Chapter 44: The Alliance Is Reached!

The feeling of powerlessness was like a pervasive poisonous insect, invading every inch of his body and gnawing at his internal organs.

Looking at Fu Wenxiu's helpless appearance, the last trace of anger in Wei Jin's heart turned into distress, he watched Fu Wenxiu grow up, and he couldn't understand the character of this kid.

Fu Wenxiu is not like this, he is a child who grew up in the sun, his eyes are family harmony, the people are healthy, he is not good at power, but he is very proficient in the way of governing the country, and he has great ambitions, and wants to build Daliang into a strong country.

But what about Fu Wenlang, the king of Zhou? He has been accompanied by darkness since he was a child, grew up in the deep palace, and learned all kinds of cunning and treacherous tricks more than poetry and books. Compared with the two, once he joined the WTO, it was naturally Fu Wenlang who could eat well, and the ambition in Fu Wenxiu's heart was worn out in being framed and failed again and again......

Fortunately, the emperor's heart is towards the prince.

Thinking of this, Wei Jin sighed and said seriously: "Wen Xiu, I know you are wronged, but this is officialdom and reality, you can't live in your ideals forever, don't you want to avenge your strange death?" ”

Fu Wenxiu was stunned, mentioning his mother, he subconsciously grabbed his clothes, seemed to be in pain, paused for a long time, and then said with difficulty: "I want to ......"

There are many shady battles in the deep palace, but her mother, as the queen, never participates in them, like Fu Wenxiu, she hates this kind of intrigue that cannot be put on the table, and with the favor of her father, her position is also stable.

But how can you survive in the harem only by holy grace, that year Fu Wenxiu was only five years old, and was woken up by the noise of the palace people at night, he just rushed into his mother's room, and saw that she was highly poisonous, lying on the bed with a pale face, and dying.

He knelt in front of the bed, crying and begging his mother not to go, but she smiled and told him that in the future, he would listen to his father's words and be a Ming Jun, she said that she had no regrets in this life, and she did not want her child to live in hatred, let alone investigate the cause of her death.

But how could he not investigate, the imperial doctor said that his mother was sick from overwork, but only he knew how fragile his mother's body was, and it was obvious that someone had framed her.

The person who started the attack was extremely cautious and dealt with the evidence thoroughly, so that after so many years of investigation, there were only some clues, but Fu Wenxiu's intuition believed that this person was the current queen, Zhuang Daiqing!

He clenched his fists, and his voice was hoarse: "I think about it day and night, all the time, but now the harem of the court is full of people from King Zhou, and the tasks assigned by my father are overwhelming." Taifu, you tell me, what should I do......"

Fu Wenxiu said, his voice became quieter, he lowered his head, his body trembled slightly, embarrassed and desperate.

Wei Jin sighed: "That's why I stopped this for you." As he spoke, Wei Jin took out a letter from his sleeve.

Fu Wenxiu looked up and saw the thing in his hand, and was shocked: "This ...... It's a secret letter from the national teacher! ”

"No, no." Fu Wenxiu shook his head again and again: "I know what Taifu means, although an alliance with the Duan and Bai families can compete with King Zhou, but in this way, I have also become a villain who is scheming and secretly playing conspiracy, and Shu Wenxiu can't do it!" ”

Although his mother wished him to become a Ming Jun, she didn't want him to become a scheming villain, so when he saw the secret letter from the national teacher, he immediately retreated!

The mention of this Wei Jin was a headache, he frowned, and sighed: "Wen Xiu, you said that there are people from the king of Zhou inside and outside the court, you can't investigate the cause of your mother's death, and now the Duan family and the Bai family want to form an alliance with you, isn't it a good opportunity to expand your power?" Besides, in this dye-like court, it is impossible for you to monologue, and sometimes it is necessary to use some special means, so you listen to the advice of the Taifu, don't be in a hurry to deny it completely, listen to what the two say, how? ”

Fu Wenxiu's voice paused, and at this moment, the little guy outside the door hurriedly came in, and saluted: "The prince, the prince, the national teacher and the protector general are outside asking to see you!" ”

Wei Jin looked at Fu Wenxiu, a trace of hesitation flashed on his face, and he sighed and said, "That's it, welcome the two of you in." ”

"Yes."

"Minister, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" Duan Qirui and Bai Xin half-knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

"Two of you, please!" Fu Wenxiu waved his hand to signal the maid to serve tea, and when he looked at the two and wanted to talk, he was held down by Wei Jin, who was sitting on the side.

He looked at the two of them and said first: "We have already learned about the alliance in a secret letter, and the old man came from the Taifu Mansion today to discuss this matter. ”

The implication is to hear how sincere they are.

The two glanced at each other, tacitly, Duan Qirui smiled modestly: "Do you know that the reservoir that King Zhou went to Jiangxi to build this time was not from him?" ”

Hearing this, the prince and Wei Jin were stunned, Duan Qirui took in this expression, and then continued: "King Zhou is good at recruiting wise men, and he knows how to control people, and the reservoir is from the hands of strange people and strange people in northern Xinjiang that he recruited, let's ignore his merit for the time being, as far as the reservoir is concerned, I want to ask the prince, is this a move to benefit the people?" ”

Although Fu Wenxiu was unwilling, he still nodded.

"That's it." Duan Qirui smiled slightly, picked up an empty teacup on the table, "Now the prince is this empty cup, which has an empty surface in the hearts of the people, but it is useless, let alone weightless. ”

As he spoke, he poured tea into the cup again, and said with a smile: "And the general and I are this tea, without the teacup, the tea will only flow everywhere, and finally it will be evaporated by the sun." But only with tea in a teacup can they complement each other and make the best use of things. ”

Wei Jinran nodded, in other words, only when the two sides form an alliance can they maximize each other's strength.

Fu Wenxiu didn't speak, just looked at the empty teacup, could it be that he had been thinking wrong for so long?

Seeing this, Bai Xin coughed lightly and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, my Bai family has been loyal and good for generations, and I dare not guarantee anything else, but as long as the prince gives an order, my Bai family's army of 200,000 elite soldiers will all be dispatched by the prince!" ”

Duan Qirui continued to answer: "Although my Duan family has no military power, no one can compare to it in terms of strategy. ”

The military power and resourcefulness are all complete, if this is not sincere enough, they will really cry and faint at the door of the prince's mansion.

Wei Jin looked sideways at Fu Wenxiu, waiting for his attitude, everyone's eyes were on him, as long as he nodded, the alliance was established, and the party of King Zhou would be destroyed!

Fu Wenxiu clenched the handrail, and there were countless voices shouting in his head - he wanted to avenge his mother, he wanted to defeat King Zhou, prove his ability to show his father, and he wanted to create a peaceful and prosperous world for the people!

Finally, he raised his head, Qingming's eyes flashed with unprecedented sharpness, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, I promise!" ”

Who has no storm, clear the clouds and see the moon, King Zhou, Zhuang, Si Jia, he has been oppressed enough, and he has been bullied enough, if the art of operating the emperor can fulfill his mother's last wish and avenge his blood and hatred, what does the alliance matter!

Bai Xin laughed heartily, Duan Qirui also secretly clenched his fists, now that the alliance has been formed, it is not in vain that Sinan risked his life and led Princess Zhou away from the eyes hidden in the prince's mansion......

Wei Jin looked at Fu Wenxiu and nodded, it seemed that he had finally figured it out.

"That's right, Prince." Bai Xin suddenly thought of something important, and said solemnly: "As far as the minister knows, King Zhou secretly trains troops in the suburbs outside Kyoto City, which is only a small part of his private army, and more are buried in all directions of Kyoto, presumably as long as he gives an order, he can gather an army......"

Fu Wenxiu's brows were furrowed, and his slightly deep voice was filled with murderous intent, "If he suddenly rebels, it will definitely be unjustifiable, and there is still one chance left." ”

He looked at Duan Qirui and said in unison: "Public opinion." ”

Duan Qirui raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Fu Wenxiu to be so upright, and continued to explain: "The people support him, but the prince is incompetent, but the emperor insists on advocating the crown prince to the throne, and rebels in order to conform to the will of the people, which is justified." ”

"He deliberately designed and changed the prescription for the locust plague so that I could leave a bad impression in the hearts of the people, so as to pave the way for his next step." Fu Wenxiu smiled coldly, "It's really like those palace women, they are vicious!" ”

The corners of Duan Qirui's mouth hooked silently, secretly glad that this ally was smart enough to find the right one, and at the same time took out a piece of paper.

"King Zhou's wolf ambition, I saw it a long time ago, so I also thought of a corresponding way to deal with it." Duan Qirui handed the piece of paper to Fu Wenxiu, "This is a newly developed prescription against locusts, but this medicine will first strengthen locusts at the cost of life for half a day, and after half a day, they will run out of life and die, when the locust plague worsens again, King Zhou will definitely not be able to sit still, and when he rebels, it will be the day we capture him!" ”

Fu Wenxiu looked at the prescription, the surprise on his face became heavier and heavier, and he hurriedly asked, "Is this ...... Who wrote this prescription?! ”

Although he has not been in the disaster area for a long time, he has also learned a lot of medicinal materials and medicines such as locust extermination, and he and the pharmacist have been studying hard for several days, and they are not very much half of the card in their hands!

"Yes......" Duan Qirui didn't expect him to ask this, and was stunned for a moment before saying: "It's the daughter of the minister, the Duan family once had a daughter who was abducted by traffickers when she was a child, she was adopted by a private doctor and learned some medical skills, and this medicine is conveniently from the hands of the youngest daughter." ”

Of course, this miserable life story was made up by Sinan himself, and he listened to it, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.

"That's it......" Fu Wenxiu looked at the prescription and nodded repeatedly, his eyes were full of appreciation: "Another day, the National Teacher will definitely bring your little daughter to me to see, such a powerful medical skill is placed in the people." ”

"Yes, the minister thanked His Highness for his appreciation for his youngest daughter." Duan Qirui bowed, but secretly complained for Sinan in his heart, and he didn't know how long the fake human skin would last......

"Ahh Sinan, who was walking home at night, suddenly sneezed, she sniffed, she didn't feel cold when she was wearing a lot, or who was talking to her behind her back?

Xiao Baozi came to pick up his mother, took Sinan's hand, and looked well-behaved: "My mother has a cold?" Ming'er Xiaobao will cook ginger soup for you to drink! ”

Sinan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Can you cook ginger soup?" Xiaobao is out of breath! ”

A certain little bun was praised so weakly that he blinked his eyes, and told the Chongming bird hidden in his pocket with his mind: "Xiao Ming, go back and teach me tonight!" ”

Xiao Ming: "Can I refuse......"
