Chapter 55:-for-tat
The capital of the Jin Kingdom, a prosperous place, in the Dongcheng District of the capital, in a slightly remote alley, there is an antique mansion, the courtyard door is wide open, quiet and peaceful.
This is a mansion built by Honglu Temple for foreign envoys to visit and stay, although it is not particularly luxurious, but everywhere you can see the charm of the Jin Kingdom and hundreds of years of inheritance, from the front yard to the garden to enjoy the scenery, although the sparrow is small, it is complete, and it is a good place to live.
This is also from Qilian Mountain, where Wu Heng and his party temporarily lived in the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and it was also specially requested by Wu Heng himself.
The people placed here by the Guy Wei Imperial Court, that is, the so-called real ones, who have been appointed by Emperor Wei and have official edicts and documents, are all above the top and are very reluctant to have direct contact with the people on Wu Heng's side.
They were very angry and tired of Wu Heng, a person who did not receive the emperor's edict, but went out on his own in the name of the patriots.
The so-called improper name is not good, such behavior, it is simply a transgression, and it can even be said to be a great rebellion, even if you are the prince of the dynasty, the prince of the country's subordinates, it is not so, after all, the prince and the real king, the gap is so big, like the difference between cloud and mud, you have not been the emperor, you exercise imperial power in a grand manner, this is too serious about yourself.
If it weren't for being in another country, they didn't want to fight, and let outsiders see the jokes, but I was afraid that they would come directly to the door and expel Wu Heng and his party, and now they just took the initiative to write to the courts of the two countries, so that the Jin side should not meet with such a kingless person for the time being, and wait for the decision of the patriotic side first.
It's a pity that the people on the side of the Patriotic Embassy, even until now, don't know that Wu Heng has entered the palace once alone.
To say that these envoys of the country, one by one, have been operating in the Jin country for many years, not only in the capital there are many eyeliners, but also in the DPRK and the central government There are also a considerable number of friends, on weekdays will hold regular banquets in the embassy to exchange the court, many times, they have undertaken the task of reporting to the Wei side at any time to transmit the information of the Jin country, the embassy here and the mayfly side, are deeply involved, belongs to the relationship of cooperation.
can make them not know this kind of news, in the entire Jin Kingdom, in fact, only one person can do it.
As the place where Wu Heng and others were invited for the first time, in the center of this mansion, in the huge main hall with hollow on all sides, there were two people sitting around a heating stove at this moment, chatting and drinking tea with each other as if no one was around, without the restraint and politeness that they should have in other people's residences.
Chen Jing, the Dazai of the Dynasty, was sitting on the main seat at this time, and the person sitting next to him was none other than Situ Zhu Fengxian, who had just recovered from the pain of losing his father and had become rejuvenated at this moment.
At the door, a steady sound of footsteps sounded, and Wu Heng, who had just finished his work and had just come back from outside, walked in from the door with a few accompanying attendants.
As soon as a few attendants entered the courtyard, they saw the scene in front of them, and their eyes suddenly condensed slightly, with a hint of anger.
Although they only represent their own crown prince, not the official envoy on behalf of the patriotic court, but since this place has been used as their embassy, it is temporarily regarded as their private place, and the other party actually entered without telling them in such a grand manner, and even calmly sat on the main seat to make tea and drink water, which is not only slapping them in the face, but also slapping the prince's face, it is simply no one in sight, and the deception is too much!
No matter who you are, don't be so rude!
But he didn't want to, Wu Heng directly stretched out his hand to stop the attendants around him who wanted to have a seizure, and after giving some instructions, he took his hand and walked over alone.
What kind of person Wu Heng is, of course he understands why Chen Dazai, who has always shown himself as gentle and polite, would behave so rudely today, this is actually just a warning to him about the small actions he has made in private these days.
But Wu Heng didn't care about this, he didn't go too far, he just planted some seeds of hatred here, which is not too obvious, but once the seeds are buried in people's hearts, unless you kill the person concerned, otherwise this cannot be extinguished, with the passage of time, take root and sprout, grow slowly, and sooner or later there will be a day when Zhang becomes a towering tree.
"Chen Dazai!"
Wu Heng, who knew that he was at a loss, took the initiative to step forward at this time, and from a distance, he raised his hand and saluted the person in the house.
As soon as Zhu Fengxian saw that it was him, his face was displeased, and he just wanted to stand up and say something, but was firmly held by Chen Jing next to him with a hand.
Zhu Feng turned his head sideways first, and glanced at the fat next to him with a puzzled expression, but found that the other party didn't even have the slightest change in the expression on his face, just silently drank the freshly brewed tea, knowing that he didn't want to make trouble, and finally could only sit down again angrily.
"Mr. Wu. β
Chen Jing casually put down the teacup in his hand, but did not get up to greet him, he just arched his hand very casually towards the opposite side, and saw that the guards standing outside were suddenly even more annoyed, if it weren't for Wu Heng who told them not to be impulsive just now, they would definitely go up and reason with them at this time.
The so-called lord humiliates the death of his ministers, this is the truth, especially for them, the attendant warriors, they can die, but they must not watch their masters be humiliated.
Wu Heng and Zhu Fengxian next to him glanced at each other, regardless of the threat and resentment in each other's eyes, Wu Heng put on a calm look, and asked with a smile: "Your Excellency is coming, won't Lord Dazai introduce one or two first?"
Chen Jing didn't speak, but Zhu Fengxian knocked on the table lightly and said coldly: "Down, Zhu Fengxian!"
Wu Heng had actually guessed who he was, but he still pretended to be surprised at the moment, and said in a tone full of emotion: "Oh, it turned out to be the great Situ of the current dynasty, disrespectful and disrespectful! In the next Wu Heng, it is just a cloth cloth, I have seen the great Situ here! Heng has been poor since he was a child, and his behavior is vulgar, if there are any words and inconsiderate hospitality, I hope your lord will forgive me!"
As he spoke, he took the initiative to step forward, bowed and saluted, and bowed to the ground for a long time, his movements were meticulous, which could be called a big salute.
Zhu Fengxian was born in a family of etiquette, his father is Taichangqing, in charge of a country's rituals and sacrifices, and his education since childhood is to respect etiquette and etiquette, and be the Confucian gentleman, especially after his father hanged himself, he has changed a lot from his heart, so that he is no longer as lazy as before, hanging his son, so although he is dissatisfied with Wu Heng's various behaviors, he still stood up and returned a very solemn salute, but now he is one of the three princes, facing a cloth cloth, it is just an ordinary bow.
Chen Jing clapped his hands gently, and then added a new teacup from the side, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Sit!"
Just "sit", not the word "please".
Wu Heng didn't care, nor did he hesitate, and sat opposite Chen Jing with a smile, that is, Zhu Fengxian's left hand, without restraint.
Chen Jing did not continue to attack him, after sitting in the position of one person under the Jin Kingdom and above ten thousand people, Chen Jing can no longer be the former Chen Jing, even if he knows that the opposite person is simply a vicious "poisoner" , with a plan to point directly at the hearts of the people, vicious and cunning, leaving shadows everywhere, there are secret words in every sentence, is a person who will cause trouble in the south and affect all countries, but for the future of the Jin Kingdom, he also has to treat him well, even if he knows that this person has even begun to plan how to get rid of himself after extinguishing the cold, but he can only let it go.
As he said before, the cause he planted will always bear fruit, this kind of thing, he can't blame others, since he Chen Jing wants to be this sole minister, he has already seen his own end, and he has long been mentally prepared.
But there are some things, someone has to do it, he Chen Jing is just willing to take the initiative to be the one who dares to be the first in the world and resist the fortune of a country on his shoulders.
After Wu Heng finally sat down here, Chen Jing opened his mouth and praised: "The "Theory of Extinguishing the Cool" that Mr. said in the court is really an eye-opener, that court debate, thinking that I am the civil and military ministers of the Jin Kingdom, will be said by Mr. alone, and there is no way to refute it, it can be seen that Mr. is really a great talent in the world! Chen Jing admires, admires!"
This compliment, but the tone is extremely bland, the words are half sincere, half false, for Wu Heng's admiration for talent, that is indeed true, even if it is a poisoner, it is also the world's top strategist, but this kind of one-person power, overwhelmed the ministers of the Jin State, and also greatly lost the face of the Jin State, especially in this "Theory of Extinguishing the Cold", denounced the defeat of the Jin State that year, and took this kind of sore spot that outsiders should not and dare not touch, to stimulate the entire Jin Kingdom, in order to achieve his own goals, Chen Jing naturally will not be too happy.
Even if this matter was originally promoted and acquiesced by Chen Jing, Wu Heng was too vicious, which really made him dislike.
Chen Jing is not a true gentleman, but he can't appreciate this kind of "villain".
It's just that he needs an outsider to help him point out these problems, and he needs a strong ally to face the powerful Liang Kingdom together, so for Wu Heng, he can only let it go.
Wu Heng is a smart person, Chen Jing doesn't say anything here, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand, he quickly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said with a smile: "This is not my ability alone, if it weren't for Dazai's full support, there would be no grass people in the next place, and I would never dare to make a big statement in the Jinluan Palace, facing a full hall of Zhu Zi." β
In this regard, Chen Jing just sneered, and then said: "I won't go around with you anymore, let's just say it clearly, I am very interested in the plan you said before to extinguish the cold, but in the end, you are just a lobbyist for a prince who has not yet ascended the throne, if I promise you today, but it is difficult to protect Duanmu Shuofeng in the future, then what?"
The Liang country is powerful, no country can compare, the plan to extinguish the Liang requires all parties to act together, and it is the power of the vein of Duanmu Shuofeng to defend the country, if you wait until the other princes take the throne, then what they are talking about now is just bullshit, how should the Jin Kingdom deal with itself when the time comes?
Wu Heng shook his head slightly, and then said in a rather regretful tone: "Alas, it seems that Dazai still doesn't understand one thing. β
"Oh?" Chen Jing's eyes were cold, but his tone was still very calm, "Please also ask Mr. for advice." β
Wu Heng propped up the table, leaned out his upper body, looked directly at Chen Jing opposite, and read softly: "Now it's not us who defend the country and ask you to Jin Guo, but your Jin Kingdom to ask us!"
When Zhu Fengxian saw it, he immediately slapped the table, pointed at Wu Heng and scolded angrily: "Presumptuous!
Wu Heng ignored the anger of the "Great Situ" next to him, stood up directly from his seat, flicked his sleeves, and said loudly: "The heart of the Liang Kingdom to go north is well known, but our defense country has the Qilian Heavenly Danger, even if the Liang State has ten times the strength of me? What Dazai doesn't understand is this, the Liang Kingdom is a threat to all countries, this is a fact, but the first to bear the brunt must be the Jin Kingdom!"
Zhu Fengxian immediately retorted: "It's ridiculous, my Jin country boys are united, the whole country is united, who can cross Yanran Lake? Even if there are millions of elites in Liang Kingdom, we are not afraid of it!"
When Wu Heng heard this, he turned his head to look at him, and said with disdain: "If you die early, how dare you say such a thing now?"
"You!"
Zhu Fengxian was so angry that he almost scolded directly.
There is no other reason, this Liang country's Chang general, is simply a lingering nightmare in the hearts of the Jin people, when he used his own strength, but 200,000 soldiers and horses, slaughtered the Jin country's million army, one person captured the current Yanzhou, just on its prestige, regardless of the overall military exploits, in fact, he was still above the ancestor of the Xu family back then, and the Chang Dingfang of the year was especially a young man, if it was not infected with a vicious disease and died early, no one dared to say that he could defeat him, and the people of the south even said that he was the reincarnation of Wuqu Xing, and after taking Yanzhou for the Liang country, after completing the task, he went to heavenγ
Chen Jing coughed, stopped Zhu Fengxian, and then looked at Wu Heng again, his eyes were shining, and his tone was still very flat: "Lips and teeth are cold, everyone understands this truth, don't put on a high-minded attitude, this is good for you and me, the Jin Kingdom is broken, and the Liangguo Iron Horse can cross the Qilian Mountains, from the territory of my Jin Kingdom, and go straight to the hinterland of the Wei Kingdom, when the time comes, will your hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Qilian Mountain stay on the mountain and wait for death?"
One word hit the crux of it, and Wu Heng didn't want to say anything else, but said: "Since Dazai understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, can he tolerate a weak and incompetent person to become the monarch of the country?"
Wu Heng's meaning is very simple, no matter what, whether it is now or in the future, you Jin Kingdom, the only partner you Chen Jing can choose to cooperate with, then only my father-in-law, Duanmu Shuofeng alone, and the other princes, they don't have the ability to cooperate with you at all.
But he didn't want to, Chen Jing laughed out loud, and said sharply: "Then I will directly drive the troops to swallow the country, the two will be one, and then borrow troops from Nanyang to resist this cool country, I don't think it will be a problem." β
The eyes of the two collided in the air, and suddenly a cold light appeared, and even the atmosphere in the room froze.
Because what Chen Jing is talking about now is not Duanmu Shuofeng's original idea?
