I have known Zhu Zhi for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen him lose his usual calmness and indifference, but this also shows that when it comes to killing Yao Jin, he will never think that he has done something wrong, and it is useless to say so much.

Xu You decisively ended the topic and said softly: "I already know the hard work of the fourth uncle, and I will secretly play the master, and if I want to come to the lord, I will not blame him for this matter." It's just that the fourth uncle also has to know in his heart, Xie Fushu is not easy to get along, in order to get the approval of the Western Expedition, the fourth uncle once pretended to be my mouth, which greatly offended him. Yao Jin's death gives people a handle, and he will not give up......"

Zhu Zhi seemed to vent his grievances by breaking the wine glass, and regained his calm posture, saying: "Xie Xiwen is a chicken, don't worry. As long as the Lord and Shichiro are aware of my last resort, it is enough! ”

Xu You nodded and said, "Fourth Uncle is injured in his hand, why don't you go back to the camp to rest first?" ”

Zhu Zhi smiled: "A little injury, it's not in the way." He was a smart man, and he knew that Xu You didn't want to talk about Yao Jin anymore, so he changed his tone and said, "Did Zhu Yuanying confess?" ”

"I wish Yuanying ......"

Xu You said casually: "It's just a gutless rat full of nonsense, he is not the Four Heavenly Lords of the Heavenly Palace, and he can't squeeze too much oil and water." ”

"I see this in the same way as Shichiro." Zhu Zhidao: "But Zhu Yuanying's status in the six days will not be too low, maybe you can get the location of Xudu Mountain from his mouth, and when the western expedition is over, send troops to suppress this group of thieves and get rid of the big trouble in his heart." ”

Xu You said: "Xudu Mountain is extremely secretive, if Zhu Yuanying is not the Four Heavens, then he may not know the location of Xudu Mountain." Oh, I forgot to tell you that Zhu Yuanying has been lurking by your side for many years, and according to his confession, it was because you secretly rescued Cao Wei's orphan thirty years ago, and kept it by your side, with ill intentions, and seemed to want to plot against you......"

When Xu You said this, he deliberately stopped, Zhu Zhi changed color slightly, and said, "What a Zhu Yuanying, this is to kill me!" ”

"Six days want to start with you, get this Cao Wei orphan, and then in the name of recovering Wei and destroying Chu, raise an army to rebel!" Xu You comforted: "However, no one will believe such nonsense, and the fourth uncle doesn't have to worry." ”

Zhu Zhi shook his head and said: "Fortunately, I met Qilang, but if I changed to someone else, I may not believe it, even if I don't believe it in my heart, for the sake of fame, it is troublesome to weave vines and invite favors." ”

"Check the unsubstantiated matter, now it is the master of the Ming, and there is no Sili Mansion in the Yuan Xing Dynasty, who dares to weave and punish the crime, no need for the fourth uncle to do it, I will take his head first!"

Xu You's seemingly casual words were full of murderous aura. If He Wei is here, he must be relieved, he has always felt that Xu You's heart is too kind, although he knows how to use power, but he is too lazy to use it, lacking the majesty and domineering that makes people tremble, for more than ten years, fighting with the sky, fighting with life, the road of Qingyun full of blood and killing, finally turned Xu You into the ideal in his mind, this is not right or wrong, but when he reaches a certain position, he naturally wants to do what he should do in a certain position, perhaps, this is the price of growth.

In the past, Zhu Zhi didn't care about other people's fabrication, with his family background and status, as long as he didn't conspire against him, other crimes would not hurt his bones at all. But at this juncture, he cares a lot about Xu You's opinion, since he killed Yao Jin, he must give a satisfactory explanation to this general of the dynasty who has a heavy army, because Xu You's support is very important to his plan.

Therefore, he sent Zhu Yuanying directly to Xu You to show his openness, and he wanted to use Zhu Yuanying's six-day identity as compensation to offset Xu You's dissatisfaction with Yao Jin's death. But what I didn't expect was that Zhu Yuanying would have fabricated such a bizarre but lethal lie, as he said, now is the most critical time, if he didn't meet Xu You, and then be suspected of caring for Cao Wei by others, he would inevitably have to resign from the table, and then return to Beijing to wait for investigation, in that way, thirty years of hard work will be wasted, maybe he will have to take risks, what the outcome will be, it is not easy to predict......

I can't help but say that Zhu Zhi is indeed a little afraid in his heart, if he had known that Zhu Yuanying would have such a vicious method, he really shouldn't take this risk, it is better to continue to leave him lurking by his side, and find another way to extinguish Xu You's anger.

"Zhu Yuanying may be a rat, but he is not a fool, he uses the so-called Cao Wei orphan to confuse people, I am afraid that it is to cover up his true intentions." Zhu Zhi will be wrong, since he threw out Zhu Yuanying, he might as well maximize his interests, try to draw Xu You's attention to Liutian's side, and said: "Qilang can't take it lightly, it's better to force his confession as soon as possible!" ”

Xu You smiled: "The winter solstice is being interrogated...... Don't be in a hurry, if you can't ask for a day, then for ten days, if you can't ask for ten days, then for a hundred days, no matter how hard the bones are, he can't hold it! ”

There is a famous saying in the "Luo Weaving Sutra", "Death can be bearable, the pain is unbearable, the torturer takes it unbearable, the soldier is not tolerant of humiliation, the person suffers from the relatives, and the punishment is unwilling", which means that many people can face death calmly, but the torture of pain is really unbearable, the torture should focus on their weaknesses, the scholar does not want to be humiliated, and the ordinary people are afraid of the relatives, and the punishment of people is to punish them for their unwillingness.

This is the supreme law of torture for thousands of years, not only Zhu Yuanying can't hold it, but Xu You has fallen to this step of the field, just wanting to die quickly, how dare you hope to keep it a secret?

"If only you had a good idea!" Zhu Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Yao Jin and Zhu Yuanying's matter was temporarily over, and said, "Is there anything else Qilang wants to ask?" ”

"Does the fourth uncle have a plan to break Chang'an?"

"Breaking Chang'an is actually as easy as a snap!"

"Oh?" Xu You leaned forward, revealing joy, and said, "Fourth uncle, please speak!" ”

"Since Yao Ji ascended the throne, it has only been a year, extravagant, large-scale construction, and indiscriminate conscription, and the people have long complained. Now there are nearly 200,000 servants in Chang'an City who are logging and quarrying day and night, to build a new Golden Bird Hall for Yao Ji, these servants have 50 dead soldiers I planted in advance, after this more than half a year of development, the power they can control is about to increase to more than 1,000 people, if they charge into battle, these more than 1,000 people are useless, but if they fan the flames in Chang'an City and cause riots, it is comparable to tens of thousands of male soldiers. ”

is worthy of Xiao Zhuge , really thinking about the long term, Xu You praised: "Great goodness! There is Lu Shuihu outside, there are dead soldiers inside, and Yao Ji's dream of the Plantagenet Heavenly Son has also come to an end! ”

Four days later, in the middle of the night, dust and smoke were billowing from the direction of Anding County in the northwest, and Fuqu Wugu led 20,000 cavalry to Chang'an. He didn't have time to relieve his armor, entered the palace to ask to see Yao Ji, the eunuch Luo Xun personally went to the palace gate, welcomed him to the side hall to wait, and said with a smile: "Zhang Ye Gong waits, the lord has not slept for two days, and he has just fallen asleep, and the slave has asked people to invite ......."

Frustrated Qu Wugu owed, without any rebelliousness, and quietly handed over a small brocade bag in his hand, and said: "It's really not your subordinates, this time the rescue is late, and I don't dare to delay, so I entered the palace late at night to meet him, which not only did not comply with the system, but also disturbed the lord, capital crime!" ”

Luo Xun took it, flipped it with his hand, listened to the sound of the noise, opened the bag, and took out a round gold coin, the front of which was printed with the head of the new emperor of the Byzantine Empire, orange and yellow, and the good color of the goods, should have been recently bought from the hands of those merchants in the rest of the country. Since the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the value of gold has suddenly decreased significantly, and the value has naturally risen, and a pound of gold is worth 10,000 yuan in the Western Han Dynasty, and in the Wei and Jin dynasties, a pound of gold is worth 100,000 yuan, soaring tenfold. At this time in Liangguo, a pound of gold is as high as about 150,000 yuan, the key is that money may not be able to buy, the real price is not in the market, and it belongs to the rare things collected by the royal relatives.

The bag sent by Fuqu Wugu is roughly estimated to be two catties, which is a rare generous gesture, Luo Xunxiao's mouth can't be closed, and he said: "Zhang Yegong can lead the army to the king at this time, and be loyal to the sun and the moon, how can the lord blame?" ”

"Yes, yes, I still have to rely on the good words of Da Changqiu......"

"Well said!"

The Chu army camp outside the city stretched for several miles, how could Yao Ji sleep, he was discussing with Wen Ziyou in the Taiji Palace, and when he heard that Fuqu Wugu had arrived, his suspicions suddenly became loud, and he said: "I didn't issue an edict to let King Zhangye Gongqin, why did he lead the troops to Beijing without authorization?" ”

In the final analysis, Yao Ji is not at ease with Lu Shuihu, after all, Yao Jin has learned from the past, and he is frustrated and capricious, so it is better to stay in Anding County honestly and guard the gateway to the Hexi Corridor. If the war in Chang'an is unfavorable, at least take Anding County and withdraw to Liangzhou, Yongzhou and Hezhou, and rest and recuperate according to the danger, in order to plan for the future.

Wen Ziyou said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there should be no dissent, otherwise how could you enter the palace alone to ask to see you?" This is entrusting your life to Your Majesty......"

"That's just as well!" Yao Ji was slightly calm, and said, "Then, do I see it or not?" ”

"Naturally!" Wen Ziyou said: "I watch the movements of the Chu army, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it will be a big siege, Lu Shui Hu is brave and good at fighting, there are more 20,000 elites in his hands, the gap between the strength of our army and the Chu army is further narrowed, and the odds of victory can be increased by three percent, so the lord not only wants to see, but also rewards!" ”

"Frustrated Wugu has become the Duke of Zhangye, how else can he be rewarded? If you reward money, how can you reward your merits without ten thousand dollars? The treasury is empty, and even building a goldfinch palace is stretched, and there is nothing to reward! ”

When Yao Ji was the former commander of the left department, in order to perform positively and win the favor of his father, he rewarded and punished him, and he was quite heroic. But after usurping the throne, facing pressure from all sides, he was not only afraid of being in the wrong position, but also afraid that Yao Jin was not dead, and was driven crazy by the voices of opposition and criticism at home and abroad, coupled with Wen Ziyu's pouting from time to time, he became a different person, addicted to women, indulged in pleasure, and the little money in the treasury was not enough for him to spend on himself, how could he take it out and reward his subordinates?

Wen Ziyou said with a smile: "Fuqu is not greedy for money, only greedy for fame, and he is named the king of Liangzhou, so he should be content if he comes." ”

"What?" Yao Ji almost jumped up and said, "You can't be crowned king according to the ancestral system with a different surname!" This proposal is absolutely impossible, absolutely not! ”

Wen Ziyou persuaded hard: "When Xu You enters Chang'an, Your Majesty will not even protect the throne, and Liangzhou belongs, does it matter?" At the moment, it is imperative to buy horse bones, reward the frustrated canal, collect the heart of Lu Shuihu, and then use the torn soil to motivate the soldiers to serve their lives, so as to win in defeat and relieve the siege of Chang'an. As for the future, if Your Majesty wants to deal with these kings with different surnames, you can slowly try to ......"

Yao Ji said angrily: "I'm afraid that Xu You can't do it?" When tomorrow he leads the iron cavalry to break through the formation, and takes his head to hang in front of the formation, what is the difficulty? ”

"Your Majesty is invincible, Xu You is naturally not an opponent, but the Chu army is victorious, and it can besiege the city for several months without being impatient. If you want to fight quickly, you must be united from top to bottom, but under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, what kind of reward can be heavier than the king? ”

At this time, Luo Xun walked in and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Ye Gong is a servant of the dust, his armor is not solved, and he is only worried about state affairs, he is really loyal and courageous, which is admirable!" ”

"Huh? What did he say? ”

Luo Xun added fuel and vinegar to portray Fuqu Wugu as the only loyal minister in the world, Wen Ziyou blew the wind again, Yao Ji finally swayed, hesitated for a while, and said: "You can ...... according to the ancestral system."

Wen Ziyou said coldly: "Your Majesty ascended the throne, did you follow the ancestral system?" ”

Yao Ji was angry at first, but he saw that Wen Ziyou looked at him without flinching, leaned back in the chair, and said, "Okay, Xuan Fuqu Wu is lonely!" ”

The sound of eager and dull footsteps came from far and near, and the depressed Wugu appeared in the main hall, his hands prostrate on the ground, and said: "The minister is late to save the driver, please surrender your majesty!" ”

Now that he has made up his mind, Yao Ji is still very good at acting, and he personally walked down the jade steps, grabbed the arm of Fuqu Wugu, and said, "How many people did Zhang Ye Gong bring?" ”

"When the national disaster is at hand, the ministers dare not hide their secrets, and they are willing to fight to the death for Your Majesty!"

"Good! Good! Good! Yao Ji said three good words, generously promised, and said: "When Xu You Xiao'er is destroyed, I will crown you as the king of Liangzhou, for generations, the frustrated Qu clan will be the eternal town of Liangzhou, if you violate this oath, heaven and man will be punished!" ”

Fuqu Wugu sneered in his heart, the reward of the dying person has no meaning, the Chu army has hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, Xu You, Zhu Zhi, Tan Xiaozu and others are rare wise and brave people in the north and south world, there are few villains in Liangguo, and Yao Ji is not popular with the people, how can he achieve the final victory?

The Hu people in Guanzhong are divided into dozens of large and small races such as Xiongnu, Yueshi, Yunlu, Zahu, Qinhu, Qian, Diqiang, etc., and only a handful of them can reproduce so far, just say that the two main streams of Rushui and Hulu River alone form five Rong: Yiqu Rong, Yuzhi Rong, Wushi Rong, Qu Yanrong, Peng Lurong, and only Peng Lurong, the predecessor of Lu Shuihu, survived, and Lu Shuihu's way of survival for hundreds of years is that there is no loyalty, no right or wrong, and he does not hesitate to be a slave and a dog, and always stands beside the strong.

Forever!

His face showed a look of disbelief, and then tears fell, and he suddenly kowtowed to thank him, and said in a loud tone: "Please Your Majesty order the ministers to be the vanguard, early tomorrow morning, if you can't conquer Xu Youzhong's army camp, I am willing to come and see you!" ”

When it comes to acting, a hundred Yao Ji is not his opponent!

After all, acting is not only about talent, but also about the precipitation of years, Yao Ji, too young!

(Note: The Northern Wei Dynasty tomb on Hengshan Road in Luoyang has unearthed a gold coin given to Luo Xun by Fuqu, and experts have verified that it should be the tomb of Emperor Min Yuan Gong of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
