In the south study, the strategy was set, and Yuwang, who had been nervous, was taken by Wang Shun to the bedroom to bathe and change clothes, and went to rest for a while.

At the end of this day, King Yu has undergone several changes, especially killing his father and brother with his own hands, and then ascending to the throne in one fell swoop.

Wang Shun, Prince Bao and Huang Zhengyuan were afraid that he would not be able to hold back at the critical moment, so they persuaded him to go and rest for a while.

At this time, the vanguard of King Liao's army had already been killed outside the south study, and the battle was becoming more and more tense, and Prince Bao had to personally put on the battle to revive the morale of the forbidden army and try to delay time for Xu Rui's Tianqiwei.

The only ones who remained in the south study to be responsible for drafting the holy decree were Huang Zhengyuan, Cao Gonggong and Zhengyu.

"It's enough to restore Xu Rui to the position of commander of the Heavenly Apocalypse, why add the title of Governor of the Northwest?"

Huang Zhengyuan held the holy decree that had just been prepared, and saw that Zhengyu had added the title of Governor of Northwest to Xu Rui on the holy decree, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at him suspiciously.

Gonggong Cao lowered his head and did not speak, the atmosphere was very strange at the moment, as Xu Rui's confidant recommended to King Yu, his position was very awkward, and Huang Zhengyuan came to supervise the proposed decree to guard against most of him, so he naturally did not dare to say much.

However, Zhengyu on the side did not have any scruples, and said loudly: "My lord, this is specially for Xu Rui." ”

"Oh?"

Huang Zhengyuan seemed to be interested and asked, "Tell me the reason." ”

Zhengyu sneered: "My lord, what do you think, the new monarch will encounter great difficulties when he ascends the throne, and waiting for the courtiers to come to his aid, he will inevitably curry favor a little, and it is King Su who wrote this holy decree."

Xu Rui's most criticized thing is not the military power, but the turmoil in the northwest.

If the king of Su who is good friends with him succeeds to the throne, he will definitely not be suspicious of him, but will be reassured, and the false position of a governor of the northwest is not only a show of goodwill, but also a message of magnanimity.

In this way, the decree can seem much more natural, and it will be seamless with the handwritten letter. ”

Huang Zhengyuan was stunned when he heard this, and finally nodded after a long silence.

"Yes, it's very thoughtful, so let's do as you say!"

As he spoke, he took out a large seal from his bosom and stamped it on the holy decree.

Gonggong Cao glanced at it and was shocked, it turned out that the big seal was actually the signature of the cabinet, and he didn't know where Huang Zhengyuan got it.

With this signature, coupled with the emperor's seal, this holy decree is the official document of the cabinet vote and the celebrant in red, and there is no flaw in the legal theory and process.

"Take it!"

Huang Zhengyuan handed the holy decree to Zhengyu and said lightly.

Zhengyu hurriedly put away the holy decree and prepared to set off to deliver the decree.

Huang Zhengyuan suddenly gently grabbed Zhengyu's hand and said coldly: "Remember your promise, if it is done, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future, if you dare to have two hearts, I guarantee that you will die a miserable death!" ”

When Zheng Yu heard this, his face did not change, and he still smiled lightly: "Don't worry, my lord, the slave and maid have been waiting for this day for a long time, and they will never let the opportunity slip away from their hands easily."

Xu Rui recommended the slave and maid to the celebrant supervisor because of his plan, but if people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, the slave and maid use him, in fact, they also have their own plans.

The slave and maid admired the lord for judging the situation and using all available opportunities to push His Royal Highness King Yu to the throne, and the slave and maid learned and sold now, and also wanted Xu Rui to be a ladder to climb the wall and send the slave and maid to the stage.

Isn't it beautiful that everyone is happy in this way? ”

Huang Zhengyuan was shocked when he heard this, and he felt a familiar smell overflowing from Zhengyu's tone and eyes, and that smell was called ambition.

Zhengyu's ambition was so strong that Huang Zhengyuan couldn't help but be moved, and subconsciously let go of his hand, watched him put away the holy decree, and then bowed and strode away.

"You're bold enough, and your heart is black enough, but, hehe, don't play with fire and set yourself on fire!"

It wasn't until Zhengyu had disappeared for a long time that Huang Zhengyuan came back to his senses and suddenly burst out laughing.

Gonggong Cao looked at him in surprise, but he didn't dare to ask him why he laughed.

However, Huang Zhengyuan seemed to see his doubts, and said lightly: "Gonggong Cao, the future life is terrifying, in terms of the ability to see the wind and rudder, you can't compare to this future life, be careful that your status is not guaranteed in the future." ”

Gonggong Cao frowned and asked, "Why did Lord Huang say this?" ”

Huang Zhengyuan sneered and said: "This kid is too smart, do you think he is this up-and-coming bird in order to flatter his new master?" ”

Gonggong Cao was stunned: "Isn't it?" ”

Huang Zhengyuan sneered and shook his head, "He's here to protect himself!" ”

Cao Gonggong's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he immediately understood what Huang Zhengyuan meant.

King Yu killed his brother and ascended to the throne, and all the people present were accomplices, but this news was so terrible that even King Su had to be killed, not to mention others?

It is foreseeable that after this incident, in addition to King Yu's absolute henchmen, all the guards and eunuchs present, and even Gonggong Cao himself may be killed.

Zhengyu stepped forward at this time to solve problems for Yuwang, on the one hand, he handed in a letter of nomination, and on the other hand, he also wanted to leave a deep impression on Yuwang, and even made Yuwang rely on him.

In this way, it is possible that King Yu will read the name of the vote, as well as his wit and courage, and spare his life.

Based on the current situation, even if King Yu will kill Gonggong Cao, he will not kill Zhengyu, isn't this what Huang Zhengyuan said about self-preservation?

Seeing that Gonggong Cao's face was cloudy, Huang Zhengyuan knew that he had figured out the joints, and sneered: "This person is bold and bold on the surface, but he is actually cautious, isn't this another Wang Shun who is alive?" ”

As he spoke, he gently patted Gonggong Cao's shoulder and said: "In the future, the inner court will change greatly, and rising stars will rise, it seems that Gonggong has to work harder, so that the saint can see your heart clearly, otherwise be careful that your status is not guaranteed." ”

When Gonggong Cao heard this, a cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, and he couldn't stop nodding his head to say yes.

Huang Zhengyuan said: "Okay, the play is over, my father-in-law will draft the will!" ”

"Intended? What is the purpose? Didn't the decree just be drafted? ”

Gonggong Cao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Huang Zhengyuan inexplicably.

Huang Zhengyuan sneered: "Father-in-law doesn't really think that I will put all my bets on Xu Rui, right?" ”

"Huh?"

Father-in-law Cao's face changed slightly, and his mouth opened wide, not knowing what to say.

Huang Zhengyuan said with a smile: "Xu Rui's sword is sharp, but it is a double-edged sword, if you don't get it right, you will hurt yourself, he is still too smart, and smart people are always difficult to control, so I will never pin my hope on him."

I'll give you a list, these people are all rising stars that I have helped the Holy Lord secretly cultivate in the army over the years, and they have been prepared in advance.

Now in the name of the new king, you will draft a decree and let our people take over the twelve guards of the Jingshi.

Hmph, when the Apocalypse Guard and the Liao King rebels are both defeated, our men and horses will suddenly kill and surround both sides together, and even if Xu Rui knows the truth, he can only obediently obey! ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Cao trembled, and his back was cold.

Just when Zhengyu slipped out of the palace gate on the other side with the holy decree, Xiao Jinwu, who was supposed to lead the army to aid the forbidden army, sat in his study upright.

"Young master, this is your treasured flower carving."

The old servant held a jar the size of a coconut and handed it to the table.

"Ade, do you know the origin of this jar of wine?"

Xiao Jinwu suddenly asked the old servant.

The old servant said: "Last time I heard you say, this is the wine that the young master gave you when he was apprenticed. ”

Xiao Jinwu nodded with a smile and said: "Huadiao is also called daughter red, ordinary people's daughters will bury a jar of wine in the ground when they are born, and then dig it out to make wedding wine when their daughter gets married, this is the origin of wine."

The flower carving that Master gave me probably means the same, brewed when I entered the Master's Gate, and opened when I left the Master's Gate. ”

"The young master is leaving the division?"

The old servant asked in astonishment.

Xiao Jinwu shook his head with a smile, didn't answer, just gently patted the mud, poured a large glass, and then drank it all.

Decades of aging have developed a spicy taste, and when you take a bite into your throat, Xiao Jinwu's face is red.

"There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and when it comes, there will be a day when it comes, and this matter is natural, so what is there to make a fuss about?"

Xiao Jinwu looked at the wine jar and muttered to himself, and poured himself a large glass of wine.

The old servant frowned and said, "The young master is leaving the division, is it already out of the division?" ”

Xiao Jinwu was stunned for a moment, picked up the wine glass and drank it again, shook his head and said: "A teacher for one day, a father for life, where can there really be a teacher?" ”

The old servant was puzzled: "Why did the young master leave the master's door?" ”

As if the wine glass was not big enough, Xiao Jinwu directly lifted the wine jar and poured a big sip, and said quietly: "The master's life is fate, and the emperor's fate is also fate, but the two lives are at odds, loyalty and filial piety can't be both, can't you only avoid it from afar?" ”

The old servant pouted and said: "The young master is the secretary of the imperial court, so he naturally wants to listen to the saint, if the governor of Hong Dadu makes it difficult for the young master to make it difficult for the saint, it will be too difficult for the strong." ”

Xiao Jinwu shook his head: "It would be nice if it was so simple, the most difficult thing is actually that you don't have a choice."

The Master didn't have a choice, and the Holy One didn't have a choice, and they all came to a dead end, so they threw the right to choose and their distress into my hands.

But I'm a hard-boned person, I can't be flexible, and I can't choose one side alone, so the result is that I don't listen to the lives of both sides, I'm afraid that both sides are dangerous, right? ”

"Dangerous?"

The old servant's face changed slightly.

Xiao Jinwu waved his hand, drank all the remaining wine in one gulp, and said, "Do you know why Master gave me a jar of wine?" ”

The old servant shook his head again, indicating that he did not know.

Xiao Jinwu said with a smile: "That's the rule of this sect, this sect pays the most attention to the word loyalty and filial piety, and will never tolerate the disciples who betray the master, so when accepting apprentices, I gave each disciple a jar of poisonous wine as a wake-up call, which means that everyone will cut themselves off when they want to betray the master, and it is better than being hunted down and killed afterwards!" ”

"What, this is poisoned wine?!"

The old servant was shocked when he heard this.

Xiao Jinwu's face flushed, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "poof".

"Young Master!"

The old servant hurriedly hugged Xiao Jinwu, who fell to the ground, and shouted.

But this voice came too late, Xiao Jinwu had already slowly closed his eyes and swallowed his last breath.
