The planning lasted until midnight. When the last few people left, Song Ting personally sent Zhang Yu to the door. When the two of them talked about their merits, they were the two biggest people in that war, so in the end, only these two were killed.
They were granted the title of Marquis, but one of them had low martial arts training and limited talent, and the other almost made a big mistake, so in today's court, neither of them has much say.
Zhang Yu was lucky, at least he was in charge of the entire patrol camp, while Song Ting was completely without an official.
However, his prestige in the military was not low in his early years. Even though he has no real power now, the other people still respect him quite a bit.
The two stood at the door. Zhang Yu turned to leave. Song Ting couldn't help but tell him again: "Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang's role is the most important in this matter. Don't make any mistakes."
Zhang Yu laughed and said, "During the war, when did I make any mistakes? His Majesty dared to give me his back, why do you still not believe me? Could it be that you really feel that you have studied for a few years?
Do you look down on us warriors?"
Song Ting smiled bitterly and said: "How can there be such a reason? It's just because this matter is of great importance, so I don't have to say a few words."
Zhang Yu nodded, and after a moment of silence, he asked Song Ting a question he never expected, "Brother Song, do you really think that His Majesty wants to kill him?"
?"
Song Ting was startled, and then asked in confusion: "Brother Zhang, why did you say this?"
Zhang Yu said with emotion: "Your Majesty has never shown much love to the princes. People say that your Majesty is really a loner, but in fact it is because the personalities of the princes are very different from your Majesty's. Your Majesty doesn't like it, so naturally he will."
There is not so much favor and love anymore, but although the person in front of you is the heir of the former crown prince, your majesty still respects the former crown prince despite his feud with the deposed emperor. The deep brotherly love between the two at the beginning was not an act.
Yes, what’s more, what Chen Chao showed is very similar to His Majesty’s when he was young. His Majesty may have seen his younger self in him, and that’s why he was so kind to him.”
Song Ting nodded, "Brother Zhang is right. His Majesty is dissatisfied with all the princes under his knees. Now that a satisfied junior appears, he naturally likes it. Perhaps because of this, Your Majesty is hesitant, but you and I both know what that person is thinking."
No, your Majesty treats him like a nephew, but he does not regard your Majesty as his uncle, so he has to kill him. If he hesitates, I am afraid that the country will be overturned, and the foundation of your Majesty's next life will fall apart. How can we just watch?!
"
Zhang Yu smiled and said straight to the point: "There is no one else around at this moment. Brother Song, let me tell you honestly. Is it really just for your majesty?"
Song Ting is known as a Confucian general. Among the many military generals who conquered the world for Emperor Liang, his thoughts are naturally much more delicate. However, Zhang Yu has actually been familiar with military books since childhood, and with so many years of accumulation, he has long been not that kind.
I only know that the warriors who charge into battle cannot be compared with the likes of Liu Hu and Li Yue.
Song Ting took the initiative to do these things, but Zhang Yu didn't think that he was just doing it for His Majesty.
Song Ting gave a bitter smile and said quickly: "Since Brother Zhang asked me, I, Old Song, can't hide it any longer. We are all followers of His Majesty. Whose world was it that won the throne in the first place?
It is the world of the deposed emperor. Now the heirs of the former prince want to take back the world. If nothing else, after taking back the world, will many old brothers including you and me have something good to eat? When the time comes, His Majesty abdicates,
It’s hard to say whether he will die or not. Your Majesty is in a high state and may be able to leave the capital of the gods unharmed and find a place to live in seclusion, but we brothers will all gather at Caishikou.”
Zhang Yu sighed and said: "There are a lot of people named Chen. It seems that it doesn't matter to the people in the world who sits on which chair, but for us, it is still different."
Song Ting nodded and said: "So even if His Majesty doesn't want to kill, we can only kill for His Majesty, for His Majesty's throne and for ourselves. As for whether His Majesty will be angry if he knows afterwards, he will not kill us anyway."
His life, right? After all, we are old brothers who conquered the world together, so Your Majesty still needs to reminisce about old friendships."
"Since this is the case, I know in my heart that I will handle this matter well for him." Zhang Yu clasped his fists and turned around with a smile.
Song Ting said solemnly from behind: "Then I'll leave it to Brother Zhang."
Zhang Yu didn't turn around, just smiled and said: "They are all doing things for themselves, there is no need to say this."
Song Ting didn't speak anymore, just stood there silently and said goodbye.
After Zhang Yu's carriage drove away, Song Ting took the lantern from the servant on the side and walked away.
I don’t know how long I walked, but after twists and turns, in a remote alley, there was an ordinary carriage parked. Song Ting came to the carriage and said respectfully.
Jing said softly: "Things have been arranged. Zhang Yu had some doubts, but I blocked him."
Although Song Ting has no real power in his hands, he is a real marquis after all. Even in this place where noble people are everywhere, I am afraid there are not many people who can be so respectful to him.
A voice soon came from the carriage, "Well done, now we can wait and see."
Song Ting hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I just don't know if there will be any changes. If he returns to the academy again, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."
"It doesn't matter, everything is in the plan. You just need to make the arrangements properly. The manpower must be well selected. By the way, I will also send people here when the time comes. I must make sure this is done."
The man in the carriage smiled and said: "If this really doesn't work, I have my own backup plan, but if we arrange it like this, it would be really unreasonable if he can still survive the disaster."
Song Ting responded: "Of course it's impossible. With your strategizing, this matter can naturally be achieved."
"Marquis Huainan, don't rush to flatter me. I will naturally keep what you did in mind. If this happens, the word after it can also be changed."
The voice of the man in the carriage was not loud, very soft.
Song Ting smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid that even if it is done, His Majesty will find me extremely hateful in his eyes. Even if he doesn't kill me, he will demote me back to my hometown."
"Don't worry, as long as you can save your life. Since you have a sense of elegance, just be an idle man in the mountains and rivers for a few more years, and you will naturally be able to live in peace and prosperity."
The man in the carriage smiled and said: "Don't rush everything. Just like you did back then, you were too courageous to do those nasty things under His Majesty's nose."
Song Ting lowered his head and said regretfully: "It was also impulsive. Now every time I think about it, I wish I could give myself a slap in the face."
The man in the carriage didn't speak, he just smiled.
…
…
Chen Chao left the academy and temporarily lived in the courtyard that Song Lian had found for him. These days, he occasionally appeared at Zuowei Yamen.
However, he was keenly aware that the government officials above and below Zuowei were looking at him a little strangely. He thought this was because of the rumors before. Chen Chao didn't care about them either.
Intensifying, Chen Chao has become the center of the whirlpool.
Even the most stupid person can feel that a storm is brewing.
Song Lian was also a little troubled by this. Originally, he just thought that Chen Chao was just a young warrior whom His Majesty admired. Who knew that such a thing would happen now.
"Tell me the truth, are you that kind of thing?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Song Lian pulled Chen Chao and promised, "Brother, I will definitely not tell anyone else."
Chen Chao glanced at him with a smile, "Brother, what do you think?"
Song Lian was not too stupid to say he was stupid. Recalling that the queen had summoned him to the palace to ask about Chen Chao, he could guess that Chen Chao's identity was probably not simple, but he had guessed that it was the same thing.
It was another matter for Chen Chao to tell him personally.
Seeing that Chen Chao was about to speak, Song Lian waved his hand again, "Forget it, don't tell me. If you really know it, if His Majesty kills you, I will help you."
Won’t you help me?”
Chen Chao said in surprise: "If you don't know the identity of this official, how dare you disobey His Majesty's will?"
Song Lian grimaced and said, "Don't say it. It's difficult for me to be caught in the middle. But you understand one thing. Without an order, I will always regard you as the deputy commander of my left guard. If anything happens, I will
They will not stand idly by.”
Chen Chao clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't realize that Sir, you value friendship so much."
Song Lian let out a sigh, "You should be more careful yourself. I don't know how many people want you to disappear from this world. If I were you, I would hide in the academy and never come out. By the way, why don't you come back?"
Going to the academy? If that doesn’t work, how about you just stay here in the yamen?"
Chen Chao asked curiously: "Sir, if someone comes to the Forgetful Realm to kill me, will you accompany me to death?"
Song Lian frowned, "Being in a state of forgetfulness is not a big problem."
Chen Chao understood immediately, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations, my lord, you are about to set foot in Wangyou. It seems that taking over the post of guardian envoy is just around the corner. When will it be put on the table?"
Song Lian smiled slightly, "Time is running out. I was planning to find some time to retreat and have some impact. But now it seems that your kid's affairs are still very troublesome. Let's talk about it later."
Chen Chao shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not necessary. As many people want to kill me now, there are just as many people who want me alive. How can it be so difficult?"
Song Lian thought for a while and couldn't figure out the truth, so he just said: "Forget it, your kid's brain is better than mine anyway, but should I let Weng Quan follow you these days? If anything happens, I can know it immediately."
"Goodbye, leave that talkative person to cause harm to others. I don't want to live in peace."
Song Lian wanted to speak but stopped.
Chen Chao shook his head and said: "It's really not such a big problem. As long as His Majesty doesn't want to kill me, then I will definitely not die."
Song Lian sighed: "But I'm just afraid that Your Majesty will also want to kill you."
Chen Chao said helplessly: "If this is really the case, then it will be useless whatever you do."
Yes, in the capital of the gods, whoever His Majesty the Emperor wants to kill will still be alive?
