Wang Dao originally wanted to repair the relationship with King Langya, and then talk to him when the two of them recovered to you and me, and analyze the pros and cons of returning to Jiangbei and continuing to stay in Jiangnan, but he didn't expect Wang Dun's actions to be so fast and intense.

Director Wang changed his clothes and went to the palace, while thinking about what happened during this time in his heart.

As a court lieutenant, Liu Kui had already learned that a bad criminal case had occurred in a mansion, and he heard that Wang Dao's retainers had sent someone in and took away a seriously injured person.

He immediately noticed that something was unusual, and even brought someone to check it himself.

When he arrived at the private house, King Langya happened to be outside the palace gate, he looked up at the plaque, and then slowly entered.

King Langya saw him in a pavilion in the back garden, the pavilion was hung with straw mats, which could block the cold wind after being put down, as soon as he came, King Langya ordered someone to roll up the mat, and pushed the stove to his side, and said with a smile: "I know that you are afraid of the cold, but the house is really stuffy, I don't like to talk in the house, so let's bake the fire." ”

After Wang Dao tidied up his robe, he sat on the mat on the side.

Director Wang took the lead in bringing up the topic, "Liu Yueshi submitted an envoy and wanted to come over to meet the king, should the king?" ”

King Langya's hand to make tea, since the tea drinking habit in Jiangbei has been passed over, Jiangnan has been very popular, and even King Langya himself has unconsciously changed his eating habits.

Making tea can calm people's hearts, and they can think about many things through the cover of their movements, but they can exercise their minds again, and he couldn't help showing his dissatisfaction at this time, "I just received the letter, does the red dragon already know?" ”

Chilong is Director Wang's nickname, and there are few people who can call him like this, and King Langya is one of them, but he may not call Director Wang that way for a long time.

Director Wang's tense demeanor has been relaxed since he came in, he took off the disguise on his body, and lowered his shoulders and said: "Because it is a letter from Jiangbei and an official road, the letter is sent to the Thorn Mansion first, and then sent to the palace." ”

King Langya has a gentle temperament, if you stay with people for a long time, you can attract people's favor, and people can't help but let down their guard, of course Director Wang knows that he and King Langya are full of contradictions at this time, and the friendship is long gone.

But looking at the friend sitting opposite, Director Wang decided to tell him sincerely.

"Have you ever thought about it, why did Liu Yueshi come?"

King Langya: "It's probably also for the tax grain case, right?" ”

"Although the tax and grain case has not been conclusive, but what is the truth of the matter, everyone knows it, what Jiangbei wants has already been made clear, it is enough to have Lu Yushi and others here, why do you want to send Liu Yueshi over?"

King Langya frowned and was silent.

Wang Dao simply broke through: "I think he came to persuade the king to return to Luoyang." ”

King Langya's face changed.

Director Wang asked him directly, "If Liu Yueshi asks the king to return to Beijing or return to the Langya fiefdom, how will the king answer him?" ”

King Langya did not officially reverse the Great Jin, so he had no legitimate reason to refuse Liu Kun.

If he refuses, Zhao Hanzhang can crusade against him in the name of the little emperor, and Jiangbei and Jiangnan will still inevitably fight.

King Langya clenched his fists and said tentatively: "The emperor is young and was held hostage by Zhao Hanzhang, so that the power of the court has fallen, and the government is controlled by the Zhao family......

Director Wang lowered his eyes, covered the grief in his heart and said, "Jiangnan will definitely lose." ”

If he had said this two years ago, even a year ago, he would have seriously considered the feasibility, because it is better to believe in others than in himself.

He believes in himself even more, and Sima Rui, whom he personally selected.

But now......

Knowing that the road ahead will be defeated, he doesn't want to be the one who will bring disaster to the country and the people, but he can't say it, so he can only analyze the situation for King Langya: "Zhao Hanzhang is quite popular with the people, not to mention Yuzhou, that is, Sizhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, these places, because she personally led the troops to pacify, and lightly endowed the people with peace of mind, the people only know that there is Zhao Hanzhang, and they don't know the little emperor." ”

"In terms of military strength, Zhao Ming of Yuzhou, Zhao Ju of Yanzhou, Zhao Yong of Yongzhou, Zhao Kuan of Qingzhou, and Sun Linghui of Guangzhou are all members of the Zhao family, and these people will never betray Zhao Hanzhang," Wang Daodao: "In addition, it is Beigong Chun of Bingzhou and Zu Li of Jizhou." ”

"Beigong is pure and loyal, he will not help Zhao Hanzhang to rebel, but he will not send troops to respond to the king, Zhao Hanzhang put him in Bingzhou, that is, he absolutely trusts him, there is Xianbei in the country, even if Zhao Hanzhang is the emperor, he will not return to the army to rescue." Because in Beigong Chun's heart, guarding against foreign enemies must be much more important than quelling the rebellion against Zhao Hanzhang.

"As for Zu Ti," Director Wang shook his head and said, "He won't respond to the king." ”

In the early years, he couldn't wait to tear up the flag and oppose the Jin, but he didn't want to make this troubled world even more chaotic, so he endured the disgusting feeling of eating fly feces and ran for the country.

Therefore, he will definitely not help the so-called orthodox King Langya.

"There are only Shi Le from Youzhou and Li Xiong from Shudi left...... Wang Dao paused and said: "These two people can only be driven away by profit." ”

Other people can't be urged by interests, because they can give, and from Zhao Hanzhang, they get more.

Ke Shile and Li Xiong's profits.

King Langya took a deep breath and did not speak.

Director Wang couldn't help but be shocked by Zhao Hanzhang's layout, "But I don't know if she did it unintentionally or intentionally in this game." ”

Director Wang glanced up at King Langya and said: "If it is done unintentionally, then it is the destiny of heaven, if it is intentional, such a scheming and far-sighted person, with heavy military power, what do we use to fight her?" ”

Director Wang hinted: "Since Guo Pu fled to Luoyang, he has never gone out, and he has worked for Zhao Hanzhang in many hats. ”

King Langya's heart was hit by another arrow, if Guo Pu was here, he must shake his shoulder and ask, "Didn't you say that the destiny of heaven is in me?" Why did you flee to Luoyang and still work under Zhao Hanzhang? Why, why? ”

But at this moment, sitting opposite him was Wang Dao, who had been separated from him, he could only suppress the sourness and unwillingness in his heart, and asked Wang Dao in turn: "Will the Zhao family not be tempted by interests, and only choose Zhao Hanzhang alone, so can the red dragon be the same as before?" Or is it because the Judge is closer to you, and you have already chosen the Officer? ”

When Director Wang heard this, he couldn't help but walk around the low table between the two, knelt down beside him and grabbed his sleeve, and said sadly: "I am not capable, and the grand cause I once planned for you has not come to fruition, but my heart for you has never changed, I will never do such a rebellious thing, if Chu Zhong insists on doing it, I will expel him." ”

"Jingwen, most of the children of my Wang clan are in Jiankang City, if I am determined to rebel, how dare I leave them in the city?" Wang Dao's eyes were red, and he tugged on his sleeve tightly and said: "I won't hide it from you, I neglected political affairs, and after saying that I was sick at home, I was thinking about returning to Langya's hometown to go into hiding, and I would no longer go out, but the Jingzhou tax and grain case, I, I had to come out, I can't watch the war in Jiangnan and Jiangbei break out again." ”

"Jingwen, you and I used to hate this troubled world, and privately resented the Eight Kings for making trouble, so now, are we going to do the same thing as the Eight Kings?"
