At this time, Wei Gao clearly heard that Zhang Fen, the general who accompanied him on the horseside, happily shouted to himself: "Congratulations to Wei Ling, after sealing Zen and Neizen, the military envoys returned the imperial court military power and edition books one by one, it is really peaceful in the world!" ”

Wei Gao almost vomited blood.

"Yisong, you!"

Similarly, Du You, who had just left the city to Lantian Station, heard about this series of coups in the court, and was so frightened that he hurriedly walked towards Shangluo Road, lest he be in a hurry.

Huaihai Province in the Beijing Concert Academy, huge raindrops continue to fall along the tile, connected into a curtain of rain, falling on the masonry of the corridor, reverberating endlessly.

Gao Yue looked at the misty rain and fog and was silent for a long time.

Although many people wanted to come to see each other off this time, Gao Yue refused all of them, and in the end, only Zheng Qi, the servant of the door, was present.

"Do you have a story to tell?" Zheng Qi sat on the couch and poured Gao Yue a glass of wine.

If it was Gao Yue before, he would definitely have an extraordinary look of pride, but now Gao Yue's face was full of loneliness, and after hearing Zheng Qi's words, he barely squeezed out a smile.

He sat down opposite, took the wine cup, and replied to Zheng Qi: "During my tenure in Huaihai, I sent big ships to the Wa Kingdom many times, and got some novel drama capital, among which there is a story that was told to me by a monk who crossed the sea, and I will tell you about it." ”

"Jiuyu is boring, but you don't have to be in a hurry like Wei Ling and Du Lingnan in the third year of high school, it's good to have a strange story to accompany the wine."

Gao Yue thought for a while, and then said: "I don't know what age it is, or it may be ancient, or it may be not long ago, of course, it may also be in the future, there was a homicide in the capital of the Wa Kingdom, a woodcutter who cut down a cedar tree, in the bamboo forest called Yamashina on the outskirts of Beijing, saw a corpse, the person was killed by a blade, blood splashed all over the bamboo leaves around, and in a panic, the woodcutter told the bad people of the Wa Kingdom Later, a monk who walked on his feet confirmed the woodcutter's statement, and he testified that the corpse was actually a samurai from the Wa Kingdom Ojichong Mansion, On that day he saw this warrior leading a horse and carrying his wife to the bamboo forest."

In the rain, Zheng Qi held the wine cup, listened to Gao Yue's narration carefully and quietly, and occasionally drank the best roasted spring, and continued to listen.

When Gao Yue slowly finished speaking, Zheng Qi put down the wine cup, looked at the rain in the courtyard, and felt that his body was even colder.

"What you are talking about is definitely not the Huaibei story you wrote before you took the Jinshi exam, that kind of story is for the purpose of solving the mystery case, but now this murder case in the bamboo forest of the Japanese country, obviously everyone has told the details so clearly, but the truth is never clear."

"Why?"

"Because in this murder, everybody, the woodcutter, the monk, the wife, and the robber, even the soul of the dead samurai, they all lied at the crucial point."

Gao Yue nodded, and then continued to ask Zheng Qi, "Why do you want to lie?" ”

"Lies are good for them." Zheng Qi finished answering without thinking, and then suddenly thought of something, first there was a long silence, so that only the sound of rain falling in the entire corridor was left, and then it was Zheng Qi's turn to speak, "When the new emperor is in Zen, why don't you and Wei Ling contact you and Wei Ling together?" ”

"Because for the new emperor, Wei Chengwu's price code is very clear, and the clearer a person's price code, the easier it is to reach an agreement. But my price, the new emperor is not sure, and he also suspects that the relationship between me and the emperor is very close, so he doesn't dare to take risks. ”

"But aside from Wei Ling and Du Lingnan, the new emperor still contacted you alone, didn't he?"

"That's right." Gao Yue took a slow sip of wine and admitted, "The new emperor is not sure about me, but it doesn't mean that he can leave my support, he is full of promises to Wei Gao, but also lies to Wei Gao." And now he thinks that he has found the right place for me, because I helped him sit in this position, Xingyuan, Fengxiang, Suining, and Hezhong returned the imperial court version at the same time, especially the Xingyuan Dingwu Army, which directly controlled the Kongdao in and out of Sanchuan in and out of Guanzhong, so I ruined Wei Chengwu's long-cherished dream! ”

Zheng Qi couldn't help but take a breath.

He knew best that Xingyuan Mansion was the gateway between Xichuan and Dongchuan, and what Wei Gao was thinking about was to get this portal.

With this portal, Wei Gao can become a dragon.

Without this portal, Wei Gao could only

"Who is the medium between you and the new emperor?"

"At this point, anyone can be a medium. Since the new emperor dared to rush out of the Shaoyang Courtyard in purple clothes and bast shoes in the night of the palace changes, and said to all the forbidden troops that there was an edict of inner Zen, then for him, there was no bet that he was reluctant to make. Gao Yue is also at the key point, and he is as secretive as deep.

"In the Qujiang Pavilion during the inner Zen time"

Gao Yue laughed rarely, "How dare Wei Gao and Du You kill me?" Although Wei Gao had an agreement with the new emperor, he still couldn't trust the imperial court, so he also lied to the new emperor, and he asked people to come to me privately, because he knew that Xingyuan and the Dingwu army were run by me, and he valued me more than the new emperor and the imperial court, and he offered me a very high price, including marriage, and also his willingness to support Huaihai Xingzhongshu Province and annex Jiangdong and Xu Si. ”

"You lied to him too." Zheng Qi understood, his eyelashes trembling, "What about Du You?" ”

"Du You is better to deal with, he doesn't have that much ambition, but he just wants to be the prime minister in the future, so let him be a good one."

"Is this a lie?"

Gao Yue lowered his head and laughed, without answering directly.

"Moreover, compared to Wei Gao and Du Youlai, the prime ministers also trust you more, as for whether there is a certain prime minister who also tells all kinds of lies to all kinds of people in this inner meditation, I am too tired to tell any more of them."

Hearing this, the depths of Gao Yue's eyes reverberated with imperceptible colors.

"However, in the end, you still lied to the Emperor." Zheng Qi was cold, but still chased after it.

Gao Yue's smile dissipated, his expression was a little sad, he didn't run away, "No, at the beginning, in Huayue, there were only three people in heaven and earth, the Emperor Taishang, you and me, I did say that I will always support the Tang family, never usurp, I have not broken my oath." And the new emperor's political system is exactly the pace that you, me, and the world want, but the person who sits in the Zichen Hall has changed his person, and the law used is 'Inner Zen', can you say that Inner Zen violates the law of etiquette? Can you say it's usurpation? No, so civilizing your accusations doesn't hold water. But in my own selfishness, really, really sorry for the emperor, this sin, I may not be able to redeem it until I die. ”

"Admittedly," Zheng Qi sighed, he was not disgusted by Gao Yue's method, perhaps this was the best and most appropriate plan after weighing, "Where can there be a few sages in this world?" From your story, I can understand how ugly and selfish the human heart is! But the reality is even more terrifying, you can actually use this extreme selfishness to achieve the grand public. It seems that the country needs you more than I am pedantic. ”

"No, on the contrary, when the country is reunited and great again, I will quit, and you will take over."

Zheng Qi looked at Gao Yue, and then nodded solemnly.

This kind of answer does not require any politeness.

Because he understood that Gao Yue's words were by no means a lie, and he couldn't lie to Gao Yue.

In the midst of countless lies and games, there will be one of the biggest truths that floats and is worth fighting for.
