Chapter 18: If Born Again

Zhao Gao's residence is very simple, with only tables and chairs and a large number of cases.

When he was not in the palace, what Zhao Gao often did was to make a cup of tea and sit by the window and read a book.

His life can be said to be not extravagant at all.

But in just a few years, all the ministers who heard his name were like facing the abyss.

Zhao Gao said: "Long Xiang, this time you go to the north, you must seize the opportunity." Give us all the military power in our hands. ”

Long Xiang soaked his back in cold sweat, knelt down and said, "Chen Long Xiang must follow Chitose's teachings. ”

"We won't beat around the bush with you. Your Majesty appreciates you, and it is a blessing for you. Well done, Your Majesty and I are both rewarded. If you don't do it well, your family will lose their heads with you. ”

"Got it?" Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes and said.

At this moment, where is he still a little submissive in front of Zhao Hai.

Long Xiang, who was taller and wider than Zhao, was as scared as a chicken at this time. Kneeling on the ground, cold sweat has already flowed to the ground.

"I really don't know how you will serve the people when you get to the north." Zhao Gao said.

"Another day, our tutor will teach you, how to be powerful, how to be a general."

"Let's go, don't stay long. so as not to be exposed. ”

"No."

Long Xiang crawled out as if he had just passed through a purgatory.

Zhao Gao shook his head.

This Long Xiang is a chess piece he planted under Liu Yuan's hands.

Liu Yuan thought that he was in control of Long Xiang, so he became the commander of the forbidden army in the palace. As everyone knows, Long Xiang is concerned about the cooperation between Zhao Gao and Liu Yuan every day.

But it's a pity that this person has a good mind in force, but he is too brave.

At this time, Long Xiang, the commander of the forbidden army, changed into ordinary palace guard clothes. Quietly came out of Zhao Gao's mansion. and returned to his own jurisdiction.

He thought that everything was done seamlessly, but he didn't know that there were several pairs of eyes watching him all the time.

The moment Long Xiang appeared from Zhao Gao's mansion, several secret letters had already been sent to the Black Ice Platform.

Long Xiang was completely unaware.

Quietly returned to his room, changed into his official uniform, and still did not sit down to take a sip of hot tea.

Kwai Jia, the envoy of the right prime minister, had already come to his room to remind: "Lord Liu Yuan, the right prime minister, has invited Lord Long to go to the mansion to talk. ”

Long Xiang said quietly: "I know, I'll come later." ”

The courtiers dared to blatantly meet with the chief of the guards in the palace, and such a thing would only occur during the period when Zhao Hai's predecessor was in power. for he had closed his eyes and ears.

It can be seen from this that Liu Yuan and others have elevated Zhao Hai's power and majesty to a certain extent.

Long Xiang had just come out of Zhao Gao's place, and he was about to face Liu Yuan, the right prime minister. He was a little worried.

After repeatedly tidying up your clothes and looking in the mirror to make sure you don't have any timidity. Long Xiang followed the messenger out of the door.

……

Liu Yuan's right prime minister's house.

Liu Neng angrily slammed the room full of valuable objects on the ground in his room.

Intense resentment, anger, and resentment welled up in his heart, making him unable to control himself.

"Why! Why could that irrelevant Long Xiang, who can only eat soft rice in the palace, snatch my place! ”

"The Great General of the Northern Expedition is mine! It's mine! No one deserves to be a general but me! Liu Neng scolded hysterically.

Liu Neng has been obese since he was a child, he is lazy to eat, and there is no way to kill the enemy.

In the martial Daqin folk style, he is the least popular type of person.

Therefore, even if you are the son of the prime minister, you have encountered a lot of sarcasm and cold reception. All this made him paranoid and obsessed with becoming a famous player in the field.

But there was no way for him to be like that, so his heart was full of contradictions for a long time.

This time, Liu Yuan personally promised him the position of generalissimo of the Northern Expedition and sat on the highest point of the general. It made a fire burn in his heart.

He never exercised, but he insisted on walking.

Now that the position of the general has become a deputy general, how can he be willing.

"Long Xiang! Long Xiang, you wait for me! I want your life! Liu Neng's face was full of resentment and hatred.

At this moment, Liu Yuan's prime minister's study, which was not far from his room. Long Xiang was standing respectfully.

Liu Yuan patted Long Xiang's shoulder cordially and smiled: "Long Xiang, it seems that I didn't promote you in vain. In the past few years in the palace, I have done a good job. ”

"It is also your ability to make Your Majesty appreciate you as the general of the Northern Expedition."

Although the words were good, the strong threat and irony in Liu Yuan's tone had already overflowed.

I'm not satisfied, you're doing things behind your back.

Long Xiang broke out in a cold sweat, and said: "Everything is thanks to the prime minister, and Long Xiang will never dare to forget it." ”

Liu Yuan turned around and sneered, and then said, "I don't dare to take your big hat." Everything you have is given to you by His Majesty, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

Long Xiang was silent, feeling aggrieved in his heart.

Originally, he was a double agent, on the one hand, he served as the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, helping Liu Yuan to monitor and listen to His Majesty.

On the other hand, he also has to act as a spy for Zhao Gao, reverse monitor Liu Yuan's situation, and risk his life to pass on information to Zhao Gao at any time.

The two bigwigs sandwiched him in the middle, and he was already living a very difficult life. The political struggle between such big people will cost their lives if they are not careful.

It's good now, Your Majesty doesn't add fuel to the fire because of the big deal, and directly throws over a general of the Northern Expedition like a child's play.

Who the hell wants to be the general of the Northern Expedition! That's a big deal to fight with the Huns, how dare you go with your death-scared character?

And since His Majesty made the will, I don't know how many ministers have come to extend an olive branch to him.

No, he can't afford to offend any of these people. If you don't refuse, there will be more cause and effect on your body, and that will be a dead end.

At this moment, he snatched Liu Yuan's son's meat, and Liu Yuan was not satisfied. Your Majesty, you really killed yourself.

Liu Yuan was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay, I tried to persuade Your Majesty to no avail." ”

"Your Majesty's attitude towards this has never been more resolute, it seems that you really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup you have given Your Majesty."

"The wood is done, and all that's left is for us to adjust. Liu Neng has no ink on his chest, and his personality does not know how to converge, I have spoiled him since he was a child. All the way to the north, you have to take care of him. ”

Long Xiang knelt down and said: "Minister, I must serve Young Master Liu Neng when he goes to the soup and fire, and serves before and after the saddle." ”

Liu Yuan nodded, and continued to explain some of the things he should do after going to the north. And let him go.

Long Xiang walked out of Liu Yuan's study as if he had been amnestied, wiping his sweat.

It's not easy to deal with today.

It's like a new life.
