CHAPTER XIV

"Drag him down, and destroy his arm first!"

Qi Heng is obviously messing around, but he is the prince in the end, and there is no reason to kill him Zhao Pingtong, and he can't find a place to reason. The matter of the pen fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info against the prince can be big or small, but Qiheng is clearly here to trouble him, and he will definitely not spare him. He couldn't stand it either way.

Zhao Pingtong shouted bad luck in his heart, only bowed his head and pleaded guilty, and stopped talking. When Qi Heng finished saying that he was going to unload his legs, his face turned pale with fright, he had already said according to Qi Heng's intentions, who would have expected him to be so crooked, "Your Highness!" That's really ...... It's not me ......."

"You slandered the prince of Chen Guo first, and then injured the prince, and now only your arm is wasted or the punishment is heavy?!" Qiheng said nonsense. A few guards on the side were about to torture Zhao Pingtong.

Zhao Pingtong couldn't argue and had to beg for mercy, "What His Highness said, what His Highness said." It was the minions who stood in the way of His Highness. I hope Your Highness spares the minions! ”

"Spare you?" Qiheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm just here today to ask how Wang Shenglang died?" The doctor said that the medicine residue was all medicines used by the king's envoys to treat old diseases, was he wrong? Tell me again, and if you say it well, you will be overpaid and you will not be punished. ”

Zhao Pingtong saw that he didn't follow Qi Heng's words, and today he was afraid that he would not be able to die, and he still had the ability to steer the rudder, so his brain turned and he said hurriedly, "Wang Yi died suddenly of an old illness." Right! He died suddenly from an old disease. ”

Someone next to him had already written down these words and handed them to Qi Heng, Qi Heng looked at them and smiled, and then handed them to Zhao Pingtong, "Look at it, this confession is yours?" ”

Zhao Pingtong still dared to look at it, and said in his heart that even if it wasn't, what could he do, so he took it and immediately signed his name.

Qi Heng smiled, "Give it to King Chen." He added, "This Lu Yu's grievances are finally clear." ”

I don't know who is wronged. Zhao Pingtong breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that he had finally sent away this plague god. Qi Heng only walked a few steps, but turned back and said, "I am in a foreign country, and I miss my father and queen mother." When I arrived at your embassy today, I saw that you were all furnished by Xinling, and I felt even more cordial when I saw the tables and chairs in the hall. ”

Zhao Pingtong hurriedly squeezed out a smile, "Your Highness is filial, and the villain immediately asked people to send this table and chair to His Highness." ”

"No need. These furnishings are still matched with the embassy to have the taste of Xinling. He sighed again, "When I look at your table and chairs, I think of when my imperial grandmother was still there, my father and queen mother often sat with the imperial grandmother. Saying that, before Zhao Pingtong could react, Qiheng turned around and walked a few steps quickly, knelt down and bowed to the empty throne, and said, "I feel cordial when I see you here, I only feel that my imperial grandmother seems to be sitting on the main throne." As he spoke, he bowed to the left side of the hall, and read in his mouth, "Father, my son's ministers greet you." He bowed to the right side again, "Mother, I wish you good health." Qi Heng was originally a play, but when he mentioned his mother here, he felt missed, and he was really depressed, and he was not in the mood to play, so he stood up and left immediately.

Zhao Pingtong opened his eyes and looked at Qi Heng for a few bows, then he reacted suddenly, knelt down busily, and said in his heart that Qi Heng bowed like this, and the chair in the embassy lobby could not sit from today on.

Although Chen Ming asked Lu Jin to find Qi Heng, he didn't expect Qi Heng to deal with it like a fool, obviously using the practice of bullying others, although he achieved his goal, he also left a lot of trouble.

King Chen summoned Zhao Pingtong to the palace again for questioning. Chen Ming deliberately summoned Qiheng again.

Zhao Pingtong has already said yes in front of Qi Heng, and now that Qi Heng is also there, how dare he retract his confession? It is impossible to say that Qiheng can detain him for the crime of bullying the king.

________

Lu Jin handed over the book to Chen Ming before, and Chen Ming presented it to King Chen after reading it, and tried his best to promote the owner of the garden. King Chen was summoned.

A few days later, Lu Qi was buried. Chen Ming asked the owner of the garden to take to the palace and personally guided the way for him. When he arrived at the inner hall, Chen Ming immediately retreated.

When the owner of the garden saw King Chen, he only made a simple gesture and said, "The master's order is difficult to disobey, and I can't report my name, and I hope that King Chen will forgive me." ”

In recent years, people with a little talent have dared to show off everywhere. It's just that those people have good ideas to attract attention, but there are not many real materials. Since the owner of the garden had just entered the inner hall, King Chen had been looking at him. Seeing that the owner of the garden was neither humble nor arrogant, polite in advance and retreat, there was no vulgarity of a merchant at all, and even in this inner hall, there was no panic at all, and it was really a strange person, so he took a few steps forward and pulled up the owner of the garden, and said, "Since you said that the master's order is difficult to disobey, I will not be reluctant." ”

This King Chen is looking at the owner of the garden, why is the owner not looking at King Chen?

He has been smart since he was a child, and he is arrogant, and he has to learn everything from martial arts and hexagrams, and he is also proficient in everything. He learned these skills, but he was not willing to hide in the mountains. The gentleman said that he was too ambitious to be like a recluse, and that something great would happen in the world, and someone was about to solve it, so he sent him down the mountain.

The owner of the garden and King Chen discussed the way to govern the country, and King Chen was convinced. He also analyzed the situation in the world and talked about the art of war and warfare, all of which were amazing. Chen Wangxin said that he was really a capable person, so he got up and poured tea for the owner of the garden.

The owner of the garden smiled slightly, "Thank you for your appreciation." Suddenly, the conversation changed, and he said, "Dare to ask the king, is there a piece of jade slip hidden on the temple?" ”

Chen Wang was shocked. This is indeed the case. The jade slip has been passed down from generation to generation, and few people know about it. Who is this owner of the garden, not only does he know that there is a jade slip, but he also knows where the jade slip is hidden, he is shocked in his heart, but his face is silent, and he said in a deep voice, "Exactly." ”

The owner of the garden said, "Dare to ask King Chen, but I am willing to obey the will of heaven." After saying a salute, he said, "If the Son of Heaven loses his morality, the world will be chaotic." I was not willing to help King Chen raise troops. ”

"It's a big rebellion!" Chen Wang was shocked and took the case.

The owner of the garden took out a wooden box, and the two seal script inscriptions on the wooden box - Changhuang, the surrounding carved patterns are chaotic and mysterious, and there seems to be an inexplicable demagogy in detail, which makes it difficult to look away at a glance. King Chen was instantly confused, reached out and took the wooden box, and paused for a moment before opening it, and there was nothing inside.

"Empty?!" King Chen was shocked! This wooden box also has one in the Jongmyo Temple, but it is by no means the same. It's not supposed to be empty.

"If this piece of jade is lost, no matter who it is, it can only be a disaster." The owner of the garden gave another salute and said, "Jade Jian is in the world, and there must be another big chaos in the world." ”

King Chen's eyes wandered, "It's just some rumors, what does it have to do with the government." ”

The owner of the garden looked at King Chen's expression and said, "There must be a reason for the rumors." The world will be in turmoil, and there must be guidance from the Lord. The owner of the garden stood up and bowed, "The king of Lingji lost his morality, and the king of Chengfu stood on behalf of the spirit; King Chengxi lost his morality, and King Mi of Zhou stood on his behalf; King Yongli lost his morality, and King Qiwu led his troops to stand on behalf of Yongli; It can be seen that the reincarnation of heaven is always in the hands of sages. God has let virtuous people govern the world instead of God, and now the emperor is immoral, killing loyal ministers, pro-villains, good ministers fleeing, abolishing concubines, spoiling concubines, indecisive, and unclear. Although the emperor is there, he is a subordinate villain who covers the sky with one hand. ”

King Chen still didn't speak, and the owner of the garden said again. "Under the royal road, the monarch reuses virtuous teachers, and the people are rich and the business is prosperous; Under the hegemony, the talented people are reused, and the talented people are rich; The country of Gou Yan reuses mediocrity, and the officials fish in troubled waters and are richer than the royal family; The emperor of the dying country reuses the minions who tend to be inflammatory, and gathers wealth and pleasure. And when today's people are close to slaves who only know how to serve their masters, and don't listen to their advice, this is the lord of the dead country. If the king asks about the relationship with the government, this is it! ”

King Chen's face became cold when he heard this, "If the world is in chaos, you must be one of the triggers." Although the emperor is muddy, the world is not chaotic, and there is a way to cure the world if it is not chaotic. If there is a war, the people will be displaced, and I will not be a sinner in the world. ”

The owner of the garden stepped forward again and said, "King Chen, think twice, look at the world today!" In recent years, there has been constant border friction between the two countries. The new Eclipse Bo is greedy and ruthless, and the defense of the country will come into his mouth sooner or later. The state of Wu in the west had fought with Xian and was defeated and declared a vassal, but he was not convinced, and now he privately raised troops in an attempt to retaliate. The king of Sanchuan in the south is weak, and if he allows his courtiers to become stronger, there will be great changes. How can the world be stable? It is better to lead the troops directly into Xinling, if King Chen refuses to bear the charge of rebellion, he can support the former prince Qiheng. ”

After saying this, there was a solemn silence all around. There were only two people in this house, Chen Wang's gardener, and now it was even quieter. King Chen said in a sullen voice, "The ancestors received great favor from the emperor, and they did not dare to speak about the rebellion. Although Chen stationed troops, he was only to prevent the invasion of Beirong. If the world is peaceful, Chen does not want to provoke a war. ”

The owner of the garden was unwilling, and bowed again, "I heard that Wu Qing was originally a general of Hengguo, but he raised troops to force the palace to make a rebellion and took Wu Lusheng's position. waved his army to the east, and the Son of Heaven had no choice but to crown him as the king of Wu. Up to now, Wu Qing's lineage has been passed down for three generations. King Chen is willing to pay tribute to such a person? ”

King Chen didn't know what he meant by asking, and said, "I don't want to." ”

The owner of the garden said, "I heard that the Eclipse King was irritable by nature, and he was originally the third son of the former Eclipse King, and there was no possibility of succession, but he killed two brothers in a row, and the Eclipse King died in a hurry, and the Eclipse King was able to inherit the throne. King Chen is willing to let the world fall into such hands? ”

"Naturally, I don't want to." Chen Wang said.

"If King Chen refuses to raise an army, the world will fall into the hands of these two sooner or later." The owner said again.

The owner of this garden is obviously afraid that the world will not be chaotic, but since he came with a wooden box...... King Chen calculated in his heart, suppressed his murderous intent, closed his eyes and said, "You go down." ”

King Chen's voice became colder, and there was a faint murderous intent, and the owner of the garden sighed in his heart, and only said, "King Chen has no such intention, so he has no choice but to retire." One day, King Chen will know that what I say is true. ”

Chen Wang said, "If there is a difficulty, I, Chen Guo, will definitely send troops to help, and I will not let the country fall into the hands of those two people." But I, Chen Guo, don't dare to covet the world. When I succeeded to the throne, I received the will of my ancestors, guarded the Two Realms Mountain, and did not dare to let the northern Hu people invade. Now that the Hu people are frequently tempted, they must have the heart to go south, if I send troops south at this time, how can the north be protected? ”
