Yang Jun frowned and thought for a while: "There is some truth in what you said, it is impossible for you to kill the emperor and the concubine." At most, he killed Guo Mian. Is it really Guo Xu's doing? That's outrageous, too. Once this kind of thing spreads, Guo Xu will be infamous through the ages. Why did he do that? ”

Lu Zhongtian said: "The old man doesn't think so, he may have been depressed for too long, and he can't control himself when he sees blood." Now it's important how to deal with the aftermath. The emperor and the crown prince are dead, and the world will be in chaos when the news spreads. As important ministers, you and I should deal with the aftermath. So I can only come to you to consult. ”

Yang Jun sneered: "Looking for me? What if I say I want to avenge the emperor? Guo Xu did such a beast trip, how could Da Zhou tolerate him? You are an accomplice, on the same charge. You've come to me, you're looking for the right person. If you don't look for me, I will go to you, I will take you for questioning and avenge the emperor. Avenge the Queen Mother. There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door in hell for you to break into. Hehe, Lu Zhongtian, your time of death has arrived. ”

Yang Jun spoke viciously, the long sword in his hand trembling slightly, and it roamed near the left of Lu Zhongtian's throat. Lu Zhongtian was not so frightened that he was urinating, but his face suddenly became serious.

"Lord Yang, if you want to kill the old man, even if you do it, the old man dares to come to you, and if he dares to tell you the truth, he is not afraid of life and death. However, the old man has a few words to remind Yang Shumi. Lu Zhongtian said lightly.

Yang Jun sneered: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Lu Zhongtian said: "Yang Shumi, this is a civil strife between the Guo royal family, we are all courtiers, although these things don't want to happen, but since they have happened, we have to face them." You can kill me, but what about after you kill me? How should you? Led troops into the palace and killed King Huai? And then what? Do you want to be the emperor yourself? ”

Yang Jun said coldly: "Hugh is spewing blood, I, Yang Jun, have no intention of stealing the country, are you Lu Zhongtian when I am Yang Jun?" ”

Lu Zhongtian nodded and said, "Of course, the old man knows that you, Yang Shumi, are loyal to the Guo family and have no intention of winning the world. Even if you try to, you won't succeed. Do you think your soldiers and horses will support you as emperor? You're afraid it's wishful thinking. You can mobilize them to fight for the Great Zhou, but you may not be able to command them to betray the Great Zhou royal family. As long as you steal the heart of the country all your life, you will not be far from death. The old man also understands this truth, the world belongs to the Guo family after all, and no one can take it away. Although Guo Xu killed the crown prince, causing the emperor to die in a hurry, Guo Xu is the only son of the emperor after all, and only he can be enthroned as the emperor. If you lead your army into the palace and kill him, then who will you promote? Could it be that you are going to nominate Guo Bing or Guo Kun? If you are stained with the blood of the Guo family, from now on, you will be charged with a great crime, do you think they will still trust you? You are digging your own grave. ”

Yang Jun frowned and groaned, glaring at Lu Zhongtian without saying a word.

Lu Zhongtian knew that his words had worked, so he continued: "The old man knew that this matter shocked Yang Shumi's heart. But can Yang Shumi think about it? Originally, we were going to nominate Guo Xu as the crown prince. The emperor has set up Guo Mian, and Guo Mian will ascend the throne as emperor in the future, and you and I will be snubbed or punished. I can't help it

Head to the ground. Although Guo Xu behaved inappropriately, isn't this exactly the result you and I wanted in the first place? Do you want heads to hit the ground? I want you to be exterminated? ”

The sword in Yang Jun's hand left Lu Zhongtian's throat a few inches, a detail that even he was unconscious, but in Lu Zhongtian's opinion, this was the beginning of success.

"Yang Shumi, after all, this matter is the Guo family's internal strife, and it is best for you and my foreign ministers not to get involved in it. No matter how big a mistake Guo Xu makes, it is not something you and I can judge by me. You may think that Guo Xu is acting too much, but if Guo Mian ascends the throne, do you think he will allow Guo Xu to survive? So in a different place, Guo Xu actually did this for some reasons. In fact, these are also common in all dynasties. At that time, Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change was spurned and criticized by people afterwards, but now, who doesn't say that Li Shimin is a generation of holy kings, comparable to the wise emperor of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty. But didn't he also kill his brother and force Li Yuan to abdicate? As far as humanity is concerned, this may not be the case. But for the whole country, this is not a benefit. If there was no Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Rebellion, in the hands of Li Yuanji, would Li Tang still have the rule of Zhenguan in later generations? Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice.

The sword in Yang Jun's hand slowly moved away, his face thoughtful.

Lu Zhongtian continued to say softly: "The old man's words may be a little biased, and some are partial and comprehensive, then Li Yuanji may also be able to create a prosperous era, but that is only possible after all." And Li Shimin's exploits can be proven and praised by the world, who can deny this? Guo Xu may not be as good as Li Shimin, but how is Guo Mian compared? If Guo Mian ascends the throne as emperor, will it be good or bad for the Great Zhou? ”

Lu Zhongtian's words were all in the weakness, and every sentence focused on Yang Jun's key points. Yang Jun withdrew his long sword and lowered his head in deep thought.

Lu Zhongtian slowly approached and whispered in Yang Jun's ear: "Supporting Guo Xu as the emperor is the best choice, and it is also the only choice." Besides, before I came, Guo Xu told me that if you are willing to continue to support him, he will be grateful. Guo Xu said that with Yang Shumi's merits, he can be crowned king. When he ascends the throne, he will make you king, and he will continue to put you in charge of the Privy Council. And give you the right to self-dictate military affairs, so that you can let go of the military and show your ambitions. The old man heard that you have a granddaughter in the family, who is fifteen years old, and the old man is willing to match it and let your granddaughter marry Guo Xu. Guo Xu's wife Qin is not virtuous, and after ascending the throne, she will make your granddaughter the queen, so that we will kiss each other. You don't have to worry about my relationship with Guo Xu being excluded. What do you think? ”

Yang Jun sat in the hall in a daze, seemingly hesitant, but in fact, he had already made up his mind in his heart. After suspecting that Guo Xu's usurpation of the throne was proven, Yang Jun's first reaction in his heart was definitely not to kill Guo Xu and avenge the emperor and the crown prince. Guo Xu's ascension to the throne was the result he had always hoped for, and even he had considered the possibility of Guo Xu's usurpation. But he didn't expect Guo Xu to really dare to do this, and he was extremely resolute.

In fact, there were not many options left for Yang Jun, or he would kill Guo Xu under the banner of avenging the emperor and the crown prince. Then either support the king of Liang, or pull the flag and rebel himself. However, neither of these things was what he wanted to do. For him, this is all extremely risky. He was unwilling to let King Liang's father and son benefit from the fisherman, and second, he did not want to bear the name of rebellion. So, for him, the best result is tantamount to acknowledging the result and going with the flow.

But he can't say nothing, expressing his support for Guo Xu will greatly damage his reputation. Guo Xu's behavior is also outrageous and unacceptable. But if you have the right conditions and you can make up for it, why not? If you can really get the title of king, and you can be self-dictated in military affairs, and your granddaughter will become Guo Xu's queen again, then you will be powerful and worry-free.

"Yang Shumi, what should be said, the old man has already said. Time is of the essence and cannot be delayed. But please let Yang Shumi decide with a word. If Yang Shumi is unwilling, he can kill the old man immediately, raise troops into the palace, and try what the future result will be. The old man put his words here, and you will definitely not end well if you do that. Please also hurry up and make a decision, don't hesitate to learn from women's Taoism, this is not the style of people who do big things. Lu Zhongtian further stimulated Yang Jundao.

Yang Jun stared at Lu Zhongtian and said, "How does the old man know that you didn't coax me and cross the river and tear down the bridge afterwards?" How can I believe your words? ”

Lu Zhongtian smacked his lips and said: "A gentleman's words, a quick horse, when it comes to this, you still don't believe it, how about teaching the old man?" The old man came at the risk of being killed by you, isn't this sincerity? ”

Yang Jun shook his head and said, "Lu Xiang is not a gentleman, even if he is a gentleman, he is a hypocrite. Let's not make a gentleman's agreement, we have to say ugly things in the head. You make a note, write down the conditions you say, and draw them with your handprints. In the future, if you unload the mill and kill the donkey and turn your face and deny it, I will publish this note to the world, so that you will die without a place to be buried. To die, let's die together. ”

Lu Zhongtian scolded angrily: "You Yang is extinct, it's just ruthless, and you still have so many hearts." ”

Yang Extinction is a disdainful term for Yang Jun in private by scholars and doctors, satirizing the 'extermination order' he imposed in Western Xia to exterminate humanity. Yang Jun himself has heard of this nickname, but no one has ever scolded him like this in person.

"Old horseman! How good can you be? Your heart has more eyes than the stars in the sky, how much better are you than Lao Tzu? I don't believe you. Yang Jun jumped to his feet and scolded.

Lu Zhongtian's face turned pale, and he scolded in his mouth, and suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Take it!" ”

Yang Jun said: "What? ”

"Pen and paper, don't you ask for a note? I don't give the paper and polish the ink to the photo. Lu Zhongtian scolded.

Yang Jun took a sip, turned his head to find a pen and paper inkstone, but he didn't want to be stiff at this time, so he really sharpened the ink himself. Lu Zhongtian dipped his pen in ink, brushed and wrote down the note, pressed his fingerprint, and almost threw the note on Yang Jun's face. After writing, he turned around and left.

Yang Jun carefully dried the handwriting, folded it and carried it in his arms. I heard Lu Zhongtian, who had walked to the door, turn around and shout: "Please Yang Shumi immediately mobilize troops and horses, block the gates of the whole city, and implement a curfew." Early tomorrow morning, you and I will jointly issue an edict in the name of the emperor and summon the ministers to the palace. Then you will have to go with me. If anyone raises doubts, or opposes, or spreads rumors, they will be arrested in their homes. Within three days, King Huai must ascend the throne and stabilize the situation. After that, slowly settle accounts with certain people. ”

Yang Jun nodded and said, "Don't worry." But the old man had to go into the palace to see the emperor. The emperor died, as an old minister, how could he not go to see him. ”

Lu Zhongtian chirped: "It's disgusting. ”
