The Grandmaster Strategist

During the meeting, the princess smiled and asked about the scenery of the world. The king seconded the proposal and executed the order. Before the order was raised, King Qi had arrived, and the three kings gathered happily. They were enjoying themselves at the table. At that time, they had forgotten that the chaos in Xiaoqiang was coming.

--"Yong Shi·Biography of King Ru"

‘Haha, what a great idea, you can’t pull me down. 'The prince had just finished speaking when a hearty voice came from afar. When everyone looked, it was Qi King Li Xian walking leisurely. Behind him were Wei Ying and Xiahou Yuanfeng. The expressions of the prince and King Yong changed. Qin Yi But he kept smiling bitterly. He never expected that his mansion would be so lively today. He winked at his wife, Qin Yi stood up and said: "What kind of wind is blowing today? His Royal Highness King Qi also came to the humble residence. Qin is really Flattered. '

Li Xian stopped Qin Yi to salute and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence. The general may not know that Xiahou and I originally wanted to go out for fun together. Unexpectedly, we met Mr. Wei on the road and heard that the eldest and second brothers were here today." At the general's residence, I thought, how could I not join in the fun? '

Li Zhi and the prince were relieved. They knew that Li Xian would always look for trouble even if he had nothing to do. It was so lively today that it would be strange for him not to come.

Everyone sat down again, and the three sides were clearly separated. At this time, Mrs. Qin had already said goodbye and left, so the prince, King Qi, Li Hanyou, and Lu Jingzhong sat together, while King Yong, Jiang Zhe, Sima Xiong and others sat together. Wei Ying and Xiahou Yuanfeng were sitting together with Qin Yi and Qin Qing. Qin Yong had already excused himself and left. With so many noble people gathered here, they must have a lot of bodyguards. Qin Yong went to take care of them.

Li An ordered some jars of strong liquor to be brought up, and he also brought a large wine glass. One glass of this wine glass could hold four taels of wine. If he drank three glasses, even a person with a good drinker would become tipsy. He smiled and said: "Today's drinking orders are as strict as military orders. I wonder who should take charge?" '

Jing Chi quickly stood up and said, "The general is illiterate, so I should take charge." '

Li Zhi laughed and said: "Nonsense, the person who gives orders needs to be familiar with poetry and books. How can you give orders?" '

Li Xian rolled his eyes and said: "We all have to give orders. The general comes from a family of military generals. If you want to find a general with strong martial arts skills, it will be difficult to find someone who is familiar with poetry and books. Since It was the princess who suggested it, why not let the princess take charge. '

Li Hanyou said angrily: "I am a weak woman, how can I give orders? Who doesn't know the rules of your giving orders? The person who gives the orders must accompany him with a drink. No matter whether he wins or loses, he must drink with him." Are you afraid Hanyou will die of drunkenness? '

Li Xian spread his hands and said: 'Well, why don't we find a deputy commander for the princess and just drink. '

Everyone looked at each other, everyone had a good drinking capacity, but it was a bit embarrassing to be Li Hanyou's deputy commander.

At this time, Li Xian suddenly said: "Let's do it. Come on." ' He said and pointed to someone.

When everyone looked, Li Xian was pointing to Xiao Shunzi, who was standing solemnly behind Jiang Zhe. Although Xiao Shunzi was only a servant, no one present knew that this man was a top master, and probably only Jiang Zhe was the one. People of this kind dare to treat him as a slave, otherwise even the prince and King Yong will treat him as a guest of honor.

Li Hanyou was overjoyed. She originally just wanted to take the opportunity to explore Jiang Zhe's true identity. It would be better if she could get his favor. She didn't expect that the sudden King Qi would be so cooperative and put Xiao Shunzi in the open, so that she could take advantage of the opportunity. To win over these two people, at least reduce their hostility. If it weren't for the fact that King Qi had no advantage in terms of status, Li Hanyou would have really wanted to suggest to the sect leader that it would be much easier to support King Qi than to support the idiot Prince.

Xiao Shunzi originally focused all his attention on Jiang Zhe. In his eyes, other people were divided into two categories: "people who are a threat to the young master" and "people who are not a threat to the young master." Li Hanyou was A type of threat, thinking that this woman almost killed the young master, he had wanted to kill her with one palm for a long time, if Jiang Zhe hadn't whispered to him: "Don't worry, the future is long." 'He has long since lost his patience.

Now after hearing King Qi's suggestion, Xiao Shunzi's expression changed, and there was an icy-cold murderous look in his brows.

Those eyes shot out an icy cold light, making everyone on guard. At this time, Jiang Zhe said leisurely: "This is also a good idea, but Xiao Shunzi doesn't drink much, and it is very hard to hold back the wine for the princess. If If the princess is willing to reward you generously, then even if he is not tempted, the minister will be tempted. '

Li Zhi looked relieved and said: 'That's true, but since it was the eldest brother who proposed the order and the sixth brother recommended Xiao Shunzi to assist, then the two of them shouldn't be stingy. '

Li Hanyou showed a pure smile and said: "I came in a hurry, if you don't dislike it, take this as a reward." 'Speaking, he took out a pair of gloves as thin as cicada wings from his waist. Everyone looked strange and couldn't help asking each other. At this time, Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled and said: "The princess really gave me a generous gift. These must be gloves made of silk from Tianshan ice silkworms. They are not as good as swords and guns, and are invulnerable to a hundred poisons. They are good at palm skills." man's favorite weapon. '

Li Hanyou looked at Xiao Shunzi. As long as his expression moved slightly, he would have achieved his goal. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shunzi just glanced at him lightly and said, 'Thank you, Princess, for the reward. ‘The expression didn’t change at all.

Li Hanyou sighed in his heart. If Xiao Shunzi was happy to see this, then it meant that his realm was not free from the temptation of foreign objects. Then he knew how deep he was, and if he relied more on this pair of gloves, then his martial arts would become worse. It's a pity that it's difficult to make progress. Just seeing him so cold, you know that he either already knows this truth, or he has passed the state of relying on external objects. Since he has no famous teacher to teach him, it means that his martial arts has reached that state.

King Qi smiled and said: "I don't have anything good with me, so be it. There is a set of "Menghua Lu" in my palace, which is an ancient edition that I accidentally obtained. It contains some long-lost Yuefu poems. Is this gift precious? '

Xiao Shunzi's expression changed a little. He had served Jiang Zhe for many years. He had heard Jiang Zhe talk about this book before, and seemed to regret that he had not read it. He couldn't help but look happy and said, "Thank you, His Highness King Qi, for the reward." '

Li Hanyou and others were stunned for a moment, thinking that this person didn't like martial arts but liked books. Then they saw a faint joy on Jiang Zhe's face. Li Hanyou felt happy and worried in his heart. It seemed that this little Shunzi's only weakness was It was Jiang Zhe, but in this way, this master would not be able to be used by himself. After all, given the importance King Yong attached to Jiang Zhe, if Jiang Zhe was willing to submit to him, he would probably not dare to use him. Forget it, it seems that the only option is to use thunder. Li Hanyou's eyes flashed with determination.

Prince Li An repeatedly shouted bad luck, thinking to return the gifts I gave him. The gifts given by Li Hanyou and Li Xian were very expensive and unique. It would be a bit tacky to reward him with gold, silver, jewelry, etc. He was hesitating, and the man who had been standing behind him Xia Jinyi suddenly said something, and Li An suddenly smiled and said: "You can't refuse this reward from me. Jin Yi, send Lvzhu and Cuiying over tomorrow. These two women are my beloved dancers." Ji, you should enjoy it. '

As soon as these words were spoken, there seemed to be a chill in the air. Although no one said it explicitly, everyone knew Xiao Shunzi's identity tacitly. If he were an ordinary person, this slightly mocking He could only endure the gift, but Xiao Shunzi was a top expert. If he took action in anger, no one here would be able to get away with it. Not only the prince and the few trusted guards left by King Qi had improved Alert, even King Yong, Qin Yi and several generals under King Yong were carefully paying attention to Xiao Shunzi's actions.

But when he saw Xiao Shunzi smiling instead of being angry, he stood in front of the prince in a flash. The prince was shocked. Li Hanyou, King Qi, and Qin Yi all started at the same time, but stopped a few feet away, because Xiao Shunzi Although he was standing far away, he was the first to reach the prince, and the prince was not harmed because Xia Jinyi, who was standing behind the prince, was already in front of the prince. If Xiao Shunzi took action, he would definitely not be able to kill the prince in one fell swoop. , in this way, they will naturally not take action rashly.

Li Zhi also stood up, glanced at Jiang Zhe, and said, "Li Shun, what are you going to do?" '

All eyes fell on Jiang Zhe. At this time, he was probably the only one who could stop Xiao Shunzi.

I glanced helplessly at King Yong and others who looked anxious, and said, "On behalf of Li Shun, I would like to thank His Highness for the reward. His Highness must have felt that his daily labor was heavy, so he sent two maids to share his worries." '

Li An really regretted it at this time. Xia Jinyi originally asked him to send two outstanding maids, but on a whim, he actually sent two dancers, and his tone was sarcastic, but he got into trouble. Although this person was still a few steps away from him It was far away, but Li An only felt a slight chill coming from him. When he heard Jiang Zhe speak, he quickly said: "Yes, you are very skilled in martial arts, but you always do some servants' work. I think it can't be justified." '

Xiao Shunzi suddenly showed a faint smile, gave a salute, and said very respectfully: 'Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward. '

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Li Hanyou said to himself, Fortunately, this Xiao Shunzi has other weaknesses, but she didn't know that Xiao Shunzi and I had noticed her temptation and attention just now, but it was King Qi's gift that made Xiao Shunzi revealed that my biggest weakness was me, so I deliberately showed joy. In fact, although the book was good, it didn’t make me unable to hide my joy. I meant that people should start from me. I have There should be no problem with the protection of Xiao Shunzi and King Yong, but Xiao Shunzi soon discovered it, so taking advantage of the prince's sarcasm, he deliberately became angry and seemed to be unable to help but take action. This would make him If people think that he is not cultivated enough, he will not specifically target me. I know his intentions, but I can only let him do this. After all, in his heart, my safety is more important than anything else.

When Xiao Shunzi retreated behind me, Li Hanyou smiled and said: 'Our drinking party should begin. 'Actually, no one is interested at all, but since it has been agreed, it will naturally go ahead, and there is also a sense of comparison, so this time the drinking party started with a somewhat tense atmosphere. Before the drinking party started, Wei Ying said something vaguely. Many people didn't pay attention, but I heard it clearly. He said: "Today is really wonderful. The intrigues these people get together are more interesting than any other drama." nice. 'I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. When did I become a good show in the eyes of others? In the past, I was always a theatergoer.

At this time, Li Hanyou smiled and said: "The rules of this drinking order are not difficult. You need to say a place name first, and then you need to say a few poems. If it is appropriate, I will approve it. If it is not said well, then you will be fined." Three cups, we can’t imitate other people’s tricks, let me, the leader, decide the order. Regardless of the title or the order of advice, His Highness the Crown Prince comes first, so please come first. '

Li An had calmed down. He was a prince, and even if he was not proficient in poetry, he had read a few poems. He then said: "Chang'an - early summer is a time of spring scenery, and the light rises in the forbidden city." Zhu Rong will control the festival, and Emperor Yan will enlighten Zhu Ming. Send the remaining flowers every day and send them to you in the evening. The wind blows through the imperial garden and is clear. The suburbs are full of wheat, and the ponds and swamps are filled with lotus flowers. The shadows of trees move on the mountain, and birds fly into Han Qing. Fortunately, Yao and Yu were transformed, and the love in the valley was completely defeated. 'Everyone clapped and applauded, and I was one of them, but I thought in my heart that this person's favorite poems lacked the air of an emperor. It seems that he really has no destiny. Li An drank a glass, Li Hanyou also touched his lips a little, but Xiao Shunzi also had to drink a full glass.

Li Hanyou smiled and said: 'After the crown prince, he should be His Highness King Yong. '

Li Zhi said: "Youzhou - the sky is covered with grass and the sky is dusk, and the wind is blowing on the ground in autumn." I followed the long journey without any reason, and ended up wearing Wu Gou. 'After that, he drank a drink.

I understand in my heart that the entire poem quoted by His Highness King Yong is "The curtain of the Yellow Pavilion is opened, and the crown of Danqi is shining." He is the left prime minister of Gaotang and has the power to control the princes of Han Dynasty. If Zhou Nanhua is not changed, he will still be worried about Zhao Bei. Two banners passed through Yishui, and thousands of horses entered Youzhou. The grass is growing in the sky at dusk, and the wind is blowing on the ground in autumn. I followed the long journey without any reason, and ended up wearing Wu Gou. ‘This is clearly telling the prince that he only wants to be a prince. Although the prince certainly doesn’t believe it, it makes it difficult for others to find fault with him.

It was King Qi's turn next. Li Xian smiled slightly and said: "Jin Temple - walking deep in the forest and dawn, the spring pond is full of rewards." The articles are written through the ages, and the country is a military uniform. The wild sun is desolate and white, and the sad wind is flying slightly. There is no way to see the grand strategy, and it is contrary to the ambition to be so sparse. '

I played with the wine glass and thought to myself: 'It turns out that King Qi's heart is to pacify the Northern Han Dynasty. It seems that only fighting with the brave cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty is what he wants. This man is self-aware and knows that he has no status as an emperor. He wanted to be a general wholeheartedly, but unfortunately he got caught up in the struggle for the throne, and I'm afraid his ambition was in vain after all. ‘I looked at King Qi, his eyes full of regret, but I saw Li Xian looking at me as well, with an expression of unspeakable exhaustion.

Qin Yi said calmly: "Luoyang--step up to Beimang Ban and look at Luoyang Mountain in the distance." How lonely is Luoyang? All the palaces are burned down. The walls are all broken, and the thorns are towering to the sky. I don’t see the old elders, but I see the new young people. There is no path for one's feet, and there is no land left in the desolate land. The wanderer has not returned for a long time and does not know the strange places. The middle and wild areas are desolate and deserted for thousands of miles. Thinking of me, I am so angry that I can't speak. '

Others just ignored it and said it was Qin Yi who missed his homeland. They all knew that Qin Yi was from Luoyang, but Li Zhi was fascinated by what he heard and couldn't help but said: 'Is Luoyang really so desolate? '

Qin Yi remained silent and just drank a glass of wine silently. Li Zhi sighed: "Luoyang is a place of hundreds of battles. Years of continuous wars have caused people's livelihood to decline. I should give advice and ask my father to rebuild Luoyang." '

After hearing the dissatisfaction, Li An thought to himself, why are you talking so much? Don't I know how to remonstrate with my father? If you hadn't competed with me for the throne, I would have been handling government affairs with my heart. He thought so in his heart, but his face didn't show any expression.

Next, according to his official position, it was Xiahou Yuanfeng's turn. He smiled and said: "West Lake - the moon is cold and the cold springs cannot flow, so where can I return to the boat after singing songs." White apples and red polygonum are in the west wind, and the lake is the same color as the vast expanse of autumn. '

Everyone else said that Xia Houxuan's poems were elegant, but I smiled faintly. This man was thoughtful and clever, and he did not forget to conceal his temperament even when he recited poems. If he hadn't come to the door that day and confessed to rescuing the poisonous hand, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see through this person's face, and I would just think of him as a romantic young man.

Next, Lu Jingzhong said: "Changsha--Three years after being banished to the eunuch, he has been here for a long time. Only the guests of Chu will be left to mourn." After the autumn grass leaves alone to find someone, the sun sets in the cold forest sky. The Chinese language has a way of showing kindness but it is weak, and the Xiang River is ruthless. Where the lonely mountains and rivers are swaying, why should I take pity on you to the end of the world? ' He read in a cadence, but his eyes slanted towards me. Except for Jing Chi and Sima Xiong, who were not familiar with poetry, everyone looked embarrassed. Everyone knew that Lu Jingzhong was ridiculing me, saying that even though I was talented, Badou was not appreciated by Mingzhu. Naturally, in his mind, King Yong could not become the emperor. Moreover, Jia Yi injured himself as Fu Wuzhuang and died crying because of the death of King Liang Sheng falling from his horse. Lu Jingzhong's poems are vicious in meaning. It was actually King Yong who cursed me, Chu Ke, who would lose his assistant. I was another Jia Yi. Jia Yi died at the age of thirty-three. It seems that Lu Jingzhong will not let me live beyond that age.

A cold light of deep hatred flashed in King Yong's eyes. He was not angry at Lu Jingzhong for cursing him. Since he was an enemy, it was understandable to kill him with a knife, let alone a curse. However, Lu Jingzhong cursed Jiang Zhe for his early death. He was furious because Jiang Zhe had been very weak since his assassination. He was often worried that I would die of illness, so he was particularly angry at Lu Jingzhong's behavior. He was about to have a fit, but I had already said with a smile: "Young master Lu said it well. Zhe also admires Jia Yi very much. If I have the opportunity to go to Changsha, I must go to visit his former residence?" Jiang also accompanied the young master during this cup. 'After that, I drank the wine in the glass, and blood suddenly appeared on my pale face. Xiao Shunzi looked at Lu Jingzhong intently, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Lu Jingzhong felt a little regretful in his heart, he shouldn't have been so rude, but since this person entered Prince Yong's Mansion, he always felt that his plans were no longer smooth sailing, and he had been depressed for a long time. This time he couldn't help but ridicule Jiang Zhe, half of it was The other half of the anger was because he was quite skilled in medicine. Seeing that Jiang Zhe was weak and weak, he wanted to make him angry to death.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Wei Ying said, "It's my turn, Zhongnan - Zhongnan Yinlingxiu." Snow drifts in the clouds. The forest shows its bright color, and the city becomes colder at dusk. 'After he finished speaking, he had a drink. After this interruption, the atmosphere improved a bit. I thought to myself, this Wei Ying is indeed the tutor of the Prime Minister, and he is worthy of being the son of Prime Minister Wei. This poem is elegant and fresh, but it is a pity that it is not free from wealth and glory, and the shortcut to the south is known to the world.

Next it was the turn of several generals. Except Changsun Ji, they all had troubled expressions. At this moment, someone suddenly walked in in a hurry. He was a general from the Qin Mansion. Feeling embarrassed, he walked up to Qin Yi and whispered a few words. Qin Yi's body trembled and he waved his hand to repel the general. At this moment, several people from different forces broke into the school almost at the same time. They were the guards of the Crown Prince, King Yong, and King Qi. I heard clearly that they were all talking about the same thing. Just now, Someone attacked the army's armory in Weishui, burned all the military supplies there, and left a mark. The mark was a small piece of Han silk from Southern Chu. On the cold silk, which was as white as snow, there was written in blood 'Jinxiumeng' three characters.

For a moment, the Crown Prince, King Yong and King Qi all stood up to leave. Li Hanyou pretended not to know this change and stood up and said: "It's okay if others want to leave. We should wait until Mr. Jiang has passed the drinking order. Mr. Jiang, a talented man from Southern Chu, how can he do this?" Just leave. '

I know in my heart that she has set a trap. If I say that I like Nanchu, she will falsely accuse me of not forgetting my homeland. If I like Dayong, she will ridicule me that I do not miss my old love. I have already figured this out, so when I heard When she named him, I just said lightly: "He is good at drums, clouds and harp, and he often hears the spirit of the emperor's son." Feng Yikong dances by himself, and Chu Ke cannot listen. The bitter tone of the metal and stone, the voiceless sound enters the darkness. Cangwu comes to complain and admire, and Angelica dahurica has exhausted its labor. The flowing water flows through Xiaopu, and the sad wind passes through Dongting. At the end of the song, no one can be seen, and there are several green peaks on the river. --Zhe once heard that at the Xiang Concubine Temple in Junshan, Dongting, people often heard the harp and harp in the middle of the night, and every time they thought about it, they couldn't find it. Today, I use this as a drinking order. I don't know if it is okay. '

Li Han's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and the poems chosen by Jiang Zhe were full of ghosts, but the meaning was still unfinished and unfathomable, so he could only say angrily: "Master Jiang is right." "Slowly drank a little wine. Although Li Hanyou only had a little wine with each other, the strong wine of Qin Mansion was extremely mellow. At this moment, her face was already glowing with red clouds, which made her look even more beautiful. With such a light frown, she was even more beautiful. It was so beautiful that even the prince, who was in a hurry to deal with the trouble, and King Yong, who was worried, couldn't help but feel lost. Qin Qing was even more stunned, with only that beautiful figure in her eyes.
