Chapter 185: Important and Unimportant Things
Chang Anjun, Zhao Qiyue.
Zhao Kuo remembered him, the shy child who didn't dare to speak loudly, but would such a person really commit such an atrocity? Or, was he just being used by Zhao Bao? Perhaps sensing Zhao Kuo's confusion, Wei Wuji shook his head helplessly, and pulled him into the carriage, which drove in the direction of the palace, Wei Wuji squinted his eyes and said, "Chang'anjun is not what you see. ”
"I've asked about him."
He is the Queen Mother's favorite child, no matter what kind of mistakes he makes, the Queen Mother will protect him, which makes him gradually become cruel and tyrannical, at first, he just beat his playmates and snatched their toys, because no one dared to reprimand, making him more and more excessive, Handan Ling Zhaoli's eldest son, who was obese, was bullied by him, pushed into the Yachi, and died. Because there was no proof, he still escaped. ”
"He loved to ride horses the most, and once killed people, and the Queen Mother personally mourned these people, sending money and livestock to cover up his crimes."
"I heard that he rushed to the country of Qi and coaxed a young noble woman and raped her. Lewd... He was seriously injured by the Qi people.."
"Since then, he has become shy, and he is no longer as arrogant as before, but these days, he has gradually regained his nature, and has begun to ride his horse in Handan again, and I have heard that because the guards of the city stopped him, he was whipped twenty times, and he could not get up..."
Wei Wuji said this, and said with some disdain: "There are no people in Zhao who are familiar with him who love him... Even Pingyuan-kun also wanted to kill him. ”
"Pingyuanjun has a good horse, people can't approach, Chang'anjun wants to ride it to play, but the good horse refuses, Chang'anjun sent someone to cut off the four legs of the good horse... Pingyuan Jun was furious and wanted to kill him with a sword, but the Queen Mother reprimanded Pingyuan Jun: At the beginning, a wild man ate Qin Mugong's horse, Qin Mugong said: You can't kill people because of livestock, and rewarded them with fine wine to let them continue to eat, and then these wild people helped Qin Mugong when he was in the most danger. ”
She said: Now that you are closer to the Jews than Qin Mugong and the savages, and your good horse has only broken its leg, how can you kill people because of livestock? If you can forgive my child's sins, he may not repay you like a savage. ”
"Although Pingyuan Jun was angry, he couldn't help it, and since then, he has never said a word to this Yuzi."
The more Zhao Kuo listened, the more angry he became, such a person, he was not as good as a livestock! He also understood in his heart that this Chang'anjun was a spoiled bear child, and a bear child like this would cause more and more harm to society when he grew up, and this was the demon who was overly doting. I don't know good and evil, and I think that there will always be someone behind my back to support me, so I become lawless.
Whether in the past, or in the future, such things never stop.
"Ma Fu-kun... Shangjun only has such a brother, it is impossible to persuade Shangjun to kill him, but he can let Shangjun demote him to a concubine, and then Si Kou will judge him...", Wei Wuji reminded, he said seriously: "You must not make a rude move, in the palace, please help me to complete this matter." Zhao Kuo nodded, and it could be seen that Wei Wuji already had a way to deal with him.
The two rushed to the palace, and when the samurai saw the arrival of the minister of state and Ma Fujun, they naturally did not dare to be embarrassed, and hurriedly walked in to pray, but after a while, some samurai invited them into the palace. King Zhao greeted the two great sages in the main hall, and enthusiastically asked them to sit down, after entering the palace, Wei Wuji didn't say anything more, that haggard appearance, if Zhao Kuo had just seen him tell about Chang'anjun alive, I was afraid that he would believe it!
King Zhao looked at Wei Wuji with some concern and said, "Your serious injury hasn't healed yet, why did you get up?" ”
"Shangjun, Ma Fujun said: Those who govern the country must bend their bodies and exert their strength until they die. Now that I am grateful for your kindness and assist you in governing the Zhao Kingdom, how can I stop contributing my energy because I am injured? Wei Wuji said seriously, King Zhao's eyes widened, he was really a little moved, he hurriedly walked down, looked at his two great sages, and said movingly: "Zhao has Ma Fujun and Xinling Jun, what else can the widow worry about?" ”
Wei Wuji said seriously: "It is precisely because of a wise king like you that there can be talents like me and Ma Fujun, there is never a shortage of talents, what is lacking is only to discover talents and reuse their kings..."
Wei Wuji and King Zhao entered the mode of touting each other, Wei Wuji did not mention the matter of Chang'an Jun, Zhao Kuo just looked at Wei Wuji, this clan of Wei State, in Zhao State, can be regarded as doing his best, although it cannot reach the level of death, but this is enough to be admired.
Zhao Kuo once asked Wei Wuji very confusedly, and he said: Why do you try your best to implement the law change, and want to make Zhao strong and prosperous?
Wei Wuji replied with a smile: I want to drink with you.
Zhao Kuo said: I can drink with you at any time.
Wei Wuji said with a smile: Drinking is to make your mood more pleasant, when you drink, you still think about the suffering of the people of Zhao Kingdom, thinking about the disasters in the world, and you have never been happy to drink with me, I want to help you solve these things that annoy you, and then drink with you wholeheartedly.
To tell the truth, Zhao Kuo is really moved, the friendship of this era is pure, it can be sacrificed, Zhao Kuo is here, there are many friends, he firmly believes that these friends can stand up for him to block arrows, because Zhao Kuo will also be the same.
This hero of the Wei State, whether it is leading troops to fight, or governing the country, is a contemporary leader, after he served as the minister of Zhao State, he reused Yu Qing, Lou Slow and others, while rectifying the chaos caused by the rule of officials, but also allowed Zhao State to get a bumper harvest, he recalculated the arable land in various places, reduced unreasonable taxes, released a large number of convicts who were convicted for no reason, and promoted many talents from the bottom...
He is very bold and has brains, he wanted to show his skills in the Wei State, but because of his brother's jealousy, he could only drink all day long, and the wine did not extinguish the ambition in his heart, he is now in the Zhao State, perhaps he also wants to prove his talent to the world. He is not a child of the clan who can only drink, he is a peerless noble son who is both civil and military!
King Zhao and Wei Wuji can be said to have a very happy conversation, the two chatted more and more harmoniously, at this time, Wei Wuji suddenly covered his heart, and said bitterly: "It's just that in Handan, there are still people who want to kill your virtuous minister...", King Zhao said helplessly: "Please rest assured, the widow will never allow others to assassinate you again." Wei Wuji looked at King Zhao and said seriously: "Yesterday, Dong Chengzi and Lou Shu were assassinated, if it weren't for Ma Fujun's disciple who happened to be there, I'm afraid that Dong Chengzi would have been killed." ”
"What?!" , King Zhao jumped up violently, his face turned red again, he just said that he would not allow such a thing to happen again... He was slapped hard in the face, how could King Zhao endure it, he said angrily: "What the hell is going on? Wei Wuji told the assassination of the two in detail, and asked Zhao Kuo from time to time, and Zhao Kuo also told what he had heard.
"The minister sent someone to investigate, and the people in the restaurant said: I saw Chang Anjun drinking with these assassins."
King Zhao's body trembled, and the whole person slowly sat down, like a deflated ball, slumped on the top position, lowered his head, his face was cloudy, and he just muttered his brother's name, suddenly, he raised his head, looked at Xin Lingjun, and asked, "Is this true?" Xinlingjun nodded and said seriously: "I'm not lying, as for Chang'anjun's festival with them... Some time ago, Chang'an Jun hurt people on horseback, you should know it. ”
King Zhao took a deep breath, then looked at the warrior in the distance, and said to him, "Let Chang'anjun come over." ”
The atmosphere was suddenly a little silent, Wei Wuji lowered his head, coughed from time to time, and did not speak, Zhao Kuo did not speak because of Wei Wuji's instructions, everyone waited for a long time, and just when King Zhao couldn't help but want to send someone again, someone finally walked into the palace. Chang Anjun was already a little drunk, his face was flushed, and his whole body exuded a strong smell of wine, and he staggered to King Zhao.
Wei Wuji sniffed the smell of wine in the air and couldn't help but swallow.
Zhao Kuo looked at him indifferently, Chang Anjun smirked, bowed towards King Zhao, and said, "I didn't know that you wanted to see me, please forgive me for my rudeness." King Zhao just glared at him and asked angrily: "Did you send someone to assassinate Dong Chengzi and Lou Xuan?!" Chang Anjun shuddered, and suddenly the wine woke up, he looked at King Zhao blankly, hurriedly shook his head, and said, "Why do you say that?" How could I do such a thing! ”
"They punished you for hurting your horse before, and it wasn't long before they were confronted by the Assassins!" , King Zhao said angrily.
"What does that have to do with me?! There are a lot of people in Handan who have offended me? Do they blame me for their deaths?! Chang Anjun was also angry, he straightened his neck, and asked menacingly, he almost wanted to jump up, this look is really King Zhao's own brother, that's right. Before King Zhao could speak, Zhao Kuo on the side opened his mouth and said, "The people in the restaurant, I saw you drinking with those assassins. ”
Chang Anjun was even more angry, and he said: "I always thought that you were a benevolent, righteous and virtuous person, why did you come to frame me?" After I came to Handan, everyone wanted to invite me to drink, did anyone see me ordering them to assassinate? Did anyone hear that I asked them to kill Dong Chengzi? He was a little speechless, his expression didn't look fake, seeing him like this, King Zhao gradually became a little confused.
He asked, "Didn't you send someone to do it?" ”
"It's not!"
"What I want to say, if it was really you who did it, you had better admit that the widow can exonerate you from the crime, otherwise, if the widow finds evidence, the widow will not care about brotherhood!"
"This wasn't what I did, you just wanted to kill me? Yes? Because Mother loves me and not you? Come, come, my head is here, you cut it off! Chang Anjun walked in front of King Zhao in a few steps, stretched his head directly in front of him, and shouted through gritted teeth. King Zhao pushed his head away and said to the warriors on the left and right, "Arrest him!" ”
Several samurai rushed forward and grabbed Chang Anjun from behind.
Chang Anjun roared angrily: "Just because I drink with others, you will kill me!" Okay, kill me! I went to my mother and told her that you sent me! ”
King Zhao was stunned, and pointed at Chang'anjun in front of him with a trembling hand, but he couldn't speak, Wei Wuji coughed and said: "Chang'anjun lost his etiquette in front of the king, and soon after returning to Handan, he did a lot of bad things that can demote him to a concubine. King Zhao thought for a moment, then nodded, and then looked at Chang'an Jun, and was about to speak, when he heard someone in the distance say: "Why do you want to be demoted to a concubine?" ”
King Zhao raised his head, but the person who came was Zhao Bao, the king of Pingyang, Zhao Bao frowned, and led a group of Zhao clans into the palace. Wei Wuji's face became a little unkind, and when he saw Zhao Bao walking in, Chang Anjun cried and shouted, "Uncle! The thief harmed me! Zhao Bao glanced at him, then looked at the superior King Zhao, bowed down to him and saluted, facing the elders, King Zhao naturally did not dare to be rude, and hurriedly got up to return the salute.
"Shangjun, because of what crime, you want to demote Chang'anjun to a concubine?"
"Because he has ties to the Assassins."
"Oh?" , Zhao Bao smiled, and said: "Then Ma Fujun has a connection with King Qin, should he also be demoted to a concubine?" Zhao Bao asked, King Zhao was stunned for a moment, did not speak again, Zhao Bao looked at Wei Wuji, and said calmly: "If Xinlingjun wants to dispose of me, you don't have to go through Chang'anjun, Chang'anjun is young, what kind of crime should be framed like you?" ”
"After he arrived in Handan, he repeatedly set his horse and injured people, this is what I framed him?"
"But he's already accepted the punishment and made reparations, hasn't he?"
Zhao Bao looked at King Zhao again, and he said seriously: "If the Emperor wants to punish Chang'anjun for something unreasonable, then please allow me to sit together, I, as Chang'anjun's uncle, should also be punished, please demote all the people in the clan to concubines." ”
King Zhao couldn't speak anymore, Zhao Kuo stood up and said seriously: "The dozen or so people who received compensation from Chang'anjun are all dead. Zhao Wang was stunned for a moment, waved his hand, and said: "Let's still talk about Dong Chengzi's assassination, these unimportant things, there is no need to talk about them....."
"Doesn't it matter?"
Zhao Kuo raised his head and laughed.
