Chapter 253 Threat (1st update)
Wu Chen shook his head and asked:
"What are you planning? A change of dynasty? Your Majesty, do you feel comfortable sitting on the dragon throne? You are in a hurry when you come out. go back , all the difficult matters in the world have to be dealt with by Your Majesty. I don’t have the ability to tell who is loyal and who is treacherous among the people kneeling in the hall. I want to pass down the inheritance to my descendants, but I can’t tell who is wise and who is a fool. , if not done properly, it will be scolded for thousands of generations. I have no interest in ruining my ancestral foundation..."
Wu Chen paused and said:
"If anyone wants to pay my attention and wants me to help in the rebellion, it can be considered as asking for help. Wrong person, high-ranking official with generous salary and bribery will not work I don't have any family for them to hold hostage, just a big-headed brother. Anyone who dares to touch him will be seeking death! It would be best if my name is not in the history books. I do what I am good at, and I will be free for the rest of my life. ?”
Li Heng's face darkened, and he snorted and said: "It sounds like you don't want to have this country, but it's not that you can't get it!"
Wu Chen shook his head and said:
"Your Majesty has seen me. I have the ability to say something about whether it hurts or not, so that His Majesty will feel comfortable. Go back If you think about it carefully, what's the point of saying it's all lies? I may not know how to govern the country, but if I want to stir things up, I'm afraid no one can stop me. Let me be humble to your majesty. Your majesty doesn't even need to go to Kyoto. I can do it halfway. Can you come back to your senses? Use me or kill me. Your Majesty hesitated for several days. No, there is no perfect way to kill me. Corpse poison can't hurt me at all, and other poisons are even more useless. Pointed and bladed ones are completely useless to me. Even now, the soldiers in the yard are pointing at me with their crossbows. Me, I can get out of the yard before the crossbow fires, and you can't catch me, that is I have a chance to fight back."
Li Heng asked with a gloomy face: "So, I really can't do anything to you?"
"Why do you have to do anything to me? I don’t want to rebel, so you have to force me to rebel?”
Liu Jinzhong stood at the door, his legs dangling for a long time. After hearing Wu Chen's words, he felt as if his legs were gone, and he sat on the ground again. Fortunately, no one noticed him.
"Datou, follow me back to Kyoto." Li Heng said with a solemn face.
"No! All my people have to follow me. Most people can't do the things I do, and it will be a waste of time."
Wu Chen just finished speaking and suddenly flew up. He ran to the rafters, and when he landed again, he had a long knife in his hand.
Liu Jinzhong, who had just stood up, sat down again.
Wu Chen walked to the door of the room and threw the long knife out. When he turned around again, Xing Yun was already standing behind Li Heng. Wu Chen frowned and said impatiently:
"Your Majesty has been testing me for several days. , almost done, I As I said, I have no interest in government affairs. I just want to lead people to find out how many ghosts are still unwilling to leave in this world and find a way to send them away. Your Majesty and I have a common wish, which is for peace in the world, otherwise my errand What else does it mean? Righteousness? Besides, when the country is strong and prosperous, your majesty can do whatever it takes. If I do something against heaven, you don’t have to deal with me. Someone will take me in. Don’t worry, you can’t take me in. There’s no need. spend energy on me , I will protect you, remember this, it will be easier for both of us."
Li Heng could no longer pretend to be calm. He waved his sleeves, and Xing Yun strode towards the door. Pull Liu Jinzhong up and close the door.
Li Heng and Wu Chen were the only ones left in the room.
"Are you threatening me?" Li Heng asked with a calm expression again.
"Do I need to threaten your majesty? After all, your majesty is worried about the loss of imperial power. I am the same, because once the dynasty changes, the people will suffer. I don't know how many more lonely ghosts will come. This It's not what I want to see. I'm not interested in fighting for power. If I wanted it, it wouldn't be like this all the way, Your Majesty. Don’t worry about what will happen to me in the future. As I said before, I will only do things that are within my bounds. I will not do anything that crosses the line. If you do something, someone will accept it. I have said so much. If you are still stubborn, I really want to consider whether you are suitable to sit on the dragon throne... This sentence is a threat!"
Li Heng couldn't help showing panic.
Wu Chen quickly struck while the iron was hot: "We could have been friends, but why bother turning them into enemies? You will govern Xingguo well, and I will guard the Yin and Yang Pass in secret. Isn't this good?"< br>
“You...want to be worthy of my brother?”
Wu Chen waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty wants to save face. I am a minister or a citizen. It doesn't matter. There is only one thing that your Majesty needs to remember. I am here to help you, and I am the only one in the world who replies to your Majesty. Every word is true." , I don’t hide it, because I have no purpose.”
Li Heng stared at Wu Chen for a long time and then said: "I believe you for the time being! You stay and clean up the affairs in the other courtyard. Destroy everything above and below the ground. I will take those boxes back to Kyoto and kill myself." Someone will keep an eye on her, but you need to break the formation outside the courtyard."
"It's not difficult. I told Your Majesty before, I think. Create a new one..."
"We'll talk about it when we get back to Kyoto."
"Then I'll say it first. I'll give it a try when I get back to Kyoto. I'm really upset. "
Li Heng took a deep breath. Since he ascended the throne, he has never heard such a tone and content.
"Your Majesty, don't be upset. I think your Majesty should be happy. Let's just say which emperor in the past dynasties had such a confidant who could say anything without any reservation? Can he still joke with the emperor when there is nothing wrong? So, your Majesty should be happy, right? Now, when your Majesty returns to Kyoto, you must recruit Chen Nanzhu, the adopted daughter of Chen Zhong’s mansion. I can't trust Chen Zhong even if I stay in the palace for a few days, so I have to trouble your majesty to help me look after him for a few days. When I arrive in Kyoto, he will take me out."
Li Heng snorted and said, "You don't take yourself seriously. Outsiders.”
“Compared with those of your Majesty’s ministers, at least my intestines are straight. There may not be any thoughts of seeking to usurp the throne, but there are certainly many who want to be like worms, use their power, and treat the people of Xingguo as their slaves. What they want is to squeeze the people dry, enrich their own pockets, and make themselves prestige. The family... if there are more people like this in the government, the Xingguo will be destroyed sooner or later."< br>
Li Heng frowned, pondered for a moment, and then sighed and said: "After I leave, this place will be handed over to you. Deal with it as soon as possible without leaving any trouble. When I return to Kyoto, I will There will be new errands for you.”
“Your Majesty, are you leaving now?”
"If you don't break the formation outside the other courtyard, how can I take away those boxes?"
Wu Chen quickly opened the door and ran out.
Wu Chen’s method of breaking the formation is to really break it, to break it with destruction.
Wu Chen ordered the soldiers outside the courtyard near the courtyard wall to stay away, then destroyed the courtyard wall and overturned the ground. Based on his experience, as long as there is a gap in the formation, it is considered useless, so he only It took some effort to get to the gate of the other courtyard. (End of this chapter)
