Back to the Three Kingdoms - Chapter 563

At the meeting, Chen Lang did not lay out a specific strategy, but instructed the chief officials to prepare for battle and wait for orders, and at the same time confessed that they will further increase the policy measures to encourage industry and commerce.

After the meeting, Chen Lang left behind Xi Zhicai, Chen Gong, Jia Xu, and Zhuge Mengxue.

Chen Lang said: “There are three main enemies today, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei. Among them, Cao Cao is the strongest and almost as strong as us, followed by Sun Jian, and the weakest is Liu Bei. These three enemies have now merged, and they should be after the beginning of spring. There will be a war with us. How should we respond?”

Chen Gong glanced at the other people and said with a smile: “Let me talk about it first, it’s a good idea.” Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

Chen Gong said, “Although the three of them are now allied, they all have ghosts. The calculation in their hearts is that they want others to fight us hard, but they can reap the benefits of the fishermen. Therefore, although this battle is inevitable, it is definitely not imminent, because they Every family hopes that others will attack first and are not willing to attack first. As far as the current situation is concerned, we should still have a few months. I think we can take this opportunity to cut out Liu Bei first, so as to eliminate our worries. .”

The other three all showed their approval, Jia Xu smiled and said: “This remark of the public platform is not an intrigue, but a good word!” Then he hugged a fist at Chen Lang and said: “Lord, I very much agree with the public platform’s judgment. First, eliminate Liu Bei and the Nanzhong barbarians, so that we can concentrate on competing with Cao Cao and Sun Jian! The subordinates are willing to take responsibility for this matter, and if they fail to succeed, they are willing to accept sanctions from the lord!”

Chen Lang smiled and said: “The Western Regions have to be written and bothersome. I will do this myself.” Then he looked at Chen Gong, “Public platform, the important task of staying behind still has to be entrusted to you.” Chen Gong sighed and clasped his fists. swear.

“It shouldn’t be too late. I’ll leave after the holiday. I have to keep secrets about my departure, as if I’m still in Luoyang. At the same time, all armies assemble in the direction of Bangshuiguan and Jiangxia.” At this point, Chen Lang laughed He laughed, “Since they are unwilling to move first, we will make them even more reluctant to move.” Everyone smiled knowingly.

When Feng Ji returned home, he looked depressed and resentful.

When Mrs. Feng came over, seeing Feng Ji’s unhappy expression, she asked inexplicably, “Isn’t the lord going to the prince’s banquet, but why is he so upset?”

Feng Ji couldn’t help being annoyed and said: “Then Chen Lang can occupy Youzhou, Jizhou, thanks to my credit! The invasion didn’t take me seriously! It’s really hateful!”

Mrs. Feng was taken aback and hurriedly said, “How can I say this, my lord!” He looked around in a panic, and said in a low voice, “What if someone hears this?”

Feng Ji snorted.

The two were silent for a moment, and Mrs. Feng couldn’t help asking: “Master, did something happen to the banquet today?”

When Feng Ji heard this, he couldn’t help but raged up again, and angrily told what was going on at the banquet. Hearing what he said, it was as if other colleagues were specifically against him and the lord Chen Lang was ungrateful.

Madam Feng couldn’t help but frowned, sighed, and said, “Master is not happy here, but where can I go?”

Feng Ji frowned and said nothing.

The old butler hurried in from the outside, “Madam, there is someone in the palace!”

Feng Ji returned to his senses, frowning and said, “Are you from the palace? What are you doing?”

Mrs. Feng hurriedly said: “I heard that the palace will send people to send blessings to the ministers every year in the past few years, and then the families of the ministers will go to the palace to pay respects on the third grade.”

Feng Ji nodded and walked out, followed by the old butler and Mrs. Feng.

When I came to the hall, I saw an old eunuch. Feng Ji hurriedly stepped forward to pay him a visit: “I don’t know if my father-in-law is here, I will welcome you if you have lost a distance, forgive me!

The old **** hurriedly replied: “Every adult, you are polite!”

Feng Ji invited the old **** to take a seat, and the old **** declined, but at Feng Ji’s repeated requests, he finally sat down on the main seat. Feng Ji and Mrs. Feng sat at the left front, and the old housekeeper stood by. Feng Ji raised his voice and called for tea, and the maid offered tea and withdrew.

Feng Jichao’s old **** held his fist and asked, “I don’t know how the father-in-law is called?”

The old **** hurriedly replied: “Our family is called Xue Chen.” Then he took out a red note and said: “This is the blessing given by the Empress of the Two Palaces to the families of ministers.”

Feng Ji and Mrs. Feng stood up quickly, and Feng Ji stepped forward, respectfully thanking him, then took the red note, took a look, and saw two poems written on it, both of which are words of ordinary blessing, and then worshiped: “Thank you for your kindness from the two palaces! The minister is really, really hopeless!”

Seeing Fengji this way, Xue Chen couldn’t help but sighed: “There are too few loyal ministers like Master Feng nowadays!” Then he realized that he had made a mistake, and quickly concealed with a smile: “Of course, His Royal Highness Qin waited They are all great loyal ministers. If it weren’t for His Royal Highness King Qin, I really don’t know what Dahan Jiangshan would look like?”

auzw.com Feng Ji couldn’t help but resentfully said: “If King Qin is a loyal minister, will there be any traitors in this world?”

When these words came out, most of the people present were shocked, and Xue Chen was even more upset, and said in shock: “Everything the Lord said, these words…”

Mrs. Feng hurriedly concealed: “My master didn’t mean that, father-in-law, don’t get me wrong!” Seeing Feng Ji frowning and not speaking, Xue Chen nodded with a smile: “I want to come and make our family misheard!” Said: “It’s getting late, and I have to go to other ministers’ homes, so I’ll leave!” He said that he wanted to leave. Feng Ji and his wife sent Xue Chen out the door.

When Xue Chen left, Mrs. Feng couldn’t help but complained: “How could the master just be such a gaffe? If this is…”

Feng Ji flicked his sleeves and said, “Women, what do you know!” Then he turned around and entered.

Xue Chen sent royal blessings to the ministers, and then hurried back to the palace. Seeing the two empress dowagers who were talking and the little emperor sitting next to him, they quickly bowed: “The old slave pays respects to the two empresses, and to your majesty.” Then he said excitedly: “Today the old slave found a loyal minister!”

The two queen mothers and the little emperor couldn’t help but look at Xue Chen. The queen mother hurriedly asked, “Who are you talking about?”

“Luoyang has a long history, every discipline.”

The two queen mothers glanced at each other, and the queen mother thought: “I remember this person. He was originally an army officer under Yuan Shao’s account, and he had taken refuge in King Qin not long ago!” She frowned, “Will such a person be a loyal minister?”

Xue Chen hurriedly said: “Niang, Jizhou Youzhou has fallen, and you have no choice but to take refuge in King Qin. That’s nothing but him. But seeing what he said today is obviously resentful and respectful towards King Qin, and he is very respectful to the royal family. He should be loyal to the royal family in his heart, and it is by no means comparable to other running dogs of the King of Qin.”

The Queen Mother couldn’t help but look at Queen He and asked: “Sister, what do you think of this person?”

The Queen Mother thought for a while, and said: “Xue Chen’s words are very reasonable. Feng Ji’s surrender to the King of Qin was forced by the situation, no wonder he! Or you can give him a try. If he is really a loyal minister, What we are planning can be entrusted to him.” The Queen Mother nodded, but then she said in embarrassment: “But, how can we try him? If what we are planning is leaked out, does it mean that everything will be lost? “

Empress Dowager He smiled slightly, and whispered in her ear. The queen mother smiled, admiring the authenticity: “My sister is very good at this plan!”

On the third day of the third year, the ministers or their families came to the palace to thank the emperor, and the two queen mothers and the little emperor met them. Then came the huge royal banquet. After the banquet, the little emperor and the queen mother led the crowd to visit the imperial garden, and the host and the guest talked in a pleasant atmosphere.

At this moment, a little **** rushed to Feng Ji’s side and whispered: “Every sir, Empress He summoned!” Feng Ji bowed and promised, and then followed the little **** and left the crowd and walked deep into the harem. After passing through the clumps of repairing woods, and turning around a few corridors, the two came to a quiet palace outside. The little **** stopped and bowed and said, “Whenever an adult comes in, please wait for the empress dowager inside.”

Feng Ji hurriedly adjusted his clothes and walked into the door with his body.

However, what Feng Ji did not expect was that as soon as he walked into the door, the door behind him closed with a bang. Before Feng Ji could react, several eunuchs suddenly sprang out from both sides and knocked him to the ground.

At this time, the lights were lit, and the Queen Mother He, who was dressed in a glamorous and glamorous palace outfit but had a frosty face, walked up to the main seat and sat down surrounded by the palace ladies.

Seeing this, Feng Ji yelled anxiously, “What is the Queen Mother? What crime did I commit?”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, and said coldly: “How dare you slander King Qin and say you are not guilty!”

Feng Ji was taken aback and asked: “When did the minister slander King Qin?”

Empress Dowager He said in an unpleasant manner: “Yesterday, Hitachi said at home: If King Qin is a loyal minister, how can the world be a traitor. Do you want to quibble now?”

Feng Ji suddenly showed anger and said angrily: “I said it! If Chen Lang is a loyal minister, wouldn’t it be black and white? He Chen Lang is clearly a wolf’s ambition. I come to a great man, and I want to eat his flesh and sleep with his skin! Yes! Did he ask you to kill me? Huh, the mother of the dignified queen dowager, who did not contemplate for the great Han country, but served as a treacherous minister for a tiger, I hate that Feng Ji died in your hands!”

The Queen Mother was furious and shouted: “Come on, drag him down and chop him down!” All the eunuchs promised and dragged Feng Ji away. Feng Ji kept cursing, but he didn’t even ask for mercy.

“Hold on.” Several eunuchs dragged Feng Ji back.

Feng Ji glared at Empress He and shouted: “What else are you doing? Kill if you want!”

Queen Mother He said: “King Qin doesn’t know about this. If you are willing to change your course and sincerely serve you, I can spare your life.”

Feng Ji roared: “I Feng Jisheng is a courtier of a big man, and death is a ghost of a big man. Kill me quickly!”

The Queen Mother stared at Feng Ji for a moment, then suddenly waved her hand. The eunuchs who had caught Feng Ji let him go.
