Pretend to be sick

Wang Yu leaned on a bench and was siping the tea on the table, but his eyes didn't blink, staring at the door of the restaurant, as if he was waiting for someone. In the past few years, he has been under the command of Zhu Yanshou, the governor of Fengguo. He has been in charge of the capital yard and has a thousand men under his command. He has also had a few figures under Zhu Yanshou, but at this time he was wearing a coarse brown robe and a knotted scarf on his head, like an ordinary traveler. It was already noon, and the pot of rough tea on his table had been changed four or five times, and it had already tasted no longer. Wang Yu only felt that the tea in the mansion was rushing, and he felt more hungry. He was about to call the waiter to get some food, but he could only hear someone behind him whispering: "But are people from Zhu Shouzhou on Huai?"

Wang Yu was shocked when he heard this. His right hand had already reached into his arms and held the short knife for protection. He slowly turned around, with an inexplicable expression on his face and said, "I came from Jiangzhou to sell tea, and I don't recognize any pigs or sheep." However, he was scanning the surroundings from the corner of his eyes to see if there were soldiers surrounding him. He saw a man in blue standing behind him, dressed up in a scholar, with four or five knife wounds on his face. He looked a little cunning, but his hands were empty, without holding weapons. He said, "Birdsong Mountain is even more secluded. Someone is from Tian Xuanzhou, don't worry."

Seeing that he had the right answer to the code, there was no strange sight everywhere. His heart had already let go of three points, and bowed and said, "The sunset in the long river is round, this is not a place to talk, let's go to a secluded place." After saying that, he left the dozen copper coins and left the wine shop. He walked through the streets and alleys all the way to an old clothes shop in the east of the city. Wang Yu turned around and whispered, "Why did someone else change this time?"

The literati's expression remained unchanged and replied, "The man was not intimate before and had been captured by the generals of the King of Wu. The lord sent a family to inform you to be careful and not lose your life."

Wang Yu frowned, took a step back, and shouted in a low voice: "Since that man has obtained it by Yang Xingmi, how can I trust you? Who knows if you were sent by Yang Xingmi to deceive someone from a family."

"Believe it or not, if a certain family is Yang Xingmi's person, why bother so much and lead troops to capture you directly? 'Why not ask for anything under Sanmu? At that time, it was not very easy to say anything, so why bother with it?"

After hearing the scholar's words, Wang Yu looked a little calmer and asked, "Then are you here to come to me just to remind me?"

"There is another thing. We have received news. King Yang suddenly fell ill yesterday and fainted in bed for a long time before he woke up. Not only did his hands and feet stiff, but he couldn't even see clearly. I'm afraid that the period is not far away. Please tell your lords about this news. We will endure it for a while and then do something big after the period of King Wu." The scholar saw that there was no one around, and then hesitated when he approached. After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Wang Yu to ask. He was in a hurry, leaving Wang Yu alone there.

In the palace of the King of Wu, Yang Xingmi was lying on the bed, his breath fading. Zhu, the wife next to him, was crying. Suddenly, Yang Xingmi moved his hand. Zhu quickly held his hand and carefully observed Yang Xingmi's safety. He saw Yang Xingmi's lips opened and closed, as if he was saying something. He quickly followed him to his ears and heard it as if he was saying: "Hungry." He quickly called the maid to get the porridge. After bringing it, he tried the hot and cold. He helped him up first, leaned against the brocade mat, and fed it to Yang Xingmi at one mouthful. But Yang Xingmi seemed to find it difficult to tuck it by himself. After feeding it a few mouthfuls, it was difficult to swallow it. The porridge flowed out from the corner of his lips from time to time. The front of the clothes was covered with dipped clothes. He had no sense of it. Zhu had to take out the handkerchief from his arms to wipe it for him. It took a lot of effort to put the bowl of porridge.

After feeding, a small half of it flowed out. At this time, Yang Xingmi seemed to be a little awake. Seeing his wife beside him and muttering something, Zhu couldn't understand. Yang Xingmi became irritable and waved his arms to curse. Zhu was confused and suddenly smelled a stinking smell in his nose. Only when Yang Xingmi's lower body was wet and hot, he realized that her husband was just saying he was going to urinate and quickly called his maid to clean up. Zhu stood aside, watching the maid in a mess, but sadness came from the middle of his life. What a man in her husband's past, but he was lying on the couch like a waste, and even urinated. If the generals like wolves and tigers in Huainan would treat him and his son? Thinking of this, he couldn't help crying.

Zhu cried for a while and felt more and more uncomfortable. However, he saw Yang Xingmi wave his palm slightly at him, as if he wanted to go over by himself, so he came to her husband and whispered: "Do you have something to say to me?"

Yang Xingmi nodded faintly, Zhu lowered his head and ears, and only heard Yang Xingmi's voice like a wandering silk thread, which could be cut off at any time: "I have experienced hard battles to build this foundation. Now I see that all my sons are weak. If I pass the throne with them, I am afraid that they will harm them. Please invite your brother to come. All the affairs of my general's mansion can be trusted to protect the wealth and health of our Yang family for generations."

Zhu was surprised and happy when he heard this. She had already loved her younger brother Zhu Yanshou very much. However, Yang Xingmi kept saying that although Zhu Yanshou was brave and good at fighting, he was not tolerant. He was not a general. He drove him far away to Shouzhou and did not allow him to be in the central part of Guangling. When she saw her husband like this, she secretly hoped that Zhu Yanshou could be in Guangling. At least in a hurry, she could have a family member who could entrust him to her husband's power. She did not dare to say more. Now that she heard Yang Xingmi say that she had thought about her for a long time but did not dare to say it, she quickly ordered the maid to call the secretary Gao Chong, and asked him to write a letter to Zhu Yanshou in the name of Yang Xingmi, and use the seal of the Huainan Jiedu Mansion. Gao Chong said to Zhu: "This matter is of great importance. If the king had not spoken personally, he would never dare to obey his orders. I hope the wife would forgive me."

Zhu was furious and rebuked him repeatedly, but no matter whether he scolded or threatened, Gao Chong bit him tightly and refused to let go. He had no choice but to take him to see Yang Xingmi. Gao Chong heard Yang Xingmi say with his own ear and agreed to write the letter and put it on the seal. Zhu was about to send his confidant to send his confidant to Shouzhou. Gao Chong looked around and saw no one around and said to Zhu: "Madam, the king is seriously ill in this matter. Guangling is at an important time. Zhu Shouzhou is in charge of heavy troops in the town with a general. Even if he sees the letter, he may not believe it. If he misses the opportunity, Guangling will be able to regret it at that time. The wife would rather write a private message, explain the matter, and send his confidant family to send it. When Zhu Shouzhou saw these two letters, he would definitely come together."

After hearing Gao Chong's words, Zhu thought it was quite reasonable, but he also remembered that he would rather offend him than write a credit seal for him, but now he is giving advice for himself and acts very strangely. While he was hesitating, Gao Chong had already seen her thoughts and explained with a smile: "I was entrusted by the King of Wu and held the secrets. I should repay him with sincerity. Although my wife is close, I cannot interfere in the affairs of the military government. But now the King of Wu has ordered that I should also consider it for myself."

After hearing Gao Chong's explanation, Zhu thought about it more and more and felt it made sense. He also felt that it was better. He smiled and said, "You are right. When my brother comes to Guangling, I will tell him the situation today and let you continue to serve as the chief secretary."

Gao Chong quickly thanked him. After Zhu waited for Gao Chong to write a letter and sent his personal soldiers to deliver it, he returned home to compile a letter and sent his confidant family to Shouzhou without mentioning it.

In the Fengguo Jiedushi Mansion of Shouzhou, Zhu Yanshou sat in the hall. Wang Yu's face was covered in dust and exhausted. He obviously had just returned from a hard journey. He was whispering to himself the words of the literati in green. After Wang Yu finished speaking, he stood aside with his hands crossed. Zhu Yanshou pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you think what the literati said is true or false?"

Wang Yu had obviously thought it clearly on the way and said, "This person is so stupid and I don't know what the origin is. However, what a serious matter is that King Wu is seriously ill, and he can't hide it from his lord sister. If you send a messenger to ask, you will have a reply in a few days at most. It will not be too late to make a decision at that time."

Zhu Yanshou nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right. You have worked hard along the way. Let's go down and rest first. Come to the Mansion to do business tomorrow."

After Wang Yu stepped down, when Zhu Yanshou returned to the hall, he saw a beautiful man in red sitting on Hu's bed, lowering his head to think. Zhu Yanshou opened his arms, hugged him in his arms, and smiled and said, "My female Zhuge, do you have any ideas? Let's listen to me."

It turned out that this woman was Zhu Yanshou's wife Wang. She was not only beautiful but also very wise and insightful. If Zhu Yanshou had something difficult to decide, she often asked her and often had unexpected surprises. When Wang Yu reported it, she listened in the hall.

Wang broke away from her husband's arms and asked, "What do you think your husband should do?"

Zhu Yanshou sat beside Wang and smiled and said, "If Yang Xingmi was really seriously ill, within three days, my sister would naturally have news. Tian Wei knew that this matter could not be hidden from me, so she sent someone to tell me first, so she told me that I would not dare to send troops to Guangling. He and An Renyi were like wearing pairs of pants. Li Shenfu, who was monitoring him, went to fight Du Hong. The two of them joined forces to cross the river from Runzhou and arrived in Guangling. At that time, the whole of Huainan was his. Tian Wei, Tian Wei, you have a good plan. Let me, Zhu Yanshou, work hard to make you a wedding dress. How can such a good thing be in the world?"

Wang shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Over the past few days, my eyelids have been beating constantly. I always feel that my mind is not clear, as if something murder is about to happen. I think you should not be anxious and watch the changes in Shouzhou."

Zhu Yanshou stood up and smiled and said, "What did the wife say? How can this huge foundation in Huainan be able to wait for it? You are right to say that there is murder. I will lead the army south, so how can I not kill people? You have said so many things that you are worried about, but you can't come up with any certificates. If you can tell any real evidence, Zhu will stay in Shouzhou to accompany his wife."
