The next day was the day of the expedition. Wu Sheng re-examined his two storage instruments in Yongren Hall to see if there were any missing ones.
There are some precious spiritual materials that Wu Sheng is reluctant to eat stacked in the storage ring, as well as the Feihong Sword, Jade Bracelet, Silver Moon Bow, Zuli Circumferential Furnace, Juejin Rope and Thunder Hammer, most of the Thieving Sky Cable, etc. that he uses at home. The utensils are all inside.
The storage jade that Zi Chu captured from Zheng Rong was relatively small. After he forcibly broke through the jade with his true energy, he found that the space inside was only one-third of the size of the ring finger, and the things stored there were not actually too precious. The harvest was not big, so it was used to store two hundred coins of gold and more than a dozen bottles of black ginseng pills.
But no matter what, the two storage magic weapons greatly increased his sense of security. The next time he was caught, the possibility of his wealth being robbed was greatly reduced.
After defeating Huyi and Chengshanyi this time, maybe you can really consider becoming a Zhuguo. Why are you still thinking about escaping all day long? Wu Sheng couldn't help but laugh, he had become a habit.
Late at night, Yuan Sima suddenly came to the door. Wu Sheng was surprised: "The expedition is about to begin, and Sima is not at home to comfort his beloved wife. Why did he come to my place again?"
Yuan Sima and Wu Sheng sat opposite each other, raised the cup to their mouths, lost their appetite, and put it down again: "Your Majesty has not given the tiger talisman yet."
The Yong Kingdom sent out hundreds of military chariots, all from the country's great officials. Without the tiger talisman issued by the monarch, they would not accompany Yuan Sima on the expedition. Yuan Sima could only mobilize his own military chariots.
The monarch usually gives the tiger talisman to his general within three days. It is not too early, but it is not like this time. Tomorrow is the time of the expedition, and now it is late at night and he will not give it to him.
"Did something happen?" Wu Sheng was very puzzled.
Yuan Sima shook his head: "This is Yan Bing, who is playing against the king in the palace."
Wu Sheng raised the cup and said, "Please drink it full."
Yuan Sima sighed, and this time he finally raised his neck and drank.
The two were sitting across from each other drinking, and Wu Sheng asked Master Dongsun to go outside the palace gate to inquire. When it was almost midnight, Master Dongsun came back and said: "The king has ordered Lao Yong, the husband of the country, and Dian ordered Yong Zang to enter the palace."
This is a very rare situation. Whenever there is a big government, the king will always recruit Yuan Sima and Wu Sheng to ask the right ones. What happened today?
Yuan Sima looked at Wu Sheng, and Wu Sheng stood up suddenly: "Enter the palace!"
It is against the rules to enter the palace late at night without an order, but at this moment, there should be no hesitation. No matter what the monarch and Yan Bing are discussing, whether it has anything to do with you or not, you must enter the palace to listen, even if the conversation is about Even if the bed curtain is private, you have to lean in and listen, and no accidents are allowed!
The two of them took their own cars and arrived outside the palace gate. It was Yanhua who was on duty. Yanhua sighed: "Why are the two doctors so difficult for me?"
He and Jin Wuhuan had been worshiped as senior officials by the monarch, so they were very grateful to Wu Sheng. Although they felt embarrassed, they still opened the palace door, introduced them into the palace, waited outside, and went in to report: "Yuan Sima, Dr. Shen comes in."
Yan Bing scolded: "Yanhua, you didn't see us discussing matters with your Majesty? Let them go back!"
Yan Hua lowered his head and said: "The two great officials, Yuan and Shen, are the king of the country. I dare not stop them. I am waiting outside now. Please make your decision."
Yan Bing said angrily: "Yanhua, you are so brave to let people into the palace without your order!" Gu Jie
Yanhua ignored him and bowed to Qingyu again: "His forehead touched the floor, not only waiting for Qingyu's order, but also with the intention of admonishing."
Qingyu glanced at Yan Bing, Yong Zifu, and Yong Zang, and finally summoned them: "Please come in, two doctors." Everyone was waiting outside, and it would be rude not to see them.
Yuan Sima and Wu Sheng quickly walked in, saluted Qingyu and sat down. Qingyu asked, "Why are you so anxious about something important?" This was a question knowingly and with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Yuan Sima, as the leader of the expedition, could not ask for the tiger talisman himself, so Wu Sheng said: "The army is ready, and we will review and dispatch the troops tomorrow. I heard that the emperor has not given the seal of the military talisman yet, but I don't know. What’s the reason?”
Qingyu said: "Ah, I am too busy today and haven't had time yet. It won't be too late to award the award during the military parade."
Wu Sheng asked: "Will your Majesty be sure to award the gift tomorrow? Will it be delayed again due to other matters?"
Qingyu didn't answer. He looked at Yan Bing and the other three, and Yan Bing said, "When to award the gift and whether to award it are all up to the emperor and not to the ministers. Why is Doctor Shen so aggressive?"
Wu Sheng stared at him and said: "I heard that when the two kings of Lu and Jin wanted to attack Qin, they paid homage to the king of Zhou for orders. The king made a conquest ceremony and ordered Duke Liu Kang to share his meat as a sacrifice to heaven. Liu Kanggong blamed him for being careless and careless when sacrificing meat. Liu Kanggong said that important national events, such as military service and sacrifice, should not be regarded as just a small ceremony of dividing and receiving meat. This is a great festival of God! Tomorrow there will be a grand review of the three armies, today Not yet granting the tiger talisman, this is already a sign of neglect. Yan Bing, you even allow the emperor to do as he pleases. Isn't this slander? Is this the way to serve the emperor?"
Yan Bing's old face suddenly turned dark, and he was quite unsightly. He immediately said: "Doctor Shen, after you became a doctor, you said everything you said and went to war, so why can't you just calm down for a while and give the country some time to breathe? I was so mediocre back then. I was one of the Eight Kingdoms, and I followed the king to attack the Shang Dynasty. Taigong Wang once spoke of the shortcomings of the Shang Dynasty, saying that although the country is large, if it is warlike, it will perish!"
Wu Sheng said coldly: "Master, why didn't you mention the second half of Jiang Taigong's sentence? If you like to fight, you will perish; if you forget to fight, you will be in danger!"
Yan Bing was stunned. He really didn't expect that Wu Sheng actually knew the last half of the sentence.
Wu Sheng said again: "Yong is a small country. If we don't take advantage of the situation, Chu will be able to beat us to death with a backhand after it takes a breather. I don't know why you are still hesitating?"
Yan Bing said: "Doctor Shen, there is no need for you to worry."
Wu Sheng asked: "Why?"
Yan Bing said proudly: "Fan Ziyuan, my right disciple from Yangzhou, is related by marriage to my Yan family. Yesterday, a visitor from the Fan family told me personally that the people of Chu had found out that the Yu army had an alliance with the Wu people during the Battle of Chicken Father. defection, this is the cause of the Chu army's defeat. The King of Chu has ordered that the Yu Lord who surrendered to Yangzhou be imprisoned, and the Yu Kingdom will be held accountable! Fan Youtu said to the old man, the battle to exterminate the fish was fought well, the Chu Kingdom's new commander Yin Nang When Wa heard about it, he was very happy and said to Yangzhou Yin, I deserve to be praised as a great person!"
Wu Sheng looked at Qingyu, and Qingyu's eyes were full of joy, so he asked Yan Bing: "What next?"
Yan Bing said: "Fan Youtu said that all the officials in Yangzhou have discussed it. If our army raises troops to reinforce Xia Zhen, after defeating Wu, they will preside over the alliance and formally recognize Dayong as the leader of the two countries. Allocate hundreds of miles of Huyi Mountain to Dayong as a reward! Doctor Shen, we don’t have to fight the Chu army, but we have gained everything. Why do we have to fight Huyi and Chengshanyi? We should help Chu attack Wu That’s it!”
Wu Sheng asked: "Are you and Fan Ziyuan related by marriage? He suffered heavy losses in Dazhu. Do you believe what he said?"
Yan Bing said: "My third niece married Fan Zhong, the seventh brother of Fan's right disciple. The person coming from the Fan family is none other than Fan Zhong. This man is trustworthy and righteous, and he is upright and virtuous. Otherwise, I would not have agreed to this marriage. Of course it’s believable.”
Yong Zifu said: "Fan Zhong is the envoy of Yangzhou. I don't think he dares to make up such a lie. However, my meaning does need to be verified again."
Qingyu said: "Of course I want proof, but before that, can the dispatch of troops be slowed down? Shen Qing and Yuan Qing, what is being discussed in the palace today is how to apologize to Fan Youtu. The gift of compensation will be from I am going out with other officials, and I don't need any money from Shen Qing or Yuan Qing. I am afraid that they will be unhappy, so I have not invited each other. Please don't have any grudges."
