Chapter 200: The Dark Tide is surging
Xi Wei noticed the sword he was carrying, Pear Rain.
That sword was found by inquiring in many ways during the Wei campaign. He had been looking for the sword for a long time, and it was a pair of the whip of the former micro.
The same master made it, and that master only made those two weapons in his life.
Xi Wei asked Feng Chen, why that sword is called Pear Rain.
Feng Chen replied: "The hilt of the sword is engraved with pear blossoms, which is very beautiful." The blade of the sword is as light as rain. ”
In fact, it's not like that, there are some words that Fengchen can't say. Pear rain, Xiwei has always been the holy pear blossom in his heart. They are still children, on the day they met in Yan Kingdom, it was the warm color of the pear orchard, and the apricot blossoms were slightly rainy, so the name of this sword was: pear rain.
From the day they met.
Why can't she answer the truth when she asks? Yes, it always was. Those sincere words have never been spoken.
Since he was a child, his father taught him majesty, but did not teach him gentleness. Teach him indifference, not teach him delicacy. Growing up in a cold palace, a heart has long been accustomed to indifference, ruthlessness, silence, and cold silence.
How to say love. The gentleness has reached the bottom of her eyes, and her heart has trembled for her, but the words are forever stuck in her throat, and she can't say half a word.
=====
After returning to the palace, Fengchen began a series of rectifications, rehabilitated Xiao Zhi, and promoted Xiao Zhi all the way to the position of Minister of Military Aircraft.
Feng Chen admired Xiao Zhi very much. Xiao Zhi, like himself, is a talented and intelligent person. Feng Chen only said the first half of the sentence, and Xiao Zhi could guess the second half of the sentence. When Fengchen quotes scriptures, Xiao Zhi can always draw inferences.
He had never met someone he admired so much, and he knew that Xiao Zhi would be his strongest arm.
Unlike himself, Xiao Zhi is a person who is full of sunshine in his heart. His heart is warm.
It's a lot like her.
In Xiao Zhi's bones, he didn't want to end the war with war, he felt that war was endless, and plundering would only make people more and more greedy. And the harmony of the world is a dream that can never be realized.
Neither of them could convince each other from the depths of their hearts. However, Xiao Zhi's heart is soft, and he will be obedient. Because he understands that he is a courtier, and Maple Dust saved him and gave him everything.
He willingly surrendered, willingly smeared his liver and brain, and fulfilled his long-cherished wish in this life.
Feng Chen understood from the beginning that such a smart and strategic person was the strongest arm. But also the most dangerous weapon. But he is willing to believe in Xiao Zhi's honesty and Xiao Zhi's surrender.
Soon, the dispute between the DPRK and China resumed.
At that time, there were two factions in the imperial court, one faction was headed by the Nian clan and mainly attacked the Yan Kingdom. One faction, led by Xiao Zhi, strongly advocated the annexation of Yan as a vassal state.
Even though Fengchen has been rectified, the Nian clan is still dominant in the court. Xiao Zhi couldn't compete with a huge family at all. Moreover, all the ministers in the court knew that Fengchen wanted to dominate the world, so they all supported the Nian family.
However, Maple Dust has not made a decision.
In fact, Maple Dust has already made a decision. When he was a young child, the decision of the world was to conquer the rest of the countries, but to accept Yan as a vassal state and retain the royal family of Yan. This is also the layout he proposed to the first emperor when he returned from the Yan Kingdom.
First, because Yan is a weaker country among all countries, and has never had a history of conquering other countries, and the land and resources are abundant, and the people are simple, if it is accepted as a vassal country, it is a win-win situation.
The second is because, Xiwei.
However, he did not explain this decision to anyone, because he needed to make such a momentum that the people of the world would mistakenly believe that the state of Chu might attack the state of Yan. And Chu Guoan's secret agents in Wu had also been detected earlier, and Wu Guo also had plans to take action against Yan State.
Fengchen is waiting, waiting for Wu Guo to make a move. Kill two birds with one stone, and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
But on that day, Xi Wei came to ask for maple dust. She begged Fengchen to save Yan Guo.
Feng Chen covered his struggle with a smile that day, and he said: "It's better not to interfere in the political affairs of the previous dynasty in the harem." Shouldn't the fishermen sit back and watch and reap the benefits? ”
But there is a struggle in my heart. He watched as she was sad and uneasy.
In the next few days, the palace people said that she didn't want to eat or tea. Fengchen was very distressed.
Feng Chen's own plan was to wait until the Yan Kingdom was captured two-thirds of the way down, and when he came to the rescue when the Yan Kingdom had only a glimmer of life, the Yan Kingdom royal family would be extremely grateful. Only then will you truly surrender.
But because of Xi Wei, he even sent an army to aid Yan State. However, he still asked Yan Guo to cover up the matter for himself, and Chu Guo could only help secretly. As a result, the crisis in Yan was alleviated.
Before Wu captured half of the country, Feng Chen made a move.
In the time of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, Feng Chen has a clear understanding of the struggle of the Wu royal family and the disputes of the imperial court.
Fengchen laid a net of heaven and earth, waiting for the royal family of Wu to jump in.
He used the prosperous wedding banquet in Tianshui City as bait to wash the royal family of Wu State. Cover the eyes and ears of the world, steal the day.
Then it took just a few months to take most of the country of Wu into his hands, and at the same time control the puppet emperor of the state of Wu.
This game, for Chu State, won a big victory. However, it also allowed Nian's power to further expand.
Nian Sixiao, who is proud of his achievements and does not know how to restrain, and Nian Yong, who is ambitious and high-spirited, they make Fengchen more and more worried and uneasy. After the Battle of Wu, they were still greedy and perverted the law with great fanfare, and Fengchen also heard more and more rumors that Nian Yong had the intention of rebelling.
At the same time, Xiao Zhi also has a lot of evidence of Nian's crimes. When Xiao Zhi presented the incriminating evidence to Feng Chen one by one, Feng Chen knew that the time had come. He had to do something to Nian.
But his move meant that it had to be completely eradicated. Otherwise, the intertwined forces of the DPRK and China, involving many interests and rights, may bring great turmoil to the Chu State.
So Xiao Zhi was in charge, and Jin Yuwei assisted. In order to seek the overall situation, Fengchen chose to cut through the chaos quickly.
Subsequently, the Nian clan was executed, and Fengchen spared Nian Sixue's life in order to stabilize the hearts of the people.
But because he saved Nian Sixue's life, something unexpected happened to him.
Nian Sixue poisoned Xi Wei to death. but poisoned the maid Zhimi of Luoli and Xiwei. This incident hit Xiwei very hard.
Since then, Xi Wei's gaze at Maple Dust has been different from before, and there is a lot more chill and hatred in that gentle gaze, as if he is blaming Luo Li and Zhimi's death for being related to Maple Dust.
Xi Wei hoped that Fengchen would severely punish Nian Sixue. But Maple Dust didn't do that.
After all, people's hearts are flesh and blood, Feng Chen has already punished the Nian family, and he wants to leave Nian Sixue's life. He also knows that Nian Sixue has always been sincere to him.
Although he has never had Xiwei alone in his heart, he has never put others into his heart. But he wanted to save Nian Sixue's life, because in the end, Nian Sixue had saved countless people, and she had been wronged by the Nian family.
