Chapter 9 Lotus seeds are as clear as water

Soon, King Liang came to the table and asked for his resignation as generalissimo of soldiers and horses.

The Holy One didn't even make a gesture of retention, and he was approved.

Later, the saint summoned the prince, King Liang and King Wei in the palace, and told King Liang to recuperate from his injuries, and said some words such as brothers, friends, brothers, and brothers, and the monarchs and ministers were in order, and they supported each other, so he told the three brothers to retreat.

The three of them walked out of the palace, King Liang waved it in a chic manner, and said with a smile: "In the past, there were mundane things, and the brothers wanted to get close, but there was no chance, now I am idle, if the prince and the third brother are free, but please come to the house to sit, I will sprinkle the court and cook tea." ”

Tai * Zi and King Wei both smiled heartily and kindly, one was called "Second Brother" and the other was called "Second Brother", both said: "...... My own brother, what are you polite? When you are free, you must get together to express your brotherly love. ”

The three of them parted ways in front of the palace gate. King Liang drove home in a car.

Tai * Zi Wei Hong and Wei Wang Wei watched King Liang's car gradually disappear on the avenue, and the smiles on their faces became cold.

Wei Tang sneered: "Big brother, what kind of calculation do you say the second child is playing?" He really resigned as generalissimo of soldiers and horses, but out of sincerity? ”

Wei Hong squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the direction of King Liang, and smiled faintly: "How is it sincere, what if it is not sincere?" ”

Wei Tang glanced at the guards in front of the palace gate, and saw that they were far away and could not hear, so he whispered: "If it is not out of sincerity, it is inevitable that you will not be convinced, and sooner or later disaster will arise." ”

Wei Hong held the hand behind the back of the horsewhip behind his back, and sneered: "How can you take it?" At the beginning, his cheap mother failed to compete for favor with the queen mother and died tragically, and the queen mother made him go to the military camp, just to let him fend for himself. Unexpectedly, he showed extraordinary military talent at a young age, from a general to a generalissimo, it can be said that he has today's status because of his life. How could he give up this power so easily? Giving up is just a last resort. ”

Wei Dan showed a trace of confusion on his face, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Big brother, do you mean that the second child was frightened by this injury?" ”

Wei Hong snorted coldly and said, "He has been fighting for many years, what dangerous scenes have he never seen?" How could a minor injury inflicted by an assassin scare him? It was his father who forced him to relinquish power. Didn't the third brother find out? In recent years, as the good king's reputation has become greater and his merits have increased, is his father happy on the surface, but worried in his heart? Listening to the chamberlain, once my father sighed and said, 'This second child may be coveting my throne'. Is this a random statement? Not to mention the death of that...... My father always suspected that King Liang had a grudge......"

"I'm afraid that it's because of this that my father is suppressing him? Otherwise, I am afraid that the position of the prince would have been snatched away by him. ”

The Tai * Zi stopped talking. The brothers took their horsewhips and walked silently. A large number of entourage guards followed from a distance, carefully keeping a distance that would protect the safety of the two princes in the event of an emergency without hearing them.

Their father, the emperor, was indecisive, that is, he was afraid that the power of the good king was growing bigger day by day, and he let it go, so that he, the prince, should be worried. If you don't take the initiative early, you're afraid that one day you'll be victimized.

Wei Tang saw that Wei Hong's face was worried, so he said: "Now that he has no military power, we can sit back and relax." ”

Rest easy? Wei Hong secretly sneered. His third brother has always been simple-minded, and it is precisely because of this that he has become close to this younger brother.

Seeing that Wei Hong didn't speak for a long time, King Wei was puzzled: "Big brother? ”

Wei Hong smiled faintly, "Even if a tiger is pulled out of its claws, it is still a tiger, and it will hurt people if it breaks out." Fighting tigers is not necessarily a big evil. The second child was forced by the threat of his father to take the initiative to hand over the military power, but it was only when he saw that his forces were in the army, and it came in handy when he fought with real swords and guns. But if he really wants to fight with real swords and guns, he will rebel, and his name is not right, and he is afraid of being criticized by the world. Only then did he pretend to surrender his military power. Wouldn't it be better to hand it over openly and secretly hold it? This is just a strategy to retreat, deceiving our soft-eared father, so that our father and we think that he is soft, so we don't guard against him, so he can do it secretly...... What we have to do is to make him retreat and never get up again. ”

"Big brother is talking about ......"

"Have you heard that the North Underworld has been moving a lot lately?"

"Well, the North has repeatedly disturbed my borders, and I heard that it occupied our two state capitals in the first two months...... This is no longer harassment, but violation! ”

Wei Hong bowed his head and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to have a big battle." ”

In the past, the Northern Underworld was just an uncivilized nomadic tribe, and the occasional invasion was just to rob some property and kill some civilians. Since three years ago, there was a person named Jielisa who unified the Northern Underworld, and that place has become more and more powerful, and this year Jielisa actually called the emperor and handed the letter of state to the emperor of the Central Zhou Dynasty, so that the emperor of the Central Zhou Dynasty recognized his status and country. Emperor Jun of the Middle Zhou Dynasty was furious after receiving the letter of state, and said: "On the side of the collapse, how can you allow others to sleep peacefully!" "Not only drove out the envoys, but also sent troops to pacify, but I didn't expect to encounter resistance, and the pacification failed to succeed but suffered heavy losses, losing two state capitals.

Wei Tang said: "Big brother, but let me take advantage of this to take the position?" ”

Wei Hong thought for a while and said, "Wait, if the soldiers in front can't stand it, you go again." It is easier to build a prestige when ordered to be in danger. Isn't the second child the one who couldn't resist the invasion of Eastern Xia that year, he won a big battle and became famous in a fight? ”

When Wei Tang heard this, he straightened his chest and said proudly: "Then let those fans of the Northern Ming be proud for a few more days." Before that, find a way to completely cut off the minions of the sick tiger of the second child, so that he can no longer get up. ”

Wei Hong smiled slightly. The third child is kind in the end, he only thinks about cutting off his minions, and what he wants is to get rid of the tiger.

Wei Hong suddenly said: "What do you think of Dongfang Yi?" ”

Wei Yu didn't think about it and said: "Kung Fu is good, no less than Jin Ze, but the eldest brother wants to reuse this person?" ”

Tai Zi pondered for a long time before he said: "In Jiayan City, King Liang has met him, and he has the intention of recruiting. ”

Wei Tang was taken aback: "Is this news true?" ”

Wei Hong glared at Wei Tang. Wei Tang realized that his voice was a little higher just now, and he smiled at his brother to apologize.

Wei Hong said: "Of course the news is true. I have my own reliable source. "Jin Ze saw Dongfang Yi in the army of the good king, so is there anything wrong? However, he couldn't tell Wei Tang this. sent Jin Ze to assassinate, only Tai * Zi and Jin Ze knew.

Wei Tang's expression became solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Could it be that the Dongfang family sent him to meet the second child secretly?" The Dongfang family has two hearts for the eldest brother? ”

Wei Hong sneered: "Forgive him for not daring!" I asked Dongfang to ask. Dongfang Miao said that his second brother has always been informal, and he has made friends with all three religions and nine streams, and he is quite a charismatic person, and he has never asked about political affairs, but he is just a carefree son, a rich and virtuous man. Jin Ze has checked, Dongfang Yi is indeed an idle person who does not do his job. ”

Wei Tang softened his face at this time, and said after a while: "Such idle clouds and wild cranes, even if they have some talents, they are difficult to control, so they don't need it." ”

Suddenly, I remembered that the woman that the eldest brother liked on the polo field seemed to be a little different from Dongfang Yi...... Then he said: "That daughter of Jinghou seems to like him quite a lot. ”

Wei Xuan stroked the horsewhip with the handle inlaid with five-colored gems in his hand, and said lightly: "Since the good king knows how to attract talents, won't I?" Since this Dongfang Yi has some talents, they will be used by me. It's hard to control what to be afraid of! No matter how wild a wild horse is, as long as you find the right whip, you can still tame it. The concubine of Jinghou Mansion is the beautiful and gentle whip, and she is not afraid that he will be disobedient. ”
