Chapter 172: The Prince of Kunlun
"Husband, what a way~ I toast you for my wife. Lei Fang felt very face-saving, Zhao Kuangyin and Li Yu couldn't solve the problem, but her husband could easily solve it. Both of them are likely to die, but their husbands are sure to live.
"Admire, admire. ”
Zhao Kuangyin and Li Yu both felt a little ashamed, their methods were not bad, but they were indeed inferior to Fan Qian. In terms of intelligence and intelligence, Fan Zhen is really a first-class talent. It is no wonder that Liu Chengyou would let such a young person serve as the envoy of the Loyal Army.
Tianya looked back at Zhao Kuangyin very embarrassed and said, "I'm only 8 years old, what excuse are you looking for." ”
Li Yu said confidently: "I am blind. ”
"I ......" Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what to say, so he held his breath and said: "I'm not an official, it's a big deal to rebel against myself as the emperor, and if any minister makes a mistake in the future, I will test him with this question." ”
I didn't expect Fan Zhen to have such a good answer. Sure enough, sometimes a smart mind is better than a strong martial artist. If this kind of thing really happens, the person who can guarantee survival is also one in addition to Zongxin.
In the past, Zhao Kuangyin had always underestimated Fan Qian, but Zong Xin said that he had the order to be crowned king, so he didn't dare to underestimate him. But Zhao Kuangyin never understood why Zong Xin said that he had the order to be crowned king.
If you want to change to someone else, you must think that Zongxin can pinch and calculate, so you know Fan Zhen's fate in the future. But Zhao Kuangyin didn't believe it, he followed Zongxin for so long, and found that he was not able to pinch and calculate, but he could indeed predict the prophet sometimes. In Zhao Kuangyin's heart, this matter has always been very strange, maybe Zong Xin sometimes doesn't play well.
Today, Zhao Kuangyin finally understood why Zong Xin said this, Fan Zhen is by no means an ordinary scholar, his brain is very good and smart. As a courtier, Fan Zhen is definitely a very good candidate. Fan Zhen's character is not suitable for the emperor, but it is very suitable for being a courtier. If he is allowed to gain power, it will be like a right-hand man for an emperor.
So Zongxin said that he had the order to be crowned a king, and he was a prince all the way. Such a person is certainly qualified to become a great official, and he is a minister of the founding of the country. During his lifetime, he leaned towards the government and the opposition, and after his death, he was crowned king. Fan Zhen does have this quality and ability.
Even Li Yu admires Fan Zhen's wit, although this method is not elegant, but when faced with a life and death decision, who cares about elegance, as long as he can survive and do anything bad. Fan Zhen is a very good method, and I can hardly think of any better way.
Zong Xin said: "Amitabha, the poor monk is really not mistaken, Master Fan is a rare talent. I believe that in the future, there will be a day when locusts will soar, holding the power of the world's soldiers and horses, and one person will be above ten thousand people. ”
Lei Fang and Fan Zhen both knew very well that Zong Xin must have a reason for saying this. It is not yet known whether Fan Zhen has this opportunity, but Zongxin will definitely work hard to create such an opportunity for Fan Zhen. Who made Fan Zhen his brother-in-law? Of course, good things should be kept for their own people.
It's just that Zongxin's identity can't be made public, and it's a pity that it can't be disclosed. Otherwise, on the rivers and lakes, everyone knows that Fan Zhen is the brother-in-law of Master Zongxin, so they naturally have to take a high look. Even Liu Chengyou didn't dare to move Fan Zhen easily, you must know that Zongxin's power is too great......
So far, no one has dared to say that he can take down Yelu Deguang's head, and only a few people know about Zongxin's plan for the time being, and I believe that it will definitely succeed. Even if he moved to Li Shouzhen alone, people didn't dare to underestimate him, Li Shouzhen at that time was the person with the best chance to be the emperor, and Liu Chengyou didn't dare to speak loudly to him.
If people know that Zong Xin's father is Lei Hong, the son of the night sky, I am afraid that the rivers and lakes will tremble with fear when they hear the name Zong Xin from now on.
Dugu Xingyue poured wine for Zong Xin, Zong Xin drank a cup lightly, and immediately started eating. It is normal for people who practice martial arts to eat a lot of food, but they generally take care of their image and will not eat like a wolf or a tiger, but Zongxin does not have it at all, and he stuffs it into his mouth like a hungry ghost reincarnated. Zhao Kuangyin used to pay a little attention to his image, but later it was completely unnecessary, because Zong Xin's appearance when eating was worse than his own.
While eating, he suddenly walked up to Fan Zhen's side.
"My lord, the man sent another invitation. ”
Fan Zhen took a deep breath, and then waved his hand: "Take it down, I don't want to see this person." ”
"Master Fan, who sent the invitation? You don't even look at it. ”
Zong Xin knew that the person who could send the invitation to Fan Zhen must have a very high status, but Fan Zhen didn't look at this invitation, there must be a reason. And looking at Fan Zhen's face, he was very embarrassed, that is, he didn't want to offend this person, and he didn't want to get close to this person.
Fan Zhi said: "The master doesn't know, this person has a name in the rivers and lakes, and his name is 'Yan Kunlun', who is the son-in-law of the head of the Kunlun faction. The Kunlun faction will also be handed over to this person. But he also has another identity, which is the half-brother of the former emperor Liu Zhiyuan and the uncle of the current emperor Liu Chengyou. This person has a violent personality, a charlatan, and scolds his mother like a greeting. However, his martial arts are very high, it should be very high, and the insider is not his opponent. At this time, Yan Kunlun had no official position, only a throne, and the official did not need to go to the banquet, but he didn't want to offend this person. ”
Zong Xin thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Isn't it just going to the banquet? Are you afraid that he will poison the wine?"
Yan Kunlun wanted to entrap the official, but the official didn't want to send someone to serve the emperor alone. Today's imperial court is divided into three factions, one of which is headed by Guo Wei, this faction has the largest number of people, because General Guo is indeed a good general, and he is admirable, but anyone who has a trace of righteousness will be close to Guo, but Guo himself does not know that there are factional disputes in the court. One of the other two factions is headed by Yan Kunlun, all of whom are relatives of the emperor and the country, holding great power and supporting the army to consolidate their glory and wealth. The last faction was led by Liu Yan, the brother of the former emperor Liu Zhiyuan, who was different from Guo Wei in that he hoped that peace would be precious, and he was willing to use negotiation to resolve disputes rather than use force. ”
When Fan Zhen said this, everyone understood, it turned out that there were open and secret battles in the court. Guo Wei likes to use martial arts, whoever doesn't accept it will be served, who will let him be born as a military general, and he will not beat around the bush with a straight temper, and he doesn't have much ability except martial arts. Guo Wei can only use this method to resolve disputes.
However, this is a troubled time, and reasoning does not make sense in the first place. Everything is still based on martial arts, so Guo Wei's character makes others like it.
Liu Yan is a scholar, but in today's world, this kind of person is not taken seriously. The article is inferior to whom, interrupting his hands makes him unable to write an article. This is also the truth that Guo Wei has always believed in, violence is the only means to resolve disputes, if you give in this time, you will still give in next time, and in the end it will be too late to do it again when there is no way out.
Yan Kunlun did not have too high ideals, he only consolidated his power for pleasure. Because Yan Kunlun knew that he was a straw bag who only knew martial arts, he was a little smarter than Guo Wei. Since he can only do martial arts, he must rely on his strength to let himself enjoy this glory and wealth forever, so Yan Kunlun wants to gather a large number of officials to support him, and everyone takes care of each other to make his position stable, stable to the point that the emperor cannot shake it.
"No wonder Master Fan is reluctant to see Yan Kunlun...... But it's not an option to drag it out like this. It's better to let the poor monk accompany you on a trip to ensure that you don't join Yan Kunlun's faction, and let him never bother you again. ”
Zongxin has a lot of ghost ideas, and when he heard him say this, Fan Zhen also put down his heart. Recently, I have been annoyed by Yan Kunlun so much that I don't know what to do. If he went to the banquet, he would definitely force himself to join his faction, because Yan Kunlun's martial arts were too high, so he couldn't resist. If he resisted, his temper would kill him on the spot, and no one would dare to say anything.
Yan Kunlun killed not one or two Han officials, but because of his stable position, even Liu Chengyou didn't dare to say a word about him, and could only forbear. Because Liu Chengyou also hopes that when he is in crisis, Yan Kunlun will come to protect him.
The two of them tacitly understood this, because Yan Kunlun only wanted to continue to enjoy these glory and wealth, so he was more worried about Liu Chengyou's safety than anyone else. If Liu Chengyou's life is not guaranteed, then the country does not belong to his Liu family, and his glory and wealth will be in vain.
Lei Fang said: "Then bother Master Zongxin to accompany my husband on this trip." ”
"Anyway, it's boring to stay at home all day, so the poor monk wants to go out for a walk. Yan Kunlun's real name is Murong Yanchao. Liu Zhiyuan's half-brother...... A martial artist is just a matter of a few words. ”
Some words are spoken by Zongxin, which is far more intimidating than what others say. No matter how eloquent others are, it is useless to go to Yan Kunlun to admonish them, but they will be chopped to death by Yan Kunlun with one palm. Even if Zong Xin rushed forward to scold, the other party might also admire it.
At this time, it was getting late, and I didn't expect to send an invitation at this time, and I didn't know when the other party asked to go to the banquet. Zong Xin took the invitation and took a closer look, the other party was going to go late at night, and it was still early. The reason is very simple, the place he made an appointment is not suitable for daytime, it turned out to be a green building.
The demon and Dugu Xingyue are watching from the side, Wanhualou knows what place it is just by listening to the name, the demon and Dugu Xingyue are both old rivers and lakes, and they know that it is not good for a man to go to this kind of place, so he is Zongxin......
"Husband, can I go with you......? I'm not at ease. "Dugu Xingyue has recently been empathetic to Zongxin, but from Zongxin's point of view, he can't look down on the women here. But it's hard to guarantee that Zongxin occasionally eats, this kind of thing is absolutely not okay, he has delayed his youth for so many years, and Zongxin's energy must be used on himself.
Zong Xin took a deep breath and said, "My vision will be so bad, there are two fairies by my side, and I will still look at the woman in the Qinglou?"
The demon pouted and said, "I don't like it, but if you change your taste and find a different woman to sleep with...... You can do it, I don't trust you. ”
"It's not good for a girl to go to that kind of place. "Zong Xin also has some ideas, so he doesn't want the demon and Dugu Xingyue to go together.
Zong Xin said: "In this way, let Brother Zhao and Brother Li accompany us, and there is nothing to worry about if someone spies on each other." ”
"Wanhualou? I just went there during the day, and now I'm going to go again? It's too troublesome, I knew that I would stay there for the night, so as not to run in vain." Zhao Kuangyin said: "Actually, the women in there are average, few of them are pleasing to the eye, and the asking price is quite high." I don't even think it's a good deal right now. ”
Contempt, endless contempt. Everyone knew what Zhao Kuangyin was doing with Youyun Eighteen during the day, but they didn't expect that the place they went to was Wanhualou, and it seemed that Yan Kunlun's taste was comparable to Zhao Kuangyin's.
