Powerful ministers are husbands

The ship braved the wind and waves and headed south all the way.

On the bow deck, Ce Changshu slowly filled two glasses of wine, picked up one of them and said to the person opposite: "Isn't it your wish to visit Jiangnan in your lifetime? Although you can't see clearly now, but listen to it Listening to the sound of the wind and the waves of the river, it's good to be satisfied." After speaking, he handed the wine glass to the man's lips.

Pang Miao turned his head away, now his hands and feet were tied to the chair, unable to move, and there was another chain, one end clasped his ankle, and the other end was tied to the side of the boat. His defense was almost flawless, and he jumped into the river again and again to survive. It doesn't work either.

"Don't be like this." Ce Changshu sighed, "At least we've known each other for a month. I think you're kind and interesting. It's not impossible for us to be friends. It's a pity that you know things you shouldn't know. Push yourself to death." He leaned closer to Pang Miao, closed his eyes gently with his fingertips, "If you obediently followed that group of people to the south of the Yangtze River, maybe you wouldn't have to die, and everyone would have a happy ending. It was very hard Right? You and General Cao can only sneak around behind the scenes, and you can’t stand upright in front of everyone. We gave you a chance, but you don’t know how to cherish it. When you met me and guessed my intentions, then... you Really can only die."

Pang Miao didn't speak, the Holy One imitated Xue Weikai's incident, and wanted to use him to make Cao Lu stay in Jiangnan indefinitely to look for someone, but he didn't know that Cao Lu would leave without hesitating to remove the last obstacle for the Holy One.

A courtier with a high meritorious service is the emperor of all dynasties the last thing he likes to see.

Cao Lv has defended his family and defended his country for many years, made great military exploits, and stood at the top of the imperial court, holding a lot of power. Although he received an unfriendly evaluation from the people, he still has a very high status in the hearts of the people. Worshiped and praised by countless people.

But these finally made the Holy Majesty fear Cao Lv.

In the eyes of the common people, the Holy One is just a mediocre person who relies on his courtiers.

If he died and his bones were buried in a foreign land, no one would know about him except Chief Ce, and those who knew him would think that he ran madly to the south of the Yangtze River, and his life and death were unknown.And Cao Lvhui resigned from office and abstained from power, and would no longer pose any threat to the reputation and majesty of the Holy Majesty. He has been staying in the south of the Yangtze River to search, but in such a large place, even standing in front of the tomb, can he be identified from the dense bones? he?

One year, two years, ten years... How could a person who would live and die with him give up.

And he lived his life again, but he didn't believe that it would end like this in the end.

Yes, if you don’t believe me, it’s almost time for the clouds to bloom and the moon to shine. He will never give in to the status quo. As long as he lives for one day, there is still hope.

He kept trying, kept working hard, and there must be a chance to escape.

"Don't think about how to escape." Ce Changshu's sneer suddenly sounded, "You used to pretend to be a good one. An ordinary scholar with weak writing skills and hard work for many years finally passed the exam. Who would have thought that you are still a little clever?" , Just because you are blind and can walk back to Longmen Pass is not to be underestimated. There are only three things, you escaped once or twice, do you think I will be defenseless? You are not bad, so no Kill you immediately when I catch you, and show you the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan, but don't try to challenge my patience, or I will kill you right now."

He drew out the dagger, and the sharp and cold blade sliced ​​across Pang Miao's face, like a greasy snake.

Pang Miao felt a slight pain on his cheek, and Ce Changshu's finger swept across the blood line.

"Don't be afraid of life and death, but wait at the bank of the Wangchuan River first." Pang Miao finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse, "But if you kill karma recklessly, will there be good rewards after death? Since there is no way out , I just followed what you said, and listened carefully to the rumors on both sides of the strait. What? You tied me up like this, and you are still afraid that I will escape? "

"I don't care about what happens after death. It is enough to build a reputation that has been passed down for thousands of years." , want to have fun?"

Pang Miao said: "If you don't kill me, I only have two months to live, so I can say whatever I want. I'll just discuss the matter. Wouldn't it be good if the history of policy orders explained it?"

Chief Ce raised his eyebrows, "Are you seriously ill?"

"Yeah, haven't you seen it? I have a headache and I can't speak or act." Pang Miao was calm, his tone was as flat as a trickling stream, "Anyway, sooner or later, I will die in front of Cao Lv. It's better to have no whereabouts. It’s also good to leave a thought that maybe the person is still alive.”

The chief strategist didn't believe it, "That's really the case, why did you escape again and again and go back to the imperial capital to report the news?"

"The first time, I thought it was King Yan. The second time... Ye Luo returned to his roots, and he will die where he was born. Do you think Cao Lv can come back within two months?"

Ce Changshu drank two glasses of wine and stared straight at Pang Miao's young face.

But this time he made it clear that he was here to kill, so he would not soften his heart just because the other party was young, but suddenly felt a little pity.

Such an interesting person, always feel very happy together.

Pang Miao said again: "Thank you. If I were myself, I would not have the courage to commit suicide to end the pain. I feel that it is a day to live. Alas——the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful. If you think about it, it might be quite good if you bury your bones here. Yes, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, it can be regarded as returning to the most beautiful dust." Such detachment is only to make Ce Changshu believe that he is a dying person who sees everything clearly and relaxes his guard.Whether it succeeds or not, it is better to try than to sit still.

Ce Changshu put away the dagger, his tone was much gentler than before, and he changed the topic, "Do you know how the Holy Majesty knew about your relationship with Cao Lv?" Pang Miao probably said with interest.

"I would like to hear the details. At this time, there is no need to restrain your curiosity, right?"

The chief strategist gave a dry laugh, "The time I met you in the Jinbao Building, I guessed that you and Cao Lv had an unusual relationship, and although there are rumors in the market that the relationship between the two of you is very bad because of the death of your sister, according to my observation , Cao Lv can be said to disdain to fight against a small person like you, but his gang of confidants may not be sure." He looked at the quiet Pang Miao, quickly avoided his sight, got up and walked to the side of the boat, looking at the vast Tangtang. Jiang Shui, "Some of them will not tolerate you spreading rumors in the market, but the strange thing is that no one has done anything to you. Why? Because your bad relationship is just pretending.

"Actually, if you had explained to me earlier why you were in Jinbao Building that day, maybe I would have believed it and would not have mentioned a single word to others. It is a pity that you came late, so the current situation is caused by yourself. Yes. At that time, the Holy Majesty was already looking for Cao Lv’s weakness, and your abnormality became one of the methods the Holy Majesty used to deal with Cao Lv. But it’s useless to speculate, you have to have factual evidence. It just so happened that the opportunity came, and you saved the eldest prince. Your Highness, the Holy Majesty rewarded you in the name of a reward, do you remember anything?"

Pang Miao recalled the box of gifts, "The pen, ink and inkstone, and... a box of incense pills." He suddenly remembered it.

One day he fell on Cao Lv's official uniform and noticed that the clothes smelled wrong, but later he forgot about it because of a nosebleed.Could it be that box of incense pills...

The chief strategist saw that his face turned paler, and replied: "Yes, it is the box of incense pills. The Holy Majesty ordered someone to add some special ingredients to the incense pills, which are difficult for ordinary people to smell. This box of incense pills has never been rewarded by the Holy Majesty." To Cao Lu. But one day, the Holy Majesty smelled this fragrance from Cao Lu's clothes."

Pang Miao's fingers trembled slightly. His Majesty had exhausted his mind to deal with Cao Lv...

"When it was confirmed, it was still surprising..." Ce Changshu stretched his waist towards Jiang Mian, showing a meaningful smile, "At that time, I thought that the relationship between you and Cao Lv was not as simple as brother and brother-in-law. Why did you get so close in such a short period of time? Let the high-ranking General Cao sneak in and out of Pang's house, and in and out of your bedroom, and even the smell lasted for a long time. Your Majesty thinks...the person who married into Cao's house was actually you ,Right?"

Pang Miao was noncommittal, and Ce Changshu talked about this, no amount of excuses would be futile.

At this point, he didn't want to deny his relationship with Cao Lv in front of others.

The chief strategist had nothing to do, he was so bored that he played with his belt, and never looked at Pang Miao again.

He had a strange feeling in his heart, simply felt it was a pity, but he would not be reluctant to do so.

Cao Lu is the pillar of the Cao family, as long as Cao Lu is gone, Cao Zheng is old and useless, and the Cao family is almost finished.At that time, it was the Zhao family that really started to rise. For the Zhao family he was attached to, he could do anything ruthlessly. After all, only the Zhao Luo family will be trusted by the Holy Majesty from now on.

"Afterwards, every time you came to me, was it to spy on me and Cao Lu?" Pang Miao asked suddenly.

Taotao Jiangbo was reflected in Ce Zhangshu's deep eyes, he stroked the mustache on his lips, and a sneering smile slipped from the corner of his mouth, "Yes."

Pang Miao sighed quietly: "It seems that in my life, I have still made a friend who is not worth making."

Ce Changshu was startled, and did not speak again.

Four days later, the sky was gloomy, with big dark clouds piling up in the sky. It was almost noon, but it still looked like morning, and it was so oppressive that people could not breathe. Things fell to the ground in all directions, sliding left and right with the shaking of the ship.

Pang Miao listened attentively to the movement. There was rarely anyone around him. The chair was firmly tied to the pillar, and the shaking of the ship did not affect him too much.

After a long time, he heard Ce Changshu shouting loudly from outside: "We are almost at the pier."

Pang Miao slowly opened his eyes. Because of the cover of the dark clouds, the light was not too glaring for him. Through the open window, he could only see the color of water, and he could not distinguish the sky from the earth.The wind from the river blows head-on, whistling at the window, and the papers on the case are blown away like butterflies.

His chance also came.
