"Hahahaha, it turns out that Xu Yang, you are not so stupid." Qi Jingtong said with a smile: "That's right, if there is no command, the Lu family army will indeed be stronger than my subordinates, and the Lu family rebels will never make a mess of their own affairs." What do you think? Die with me? ”

Xu Yang waved his hand and said: "No, no, it's because you want to kill me that I protect myself like this, and I can't let the interests of the country be damaged because of my wrong decision, right?" If you don't say kill me, I will never show it, the Lu family is not as treacherous as you, we pay attention to integrity and faithfulness, since we say that we want to meet, we will never take the opportunity to kill the killer. But this doesn't mean that we are stupid, we must always be on guard against people with a character like you. ”

"The Lu family? You are just a general, at most you are an important minister of the country, how can you be counted among the royal relatives and nobles, you are not worthy of the identity of the Lu family, you are a courtier. It seems that you are already confused, you can only act according to orders, the responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country, the world is still Lu Bing's, don't forget to put gold on your face. "Qi Jing Channel.

"Qi Jingtong, you are really lonely and unheard, oh, by the way, it is the result of Zhu Houxi's closed country. Yes, the Lord of the world is my holy, but he is also ours. You don't know yet, the dragon chair also has my share. Xu Yang said triumphantly, Qi Jingtong was shocked, and looked at Xu Yang, the dragon chair is as important as the imperial power in Qi Jingtong's mind, it is the only thing to be loyal to, how can Lu Bing say that he is willing to divide the dragon chair equally? In Qi Jingtong's surprised eyes, Xu Yang triumphantly explained the division of the dragon chair in a nutshell.

After hearing this, Qi Jingtong nodded again and again: "Lu Bing is really a strange person, Xu Yang." Serve such a person, and even if you die, you will not be in vain for the rest of your life. ”

"Why, do you want to stand up. Fighting side by side again, how good it is to eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl, is it worth it to work with this high-ranking but extremely mediocre faint king? Xu Yang said, Qi Jingtong smiled bitterly and said: "It's still the same sentence, the Tao is not the same." By the way, I said I was going to kill you or something, but in fact, it was just to make sense. Don't get me wrong. ”

Xu Yang sneered: "But you can really do this kind of thing, true and false." Who can tell if you are true or false, whether you are a human or a ghost. ”

"I'm not here to explain, and I'm not here to be righteous. If I want to kill you, I can do it now. I'm confident that you won't be able to pull out the fuse. Just as you have the confidence to pull it out, I can take the risk of taking the risk. It's just that you, the opponent, are in line with my routine, and only by keeping you can you have a greater chance of winning, if you let Lu Yi, Lu Xun come to fight against me, or even Tang Kekuan, it will be far more troublesome than you. Qi Jingtong said.

Xu Yang said angrily: "Do you mean I'm a waste? ”

Qi Jingtong didn't care about Xu Yang at all. continued to say to himself: "Lu Bing is merciful, but benevolence is not in charge of soldiers, mercy is not in charge of wealth. This will leave a name in history, but it will not be a great cause. is also you, Xu Yang, but you are much more stupid than Lu Bing, this time it depends on whether your life is big, if your life is big, you can barely survive, and then continue to be in the scheme, of course, I think your life is only afraid that life is better than death, and your life will be spent in regret and shadows, and it will be difficult to stick it up again. Of course, you may not survive, that's why I saw you, after all, there was brotherly love, but now it's broken but it's still hard to give up, so I came to meet. One day, when we return to the capital, I will also meet Lu Bing before asking for his life. I promise that I will try to let him die on the battlefield, not fall into my hands, and try not to let him be humiliated. ”

"What do you mean? What does it mean to live rather than die? How can you be so sure, how can you be so sure that you will win and I will lose, who can say for sure until the last moment on the battlefield? Xu Yang said disdainfully, he had talked enough, today's Qi Jingtong is no longer the Qi Jingtong of the past, it is really as I just said, the Tao is not the same.

"You will know this tonight, tonight is the day of your defeat, I don't believe you wait." Qi Jingtong stood up, probably enough to talk. Xu Yang stood up and thought about the meaning of Qi Jingtong's words repeatedly, Qi Jingtong took two steps and suddenly said: "By the way, I forgot what I said, although you are now the pillar of the country and you are also sitting on the dragon body chair, you still can't get rid of the true colors of the ruffians back then, and the dynamite is all gone, hahaha, you are still so ninth-rate." ”

"Want to provoke me? Qi Jingtong, you look down on me too much. Xu Yang sneered and whispered, seeing Qi Jingtong leave, he also turned over and ran back to Changling Pass. As soon as Xu Yang went back, he thought that what Qi Jingtong said must have a purpose, either deliberately saying that he would be tricked into a scheme, or he would make a declaration like a war letter.

Therefore, Xu Yang sent scout troops to start reconnoitring the surroundings to prevent the enemy from moving and besieging them, and at the same time stepped up the arrangement, waiting for the nightfall. No matter what kind of trick Qi Jingtong used, no matter how much the remnant weapon was reformed, and how many materials the Lu Jiajun lost, but it was not muddy after all, how could it be rubbed by Qi Jingtong at will? Come on, let me see your plan tonight, see how you make me live and die, and see how you make me worse than dead, Qi Jingtong, what skills do you have! Xu Yang looked at the vague enemy camp in the distance, and secretly thought in his heart.

"Lord Chen, where is the Holy Lord?" A minister said.

Chen Hong said with a smile: "The saint is cultivating in the harem and thinking about ways to defeat the enemy. Didn't you tell all of you about this? In addition, it is also written in the holy decree, what does Lord Zhang mean by this? ”

"Lord Chen, it's not that I'm too careful, the Holy Lord has always been diligent since he came to Bashu, and he has never had so many things that don't go to court every day. That's right, the holy decree is that the saint asks the gods to pray for blessings, meditate, and the middle of the court is supervised by you, Lord Chen. The specifications, documents, and jade seals are all right, and the ligatures are also written by the saint himself. However, we are still worried, worried about the safety of the Holy Dragon's body. If we don't ask for anything else, let's send one or two people as representatives to take a look at the Holy One, and we can feel at ease just by looking at it. Another minister said.

Chen Hong sneered: "Are you worried about our family? "Civil officials and eunuchs have always been different from internal ministers and foreign ministers. There have always been rumors that eunuchs mislead the country, and because eunuchs have no ability to pass on the lineage, they can't think about heir succession at all. So the only thing left is the pursuit of power and money. And as eunuchs, most of them are neither male nor female, and most of them have some psychological problems, and the palace is even more dirty, and they will definitely be contaminated with some bad atmosphere. Therefore, the civil officials looked down on the eunuchs, thinking that they were just courtiers, and the military attachés who were relatively rude and cheerful in Jin Ge Tiema looked down on them even more, so the ministers and ministers did not deal with each other very well. But it's a matter of facts. It is true that there are many cases of eunuchs misleading the country, and there are countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but there are also many civil and military officials. And because the eunuch relied on the emperor to survive, he was once a son of heaven and a courtier, although the influence on civil and military officials was great, but it was by no means very important, but not for eunuchs. He who is willing to serve his own people. Is it a confidant of the former emperor? Hence the day of the change of power. is the time of the eunuch reshuffle, which is better than that above the court.

On the whole, because of the dependence of the eunuch regime on the emperor, they are more loyal, one is prosperous and the other is lost, and after the country is broken, the minister may be able to change the court and become a folk scholar, but the eunuchs are not, and most of them are going to perish with the emperor. Even if you live among the people, it is difficult to be tolerated, you are nothing more than a lonely person. There have been many eunuchs in history. The Ming Dynasty even had the ancestral training that eunuchs could not be in power, but for the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs also had many loyal ministers and righteous men, and they could not be overturned with one rod. Helping the emperor to assist the government, uniting the loyal ministers of the court to get rid of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, helping the emperor to manage the government affairs, and even going into battle to defend against foreign enemies, the eunuchs have done these things.

There are good people in any crowd, and there are always bad people, and the same is true for eunuchs. The outside world has a bad reputation for eunuchs, and they are wary of them everywhere. Zhu Houxi has not been to the court in the past few days, and everything is controlled by Chen Hong, unlike when he was in Beijing before, the current Bashu regime is actually mostly newcomers, and he is less constrained by the unspoken rules of officialdom, and although Chen Hong is in power, his deterrent power is not as strong as when he was in Beijing, and he has not yet shaped a system. There are always dark horses in the officialdom, far from being as intertwined as before, with many roots and everyone can abide by certain rules. No, someone is questioning Chen Hong now.

Recently, there have been rumors in the market, claiming that the saint did not go to the court, but that Chen Hong misled the country and deliberately did not let the saint go to the court, and some people even said that Chen Hong put the emperor under house arrest in an attempt to seek power and then sacrifice the city to Lu Bing in order to save his life. All kinds of rumors and rumors are getting more and more fierce, although the ministers are not stupid, naturally they don't believe in such groundless rumors, and they think that Chen Hong will not be so stupid. But they were also a little worried, worried that Chen Hong would mistake the emperor and let the emperor fall again. Da Ming can't stand such a toss, if the emperor sinks again, becomes the same as before, ignoring the government, and on the occasion of this war, I am afraid that no one can wait for the emperor to decide on a major event, and then there will be a delay in some things that will lead to a catastrophe, and the destruction of the country and the family will inevitably happen.

Of course, the ministers were really afraid that something would happen to the emperor, wasn't Zhao Gao a secret when he was in Qin? Treat the first emperor and the eunuchs dare to do this, let alone Zhu Houxi, so all the spearheads are pointed at Chen Hong.

Someone listened to Chen Hong's words and stood up and said: "Lord Chen, it's not that we are worried about Lord Chen, it's just that as a minister, we are conscientious and responsible, and now that the two armies are at war, we still need to decide on a thing." But recently, except for the holy decree, most of them were approved by Lord Chen on behalf of the red edict. Therefore, I would like to ask the Holy One for some questions about the country's plans, and I am always afraid that the adults and nobles will forget things and there will be places where they cannot be conveyed. ”

"The saint said that no one will see the driver." Chen Hong said decisively: "If there are people who insist on entering the palace or do not feel at ease, the Holy Lord has given our family the power of life and death, and when the time comes, we can blame our subordinates for being ruthless." I only have the saint in my eyes, and I will do what the saint says, there is no other word, please respect yourself. In addition, don't be impatient, in less than half a month, the saint will be out of the customs, when there is anything to say, even if I participate in Chen Hong, I will never complain, and then I will give the saint to play the invitation. ”

A young official stood up and shouted, "Chen Hong, half a month? At that time, the Lu family's thieves are only afraid that they will come to the city, right? You don't want to control the government and mislead our country's affairs. ”

Chen Hong glanced at the man and said, "What kind of grade do you have, dare to talk to me like this!" In the end, there is no dignity and humility, and there are no rules! And did you not take the holy decree into account! Come on, drag it down and enter the supervision office! ”

All the scholars in the court looked at Chen Hong with indignation, everyone was dissatisfied with Chen Hong, but no one dared to speak anymore for a while, this may be a sour Confucian literati. (To be continued......)
