I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 349 Cramping

Fu Maoxiu left the palace, and returned to Lurenfang where the Duke's Mansion was located with a gloomy face all the way.

When entering the Fangmen, the team happened to be squeezed outside the Fangmen together with the team that Yan Wangshizi Wu Yaoshi was about to travel.

The chariot and horse team on the side of King Yan's Mansion was set up on the street, and was about to leave the gate. When Wu Yaoshi saw that it was the frame of the British Duke, he immediately asked the accompanying guard Thirteen to order the team to get out of the way and let the British The public goes first.

Fu Maoxiu was not polite, and went back to the mansion directly.

Wu Yaoshi and Zhang Zhixun were on the carriage, glanced at the opposite team and said in surprise: "If you usually meet the carriage frame of the British Duke, you will have to exchange a few words in the carriage. Today, I returned without saying a word. Mansion, did you just come back from the palace?"

Zhang Zhixun said: "If your son wants to know, you might as well find someone to ask about it."

Pharmacist Wu shook his head: "Forget it, we're not looking for boredom when we find someone to inquire about the other side? I might as well ask Balang directly if there is anything to do. The entire capital is the eyes and ears of Marquis Wu'an,"

Zhang Zhixun smiled after hearing this, and stopped talking.

Originally, Pharmacist Wu kept a low profile when traveling in the capital, and at most he brought a few guards with him.

But today is not possible, Wu Yaoshi is going to the Qi Palace to have a banquet, so of course he can't do it casually.

Therefore, a guard of honor was held very solemnly, and after Princess Heyang got out of the mansion and got into the car, the team set off and headed all the way towards Prince Qi's mansion.

King Qi Zhao Yuanzhang had just returned to Beijing not long ago, and he held a banquet at the mansion today mainly because of his eldest son Full Moon, so he also invited many princes and princesses, as well as the clan, relatives and friends in Beijing.

Princess Heyang Zhao Yuanhui and King Qi were born of the same mother, so Wu Yaoshi had to come.

When he arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion, Zhao Yuanzhang was very enthusiastic about Wu Yaoshi's brother-in-law, but because he couldn't get away, he could only greet him and let him sit down.

Wu Yaoshi was seated at the banquet, with Gong Yonggu next to him on the left, and Feng Guanghui on the right. These people have one thing in common, they are all sons-in-law.

Because of his background, Wu Yaoshi had very little contact with the people. After all, these sons-in-law are descendants of honored relatives, and they have had close contacts with him, the son of the vassal prince who is a hostage in Beijing, and they are afraid of causing trouble.

Not too many on the same table, so naturally they won't be too cold, after all, it depends on the princess.

A few people here were saying this when they heard a high-pitched voice shouting: "His Royal Highness is here."

Zhao Yuanzhang, who was waiting for the guests, immediately walked towards the door to pick him up, three steps in parallel, two steps in parallel, and walked quickly all the way, "My brother pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

If it's an ordinary family, the brother's house is full of moon wine, even if the family is separated, the elder brother must go early to help Zhang Luo with work.

But when it comes to His Royal Highness, it is already a grace to be able to come to King Qi.

Zhao Yuantan stayed in the Qi Palace for about a moment and then turned around. Before leaving, he deliberately called Wu Yaoshi to his side and said a few words.

This move also caught everyone's attention.

It was almost night when Wu Yaoshi returned to the mansion. After all, he had to dare to return to the workshop before the curfew, otherwise he would be caught by the night watchmen if he missed the time, and he would be impeached by the censor.

The mansion was brightly lit, and in the study, Chen Jianzhou, a staff member, was sitting alone in front of the chessboard and fiddled with the chess pieces. When he saw the two came back, he hurriedly asked Zhang Zhixun to play a game with him.

Zhang Zhixun agreed immediately, and sat down to play chess with Chen Jianzhou.

Pharmacist Wu was drinking the tea brought by the maid, watching the two play chess.

This game took half an hour to decide the winner, Zhang Zhixun was slightly better.

Chen Jianzhou reluctantly withdrew his gaze from looking at the chessboard, took out a letter from the other side of the table and handed it to Wu Yaoshi.

"Shortly after you and Judge Zhang came out of the mansion today, my son, I got the news. At present, not many people know the news. I heard that the Imperial City Secretary has issued a gag order."

After reading the letter, Wu Yaoshi looked surprised and said: "Is there anyone else who dares to intercept and kill Marquis Wu An? How dare you."

Zhang Zhixun took the letter curiously, glanced at ten lines, and quickly read the above content.

"It's a pity, these people who do things. If they can succeed, it will be interesting."

Chen Jianzhou also agreed on the side: "That's true, these people are too rough, but then again, it is really not easy to kill Marquis Wu An, even if I are asked to plan this matter, it is still difficult."

Chen Jianzhou's tone revealed this regret. After all, from his point of view, if Marquis Wu'an was assassinated and died in Shuzhong, it would definitely be a good thing for the Yan Palace in Liaodong.

If the imperial court wants to eradicate the long-standing evils, it must first have peace.

If Central Shu has been in turmoil, the Great Jin court will continue to decline.

However, Yan Fan in Liaodong, whether he wanted to protect himself or aim at the world, was unwilling to see a strong and wealthy court.

Therefore, whether it is Chen Jianzhou or Zhang Zhixun, no matter how much they admire and favor Marquis Wu'an, this position will not change.

On the contrary, Wu Yaoshi didn't take the two of them's thoughts seriously, but he wanted to see what kind of achievements that peer could achieve.

"No wonder when I went out at noon today, the British prince seemed a little bit when he returned home. That's how it is."

Here, Chen Jianzhou changed the subject and said: "By the way, what can I gain from my son going to the palace today?"

Pharmacist Wu thought for a while: "Harvest? What can I gain? I went to Qi Wang's mansion today and met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I only talked a few words with Qi Wang. He is too busy today."

"The prince is also gone today?"

Zhang Zhixun replied: "Naturally, after all, King Qi can be regarded as a successful man among the princes. He should also want to win over him, and His Majesty is also watching. The prince has always been respectful to brothers and sisters. How can he do that?" don't go."

Chen Jianzhou thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty thinks, can King Qi do it?"

"Can you do something? Rebel?"

Wu Yaoshi didn't wait for Chen Jianzhou to finish speaking and asked directly, seeing that he didn't speak, he continued.

"The old man, Master Yao, and you don't know what to think. If you want me to make friends with King Qi, do you think His Majesty and His Royal Highness are blind cages? Or that King Qi is a fool? If there is a chance, I don't need to contact him. He will rush to find me, if there is no chance, he will feel that the world is too bad to make friends with us?"

Whether it is Yan Wang and Yao Bingkuan who are far away in Liaodong, or Zhang Zhixun and Chen Jianzhou, they have played out the general trend of the world more than once.

Especially the general trend of the world after the Taoist emperor.

If the prince can successfully succeed to the throne and live for a long time, the Liaodong side will have little chance, and even the status quo of the separatist side may not be able to maintain.

But destiny is always elusive.

Listening to Wu Yaoshi's complaints, Zhang Zhixun said with a smile: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, but it's better to deal more with each other than to hold Buddha's feet temporarily."

Pharmacist Wu laughed when he heard the words.

"Hahaha, I don't know, who is the Buddha?"
