felt something was wrong, looked at her mother, struggled and cried, and wanted to get off Shi Hongsheng and find her mother.Disappointed, Shi Hongsheng became even more impatient. He took the little baby's two legs and threw it on Ma Guifei: "Feed the unfamiliar wolf cub!"

Concubine Ma rushed forward to catch her, and held the baby in her arms, tears also rolled down her face.

The little baby was thrown out in the air, and he did two somersaults before being hugged by his mother. He was so frightened that he couldn't stop crying.Concubine Ma was afraid that Shi Hongsheng would be bored, so she came up with some way of punishment.Holding the little baby tightly, comforting her softly, it took a long time to coax the baby to stop crying.

Empress Xiao secretly felt happy at the side. Seeing Shi Hongsheng's gloomy face, she hurriedly got up to persuade her: "The emperor is not angry, the prince is still young, so it is inevitable that he is ignorant. It is also my fault that Ma Guifei is too old to discipline children. You are a large number of adults. Just be patient."

Shi Hongsheng's complexion was not gloomy, and the queen didn't dare to spend too much time talking. She tried to instigate a few words, but seeing that Shi Hongsheng didn't do anything to Concubine Ma, she felt annoyed and stepped back angrily.

The banquet had just begun, and Shi Hongsheng felt unhappy. He drank two glasses of wine alone, looked around, and found Luo Ming, Jiang Nianbai and others.

Luo Ming's python robe and jade belt today are magnificent.

Jiang Nianbai was wearing a long-sleeved robe with bamboo-blue interlaced gauze, with green jade hairpins on his black hair, and a bamboo fracture fan in his hand. Sheng, can't wait to rush forward immediately, tear off his clothes, pamper him, and see how *feeling it is.

After thinking about it for a while, Shi Hong raised his voice and shouted: "Prince Jing! The banquet is rough, don't think it is simple. The lonely king respects you and Mr. Jiang, doing the best of the landlord!"

Luo Ming picked up the wine cup and said with a smile, "How dare you! The Lord Shi's kindness is deeply in my heart."

After drinking a cup, the two exchanged a few polite words. Shi Hongsheng pointed to the dancers dancing in the open space, and said, "Prince Jing definitely doesn't like these things that play, play and sing for fun. Why don't we set up a gamble and have a competition?" Second, how about adding some interest to the banquet?"

Luo Ming asked: "I don't know how Lord Shi wants to gamble?"

Shi Hongsheng thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Our country will send three people, and Dongli will send three people to compete against each other. If you win two out of three, you will win. As for the competition...Bei Mang respects strength, and he doesn't care about what the competition is. If you win, the lonely king will have a great reward!"

Luo Ming smiled and asked: "That's easy. There are so many talented people in Dongli Middle School, and it's easy to win in just three competitions. I just don't know what kind of reward Shi Guozhu has, and how to punish him?"

This must be asked clearly in advance, and the words can be expanded, but if Shi Hongsheng raises a bet that he cannot afford to lose, then it is better to let this competition go.

Shi Hongsheng laughed and said, "Prince Jing speaks loudly. You have a lot of talents in Dongli Kingdom. In Beimang Kingdom, civil servants and military generals are not easy to eat. It's too early to say whether you win or lose!"

Glancing at Jiang Nianbai, Shi Hongsheng licked the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "I want to take Mr. Jiang as a bet, and we will have three competitions. If you lose, Mr. Jiang will be left to accompany the lonely king in the imperial city. If you win, Gu will leave Yulong Pass and return to Dongli's jurisdiction. How about this deal, you guys are worth it inside and out!"

It is indeed a good deal. If it were another person, he would definitely agree without even the slightest hesitation.If one subject is exchanged for the territory of the five cities and eighteen towns of Yulongguan, it will be clear immediately who is more important than others. Even if Jiang Nianbai is a rare capable minister in ancient times, it cannot be worth the value of the five cities and important towns of the border.Regardless of whether he wins or loses in this competition, Shi Hongsheng's bet is very attractive.

Luo Ming shook his head and declined, and said with a smile: "Master Jiang once had a close relationship with this king. He is not only a subject to me, but also a sworn brother of this king. If I agree to this competition today, wouldn't I be treating my brother as my brother?" Bargaining chips in exchange for benefits? This king really can’t do such an unjust act. I also ask Lord Shi to make another bet and try again.”

Shi Hongsheng was upset and said with a sneer, "King Jing boasted that he would win just now, why did he change his tone in a blink of an eye? Could it be that you were already scared before the competition? Hey, Prince Jing's young hero is a young man in the world. Some talents, now it seems, are mediocre!"

Xiao Wenkai and other generals from Dongli couldn't bear to be provoked the most, shouted and said angrily: "Who's scared! Just compare!"

Mi Yingjie was even more youthful, and said anxiously: "Brother, compared with him, we will definitely win!"

Luo Ming secretly lamented Xiao Wenkai's recklessness, and softly reprimanded: "Don't back down!"

Mi Yingjie pouted, and silently stepped aside. Xiao Wenkai didn't dare to intervene, and sat back in his seat.

Jiang Nianbai quietly pulled Luo Ming back, and said in a low voice: "It's better to agree. First, we don't necessarily lose. If we can win back the jurisdiction of Yulong Pass, wouldn't it be much better than using weapons again. Second, even if we lose Now, this is also a good way to get close to Shi Hongsheng, I will stay in the palace like this, let nature take its course, Shi Hongsheng will not be suspicious, we just acted according to the plan last night."

Luo Ming frowned, he didn't agree to let Jiang Nianbai go to assassinate Shi Hongsheng, after persuading him last night till now, Jiang Nianbai still didn't change his mind, Luo Ming really had nothing to say.

Thinking back and forth, now that he is on someone else's territory, even if he refuses to agree, Shi Hongsheng will not give up. Instead of waiting for him to become angry, it is better to agree to him, and then play it by ear.

Standing up, he replied: "This king agrees to the competition, and please ask Master Shi to come up with a question!"
