After receiving Guo Peng's summons, Chen Ji was a little worried.

He came to Guo Peng's study with trepidation and cautiously, and knelt on the cushion face to face with Guo Peng.

There was a desk between them, on which was a small copper stove, lit with incense, and a few wisps of dark blue smoke passed through the hole in the lid of the small copper stove, stubbornly floating upward.

Time goes back hundreds of years, this is the standard model of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Han Dynasty and the Qin system, such a custom has also been preserved.

Guo Peng likes this model very much and thinks that this model is a bit forced, so when he asks the right questions with the strategists he values, he uses this model.

It's the same right now.

He poured a drink for Chen Ji with his own hands and handed it to Chen Ji.

Chen Ji hurriedly thanked him.

"Chen Gong doesn't need to be polite."

Guo Peng smiled slightly and said: "Chen Gong is an old man who has followed me all the way, I have come all the way, Chen Gong has worked tirelessly to help, and I am grateful." ”

Chen Ji hurriedly said: "A little bit of effort, the old minister doesn't dare to be proud." ”

"Hahahaha, why does Gong Chen have to be like this?"

Guo Peng took out a bamboo slip from his arms and held it in his hand, and said with a smile: "There are some things that outsiders need to avoid, but Chen Gongde is highly respected, why should he care?" Chen Gong is relieved, I don't have any shying away from Chen Gong. ”

When Guo Peng said these words, Chen Ji felt a little incomprehensible, and he was not relieved, and the bamboo slip that Guo Peng had been holding in his hand just now was ......

What does that mean?

Chen Ji did not speak.

Leaning less, Guo Peng spoke again.

"There's one thing, I don't know if Gong Chen has heard of it."

Chen Ji hurriedly said: "Duke Wei, please speak." ”

"It's not big, it's not small."

Guo Peng put the bamboo slip in his hand on the desk: "Please also ask Chen Gong to take a look." ”

Chen Ji reached out with some confusion and picked up the bamboo slip, untied the rope, and read it carefully.

"Speaking of which, this incident really makes Lone a little strange."

Guo Peng took a sip of a sweet drink with a glass of water.

Chen Ji was slowly reading the words on the bamboo slips.

This bamboo slip was sent by Xun You, who stayed behind in Luoyang and was ordered by Shangshu.

"Gu didn't expect it, His Majesty wanted to make Gu the king of Wei, and this was not brought up by Gu on his own initiative."

Chen Ji read and read, finished reading the simple opening statement, and then looked down, suddenly his heart tightened, and his brows furrowed.

Xun Yu recorded that the little emperor wanted to crown Guo Peng as the king of Wei, but Xun Yu took the initiative to stand up against it and slandered Guo Peng.

King Wei?

Xun Yu against?

This......

"Lone didn't expect that someone would doubt Lone's intentions, and even feel that Lonely is bad."

Chen Ji gradually read the part of the court dispute, and read the part of Xun Yu's repeated refutation of Xun Yu's proposals, fine beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead, his heartbeat began to accelerate, and his lips became a little dry.

"Lone didn't expect that someone would say in front of the court that Lone was the Duke of Wei yesterday, the King of Wei today, and ...... tomorrow."

Guo Peng put down the water glass, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, his cold gaze locked on Chen Ji's body, and slowly spoke.

"It's Emperor Wei."

At this moment, Chen Ji happened to read the last part of Xun Yu's book about "Please behead Xun Yu to set the record straight".

At that moment, Chen Ji's pupils shrank, his breathing stagnated, and a large amount of cold sweat instantly broke out behind his back, and his underwear was quickly soaked with cold sweat.

At the same time, his hand shook, and the bamboo slip fell on the desk in front of him, making a crisp crashing sound, and then fell to the ground again.

Chen Ji's lips trembled, his body trembled, and it seemed that even his soul was trembling.

Guo Peng's face remained the same, his smile remained the same, and his eyes became more and more cold.

"Gong Chen, you said, tomorrow, Lonely, you will become Wei! Emperor! Is it so? ”

Chen Ji's breathing was very short because of nervousness, his heartbeat kept accelerating, and he only felt a cold breath from head to toe from the inside to the outside, making him feel cold all over his body.

"Old ...... The old minister thought ...... No...... No......"

Chen Ji's voice became trembling and intermittent because of his trembling body.

He suddenly noticed that it seemed that from the beginning, Guo Peng's self-proclaimed name had changed from the usual "I" to a cold "lonely".

"Chen Gong thinks not?"

Guo Peng was still smiling, and said slowly: "But why does Xun Wenruo think so?" Chen Gong, I remember that Xun Wenruo and Chen Gong seem to have a good relationship, Xun and Chen, the relationship seems to be good, and the relationship between Changwen and Xun Wenruo seems to be even better, right? ”

At that moment, Chen Ji's body froze.

Then, almost instantly, Chen Ji left in front of Guo Peng, kneeling backwards and kneeling a few steps, and bowed to the ground for a big bow.

"Gong Wei! Never! ”

Chen Ji said in a trembling voice: "Since Xun Wenruo opposed Duke Wei's consecration, the Chen family and the Chen family have already known that Xun Wenruo has bad intentions, so they have never had any contact with Xun Wenruo!" Absolutely nothing! ”

"Gee, that's not good."

Guo Peng's eyes were still cold, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more brilliant: "Xun Chen's two surnames have been friends for a long time, and they are close to each other and married.

Xun and Chen are both my Han surnames, the two families are close and friendly, and they communicate with each other, which is an important cornerstone for the development of our Han studies. This guilt is lonely, and I can't afford it. ”

Guo Peng was full of smiles and a relaxed tone, as if he was chatting with Chen Ji about family life.

But when he said this to Chen Ji, Chen Ji heard it, and every sentence was a heart-wrenching word, a fateful word.

Chen Ji felt that Guo Peng, who was sitting there, seemed to have raised the butcher knife and was about to swing it at him.

He had never felt his heart beating so fast, and he had never felt his brain so clear.

"Wei Gong!"

Chen Ji said in a trembling voice: "It is true that the Chen family and the Xun family have been friendly for generations, but it is only an academic exchange and does not involve any ...... Any other connection, if Wei Gong doesn't like it, the Chen family will never have any dealings with the Xun family in the future! ”

"Didn't you say it?"

Guo Peng shook his head: "If it is because of Lone, the Xun family and the Chen family are no longer friendly, then Lone, it is a big mistake, what will future generations think of Lone?" ”

“！！！”

Chen Ji suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said, "Gong Wei is not wrong! Wei Gong is not wrong! Old...... Chan ...... Minister! The old minister thought that the Chen family should not have anything to do with the Xun family! Chan ...... Chen was very dissatisfied with Xun Wenruo's slander of Wei Gong! The Chen clan will no longer have any connection with the Xun clan immediately! In the future, there will be no communication and in-laws! ”

Guo Peng picked up the water cup and took a sip of the sweet drink, only to feel that it was full of sweetness.

Don't speak.

Don't speak?

Is that......

Chen Ji's eyes rolled, his brain spun rapidly, and a flash of inspiration flashed between the lightning and flint, swallowed his saliva, and made up his mind.

"The old minister thinks that Yingchuan's hometown has been poisoned by Xiliang Dong thieves, and it has long been dilapidated, which is not enough for the Chen family's hometown, the Chen family, and is willing to move the family to Wei County to live, and never return to Yingchuan!"

After Chen Ji finished speaking, he touched the ground with his forehead, put his hands in front of his forehead, and knelt in front of Guo Peng, and the etiquette was very thorough.

Guo Peng put down the water glass and smiled.

"Wouldn't this be too embarrassing for Gong Chen? After all, it is a hundred-year-old hometown, and it is difficult to leave the homeland, if the Chen clan is dissatisfied and complains about the loneliness, then ......"

"Absolutely not, all the people of the Chen clan have no complaints."

Chen Ji didn't raise his head, knelt on the ground and said resolutely: "Not now, not in the future, never, never!" Whoever has it is no longer a child of the Chen family! ”

After a while.

"That's good."

Guo Peng stood up with a smile, walked to Chen Ji's side, squatted down, and helped Chen Ji's upper body up with both hands.

Chen Ji didn't dare to look at Guo Peng's face.

"Chen Gong, Changwen is a very good young man, rigorous, reliable, and has a sense of the overall situation, I think Changwen is very promising, Chen Gong has a good son, I am very happy for Chen Gong."

Chen Ji raised his head little by little, and saw the smile on Guo Peng's face little by little, and his heart relaxed a little.

So he grinned and smiled very reluctantly.

"Being appreciated by Duke Wei is the blessing of Changwen and the blessing of Changwen."

"Come, Gong Chen, sit down."

Guo Peng intimately helped Chen Ji to walk to the cushion, and then helped Chen Ji to kneel and sit down.

Chen Jiduan sat down and straightened his posture.

"Then Chen Gong thinks, what if Xun Wen should be killed? Or should it not be killed? Should the others who seconded him be killed? Or should it not be killed? ”

At the same time, just as Chen Ji had just made a gesture, Guo Peng spoke again.

At that time, when such a question was asked, Guo Peng bent down and stood beside Chen Ji.

Guo Peng's hands are still caring for Chen Ji's collar and taking care of him very carefully, just like a deferential junior.

As a result, the words spoken by this junior made Chen Ji feel cold again.

So Chen Ji froze directly.

Leaning less, Chen Ji swallowed his saliva.

"Only...... As long as it is a decision made by Duke Wei, the old minister ...... There is absolutely no objection, and the old minister will definitely support any decision made by Duke Wei. ”

Chen Ji skillfully kicked the ball once, and he really didn't want to answer such a heart-wrenching question.

Murder is also punished.

Guo Zifeng.

You're too ruthless.

Chen Ji didn't want to answer.

But Guo Peng didn't let him go.

"Lone just wants to listen to Chen Gong's opinion, Lone has always been open to the way of speech, wide acceptance of loyal and good words, Chen Gong does not say, is he unwilling to answer Lone? Do you think that Lone is not worthy of Chen Gong's loyal words to Lone? Does Chen Gong have an opinion about Lone? ”

Guo Peng still bent down beside Chen Ji to take care of his clothes intimately.

Chen Ji's entire body tensed.

"The old minister didn't dare to ......"

"Then let's talk about it."

Guo Peng suddenly shouted outside the door: "Someone." ”

Chen Ji was a little strange, tilted his head slightly, and saw two young officials walking in, one holding pen and ink and bamboo slips, and the other holding a desk and a bookshelf for building bamboo slips.

The two of them operated, that is, one of them sat in front of the desk, spread out the bamboo slips and put them on the bookshelf, did not squint, and wanted to write with a pen.

One sat beside him, grinding ink for him.

Chen Ji's pupils shrank.

"Gong Chen, why didn't you say it? Is it wrong to do something wrong? Is there anything wrong with Lone? ”

Guo Peng asked with a smile, his hand caressing Chen Ji's back, and the force was gentle.

Chen Ji's lips trembled, and he only hesitated for a moment.

"The Son of Heaven has an edict, and the Duke of Wei is the king of Wei, but Xun Wenruo is an important minister, but he ...... But he speaks rebellious words, slanders loyalty, and sinister intentions, and his heart can be seen! The impact is also very bad, which will make people doubt the heart of Duke Wei's loyalty to the monarchy, so his crime is ...... While...... Punished!! ”

After saying the last word, Chen Ji's breathing became short, he pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth turned down, and closed his eyes tightly.

The whole body began to tremble slightly.

The young clerk with the pen immediately started writing, and the pen was resolute, and the pen was smooth, and he didn't know what he was writing.

"Be punished...... Xun Wenruo has followed me for several years, saying that he will be killed, my heart is also quite unbearable, why is he so confused, it is already a fact that His Majesty has ascended the throne now, no matter how unwilling he is, he can't murder the Son of Heaven......"

Guo Peng's face was sad, beating his chest, his eyes were red: "Why is this? Why is that? ”

Chen Ji's pupils shrank, and he suddenly looked up at Guo Peng.

"Gong Chen? Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong? ”

Guo Peng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked at Chen Ji a little strangely.

………………

Chen Ji was stunned for a moment.

"No, no, Wei Gong is not wrong, if Xun Wen is wrong, he is guilty! Treason! It's a capital offense! ”

Chen Ji decisively lowered his head.

The young clerk with the pen looked at the exchange between Guo Peng and Chen Ji, thought about it for a while, and started writing again, very resolutely.

Seeing that the young clerk with the pen had finished recording, Guo Peng stood up straight and helped Chen Ji up.

"Chen Gong's meaning, I already understand, Chen Gong will go home to rest for the time being, Chen Gong is older, he must rest more, wear more clothes, eat more light food, less oil, less salt, so that he can live a long life, live a long life, and only then can he see Changwen get ahead."

Guo Peng helped Chen Ji all the way to the gate of the house, watched Chen Ji board the carriage with the support of his subordinates, watched the carriage go away slowly, disappeared around the corner of the street, and then slowly returned to the house.

In the room, the two young officials had not yet left, and the person in charge of recording the bamboo slips with the writing on them was presented with both hands.

"Today's events have been described, please read them to Duke Wei."

Guo Peng nodded, stretched out his hand to take it, and saw a concise and concise sentence written on the bamboo slip.

"In November, twenty-eight people, including Xun Yu and Zang Hong, the great Honglu, conspired to kill the emperor, and Shang Shu ordered Xun Yu to discuss the crime, saying that Yu and other crimes should be punished, and the public and Chen Ji discussed Yu and other conspiracy against him, and the same was true of Ji Yan, and the public was sentimental, and he said sadly.

Guo Peng is very satisfied.

"In triplicate, make more reserves, and do a good job of embalming in case you can write history books in the future."

"Yes."

The two young officers took their leave.

Looking at their departing backs, Guo Peng smiled again, a little arrogant and a little fearless.

Hey, history books.

Hahahahaha!

Hahahahahahaha!
