Chapter 541 Your daughter? She is my succubus!
Seven days later.
It’s time to return home.
After Rong Fengxiang died, Rong Jiaojiao recognized Wang Shichong as her godfather, so her natal family was undoubtedly Shangshu Mansion.
The quiet pavilion in the back garden of the palace.
In summer, when the windows are opened, a cool breeze will flow through the hall. In winter, the surrounding windows are tightly closed, a layer of thick curtains is put up, and a fire pit or heater is placed in the middle, which is also a good place to keep out the cold. Place.
Wang Shichong sat facing the door wearing a fur coat, while Wang Xuanying wore a brocade robe, and from time to time he stretched his hands to the hot copper stove to bake them.
Yun Gong can protect you from the cold, but if you use Qigong all the time, you can't concentrate on communication.
Squeak.
Rong Jiaojiao, who was wearing a fox fur coat outside her undergarment, closed the door, walked to the father and son and sat down in front of them.
Wang Shichong asked: "Where is Chai Shao?"
"He was helping me smash walnuts in front. He said that the servants were careless and always broke the walnut kernels. He was worried, so he just made it himself and said he would eat it. With intact walnut kernels, the sons born in the future will be smart.”
Wang Xuanying saw that there were no eyebrows or hair on the face, and he returned home fresh and bare-faced, except that his bun was made by a girl who had not left the pavilion. The cross bun was replaced by the young woman's sexy flying fairy bun. Obviously her eyes are still the same, her nose is still the same, and her mouth is still the same, but her whole person is completely new, and she is full of charm from the inside out. A seductive energy that makes people feel bone-chilling.
"Jiaojiao, you have changed a lot since you got married."
Rong Jiaojiao's eyes flashed, and she said sweetly: "Brother, please elaborate, where has Jiaojiao changed?"
This sentence made all the hairs on Wang Xuan Yingdian's body stand up.
Wang Shichong was also slightly absent-minded, but he quickly reacted and coughed lightly and said: "Yesterday the Queen Mother came to me to discuss an important matter."
Hearing the word "important" , Wang Xuanying forced himself to look away from Rong Jiaojiao's face.
“What’s the matter?”
“Have you all heard the news that Chang’an released in order to prevent the marriage between King Chai and his family? The Empress Dowager wanted me to marry Chai Shen. Put on a show to trick Li Yuan into coming to the East Capital for imprisonment.”
"Bitter meat trick?"
"Yes."
"What if Li Yuan doesn't come?"
"If he doesn't come, the Li family's credit will go bankrupt."
What is the biggest feature of the Li family? Fooling! Not only Chu Pingsheng knew this, but Wang Xuanying also knew that once Wang Shichong lost power, the Empress Dowager proved her wisdom with practical actions. If the Li family did not come, they would be reneging on their word, and the generals and soldiers who believed in the Li family would also have second thoughts. , no longer loyal and without hesitation.
"But dad..."
Wang Shichong knew what his son was worried about, what if Xiao Meiniang's fake act came true.
"That's why I went to Jiaojiao to discuss it. Now, the forces in the world that can really pose a threat to us are the Lingnan Song clan, the other is Li Mi of Wagangzhai, and the other is Li Yuan. Lingnan and Luoyang are in the middle It can be said that the three forces of Xiao Xian, Lin Shihong, and Zhu Can are beyond their reach. Li Mi of Wagangzhai is now restricted by Yu Wenhua. It is impossible to use troops against Luoyang before the victory is determined between the two sides. He did not retreat to defend after taking Xingyang. Well, once Li Yuan takes Luoyang, he will lay the foundation for his hegemony. If he retreats, he can defend the fertile land in Guanzhong, and if he advances, he will look at the Central Plains. As for Li Gui and Xue Ju in the northwest, they are just a deliberate indulgence of the Li family to interfere with the heroes of the Central Plains. judgment, so as not to unite to fight against the Li family."
"Father, you mean that the Li family is our biggest concern?"
"Yes, at least at this point, we are not the same as Tai. The interests of the Queen Mother are the same.”
"Father is inclined to act in this scene?"
Wang Shichong looked at Rong Jiaojiao, who was frowning and thinking, "That depends on the attitude of the Chai family."
"Father, Chai Shao is nothing to worry about now. I have a plan to persuade Chai Shen to switch sides."
Rong Jiaojiao said something with a smile on her face.
The father and son looked at each other and agreed that it was feasible. With a son like Chai Shao, could Chai Shen betray him?
Wang Xuanying said: "Jiaojiao, are you really sure that Chai Shao will listen to you?"
She was about to answer when she heard someone calling from outside: "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao..."
< br>It’s Chai Shao here.
“Husband, I am here.”
Rong Jiaojiao responded in a sweet voice.
Soon, Jingxuan's door was pushed open, and Chu Pingsheng walked into the room with a chill.
"Father-in-law, uncle, you are all here."
Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Chai Shao, look at you, your hands are red from the cold, hurry up, get to the copper furnace Let’s warm ourselves up in front of the fire.”
“It’s okay, I’m not cold.”
After saying this, Chu Pingsheng stopped talking to Wang and his son and hurriedly opened the silk in his hands. There was a beautiful figure underneath. In the food box, there are walnut kernels that are completely peeled and shiny.
"Jiaojiao, look, I can peel it off better than the servant."
"Husband, you are so amazing, not even one of you is broken."
She opened her little Mouth, looking at him flirtatiously: "I want you to feed me."
Chu Pingsheng picked up one as if no one else was around and handed it to her tempting mouth: "Come on, ah..."< br>
“Ah...”
Wang Shichong and his son looked at the two extremely loving people and thought that what Rong Jiaojiao said was solid. Chu Pingsheng also felt that he was stable. He lost his wife and then lost his troops? For an elite monster like Wang Shichong that can explode with top-quality equipment, how can it be enough to only brush it once? How many times should it be brushed?
……
Three days later, morning meeting.
The civil and military officials were sitting on the left and right. At the head was the little emperor who had not had a good rest last night and had been dozing off. Behind the bead curtain was the empress dowager who was sitting upright and growing in majesty.
No one spoke, it was quiet, because the situation was very wrong. Just now, Chai Shao, the minister of war and the general of the left guard, had his father-in-law and father-in-law ginseng.
That’s right, it had only been ten days since the bride’s arrival that this boy turned against her and made big news at the court meeting.
Wow, wow.
The bead curtain made a soft sound.
Everyone turned around and saw that it was the Empress Dowager who had stood up, passed through the curtain with her beautiful hands, and threw the memorial heavily on the red carpet in front of her. This frightened the little emperor and made him drowsy. .
This shows how angry the Queen Mother was.
"Wang Shichong, let me ask you, what is your relationship with Rong Fengxiang?"
Wang Shichong stood up hurriedly and walked to the middle, lowered his head and said: "The Empress Dowager Qi, I and him are She is a good friend and has adopted Rong Jiaojiao as her adopted daughter. Many people know about this."
Xiao Meiniang said coldly: "Now that Rong Jiaojiao has married into the Chai family, she is attracted by Chai Aiqing and her son, and she is devoted to the Sui Dynasty. , confessed that his father Rong Fengxiang had contacted Ren'en, the leader of the Green Snake Gang, and asked him to contact Song Shidao, the son of Song Que in Lingnan, to make friends with Li Mi. "
"Chen... no. Know? ”
"I don't know?"
"Rong Fengxiang is a casino owner with no soldiers and no power. If no one has any far-reaching plans behind him, why would he associate with traitors like Song Que and Li Mi?"
"I really don't know."
Wang Shichong quickly knelt down and couldn't get up.
"Rong Jiaojiao said that she saw you and her father having secret discussions in the study many times, and she was not even allowed to listen in. You said you didn't know? Wang Shichong, do you think I am easy to fool?"< br>
"This... minister's loyalty to the Sui Dynasty... can be learned."
"Humph, there is a lesson in loyalty? Lord Wang's subtext is that he is not afraid of investigation? In this case, what about the Minister of Civil Affairs and Zuo Yiwei? Don't be a general. For the sake of your merit in supporting Emperor Tai, the title will be retained for the time being until Ren En's explanation is completed and the whole story of the incident is found out and then dealt with."
"The Emperor. The Queen Mother..."
"And your son, General You Xiaowei, please spare me." She tilted her head slightly and looked to the left: "Chai Shao"
"Chen. in.”
"You have made a meritorious report. You will temporarily command Zuo Yiwei. The position of general will be determined until a suitable candidate is found."
"I obey the order."
Chu Pingsheng raised his head and took a look. At a glance, the two people's eyes met through the curtain, as if they were cemented.
Wang Shichong shouted with full reluctance: "The Empress Dowager...I am really unjust."
However, even if he cried out, no one dared to stand up and plead for mercy, because the ministers were not Fools, they have seen what happened now. They all thought that Wang Shichong was playing tricks and pushed Rong Jiaojiao out to replace his illegitimate daughter. The Chai family was deceived because of their greed for money. They didn't expect that things were not that simple - if you married into the Chai family It is Dong Shuni who is married to Chai Shao. Chai Shao can use his status as son-in-law to encroach on the military power of the Wang family without causing the Wang and his son to backlash. If Rong Jiaojiao is married into the Chai family, he can use her as a breakthrough point to find the Wang and his son. The evidence of collusion with Rong Fengxiang will kill him with one blow.
The result of the people at Yushitai preventing the Empress Dowager from listening to politics behind the curtain is there. Although Mr. Feng is gone, Mr. You is still there. To stand up and speak for Wang Shichong in this situation is to seek death.
"Zheng Guogong, aren't you grateful?"
At this moment, a high-pitched voice came from under the Queen Mother's seat.
Everyone in the court knew that this was not the eunuch who was shouting, but Mr. You who was threatening.
“Thank you, my lord.”
Wang Shichong slowly got up, his face was ashen, and he stepped aside.
Xiao Meiniang waved her hand.
The little emperor coughed lightly: "My dear friends, do you have anything else to discuss?"
No one spoke.
"In that case, let's retreat from the court."
All the court officials stood up and went out. At this time, the eunuch standing in the audience said: "Servant Chai, the Empress Dowager asked you to stay for a while."
The court officials who were behind glanced at Mr. Chai. , didn’t think much about it, and had no temper.
Although this boy is just a county prince, once he takes over Zuo Yiwei, the Chai family can truly deserve the adjective "monstrous power".
After Yu Wenhua and the regicides, including the soldiers who fled back to the Eastern Capital, the Sui Imperial Forbidden Army has been reduced from the original sixteen guards to twelve guards. Even these twelve guards are seriously short of personnel. Among them, only the left and right Yi guards remain at full strength, with 25,000 each, the left and right Xiao guards are 20,000 each, and the left and right Wu guards total 20,000. The remaining left and right guards, left and right Wei guards, etc., are less than six at most. There are a thousand people, the least one is only over 2,000, and their individual combat effectiveness is much lower than that of the Left and Right Yiwei and the Left and Right Xiaowei.
Before the Empress Dowager entered the city, Duan Da was the General of You Yiwei, Wang Shichong was the General of Zuo Yiwei, and Wang Xuanying was the General of You Xiaowei. The post of General You Xiaowei was vacant, so You Xiaowei At least half of the troops of the Wei were in the hands of Wang Shichong, and the general Wei Kuangbo who led the left Wuwei was old. His daughter was Wang Xuanying's wife, and she was basically regarded as an ally of Wang Shichong. Therefore, Duan Da and Wang Shichong had previously dominated the eastern capital. statement.
Now Chai Shao is temporarily leading the squad of General Zuo Yiwei, his father-in-law who has taken advantage of him. Counting the You Yiwei controlled by Chai Shen, the Chai family and his son now have 50,000 elite soldiers. If they turn against each other, the city of Luoyang will be doomed.
Of course, the premise is that Chai Shao can deal with the confidant generals installed by Wang Shichong in Zuoyi Wei, otherwise the position of this general will be that of a mere commander.
Soon, the news that Chai Shen and his son were at odds with the Wang family spread throughout the eastern capital. No one thought that the son-in-law had betrayed his father-in-law so thoroughly that he had sex with someone else’s daughter only ten days later. Wuzai.
