Chapter 96: Refining people's hearts, sorrows, joys, and wine

After the death of King Chulie of Zhao, the important ministers of the royal court, this emergency meeting held temporarily in the main hall in front of Jinxiang Palace had already split into three factions before it was over.

Among them, because of the decadence and inaction of Minister Fei Yi, even some other people who wanted to support Chu Jiangmian did not make their voices heard. They were forced to choose patience for the time being, wanting to wait for a miracle to happen.

And the two forces led by Wang Shuchu Daxing and Shangda Fu Zizhong each came together because of common interests. Zizhong and the aristocracy he represented chose to compromise. Like most of the royal family, they tacitly began to support their son Chu Qingyun, who had been exiled for ten years.

Poor Gongzi Liangsheng, in this exchange of interests, became a victim in this way. Just as the others began to discuss passionately, he stayed alone in the corner, silent, and his face looked very painful.

For the rest of the day, though, no one paid too much attention to him. A son who is destined not to gain power again loses his value. In his future life, he may be depressed or disappear in obscurity. Maybe...... Unleash the flaming flames that destroy thousands of troops when everyone is not expecting them! And what the future holds, who can predict in advance?

After some brief deliberations, Wang Shu Chu Daxing officially announced in the posture of a victor that in view of the current emergency situation, the ministers and royal nobles had to change the king's decree for the sake of the Zhao State's country. decided to support Gongzi Chu Qingyun as the successor to the throne. However, in order not to cause confusion among the people, and even more so as not to alarm the spiritual throne of the previous king, the edict of the new king to succeed to the throne must wait until the king's coffin is buried before announcing it to the world, and succeed to the throne at the same time.

In fact, the most important thing is that the new king should be established immediately, according to the intention of some of them. However, after Chu Daxing and Zizhong exchanged views again, they finally decided that waiting until ten days later might be the best time.

Chu Qingyun and Chu Qi stood together, listening expressionlessly to the discussions in a low voice from these scheming guys. No one noticed it, and a deep contempt flashed in the corner of his eye. He only wondered in his heart now, why did his father, the Hero I, have such courtiers in the royal court? If he really knew something, would he be so angry that he drew his sword?

Ten days, on the surface, seemed to be tolerant and generous, and met Chu Jiangmian's request to keep the spirit and not to persecute him. In fact, they just wanted to completely put the cauldron of Zhao Guo's defeat and the tension caused by the situation, and completely deduct it on the head of this unlucky prince. According to them, the army has been defeated anyway, and the armies of the five countries are continuing to attack day and night, and the situation is difficult to reverse in a short time. Someone has to be responsible, right? Since Chu Jiangmian accepted the entrustment of the previous king, he didn't do anything, and he retreated in the depths of the inner palace under the pretext of guarding the king's spirit, wanting to evade his responsibilities...... Such a loss of troops and land is inescapable. And this is the best excuse to depose him, so who will feel sorry for him among the people of Zhao State?

"It's really vicious! Presumably, if you refuse to be at their mercy in the near future, you will be treated in the same way, right? Hum! If you guys these

If the guy really has such a mind, then I can't complain that I will be ruthless at that time. ”

Chu Qingyun, who had been thinking about it for a long time in his heart, heard that they had finally discussed the result. He patted Chu Qi's shoulder with his hand, and said something that seemed to be intentional and seemingly casual.

"Daqi, no matter what happens in the future, I want to thank you for your friendship. I will never aim a knife at you, and I hope you don't stick a knife in my back under any circumstances! ”

Chu Qi was taken aback by his inexplicable words. He hurriedly asked, "Qingyun, no matter what your identity is, I treat you as a friend...... Don't scare me! Why do you say that? ”

It's just that Chu Qingyun no longer answered him. If anyone has given him warmth in the past ten years, he only remembers that this playmate of his youth has never stopped sending all kinds of things needed in Liaodong County. He has never forgotten this friendship. As for the others, since they regard him and Zhao Guo as tools for themselves to gain rich and noble interests, then he doesn't mind giving back with knives and blood one day in the future!

The temporary meeting caused by Prince Chu Jiangmian's insistence was held in a hurry and ended in a hurry. The ten-day period is not long, but it is not short. During this time, many things can be done for some people with ulterior motives. Perhaps, everyone needs this buffer period to make a preparation or game related to fate and death.

When the people with different moods walked out of the main hall, the rain outside still did not stop. Fei Yi, the minister of state sitting at the door of the main hall, seems to be a little older in this short period of time. Someone stopped behind him, sighed, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Your Excellency, do you really want to watch the chaos and the destruction of the Zhao Kingdom like this?!"

Fei Yi opened his eyes, but he didn't look back. The drizzle wet his sideburns, and his old face was full of sorrow and sadness.

"I'm old, and I may soon follow the king! The rise and fall of a country has its own certainty. What can I do with a bad old man? Alas! Go ahead! Let's go...... I just want to stay here quietly and not pay attention to anything outside the palace. ”

The doctor, who had the last glimmer of hope, walked out of the temple like many around him, never to look back. And Long Yu, who was walking at the back, had nowhere to vent the depression in his heart, and slashed on the stone steps, splashing sparks, and then turned around and left angrily. Fei Yi didn't even look at him.

And Uncle Wang, Chu Daxing, and Shangda Master Zizhong didn't pay attention to the prime minister when they left. In their eyes, the decrepit Fei Yi has become a waste, and his time has passed. Let him stay here for the last time, maybe in ten days, he will really follow King Zhao!

Fei Yi lowered his head, like an old dog who was struggling to breathe, and no one paid attention to it. It was only at a certain moment that his cloudy old eyes looked through the rain to see the figure in the green shirt disappear from the crowd, looked up at the dark gray sky above the palace, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

"Liang Shenggongzi, I hope you can succeed immediately when you go...... Return safely! The old man is here to wait for good news. ”

Behind the rise of every great dynasty, there are countless silent devotees and sacrifices. And behind the dust of history, who is the invincible king who is amazed, and who is the real hero who is unknown?! When the mission-bearer who forbears everything bursts out with the power of the earth-shattering shock, those who know will naturally know, and those who don't know will never know.

Chu Liangsheng didn't see the gaze behind him, and he couldn't hear the silent blessing. After leaving the palace, he walked forward as fast as he could, and soon threw off the ranks of the ministers. There seemed to be a faint sound of ridicule in his ears, but in the depths of his turbulent heart, none of that mattered.

And the back of his hurried departure, in the eyes of some people, is only that this failed son can no longer bear the humiliation he has received today. It seems that he needs to return to his mansion and find his concubines to soothe his wounded heart.

However, these obscene thoughts are naturally a mockery of him. In fact, if anyone could know what happened next in the Grand Prince's Mansion, they would be surprised.

The residence of the son of Liangsheng is a street away from Jinxiang Palace. When twilight falls, the house is quiet. Because everyone knows that Childe has been in a very bad mood since he came back from the palace. He shut himself up in the back of the hide, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

The people in the house didn't know what was going on. In their cognition, of course, it was caused by the death of the king, which caused the prince to be extremely sad. Although the eldest prince is a little taciturn on weekdays, he is still good to the people in the house. Therefore, everyone was careful not to alarm him.

In rainy weather, it gets dark early. Soon after, the lights began to light up near and far. Jiang Song, the master who had been teaching Liang Sheng Gongzi since very early times, carried a lantern, passed through the middle gate covered with white flags, and walked into the back reading.

"Childe, no matter what happens, you need to take good care of your body! Here, this is a meal that I asked the people to prepare for you, so come and eat a little. ”

A few delicate and delicious dishes and a pot of wine were soon placed on several tables. Jiang Song patted Liang Sheng's shoulder, his tone full of deep concern.

"I'm not hungry! What's more, my father is newly mourned, and my heart is sad, how can I eat? ”

"Childe, it's not right for you to say that. It is precisely because the king has just left that you have to cheer up and do something good! You are the son of the king, and you have the responsibility to take up the burden of the country! ”

"Master, don't say that...... I didn't need to worry about those things in the first place. Hehe! After all, I'm just a pawn at the mercy of others. ”

"Childe! What are you talking about? Could it be that there is a ...... in the palace today? ”

"Not bad! I'm an outcast now, and I won't even be able to save my life at any time! ”

Chu Liangsheng finally couldn't hide the anger in his heart, he picked up the bamboo slip on the desk and threw it to the ground. It's just that he didn't notice that an imperceptible sneer passed from the corner of Jiang Song's eyes.

"Then Childe, are you willing to be slaughtered like this?"
