Chapter 19: Where is Zhong Lixi?
Zhang Liang sighed silently, "The matter has come to this, and Madam still has to think about it in the long run." ”
"I don't want to watch Ying'er die, and I don't want to watch Lu Yuan be casually sent away and married off in the future.
This time, I must save my children......"
Incoherently, she suddenly thought of the little princess in swaddling clothes nine hundred years later.
It is said in the world that the vicious Wu Zhaoyi did not hesitate to strangle her own daughter in order to ascend to the throne to blame the queen and queen, but only she understands in her heart how ridiculous this slander is, not only to belittle her humanity, but also to despise her wisdom.
There are thousands of ways to ascend to the throne, and there is no honor in the world, and it is worth sacrificing her child's life in exchange.
"The old minister understands that the lady does not need to say much. It's just that right now, Madame will be out? ”
Lu Pheasant lowered his head, but felt that his eyes were faintly hot, and he felt like he was wandering for a moment, and he didn't know if he should lower his body, be a little low, and beg Liu Ji to change his mind.
But the helpless mood was fleeting, she took a few deep breaths, and when she raised her head again, she had a vague countermeasure,
"I won't go to Liu Ji, if I talk about petting and rewarding, I can't compare to Qi Ji, not only in vain, but also making people laugh.
I plan to take advantage of the presence of the heroes and generals, show my face, and lobby one by one. ”
Zhang Liang shook his head again and again, as if he had expected her step,
"The old minister thinks that the lady should not have too much contact with the elders at this time.
You are on the cusp of the storm, every move is eye-catching, and it will be spread out but a crime that is connected everywhere, giving people a handle.
If His Majesty learns about it, it seems that Mrs. is eager for quick success and selfishness, but the gains outweigh the losses.
Well, with the old minister's understanding of them, those who plan to fight for their wife, even if their wife doesn't say it, they will inevitably fight, but they don't have to work hard. ”
"Yes, what Brother Zhang said is extremely true, but I didn't think it through. I must not stand up for myself for the position of queen. Lu Pheasant had an epiphany, he was in a hurry for a while, and almost made a big mistake.
You must know that the Liu dynasty was founded, the foundation was not stable, and there were several kings with different surnames who were eyeing each other sleeping soundly, and the new emperor Liu Ji was the master of Xiongchai, and he was particularly sensitive to the division of power, so this posterior position could only be given by him, but it could not be snatched by Lu Pheasant.
Zhang Liang said again, "I'm worried that Your Majesty is afraid that His Majesty has already prepared for the exhortations of the elders, and it is not enough for this group ......of people to speak for you."
"It's really not enough," Lu Pheasant chewed these words carefully, and suddenly a thought came to his heart, and his eyes were full of light,
"Maybe I can go to Han Xin and ask him for help."
"Madame thinks that to this day, Your Majesty will still listen to Han Xin?"
Lu Pheasant laughed,
"Brother Zhang, I'm just a little flustered, not crazy.
Naturally, His Majesty will not listen to Han Xin's opinion, or will listen to Han Xin's words in the opposite direction. ”
"Well, this is a risky move, Madame needs to be prepared, and she can't trade with him empty-handed."
"Don't worry, I probably have something in my hand that he will be willing to help me."
Zhang Liang narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth returned to a smile,
"That old minister is here, I wish my queen of the Han Dynasty, turn evil into good fortune, and become auspicious in trouble."
Lu Pheasant bowed down and bowed to him,
"Even if you are crushed and your bones are broken, it is difficult to repay Brother Zhang for saving him today."
"Madame tormented me, but the old minister actually didn't say anything."
***
The chip in Lu Pheasant's hand was the whereabouts of Chu General Zhong Lixuan.
Zhong Liwei was a fierce general under Xiang Yu, and he defeated the Han army that was pursuing triumphantly all the way during the Battle of Guling, trapping Liu Ji in Yangxia City, forcing him to cut his flesh painfully, and rewarded Han Xin and Peng Yue heavily in exchange for the two of them to travel thousands of miles to help.
Therefore, Liu Ji's hatred for Zhong Liwei can be said to be deep in the bone marrow, not only because of the shame of defeat, but also because he was forced to tear the ground in front of the battle and seal the king, so that his original land distribution plan was completely disrupted.
After the battle of Qixia, when cleaning the battlefield, he went up and down to the Yellow Spring, searching for Zhong Liwei's body, but he never found anything, he gritted his teeth in anger and jumped like thunder.
Liu Ji didn't know where Zhong Liyuan was, but Lu Pheasant, who was reincarnated, knew everything about it.
According to the historical materials she read nine hundred years later, Zhong Liwei successfully escaped from the chaos and hid in Yilu Township, Donghai County, his hometown.
After entering the Han Dynasty, Han Xin was named the king of Chu, and Yilu Township became a territory under the jurisdiction of the Chu State.
is obviously an invincible opponent on the battlefield, why did Han Xin finally take in Zhong Lixuan?
Because Han Xin is Zhong Lihuan's old friend.
Seven years ago, Zhong Liwei, a descendant of the former Zhongli nobles from Jiujiang, and Han Xin, a descendant of the former Korean aristocracy, joined the anti-Qin army almost at the same time.
The two majestic young men were of the same age, and they were both old nobles, so they sympathized with each other, and they became friends at first sight.
The cloud is from the dragon, the wind is from the tiger, the situation is changing rapidly, Han Xin finally returned to the Han and became the fiercest god of war in the Han army, while Zhong Liwei always stayed in the Chu camp and was very valued by Xiang Yu.
Therefore, Zhong Lixuan, who was desperate after the defeat, chose to defect to Han Xin, the king of Chu, and out of years of friendship, Han Xin also chose to secretly take him in.
In the previous life, when Lu Pheasant first read this story, he secretly wondered, how did a famous general fly in front of everyone's eyes from the corpse-strewn defeat outside the city?
She strongly suspected that as early as the battle of Qixia, Han Xin had opened up to this old friend and helped him escape;
This fully explains why Zhong Liwei did not hesitate to venture to find Han Xin again and ask him for shelter.
Because, Zhong Liwei firmly believes that the old friend who saved him once will definitely help him again.
It's a pity that there are historical records, this time Zhong Lihuan mistook Han Xin, the East Window incident happened, and the furious Liu Ji ordered Han Xin to hand over Zhong Lihuan, and Han Xin hesitated again and again, and finally took the initiative to present Zhong Lihuan's head in order to protect himself.
***
Don't think about it for the time being, Lu Pheasant concentrated, planning to make a desperate bet, make a seven-point guess into a twelve-point grasp, and use Han Xin's mentality of a frightened bird to deceive him.
In the face of Lu Pheasant's late-night visit, Han Xinben was a little absent-minded, guessing that it was mostly because of the queen's affairs;
He made up his mind early on that he was already suspicious of Liu Ji, and he should not talk too much about this matter, and it was best to follow the emperor's wishes.
Who knows, when Lu Pheasant gently spit out the three words "Zhong Lixi", the preconceived words of pre-designation were completely forgotten in an instant, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"This, this, Queen, how do you know—"
Seeing Han Xin's miserable face, Lu Pheasant's heart was relieved, knowing that he had guessed correctly, so he forced the surprise, and continued to ask quietly,
"I have my own secrets.
Han Xin, you are so bold that you dare to let go of Your Majesty's enemies, what do you want? ”
"Zhong Liwei and I have known each other for nearly 20 years, and he came to beg me privately, and I really couldn't bear it......"
"Your Majesty is already suspicious of you, if you add this matter, I don't think you can even keep the position of the king of Chu."
"I'm really confused for a while, I'll go to Your Majesty to explain the reason, I'll take the blame, I ......"
"How are you going to do it? Would you have dedicated Zhong Lixi's head to Your Majesty? ”
The god of war in front of him leaned on the wooden table suddenly, his brows were tightly locked, his face was blue and white for a while, thinking that he was fighting a fierce battle between heaven and man in his heart, and he was extremely confused.
Lu Pheasant sighed in his heart, everyone has weaknesses, and Han Xin was defeated by this indecision and indecision.
She is really a love talent, and she is the most reluctant to see the hero in her life, so she simply stopped torturing him, and said directly,
"Your Majesty, I don't know about this yet."
