Chapter 22 King Yue is not long

The crisis within the Wu League is getting more and more serious, and the suspicion between the three hosts among the elders is becoming more and more obvious.

It was only from the mouths of some disciples of the Wu League that the internal affairs of the Wu League had not been peaceful in the past few days.

Wei Ziheng stood in the room and looked at the mountains in the distance, although these mountains were not towering, but they were undulating, slightly inferior to the high mountains of his hometown of Jin, but the scenery of this unique southeast group of mountains and rivers did make people sink a little.

Sun Qi slowly stepped forward, looked at Wei Ziheng and said, "What are you looking at?" ”

"The sun, moon and stars, rivers and seas." Wei Ziheng's head was still raised.

"The night has not ended, where is the sun, moon and stars, between these mountains, where are the rivers and seas?" Sun Qi stepped forward and said as he leaned shoulder-to-shoulder with his junior brother.

Wei Ziheng looked at his senior brother with a sideways face, and said with a somewhat resolute face: "As long as you have it in your heart, it's fine." For example, the king of a country can rule the whole country by giving orders from the high hall, and the commander of the three armies can only transfer troops in the camp tent, which is enough to win the battlefield. The sun, moon and stars, rivers and seas, although I have not seen them with my own eyes now, he has been my heart. ”

Sun Qi exhaled and said, "Are you homesick?" ”

Wei Ziheng was silent, standing quietly in place, letting the breeze blow his long flowing hair, her white clothes also moved with the wind, and the whole person looked majestic and a little radiant.

Sun Qi added: "If you think about it carefully, it seems that you have been away from home for ten years. ”

"Yes, it's been ten years. Don't say that the past ten years have passed quite quickly, the years of Qionglong Mountain are really too short. Wei Ziheng suddenly felt a little melancholy.

The two stood side by side, feeling the fluctuations brought about by the changes in the heavens and the earth, the dark clouds in the distance were about to pounce, and the previous breeze gradually became manic, and after a while, a burst of birdsong came, and the birds also returned to their respective eaves, and soon a burst of flying sand came from the distant side.

"Let's go, senior brother, it's going to rain."

"Okay."

………

At this time, in the palace of Huiji, the capital of the Yue Kingdom, the young and promising King Yue, Bu Shou, sat on the throne of the palace in luxurious Yue royal clothes, and a row of maids stood beside him, holding extremely soft screens in their hands, slightly agitating in the back.

Under the throne, several important monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom were reporting to their Yue King on their daily military affairs. Immortal, listen very carefully, and give the best solution, if there is something wrong, always actively discuss with their courtiers, after a while, these courtiers will also retreat.

The king of Yue did not live, under the protection of his own soldiers, returned to his palace residence, the palace of the Yue Kingdom in the re-renovation of the king of Yue, became larger than the scale of the palace of Wu in Gusu City in the past. There are not only palace pavilions, but also landscape fake stones, under the magnificent momentum, showing the characteristics of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Suddenly, a swordsman with a keen figure jumped down from the eaves and fell in front of King Yue Bushou, and said, "King Yue, there is news ahead." ”

"Stand down." King Yue did not live long, and drove away some unnecessary people around him as a king.

The swordsman slowly raised his head, revealing his very respectful face and said, "King Yue, Zhong Ren has come to report on the results of the Black Tiger Gang. ”

"Say it. How's it going? "The majesty of King Yue is still very strong.

Zhong Ren slowly straightened up, stood in front of King Yue, and said, "The Black Tiger Gang has won a great victory, and all the treasures of the former Wu Kingdom have been obtained. ”

When King Yue was not shou, after hearing the news, he said thoughtfully: "Okay, then let's do it as planned." Oh, by the way, Zhong Ren, you don't need to be so humble in front of me, the princes and nobles of this Manchu dynasty can perform in front of the widows, bow down, but you don't need to. ”

"The king is so loving, Zhong Ren may not be able to bear it." Zhong Ren said with some trepidation in his heart.

King Yue Bushou gently waved his sleeves full of kings, and then said very domineeringly: "You still gave me this life." You don't need to be like this, we need talents like you in Yueguo, since the death of the ancestor Goujian, in just a few years, the internal system of Yueguo has gradually loosened, and I must lead Yueguo to glory again with absolute power. But ......"

Zhong Ren immediately clasped his hands into fists, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said, "King Yue, rest assured, as long as there is still a breath in the Xia, I will still be loyal to King Yue." I am willing to go to the soup for the king, and I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life. ”

"No, no, don't ......" Bushou's expression gradually became a little complicated: "I have been in power for two years, but the power is still not in my hands, and I deal with some trivial things every day, and the power of those doctors is too high." ”

"This ......," Zhong Ren clearly recognized his position, and he said, "This is an internal matter of the state, and as a courtier, I should avoid it." ”

Bushou sighed slightly, and then said, "My father, I did some bad things before I was alive. As a result, the Yue Kingdom, which could have continued to rise in hegemony, is now so decentralized. I have to make a difference, but before I can do that, I need to have a group of people I can trust.

You are also one of my personal soldiers, and one of my close friends over the years, and I already knew that you were a man to be relied on before I even inherited the throne, but you were a pure swordsman after all. You can crisscross the rivers and lakes, and you can gallop thousands of miles, but this is the palace, and I still lack strength only by you and the group of people from the Black Tiger Gang. This doctor under the court, I think everyone seems to have a strange ghost in their hearts. ”

Zhong Ren seemed to be in a dilemma at this time, King Yue's words were obviously to let him express his opinions, but he didn't know about national affairs, he didn't have the slightest right to speak, he could only say like this: "Wang, forgive me for being incompetent, can't I give you some advice?" But there is a suggestion under the Prime Minister, on the side of the Prime Minister, don't move his position for the time being, otherwise it will arouse the opposition of some doctors, for the time being, it is better to wait for the opportunity, and you need to be patient enough. ”

"You said that Prime Minister, Luo Su, he is an old minister, with his current prestige, I think it is too difficult to bring him down. At present, there are no young talents in the DPRK and China for me to use. In this way, you can only look for talents from outside the court, I don't know that you have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, but you can hear about some talents. ”

Zhong Ren thought for a while and said: "There is a dome mountain outside Gusu City, and there is a well-known university scholar in the Jiangnan area, Mr. Sun Chi, on the mountain, he has three disciples, and now he has gone down the mountain, and two of them are currently in Wumeng. ”

"Mr. Sun Chi is the son of Sun Wu, the former minister of Wu State, and he has been admired for a long time. Presumably, the students he taught must also have some knowledge. I don't know if you can introduce it and see if it can be used by my country? Bushou looked at Zhong Ren with a serious face, and his eager expression made Zhong Ren a little overwhelmed for a while.

Zhong Ren sorted out his sentences for a while, and then said: "That's right, presumably King Yue already knows about this Sun Chi, although he is one of the founders of the Wu League, but now he has broken with the Wu League. Among his disciples, one was his own son, and the other was the younger brother of Chu Guozong, and the last one was a member of the Wei clan of the Northern Jin Kingdom. This Chu State native has already left Wu State first, as for his son and son, after all, he is a former citizen of Wu State, and it may be difficult to pull him to be loyal to the king. At that time, the clansman of Dr. Wei, I think the king can recruit it. ”

"His name is Wei Ziheng, right?" Fushou already knew some information about this person before.

"Yes."

"Jin people."

"This son is smart and studious, he has been extremely talented since he was a child, and he is already a rare peerless genius under Sun Chi's teaching, if the king has this idea, he can be taken captive." Zhong Ren took a step forward and asked.

As the king of the Yue Kingdom, he was thinking about some questions as a king at this time: "Recruiting talents, I have my own methods for this method, and you must not attack by force." By the way, how are you preparing for the matter of Wu Meng? ”

Zhong Ren responded: "According to the advice of the former prime minister Luo Su and the great doctor Hua Qiming, the attack on the Wu League is basically going according to plan, everything has been settled, just waiting for that day to come." ”

Bushou suddenly said with a little breeze: "Think about it carefully, this group of people has been established for decades since the establishment of the Wu League, why do they still refuse to give up?" Knowing that failure is already a doomed result. ”

"Maybe they have an obsession in their hearts, or maybe they feel unwilling and humiliated by the sudden decline of the state of Wu in the past. After all, there are always chaotic ministers and thieves in this world, and looking back at the past Wu Yue hegemony from now, it is obvious that the defeat of Wu has been established. Zhong Ren and his objective posture responded.

As the monarch of the Yue Kingdom, Bu Shou actually said so hypothetically: "You said that if the Yue Kingdom perishes one day, will his people fight back as hard as the current Wu League?" ”

Zhong Ren suddenly was a little speechless, he didn't know how to answer, if he just said, maybe it might be so unclear, I'm afraid that he couldn't stand the monarch with the majesty of the king in front of him, but it was obvious that King Yue Bushou's tone was obvious, he needed to get some answers from himself, and after thinking carefully for a while, he said: "This matter is actually very easy to answer, the sword in my hand, Yue Shui, was born in Yue Guo, no matter what the follow-up experience, he is a sword that belongs to Yue Guo." And now, as his sword bearer, I will one day lose me, and one day I will pass this sword into the hands of the next person. And this person he will also be a Yue people, we only grow on the land of China, drink the water of the Yue country, eat the food of the Yue country, and the immortal soul of the Yue country has been buried in the heart, as long as your people still love you, you trust you, and embrace you as the king, then the Yue country will not perish. ”

Bushou, hearing this, couldn't help but smile shallowly, he seemed to be expressing a heart, a kind of heart that had lived on the palace wall for a long time: "I can easily walk out of the gate of the palace and stand beside the group of small people in the market, but that group of people can't come into my palace to meet me." What do you say I should do? ”

"This .........," Zhong Ren was no longer willing to answer.

Suddenly, King Yue was not long, he stood up with his sleeves up, and said in an extremely heavy tone: "It's time for Yue Guo to change!" The journey of the old hegemony has ended, and the beginning of the new hegemony must set sail immediately. If you can't keep up with the times, then you will bring about your own destruction. ”
