Chapter 51: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net

"If you want to attack Jingshi, you must be nine out of ten, and you can't be rash. Tianshun Fang was established for a few days, but it was not recognized by other countries, and if it wanted to increase its prestige, this battle must be won. ”

The successive victories made the adjutant general's blood boil, and he swore and said: "Heavenly King, the morale of our army is as fierce as a tiger now, even if it is the Jingshi, we know the roots, if we really fight, it is not difficult." ”

Zhai Wenchong knew that his sudden addition of the yellow robe was not justified, even if Tianshun was established, but in fact, not many people bought his account.

Not to mention the monarchs of the other three kingdoms, even the people of Xilin are only a handful of people who are willing to follow him.

In addition, Emperor Xilin convicted him of killing his mother and son, so that he could not get rid of this heavy shackle in his life, and changed from the attention of all to the spurned by thousands of people.

Even if he didn't kill people, they died because of him.

Zhai Wenchong snorted coldly, if Emperor Xilin wanted to force him to disarm and surrender, it would be wishful thinking at all.

In troubled times, he Zhai Wenchong is talented, strong in martial arts, and martial arts, and is in every position.

The Emperor Xilin, who hid in the capital and only coveted pleasure, was just a short-sighted waste with no ambitions, and now he rose up completely for Xilin.

"A hard attack, even if we win the battle, our army will suffer heavy losses, and at that time, if other countries take advantage of the fire to rob..."

The adjutant general's face was pale, and he understood that Zhai Wenchong was not unfounded, but those kings who boasted of being pure and full of benevolence could really do such a shameless thing.

"Won't you fight?" The deputy general was anxious, "Seeing that the army has already reached the foot of the capital, can you only stare dryly?" ”

Zhai Wenchong shook his head, "The battle must be fought, it depends on how it is fought." A hard attack is definitely not good, the loss is too great, if you can combine the inside and the outside, this can reduce unnecessary losses. ”

"Heavenly King, now that the capital is heavily guarded, it is not easy to sneak into the city."

Zhai Wenchong sneered, "Just because we can't get in doesn't mean that others can't get in." There are so many people in the Zhai family, can everyone still know about them? ”

"That's right," the adjutant patted his head, "why didn't the last general think of it." ”

Zhai Wenchong clenched his fists, his eyes burned, the capital, he was bound to win. The dragon chair in the palace, he was seated!

Emperor Xilin looked condescendingly at the kneeling straight Lin Yuwen and sighed heavily.

"Emperor, tomorrow, you will escort Hui'an to Dongqi."

"The retainers obey."

The emperor's heart is not comfortable, Lin Yuwen is going, and if he wants to return to China, it will not be so easy.

The Eastern Qi Emperor's vision is really vicious, he doesn't pick so many princes, but chooses the one he is most satisfied with.

"Emperor, this time you take the waterway to Eastern Qi, and the Emperor of Eastern Qi has already sent someone to meet you in Anhu City."

Lin Yuwen smiled slightly, "Father, rest assured, the son will live up to his mission." ”

The emperor wanted to say something more, but his mouth moved, and after all, he didn't say anything, just waved his hand tiredly.

Gonggong Wei sent Lin Yuwen out of the main hall, "The old slave is here to wish His Royal Highness King Ding a smooth journey and return to the dynasty as soon as possible." ”

Lin Yuwen's thin lips hooked slightly, as if he was careless, and said as if he meant something, "Xiao Wang is going to Eastern Qi, I don't know what year and month he will be able to return to the court, and my father will take care of my father-in-law Wei." ”

Gonggong Wei made a series of gestures, "His Royal Highness King Ding is serious, serving His Majesty is the old slave's business, and the old slave must do his best and dare not slack off in the slightest." ”

"In this way, there will be Father-in-law Lao." Lin Yuyan was silent for a moment, and asked with a light smile, "Xiao Wang still has something to understand, I don't know if my father-in-law is willing to answer questions for Xiao Wang." ”

Gonggong Wei was sincerely frightened, and hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness King Ding, please speak." ”

"Why did my father ask Xiao Wang to escort Hui'an to Dongqi this time?"

Gonggong Wei was silent for a moment and told the truth, "This is the request of the Emperor of Eastern Qi. ”

Lin Yuwen nodded knowingly and didn't say anything more.

Seeing off Lin Yuwen, Father-in-law Wei stood at the door for about half a pillar of incense before entering the palace.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ding has already left the palace."

The emperor reclined on the dragon couch, his face pale and tired. He has been on the throne for more than 20 years and has not yet suffered such a heavy blow.

In any case, he must not destroy the inheritance of his ancestors in his hands, otherwise, after a hundred years, what face will he have to face his ancestors.

"I have always wondered why the Emperor of Eastern Qi would appoint the king alone?"

Gonggong Wei lowered his head and said in a low voice, "The old slave doesn't know. ”

"You are outspoken, I want to hear your opinion."

Gonggong Wei thought about it, pondered for a while, and then said softly, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ding has never been out of Xilin, nor has he ever seen the emperor of Eastern Qi, and the old slave really can't understand why the Emperor of Eastern Qi thinks about His Royal Highness King Ding." ”

The Emperor nodded, "That's what puzzles me. ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave suddenly remembered that His Royal Highness King Dingwang had been trained under Zhai Wenchong for half a year, and followed Zhai Wenchong to fight in the east and west, whether it would be the emperor of Eastern Qi who he met at that time, or the minister of the humerus of Eastern Qi, the old slave is unknown."

The Emperor asked, "Why are you sure that you are a minister of the humerus?" ”

Gonggong Wei bent over and replied respectfully, "The old slave thought that if it wasn't for the emperor's own fingering, it must have been recommended by someone." And the person who can speak in front of the emperor must be the person whom the emperor trusts very much. ”

"That makes sense. There are still things I don't know about, it seems that I am really old. ”

When Gonggong Wei heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, what the old slave said is all just speculation, Your Majesty must not take it seriously." ”

The Emperor smiled lightly, "I just said something casually, and I scared you." ”

Gonggong Wei shrank and knelt there honestly, not daring to speak or move.

"That's it, just settle down, I will give you innocence."

Only then did Gonggong Wei wipe the thin sweat on his forehead, and saluted respectfully, "Old slave, thank you for your kindness." ”

"Let's get out, I want to take a break."

Gonggong Wei went out of the palace gate and instructed the little eunuch to listen to the emperor's orders at any time, and then left the palace in a hurry.

He came to the dungeon of General Huwei's mansion, and after a short time, his subordinates dragged a thin young man over.

"Father-in-law."

Gonggong Wei waved his hand, and his subordinates retreated in a playful manner.

"Have you figured it out?"

The young man stared at him stubbornly, his eyes were full of hatred, if it weren't for the fact that his hands and feet were tied at this time, he would definitely rush up and tear that proud old face.

"Do you know that the miscellaneous family will leave your little life?"

The boy refused to speak, just looked at him coldly.

"Don't you think it's strange that the miscellaneous family obviously found you, but they didn't kill you, the fish that slipped through the net, but hid you in this dungeon."

Of course he had questions, but he didn't want to ask.

"On that day, more than 100 people died at the entrance of the vegetable market. But in a moment, you and they are separated from yin and yang, and you will never have the opportunity to see each other again, you hate? ”

The young man's face was as pale as paper, his whole body trembled, his fists clenched, his nails that had not been properly trimmed for a long time poked into the flesh, but he didn't seem to feel the pain, his silver teeth clenched, and he was angry.

Father-in-law Wei didn't seem to see it, and still said slowly, "Before the execution, the miscellaneous family asked your father if he had anything to say. He said that the sinner had nothing to say. Ever since Zhai Wenchong established himself as king, your father knew what their fate would be. ”

The boy looked up sharply and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?" ”

"You heard it right, Zhai Wenchong has established himself as the king." Gonggong Wei sneered, "Your Majesty is furious, but thinking of the accumulated military exploits of General Huwei's mansion, I gave Zhai Wenchong a chance." As long as he is willing to return to Beijing to apologize, His Majesty will release everyone in the general's mansion. He looked straight at the boy and deliberately emphasized, "Everyone! ”

The boy's body shook violently, and needless to say, he already knew that his grandfather, who had always been arrogant, would not sacrifice himself because of these wastes.

Gonggong Wei's expression was faint, and he continued: "Even to protect you, it is Your Majesty's intention. ”

The boy looked at him in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

"Your Majesty is a person who misses the old love, if it weren't for Zhai Wenchong's deception too much and repeatedly challenging the emperor's authority, Your Majesty would not have touched the people of the General's Mansion. If you wanted to move, Your Majesty would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now. ”

"Why do you tell me this," said the young man, with difficulty, "what is the point?" ”

Father-in-law Wei smiled faintly, "You are just a powerless teenager, tell you, what else is the point." The miscellaneous family just doesn't want the truth to be buried in the dust. He waved his hand, "Someone, untie him." ”

The young man whose hands and feet were finally free looked straight at Gonggong Wei, "Why should I believe what you say." ”

What he said was a little unreasonable, and when his subordinates heard this, they wanted to teach him a lesson, but they were stopped by Gonggong Wei.

"The miscellaneous family has never said that you need to believe in the miscellaneous family, you have eyes and ears, and if you want to know something, you can inquire yourself." He clapped his hands, and immediately a subordinate took out a burden and handed it to the young man's hand, "There are some entanglements in here, you can go." ”

The boy asked in disbelief, "You're letting me go?" ”

Gonggong Wei glanced at him, "Otherwise, you still want the miscellaneous family to support you for the rest of your life?" ”

"Are you really letting me go?"

"Let's go!"

The young man still didn't believe it, he took two steps, looked back again, and saw Gonggong Wei waving his hand impatiently, and then he ran away like a rabbit.

"Father-in-law, just let that kid go like this?"

Gonggong Wei asked calmly, "Do you want to raise him for the rest of your life?" ”

His subordinates pouted, he would raise a kid who had no blood relationship with him if he had a sick head, and he was still the son of a criminal minister.

The young man walked out of the dungeon and stood in the courtyard of the General's Mansion, looking blankly at the familiar scene and tree, touching the scene and feeling sad.

However, he was afraid that Gonggong Wei would regret it, so he didn't stay too long and left in a hurry.

Walking down the bustling streets, he didn't even know where to go. The young man smiled self-deprecatingly, the world is so big, there is no place for him.

"Do you know, I was at the scene on the day of the execution in the General's Mansion."

When the young man heard this, he stopped, raised his head suddenly, and looked at the man who was flying wildly with spittle.

"More than 100 people, just gone. But in other words, they deserve it, who made their family a chaotic thief. ”

The woman next to her echoed: "No, Your Majesty said that as long as Zhai Wenchong comes back and confesses, the people of the General's Mansion can be exempted from the death penalty, but he will not come back." I don't even care about my own mother, wife and children, this kind of person is really damned! ”
