Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 980
King Huainan thought that this boring state would last for a few more days. He was not a strong character, and after being reprimanded by his sister, he was embarrassed to leave and return to the fort.

However, in the early morning of the next day, brother-in-law Shen Weizhou was not in a hurry to return to the Dudu Mansion, and stayed in the villa to wait for him. After having breakfast together, Shen Zhezi said to Huainan King with a smile: "Your Majesty came to the town to see you. I should accompany my relatives to take a look at the scenery of Huainan, but I really can't spare the time. Besides, the army of the king's division is still outside, and the defense is inevitably weak, so I dare not invite the king to go outside by himself. However, in the near future, the government will invite you to hang around here. I don’t know if Your Majesty is willing to go with you at that time, so as to see the favor of the time?”

After all, the King of Huainan did not lose his youthful temperament, and nodded after hearing the words: "I originally hoped to follow my brother-in-law to increase my knowledge, but I was afraid of disturbing my brother-in-law's official duties, so I didn't dare to ask for it."

Too bad you've bothered a lot already.

After hearing the words, Shen Zhezi sighed in his heart. To be honest, although he is not very close to King Huainan, he still has to admit that this brother-in-law's docile personality is almost harmless. A good choice to keep the family business.

It's a pity that he was born in the royal family by mistake, and the little majesty left by the current royal family is not enough to protect him.Even the empress dowager, who thought she had educated and protected King Huainan, was actually just a sign offered by several ruling sects after compromise.

"If that's the case, please wait a few days in the king's court. If your king wants to go out for a leisurely stroll, remember to prepare all his followers, and please don't leave the city too far."

After Shen Zhezi gave a few more instructions, he went out and returned to the Dudu Mansion.No matter what the king of Huainan himself has in mind, Shen Zhezi cannot put him under house arrest in the courtyard based on his status alone. For viewing.

The king of Huainan himself was not in a hurry to do anything in Huainan, and making more visits was also a task entrusted to him by his mother and queen before leaving.His character is that he does not want to disappoint the people close to him, so after pondering for a while, he sent someone to inform his brother Zhuge Pei and others who stayed in the fort, hoping to dispel the grievances of these people along the way. .

After the messengers arrived at the fort, most of Zhuge Teng and others were no longer in the fort and entered Shouchun City.

Although the siege of Huainan soldiers was just a false alarm before, it also alerted Zhuge Teng and others. Right now, Huainan is Shen Weizhou's home field after all, and they have no strength to resist at all.They came to Huainan once, but they couldn't do nothing, so they took the time to visit Shouchun City frequently in the name of visiting friends.

When they returned to the garrison in the evening, everyone knew that King Huainan had sent them back, so they got together to discuss.

"Shen Weizhou's desire for power is high, and he is afraid that others will enter the town to divide up the power. Before that, I was cold all the way to the north. This is the root cause. Now why is he willing to arrange this time to visit the king?"

He Fang frowned and said.

"Or I waited for the past two days to invite old people here frequently to make him alert. He didn't dare to imprison us here, so he wanted to use this to drag us down. Or maybe it was a thoughtful way to get everyone together. In short, it is impossible for us to come into contact with this situation without any restrictions."

Zhuge Li clapped his hands like a general to interrupt everyone's discussion, and said: "Although it is not a battle right now, everyone should be cautious. Shen Weizhou is not a vulgar person, and any actions should not be judged by vulgar sentiments. Right now I mean that Huainan's knowledge and experience are still very shallow, and the most urgent thing to do is to focus on the heart and not to distract too much. Let's talk about what each of you has gained."

When everyone heard this, they let go of the discussion of this matter for the time being. To be honest, they each had a shadow of Shen Weizhou in their hearts, and they really didn't want to face it directly.

When talking about the gains of the two days, everyone also expressed their own opinions.The Dudu Mansion itself did not prohibit the subordinate officials of the mansion from meeting with them, and more of the Dudu Mansion's subordinate officials also came from Jiangdong, and they more or less had some relationships and friendships.So they have seen many old people in the past two days, but when it comes to substantial gains, there is really nothing to report.

"You don't need to be discouraged. Good friends meet again after a long absence. It's inevitable to be unfamiliar. What's more, Shen Weizhou holds great power for a long time and has the ability to control his subordinates. But I believe that rebellious people can't last long. As long as they continue, there will be opportunities take advantage of."

Speaking of this, Zhuge Teng looked at Yuan Dan who was sitting in another seat, who was quite sick, and asked, "Receive for two days, I wonder if brother Yan Dao's health has improved?"

Yuan Dan had been ill before his journey to the north, and his illness became heavier due to the exhaustion of the journey, so he has been lying in bed for two days to recuperate.Hearing Zhuge Teng's question, he sighed and said: "The climate and scenery in Jiangbei are different from Jiangdong after all. After many days of idleness, I feel more and more heavy."

When Zhuge Teng heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart.Although both belong to Nandu family, they also have their own social circles. In the past, most of Zhuge Teng's contacts were from Qingxu family, but most of the officials of the Dudu's Mansion came from Jiangdong and Yuzhou.Zhuge Cong wanted to have some ambitions in his northward march this time, so he strongly invited Yuan Dan to go with him.

He had high hopes for Yuan Dan, among other things, if he could get on line with Xie Renzu based on Yuan Dan's relationship, it would be better than attracting many other small fish and shrimps.As a result, Yuan Dan was ill all the time, and he was unwilling to take the initiative to invite Xie Shang because of his serious illness. He wasted a lot of time, and the effect he played was not even as good as Cai Xi, He Fang and others whom he was not optimistic about.

Yuan Dan was also aware of Zhuge Cong's dissatisfaction. He didn't need to look at Zhuge Cong's face, and even surpassed him in terms of qualifications. , I waited so urgently to invite my old friend, why on earth?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Teng's expression froze. To be honest, he didn't have a clear intention, he just wanted to grab some of Shen Weizhou's painful feet. As for what he could do with it, he hadn't figured it out yet.

"Brother Yan Dao's words are wrong. Although we don't have an edict to go north this time, since we are kings and ministers, we must remember to collect rumors. Especially in Huainan, our actions are related to the stability of Jiangdong. Brother Dao may not know that just before I arrived at the border, Duke Xi of Xuzhou left the administration without authorization and hurried to Huainan, what did he do? No one knows!"

Before Zhuge Teng could answer, He Fang had already spoken first.Xi Jian is old, and his adoptive father He Chong is very likely to fight for the position in Xuzhou, so after learning about this incident, He Chong felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

Hearing what He Fang said, Liu Yin, who had never spoken all this time, suddenly said, "He Lang has to be careful about what he says. This kind of confidentiality has to be dealt with by the ministers and counselors in Taiwan. Yu Zi can't talk about it!"

Speaking of this, he stood up from the table and said to Yuan Dan: "Come to visit after the old acquaintance today, and give me some rare goods from Huai Shang, would Yan Dao wish to share his works together?"

After Yuan Dan heard the words, he also got up, looked at Zhuge Teng with a rather gloomy expression, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.He remembered that Zhuge Teng was not lacking in calmness in his early years, but in recent years, with his family's prosperity, he has become more and more frivolous.Especially He Fang, who is similar to him in the same army, dares to speculate on this kind of Fang Bo's secrets, he just can't get his position right!

Seeing those two people get up and leave, Zhuge Peng's face inevitably became more ugly, especially his dissatisfaction with Liu Yin was even deeper.This old man is self-confident that he has deep experience and has never been able to get along. Just now everyone was talking about the communication situation, but he didn't talk about Wen Fang's visit to him before.

Because Liu Yin and Yuan Dan withdrew, the atmosphere in the room turned awkward for a while, Zhuge Teng was silent for a moment before he said: "Since we are worthy to be the king's servants, we can't think of ourselves for nothing. The king is quiet and generous, and has always been widely praised by Jiang Dong's sages." Liu praises. Huainan used to be a border town, but now it is an inner city. Although Shen Weizhou has the ability to expand the border, benevolence and righteousness are not his forte. The king has made great progress, and there is no leisure for anyone with talents. Hope you all do your best.”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded.In today's world, Xuanya and nothingness are no longer respected. Although they each have a high starting point, they still have to work hard on what the future holds.

At this time, Cai Xi raised his hand again and said: "I heard that Shan Yanlin is now serving the judiciary in Huainan. He is just and mighty, and everyone fears him. Although he has no reputation, he is known as honest. If he can go to the forum, There will be a lot to gain.”

Zhuge Li's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and then he looked at everyone in the table and asked, "I wonder who can talk to the Shan family?"

"I can give it a try. My father used to be in Dongyang, and Shan Yanlin used to work under the door."

He Fang raised his hand and said.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but praise He Fang, which eased the embarrassment that He Fang had been scolded by Liu Yin before, and made up his mind to use this as a breakthrough to peek into Huainan's shell.If Shen Weizhou's many crimes can be dug out, even if he can't shake his current status, he will be at a disadvantage when Taichung discusses the ownership of Xuzhou later.

At the end of the discussion, someone mentioned Huainan King's message again, should they accompany them?
Thinking of this question, Zhuge Teng couldn't help feeling dizzy. He really didn't want to contact Shen Weizhou again from the bottom of his heart.Being ridiculed directly in front of him in the garrison before has already cast a great shadow on his heart, if he is ridiculed in public again this time, it will definitely be even more embarrassing.

Seeing that Zhuge Teng was silent, Cai Xi said angrily: "Since we entered the north, we have encountered cold all the way. Even in terms of personal feelings, Shen Weizhou is extremely rude! Since he is so inferior to us, why should we tend to behave like that?" Finally! In my opinion, even the king does not need to be invited to go."

Hearing this, Zhuge Teng's heart moved, thinking that this might be a way to fight back against Shen Weizhou.He set up a scene, but in the end all the guests were not there, which also made him lose face in front of all the guests.

"We are not good friends on the seat, and there is no need to discuss with each other. However, it is not up to us to decide whether the king will go or not. We can just send someone to reply later."

After pondering for a while, Zhuge Cong said, in fact, if they were all absent, the King of Huainan would not look too good on face, but thinking that the King of Huainan was slightly indifferent to him after having a secret talk with Yu Bin, Zhuge Cong also felt that he should We should take this opportunity to let King Huainan understand that most of the majesty of the King Zong depends on his subordinates.
