Chapter 69: Li Dui is demoted
Autumn nights are colder and colder, especially in the middle of the night, and even if you wear a cloak and burn a bonfire, you still don't feel warm.
Han Chan'er tightened the cloak on her body, rubbed her eyes, and put the bamboo slip in her hand aside. She picked up the cup and put it to her lips, just about to take a sip of tea to moisten her dry lips, but when she raised her eyes, she saw that the child not far away was still looking at the book intently. It's just that the night was still too cold, and he shivered a little.
Seeing this, Han Chan'er felt a little soft in her heart, slowly got up and walked to the boy's side, trying not to block the light, took off her cloak, and draped it on the boy's body.
The boy was concentrating, although it was quite cold, but the crane did not sleep, and he naturally couldn't sleep, so he could only look at the book to pass the time. Unexpectedly, a burst of fragrant fragrance came, and then the whole body was warm, and a piece of clothing was draped on himself. He raised his eyes and saw Han Chan'er looking at him with a smile, which made him feel for a moment that the beauty of the whole world was concentrated on this woman. got up and wanted to excuse himself, but was pressed by Han Chan'er and said, "Wear it, it's cold." β
For some reason, the boy's eyes suddenly moistened, his nose fluttered, and something called tears flowed.
"What's your name?" Han Chan'er asked.
"Yu Xin" the boy blinked, holding back tears and said.
Inside the main hall.
"Sir's grand remarks really woke up the students." Zhao Yong looked at the smiling Crane Guanzi and said ashamedly. Although Que Guanzi said it implicitly, Zhao Yong knew in his heart that this was actually a person's normal psychology at work, from the cowardice and inferiority complex when he first came to the Warring States, he hoped to turn over with a little prestige and show that he could be so great, but he was still slapped in the face by reality.
Reality is not, you can't go from obscurity to invincible in the world, just like YY has been watching for a long time, and finally feels that the illusory world is beautiful, and it should be freed from that dirty reality as soon as possible. But that's not possible.
"The king has a wise root, but he is blinded by something and can't see clearly." The crane said quietly.
"The gentleman praised it falsely. In this way, I'm afraid that Lone will still be dormant for a while. Zhao Yong said with a wry smile.
"No, no, no." Que Guanzi shook his head and said, "In such a situation, the king has never given up lightly, but should respond well, otherwise, I am afraid that those forces in Handan City will stir up trouble again." β
Zhao Yong was stunned for a moment, and instantly came to his senses, yes, if he retreated, it would make those people feel that they had won, and when the time came, not to mention whether Feiyi and others could keep it, I am afraid that even his own preparations in the past few years would be overturned at one time.
On the boat of reform, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you retreat, you will be completely finished, and even take your life, even if you are the one above 10,000 people.
"The monarch has just returned from a big victory over Zhongshan at the moment, and he still has prestige, and he has done a lot of things to check and balance various forces before, and now, there is still an opportunity waiting for the monarch, why not make good use of it?"
Crane Guanzi looked at Zhao Yong, the latter thought for a while, his eyes lit up, he seemed to understand his intentions, and responded to the former with a smile.
Li Dui leaned against the earthen wall, raised his head, and saw through the thatch on the roof that the sky outside was very clear, like a pool of autumn water. The autumn breeze came as scheduled, and not only did he not feel refreshing, but he seemed to be a little cool.
He picked up the rubble on the ground, drew a horizontal line on the wall, and muttered, "It's the twenty-seventh." His stray hair had obscured his handsome face, but it matched the filthy conditions of the cell. Especially the smell of **, and the screams of the executed people in the distance can be heard from time to time.
If before he first came in, Li Dui still seemed panicked, and had a feeling of falling from the fairyland to the mansion, then now, he has adapted to the life of the underworld. What's more, there are also Zhao Cheng who ordered people to send some things from time to time, and these messengers will not do anything to him.
In the past few days in the prison cell of Si Koufu, he thought about it a lot, and seemed to understand the reason for his fate turn this time, and jumped out of the whirlpool of this matter, he saw it more clearly.
Yes, this is a conspiracy, and this matter has revealed strange things from the beginning.
A civilian, who actually knew to stop the dignified Zhao Guosikou's car to shout injustice, has to make people wonder, how did he recognize Feiyi at a glance from so many officials? And who gave him the courage to go to Si Ko to complain? And how did it disappear from the world?
Li Dui turned over and filtered these questions from his mind again, at this moment he was very sober and convinced that this person who complained was definitely not an ordinary civilian, and there must be someone behind him to guide him.
So who is going to the trouble to target themselves?
Fat righteousness?
Li Dui shook his head, not that it was impossible, but according to Feiyi's character, he would never do this. In the final analysis, Fei Yi is sleek and decisive, but he has a great sense of the overall situation. Zhao Yong delegated power to four people, and relied on Fei Yi to supervise the other three, this is a tacit understanding, he has also continued to analyze the situation of Zhao State to Zhao Cheng before, according to him, Zhao Yong hopes to establish a power structure of checks and balances, and Fei Yi will never dare to disobey Zhao Yong's ideas, because Zhao Yong's support is Feiyi's biggest political bargaining chip, Zhao Yong seeks stability, and Feiyi does not dare to seek danger. What's more, this incident also made Fei Yi into a commotion, if he sacrificed his political score in front of Zhao Yong for himself, then Fei Yi would be too naΓ―ve, not at all like the performance of a senior politician.
Zhao Bao?
Li Dui closed his eyes and thought slowly. It seems quite possible. However, Zhao Bao's biggest problem is that he has a grudge against Li Dui because of what is it, so that he does not hesitate to hurt his political image and eradicate himself? Li Dui asked himself that he was already very careful in doing things, Situ and Sikong Mansion also had a wide intersection, and he personally visited Zhao Bao for many things, and he was also respectful when he saw this big Situ, and he did not dare to delay the things he explained. I really can't figure out why, Zhao Bao will eradicate himself.
And it is to sacrifice his own right-hand man, this kind of hatred is simply too great, Li Dui asked himself that he would never have such a deep relationship with Zhao Bao, so Zhao Bao's suspicion was basically ruled out.
Then, there are only two people left, one is Zhao Cheng and the other is Wu Guang.
Wu Guang followed Zhao Yong to fight outside, could it be that he would remotely command his own forces and take revenge on himself to provoke the other three to fight among themselves? This possibility is very high, but there is one thing Li Dui can't understand, if it was really Wu Guang's doing, then what was the purpose of him making such a move at this time? Using the victory of the Northern Expedition to Zhongshan to elevate his already plummeting political status? Or provoke the three of them to infighting, thus causing Zhao Yong's dissatisfaction? None of them seem reasonable, and all of them are far-fetched.
Was it really an accident? Li Dui thought, and then he shook his head and told himself that if something goes wrong, it is a demon, especially in politics, the more normal things are, the bigger the conspiracy is hidden behind them.
But the people who can afford to play this kind of game are none other than these four people, who else is afraid that the world will not be chaotic?
But wait, Li Dui sat up suddenly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to him, and he muttered to himself: "Four people, four people." "There is too much information that has been hidden before, and the name of that person seems to be coming out. Although he has no evidence to prove that he did this, he has absolute reason to believe that this person must be safe!
"Where is Li Dui?" Just as Li Dui was about to uncover the truth, the cell leader's impatient voice sounded. He looked at Li Dui and couldn't help but scold: "I heard the silence and died?" As he spoke, he whipped him hard and prepared to whip Li Dui.
Just when he was about to make a move, there was a "slow" sound behind him, Li Dui looked up and found that this person was somewhat familiar, black armor and black cloak, there is only one place in Zhao Country where you can see such a costume, that is, the black-clothed army, King Zhao's descendant guard troops.
Li Dui's eyes lit up, the black-clothed army was looking for him, could it be ......
Just as he was about to ask something, the burly man had already entered the cell, looked at the down-and-out Li Dui, and said slowly: "There is an order from the king." β
When Li Dui heard that there was Zhao Yong's order, all the depression just now was swept away, and he knelt there in a hurry, raised his head to look at Zhao Yi, and said happily: "Obey!" β
Zhao Yi spread out the order personally issued by Zhao Yong in his hand, glanced at Li Dui, and slowly read: "... Money and grain is a major national matter, how dare you destroy the foundation of Zhao for centuries because one person is greedy for ink... Li Dui, as the chief judge of Xia Ji, was greedy for money and shielded Zhao Sui, which is really an unforgivable crime... However, because he once went to South Korea, he fought Confucianism and the demeanor of Zhao Guo... Li Dui is hereby ordered to move to the Jinyang Relics Division..."
Zhao Yi finished reading it, and then looked at Li Dui, his eyes were already empty, and he was really stunned.
Zhao Yi knew that he had been hit too hard recently, and he was arranged by Zhao Yong to Jinyang, an old and difficult area, and he must be unhappy. But he could only sigh, comfort him twice, and turn around and leave. Only Li Dui was left alone in the prison, lonely.
When Li Dui packed up his things and came out of Sikou's mansion, he could see a carriage parked on the road from a distance, and when he came out, the horseman hurriedly threw down his horsewhip and picked up his things for him. This person Li Dui is very familiar with, he is responsible for the horse maintenance work of the entire Sikong Mansion, and every time Zhao Cheng uses a car, he calls him by name, so Li Dui and him are not so strangers.
"Sir, are you out?"
"Well, I didn't expect it to be so fast." Li Dui looked at the groom and asked word by word, "Is the master at home?" β
"Sikong-sama is waiting for you." The groom replied truthfully. γ
Li Dui nodded, walked to the groom's car, glanced back at the signboard of Si Koufu, and planted a stubborn seed in his heart.
I swear I'll never come to this hellish place again! I promise!
Li Dui retracted his gaze, stepped into the carriage, and disappeared into the carriage.
