Chapter 677: One Step to the Heavens
Facing Wang Xu's questioning, the young Dong Yun and Fei Yi had a slight resentment on their faces.
Fei Yi said with resentment: "Taiwei Guo, Fu Sikong, and Tian Situ don't believe it, thinking that we are being deceived!" ”
"Deceived? Why? Wang Xu asked strangely.
"It's not just because of ......" Fei Yi wanted to make it clear on the spot, but Dong Yun suddenly covered his mouth: "Eh! You promised me, it's a private matter, don't talk about this! ”
"Oh, what if you don't say that? Can you still deceive the King of Chu? That's going to kill your head! Fei Yi said stubbornly.
"Do you two have this king in your eyes?" Wang Xu pretended to be annoyed and reprimanded: "Give this king quiet!" ”
When the two teenagers saw him angry, they finally stopped saying a word and hurriedly kowtowed to admit their mistakes.
"Fei Yi, are you coming?" Wang Xu frowned.
Fei Yi looked at Dong Yun, gave an apologetic look, and then replied: "Go back to the King of Chu, because the witness brought is the little woman, Guo Taiwei saw that Dong Yun liked the woman, and the woman was also devoted to her, so he thought it was a joke and didn't take it to heart, and because of this, Shang Shutai did not accept this matter, but other assassins and Taishou couldn't manage this matter at all, and the two of us thought about it all night, and felt that we could only ask to see the King of Chu at present, and with the wisdom and martial arts of the King of Chu, we could only repay justice." ”
When Wang Xu heard this, he already knew it in his heart, but he laughed and said, "Heh! Dong Yun, are you for a woman? ”
Dong Yun was young after all, thin-skinned, and slightly red, but he didn't dare to hide it: "King Chu, although he does have some selfishness, he is not completely, he is also avenging the people!" ”
"If it's really just about holding grievances. Avenge the wrongs. Will you be brave enough to stop the frame of this king? Wang Xu teased and said: "If Shang Shutai does not accept it." I'm afraid you'll tell your father first, and then make up your mind, and the reason why you're in a hurry to come is probably because you promised your sweetheart, so it's a shame! What do you think of the king's speculation? ”
No matter how outstanding Dong Yun's ability and knowledge are now, he is just an ordinary teenager after all, in terms of human feelings, how can he hide an old fritter like Wang Xu!
Dong Yun's face turned red in an instant. I didn't dare to argue and conceal it, and I was embarrassed to admit it.
Fei Yi, who was on the side, sighed old-fashionedly: "Dong Yun, I'll just say that you love face too much, it's not a good thing!" ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and kowtowed: "Back to the king, this matter was originally planned to be told to the elders first, but unfortunately Dong Taishou is far away in Shu County and cannot make the trip in a short time, and the contemptible uncle does not want us to participate in this matter. After the woman learned that Shangshutai would not accept it, she had the intention of committing suicide. Only then did he have no choice but to come over to stop the fight, and hoped that the king of Chu would forgive the crime of disrespect! ”
"Dong Yun is in love, Chongguan is angry and red-faced, he does not hesitate to live and die, he is a good man! What about you? Why are you here? Wang Xu asked with interest.
"Traveling together, friends of life and death, since they are facing this matter together, how can they abandon their friends and bear it alone!" Fei Yi replied angrily.
"So, you are for righteousness!"
Wang Xu actually likes the two of them very much, but at this time, he has the heart to test the hearts of the two, thought about it, and said: "But no matter what you do, you need to take responsibility for your actions, if the investigation finds that what you said is false, it is a felony, if the investigation is true, you will also be punished for intercepting the frame of this king without permission, but you can decide?" ”
The two looked at each other, nodded heavily, and said in unison: "Never back down!" ”
"Okay, backbone!" Wang Xu was relieved, waved his hand and said, "Let's get up first!" ”
"No!" The two of them were happy, their faces showed joy, and the young Fei Yi's eyes had a bright light, and he quickly said: "King Chu, we still have a letter of 100 people, on which there are contemptible people and Dong Yun desperately mixed in, and the blood seal obtained from those victimized people has only been collected by Taiwei Guo!" ”
"Okay, you guys go back first! By the way, Fei Yi went to Honglu Temple and called your uncle Fei Boren, and said that this king was looking for him! Wang Xu said with a smile.
Fei Yi was young after all, thinking that his uncle was involved, so he hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with your uncle, but if there is any responsibility, the grass people will bear it!" ”
Wang Xu smiled: "Don't worry, it's not to embarrass your uncle, it's to talk to him about something!" You two can go in peace! ”
Dong Yun hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "What about the plank road......
"You two silly boys!" Wang Xule was happy, he never thought that these two capable ministers who were famous through the ages would have such a lovely age.
couldn't help but step forward and pat the two of them on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Do you think that after Taiwei Guo, Fu Sikong, Tian Situ and others heard about this kind of big thing, they would really stop investigating it because of one-sided words?" It's just that I'm worried that the two of you don't know the seriousness of it, cover your head and get into trouble, and don't want you to be involved, so I just refused on the surface, if it wasn't expected, I'm afraid I would have sent someone to Hanzhong a long time ago. Go back and wait for the news, don't run around recently, beware of someone who will be unfavorable to you, after all, if the matter is true, you are also a witness, and there may not be no danger! ”
"King Chu is wise!"
"King Shengming of Chu!"
Both of them are very good at talking, and thank you happily.
Watching them walk away, Wang Xu shook his head with a smile, feeling a little helpless about these two future pillars, but when he turned around, his eyes were gradually turning cold, and even slightly chilled.
"Go and inform the spy and ask them to transfer a few people to secretly protect Dong Yun and Fei Yi!"
No one answered, but among the dragon and tiger guards who followed him, one person quickly rushed out and walked away quickly.
"Humph! Three to five thousand people, if there are less than 10,000 dead and wounded, it is considered a blessing! Wang Xu then snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more, and walked back to the North Palace on foot full of anger.
Soon after arriving at the Qinzheng Palace, Fei Boren came in a hurry, obviously Fei Yi didn't dare to tell his uncle the reason, and his expression was very confused.
After all, he is just a subordinate official of Honglu Temple, his aunt is Liu Zhang's mother, he also worked for Liu Zhang earlier, and later followed the public to Wang Xu, doing things in a proper manner, there is no fault, but there is nothing too big to do, in view of his original merit, and quite literary, this can be an official in Honglu Temple.
Wang Xu took the freshly brewed tea and blew it gently for a while before he said casually: "Boren! Sit down first! ”
"No!" Fabelen sat down in trepidation. Hesitantly asked, "I don't know if the king of Chu summoned his ministers to come down." What do you command? ”
"It's fine. I just want to talk to you all of a sudden! Wang Xu said lightly.
"This ......"
The more Wang Xu was like this, the more Fei Boren's heart hung, and he already felt a sense of fear at this time, not to mention that he was ashamed in his own heart.
The hall fell silent for a while, Wang Xu leisurely blew tea, and the white mist quickly steamed.
When it cooled down, he took a sip before putting down the teacup. Look at Fabelen. "Boren, what do you think of the Great Wall of Qin?"
"Its extensiveness and its construction are wonderful!" Fei Boren replied truthfully.
"Yes, but when it was built, many people died in the Qin Dynasty!" Wang Xu sighed slightly: "But do you think it's worth it?" ”
"If in the long run, it blocked the Xiongnu in the north for a long period of time, saving more people in the north from being killed and wounded, and your majesty thinks it should be worth it!" Faber said.
"Well, this king thinks so too. Even though it harmed hundreds of people, it still had extraordinary merits! Wang Xu nodded: "Then do you think it is worth it to build a plank road of four or five hundred miles in the mountains?" ”
In an instant, Fei Boren, who was in front of and behind the contact, already knew what he wanted to say, and fell to his knees with a "poof".
"King Chu, the matter of the plank road is really not deliberately concealed, but it is too wide, and the ministers do not have enough evidence, and their power is low, so they dare not speak arrogantly!" Fabelen hurriedly kowtowed and confessed.
"Oh, you still know that it's a sin not to report it!" Wang Xu's face was still indifferent, and he said lightly: "Your nephew Fei Yi, does he have the right?" Can he be honored? He was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he dared to speak out, as a scholar, why didn't you dare to speak? It's ridiculous that you even let him keep his mouth shut, just like you, isn't it ruining his ambition? ”
"What the king of Chu reprimanded is that his subordinates will definitely change their ways!" Faberen said urgently.
Wang Xu ignored him and reprimanded himself: "In your heart, is this king so incompetent and incompetent, and he doesn't even know how to investigate such a big thing?" ”
Fei Boren was forced to be anxious, and helplessly spit out bitterness: "King Chu, it's not that the minister doesn't want to, but this matter is really too wide, and the little nephew Fei Yi and they can all find out, it must be just the tip of the iceberg, according to the two of them, they found these in Fu Luo Road alone, but the three plank roads over there are built by the same people, but if you think about the slope and meridian road, there will inevitably be big problems, and the casualties are likely to be more than 10,000 people." ”
"Besides, repairing the plank road is dangerous, death and injury are inevitable, if you can't find enough evidence, you can hide it completely, and even find some excuses to say that it was an accidental death or injury.
Wang Xu understood him in his heart, but he didn't agree with it at all, shook his head and said, "Do you know why your achievements are limited to this?" That's why! ”
"Your heart is only so big, how can you achieve great things? You are confined to your one-third of an acre, how can you be in a position, use your mind more in everything, do you have to clash head-on, can't you secretly find a way? Can't you find a proper countermeasure, if there is no room for you to play in this entire court, then how can the king and his subordinates get to where they are today? ”
Hearing this, Fei Boren was suddenly stunned, and then seemed to realize something, his face kept changing, and finally sighed and bowed his head.
"That's it." Wang Xu waved his hand: "This matter has nothing to do with you after all, and this king doesn't want to reprimand you more, so I called you here today mainly to talk about one thing!" ”
"The king of Chu can command!" Fei Boren said respectfully.
"Although Fei Yi is young, he has a good character, his intelligence is beginning to show, he is a great talent that can be created, this king wants him to be with Dong Yun in the future, temporarily give up people for the prince, serve around Wang Zheng, focus on training, and when the two of them are too weak to crown, they will enter Shangshutai as a waiter!" Wang Xu said lightly.
Fei Boren was stunned, completely stunned, and couldn't speak for a long time!
What is the prince's house, that is to accompany the heir all the year round, intersect since childhood, how can the feelings not be deep, as long as there is indeed talent, the future must be a smooth journey, all the way to the road, and even become the heir's future right-hand man.
It took a long time for Fabelen to come to his senses. "How can the little nephew Fei Yi be so virtuous, how can he get such love from the king!"
"At such an age, this son is fearless of life and death, dares to fight, dares to take responsibility, dares to face big things, and dares to think about countermeasures, at least your uncle can't do it!" Wang Xu said, he didn't want to talk about it anymore: "This matter is so decided!" ”
"Thank you, King Chu Longen!" Fei Boren was still very happy in his heart, and immediately kowtowed to thank him.
"Let's go down! Don't let this king down again! ”
"No!"
Fei Boren breathed a long sigh of relief, bowed and retreated, and when they were gone, they were already happy, and their faces were full of joy.
In fact, Fei Yi lost his father at a young age, and he has always followed him, he brought him up, and he is no different from his parents, how can he not be happy at this time. (To be continued......)
