Chapter 406: The Situation Is Critical
That night, the place where Luo Tai brought Lu Jianxing and Yichuan was not his own residence, they set off from the residence and went all the way to the one-tile bungalow on the outskirts of the city. This place was found with the help of Ding Xiu, and it was very hidden. Considering this time in the movie, Zhao Jingzhong will come to attack them. In order to avoid disturbance, Rotai came here.
As soon as he entered the house, Lu Jianxing couldn't wait to ask, "Second brother, what's going on?" β
Luo Tai unhurriedly lifted a bluestone on the floor and took out a pile of yellow golden grains from it. Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan's eyes widened.
"I'll be honest with you, Wei Zhongxian is not dead." Rotai said.
"What did you say?" Lu Jianxing was stunned.
"Big brother, third brother, don't worry, listen to me slowly." Luo Taidao.
"This qiΔ is all Zhao Jingzhong's conspiracy." Luo Tai told the story. It took him twenty minutes to explain the whole situation.
After listening to the whole process, Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan sat on the chair and couldn't speak for a long time. Of course they believed what Rotai said. And today, Zhang Ying's abnormal desire to put the three brothers to death proves this even more.
"Alas, as soon as Zhao Jingzhong found the three of us, we were doomed to die. We are just pawns in Zhao Jingzhong's eyes. Therefore, big brother, if we want to be hundreds of households, if we want to have a future, we must bring down Zhao Jingzhong! Luo Tai said undeniably.
After being silent for a long time, Lu Jianxing slowly stood up, he walked to the window, looked at the dark night sky, let out a long sigh, and then turned around and said, "No, two good brothers, the eldest brother is not worthy of these hundred households." None of us have to die. Let's go, we leave the capital. Bring your family and live a good life in seclusion in the countryside from now on. β
These are Lu Jianxing's heartfelt words. At this moment, he finally saw clearly the mediocrity of the entire imperial court, and saw the ugly faces above the temple. What can you do if you become a hundred? own character. It can't be confluent with the filth of the entire court.
Instead of this, it is better to put aside a qiΔ, live in seclusion in the field, and spend the rest of your life with peace of mind.
"Big brother." Luo Tai stepped forward and said, "I know that you are thinking about the future of our brother. To tell the truth, none of us three brothers are suitable for mixing in the official-field field. But now we have no way back. β
"Second brother, what does this mean? Can't we run away? Lu Jianxing said.
"Zhao Jingzhong is not down, where can we run? I'm afraid it won't be long before I leave the capital. will be hunted down by a large number of brocade guards. If we drag our family with us, it will be even more dangerous. Luo Tai analyzed.
"But, second brother, have you thought about it, just the three of us, how to bring down Zhao Jingzhong? He is now a celebrity around the emperor, let's not say that there is no evidence, even if there is evidence, how can it be presented to the emperor, even if it is presented to the emperor. The emperor may not believe it. Lu Jianxing said.
"What the eldest brother said makes sense, now in Zhao Jingzhong's eyes, we are just like ants. But in order to live with peace of mind in the future. We ants must shake his tree. Rotai said.
Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan looked at each other, they really couldn't think of any way to shake Zhao Jingzhong. Lu Jianxing frowned slightly and asked, "Second brother, is there a way?" β
"I contacted a small eunuch in charge of the emperor's chamberlain through Wei Zhongxian's connections, and I gave him some gold. He promised to help me infiltrate the Emperor's bedchamber. Luo Tai said calmly.
"What?" Lu Jianxing exclaimed again: "You won't want to assassinate the emperor, will you?" This is absolutely unacceptable! We are only framed by traitors now, and when it comes to heaven, there is a reason to live, and maybe there is a chance to escape from the capital. If you assassinate the emperor, then everyone in the world will be punished. We have no hope of being alive anymore. β
"Big brother, I will not assassinate the emperor. I just want Chongzhen to know about this qiΔ. Now if you want to quickly bring down Zhao Jingzhong, who else can there be in the court besides the emperor? So. I chose to take a gamble. If Chongzhen is a Ming Jun, he will be able to distinguish right from wrong. If he's a faint man, I'll tie him up. Forced him to kill Zhao Jingzhong and buy time for you to escape. Luo Tai said slowly.
Lu Jianxing listened to Luo Tai's words. Cold sweat soaks the back. He was indeed intimidated by Rotai. This brother is too fierce. If you don't move, you will kidnap the Son of Heaven!
"Second brother!" Lu Jianxing shook his head and said, "I can't do it." Whether Chongzhen is a Ming monarch or a faint monarch, he is the emperor, and any emperor will never tolerate a small flag head of a brocade guard who blends into the inner palace and negotiates conditions with him. Even if he is moved by you, he will kill you first, kill Zhao Jingzhong, and then kill everyone who knows. Although the eldest brother is dull, the eldest brother knows that the majesty of the Son of Heaven cannot be offended. The Son of Heaven will never make mistakes, even if he makes mistakes, it is the fault of his subordinates.
Therefore, in this matter, whether you can bring down Zhao Jingzhong or not, as long as you step into the palace and touch the emperor, we will all die. β
Luo Tai was silent, he ignored the question of the majesty of the ancient emperor, and Lu Jianxing was right. His own idea is a little simple, what he thinks about is that TongguΓ² Chongzhen overthrew Zhao Jingzhong, and then asked Chongzhen to give Lu Jianxing a hundred households, no matter how long he has been in office, as long as he is in office within two months, even if he is dismissed after becoming a person, he can be regarded as having completed the task.
By this time, he had sensed the enormity of these tasks. If you don't give your brothers, including Zhou Miaotong, you will be left with a way out. Even if he completes his mission and leaves this world within two months, then the days that follow these people will be miserable.
No, he can't leave such a hidden danger, absolutely not.
But what now? Do you give up threatening Chongzhen and threaten Zhao Jingzhong instead? Zhao Jingzhong also has the ability to help Lu Jianxing become a hundred households, and then kill him when he leaves here, isn't this a hundred?
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room, and the three brothers quickly clenched the embroidered spring knife at their waists.
"I, Ding Xiu." Someone at the door said.
Luo Tai opened the door and let Ding Xiu in. Ding Xiu glanced at Yichuan, and then said to Luo Tai, "Wei Zhongxian is gone. β
"What?" Luo Tai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "What's the matter with you?" Didn't I tell you to follow him all the time? β
Ding Xiu sighed and said, "I'm sorry, this guy is much more familiar with the capital than me, he slipped away when he went to the toilet." β
"What now?" Lu Jianxing didn't bother to ask Ding Xiu, he knew that the people who could enter this room were his own people.
"Wei Zhongxian should know that he is now the one who everyone has to be punished, and he is also hunted down and killed when he escapes to the ends of the earth, and besides, now the imperial court has believed that he is dead. He shouldn't let others see him anymore and set himself on fire," Rotai muttered as he paced.
"Then what do you mean," Ding Xiu asked puzzled.
"According to common sense, Wei Zhongxian is the safest under our cover, unless I understand." Luo Tai nodded and said, "Wei Zhongxian knows that I want to meet Chongzhen, he must think that this is a dead end, and if he stays with us, he will die sooner or later." And he can't gain a foothold in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so he can only run outside the pass, and run to where the wild boar skin may have a glimmer of life. However, it is difficult for him to bypass the heavy official card on his own. However, there is a person in the capital who can help him do it. β
"Zhao Jingzhong!" Lu Jianxing blurted out.
"That's right," Luo Tai nodded and said, "He thinks he knows Zhao Jingzhong very well, and he thinks that as long as he and Zhao Jingzhong analyze the pros and cons, Zhao Jingzhong may not kill him again." Zhao Jingzhong is only worried about Wei Zhongxian's mouth, if Wei Zhongxian promises to leave the Ming Dynasty, then Zhao Jingzhong really hasn't killed him first, and the two of them will target us at the same time. β
It seems that the threat he just thought of against Zhao Jingzhong and letting the eldest brother become a hundred households will not work. Luo Tai secretly thought that Zhao Jing was too cunning and insidious. Under his shadow, even if Lu Jianxing became a hundred, he would definitely not live for two months.
Rather than that, it's better to bet big! Thinking of this, Luo Tai made up his mind, and he said to the three of them: "You guys are here to stand still, I will go to the palace now!" β
"Second brother.!" Lu Jianxing said. But his words were interrupted by Rotai.
"Big brother, anyway, the horizontal will die, and the vertical will die. I bet on the Son of Heaven than on the Son of Heaven. After speaking, he resolutely walked out of the door (to be continued)
