Talking about Wei Wu's death, Zhao Bohu was also in a heavy mood: "No one can predict this, and you don't need to blame yourself." After all, your errand was originally sent by the Marquis of Wei, and the death of the Weiwu is not your responsibility. ”

Obviously, such words of consolation had no effect on Kui Duoyou, he couldn't hold back the resentment in his heart, "snapped" and tapped the table, and said angrily: "Zhou Gongding, this old thief, just for his own face, has to kill Wei Wu's life?" What's in it for him? ”

"Benefits?" Zhao Bohu smiled coldly: "There are two benefits. The twelve wizards that the king killed in a row before were all recommended by him, and now he also failed to summon the soul, if the king alone pardoned the witch, then where would he put Zhou Gongding's face? This is one. These two can show the whole world that he Zhou Gongding is still the minister of the king of Zhou, so that his henchmen, especially the princes who are married to his family, can rest assured that the power of his Zhou duke is still standing, so that they can rest assured that they will continue to support him. ”

"But no one in the world knows about the queen's death, and it has nothing to do with him, Duke Zhou, and the king also knows it. Why be so lenient with him? Kui Duoyou was very puzzled: "The king is so sorry for the queen, and he does not hesitate to give the palace concubines one after another, and he can't even take care of the face of the prince and princess." But why is it just open to the old horseman? ”

Zhao Bohu sighed lightly, took a sip of wine, and said indifferently: "This is the emperor's technique." I have been on discord with the Duke of Zhou for a long time, and after the king ascended the throne, although he knew that Ji Ding was the confidant of the first filial piety king, he still let him worship his original position. Do you know why? ”

Kui Duoyou thought for a while, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could it be that ------ is to balance you?" "Wouldn't it?

Zhao Bohu raised his eyes and looked at his friend, his eyes were full of appreciation: "Not bad." If I had a close relationship with the Duke of Zhou, the king might not be happy in his heart. Only this kind of mutual containment is the most conducive to the king's situation. Although in terms of his heart, the king trusts me more, but ------" he bit his lip: "Maybe in his eyes, I am more like the prince's person, so I ------" The following words, he didn't dare to say it, and if he continued, it would be suspected of provoking the relationship between King Zhou's father and son.

When Kui Duoyou heard this, he didn't know what to say, so he continued to listen to Zhao Bohu's narration silently: "The king is the co-lord of the world, the family and the country are one, and his family affairs are the official affairs of the people of the world. There is only one thing that the king likes, and that is 'power', the kingship of the co-lord of the world. We are courtiers, but we are just weapons in the hands of kings, and we can use them but we can't have any schemes. Once the king is suspicious, once the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, it will be jealous of the king. ”

"Therefore," he poured another duke for Kui Duoyou: "The biggest black hole in this world is the government." It can devour all good things, such as youth, friendship, ideals, family affection------ or thousands of living beings in the world. Duoyou, as the secretary of the royal family, I bow down to myself every day, like walking on thin ice. I don't dare to be self-dictated in everything, I don't dare to disobey my orders, my success is to be returned to the Lord, and my failure is more than my own body------ how I don't want to seek justice for the queen. But Ji Dingshi is the Shangqing, the forces are intertwined, and the whole body is affected by one hair, plus King Zhou's mind is unpredictable, I am also helpless! ”

After he said this, he seemed to be much more relaxed, and to be honest, these words were not good for anyone, and he had held them in his heart for too long.

Kui Duoyou was nervous: "Zimu, can't you jump out of this black hole if you ------?" Stay away from it all, can't you? ”

Looking at his eager eyes, Zhao Bohu's heart moved, jumped out of all these troubles, found a paradise with beautiful mountains and rivers, lived in seclusion with his wife and children, and lived next to many friends. You don't have to worry about the government and politicians, you don't have to figure out the emperor's thoughts, what a beautiful day it was! But ------ can't!

Zhao Bohu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Then I can only think about it, I promised the queen to support the prince and raise the fourth prince to adulthood." What's more, the Zhao family has been the minister for generations, the family is prosperous, this clan, the people of the world, and the queen's deathbed instructions, I can only bear it on my shoulders. ”

Kui Duoyou lowered his eyelids: "I'm just talking." ”

Zhao Bohu saw that he was sad, and he also wanted to divert the topic: "I also envy you for being free and easy, and if you feel unhappy, you can go back to the grassland to relax." How? How can you be willing to come back this time? I'm going to herd horses and sheep for the rest of your life! ”

Kui Duoyou raised his eyes and glanced at him, smacked his lips a few times, and finally didn't have time to say anything. Because at this time, there was an unhurried sound in the market, accompanied by the shouting of the long tone, and something was vaguely heard: "------ Zhou Gong ------ rebel prince Ji Hui ------ the head ------"

Zhao Bohu made a look, and a guard in the corner of the wall understood, and went out. The guy came with a plate of roasted plum carp, and Kui Duoyou beckoned to Zhao Bohu to taste it, and couldn't wait to ask the guy what was going on outside.

When the guy saw Zhao Bohu's graceful demeanor and luxurious clothes, and saw Kui Duoyou's demeanor, as if they were all people with a way, he didn't dare to offend. Hurriedly squeezed out a flattering smile and said: "It is said that the retainer of the Duke of Zhou's Mansion has just returned from Linzi, the capital of Qi, and brought back the head of the reverse prince Ji Hui, and is now hanging on the roof pole of the car to show the public!" It is said that Duke Zhou has made a great contribution to the king! ”

Zhao Bohu tasted a basket of scorching carp meat, and immediately praised it, and the guy was also full of red light, so he hurried down to side dishes. Kui Duoyou said in a low voice: "You're not in a hurry? The old thief's behavior made everyone in the pickaxe capital known, and it would be difficult for the king to find him again in the future. ”

"It's not hard to guess what you think." Zhao Bohu smiled and put a spoonful of fish meat into his bowl: "Your favorite plum blossom carp, the flavor of your hometown, why don't you taste it?" However, it is also a good thing for him to do this, finally for the Zhou royal family and to remove a hidden danger for the crown prince, so why not do it? ”

Kui Duoyou pressed down and chewed a piece of fish meat in his mouth, and sure enough, a smell of grass and wildflowers overflowed from between his lips and teeth. His spirits suddenly lifted, and after a few sips of wine, he was in a daze, as if he was at the foot of Yin Mountain again, the snow that does not melt all year round, the rolling green waves, and the lingering fog, looming, if it is about to leave, gradually emerging and in front of him------ although it is far away, it is extremely clear. Why did you leave such a beautiful grassland and come to this land of right and wrong? He was a little confused.
