"Hey, hey, Wang Tingshi, the king has rested, why don't you come back tomorrow?"

"What?! I'm going to see the king now, get out of the way!" ”

Approaching late at night, in front of the Langya Palace, the chamberlain was arguing with Wang Dun about something, and the two sides pushed each other, and the atmosphere was a little tense for a while. It turned out that Wang Dun got the news that King Langya had appointed Wei Shuo as the captain of Dongyi, and when he came to Langya Palace, it was already late, but in order to change King Langya's mind, he couldn't care so much.

I saw Wang Dun glaring angrily, staring at the waiter in front of him and said, "Wait for a certain family to get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind to you!" ”

After all, that old chamberlain was an old man who had served two generations of princes, so he naturally wouldn't take Wang Dun's threat to heart. But the other young chamberlains are different, they are all Langya King entered the palace after entering Jiangdong, facing the threat of the famous Wang Thorn Shi, many people are scared of the two trembling, if it weren't for the old chamberlain in front, they would have already made the way way.

Wang Dun put his hand on the long sword at his waist, and the murderous aura flashed in his eyes, and for a moment he really wanted to stab the old guy in front of him with a sword.

But after considering the consequences of doing so, Wang Dunqiang held back his anger and said euphemistically: "Old chamberlain, I have something very important to see King Langya, please get out of the way." ”

In the face of Wang Dun's concession, the old chamberlain did not show a trace of smugness on his face, and still said expressionlessly: "Wang Tingshi, the king will not see you today anyway, you should go back as a slave!" ”

Wang Dun's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he looked up at the Langya Palace, which was a little blurry in the night, and he was a little distracted for a while, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. Wang Dun stood at the door and was silent for a long time, and finally turned around and left.

After Wang Dun left, the old chamberlain slowly returned to the Langya Palace, and as soon as he arrived in the inner courtyard, he saw the Langya King standing in the courtyard wearing a single coat.

Shi Shiran, the old chamberlain, came behind King Langya and said softly: "King, the task you gave was completed, and now Wang Tingshi has gone back!" ”

"Well, the widow knows!"

King Langya's tone was inexplicable, so that the old chamberlain couldn't tell the joy and sorrow. It is said that this time the king finally suppressed the domineering Wang Dun, but it seems that the king is not as happy as he imagined. Since he promised the post of captain of Wei Shuo Dongyi in the daytime, King Langya knew that Wang Dun would come to him sooner or later to settle accounts, so he made some arrangements early.

For Wang Dun, King Langya loves and hates each other, both cherishes the other party's talent, and resents Wang Dun who doesn't know how to advance or retreat. Last time, it was because of Wang Dun that he missed Wei Shuo, and this time he didn't want to miss the opportunity to promote Wei Shuo no matter what. However, he also offended Wang Dun fiercely because of this, and when he thought of Wang Dun returning with resentment, King Langya felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Not to mention that King Langya was frightened in the palace, it was only said that Wang Dun returned to the Wang family with a sky-high anger, and met his heir Wang Ying head-on. Wang Ying saw that his father was coming in anger, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Father, where did this come from? Who made my father so angry? ”

Wang Dun looked up and found that it was his son, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but drop a little and said, "Who else can there be?!" It's not that Qingzhou kid yet! ”

Wang Yingneng stood out among Wang Dun's many nephews, and was chosen by Wang Dun as his heir, inheriting his political power, which has its own extraordinary. Therefore, although Wang Dun's words were unknown, he still guessed that the person who made Wang Dun so angry must be the Qingzhou Weishuo who repeatedly made the Wang family deflated.

"This Qingzhou kid took advantage of my absence from King Langya today, and didn't know how to get through Liu Kui's old man's door, and even asked King Langya to recommend him to serve as the captain of Dongyi. Hum! He is just a humble man, and the 600-stone soldier Cao is already a great gift from the imperial court to him, how dare he covet the important position of 2,000 stones? ”

As soon as he thought that Wei Shuo had benefited under his nose, Wang Dun felt uncomfortable, otherwise he would not have gone to Langya Wangfu in the middle of the night to make trouble.

"Father, from a child's point of view, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple!"

"Huh? What does Ying'er mean by this? Is there any conspiracy in this? ”

"Hehe, my father is too worried, and there will be no conspiracy, but this incident reflects that King Langya is wary of his father!"

"Huh?"

Wang Dunhu was stunned, his eyes were full of cold light, and Wang Ying on the opposite side suddenly felt a cool breath spread from the soles of his feet all over his body, and he shivered and said: "Father, listen to the child's words, to be honest, even if Wei Shuo wins the position of Dongyi Lieutenant, he may not threaten his father in the future." If King Langya really discussed with his father, at the insistence of King Langya, even if your father was dissatisfied, I am afraid that he would not dare to veto King Langya's decision. ”

"But this time, when appointing Wei Shuo as the captain of Dongyi, King Langya completely abandoned our Wang family in order to prevent your father from obstructing it, and it is not difficult to see that King Langya has a deep fear of our Wang family."

Listening to his son Wang Ying's words, Wang Dun nodded slowly, in fact, he had already noticed in his heart that King Langya was dissatisfied and jealous of him, but Wang Dun has always regarded himself as a hero who supported Sheji, and he has not thought about breaking with King Langya for the time being. But now looking at King Langya's style of acting, I am afraid that the intimacy between Wang Dun and King Langya will no longer be the same as before.

"Is there a way for my son?"

"There are only two strategies to deal with King Langya, it depends on how you choose, father!"

"How? What's the hurry? ”

"Slow, it's nothing more than my father temporarily bowing his head to King Langya and admitting his mistakes, and then settling accounts with the other party when the time is ripe in the future; As for the ......"

Speaking of this, Wang Ying deliberately paused and glanced up at Wang Dun. Wang Dun frowned and urged: "If you have anything to say, you just say it, why are you talking about it?" ”

"Yes, the child said that although my father was temporarily powerless to prevent King Langya from appointing Wei Shuo as the captain of Dongyi, he could slap King Langya's face in other places, so that he would know that without his father's mediation, King Langya would not be able to control the situation in Jiangdong at all. As long as King Langya realizes that he can't do without his father's assistance, he will presumably weigh one or two when he acts in the future. ”

Wang Dun has a strong personality, and after listening to the analysis of his heir Wang Ying, he quickly made up his mind. Since Du Tao was elected as the leader of the displaced people in the spring of last year, and appointed himself as the pastor of Liang and Yierzhou, and led the history of Xiangzhou's assassination, the uprising of the displaced people quickly spread in Jing and Xiangzhou.

In April last year, Du Tao led the rebel army to attack Changsha. In May, Xun Wei abandoned the city and fled to Guangzhou, where he was captured by the rebels. Later, the puppet surrendered to the southern general Shanjian, appointed Guanghan Taishou, killed Xiangzhou Guo Cha who led the people to attack, broke Lingling and Guiyang in the south, attacked Wuchang in the east, and killed many Jin officials.

In the sixth year of Yongjia, Wang Cheng, the assassin of Jingzhou in Jin, repeatedly attacked Du Tao on the orders of King Langya, but was defeated by the rebels. In desperation, Sima Rui, the king of Langya, sent his henchman Zhou Yi to take over the assassination of Jingzhou and take on the important task of exterminating Du Tao. It's just that King Langya didn't expect that Du Tao's subordinates would not attack Wang Zhen in Chuyang, Zhou Jie was embarrassed, and the army immediately collapsed, with countless casualties.

Zhou Jie lost the face of King Langya, but in order to suppress the Du Tao rebel army as soon as possible, King Langya had to ask for help from the Langya Wang clan again, and then he appointed Wang Dun as the governor of the expedition (which is also the reason why Wang Dun has not been in Jianye recently). After being appointed by the king of Langya, Wang Dun sent Wuchang Taishou Tao Kan, Xunyang Taishou Zhou Visit, and Liyang Neishi Ganzhuo to encircle and suppress the Du Tao rebel army, and Wang Dun entered Tun Yuzhang to support the army.

"Without me Wang Dun, I'll see what your King Langya will do to exterminate Du Tao!"

A cold light flashed in Wang Dun's eyes, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of mockery. Originally, Wang Dun planned to exterminate Du Tao and return to Jianye as soon as possible, but now after listening to his son's words, he didn't want to exterminate the rebel army so quickly. As soon as he returned to the palace, Wang Dun immediately stopped sending grain, grass, and ordnance to the front line.

The imperial court, which had been going smoothly in all directions, suddenly stopped its offensive in the following period, and the Du Tao rebel army, which had weakened somewhat, took the opportunity to regain some momentum. In Jianye, King Langya was furious when he learned that Wang Dun had disregarded the great cause of suppressing bandits for his own selfishness.

At this point, the rift between the two is getting bigger and bigger, and it can no longer be repaired.
