Chapter 280: The Game of the Heart (2)
Wang Xi's face was pale.
Zhao Ding continued: "Because you sold all your family's property for this official position, and because Zhou Xing suddenly lost power, and Zhou Shan ignored you, and even looked down on you, so you decided to take a risk.
But what you didn't expect was that this matter was actually targeted by the people of the Inner Government Division from the beginning, and as a result, the silver in your hand was not covered yet, and you entered here.
But even so, there is still a trace of luck in your heart.
Because the two princes of the royal family, King Xiangnan and King Qi Si, were involved, and the King of Xiangnan was the only heir of the old King Xiang, and he had a deep reason with His Majesty of the current dynasty.
As long as you bite the two of them to death and shift all the responsibility to them, unless Your Majesty really makes up your mind to take action against the king of Xiangnan regardless of the old feelings, even if you are punished, you will be sentenced to exile, and then rely on the power of the Zhou family.
For others, the path of exile is just a change of place for pleasure.
That's right, Lord Wang. ”
Zhao Ding sighed.
Wang Xi's face turned pale and looked at Zhao Ding in disbelief.
"I didn't, I was wronged."
Wang Xi said loudly, his hands hidden in his prison robes clenched tightly, and his palms were covered with cold sweat.
He panicked...
Zhao Ding, who had some interrogation experience in Youzhou, restrained the gentleness on his face, his face was expressionless, and there was a trace of indifference in his voice.
"Don't you wonder, why do I know so much? So clear? Because Zhou Xing has already confessed. ”
That's impossible....
Wang Xi's face changed, and there was a trace of extremely obvious panic in the depths of his eyes, but he still forced his composure, and still did not admit his guilt: "Lord Wang, the lower official has been wronged." ”
"Heh~~"
Zhao Ding snorted coldly, and looked coldly at Wang Xi who was kneeling on the ground: "Do you think that Zhou Xing must not betray you?" What is more unlikely to be a confession? ”
This sentence obviously does not have the slightest tone, nor does it carry the slightest emotion in it, but it is just such a sentence that makes Wang Xi's heart more and more hairy.
"Because you think that as long as you insist on the king of Xiangnan and the king of Qi Si, you will force His Majesty to back down, because you think that the old King Xiang has made great contributions to Sheji, and he is the younger brother of His Majesty, and after his death, there is only one son like the king of Xiangnan.
His Majesty, who wants to take care of the royal family, will definitely regress in this matter, turning big things into small things and small things. ”
Wang Xi lowered his head and did not speak.
But from the violently trembling figure, his heart at this moment has been revealed.
Zhao Ding was right again.
"In fact, you did expect it accurately, and you guessed it right, my father did give in, and he did have the intention of turning big things into small things, otherwise he wouldn't let this king deal with this matter."
Zhao Ding continued.
"Your Majesty really agreed?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Xi subconsciously raised his head and said, but soon lowered his head again, not daring to look at Zhao Ding.
Because he was wrong.
It's already a bit of a taste of three hundred taels of silver here.
"Yes, why don't you agree, wouldn't it be nice to die an insignificant petty official?"
"Insignificant petty officer?"
Wang Xi subconsciously muttered, but the next moment, his face changed instantly.
"I'm not done yet....."
Zhao Ding sneered, broke the last line of defense in Wang Xi's heart, and the next thing was to kill.
"Since ancient times, the royal family and the scholar clan have shared the world, and in this generation, although His Majesty does not want to, he also has to admit that it is easy to shake the mountain, but it is difficult to shake the Shi clan, especially against the entire Shi clan.
Since the founding of the Great Qian, the Zhou family has been the head of the Great Qianshi clan since the founding of the Great Qianshi, and it can even be called a gate valve.
Although Zhou Xing is not the head of the Zhou family, he is the eldest lord of the Zhou family's west house, and moving Zhou Xing will inevitably cause a backlash from the scholars, and this matter involves the king of Xiangnan and the king of Qi Si, and even more involved the imperial examination, as well as the reform this time.
It is impossible not to sacrifice one person to block the mouths of all the people in the world.
Since the king of Xiangnan, the king of Qi Si, and Zhou Xing are not easy to move, who is good to move?
It's you, naturally!
On the contrary, standing in Zhou Xing's position, since His Majesty has compromised, then the next step is to be exiled in order to protect you, you can't return to Yingtian in this life, and you can't enter the ancestral grave after death, or do you betray you in exchange for peace in the rest of your life?
Besides, at your expense, those who have not been found out can be saved.
A year later, two years later, a few years later, or even ten years later, there will be countless people like you Wang Xi who can saddle up for his Zhou family.
It's better than you say you're him, what would he do? ”
Wang Xi was stunned and knelt in place sluggishly.
looked at Zhao Ding with a blank look in his eyes.
He didn't expect that there were so many interests behind this, and he didn't expect His Majesty to compromise so quickly.
Looking at Zhao Ding, who was still looking at him with a smile in front of him, and then thinking back to what Zhao Ding said before, he actually had a sense of having nothing to hide, giving him a feeling that everything he did had been exposed to broad daylight.
A visceral sense of fear dominated his mind.
On his forehead, cold sweat slanted out like rain, and almost instantly, it had covered the entire face.
He was scared.
I'm really scared.
Especially his own position in Zhou Xing's heart is really as Zhao Ding said, a chess piece that can be discarded at will.
Compared with a Zhou family who is in the ascendant and can be called a Zhou valve, what is he a down-and-out child of a family?
If his ancestors were here, if the glory of his ancestors had not been targeted and suppressed because of the wrong standing of the court team several times, and he was still in the sky, he might not be afraid.
But the problem is that it came to his generation.
The most important military forces of the Wang family have long been carved up by the Lu Guogong line and the Wei Guogong line.
In this era, who will still remember his Wang family and remember him, the descendants of the Wang family?
"I have nothing to say, Zhou Xing has nothing to say, so he confessed to you, and by the way, he put all the responsibility on your head, and he also said, you Wang Xi is a down-and-out child, and you want to use the power of his Zhou family to rise to prominence, and you don't pee and look in the mirror.
Are you worthy of the Wang family?
You're just a dog he raised, you can use it when you need it, and when you don't need it, just throw it away.
Now is the time for your dedication. ”
Wang Xi's face was pale, and the more he listened to Zhao Ding's words, the more desperate the look on his face became, especially when he learned that Zhou Xing actually said this about him.
His face was even more frightened, without a trace of blood.
"Who Zhou Xing is, you know best."
Zhao Ding continued to say deliberately.
Who Zhou Xing is, he Zhao Ding doesn't know, but what he Zhao Ding knows is that a person who was born and stood in a place that most people can't touch in his life is basically impossible to empathize with people at the bottom.
So at this juncture, instead of giving up his glory and wealth in order to protect a person at the bottom, he will definitely choose to sell without hesitation!
