Chapter 167: Leaving the City Overnight (Fourth Shift)
"Actually, it's not a big deal, I formed an alliance with Zhuge Yin and others, this alliance is to defend the imperial power, in layman's terms, I and Zhuge Yin they are the imperial party, now Emperor Xiaozong is dead, the imperial power of the Celestial Dynasty is in the hands of the queen mother, this is the last thing I and Zhuge Yin want to see, so we want to support the eldest prince to succeed to the throne, and it is a matter of course for the eldest son and grandson to inherit the throne, this is the choice of the imperial party. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Cao Zhuo's tone seemed to be saying a very ordinary thing.
However, the hermit was shocked, the imperial party belongs to the loyal ministers who do not form gangs, they are generally one or a few people, but the number is definitely not too much, because the imperial party does not belong to any party, but is loyal to the emperor, and is obedient to the emperor, once something happens, no one will protect him, or the emperor does not know such a person, this is the saddest fate of the imperial party, and there are also people who stand in high positions in the court, but they are helpless, and some are the emperor's backers, This alone is what all the imperialists want most.
However, now Cao Zhuo seems that the imperial party has deteriorated a little, because Cao Zhuo and Zhuge Yin have gathered too many loyal ministers of the imperial party, so that the imperial party will inevitably degenerate in the future and become a personal party or henchman.
"Big brother, tell me such an important thing, do you want the dragon robe in my hand?" The Heavenly Hermit looked at Cao Zhuo and looked him directly into the eyes.
Cao Zhuo smiled and said, "Brother, who do you think of your eldest brother?" When you want to take out the dragon robe, you will naturally take it out, and if you don't want to take it out, you can't grab it. Then Cao Zhuo patted the shoulder of the hermit, and said: "You still don't understand what the imperial party is, the imperial party is the courtier who stands in front of the emperor, shelters the emperor from the wind and rain, and swears to serve his life, even if you don't have the dragon robe in your hand, the eldest prince is still the emperor in the eyes of the imperial party." ”
"I understand that the existence of the imperial party exists because of the emperor." Tianyike nodded, it is true that if there is no emperor, then where does the imperial party come from?
"Brother, the eldest brother told you this because we are brothers, I didn't want to hide anything from you, and I didn't tell you for no reason, the eldest brother hopes that you can also serve the eldest prince." Cao Zhuo said in a deep tone.
"A companion is like a tiger, big brother, you can spare me."
"Because of this, I need you to join more, only the power of the courtiers is greater, so that the emperor can make the right choice, although the imperial power is the first, but not all, sometimes the emperor's words will be wrong, which needs to be corrected by the imperial party, from ancient times to the present, the courtiers of the imperial party are all admonished by death, just to otherwise the emperor does something wrong, this is one of the responsibilities of the imperial courtiers."
Tianyinke looked at Cao Zhuo for a long time and did not speak, according to Cao Zhuo's meaning, the imperial party had already produced the intention of swaying the imperial power.
Cao Zhuo also looked at the hermit, and then said, "Do you think that the eldest brother has swayed the imperial power?" ”
"Nothing can escape the golden eyes of the eldest brother." Tianyinke said with a smile, there is no need to hide Cao Zhuo's these, after all, they are all brothers.
"Hehe, in fact, we are not trying to control the imperial power, but to change the dictatorship into discussion, the emperor and the courtiers discuss the feasible law, and the policy can only be implemented when many courtiers feel that they are working together, and the specific details still have to ask Zhuge Yin, these are all advocated by him."
"So, does the eldest brother want to win over Meng Chao to join the Imperial Party?" Tianyinke remembered Cao Zhuo's attitude towards Meng Chao today.
"That's right, the imperial party lacks generals with military talents, Zhuge Yin is also a half-bucket of water, and big brother I only know how to rush forward when I fight, so leading the army must have a famous general, and Meng Chao is just right."
"Now almost all the armies under the Great Prince belong to the commander's own army, so it is impossible to let the army join the Imperial Party, they give priority to their own interests, so you don't consider the commanders of each family, big brother." The hermit thought for a moment and said.
Cao Zhuo smiled and said: "I'll just say brother, it's a pity that you don't stay, you and Zhuge Yin have exactly the same idea, why don't you stay to help the eldest brother?" ”
Cao Zhuo changed from serving the eldest prince before to helping him.
The Sky Hermit looked up at the starry night sky and said, "No, I still have my own things to do, as for these things, I will talk about them in the future." ”
Looking at the preoccupied appearance of the hermit, Cao Zhuo asked tentatively, "You can't be thinking about Miss Yu'er, right?" ”
"Yu'er?" Yes, Yu'er doesn't know what's going on now, but the hermit is thinking of Yu'er at this moment, not Yumei.
Then, Cao Zhuo sighed and said: "That's right, brother, you are not too young, and it is time to get married." ”
"Big brother, it's far away." Then Tianyinke seemed to remember something and asked Cao Zhuo: "By the way, has the eldest brother seen Uncle Li in the past few years?" ”
"Old man Li? Hey......" Speaking of Li Shinong, Cao Zhuo sighed, Li Shinong is like a father to Cao Zhuo, but loyalty and filial piety cannot be both since ancient times.
Seeing Cao Zhuo's appearance, Tianyinke was also clear in his heart, and took the lead in taking steps forward.
Looking at the back of the hermit, Cao Zhuo said leisurely: "Brother, the capital's defenses are stricter than when you and I were there, even the spies I trained myself can't penetrate the capital, it was not difficult to see Old Man Li, as long as someone carries a note and let Old Man Li go out of the city, but ......"
Hearing Cao Zhuo's words, the Heavenly Hermit suddenly shuddered and turned around to look at Cao Zhuo, frowning deeply: "But what?" ”
"Old man Li has been monitored, once there is a trace of me and you, they will use Old Man Li to blackmail us." Cao Zhuo said with tears in his eyes.
Tianyinke clenched his fists with both hands: "Why didn't Lin Shihao and Wang Cheng tell me?" "When they were at the Shaolin Temple, the two of them didn't mention it at all.
"Naturally, they can't say it, because it's not Jinyiwei who wants to arrest you, but the palace, and the person who executes this order is Li Tianshan, who we regard as a brother." Cao Zhuo still told the story.
"Li Tianshan?" The Heavenly Hermit will never forget Li Tianshan, who evolved from a beast fox to a beast god fox: "That's okay, at least Uncle Li won't be in any danger." "When he was in the capital, Li Shinong liked Li Tianshan very much, and taught him to play chess or something, Li Tianshan's surname Li was with Li Shinong, so he was not afraid that Li Tianshan would poison Li Shinong.
"Yes, fortunately, if Li Tianshan had been replaced by someone else, I am afraid that Old Man Li would have been imprisoned in the prison and forced us to show up."
"Big brother." Suddenly, the Sky Hermit looked at Cao Zhuo and shouted solemnly.
Cao Zhuo smiled and asked, "What?" A serious expression? ”
"Big brother, I'm leaving, I don't know when we'll see each other after saying goodbye." Tianyinke really regards Cao Zhuo as a brother and a big brother, but he can't stay in the capital for a long time, and there are still many things waiting to be done by himself.
"Going?" Cao Zhuo frowned: "That's tomorrow, you still have to resign to the eldest prince." ”
Tianyinke shook his head: "I plan to leave tonight, so I have to worry about the eldest brother." ”
"Open the gates." Now the only thing that can trouble you is to open the city gate, and as soon as you go to the capital, the city gate will be closed at night, and you will not be allowed to enter or exit, unless you have a token of the great prince or a token of the great prince's guard, such as Iron Fist.
Just as the hermit nodded and spoke, Cao Zhuo said again, "You don't see your Yu'er girl?" ”
"Miss Yu'er is very much like a person, but like Guixiang, they are still two people after all." When the jade beauty is by the side of the hermit, all the sky hermit thinks in his heart is Yu'er, and the more he thinks about it, the more annoying the Tianhermit becomes, even if the jade beauty looks like Yu'er, the hermit can't feel the feeling of Yu'er by his side, so the jade beauty is not Yu'er, but the jade beauty.
So if it goes on like this, Tianyinke is afraid that he will think of Yu'er and go crazy.
Cao Zhuo nodded and teased: "A woman who is like a flower and jade was abandoned by you like this, brother, you really did a sin." ”
"Whether it's fate or sin, everything will cease to exist after tonight, and for me it's just a dream of Nanke."
Tianyinke left the capital all night, walked very chicly, and rode the red dragon empty-handed when he came, but there was one more person when he left.
Broken sword.
On the city wall, Cao Zhuo and Iron Fist watched as the red light disappeared into the night.
"Master, will there be a problem with just letting Uncle Shi go?" I don't know when, Meng En suddenly appeared next to Cao Zhuo, originally Cao Zhuo and Iron Fist, but Meng En's appearance was very ordinary, as if it was three people instead of two people just now.
For Meng En, who came silently, Cao Zhuo and Iron Fist were not a little surprised.
"It's good for him to go, how many people in Shangjing City have the idea of the dragon robe in my brother's hand? If they want to ask for credit, they will attack my brother, and there is a big man in the capital, so I don't believe that he is not moved by the dragon robe. Cao Zhuo's eyes suddenly exuded a faint murderous aura.
Meng En looked at the night in the distance and said, "It seems that the master has already figured out how to say to the eldest prince, and he is worried about it." ”
"Haha." Cao Zhuo smiled casually: "You, I'm afraid I've thought of it a long time ago, but you just came to explore the teacher's style." ”
Meng En smiled slightly, and then said with a straight face: "Master, the eldest prince allowed King Wen to go back to Yanjing City, what do you think about this?" ”
Cao Zhuo smiled: "As a teacher, I don't like to beat around the bush, you can just say anything directly." ”
"I still can't hide it from the master, and the apprentice wants to infiltrate the capital and spy on him around King Wen." Meng En's tone of voice was very flat, and more importantly, he couldn't even feel the breath of speaking.
"Spy on King Wen, this is feasible, but we have to wait until you recruit one more guard, otherwise the six guards of the great prince are really the six guards worthy of the name."
Fu Quanlin took people to the post house that night to find a hermit to seek revenge, but was intercepted by Meng En, but soon after, Cao Zhuo learned about this matter, and one person directly took Fu Quanlin out of his mansion, afraid that he had already gone to the king of Hades to report.
Meng En thought for a moment and said, "Master, this matter can be carried out together with the surveillance of King Wen, and I can also look for good candidates in Shangjing and Yanjing." ”
Seeing that Meng En had already made up his mind, Cao Zhuo didn't say anything: "I believe in your vision, but you must remember that you still have a wife and children at home." At the end, Cao Zhuo still reminded him.
"The apprentice will do what he can." Meng En solemnly saluted Cao Zhuo, and then said to Iron Fist, "Take good care of Master for Brother Wei." ”.
Cao Zhuo smiled: "You don't need me to take care of them, you have to snicker, and you want them to take care of me." ”
"Senior brother, don't worry, sister-in-law and children, our brothers will take care of them." Iron Fist returned the salute to Monne.
When Iron Fist raised his head, Meng En had already disappeared, and he couldn't help but say, "Master, Senior Brother's light skills can't even compare to chasing the wind." ”
Cao Zhuo was stunned, but did not speak.
Light work? I also think it's a light work, but unfortunately it's not.
Fortunately, the hermit left, otherwise facing his brother every day, I was really afraid that I couldn't help but tell that thing.
