Chapter 71 Luo Yizhi's thoughts and Xue's Five Tigers
With Wei Zheng's intelligence, it is not surprising to see this.
Wei Zheng asked: "In that case, has your highness thought of a countermeasure?"
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun stood up and stood with his hands behind his back.
"Xuancheng, I'll tell you the truth. There are two voices around me right now, so it's difficult to make a decision."
"May I ask, Your Highness, which two are they?"
Li Zhiyun said: "First, some people say that this king should immediately give up military power, then ask his father to resign as a general, and feel at ease as a free king. In this way, he can avoid disaster. Second, some people say that the death of King Qin is too important."
Strangely enough, the prince is the most suspicious. If you give up everything at this time, it is equivalent to leaving your life to the prince's disposal. They want me to fight for it.
I feel that what they said is reasonable, so I have been unable to make a decision. Just in case, Xuancheng, since you can see it, you might as well share your opinion."
Wei Zheng thought for a while and said: "I have also analyzed the death of King Qin in detail. It is indeed very strange, and the prince is indeed suspected. If you give up everything at this time, as His Highness said, it is equivalent to giving your life to the prince.
.”
"Then you mean fighting?" Li Zhiyun asked tentatively.
Wei Zheng pursed his lips and bowed: "I have been conspired by His Highness, so I should explain the pros and cons of the two choices for Your Highness. If you surrender, Your Highness may be able to save your life for a while, but His Highness's reputation in the army is growing, and he will eventually be jealous of the Crown Prince.
Whether it will end well in the future, no one knows.
If we fight, His Highness will be a little weak, and in front of the Crown Prince, his inferiority will outweigh his superiority. But once he succeeds in the future...it goes without saying that the benefits will be obvious."
"Then do you think I want to fight or surrender?" Li Zhiyun asked again.
Wei Zheng said slyly: "Whether Your Highness is arguing or not, I will make plans for Your Highness."
Li Zhiyun laughed and said: "Xuancheng, this is the first time that you have a vague attitude."
"That's not the case." Wei Zheng said rigorously: "I cannot make decisions for the king. I will only charge into battle for the king."
Li Zhiyun stretched out his hand and nodded at him, "Xuancheng, you are very cunning."
After a pause, he continued: "But you did the right thing. There are some things that you really cannot make the decision for me."
Li Zhiyun was silent for a moment and asked: "If I want to fight, what are the chances of winning?"
"Thirty percent."
"Thirty percent?" Li Zhiyun was shocked, "This is too low."
"If the king had not had soldiers and horses in hand, he would not have even Sancheng." Wei Zheng said: "The king is neither his direct descendant nor his eldest son, and a saint would never make him the crown prince."
To be very honest, this is why most people think that King Chu is unlikely to succeed.
Li Zhiyun asked: "Xuancheng, do you have any way to let me win?"
"Yes." Wei Zheng's eyes were sharp and he said solemnly: "Kill the prince directly."
Li Zhiyun's eyelids twitched. This old Wei had directly advised Li Jiancheng to kill the King of Qin in history, and he is still so direct now.
He is really a loner and an outspoken person.
"Xuancheng, do you know that if what you just said were spread, I'm afraid everyone in your family will die without a burial place."
Inciting fraternal feelings among the royal family and plotting to kill the crown prince is tantamount to treason, a heinous crime!
Wei Zheng said without fear: "Therefore, I only say this in front of His Highness."
"Hahaha." Li Zhiyun laughed. In the past, he had never seen that the old-fashioned Wei Zheng could be so interesting.
Li Zhiyun asked again, "Xuancheng, do you think I am capable of taking that position?"
Wei Zheng said without hesitation: "Yes!"
"Oh, why are you so sure?"
"Because I know that if Your Highness fights, it will be a last resort. When the prince, King Qin and King Qi are fighting the most fiercely, only His Highness is thinking about the country. If the prince is allowed to ascend the throne, His Highness's life will not be guaranteed, and even the country will be affected.
It will also be turbulent.
I admit that although the prince has the ability to manage politics, he is too unscrupulous. The death of King Qin and the southward movement of the Turks are all strange."
Li Zhiyun took a deep look at Wei Zheng, walked to the throne, shook his sleeves, and knelt down.
"Xuancheng, have you thought about it? If you are with this king, if things fail in the future, your life will be ruined."
Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng understood that King Chu had made a decision.
He leaned forward and said: "Before I met Your Highness, I was running around for a living. Only after meeting Your Highness did I have a choice. Even if I die thousands of times, I will have no regrets."
Li Zhiyun put his heart back into his stomach and nodded slowly.
"Okay, if you treat me with my heart, I will treat you with my heart."
Wei Zheng knew that from this moment on, he truly became King Chu's confidant.
So, he cupped his hands and said: "Since His Highness has made a decision, those who hope that His Highness will give up the fight cannot tell everything in the future, lest the matter be leaked and cause a catastrophe."
Li Zhiyun said: "Don't worry, I know all this."
Originally, Li Zhiyun was prepared to test Wei Zheng's attitude after the important matter was confirmed, but he did not expect Wei Zheng to be so forthcoming.
In fact, it’s okay to think about it. In history, Old Wei dared to suggest that the prince kill the King of Qin directly. In terms of adventurous spirit, Old Wei still had some.
Wei Zheng paused and asked: "Your Highness, Du Ruhui and Xue Shou, these two are the talents of Wang Zuo. I wonder what their attitude is? If we can get them to return to their hearts, great things can be expected for Your Highness."
"Xuancheng, don't worry, they are the ones who persuaded me to fight." Li Zhiyun said with a smile.
Old Wei, I have done far more than you think.
Wei Zheng nodded, "That's good. The top and bottom are united and the inside and outside are consistent. As long as Your Highness makes no mistakes, I will be willing to make plans for Your Highness."
"good."
In the next half hour, Li Zhiyun and Wei Zheng talked and discussed a lot, and both parties gained a lot.
There was a question that made them a little confused.
That's how to kill the prince.
In this regard, Wei Zheng couldn't come up with a good solution for the time being, so he could only tell Li Zhiyun, hoping to gather everyone's wisdom to discuss it.
Li Zhiyun didn't pay attention, but said: "The prince is my brother after all, and this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."
"Yes." Wei Zheng was not surprised by King Chu's hesitation. After all, the other party was his brother.
Youzhou.
General Manager's Office.
"Sir, can't we just go back?" Luo Yi looked at Wen Yanbo with great reluctance. He knew Wen Yanbo's talent, so he didn't want to send him back to the Tang Dynasty at all.
Wen Yanbo said helplessly: "If the general manager refuses, how will the court explain it? What's more, this time the court also supports the general manager of grain and grass, how can the general manager refuse?"
How could he not see that Luo Yi was ambitious, but he was too lazy to persuade him. Now that the Tang Dynasty would dominate the world, it was not something Luo Yi could stop. He could also guess why the imperial court did not recall Luo Yi to Chang'an. It was just hoping that Luo Yi would
Continue to fight dog with Gao Kaidao.
Then again, if it weren't for the Turks moving south this year, Hebei would have been completely pacified long ago.
Luo Yi's eyes flickered and he said: "If you, sir, are willing to stay, I will refuse the imperial envoy."
Wen Yanbo said earnestly: "If this is the case, the saint will only be more suspicious of the general manager. It turns out that you did not send troops to attack the Turks and help the King of Chu, which made the King of Chu dissatisfied. If you still don't respect the imperial order this time, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."
"The Turks are powerful, how can I stop them!" Luo Yi said.
Wen Yanbo didn't want to speak anymore and just remained silent.
Seeing this, Luo Yi knew that Wen Yanbo had decided to leave. Although he wanted to persuade Wen Yanbo to be loyal to him, in the face of reality, he knew that the possibility of Wen Yanbo's loyalty to him was slim.
So, he asked: "If sir leaves, how can I resist Gao Kaidao?"
Wen Yanbo pondered and said: "There is no need to worry about this matter. With the imperial court as the backer of the general manager, there is no need to worry about Gao Kaidao."
Saying it means not saying it.
Luo Yi shook his head in disappointment and waved Wen Yanbo away.
