Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Trap
When the Son of Heaven arrived at Cai's Mansion, he wanted to be quiet, but he met the disgusting Yi Zhilin.
"General Cai, you don't express your sorrow inside, what are you wandering around outside?"
As soon as they arrived, the usual confrontation between the two brothers officially began.
Actually, it's not because Yi Zhixing deliberately provoked, but he saw a dross at a glance, he was upset and depressed, and he didn't vomit unpleasantly.
Yi Zhilin immediately made a move, and immediately replied respectfully but without sneering: "Since you have come to greet our good monarch of the Yin Dynasty, Your Majesty, you are diligent for the people, diligent in government, love your father and brother, how dare the ministers not come to greet you in person?" If I neglect you today, if you recklessly criticize your ministers in the future, will you not have a new lie? ”
"Then thank you General Cai Xiao for thinking about me, I am indeed the king of your mouth, so I don't want to be too humble."
After that, Yi Zhixing immediately raised a trace of unruly rebelliousness, and his pupils were even more sneering than Yi Zhilin, he directly ignored the unkindness of welcoming people, but calmly took it.
Yi Zhilin thought that his sarcastic words could slightly arouse the anger of the Son of Heaven, but to the surprise of people, Yi Zhixing was even more brazen than he imagined, he didn't care about the irony of the people in front of him, and he accepted it all.
Suddenly, Yi Zhilin's expression, which was still very self-esteemed, was instantly mixed with some defeated ingredients, and looking at it, the angle of the Son of Heaven's lips was even more significant.
"The courtiers have seen Your Majesty."
At this moment, a voice sounded, and when she looked sideways, it turned out to be Yi Zhilin's wife, Wu Zhiling, at this time she was supported by others, and the fetal belly was becoming more and more obvious.
"The general's wife doesn't have to be polite, taking good care of herself is the most important thing."
The Son of Heaven said without being salty, and his eyes had glanced faintly at this person's pregnant belly.
"Zhiling, why are you here? Now that you're pregnant, don't you have to move around? What if I hurt myself? You've always bothered me. ”
When he saw his wife arrive, he was full of anxiety and instantly climbed above Yi Zhilin's eyebrows, but when he saw him holding the woman from the hands of his subordinates, his cheeky appearance was undoubtedly mixed with rich true feelings.
"Husband, don't worry, Zhiling's body is fine, she always has to come out to breathe."
Wu Zhiling looked at the person in front of him gently, and the voice that was still full of respect for the Son of Heaven suddenly became tender like water, but the current scene of strong affection made the Son of Heaven who was free from it uncomfortable, and somehow, he was extremely disgusted with seeing such a sticky occasion with his own eyes, and always felt that he was out of place here, and he was inexplicably excluded from this atmosphere.
Therefore, the next moment, the Son of Heaven entered the inner hall without saying a word, and completely removed his eyes. Out of sight is pure, lest it give birth to superfluous useless emotions.
As soon as he arrived at the cabinet, the Son of Heaven finally no longer felt that he was alone, and many mourners came to salute and greet him.
After a long time, the figure of the prime minister immediately brushed away the little kindness and patience left in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, obviously, in the heart of the Son of Heaven, the face of the prime minister was as disgusting and discardable as Yi Zhilin.
"Your Majesty, you are here too, and the minister thought that you would not come here."
Nowadays, Wu Huai's attitude towards Yi Zhixing is becoming more and more redundant and has some provocative meanings, which makes Yi Zhixing itself very dissatisfied.
"Since I am the son of heaven of a country, and the courtiers have passed away, I naturally have to come to the mourning day, so why not come? The prime minister is really good at laughing. ”
The cold posture had already been revealed from the slightly treacherous voice, Yi Zhixing always stared at the person in front of him, and his vicious eyes continued to wander around him.
"Naturally, this is the case, but General Cai's death is not exactly ...... you"
Wanting to speak, Wu Huai shook his head, and then lowered his head again, this pretentious posture was clearly saying that the Son of Heaven had nothing to do with this matter, and as a murderer, how could he be embarrassed to be cheeky and personally arrive at the scene today?
Wu Huai was trying to arouse the anger of the Son of Heaven this time, but Yi Zhixing did not take the bait, looking at the words and deeds of the prime minister, the Son of Heaven just chuckled, and had to admit that what Mo Hongfeng said at the beginning was extremely correct, this Wu Huai is a master who is good at yin and yang weirdness, but he is like a market girl.
"Huh? What the prime minister said just now, I accidentally lost my mind, and I didn't fully listen to it, and I hope you can repeat it again, Prime Minister. ”
Yi Zhixing's acting skills are superb, and what appears on his face at this time is a real suspicion, as if he really didn't hear it clearly, with an innocent appearance, no one can tell the truth from the false.
Seeing this, the prime minister's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
It's been a long time.
"Chen Shicai didn't say anything, Your Majesty is afraid that he will hear it."
After speaking, he immediately showed a decent smile, and Yi Zhixing also instantly gave him a warm face, the confrontation between the two was tepid, but it was an undercurrent.
Just as Yi Zhixing was about to leave this boring confrontation behind and try to continue walking inside, the prime minister opened his mouth again.
"Wait, Your Majesty."
Yi Zhixing paused when he was steep, and then threw a horizontal glance.
"What? What else does the prime minister have to say? ”
"I don't dare to see the teaching, the minister just dares to ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty, when will you be willing to let General Cai Xiao lead everyone to fight? In the end, the military power handed over to the late Cai Lao is now in the hands of General Cai Xiao, even if Your Majesty refuses to let him into Xinjiang, General Cai Xiao will one day act without authorization, after all, this is his military power, Son of Heaven, you are just a person who gives orders to make his behavior more decent. ”
Wu Huai's rhetoric became more and more wanton, as if he recognized that Yi Zhixing would not completely tear off the mask today, but at the same time, he also hoped that he could reveal his true face at this moment, so that the people present could see the actual virtue of this so-called good king.
At this moment, Yan Qi on the side of the Son of Heaven could clearly perceive that his master's face was gradually cracking, and the vicious deeds in it would leak out, and Yi Zhixing was indeed dissatisfied with the prime minister's three provocations.
In the past, it was just a matter of being discussed in private, but now this Wu Huai actually questioned the power of the Son of Heaven in person, how can this be tolerated by Yi Zhixing?
What does the prime minister mean by this? Is it forcing me to give General Cai Xiao the authority to lead the battle? In that case, it would be better for you to inherit the throne, so that you would no longer wait for me to give orders, and wouldn't it be more convenient for you to give orders yourself? ”
"How dare the minister vainly try to seize the Yin family's country! Your Majesty, you are too exalted. The minister is just fighting for the last shred of face for you, once General Cai Xiao is ready to lead his troops to the battlefield on his own, how should the Son of Heaven deal with himself when he arrives? Didn't you tell the whole world to see your jokes? The minister's hard work, Your Majesty doesn't know, now there are few people in the court who dare to say the truth like the minister. ”
Wu Huai's provocation is very strong, and now that the general is rushing to the battlefield, Yi Zhixing's only reliance is no longer there, and he has no reason to be too afraid of the people in front of him. To tell the truth, the Son of Heaven has very little military power in his hands, and I am afraid that it is extremely difficult to resist Yi Zhilin, who not only controls a lot of military power but also has a strong family power, if Mo Hongfeng has an accident one day, Yi Zhixing will also completely fall.
Hearing the Prime Minister's words, it was none other than that his personality was being brutally abused, and his shameful emotions could no longer be suppressed, and the situation rose violently, seeing that Yi Zhixing was about to be angry on the spot in front of everyone, Yan Qi secretly patted the back of the Son of Heaven at this moment.
Finally, the slightly trembling body had a tendency to stagnate, Yi Zhixing gritted his teeth, although he did not show his true colors, but the green tendons of his body burst densely on the back of his hand.
"Since the prime minister wants General Cai Xiao to go to the battlefield so much, then I will satisfy you, it just so happens that Longdi has often been invaded by rogues in recent years, and now it is really difficult for me to find a more suitable candidate than General Cai Xiao in the court, so I will hand it over to General Cai Xiao to lead the troops to garrison and discuss."
Longdi, is the most narrow area of the Yin country, here is not only the yellow sand all the year round, but also the barren land that the generals avoid like snakes and scorpions, once set foot here, not only is it extremely difficult to receive merits, and even may die to stay on this territory, leading troops to be stationed here, it is equivalent to ruining their official career.
And Yi Zhixing's intentions couldn't be more obvious, he just wanted Yi Zhilin to completely disappear from the government and the opposition, as long as he was in power for a day, this person's career would not want to soar.
When the words fell, the faces of the two sides were exchanged with each other, the prime minister's face was stained with contempt and anger, and the ridicule returned to the bottom of Yi Zhixing's eyes.
"Your Majesty, are you not afraid that the ministers will speculate on your little-known dangers?"
"Oh? Is it? ”
Yi Zhixing raised his eyebrows and continued: "Thank you Prime Minister for reminding me, then I will arrange for General Cai Xiao to go to Loudi, compared to Nalongdi, Loudi is really much easier." ”
The corners of the Son of Heaven's lips are hooked, although he has not exposed the lineup in front of everyone, but today he can be regarded as completely tearing off the mask under the nose of the prime minister, his sudden evil really frightened Wu Huai, even if he has repeatedly tried to think about the day when the Son of Heaven reveals the fox's tail, but after truly appreciating his real face, this yin and yang strange master still palpitates for a moment.
In fact, there is not much difference between Loudi and Longdi, both of which are desperate situations that force the career of a good man to the idea, but Loudi is not very narrow compared to Longdi, so it is indeed much better in reputation.
"Okay, I'm tired today, my mind will end here, and I'll have to trouble the Prime Minister to tell General Cai Xiao in person, I have just appointed General Cai Xiao to lead troops to the building to garrison, if you don't comply, you will be punished for the crime of resisting the king."
After that, a contemptuous glance crossed the prime minister's ugly face, but he saw the Son of Heaven walking away, and Wu Huai's eyes with a pair of surprised and dangerous cold also followed the figure of the Son of Heaven.
At the same time, Yi Zhilin and his wife Wu Zhiling arrived at the place where the Son of Heaven was standing, and the three of them looked at the back of the Son of Heaven and gradually moved away, Wu Zhiling's eyes were mixed with a touch of weight that was almost hateful, and this gaze always looked in the direction of the Son of Heaven's disappearance, but Yi Zhilin and Cheng exchanged meaningful glances, and their lips seemed to rise slightly.
"Father-in-law, how is it, the emperor can allow it?"
"Naturally, it's allowed, aren't you still at ease with your father-in-law's work? If you don't provoke his anger, this cunning fox will be difficult to take the bait, and maybe he will be suspicious of our intentions, but fortunately he doesn't care about your temperament and stool, and goes down that wrong road. But virtuous son-in-law, everything in the future can only rely on yourself, remember to be cautious, the field is not a child's play, and it is not possible to endanger your life if you are not careful. ”
"Father-in-law, don't worry, I won't disappoint you. After taking this side road, I must win a big victory, and since I go to that building, I will not break Loulan and never return it. ”
