Shen Kuo was taken to a private house and saw a long-lost acquaintance.
The Prince of Huainan was the emperor's nephew, and his father almost ascended the throne back then.
It is precisely because this emperor regarded the Huainan Prince's family as a serious concern, and was assigned to a remote and backward fief.
The Prince of Huainan was strictly educated by his family since he was a child. He has also been cultivating confidants. In Shen Kuo's opinion, the Huainan prince is more suitable to be the heir than the prince.
Shen Kuo saw him without exception.
The Prince of Huainan said, "Long time no see, how are you?"
Shen Kuo's expression did not change, but there was a little blood on the front of his shirt: "Not very good, someone wants my life."
The Prince of Huainan said: "The prince above has lived a good life for a long time." Then he smiled: "It's no wonder, after all, he has been the prince for so many years, and there is no one to compete with him."
.Shen Kuo said: "Aren't you that person?"
Huainan Prince was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "I can't hide anything from you." He said: "I don't want to bear it!" Originally, they were not very comfortable in the feudal land, but they went to Beijing to report their work and watched other people's flowers bloom. His royal uncle didn't give him the slightest kindness.
I was afraid that he would often beat him if he wanted to rebel. Although he is an orthodox royal family, his life is not as good as that of the small landlord family below.
Now that the emperor is cutting down his vassal, he really can't stand this kind of life.
Half of the chaos in the capital is caused by him.
The Huainan Prince held two walnut plates in his hands, but his face was a little relaxed, and he said, "I heard that you were called back to the capital, I am afraid that you are not familiar with the capital, and I want to invite you for a drink. Auntie I have always protected you very well. I don't want you to get involved in this kind of thing..But the prince did a great job! "
When the Prince of Huainan heard the news that the Crown Prince had made a move, he made a loud noise in the room, and he really helped him.
The family property that Shen Kuo is sitting on is almost half the capital of the capital, and he has many friends. Although he did not hold an official or half-ranked position in the court, these two generations in the court were his friends.
The money that Huainan Prince lacked now and some of the contacts in the court can be made up from Shen Kuo.
He knew that Shen Kuo was a smart person, and he didn't need to tell lies, and he threw out his biggest secret straight to the point.
Shen Kuo said: "Then I wish you success."
The Prince of Huainan laughed when he heard this and said, "Yes."
.The biggest problem of the Huainan Prince is that the emperor and the prince have already occupied the orthodox position. If they want to rebel, they will definitely be criticized in the history books, and even cause a wave of rebellion. Even if they get the country, they may not be able to sit firmly.
Shen Kuo knew it, and Huainan Prince knew it too, but they couldn't care so much. Compared with Shen Kuo, Prince Huainan's current situation is more dangerous.
The emperor has guarded their father and son for more than 20 years. It takes some effort to get the throne from people. But it's worth it.
The Prince of Huainan has a stable temperament and is more suitable than the prince.
Shen Kuo would never think that way before, after all, the emperor treated him well.
Now it seems that neither of them is a good thing. The world was conquered by their ancestors, and they didn't have to sit as a family!
The Prince of Huainan said, "The prince will definitely regret being your enemy."
.Shen Kuo said: "It shouldn't be, the crown prince is always confident." Then he said to the Prince of Huainan: "I'll change clothes, I'll rest and then talk to you." Today's assassination of Eunuch Su has cost him a lot of energy, and he wants to change A good rest in clothes.
When Prince Huainan heard this, he said with an apologetic expression: "The room has been tidy up for you, and I'll bring you a drink later to get rid of the bad luck."
Shen Kuo cupped his hands, and was then taken down by the servants. The clothes that he changed were immediately ordered to be burned. He would not wear clothes stained with blood. After returning the clothes, I smelled a faint orange blossom milk fragrance in the air.
The dagger in Shen Kuo's sleeve moved and pointed directly in the direction of the corner: "Come out."
Soon a person came out from behind the screen, Shen Kuo was shocked, and immediately put away the dagger in his cuff, it was Su Muqian.
.Shen Kuo was in shock, if he came out one step late and threw the dagger out, Su Muqian would definitely be injured. Said: "You..."
Su Muqian looked at Shen Kuo hesitantly.
Shen Kuo calmed down, without any psychological preparation, and said, "Why are you here?"
Su Muqian said: "After you leave, I will follow you." He was worried.
Shen Kuo said: "Go back quickly, the capital is dangerous!"
Su Muqian said stubbornly, "I'm not afraid."
Shen Kuo walked over, and he hadn't seen him for more than a month. He finally managed to raise a little bit of flesh on General Su Xiao's body and reduce it. Patiently said: "You should also think about this in your stomach."
Su Muqian said, "He is my child, so he must follow me. There is no reason for me to accommodate him everywhere."
.Shen Kuo wanted to persuade again, but Su Muqian was a little angry: "It's fine if you don't bring me here, I finally found it, and I have to listen to you!" The tone was stiff, but Shen Kuo shared the bed with him. After two years, I could hear the grievances hidden in his words.
Shen Kuo said: "You're hungry, I'll go get someone to get you something to eat." Shen Kuo was served along the way, and he lived a good life. Su Muqian went alone, and he had to follow him not far or near, and it would take another day. Three meals are always a lot of work.
Su Muqian was still angry at Shen Kuo's attitude. He turned his face away and ignored him. Shen Kuo went out and asked his servants to make some food and drink: "Tell the cook to make it sour and spicy."
"Yes." The servant replied, Shen Kuo being their honored guest didn't dare to neglect at all.
Shen Kuo said, "What are you going to do?" This time when he returned to Beijing, he didn't dare to say that he would be safe and sound, but General Su was stubborn, but Shen Kuo really couldn't do anything about him.
.Su Muqian thought about it before he came: "I'll pretend to be your servant." In this way, Shen Kuo can take him wherever he goes.
You can't walk with your real identity, otherwise you will have a lot of trouble.
Shen Kuo smiled and said, "What virtue and what can I do, so that General Su Xiaojun can be my servant?"
Su Muqian heard the ridicule in his words, and felt relieved that Shen Kuo had passed that level. Shouldn't chase him away again. Said: "It's just an expedient measure!" He was the first to discover that Eunuch Su was wrong, and he dared to commit the following. He didn't withdraw until he saw reinforcements coming, otherwise he would definitely rush in and fight.
Shen Kuo was in such a dangerous situation, he never wanted to get too far away from him, so he would show up earlier this time. According to Su Muqian's plan, he originally thought of the capital and then tried to find a way to recognize Shen Kuo.
At this time, when he heard footsteps outside, Shen Kuo told Su Muqian to hide first.
.Su Muqian hid behind the screen again.
It was the Prince of Huainan who came, and the Prince of Huainan said, "I heard someone say, you have passed the meal, why don't you eat it together."
Shen Kuo said: "It's not a serious meal, I just want to eat something tasty to moisten my throat."
The Prince of Huainan said: "So it is." After thinking about it, he said, "Do you have any plans for returning to Beijing this time?"
Shen Kuo pretended to be indignant and said, "The prince wants my life, and I will not make it easier for him."
The Prince of Huainan said: "I'll give you the bottom line. I have 50,000 soldiers and horses in my hand. I'm afraid it's not enough. Can you borrow what you have from your brother? It's both of our brothers, and it's a good story."
Shen Kuo said: "I just want to be an idle prince. If the prince hadn't pushed me into a hurry, I wouldn't necessarily be against it. . . I don't have a half-official, how can I talk about it? "
The Prince of Huainan said, "Behind your daughter-in-law is the Su family, and it is rumored that General Su has 100,000 soldiers and horses."
Shen Kuo said: "Don't mention it, General Su and I have long since reconciled."
"Ah?" Prince Huainan said unexpectedly.
Shen Kuo said: "It's just that the emperor ordered the marriage. He has a bad temper with me, and he stabbed me when we first got married. Later, he wrote a letter to let go of my wife."
The Prince of Huainan was a little disappointed. The most stable relationship in the world is marriage. He thought he would be able to master the mantle of General Su.
But according to Shen Kuo can indeed do such a thing.
Shen Kuo continued: "I advise you not to fight General Su's idea. You are also someone who has raised soldiers and horses. You know what it costs to raise an army. The emperor has always cut General Su's military expenses..Where can he afford 100,000 soldiers and horses, it's just a rumor. "
Shen Kuo paused for a while and continued: "I've been to that place in Mobei, it's a desolate place that doesn't look like a place to stay. Swords and swords have no money to buy new ones, and they're broken. I have a weapons factory here for you. Build 3,000 weapons, and when the time comes, you can arm yourself at will, far superior to other people's army of 100,000."
The Prince of Huainan was moved, and held Shen Kuo's hand: "Good brother." He was so excited that he couldn't say anything.
The servants quickly brought four hot and sour dishes that Shen Kuo wanted. The cook here doesn't know what Shen Kuo's taste is, it's just ordinary hot and sour, and even very little chili!
Shen Kuo didn't choke at all when he smelled it, and said, "It's not enough, do it again. It needs to be especially sour and spicy."
The following people should claim to be.
.The Prince of Huainan still wanted to have a deep chat with Shen Kuo, but was interrupted by the servant who delivered the dishes, and his temper was also reduced by seven or eight.
"Okay." Shen Kuo sent Huainan Prince away.
Going back to the house immediately, Su Muqian had come out from behind the screen and said, "Are you trying to rebel?"
Shen Kuo said: "I have to go against it." After a pause: "But don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you." He just picked General Su out.
General Su is an upright man, and he abides by the way of the monarch and ministers. The Su family army has always supported the royal family.
Su Muqian's chest heaved up and down, his mind was uneasy, and he said, "If I don't come, what are your plans?"
Shen Kuo said: "Civil turmoil in the capital is nothing more than fighting a possibility. . . If it becomes natural, everything is easy to say. If I fail, I will not be a descendant of the royal family and will not be able to punish the nine clans. When the time comes, I will adopt the group to my uncle. My mother spent her later years in Mobei Palace. "
Su Muqian's eyes were persistent: "What about me?"
Shen Kuo put his hand lightly on his cheek, rubbed his face, and said with a gentle expression, "Forget me." General Su Xiao is famous all over the world as a teenager. In the place where Mobei was born, there is no bondage or entanglement. , will be like an eagle in the sky, soaring with wings.
Su Muqian glared at Shen Kuo angrily: "Why did you make the decision by yourself and didn't ask me?" If he hadn't followed, I don't know what Shen Kuo thought.
Shen Kuo said: "This trip is dangerous."
Su Muqian didn't understand: "You are in danger all by yourself, how can I survive? Besides, I'm not greedy for life and fear of death."
Shen Kuo said: "I know."
.Su Muqian said seriously: "You don't know, you don't know anything." After speaking, he actually cried.
On the day they parted, Su Muqian never cried. Shen Kuo suddenly panicked. Said: "What are you crying about. My husband is wrong." Then he wiped his tears with his hands.
When I was in the General's Mansion, I heard from the old servant of the General's Mansion that Su Muqian never cried when he was bleeding and injured when he was learning martial arts when he was a child, but now he is crying.
Shen Kuo hugged the fresh and young lover in front of him.
Su Muqian said: "Let's go together, I think that the prince is not pleasing to the eye."
"You are the descendant of the Su family army, and you must not act recklessly." Shen Kuo said.
Su Muqian said: "I know what I'm doing. It's a big deal to die together. I'll write a letter immediately and ask my brother to kick me out of the house. I don't want to hurt others!"
.Shen Kuo had countless things to say, but he couldn't say it in his throat. Said: "Why do you suffer..."
Su Muqian was lying on Shen Kuo's chest, and then he remembered something, got up and took off the ring on his hand seriously and said, "This is a token. Back then, all the elites of the Su family's army were scattered and divided into various camps. A token can order 30,000 soldiers and horses."
Su Muqian solemnly handed it over to Shen Kuo, and said, "This is all I have." This secret weapon is extremely lethal. Su Muqian handed over not only 30,000 soldiers and horses, but also his own life.
Shen Kuo didn't expect the Su family's army to be so cunning, using other people's military expenses to support his own troops and horses, it was absolutely amazing. It seems that this is the secret of Su Jiajun.
Shen Kuo took the ring and said, "I will live up to your honor."
Su Muqian was a little tired after saying these many words, and put his arms around Shen Kuo's neck.
.Shen Kuo carried him to the bed and lay with him for a while. Su Muqian has not had a good rest these days. Now that Shen Kuo is by his side, he can finally get a good night's sleep. After a while, the breath was much heavier.
Shen Kuo hugged him gently.
In the evening, Su Muqian changed into the clothes of a servant, and was teased by Shen Kuo for a long time. He raised Su Muqian's chin and kissed him, saying, "General Su Xiao is really able to bend and stretch, so handsome!"
Su Muqian's cheeks were a little red: "Don't do anything." He had gone through fire and water for him before, but he was panicked by Shen Kuo's gentle treatment.
Shen Kuo said: "Hey, the little servant has to look like a little servant. What are you calling me?"
"Master Shi." Su Muqian said.
Shen Kuo's beautiful eyebrows said with a smile: "Remove the word Shizi."
"Father." .Su Muqian shouted.
Shen Kuo immediately let out a sigh, showing an impolite look.
Su Muqian was dissatisfied: "You don't do this to Lanting, Chu Yan, and cooking wine."
Shen Kuo said firmly: "They are serious servants, and you are not serious servants."
Su Muqian's temperament is tall and straight, and when he wears the clothes of a servant, he has an inexplicable soft feeling, which makes people want to explore. I don't know if Shen Kuo has been out for a long time or what. The beast side awakened, and Su Muqian put on a servant's clothes to seduce him, Shen Kuo couldn't stand it.
An hour later, Shen Kuo came out after watching the child. After coaxing Su Muqian over and over again, they only attended the evening banquet together. General Su knows some tricks in casual clothes, and it is only 30% similar to the original. Huainan Prince had seen Su Muqian, but he probably forgot about it for a long time.
.The Huainan Prince chose the local Yanghualou. In order to coax Shen Kuo, the Huainan Prince made everything according to his taste, and every dish had a strong vinegar flavor and thick peppers.
The Prince of Huainan also enthusiastically let Shen Kuo taste it. Shen Kuo blocked it with wine three times, it was a kind invitation, and Shen Kuo took a bite of the stir-fried vegetables. Instantly, his eyes widened.
Su Muqian, who was pretending to be a servant, couldn't help laughing, and saw that Shen Kuo's hot head was about to smoke.
Hearing Su Muqian's laughter, Shen Kuo immediately pulled the man into his arms, Su Muqian didn't expect him to be so bold.
The Huainan Prince didn't care at all, the children of aristocratic families had become a legend, and besides, the handsome servant was originally for the master to enjoy. It seemed normal to him.
Prince Huainan was afraid that Shen Kuo would be embarrassed, so he also called a few handsome brothers here to accompany him to drink and have fun.
.Shen Kuo skillfully covered half of Su Muqian's face with his arm, and said, "Let you laugh." But his hand gently fed Su Muqian.
Su Muqian liked this mouthful, and seriously ate everything that was brought to his mouth. Shen Kuo knew what he liked to eat, and he frequently served it to him.
A chili peel caught Su Muqian's mouth, Shen Kuo gently wiped it down with his fingers, and swept across his lips intentionally or unintentionally.
Su Muqian gave Shen Kuo a bit of face because he was outside. Unexpectedly, Shen Kuo pushed his nose even more and kissed him. The other hand plunged into his neck and shoulders and slid down. It was so close that he panicked.
The prince of Huainan has been drinking for three times, and Shen Kuo is feeding the little servant. Then asked someone to open a room in Yanghualou.
The prostitute came and asked, "Master, do you want someone to accompany you?"
Shen Kuo said: "No need, bring your own.After he finished speaking, he hugged Su Muqian and went back to the room.
The unscrupulous little servant is indeed very charming. Shen Kuo didn't eat the dishes in front of him, so he was thinking about eating the delicious little dessert in his heart
