Treacherous ministers have deep routines

Chapter 448 Powerless Zhang Tian

The ministers supported him, and Wei Man ascended the throne.

Everything was being prepared in a hurry, without too much scale, and without too much ostentation, Wei Man soon ascended to the position of emperor.

After ascending the throne, a state banquet was held, and officials from all over the country went to Beijing to pay homage to the new emperor, and it became lively.

Prefects, state herdsmen, and governors from all over the country have entered Beijing one after another. Now Wei Man is in power, and he has controlled so many soldiers and horses. In this way, the situation is set.

The state banquet was very lively, the rules were not low, and they were cumbersome. Officials entered the banquet hall one after another.

Wei Man was preparing in the bedroom at this time. He used to wear the general's clothes, but today he changed into the emperor's clothes. It's not that he doesn't feel comfortable, but to be honest, he is a little emotional.

Lin Rang walked in from outside the hall. Wei Man was sitting in front of the mirror. When he saw Lin Rang's image, he didn't need to wait for the internal supervisor to notify him. He stood up quickly, strode over, took Lin Rang's hand, and said: " Why are you here now?"

Lin Rang did not live in the dormitory yesterday, because it was against the rules. Wei Man had just ascended the throne, so he was afraid of causing trouble for him.

The second is that Lin Rang is going to pick up people from Luzhou.

Today is a state banquet, officials from Luzhou will come to worship, even the old general Wu Wentai who was stationed in Luzhou before will come to Beijing, and Wu Wentai's youngest daughter, Princess Lingxiang, will also go to Beijing together, so Lin Rang naturally Going to pick it up.

Lin Rang said, "I was delayed on the way."

Wei Man said, "It must be that girl Xiang'er who is holding you back."

Lin Rang smiled. Princess Lingxiang really held on to Lin Rang. After all, they had a very good relationship. Lin Rang was a cold person, and only Princess Lingxiang dared to act like a spoiled child to Lin Rang.

Do not……

There is also Wei Man, who often "acts like a baby" to Lin Rang.

Wei Man immediately said to Lin Rang: "From now on, you are not allowed to get close to others, you only need to get close to me."

Wei Man has already ascended the throne, although he has not had time to ascend the throne in the future, but now he has changed to call himself Zhen, and he is no longer the only leader of one party.

After tidying up, Wei Man said to Lin Rang, "Come over with me."

Lin Rang thought for a while, before he could speak, Wei Man had already grabbed his hand and said, "Go, don't think about anything else."

Wei Man pulled Lin Rang, and the two of them stood up and walked out of the bedroom. The palace guards guided the two of them to the banquet hall.

The banquet hall was extremely lively, and the courtiers were chatting in groups of three or four. Suddenly, there was no sound, and then they all fell to the ground, shouting: "See the Son of Heaven!"

Wei Man and Lin Rang walked in from the door, Wei Man quickly became the chief executive, and Lin Rang sat in the courtier's banquet with officials from Luzhou.

Wei Man said some pompous words, and the banquet soon started. Many people rushed to toast Wei Man, all trying to curry favor with Wei Man, saying all the nice things one by one.

Xiao Lingxiang ran to Lin Rang and said, "My lord, why don't you toast the emperor?"

Lin Rang said: "There are so many people around, let's talk when there are fewer people."

Xiao Lingxiang hated iron for being weak and said: "My lord, you don't understand. Others are rushing to flatter you. If you don't take the initiative, you will fall out of favor!"

Lin Rang looked down at Xiao Lingxiang, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Do you still know how to fall out of favor?"

Xiao Lingxiang put her hands behind her back, and the old god said, "That's a natural duck!"

Lin Rang didn't like places with many people. After all, it was inevitable that there would be some physical contact in crowded places. With so many people surrounding Wei Man, he would never go there.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion in the crowd, and Wei Man came over on his own initiative, raised his wine glass and earcups, and said to Lin Rang: "The governor is the hero who put down the rebellion this time, I respect the governor."

Everyone saw that Wei Man went to respect Lin Rang in person, and they all had some plans in their hearts. They had heard about the name of the governor of Luzhou for a long time, and they followed Wei Man all the time. It can be said that they are loyal, and this time they also helped Wei Man ascend the throne. , He is the hero among the heroes, and he must not be offended.

So everyone began to toast to Lin Rang again.

Wei Man made a toast to himself, but stopped others to toast, saying: "Everyone, the governor doesn't drink well, so please don't toast."

When everyone saw it, they had no choice but to give up.

Wei Man did not leave after the toast, but sat next to Lin Rang, sat down directly, and said, "Is the food delicious? Don't drink too much. If you go crazy with wine, I won't be able to stop you."

Xiao Lingxiang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, isn't it very charming that our young master is drinking like crazy?"

Wei Man couldn't help laughing, and said, "Charming? Killing is more or less the same."

Lin Rang didn't just look like he was drunk, he used knives and guns, and chased Wei Man for acupuncture. Every time Wei Man was "ridden with holes" and had no luck.

Xiao Lingxiang said: "Your Majesty, after you ascend the throne, you must treat our young master well! You should be single-minded and not half-hearted, you know?"

Wei Man shook his head and said, "No."

Xiao Lingxiang immediately turned anxious, and said, "No?"

Wei Man said, "It's not your son."

He said, put his arms around Lin Rang's shoulders, and said with a smile, "It's mine alone."

Xiao Lingxiang: "..." Caught off guard and ate a mouthful of dog food, it was so tiresome!

Wei Man has been sitting next to Lin Rang without leaving, and even made small movements, holding Lin Rang's hand under the table, and the two of them held hands and interlocked their fingers.

Lin Rang didn't show any expression on his face, but he sighed in his heart. Fortunately, this is not modern, and there are no paparazzi cameras or the like. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a matter of being exposed every minute like this interlocking fingers?

After everyone had drunk for three rounds, Wei Man stood up and said, "Everyone, be quiet, I have something to say."

The officials immediately fell silent, and all sat down and looked at Wei Man.

Wei Man stood in the middle of the banquet hall and said: "I have just ascended the throne, there are still many things I am not familiar with in the court, and I need you to remind me a lot."

"I dare not!"

Everyone hurriedly shouted and kowtowed.

Wei Man also said: "Although the rebellion has been quelled, the situation in the court is not stable, the people are in dire straits, and there are still many things to be resolved. Therefore, I think that the most urgent task is to appoint a prime minister and choose a prime minister to assist me in appeasing the world. .”

After he finished speaking, without waiting for everyone to express their views, he had already set his eyes on Lin Rang, and said immediately: "The governor of Luzhou is loyal to me, and has saved me from fear of difficulties again and again. , won the hearts of the people, I thought it was popular, what do you guys think?"

It was not unexpected that Lin Rang became the prime minister, but when the words came out, the crowd was still a little noisy.

Lin Rang's military power is not small, and he has merged a lot along the way. In addition, he practiced medicine to save people, and he was loyal to the people.

But the problem lies in these four words. His prestige is too high. In this way, everyone has no idea. To put it bluntly, they have no sense of security and are afraid of him.

Everyone was afraid and jealous at the same time, they all felt that this Lin Rang was too young and climbed too high.

Someone wanted to refute, Lu Jinyu was the first to kneel down, cupped her hands and said, "The emperor is wise!"

As soon as he knelt down, Wu Yan quickly knelt down too, people in Luzhou knelt down one after another, and everyone else who knew him knelt down, and the court knelt down by a third.

Wei Man smiled slightly, with a smile on his face, his eyes looked like a smile but not a smile, and he glanced at the people who were still standing. When those people saw Wei Man's eyes, Wei Man might have made up his mind. Not much good.

Therefore, everyone also knelt down and kowtowed.

Wei Man held Lin Rang back and said, "Okay, from now on, it's not the governor of Luzhou, but my... prime minister."

The prime minister was canonized at the state banquet, and Lin Rang could be said to have ascended to the sky in one step. He was an extremely human minister, and there was no possibility of rising further.

Lin Rang didn't care much about his supremacy, so he still had to do what he should.

At the state banquet, all officials from all over the country went to Beijing to worship and presented tributes and congratulatory gifts, but only one person did not come.

With a "snap!", Wei Man threw the impeachment document on the case table, and said coldly, "Okay, what a martial virtue!"

Lin Rang glanced at it. Several documents on the case were impeachment of Wu De, the governor of Chuzhou, saying that he succeeded as the governor of Chuzhou privately, and he did not make a list. Everyone went to the palace to worship, but Wu De did not enter the capital, and remained silent.

This kind of behavior is simply provoking Wei Man's majesty, how could Wei Man not be angry?

Moreover, Wei Man has just ascended the throne, if such a person is not punished, then where is the emperor's might?From now on, no one will obey the emperor's orders.

At this moment, Yang Yue ran over to "make trouble".

It turned out that Yang Yue was among those who impeached Wu De.

Yang Yue likes to be petty and cheap, so how could he be absent if such a thing happened?

You must know that the core of Chuzhou is far away from the capital, but it is not very far from Wuhan County. If Chuzhou is finished, maybe Yang Yue can get some benefits.

Therefore, Yang Yue rushed forward to impeach Wu De, and he was the most vicious impeachment.

Now Yang Yue came to the palace again to see Wei Man.

As soon as he walked into the palace, he saw Lin Rang at first sight. Lin Rang was wearing the official robe of a prime minister, which was different from his usual "slovenly" appearance.

Yang Yue's eyes brightened instantly, and then Wei Man gave him a hard stare.

Wei Man is now the emperor, and Yang Yue can't afford to offend him, so he shrank his neck in desperation and started talking about business.

Yang Yue cupped his hands and said: "My lord, this martial virtue is too arrogant. When my lord ascended the throne, not only did he not attend the state banquet, nor did he go to Beijing to pay homage, but he didn't even make a sound. Such behavior is simply contemptuous of the lord's heavenly power." I also ask the owner to strictly investigate Wude and never tolerate it!"

What Yang Yue said was very righteous Ling Ran, Lin Rang glanced at him lightly, and seemed to understand in his heart that no one was better than Yang Yue in this round of sowing dissension.

How could Wei Man not know that he was sowing discord?But Wei Man is in a fit of anger, and what Yang Yue said makes sense, if Wu De is let go, what about Tian Wei?

Wei Man let out a "Boom!!!" and slapped the desk hard, saying: "Wu De is rampant kid, I will never let him go."

Seeing them like this, Lin Rang picked up the impeachment document and looked at it, and said calmly: "Wu De is not a person who acts on his own will, nor is he a person who does not know the importance. It must be no stranger."

When he said this, both Wei Man and Yang Yue calmed down, and after thinking about it, it was indeed the case.

Wu De has never been a "big or small" person. Logically speaking, he has just accepted Chuzhou and has not been officially recognized by the court. It is better to take advantage of this time to pay tribute to Wei Man to make Wei Man recognize him.

But Wu De did not do this, Wu De was uncharacteristically.

Lin Rang said: "Wu De is uncharacteristically, so he must have his own trump card, maybe something is brewing, the owner must not act rashly, because small things lose big things."

When Yang Yue heard it, it was the truth, but what Lin Rang said was too explicit. Why did the small lose the big? Was this kind of rhetoric addressed to the emperor?

Wei Man is a typical person who prefers softness to toughness, and he might get angry if he is afraid.

Who knew that Wei Man became the master, and he was exactly the same as usual. In fact, it can be said that Lin Rang was exactly the same as usual.

Wei Man smiled and said to Lin Rang, "Fortunately, the prime minister reminded me."

Yang Yue: "..." Why is it different from what I imagined?

Wei Man also said: "Wu De has always been thoughtful and thoughtful, and now I will send someone to send a spy to investigate Chuzhou carefully."

Lin Rang nodded and said: "That's exactly the case. The owner's focus now should not be on how to deal with martial arts, but on public opinion."

"public opinion?"

Wei Man had doubts, and Lin Rang said: "The former emperor died, and troops from all over the country flocked to the capital, and the Tong Gao Rebellion of the year was repeated. Although the owner has contained the rebellion to a minimum, the local troops flocked to the capital. At that time, even if there is no war, the army will rob the people of food and supplies to fill their luggage. In this way, every time there is a war, the people will be in dire straits..."

Yang Yue glanced at Wei Man from the left, and Lin Rang from the right. It was obvious that he came to ask to see him, why...

Why do you seem to be an extra person?Did these two people forget that they were still standing in front of them?

Wei Man nodded upon hearing Lin Rang's words, and sighed, "Yes."

Lin Rang said: "The current leader is already the emperor, and is no longer the leader of one party at that time. In addition to raising troops and fighting wars, he should pay more attention to the hearts of the people. The consequences of the people's poor livelihood are only complaints. Therefore, the leader can't help but focus on governance. Above the people, open the treasury, give relief to refugees, and even... personally donate food. Only in this way can the people's hearts be strengthened and the position consolidated."

After all, Wei Man's surname is not Wu, and he is not from the Wu family. He has been criticized to some extent in the court, and only by grasping the hearts of the people can he grasp the fundamentals.

Wei Man said: "The prime minister is right. I'll let people prepare the food. Starting tomorrow, I'll give away the food myself, okay?"

Lin Rang nodded, with a slight smile on his face.

Yang Yue glanced left and right again, standing on the spot as a light bulb.

Wei Man gave Yang Yue a blank look, wondering why he was still here, unable to read other people's eyes.

So he simply said, "Yang Yue, it's getting late, you can step back."

"Yes, Lord."

After Yang Yue knelt down and bowed, he was about to leave the bedroom.

Lin Rang also said: "It's not early, the minister will leave first."

"Wait a minute."

Wei Man stopped Lin Rang and said, "Don't go, the Prime Minister's Mansion is too far away from here, you come here during the day and leave at night, it's a waste of time to come back and forth, besides, it's getting late , carriages and horses are not easy to travel, and the gate of the palace will be closed soon, so you just stay here."

When Yang Yue retreated to the door, he heard Wei Man's voice urging Lin Rang to stay. He cut his heart and thought to himself, just now he said that it was getting late, so he asked himself to retreat, and now he said that it was getting late and the road was not easy to walk. Let the prime minister stay.

Well, whether to retreat or to stay, it turns out that it depends on the dishes!

Yang Yue felt unhappy, and went to the carriage department angrily. When he got to the carriage, he saw the dark carriage department. Then he remembered, slapped his head, and said, "Oops! I came here with my elder brother. The one who came by car, the eldest brother has already left, do you want to walk out of the palace?"

Yang Yue was filled with remorse, and at this moment, with a sound of "Wow!", a carriage parked at the corner of the carriage and horse department suddenly opened the curtain of the carriage, accompanied by a chuckle.

Yang Yue turned his head to look, and said pleasantly, "Old Yu?"

The person sitting in the car was undoubtedly Yu Ziyuan.

Yu Ziyuan came into the palace today, and he could have gone out a long time ago, because he saw Yang Yue entering the palace in a hurry, so he planned to wait for him, but he happened to be waiting for Yang Yue who had no carriages and horses to leave the palace.

Yu Ziyuan looked at him through the car window. Because the sky was dark, Yang Yue felt that there was a gentle smile on his brows and eyes, which was very gentle and touching.

Yu Ziyuan said, "Mr. Yang, do you want a ride?"

Without saying a word, Yang Yue jumped into the car and said impatiently, "Go to your house."

Yu Ziyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Duke Yang wants to stay out at night, isn't he afraid of being punished by the prefect of Zhao Liang?"

Yang Yue said: "What are you afraid of! If I am a ghost, I will also be a romantic ghost!"

Yang Yue woke up from the carriage on the second day. The carriage was parked in the wilderness. He almost thought that Yu Ziyuan was going to drag him out and bury him.

But Lin Rang woke up from the dragon couch the next day, so the treatment was completely different.

The sky is already bright, there is no court meeting today, and there is no court meeting. Wei Man actually woke up a long time ago, but seeing Lin Rang's hard work, he didn't bother him. He lay quietly on the side and watched with his eyes. Lin Rang looked up, down, left, and right for a closer look.

Later, Lin Rang couldn't bear the searchlight-like gaze, and was woken up by the "jaw".

He squinted his eyes and rubbed them to block the incoming sunlight, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Wei Man's "prosperous beauty".

Wei Man's hoarse voice smiled in Lin Rang's ear and said, "My prime minister, it's time to get up, and I'm going to give food today, have you forgotten?"

Lin Rang was coaxed by Wei Man to get up. After freshening up, Wei Man gave him a brand new set of prime minister's official robes.

Lin Rang said in surprise: "Why does the owner have Rang's official robe?"

Wei Man opened a cabinet, and there were official robes and hats neatly stacked inside. There were about seven or eight sets in a row, all of which were Lin Rang's prime minister's official uniforms.

Wei Man smiled very proudly, and said: "From now on, you will rest here every day, and you can change your clothes every day. I have already prepared it for you."

Lin Rang: "..."

After tidying up, the two went out of the palace to prepare food.

Although it was only yesterday that people were asked to make preparations, but this morning, the preparations for the food distribution have been completed, and the scale is very large.

The new Lord personally donated food for the people. Such a thing was unprecedented. The people did not believe in evil at first, but later they really had to believe it. Many refugees came here after hearing the news.

Wei Man was laying out food when he heard a loud noise and asked loudly, "What's the noise?"

Lin Rang went over to take a look, then came back and said, "There are refugees outside the city. I heard that the city is selling food, so I want to go into the city to get food."

The officials following Sheliang heard that the refugees wanted to enter the capital?That's okay?

"Your Majesty, you must not let refugees into Beijing!"

"That's right, how can these refugees be allowed to run wild in an important place in the capital?"

"If these refugees enter the capital, it will be okay? If assassins get in there, wouldn't it be bad?"

Everyone said what they said, some who disliked refugees, and some who said it was on point.

Wei Man thought for a while, pondered for a while, and said, "Put the refugees in, organize them all, and distribute food together."

"The emperor! The emperor can't do it!"

"Your Majesty, how can these dirty refugees enter the capital?"

"In case there are assassins..."

Wei Man had already raised his hand, interrupted their words, and said: "My people are treated equally, there is no distinction between dirty and noble... In addition, I have already said, organize these refugees to distribute food, don't fight with them. The people in the city are confused, and if there is an accident, they can be distinguished, and after the food is distributed, let them go back the same way."

Although the courtiers had objections, they had nothing to say now.

Soon a large number of refugees entered Xuanyang, and Wei Man went there to donate food in person.

The refugees haven't eaten food for a long time, especially the refugees around Xuanyang. These troops stationed around Xuanyang need supplies. They are reluctant to spend their luggage, so they burn, kill and loot the people's things.

The people around Xuanyang can be said to be the hardest-hit areas. Many people who were not refugees before became refugees.

In this way, Wei Man's opening of the granary to release grain this time was simply timely rain. These refugees ate the grain and cried loudly while eating.

Wei Man sighed a little, as expected, being a general is different from being an emperor.

Everyone was stockpiling food all morning, and the traffic was very heavy. Wei Man was used to wielding knives and guns, so he didn't feel anything. Lin Rang suffered from shoulder pain, which was so sore.

Wei Man whispered, "Go to the side and rest for a while, don't work too hard."

Lin Rang moved his shoulders and back, seeing that Sheliang was proceeding step by step, and he didn't need to worry too much, so he walked to the corner and prepared to take a rest by himself.

Lin Rang went to the corner, found a box and sat down casually, and fanned himself. At this moment, with a sound of "Pa!", someone suddenly patted his shoulder.

Lin Rang turned his head subconsciously, but he didn't see the other party's appearance. His mouth and nose were covered by someone, and he was dragged directly into the corner.

"Well!"

Lin Rang couldn't make a sound, the other party was definitely a trainer, he moved as nimbly as a cheetah, and dragged him away in an instant.

When Wei Man turned his head to look, Lin Rang was no longer there.

Wei Man looked around, and said strangely, "Did you see the Prime Minister?"

Everyone shook their heads and said, "No, did you go to the back to rest just now?"

Wei Man glanced back, but still didn't see Lin Rang, so he said, "I'm going to rest for a while, you go on."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wei Man said that's all, and walked towards the direction that Lin Rang had just walked over.

Lin Rang was dragged away by someone, and dragged into a corner. After he didn't drag him far, the man let go of Lin Rang and let go of the shackles.

"Shh-"

The other party hissed, Lin Rang was let go, and only then could he see the other party clearly.

Lin Rang opened his eyes slightly, and said, "Xiu'er?"

It's Wei Zixiu!

Wei Zixiu and the little emperor rushed to the disaster area to relieve the disaster, but they were washed away by the flood. Later, the news of the death of the little emperor and Wei Zixiu came.

After such a long time, Wei Zixiu suddenly appeared unexpectedly.

Wei Zixiu pretended to be a refugee with black on his face, but Lin Rang could still recognize him at a glance.

Lin Rang quickly stood up and said, "It's really you..."

Wei Zixiu's face didn't change much, but he looked more resolute than before, and his figure became taller. He has grown from a teenager to a young man.

Wei Zixiu lowered his voice and said, "To make a long story short, I escaped. In order not to arouse suspicion, I have to go back immediately."

escape?

Lin Rang seems to have grasped the key point.

Wei Zixiu said: "Please help me convey to my adoptive father that the emperor is not dead."

The little emperor is not dead.

Wu's blood is still...

Wei Man has just ascended the throne and has not yet had time to ascend the throne. If the little emperor returns at this time, then Wei Man's position will definitely not be stable.

Wei Zixiu said again: "The owner is now in the hands of Wude, the governor of Chuzhou."

Wude!

Lin Rang felt a little stunned, no wonder Wu De didn't go to Beijing to worship, because he had a bigger hole card in his hand.

Wei Zixiu said: "The host heard the news that the foster father came to the throne, so he has already cooperated with Wu De. The army is on the way, and is on its way quietly. It will reach the capital in a few days, and wants to drag the foster father down."

Wei Zixiu paused, and then said: "I don't know...whether it's right for me to do so, so I'm asking the prime minister, lest the owner and Wu De have any doubts, I have to go back."

Lin Rang nodded and said, "Be careful in everything."

Wei Zixiu said, "I will."

As he said that, he heard the approaching footsteps, he quickly dodged over the wall and disappeared without a trace.

"Lin Rang!"

Lin Rang immediately heard someone calling his name, and he was held tightly in his arms as soon as he turned around.

It's Wei Man.

Wei Man hugged him tightly and said, "Where are you going? Why are you staying here? It scared me to death. I thought something happened to you!"

Lin Rang said: "If there is nothing wrong with Rang, the one who has something to do...should be the owner."

"I?"

Wei Man was a little surprised, and said, "What can I do?"

Lin Rang looked at Wei Man with a calm tone, and said, "Rang just met Xiu'er."

"Xiu'er is still alive?!" Wei Man was ecstatic immediately, and said, "That's great, that's great! It's really a great joy!"

As Wei Man said this, his smile gradually froze, because he thought of a question.

Wei Zixiu is still alive, but mysteriously refuses to see him, why?

The reason may be very simple...

Sure enough, Lin Rang said: "The late emperor... is still alive."

Woody camp.

The Chuzhou Army led the elite troops and had already secretly set out on the road. The vanguard troops approached Xuanyang and camped low-key not far away.

Wei Zixiu came back from the outside cautiously, changed the refugee's clothes, put on his jacket, and stepped into the camp without making a sound.

He walked into the camp and hurried to his tent.

"Wow!" The tent curtain was lifted with a sound, and as soon as he walked in, he heard a sound of breathing.

It was dim in the tent, there was no light, a not very tall and thin figure was sitting on the mat in the tent.

Wei Zixiu took a closer look and saw that it was the young emperor Wu Xiao.

Wu Xiao was sitting on the table, shaking a wine glass and earcup in his hand, the feathers shook slightly, and the water in the cup made a "splashing" sound.

When Wei Zixiu saw Wu Xiao, his heart subconsciously tightened, and he cupped his hands calmly and said, "My lord."

Wu Xiao said lightly, "Zixiu, where have you been?"

Wei Zixiu's throat was a little congested, and he didn't make a sound for a while.

Wu Xiao said again: "I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been?"

Wei Zixiu lowered his head and said, "Your humble general is just... walking around to survey the terrain."

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, Wu Xiao put the earcup on the table, turned to look at Wei Zixiu, and said, "Just walk?"

"Yes."

Just as Wei Zixiu finished his answer, he heard footsteps of "Tat, Tat, Tat!", and then the tent curtain was lifted violently, and two groups of soldiers rushed into the tent, instantly surrounding Wei Zixiu in the middle.

Wei Zixiu's eyes flickered, but he didn't move. He stood where he was, looking at Wu Xiao calmly.

"Clap clap clap!"

With the sound of clapping palms, a man came in from the outside. The man was tall, wearing black armor and holding a sword on his waist, and said, "It took me a long time to walk around, and I came to the capital of Xuanyang after walking. able man."

Wei Zixiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the speaker, who was the master of this camp, Wu De.

Wu De came in with palms clapped, and said, "Wei Zixiu, don't you admit it? You went to Xuanyang to report to your father-in-law who conspired against you!?"

Wei Zixiu's eyes were a bit serious, and he said: "The adoptive father did not rebel, but the news of the death of the lord came out first, and the prefects from all over the country rushed into the capital. Instead of rebelling, the adoptive father suppressed the rebellion."

Wu De said lightly: "It's nice to say, but are you sure that Wei Man has no intention of rebelling against him and proclaiming himself emperor?"

Just as Wei Zixiu was about to speak, Wu Xiao had already stood up, walked up to him, and said, "Wei Zixiu, I am so disappointed in you."

Wei Zixiu's heart trembled.

Wu Xiao said again: "After so much, you risked your life to save me, and it was too late for me to thank you. I thought...we are different, but I didn't realize it..."

Wei Zixiu looked at Wu Xiao, his eyes were no longer flickering, his voice was a little hoarse, and he said, "The humble general can die for someone else, but this life of the humble general was given by the righteous father..."

Wu Xiao sneered and said, "Very well, in the end, I still can't compare to Wei Man."

"No mistake."

Unexpectedly, just after Wu Xiao finished speaking, Wei Zixiu began to "add fuel and vinegar".

Wu Xiao looked at Wei Zixiu in disbelief, and anger hit his chest, and said, "What did you say!?"

Wei Zixiu said frankly: "The host is right. In the end, the host is still inferior to the adoptive father... But it is not in Zixiu's heart, but in the hearts of the people of the world."

Wei Zixiu continued: "The Lord has been in power for so many years, the local army is incapable of suppressing, the people cannot be appeased, and the national stockpile is empty. However, the adoptive father has just ascended the throne, and has not yet ascended the throne. He has controlled the growth of the local army, and the national treasury has been filled. Donate money to help the people, the owner asks himself, what is better than the father-in-law?"

"you!!"

Wu Xiao's fair skin was flushed with anger, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said, "Good! Very good, worthy of being Wei Man's adoptive son! You know how to put money on Wei Man's face! I have worked hard for the country and the people for so many years, I'm afraid there is a trace of negligence, can't you see it?! It's not me, it's the former emperors who left me with such a mess!!! What else can I do?!"

Wei Zixiu said: "Zixiu sees the owner's efforts, but the owner is powerless to return to heaven, and this world, in the hands of the righteous father, has already begun to recover, hasn't it?"

Wu Xiao was speechless for a while, his eyes were dark, but he looked at him slightly fluctuating.

Wu De interrupted their conversation and said: "My lord, Wei Zixiu has always been Wei Man's adoptive son. If he is afraid that he will tip off Wei Man, we should detain Wei Zixiu and take care of him."

Wu Xiao pursed his lips, took one last look at Wei Zixiu, waved his hand, and said dejectedly, "Press it."

"Yes!"

Wu De immediately said: "Take it away, so I can take care of it."

The soldiers quickly stepped forward, Wei Zixiu didn't struggle at all, let the soldiers put the shackles on himself, and with the sound of the iron chains "哗啦!哗啦—", slowly walked out of the tent, without looking back, without nostalgia...

Wu Xiao seemed to have a severe headache, so Wu De said: "The Lord doesn't need to worry about these things, Wei Man is a traitor and traitor no matter what he thinks. As long as the Lord approves, the humble general will be smashed to pieces, and he must take back the world for the Lord!"

Wu Xiao rubbed his forehead and said, "What should we do now?"

Wu De said: "Wei Zixiu's bad deeds, I'm afraid he has already met the people in the capital, we must solve it quickly."

"How to make a quick decision?"

Wu De said: "The master is the authentic royal family. As long as he can appear in front of all officials, Wei Man will definitely dismount. Therefore, the most urgent task is how to let the master enter the capital smoothly."

Wu Xiao looked at Wu De and said, "You must have figured it out already?"

Wu De nodded, cupped his hands and said: "That's true, De has a way to send the Lord to Beijing smoothly."

"Speak quickly."

Wu De said: "In order to win the hearts of the people, Wei Man is giving away food on a large scale. Not only the people in Xuanyang City can get food, but also the refugees outside the city. In the capital, then everything will be easy to handle."

Wu Xiao thought about it, and it was indeed a solution. Wei Man had just ascended the throne, and his foundation was not stable, and his surname was not Wu. Once he appeared, he would definitely be pulled down.

Wu Xiao said, "Let's do it like this."

Wu De immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Lord!"

Wu Xiao thought for a while, then said, "Don't touch Wei Zixiu yet."

Wu De hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes, Lord."

Wei Man looked at Lin Rang in shock and said, "He's still alive?!"

Wu Xiao is still alive...

Lin Rang said: "It is estimated that it is not far from the capital, and will enter the capital soon."

Wei Man squinted his eyes. He has already become the emperor, so it is impossible to abdicate. How can he spit out the sweetness he has already tasted?

A trace of killing intent flashed in Wei Man's eyes, faintly visible, but he didn't speak immediately.

Lin Rang seemed to see what he meant, so he didn't need to speak, and said: "The host must not be murderous. Those who refuse to accept the host in the court now think that the host is not a clan noble, or an orthodox bloodline. If there is a mistake, there will be a scandal of killing the king, and there will be no way to recover."

Wei Man felt that what Lin Rang said was right. Now is the time when we are walking on thin ice, we must not spread any scandals, but at this juncture, Wu Xiao suddenly appeared, how could Wei Man be reconciled?

Wei Man said, "What do you think?"

Lin Rang confided four words very calmly, saying: "Advance through retreat."
