Chapter 178: Assassination

Chen Yue knew that he had caused a lot of trouble and offended a lot of people, but he had just made a great contribution, even if the court did not reward him, there was absolutely no reason to reduce the guilt, how could it be a catastrophe, I am afraid that this Wang Yin was not angry with the downfall of his employer Zhou Yanru, and deliberately alarmist and scared himself.

"The opening of the honeycomb coal yard monopolized the entire Jingshi and took away the jobs of countless people. In Fangshan, he framed the gentry for collaborating with the enemy, so as to seize the gentry's property, and the troops entered Xishan to occupy all the coal mines, and relied on force to seize countless wealth. Lord Chen Yue Chen, most of the Xishan Coal Mine was opened by the Jingshi Xungui and the father-in-law in the palace, Lord Chen, tell me yourself, how much have you offended the eunuchs in the palace of the civil officials and nobles in Beijing? If one day you have a slight setback, such as a defeat, and the civil officials and nobles rise up to attack, I am afraid that Your Majesty will take you first, and the former supervisor Yuan Chonghuan is your end! Wang Yin sneered.

Damn, if you heard about my proposal to Chongzhen yesterday, it is estimated that I will finish it soon, Chen Yue said secretly in his heart. But he couldn't refute Wang Yin's words, because he knew that he had really offended too many people.

"As the saying goes, those who are too rigid are easy to break, those who are good and soft are undefeated, and when things are blindly rampage, they don't know how to be flexible, which will only accelerate their defeat.

Lord Chen, your talent is undoubted, what you lack is only the experience of officialdom and the wisdom of interacting with people, if you can pay attention to these and change them, he will become a great tool one day, and he can be the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Wang Yin looked at Chen Yue with a serious expression, but his words were full of earnestness and kindness, just like a teacher's bitter teaching to his favorite disciple. Chen Yue heard the sincerity and concern for himself from his tone, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

"Mr. Wang, aren't you Inspector Zhou's staff? It stands to reason that I and Inspector Zhou are enemies, why are you saying this to me? Chen Yue asked.

"I am only a member of Inspector Zhou's staff, not his subordinates or domestic servants. When Inspector Zhou was an official, I was supposed to work for him and give advice, but now that he has been dismissed, I have regained my freedom. Maybe you have a holiday with Inspector Zhou, but the two of us are not enemies, on the contrary, I admire your repeated defeats and actions to save the people, and I can't bear that you have made a mistake because of your youth, so I persuade you with good words and one or two, and please don't care, Lord Chen. Wang Yin said lightly.

"So ask Mr. Wang, what should I do in the future?" Chen Yue bowed his hand and asked for advice. The current Chen Yue is like Liu Bei who has not met Wolong, he only knows that he is on a rampage, and he basically has no plan for the future. In addition to knowing a little about the general trend of history, Chen Yue asked himself that his insight ability was also a good asset, and he desperately hoped that a wise man could point out the direction for him.

"Lord Chen, Mr. Wang, you can talk slowly here, I still need to go to the church." Seeing that the two gradually talked about private topics, John Tang, who had become a refiner, left the pavilion with a playful farewell.

"Dare to ask Lord Chen's ambition?" Wang Yin did not answer Chen Yue's words, but asked.

Ambition? Chen Yue was suddenly confused, where did he have any ambitions, when he first crossed, he just wanted to be able to eat three meals a day, and then earn some money to escape to the south to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to spend this life safely. Later, inspired by his father Chen Jianghe, he came up with the idea of being loyal to the country, so he recruited trainers, and only later became an official by chance, and became bigger and bigger by beating Tartar officials. But when it comes to ambition, Chen Yue is still a little vague.

"What? Isn't it hard to say? Wang Yin asked again.

"As a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, my ambition is naturally to eliminate the Mantar thieves and help me to protect the Ming Dynasty!" couldn't think of a specific one, Chen Yue had to say, at least this ambition is politically correct.

"Well, this ambition is very ambitious, just like the literati often say that the Qi family rules the country and the world," Wang Yin praised casually, "but it is still too general." Let me ask you, do you choose to be like the former Song Yue Wumu, with the expulsion of the Manchu Tartars as your life ambition, regardless of personal honor and disgrace, or are you willing to be Cao Cao, in order to protect the Han Dynasty, I would rather bear people than let others bear me, and be a powerful minister in troubled times? ”

"Cao Cao is a traitor! How can a gentleman make a metaphor for him? Chen Yue said dissatisfiedly.

"Cao Cao is a traitor? But he assisted the Han family, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan were ambitious and self-reliant. As for the usurper of the Han Dynasty, that was Cao Pi's behavior, what did it have to do with Cao Cao? Wang Yin's tone was flat, but he said words that were almost rebellious, but a pair of bright eyes kept staring at Chen Yue.

this

Chen Yue looked at Wang Yin hesitantly, unable to figure out the purpose of his question, was the enemy sending him here, in order to seize his handle and kill himself? But there are only two of them here, even if they say something, no third person hears it, and there is no recording equipment in this era, even if they say something, who can prove it?

"Although Yue Wumu has been famous for thousands of years, and his loyalty and patriotism have been admired for generations, he is just loyal after all, and he only acts against me. And Cao Cao obviously has the strength and ambition to usurp the Han, but he has never moved to protect his reputation, and he has to let his son bear the reputation of the rebel, which is even more disdainful. If I am Yue Fei, I will not obey the orders of the imperial court to return to the division, even if there are twelve gold medals urging, I will wave my army to the north to enter Kaifeng, and then enter Hebei and approach Youzhou, as long as I can expel the Jin soldiers and restore the Han rivers and mountains, what can I do if I am infamous for disloyalty? Chen Yue lowered his eyelids and said lightly.

"As long as you can expel the Jin soldiers and restore the rivers and mountains of the Han people, what can you do if you are infamous for disloyalty?" Wang Yin muttered and repeated Chen Yue's words, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Wang Yin is not talented, I am willing to follow the side of the adults to give advice, and do my best to defeat the Han people who are Manchu and protect me!" Wang Yin stood up and bowed to Chen Yue to the end.

Yes? Chen Yue was stunned for a moment, the style of painting changed too quickly, at the beginning he said that he was in a big disaster, why did he suddenly bow his head and go to himself?

"I don't know why Mr. is like this?" Chen Yue hurriedly supported Wang Yin and asked suspiciously.

"The Mantars are ravaging tigers and wolves, civil officials are greedy and only know infighting, military generals are afraid of death and fear the enemy like tigers, and my people have suffered too much. Wang Yin is not talented, since he came out of the mountain, he has taken it as his wish to expel the Manchu Tartars to protect my Han people, but unfortunately Zhou Yanru will only fight inwardly and fear the enemy like a tiger, and Wang Yin's protection is not human. can look at the good generals of Wenchen all over, but there is no one who can assist. Only Lord Chen, you, are not afraid of strong enemies and fought bravely, and have made great achievements, if you have the ability to fight against the Tartars, it must be Lord Chen! But Lord Chen, your previous behavior really disturbed me, so I probed each other with words. ”

"Did you get the result of the temptation?" Chen Yue asked, still confused.

"Naturally, judging from the results, you are not a pedantic person, and you also know the truth of change. If you have the ability to use force and know how to be flexible, you will have the possibility of achieving great things. Since Wang Yin follows the adult, he naturally hopes to follow the adult to achieve some achievements, and does not want to leave with the fall of the adult in a few years. ”

"Oh? Then what did you say, Yue Fei, and why did Cao Cao? Chen Yue asked again.

"Because Wang Yin doesn't want the proprietor to assist him is Yue Fei, who only knows loyalty, so although he has a good reputation, it is not beneficial to the country and the people, if you can really destroy the Manchu Tartars, what if you usurp the Ming Dynasty?" Wang Yin said lightly.

"Sir, don't talk nonsense? I, Chen Yue, will never do anything rebellious! Chen Yue hurriedly said, damn, I casually said that I wouldn't learn from Yue Fei, but I was misunderstood by this Wang Yin that he had the heart of a chaotic minister and a thief, but in fact he didn't have it at all, compared with Mantar and Li Chuang, he was a scum, where was there a trace of usurpation.

"Huh." Wang Yin made a tacit expression and stopped talking about this topic.

"Mr. Wang, what should I do in the future?" Chen Yue asked again.

"Leave the Beijing Division and support the troops with self-respect!" Wang Yin said eight words lightly.

If you leave the Beijing Division, you will definitely have to leave, and Chongzhen will not let yourself be an official in the Beijing Division, but the self-respect of the army is a little too much, does this Wang Yin want to encourage himself to rebel?

"Lord Chen, you have set up too many enemies in the court, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole dynasty is an enemy." Wang Yin said.

"And one or two friends." Chen Yue muttered, he thought of Li Banghua, who had been helping him, and Wu Mengming, the new commander of the Jinyi Guard.

"Lord Chen, you seem to have infinite scenery now, but in fact, there are flaws everywhere, and it is only because you have just made great achievements and have been appreciated by the emperor that no one has touched you. But as long as someone can't bear it, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty will surely rush up and eat you like a scavenging vulture. Wang Yin continued.

"How can it be so serious?" Chen Yue couldn't help but shout.

"The income of tens of thousands of taels of honeycomb coal in a month, and the income of hundreds of thousands of taels of Xishan Coal Mine every year, these originally belonged to many forces in Jingshi, but you snatched this piece of fat from other people's mouths. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents, no, the hatred is greater than killing your parents, do you know how many people in this Jingshi want to put you to death? You are the one before, why did Zhou Yanru target you everywhere? Isn't it just that you robbed the business of his side's strength! At that time, there was a second assistant Chen Yan who used you for the position of first assistant, so that you can stay free until now. But now that Zhou Yanru has left his post, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military plus the noble inner palace, there are too many people who want your life. Think about it for yourself, if you continue to stay in Jingshi, what will happen to you? Even if those people can't deal with you openly, but secretly, can you guarantee that you can dodge the guns and arrows? Wang Yin continued.

Wang Yin's words made Chen Yue only feel cold all over his body, "The palace has never been a place where you can keep secrets" When he saw Chongzhen leave, Wang Chengen's words to himself were recalled in his ears again, if the conversation between himself and Chongzhen really spread, I am afraid that what Wang Yin said would happen nine times out of ten.

"But the emperor hasn't issued an edict yet, and my new official position hasn't been settled yet?" Chen Yue hesitated.

"Since the emperor has summoned you, and there will naturally be a holy decree issued in the near future, what is the difference between you in the city and outside the city? As long as you hide in the barracks, hold thousands of soldiers in your hands, and have self-respect, these people will naturally have a lot of scruples, at least there will be no more hidden arrows. Open gun, with your military exploits a few days ago, the court will at most send you far away to the border, and will not shout and shout to kill against you, as long as there are soldiers in your hands, it is your greatest reliance. Zuo Liangyu, the general of the thief, fears the enemy like a tiger, has been defeated repeatedly, and has brutality and harm to the people, but he has more than 100,000 troops in his hands, and even the emperor has nothing to do with him, so he can only increase his official position and promote him to envelop him, for fear of forcing him to the side of the thieves. ”

"I'm gone, but what about my family? My father is still working in Beijing! Chen Yue asked again.

"As long as you are safe, no one dares to move Ling Zun, after all, no one dares to offend a general with thousands of private troops, afraid of your revenge!" Wang Yin said lightly.

"What Sir said is very true, I will leave the city and go out of the city to the barracks, will you go with me now, sir?" Chen Yue asked.

"I still have to arrange things at home, you go first, and I'll go to meet you tomorrow." Wang Yin said.

Chen Yue nodded, got up and left here, and when he passed by the church, Tang Ruowang stopped Chen Yue with a smile and officially introduced his son Pan Xuezhong to him.

"Master Chen, I have already agreed with Pan Xuezhong that he will go to your jurisdiction in Xishan instead of me, please take him with you when you leave." John Tang said.

"Lord Chen, please take care of me in the future!" Pan Xuezhong bowed to Chen Yue and smiled shyly.

"Okay, Brother Pan can come, the official is very happy, you clean up first, and I will send someone to lead you to the barracks another day." Chen Yue agreed with a smile.

After chatting with Tang Ruowang and Pan Xuezhong for a while, Chen Yue immediately said goodbye and left. Tang Ruowang saw that Chen Yue was in trouble, and he didn't keep much.

Out of Tang Ruowang's house, Chen Yue walked quickly towards his home, at this moment there were only Chen Yan and a personal guard named Yan Chenghao by his side, because the blacksmith alley and Tang Ruowang's church were very close to home, the three of them did not ride horses, nor did they wear armor, and they only had a short soldier on their bodies.

As long as you return home, gather the guards in the house, and ride a war horse to go out of the city immediately, then it will be safe!

From Tang Ruowang's house, he went to Xuanwumen Street, walked more than a mile to the north, turned into an alley, and crossed the alley into a side street, which was Chen Yue's new home. Not long after walking into the alley, I suddenly saw a group of people coming over, led by Wu Liang.

"Boss!" Seeing Chen Yue, Ma Pole shouted in surprise and led people to greet him.

Chen Yue greeted him with a smile, there is a hemp pole Wu Liang to lead people here, at least the way home is safe.

"Boss, be careful!" Suddenly, Wu Liang, who was following the hemp pole, shouted loudly, and Chen Yue was suddenly taken aback! Then I saw a person stabbed Wu Liang in the back of the heart, and Wu Liang screamed and fell to the ground.

ps: 4,000 words, lazy score into two more. I caught a cold and felt uncomfortable!
