Wei Song and Gu Lun used to be close friends, although they were both literate and martial, they were like-minded, and they were both loyal people admired by the first emperor.

"At that time, there were about seven or eight colleagues who often corresponded with me and General Gu, and the meeting place was either my house or the Gu family, and the Dragon King may not have much impression, but I was a frequent visitor to the Gu Mansion back then. ”

When describing the past, Wei Song was calm and calm, as if this hurried escape was just a coincidence, and he had no fear of the Dragon King in his heart, but he still couldn't help but bring out a hint of flattery, wanting to use the friendship of the previous generation to emotionally transform the cold young man in front of him.

Gu Shenwei really didn't have much impression, until the family was ruined, his father and brother treated him as a child, and the interaction between adults never let him participate, and he didn't care, only paid attention to whether the visitors brought children of the same age.

"The first emperor's trust in General Gu is above everyone, allowing him to bring a knife into the palace and consult secrets, General Gu is the only minister who enjoys this honor, General Gu is loyal and upright, often quarrels with the first emperor, and most of them can win, to be honest, at that time, we were a little jealous in our hearts. ”

Gu Shenwei's impression of his father was silent, but he didn't expect that it would be another surname in the court, and a scene appeared in front of his eyes: his father quarreled with the emperor, Wei Song and several others were both envious and excited, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious, not like a monarch and minister, but like a group of friends.

He suddenly remembered that Dotun, the prince of Beiting, was often surrounded by a group of companions, although the military rank was not high, but the status was different, and the emperor and his father had been hostages in Beiting for ten years, probably because they were infected with the habits of the steppe people.

Wei Song found that the Dragon King's face had miraculously softened, and continued: "General Gu is not only a high martial artist, but also a ...... knowledge."

Gu Shenwei raised his hand to interrupt, he was in no mood to listen to Wei Song's nostalgia anymore, and his heart would not soften because of this, "I just want to know why my father was killed." ”

"Alas, the root cause is all in Yan Qin, he is an old minister in the palace, he has served three emperors before and after, and somehow, he can win the emperor's favor every time. The first emperor hated the ministers, but he couldn't get out of the trap, and gradually favored Yan Qin more and more. General Gu felt that he had an obligation to advise the first emperor to stay away from the eunuchs, and for this he repeatedly reprimanded Yan Qin in public. Our friends privately advised him to take a step back for the time being, and let His Majesty solve the affairs in the palace by himself, but General Gu became more and more courageous, invited a group of literati, and compiled a collection, which was specially included in the deeds of the eunuchs of the past dynasties, and dedicated it to the first emperor. The first emperor did not get angry, but engraved the collection and distributed it all over the palace, demanding that all eunuchs read it through, and those who were illiterate should also be read to him. ”

This is also a father figure that Gu Shenwei is unfamiliar with, but there is no need for Wei Song to lie about this kind of thing.

Since the creation of the army, Gu Shenwei has compromised with different forces many times, including Jinpeng Fort, he reluctantly admitted that his father's purpose was not wrong, but the means were too direct, hurting people's face without cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, which is a taboo in all kinds of battles, "Yan Qin still hasn't fallen out of favor?"

Wei Song sighed, "Yan Qin is a smart man, he knows that he can't go toe-to-toe with General Gu, so during that time, he was humble and showed people, not only memorized the eunuch Jitong, often quoted it in front of the first emperor and General Gu, but also personally lectured and read it to the eunuchs in the palace, but he was more common sense by the first emperor, and even General Gu once thought that he had changed his surname. ”

Although it was the past many years ago, Gu Shenwei was still a little frightened when he heard it in his ears, Yan Qin's response was like his own means of revenge, if it was him, he would also memorize the extremely humiliating eunuch collection to the letter, deceiving the emperor is one thing, and more importantly, it is to ensure that the fire of hatred in his heart will not be extinguished.

There are ready-made examples around him, Shangguan Fei, Shangguan Hong, and Old Man Mu, every time these three people flatter and tout their self-deprecating identities, Gu Shenwei will add a little vigilance in his heart to remind himself that they are not credible.

The slaves will regard the flattery and forbearance as the capital of doing business, write down a note, and wait for the appropriate return, if there is no return or the return is not satisfactory, the seeds of betrayal will take root and sprout, Gu Shenwei still remembers the truth taught to him by Zhang Ji, and he has been calculating the rewards he can give to his subordinates to prevent too much deviation.

Gu Lun obviously hadn't heard of this truth back then, he believed in the enemy, thinking that the two were not in debt, and they were safe from then on.

"The first emperor died very suddenly. Wei Song continued, "I didn't have time to appoint the Minister of Care, otherwise...... Alas, in short, the situation in the imperial court changed abruptly overnight, and the empress, who is now the empress dowager, joined forces with Yan Qin to quickly take control of the affairs of the palace, held the imperial seal in her hands, and then appointed several old ministers to assist the young emperor, among whom there was no general Gu. ”

Gu Lun did not give in immediately, and discussed with several close friends to launch a palace mutiny, forcing the queen and Yan Qin to hand over power, Wei Song shook his head and sighed, "The time is late, when I came up with this idea, it has been five days since the first emperor died, and several ministers hesitated, not waiting for the plan to take shape, the queen's uncle Pang Ning has already led troops into Beijing, and was named a hussar general, guarding the Beijing division and the palace." The general trend has calmed down, and no one can change it. ”

The small gang favored by the first emperor was torn apart, and Wei Song did not hide it, "This is the court, the Dragon King has been to the Dragon Court, and he must be no stranger to this, General Gu and several colleagues paid tribute, and I and the rest of the people were all reprimanded and expelled from the Beijing Division." ”

Yan Qin did not retaliate immediately, the people who gave it were all treated like scenery, and the rank of the expatriates did not fall but rose, in short, he seemed to want to fight for the best by means of gentle wind and drizzle.

"General Gu is still worried, so he decided to move his family to the Western Regions, and I also persuaded him, saying that waiting for the young emperor Chengren, we old ministers may still have a place to play, but General Gu has already made up his mind, so he even did not hesitate to break off friendship with relatives and friends, and your two sisters-in-law decided to go back to their parents' homes and did not come to the Western Regions with them. ”

Gu Shenwei still has a little impression of this matter, he doesn't remember the appearance of his sister-in-law, he only remembers that the eldest brother seems to have quarreled with his father.

A year after the Gu family moved to the Western Regions, the situation in the imperial court had stabilized, and Yan Qin, the regular servant, took revenge, and he did not forget the humiliation he had suffered.

Whether it is to the old ministers or the dispatched officials, they have been falsely accused of various crimes, successively imprisoned, and tortured, Wei Song bowed to the eunuch at that time, "The Wei family is a big family, I have to think about hundreds of people, and I still have an idea, endure humiliation, and one day avenge everyone, I know, this sounds ridiculous, and the dragon king will not believe it, but I did think so at the beginning." ”

Yan Qin did not immediately forgive Wei Song, but sent him to Biyu City as a city governor, a position that was tantamount to a distribution for the people of the Central Plains.

Wei Song was terrified, even if he was far away, he didn't dare to secretly meet his old friend, and decided to regret his relatives.

Wei Lingmiao came with his father and volunteered to go to the Gu family to explain the situation, but he found Jinpeng Fort through the Meng family and found that it was completely redundant to withdraw from his family, and the Gu family would not live long.

"I really didn't know that Lingmiao would do that kind of thing...... Wei Song was heartbroken, the last time they met in Xiaoyaohai, he also had this expression when he talked about his son, but in the letter to his brother, he didn't mention his son's badness at all, it was all hatred for the Dragon King.

Wei Song therefore knew that the Gu family was facing annihilation, but he did not send a reminder, but took the opportunity to get close to the messenger sent by Yan Qin, "Yan Di Yan Guansheng, he is Yan Qin's righteous son, and he knows General Gu's whole family, so he will hire the Jinpeng killer, I have provided him with some convenience, and in return, Yan Qin will no longer list me as an enemy." ”

"Yan Qin has beheaded all his former political enemies?"

"No, it's only the Gu family, he especially hates General Gu, and it is said that he often quotes the text from the collection of eunuchs, claiming that it was the greatest humiliation in his life. ”

"Zhang You is a person sent by Yan Qin, knowing that I am the son of General Gu, but he wants to 'save' me, I don't understand the reason. ”

"I don't understand either. Wei Song pondered for a moment, as if he was a strategist beside the Dragon King, "Yan Qin will repay him, he will never suddenly be soft-hearted, there must be an inside story behind it, but I don't know for the time being, I see that Zhang You is not an insider, he received an order to deliberately stop the plan at a critical moment, so as to sell a favor to the Dragon King, and I and the Dubu King were used." ”

Gu Shenwei felt that it was almost over, and if he asked any more, he would only add useless details, so he pulled out the Wufeng Knife.

Wei Song felt that he should look at the Dragon King, but his gaze couldn't take off the narrow and sharp knife, "The Dragon King has a good reason to kill me, but please think about it, I am still useful, the Dragon King's biggest enemy is not me, it is Yan Qin, he is hiding in the palace, there are hundreds of thousands of troops outside, and there are hundreds of martial arts masters inside, it is impossible for the Dragon King to directly rush into the Jingshi, he has to respond internally." Although I took refuge in Yan Qin, I still hated him in my heart, but I couldn't do it, but now I have a dragon king...... Of course, King Xiao has a higher status, but once he knows that the Dragon King is taking revenge, he will not help. Think about it, Dragon King, think about it carefully, you won't get anything if you kill me, and you may even startle the snake, Yan Qin wants to use the Dragon King, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for revenge, and he can't be alerted......"

Wei Song's words are very reasonable, the most important thing is that Wei Song's relationship has not been severed, and it is not safe to kill him at this time.

Gu Shenwei grabbed Wei Song's forearm and dragged him out of the tent, the snow outside became more and more crystal clear, and the flickering light almost made people ignore the cold weather.

Wei Song looked at the Dragon King blankly, hoping to see a hint from his indifferent expression, "I'm still useful......"

"I am the son of the Gu family, the head of the dragons, and the king of the five peaks. Gu Shenwei said solemnly, "I forgive your sins and no longer inflict torture." ”

Wei Song breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to open his mouth to say something, but his head had already fallen to the ground, his body was still standing, and blood gushed out, splashing on the dragon king's body and splashing on the white snow.

A little bright red in the endless snow, this is Gu Shenwei's hatred, Chu Nanping walked out from behind the tent and became the only witness
