"Aye, the DPRK has decided to designate Zitai as a traitor."
Zhou Zun returned home for the first time without asking for leave.
Zhou Qin carried the bird cage and whistled, "Zitai takes the three states and has a foundation. From ancient times to the present, anyone who has such a foundation must either rebel or wait for death."
The emperor's suspicion will be pervasive. Even if you give up your foundation and military power, you will still die in the end.
"North Korea and China have decided to attack Northern Xinjiang!"
"Don't listen to his clamor. If we really want to crusade, we have to contact Northern Liao. We also need to make many arrangements in Southern Xinjiang."
The father and son were silent.
The old dog chirped crisply in the birdcage.
"Scream again and I'll kill you!"
Zhou Qin broke the silence, "What do you think?"
"I'm thinking, Zitai can't go back." Zhou Zun thought of his daughter and grandson, and felt sad.
This is the Zhou family's backyard. Several big trees have one thing in common: a branch is specially tied with a rope below. After being tied for a long time, the branch deforms and is at the height of a person's shoulder.
The old dog was silent. Zhou Qin hung the birdcage on the branch and sighed, "Have we finally come to this point?"
Zhou Zun nodded, "The general trend is, we can't do anything if we don't go."
Zhou Qin raised his eyebrows, "In this world, there is no room for honest people to live! If that's the case, then let's make a scene!"
Zhou Zun said: "I said nothing today, but no one talked to me."
"To avoid suspicion!" Zhou Qin sneered, "The Zhou family's son-in-law has been labeled as a traitor by the emperor and his ministers, and his reputation is not far away. But those people don't want to think about it. What if he becomes a traitor?"
"If it is done."
Zhou Zun blinked and said, "It seems that I am going to become Yang Songcheng's second best?"
"Pooh!"
Zhou Qin slapped him in the face, "Can't you just not mention that person?"
The autumn wind blew by, but the father and son felt their blood boiling.
It’s been dormant for many years, a long-lost feeling!
"Let people quietly go to various farms to train all the young men." Zhou Qin said: "In addition, hoard money and food, and secretly hoard weapons."
"You can't hide it from anyone!" Zhou Zun said.
"I'm not going to hide it from anyone!"
Zhou is planning to lead the party, but Huang Chunhui is a little disappointed.
"Have you really come this far?"
Huang Lu nodded, "In the past, His Majesty and Yang Song were the only ones who said that the Duke of Qin was a traitor. Today, everyone in the court, civil and military, except Zhou Zun, is on the same side."
"Hey!" Huang Chunhui looked at the leaves on the trees, "Northern Xinjiang, the leaves are starting to turn yellow!"
"Yes." Huang Lu glanced at her old father worriedly, "Aye, the court has announced that they will attack Northern Xinjiang."
"Those idiots!" Huang Chunhui shook his head, "Bei Xinjiang is just one step away from destroying Bei Liao. What do they want to do?"
Huang Lu sneered, "This is just because I don't want the credit for destroying Northern Liao to go to Duke Qin. Dirty!"
"The emperor is incompetent, and his ministers are like flies and dogs!" Huang Chunhui sighed: "Is Zhang Huan also taking sides?"
"Yes!" Huang Lu said: "Zhang Huan now wants to take care of his old age."
"Prepare the carriage!" Huang Chunhui stood up.
"Aye, where are you going?" Huang Lu was surprised. "I haven't been out for a long time, go to the Ministry of War!"
"There's someone out there watching!"
"I want to go out, who dares to stop me?"
The Huang family's carriage came out.
Outside the door, more than ten eyeliners were stunned.
How long has it been since Huang Chunhui went out?
What is this for?
These people were stunned and at a loss.
Then, a group of people followed behind without covering up.
Someone was flying to report the news.
"Huang Chunhui left home?"
"The old dog came out of the hole?"
When the carriage arrived outside the imperial city, the sergeant guarding the gate was also stunned.
Huang Chunhui got off the carriage and looked up at the imperial city, "It's a little more desolate again!"
What you said is taboo. Huang Lu smiled bitterly and went up to support him, "Aye, go in!"
"Huang Xiang!"
The sergeant guarding the gate saluted.
"I would like to see Zhang Huan from the Ministry of War. Please tell me!"
Huang Chunhui did not go in.
"You just go directly."
Huang Chunhui still carries the false title of prime minister on his body, so entering the imperial city is not a problem.
"Go for it!"
Huang Chunhui refused.
Immediately, someone went to the Ministry of War to report the news.
"Huang Chunhui?"
Zhang Huan nodded, "Let me go and greet you. I'll be out right away."
After waiting for others to leave, Zhang Huan paced in the check-in room.
"Huang Chunhui goes out every few years just to see me. Does he want to speak for Yang Xuan in Northern Xinjiang?"
"I have no choice but to stand in line, doesn't Huang Chunhui know?"
"I know that this matter is important. If I don't do it right, it will cause civil strife, but"
A clerk came in and said, "Mr. Huang, Xianggong Huang is here."
Zhang Huan greeted him with a smile, "Huang Xiang, it's been a long time."
The two exchanged a few words and then went in.
Huang Chunhui sat down and sighed softly when he saw that there was not a map on the table but a text.
You say it!
I'm just talking nonsense.
Zhang Huan decided to cope with all changes by remaining unchanged.
Huang Chunhui looked at him, "Your Majesty has made up his mind, and I know there is no way to reverse it. Now, I just want to say something.
"Please tell me, Mr. Huang." In terms of people in Chang'an who are worthy of Zhang Huan's respect, Huang Chunhui ranks among the top three.
But what did Huang Chunhui want to say?
What is the overall situation?
Too hasty?
Still apologizing for Northern Xinjiang, or begging for mercy?
Huang Chunhui said: "I am worried about Chang'an's defeat!"
He stood up, nodded slightly, turned around and left the duty room.
After a long time, an official came to see Zhang Huan and accidentally glanced at him.
Zhang Huan stood blankly in the check-in room.
A look of astonishment.
"Xiang Zhang, your Majesty has summoned you."
Zhang Huan slapped his forehead and let out a long breath, "Fuck me!"
Zhang Huan entered the palace.
The emperor was dressed in Taoist robes, with a pleasant smile on his thin cheeks.
He has always wanted to label Northern Xinjiang as a rebel, but the opinions of the ministers in the DPRK could not be unified. Today, with the news that troops from Northern Xinjiang were approaching Jiangzhou, he finally achieved his goal.
He took advantage of the situation and decided to conquer northern Xinjiang, and most of the officials agreed.
Now, we are just waiting for all preparations to be completed.
The army in southern Xinjiang needs to be expanded, and the same goes for the guards in Chang'an.
Food and fodder must also be prepared.
There are so many things!
The emperor became excited for the first time in a long time.
He glanced at Zhang Huan.
"Huang Chunhui went to the Ministry of War?"
"Yes!" Zhang Huan, who was preparing to retire, lowered his head, "He said he was worried that Chang'an would lose to Northern Xinjiang."
ha!
The emperor wanted to rebuke angrily, but then he laughed again.
"The Chang'an guards have more than 100,000 troops, and they can recruit warriors at any time. It is easy to recruit 300,000 troops. Adding the 200,000 troops in the southern border, what can the 120,000 troops in the northern border do?"
Zhang Huan was silent.
"Does Zhang Qing think so too?" the emperor asked seemingly casually.
I just want to tell him to go back to his hometown to go fishing. Zhang Huan regrets that he did not write the official memorial. It is difficult to mention it at this moment, otherwise it will be suspected of avoiding misfortune.
He may not care, but what about his children and grandchildren?
"I think your Majesty will win!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The emperor is in a good mood, and the mirror should be in a good mood as well.
But the atmosphere on the stage was a bit stagnant.
A eunuch was sent from the palace to monitor the mirror, and everyone's first thought was that Wang Shou was going to die.
Wang Shou dismissed his confidants and was now talking to Huanghuang.
"Years ago, we prepared a wine shop outside the city. It is opened by barbarians and can hide people's eyes and ears. You go first with this wooden sign."
Huanghuang did not take the wooden sign, "What are you waiting for? Are you worried about Zhao Sanfu's few stakes? I can kill them easily.
"The goal for us to go out together is too big and Chen Kunjin
They are looking for trouble with us. You go first. Those people only know that we have a good person beside us. They will feel relieved when we go out alone.
We pretended to be businessmen and made an agreement with someone to leave the city with the caravan tomorrow morning.
Damn it! Once we leave, Zhao Sanfu will definitely be implicated, that will be interesting.
And the emperor, that idiot, will definitely become angry and worried that I will tell you his scandalous things and keep mumbling!"
"Is that businessman reliable?" Huanghuang asked.
"You don't know our methods yet?" Wang Shou frowned.
Wang Shou secretly made some preparations recently and ordered several of his confidants to leave. In fact, he was secretly preparing to take action.
It was not a palace coup, but an assassination of the King of Yue.
It couldn't be more appropriate to take this opportunity to leave.
"I'm waiting for you!"
Huanghuang put the wooden sign away later and quietly walked away from behind.
Wang Shou smiled, and a clerk came in, "Wang Jianmen, Mr. Chen has called you!"
"That dog also has a pair that we can call around?" Wang Shou sneered.
When the clerk reported back, Chen Kun smiled and said: "This old dog took the initiative to give you an opportunity. We will enter the palace now."
Chen Kun entered the palace to see the emperor.
"Wang Shou is domineering. When the servant discovered the problem, he asked him to ask, but he was humiliated!"
The emperor said coldly: "Let the old dog come."
Han Shitou saw the coldness in the emperor's eyes and knew that Wang Shou would not be able to survive today.
The emperor lifted Zhao Sanfu up just to let him compete with Wang Shou in the ring and wrest power from Wang Shou step by step.
The emperor was so cautious because he was worried about forcing Wang Shou to jump over the wall. He gradually turned Wang Shou into a loner. This was a good opportunity to take action.
Dog eat dog!
Han Shitou went out and ordered people to go to the mirror stand.
Sun Laoer was having fun with a palace maid outside. When he saw him coming out, he quickly stood up.
I don't know what he said before, but the palace maid left with a blushing face.
Han Shitou ordered people to summon Wang Shou, and then walked up to Sun Laoer, "Behave!"
Sun Laoer nodded with a playful smile and whispered: "Lang Jun, is it okay?"
"Only Ningxing is left!" Han Shitou said lightly: "It's just right, Chang'an also needs to prepare a lot of things. Maybe, after Lang Jun goes to Ningxing, it will be just right here."
"decisive battle!"
"This is fate!"
"Our blood is boiling. We wish we could serve as a pawn under Lang Jun."
"If you go, you won't be able to help Mr. Lang. You will only become a burden."
"What about you?"
Han Shitou's eyes were deep, "We want to stay with the old dog!"
"Are you tired?" Sun Laoer asked.
"Not tired!"
"When we heard the news, we suddenly felt tired."
"It's still early."
"We were worried that the old dog and his son had already passed away."
"Don't worry, their father and son's bodies are as good as theirs! With us taking care of them, they are better than anyone else!"
"That's good." Sun Laoer felt reassured, "Remember, anyone can die, but father and son cannot die. We must leave it to Lang Jun to deal with it."
"Don't worry, even if the Lord of Hell wants the lives of their father and son, we can still bring them back!"
Han Shitou said softly: "We want to see their father and son. Life would be worse than death!"
Sun Laoer was in a happy mood and was ready to go out to do errands.
He didn't know much about military affairs, and it was difficult to find people to inquire about, as he was worried about arousing suspicion. Han Shitou had been with the puppet emperor for many years, and his literacy in this area was not low.
Han Shitou said that the day when the young master raised an army was not far away, so it must be not far away.
He felt that his heartbeat was not fast, but his whole body felt warm.
Before leaving the palace, he saw Wang Shou.
"Wang Jianmen!"
Sun Laoer politely handed over his hand.
Wang Shou cupped his hands and asked, "Going out?"
"Yes!" Sun Laoer felt that Wang Shou was a little more smoky today.
Even after leaving the palace, he still remembered the way Wang Shou looked at him.
It seems a little envious.
What do you envy us for?
Sun Laoer couldn't help but feel happy when he thought about the situation.
yes!
nice day
The child is right in front of us. If we knew it, who wouldn’t envy us!
Wang Shou arrived outside the troupe and looked a little nervous.
"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?" Chen Kun also came.
Wang Shou sneered, "Wild dog!"
"Old dog!"
The two yelled at each other in low voices.
"Come in!"
A chamberlain came out and led the two of them in.
Wang Shou lowered his head and walked all the way inside.
Several palace ladies are dancing.
Summer and early autumn are good seasons for watching dances. Even the chamberlains who have lost their functions still find it pleasing to the eye when they see the half-covered palace people.
"Your Majesty, drink herbal tea!"
Han Shitou presented herbal tea.
The emperor took it and pointed at Han Shitou, "You are worried that I will die, right?"
Han Shitou said seriously: "Yes!"
The emperor took a sip of herbal tea and said, "I heard that you asked the medical officer for the recipe for this herbal tea?"
"yes!"
This kind of prescription is naturally a secret that is not passed down. No one knows it unless the medical officer tells it.
Han Shitou didn't say what price he paid in exchange for this prescription, and looked calm.
"You!"
The emperor pointed at him again, and then looked at Wang Shou, with a cold look on his face.
"Chen Kun is the person I sent to inspect the mirror. Why do you look down on him?"
Wang Shou knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this servant has been wronged!"
"Yeah!" The emperor squinted his eyes, a flash of light flashing in his eyes.
"This slave is loyal to Your Majesty."
Wang Shou raised his head and said, "When His Majesty first launched the palace coup, it was the servants who led the people to the front. There were many good soldiers around the Emperor Wu, but the servants were ordinary in cultivation, but they fought hard and were injured seven times. Only then did they get Wu. The emperor was placed under house arrest."
"Bold!" Han Shitou shouted, "Come here!"
"Wait for him to say it!" The emperor waved his hand, and his eyes reminded Han Shitou of the indifference of gods looking down on the human world.
"That year, His Majesty once again launched a palace coup, and it was still the slave who rushed to the front. It was the slave who was the first to capture the Supreme Emperor who was about to escape."
"His Majesty ascended the throne and wanted to purge the people of Emperor Wu and Emperor Tai. It was this slave who took action with a mirror regardless of his reputation."
Wang Shou asked, "Are you disloyal? Your Majesty ordered Chen Kun to monitor the mirror."
He pointed at Chen Kun, "This is a way for Chen Kun to find the slave and then capture the slave, right?"
The emperor looked at him like a dead man, "Old dog! Someone is here!"
"My servant is an old dog, what do you want from Your Majesty?" Wang Shou said with a smile: "When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden. When the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys will be cooked. I know that Your Majesty has too much privacy, so I deserve to die. But before I die, there is someone Think about it."
The emperor said calmly: "What are you thinking about?"
Wang Shou looked at him and said, "This slave wants to kill the king!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Shou, who was kneeling on the ground, grabbed hold of him with both hands, and he flew away.
