Zeng Shifan said, "Although the situation is unclear, King Ye, King Ling, and King Jun are still doing serious errands, and the three of them are all in their chests and are not panicked. ”

Zeng Xuezhi nodded and said, "The battle for the throne, between the three of them, originally with the virtue of King Ling, the odds of winning are not great, but now he has become calm, forbearing, and the outcome is unpredictable." ”

"Father doesn't have to worry too much, we don't rush to make a statement. ”

Zeng Xuezhi glanced at him, "Your vision is still too low, the family and the country are all over the world, there is no country and no home, the succession to the throne is about the national body, about whether you can live in peace in the troubled times, the country is weak, the people are low, we must also choose a monarch who can take on great responsibilities, before we think about the way of the family." ”

"The children are taught, and they all listen to you. ”

Zeng Xuezhi let him back in disappointment, looking at the thick night outside the window, even if the house was brightly lit, it could only shine three or five steps outside the house, and the night seemed to be about to invade suddenly, and sighed deeply.

At the same time, in an ordinary courtyard in the city, four or five people with masks gathered around a table, and a small oil lamp on the table, talking solemnly.

A person who looked like the leader said, "Now that King Rui is out of control, he is setting himself on fire, and the master has already ordered to push him, let the Xie family relax their vigilance first, and let you go to contact King Ling, how is it." ”

The one on the left said, "King Ling is thinking about it, I see that he has already moved, and I think there will be an answer soon." ”

"That's good, the Xie family represents the hearts of some people, the original puppet plan won't work, their insight is too terrible, we just need to cooperate with the King of Ling, consume other princes, deal with the Xie family, destroy the foundation of the Chu State, and then the army will sweep in, and our mission will be completed." ”

The man on the right said, "This time we sacrificed so many chess pieces at once, can we really paralyze them?"

"No matter how powerful they are, they are just a group of young people, Xie Ling is unparalleled in strategy, and he is a conceited young man after all, hasn't it been verified last time?"

The person on the right always felt that it was inappropriate, "Then Sister Xie and the others are not jealous." ”

The leader didn't care, "No matter how she is, she is just a woman, just let her and the twilight sky sink into the wind and snow, sooner or later she is just a foreign surname of the Xie family, and she can't enter and leave the court, besides, she is just a woman with outstanding martial arts and is protected by her family, maybe it is Xie Ling's weakness, just keep an eye on me from afar." ”

"But. ”

The person on the left hurriedly stopped his words, "These are all orders from the master, let's just do it according to the instructions, what are you fighting with the boss with a dead eye, people who don't want to do it are staring at it, his Xie family has withdrawn from the capital for ten years, but we have been secretly deployed here for ten years, can we be afraid of him?"

The person on the other side said impatiently, "Don't dwell on these things anymore, Miss Cui Yue is about to come to Chujing, but the master ordered to follow the instructions of a person named Ning Ming, this person has never heard of it." ”

The leader said, "Miss Cui Yue has a noble status, but she is just a woman, she can't make a big deal, and it's nothing for the master to send someone else to preside over the affairs, but the master asked Ning Ming to be in charge of the King of Ling, it should be to test this person, it seems that the master attaches great importance to him." ”

The man on the left immediately said, "Boss, you have been here for ten years, but you let a new kid take the credit, it's too cheap for him." ”

The leader said, "It's nothing, our credit, the master will not forget, we are not the same kind of people, the tasks we are responsible for are different, the credit is everyone's, when he comes, don't say this kind of thing again." ”

"Oh. ”

"I know that everyone has been here for a long time, and they are also homesick, let's work hard, and in another year at most, we will be able to go home beautifully. ”

"Yes. ”

The person on the other side said, "Now Chujing has a lot of forces, there are eyeliner everywhere, since Xie Ling entered Beijing, there are several forces secretly observing, this time the five countries are meeting, and there are many forces, let's not temporarily restrain some." ”

"Since the five countries have sent people in, we don't need to be too careful, just do what we need to do, the more chaotic others are, the more we have to stabilize, when Miss Cui Yue comes, she has a grudge with the Xie family and King Jun, and we must also protect them in secret." ”

The man on the right, "Miss Cui Yue's actions were exposed, many people were sacrificed, and it took a lot of effort for the master to rescue her, since she is not capable enough and has an impulsive temperament, why do you want to come to the capital, Sister Xie will definitely not let her go." ”

The man on the left said, "Can you stop talking about Sister Xie Yan, under our eyelids, we can't protect Miss Cui Yue?" Sister Xie wants to mess around, and others won't let her act arbitrarily, Miss Cui Yue is the deputy envoy of the mission." ”

The leader said, "I know that you have a lot of complaints about Miss Cui Yue in your hearts, but she just lacks training, the master sent us out, there is a lack of arms around her, and there is nothing wrong with sacrificing some people to cultivate a loyal right-hand man, Miss Cui Yue, but she really supports the master, she was young and vigorous before, and now the class is not necessarily, if she kills 40,000 people in Xizhou, so that the plan of the border army and the state army to kill each other succeeds, you only have to worship now, but she is also guilty of conceit." ”

"Actually, I didn't expect that she, a woman, would actually come up with such a plan, if it is more thorough, if it succeeds, our army can easily break through the west in the future." ”

"That's just an assumption, you only see her wisdom, you can't ignore the plans of her opponents, how we failed miserably in the west, we must also be sober." ”

The man on the left said, "Don't be presumptuous, the master's plan is nothing in the world, and we will also be the creators of a piece of history." ”

The leader said, "Don't fight, I know you have different opinions, but you have to remember your identity, even if we have great ambitions and are full of strategy, now we are just lurking in Chu Jing's meticulous work, and we may die for the sake of the plan at any time, our task is to break the defense of Chu from the inside, and then wait for the army to attack." ”

Seeing him so solemn, the others said in unison, "My subordinates understand. ”

"Jixia School Palace has begun to operate, our people have discovered their whereabouts, the emperor's order has already appeared once, I want you to find out the identity of the emperor immediately, the master said, if you can kill them before the emperor appears, it will be equivalent to destroying the spirit of the Chu State, and at that time, it will be an empty shell, and I will not be allowed to slaughter it." ”

Several people glanced at each other, "The subordinates receive the order." ”

"Remember your mission, it's all gone. ”

The lamp shook violently and suddenly went out, but after a few breaths, there was no human breath in the room, and the hot lamp slowly cooled down.

News suddenly came from the palace that Concubine Qiong was angry with His Majesty and was grounded in Qionghua Palace.

It's just a concubine, but the news has spread to every force, and in Duanwang's Mansion, Duanwang, who has always been gentle to people, has a big temper, which frightened the people in Duanwangfu.

As soon as the little marquis entered the front hall, he was frightened by the cup that fell at his feet, and looked at the angry Duan Wang, "What's wrong with you?

waved his hand to let everyone go out, and King Duan sat on the main seat, "Concubine Qiong Niangniang is grounded." ”

"Your Majesty is sick and confused, but it is grounded, when Your Majesty thinks about it, Niangniang will return to favor, you don't have to worry. ”

King Duan sat there and looked at him fixedly for a while.

The little marquis has never seen such a Duanwang, and there is something in his eyes that he has never seen before, as if it is, ambition.

"You come with me. ”

When the two entered the study, they saw that on the bookcase, it was no longer poetry and classics, or calligraphy and paintings, but all kinds of folds and official documents.

Xiao Hou Ye suddenly realized the change of this brother who grew up together, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, and he wanted to leave, and the two of them would see each other tomorrow, and they would still be the same good brothers as before, but they couldn't take a step, and stood firmly until the people around him walked to the bookcase.

King Duan pointed to the official document on the table and said, "What do you say this is?" ”

"Kumon. ”

"No, it's my father's expectation of me, and he chose me. ”

The little marquis wanted to smile, but he couldn't even bend the corners of his mouth, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty is seriously ill, and you are also an adult, it is right to help him share his worries, don't think too much, you are just like before, carefree, leisurely tea and writing, isn't it good?"

Duan Wang sneered, "Heh, then why can't you fight cocks and lackeys and beat Ma Jinghua now, but study hard, and even start to specialize in power." ”

The little marquis's eyes dimmed suddenly, and he was silent.

King Duan knew that when it came to his heart, he was obviously very sad in his heart, so he continued: "I know, you think I am dreaming, I have no power, no power, no ability, who will support me? But my father chose me, Concubine Qiong said, my father is old, more and more soft-hearted, want to support me, protect all his sons, I know you don't believe it, many people don't believe it, so what, I never said, I don't want this, it's all you, you, what you think I don't want." ”

The little marquis gradually came back to his senses, and his expression was as usual, "Who else have you told me?"

"Hehe, you have also learned to be emotionally restrained and not exposed. I went to Dazaifu and Xie Fu, and although my grandfather promised to support me, Dazaifu was also declining after all, and there was no vitality. I went to Xie's house to ask to marry Yu'er, but they sternly refused and refused to agree, do they look down on me?"

"Did you go to Xie's house to marry Miss Xie Yu? What did you say, did you offend them? ”

King Duan said loudly, "What offense must not be offended, I am the prince, I want to marry a courtier, it is their glory, I ask for good words, they don't know how to lift, don't blame me, Xie Yu, I must marry, the throne, I must also fight." ”

"Are you crazy? How can you make enemies with so many people, King Ye, King Ling, King Jun, even King Rui, how did you defeat them, how did you become like this, losing your mind, your eyes are full of ambition. ”

"Why can't I, I am familiar with the classics, I am very talented, and I have the will of my father, as long as I study hard, the throne, why can't I sit firmly. Ge Yue, you are my best friend, are you willing, take this road with me. ”

"Can you calm down first. ”

Duanwang's crazy face suddenly pulled down, calm and worried, "Heh, although my grandfather said that he would support me, but in his eyes, I didn't see a trace of hope for success, and the Xie family, in their eyes, there are only two ridiculous words, I only have you." ”

"Chongguang, it's good for you to be your original self, why bother yourself. ”
