Chapter 574: Han and Thief Do Not Stand Together
No one knows what the future holds, and at this time, no one can tell, and no one can predict the prophet.
However, Yan Chengwu remembered a person who was an unknown prophet.
He couldn't help but take out a letter, in the letter, it was Fang Wucai's own handwriting, he told himself that His Majesty still had a catastrophe, and the Hu people had to fight to the death, and he even told Yan Chengwu that he would not say goodbye, in order to decide the fate of Yan and find a way out for Da Yan.
The key to victory or defeat lies in Da Chen.
When Yan Chengwu saw this letter for the first time, his reaction was ridiculous.
This Fang Wucai, who is still fooling himself at this time, is really enough, but now, I still thought that I would believe him, the corners of Yan Chengwu's mouth hooked up coldly, revealing a look of disgust, he crumpled the letterhead into a ball, and he couldn't wait to immediately break the owner of the letterhead into pieces.
But when the bad news came, he urgently ordered the eunuch of the Divine Palace to find this letterhead in the garbage heap, and he read it again, and then he realized that he had misunderstood Mr. Fang.
He couldn't help but sigh, he never expected that he was so stupid and doubted Mr. Fang.
"Hey......" he sighed, a mouthful of white mist came out of his mouth, and when he went out of the city, he looked back at his Yanjing City, this tall city wall, there are his own subjects, there are bits and pieces of his life, and most importantly, his ancestors and ancestors, the temples of Dayan, and the mausoleums of the emperors of the past dynasties are all here.
In the distance, the thin ice that used to float on the surface has long melted, and at this time, across here, on the stone bridge connecting the two banks, there are already black figures longing, endless military horses, crossing the river, towards the west, and going away.
……………………
In the evening, Chen Kai went down the mountain, took two guards, and set off in a hurry, waiting for him to arrive at King Zhao's mansion.
In front of the Zhao Palace, there were already cars and horses, and there was an endless stream of guests, and several neatly dressed people greeted guests at the gate of the mansion.
The brilliant lights illuminate the entire Zhao Wangfu, a precious carpet is spread at the entrance of the mansion, extending to the main hall of the mansion, under the illumination of the lights, it is particularly dazzling.
This pomp can be imagined as King Zhao's purpose.
He also hoped that Prince Batu would give him a little color.
Chen Kaizhi shook his head slightly, and secretly told himself in his heart that he should not think of people so insidiously, think so insidiously, he became more and more uncomfortable.
Waving away the complicated emotions in his heart, he stepped forward and handed over the name card and invitation, and when the person who welcomed the guests saw it, he immediately smiled and waved at Chen Kaizhi: "It turned out to be General Chen, disrespectful, disrespectful." General Chen, His Royal Highness King Zhao has been waiting for a long time, please, please take it. ”
Chen Kaizhi followed him in, there are countless pavilions and pavilions here, although there are a lot of guests, it is very noisy, but somehow, Chen Kaizhi still feels empty.
At this time, a bright moon is in the sky, and the bright moonlight and the lights of the palace are reflected, making the Zhao Wangfu more and more brilliant, like day.
Chen Kaizhi followed the people to a temple, and here, laughter was heard from afar.
Chen Kaizhi didn't smile at all, he found that he had an inexplicable melancholy in his heart, he thought again and again, Yan and I are different, my surname is Chen, I am the clan of Da Chen, I can't ask for the sacrifice of Chen because Yan people are going to be slaughtered, people should be selfish, haven't I always been selfish?
The more he thought about it, the more melancholy he felt in his heart, originally, he didn't want to come, but he knew that he had to come.
When he stepped into the hall, he saw that this was a huge palace supported by dozens of beams and columns, between the countless pillars, there were one case after another, many people had already sat down, the top position, was King Zhao, and some Zong Wang, they were all smiling, and near King Zhao, Chen Kaizhi also saw the prince Batu like an iron tower.
At this time, Prince Batu changed into Han clothes, but the braids on his head betrayed him, and he looked nondescript, but he was full of red and full of ambition.
Below, it was Uncle Fang, as soon as Nabatu saw Chen Kaizhi coming, his eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, when he heard a laugh and said: "General Chen has made great contributions in Jibei and recovered the three prefectures of Jibei, the old man has heard of it, and he admires it in his heart, General Chen invited the old man here." ”
It was Fang Wucai who spoke.
Uncle Fang obviously knew what happened in the palace that day, and when he saw Prince Batu's eyes shining, he knew that Batu was nine times out of ten, and wanted to take the opportunity to show off.
Fang Wucai didn't give him a chance, so he simply beckoned to Chen Kaizhi and motioned for Chen Kaizhi to come to his side.
When many people saw Mr. Fang like this to Chen Kaizhi, they showed envy one by one, this Mr. Fang didn't have much of a good face for ordinary people.
Chen Kaizhi and Fang Wucai glanced at each other, it is rare today, there is no contempt and contempt in the eyes of Uncle Wucai.
Looking at each other, Uncle Wucai only had a faint smile in his eyes, Chen Kaizhi knelt down with Fang Wucai in the same case, Fang Wucai did not move his chopsticks, but said in a low voice: "The old man didn't expect it, Hu Ren, he actually bought the deputy general of Yanmen Pass." ”
Chen Kaizhi looked left and right, but his lips moved lightly, and he said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "In this world, there will always be such people, and there is nothing to think of, unexpectedly, Uncle Shi knows astronomy and geography, dare to ask Uncle Shi, the attitude of the imperial court towards this Hu people has suddenly changed, is it really possible to meet to attack Yan." ”
Uncle Wucai's face showed a mocking look, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, sneered, and continued to whisper in the next moment: "Nine times out of ten, it is going to be a certainty, and now the imperial court, I can't ask for it, I hope to reach a secret agreement with the Hu people as soon as possible......"
"Will the Hu people keep their word?" Chen Kaizhi asked lightly.
Uncle Wu Cai sneered again.
"If Chen Jun doesn't cross the river, the Hu people will naturally not keep their word, but once they cross the river and attack the belly and back of the Yan people, they are not too worried about the Hu people's words and distrust."
Chen Kaizhi shook his head in his heart, and immediately glanced at Fang Wucai with a serious face, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and asked with a very serious expression.
"Is there a way to stop it?"
"Yes." Uncle Wu stroked his beard and nodded.
Chen Kaizhi suddenly felt that his mood was much better, so there was a way: "Please ask Uncle Shi to tell me." ”
"Money!"
"What?" Chen Kaizhi was annoyed, this has risen to the level of shamelessness, talking about money is really annoying, so he couldn't help but say a little angrily: "In front of the righteousness of the family and the country, do you want money?" ”
Fang Wucai pondered for a moment, and seemed to feel a little embarrassed, with a shameful face: "When you say this, the old man can't help but feel a little ashamed, hey, let's go, the old man should think of the common people...... Then make a discount, originally 50,000 taels, now 25,000 taels. ”
"Ten thousand!"
Fang Wucai still had a smile on his face, in the eyes of outsiders, he seemed to be just greeting Chen Kaizhi, pulling common words, but his lips moved lightly: "Don't be so ruthless in bargaining, if you are a good uncle and nephew, you should be an old man with gray hair and a drooping old man, give a few thousand taels more, and the right is to honor his uncle, 18,000, no matter how little, there is no need to talk about it." ”
Chen Kaizhi pulled down his face and said firmly: "Ten thousand." ”
"Uncle Shi is angry."
Chen Kaizhi did not hesitate to lower the price: "Eight thousand taels." ”
"Very good, then ten thousand taels." Fang Wucai smiled, but a pair of eyes glared at Chen Kai, "Good boy, I know the other party's old man." ”
Chen Kaizhi smiled before asking, "Will the plan be released?" ”
"You don't have to worry about it, you'll find out later." Fang Wucai was silent, and carefully reminded Chen Kaizhi: "Pay attention, Prince Nabatu has been staring at you, he regards you as a thorn in his side, okay, for the sake of the face you only give 10,000 taels of silver, don't sit on the old man, find a place to sit on your own, Uncle Shi doesn't plan to protect you." ”
Chen Kaizhi was speechless, lying down, this is okay.
He simply sat still at all, Fang Wu shook his head, then got up and walked in the direction of King Zheng, just leave, there was no room at all.
This man has no conscience.
No matter what, he is also his nephew, Fang Wu is about to leave, and Chen Kaizhi has no choice but to watch.
He sighed in his heart, he really wanted money, and at this time, Batu laughed and said: "Chen Kaizhi, you are here, this prince has been waiting for you for a long time, today, I am really grateful for the hospitality of His Royal Highness King Zhao, although the wine of your Han people tastes a little worse, but this dish is first-class." Chen Kaizhi, you Chen people and we are a family, in the future, you and I need to be closer and closer, don't you? ”
Chen Kaizhi has always been not mistaken, although this person is reckless, his scheming is very deep, these words are a pun, on the surface, it is to praise the friendship between the two countries, secretly, it is a satire of Chen Kai's last argument with him.
Didn't you Chen Kaizhi say that Han and Hu are not mutually exclusive? But what about now, look at His Royal Highness King Zhao, look at the below, how many red-faced Dachen courtiers, now it is different from the past, the situation has changed, even if you have a thousand truths, but what about it? Your court will not treat me as a guest.
Chen Kaizhi just smiled: "His Royal Highness the prince is extremely noble, where am I climbing high, close to the word close, forget it." ”
Hidden needles.
This Prince Batu didn't care, but he said respectfully to Chen Zhen who was far away: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, General Chen, is it too modest." ”
Chen Zhenjing only smiled, as if he didn't want to get involved in the dispute between Prince Batu and Chen Kaizhi, so he lowered his head and went to drink, which of the others was not a human spirit, and suddenly smelled a trace of gunsmoke, but they were all busy with their own things, pretending not to see it.
Prince Batu suddenly said at this time: "I have admired you Da Chen for a long time, I have not only learned Chinese characters, but also dabbled in your poems and articles, I heard that General Chen is both civil and military, this prince wants to chant a poem, I want to ask General Chen to correct." ”
