Chapter 1011: Chess Game (4K)
What can be done in three days? For most people, three days is just the same as in the past, sunrise and sunset, but for some people, three days is enough to change the fate of a lifetime. In the past, Taizong of the Great Chu Dynasty laid down the former dynasty, and the Liu clan spent three days deploying the internal and external alliances in Chang'an City, resulting in the destruction of the former dynasty. Three days, for Zhang Ludao, the ancestor of the Zhang family, was the third time that Taizong asked to go out of the mountain and talk at night around the fireplace in Jinan City. Three days is not long, but it does affect the direction of this country.
This time, it was her turn.
Chen Li had already left, and Wei Yaoqing suddenly let out a long breath.
"I don't want to lose." She said.
Pei Zongzhi snorted, nodded and said, "No one wants to lose." ”
Everyone wants to win, but how can it be so easy to win? If someone does it, it's a legend.
"If I win this time, I will definitely do a good job of Wei Yaoqing in the future." She said.
has been doing Wei Yaoqing for a few years, she has become accustomed to this name, but there are very few things that should be done under the name of Wei Yaoqing. Occasionally, when I woke up from a midnight dream, I was thinking about the old things of the Zhang family. If the affairs of the Zhang family are not settled, she will not be able to do this daughter of the Wei family for a day.
"What you're not going to do is the daughter of the Wei family." Pei Zongzhi stretched out his hand and touched her head, and said, "What you want to do is the Great Heavenly Master." He thought about it seriously and said, "It doesn't matter if your surname is Zhang or your surname is Wei." ”
That's right! Wei Yaoqing couldn't help but smile when she thought about it, paused, and said to him: "Actually, people like me are usually afraid of me!" "How could she not feel the Wei family's strange attitude towards her? Fear, respect.
But it's not them, this attitude can also be felt from the clansmen when she is Zhang Mingzhu. If she insisted on saying something wrong, maybe it was her, but she didn't think it was wrong.
"Of course, the Great Heavenly Master is not an ordinary person." Pei Zongzhi, "Of course, ordinary people are afraid and respectful. ”
Wei Yaoqing glanced at him: "What about you?" Are you afraid of me? ”
Pei Zongzhi said: "I'm not an ordinary person. He said this with a calm expression and no embarrassment.
This person really won't be embarrassed! Wei Yaoqing laughed a few times, sighed again, and said, "Actually, this time, you don't have to mix in again." "Chen Shan won't do anything to Master Tianguang, and there is no need for him to chase Chen Shan anymore.
Pei Zongzhi glanced at her: "How can this work?" A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse. How can you not do what you say? ”
"You're not a gentleman, here and there." Wei Yaoqing looked at him, straightened his collar for him, and looked at him seriously, "You really go with me, it's okay if you succeed, if you fail, Master Tianguang will go crazy!" ”
"Then let him stay on the road." Pei Zongzhi grabbed her hand and put it down but didn't let go, "I told Pei Xingting that it's just a bowl of rice, or vegetarian food, and he can afford it." ”
"Oh, this is really ......" The girl glanced at her face, happy and sad, she has always boasted of being able to speak well, but at this time she didn't know what to say, just looked at him for a long time, suddenly hugged him, buried her head in his arms, and after a while, she spoke, "I know." ”
Pei Zongzhi hugged her with his backhand, and heard her say: "It's great to meet you, but it's not good for you to meet me." "Risking his life with her, he didn't have to.
"It's good, too." Pei Zongzhi thought about it seriously and said. Although it is dangerous to live like this, he prefers his current self more than the original days, with seven emotions and six desires, and will be happy, angry, and sad. After a pause, he wanted to say something, but he heard someone cough on the side.
The two of them followed the prestige, and saw Mr. Yi looking at them with emotion.
The two didn't let go of his gaze, they just looked at him.
After looking at each other for a while, the old man still took a step back, and he couldn't stand it: Are all young people like this now? I was a little embarrassed about him.
"Are you all right?" He said.
"It's fine." Wei Yaoqing shook her head.
Pei Zongzhi's brows furrowed slightly: "If you don't show up, you won't be fine." ”
Think he disturbed the young man's Qingqing? It is easy for the old gentleman to raise his eyebrows, looking at the well-behaved girl, and he thinks that such a dangerous girl can only show a little bit of her little daughter's coquettishness in front of this person!
"It's okay!" Mr. Yi turned his gaze to other places and said, "Although we have completed the matter of kidnapping Chen Li with you last time, we discussed it, this is too simple to count, so we still decided to stay and help, and help for another three days!" "That's what everybody means." ”
Three days! Wei Yaoqing stared at him for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Do you really want to stay?" It might be dangerous! ”
"People in the rivers and lakes are not afraid of danger." The old gentleman coughed and said as if he was a little embarrassed, "They...... They think you're a pretty good person, and it's reassuring that you're in charge of the Yin and Yang Division. ”
"Do you know what I'm doing?" Wei Yaoqing shook her head, without concealing it, "This is a private matter, are they sure they want to help?" ”
"Sure." Mr. Yi nodded and said, "So, you speak up!" ”
The surprise on the girl's face gradually faded, and her expression became serious, she looked at him and said solemnly: "Thank you for your kindness, I have written it down for helping me so much today." ”
"Just write it down." Mr. Yi nodded, and he was relieved when he brought the words, "I don't lose your promise...... By the way, I have a reluctant request. ”
"You say." The girl looked at him in surprise, what else was going on?
Mr. Easy said, "Can you two let go of talking?" It looks weird and unseemly. ”
The unscrupulous Wei Yaoqing and Pei Zongzhi: "......"
……
Chen Shan's decision was not hidden from everyone, even if he suddenly received the news that he wanted to negotiate peace and even merge into the Great Chu Army, there was no unexpected panic in the Southwest Army, and he still practiced on time every day.
Regarding Chen Shan's decision, even the chief general in the army did not have any objections, except for one person - Chen Li.
"Big brother, why do you want to negotiate peace?" Chen Li said angrily, "Don't we have the strength to fight? Now the Xiongnu Dawan coalition soldiers, it is Da Chu who should be in a hurry, not us! ”
Chen Li just touched the pot of flowers and plants on the table intently, listening to Chen Li's angry and puzzled voice echoing in the camp.
"You speak!" Chen Li pushed a few generals on the side who stood still like clay puppets without saying a word, and said, "Why don't you speak?" ”
"We listen to Master Hou." A general glanced at him and said.
"The people's wishes, except for the eighteen cities in the southwest, the others will sooner or later fall under the Great Chu." Chen Shan's gaze moved away from the pot of flowers and plants, looked at Chen Li, and bowed slightly towards him, "This flower is good." ”
Suddenly such a sentence came for no reason, Chen Li's heart jumped instinctively, but fortunately, Chen Shan didn't say anything else except this sentence, and he was relieved.
"Big brother, then we still have eighteen cities in the southwest, why do we want to negotiate peace?" Chen Li was puzzled.
"Isn't the Eighteen Cities in the Southwest Eighteen Cities' because of the peace negotiation?" Seeing this, a general couldn't help but speak, "No." Our Southwest Army will not forget its identity just because it is incorporated into the Great Chu Army. ”
"There's no chance of winning this fight." Chen Shan nodded and said to him, "I lost the hearts of the people before, so I naturally want to get it back this time, Ah Li, people should take a long-term view." ”
Here it is again, Chen Li couldn't help but sneer, how can he still have such a thing as face in front of everyone now? The eldest brother said that he was in front of everyone again and again, and he had already lost his face. That's it, Chen Li snorted coldly, lifted the curtain and walked out.
No one in the camp paid attention to his departure, and the generals still listened attentively.
"If this game of chess continues like this, it will be a dead end, and if you want to revitalize it, you will naturally have to put it to death and live later." Chen Shan said, "My army will come back after an order, and my Eighteen Cities in the Southwest will still be my Eighteen Cities in the Southwest if I change to the parents of Da Chu." ”
He said this with a look of arrogance, and it was evident that he had such confidence.
"Now, our Southwest Army takes the initiative to seek peace for the sake of the overall situation, which is the first step to win back the hearts of the people." Chen Shan said and said to those generals, "You follow Huang Dingyuan to the border, just obey orders, it's okay!" ”
"Huang Dingyuan will not be selfish, especially such a big thing. Compared with you, his original subordinates are better at border warfare, so his leading troops must be supplemented by you, and their army is the main one. In the battles with the Xiongnu and Dawan, your losses were much smaller than those of his army. Chen Shan closed his eyes, "When the time is right, I will shake out the matter of the empress killing the monarch and usurping the throne, and then it will be the time for this game of chess to be revitalized." ”
"What Master Hou said is extremely true!" There is no difference between the few generals raising their hands.
Hou Ye asked them to wait, and they had no doubts, as long as Hou Ye was there, the Southwest Army would not fall.
After Chen Shan said this, he suddenly reached out and rubbed his forehead, and sighed: "I can revitalize the chess game of the Great Chu Army, but my younger brother is becoming more and more disagreeable." ”
Several generals were silent, and they didn't know what to say. The respect for Chen Sanye is just because he is the sibling of the Hou Ye, without the Hou Ye, this Third Master is nothing in their hearts.
Chen Shan poured the tea on the table into the pot of flowers and plants, and a wisp of black smoke came out of the pot of flowers and plants in an instant. Chen Shan looked at it silently for a moment, and suddenly said, "Listen to the secret order!" ”
He was enough to care about his brotherhood, but at this point, he couldn't care about it anymore.
……
……
As the sun set, Wang Xu, who was sitting in the yamen of the official department, stretched his waist, stood up, looked at the neatly arranged file, took off the official hat on his head, raised his hand and slightly sorted out the somewhat messy hair pressed by the official hat and walked out.
At this time, it was the hour of duty, Wang Xu smiled and nodded with the colleague who met him and walked towards the door.
Recently, my grandfather has become obsessed with tea sets, and after getting off duty, I happen to have the time to go around the city and see if there is anything I can use to please my grandfather.
Looking at the yamen that was getting closer and closer, Wang Xu had a smile on his face even more, and he was about to go out with two steps left.
"Lord Wang!" Someone rushed in from outside the yamen, and the smile on Wang Xu's face froze on his face.
"What's the matter?" He heard himself asking.
The person in front of him was dressed in the errand clothes of the official of Chang'an Mansion, He Taiping's people, it seems that it is impossible to walk around the city today, Wang Xu said in his heart.
When he walked into the Chang'an Mansion, Wang Xu was still a little dazed.
The government was not trying any cases, he was taken directly to the backyard of the government office, and at a glance he saw He Taiping and a teenage white young man next to him.
"The little one has seen Lord Xiao Wang." There was a strange sharpness in the young man's voice.
Wang Xu stared at him for a moment, and suddenly said, "Are you an errand boy in the palace?" "This should be the father-in-law who has been cleaned in the palace.
"Slave Xiaofuzi." The young man said, "Li Dequan, the former head of the Inner Palace, is the godfather of the slaves. ”
Li Dequan! Wang Xu was slightly stunned, and came back to his senses, the red man in front of the first emperor had left the palace not long after the death of the first emperor.
He Taiping glanced at Xiao Fuzi, and Xiao Fuzi understood and spoke immediately.
"Godfather is missing!" His eyes were red, and he kowtowed heavily to the king, "He was taken captive." ”
This is a case of a lost population! Wang Xu didn't speak, but just glanced at He Taiping, who had a delicate look in his eyes. He Taiping is a conscientious parent official, and if he has no choice but to do so, he will never hand things over to others, and even if he transfers them, it stands to reason that he will not come to him. Di Fangxing of Dali Temple, why did officials from the Ministry of Officials who have countless servants and Shangshu come to him?
Unless...... Unless it is something that only he can do, or to be precise, not something that he can do, it is something that the Wang family can interfere in.
Of course, such a thing cannot be known to the whole world.
There were only three of them in the room, and Xiao Fuzi looked in a trance with a frightened expression.
Although Li Dequan is not young, he has always been in good health, and after His Majesty ascended the throne, he was even ready to continue to use him, but Li Dequan left the palace on the grounds of old age and frailty.
As a celebrity around the first emperor, the days of saying goodbye to old age are much better than ordinary palace people, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, but such a day of food and clothing makes Li Dequan sigh and wake up in the middle of the night.
"The godfather didn't say anything, but he didn't look at the mood very well...... "Xiao Fuzi said, "Once the slave went to see the godfather and drank some wine with him, and the godfather said that someone was looking for him or something, and at that time he also found a few warriors from the street to protect the house for a while." Afterward...... After that, nothing happened. ”
"After that, there were not enough people in the palace, and the servants failed to get the leave ......"
They also know that during that period of time, Chang'an was under martial law, and the spies in the southwest were almost screened, and the manpower was indeed small, and the palace people in the palace had not left the palace for many days.
"Although the slave can't leave the palace, he still remembers to ask someone to deliver a letter or something, and the godfather keeps handing the note to the slave, saying that there is nothing to do......"
As a celebrity in front of the first emperor, Li Dequan naturally can't be illiterate, and Xiaofuzi, who was accepted by Li Dequan as his godson, is also literate.
"The slave also thought that his godfather was fine, until the day before yesterday...... The day before yesterday, the slave ......" Xiao Fuzi began to wipe his tears as he spoke, looking at this excited look, he couldn't go on. He Taiping asked Xiao Fuzi to take him out, and then he answered: "The day before yesterday, a group of palace people had a half-day holiday, and Xiao Fuzi went to Li Dequan's residence to take a look, but found that the room was already covered with dust, and it was clear that there was no one for several days. ”
Wang Xu touched his nose and said, "Although Li Dequan was an official before he left the palace, he was not under the control of the ministry, is it unnecessary for this Lord He to come to me?" ”
"When there are not enough people in the palace, it happens to be the time to strictly investigate the southwest spies," He Taiping said, "Lord Xiao Wang, Ming people don't say secret words, I suspect that Li Dequan may have something to do with this matter." ”
"The southwest is now taking the overall situation as the most important thing and negotiating peace with us." Wang Xu said, "At this time, it is a friend and not an enemy, even if it is really the person they arrested, will we turn our faces because he caught a palace person?" Besides, your suspicion has no evidence and can't be played! ”
"yes, it can't be played." He Taiping nodded and said, "So this official came to find Lord Xiao Wang." ”
Wang Xu smiled and was noncommittal.
He Taiping said: "There is always a reason why Li Dequan is in a bad mood, I suspect that he has seen things that should not be seen, and people are hidden by the southwest again, if he stands up at an inappropriate time, I am afraid of chaos." ”
Of course, he didn't suspect that this was the hand of the palace, but after thinking about it, if it was the hand of the palace, there was no need to delay it for so long, and he would have done it a long time ago. Therefore, it should not be the head of the palace.
The smile on Wang Xu's face disappeared, and he looked at He Taiping: No one is stupid, and there are a lot of things that can be seen that Your Majesty's seat is not coming from the right way. But this kind of thing does not mean that it will make a big fuss, not to mention, the current His Majesty has done a very good job, which is enough to convince the public.
It's just that this hidden danger exists after all, and I don't know when it will jump out. In the hands of different people, there will be different results. It is useless in the hands of some people, and they even have to be frightened, such as Li Dequan; In the hands of some people, it is a control, such as Pei Xingting and Cui Yuandao; But if it is put in the hands of a person with soldiers and prestige, and he stands up at the right time, I am afraid that it will really cause chaos.
For example, Chen Shan.
