Wei State, Great Liang.

When the news of Li Mu's defeat of the Xiongnu had not yet spread to the princes, Chen Ziyou was having a headache about the seizure of power by the King of Wei.

Chen Ziyou was a military theorist at the Military Academy more than 10,000 years ago, and he was good at command and planning on the battlefield. But the seizure of power for King Wei really gave him a headache, this is not a dancing knife and a gun on the battlefield, but a sword and sword shadow in the court.

The visible sword is easy to dodge, but the invisible sword is difficult, and Chen Ziyou is now fighting against the invisible sword. Honestly, it's not what he's good at, and it's not what he wants to do.

Chen Ziyou looked at the seemingly mediocre Wei minister Wu Xu in front of him, and began to think about whether the person in front of him could really help him succeed.

Wu Xu couldn't help but smile when he saw that Chen Ziyou had been looking at him: "Chen Xiang has been looking at the lower officials, but it's not polite." ”

Chen Ziyou scratched his head in embarrassment, and also smiled: "King Wei said that Lord Wu is one of the few loyal people in the court, and I am curious. ”

Wu Xu Zhengse said: "The lord of the country has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and after seeing Wu Kui's arrogance for a long time, he naturally thinks that the ministers are the head of his horse, but the lower officials don't think so. There is only one son of heaven in the Wei State, even if Wu Kui is rampant, it is impossible for the officials to obey, in the eyes of the lower officials, most officials just dare to be angry and dare not speak. ”

When Chen Ziyou heard Wu Xu say this, he was also curious: "Master Wu means that Wu Kui has the handle of most officials in his hands?" ”

Wu Xu showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, and then continued: "Chen Xiang is really smart, that's right, in fact, Wu Kui has a lot of handles from the ministers of the court, but what kind of handle it is, because of my identity and the current power of Wu Kui, it is not easy for me to investigate." ”

Chen Ziyou heard Wu Xu say this, but he hurriedly lowered his head and played with his nails as if he didn't hear it.

Wu Xu was suddenly stunned when he saw Chen Ziyou suddenly playing with his nails, and then laughed out loud as if he understood.

Chen Ziyou raised his head helplessly and looked at Wu Xu: "Lord Wu, do you Wei people like to trap friendly troops from your lips so much?" ”

Wu Xu stopped laughing, but the smile on his face was still strong: "I just didn't expect the person who defeated the Qin army to be so cute." ”

"Oh? What Lord Wu said is not right, although I Chen Ziyou has not been out for a long time, but I am Zhongshan Xiangguo, Lord Wu asked me to do this kind of thing of stealing chickens and dogs, which is really not in line with my identity. Chen Ziyou relaxed his body, leaned on the chair and said lazily.

Wu Xu stopped laughing, looked at Chen Ziyou seriously and said: "Chen Xiang's visit must be for the lord of the country, although Wu Xu doesn't know what Chen Xiang is asking for, but it must not be easy to think about, otherwise Chen Xiang would not have taken such a big risk to meet me." ”

Chen Ziyou finally changed his previous perception of Wu Xu at this moment, and Wu Xu was able to guess Chen Ziyou's approximate purpose from such a thing, which was really powerful.

"Master Wu guessed well, Ming people don't say secret words, I do have a request for King Wei. Okay, let's talk about the plan, it's impossible for me not to come to the big beam, Master Wu won't act, there must be a plan to bring down Wu Kui in his heart. ”

Wu Xu nodded: "I did have a plan before, but the risk is too high. My original plan was to secretly repair the book and send it to the border guards, secretly order them to raise troops, and enter Daliang under the banner of the Qing monarch. The guards on the border are all cronies of the first emperor, and they are guarded all the year round, and Wu Kui's hand will not stretch so far. ”

Chen Ziyou shook his head when he heard this: "This is the next policy, Wu Kui controls the military and political power, and regardless of whether the news leaks or not, just relying on the defenders in the girder and the checkpoints along the road of King Qin's soldiers and horses, it is even more difficult to enter the girder." ”

"That's right, so I also plan to repair the book and send it to South Korea to ask for the assistance of the Korean army." Wu Xu clenched his fists and said.

Chen Ziyou was shocked when he heard this, and asked other countries to send troops to help, so that the soldiers and horses of other countries could set foot on their own land, which is a big taboo! Wu Xu took such a big risk, which shows his determination to get rid of Wu Kui.

Wu Xu saw Chen Ziyou's face full of surprise, and he also spread his hands helplessly: "Xiaguan naturally knows the taboos, and he will not make such a decision unless he has to, after all, the Han Gong and the first emperor are old acquaintances, and Xiaguan also has a heart of luck." ”

Chen Ziyou fell into deep thought for a while, Wu Xu's plan was the next step, but there was still a possibility of success, could he come up with a better way?

After a long time, Chen Ziyou opened his mouth and said: "I have a plan here, but I want to confirm with Lord Wu again, most of the ministers in the DPRK and China are indeed held by Wu Kui, right?" ”

Wu Xu nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I'm sure!" ”

"That's fine."

......

Girder, Xiangguo Mansion.

Wu Kui was looking down at the secret report that had just been delivered in the study.

"Interesting, this Chen Ziyou actually hooked up with Wu Xu." Wu Kui narrowed his eyes after reading the letter and muttered.

Wu Kui has been wary of Chen Ziyou since he came out of the palace, and he doesn't believe that Chen Ziyou's purpose is really to borrow money as King Wei said. So he immediately sent someone to follow Chen Ziyou, and sure enough, after Chen Ziyou came out of the palace, he actually went to Wu Xu's house.

"My lord, do you want me to kill him?" A dark shadow slowly emerged from the shadows.

Wu Kui sneered and said: "A hairy boy who has just come out of the ranks was promoted to Xiangguo just because of the victory in a war, and Zhongshan seems to be no one, so it is not worth mentioning." Wu Xu and I have been wary of it for a long time, but it is a pity that his talent has never been able to be used by me. But after all, they are two pivotal figures, and the sudden violent death in Daliang will inevitably not arouse the suspicion of others, you can help me closely monitor Chen Ziyou, forgive him for not being able to turn the sky upside down! ”

The black shadow said respectfully, "Yes." ”

Wu Kui suddenly remembered something and asked, "Xu Zheng, the commander of the garrison at the head of the city, I asked you to check if he has any tricks, have you ever found out?" ”

"Yes. Xu Zheng himself is upright, but he gave birth to a son who is idle and is a famous swinger brother in the city. It was found that on the fourth day of December last year, Xu Zheng's son went to the Qinglou to prostitute himself, drunk and sexually abused, and actually abused a woman to death. Xu Zheng originally planned to send his son to the government to surrender, but his wife Baobao, the only seedling of the Xu family, only compensated Qinglou with one hundred taels of gold in the end. ”

Wu Kui smiled gloomily: "Hehe, Xu Zheng, this old horseman has been honest and fair for half his life, and I have always been difficult to catch his handle, but I didn't expect that the problem was my son in the end." In this way, soon even the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the garrison at the head of the city will be mine. ”

The shadow stopped talking, just stood quietly in the shadows.

"Okay, you step down, take care of Chen Ziyou, and tell me as soon as you have a situation." Wu Kui waved his hand at the black shadow.

The black shadow bent down and slowly retreated, and Wu Kui was now the only one left in the room.

Wu Kui didn't move for a long time, just looked at the candle flame on the table in a daze, and suddenly he laughed, the laughter became louder and louder, and his whole body began to tremble, and his face was full of madness.

"Soon I will be the King of Wei." After stopping laughing, Wu Kui's eyes were bloodshot.
