Left House.

In order to handle the marriage between Zuo Mingxin and Qin Xuance, Zuo Fu has been very busy these days.

But for these things in the backyard, Zuo Jinglun doesn't care too much.

He was sitting in the study with Song Li, sending someone to investigate the movements of Xicheng Street at all times......

"Wang Xiao's move is biased, I really didn't expect it." Song Li groaned: "But I am not surprised that he broke He Liangyuan's situation." ”

"The old man thought of it, but the old man didn't have the courage to do such a thing." Zuo Jinglun said: "As for He Liangyuan...... Zheng Yuanhua was too strong, causing He Liangyuan to be suppressed in the Hanlin Academy for too long, and his vision could not keep up. Once in power, it is full of loopholes. Repentance of marrying into his family. ”

"He can't let go of the sour aura on his body." Song Li said: "Now that Wang Xiao has been stripped of his face, he may be able to grow." ”

"I haven't grown for decades, what's the use of growing up in the ground?" Zuo Jinglun shook his head and said, "We taught him to encircle and suppress Wang Xiao by the water master of Tiaojin Town, what about him?" Considering fame and fear, he looked for North Korean fools to do this. ”

Song Li smiled.

- The water master of Tiaojin Town may not be able to kill Wang Xiao, and he came up with this idea on his side, just to let the two tigers fight. He Liangyuan saw it, he didn't want to fall into the handle, and wanted to hide in the shadows.

A leaf falls to know the autumn of the world, just looking at this one thing, you can know the style of the officials of the entire Chu Dynasty. Too many mutual calculations and concerns, and the result is nothing.

Thinking of this, Song Li couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Your Majesty is good at power and balance, this is the way of the emperor who governs the world, but it is difficult to control the troubled times." ”

In the past, such things could not be said. At this time, the two glanced at each other, and they both felt the declining authority of Emperor Yanguang.

Zuo Jinglun sighed: "The troubled times are coming, and there must be a domineering lord...... How do you look at the king? ”

"I'm still young, and I can't tell the difference." Song Li said: "But when it comes to His Royal Highness, you can't avoid Wang Xiao." ”

"Fingering the military power, getting close to the king of Qi, inviting merit and profit, the king laughs at this son and has a bad heart, and he must not be guarded against."

"Today he killed the North Korean envoy, and His Majesty will not deal with him?"

"Theoretically, it must be disposed of." Zuo Jinglun twisted his beard and muttered, "But how to deal with it?" In order to give an explanation to the small country of North Korea, dispose of the horses who have just made merits but have no reward. Isn't it just to give him an upright reason to rebel? Not advisable. Wang Xiao's words before killing Jin Xinhao were for His Majesty, and even more so for the people of the world. ”

Speaking of this, the two of them were a little helpless.

After being silent for a while, Song Li sighed: "The boss is about to become the first assistant, and the King of Qi is only one step away from you." should have let go and turned the tide...... How good it would have been if there had been no Wang Xiao. ”

"Shousuke? His Majesty meant to let the old man temporarily act as the first assistant and wait for Lu Kunshan to come back with an empty seat. ”

"How can that be?" Song Li said: "Treat state affairs as child's play. ”

"Your Majesty is a little depressed now, isn't it child's play?"

The next moment, Tongchuan slammed into the door.

"Sir...... Lu Zhengchu was assassinated! ”

"What?!"

"Lu Zhengchu was assassinated by Jiannu Xizuo......"

Zuo Jinglun was stunned, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and it shattered to the ground with a bang.

Song Li couldn't help but think: Now the position of the first assistant is stable!

Long.

"Lu Kunshan!"

Suddenly, Zuo Jinglun kicked the case, and the cup and plate shattered to the ground.

"Lu Kunshan...... Old stuff! How dare you do that...... Why do you ......?"

Song Li was stunned, and when he looked at it, he saw that Zuo Jinglun's eyes were red, as if he was sad and angry, but he didn't see any joy at all.

"Boss." Song Li said in a low voice: "It's a good thing that Lu Kunshan is dead. ”

Zuo Jinglun was stunned, and said to himself: "Why are you? Why can you let Jiannu Xiaozuo kill you? The merits and demerits of our old man's life are still inconclusive, how dare you escape first? ”

"Hahaha, Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble and not usurped. Xiang Zhi died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life? You, Lu Kunshan, clearly know that this great Chu society is in danger, and you can't wait to make a conclusion on your coffin! ”

"In the future, you will be a good minister and a martyr. I am a fool who has lost my country, and I will be ridiculed forever. Why ......?"

When Zuo Jinglun said this, two lines of old tears kept flowing in his old eyes, stained with his gray beard, and he looked very embarrassed and pitiful.

"I read hard in the cold window, the article takes fame, the sea rises and falls, it is twilight in a blink of an eye, and my life is over. We all know in our hearts that this great Chu society can't hold it, and it can't be kept! Over the years, you and I have shown what we have learned in our chests and done our best with our lives...... Now that you are complete, your name Lu Zhengchu and my Zuo Jinglun's name have parted ways. Since then, it has been a long road, and I will bear the accusation of Yongchen through the ages. ”

Song Li hurriedly persuaded: "Boss, there is no need to ......"

Zuo Jinglun looked up as if he had lost his mind, and chuckled: "Haha, sixty years of Shaohua have been exhausted, who will comment on the merits and demerits of this life?" ”

He staggered and stumbled out the door.

Song Li stood up, looked at Zuo Jinglun's back, and was silent for a long time.

It turned out that the old man also knew that the society of the Chu Dynasty could not be defended.

Over the years, the two have sat and talked about each other, and they have always talked about how to turn the tide. Calculate this person and calculate that person, as if you can save the Chu Dynasty by stepping on their position.

In fact, Song Li knew that it was the same to do it.

It's like a dying person, who can't be saved by any medicine.

All this is just a lie to myself, but I am just used to being busy like this......

~~

Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Yanguang sat there, listening to Du Zhenghe's whispered report.

"Wang Xiao said that if he had different intentions, he would have followed Zheng Yuanhua to Jiangnan for a plot." Du Zhenghe said in a low voice.

"Really?" Emperor Yanguang raised his eyes and asked, "Did you accept the food he gave you?" ”

Du Zhenghe took a deep breath and became a little desperate.

It is indeed difficult to gain His Majesty's full trust.

"The last general has taken it."

"Good." Emperor Yanguang patted the table lightly, and said with interest: "Go down." ”

Seeing Du Zhenghe retreat carefully step by step, the emperor on the dragon chair rubbed his head.

There are some things that only those who are in their position can really understand.

Things have developed to this point, does Wang Xiao have any different intentions, Du Zhenghe is not trustworthy...... It doesn't matter anymore.

Because Wang Xiao's practice has long made the court lose its reverence for the emperor.

It's not about trust, it's not about loyalty. Tens of thousands of officials in the court, each and every move of each one of them is causing irreparable and established effects on the emperor, which cannot be controlled by manpower.

This kind of situation like being on the verge of an abyss can only be perceived by Emperor Yanguang alone.

Even if the king of Qi has no dissenting intentions, Wang Xiao must push him to the throne; Even if Wang Xiao has no dissenting intentions, others will push him; Even if Du Zhenghe is only loyal to the emperor, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion know who is stronger......

The world is accustomed to seeing the wind steer. Now that the wind direction has changed, how can manpower push the boat?

Emperor Yanguang closed his eyes, as if he saw Zhou Yan wearing a dragon robe and weeping to himself: "Father, I don't want to be like this, you forced me!" ”

That's it, anyway, this is how I survived this life.

Emperor Yanguang didn't bother to think about it anymore, he didn't want to approve it again at this time, so he planned to go to Chen Yuanyuan to eat some sweets together.

Wang Yu, the secretary of Honglu Temple, suddenly asked to see him.

Emperor Yanguang didn't want to see it, but he still habitually said: "Yes." ”

"Your Majesty, something is wrong! The king of the horses laughed and killed the Korean envoy. ”

When it comes to North Korea, Emperor Yeonguang is annoying.

- The old man of the Korean lord Li Kui will cry all day long. While demoting Jiannu, he sent a monk to explain to him secretly, and at the same time sent an envoy to question him...... No one dares to offend the wretch, and they are better off than me. Now he's fucking here to give me trouble.

As soon as he heard the report, Emperor Yanguang understood the reason and thought clearly about the pros and cons.

But he couldn't analyze it with others, so he said lightly: "Kill it, kill it." ”

"Your Majesty, the two countries have not yet been at war, and Wang Xiao's move ......"

"Do I have to explain to you what I do?!" Emperor Yanguang picked up a book and threw it on the case, and said, "Go, write a letter to Li Liang, and ask him to hand over the Dongjiang Islands." If you don't know how to write, go and ask Lu Aiqing, don't bother me again. ”

Suddenly, a small yellow door broke in, and because he ran too quickly, he fell on the temple.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong! Lord Lu died......"
