"Of course I have thought about it..." Gong Shouli looked around, then covered his mouth and smiled, "Don't talk about you and me, we are full of civil and military officials, who wouldn't want to? That Ma Wuming went there a few days ago You are looking for me, you want to know my story, do you think I am a fool? Man said that we don’t know, even if you know, you can tell him? Gah!"
"Damn it, you don't know that, and you're still so arrogant?" Xiao Chen said.
"Hey, I don't know. The emperor's thoughts are so deep. Who can guess it? But although I don't know who the emperor cares about, I know that he doesn't love that little...little prince so much now." Gong Shouli Mysterious.
"How can you see that?" Xiao Chen expressed disbelief, "If you don't care for that brat, why did you give him all the military power and let him preside over the military department?"
"I'm just so unpredictable. Before, whenever Li Feng came up to tell me something, whether he reported good news or bad news, the emperor was very happy. My son shared my worries. My son encountered setbacks again. My son worked very hard. I "My son is very good, I feel very relieved, but now I frown when I see his bad words..." Gong Shouli said.
"Your Majesty, he is having a hard time having heirs. The prince has passed away. Now there are only two princes, King Fengyang and King Jiangdong. If the Emperor doesn't like the younger ones, how can he love the older ones?" Xiao Chen asked tentatively.
"That's not necessarily true. The Emperor has never liked King Jiangdong very much. The reason, this and this... is well known, but I think it is mainly because King Jiangdong is disabled. Being a prince is fine, but being an emperor is not inevitable... this Is this disappointing?" Gong Shouli said.
"Lao Gong, do you prefer the older one or the younger one?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"If anything, Li Shi is a better person, but his temper is also... Haha, we can't continue talking about this. In short, if the emperor has something that he cannot bear to say, I, old Gong, will not stay in the palace. Now, go to the imperial mausoleum and guard the mausoleum for the emperor, and I can still save my head." What Gong Shouli said today was true to his heart.
"Damn it, your head is saved, what about me?" Xiao Chen instantly felt that his future was in doubt.
"Haha, I'm just a good-for-nothing cripple. I am the eunuch who loves me and rewards me for being the chief eunuch. In the final analysis, I am just a slave. You are different. You are not only a slave, but also a governor. You are in charge of the troops in Yanyun. Dismounting from his horse to take charge of the people, he is a proper official of the frontier, and his power is overwhelming. Do you want to escape unscathed? Dream on!"
Gong Shouli had already foreseen Xiao Chen's tragic future.
"It makes no sense. Think about how much contribution I, Xiao Chen, have made in the past three years, traveling here and there, for our great Zhou Dynasty? Even if there is no merit, there is still hard work! Why do they treat me like this? "Xiao Chen was extremely sad and angry.
"Just because you are a slave!" Gong Shouli chuckled, "How can slaves be human? They are just oxen and horses. They spend their whole lives plowing fields and pulling carts. In the end, they die of old age and exhaustion. They have to skin you and eat your flesh..."
"Go to hell, I quit!" Xiao Chen said loudly, "Anyway, I only have three or two years to live. I'm so tired of this, why bother with this? I might not even be able to live in the end in the end. There are no corpses left! I will go and resign to the emperor when I turn around!"
"What have you been doing for a long time?" Gong Shouli sneered, "You should have resigned when you first entered Yanyun County, or when Qin Gang came, it was not too late for you to resign. Even if you had defeated the Russians and recovered Shunfeng City, you would Resigning is barely enough. Resigning now? Hehe! If the emperor’s big whip doesn’t beat you to death, then you are strong!”
"Then what did you do earlier? Why didn't you remind me!" Xiao Chen said angrily, "I ask you whether we are brothers or not!"
Belonging is a question of the soul.
"No, we are enemies. I can't wait to see you in trouble. How can I remind you! Besides, are you willing to listen if I remind you? Look how proud you were at that time, your tail was almost raised to the sky. , the emperor summoned you to the capital, you pretended to be sick, and asked if you were dead? If not, you should have crawled there!"
Gong Shouli answered clearly and explained clearly.
"I really didn't expect you, Old Gong, to be such a person!" Xiao Chen shook his head and sighed, expressing his deep disappointment in Gong Shouli.
"I am so real in our family. How can I be as vain and scheming as your kid? He tells three lies for one thing!" Gong Shouli said.
"Damn it, did you drink too much?" Xiao Chen was surprised, "I found that your mind is still so clear."
"It depends on who I drink with. If I drink with you, I can only drink seven points, and the remaining three points will be used to guard against you!" Gong Shouli laughed.
Although he said that, Gong Shouli was still drunk, quite drunk.
In fact, he really wasn't too wary of Xiao Chen, because Xiao Chen was his mortal enemy.
And after being around for so many years, he has long understood the truth that what you really need to be careful of is not your enemies, but your friends.
Because only friends can put you to death!
So Gong Shouli has no friends, so he is still alive and well, so he can always gain Li Wanjiang's trust...
"I didn't drink too much!" Gong Shouli drank too much in the end, "You are not interesting enough. I came all the way here and you don't even care about drinking enough!"
"Pull it down, you will vomit if you drink any more. If you throw up outside, it will stink up my house. How can I sleep at night?" Xiao Chen forcibly sent him out.
"I'm not leaving today, so I'll stay here!" Gong Shouli was not drunk, but he really couldn't walk.
"Don't forget that you are an imperial envoy. What's the point of living here?" Xiao Chen reminded him.
"Go to hell with the imperial envoy. This is clearly a hard job. Going to that hellish place where birds don't poop in the middle of the winter, can I, an old cold-legged person, stand it?" Gong Shouli said, "It's okay to live here with you. The Emperor also knows that the two of us are enemies, so... ah, Your Majesty...?"
Gong Shouli caught a glimpse of Xiao Ye, Ren Bijiang, Wen Huan and others coming over from the corner of his eye. His eyes immediately straightened, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing as if pounding garlic, "Your Majesty, this slave has poured too much urine into his mouth. He is talking nonsense and is disrespectful to you. Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty!"
I was so nervous and scared that I spat it out with a loud sound.
Under the dim light, Ren Bijiang's face looked slightly gloomy, and he looked very mature, just like Li Wanjiang when he was young.
Not to mention that Gong Shouli was dazzled by drinking too much, even Xiao Chen felt that when Li Wanjiang was young, he must be like Ren Bijiang now.
"It's okay, it's okay. Eunuch Gong drank too much. What are you doing?" Xiao Chen patted the back of Gong Shouli who was out of breath and asked what they were doing here.
But Wen Huan was about to go back and came to see him to say goodbye. Unexpectedly, he and Gong Shouli had been drinking until now.
Xiao Chen waved his hand and let them go. Gong Shouli stood up after vomiting and looked around with a confused look on his face. He clearly saw the emperor just now, but why did he disappear again in the blink of an eye?
The next day, while Gong Shouli was still hungover, Zuo Weipan arrived. Xiao Chen came out to greet him in person, greeting him with great enthusiasm.
