Chapter 142: A Hint from the Gods

For today's chaos, Fu Zhu and Tian Feng are worried, especially Fu Zhu, who is in charge of the Phantom Secret Spy, knows more inside information, and feels more deeply. Fu Zhu and Tian Feng knew that Liu Xin was now quite trusted by the emperor, and persuaded him many times to go to the table and ask the emperor to spend some effort on court politics, Liu Xin always smiled faintly and was noncommittal.

Since Liu Xinjian's resignation from the emperor's edict to crown him king caused a controversy in Shilin, he has become more and more low-key and gradually faded out of people's sight. Except for the end of each year, Liu Xin would send people and horses on time to escort a large amount of money and grain from Jingzhou to the capital, and at other times there was almost no news about him. Even Tian Feng, Kuai Yue and others felt that Liu Xin no longer had the tiger spirit when he first arrived in Xiangyang, and he seemed to be only with his wife and children most of the time, and the result was that Bian Yu, Cai Yan, and Zhu Qian were all pregnant again. Only Fu Zhu knew in his heart that Liu Xin had been paying attention to the development of the current situation in the world, but he didn't show it.

In fact, after the Spring Festival, Liu Xin's mood began to become more and more nervous, after all, he was planning a big thing, if this matter succeeded, it would be beneficial to the country and the nation, and once this matter failed, maybe he would have to take all his net worth. At this time, Liu Xin is nearly thirty years old, and he is much more mature than in the past, but when he encounters such a major event, he still inevitably feels apprehensive, and even wakes up from his dream many times.

Seeing his current situation, Ma Yun secretly felt distressed and comforted: "It's up to people to make things happen, it's up to heaven to make things happen, you just have to do your best." Moreover, you know the direction of development before others, if you are not sure, you can also discuss with Fu Zhu and Tian Feng. ”

Liu Xin sighed: "This is exactly where I am entangled, I know so many secrets but I can only bury them in my heart, and I can't tell them." ”

Ma Yun smiled: "What can't be said, didn't you also tell about the Yellow Turban Uprising?" ”

Liu Xin slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, how did I forget about this!" ”

In the study of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Xu Huang, and Zhao Yun sat on chairs and asked each other, not knowing what urgent matter Liu Xin had brought them in early in the morning. Liu Xin hasn't convened everyone for a long time, and if there is anything that needs to be arranged, he will explain it alone, and if he brings the four of them together like today, something big must have happened.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Xin entered the door, he waved his hand, let the left and right all retreat, and said, "Gonghe, Yuan Hao, Gongming, Zilong, I have brought you here today, and I have a major matter I want to discuss with you." Before I say that, you must promise that not a single word of what you say in this study today will be leaked outside! ”

Fu Zhu and the others looked at each other, nodded in unison, their faces became solemn, Liu Xin had never made such a request during the deliberations.

Liu Xin knew that these four people were all loyal and righteous people, and if they promised not to say it, they would definitely not say it, so Liu Xin did not ask them to swear. Seeing that they all nodded, Liu Xin said slowly: "Last night, I dreamed of that golden-armored god again. ”

As soon as these words came out, Fu Zhi and the others were taken aback. When they were in Hejian, they knew that every time the Golden Armor Divine Man appeared, it was a sign that something big would happen, and what the Golden Armor Divine Man said finally became true without exception. If there is chaos today, it is a harbinger of something big happening.

Liu Xin paused and said, "The Golden Armor Divine Man told me that in a few months, the emperor will die. ”

Frustrated and Tian Feng "brushed", they all stood up and said: "Lord, the emperor is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, how could he suddenly die?" ”

Liu Xin's eyebrows tightened, and he said: "I can't be sure about this matter, but I don't dare to disbelieve the words of the Golden Armor Godman, but fortunately, we will know in a few months, we just need to prepare early." However, the Golden Armor Divine Man also said something to me, I don't understand what it means, you can help me refer to it. ”

He bowed his hand and said, "My lord, please speak." ”

Liu Xin showed a puzzled look on his face and said, "The Golden Armor Divine Man also instructed me to treat the people of the world well in the future. I can't understand this, if I am asked to treat the people of Jingzhou well, it is naturally my duty. Tell me to be kind to the people of the world, am I going to enter Beijing to assist the new emperor? ”

Liu Hong is still alive and well, and Liu Xin is here to discuss the death of the emperor and assist the new emperor, which is simply a big rebellion. However, these words were all said to him by the Golden Armor Divine Man, and all the people present were his cronies, so no one felt that there was anything wrong.

Just now I heard that Liu Hong was about to die, and the four people present were very shocked, but now after listening to the latter sentence, Xu Huang and Zhao Yun calmed down a little, but they were frustrated and Tian Feng's faces changed, and they were inexplicably excited.

Tian Feng stood up and was about to speak, but he grabbed ahead of him, and while glancing at him, he said: "Lord, whether it is the people of Jingzhou or the people of the world, since the Golden Armor Heavenly God said so, the lord treats them well as always, why bother to come out?" ”

The changes in the expressions on the faces of the four people and the small movements of frustration could not hide Liu Xin's eyes, Liu Xin laughed, looked like he was stunned, and said: "Gonghe is right, why think so much, just be yourself." Gongming, Zilong, as the golden armor god said, the emperor died, I am afraid that there will be turmoil in the world, you must strengthen your precautions in case of emergency. ”

Out of the door of the study, Fu Zhu saw that there was no one in the courtyard, and he arched his hand towards Tian Feng and said, "Yuan Hao, two generals, Fu has something to discuss with you, can you go to the Mansion to borrow a step to speak?" ”

Tian Feng, Xu Huang, and Zhao Yun all understood that what they were invited to discuss must be what Liu Xin had just said, but in fact, they also had a lot to say in their hearts, so they nodded heavily together.

Liu Xin watched their movements through the curtains, and couldn't help but show a knowing smile on her face. Although he borrowed the name of the Golden Armor Divine Man, Liu Xin still did not directly say his idea of dominating the world, and his last sentence can be understood in many different ways, but for smart people like Fu Zhi and Tian Feng, their understanding must be - the Golden Armor Divine Man indicates that Liu Xin wants to sit in the world! The same meaning, if Liu Xin said it clearly, it would be far less effective than guessing it by Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, so that they would be more convinced of what the gods said.

He is in charge of the Phantom Spy, and naturally there is a convenient place for secret conversations in his home. In the center of the chamber was a small square table, with four people sitting on each side. Fu Zhu said softly: "The lord only found us and the other four today, which shows that the lord trusts us, and you must not live up to the lord's trust." Whether it is in the lord's place or the matter discussed here, it must not be divulged in the slightest. ”

Tian Feng said solemnly: "Gonghe, I want to be at home, if you and I are not at home, if you are not the lord, how can you have the opportunity to show your ambitions today?" Gongming and Zilong are both brothers of the lord, so don't worry. The gods instructed the lord to be kind to the people of the world, in Tian's view, the real meaning of this sentence is that the lord should sit in the world! ”

Xu Huang and Zhao Yun all changed color, and asked in surprise: "Mr. Yuan Hao's words can't be talked nonsense, this is a big crime of rebellion!" ”

Fu Zhu Zhengse said: "The two generals, what Yuan Hao said is true, and Fu Mou also sees it this way. If my guess is correct, just now Yuan Hao wanted to make this sentence clear in front of the lord. ”

Tian Feng nodded, acquiescing to the words of Fu Zhu.

Zhao Yun groaned: "My eldest brother is an all-round man in civil and military affairs, since the two gentlemen can think of it, how could the eldest brother not think of it, the two gentlemen should not be wrong." ”

Fu Zhu shook his head and said, "Think about it, if the lord doesn't sit in the world, then how can he be kind to the people of the world. The so-called authorities are fascinated, although the lord is brilliant, but it is inevitable that there will be a mistake, and it is normal to have unexpected places for a while. What's more, the lord has no ambitions, the last time the emperor wanted to crown him king, but he connected five chapters and insisted on not accepting it, and now he will not think of sitting on this level of the world. ”

Xu Huang asked puzzledly: "The emperor is still healthy today, even if as the gods say, the emperor will die soon, and there are two princes, how can it be my eldest brother's turn to sit in this world." ”

Tian Feng waved his hand and said, "General Xu, the world is unpredictable, who can say clearly what will happen later." There is no doubt that the gods implied that the lord wanted to sit in the world, and to judge whether the gods' hints were accurate, just see if the emperor would really die in a few months. ”

Fu Zhi nodded and said, "Yuan Hao is right, we only need to wait a few months to understand everything." However, we can't wait! The lord trusts us so much, we must do our best for the lord to be able to sit in the world, and this is also a great opportunity for us to glorify our ancestors. In the past few months, we can do a lot of things to help the lord recruit a group of talents, prepare some money and food, and train a group of elite soldiers. ”

Xu Huang replied angrily: "The matter of the eldest brother, there is no need for Mr. to tell us, we should do our best to be brothers." ”

Tian Feng said: "General Xu's loyalty to the lord, how can I and the prince not know. However, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and I also ask the general not to regard himself as a lord and brother in the future. ”

Zhao Yun arched his hand and said: "Mr. has taught me a great lesson, and Gongming and I have kept it in mind. ”

After this secret discussion, Fu Zhi and the other four really acted quietly. He ordered the phantom spies in various places to step up the collection of all kinds of intelligence, Tian Feng also secretly mobilized money and food from various counties to Xiangyang, and Xu Huang's First Army and Zhao Yun's Fourth Army have recently increased their training intensity, and all the soldiers have canceled their vacations. Not only that, but Fu Zhu also invited the reclusive celebrity Han Song from the mountains and fields of Nanyang, Xu Huang recruited Shi Lian from the old department from the Luoyang army, and Zhao Yun found his fellow villager Xiahou Lan.

Naturally, these actions they did couldn't hide from Liu Xin, and of course, they didn't think about hiding it from Liu Xin. Liu Xin sat in the study and couldn't help but secretly snicker, with these dedicated subordinates, he could save a lot of worry. Suddenly, Fu Zhu hurriedly asked to see him, and as soon as he entered the door, he said anxiously: "Lord, Zirou has just sent urgent documents from Jingnan, and Wuling has rebelled!" ”
