Chapter 400
At this time, the eunuch brought a man who was about thirty years old. He was not tall and looked mediocre. He was wearing a gray robe. He knelt down respectfully and said, "minister Fei Zhong, please come to see the king!"
Li Qiang knew this man. He was a famous treacherous minister around King Zhou. He was favored by King Zhou. He had many bad ideas and had a bad reputation in history. Li Qiang had a bad impression on this man, so he said coldly, "what can I do for you? If you have something to say, I have other things to do. "
Fei Zhong was stunned immediately because he was favored by King Zhou. He talked about almost nothing, and even could make decisions for King Zhou. However, he didn’t know what happened today. The eunuch sent a message that the king was going to patrol in humble clothes and was going to leave soon. He came to ask him in a hurry. However, he was very embarrassed when he saw the king’s cold look.
Seeing Fei Zhong kneeling there, Li Qiang asked, "why don’t you go? Is there anything you want to tell me? " Fei Zhong had no choice but to say, "now that the princes of the 72nd route of Beihai revolt, they heard that the grand master had been ordered to go to the war, and the victory or defeat was still unknown. There were still a lot of important things to do in the imperial court. The king had to go out in humble clothes at this time, for fear that it would be inappropriate. In this critical autumn, everything should be handled carefully. The king should learn from the words from the heart of the minister."
Li Qiang saw that Fei Zhong had a good speech. He didn’t look like a glib person. He thought, "isn’t that Fei Zhong in the book the same as the one in front of him? He doesn’t look like a traitor now
Seeing that Li Qiang was still staring at him, Fei Zhong couldn’t help but get angry and thought to himself: "what’s the matter with the king today? He’s always moody and murderous. Has he any prejudice against me and wants to kill me?" But listen to Li Qiang said: "you get up first, I want to ask you a few things." Fei Zhong took a breath to himself, stood up and tried to calm down: "the king wants to know what things, as long as the minister knows, he must tell them all."
Li Qiang asked, "is there any movement in Jichang now?" On hearing this, Fei Zhong secretly picked up his thumb and said, "the Xibo Marquis Jichang has a wicked heart. Many people know this, but no one dares to mention it to the king. Now when he opens his mouth, he directly talks about it, which shows that the emperor is wise and powerful, and has already been open to the matter."
Fei Zhong came to Li Qiang, and said in a low voice, "my king, I have heard some news. Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, has been preparing for war in recent years. I’m afraid it will change sooner or later."
Li Qiang nodded and thought, "of course I know that old guy is going to rebel. TV dramas and novels have been performed countless times." He said to Fei Zhong, "you should pay close attention to this person in the future. No matter what happens, you should report to me at any time without delay." Fei Zhong said: "the king seems to have known something about Jichang?" Li Qiang said: "although I live in the palace, I also know the things outside. If there are too many people, the team will not be easy to take. Each of the four grand princes is not an oil-saving lamp. Sitting in this position is like sitting in a volcanic crater. It’s not easy."
In fact, his words were a spectator’s evaluation of King Zhou. However, Fei Zhong was shocked to hear that, because the former king was just brave and ruthless, and even cruel. To deal with such a king, Fei Zhong didn’t find it hard, because to deal with such a simple and crude person, he would be able to protect himself by taking advantage of what he liked However, Wang seems to be a completely different person. He is not only thoughtful, but also has a thorough analysis of the situation of the imperial court. He is basically a wise and wise monarch.
Fei Zhong frowned and said, "what does the king mean?" Li Qiang said: "I mean to call the Jichang family to the court song. The Xibo marquis is is old and should enjoy the Qingfu. When I come to the capital, I can take good care of this loyal minister." Fei Zhong’s face was white with fright, and asked with trembling, "but what if people don’t want to?"
Li Qiang said with a smile: "if he is willing, it means that he has no rebellious heart. I will sing in the court to give him a beautiful family in a luxurious house and let him spend his old age peacefully. If he doesn’t want to, it’s definitely against his will. I’ll send troops to him immediately to be unprepared and stamp out the spark first, so that he can never turn over!"
Fei Zhong was surprised and admired. He nodded his head again and again: "the king’s plan is very wonderful. I will go to deal with it if I admire it!"
Just at this time, there was a voice outside: "Princess HuangFei, come to see the king." Before Li Qiang agreed, he walked into a gorgeous woman from outside.
Li Qiang thought that the women outside were strange. According to common sense, the imperial concubine should not break into the palace directly. However, the imperial concubine of the West Palace just said hello and went straight in. It was really dignified.
However, she is just getting up early. Her long hair is loose on her shoulders. She is particularly enchanting in her red dress. Her pink face is full of spring and autumn waves. She is really a beautiful woman. However, there is a sense of pride between her eyebrows. It seems that she does not pay attention to the people in the world.The Yellow Princess saw Li Qiang, and immediately Yingying bowed down, "the situation is urgent. I dare to face the saint rashly. I hope the king will forgive me." Although the words are humble and sincere, but the attitude is not humble or overbearing. When he finished, he stood up and looked at the king in front of him with a smile.
Li Qiang looked at Fei Zhong, and just wanted to ask questions, but Fei Zhong knew that Huang Fei was very powerful. He put out his tongue and bowed his head and said, "since the imperial concubine has something important to discuss with the king, I will leave first." And then he ran away in dismay.
And that Huang Fei at this time saw Bian Ling, who was waiting on one side, coldly said: "there is no matter for you here, you also go down." Bian Ling obediently saluted and quickly retired.
Li Qiang has a strong interest in the woman in front of her. After all, she is only the imperial concubine of the West Palace, not the main palace, but she looks like the hostess of the palace. What’s the matter?
When Huang Fei came to Li Qiang, she gently explored her body and sniffed at him. She said angrily, "did the king go to bed with that girl named Bian Ling last night?" Li Qiang nodded and said, "yes, I was with her last night." Huang Fei said unhappily, "it’s not that I blame the king. The beauty of the imperial palace is as beautiful as clouds. Which one is not better than Bian Ling? Why do you fall in love with her? If we really favor her, where should we put the faces of our royal nobles? "
Li Qiang was not happy and said, "who do I like need your approval? Am I a king or are you a king Huang Fei looked at Li Qiang in surprise. She had never seen the king so unhappy. But she was so arrogant that she was not so easy to be soft. She pouted and said, "so you really like her? Don’t you take us sisters seriously Li Qiang suddenly laughed and thought, "she is jealous. Otherwise, how could she rush in and drive Bian Ling away at the first time."
So he came to Huang Fei with a smile and coaxed her: "don’t be angry. I’m the son of heaven today. What’s the matter if you want more women? You’re already a princess. Why do you want to eat a little girl’s vinegar?"
