Chapter 11: The First Year of Yuanjia (I)
"Sir! Mr! ”
Ji Zixun raised his head when he heard the sound of the chess game in his hand, although the 17-year-old boy was wearing a black official uniform embroidered with gold patterns, he looked nervous, and hurriedly crossed the threshold and ran to the chess table and knelt down, "Zhongshu Ling is almost in Jiangling!" ”
Ji Zixun calmly fell, "In mid-June, Jiankang came with news to welcome you as emperor, isn't it expected that Master Fu will come?" ”
Followed by Yan Zhi, who sat in the back half of the young man's right side, took off the sword on his body and put it beside him, his face was full of solemnity, "Sir, the young emperor was deposed after less than two years of reign, and the king of Luling was demoted to a concubine." ”
"The young emperor has no children, and the king of Luling has lost his inheritance qualifications, so it stands to reason that the king of Yidu should succeed to the throne." Ji Zixun put down the chess game and looked at the two people in front of him with a calm face, "Gaozu left his will, and the minister of Gu ordered to assist the young emperor, if it weren't for the young emperor's excessive games and ignoring national affairs, with the loyalty of the three adults, how could he choose to abolish the emperor?" ”
Seeing that the young man was still timid, Ji Zixun shook his head slightly, "If the three adults have a disobedient heart, they should not abolish the young emperor, after all, only the young emperor does not listen to political affairs, and the three adults can monopolize the government." Since the adults are willing to support you as the emperor, it means that they feel that you have the legacy of your ancestors and can take on this great responsibility. When you return to Jiankang this time, we will naturally accompany you, so what is there to fear? ”
The young man thought for a moment, turned his head to look at Zhi Yanzhi on the side, nodded seriously, got up from the seat, and bowed deeply to Ji Zixun, "Yilong believes in Mr.'s judgment, and Yilong's life will be handed over to Mr. ”
"It's not for me, it's for the country." Ji Zixun couldn't get up, so he could only bow down a few times and bow to Liu Yilong, "I hope that the king of Yidu can live up to expectations." ”
Liu Yilong nodded solemnly again, straightened his back and walked out.
Feeling that the young man had left the room, Ji Zixun straightened up, and the moment he looked up, he saw Hikozhi looking at him with complicated eyes, "What's wrong?" ”
"Daoyu met Mr. in the sixth year of Yixi, and thanks to Mr., he was able to break through Xishu and recover the White Emperor City. In the past ten years, it is not so much that Mr. Daoyu has followed Daoyu, but that Daoyu has attached himself to Mr. Zhi Yanzhi's voice was full of worry, "Dao Yu naturally believes that Mr. will not harm King Yidu, but since Minister Gu Ming dares to abolish the young emperor, it is naturally possible that he will want to kill King Yidu with a plan this time." ”
Ji Zixun slapped the table, shook the chess pieces on the chessboard, and looked at Yan Zhi's eyes full of slaughter, "In the past thirty years, which time did you not gamble your life?" is so cringe-induced this time, is this too nourishing for all these years in Jingzhou? ”
Although Ji Zixun was sitting on the seat, Zhi Yanzhi felt that a giant snake seemed to appear behind him and opened its bloody mouth towards him, and the murderous aura seemed to force Zhi Yanzhi to fall directly to the ground, "Mr. Wang's anger!" ”
"Daoyu, is the object of your allegiance Gaozu, the king of Yidu, or this country?!" Ji Zixun's killing intent was not collected, and his blood-colored eyes stared at Yanzi deadly, "Why do you think those three people abolished King Luling?" The king of Luling is handsome and beautiful, and he stayed in Chang'an with Gaozu's Northern Expedition to pacify Guanzhong in the twelfth year, and the result is? Give unbridledness, with soldiers plundering treasures and beauties. Virtue is lighter than talent, how to be a king? ”
After shouting out, Ji Zixun calmed down a little, restrained his anger, and looked at Yan Zhi with a little hatred for iron and steel, "Or for you, Zongwen is the one who abolishes the master, but in my opinion, he just thinks that the young emperor is not a king." King Yidu can be said to have grown up watching you, and I naturally understand your worries about it, but you have to remember that you are loyal to this country, and in this regard, you still need to learn from Zongwen. ”
Xu Xianzhi is now the prime minister, and at this time, the young emperor is abolished, and Xu Xianzhi almost monopolizes power in the government and the opposition. In the entire Song Kingdom, the only one who dares to call Xu Xianzhi Zongwen may be Ji Zixun.
To Yanzhi knows, it's not that Xu Xianzhi's influence is not enough, but Ji Zixun is really not afraid of this. Maybe in front of Xu Xianzhi, Ji Zixun will call him a prime minister, but this is just a courtesy requirement.
By the time Yanzhi had known Ji Zixun for more than ten years, he himself began to grow gorgeous hair, but Ji Zixun's appearance had not changed. The existence of Ji Zixun, except for him and Liu Yilong, the king of Yidu, no one is clear, but they only know that there is a strategist by Yanzhi's side.
"If the king of Yidu is afraid, you should be emboldened by action; If the king of Yidu is confused, you need to solve the riddle; If the king of Yidu does something, you must have the courage to admonish. Ji Zixun tapped his fingers on the chessboard to signal Yan Zhi to get up, "King Yidu is young, and after seeing the Zhongshu Order, he can't help but be suspicious and afraid, you have to persuade him more." ”
"The prime minister and others can trick the young emperor into abolishing the king of Luling, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not trap and kill the king of Yidu."
Things went round and round and returned to the original place, Ji Zixun sighed, but at this time he also figured it out: people's hearts are unpredictable, and their two brothers could turn against each other back then, who can guarantee that the courtiers can always have a loyal heart.
"You go and open the third compartment of the cabinet on the left side of the couch and bring the wooden box inside."
When Yan Zhi heard this, he took out a wooden box engraved with the word "Ji" in the cabinet and handed it to Ji Zixun. Ji Zixun opened the wooden box and took out a piece of animal bone that had been polished into an arc shape. The bones are white, perforated at both ends, and strips of fine cloth pass through them.
"You stick your head out."
To Yanzhi quickly sat down, leaning his head over, but Ji Zixun turned his head sideways to face him, the curved beast bone was close to Yanzhi's left ear, and the cloth strips were wrapped around the ear one by one, and finally the beast bone and the left ear were tightly wrapped together.
"Can you hear me?"
The male voice that sounded in his head startled Hikoyuki to straighten up, and if it weren't for the familiar voice, he would have to draw his sword.
"I think I can hear it."
Zhi Yanzhi looked at Ji Zixun in shock, obviously his mouth was not open, but his voice appeared in his head. Although he expected that Ji Zixun was not a mortal, he did not expect this method.
"I don't know what you're thinking right now, it can only help you read my mind, I can't hear your thoughts."
"Sir......" Hikoyuki said tremblingly, fear rising in his eyes.
"It's not witchcraft, I don't need to harm you yet." Ji Zixun didn't speak, and still communicated with Zhi Yanzhi through his own heart, "It can read my heart, and naturally it can also read the heart of Zhongshu Ling." At that time, if you accompany King Yidu to see Zhongshu Ling, you will naturally know whether they really welcome King Yidu back or trap him. However, due to the large number of people present, it may be a bit noisy, so don't be impatient. ”
Seeing Hikoko nodding nervously, Ji Zixun laughed softly, "Don't be afraid, as long as you don't respond, no one knows that you can hear them." If you are asked what happened to your ear, you will say that you have accidentally been cut by a knife. ”
