Fengze Garden has ushered in the grandest day in so many years. Although the various literary and art reviews held in Fengze Garden every year are no less lively than this event, in terms of the traces left in history , everyone will believe that this meeting of kings will leave a great mark on Fengze Garden.
Strict security measures extend almost from the city gates to the Fengze Garden. The mutual distrust is clearly revealed in this regard. Neither the Imperial Military Police nor the Habayashi Army are as reliable as their own personal guards. This is Li Wufeng and Situ Biao agreed that if they could not meet the safety requirements, they would never enter Fengze Garden casually.
It is almost a replica, from the south gate to Fengze Garden and from the west gate to Fengze Garden. Fengze Garden, which is just within the southwest area of the imperial capital, is acceptable to Situ Biao and Li Wufeng. The elite troops brought by both sides will These two roads are tightly paved to ensure that in the event of danger, the Lord can evacuate from Fengze Garden in the shortest possible time and quickly retreat to a safe area outside the imperial capital.
Song Tianxiong personally led a regiment to station outside the west gate of Fengze Garden, while the important task of garrisoning the west gate of the imperial capital was given to his deputy. Song Tianxiong has searched back and forth several times from the west gate of Fengze Garden to the west gate of the imperial capital. According to the news from the security department, there will be no less than three groups of assassination plans for His Highness King Qin. But when and where will it happen? It is not yet known who initiated it, but Xijiang has put pressure on the Imperial City Police Department to strengthen the cleanup of the idle people on this road. Although this will not prevent the other party from carrying out the assassination plan, it can after all provide some relief. The other party brought some pressure and reduced many idle personnel. It can also facilitate the prevention of security personnel in Western Xinjiang.
People from the Iron-Blooded Camp have already been distributed at various commanding heights on both sides of the road and at locations where attacks are easy to launch. Three identical carriages drove past the heavily guarded street at a certain distance and at a constant speed without making any stops. On both sides of each carriage, the dark cavalry team surrounded the carriage tightly without any gaps, even if someone wanted to use this opportunity to launch an attack. Facing the city wall made of these wild, fierce and expressionless knights in metro armor, I am afraid it is also a difficult dilemma that can be compared to the sky.
At this time, the gates of Fengze Garden have already been opened, and the guard elites who arrived earlier have already gathered together to search for possible dangers according to their own rules. The Imperial Guards, who hold the power of life and death in the city, have also withdrawn in accordance with the agreed requirements. They arrived in the Southwest District and retreated to other areas to prevent misunderstandings between Li Wufeng and Situ Biao and cause chaos. The security of this area has basically been guaranteed by the mutual control of the three parties.
Wu Feng did not take the warnings from the security department lightly. He knew that using assassination to deal with him was the most expected result for all parties, although this method was a bit crude. But it is quite effective and can avoid the pressure of positive public opinion. After all, for this kind of assassination, even if you capture the assassin, it is difficult to find out the truth. Methods such as framing blame and alienation are easy for all parties. It's a big deal, especially during such a sensitive period.
The meeting was held in the most beautiful Qingluo House in Fengze Garden. This is a small open courtyard with water on one side and purple bamboo forests dotted on the other three sides. Numerous circular corridors surrounded it, and the main building of Qingluo Xiaozhu, Qingluo Pavilion, became the main venue. This was chosen as the main venue mainly to reassure all parties. Qingluo Pavilion is located on a higher ground, and all changes in the pavilion can be clearly observed from all sides, and each other can also be monitored from all sides. The security forces of all parties can also protect and prevent, and the Qingluo Pavilion is quite large, and there are not many guests who can attend the main meeting, so it can fully accommodate representatives from all parties.
The ordinary guards stopped when they were within a hundred meters of Qingluo Pavilion. According to the agreement reached by all parties, the kings in the pavilion could only bring one close guard to the venue, and the rest were representatives attending the meeting. The list of representatives was also Entry must be provided in advance and approved by all parties.
When Wu Feng walked in with brisk steps, there was already someone present in the Qingluo Pavilion. When he saw the other person's back looking at the lake with his hands behind his back, he looked a little more lonely and desolate. Wu Feng couldn't help but sigh. Now that the situation has suddenly changed like this, the once graceful Prince Chu actually lives in the same palace. It is only possible to save this life because of the protection of the Milan people. With such a huge difference in time, how can we not let people miss the deceased? Feeling like a husband.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Li Wufeng is so polite." Seeing His Highness the King of Chu who has a very deep blood relationship with his fiancée, a little inspiration suddenly emerged from Wu Feng's chest and quickly took shape. On the one hand, he was thinking about this. The plan was feasible, but he didn't dare to lack etiquette. After all, he was still a vassal of the Situ family, and Wu Feng didn't want to be criticized in front of others.
Maybe he felt Wu Feng's gaze, maybe he noticed the look of the guard not far away from him. When Wu Feng stepped into Qingluo Pavilion, Situ Yuan had already turned around, with a slightly slimmer face. With a few traces of vicissitudes of life, it can be seen that the tribulations of the past year have made His Royal Highness the King of Chu seem to have matured a lot.
"Oh, Your Highness the King of Qin, there is no need to be polite. Situ Yuan cannot afford it. Your Highness the King of Qin and I are both princes of the empire, and they have made great military exploits. The safety of the empire depends entirely on His Highness the King of Qin. Wouldn't this mean killing Situ Yuan?" ?" Regarding this powerful King of Qin, Situ Yuan has long lost the condescending aura of the past. With millions of soldiers in his hands and thousands of miles of western border, Li Wufeng these days is far from the Qingyang who first came to Beijing in the past. The city was defended. Compared to his own changes, how could Situ Yuan not feel sad at the huge contrast.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, your words are serious. Li Wufeng only has some minor contributions, and it all depends on His Majesty's favor." Wu Feng did not explain much. Any more words like this would only make the other party sad. But now, before the others arrive, Wu Feng I wish I had a chance to have a chat with His Highness the King of Chu, "Yu Tang misses His Highness the King of Chu very much, and it is inconvenient to go to the capital this time, so Yutang never went to the capital with Wu Feng. The King of Chu If Your Highness is free, you might as well come to Western Xinjiang for a visit and Wu Feng will be waiting for you."
A wry smile appeared on his face, and Situ Yuan waved his hand, "Brother Feng, it's better for you and me to treat each other as brothers. Brother Feng doesn't know the situation our brothers are in right now, right? I don't plan to come back to Beijing this time. I'm in Quanzhou, and I'm living in the imperial capital, and I'm at ease. The overall situation of the empire depends on you and Sixth Brother. Your Majesty is infected with the heavy smoke, and your body and bones are getting worse. I went to the palace to see you a few days ago, and your Majesty is already skin and bones."
"Well, this aphrodisiac was passed down from the Central Continent. The extracted medicine was originally used as an analgesic. I didn't expect it to be so strong. There are also people growing it in my land in Western Xinjiang. This time I went to Beijing to see the imperial capital and drank it. There are a lot of people using this thing, and it is likely to spread. I am very worried. After I return to Western Xinjiang this time, I will strictly control this thing and prevent it from spreading." Wu Feng said this from his heart. He originally thought that this smoke and tobacco It looks similar to tobacco leaves, but it's just a hobby. He didn't expect this substance to be so harmful. Along the way from Jinzhong to the Imperial Capital, he saw many dignitaries smoking this substance, which shocked Wu Feng. Before Wu Feng set out for the Imperial Capital, it was rumored that many planters hoped to develop and plant this plant in Burma, Northern Luzon and the Western Regions. Since they had not yet received approval from the Government Affairs Office, large-scale planting had not been possible. However, there were private plantings of this plant in various places. Signs have emerged.
"Hmph, there are many officials and gentry in Beijing who smoke this substance. The people of the country are not yet aware of the harm caused by this substance. But I know in Quanzhou that this substance has become widespread in the southern part of the Central Continent. Now it has even spread to other parts of the Western Continent. Governments in various places have We have realized the harm of this thing and strictly prohibit this thing. However, it is extremely difficult to quit after becoming addicted to this thing. In order to obtain this thing, there are people who seek death and survival, there are people who sell their children and wives, and there are countless people who lose their entire family, but there is no one in this imperial capital. Isn't it weird to ask?" Situ Yuan said angrily, but his words came from his heart. The harm of this smoke has already spread, especially many wealthy people in the city are taking it. They are proud of the thing and think it is the same as tobacco leaves, but they don't know the dangers involved.
"Yes, this is the dereliction of duty of the bureaucrats in the imperial capital. Doesn't Brother Yuan have the intention to cleanse the imperial capital and revive the empire's glory?" Li Wufeng finally saw the opportunity to bring the topic to a formal level.
His whole body suddenly shook and his eyes suddenly brightened. Situ Yuan seemed to be breathing more urgently. After a long while, he said quietly: "Brother Feng is teasing Situ Yuan, isn't he? Situ Yuan's body is not much better than the third brother. I would be satisfied if I could live peacefully in this imperial capital as a comfortable apartment, how could I dare to say anything else?"
"Haha, Brother Yuan's words are too decadent. Brother Yuan is so noble as the legitimate son of His Majesty the late Emperor. His Majesty is currently in poor health and cannot manage politics. The ministers in the court are scattered, and they are even used by some people to disrupt the court. Why don't Brother Yuan take advantage of this opportunity to show off his grand plans, so as to put an end to the delusions of some people with evil intentions?" Wu Feng responded in a deep voice, "It depends on man-made things. If Brother Yuan doesn't have such a wish, then Wu Feng's words will be redundant. ”
Surprised and happy, Situ Yuan almost trembled when he spoke. He wanted to return to the imperial capital and live in an apartment with peace of mind, but the depression and anger in his heart made his heart ache. At this time, after hearing Li Wufeng's words, his heart Although that extravagant hope passed by in a flash, it stirred up waves in my heart but could never be calmed down. Could it be...? "Situ Yuan really doesn't understand what Brother Feng said, and I hope Brother Feng can teach me clearly."
