Chapter 017: Ready to Leave
The banquet was basically coming to an end. His Highness and his ministers were already drunk, but Ouyang Xiu was the only one who was not drunk. He even wanted to have another drink. Zhao Kuangyin and the others laughed. This should be the happiest moment in Ouyang Xiu's life, right?
However, His Highness's ministers did not listen carefully to the conversation in the Palace, because they were all intoxicated in the wine country. Gao Changgong's entrance song made everyone still unfinished, and Yang Yanzhao's singing was so high-pitched and exciting that His Highness was already drunk.
The ministers were in disgrace, Zhao Kuangyin rolled up his sleeves and asked the group of palace maids and eunuchs to take all these old men home to sleep.
"How did you all enjoy today's banquet?" Zhao Kuangyin stood up and asked, holding the golden bottle.
"Have a good time, have a good time!" The first person to answer was the foodie Su Shi. Among all the ministers at the banquet, Su Shi was the one who had the most fun eating and drinking. The one who had the most fun chatting with the ministers was Su Shi, but he was completely in a state of ecstasy now.
Already......
"Zizhan, you're drunk." Lu You swayed and pulled Su Shi and joked.
"My lords, please." The housekeeper took all the maids and eunuchs to serve the ministers and sent them home one by one.
After the ministers left, only Zhao Kuangyin and his emperors of several generations were left in the hall, but Zhao Kuangyin let them leave and went back to their respective palaces to sleep, but he still sat here and chatted with Feng Hao.
"Lord?" Gao Changgong was still there, but he was not drunk. Everyone had left, and he was still guarding Feng Hao.
"Wait for me outside the hall." Feng Hao said.
"As ordered." Gao Changgong nodded.
When only Feng Hao and Zhao Kuangyin were left here, only the breeze and the chirping of cicadas were left in the palace. The two sat across from each other without communicating, but their eyes were full of communication and dialogue.
"Sir, they have left. Now we can talk about the ambush in the city." Zhao Kuangyin stood up and walked towards Feng Hao with the golden bottle. What he wanted to know was why they didn't know anything about this.
What happened? The spies and the others just appeared in the capital out of thin air?
"Zhu Di was beaten up by Zhu Yuanzhang a few days ago because Zhu Di was a little dissatisfied with my arrival. After being beaten, based on my understanding of Zhu Di, the emperor's mentality is very tough, and he will do whatever he wants.
"Feng Hao said with great certainty.
"How do you say this?" Zhao Kuangyin squinted his eyes, looking like a drunk old man.
"He won the throne through rebellion. After Zhu Yuanzhang died, Jianwen Zhu Yunwen proclaimed himself emperor. Later, because Zhu Di saw that his nephew was weak, he seized the power of the Ming Dynasty and finally conquered the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It was for the Jingnan campaign. In the final analysis, he relied on
He was a rebel. During his time as emperor, although the emperor's mentality was righteous, he had to contend with his sons. During his expedition to the grasslands, in order to stabilize the rear area, he spent a lot of effort to check and balance the power of his sons.
So the Zhu Di you see is like this." Feng Hao explained.
"That's it." Zhao Kuangyin suddenly cheered up and his eyes were bright, but the word "rebellion" sounded particularly harsh.
Seeing Zhao Kuangyin perked up and looking like a ferocious tiger trying to kill the prey in front of him, Feng Hao could no longer speak. If he continued to speak, his life would probably be in danger.
Feng Hao moved his body. He looked calm, but in fact he was about to collapse...
"Hahaha, I've said too much. Zhu Di looks a lot like me." Zhao Kuangyin suddenly smiled and wanted to avoid the topic, "How long do you plan to stay here, sir?"
"I'll leave tomorrow. Time is too tight. If I don't go, someone will naturally go." Feng Hao thought for a while and replied.
"We've only been here for less than half a day and we have to leave. Hey... well, the distance to Huaizhou is still about 800 miles. How about I send a general and some soldiers to follow you?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.
"I accept your Majesty's intention, but I want to act alone. If there are too many people, I'm afraid it will cause some commotion. If the scene that just happened happens again, Your Majesty doesn't want to see it, right?" Feng Hao declined politely.
Zhao Kuangyin asked to send troops to escort him. After hearing what Feng Hao meant, he nodded and gave up.
"Forget it, it's getting late, sir, go and have some rest. I'll see you off tomorrow." Zhao Kuangyin also stood up and walked toward the door at the back and said.
"No need." Feng Hao left here. Gao Changgong had been standing outside the hall for a long time. After seeing him come out, he followed him closely to listen to his next arrangements.
Along the way, Feng Hao told Gao Changgong all his arrangements and plans, and what Gao Changgong needed to do was execute them.
"Chang Gong, remember, we will leave soon, Zhao Kuangyin is already on guard." Feng Hao reminded.
"Just now at the banquet, the general's eyes showed some murderous intent when he looked at him." Gao Changgong replied.
"Well, after you left, the two of us were alone together. He asked about the conflict that just happened, but he didn't ask more, and I didn't say much, but it could be seen from his expression that he already had something on his mind.
." Feng Hao's sense was very keen, especially for an emperor like Zhao Kuangyin, who needed to be very cautious in communicating. Once he accidentally touched his bottom line, his life was likely to be in danger, so neither party had an in-depth discussion.
It was dark and windy under the moonlight at night. Although it was not autumn yet, the surrounding air already made people feel cold and uneasy. I had narrowly escaped death, but now I was trapped in the tiger's mouth. I really don't know whether it was joy or sadness.
After the two left the imperial city, they arrived at an inn. As for why they left the imperial city, it was not because he was afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would suddenly attack him at night. If he killed himself and lost his life, it would be more than worth the loss.
After arriving at the inn, Feng Hao took out his mobile phone and looked at the messages in the group. The relationship between Liu Bang and Ying Zheng was still very confusing. A few days ago, he said that they were brothers all over the world. In the past few days, he started to ask Liu Bang next to him again.
Launching a new round of bombardment, what a happy couple.
"Boss, how much does it cost to stay for one night?" Feng Hao raised his head and asked the innkeeper.
"Fifty taels of silver for two people is enough," the store owner replied.
"Choose a room with no one on either side. You don't have to look for money anymore." Feng Hao took out a piece of ten taels of silver from his pocket and hurried upstairs with Gao Changgong.
Feng Hao no longer wants to waste any more time here. If he stays here for one more minute, he will be in more danger, so any further delay will only cause more trouble for himself.
After arriving in the guest room, Feng Hao fell down to sleep, while Gao Changgong was responsible for the task of guarding the lord tonight...
Zhao Kuangyin, however, has some killing intent, but compared to him, killing a person is as easy as killing an ant, but after all, he agreed to bring the person here, and killing the person is nothing more than adding to himself.
It was nothing more than trouble, so the matter of killing Feng Hao was abandoned.
