Chapter 147 Ice-walking Blade Junqi King looked at Ling Yuechong and Qin Zhongxu, "Everyone should go back to me now. Those who are alive will go back naturally. You don't need to wait here for the result. This is the order of the king."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing who the king's heart was, let alone what he meant. In the end, they still knelt down and left the courtyard of Youlong Palace. Even King Junqi also wanted to leave.
, King Junqi glanced at Ouyang Hengxi before leaving, "You probably didn't expect that you would lose your life because of your position as Taifu." "I won't think about things that won't happen." Ouyang Hengxi said nonchalantly.
fight back.
King Junqi stared at Ouyang Hengxi silently with sharp eyes, and finally left Youlong Palace with an unpredictable smile. Ouyang Hengxi looked up at the majestic Youlong Palace gate and smiled slowly. In this world, can
The person who made him willing to die was definitely not Yu Guo, the person who was about to step into the coffin.
Ouyang Hengxi and Dong Jie entered the Youlong Palace together, knelt down and saluted the people on the bed, "Common people see the king." "Ahem, cough." The first thing that came out was not the word 'free of ceremony' but the word 'free of ceremony'.
There were coughs one after another, and the hoarse voice made people worry about him, fearing that he would leave just because of a cough. After the coughs, a voice as dry as a dry well came out from the gauze curtain, "No courtesy." Ouyang Heng.
Xi and Dong Jie stood up from the ground. They had long heard that the king of the country was nearly eighty years old. In this era, it is not easy to be alive when he is nearly eighty years old. Therefore, Ouyang Hengxi could imagine how weak his body was.
Arrived.
"Everyone has their own opinions on your answers. Each has its own merits. However, it is not just about talent that can help you stay by the prince's side. The prince is the future leader of the Yu Kingdom, and the people around him are all carefully selected. The current prince is
Of course, Fu must be careful. One of you is General Ling's favorite general, and the other is a talent recommended by Prime Minister Qin. To be honest, I can't tell which of you is suitable for the position of Taifu just through the few words you wrote.
, so I want to test you personally." The hoarse voice came from the throat, and if you didn't listen carefully, you really wouldn't know what he was talking about, just because there was too much hoarseness in the voice.
Dong Jie knelt down again, "The common people are lucky enough to have the leader of the country see him die without regrets. The people will do their best to answer the questions raised by the king." Although Dong Jie is the number one scholar in civil and military affairs, he does not have any official position, so he can only call himself himself.
He is a grassroots citizen, and this is the first time he has seen the leader of the Yu Kingdom. The leader was also critically ill when he was in high school, so he could not see the leader. "Get up." A trembling voice came from inside the tent again.
came, but Ouyang Hengxi looked fearless and waited patiently for the title of the king.
"Come here." The king spoke again, "Bring the things up." The two slaves each brought a glass of wine and placed it in front of Ouyang Hengxi and Dong Jie. The same blue and white wine glasses were filled with fragrant wine.
Ouyang Hengxi and Dong Jie looked at each other and saw the confusion in the other's eyes.
"Now there are two glasses of wine in front of you, one of which is poisonous and one of which is non-toxic. The two of you can only choose one among them, which means that only one person can survive between the two of you, and the one who survives is
Taifu, since you all have chosen to step into this room, it means that you have put life and death at risk. In this case, start making choices now." The boring voice revealed an irresistible magic power. Although he is a
The old man is about to die, but he is also the overlord of a country.
Ouyang Hengxi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the method of deciding between life and death was so simple. It didn't depend entirely on luck. Dong Jie's nervous eyes were fixed on the wine glass in front of him. He never thought that he would make such a choice.
If there are other methods of competition, maybe he can still have some advantages. Now he only needs to make a choice. Isn't this a competition of luck? The man who was originally lying down slowly sat up and said, "Before you choose, you can ask me a question, no matter what
I will answer the question truthfully." Dong Jie was surprised, "What kind of question are you talking about, Lord?" "Since I said so, I am not afraid of you asking. If you want to ask me which of the two glasses of wine is not poisonous, I will do the same.
Tell him." The lord of the country seemed to have seen Dong Jie thoroughly and knew what he wanted to understand.
Dong Jie instantly understood why the king of the country was critically ill and did not need to worry about King Junqi's actions. He was too smart. He could see through his own mind with just one question. It was no wonder that King Junqi had been plotting for so long without success.
"Which of you will ask first?" After a heavy cough, the king added: "No matter what the question is, I will answer it truthfully. The one who asks first can be given priority." Dong Jie glanced at Ouyang Hengxi and said, "Brother Ouyang, don't you?
Who can ask first between you and me?"
"It doesn't matter." Ouyang Hengxi looked at the two wine glasses in front of him with an indifferent expression.
Dong Jie frowned and stared at Ouyang Hengxi. His expression was too calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was really thinking. It seemed that he really didn't care, but how could anyone in this world not care about life and death. Suddenly, the dark sky fell.
Black clouds gathered together, and soon there was lightning and thunder, and lightning split the dark sky, illuminating the faces of people in Youlong Palace intertwined with each other, the atmosphere became more solemn, life and death seemed to be at the same time
let's go.
The leader of the country suddenly pointed at Dong Jie, "You ask first." "Yes." Dong Jie suddenly felt happy. He didn't know if the leader's gesture meant that he was the candidate in his heart. Dong Jie looked at the person in front of him.
Dong Jie finally summoned up the courage to ask, "The common people would like to ask the king, which of the two glasses of wine placed in front of me will be safe to drink." Dong Jie asked the question that he most longed for the answer to, the most direct and direct one.
most valuable.
The rain outside suddenly started, and the sound of the wind became more violent. That's why the silence inside the house seemed so strange. After Dong Jie blurted out his question, Ouyang Hengxi clearly heard the sound coming from inside the gauze tent.
His deep laughter seemed to be mixed with a trace of disdain. He raised his eyes in confusion and looked at the figure sitting on the pillow in the tent. Could it be that he heard it wrong?
After Dong Jie asked the question, he was also sweating. However, since the leader of the country Jinkou Yuyan had a question, he must answer it, so after a short silence, he still gave the answer, "Wine on the left." Dong Jie let out a long sigh,
He stared at the wine glass on the left with bright eyes. After Ouyang Hengxi's questions were asked, he would be given priority for selection, so no matter what questions Ouyang Hengxi asked, it had nothing to do with him, and he could be chosen first.
He is the person.
"Ouyang Hengxi, do you want to continue?" The king coughed again, "Or give up directly, you have lost the opportunity. Even if you ask the question, you will not be the one to choose. If you choose now
If you voluntarily quit, your body will be preserved."
Ouyang Hengxi laughed, "The ruler of the country probably doesn't know the character of the common people. If the common people die, they would rather crush their bones and spread ashes than leave their whole bodies to attract insects and ants to eat them." "Since you insist on asking that."
Ouyang Hengxi glanced at Dong Jie and felt ridiculous for the self-confidence in his eyes, "Since the Lord is willing to answer any questions from the common people, then the common people will ask the questions that the common people are most concerned about. After asking the questions, I hope that the Lord will forgive me."
Sin." "Your words have aroused my interest. If you have any questions, just ask." The king did not shy away.
Ouyang Hengxi's red lips smiled slowly, her bright eyes flashed with unparalleled confidence, and her delicate voice trickled out, "Although the king is old, he knows the affairs of the DPRK like the back of his hand.
, now that the king is ill in bed, he is naturally aware of the overt and covert struggle between King Junqi and the prince. One is the king's favorite, and the other is the king's biological brother. Faced with the struggle between these two people for the throne, ordinary people want to know
Who is the future ruler of the country that the country leader likes in his heart?"
The heavy rain was raging outside, and the room was completely silent. Even the two servants holding wine glasses looked at Ouyang Hengxi in disbelief, as if they still couldn't believe that he would ask such a question. Dong Jieze knelt on the ground with a plop.
, his forehead was pressed tightly against the ground, his body was stiff and he even breathed cautiously, for fear that Ouyang Hengxi's question would anger the king and the two of them would fall to the ground.
The dry voice of the monarch sounded, "What did you say?" "The common people are asking the monarch, who is the successor in your heart, your son or your brother." Ouyang Hengxi asked again calmly,
Regarding the gloomy indifference in the monarch's tone, "Didn't the monarch just say that you can ask any kind of question? Why are the common people just asking such a simple question and the monarch can't give an answer?"
"Bold!" The king roared loudly, and Dong Jie's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. The servant who was serving the wine also knelt on the ground. Only Ouyang Hengxi stood upright, unafraid and determined to wait for him.
The answer is, "The ruler of the country has not yet answered the common people's question."
"If you dare to ask such a question, you are not afraid that I will execute you right now."
Ouyang Hengxi laughed, "Some questions are more attractive to ordinary people than death. If the ruler thought that ordinary people would ask some decent questions, he would probably be disappointed. But in the end, ordinary people mustered up the courage to take a gamble and ask.
The reason for this problem is that the common people believe that the ruler of the country is by no means a dishonest person."
Dong Jie knelt on the ground. He really couldn't figure out where this man Ouyang Hengxi came from. He dared to say such treasonous words to the king. He was completely a lunatic who was not afraid of death. What people are most afraid of is not
People who are more powerful than themselves are afraid of enemies who are willing to risk their lives. What's more terrifying than even risking their lives? Now it seems that Ouyang Hengxi is such a person.
Ouyang Hengxi looked at the figure in the gauze tent intently. He didn't want his life, but no one understood his confidence and strategy. "Master, the common people are waiting for your answer."
The room fell into a dead silence due to Ouyang Hengxi's pressing force. Only the rain outside the room kept coming. After a long time, another uncontrollable cough finally came from the gauze tent, "Ouyang Hengxi, my dear, now."
Let me tell you the answer, the only successor in my heart is Prince Bu Xiguo."
