"You really want to? If you fail..."

"After 18 years of failure, it's a good sweat. Wouldn't it be better to succeed." Wei Tong said with a smile, and Chen Su finally acquiesced.Even if he could knock him unconscious and take him away, so what?

He really liked the way Wei Tong's eyes glowed.

He likes this friend.

Stores under Wei Tong's name have also opened in Fuzhou, and Wei's name has been established in the past few years.The word Wei Tong still has some weight when thrown out, but it is not enough to throw this weight into the officialdom.

As a scholar, farmer, businessman, Wei Tong just made a name for himself at the bottom, and is still inconspicuous in the eyes of the highest-ranking "scholar".However, Wei Tong's visit was unusual, he stopped Fan Chengmo on his way home from get off work.

Numerous guards stood beside the carriage, looking at Wei Tong standing in the middle of the road for no reason, and the leading guard shouted: "Who is this? Don't you know this is the carriage of the governor? Get out quickly!" Wei Tong just said clearly: "Master Fan, do you still remember what happened three months ago?"

Fan Chengmo, who was sitting in the carriage, was reading a letter in his hand. Hearing this, something seemed to flash through his mind, but after a while, a cold voice sounded: "Weizhong, let him come up." The leader The guard seemed to have some complaints, but in the end he made way for Wei Tong to get into the carriage.Chen Su walked leisurely beside him holding his sword, completely ignoring the guards' hostility towards him.

Fan Chengmo is in his 40s and looks very thin. The deep gap between his brows reveals that he is a serious person. His eyes flashed from time to time. When Wei Tong got into the car, his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate his eyes. Body.It seems that you can tell the good or bad of this person directly with your eyes.

"You sent the letter three months ago?" Fan Chengmo said in a low voice. The inexplicable deterrence made people not dare to be presumptuous easily.After Wei Tong sat down, he nodded.

"How did you know that Geng Jingzhong was bound to rebel?" Fan Chengmo didn't seem to believe it. A young man who looked like he was only 20 years old would act so boldly. Geng Jingzhong stopped his carriage on the street again.

Wei Tong said softly: "Then why, my lord, would you believe the letters that Cao Min inexplicably appeared on your desk?" Fan Chengmo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wei Tong. Fierce loyalty.

In July of the 12th year of Kangxi, Fan Chengmo went to Fujian, but when he took office, he found that most of the officials in Fujian only knew King Jingnan and did not know that there was a sage.On weekdays, the strength of Geng Jingzhong's troops has reached 10,000+, and these news are revealed by him bit by bit.

However, it is easy to find out the news, but it is very difficult to send it out.The whole Fuzhou is like Geng Jingzhong's back garden, all the channels are firmly guarded by him. Of course, Fan Chengmo, the governor of Fujian, naturally has his own means. The news was finally sent out, but it also aroused Geng Jingzhong's suspicion .

Fan Chengmo had guessed that the three vassal kings would never sit still when the rumors about cutting the vassals first broke out. By the time he actually arrived in Fuzhou, the turmoil had intensified, and Geng Jingzhong's various performances had indeed made him suspicious. And not long after he arrived in Fuzhou, he received an inexplicable secret letter, which was directly placed on the desk in his study.The things in the envelope were all in his mind, and the owner of the letter also suggested that he dispatch troops earlier, otherwise Fujian would be in danger.

Originally, he had plans after the Chinese New Year, but after seeing the letter in his hand, for some reason, he suddenly moved forward the original time. During this time, many people have actually been mobilized nearby.

"Master Fan, if King Jingnan is held hostage, will you be able to control the overall situation in Fujian?" Wei Tong said with a smile, while Fan Chengmo, who was asked by him, just said in a cold voice: "It's natural, but what do you plan to do?" Do something?"

"It's not what Caomin intends to do, but what King Jingnan intends to do, and Caomin can do something." The smile on Wei Tong's face deepened, "Master Fan, please accept the two of us as bodyguards."

……

In March of the 12th year of Kangxi, Geng Jingzhong, king of Jingnan, made frequent changes. On the eighth day of March, he suddenly invited Fan Chengmo to a banquet, saying that he had important matters to discuss.Fan Chengmo couldn't evade it, but Geng Jingzhong asked again the next day, saying that pirates endangered the border, and his words were even tougher.

When he received the invitation, Fujian Governor Liu Bingzheng was standing next to Fan Chengmo. He persuaded him, "My lord, the King of Jingnan has repeatedly invited you. Is it not good for you not to go? After all, he is also a prince. You have repeatedly refused." , it will not be very good for you in the future... "

Fan Chengmo's eyes fell lightly on Liu Bingzheng, and Liu Bingzheng couldn't help shivering at the emotionless temperature, as if the clues in his heart were clearly seen, and before he had time to say anything, Fan Chengmo had already turned his eyes away, and ordered Go on: "Go back to King Jingnan and say that Fan will definitely attend the appointment tomorrow."

On the tenth day of March, Fan Chengmo went to the appointment. At that time, Jingnan Prince’s Mansion was full of singing and dancing. The 30-year-old Geng Jingzhong sat in the first place, watching the dancers in the audience laugh. He is a strong man, showing the king in every gesture His demeanor, the gleam in his eyes made people dare not look directly at him.Fan Chengmo was sitting next to him, and although there were a few guards kneeling behind him, they all took off their knives and did not carry weapons.

Geng Jingzhong held a glass of wine and said to Fan Chengmo: "My lord, is there something wrong with the dancing girl under the stage? Why do you still look sad?" Posting to the minister, the minister will naturally have a sad face and can't open his face."

Choked back by Fan Chengmo's cold words, Geng Jingzhong didn't get angry, but put down his glass and sighed, "What the governor said is very reasonable. If this is the case, you all go down." His voice was very thick, and with With his words, all the music, singing and dancing stopped immediately, the dancer and singer quietly left the stage, and the room that was originally full of music was suddenly silent.

"The lord ordered the minister to come here, what is the important thing?" Fan Chengmo's character has always been like this, he is serious in doing things, and he is serious.Geng Jingzhong was naturally clear, and said with a smile: "Although there is indeed something important to discuss, the governor is too blunt. Why don't you make plans after the wine and food?"

"I think the important things you said are more important."

Wei Tong, who was kneeling behind Fan Chengmo, bowed his head and said nothing, but secretly observed Geng Jingzhong. He looked extremely powerful, and the sturdy aura all over his body would make the timid tremble just by sitting. The appearance of glib tongue.However, at the next moment, Geng Jingzhong's words made the whole room tense; "In this case, please tell me, the governor, how to write the word loyalty?"

Fan Chengmo said indifferently: "Loyalty is in my heart, I believe that the prince doesn't need others to teach him, so he should know."

"Hahahahahaha, the words of the governor really won the heart of this king. Since I only know how to write the character Zhong, what do other people's words have to do with this king?" Geng Jingzhong looked very He was delighted, and then clapped his hands and laughed and said, "May I ask the governor, do you know what this king is thinking now? Recently, this king has learned a great thing, and I am also excited. I just want to share it with the governor. Let's be happy together."

"I'm not interested. If it's about pirates, I'll only feel angry; if it's Wu Sangui's rebellion, I'll be ashamed." Fan Chengmo said word by word.

"You're right." Geng Jingzhong suppressed his smile, looked at Fan Chengmo silently, and said calmly after a long time.Wei Tong, who was standing in front of Fan Chengmo, was stunned, wait, this is different than expected!He didn't expect Geng Jingzhong to directly poke at that point because of Fan Chengmo's words, and it didn't match the personality that Fan Chengmo told him at the beginning.Geng Jingzhong is as meticulous as a hair, calm and steady, it is extremely rare for him to express his intentions rashly and directly.

"This king has tens of thousands of troops, and he is at ease in Fujian. He doesn't interfere with the emperor's affairs, and don't invite the emperor to interfere with this king's affairs. Since you have already planned to cut down the feudal clan, why should you save face for each other?" Jingnan Wang's steady voice sounded, and what he said was well-founded, but it was just air in Fan Chengmo's ears: "The king wants his subjects to die, so he has to die."

"If the emperor tells you to die immediately, is it possible that the governor will die immediately?"

"If it is right, I will draw my sword and kill myself immediately; if not, I will draw my sword and kill myself after persuading me."

Geng Jingzhong kicked the table in front of him over, and the whole table flipped a few times in the air and then hit the door directly, making a loud noise.

"Yuzhong!" He scolded, but Wei Tong felt a strange feeling in his heart.Because apart from anger in Geng Jingzhong's voice, there was also a very subtle trace of worry.Is this worry for himself... or for Fan Chengmo?However, if the two had old friends, it was impossible for Fan Chengmo not to reveal the slightest bit.

"Fan Chengmo, if you surrender today, the king of Japan will surely protect you forever. If you still hold on to that so-called idea, then you won't be able to get out of Prince Geng's mansion today!" Just as the guards on both sides of the palace were staring at him, the guards Wei Tong, who was in front of Fan Chengmo, suddenly took a step forward, and said in a deep voice, "Does Prince Jingnan really think he has to rebel?"

Geng Jingzhong raised his eyes and found that it was a guard, spinning his glass lazily, and said in a low voice, "So what if you are? So what if you are not?"

"If yes, I have nothing to say about the lowly position. If not, I implore the prince to think twice." Facing such a condensed atmosphere, the voice of the guard in front of him was very calm, without the slightest tremor.

"Guan Zhong has a saying: warehouses know etiquette, and food and clothing know honor and disgrace. Today, the world has been stable for decades. Although the people are somewhat separated, the people's living and working in peace and contentment prove that the current emperor is a good emperor, and good things will naturally be supported. If wars are caused by the actions of the prince, even if you post a list and announce it to the world, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the end." "The one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Now the people live and work in peace and contentment. The signboard of "Anti-Qing and Fuming" can attract some attention, but just like the previous dozens of dynasties, for the common people, they don't care who the ruler is, they only care about what the ruler will bring to them.

"You don't think you're threatening the authority of the emperor, but the existence of a king with a different surname is a danger to the imperial power. Your lord, you don't know this truth. Compared with going to war with the imperial court, you will end up losing both sides. If you can get a compromise The midpoint is more appropriate."

After Wei Tong noticed Geng Jingzhong's slight hesitation, he abandoned the original plan within a few seconds and changed his mind.Of course, it’s okay if you fail. This plan was a bit risky, but fortunately, we have arranged for a back-up, so we don’t go through this in vain.
