154 The coward of the bold decision

My lord? His Royal Highness King Ning?

Chen Deng's eyes looked at Wei Shui with a little more scrutiny, much more cautious than just now. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He thought that Wei Shui was powerful, and in such a short period of time in Nanchang, at most, he had gathered a group of gangsters. Although there is a man from the army, it is just a coincidence.

But now it seems that what is behind Wei Shui seems to be more powerful than he imagined.

When the position changes, the attitude will inevitably change.

Although Chen Deng was reluctant to admit this, there was no way to stop it from happening.

"My lord, if you hadn't arrested me in prison in the first place, if you hadn't spared my life, then I wouldn't have known you, and I wouldn't have known Lord Cha. My life may be very different from what it is now. Wei Shui said, draining the wine in the wine cup in one gulp, and filling himself again, "But there are some things, once they happen, it is impossible to go back." Now the fact is that King Ning wants to usurp power and seize the throne, which is an arrow that has to be sent. And you happened to be transferred to Jiangxi at this juncture. I know that Lord Sun Sui Sun will definitely fight for you, but ...... My lord, as the saying goes, those who know the times are handsome, and as the saying goes, good people don't live long, but disasters live for thousands of years. You have to think about it, at this time, take a wrong step, it is an abyss! ”

Chen Deng's face was very ugly, he frowned, and asked, "What?" Are you here today to be a lobbyist for King Ning? ”

"Oh, no, no, no, you misunderstood." Wei Shui said with a smile, "Wei Shui is a small character, and he doesn't dare to report that he can convince you." Moreover, Wei Shui is to you, an adult, it is also equivalent to an adult to my lord. The prince will not want to persuade you to belong, for him, if you don't belong, it just needs to make you disappear, it is enough. ”

"You dare to threaten me?!" Chen Deng's reaction was expected by Wei Shui, but it was unexpected by himself. Unconsciously, he no longer calls himself 'Benguan'. Maybe even he didn't know when he had found that he couldn't suppress Wei Shui with the shelves of the court officials.

"The little one doesn't dare to threaten you, just give me a piece of advice." Wei Shui said, raising his glass again to persuade wine.

Chen Deng hesitated, but this time, he picked up the cup.

After a meal, Chen Deng's heart was in a panic, and he must not have eaten well. But Wei Shui ate very happily, especially the pot of local chicken soup, which was basically killed by himself.

After eating and drinking, settling the account, and when the two walked to the door, Wei Shui took the initiative to step forward and lift the sedan curtain for Chen Deng.

Chen Deng turned his head, looked at him with a complicated expression, and lowered his head into the sedan chair.

"Second master, it seems that things are not going well. How? Chen Deng is unwilling? ”

Tang Ji always stood by and watched quietly, until Chen Deng's sedan chair swayed away, and then stepped forward to ask Wei Shui.

Wei Shui took a deep breath, touched the wrench on his hand, and said, "There's nothing wrong with it." Standing in line, you have to think before and after, and think again. This decision is not to blame him, nor can I blame it. ”

Tang Ji didn't quite understand the meaning, and then asked, "Then when are you going to hand over King Ning's errand?" ”

"It's coming." Wei Shui said, "I invited him, and no one shied away from it." Whose dog am I, I'm afraid that Sun Sui would have guessed one or two a long time ago. Wait, within tomorrow night, Chen Deng will take the initiative to come to me to make peace. ”

Wei Shui expected that there was basically no mistake.

The next afternoon, when Wei Shui was arguing with Tang Ji in the study about whether he was painting a chicken or a phoenix, a brother on duty came to report that a Master Chen had come.

"How? Am I right? Wei Shui smiled and threw down his pen and said, "Tang Ji, go and help me invite Master Chen over." Cher, pack up and make us a pot of tea. ”

That's what the game looks like.

Evenly matched, especially when the hole cards are bright, whoever concedes first means who loses.

In this game, there is no doubt that Chen Deng lost.

At noon, Sun Sui invited him to a homely meal.

The so-called homely meals naturally can't be compared with the delicacies and wine arranged by Wei Shui last night. But Chen Deng didn't expect that homely food is really homely, and light meals are real light meals, this Sun Sui Sun, but he really didn't treat him as an outsider!

West Lake Ulva soup, dry-fried bells, braised spring bamboo shoots in oil. Okay, it's a little bit of a froth, but there's no meat star at all.

If you change to an authentic Zhejiang person like Wei Shui, you may still be able to get used to eating, and even think that the food is good. But for Chen Deng, who is just an official in Zhejiang, these dishes are really not very pleasing.

Especially when he saw Sun Sui replacing wine with tea, and there were not a few tea leaves in that tea at all, Chen Deng was extremely disappointed with this lunch.

Then the conversation between the two was also very unpleasant.

Sun Sui is a kind-hearted person, and he won't play anything false or yin. Say whatever you want, and what you say is very true, and there is no need to suspect that there is a falsehood.

But a lot of times, the truth just hurts!

“…… Thinking of King Ning, he formed a group of thieves outside, and had power inside, held the officials hostage, conspired against rebellion, and refused to obey, and was assassinated. Since I entered Nanchang, I have been determined to live and die, sent my wife and children back to my hometown, and left my two servants to follow me here...... Lord Chen, the imperial court set up officials and pastors, and earnestly taught the people to educate the people with the principles of sages. What is the principle of the sages? I still remember the story of the previous dynasty, when the Yuan court summoned Mr. Wenshan, Mr. said: Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, but its righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence, read the sage book, what did you learn, and now and then, you are almost worthy of it! How generous? If you want to come to the ancient sages, there is no one who will die in the country with his body, and there is no one more than this......"

What Sun Sui said later, Chen Deng didn't listen to most of it.

All he heard was that Sun Sui had pride and was ready to die to die to die for the world. This kind of person is very admirable. In all dynasties, this kind of character will often be in the annals of history and famous through the ages.

But Sun Sui made thousands of calculations, but he missed Chen Deng's character.

Within a certain limit, Chen Deng is indeed loyal enough and willing to love the people. But this limit is that he can be promoted, he can make a fortune, and he can live well and soundly. It was after Sun Sui's words that Chen Deng, who was originally wavering, made up his mind. Following Sun Sui, it is a dead end, and only by following King Ning can you live.

According to the German writer and historian Monsen, the saddest thing happened in this way, a coward, unfortunately, had the opportunity to make a bold decision.

"My lord, I have said this for a long time, and we don't need to break up unhappily yesterday!" Wei Shui smiled happily and said, "Since you have made up your mind, please act according to my plan." After the deed is completed, you will have an endless high-ranking official smooth road, glory and wealth. ”
