XLV. Honesty
"See the lord!"
In Zhu Wu's study, the military generals gathered together. The atmosphere was a little more solemn than usual, and there were well-informed people who roughly knew what happened yesterday.
However, looking at King Han's current expression, I don't know if it was moistened by the rain and dew last night, or what. Many old ministers saw the long-lost easy-going on Zhu Wu's face.
Yes, Zhu Wu has changed. After he got rid of it, he became more and more anxious to speak, more and more specialized, and even a little less like to delegate power.
Some people noticed that Zhu Wu's waist was replaced with a knife today.
"Sit down!" Zhu Wu said with a smile, and ordered the guards again, "Change them into chairs in the future, and they can lean back when they are tired." โ
"Thank you, lord!"
Zhu Wuxiao looked at Qunchen, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Hu Weiyong, Wang Guangyang, Yang Xian......
No, one less?
"Why didn't Xi Zhenren come?" Zhu Wu asked.
Li Shanchang hesitated, looked at the ministers, and slowly spoke, "Last night, Xi Zhenren found the ministers and said that he was unwell, put down the affairs of the Ministry of Works, and recuperate at home!" โ
"Huh!" Zhu Wu smiled in his heart, "Old guy, pick a pick for me!" โ
He was laughing, but the ministers' expressions were not very good.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the old minister who had followed the king of Han for the longest time and was also a teacher and friend was about to resign, which was hidden and intriguing.
"Last night, I thought about it for a long time!"
Zhu Wu held his chin with one hand and said with a smile, "Since I got down and took off and established the name of the King of Han." How am I getting more and more impatient! Arbitrary, does not listen to the opinions of his courtiers, and only relies on his own likes and dislikes, becoming more and more emotional. โ
Ministers, listen quietly.
"I'm thinking, with such a mentality, it's definitely not a qualified leader. Including the ceremonies and the banquet of the ministers, my mean words are not what the king should say. โ
Zhu Wu paused, "Here, I'm going to review!" โ
"Don't dare!"
"In the future, don't say you don't dare!" Zhu Wu said with a smile, "In the future, you must dare to slap the table and stare in front of me." โ
Speaking of this, Zhu Wu stood up and said with a smile, "Today's morning meeting, Li Shanchang will take the lead, and I won't participate!" โ
"You are courtiers, I break your hearts, and if you say a few good words, you can redeem them. But Xi Zhenren is not just a courtier, but a family member. He had a grudge in his heart, and I went to pick it up myself. โ
After speaking, he walked outside the study.
"Prepare the horse, go to the old way!"
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Xi Yingzhen's residence is a small courtyard next to the craftsman's workshop, with only three rooms.
One study and two bedrooms. Extremely simple, without anything of value and without any guard pomp.
The craftsman's workshop, with heavy troops, patrols for twelve hours, and does not need pomp.
Zhu Wu came on horseback, and no one dared to stop him along the way, and he didn't want to show off. Dismounted in front of the small courtyard of Xi Laodao, went in lightly, and stopped outside the study.
Inside, Xi Yingzhen coughed a few times from time to time, and his body was slumped. There are a few big boxes on the ground, and he is directing Xiao Maoxiang and a few babies to load books inside.
"These are mapped, on the second floor of a black box!" Xi Yingzhen instructed, "Lay out oiled paper, moisture-proof, and insect-proof." If these books are lost, there will be no second copy in the world! โ
As he spoke, he saw Mao Xiang and the others standing still. Following their gaze, Zhu Wu leaned against the door with a smile.
"Daddy!" The children bow down.
"He's not your father!" Xi Yingzhen's airway.
Zhu Wu was not angry, waved his hand, let the children out, stepped in, and took out a book in the box casually, "What?" Going? Not really! โ
Xi Ying really didn't hear it, and continued to work.
"I didn't care about you? What's wrong? Zhu Wu turned the pages of the book, all of which were neatly handwritten.
Xi Yingzhen still turned his back to him and didn't speak.
"Yo!" Zhu Wu flipped through the book and said with a smile, "English? Who's going to learn this now? โ
"That's Latin!" Xi Yingzhen turned around, hated Tie Cheng and said, "Where did you come from?" If you don't learn anything, you can't get to this point! โ
"I know!" Zhu Wu smiled and sat down on the kang, "Deliberately teasing you!" โ
Xi Yingzhen still didn't speak.
"Look, how do you look like a child? Do you want people to coax you? Zhu Wu said, "Old Dao, have you watched me step by step to today, and if you don't see the ending, are you going to leave?" โ
"Your end is decided, you are going to lose!" Xi Yingzhen coughed, "Adou who can't help up!" โ
"I'm Adou, aren't you Zhuge Liang?" Zhu Wu hippie smiley.
"You!" Xi Yingzhen turned around and put the book down angrily, "Why didn't you kill him?" โ
said, said angrily, "A girl howls a few times, and you are soft-hearted?" Where your army has passed, how many girls have cried, and I haven't seen you soft-hearted! โ
"How so?" Zhu Wu scratched his head and laid a cushion on the kang, "You sit down first, let's talk slowly!" โ
Xi Yingzhen sat down and glared at him.
"It's still about you!" Zhu Wu said with a smile, "If you hadn't instructed Mr. Guan to do it, I wouldn't have been so anxious to kill him." โ
"It's up to me for this?" Xi Yingzhen's airway.
"I told you, I have a plan. If it weren't for Mr. Guan's out, he would have been poisoned to death after returning to Huai'an! Zhu Wu smiled.
Xi Yingzhen was stunned for a moment, "He has your people by his side!" โ
"Let's not talk about this yet!" Zhu Wu picked up a fruit on the table, took a bite, and then said, "But I saw Ma Xiuying and felt that she said a lot of things, which is reasonable!" โ
"Bullshit!" Xi Yingzhen disdainful, "You are a glutton..."
"Since becoming the king of Han, what do you say? In the words of my hometown, it is floating. So many people follow me, so many people are afraid of me, what I said is all right, what I said is the holy decree, floating! โ
Zhu Wu smiled bitterly and chewed the fruit, "When people float, they will have self-worship." I think I'm right about everything.
Do you remember, you asked me to convey those words to the little monk? Sneaky, intrigue is never a one.
But what about me? Now I'm obsessed with that thing, I have the power to let whoever I want die, I don't care what others think, I don't care what others say. โ
"Two different things.....
"I know that if you compare those historical figures, history will only remember the winners.
But now, unlike those victors. In this world, it's not the two of us fighting.
Ma Xiuying's words touched me, and I admit that I made the old mistake of being soft-hearted. But at the same time, I thought about it a lot"
Zhu Wu looked at Xi Yingzhen, "I'll only tell you this." โ
"Meng Yuan is still a tiger, he is mediocre, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't eat people.
My foothold in Jiangnan is not stable, and it seems to be smooth sailing, but in fact there are crises. I'm a big man, people are afraid now, but they don't recognize it.
I need time to digest these territories, and I need to make the world a little more chaotic.
There are only a few famous thieves in the world, Liu Futong, no? Xu Shouhui, no? Fang Guozhen, just a pirate.
Zhang Shicheng was killed by me, and the territory was occupied by me, and Chen Youliang is now unknown. โ
Xi Yingzhen suddenly shouted, "Do you know all these people? โ
"Yes!"
"You don't even know Tang He, do you know these people?"
Zhu Wu smiled, "I've seen the Heaven and Dragon Slayer!" โ
"What's that?" Xi Ying was really stunned.
"I'll say these things later!" Zhu Wu closed his eyes and pondered, "Where did you just go?" By the way, these famous thieves in the world! These people, besides Zhu Chongba, who else have great perseverance and courage to stir up the world? โ
"Without him, there would be someone else!" Xi Ying really laughed.
"Yes, there is no Zhu Chongba, there are Ma Chongba, Zhao Chongba." Zhu Wuzheng said, "However, none of them are the heavy eight I know. I let Zhu Chongba out, he is my eyes, my tentacles. His person, as long as he doesn't die, will be tossed, and the more he tosses, the more stable we will be in the south? โ
"Are you stupid?" Xi Yingzhen said angrily, "Okay, even if it is the heavy eight who understands, so what? He won't descend on you, he just wants you to die now. If he turns over, the first person to kill will be you! โ
Saying that, Xi Yingzhen was also angry, "You still don't believe you when you say you're stupid!" He's really mixed up, is he going to fight with you, isn't it your people who are dead? โ
"What did you ask me just now?" Zhu Wu suddenly laughed.
"What?" Xi Ying was really puzzled.
"You ask me if he has someone with me next to him!" Zhu Wu smiled, "I asked Xiao San to take Luzhou and Haozhou, why did I leave a Huai'an alone?" โ
As he spoke, he threw the fruit in his hand, "Why did I give him 30,000 soldiers?" If it were you, choose someone from an army of 100,000? Who do you choose? โ
Xi Yingzhen closed his eyes and thought and did not speak.
"Officer, right? With an officer, you can quickly build an army, right? Zhu Wu smiled and asked, "Let me tell you, I'm not just one person over there, but many people." โ
Xi Yingzhen opened his eyes, his eyes surprised.
"From the brothers around him, to the subordinate centurions, there are my people." Zhu Wu said with a smile, "Those who spend a lot of money and buy it out." โ
"So what?" Xi Yingzhen said, "People can collect money while not doing anything!" โ
"I have a roster!" Zhu Wu said, "I will deliberately let Zhu Chongba find out who has me, and then hand over the roster to him." You say, when the time comes, what will he do? โ
"If it's him, burn it!" Xi Ying really said, "You can't mess with the morale of the army!" โ
"Broken mirrors can be reunited!" Zhu Wu flicked his clothes, "I'll spread the news again, saying that he keeps a copy and settles accounts in the future." How strong can his military spirit be? โ
Xi Yingzhen was speechless for a while, "Xiao Wu, it turns out that you are calculating people's hearts, so clever!" โ
"It's not that I'm smart, but I know what kind of person Zhu Chongba is?" Zhu Wu stood up and said with a smile, "He is a hero, you know me, this is also a place where I have always admired and respected him." It's also one of the reasons why I never hurt the killer, but I know better that he is a ruthless person.
Although I don't have a good history, I listened to old people talk about the past when I was a child. Zhu Chongba later, but killed all the heroes.
It's not strange that a rabbit dies and a dog cooks, but it's as amazing as he is, less! โ
"I know him, he's always been an ambitious man, ambitious people, suspicious people.
You say he's going to burn the roster, but I don't believe it, he's going to burn a fake one at most.
His men are not stupid, not to mention that there are so many of my people.
Do you think he still has a military heart? โ
