Chapter Seventy-Five: Shou and Tianqi
Zuo Prime Minister Dao Xiaoli said that Xie An's eyebrows were completely erected at this time, like an inverted eight characters full of anger. The official closest to Prime Minister Zuo secretly pulled Prime Minister Zuo's wide sleeves and signaled him not to add fuel to the fire.
With the transformation of people's encounters and status, the relationship between people naturally changes. It is inevitable that all have something to say: there are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends.
Thirty years ago, between the former lord of the country and Xie Ancheng, Prime Minister Zuo firmly stood on Xie Ancheng's faction. Not only did he not criticize Xie Ancheng for killing the former lord at all, but he even had a supportive attitude. Afterwards, he helped Xie Ancheng eliminate dissidents and enter the Wuxu Palace and sit on this temporary throne. However, no matter how great the merit is, it has long since faded with the passage of time. Now in Xie Ancheng's eyes, this old guy who is old and has a chaotic mind is no different from those thieves.
They were all stumbling blocks on his way to the throne of the kingdom. If it weren't for the fact that Zuo Xiang was highly respected in the court and could stabilize people's hearts, Xie Ancheng would have wanted to drive him away or eliminate him directly.
Xie Ancheng stroked the smooth armrest of the throne, and said slowly with obvious contempt and disgust: "It's because the long-term procrastination of the civil war has depleted the treasury, so we have to go all out to wipe out these chaotic thieves." Once and for all. Zuo Xiang, I said that your old man is really old, and this cause and effect relationship is not straight. It's really old, so you don't have to go to court if you have nothing to do in the future, and you can rest and recuperate at home. ”
Xie Ancheng's words were light and slow, and there was contempt hidden in every word, Prime Minister Zuo's old face first turned red, then turned sallow and sallow, and finally turned pale.
"General Ben has all taken the imperial expedition in person, and he has worked hard with the thieves to keep you courtiers in the capital, can't he bear it? Needless to say, it is so decided! Immediately gather all the soldiers inside and outside the city to go out with the general tomorrow. Xie Ancheng was stubborn, and all the words of the left minister were blocked.
In the entire court, even the left minister spoke to refute it, and there was no one to persuade him to live and settle down.
The strong must send troops, and Xie Ancheng has his own considerations in his heart. Of course, it's not the reason on the surface, if you really want to be so light, you can't wipe out those rebels in one go, and you don't have to drag it out for thirty years, and it won't be irreparable until now. Naturally, it is for the treasure! Xie Ancheng vaguely knew that the treasure was located somewhere in the western desert of the country of Wu, if it weren't for the mysterious force that had been occupying the western boundary, Xie Ancheng would have let people rummage through every inch of land there.
And now, according to the secret agent, Ren Zhong walked into this sensitive place before him with a treasure map. Whether the duty is intentional or a desperate intrusion under the pursuit. all made Xie Ancheng feel creepy.
He had too many concerns, but he didn't want to share information about the treasure with these people in the court, and it was difficult to ensure that these people under his nose also had different intentions, so he couldn't explain more, and pursued under the banner of chasing the troublemakers.
In short, this trip had to be done.
Scattered Dynasty. Hundreds of officials withdrew from the Wuxu Palace, and hundreds of people walked like cats with soft cushions under their feet, without a sound and silent.
Prime Minister Zuo was slow and the last to withdraw from the hall. He walked at the back of the line, bowing his head and stepping down the marble steps. The palace people in the palace saw it, and went up to help, but they were waved away. The old prime minister walked very slowly, very slowly, and while walking, he reflected on the extremely heavy steps he walked. He once believed that as the prime minister of a country, we should be far-sighted, start with a big vision, and focus on the overall situation. Therefore, in the matter of Xie Ancheng's sudden assassination of the former lord, the left prime minister did not express his fierceness with the right prime minister, and did not reprimand or oppose Xie Ancheng's behavior.
The cowardly former lord of the country was not originally chosen by heaven, and the moment he died, the general trend was gone, and it was futile to condemn Xie Ancheng's impulse again. Because of the way of heaven, Prime Minister Zuo even approved of Xie Ancheng's approach, and classified his reckless behavior as a heroic and righteous act. The right prime minister of the same dynasty disagreed with him, believing that Xie Ancheng's behavior was the following rebellion. He is a great traitor to the country of E.
Then Prime Minister Zuo looked at his friend who had been with him for 200 years, and committed suicide in anger after losing this struggle.
Prime Minister Zuo was of course sad but did not regret it, he thought his choice was right. With the passage of time, the more he understood Xie Ancheng for more than 30 years, the more disappointed he became, and the more he questioned his original choice. Today's dialogue with Xie Ancheng in the court was the last straw, crushing all the beliefs of this old man who has been an official for a hundred years.
Heavenly Dao also seems to perceive what is happening in the country, and it is slowly abandoning the dynasty of this era. Prime Minister Zuo could clearly feel that his body was aging rapidly, and it was Tiandao who automatically removed his official position. The responsibilities he had on his back were lifted, and his life was coming to an end. When he goes underground, he apologizes to the father of the first lord he served, the former lord.
Then one day there will be a new lord of the country, a new courtier will be elected, and a new dynasty will be established. As long as the new lord and the new hype benefit the world, they can enjoy a thousand years of life.
……
When Helian Xiaojiang and the twelve blue wolves worked hard to catch up with them, this group of remnants was experiencing a hard battle with the greatest disparity in strength, not only in terms of disparity in strength, but also in a vast desert desert where sand and rocks were flying, and dozens of people were suddenly ambushed by the opponent's thousand-strong army, and they couldn't avoid it at all. There is no cover to shelter around, and it is not realistic to escape, so you can only carry it to the death.
By the time they were found, there were only about twenty men left in the small army of fifty men. Everyone is glorious and overdrawn, and they are still insisting on facing the battle.
The vulture hovers in mid-air and chirps, a swoop that attacks the enemy, sometimes hooking its sharp, strong claws onto the armor of its soldiers, pulling them high into the air and throwing them down.
Seeing that his brothers and companions were in a bitter battle, the ten people who rushed back didn't say a word, and rushed over to join the melee with a loud shout. The help of ten more people is like a small raindrop falling into the endless sea, and its effect is minimal, and it has no power to turn the situation around. But they still didn't hesitate. Helian Xiaojiang and the blue wolf glanced at each other and joined in tacitly.
Ren Zhong was attacked by the opponent's ten people together, he made a weak gesture and retreated step by step, found an opportunity to raise his knife and turned around, the blade slashed through the chests of four people in a row, and then kicked away the two sneak attackers behind him with two consecutive kicks. Striding away from the attack of the remaining few people, he retreated from a safe distance and was about to take a deep breath when he suddenly noticed the breath of someone nearby. He hurriedly raised his knife again and waited solemnly, and when he turned his face, he saw two familiar faces that he never expected to see again.
