The military department Shangshu looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was following him, he lowered his voice and said, "General, please come with me." ”

He took people to the study, lit the oil lamp, and Xie Yutang's appearance was exposed in front of the military department. I saw that his face was thin, his hair was messy, and under his eyes was obvious cyan-blue, which combined with the deep-sunken eye sockets, his eyes were even more aggressive. Although the clothes on his body were dirty, they did not damage his bearing at all.

Obviously, he was a death row prisoner who had just escaped from the prison, but Xie Yutang, who was standing there with his hands in his hands, still made the military department Shangshu dare not force him.

"General, do you want to eat something and change your clothes first?" The military department Shangshu lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly into the other party's eyes.

Xie Yutang pondered for a moment and bowed slightly, "You don't have to change your clothes, just send something over." ”

In the environment of the prison, it is already a blessing to have something to eat, not to mention that he is full, Xie Yutang, as a general, has been fighting abroad all the year round, and the amount of food is huge, and he has to be hungry almost every day in the prison, no wonder he is so haggard.

The military department Shangshu also thought of this, nodded his head in agreement, called his personal servant, and ordered, "You go to the kitchen and cook a few dishes, hurry up." ”

Although the servant was surprised by such an order as a late-night cloth, he didn't say anything in the end, and quickly went down.

"Why did the general come over at this time, the lower official really didn't expect it." The military department Shangshu was called up from the bed by Xie Yutang, but he didn't dare to complain.

"You said in your letter that the emperor was going to recruit troops from abroad, and General Ben felt that the time was ripe, so he naturally came out."

As he spoke, the servant had already brought the meal. There are hot roast duck, roast goose, and fragrant rice, all in all, very rich.

In order to cover up Xie Yutang's whereabouts, the military department Shangshu did not let the servants have direct contact with the other party, and ordered someone to arrange the food and send them away.

"General, let's get something to eat." The head of the military department made a gesture of please.

Xie Yutang was not polite and sat down directly. He was indeed hungry, but while munching on the roast goose, Xie Yutang thought of Chi Wan's appearance in the cell and couldn't swallow it, and the food in his mouth couldn't help but feel a little tasteless.

"What's wrong with the general?" The military department Shangshu had been paying attention to Xie Yutang, and when he saw this, he thought he was not satisfied, so he hurriedly asked.

Xie Yutang waved his hand, restrained his expression, lowered his head again and began to eat heavily, and soon, a table of food was swept away. The speed of the wind and clouds made the military department Shangshu couldn't help but be a little amazed, but he said, "Is the general full, and there is no subordinate to let people prepare." ”

"Alright, let's get down to business." Xie Yutang picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip with satisfaction, "I won't be out for too long this time, and I have to go back before dawn." ”

Otherwise, the cell boss found out that something would definitely happen to Chi Wan.

The military department Shangshu naturally knew about it, and consciously reported the current situation to him.

"The manpower we arranged pretended to be Chengguo people at the border, provoking every day, Your Majesty was really angry, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and recently posted notices outside to solicit capable people, although there is no effect yet, but according to our spies' observations, many people are ready to move, so it is a matter of time before they recruit people."

Xie Yutang rubbed the teacup thoughtfully, "What is the attitude of the imperial court towards Chengguo?" ”

"Many ministers were originally ready to talk about peace, but because our people provoked too much, they still spread the word that Chengguo would not accept peace, so that many ministers are now also on the side of sending troops."

Xie Yutang was very satisfied with this, and after pondering for a while, he asked the most important person on his trip, "How is the situation of King Chu now?" ”

"The prince was imprisoned alone in the side hall by His Majesty, there was no personal freedom, and no one was allowed to visit, at first His Majesty had murderous intentions against the prince, but at the critical moment, he received the war letter of Chengguo, and His Majesty temporarily put this matter on hold. Xia Guan thought that the prince was inside, and it was safe for the time being. "The report of the 1510 of the military department.

"What about the Nine Princes?" Xie Yutang also heard about the Nine Princes inside, and on the surface, the other party was on the same front as the emperor. If there is one more Nine Princes, the problem will be even more troublesome.

"The Ninth Prince rarely asks about the affairs of the imperial court, and His Majesty has recently let him go to the court, but the Ninth Prince has always been just an invisible person and does not talk much."

"He's self-aware." Xie Yutang narrowed his eyes slightly, "According to you, what is the attitude of the Nine Princes?" ”

The military department Shangshu hesitated a little, "This, forgive the official's clumsiness, I really can't see the mind of the Nine Princes clearly." ”

The Nine Princes have always indulged in mountains and rivers, and they don't love these powers, so they went out of the palace early to travel all over the world, and the courtiers are extremely unfamiliar with him, except for the people close to him, basically no one knows the specific character and hobbies of the Nine Princes.

Xie Yutang is not in a hurry, take your time, after a long time, you can always see clearly.

In this regard, Xie Yutang is very confident, he never thought that all this he arranged would fail, although the Nine Princes is a variable, but this variable is still within the controllable range.

Xie Yutang's distinct fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the sound of clicking echoed in the room, making people's hearts can't help but settle down. He seemed to be thinking about the problem, but in fact, the corner of his eye had been paying attention to the every move of the military department Shangshu.

The other party's fidgeting appearance was too obvious, so he couldn't help but ask, "What, what do you have to say?" ”

The military department Shangshu drank tea for a moment, then shook his head, and said duplicitously, "The lower officer has nothing to say." ”

The expression on Xie Yutang's face was obscure, and he stared at the military department Shangshu like that, and cold sweat oozed from the back of the military department Shangshu who looked directly, and he looked away carelessly, but his eyes were already darkened.

Seeing this, the heart of the military department Shangshu couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, this General Xie is very reused by the King of Chu, and he can be called a ghost talent, and there are many unpredictable methods. Although the military department Shangshu is disgusted with what the son of today does, he would choose to surrender to the king of Chu, why is there no reason for Xie Yutang?

He didn't think that the emperor, who was now isolated and helpless, would be the opponent of King Chu and Xie Yutang.

The emperor can't even guarantee that everyone will return to their hearts, let alone rule the world. And his human nature is too cold and cruel. Dongxuan will definitely not be the best choice in the hands of such a person.

Thinking of this, the military department Shangshu stood up and bowed to Xie Yutang.

"What are you doing, sir, please get up quickly." Xie Yutang's eyes crossed with a hint of surprise, and he held the arm of the military department Shangshu.

But the military department Shangshu was obviously determined to put pressure on Xie Yutang, pursed his lips tightly and did not move, "General, now that the country is in turmoil, the monarch is not the king, the minister is not the minister, the general and the prince, can we end the turmoil and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world." ”

Xie Yutang's face gradually became solemn, he straightened his waist, and put his hands between his sleeves, "This is nature, the prince cares about the world and serves the country and the people." I am Dongxuan's sword, and I swear allegiance to Dongxuan. ”

"In this way, the old minister also swears allegiance to the general and the prince." After getting a satisfactory answer, the military department Shangshu put his hands on his forehead and handed over his loyalty.

Looking at the military department Shangshu who was prostrate on the ground, Xie Yutang knew that this time, the other party was completely on the side of the King of Chu.

After the military department was helped up, the two of them could be regarded as talking openly. The military department Shangshu no longer hid his worries, "General Xie, the lower officials are a little worried about Chengguo. ”

In the final analysis, they borrowed the momentum of Chengguo this time, although it was a temporary solution to the crisis, but it also made Chengguo see the relevant problems of the imperial court.

In essence, the military department Shangshu chose to stand on the side of the king of Chu because he hoped that Dongxuan would be peaceful, but if he put the imperial court in a more difficult situation because of this, then he would definitely feel guilty and would not forgive himself.

"Yes, Chengguo has been eyeing us since the beginning, this is a well-known thing, and it is not a secret." Xie Yutang said it lightly.

The military department Shangshu was startled, stood up suddenly, sweat beads continued to appear on his forehead, and he was at a loss, "This ...... How good is that? ”

The imperial court is now an empty shell, bright on the outside, but a rotten mess on the inside, and it is not capable of fighting at all.

The secretary of the military department was in this position, and he was very clear about the situation in the imperial court, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he had already given birth to a retreat, and his chapped lips snorted, "General Xie, let's stop." ”

Xie Yutang's fierce eyes swept towards him, "Do you think it's useful to stop now?" Chengguo is not a clay figure to be kneaded. ”

These words were like a basin of cold water poured down in the air, and the military department Shangshu was cold, and he seemed to have imagined that a few years later, he would be called a traitor in history.

"That'...... So what to do? The military department Shangshu looked at Xie Yutang blankly, obviously losing his opinion.

Xie Yutang raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "Your Excellency, you don't need to worry, we are all for the good of the court and the people, and General Ben will definitely not let your adults fall into the situation of crusade by everyone." ”

The military department Shangshu froze, and looked at the other party with a complicated expression, "General Xie has already thought about it?" ”

"It's not counting, the ambition of becoming a wolf is no longer a matter of one or two days, it has long had the intention of capturing our country." Xie Yutang analyzed the situation little by little.

"Although this is the case, because we don't know the situation in our country, Chengguo is a little jealous, but this time we have exposed all our chips in front of them." Bingbu Shangshu raised his voice suddenly, and his tone was full of questioning.

Xie Yutang snorted noncommittally, with mockery in his eyes, "My lord, do you really think that Chengguo is not clear?" ”

The military department was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Xie Yutang meant.
