Picking chrysanthemum

What? ”

"I'm not talking about myself, I'm talking about you, the young master has already reached the crown, so you should think about it. Those old masters lied about "there is Yan Ruyu in the book". If you are so good, you should be worthy of one." The best wife in the whole world, talented and beautiful, perfect match..." Lai Liuzhang smiled.

"You!" Xun You knocked "Yan Ruyu" on Liu's forehead, "Your son doesn't like those 'fair ladies', don't learn from the aunts in the backyard all day long, don't do business."

"This is the big business," Lai Liu's thoughts were very stubborn. Seeing that Xun You stopped talking, he silently flipped through the sage book in his hand, and happened to find the part where Emperor Ai You favored the crown prince Sheren Dong Shengqing, and he was shocked. With a sound, he covered his mouth and said, "My lord! You won't be like that Dong Shengqing, you will break, break—"

Xun You was annoyed, and reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about?" After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little guilty. Although he had nothing wrong with seeing a beautiful and moving woman, he also found it pleasing to the eye. Several dancers gave him gifts, and he hesitated for a moment before refusing... It's not that he doesn't like women, but that this person has unknowingly occupied the high ground in his heart, so that when he was sick, he said his name, and when he was sick, he hesitated... In the dream, that superficial kiss was repeated.

It's true that I've lost my mind, what's wrong with marrying a good wife to live a stable life?

Lai Liu kept muttering: "Young master is so handsome, and the emperor valued him so much, it must be because he has other ideas, and it's such a coincidence, they are all from Zhongshushe, close officials, there must be something tricky... "Lai Liu actually suspected the emperor.

Xun You took the book and saw how beautiful Dong Shengqing was and how the emperor loved him. At the end of the biography, Emperor Ai died, and Dong Shengqing was beheaded by the new emperor and his henchmen.He hadn't read this passage carefully before, if it wasn't coming out at [-] o'clock, he would have only regarded them as a model monarch and minister who are intimate.

Lai Liu also saw that Xun You respected and disrespected Emperor Tianquan, so he was not close, so it is unlikely that he would like the emperor.He slapped his forehead, and thought of another person, muttering: "The prince seems to be a little suspicious, no, he is very suspicious! Hey, young master——"

Xun You simply lay down and rested, not talking to Lai Liu.To make fun of himself, Lai Liu leaned against the wall of the car and took a nap.

Hu Lusui and his party left half a day ahead of them. If Xun You hadn't been injured, he might still be able to catch up, but now it seems that there is little hope.The three generations of the Hulu family's grandparents are all generals who are good at fighting. It seems safe to send Hulusui to attack King Cheng, but in fact there are many mistakes. First of all, although Hulusui lives in seclusion, the courtiers all know that he has a good personal relationship with Chengwang's mansion. Moreover, it is true that Hu Lu family is loyal ministers with strong bones, but the one who is loyal is Da Qi's country, not Emperor Tianquan... Even a person like Xun You who doesn't care about political affairs understands the truth, how could the emperor be so loyal? Don't know, don't be wary?

Looking at the military positions of Daqi, there are four outstanding and highly respected ones, Chengwang, Yuansong, Shili, and Hulusui. They are called "one king and three generals". The two generals have always maintained neutrality in the court, but because the civil and military factions have never confronted each other, the military generals are closer to Cheng Wang, who went to battle to kill the enemy and took the lead.Could it be that the emperor had no generals to send, so he made such a bad move?

The emperor's edict declaring that King Cheng rebelled was pasted on the gates of the yamen in various places, but Xun You didn't believe that he would rebel at this time. Wu Cheng's army suffered a lot in the battle of Hangu Pass. If he planned to rebel, why let his men work so hard?What's more, his relatives and Yuanfu are all under the emperor's surveillance, so it is impossible not to be cautious.Xun You didn't have much time to investigate the authenticity of this incident, but only vaguely guessed that this incident was a conspiracy planned by the emperor himself-taking advantage of the unstable situation in the western region and the opportunity of King Cheng leading the army outside, the emperor decided to do so, and sent People disturbed King Cheng's rear, threatened him with food and soldiers, and spread rumors with words, forcing him to turn against him!You can kill the power to usurp halfway!

If this is true, Xun You really underestimated the emperor's artifice and ruthlessness.

The eunuch next to the emperor deliberately told him to be "careful", probably not because he was worried about his danger in the battle, but to remind him that "something is wrong".

Which faction is this inner eunuch from?

……

"Young master—you wake up."

"little six."

"Guo Lao said that the revolving door is not far away, and asked us if we want to get off the bus." Lai Liu said angrily, he was almost there, but he didn't send the Buddha to the west, how could this happen.

Xun You wiped off the fine sweat from his forehead, saw the looming towering city wall in the distance, and said, "Xiao Liu, you have suffered a lot along this journey, so go back with Old Man Guo."

"Son."

"If you insist on following, it will actually drag me down and be distracted. There are so many armored men in the army, and you will definitely keep me safe. Go back."

"...Then Xiaoliu is gone, young master must take care of himself!"

"Let's go."

Xun You stood there for a long time, seeing no sign of the carriage, no dust and smoke, and then he put his burden on his back and set off.

He was walking in the direction of the revolving door.

Poisoning

In Wu Chengjun's camp, soldiers set up pots and cheered happily to prepare lunch.This was the most sumptuous meal they had eaten in the past few days with clear soup and wild vegetables. Not only was it full, but there were also a few taels of dried meat floating in the pot, and the smell of oil made everyone around them salivate.After a full meal, the soldiers came to play in twos and threes. Only a thin soldier stood aside to pack the cooking utensils and did not participate in their games.

The soldier's name is Aqiu. A month ago, he was still a beggar on the street. He was rescued by Gao Fan and was able to join Wu Chengjun without hunger or cold. In the past month, he has grown a lot taller. He was a teenager now, but he was still emaciated.The other soldiers took pity on him for being thin, and always gave him small, easy jobs. During the battle, they also let him stay behind and stare at the rice grains without seeing blood in battle.

Knowing his lack of ability, he honestly took care of the chores in the rear. When he was free, he carried wooden stakes to exercise his strength. The hard work paid off, and he improved a lot during this time.Aqiu was born as a beggar, and his mind is more delicate than those simple-minded rough guys in the camp.He often secretly looked at the camp of the Chinese army. He knew exactly how many meals King Cheng had eaten and how many cups of oatmeal he drank. To a few traces of medicine.

King Cheng was ill and kept it secret.

Aqiu's heart hung up, "If the backbone is gone, we Wu Chengjun will be like bereaved dogs, and I may become a servile beggar again."

Although he is only a small soldier, he can see the general situation.Ten days ago, King Cheng pacified the border troubles, and his power shook the world. Everyone praised him as the god of war who came to the mortal world.However, soon the food and grass began to run short. King Cheng seemed to have offended the court. He hadn’t seen the grain from the counties and counties in the rear for many days. King Cheng had no choice but to go to nearby counties to buy surplus grain. Pharynx wild vegetables to survive.

What's more, there are faint rumors coming from the east, saying that King Cheng's plan to usurp the throne was discovered, and the emperor ordered the world to attack King Cheng, and he has already sent a large army... No matter how many things there are, Aqiu dare not think about it. After all, he is just a young man who has not experienced much in the world, and he can't figure out these political twists and turns.He patted his forehead and thought angrily: "Is it because the heavy rain was defending the city that day, and King Cheng suffered from the wind and cold? Why didn't it heal? My family has an earthen prescription, and I don't know if it will work. no."

Gao Fan was indeed ill, but it wasn't a cold, but poisoning. The seeds of this poison had been planted three years ago.

In the camp, the doctor put away the needle bag, and said sadly: "The poison of the prince is very overbearing. I still can't be sure about the poison. I can only prescribe some mild decoction to help the prince recover his blood and curb the spread of the poison."

"It's time to work." Gao Fan described being down and out, completely devoid of the spirit of galloping in the army that day, he leaned against the edge of the bed, closed his eyes and said nothing.

The doctor got up and wanted to leave, but stopped and said: "If the prince can tell where these poisonous tea leaves come from, the old man may be able to find the antidote faster."

Gao Fan shook his head and said: "You can't say it, even if you say it, you don't believe it, so why add a crime in vain." He took a sachet in his hand, which contained the last bit of sealed tea.

The doctor sighed and said: "My lord, don't touch the sachet too much. The smell of this tea is also poisonous, but it is very weak. The poisoner has a vicious mind and even wants to implant poison into the tea. Drink this tea. It is addictive, even if the lord does not drink tea, he will be poisoned if he wears this sachet for a long time. The lord can't treat the belly of a villain with the heart of a gentleman—"

"Don't be alone, let's get back."

The doctor walked out of the camp tremblingly, and ran into Yuan Song head-on.

Yuan Song asked in a low voice: "How is the prince's condition?"

"It's not getting better, and it's not getting worse. But the prince is determined to hide it for the poisoner. The old man has little knowledge. I'm afraid it will take a long time to make the antidote, but the prince's poison can't be slowed down!"

Yuan Song frowned and said, "I'll go persuade him."

Gao Fan saw Yuan Song come in rashly, laughed, and said, "You also came to ask me for the 'behind the scenes'?"

Yuan Song shook his head and said, "No. Because I know who that person is."

Gao Fan said in surprise, "How did you find out?"

Yuan Song sat down and recounted the previous events. He said: "When the emperor was still a prince, we were young and went to his house to have fun. At that time, his husband was Xun Hu. I remember that the grand master often took Looking at that kid. He was as quiet as an old man. I just wanted to tease him, but you were lucky and fought with me. I was beaten, and I remember it deeply. In the past few years, you disappeared without a trace No trace, I knew you were looking for him as soon as I guessed it...
