Chapter 1002: The Prime Minister's Seven Deadly Sins
Under the complicated eyes of countless people, Peng Heng, who was dressed in a thin white cotton robe, slowly walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
His demeanor was calm, his eyes were calm, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He came in step by step, as a king inspecting his kingdom. Those eyes of surprise, fear, or hatred could not interfere with his mood in the slightest.
He's in a good mood right now.
Like a pebble falling into a pond, an atmosphere of unease permeated the Prime Minister's Mansion. Whether it is as the son of Peng Xian who was executed for attempting rebellion, or as the culprit of Zhuge Qiao's death, or as the brother-in-law of Wei Ba, the biggest enemy of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Peng Heng's appearance in the Prime Minister's Mansion is a provocation, a provocation that is extremely arrogant.
Yang Yi stood at the door of her public office and quietly watched Peng Heng walk in front of her.
Standing in the court, Zhang Yi gently pushed away the scribe who came to report the official document, and frowned slightly. When the scribe saw Peng Heng, he couldn't help but lose his mind a little, and in a trance, he seemed to see a familiar and arrogant figure more than ten years ago.
Several old people from the Prime Minister's Mansion lowered their eyelids and sighed faintly, and their sighs were full of desolate loneliness.
Sixteen years after the prime minister opened the mansion, this is the first time that someone has walked in with such a swagger. Even Wei Ba, the most popular general in the limelight, must maintain a bit of due respect when he enters the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Only this young man walked in with his head held high.
Peng Heng held his head high, and under the gaze of countless eyes, he calmly walked into the atrium of the Prime Minister's Mansion and stood in front of Zhuge Liang.
He looked at Zhuge Liang, who was sitting in front of the desk. He smiled slightly and bowed his hand: "It seems that I came in time." ”
Zhuge Liang ignored the sarcasm in his words, raised his eyelids, and glanced at him: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”
Peng Heng smiled: "Although the prime minister is only in the name of Confucianism and follows the way of Legalism, this way of hospitality is too perfunctory, right?" Don't even have a seat? You must know that I am not a subordinate who came to report on my work today, but a messenger who came to see the prime minister on the road. These two countries are at war, and they are not yet killed. Prime Minister, you are rude. ”
"Whose country are you an emissary?" Zhuge Liang sneered: "Wei State." Or Wu Guo? ”
"Jin Kingdom."
Zhuge Liang was stunned. Then he held his breath. His eyes suddenly became fierce, like a knife like a sword, and fell on Peng Heng's face.
"How did you know the truth?"
Yes, even if Peng Heng has been lurking in Chang'an. Zhilu Dao court wants to crown Wei Ba as king. But how did he know that Lu Dao was the king of Jin? Calculated over time. Liu Min and the others should have just arrived in Qingzhou now, and the matter may have come to an end, but Peng Heng shouldn't know what to do.
There is only one possibility. Someone leaked the contents of the edict and revealed it to him. Since this is the case, then he will definitely tell Wei Ba and let Wei Ba have a defense. In this way, Liu Min's trip to Qingzhou is very dangerous.
Feng Jin Wang and seized military power, this is a move to stimulate Wei Ba, what he wants is that he has no time to deal with it on the spot. If you know the Tao in advance, then what's the point?
The corners of Zhuge Liang's eyes twitched involuntarily, and a thick uneasiness surged into his heart.
"Because I've already received news from King Jin." Peng Heng smiled, he especially enjoyed this feeling. Zhuge Liang's uneasiness all fell into his eyes, and he knew that Zhuge Liang's psychological defense line was broken by him at once. "I came today to pass on a few words to King Jin, so that you can go on the road with peace of mind."
Zhuge Liang snorted lightly, he didn't believe Peng Heng's words. Linzi is more than 3,000 miles here, even if Wei Ba uses 600 miles to expedite, he can't send it, not to mention that 600 miles expedited is definitely not something that can be done with financial resources. Entering Wuguan Dao, it is within his control. If someone had galloped, the news would have been delivered to him long ago.
"Say it." Zhuge Liang retracted his eyes and said lightly. He waved his hand, someone took a seat, Peng Heng sat down, slowly tidied up his flat clothes, then coughed, and said loudly:
"Prime Minister, you have seven deadly sins."
Zhuge Liang replied disdainfully.
"One, disloyalty." Peng Hengshu raised a finger: "You have violated the edict of the first emperor, monopolized power for nearly fifteen years, and the Son of Heaven is nearly thirty years old, and you still do not return to power." In the name of the father, he did the truth of the father; As a minister, he exercises the power of a king. It is disloyal to the ministers. ”
Zhuge Liang should not be gloomy, and his eyes are like ancient wells without waves.
"Second, unfilial piety." Peng Heng calmly raised a second finger: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest." The prime minister was over 40 years old and had no children, but he adopted his brother and son to succeed him, and he was not good at teaching, putting him in danger, causing the ancestral bloodline to be cut off. It is for the son to be unfilial. ”
Zhuge Liang's eyes turned red, and he hissed: "If I remember correctly, Bo Song died at your hands." ”
"His man died at my hands, but his heart has long since died, and I am only helping him to be freed." Peng Heng said lightly: "You have a biological son, you regard your adopted son as a thorn in your side, and he is strict everywhere, he was already crazy before he was stabbed to death by me, do you know the way?" ”
"Nonsense."
"Whether it's gibberish or not, you know it yourself." Peng Heng smiled: "I won't tell you, these are what King Jin told me, Zhuge Qiao has a strict father who is picky everywhere, and there are opponents who are rising step by step, and he has long been overwhelmed." Death is actually a relief for him. To put it more bluntly, if he is not killed by me, he will be forced to die by you. ”
Zhuge Liang's face turned pale.
"Third, unkindness." Peng Heng continued to list Zhuge Liang's crimes: "Knowing that he was not good at military affairs, he used troops for many years, causing innocent people to lose their families, wives and husbands, fathers and sons, mourning all over the wilderness, and mourning every household." With the power of a monarch and father, but without the benevolence of a monarch. It's for the sake of the king. ”
"Fourth, unrighteousness. Guan Hou is proud of the scholars, and only regards the prime minister as a confidant, and the prime minister does not fulfill the responsibility of his friends, but instead lies to deal with it, and wants to capture the past. The father regarded the prime minister as a close friend, and he did not say anything to tell him, but the prime minister smeared it to sue the emperor and accused him of disloyalty. Ma Liang regarded the prime minister as a brother and died in state affairs, and his children had no honor. Ma Tan regards the prime minister as his father, gets along day and night, and puts his heart in his heart. Once the army is defeated, it is a friend and an injustice to kill him. ”
"Fifth. Impolite. In the name of recuperation, he settled in the palace province, relied on the old and sold the old, and lost the gift of the minister. ”
"Sixth, unwise. The Central Plains is a mere Shu and a map, and the military aircraft is unknown. There are good generals but they can't use it, there are clever plans but they can't adopt them, they are stubborn, they insist on going their own way, and they lose money and don't reflect on themselves. The king of Jin is a bear and a tiger. Several remarks. wanted to join forces with the prime minister and serve the court together, but the prime minister refused. He has come to this point, and it is the prime minister's sin. Prime minister. He was forced to rebel by you. You pride yourself on being loyal to the Great Man. But you don't know that you yourself are the gravedigger of the Great Han. I don't know, I don't know; To know no one is to be unwise. ”
"Seventh. Unbelief. A man cannot stand without faith. Meng Da misses his homeland and wants to raise the county anyway, but the prime minister is determined to do so, but he leaks secrets to Wei, and he can't save him when he sees death; The plan of the king of Jin and his son to build the Meridian Valley, the prime minister made his father and son as bait and took Longyou by himself; In the meeting of the building boat, in full view of everyone, the prime minister promised to give up the military power, discuss the plan with the general and the general of the chariot and cavalry, and seize the general's army when it changes hands. The former was untrustworthy to Meng Da, the middle was untrustworthy to the Jin king's father and son, and the latter was untrustworthy to His Majesty and the people of the world. ”
"Disloyalty, unfilial piety, unkindness, unrighteousness, disrespect, unwisdom, unbelief." Peng Heng said word by word: "Prime Minister, what else do you have to live?" ”
Zhuge Liang laughed silently, his eyes full of sarcasm: "You are as eloquent as your father." However, Lao Tzu has a saying, and it is better to keep the middle than to say too much. If you say too much, you will lose. Your father just died because he couldn't control his mouth. ”
Peng Heng laughed: "Prime Minister, don't just talk about others. It's better to keep the middle than to talk too much, have you done it yourself? The teacher is sprinkled with a teacher's table, quoting scriptures and classics at every turn, talking eloquently, do you really think that you have mastered the truth and can be invincible? ”
He shook his head: "You are wrong, no one refuted you at that time, because you have the right, and whoever dares to refute you will be relegated to a wild land by you." Therefore, my father died because of your slander; Liao Li, who was favored by the first emperor, went to Wenshan; The king of Jin, who made great contributions in the Northern Expedition, was sent to Yiyuan by you; The resourceful and decisive Yang Hong was suppressed by you and died depressed. Prime Minister, that's because you are in power first, so you can be invincible, not because you are from the teachings of the saints and keep your word. ”
Zhuge Liang smiled: "Since this is the case, then I also have a few words to say." ”
"Absolutely." Peng Heng nodded calmly: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has instructed you to lose convincingly." ”
Zhuge Liang was indifferent: "Supplementing the government with the prime minister is the edict of the first emperor." The first emperor knew that His Majesty's talent was not enough to rule the world, so he entrusted His Majesty to me, instead of entrusting me to His Majesty. His Majesty is called my father, and I naturally can't call myself a courtier. It is natural for the father to teach the son, and the intelligence of His Majesty is not enough to govern the government. ”
Peng Heng smiled slightly, disdainful of replying.
"I am over forty years old and have no children, and I am not willing to have them, but I cannot have them, so why should I not be filial? Not to mention that my brothers all have blood, my son Bosong has a son, and I also have a son, which is enough to pass on the bloodline of my ancestors, why not be filial? ”
"The prime minister arranged for the dead to assassinate the general of the Che Cavalry, Zhuge Dan, Zhuge Ke and others were implicated, the prime minister thinks, how many of your Zhuge family can be spared?" Peng Heng interrupted Zhuge Liang's words and laughed: "I won't tell you, Zhuge Dan has been killed on the spot, and Zhuge Ke's brothers are tied, and now the evidence is conclusive, and only one is dead." ”
Zhuge Liang's face suddenly turned pale. He always thought that Peng Heng knew that Wei Ba Jin Jue and King Jin were because someone in the Prime Minister's Mansion leaked secrets, and now when he heard this, he realized that things in Lu Dao might not be so simple. Zhuge was born dead, and Zhuge Ke's brothers were captured, which naturally Wei Ba had already been deployed, and now he was in front of them.
If you miss a move, don't move or kick. Zhuge Liang suddenly remembered what Wei Ba had said.
"How did you do that?" Zhuge Liang said in a hoarse voice.
"There is a bird called a pigeon in the land of Yunnan. You can travel five or six hundred miles a day, which is much more convenient than six hundred miles. Peng Heng laughed loudly, laughing so freely, laughing so relieved, and laughing so proudly. On the 28th day of the first month, Liu Min and Liu Yu wanted to assassinate the king of Jin, Liu Min was bound, and more than 100 people including Liu Yu were killed on the spot. Last night, I received word to visit you early this morning. Prime Minister, I was so excited that I didn't sleep well all night. ”
Zhuge Liang's sharp rebuttals in his stomach came to naught, Liu Min and they missed, no matter how nice they sounded, it was meaningless. Now, what he has to face is not Peng Heng's revenge, but Wei Ba's counterattack.
What about the seven deadly sins, he has only one sin, and that is failure
