Chapter Ninety-Five: Can We Trust Him?

Zuo Liangyu listened to the conversation between the two, and the whole person was stunned.

What? What happened? Where is the King of Chu?

Zuo Liangyu was confused, a little unable to keep up with the rhythm of the two, how could he do it to the King of Chu while chatting?

Who is the King of Chu, that is the king of the Ming Dynasty, the direct bloodline of the great grandfather.

For these vassal kings, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were very tolerant, even Chongzhen was no exception, so except for the anti-thief, no one dared to fight these vassal kings.

As for Zuo Liangyu, there are no exceptions.

He didn't even dare to move the squire with a slight background now, let alone the King of Chu.

In his opinion, the King of Chu belongs to the royal family, and if he really wants to move the King of Chu, it is basically no different from a rebellion, so let alone moving, he didn't even dare to think about it.

But at this moment, these two people are actually talking in front of themselves about how to deal with the King of Chu, who is arrogant and domineering, and supports the army and respects himself?

Zuo Liangyu felt that this world was too magical for a while, and he couldn't understand it a little.

But Hou Sui didn't mean to explain to Zuo Liangyu at all, but stared at Ding Xiu tightly.

If there was no emperor's edict, he would not have moved a finger of King Chu if Ding Xiu said that the sky was falling.

After all, no one knows Chongzhen's mean and unkind character better than him.

In case he really does something to the King of Chu, if something goes wrong in the future, Chongzhen will definitely push him out and take the blame.

At that time, if he doesn't get it, he will have to be beheaded all over the house, such a big risk, Hou Sui really doesn't dare to take it.

"There is a will."

Ding Xiu nodded slowly, and then took out the second secret decree from his arms.

However, he did not hand it directly to Hou Sui, but held it in his hand and let Hou Sui take a look, and after Hou Sui read it, he quickly took the holy decree back, and then carefully put it away.

"The First Evolution"

And Hou Sui seemed to be very frightened after reading the secret decree, and the whole person's expression was a little sluggish, and he didn't even care about Ding Xiu taking back the secret decree.

"Your Majesty's ruthless methods, even ......"

Thinking of this, Hou Sui suddenly remembered that Ding Xiu was still in front of him, so he immediately stopped his thoughts, then looked at Ding Xiu, and said, "Since you entered the camp alone, you must have made all the plans. ”

"Ding Qianhu, what do you want to do, just open your mouth, the old man promises, there is no other word."

The vassal king is the biggest tumor in the Ming Dynasty, as long as a scholar with a little insight knows this, Hou Sui is naturally no exception.

It's just that this world is the world of the Zhu family, and these vassal kings who are powerful and prosperous are all members of the Zhu family, so as long as the one above does not agree, no one can touch these vassal kings.

Now, Lao Zhu actually wants to move these vassal kings with an iron heart to dig up the sores of the clan and make up for the flesh of the people, how could he not support it.

Looking at the excited Hou Sui, Ding Xiu was not surprised, because when he first heard Lao Zhu talk about this, he and Pei Lun were also very excited.

What really surprised him was that Hou Sui didn't ask Zuo Liangyu at all, and directly took care of everything.

Ding Xiu, who had some doubts in his heart, glanced at Zuo Liangyu sideways, frowned slightly, and said, "Master Inspector, General Zuo must agree to this matter, right?" ”

"If he dares to disagree, you will cut him directly."

Hou Sui, the governor who risked death to work with Wei Zhongxian for half his life in the early years, finally showed a trace of hideousness at this moment.

He glanced at Zuo Liangyu, and then said, "With me, he can't turn the sky upside down." ”

Zuo Liangyu was promoted by him from a domestic servant, although now he is full-fledged, and even the order of the imperial court can be shirked, but this does not mean that he Hou Xianzhen has no choice but to take Zuo Liangyu.

Among the generals under Zuo Liangyu's command, many of them are his old subordinates, and he really wants to cut Zuo Liangyu, with his identity as a supervisor and the old boss of those people, although the army will suffer huge losses, he is not without a way to end up.

And this is precisely because he is confident that when Zuo Liangyu really has two hearts, he will kill Zuo Liangyu's capital.

“……”

Zuo Liangyu glanced at the big brother who threatened to kill him, and he didn't have too much anger in his heart, but he was a little helpless, "Supervisor, others don't understand me, don't you know me?" ”

"As long as it's a decision you make, when have I ever dared to oppose it."

"Just ......"

Zuo Liangyu, who is usually extremely unruly, and Zuo Liangyu, who was not afraid of the knife on his neck just now, had a slightly worried expression on his face for the first time at this time, "What do you want to do?" Do you really plan to move the king of Chu? Is it what Your Majesty means? ”

Is this thing reliable, when did Chongzhen become so tough, don't look back and push them out as substitutes for the dead ghosts.

"It's not that we want to move the King of Chu, but that Ma Shixiu wants to move the King of Chu."

Ding Xiu glanced at the attitude of the two, and no longer concealed it, and said directly: "Ma Shixiu colluded with Li Zicheng, coveted the wealth of the King of Chu, and led troops to besiege the palace of the King of Chu. ”

"After the supervisor and General Zuo noticed this, they immediately dispatched troops to annihilate the traitor Ma Shixiu.

After Ding Xiu finished saying this, he glanced at the two of them and said, "What do the two adults think?" ”

“……”

Zuo Liangyu was a little speechless in his heart, what did he think? He didn't think so.

It's not obvious to cover your ears and steal the bell, let Ma Shixiu do it, and then kill Ma Shixiu, as long as others are not stupid, you can see that this matter was instructed by him Zuo Liangyu.

There is really going to be something wrong with this, and he will be the one who bears the blame at that time, and he will definitely not want to do such a risky thing.

It's just that he just wanted to shake his head and refuse Ding Xiu's proposal, but Hou Sui suddenly said, "I think, it's okay!" ”

"Huh?"

Zuo Liangyu, who was suddenly backstabbed by his old boss, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at Hou Sui in surprise.

But Hou Sui ignored him, he pondered carefully for a moment, and felt that Ding Xiu's proposal was very good.

On the one hand, he directly took the opportunity to destroy Ma Shixiu and his descendants, and there would be no such great resistance to rectifying military discipline at that time.

On the one hand, with Ma Shixiu supporting in front, even if this is to cover their ears and steal the bell, they have an excuse not to.

As for saying that he might be directly pushed out by the emperor to take the blame, Hou Sui thought about it seriously and felt that judging from Lao Zhu's performance during this time, this probability was very small.

After all, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were cut by Lao Zhu in half, which shows how ruthless Lao Zhu is now, who dares to put pressure on him because of this.

What's more, Ding Xiu, who worked for Lao Zhu, killed so many ministers in the palace, and the ministers of the DPRK and China must have been impeached more than once.

But Ding Xiu not only did not have anything happen at this time, but rose from 100 households to 1,000 households, which is enough to prove that Lao Zhu will not cross the river and tear down the bridge.

What's more, these vassal kings are all rich and rival countries, if the king of Chu is really solved, then the wealth in the palace of the king of Chu is definitely enough to support the military expenses of the army.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Hou Sui felt that even if this thing was a bit risky, it could still be done.

"Supervisor ......"

Zuo Liangyu was a little anxious, and just when he wanted to say something, he was directly interrupted by Hou Sui.

"If this matter is successful, your military salary will be paid, and no one will stop you from rectifying military discipline."

Hou Sui stared at Zuo Liangyu and said: "Although this matter is a bit risky, it can be solved once and for all, which can not only rectify military discipline, but also have sufficient military salaries. ”

"Moreover, you don't have a choice, either let Ma Shixiu do it, or you can do it yourself, and you will answer after you think about it."

Hearing Hou Sui say this, Zuo Liangyu also reacted.

This thing is said to be a choice for him, but in fact, he has no choice at all, on Ma Shixiu, he can still have an excuse, and he can expect the emperor to protect him.

Just like Hou Sui said, if Ma Shixiu is killed, although his army will have some losses, there will definitely be less resistance to rectifying military discipline.

And if he doesn't agree, even if he can hide it from Ding Xiu and Hou Sui, the only way left for him is to rebel with Li Zicheng.

But many of the generals under his command are Hou Sui's old subordinates, even if in addition to those people, it is difficult to say how many people are willing to rebel with him.

If he really doesn't have any soldiers in his hands, what can he do if he defects to Li Zicheng at that time.

Zuo Liangyu was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "I know, Supervisor." ”

"I'll let Ma Shixiu do it."

After agreeing, Zuo Liangyu looked at Ding Xiu and said, "But I have a question, the officials of Wuchang will not let us enter the city easily, I can't let Ma Shixiu attack Wuchang, right?" ”

"General Zuo doesn't have to worry about this matter."

Ding Xiu had already prepared for this matter, and he said directly: "As long as General Zuo leads the troops to Wuchang, it will be fine, and the rest of the things will be done by humility to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

"That's fine."

Zuo Liangyu nodded, then looked at Ding Xiu, and said with a little mockery: "Then these days, is Ding Qianhu going to follow General Ben day and night?" ”

"That's not necessary."

Ding Xiu didn't care about the ridicule in Zuo Liangyu's tone, and said, "Just wait for the general in Wuchang." ”

Since Zuo Liangyu has agreed, it doesn't matter whether he spies on Zuo Liangyu or not.

If Zuo Liangyu has the heart to turn against the water, in his military camp, even if he stares at him day and night, what is the use.

Anyway, His Majesty's attitude, he has clearly told Zuo Liangyu today, if Zuo Liangyu is really obsessed, there are too many opportunities to clean him up.

After saying this, Ding Xiu didn't stay any longer, and directly took the brocade guards who came with him and left Zuo Liangyu's big tent.

Zuo Liangyu, on the other hand, just looked at Ding Xiu's departing back and didn't say a word.

After the figure disappeared completely, he turned his head to look at Hou Sui and asked softly, "Brother, can we trust him?" ”

The person in Zuo Liangyu's mouth is not talking about Ding Xiu, the emperor behind Ding Xiu.

"As a courtier, what else can I do but believe in you?"

Hou Sui knew what Zuo Liangyu meant, first appeased, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty has the heart to make the country strong, and he has thunder means. ”

"First to get rid of the nobles, then to punish the redundant ministers, and now to turn the target to the vassal king, I believe that Your Majesty has definitely made up his mind."

"So, although what you did in the past was a little out of line, but now is the time to employ people, as long as you honestly obey orders, Your Majesty will definitely not do anything to you."

"But if you still want to disobey ...... yin?"

When Hou Sui said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued to speak: "You also saw the attitude of the Jinyi Wei Qianhu just now, that is the attitude of His Majesty. ”

"There is no room for turning this matter around, if you disobey, even I can't save you."
