Zuofu.

In order to arrange the marriage between Zuo Mingxin and Qin Xuance, Zuo Mansion has been very busy these days.

But Zuo Jinglun doesn't care much about things like the backyard.

He was sitting in the study with Song Li, sending people to inquire about the happenings on Xicheng Street at all times...

"I really didn't expect Wang Xiao's sword move to be off the mark." Song Li muttered, "But I'm not surprised that he broke He Liangyuan's game."

"I thought of it, but I don't have the courage to do such a thing." Zuo Jinglun said: "As for He Liangyuan... Zheng Yuanhua was too strong, which caused He Liangyuan to be suppressed in the Hanlin Academy for too long, and his vision could no longer keep up."

The government was full of loopholes. I regret marrying his family."

"He can't let go of the sour Confucianism in him." Song Li said: "Now that Wang Xiao has stripped him of his face, he may be able to make progress."

"If you haven't made any progress in decades, what's the point of growing after you're buried?" Zuo Jinglun shook his head and mumbled: "We taught him how to encircle and suppress Wang Xiao by the Navy of Tiaojin Town, but what about him? Taking into account his reputation, he was timid and looked for

North Korea’s idiots did this.”

Song Li smiled.

The Tiaojin Navy Commander may not be able to kill Wang Xiao. He came up with this idea just to make them two tigers fight. He Liangyuan saw it, and he didn't want to be exposed and wanted to hide in the dark.

A fallen leaf tells the world of autumn. Just by looking at this one thing, you can know the behavior style of the entire Chu Dynasty officials. They calculated against each other and worried too much, and in the end nothing was accomplished.

Thinking of this, Song Li couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty is good at power and balance. This is the emperor's way of governing the world, but it is difficult to control the chaotic world."

Such words could not be said before. Now the two of them looked at each other and felt that Emperor Yanguang's authority was declining.

Zuo Jinglun sighed: "The troubled times are coming, and there must be a domineering master... What do you think of King Qi?"

"I'm still young, so I can't see clearly." Song Li said, "But when it comes to His Highness, Wang Xiao cannot be avoided."

"I want to gain military power, get close to the King of Qi, and seek fame and fortune. The king laughs at this son because he has ulterior motives. We must be on guard against him."

"Today he killed the North Korean envoy. Your Majesty will not punish him?"

"Theoretically, it must be dealt with." Zuo Jinglun twirled his beard and said with a sigh: "But how to deal with it? In order to give the small country of North Korea an explanation, deal with the prince-in-law who has just made meritorious service but has no reward. Isn't it just to give him an honest reason to rebel?

Is that not advisable? What Wang Xiao said before he killed Jin Hao was for His Majesty, not to mention everyone in the world."

At this point, the two of them felt helpless again.

After a moment of silence, Song Li sighed: "My lord, I will be the chief minister soon, and the King of Qi is only one step away from you. I should have let go and done something to turn the tide... How wonderful it would be if there was no Wang Xiao."

"Chief Assistant? Your Majesty means that I will temporarily take over as the First Assistant and wait for Lu Kunshan to return."

"Isn't this reasonable?" Song Li said: "Treat national affairs as child's play."

"Your Majesty is a little depressed now, isn't this just child's play?"

The next moment, a messenger came crashing through the door.

"Master... Lu Zhengchu was assassinated!"

"What?!"

"Lu Zhengchu was assassinated by Jiannu Xizuo..."

Zuo Jinglun was stunned for a moment, and the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground, shattering with a clang.

Song Li couldn't help but think: Now the position of chief assistant is stable!

a long time.

"Lu Kunshan!"

Suddenly, Zuo Jinglun kicked the table hard, causing cups and plates to shatter on the floor.

"Lu Kunshan...old man! How dare you do this...why do you..."

Song Li was stunned for a moment, and when he looked around, he saw that Zuo Jinglun's eyes were red, both sad and angry, but showed no joy at all.

"Sir," Song Li whispered, "It's a good thing that Lu Kunshan is dead."

Zuo Jinglun seemed to have not heard anything and said to himself: "Why do you have it? Why do you let Jiannu Xizuo come to kill you? The merits and demerits of us old men in this life have not yet been determined, how dare you escape first?"

"Hahaha, Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne. Xiangshi died in the first place, who knows the truth of his life? You, Lu Kunshan, clearly know that the country of Chu is in danger, and you can't wait to build it for yourself.

The verdict is final!"

"From now on, the history of the Qing Dynasty will be clear. You will be a famous minister and a good prime minister, and you will be loyal and loyal to the country. But I am a fool who has lost my country and will be ridiculed by the world. Why..."

When Zuo Jinglun said this, two lines of tears kept flowing from his eyes, staining his gray beard, and he looked very embarrassed and pitiful.

"Studying hard in the cold window, gaining fame from articles, ups and downs in officialdom, it is already late in the blink of an eye, and all our lives have been spent. We all know in our hearts that this great state of Chu cannot be defended, it cannot be defended! Over the years, you and I have learned what we have learned in our hearts.

Each has devoted his or her life to the best... Now that you have reached perfection, your name, Lu Zhengchu, and my name, Zuo Jinglun, have parted ways. From now on, it will be a long journey, and I will bear the blame of mediocrity throughout the ages."

Song Li quickly advised: "Sir, there is no need..."

As if he had lost his mind, Zuo Jinglun raised his head and chuckled: "Haha, sixty years have passed. Who can judge the merits and demerits of this life?"

He staggered and stumbled towards the door.

Song Li stood up, looked at Zuo Jinglun's back, and was silent for a long time.

It turns out that Mr. Lao also knew that the state of the Chu Dynasty could not be defended.

Over the years, the two of them had sat opposite each other and talked, always talking about how to turn the tide. They were plotting against this person and plotting against that person, as if stepping on them to ascend to power would save the Chu Dynasty.

In fact, Song Li knew that no matter what he did, it would be the same.

Just like a person who is dying, no amount of medicine can save him.

All I have done is just lying to myself, but I am just used to being busy all the time...

Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Yanguang sat there, listening to Du Zhenghe's low-pitched report.

"Wang Xiao said that if he had other intentions, he would have imitated Zheng Yuanhua and went to Jiangnan to plot." Du Zhenghe said in a low voice.

"Really?" Emperor Yanguang raised his eyes and asked, "Have you accepted the food and salary he gave you?"

Du Zhenghe took a deep breath and became a little desperate.

It is indeed difficult to gain His Majesty's full trust.

"The general will accept it."

"Very good." Emperor Yanguang patted the table gently and said without interest: "Go down."

Seeing Du Zhenghe carefully retreating step by step, the emperor on the dragon throne rubbed his head.

Some things can only be truly understood by those who are in their position.

Now that things have developed, it no longer matters whether Wang Xiao has different intentions or whether Du Zhenghe is trustworthy.

Because Wang Xiao’s actions had already caused the court to lose respect for the emperor.

It has nothing to do with trust or loyalty. There are tens of thousands of officials in the court, and every move of each one has an irreversible impact on the emperor, which is beyond human control.

Only Emperor Yanguang could experience this state of being in an abyss.

Even if King Qi has no different intentions, Wang Xiao must push him to the top; even if Wang Xiao has no different intentions, others will still push him; even if Du Zhenghe is only loyal to the emperor, the soldiers of Shenji Camp know who is stronger...

People in the world are used to following the wind. Now that the wind direction has changed, how can the boat be pushed by manpower?

Emperor Yanguang closed his eyes and seemed to see Zhou Yan wearing a dragon robe and crying to him: "Father, I don't want this to happen, you forced me to do it!"

That’s all, this is how I’ve been getting through my whole life anyway.

Emperor Yanguang was too lazy to think about it anymore. He didn't want to criticize the book anymore, so he planned to go find Chen Yuanyuan to eat some sweets together.

Wang You, the minister of Honglu Temple, suddenly asked to see him.

Emperor Yanguang didn't want to see him, but he still said habitually: "Yes."

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened! The Prince Consort laughed and killed the North Korean envoy."

When it comes to North Korea, Emperor Yanguang gets annoyed.

The old man Li Zhu, the leader of North Korea, would cry and cry all day long. While surrendering the slaves, he sent a monk to explain to him secretly, and at the same time sent an envoy to question him... He was a coward who didn't dare to offend anyone, and he lived a good life.

It's better than me. Now he's here to cause trouble for me again.

As soon as he heard the report, Emperor Yanguang understood the reasons and figured out the pros and cons.

But he couldn't analyze it with others, so he said calmly: "Just kill him."

"Your Majesty, the two countries are at war and the envoys have not yet been killed. Wang laughed at this move..."

"Do I still need to explain to you what I am doing?!" Emperor Yanguang picked up a memorial and threw it on the case, saying, "Go and write a letter to Li Zhu, asking him to hand over the Dongjiang Islands. I can't write.

Just go ask Lu Aiqing and stop bothering me."

Suddenly, a small yellow doorman rushed in, and because he ran too fast, he fell down on the hall.
