Chapter Eighty-Five: Plotting with the Tiger
Hong Ying dragged Chu Luo away, and Jin Huai naturally wouldn't let them leave so easily, otherwise others would still think that his Pingnan Wangfu was a place where ants and flies could enter and exit if they wanted to.
"Stop them." As soon as Jin Huai's majestic words fell, countless palace guards jumped out of the shadows and surrounded Hong Ying, who frowned and looked at Chu Luo as if asking for help.
Chu Luo turned around and questioned Jin Huai, "What does this mean, Lord Wang?" ”
Jin Bingbing hurriedly said: "Father, don't do it." Jin Huai subconsciously looked at her and asked, "Who are you helping?" In the face of Jin Huai's questioning, Jin Bingbing was still unmoved, and said: "Thousands of years of achievements, just in the mist, my father should not make a mistake in order to be quick for a while, and his son will fall into a mistake, and he will be full of ropes!" ”
Jin Huai felt reasonable, so he smiled at Chu Luo and said, "Prime Minister Chu has achieved such an achievement at a young age, and now that he is coming to the palace, this king should take the wind and wash the dust for you." ”
"No need!" Chu Luo interrupted his polite words and said, "I think the prince wants me to leave more than anyone else, between you and me, there is no need for these polite words!" "Although Jin Huai is an elder, Chu Luo doesn't mean to treat him as an elder at all, not to mention this person's wolf ambition, he is extremely disgusted in his heart, if it weren't for Hong Ying, he really wouldn't want to set foot in a dirty place like Pingnan Palace!
Chu Luo's coldness made a trace of killing intent flash in Jin Huai's heart, Jin Bingbing said in time, and said: "Although you are a prime minister, you are always immature, don't say such things in front of my father, it seems that the old prime minister is not good at raising his children and grandchildren!" ”
Chu Luo was about to refute, but Hong Ying hurriedly grabbed him and said in a low voice: "It's important to get down to business." "He has always been a man of proportion, but for some reason, he has lost his sense of proportion now.
And Chu Luohe didn't want to stay calm, but in the face of the matter related to Hongying, it was really difficult for him to suppress the anger in his heart, because he saw desire/hope, naked/naked desire/hope from the bottom of Jin Huai's eagle eyes!
An old horseman like Jin Huai, who dares to peek at the person he Chu Luo has a fancy, how can he keep calm?
However, the four words of Hong Ying brought him back to his senses, he endured the disgust in his heart, and said politely: "Lord Wang, please forgive Chu Luo's rudeness, Hong Ying, let's go ......"
After saying that, he pulled Hongying and left......
And Jin Huai was about to have a seizure, but Jin Bingbing pulled his sleeve and signaled him to be patient. It wasn't until Hong Ying's figure walked away that he questioned Jin Bingbing with a cold face, and said, "You value the two of them so much, do you have a crush on Chu Luo?" Chu Luo had already hooked Jin Xiangxiang's soul, and he was extremely worried that Jin Bingbing would also be hooked.
Jin Bingbing sneered and said, "How could such an ordinary man get into my eyes? Jin Huai was relieved and confirmed that Jin Bingbing was wholeheartedly for him.
Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chu Luo was about to admonish Hong Ying, but Hong Ying hurriedly took out the secret letter and said, "Time is running out, I will have the opportunity to scold me with you in the future, now you should hurry up and find Sima Ting." ”
Chu Luo's face sank, and he said, "What are you looking for him?" Don't you really like him? ”
Hongying was full of black lines, and said: "Please, when do you still have the heart to fall in love, Jin Huai has colluded with the Turks, and will invade my Great Jin border, and the troops of the General's Mansion will be used to suppress the rebellion of the generals, and then he Jin Huai can send troops to the imperial city to force the emperor to abdicate!" ”
Chu Luo frowned and said, "Is this news true?" ”
"Really, just to avoid Jin Huai from finding out, I didn't take out the incriminating evidence!" Hong Ying also felt that there was no basis for her words, saying these words, Chu Luo believed her or not, it was all up to him.
"Well, I believe in you!" Chu Luo's categorical answer made Hong Ying feel at ease, this man will always rely on her when she is nervous and embarrassed, so that she has a sense of security.
"I'm going to find Sima Ting and them, and let's take measures together!" Chu Luo also knew that even if he made the evidence of his crimes public, he would not be able to prevent the rebellion of King Pingnan, and he could only annihilate him and his henchmen in one fell swoop when King Pingnan rebelled.
Sima Ting, Lingwang Jintian, Miao Zi, Gu Siming and his entourage soon arrived at Qingfeng Tower, in order to avoid the suspicion of the people in Pingnan Palace, Chu Luo temporarily changed the route, everyone in a private room with excellent sound insulation in Qingfeng Building, greeted each other a few words, made sure that no one peeped, and then entered the topic, Chu Luo first told everyone the news that Hongying had discovered, Sima Ting was the most excited, he took the case, and hummed: "Jinhuai Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by, but passers-by don't know that this son can do such a thing for the sake of the world's hegemony." ”
Hong Ying shrugged her shoulders speechlessly, and said: "In ancient times, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, could kill his brother, and Jin Huai was just sacrificing the ordinary people who had nothing to do with him on the frontier, and he felt very sorry. ”
"I just went to the Pingnan Palace, and I tested him, I'm afraid he is more poisonous than a tiger!" Jin Huai's viciousness, Chu Luo still has lingering palpitations when he thinks about it now, and even his own children can be sacrificed, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to deal with than Xiaoxiong!
Jin Tian said quietly: "We can't fight him, why don't we let the army fight each other?" ”
His words woke up Chu Luo, and Chu Luo praised: "This idea is very good, no matter how high this person's skills are and how huge the power of his lineage is, if his henchmen are cleaned up, he really can't make any big waves." ”
Miao Zi threw a wink at Jin Tian and giggled: "It's still my family's smart world, I can come up with such an idea, Miao Pavilion is now an intelligence organization, and it is still easy to find Jin Huai's henchmen." When to do it, Tianjun just said it. ”
"We can't do it right now." Chu Luo frowned and said.
"Why?" Sima Ting was puzzled.
Hong Ying hurriedly grabbed the limelight and said: "We targeted Jin Huai for no reason, those officials who received his favor must not agree, and they are unknown, and they will even be impeached by people in the court, with Jin Huai's influence in the court, this is not impossible, not to mention that the two of you are just proficient in their respective affairs, and it is too late to consolidate the connections in the temple, right?" ”
Sima Ting's words made Sima Ting amazed, and he exclaimed: "Now I owe it to you. ”
"It's not that you're inferior to us, it's just that we think from different angles, people are changing, and people can't live in memories." There was something in Hong Ying's words, but Gu Siming understood it, he suddenly smiled bitterly, and said, "Yes, I used to always be unable to go back." ”
Chu Luo only noticed him at this time, and hurriedly asked, "What does Master Gu think about this matter?" He originally didn't like Gu Siming, a guy who relied on women to get on top, but as he served in the court these days, he gradually found that this person was very capable, and complex political affairs could always be easily resolved in his hands, and even if he couldn't solve some court matters, he was used to consulting his opinion.
Gu Siming raised his eyes and said, "Since he dares to be with jackals, why can't we fight for the tiger?" ”
When Chu Luo heard this, he hurriedly clapped his hands and said, "Master Gu's idea is very good!" ”
"How do you act for the tiger?" Hong Ying was a little worried, and said, "As far as I know about this person Jin Huai, this person will never trust anyone easily. And do whatever you say, without giving people time to react.
"My idea is this, first of all, General Sima sent a letter to Bai Yuan, the deputy commander of the frontier, asking him to take down the head of the commander and eliminate some thieves in the army, and then Sima Yan commanded an army to escort the people to evacuate the small border city, so that Bai Yuan could strictly guard the city defense, and ensure the peace of the frontier for at least a month. General Sima Ting sat in Kyoto, waited until the frontier to report urgently, pretended to increase troops on the frontier, attacked the east and west, ambushed near Kyoto, ready to attack at any time, and I will surrender to Jin Huai, I think the tens of thousands of soldiers under my command, he will be very interested! ”
Gu Siming said a lot of his opinions, but Hong Ying stuck out her tongue and said: "Who can't talk about soldiers on paper, but who knows if the old fox in Jinhuai will temporarily change his strategy and take us into an army?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Chu Luo felt that this plan was generally feasible, but the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the plan would never catch up with the changes!
Hong Ying said sharply: "Let's talk about Bai Yuan, the deputy commander first, are you sure he is our person?" The more chaotic the situation, the higher the probability of a traitor, anyway, on the battlefield, I will never trust anyone......"
"This matter is easy to solve, so let Sima Yan go to the frontier to experience and experience, at least behind the gate, if you don't know how to fight." Sima Ting suggested that his move would not only ensure that the commander would be absolutely loyal to them, but also show Hongying his sincerity.
"Sima Yan can't do it!" Jin Tian lazily raised his peach blossom eyes and said, "How can he hold such an important position if he can't do martial arts or literature?" ”
"Then let Yue'er accompany him." Sima Ting couldn't help himself, and said.
Gu Siming's heart jumped slightly, and he said hurriedly: "How can a woman go to fight and kill?" ”
Sima Ting and the others sneered, and Sima Ting said: "In these years, you treat her as a woman...... "Which woman has a fierce temperament like her?" He, as an elder brother, is really worried about his life's events.
Gu Siming knew that he was speechless, so he didn't dare to speak out anymore, he subconsciously glanced at Hong Ying, who was squeezing his eyebrows at him, his expression was extremely ambiguous, he wanted to explain that his feelings for Sima Yue were just brother and sister, but the words came to his mouth and were swallowed by him. Because of who is love and who is love, even he himself is a little confused.
"Don't interrupt, Hongying continued." Chu Luo seemed to have become the backbone of a group of people, as soon as his voice fell, everyone stopped dwelling on this issue, Hong Ying continued, and said: "Second, cousin, you can guarantee that Bai Yuan can hold the frontier for a month?" If you can't hold the land of the Central Plains, won't you be slaughtered by the northern barbarians? ”
"We really can't risk the condemnation of the world!" Chu Luo thought for a moment and said, "If you want to increase the troops, I'll go!" "Although he didn't have much experience in leading troops into battle, at least he had no problem commanding troops.
Hongying's eyes flashed, thinking that if Chu Luo also went, she would go with him, so she continued: "Third, Sima Ting's hundreds of thousands of horses are sent to the frontier, and there must be countless people who can see them on the way, how do you create that kind of situation where there are thousands of troops and horses?" How did hundreds of thousands of people hide in Kyoto? ”
