Chapter 75 of the fourth "Festival in the Wind" The truth

Once a clean life, they are all famous corners of the capital, and at this moment, they can do their best, and they can crack the stone with songs.

Three people, one in a hurry, one sentence as tight as a sentence. Break.

That Xu Yanzhao said loudly: "These are all loyal ministers and good generals of the previous dynasty." Yang Bo was already singing in response: "Which Zhongliang has an end again." ”

Ruiwang originally stood leaning against the window, his eyes just looking at the huge stage outside the window, splashing the sky and bustling, but he has always turned a blind eye and heard it.

However, these two sentences were clearly transmitted to his ears, which made him inexplicably shocked, his eyes moved slightly, and he heard a lively sound in his ears, and Concubine Li Yan pleaded sadly, "There is no end to it, and listen to the mourning family......

"Lu Dongli and Feng Jinjie are all meritorious people of my Great Zhao, loyal ministers." Lu Ze's slightly regretful voice came from behind at the right time.

The strife on the stage, the feelings of the monarch and the minister on the stage, in an instant, returned to another distant world.

"I know they are loyal, I know they have merit, I know that if I get a great position, I can have such courtiers to help, I will make a difference, but so what?" King Rui's voice was almost angry: "While I have nothing to gain, I must eradicate all those who stand in my way, even if they are good people." If it were my brothers, would they do better than me? They will give up the only chance they can win over Uncle Nine. Give up the chance to control the strongest army in the country, and go to protect two loyal ministers who refuse to help them? ”

Lu Zewei was one of the few people around King Rui who saw him angry, but still had the courage to finish his words: "Lord Wang, I just think that the Nine Princes hate Lu Donglian, and all along, only Lu Dongli has come forward to embarrass the Nine Princes, and the Wind Festival just beat Su Ling." In the eyes of the Nine Kings and the Centaurs, a Su Ling is insignificant, just as the life and death of Feng Jinjie are equally insignificant. If you can keep the wind strong......"

He didn't know where that impulse came from. He was a staff member and a counselor, standing behind the monarch. In the invisible darkness of the world, they plan all actions, whether light or dark, for the good of the sovereign, to remove all obstacles, and when there is blood and filth that is not suitable for the sovereign but must be faced, it is up to them to arrange and operate.

For that supreme cause, there are many people and many things. There must be sacrifice, there must be destruction. Among them, there are good people, loyal ministers or good generals.

It's all there. He should understand better than anyone else. However, in the end, I still can't be as calm as water.

After his lord told him the stories of the past, the two distant and strange friends, and all the things that a pair of generals had done side by side together, he would also have this moment of unbearable, a moment of amazement, and endurance and endure. I couldn't help but say this.

"I've said so much to you, and you still don't understand? I don't want to kill the wind festival. How could I kill Feng Jinjie...... "King Rui didn't dare to drink for fear of disturbing the people outside, but at this moment, his face was almost hideous" However, after talking so much about the past, you should know that if you kill Lu Dongli and leave Feng Jinjie, with the friendship between the two of them, it will become a big disaster that we will never be able to get rid of in the future. ”

Lu Zewei had never seen King Rui glaring at him with such fierce eyes, and at this moment, he was shocked, lowered his head obediently, and never said a word more.

They are friends, they are close friends, but, in the end, they are nothing more than kings and ministers.

Over the years, he has followed him, helped him, planned for him, and campaigned for him.

And he never used rules to demand him, and never restrained him with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister. The palace allows him to come and go, and his subordinates are assigned by him, and when he has something on his mind, he is willing to confide in him, and when he does something wrong, he is willing to listen to him correct, but in the final analysis, he is still a monarch and a minister.

After all, there will be such a day, he will have red eyes, a cold face, and speak in such a fierce and even hateful tone.

Lu Zewei felt a little lost in his heart, but he didn't intend to sigh, after so many years, he should also let himself be vigilant and keep in mind more, what is the king and the minister, the master and the servant, the upper and the lower.

It's just, why, in my heart, there will be a little bit of amazement, why, at this moment, I will suddenly think of those two, he has no chance to intersect, but at this time he feels very familiar with the general general.

When they are together, they will quarrel, they will joke, they will have disagreements, and will they also have exhortations? In any case, there will not be this momentary change of face, a moment of coldness, a moment of condescension, a moment of indifference, right?

Such a friend, such a friend......

Suddenly, he remembered that at this moment, maybe Lu Dongli and Feng Jinjie had to face it, the greatest unbearable and extremely painful in this life, and his heart couldn't help but feel compassion.

And King Rui's face was gloomy, his breath was slightly panting, and although it was Lu Zewei who was blamed for the attack just now, it was the hidden pain that he had been pressing on his heart for a long time.

He said, I don't want to kill Feng Jinjie, perhaps, in his heart, I really don't want to kill, however, the whole thing, he is fueling the fire, desperately trying to force Feng Jinjie to a dead end.

He said that in order to avoid great troubles in the future, but he himself knew that the most important thing he had done was because he hated it.

Hate that man, forever careless smile.

On the high building, there were beautiful people, and they drank good wine, and regarded the king as the pride of dust.

He dug his heart and heart to express his position, gestured with all his heart, and used all means to close him, but the man had no intention of looking at it. Lazily only said: "I advance and retreat with Lu Shuai." ”

He has always been deep and ruthless in the city, but he is really moved by the person's ease and calmness, he really wants to exchange a beautiful conversation between the monarch and the minister through the ages with a bare heart, he handed over his heart, but that person trampled on it in a casual smile.

So he hated the most, so he wanted to drive that person into a desperate situation, to see if that person would still smile so casually and calmly, as if the sky was falling, and he would not be shocked or move his eyebrows.

So he wants to set the situation so fiercely, if that person is in such a desperate situation, but sees that his friends who are willing to support him forever and advance and retreat forever refuse to help him, will not help him, are unwilling to save him, and even personally behead and execute him, forcing him to death, can that person still laugh? Will you be so lazy, in any case, firmly say, "Will I advance and retreat with Lu Shuai?" ”

When he thought about it, he felt surprisingly happy. That's a real pleasure mixed with inexplicable pain.

What's more, this matter can not only help him control the strongest army in the country, but also allow him to get the support of the Nine Kings.

In that case, what reason did he have not to do it, and even if he did, what reason did he not do it to the extreme.

In today's Zhao State, the most powerful person, except for King Zhao, is the Nine Princes.

The ninth prince is the ninth son of the first emperor, smart and brave, strong and decisive, but because his biological mother was a lowly palace maid, in the case of many brothers and most of them of noble birth, the possibility of obtaining the throne is very small, and he was born with a disabled foot, and in a hunting trip, he was accidentally injured by a stray arrow and blinded. In terms of the system of etiquette, it is even more impossible to give the throne to someone with such a major disability when there are many options.

It is destined that no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to get on the throne

He chose to support the weakest of his brothers, who was incompetent and debaucherous. After King Zhao ascended the throne today, he became the first hero of Conglong, and also became the most powerful vassal king in China. For more than 20 years, no one dared to go against Longlin, and even King Zhao was scruples about three points and three points of courtesy.

Of course, this is also because of his accurate vision back then, and the brother he chose to support back then was indeed a person who was gentle and timid, and only wanted to be comfortable and happy, so after so many years, he came over peacefully and uneventfully.

Over the years, the only one who has clashed head-on with the Nine Princes and dealt a blow to him and can get out safely is Lu Dongli.

His actions back then cut off the great financial resources of the Nine Kings and the Nine Kings, so that from the Nine Kings to the lowly officials, they all greatly ruined their fortunes. Until now, the military quartermaster of Dingyuan Pass, all the military quarters of the border town, such a big source of wealth, the nine kings and the first line, are still difficult to get involved in the distribution of profits.

Of course, the Nine Kings have so much money that they can't spend far in a few lifetimes, which is not enough to hurt his vitality at all, but no one will dislike the money, and when their own interests are damaged, it is easier for people to remember hatred. What's more, what really hurt the Nine Kings was the damage to their faces, the blow to their prestige, and the questioning of their authority, all of which made this old prince under one person and above ten thousand people extremely angry.

However, Chen Guo continued to attack, so that the Nine Kings could not move Lu Dongli.

The Nine Princes are getting older and older. When people are old, they are inevitably paranoid, and when they are young, they are smart and resolute, and they often become stubborn and crazy. There are many Ming monarchs and heroes in the history books, and when they reached old age, they were confused and crazy, and they did many things that angered people and people.

Although the Nine Princes are not the emperor, their temperament is even more domineering than the emperor. these years. Lu Donglian's offense to him has always been a thorn in his heart, but time passes day by day, his body is aging day by day, but he can't find a chance to take revenge, which makes him feel that time is running out. He became more and more anxious, lest he would not be able to take revenge before his death, he would not be able to recast his authority, and his incompetent son would not be able to keep his family business after his death.

At this time, all the princes coveted the throne, and wanted to get the supreme throne, and wanted to overthrow the rightful prince, the most powerful nine princes in the country. It's the object they have to woo.

It's a pity that the Nine Kings are old and don't have the ambitions of their youth. Too lazy to intervene in the battle for the throne of young people, asking for trouble. As for the nephews' courtesy, they are even more ignorant. What these nephews have land he doesn't have, there is nothing good at all, he can be told to care.

King Rui knew that in the past few years, the only thing that the Nine Princes were worried about was Lu Dongli. The regret of being offended but not fighting back is his biggest knot.

Of course. In the case that Chen Jun has been constantly attacking, anyone with vision. I won't kill Lu Dongli. It's just that King Rui also knows that the time to deal with Lu Dongli is only at this time.

Because Feng Jinjie is too shrewd and powerful, if one day the Chen army no longer attacks and the two countries do not go to war again, he will definitely start to arrange a self-protection strategy, and at that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to kill Lu Dongli again.

However, now that the war is still being fought, even the Wind Festival must have thought that they can take advantage of the enemy to make themselves safe, and there is no corresponding preparation and contingency strategy, and if it is launched at this time, it can catch them off guard.

Of course, King Rui is not the kind of person who is frivolous and arrogant, who only sees the immediate benefits and has no overall planning. It is impossible for him to put the country under the threat of a foreign enemy breaking through at any time for the sake of momentary gain. If this is the case, even if you get the dragon chair, you will not be able to sit steadily.

But he is many times more powerful than the Wind Spirit, as well as years of secret training of dead soldiers and a powerful intelligence network, enough wealth for activities, and a ruthless heart if necessary.

In the past, Zhao had no dealings with other countries, taking advantage of natural dangers and closed himself, and all his secret plans were based on his own country, until the first time Chen Guotie rode through the far pass, he woke up to the fact that Zhao could not completely get rid of the containment of other countries.

Therefore, at the first time, he sent many of his powerful people to Chen Guo to lurk beside the powerful people as much as possible, collecting information from all sides for him, and secretly laying down forces in the dark.

Chen is the only country among the kingdoms that can cross the desert to attack Zhao, that is, the only country that can have a great influence on Zhao.

Then, he knew that Chen Guo's years of reckless military force had made the country very tired, the treasury seemed to be very empty, and there were no more young and strong people in the country. Chen Guoren learned from the pain, and there were many lords and factions, among which the second prince was the leader, asking the country to stop the war and recuperate.

However, King Chen was extremely warlike, and did not pay attention to these exhortations, and in order to fight, he even collected the land and property of the princes and nobles as military funds, and even the princes gradually moved towards the embarrassing situation of being poor and white after years of war.

King Rui is a brave and decisive person, and in the end, he took a great deal of responsibility and quietly made his henchmen contact the second prince of Chen Guo, and they exchanged letters with each other, and they hit it off.

King Rui secretly contributed money and people to help the second prince of Chen Guo collect talents to enrich his power, and the second prince of Chen promised that if he won the throne in the new year, he would form a brotherly state with Zhao and never lose each other. With the force of Chen State, it will be the barrier of Zhao State, and from now on, unless other countries can destroy Chen State, they will never be able to invade Zhao State.

Of course, King Rui would not be naïve enough to believe that such a promise could be kept forever, but as long as the second prince succeeded, Zhao Guo would have at least ten years of comfortable life, and during these ten years, Chen Guowei would be friendly, and there would be no shortage of promises, contracts, and even gifts.

All this will become the political capital of King Rui, so that he can walk closer to the throne.

Ten years later, when Chen Guo recuperated enough to send troops to fight without hurting the national strength, King Rui was confident that he could also build Dingyuan Pass into a city that would never be breached.

However, although the strength of the second prince is growing day by day, after all, Chen Guo is a country established by force, and the commanders of various armies are all confidants of King Chen. But the second prince had quietly taken the deputy marshal as his subordinate a long time ago.

What kind of magical opportunity made two princes from two countries who had never met before, and at the same time did not hesitate to assassinate famous generals in order to compete for military power.

What kind of miraculous deal is it, so that the continuous war that cannot be ended by the bloody confrontation on the battlefield is marked with a despicable political transaction in the shadows.

On the battlefield, the commander of Chen Guo was seriously injured from behind by a cold arrow from his own people, and then, the deputy marshal who had been prepared for a long time, rescued him back to the camp with a heroic and caring attitude before the Zhao army had time to discover that the enemy commander was seriously injured, and when his own army had not yet found out that the commander was seriously injured.

It doesn't matter if the treatment is ineffective in the future, whether it is because someone secretly killed the killer on the way to treatment. In short, Chen Shuai died, and the deputy marshal took over the whole army as a matter of course, concealed the mourning as a matter of course, and withdrew the army as a matter of course.

He saved 70,000 men from the loss of sieges, and he gave his master a powerful force in the midst of the civil strife that would soon sweep the country.

And a few days ago, King Rui, who was far away in Zhao State, knew about the 80,000 Great Chen Kingdom

of wars, and how will they end.

He personally asked to see his Nine Kings Uncle, and personally proposed to help the Nine Kings get rid of the thorn in his side for many years, and reaffirm the indisputable authority of the Nine Kings that could not be offended.

And now the Nine Kings are old, so old that they don't have the shrewdness of their youth, and they are so old that they forget to help a new king who is so ruthless and cold, and it may not be a good thing for a powerful minister like him, and he only knows that he is so paranoid that he can't let go of a person who offends him, and he is so old that he only thinks about getting rid of any possible hidden dangers and enemies for his son before he dies.

The covenant was made, and King Rui gave advice to the Nine Kings, ensuring that Chen Guo would not commit any further crimes in the future, and that there would be no future trouble in getting rid of Lu Dongli at this time, and the Nine Kings would fully support King Rui to seize the throne.

And before that, King Rui also made a suggestion that if you want to kill Lu Dongfeng, you must get rid of the wind festival.

If you want to kill Lu Dongli, you should first cut the wings of his minions, and the Wind Festival is Lu Dongli's biggest help. Without the Wind Festival, Lu Dongli is a toothless tiger, and if you don't get rid of the Wind Festival first, any action against Lu Dongli may be destroyed by the Wind Festival.

A small military attache from the third grade, a confidant of Lu Dongli, the life or death of this person, the nine kings don't care, if they can deal with Lu Dongxuan, then destroy this person, the nine kings will not have any hesitation.

After this secret discussion, King Zhao's ears began to hear bad words about Lu Dongli and Feng Jinjie.

The courtiers participated in the recital, talking about how these two embezzled military salaries. The impeachment of the imperial historians is about how they are proud of their achievements, and sometimes complains, and the pillow wind of the favored concubine in the palace, and they will talk about it in their leisure, I heard that the wind festival is very powerful, and it is very prestigious among the people, and the people only know that praising the wind festival is to regenerate parents. But they forgot that it was the emperor who protected them to live a good life, by the way, the last time they lost food for the Fengjin Festival, didn't anyone threaten to say that if they wanted to cure other land crimes, they would write tens of thousands of books. Do you just gather a crowd to make trouble? Even overheard the chatter of the eunuchs and guards, and all they talked about was that Lu Dongli or Feng Jinjie indulged his subordinates, how to be powerful and prosperous, and did not take Wang Fa in his eyes, in their opinion, except for Marshal Lu and General Feng, there is nothing to care about in this world.

Maybe the emperor won't care too much about embezzlement of military salaries, but people who hold military power and have military merits. He was dissatisfied with the emperor and often complained. has a reputation among the people, and does not take the royal law in his eyes. This is not something that any emperor can tolerate.

All the difficulties on the bright side of the earth were almost raised by the subordinates of the Nine Kings, and no one could detect the Rui King who was secretly fueling the troubles.

Most of the imperial historians in the last book are protégés of the Nine Kings, whether it is a public excerpt or a privately delivered transcript, there are official archives for reference. Even if it's a dark night to see, hug your knees and present it closely. Own historian on record.

And carelessly, it seems that she just inadvertently said a pillow-style favorite concubine, on the road that the emperor must pass, when she must pass, it seems that she has never noticed it at all, just chatting idly, talking about the eunuchs and guards who are not all kinds of generals, most of them are the private of King Rui.

Whispering in the middle of the night, chatting on the way, out of the mouth of the speaker, into the ears of the hearer, since it is not seen in the written record, and there is no circumstantial evidence to be found.

These subtleties have been thought about by Ruiwang early on.

He is bent on making great achievements, he wants to accumulate fame and earn popularity, and he can't get on his body when he is stained with blood, and he can't let people hold his dirty handles.

The discerning people in the court saw that the Nine Kings had a grudge against the generals of Nading Yuanguan, but there was no half of King Chajue Rui who played a role in the secret.

King Zhao is not a particularly cruel person, he is just weak and confused. It's not that he was born ungrateful and doesn't remember his merits, but he has never participated in murder, and the three of them became tigers, and even his mother can't trust his son under people's words, not to mention that the king is already suspicious of his courtiers who hold military power.

So, whether it was King Rui or the Nine Kings, in the end they still got the result they wanted.

It's just that the Nine Kings may be very happy, but King Yu Rui really doesn't know whether he is more happy or more stunned.

Since the envoy left Beijing, he has been in a trance, and under Lu Zewei's concern, he can't help but tell some secret emotions in his heart and some past information that he has quietly discovered.

There will be this moment of inexplicable anger and inexplicable loss of control. And Lu Zewei just bowed his head quietly and obediently and retreated, never making a sound again.

At this moment, this strategist who has been commensurate with the prince's friend for many years, felt a little relieved, a little relieved, a little lost, and a little sighed.

Fortunately, such a relationship between monarchs and ministers is normal, and no matter how intimate the monarch and minister are, there are still insurmountable boundaries.

This surprise will make him always remember not to cross the line.

It's just, why, the prince is so upset and angry?

Shame, right? In the end, I still haven't been able to completely lose my conscience, and in the end, I will never be too happy in my heart to destroy such a loyal and upright person with my own hands, ......right? Still is......

He sighed to himself, not wanting to think about it again.

A counselor should try to find out the king's heart, but sometimes he should not probe the king's heart too much.

In the study, it suddenly quieted down, and the warm atmosphere of getting along with the monarchs and ministers, dissecting each other, and whispering about secret matters became suffocating.

Lu Zewei was silent for a long time before he raised his head and saw that the play outside the window had come to an end.

The monarch and the ministers finally reached a time, and the monarch finally knew who was loyal and who was a traitor, and the loyal ministers finally had to do their best to eliminate the traitor and protect the lord.

What a reunion of monarchs and ministers.

On the stage, everything is so simple, loyalty is loyalty, treachery is treachery, and the monarch, even if there is a misunderstanding and deviation, in the end there will always be a clear distinction between loyalty and treachery, and right from wrong.

On the stage, in the story, no matter how majestic the traitor was, he will definitely be beheaded in the end, and no matter how wronged the loyal minister is, he will eventually usher in a bright future.

People in the world always like to say that life is like a play, in fact, the most regrettable thing in this world is that it is a pity that life is not as good as a play.

King Rui saw that Lu Zewei's expression was slightly stunned, and his eyes kept looking out of the window, so he couldn't help but turn his eyes and look out.

The play outside the window has been played, and the three famous actors bent down together to salute all the dignitaries and nobles in the audience, and the applause in the audience seemed to have never stopped.

This is really a good show, the top famous actors, the best famous paragraphs, and the most exciting singing.

"These are all loyal ministers and good generals of the previous dynasty."

"Which loyalist has another end."
