Tyrant he always wants to hit me

Chapter 344 The guy in the east room?

Jingjing sighed heavily.The arrogance of the empress is really worrying. It seems that she doesn't know when she will fight with the king again.

"Your Majesty." The next morning, Li Yi went to Wei Rong's study and reported, "Yesterday, I visited Zhuge's Mansion at night, but did not find any trace of the queen."

"Really?" Wei Rong's eyes dimmed, feeling a little disappointed.Could it be that Ah Ying made a mistake in her judgment?Was Zhuge Ying abducted by a native of Shu?

Ever since he withdrew from the army, Su Fuyao hadn't heard from him at all.Maybe he was angry that he changed the plan without authorization.Moreover, Shangguan Lengyue returned to King Wu's palace again... Could it be that Su Fuyao's position has wavered?

Wei Rong was shocked.

The Kingdom of Shu can attack Wu with the Kingdom of Wei, and it can also jointly attack the Kingdom of Wei with the Kingdom of Wu. In addition, the Kingdom of Wei is now at a time when the monarch and his ministers are at odds, with internal and external troubles, and it is the easiest time to attack.However, the thing that worries him the most is...

Wei Rong stared at Li Yi in front of him, his expression gradually became complicated. "Last night, when you went to Zhuge Lin's mansion, did you hear anything?"

Li Yi's eyes dodged a little.

"Last night, the envoys sent by Su Fuyao quietly went to Zhuge Lin's mansion." Su Qingye said beside Zhaojun.

At this time, Zhaojun had just descended to court, and walked to the study together with Su Qingye, Su Qingye followed him, always following half a step behind him.

"Oh?" Zhaojun hooked the corners of his lips with interest.

"Su Fuyao wants to join forces with Zhuge Lin to attack the Kingdom of Wei. Su Fuyao makes an agreement with Zhuge Lin to help Zhuge Lin ascend to the throne after the matter is completed, but Zhuge Lin needs to give half of the land of Wei State."

"Did Zhuge Lin agree?"

"Zhu Gelin told the envoy that it needs to be considered."

"Hahahaha." Zhaojun couldn't help laughing, "This Su Fuyao really keeps jumping around all day long."

Su Qingye said: "Then according to the king, will Zhuge Lin agree?"

"If it's my king, absolutely not." Zhaojun raised the corners of his lips slightly, and his obsidian-like eyes were radiant.

"For one thing, Su Fuyao may not necessarily send troops, but just wants to instigate Zhuge Lin to send troops to rebel, and then watch the excitement. Although Zhuge Lin's troops are not as strong as Wei Rong, they will definitely destroy most of Wei's troops. At that time, Wei's vitality The best time to attack is a serious injury, and he can take advantage of this to eat Wei Guo."

"Secondly, even if Su Fuyao sends troops to help, with Su Fuyao's wolf ambition, the final outcome is very likely to eat Wei Rong with Zhuge Lin first, and then eat Zhuge Lin."

"The king is wise." Su Qingye said.

"The rice borer disaster, is there a plan to deal with it?"

"not yet."

Zhaojun frowned slightly, "How is the current food storage situation in various places?"

"It's not optimistic. It can take half a year at most. During the last season of planting, Wei and Shu suddenly issued a ban on rice, so the king reduced the amount of rice planting, and instead planted mulberry and silkworms. Therefore, there was not much grain in the previous year. , plus Wei Guo bought a large amount of rice earlier..."

Zhaojun's face gradually sank.

"Before, the king didn't realize it. It seems that all of this was a conspiracy between Wei and Shu from the very beginning." Zhaojun suddenly remembered that on that boat more than a year ago, Su Fuyao proposed to him to exchange silk for rice. I remember that when Wei Ying stopped him, he didn't know why, but now that I think about it, she probably knew something at that time... It's just how the rice borer was introduced into the territory of Wu?To be able to cause such a large-scale pest disaster, a considerable number of insect eggs must have been introduced at that time. The problem is that when importing and exporting, every checkpoint will pass strict inspections.

Zhaojun couldn't understand it.

Near noon, the Palace of Qianqing was very lively.

Due to the plague of insects this year, Zhaojun's birthday banquet was kept simple, only a small family banquet in the courtyard of Qianqing Palace, and a bowl of birthday noodles with a few concubines in the harem. Even the ministers did not have a banquet.Except for Murong Yun who came uninvited.

Murong Yun sat in the middle of the group of concubines dressed up in fancy dress, like a little green among thousands of flowers, with black hair like ink, white clothes fluttering, and his appearance was not inferior to those concubines at all.

Murong Yun's eyes sneaked around the faces of those concubines, but he didn't see Wei Ying.

Wei Ying's house is not far from the courtyard, so the commotion over there can still be faintly heard.

"Your Majesty." Jingjing gently pushed her.

"Don't go." Wei Ying lay on the couch and flipped through the script, and found that the current script was getting worse and worse. After reading a few pages, she could guess the ending, and she didn't want to read a word.

"Mistress, if you don't go, those empresses should be proud again. There are rumors in the palace that you and the king had a quarrel. If you don't go, won't the rumors be confirmed?" Jingjing persuaded from the side.

"This is the truth, there's nothing wrong with it." Wei Ying rolled her eyes and said indifferently.

"Oh, ma'am!" Jingjing looked helpless.

"Sleep, don't bother me." Wei Ying pulled the brocade quilt over her head.

In fact, she quietly prepared his birthday present a month ago.She made the tassels with her own hands, one for him and one for her. On his sword tassel was a small fish made of suet jade, while hers was a kitten.

Now, I am afraid that this sword tassel will not be able to be sent out. Thinking about it, I feel a little sad.

The birthday banquet in Qianqing Palace has already started. Zhaojun sits at the front, and the empresses of the other palaces sit next. According to their status, the higher status sits closer to Zhaojun, but everyone eats the same as Zhaojun.

Palace servants from the imperial dining room filed in one after another, and brought a bowl of noodles to every lady who came. The noodle soup was chicken soup, and only vegetables and poached eggs were added to the noodles.

Seeing the food in front of them, the concubines looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhaojun glanced at those concubines, and raised his voice: "This year's famine, everything should be kept simple, starting with me. My lord, I also hope that you can uphold the principle of frugality and avoid extravagance and waste on weekdays."

"Yes." All the concubines said in unison.

Zhaojun continued: "From today onwards, three dishes will be subtracted from the king's daily dishes, and one dish will be reduced from each palace's daily dishes."

"Yes."

"Let's have dinner, everyone."

After Zhaojun finished speaking, the concubines began to eat.

Zhaojun also raised his chopsticks, and was about to sip, when he suddenly remembered something, and ordered with a blank expression, "Go and give a bowl to that person in the east room."

"The man in the east room?" At this moment, Wei Ying stood in front of him, pointing at herself, "Is it me?"

A gleam of joy flickered in Zhaojun's eyes, but soon his face sank, and he pursed his lips tightly.

Wei Ying bit her lip, "I have a gift for you."

Zhaojun didn't respond, Wei Ying reached out and tugged at his sleeve, but with a light tug, he got up and walked out with her.

The concubines in the palace could not help but sigh.

On the edge of the pillars outside the Hall of Qianqing, the two stood silently, facing each other.
