readx;? Chapter 6: Breaking the Cocoon (4)
I don't know how long I sat in loneliness, but the door of the Chinese military tent was suddenly gently pushed open from outside, and a warm candlelight came in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Big brother?" Guo Wei quickly raised his head, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes. "Why are you here?"
"Don't you look at what time it is?" Zheng Renyu glared at him dissatisfied, and asked with a smile. Turning around, he took a set of trays from the hands of the soldiers behind him, and placed a cooked beef, a salt-soaked edamame, a mushroom, a steamed purple melon, and two pots of warm rice wine on the incense table one by one.
"It's so late!" Guo Wei turned his head to look out of the dark window, and sighed with a wry smile, "It's bothering the eldest brother again!"
"Stop talking nonsense, eat it while it's hot!" Zheng Renyu pulled a brocade dun and sat opposite Guo Wei. Raising his chopsticks, he first sandwiched a slice of beef for himself, and while chewing, he said vaguely, "The situation is not as bad as Xiufeng said." Even if it's really bad, you have to fill your stomach before you figure it out. The pillars of the family can't cry poor, if you mess up, we, tens of thousands of brothers, can only be birds and beasts!"
"Big brother is right!" Guo Wei smiled, poured himself a cup of hot wine, and slowly tasted it on his lips.
The wine has been aged for a short time, and there is a bitterness behind the spiciness, just like his current state of mind. After only three or two bites, his eyes became hazy.
"Eat first, then drink!" Zheng Renyu reached out and snatched the wine cup and ordered in a low voice. Immediately, he pointed to the door and ordered the soldiers, "Wait outside, and no one will be allowed to come in without the order of the privy secretary and me." Let's have a meal with our old brothers!"
"Yes!" the soldiers agreed in unison and trotted away. Zheng Renyu took Guo Wei's wine cup and took a sip lightly, and then handed the unused empty cup in front of him to Guo Wei with one hand, "The wine is not very good! Let's both drink less tonight and rinse our mouths. Wait until you return to Bianliang one day, and then find a chance to have a good time. ”
"When I return to Bianliang one day, I will hold a banquet at home to entertain my eldest brother!" Guo Wei knew that Zheng Renzhi was changing his way to persuade himself not to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, so he smiled and agreed in a low voice.
"Eat!" Zheng Renzhi put down the wine cup, pointed to the dish on the incense table with chopsticks, and added with a smile, "Your soldiers didn't think about tea and rice when they saw you, so they went to the kitchen to find someone to make it." It's all things that you usually find smooth. I'm afraid that you'll be bored eating alone, so you made a special trip to invite me over to accompany you!"
"These boys, worry about everything!" Guo Wei heard this, and his heart warmed again. Laughing and raising his chopsticks, he challenged the cooked beef.
"Their future and net worth in this life are tied to you, don't you worry about it?!" Zheng Renzhi smiled and quietly led the conversation to the point, "Brother Wei and Xiufeng too, we people have long become grasshoppers on a rope." Therefore, although Xiufeng's words today are a little extreme, he is also wholeheartedly thinking about you!"
"I know!" mentioning what Wang Jun said in the afternoon, Guo Wei's eyes became a little gloomy again. Put down the chopsticks and reach for the wine cup again.
"There are some words that are not suitable for you to say, nor for me to say, although you and I have long been aware of it in our hearts!" Zheng Renyu raised the wine cup and touched it with him, tasting the mellow aroma of the wine, and added slowly and methodically, "Xiufeng said it today, although it was a little reckless, but it was also timely. At least, let everyone know what the little emperor's attitude is towards us. ”
"Yes, let Guo see it, what everyone thinks now!" Guo Wei suddenly smiled and sighed. On the neck burned red by the wine, the house finch tattoo fluttered its wings.
"...... you?" Zheng Renyu was taken aback, and looked at Guo Wei repeatedly with his eyes, as if he wanted to get to know this person again, "You have already made a decision in your heart?"
"No!" Guo Wei smiled again, his face full of bitterness, "But I can't wait to die! There is a large family behind me, something is really going to happen, and I don't know how many brothers will be implicated by me!"
"It's good that you can think so!" Zheng Renzhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, raised the wine cup, and drank it dry in one gulp. "I'm afraid that you won't make any preparations! Liu Chengyou is not a prince who can be assisted, since ancient times, few people who have been ministers who take care of their lives can end well. ”
Guo Wei also raised the wine cup and took a sip, then looked at the hollow pattern on the wine cup, and smiled bitterly, "I don't have much preparation, I'm not a fool, I won't close my eyes and wait for death." I'm just, just a little sad, back then, the emperor, I, and Chang Kegong once vowed to support each other and end the troubled times together. As a result, the troubled times have not yet ended, and the emperor has already gone west. Before the emperor went west, what he never forgot was to set a trap and put it on the neck of my old brother!"
"Yes, the five ministers who care for their lives will definitely not speak with one mouth forever, as long as there is a disagreement, there will be strong and weak. Then the weaker side naturally became an ally with the little emperor. Zheng Renyu grinned and sighed in response.
"Two privy envoys, each leading an army, one inside and one outside. The one who is afraid of the outside, the one who is afraid of the outside, no one dares to make a mistake. Guo Wei took another sip of wine and shook his head gently, "My old brother, my mind is really deep enough." I didn't know it before. It wasn't until I heard that the young master was suspicious of me that I finally figured out that in the eyes of my brother, I was the biggest threat to the Great Han Kingdom. ”
"He's the emperor!" Zheng Renyu added loudly, meaningful.
When a person becomes an emperor, he can no longer look at his words and deeds from a human perspective, let alone figure out his thoughts with a human mind. For thousands of years, this has been the case, and Liu Zhiyuan is naturally no exception.
"But I'm not!" Guo Wei's emotions suddenly became a little excited, and he put the wine cup on the incense table, and said loudly, "I always thought that the three of us could be Liu Guanzhang." Even if you can't live and die together, you won't wear iron armor under your burqa and a dagger around your waist when you meet. ”
This is the saddest thing for him so far, so many years of brotherhood, even if Liu Zhiyuan asks him to hand over his military power and go home to retire before he dies, he will not hesitate. However, the latter dug a huge trap for him, and then waited under the Nine Springs to see how he went to death step by step, and how his son bloodied the ministers step by step and regained power.
This is no longer just a doubt about his loyalty, but deep down, he has long been regarded as an enemy. But he, at that time, was still in a trance of grief for Liu Zhiyuan's death, and secretly swore that even if he fought to death, he would ensure that his old friend's son had no worries about the throne!
"Here, I don't care if it's you or not, but whether you have the ability to threaten other people's sons!" As a bystander, Zheng Renzhi saw it more clearly than Guo Wei, "Starting from Zhu Wen, the Son of Heaven is the one who is strong and strong. Seeing so many usurped thrones with his own eyes, it was difficult for Liu Zhiyuan to trust anyone anymore. ”
"But I have lived and died with him for so many years!" Knowing that Zheng Renzhi was telling the truth, Guo Wei was indignant in his heart. "In front of the two armies, we have blocked each other's knives countless times!"
"The problem is, he's about to die, and his son doesn't have any friendship with you. Moreover, he also knows what kind of character his son is!" Zheng Renhui took a sip of wine and slowly added.
This sentence finally made Guo Wei completely speechless. Hatefully picked up the chopsticks and ate the food in a big gulp. first swept away most of the food on the incense table, then poured another glass of wine and held it in his hand, and said very unceremoniously while tasting it slowly: "Indeed, I have no friendship with that kid Liu Chengyou, and I don't like him in my heart for poisoning my brother." I'm the Minister of Care, and if he wants to take back his authority, sooner or later he will have to get rid of me, an old thing that is in the way. I don't want to do anything about the abolition of the establishment, and I don't want to wait for death, big brother, do you have a good plan to teach me?"
"Hey?" Zheng Renzhi grinned at the problem thrown at him head-on. After a long time, he protested in a low voice: "I thought you had made some corresponding preparations? It turned out to be such a preparation method? I don't want to meet Liu Chengyou's soldiers, and I don't want to wash my neck and wait to be beheaded by the whole door, how can there be such a cheap minister in the world?"
"Isn't there still Zhuge Wuhou?" Guo Wei sighed and said a little scoundrelly. "Seriously, I don't want to kill, especially with my former colleagues. Sensei see that I am a military general, and I can't count the number of people I have slaughtered with my own hands in my life. But they were all killed on the battlefield, not tying people up first, and then cutting off their heads with a knife according to the previous crime. ”
"Zhuge Liang is tired to death!" Zheng Renzhi glanced at him, a little sad for his misfortune, and angry at him.
"After the death of Marquis Wu, there were still twenty-nine years of peace in Shu. Guo Wei suddenly became solemn, looked at Zheng Renzhi's eyes, and added in a deep voice.
"You...... Alas!" I didn't expect the other party to be so stubborn, Zheng Renzhi really wanted to brush his sleeves away. However, in the blink of an eye, he understood that it was precisely because of Guo Wei's stubbornness and kindness that he was willing to assist him, even if he often rejected his suggestions, he did not feel aggrieved.
"Big brother, do you have a good plan to teach me?" I don't want to ask Xiufeng about this, he is good at changing in the battle, but he is not good at seeking the long-term!" Guo Wei seemed to be convinced that Zheng Renzhi couldn't do anything about himself, smiled, and continued to ask.
"This ......" Zheng Renyu frowned and groaned for a long time, and suddenly shook his head again, showing a smile, "Then from now on, you will try to lead the troops outside." It doesn't matter if it's six out of Qishan, or if it's a pro-expedition to the Southern Barbarians, in short, don't keep letting Liu Chengyou see you. Don't let go of your military power for a moment. In this way, not only does he not dare to touch you and your family, but he also does not dare to add up to Shi Hongzhao and the others! Unless, unless he has become a madman, there is no reason left in his heart!"
