Chapter 118. The men of the merchants are all madmen
Because Lin Zixuan was injured and had difficulty moving, Shang Zeyi didn't know where to get a carriage and carried a few people to the Golden Building.
In addition to rescuing Shang Zeyi on this trip, Yang Luoyu and Nan Kemeng didn't find anything, so even Yang Luoyu's active temperament was dull and refused to speak along the way, just glaring at Lin Zixuan with an unhappy face.
She and Lin Zixuan were not on the right path, and the plan to kill Lin Zixuan failed this time, although she knew that the reason was that the other party was well prepared, and it was impossible to succeed without Lin Zixuan's obstruction, she still blamed Lin Zixuan for her anger.
Lin Zixuan still ignored Yang Luoyu with a plain face as always, but Shang Zeyi was a little angry that Yang Luoyu and the two of them were going to kill Lin Ziqi, and he asked Nan Kemeng and the two of them: "What do you two mean, knowing that Lin Ziqi can't die before leaving Shang Guo, you still deliberately want to take his life, and you don't care about what disaster it will cause to Shang Guo?"
Lin Ziqi laid the foreshadowing before he came to Shang Guo, and took the national fortunes of Qi and Shang as the hostage, which made Shang Zeyi constrained by him everywhere, not only could he not kill him, but even when others were unfavorable to him, he was forced to protect him thoroughly.
Therefore, when Lin Ziqi was in Shangguo, Shang Zeyi never thought of taking his life, who knew that although he had not moved the killing intent, he didn't expect that Yang Luoyu and Nan Kemeng didn't know when they discussed, and when a few people pursued Lin Ziqi to regain themselves, they also wanted to take Lin Ziqi's life by the way.
Fortunately, Lin Ziqi Chengfu had already laid an ambush, which did not let Nan Kemeng and the two succeed, otherwise Lin Ziqi would not have been able to return to Qi safely, and what Shang had to deal with next was to take Qi as the vanguard, and Dongli and Xizhao would pick up cheap merchants in the back.
Knowing that Shang Zeyi would have such a question, Nan Kemeng was not surprised, he looked at Shang Zeyi seriously and said: "I am from Xizhao, Yang Luoyu is from Dongli, why do you say we are?"
Nan Kemeng didn't hide it at all, and he didn't even make excuses.
It turned out to be for the benefit of their respective countries, Shang Zeyi had actually thought of it a long time ago, but he still lost his mind and said: "I thought we were friends. ”
"But Shang Guo is not our friend. Nan Kemeng replied naturally, obviously without thinking.
Shang Zeyi is a friend, but Shang Guo is not, so both Nan Kemeng and Yang Luoyu can see it very clearly, and they will not let go of the great opportunity to profit their country because of Shang Guo.
"Interests! It's the national interest again, when did you become such a boring person?" Shang Zeyi shook his head.
When I first met the two in White Deer City, both of them were high-spirited teenagers, and they were the first in the world with arrogance, what did the world's hegemony have to do with them, I didn't think that they would dissipate with time in a few years, and I don't know when they became the laymen they looked down on at first.
Nan Kemeng nodded in agreement, but he agreed: "Yes, it's boring." ”
Then there were no more words, Shang Zeyi felt that the atmosphere was dull, and from the carriage to the driving position of the carriage, he and Yao Wangjiang drove the carriage back to the Golden Building.
It took many days to return to the Golden Tower, and on the way, Yao Wang Jiang came to treat Lin Zixuan, and her wounds healed very quickly, and when she arrived at the Golden Tower, she was almost completely healed.
When they arrived at the Golden Tower, several people stopped moving and returned to Shang Zeyi's mansion, but Shang Zeyi entered the palace non-stop to see Shang Zerui.
Shang Zejin is treasonous, and he has the garrison map of White Deer City in his hand, which is not bad news for Shang Guo, Shang Zeyi failed to leave Shang Zejin, and such a big news must let Shang Zerui know as soon as possible to deal with it.
Shang Zerui is in the imperial study today, and the emperors of the Shang Kingdom have always been diligent in government, among which Shang Zerui and the previous Shang Emperor are the most, and they are annotating almost all the time every day, 365 days a year.
With the status of the royal family, Shang Zeyi entered the palace smoothly without reporting, and only when he arrived at the imperial study was stopped by the guards, and after the eunuch who was waiting for him went in to report, he was summoned by Shang Zerui before letting him in.
As always, Shang Zerui and Chang Si Jiao are inseparable from Meng, Shang Zerui in the imperial study is annotating and playing, but Chang Si is drunk and lying on the soft couch and drinking lazily, only when he encounters something that Shang Zerui is difficult to decide, he will ask Chang Si.
At this time, Chang Si will put down the wine bottle and share it for Shang Zerui, his suggestions are often in-depth and simple, but they are all pertinent comments, and it can be seen that Prime Minister Chang Si Buyi is the real material for governing the country, and using tricks in the dark is just one of his talents.
The monarch and the ministers were harmonious, and Shang Zeyi suddenly thought of these two words when he saw the two of them, and then he also thought of Shang Zejin and Hou Xiangjun.
As Shang Zejin's confidant, Hou Xiangjun died for him, what path will Chang Si take?
Shang Zeyi put away his thoughts, entered the imperial study and saw Shang Zerui, and after saluting, he went straight in, and reported: "I was calculated by Lin Ziqi, I didn't kill Shang Zejin, but let him make up his mind to go to Qi State." ”
Shang Zerui stopped his diligent pen when he heard this, he glanced at Shang Zeyi, and then at Chang Si, as if he already knew, paused and picked up the pen again, and said indifferently: "I didn't kill it, that's a pity." ”
"What do you think?" he asked Shang Zeyi.
was asked by Shang Zerui at once, Shang Zeyi didn't think about how to deal with it when he entered the palace, thinking that he would throw the burden to Shang Zerui after the report, who knew that Shang Zerui would ask him again.
He is afraid of trouble, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he quickly shirks it, and respectfully says: "Once the saint is in charge." ”
This is the first time that Shang Zeyi has called Shang Zerui a saint, listening to his unpinched demeanor and tone, Chang Si smiled "poof", and stabbed the comment: "Throw off a good burden." ”
Shang Zeyi glared at Chang Si, but the other party looked up and drank and ignored him at all, and directly ignored him, which made Shang Zeyi feel frustrated.
In the imperial study, Shang Zeyi and Chang Sijun were out of line, but Shang Zerui did not blame, he looked at Shang Zeyi and said, "I let you go back to White Deer City, what do you think?"
"Brother refuse!" Shang Ze thought about it and didn't want to refuse decisively.
He is a freedom-loving character, in the past, he wanted to leave the Golden Building and return to White Deer City quickly, but now it is different.
In the past, White Deer City was a symbol of freedom, and even if the army of the Shang Kingdom was stationed to assist in the defense later, it did not change the true character of the city.
Now it's different, Shang Zejin treason and return to Qi, in order to achieve the goal, he will inevitably present a defense map for Northern Qi, at that time White Deer City must be the first line of Qi troops, White Deer City has always been a place where soldiers must fight, and the world's strife will start from there.
A city is about to be in chaos, and now let Shang Zeyi return to White Deer City, not to let him be free, but to let him go to White Deer City to take on the responsibility of guarding the city.
After all, he is the city lord of White Deer City, this city is his city, no one can mobilize the entire city except him, Wang Zhaomo can't do it, and the general in the north of Shangguo Zhenbei can't.
Shang Zerui guessed that he would refuse directly, and said unhurriedly: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, think carefully about why you are willing to imprison Jinlou, now that the Qi State has the help of Shang Zejin, and the White Deer City is in trouble, can you be willing to see him conquered by the Qi State?"
"For hundreds of years, the Qi Kingdom has had a feud with White Deer City, and if they live in White Deer City, they will definitely not be as gentle as me. ”
"I don't fight uncertain battles, if I have to, the Zhenbei army will retreat to Beiliang. ”
Shang Zerui emphasized another sentence, the implication of his words is that if the Qi State directly takes White Deer City, he may withdraw from the army.
He used White Deer City as a threat to Shang Zeyi.
Shang Zeyi's face was cloudy when he heard this, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "One city does not allow two masters, and the Zhenbei Army will be under my control." ”
Now that Shang Zerui has broken the situation, for the safety of White Deer City, Shang Zeyi has no way not to go back, but he must negotiate the conditions before going back.
Without the assistance of the Zhenbei Army of the Shang State, Bailu City must not be able to defend it, so even if he can't hold the Zhenbei Army in his hands, at least he must let this army obediently obey him.
"Good. Faced with the conditions proposed by Shang Zeyi, Shang Zerui agreed without thinking about it.
With Shang Zerui's answer, Shang Zeyi didn't make any other requests, he turned around and left, and said at the same time: "I will leave the Golden Building tomorrow." ”
"The men in the business, all of them are crazy. ”
Shang Zeyi cursed before leaving.
