Since receiving the transfer from the imperial court, Liu Yu put down his work and rushed to Jiankang non-stop.
This was a little beyond Wang Mi's expectation.
How could Liu Yu obey orders so much?
It was really not like his style. Wang Mi originally thought that Liu Yu would hesitate for a while after receiving such a nondescript transfer order.
It seems that Liu Yu's mentality has not changed yet. He still puts himself in the position of a minister and regards obeying orders as his bounden duty.
Entering Jiankang City, Liu Yu had already slowed down. However, even so, his pursuit still caused quite a disturbance in the city.
There were not many pedestrians on Wuyi Alley, and most of the people traveling on the broad avenue were slow oxcarts.
When the children of aristocratic families travel together, what they want is not speed, but dignity and pomp. They will never let the bullock carts speed on the road.
People need to pay attention to their gait when walking, and the same goes for cows.
It seems that lifting the legs and wagging the tail are also very particular, and they are not in a hurry.
Others are calm and elegant, but Liu Yu's horse is like a speeding rocket, how can it not attract people's attention.
"Where did the barbarians come from!"
"How dare you be so arrogant in Wuyi Alley!"
Xi Hui covered his nose with his hands and frowned. He didn't even see clearly who was sitting on the horse, so he asked the driver to write down the person's origin.
hehe……
A gentleman's revenge is never too late!
I have remembered this grudge!
You must pay it back tenfold!
Xi Hui had a short temper and would never allow others to treat him lightly. Seeing that the morning court time had passed, Liu Yu was anxious, but he did not expect that he had inadvertently offended a well-known official in Jiankang City.
"Send a slave!"
"You finally came!"
The letter that Liu Yu was about to take up his post in Jiankang City was delivered to Jiankang City just the night before, only a few hours ahead of his master.
Therefore, Wang Mi didn't have time to tell his good brothers about the good news, and even Shen Suanzi, who lived in the same courtyard, didn't know anything about it.
Seeing Liu Yu, Suanzi immediately complained about Wang Mi. They were brothers who had been together on the battlefield in Xiangyang, and he dared to conceal the news!
"Therefore, you are here too!"
Seeing Tan Pingzhi's big and honest face, Wang Mi was even more surprised.
He was very clear about the content of the imperial edict, which only said that Liu Yu should come to Jiankang to be the commander-in-chief of the army, but did not mention Tan Pingzhi.
Now that Lao Tan is here, isn't Jingkou completely empty?
I heard that Xie Xuan also rushed back to Jingkou two days ago. Is it possible that the Xie family will dominate the Beifu army again?
Wang Mi was very confused about Liu Yu's arrangement. He didn't believe that Liu Yu could not see the problems with this arrangement with his intelligence.
Of course Liu Yu had a reason for doing this.
Before Wang Mi could ask his question, he was already rushing to answer it.
"Now that General Xie has returned to Jingkou, I thought that if I stay in Jingkou, my stay in Jingkou will arouse General Xie's suspicion. I might as well take advantage of the signs from the court and come to Jiankang to see the situation."
Wang Mi nodded in agreement. Liu Yu's considerations were still very realistic. After working together in Beifu for a while, Wang Mi still believed that Xie Xuan still had the courage to command thousands of troops and horses.
He is tolerant, but no one can tell how far this tolerance can go.
At least, in Wang Mi's view, since most of the current generals in Beifu are inferior to Xie Xuan in ability, he can certainly tolerate them and accept them happily.
However, Liu Yu is different.
As soon as he entered Beifu, his sharp edge was revealed and he could not hide it. He could not keep a low profile at all.
Xie Xuan would never allow such a capable person to develop in Beifu. Even if Liu Yu dangled in front of his eyes every day, he might be so angry that he would scratch his heart and liver.
It would be better to go to Jiankang City to hide for a while and observe the situation.
Although Wang Mi comforted himself in this way, his face still showed a look of worry unconsciously. After all, the situation in Beifu still made him uneasy.
Liu Yu had long known that he would think this way, even if he was riding on a horse, even if it was a little late for a few people to go to court.
He still seized the opportunity and tried his best to explain to Wang Mi: "Zhiyuan, that's why I thought twice before letting him come with me this time."
"You don't have to worry about Beifu, Yongzhi is watching over you!"
Chant it?
Oh, right!
Yin Zhongkan said that Wei Yongzhi's harelip had been cured and he immediately defected to Beifu.
"Yongzhi has just joined Beifu. Compared to those of us who have already gained military exploits, General Xie will be less prepared for Yongzhi, making it easier for Yongzhi to act."
"Furthermore, I can tell you that in comparison, Yongzhi has more strategies and is thoughtful, so he is more suitable to stay in Beifu than him."
"hey-hey!"
"I'm a big man, so fighting is more suitable for me. Let me stay behind, and I'm sure nothing will be seen out of the ordinary." Tan Pingzhi scratched his neck and said bluntly.
Wang Mi was also grateful for Tan Pingzhi's open-mindedness.
"You are right. Yongzhi is more suitable to stay in Beifu than you. This time when I go to court, you will follow me first. As long as the opportunity is right, I will find you another job."
Tan Pingzhi came to Jiankang as Liu Yu's adjutant. His small general position was also limited to Beifu. When he came to Jiankang, of course he could no longer use those official positions.
"Besides, as I told you last time, I recently made a new friend, a bookkeeper named Liu Muzhi. This person is knowledgeable and talented, and his hands are not sluggish in his work. He is always clear-minded."
"I also left him in Beifu. With his care, all movements in Beifu will not escape our eyes."
To Liu Muzhi!
And this person!
With him here, Wang Mi can generally rest assured, although Wang Mi wants to see him more than letting him stay in Jingkou.
However, now that the two groups of people are separated in two places, it seems that Wang Mi cannot decide whether Liu Muzhi is willing to come to Jiankang or not.
At this stage, Liu Muzhi's stay in Jingkou can indeed play a greater role.
They come, the security.
Wang Mi had already thought about where Tan Pingzhi and the others would stay.
There is no need to go to another place to build a new house. It is very good to live with Xie Minghui in the palace before he gets married.
He informed Liu Yu of his proposal. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu agreed immediately without any hesitation.
As for Lao Tan, he even laughed and said happily that as long as he had no worries about food and drink, he didn't have to worry about anything and it was all up to Wang Mi's arrangement.
The group of people rushed to Jiankang Palace with laughter and joy. Among the group, the only disappointed person was probably Shen Suanzi who was pushed aside and turned into a background.
Liu Yu and others came to join Wang Mi. Of course she had no objection. As a comrade in Xiangyang battlefield, Liao Zi was also very kind to them when they saw them.
However, she soon felt uncomfortable.
The brothers were chatting happily, but she gradually couldn't get a word in. The key was that no one even thought of taking care of her despite being ignored.
Isn’t this an existence that no one cares about?
There is no such truth in the world!
If you want to chat, bring her with you!
unfair!
This is not fair at all!
Faced with such injustice, Shen Suanzi is by no means a person who waits to die. She is already prepared to find a sense of presence in Jiankang Palace!
right!
Find some sense of presence for yourself!
…………
"Yuanbao, your majesty hasn't gotten up yet?"
"Are you going to urge me again?"
The great court meeting had already begun, and this time, it was no longer His Majesty who was anxious, but the dozens of ministers who were standing in the main hall.
Especially Wang Gong, who was eager to try, while others just stayed there, whispering to each other from time to time to relieve their boredom.
Wang Gong, on the other hand, could neither stand nor sit down. He had been pacing back and forth since he came to the main hall.
Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer, so he urged Yuan Bao to wake up Sima Yao.
Yuan Bao was also in a dilemma. He smashed his mouth and glanced in the direction of the palace, but did not move.
"You don't know, His Majesty has already woken up, but, just, he can't get up yet."
Since you're already awake, why don't you get up?
The ministers obviously didn't understand Yuanbao's twinkling eyes and kept asking questions. Yuanbao had no choice but to tell the truth.
He didn't dare to shout out in front of all the ministers, so he could only walk to Wang Gong's side in a small step and said softly: "Wang Danyang, Mrs. Pei is with His Majesty now. Your Majesty may have to wait a while before coming back."
Although it is the duty of every close eunuch to wake up His Majesty, as a slippery eunuch who knows how to handle affairs, Yuanbao has long understood the principle of advancing when he can and retreating when he should.
It was at a time when Sima Yao and the Pei family were inseparable, and he, a rootless man, just got involved in things blindly.
I don’t want to get into trouble with this!
"What!"
"You mean, that enchantress Pei is still with His Majesty?" Wang Gong became anxious upon hearing this!
The witch brings disaster to the country!
Don’t be honest!
If it were Zhang Guiren, he might be able to bear it, but Mr. Pei absolutely couldn't bear it!
Others don't know Pei's origin, so Wang Gong can't. Ever since he saw her clothes that day, and what he heard about her actions in the palace in recent days, Wang Gong has already concluded that this woman is.
He must be the disciple of the evil Taoist Sun Tai!
Ever since Sun Tai appeared in Jiankang City, Wang Gong had been vigilant and took every precaution, but he could not prevent the fortress from being breached from within.
The traitor inside this fortress is none other than Langya King Sima Daozi.
Wang Gong never expected that Sima Daozi would be so stupid as to personally introduce the demon disciple to Sima Yao.
Isn't this digging the ancestral graves of his Sima family?
Before Yuan Bao had time to answer, Wang Gong rushed towards the bedroom!
Behind him, his two generals, Heng Ha, had also arrived. They were Yin Zhongkan, who had the same hot temper, and Wang Xun, who had followed them for some reason.
People without a backbone are prone to drifting with the crowd. You see, when Wang Xun stepped into the emperor's chamber, he realized that he had gone the wrong way and should not have followed him at all.
It's a pity that it's too late, and it's impossible to get out again!
"Walk!"
"Let's go invite His Majesty to court!"
A group of ministers dared to break into the emperor's palace. Such a magical event would have been unthinkable in other dynasties, let alone happened.
However, in this precarious late Jin Dynasty, it really happened!
Wang Gong was not a person who could rub sand out of his eyes. Ever since he saw Pei Jiaoer entering the palace that day, he had been holding fire in his heart.
I really want to burn this voluptuous woman!
To capture the thief, capture the king first!
Wang Gong is not a confused person. He has already seen that the fundamental reason why Pei Jiaoer can make Sima Yao not think about political affairs again and again is not because of Pei Jiaoer.
The chief culprit is Sima Yao, who is obsessed with beauty.
What are you waiting for?
Now that you have discovered the problem, solve it quickly!
Wang Gong led a large group of people and ran towards the palace with bold strides. Behind him, some people gradually followed.
Don't have too high expectations for these people, they are just here to watch the fun. If Wang Gong makes a careless operation and causes trouble, they will not care about his life or death.
Guaranteed to jump away immediately.
Wang Mi, Liu Yu and others, rushed into the White Gate in a hurry, tied up their horses, and rushed towards the palace gate without delaying a step.
But he didn't expect that before he stepped onto the corridor in front of the palace gate, he saw a group of people rushing out in a menacing manner.
what happened?
What kind of battle is this?
It’s a great court meeting, why can’t it be held?
Could it be that Sima Yao died?
Sima Daozi picked up a big leak out of thin air and took over in advance?
"Zhiyuan, what should we do?"
Although Liu Yu was scheming, he was still an honest man after all. He really couldn't react to such a sudden change.
At this time, we can only turn to Wang Mi for help.
"What else can be done?"
"Follow me!"
Before Liu Yu and others could catch up, Wang Mi had already caught up. He had a clear goal and never intended to follow Wang Gong.
Instead, he aimed at his own Wang Xun.
Wang Xun was just following him at will, but Wang Mi grabbed him and he stopped easily.
"Dharma protector, what happened?"
"Where is your Majesty?"
Although he didn't know what happened in the main hall, the sharp-eyed Wang Mi soon discovered that the throne in Xianyang Hall was actually empty.
No one could be found, let alone Sima Yao.
Liu Yu was also surprised. The two young generals who came to Beijing for the first time did not expect that as soon as they entered the city, they would go directly to the court. Logically speaking, their brothers would not be able to attend the court.
Not to mention, it is also good to come to Jiankang Palace for a long experience. However, it is really strange that I did not see His Majesty the Emperor.
"His Majesty?"
"Still in the dormitory, haven't gotten up yet!"
Seeing Wang Mi, Wang Xun immediately felt as if he had met his relatives. He did not deny that his heart, which was still hanging just now, actually calmed down a bit.
"Still in the dormitory?"
"Isn't today's court meeting already scheduled?"
The strange thing is that Wang Mi has been so obsessed with making pistols recently that he has forgotten such an important thing as Sima Yao having a little goblin next to him.
It really shouldn't be the case. After Wang Xun's prompting, Wang Mi suddenly realized that this was what happened.
"What is Aning doing?"
"If you go to the dormitory now, you won't get anything good!"
Wang Mi deliberately delayed and dragged Wang Xun to the back row of the crowd, but Wang Xun didn't feel any discomfort. He originally thought this matter was quite ridiculous.
However, when his eyes fell on the face of the handsome little book boy in a blue shirt, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Aning framed you like that. I didn't expect that you were still thinking about him." Wang Xun was very fair this time.
For some reason, Wang Mi always felt that Wang Xun's attitude towards him had changed a lot since the last time he made a statement that the family could not turn their elbows outward.
From his point of view, it seems that he is really regarded as a family member.
