Chapter 378: Lonely Minister
The Imperial Guards have been accumulating power for a long time, and on this huge long street, after the Imperial Guards were dispatched, many people left, trying to stay away from this dispute, and the bolder ones were lying on their own windows, or hiding behind the door, looking through the cracks, watching everything that happened outside.
Although the rumors of the Royal Forest Army say that they are very fierce and kill people without blinking, but after all, this is a song of the court, under the nose of the king, the Royal Forest Army is domineering, and some rules still have to be explained, so they also have the courage to secretly watch all this.
The Imperial Guards also knew that many people were hiding behind their backs to peek, but they didn't care, the Imperial Guards never needed to hide their actions, and they even wished that someone would see them, so it was best to spread the word about it and show the prestige of the Imperial Guards.
The leader held the head of the head of the head of the Zhang family, raised it flat, and turned back and forth against the long street, as if telling the people hiding in the dark that in Chaoge City, this is the end if they don't obey the king's orders.
With his actions, in the darkness, those who could not see the light seemed to be even more silent.
Such a similar scene happened in many parts of the castle, where the Imperial Guards were scattered all over the castle and could be found on all the long streets, and they sealed off all the retreats, and then went door to door to find them according to the records on the list.
None of these families survived in the castle, all of them fell under the butcher's knives of the Imperial Forest Army, some of them wailed before they died, some knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, some were full of remorse, and some were scolding the demons of the country......
Everyone knows who this scolding is, but after all, it is just an impotent howl......
In the city of songs, in the palace, Di Xin leaned on the pillar of the cloister, holding a book in his hand, and read it with relish, and the afterglow of the red sun that had poured half of his head in the sky shone on him, looking very peaceful.
"My Majesty, news has come from the Imperial Foresters, and your explanation has been completed. ”
The little eunuch came from behind, holding in his hand the sigil given to Di Xin by the Imperial Forest Army.
Di Xin took it casually and looked at it, then threw it aside, and hummed lightly in his mouth, not paying attention.
After all, he has experienced so many winds and waves, and he has faced life and death crises several times, and he has been not afraid of danger, this time it is just some disobedient ants, which do not deserve too much attention from him, if it is not for the calculation in his heart, and even these clowns who jump off the beam, he is too lazy to do it, and he can only blame these people for being too back, Di Xin always wants to give her the best and most stable big business in order for his daughter to sit firmly on the throne, and he wants to smooth out all uncertain factors.
At first, Di Xin still wanted to let Shisu hone it, at least leave a little mess for him, after all, this can help her grow quickly, but later, Di Xin thought about it, after all, he still loves his daughter, and he doesn't want to leave any troubles for his most beloved daughter, he wants to give her a prosperous life.
So, these people were unlucky......
"My lord, Doctor Fei asks to see you. Another little eunuch came and bowed his head respectfully.
Di Xin beckoned casually.
The two little eunuchs signaled and immediately retreated respectfully.
After a while, Fei Zhong walked over.
Fei Zhong is also a cultivator, although his strength is not strong, but there is still no problem in prolonging life and growing strong, with his current state, as long as he does not die by himself in the court, his position should always be firm.
"My lord, I have already spoken to the courtiers, and in three days it will be the enthronement ceremony of His Royal Highness Zisu......" Fei Zhong arched his hand towards Di Xin's back, looking respectful.
A series of recent events have made him more and more cautious about Di Xin, in the past, when Di Xin was young, the two could still be friends, joking, harmless, but now, Fei Zhong found that Di Xin is becoming more and more unfathomable, just like this time, he hid it from everyone, including his most trusted courtier.
Although Di Xin also explained to him later and explained the reason, Fei Zhong could understand it, but there was still some estrangement in his heart.
Although there is a barrier, it does not hurt the harmony, Fei Zhong occasionally laughs at himself at home, after all, he is a monarch and minister......
Di Xin stood up from the guardrail of the cloister, turned around, walked in front of Fei Zhong, supported the important minister with his hand, and said with a smile: "Who in the court is against it?"
When Fei Zhong heard this, his tone was anxious, and he said in an almost pleading voice: "King, you can't kill it anymore......"
Di Xin was stunned for a moment, looking at Fei Zhong's painful expression, he felt very funny, couldn't help laughing, and then patted Fei Zhong on the shoulder and said, "Lone is not the kind of person who loves to kill, why do you sound so cruel about Lone?"
Fei Zhong looked at Di Xin's appearance, and sighed in his heart, his own king is often like this now, his joy and anger are invisible, sometimes he doesn't speak, and his face is black, it doesn't mean that he is unhappy, and sometimes laughing doesn't mean that he is happy.
He thought about it, but after all, he didn't say anything, and now he didn't dare to speak as bluntly as before, and he was afraid that saying a lot of things would anger Di Xin.
Ji An Fei Zhong didn't speak, Di Xin also put away his smile, and sighed: "Fei Qing, in the past, even if you were dissatisfied with Gu, you were always outspoken when you had opinions, why are you dumb now? ”
Hearing this, Fei Zhong only felt that his mind was hot, and he thought of his ambitions when he was young, and instantly threw away all his ambitions, and said loudly: "King, now you are a high king, no one in this world dares to oppose you, even if someone dares, he will not see this fresh sun on the second day, and the minister does not want to die now." ”
Fei Zhong's voice was so loud that it kept echoing in the corridor.
When Di Xin heard this, he laughed again and patted Fei Zhong on the shoulder: "Okay, this is Fei Zhong, this is Lone's loyal minister!"
Between the two words, it seemed that the gap was a lot less, Di Xin shook his robe casually, sat down in the corridor again, patted the empty seat next to him, and motioned for Fei Zhong to sit down.
If it was usual, Fei Zhong would definitely not dare to sit, but just now, he said what was in his heart directly, and he was a lot bolder, and sat directly next to Di Xin.
The two of them seemed to go back to their youth, sitting together, looking at the sky, and talking about great ambitions.
"Fei Qing, when I was a child, I had a lot of ideas, and now, these ideas have been realized one by one, but Gu is not happy, do you know why?" Di Xin looked at the white clouds floating in the air, his eyes were full of memories.
Fei Zhong was slightly silent, and then said: "The king was still young back then, he had nothing, and he had pursuits, so no matter how many hardships he experienced on the way to pursue, he was always happy in his heart, but now, the king is powerful in the world, and everything is smooth sailing, and without the happiness in the pursuit process, he naturally feels bored and boring." ”
Di Xin nodded silently when he listened, turned his head to look at Fei Zhong, and said: "Fei Qing, Lone didn't plan to kill anyone this time, even if those families in Chaoge City secretly made small moves, I just picked off the head of their family master, as for the people below, Lone was temporarily imprisoned in a cell, Lone never thought of killing them, because Lone wanted to pave the way for the girl......
After the girl ascended the throne, Lone asked the girl to order them to be released, and when the time came, they would be considered to have inherited the girl's love......"
After hearing this, Fei Zhong raised his head and glanced at Di Xin, his eyes were clear for a while, and he was relieved in his heart, and his tone was a lot more relaxed: "I see, all this is in the king's calculations, and the minister is far from being as good as the king, and the minister is only when the king has been blinded by killing and hatred in the past few days, and now it seems that the king has always been sober, which is gratifying." ”
After hearing this, Di Xin smiled: "Lone's head is always awake, otherwise, where is Lone's turn to sit in this world?" From the Heavenly Gate to the Demon Clan, which of them doesn't want to take Lone's head? It's a pity, Lonely's life is big, they can't take it, they will never be able to take it." ”
After hearing this, Fei Zhong immediately said: "The king's blessing is the destiny of heaven, and these young people naturally don't want to hurt the king at all." ”
Di Xin smiled: "Okay, this is not like you, Fei Qing, Gu has said so much to you, just to sit down with you and have a heart-to-heart relationship, now can you tell me who is against it in the court, right?"
Unexpectedly, the topic came back to him, Fei Zhong was silent again, and he looked up at Di Xin, the majestic king was squinting slightly at this time, looking like he was about to fall asleep.
Fei Zhong gritted his teeth, and finally told everything in the DPRK and the ministers who opposed it one by one.
Di Xin listened silently, nodding from time to time.
After Fei Zhong finished speaking, he said: "King, although these courtiers are a little pedantic, but the starting point is good, they hold the old etiquette, it is difficult to change their concepts for a while, give them some opportunities, they will change." ”
Di Xin wants to launch Zisu to ascend the throne, and naturally there are many people in the court who oppose it, when Di Xin asked him before, Fei Zhong didn't dare to say it, but later those words made Fei Zhong also relax, and told them one by one, since the king wants His Royal Highness Zisu to ascend the throne, he will definitely imprison these courtiers, and when the time comes, let His Royal Highness Zisu release these people, this is kindness.
"Fei Qing, you are really still loyal to Gu, yes, on the list that Gu received, none of these people are missing, just like you said, you didn't deceive Gu. Di Xin looked at Fei Zhong with a look of relief.
When Fei Zhong heard this, his back couldn't help but feel cold, and his heart trembled a little, he calmed down, quickly sorted out the cause and effect, and then thought about it, only to realize that he had been brought into his topic by this king from beginning to end, but he had not thought about it seriously, and he missed a lot of key points.
With Di Xin's control over the government, how can he not know who is against it, even if there are fish that slip through the net, he can't set off any waves, he only needs to master the list of most people, these lists, as long as he says one less when the time comes, that is, forming a party for personal gain!
Di Xin did this, it seemed as if he was going to use a knife against these people, but in fact, he was testing him as a courtier!
"Fei Qing, Lone tells you directly like this, I just don't want you to be estranged in your heart, because the girl is about to ascend the throne, Lone wants to sweep everything for her, and you are Lone's most relied on minister, so Lone is tempting you like this, it is not only a temptation, but also a surface to you, as long as you assist the girl like Ao, Lone will ensure that you will always be the first minister of my business!"
Di Xin hadn't said so many things at one time for a long time, Fei Zhong heard this, no matter what he thought in his heart, no matter what Di Xin's purpose was, and no matter whether his words were true or false, at this time, he had to express his position, without any hesitation, Fei Zhong got up directly and bowed: "Wei Chen will live up to the king's trust, and he will never give up!"
Di Xin picked up Fei Zhong, patted the back of his hand, and said in a firm tone: "Fei Qing, there is no need to give up if you die, I hope you can live forever, for a long time, and that girl will depend on you in the future." ”
"The minister knows, the king can rest assured!" Fei Zhong assured again.
Di Xin nodded and continued: "Fei Qing, these people in the court are different from those families outside, they have more or less some background in their hands over the years, unlike those people from those families outside, they can't make any waves, and they will be released when they are released, but they are different, so there are some people in this who can't stay......"
Speaking of this, Di Xin's tone suddenly became indifferent, Fei Zhong's heart was cold, knowing that Di Xin had been talking for a long time, and finally wanted to raise the butcher knife to kill people, as he said, he wanted to pave the way for Zisu, and no accidents could be left.
With so many courtiers, who he wants to kill is a matter of his words, but Fei Zhong knows that no matter who he kills in the end, when the time comes, the entire court will settle this account on his head.
Not for anything else, just because he Fei Zhong personally contacted these people, personally conveyed the news, and personally persuaded them, and finally went to the palace in person, and then this time it came out, those who went to prison in the court and the middle of the country went to prison, and they died, this account is not on his head, who is on it?
When Di Xin did this, he was blatantly telling him, Fei Qing, you will be a lonely minister in the future......
After figuring it out, Fei Zhong didn't say anything, just shook his head with a wry smile, arched his hand towards Di Xin, and didn't say a word.
The monarch wants to die, and the minister has to die, let alone be a lonely minister......
Di Xin looked at Fei Zhong's appearance, sighed, and patted Fei Zhong's shoulder again: "Fei Qing, the enthronement ceremony of the girl in Zisu in three days also needs you to handle it personally, so take a good rest these days, and by the way, avoid the storms in the court." ”
Fei Qing nodded silently, only said a promise in his mouth, and then bowed to Di Xin, turned around and said goodbye.
He knew that after stepping out of the gate of this palace, he would be a lonely minister......
In order to confirm his reputation as a lonely minister, Di Xin also told him just now that after leaving the palace and returning to his home, he would not see any guests in the past few days, so he would have a good rest.
For you have betrayed them, and you are ashamed of them, and those people, the descendants of the dead courtiers, will spit on you, and hate you to the core......
