Chapter 133: The King of Chi (II)
Hearing Du Chong's visit, Han Jun was quite surprised, but he didn't think too much about it, so he stood up.
"I'll go to meet Du Xiang, you guys should disperse first."
The hall full of high-ranking officials immediately stood up, stood with their hands down, and looked at the king of Chi.
Just as they were about to walk out of the door of the council hall, Han Jun suddenly stopped again, leaving a few words that were not salty or light, for them to go back and ponder.
"Sometimes it is counterproductive to be too spared, and you are all in a high position, so you should lead by example. Eat porridge every day, and after a long time, you can't swallow hard rice. ”
After saying this, Han Jun raised his legs and left, walked downstairs quickly, and walked out of the gate of the military headquarters to greet the Zaifu of the dynasty, who was known as being under the Sheng Kingdom.
Outside the dark gate of the military headquarters, there was a large and exaggerated sedan chair, which was Du Chong's iconic travel honor guard.
Sixteen large sedan chairs.
On either side of the sedan chair, eight strong men stood on each side, with their hands behind their backs, looking intently ahead.
As soon as Han Jun walked out of the gate, he didn't move. Standing on the top of the more than ten steps, looking at the sedan chair parked on the street, he didn't speak.
With his status as a one-word king, he is definitely not lower than Zai Fu, at least not worse than this Du Chong. So Han Jun didn't go down to greet him, but stood on the top of the steps and put on a master's posture.
Next to the sedan chair, an old man who looked like a butler, Seeing that the king had no intention of coming down, he leaned outside the curtain of the sedan chair and whispered something.
Of course, no matter how low his voice was, it was clear in the ears of Han Jun, a powerhouse in the Mountain Moving Realm.
What the old butler said was: "Master, Lord Chi Wang has come out and is waiting for you." ”
After a while, there was finally some movement in the sedan chair, and two handsome little scholars opened the blinds on the left and right, and then jumped down and stood on both sides of the sedan chair.
Da Sheng, dressed in a gorgeous robe, came out after a long time.
Du Chong's age was around fifty years old, and his complexion was excellent, he got rid of the support of the two handsome scholars, and walked up the stairs quickly towards Han Jun.
"Hahaha, Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time, and it's becoming more and more radiant."
When Han Jun saw Du Chong coming up, he couldn't be tense anymore, and he also walked down to greet him.
"Du Xiang seems to have lost some weight, and it seems that he has been worrying a lot these days."
"It's not that I'm troubled by those things in the East, I haven't slept well for several nights."
Hearing that Du Chong went straight to the point as soon as they met, a fine light flashed in Han Jun's eyes.
The two stood hand in hand under the plaque of the military department, and there was another greeting.
"Why is Lord Zaifu free today and has time to inspect our military headquarters?"
"The prince laughed, you are in charge of the military department, where do you still need me to inspect. I'm here today for something I do want to tell you privately. Don't mention it, in order to find you, I ran five or six Qinglou, but I didn't expect to catch you in this most unlikely place. ”
Of course, Du Chong was joking, and Han Jun also laughed cooperatively, "Then in order to apologize, I have to ask Lord Zaifu to drink two cups." ”
"I'm not good at drinking, just prepare some good tea for me, lord."
"Hahaha, it's easy to say, let's go in and talk about it?"
"Please."
"Please."
In a remote hut in the military headquarters, the two sat opposite each other.
This is Han Jun's "reception room", the decoration is quaint, the space is private, not a real big person, and he is not qualified to step here.
In the middle of the two of them, there was a small incense burner, and Han Jun personally added a piece of priceless incense wood to it, and now it has begun to emit a faint fragrance.
"Lord Wang, I'm from Your Majesty."
Du Chong has every opportunity, and the twists and turns from all over the country float onto his desk like snowflakes every day, so he has also developed the habit of getting straight to the point, not dragging mud and water, and wasting time.
Han Jun thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, how is his health?" ”
Du Chong sighed, "I have a little cough, it should be because of the recent incident." ”
"Because of the East?"
"Of course, if you look at the two people who died, Gu Qingshan has always been a capable minister that His Majesty values very much, and he has high expectations for him. And what about Si Tao? Deputy Commander of the Ouchi Guard, Master of the Nine Realms, how hard his death hit us, Lord Wang, you should know better than me. ”
Han Jun nodded, his brows furrowed.
Du Chong saw that King Chi stopped talking, but he didn't let him go, and asked: "Lord, what do you think of this incident in the east?" ”
Han Jun thought for a while, stood up, took the secret piece that Gu Qingshan handed over to the military department, and handed it to Du Chong.
"If Lord Zaifu asks me, then I will say one word, the death of Gu and Si, Zhou Shikai will definitely not be able to get rid of it."
Du Chong didn't show any overreaction, as if Han Jun's words had long been expected by him, but he just looked down at the secret music.
After a while, he looked up, closed the file, and set it aside.
"Since the prince is so honest, then I will also share a piece of information with you."
"Oh? Lord Zaisuke, please speak. ”
"According to reliable sources, King Xiao Ming is not dead, and is now being secretly detained by the Liang Army somewhere in Dachong Pass, and is being closely supervised."
Han Jun suddenly became interested, "In other words, Zhou Shikai is very likely to have reached some kind of tacit understanding with Liang Jun, or even a deal?" ”
Du Chong smiled: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. ”
"Then dare to ask Lord Zaisuke, you came to me today...... Is it what I need to do? ”
"Now that the two parties are facing each other for the sake of the successor in the Liang Army, it is a good time for us to reap the benefits, and we must not miss it. I would like to ask you to go to the east and urge the eastern army to regroup and start a new battle with the Liang army. ”
Du Chong's speech was straightforward, and it really deserved its reputation, and even Han Jun had to digest it for a while.
Before he could speak, Du Chong said another sentence.
"If someone has bad intentions and dares to obstruct the battle and affect the overall situation of our country, then at the critical moment, the prince can also cut it first and then set things right."
The subtext of these words is that he gave Han Jun a Shang Fang sword, which can't kill the faint monarch at the top, but can kill the ministers at the bottom.
King Chi, who has always been incompatible with King Ming, finally got excited.
"Lord Zaisuke, may I ask what you mean, or is this what Your Majesty means?"
"This little thing, where is the need to alarm Your Majesty? I, Du Chong, can make a decision. ”
Han Jun, who has always regarded himself very highly, was shocked by Du Chong's words and broke out a few drops of cold sweat.
Zhou Shikai, the hereditary king of Shengguo, his life and death were decided by Du Chong in a word?
And what about him, the king of Chi?
Seeing that Han Jun didn't speak, Du Chong immediately asked, "What does the prince think?" ”
Han Jun was silent for a long time, and finally replied: "Okay, but I need time to prepare, the Chi Wang Army must accompany me, otherwise even if I go to the eastern border, there is no way to take the right to speak from Zhou Shikai." ”
"This is natural, the 100,000 elites of the Chi Wang Army can all go east with the prince."
"Okay, I promise."
"Hahaha, then I wish the prince a victory, a big break in the Liang army, and an early recovery of the East Heavenly Gate."
