King Rui came to Beijing, Xiao Zhuo personally went out of the city to greet him, and my senior brother and I, as vassals, stood behind him.

Seeing a group of people coming from the official road from a distance, the chariot came to him, and Xiao Zhuo stepped forward to salute: "Uncle Huang." ”

I haven't seen King Rui for several years, and the last time I was in Qingzhou, the assassin there intended to murder him, and I was ordered by my master to go to protect him.

At that time, he seemed to be very interested in me, and he also hinted at me and wanted me to do things for him, but at that time, when I saw him, he was only full of hatred, and it was good to be able to suppress the resentful spirit in his body without killing him, how could I still follow him and be his courtier?

Twenty years ago, when my father died in the north, my mother and the people of the Gu family investigated the matter and found that it was my master and a staff member named Chen Qi who went to the land of Hulu and betrayed Sheng Liang's marching formation, which led to the tragic death of my father.

This is also the reason why I would rather spend more effort to come to Shengjing and enter the Hongwen Pavilion than get close to King Rui to investigate the incident of that year.

When I saw King Rui, the resentful spirits in my body were really restless, and they were ready to move one by one, trying to force me to take King Rui's life on the spot.

I hid in the crowd, suppressed quietly, and was unavoidably noticed abnormal, and turned sideways, deliberately not looking at him.

But when he heard King Rui get out of the car, he looked at Shengjing City in front of him, and said with emotion: "It's been twenty years, I didn't expect that this king can come back......"

I heard that when he confronted my father in the court, he was also a handsome man who pointed out the country, even if he was later suspicious of the king and deposed from Beijing, he was also high-spirited and majestic, and now he has been dormant in the fiefdom for 20 years, he is old, his sideburns are dyed with white frost, and he is alone in the autumn cool, but in the face of his hometown, he seems to have picked up some of the style of the year.

Actually, now that I think about it, if he hadn't been involved in the affairs of the Northern Border and King Jing's Mansion back then, after my father died in battle, with his powerful position at that time, there was no one in the court to compete with him, and the throne and the world were probably already in his pocket, and there would have been nothing to do with Xiao Zhuo.

He said that he didn't expect him to come back, this sentence, anyway, I don't believe it, in today's government and the opposition, who doesn't know that King Rui is ambitious, hiding in the Yingzhou fiefdom all these years, has been recuperating, waiting for the day when he can wave his army and come back to seize the throne.

I think what he didn't expect was that after twenty years, when he was not fully prepared, he would return to Shengjing again as a criminal minister.

Seizure of food and salary, murder and murder, each of them is a fatal felony, Xiao Zhuo asked him to come to Beijing to explain the matter, if the explanation is not good, it is naturally a dead word.

Recently, people in Shengjing have been talking about it, King Rui is in a catastrophe this time, but I don't think it's true, after all, Peng Zhen is dead, compared to the living, it is impossible for the dead to speak.

"Master Gu......"

After greeting Xiao Zhuo, he saw me in the crowd at a glance and deliberately called me out.

Hearing his voice, the resentful spirit in my body moved even more, and I endured it so hard that I could only hide my discomfort and salute him: "See His Royal Highness King Rui." ”

King Rui walked up to me, I just wanted to straighten my waist, but he was pressed by a folding fan, I could only maintain a bowed posture, and listened to him: "I haven't seen your master for many years, it just so happens that this king came to Shengjing this time, I don't know if your master has the leisure to come here for a gathering, so as to talk about the friendship of the old servant and the old master?" ”

I knew that by saying this, he was reminding me that Master had been his staff and that I should listen to him.

But what I did for Xiao Zhuo in Yinshan was obviously betraying him, and if I let Master know, I would definitely not spare me.

Therefore, he lowered his eyes and replied: "The prince doesn't know, the family teacher went out to travel a few days ago, and now even Weichen doesn't know where he is." ”

"I see, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings."

His tone was relaxed and witty, sounding more like he was joking with the familiar juniors: "In the past, this king exchanged letters with your master, and your master said that there were three disciples under his disciples, only you were the smartest and clever, and only you were the most cranky, but now your master is not here, although this king and your master are no longer masters and servants, but they are still friends, in front of this king, you can be careful and careful, if something happens to this king, don't blame this king for being ruthless, teach your apprentices for your master." ”

Hearing the threat in his words, I lowered my body and replied, "The prince reminds, Weichen remembers." ”

Seeing that he was embarrassed for me, the senior brother stood up and bowed to him: "Lord, if you have anything to say, let's wait until you enter the city, His Royal Highness the Emperor is still waiting for you." ”

I know that my brother is defending me, but by doing so, he will only make King Rui take his anger out on him.

Sure enough, seeing him stand up, King Rui's expression was displeased, and finally, he said coldly: "Sure enough, it is a good apprentice taught by Han Zheng, a good brother!" ”

He tapped his fan twice on my shoulder and walked away.

Seeing everyone hugging Rui Wang and Xiao Zhuo walking away, I deliberately slowed down, and my senior brother sensed my intentions and slowed down to accompany me.

I lowered my voice: "The matter of Yinshan is what I did, King Rui has already annoyed me so much, why do you want to go to this troubled water?" ”

The senior brother said: "I have also been to Yinshan, and those things in the tomb were also brought out by me, so how could he let me go if he annoyed you?" Besides......"

He paused and said: "I have been like this all these years, I don't want to obey him to do things because of my master's relationship, he has long known that I am on the side of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, even if I get along with him carefully, I can't change this position, he wants to target me, but sooner or later." ”

"That being said......"

I sighed: "With the Fu family and uncle, even if King Rui is dissatisfied with you, he will not be easily embarrassed, I am the mastermind of the Yinshan matter, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

"You are my junior brother, I am your senior brother, what my junior brother does, no matter what the consequences are, the senior brother should bear it, how can I say that it has nothing to do with me, besides, I told you a long time ago that you want to take the Fu family as your own home, whether it is the power of the Fu family, or the status of my father, those things I rely on are also your reliance."

“……”

Senior brother's words surprised me, and seeing my stunned expression, the senior brother asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

I came back to my senses, retracted my gaze, and replied, "It's nothing, I thought my senior brother was angry with me, but I didn't expect ......"

Senior brother smiled bitterly: "No matter how angry I am with you, you are my junior brother after all, the affairs of our division are solved internally by the division, and outsiders want to hurt you a point, I will not allow it." ”

Senior brother's words made me embarrassed, lowered my head, and listened to him again: "Do you think, His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun is sure to win against King Rui this time?" ”

I shook my head and said with a smile, "Probably not." ”

Since the king was seriously ill, all the big and small matters in the court were handed over to Xiao Zhuo, and the matter of food and salary was not only related to Peng Zhen, but also implicated King Rui, so Xiao Zhuo ordered him to come to Beijing to explain.

The two confronted each other in the palace, but I guessed correctly, the case of Yinshan was really not embarrassed by King Rui, and in the face of Xiao Zhuo's inquiry, he pushed everything to Peng Zhen.

In front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, he kept saying that he had no idea about this matter, and it was Peng Zhen who was plotting against him, and hid the grain and salary that should have been transported to the north and the gold and silver that had been embezzled for many years in the tomb of the red calyx Niangniang, in order to show his innocence, he also lay on the temple and wept bitterly, saying that he was sorry for the red calyx, and she was used by others when she died, and there was no peace.

Xiao Zhuo didn't expect him to confess his guilt, so in the edict to King Rui, he only asked him to come to Shengjing to 'explain' the matter, otherwise if he went directly to Yingzhou to get people, or announced King Rui's crime to the world and held him accountable, he was afraid that it would force Yingzhou to rebel.

If King Rui was afraid of Xiao Zhuo's strength, he would not take the risk and launch a rebellion, so he could only follow his orders, come to Shengjing, and be charged by him as a hostage.

But there is also a possibility, that is, King Rui is very confident in his own strength, and does not want to be reduced to fish and meat on the knife to be slaughtered by Xiao Zhuo, so he declares war on the imperial court.

This is a desperate move, I'm afraid even Xiao Zhuo didn't expect that King Rui would agree so readily.

So I'm even more suspicious, the reason why King Rui came here should be something else besides Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo eventually accepted King Rui's statement, and in exchange, King Rui also accepted his disposition of Xiao Li's death.

The two of them are amicable on the surface, and they know each other tacitly, and they are all waiting for the death of the king and the arrival of the final decisive moment.

Walking out of the main hall, the senior brother had to stay in the palace to take care of the king, I walked alone on the steps, but I heard someone shouting behind me: "Master Gu, stay ......"

When I looked back, it was the staff of King Rui's side, and the person who ordered him to stop me was King Rui.

I knew that they were not good, but I could only stand still and bow to him: "Lord." ”

King Rui walked towards me, came to me, his eyes drifted to the palace building in the distance, and he asked me: "Lord Gu found out that Peng Zhen was attacked by the men in black in Yinshan back then, do you know the identities of those men in black?" ”

I didn't expect him to mention this matter to me, in fact, I don't have a clue about those people in black, but I don't, it doesn't mean that Rui Wang doesn't.

Peng Zhen's murder has happened for so many years, it is impossible for him not to let people investigate, and, according to my speculation, if those men in black killed Peng Zhen for those food, those things that were sealed in the wall, they must have hidden them, and even King Rui didn't know that those robbed things were actually still in the tomb of the red calyx.

So, he said to him: "Weichen here, there are indeed some clues, but they are not sure yet, and it will take time to confirm." ”

After a pause, he asked him tentatively: "I don't know what the prince has found?" ”

King Rui snorted, he took a few steps forward, and said: "Today's Sheng Liang is much deeper than you imagined, the king's courtiers, as well as the emperor's nephews in the palace, none of them are worry-free, but if you want to talk about the things of the past, this king believes that there is only one person in the world who can do it." ”

He turned around, looked at me, smiled mockingly, and pretended to sigh: "Twenty years ago, Brother Jing Wang died in the northern realm, and this king regretted it very much, but he has always believed that with the wisdom of that royal brother, he should not die in the kind of projectile land in the northern realm.
