Chapter 481: Mr. Dong
Dong Jihe was silent for a long time.
Finally, a wry smile spread across his face.
"In this matter, can Master Hou and Qin Shuai allow me to talk to the two of you in private?"
"Okay." Wang Xiao nodded, "Lord Yao, I'm sorry......"
Yao Wenhuaba had to get involved in these things.
He originally thought that Wang Xiao invited him to use his identity as a supervisor to suppress Qin Chengye, but he didn't expect that he doubted himself.
This made him angry and afraid!
All in all, Dong Jihe's private talk is exactly what Yao Wenhua wants.
- Huh, your little, the old man still doesn't bother to know, how amazing?
Yao Wenhua snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves and walked out of the lobby, only to see a little woman crying outside with pear blossoms and rain, and rushed to his side when he raised his head.
"It's ......"
Yao Wenhua couldn't help but have some expectations in his heart.
The next moment, I saw the little woman throw herself into Cai Tongyu's arms and cry: "Woo woo...... Grandfather, are you alright? β
"It's okay, it's okay, Huaiyuanhou has proved his innocence for his grandfather." Cai Tongyu patted Cai Nianzhen on the back and sighed.
"It's him ......"
Yao Wenhua was bored, snorted, and walked away.
Cai Nianzhen didn't care who this bad old man with a lot of official authority was, the tears on her face had not dried, but there was only one thought in her heart: Hou Ye really still likes me, it must be......
~~
In the lobby, Lin Shaoyuan is still guarding to prevent people from approaching.
Wang Xiao, Qin Chengye, Dong Ji and the three of them sat separately, but the atmosphere was completely different from last night.
After a long time, Dong Jihe sighed and said, "How does Master Hou know that it is me?" β
"If you think about it, it can only be you." Wang smiled: "Mr. Dong claims to be a Confucian scholar, and Confucianism talks about monarchs and ministers, but it is too strange that you instigated Qin Zongrong to rebel against me." β
"Also, if you want to kidnap me and force me to interrogate, you don't have to go to the temple outside the city. Qin Zongrong has been stationed in Jinzhou for many years, so he can't find a secret place to talk in the city? I asked you this question, and you said you wanted to act realistically. Wang Xiao shook his head and said, "It's really unreal." β
Dong Jihe was stunned, and his smile became more and more bitter.
Wang smiled and said: "The movements of the soldiers and horses outside the city are only known to you and Qin Zongrong. This morning, there will be a siege of the green battalion, and Qin Zongrong will enter the city from the southβonly you can count these. Presumably, the Cai family general who sealed the city gate is also your person? β
"Hou Ye's eyes are like torches, and the old man admires them."
"I once thought it couldn't be you, and I invited Yao Wenhua to try it. Because, I can't figure it out...... The city gates are sealed, and in the chaos of the battle, you yourself will not be able to escape. The king laughed and said, "Why do you want to do this?" β
"Master Hou really can't figure it out?"
Wang smiled: "You said you wanted to talk in private, and I figured it out a little bit." You took Yao Wenhua away because it had something to do with what we talked about last night? β
Dong Jihe sighed and said slowly: "Not bad." β
"You're not a slave builder." Wang Xiao asked, "Who are you?" β
"Whose person am I?"
Dong Jihe didn't dare to turn his head to look at Qin Chengye, smacked his lips, and sighed: "It's been thirty years, when I entered Beijing to participate in the examination, I won the first place and the first, but the first emperor of the Jinluan Palace didn't like my advice, and I was only recorded as the top three." I was indignant in my heart, so I resigned and came to Liaodong. But in fact, it was by will...... At that time, His Majesty was still in the palace, and he talked freely with me about state affairs, and he was full of ambitions. When you meet me as a countryman, I will repay you with a countryman. I came to Liaodong to defend the land for Sheji, and to show His Majesty these soldiers. β
"That's thirty years. In thirty years, all people and things have changed. Dong Jihe sighed: "The general stationed in Ma Changhe also began to seek a way back, and I tried him again and again whether to join the slaves, and the answer became more and more vague...... And you, what you have done in the capital, the heart of speculation has been revealed. When asked, it was ......"
Wang Xiao sneered: "So you want me and Qin Chengye to die, two 'rebels', this is what you said about defending the land for the society?" β
"My plan is to test you and the Great Shuai, if you are loyal to the Chu Dynasty. I will do my best to assist you in defending Liaodong. Unfortunately, you are not. Dong Jihe shook his head and said, "The way out of Guan Ning Tieqi, you said it very clearly. Either fight to the death with Jiannu, or surrender to the past, turn the horse's head and slaughter the Central Plains. But as long as Qin Shuai dies today, according to Qin Shanhu's temperament, he will never surrender with the Qin family, and will only fight to the death with Jiannu for the sake of his father's revenge. In addition, Cai Tongyu has repeatedly had the intention of surrendering slaves, and he happened to be removed by the hand of Qinshan Lake. β
Wang Xiao sneered.
Dong Jihe said slowly: "I'm getting old with Dashuai, and there's not much we can do." Qinshan Lake has been on the battlefield for a long time, and there are no other crooked thoughts, which can be a barrier in eastern Liaodong. As for you, you are scheming, and I cannot let you continue to incite and bewitch them. β
There is such a thing in the world, Wang Xiao only thinks it is extremely ridiculous.
The funny thing is that he came to Liaodong for the same purpose as Dong Jihe - to let Guanning Tieqi fight to the death with Jiannu.
As a result, Dong Jihe wants to kill himself?
What's even more ridiculous is that he didn't have the so-called 'heart of disobedience', it was Dong Jihe's coercion and temptation little by little that led him to admit that he wanted to usurp Chu.
It's like a woman who keeps looking for other women to test her husband until he really cheats......
This is what his father and his ministers have been doing year after year? Constant suspicion, eternal fear of betrayal.
How stupid, how pathetic?!
but
Are you really faithful? Is Qin Chengye really loyal? Did Father and Dong Jihe really guess wrong?
Wang Xiao closed his eyes, thinking of the two brothers in the carriage that night talking about 'the business of the king', and thinking of Qin Chengye's sentence 'sitting in the world together'.
Right and wrong, I can't tell.
In this chaotic world, there is a conflict of interest between the monarch and the general, and there is a huge trust gap between people. Once all the seemingly mild appearances are revealed, they are all layers of unscrupulous human hearts.
Then ...... Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, each has its own position.
Wang Xiao raised his hand at Dong Jihe and scolded: "Confucian! It's in the hands of a fool like you! The soldiers are fighting in front, and you shrink back to calculate people's hearts, not asking how to protect the people of the mountains and rivers, but only calculating the gains and losses for the emperor. Is this world the emperor alone or the world of all the people? Tell you, if I really want to rebel, you will force you to rebel! β
Dong Jihe said: "Heaven and earth are constant, monarchs and ministers." The chaos of the world was caused by you people! Tang Zhongyuan, Zhang Xianzhong and others caused chaos in the world, under the banner of rescuing the people from fire and water. Zheng Yuanhua was disobedient, thinking that only he could save the people of the Chu Dynasty from hanging upside down...... Hou Ye and Qin Shuai, what is the difference between you and them? Relying on some so-called 'hearts to help the world', they go against the rules of the monarch and ministers and turn the society upside down! After all, isn't it for one's own selfish desires? β
"You Wang Xiao, you plan to let Tang rebel enter Beijing, yes or no?! You, Qin Chengye, plan to connive at Guan Ningtie's entry into the Guan, yes or no?! The two of you want to make meritorious deeds, saying that they want to calm the troubled times and secure the country. How many people will die at the hands of the two of you?! Even talking about protecting the people of mountains and rivers? β
Wang smiled and said, "Then what can you do?!" Kill us, and then, what do you keep? β
"At least I followed the way of the sage, followed the morality of my Chu Dynasty, and kept the word 'loyalty'! All men are mortal? Keep Dan in mind! β
"Fart!" Wang Xiao suddenly pointed at Dong Jihe's nose and scolded: "Loyalty? You're doing it for your own desires! β
"You are for your own 'clear conscience,' for you to live up to the king's trust, and for you to read the books of the sages in a wasted time...... What you think in your heart and what you do in your hands are all your ignorant and narrow-minded selfish desires! β
Dong Jihe's face changed, and he pointed at Wang and smiled: "What about you?" According to you, whose ambitions and ambitions are not selfish? As the son-in-law of heaven, you are honored by the Marquis. Covets the upper position, and is lustful. Unfaithful to the minister, unfilial piety to the son. What you do is out of public interest? Rebellious Thieves ......"
"Enough!" Qin Chengye shouted.
Dong Jihe turned his head to look, and saw that Qin Chengye seemed to be aging in an instant, and his old eyes were full of sadness and confusion.
"It's been thirty years, and my hair is gray, enough is enough......"
Thirty years of supporting each other, life and death together, in the end it is all fake.
Dong Jihe can argue with Wang Xiao confidently, but in the face of such a look, he has nothing to say for a while.
In this life, I asked myself if I was worthy of the Chu Dynasty and Your Majesty, but I was sorry for Qin Chengye......
A sense of powerlessness came up, Dong Jihe fell to the ground, and muttered: "So far, what's the benefit of talking more...... Kill me. β
Qin Chengye didn't say anything more, and reached out to lift the knife......
~~
Wang Xiao exhaled and looked at it coldly.
In this accident, Qin Xiaozhu was seriously injured, and more than 120 riders died to protect themselves...... He didn't intend to let Dong Jihe go.
If Qin Chengye wants to do it, let's do it.
Oh, Prime Minister Bai still knows how to press the sword......
