[Rebirth] Emperor Yonggao Ji

"Zhang Da, have you brought everything I told you?" Chen Qian stood at the door, watching Zhang Da put on his boots with half-closed eyes.

"As you expected, General Shi became furious." Zhang Da put on his shoes for him, handed a small square box to him, then stepped back half a step, and stood behind him with a bow.

"Well," Chen Qian smiled, "This is the best, the show is coming soon, I have to be there early."

Zhang Da also smiled: "My lord, go slowly."

Chen Qian ran to Wang Sheng's post whenever he had free time these days. Wang Sheng's guards were no longer surprised, and it was not easy to stop the Prime Minister of Zhao Guo at the border of Zhao Guo, so Chen Qian went all the way to the main hall unimpeded. .

He waited inside for a while before Wang Sheng came late.Seeing Wang Sheng coming out to meet him in his underwear, with wet hair draped over his shoulders, Chen Qian's eyes flickered, and he sat on the short bed without moving, looked up at Wang Sheng and said with a smile: "Oh, come on!" What a coincidence, I interrupted Brother Wang to take a bath."

In just a few days, the two of them have gradually become acquainted with each other—and it is the kind of acquaintance that calls them brothers.Wang Sheng casually pushed his hair back, and sat down opposite Chen Qian, "Brother Chen, come on, let me see what good things Brother Chen has brought." As he spoke, he reached out to pick up Chen Qian and put it on the table box.

Chen Qian was one step ahead of him, raised his hand and pressed the box, "Don't worry, Brother Wang, do you know that there are four famous inkstones in this world?"

Wang Sheng saw that he wanted to show off first, so he asked someone to fetch a cloth towel, wiped his hair on his own, and shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

Chen Qian sighed, and said with a helpless smile: "Brother Wang really doesn't hear anything out of the window."

Wang Cheng blushed, "People in the countryside are always rough, so don't make fun of me, brother Chen, I would like to hear more about it."

"Brother Wang, since you don't know any of them, then I'm going to be so boring." Chen Qian shook his head, moved his hands away, and signaled to Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng put down the cloth towel, opened the box, and saw a square as red as cinnabar inside He picked up the inkstone gently and looked at it carefully, only to feel that the touch is delicate, like a baby's skin, the texture is natural, other than that, there is nothing special, but he still praised: "This inkstone is really extraordinary."

"Hey, Brother Wang doesn't know that the benefit of this inkstone is not here." Chen Qian smiled mysteriously, as if waiting for Wang Sheng to ask a question, so Wang Sheng leaned closer and asked, "Why?"

"This is a clear mud inkstone. Other inkstones are mostly made of stone, but it is made of millennium-year-old mud from the Yellow River. This inkstone will not dry up, the accumulated ink will not rot, it will not freeze in severe cold, and you can study it with breath! Why is it listed among the four famous inkstones?"

This time Wang Sheng really admired him, "So—"

When he moved, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of "jingle" on the ground, Wang Sheng's expression changed, and he hurriedly lowered his head to look.Chen Qian also followed his gaze to look down, and saw a perfectly round piece of white jade falling on the ground, before he could see it clearly, Wang Cheng picked it up.Wang Sheng held the jade in his hand, looked at it over and over for a long time, his expression was a little nervous, Chen Qian watched from the side, couldn't help being surprised, and asked: "Brother Wang, is this white suet jade?"

Wang Sheng finally made sure that there were no cracks on the jade, and he didn't let Chen Qian look at it, so he put it in his arms and said with a smile, "Brother Chen has such poisonous eyes!"

Chen Qian thought to himself, although suet white jade is expensive, it is not so precious.The Fangcheng clay inkstone in front of him is enough to buy ten pieces of this kind of jade, and he didn't see how he moved. Is this Yongxiang really ignorant or something.He smiled and shook his head, "Brother Wang asked the craftsman to punch a hole in the jade and put it on a string to wear around his waist, so it won't fall off easily."

Seeing Wang Sheng but smiling silently, he thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "Hey, I'm too busy. Seeing that brother Wang even takes it with him when he takes a bath, he should be punished if he is willing to punch holes in it."

Wang Sheng said with a smile: "There is no flaw in a white jade, so why add flaws."

Chen Qian's eyes moved slightly, "Looking at Brother Wang, it's very important to come to this jade, right?"

"It's a gift from my king, I don't dare to leave my body." Wang Sheng didn't want to talk about it, so he stopped talking.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the window, and there was a faint sound of armor colliding. He subconsciously glanced at Chen Qian, and saw that Chen Qian was also looking out the window with a puzzled expression on his face, as if he was also looking outside the door. What happened is unknown.Wang Sheng scoffed, got up abruptly, and was about to call someone to ask, Li Qi had already entered the door, "Prime Minister, General Shi Meng led troops to surround the post!"

"General Shi? What is General Shi doing around the post?" Chen Qian said to himself.Wang Sheng didn't answer, he put on his outer robe in a hurry, pulled up his dripping hair, and strode out.

Wang Sheng stood at the door and looked around, and saw that the posthouse was really surrounded by groups, and Shi Meng was standing in the middle on a horse, fully armored, and Wang Sheng was about to step forward, but was blocked by Zhao soldiers on the stone steps .The twenty guards he brought were holding up their scabbards to confront Zhao Jun on both sides of the gate. Seeing this, they guarded Wang Sheng's side and pulled out their sabers from their waists.Standing on the steps, Wang Sheng shouted at Shi Meng: "Why did General Shi surround my residence? Was it ordered by King Zhao to come and live here, or did I accidentally offend General Shi and provoke the The general is not fast?"

Unlike him, Shi Meng didn't need to shout, but his voice came clearly, "Stop talking nonsense, don't think that I can't see your trick of buying people's hearts. Is my Da Zhao a place for you to run wild?"

Wang Sheng said with a smile: "Didn't I explain it at the court meeting that day? Distributing food on the road was a helpless act, and the general was there at the time, so I dare not take such harsh words. "

Shi Meng flicked his horsewhip irritably, "I was deceived by you that day, how can I fall into your scheme again this time? Someone, let me take him down, and anyone who disobeys will be killed—"

"Wait, General!"

Chen Qian followed Wang Sheng, arrived in time at this critical moment, and stood side by side with Wang Sheng on the stone steps.When Shi Meng saw him, his eyes widened, "Prime Minister Zuo? Why are you here?"

Chen Qian looked around, shook his head, and stepped forward. Seeing that no one was stopping him, he walked to the middle, "Is it the way to welcome guests? General, let the soldiers take a few steps back, you How about I take a step to speak?"

Shi Meng looked at him suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and ordered the soldiers to retreat ten steps to make room for an open space. He rode his horse forward, pointed at Wang Sheng who was still standing at the gate of the posthouse, and said, "Tell me, what's going on? What are you doing?" Have a personal relationship with this person?"

Chen Qian couldn't help laughing: "He is Prime Minister Yong, and I am Prime Minister Zhao. The two of us met each other. How come the general said it was shameful."

Shi Meng lowered his voice, "But he is a spy of the Yong Kingdom! Besides, it's not Zhang—"

"Hey! General," Chen Qian interrupted him, without deliberately lowering his voice, "Think about it, how can there be a reason why a country's prime minister is sent out to be a spy? The general is too careless. Besides, the king hasn't said anything yet. What, the general sent troops privately to surround Prime Minister Yong's post. To put it mildly, it is the general's eagerness to protect the country and act out of his will. To put it more seriously, it will hurt the peace of the two countries! Your Majesty heard this Afterwards, can the general be spared lightly?"

"This...you..." Shi Meng was confused by him, and Chen Qian put his hand on his horse's bridle, and continued: "If the general thinks that I am a left-hand man who can speak well, you might as well sell me one." To save face, take all the troops away. If the king has an order in the future, it will not be too late for the general to come and take people away, how about it?"

Shi Meng looked at Wang Sheng and then at Chen Qian, obviously not understanding what was going on.But Chen Qian talked all kinds of things, and finally persuaded him and his army to go away. Seeing that the troops retreated, Chen Qian walked back to the steps, bowed to Wang Sheng and said, "Our General Shi is just so impatient and has a bad temper." Boom, Brother Wang, don't take it to heart, my king will inevitably punish him after hearing about it, and I am here to apologize to Brother Wang...to Yongxiang on behalf of my king."

Wang Sheng waved his hand, "Brother Chen, what did you say, I would like to thank Brother Chen for helping me out today. If Brother Chen wasn't here, seeing General Shi's momentum, I would have suffered a lot today!"

Chen Qian laughed for a while, his face gradually became dignified, and he said worriedly: "Brother Wang, you and I have known each other for many days, and I have long regarded you as a confidant, and now I have something to say from the bottom of my heart."

Wang Sheng quickly collected his expression, and stretched out a hand towards him, "Brother Chen, please tell me."

"Although this matter seems to be General Shi's own decision, you and I know who General Shi is. He is my king's younger brother. If we talk about my king's relatives, I will be under him. His actions, I don't think it may not be ordered by my king in private." Chen Qian lowered his voice and continued: "My king has been suspicious of the actions of brother Wang after he entered Zhao. This matter is big or small, just look at me How does the king view this matter? From today's point of view, brother Wang is in a bad situation."

Wang Sheng frowned, and nodded slowly after a while.

"This time it was just a small fight, and I fooled it with a few words. But tomorrow, Brother Wang will return to the country, and my king will have a banquet to see him off. At that time... it may not be a small fight. Brother Wang is a smart man , Thinking about it, I already understand what I mean. There is no need to say too much about the way to settle down, there is only one sentence below—Brother Wang, you should make a plan early, so as not to regret it too late."

Wang Sheng thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen, for your suggestion!"

"Hey, I didn't say anything." Chen Qian waved his hand, "I'm going to meet my king now, Brother Wang, so I can do it myself."

"Brother Chen, go slowly."

Wang Sheng watched Chen Qian disappear before turning back to the house.He had been suffering from headaches since just now, and now he finally returned to the room, half lying on the soft bed with his eyes closed to rest.Li Qi took the cloth towel that he put aside and wanted to wipe his hair, but found that the water on the hair was frozen to ice, and the ice flakes fell down as soon as he wiped it.He said "Oops", "The subordinate just said that I want to dry your hair for you and then come to see Zhao Xiang. You don't want it. It will be bad if you catch a cold." He was puzzled. How come you are so abnormal today, you can see people without even wiping your hair, it's just that Wang Sheng has a lot of prestige in his heart, so he didn't dare to ask.

Wang Sheng kept his eyes closed, but seemed to see his doubts, he pressed his forehead, his lips turned white, but he said with a half-smile: "Chen Qian has been here for so many days, if I don't get to know him better , he is not good at making a move.”

Li Qi naturally didn't understand what he meant, so he didn't say much, turned around and brought a hot towel to melt the ice on Wang Sheng's hair, then took a dry cloth, wiped it slowly, and said casually: "It's really thanks to Zhao Xiang's rescue today."

Wang Sheng gave a low snort, but didn't speak.

"Seeing that your complexion is not good, I will ask someone to make some ginger soup for you." Seeing that the wipe was almost done, Li Qi put down the cloth towel, and seeing Wang Sheng was noncommittal, he continued: "If you are sick, go back to the king. Can peel off the skin of subordinates."

Wang Sheng turned his head and asked with a smile, "So afraid of punishment?"

Li Qi looked at his words, saw that after so many days, he finally saw a real smile on Wang Sheng's face, he hurriedly continued his efforts, and said with a smile: "This subordinate is afraid that the king will be worried."

Wang Sheng snorted, turned his face to the other side, raised his hand to support his forehead, and hurriedly said: "Go, don't trouble me."

"Come on, this subordinate is going to make soup now." Li Qi smiled and quickly retreated.
