Chapter 9 impeachment of the king
There was a bustling and prosperous scene on the street. Wei Fuyan came out of the Songhe Tower and couldn't help looking back upstairs. Xiuji's narrow dimples in green looked at her deeply upstairs. When she turned around, she smiled and drank the wine in her hand.
Acacia is still angry with the whole basket of white sugar cake: "Is that witch crazy?"
Xiuji's words did only say, "From now on, it's just Princess Huai", and then ordered her servants to give her all the white sugar cakes, and issued an expulsion order. The whole thing happened so fast that in an instant, her opponent seemed to become bigger and farther away. Wei Fuyan told Acacia, "The woman of Chacha Tuo King, especially Xiuji."
Acacia ate white sugar cake and threw a smile to show understanding.
I don't want to have fun on the street anymore. Today, this matter is strange. It is impossible for Xiuji to guess that she is going to leave the house today. There are not two houses selling white sugar cakes on the street, but Wei Fuyan stopped in front of Xiuji's Pine Crane Tower. How can there be such a coincidence?
Is there any doubt about lovesickness? No, it's too easy to think of. The loopholes are so big that they don't make mistakes like smart people like Xiuji.
Wei Fuyan is puzzled, and he doesn't know what the "god" behind Xiuji is going to do next. Or, what is the purpose of his efforts to arrange chess for so many years?
As soon as I got to the gate of the royal palace, I saw Qiyun, who had just recovered from a serious illness. As soon as Qiyun saw her, she immediately ran over, but when they entered the royal palace together, she whispered in her ear and whispered, "In the morning, the prince was impeached!"
So fast? Wei Fuyan was surprised. Tuo Wang's move before and after his move did not give people a moment of breath.
"Where's the prince?"
"Anran Garden."
Wei Fuyan nodded and said, "I know, prepare some food that the prince loves."
It is not unexpected that Zhou Huaiyi was impeached. The struggle in the court has always started from the hustle of young people. People on both sides impeached each other, and the masters were hidden behind the scenes. However, as soon as King Tuo came up, he directly pointed his finger at Zhou Huaiyi, which was too sharp!
Zhou Huaiyi was painting in the small study when she entered the door. Wei Fuyan knew that he was very good at painting and had the same habit of painting notes as his master, but he didn't know what he had written down today. From afar, his face was as cold as ever, and he couldn't see that anything had happened.
Zhou Huaiyi knew that she was coming back, so she put down her pen and came out and asked, "Where have you been?"
"Walking on the street."
"Where are you going to tell the people in the house in the future? Qiyun is scared to see that you are not here."
Qiyun? Wei Fuyan only remembered that Qiyun was worried about his impeachment.
Zhou Huaiyi looked at the black pearl in front of her clothes and frowned secretly. Wei Fuyan** followed his eyes and said with a smile, "It's inconvenient to wear such a luxurious thing on the street."
"Don't you like the emerald beads?" Zhou Huaiyi came to her and said, "You don't have to force yourself if you don't like it. Let's talk about it when you see what you like."
What kind of emerald are you still thinking about at this time? Wei Fuyan smiled and said, "I like it, I'll wear it tomorrow." It is not easy for a cold person like Zhou Huaiyi to ask for a jewelry worn by a woman. Of course, she understands.
Zhou Huaiyi still nodded in disbelief. Seeing Acacia send a basket of white sugar cakes and frown again, waiting for Acacia to retreat and say to her, "Today, I asked the housekeeper to invite a cook who can make Jiangnan cuisine. Tell me what you like to eat and don't eat on the street."
Wei Fuyan was stunned and stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for him and said, "When did you start to be so careful?"
She no longer insisted on annoying him, and Zhou Huaiyi took the tea smile she poured with herself without saying anything.
Sitting together, Wei Fuyan took out a piece of white sugar cake from the basket and tasted it carefully. Zhou Huaiyi saw that she finally took a piece, but she couldn't get used to such a sweet and greasy taste, so she put it down without two bites. Wei Fuyan looked at his behavior and finally asked, "King Tuo's people took action, didn't they?"
"Have you seen Qiyun?" Zhou Huaiyi never told Qiyun about it. He knew that it was Qiyunduo's mouth, but he couldn't help thinking that Qiyun was worried about him and actually went to tell Wei Fuyan? It seems that he is not the only one who is used to the identity of Wei Fuyan.
Wei Fuyan asked, "What have you impeached?"
"This is a man's business. You eat what you like, take care of your garden, put on beautiful clothes and live a happy life. You don't have to worry about other things.
I haven't heard such spoiled words for a long time, and I feel unaccustomed to it at first glance. She put down the white sugar cake and said, "Listen, I want to know."
She was weird today. She looked at it for a moment and said indifferently, "It's just a few things. First, I have been traveling abroad for many years. I don't work for the court and don't share my father's worries. I'm unfaithful and unfilial. Second, I make friends with people in the world and worship suspicious people in the city that don't sleep. My deeds are strange. Third, I neglect your Princess Duanyang and affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. But that's all."
He said it easily, but it is impossible for Wei Fuyan to understand how much meaning there are in these superficial words. Wei Fuyan's index finger tapped on the wooden table and thought carefully, "Piety comes first. King Tuo's first impeachment is unfaithful and unfilial piety. The old ministers in the court value loyalty and righteousness the most, but students everywhere value filial piety. Disloyalty is to alienate you and the courtiers, and unfilial piety is to alienate you and the scholars, killing two birds with one stone. Second, it is said that you make friends with different people in the world. It's a joke. Which person in the court doesn't have many Jianghu people? It's nothing more than reminding everyone that Huai Wang has a collusion with the Night City. The third article does nothing to you. It is simply impeach those who swaying and watch between King Tuo and King Huai. In the eyes of outsiders, your biggest bargaining chip is your relationship with Chen, saying that you neglect Princess Duanyang and affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. The intention is to point out that the chips in your hands of Zhou Huaiyi may not be stable, and ask the middle faction to re-measure you. And the strength of King Tuo, and then stand on the side of King Tuo.
Zhou Huaiyi looked at her across a table with strange brilliance in her eyes. He knew that Wei Fuyan was thoughtful and resourceful, but he never thought that he could think about things in the court so quickly and delicately. I used to hear that Princess Duanyang grew up holding the memorial of Emperor Chen, and today is the first time I have seen her.
"You used to say that I underestimated you, which seemed to be true," Zhou Huaiyi nodded approvingly and said, "That's all. There's nothing to be afraid of. If I want King Tuo to die, then everything he has done now is a dying struggle.
Wei Fuyan didn't know why Zhou Huaiyi dared to say so. Her "terrible" understanding of Zhou Huaiyi came from other people's opinions. Qiyun felt that she could not offend Zhou Huaiyi. The "double-tailed scorpion" sent by King Tuo to rob her on that day could not wait to avoid Zhou Huaiyi. After the incident of Baifengzhai that day, Lu Zhong also sighed that Zhou Huaiyi killed decisively and used troops. Like God. Wei Fuyan has never experienced it himself.
However, Zhou Huaiyi actually said bluntly that King Tuo would die, and the feelings of her 17-year-old brother and sister in the State of Chen were gone. She sighed softly and said, "After all, it's a brother. It's okay to win."
Zhou Huaiyi's heart suddenly aches. He avoided Wei Fuyan's eyes and said, "There is a reason why he must die."
"Princess Xingguo?"
Zhou Huaiyi nodded perfunctorily. Aunt's death was also a relief for her, but that child... As long as he thought of the child who didn't even have time to come out, Zhou Huaiyi did not dare to neglect this fight. He couldn't let Tuo Wang win, because he couldn't let himself lose more.
"Why didn't you clean up your garden today and suddenly come to ask these things?" Zhou Huaiyi asked.
Wei Fuyan was reminded, so he said, "Let's go out and have a look?"
Zhou Huaiyi nodded and went out with her. There was no one in the garden. Seeing them coming out to salute, Wei Fuyan said, "Get back. Don't come in without the prince's order."
Zhou Huaiyi knew that she had something to say, so she sent all the servants.
The two walked under the rattan flower rack. Zhou Huaiyi looked at the rattan flower rack that was completely different from Yanjing and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Wei Fuyan sat on the new swing on the maple tree next to her and looked at him hesitantly for a long time. On the way back, she was wondering how to remind Zhou Huaiyi Xiuji about her, but she is still not sure whether her idea is right or wrong.
Finally, she opened her mouth, but it was another secret. She asked, "My identity... How's your investigation going?"
Zhou Huai was shocked. Why did he suddenly mention this matter? Zhou Huaiyi looked at her swinging thoughtfully and walked to her and said, "I found some."
Wei Fuyan didn't know which step he had found, so he casually asked, "Then what? What are you going to do?"
Zhou Huaiyi will reach out to stabilize the swing, look down at her eyes and say, "What do you think I should do?"
Wei Fuyan bit her lip and retreated far away. She looked up cruelly and said, "Okay, if you don't say your plan, then listen to me!" Let's make a deal!"
"Buying and selling?" Zhou Huaiyi remembered her behavior of making money in Yanjing and asked with a smile, "Are you still short of money now? Have you exchanged the money owed to others?"
"It's none of your business!" Wei Fuyan raised his head and looked at him fixedly and said, "I'll help you deal with King Tuo. You promise me two conditions!"
So that's it. Zhou Huaiyi's eyes were immediately cold. He looked at her from afar and said, "Is this the reason why I just asked about impeachment? I don't deny that you are indeed smart, but I'm enough to deal with King Tuo alone. You don't have to interfere!"
Wei Fuyan leaned weakly on the maple tree and shook his head and said, "No, not enough, not enough..."
Zhou Huaiyi felt more and more strange about her. He stepped forward and stretched out his hand to say that she was trapped between his arms and stared into her eyes and asked, "Who did you meet just met on the street? King Tuo?"
"In a word, we are doing a business, and I will help you deal with King Tuo. You promise me two conditions!" Wei Fuyan made up his mind and suddenly looked up at him and said, "Where is the loophole in King Tuo's action, what will happen next, and what is the layout behind my identity? Only I can tell you!" You promise me, and I'll help you!"
She obviously seemed to dodge, but she tried her best to make up her mind. Zhou Huaiyi didn't know what had happened. He carefully held her in her arms and said, "Just say what you want me to promise. You don't have to worry about King Tuo. The final winner is me, that is, you."
Wei Fuyan was almost bewitched, but he bit his lip and suddenly pushed him away: "Don't say such a thing to me!"
