Chapter 16: The King of Chu Supervising the Country Overview
The two people were talking, and Wei Zheng came from a distance.
"Your Highness, I and General Zhang have taken control of the East Palace staff." At this point, he paused slightly, and then said: "Yu Wenying, the staff member of the Prince of Qi, knew that Prince Qi's rebellion failed and committed suicide. As for Xue Deyin, her whereabouts are unknown."
"Xue Deyin is already under my control, there is no need to search."
"Yes." Wei Zheng responded, then stepped forward and whispered: "Your Highness, the situation is now in your hands. You can go further and completely control..."
"Okay." Li Zhiyun interrupted him and said: "Xuancheng, I know what you mean, but now is not the time. My father's life and death are uncertain right now, and the people in the court and the public are panic-stricken. If I go further, the court will definitely be in turmoil.
But you don’t have to worry, I have controlled the troops in Guanzhong now, and no one can cause any more trouble."
Hearing this, Wei Zheng nodded and said no more.
Li Zhiyun sat on the floor and asked Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng to sit down as well.
The three of them just sat on the steps, surrounded by the guards of the King of Chu.
"I suddenly remembered a story. I wonder if you are interested in hearing it."
Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui looked at each other, and the latter smiled and said, "I would like to hear the details."
Li Zhiyun nodded and said melancholy: "I once heard a teacher and educator talk about it. I don't know if it is true or not. Please listen to it and don't be nervous.
Legend has it that in ancient times, before the dawn of time, gods and demons coexisted, there was a mountain village, and there lived an evil dragon on the mountain. The evil dragon liked gold, silver, treasures and girls. The villagers suffered greatly from it and had trouble sleeping day and night.
After an evil dragon robbed him, a young man in the village decided to go up the mountain to slay the dragon.
He took his sword and climbed over the mountains and ridges, and finally found the dragon's lair. After a fierce fight, the young man subdued the dragon and killed it.
At this time, the young man looked at the splendid treasures and the beautiful girl in the cave, and suddenly decided not to go down the mountain.
At this time, the remaining demonic energy of the evil dragon infected the young man, causing ferocious dragon horns to grow on his forehead. His hands and feet gradually turned into dragon claws, and dragon scales covered his body, and he became another person.
An evil dragon."
At this point in the story, with the intelligence of Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng, they can naturally understand the profound meaning.
This story is much more interesting than the lotus lantern that His Highness had before.
Wei Zheng said directly: "Your Highness, don't worry, there are ministers and others who will assist Your Highness, and they will die to advise His Highness."
He was very pleased that King Chu could reflect on himself so much.
At this moment, he was even more convinced that the King of Chu was the most suitable person to be the emperor.
Du Ruhui also followed: "It is a blessing for me and all the people that Your Highness can reflect on himself. If His Highness loses his true intention in the future, I will fight to the death to stop him."
Li Zhiyun laughed and said: "Don't worry, this story is not over yet."
"Your Highness, please continue."
After sorting out his words, Li Zhiyun's tone became slightly solemn.
"After the boy turned into an evil dragon, he continued to harm the mountain village. At this time, the Sun God in the Heavenly Palace incarnated as the Holy Master, and decided to go up to the mountain with several of his disciples to slay the dragon. The Master was the incarnation of the Sun and had unpredictable powers.
, they took the five magic weapons made by their husband and rushed into the evil dragon's lair, killing the evil dragon completely.
As the evil dragon died, it turned into a boy again. The gentleman knew that the evil dragon could never be killed. Because the evil dragon's evil spirit could not be eliminated, it would continue to be infected, but by this time it was too late.
, his disciples have grown dragon horns due to the infection of demonic energy before they have become saints due to insufficient cultivation.
The master used four magic weapons to fight against the disciples who were about to turn into evil dragons. The two sides were inextricably killed, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
In the end, the teacher failed to prevent the disciples from turning into evil dragons.
But the disciples also knew that they could not defeat the master who had a magic weapon in his hand, so they fled the cave one after another."
At this point, Li Zhiyun stopped.
Um?
Is the story over?
Although the second half of the story was very ridiculous, Wei Zheng listened with great interest. After Li Zhiyun stopped, he wondered: "Since the Sun God has five magical weapons, why did he only use four to deal with the disciple who turned into an evil dragon?
?”
Du Ruhui couldn't understand this question either.
Li Zhiyun chuckled and said meaningfully: "Because of the remaining one, sir, he pointed it at himself."
Hearing this, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng thought for a moment and were in awe. Although this was a fairy tale, the gentleman's character was undoubtedly worthy of their respect.
"If such a person really exists, he can be called a great husband through the ages." Du Ruhui said with emotion.
Wei Zheng took a deep breath and said: "People often say that three generations rule. In my opinion, if the story told by Your Highness is true, then the sun god is far beyond the three generations."
Li Zhiyun smiled softly. Not only did it far surpass three generations, it was simply unparalleled. It had never happened before Mr., and it would never happen again after Mr. Li.
Truly unprecedented and unprecedented.
Du Ruhui said: "Your Highness told this story, I understand the meaning in my heart. Please rest assured, Your Highness, although I am stupid, I also know the truth. If I change my mind in the future, please punish me."
"The same goes for me." Wei Zheng clasped his fists.
Li Zhiyun waved his hand and said: "You don't need to be nervous. I am just saying this to hope that you can stick to your true intentions in the future and not get lost. I hope that in the future, the history books will be full of literary and cultural words to shape your life and mine.
."
Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng stood up at the same time and bowed to Li Zhiyun.
"I will live up to His Highness's high expectations."
They knew very well that King Chu was revealing his feelings to them.
The king wants to create a prosperous age and pursue the rule of three generations!
As ministers, especially ambitious ministers like themselves, this is undoubtedly a huge temptation that they cannot refuse.
His reputation will remain in history for future generations to admire.
Glory during life, honor and sorrow after death, and a hundred years after death for others to look up to. This is the highest pursuit of a minister.
Li Zhiyun stood up, helped them up, and said with a smile: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time."
"yes."
Wei Zheng asked: "Your Highness, what happened next?"
"What happened next?"
"Those disciples turned into evil dragons and escaped from the cave. They will definitely cause trouble in the future. Should we just ignore them?"
Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "The gentleman didn't tell me the rest of the story. I only know that the Holy Master turned into the sun again and rose as usual. The gentleman shined his light on every mortal, making them all become
Became sir."
Du Ru thought darkly, Your Highness, this story ends in an anticlimax.
At this moment, Qin Qiong came over and reported: "Your Highness, after the final inspection and calculation, all the soldiers and horses of the East Palace have been captured. The Qi King's army also had very few left in the previous battle with the East Palace, and they were basically all controlled.
.In addition, the left and right Jinwu guards suffered the most heavy losses, with not one out of ten left. The same was true for the left and right Wei guards.
The left and right defenders are in good condition with little damage.
In addition, the generals of the East Palace, Feng Li, Yang Wenqian, Qiao Gongshan and others have all been executed, and Prince Qi’s Li Sixing and Yu Wenbao have also been executed.”
Li Zhiyun nodded and said: "Very good. With you and General Yuchi integrating the troops, I am very relieved. The situation is unclear at the moment, so you must guard the palace with King Rencheng."
"As ordered." Qin Qiong clasped her fists and stepped back.
Soon after, Li Zhiyun left to handle matters, leaving Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui standing there.
"Brother Wei, our challenge has just begun."
"That's right." Wei Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "But I think this is not a challenge, this is our dream. Your Highness is determined, and we, as ministers, should follow him to the death. In all dynasties, there are those who can be as introspective as His Highness.
, how many people can there be?
Your Highness’s original intention when telling fairy tales is to remind us.”
Du Ruhui nodded and said: "Brother Wei, the burden on us is very heavy. We need to do more self-examination in the future."
