"What's going on!? How could this happen!"
Mu Kui turned pale with shock and couldn't help but turn around.
He never imagined that the person in front of him would appear here.
Moreover, he could clearly feel that what happened just now must be related to this person.
But isn't he Wu Zhu's most loyal minister? How could this be done?
Is he the same as me?
"Father~!"
The moment Mu Lin saw the person coming, his expression darkened.
I saw Ji Su crying and running over, hugging Wu Zhu who had already lost his life, and started crying loudly.
That shrill and tragic cry made those who heard it sad and those who saw it shed tears.
"Ahhh! Mu Kui, you beast! The king trusts you so much, and you actually killed him with your own hands?
Do you still want to kill us all? come! Kill us! "
While crying, he looked at Mu Kui and his son.
But in his eyes, there were no tears and no sadness.
It's just thunder but no rain.
There is even excitement, greed, and a hint of teasing in it.
At this time, no matter how stupid Mu Kui and his son were, they still came to their senses.
Damn it!
What a trap!
Ji Su was so stupid, he was obviously the one who killed Wu Zhu!
However, no matter how you explain it at this time, it is futile, not to mention that you are still on someone else's territory.
Seeing that the guards around him had gathered around with unkind expressions, Mu Kui immediately shouted, kicked one of the guards away, and said, "Quick! Break out of the encirclement!"
"Bah!"
Mu Lin yelled, then struck out like lightning, grabbed the other guard's neck, twisted it hard, and broke it.
"Father, I'll cover you to get out!"
Mu Lin dodged the sword and shield, covering Mu Kui all the way as he rushed out.
In a desperate situation, the potential that father and son unleashed was unstoppable.
He slashed left and right, killing ghosts crying and wolves howling, blood flowing like a fountain, and he forced his way out of the way.
Seeing that Mu Kui and his son were covered in blood, they had broken out of the encirclement and walked away.
Ji Su was not angry but happy. He threw the cold Wu Zhu out with a smile on his face, and sat on the tiger skin throne with his horse and golden sword.
"Now, everyone knows that you killed the king and rushed out of the palace. Even if you are the new king made by the Emperor of Qin, so what? Aren't you just like a bereaved dog?"
With the death of King Wu Zhu of Minyue, the whole of Minyue was in chaos.
But they still maintained maximum restraint and no large-scale conflicts broke out.
Because the army stationed in Shipu is like the sword of Damolensk, hanging above everyone's heads.
"Master! Prime Minister Ji has taken action!"
Chen Ping came to Zhao Hao's courtyard with excitement on his face.
At this time, Zhao Hao was begging Ying Zheng to write Spring Festival couplets because the Chinese New Year was coming soon.
Although there are certain differences between the Chinese New Year in this era and the Spring Festival in later generations, it is also one of the most important days in the Qin Dynasty.
In particular, Zhao Hao told Ying Zheng some of his ideas for the New Year. Ying Zheng was very interested and decided to celebrate this special year with the people of Linchen City.
"His Majesty!"
The first time Chen Ping saw Ying Zheng, he quickly saluted respectfully.
Ying Zheng picked up the brush, glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Chen Ping, I know you have done well in recent times, so there is no need to be polite!"
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhao Hao and said, "You guys chat!" and continued to bend down to write Spring Festival couplets.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Chen Ping laughed sarcastically, slowly came to Zhao Hao's side, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, there has been chaos in Fujian and Yue!"
"oh?"
Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows: "So, Ji Su has already killed Wu Zhu?"
"killed!"
Chen Ping smiled and nodded: "He sent his son to discuss cooperation before. I thought he would help us pacify Minyue, but I didn't expect that he would kill Wu Zhu!"
"Ah!"
Zhao Hao chuckled lightly and said: "People's ambitions are never satisfied. Maybe when they heard that we named Mukui king, they felt that we were favoring one over the other, so I thought I could do it myself!"
"Isn't this just right? The more fun they kill, the more we will benefit!"
"Um."
Zhao Hao nodded slightly, then thought of something again, and then asked: "What's going on over there in South Vietnam?"
"The food has been delivered, man." Chen Ping said speechlessly, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."
"Disaster?"
Zhao Hao sneered and said without any doubt: "Then let Han Xin lead a hundred thousand troops to South Vietnam to put pressure on them!"
"promise!"
Chen Ping promised, then glanced at Ying Zheng who was writing Spring Festival couplets, and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy from Xianyang has arrived in Kuaiji. In two days, he will arrive at Linchen City. Look."
He didn't finish the rest of the words, but Ying Zheng had already put down the brush in his hand, picked up the wet towel on the table and wiped his hands, and said lightly, "Who is the messenger?"
"The chief envoy is General Yang Duanhe, the deputy envoy is Zhao Cheng, and he is accompanied by officials from the Tingwei Mansion."
Chen Ping replied respectfully.
"Zhao Cheng?"
Ying Zheng frowned and seemed a little confused: "Who is this person? What qualifications do he have to be a deputy envoy?"
"Your Majesty, this man is Zhao Gao's younger brother."
"oh."
Ying Zheng suddenly nodded, his expression calm, showing no emotion or anger.
After a moment, he looked at Zhao Hao again: "What are your ideas?"
Zhao Hao thought for a while and said with a smile: "If Father really wants to see them perform, I have a plan. I wonder if Father is willing?"
"Oh? What's the plan?"
"hey-hey."
At the same time, Xianyang Capital.
It has been more than half a month since the mission went south, and the situation in Xianyang has become increasingly unclear. Even Yao Jia, who is very friendly with Li Si, can no longer understand Li Si.
As for Wang Wan, Wei Liao, Zheng Guo, Zhang Cang and other imperial veterans, they gradually withdrew from the center of power and transferred all power to the newly established temporary cabinet.
On this day, Yao Jia went to Dianke's mansion alone to visit Dun Ruilai.
Although Dunruo is the actual controller of Heibingtai, Dunruo's most important identity is that of Jiuqing Dianke who handles diplomatic relations.
The relationship between Yao Jia and Dun Ruo is very deep.
They were both recruited by Ying Zheng's court, held the same diplomatic power, were the ninth ministers of the empire, and secretly planned things together.
The biggest differences are, firstly, different family backgrounds, and secondly, different personalities.
Yao Jia's family background is not good. His father is a veteran guarding the gate, and he is known as the "Daliang Supervisor". Therefore, Yao Jia relied on his own power to step into the core of Qin's power.
As for Dunwei, they are talents from the Yanzhao family, celebrities, and people who traveled all over the world and entered Xianyang.
In terms of temperament, Yao Jia is astute and as good at mediating as Li Si.
If you are weak, you will be arrogant and disdain to have close friendship with others.
Among all the veterans of the empire in Yingzheng, apart from Li Si, only Dunruo and Yao Jia were somewhat hypocritical.
Nowadays, the situation in Xianyang is becoming more and more complicated. His Majesty is imprisoned in the South China Sea, and the weak commander who originally controlled the Black Ice Platform has done nothing. This made Yao Jia, who knew Dunwei somewhat, feel vaguely uneasy.
Yao Jia looked up at the door of Dianke Mansion, frowned slightly, and then strode into the door.
At this time, Dunwei seemed to be a different person. He was walking in the courtyard with a stooped body and slow steps. He was clearly an old man living in the mountains.
At first, he didn't believe Dun Rui's claim that he was sick, but now that he saw her, he felt a little regretful.
"Dunzi, you're fine!"
Yao Jia sighed and said hello from afar.
"Yao Jia?"
He was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw a trace of surprise wandering in the old ravine.
"Dunzi, what do you think this is?"
As if offering a treasure, Yao Jia took out a wine bottle from behind and walked forward with a smile.
"It's not appropriate for me to drink in this situation. I made a miscalculation."
The smile on Dunruo's face disappeared instantly, and he shook his head in displeasure.
"Hahaha!"
Yao Jia raised his head and laughed: "Who said this is wine? This is the latest juice from Xianyang. What a miscalculation!"
"Silence!"
Dunwei said with a straight face: "Are you laughing? You're so old, but you still drink juice like those young people! What's so funny about drinking juice?"
"Why--"
Yao Jia sighed helplessly and said: "You old man, you don't laugh even if you don't drink, and you still teach people how to live!"
"Stop talking nonsense, come with me!"
Dun weakly picked up his cane and walked towards the pavilion.
Yao Jia's eyes lit up and he secretly said that Dunzi was in good spirits.
They have been ministers of the same court for many years, and many habits were developed unexpectedly.
For example, if you want to talk about important matters, you generally need to avoid hearing and eyes, and even if someone hears you, you must speak continuously without making any inappropriate remarks.
At the moment, Dunruo led him to the pavilion because there was a rockery and water there, and the sound of the water was gurgling. If the conversation was normal, it would be difficult for people within ten meters to hear clearly.
It can be seen that although Dunwei is morbid, he is also full of energy and has clear thinking.
Two days later, we walked into the pavilion, helped each other, and inadvertently approached the water flow.
I saw Dunrui put down the bamboo stick in his hand, moved his hand behind his back, and a bottle of fruity wine suddenly appeared in his hand, followed by some funny teasing: "Isn't this better than your juice? "
Yao Jia reached out and took it, smelled it, raised his head and said with a smile: "The fruity aroma is overflowing, and the aroma of wine is astounding to your nostrils, it's wonderful!"
"Since you have come to my place, you must have made a decision in your heart. Why do you dare to laugh again and again?"
Dun Ruo looked at Yao Jia obviously unhappy.
Yao Jia was embarrassed for a moment and pretended not to know: "What do you mean by Dunzi's words? What decision do I have in my heart?"
"If Yao Jiaru thinks that I am a wise man, you can go back."
"Brother Dun Ruo, hey, okay, Yao Jia has made it clear!"
"Appreciate further details!"
Dunruo asked expressionlessly.
Yao Jia glanced at Dun Rui and immediately handed over his hand: "Please help Dun Zi to help Li Tingwei stabilize the Qin Dynasty!"
"How to help? Please tell me!"
Dunruo still looked at Yao Jia expressionlessly.
Yao Jia's face straightened and he said: "Use the power of the Black Ice Platform to eliminate the dark forces in the court, ensure that Li Tingwei can govern smoothly, and support your Majesty's rule of law to remain unchanged!"
He said this in an passionate tone, as if he was a loyal minister for the country and the people.
Dun was weak but said nothing, looking at him quietly.
After a long silence, he weakly raised the bamboo stick in his hand, tapped the stone platform in front of Yao Jia, and said calmly:
"Whether there are dark forces in the imperial court, I will not express my position for the time being. I will only say one thing: According to Qin law, Heibingtai is only responsible to His Majesty and the secrets of diplomatic relations, and is not allowed to interfere in national affairs. Otherwise, why would Heibingtai always be His Majesty's confidant? , or even the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs is responsible?”
"After the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, His Majesty rarely used the Black Ice Platform. Sometimes he even wanted to cancel the Black Ice Platform. However, the restoration forces of the Six Kingdoms emerged one after another, and they were put aside again and again;
During this eastward tour, His Majesty encountered many dangers, but Heibingtai was never seen. Do you know why?
Because His Majesty once mentioned to me that if the Qin State wants to develop stably and promote the rule of law, imperial minions like Heibingtai should withdraw."
"Then did your Majesty issue an edict to remove the Black Ice Platform?" Yao Jia asked eagerly.
"I advise Ting Wei and ask Ting Wei to tell Li Si on his behalf."
Dunruo avoided Yao Jia's question and said in a heavy tone:
“The future of Da Qin is a more humane and legal country. Even if there are lawbreakers, they need to be exterminated according to law, not violently;
Nowadays, the country is changing and power is being divided. Da Qin also has a newly established cabinet. As long as a few cabinet ministers uphold their public conscience, what should they fear from the so-called dark forces in the court? "
"this"
Yao Jia was speechless, and then showed a worried look on his face: "Dunzi's suggestion has some truth, just in case."
"It's just Zhao Hao's business, what's the contingency?"
Dun Ruo said disapprovingly.
Yao Jia frowned and said: "Your Majesty's situation is not yet known. Zhao Hao is in the South China Sea. It may not be a trivial matter."
"In that case, I will make it clear."
He weakened his cane for a moment, stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "With the foundation laid by His Majesty the Emperor, even if a hundred Zhao Hao appeared, they would not be able to cause much trouble;
After Your Majesty, the only variable in Great Qin is not Zhao Hao, but Li Si! "
"Li Si?"
Yao Jia was surprised and a little confused, wondering what changes Li Si could have.
However, Dunruo stared straight at him and said coldly:
"In terms of court mediation, political skills, and several cabinet ministers, who is Li Si's opponent? As long as Li Si upholds his integrity and acts in accordance with the law, no one can shake the Qin Dynasty!"
"Even if Zhao Hao is ambitious, so what? As long as you call the young master Fusu and General Meng Tian back to Xianyang, you say, what can Zhao Hao do? What can other princes do?"
"What I can't figure out most about the current matter is Your Majesty! Why was Your Majesty imprisoned by Zhao Hao? Why did Li Si and the ministers have such an attitude? Your Majesty was in trouble, why didn't you send troops south?"
"Even if sending troops south at this time may have a big impact, His Majesty has been stranded in the South China Sea for several months, and his life and death are unknown. What is more important than His Majesty's safety? How strange! What are the thoughts of Tingwei and the cabinet ministers? Thought?!"
Suddenly, the pause stopped.
"Brother Dun Ruo, you misunderstood!"
Yao Jia said seriously: "The changes in the South China Sea were too hasty, and the northern border was not peaceful. There were not many troops left in Guanzhong. The cabinet ministers also considered the overall situation and did not send troops southward;
Moreover, after my reflection, Li Tingwei did not believe that Young Master Hao would be harmful to His Majesty, so he sent envoys to welcome His Majesty back;
Firstly, it can reduce the impact and stabilize the situation, and secondly, it can explore the details and clear Gongzi Hao's name. After all, Gongzi Hao proposed many of Da Qin's national policies."
"I made a mistake, you don't need to explain it"
Dunwei shook his head tiredly.
Yao Jia frowned slightly and spoke again: "Yao Jia has one more request. I hope Brother Dunwei will forgive me."
"Ting Weidan said."
"What Yao Jia said today is neither a discussion of political affairs nor a private discussion of His Majesty."
"I understand, so we drank the juice together!" Dun smiled weakly.
Yao Jia also smiled: "Farewell!"
"I won't give it away."
He waved his hands weakly, and finally couldn't help but say: "It's better not to get too close to Li Si. Young Master Hao is, well, too evil."
"hehe."
Yao Jia smiled noncommittally, then hurried out of Dianke's Mansion and went straight to Li Si's Mansion.
However, Li Si was no longer in the mansion and had a private meeting with Zhao Gao.
