Under the dim lights, the water surface of the Bianhe River is also colorful and rippling, which is a bit dazzling even in the dark night. The boat comes quietly and then leaves quietly. Wang Yinwu is sitting alone on the bow, covered with a black robe, staring intently.
Landing on the water.
At this moment, his mood was as turbulent as the water surface, and he felt like a boat on the river, drifting with the current and unable to be free.
Tonight's meeting with Lu Duoxun opened Wang Yinwu's eyes. At the same time, he also felt deeply frightened. A sense of fear surged over him. The more he thought about it, the more fear he felt.
He had known Lu Duoxun for almost thirty years. In the past, he had always felt that he knew the man fairly well. Lu Duoxun gave him the impression of being shrewd and conceited, but tonight he saw the real Lu Duoxun.
Lu Duoxun's remarks completely refreshed Wang Yinwu's understanding of the court, the emperor, and himself.
In the past, Wang Yinwu felt that he was very important and that he was a figure, a dignified military envoy, in charge of the largest spy agency in the Han Dynasty.
However, after being shocked by Lu Duoxun's words, Wang Yinwu suddenly realized that he might just be a tool used by Lu Duoxun to deal with Zhao Pu.
In the Wude Division, he could speak out and give orders, but as far as the court was concerned, his weight was really not high and he had no real right to speak.
But now, he has fallen deeply into it. He may not have had any deep feelings before, and he even felt that he was very smart and had an ally he could rely on.
But now, Wang Yinwu was really scared, especially under Lu Duoxun's "brainwashing" explanation.
Wang Yinwu supported Lu Duoxun to move Zhao Pu. The relationship between the two was secondary. The main reason was that he had been under a lot of pressure in recent years, not only from the Imperial City Division, but also from the imperial court. And the imperial court, on the bright side,
It was led by Zhao Pu.
However, if he really raises his flag and goes against Zhao Pu, then Wang Yinwu will inevitably feel guilty. Of course, what is more important is Emperor Liu's attitude.
And when he thought of Emperor Liu, Wang Yinwu's anxiety became even heavier. He, the military commander, colluded with Lu Duoxun, and the military commander gradually became a tool of the imperial party struggle and participated in the struggle for power.
, I ignored it in the past, but after I realized it, I couldn’t suppress the inexplicable fear.
Suddenly looking back, Wang Yinwu clearly realized for the first time that he had violated a taboo, and it was a taboo that could be fatal!
At this time, if Lu Duoxun launches the "overthrow of Zhao", it will only succeed. What if it fails? Although Lu Duoxun's words are precise and confident, according to Wang Yinwu, Lu Duoxun is not very confident.
grasp.
And once the matter fails, Lu Duoxun will not have any good results, and if he is implicated, his fate will probably be even more miserable than Lu Duoxun. Because, he has also committed a serious crime, the crime of deceiving the emperor, and as a martial artist
If you let the criminal deceive the king, you can imagine what the outcome will be.
Is Zhao Pu so easy to deal with? And Zhao Kuangyi mentioned by Lu Duoxun, as well as the relatives and nobles he mentioned, how much help can those people provide?
Most importantly, what is the emperor's attitude? Is His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts so easy to guess? He is really dissatisfied with Zhao Pu. Are you, Lu Duoxun, taking it for granted?
The deeper he thought and the more he thought, the more horrified Wang Yinwu felt. Beads of sweat fell unconsciously from his forehead, and his veins were exposed. He suddenly opened the curtain and turned around to look back. The boat was still the same.
Floating quietly in the river, the lights were dim and unclear, but Wang Yinwu always had the feeling that Lu Duoxun was still leaning on the railing independently, staring at his small boat.
At this moment, Wang Yinwu really had the urge to turn the ship around and go back to meet Lu Duoxun and try to persuade him. Brother Lu, let’s stop causing trouble. You will be your prime minister and I will be my envoy. It’s not very good to enjoy wealth and honor in peace.
ok?
However, he quickly gave up this impulsive idea. He had some understanding of what kind of person Lu Dosun was. If he could easily dissuade him, then he would not be Lu Dosun.
What's more, after planning for a long time and preparing so many things, even if there is some concealment, how can it be perfect? Now, Lu Duoxun may have an arrow on the string, and Wang Yinwu is riding a tiger with difficulty.
How could it be so easy to get off Lu Duo Xun's ship? He, Wang Yinwu, had already fallen deeply into it and could not extricate himself. This may be why Lu Duo Xun dared to have such a heart-to-heart relationship with him.
Thinking about Lu Duosun's performance just now, on the one hand, it was to reassure himself, on the other hand, it was also a warning to himself. They were all grasshoppers on a rope, and they couldn't escape.
People's hearts are always the most unpredictable. Wang Yinwu and Lu Duoxun, two people who were drinking and chatting just a moment ago, are already a little disloyal at this moment.
From landing at the shore to riding back home, Wang Yinwu always had a gloomy face, sometimes worried and sometimes confused. The carriage drove lightly on the flat stone streets of Kaifeng, making a crisp sound, and passed through several neighborhoods, approaching
When he arrived at Wang Yinwu's residence, he suddenly called out: "Stop the car!"
The coachman reined in, and the subordinates who followed him came forward to ask for instructions. Wang Yinwu did not give any instructions for a while, and hid in the carriage. He hesitated for a long time, with a little struggle on his face, and finally said in a deep voice: "Go to Mr. Zhao's mansion!"
Zhao Pu's residence is located in Yankangfang on the southwest side of the imperial city, very close to Da Nei. It was a reward from Emperor Liu to facilitate Zhao Pu's access to and from the imperial city for work.
The residence of the prime minister of the current dynasty is naturally unique and has a special bearing. Although it is not too extravagant and flashy, it is full of majesty and high status, which makes people yearn for it.
Although it was late at night, under the lights in front of the mansion, a few cars were still vaguely visible. From morning to night, there was always no shortage of people visiting the house, even though it was difficult for most of them to see Zhao Pu or even cross the threshold.
, but the positive enthusiasm of the visitors has never been extinguished.
Wang Yinwu's car stopped at the end of the street. He looked at the door of Zhao Mansion from a distance, his brows slightly furrowed, and the look of hesitation appeared on his face again.
"Commander, do you want to go to the side door?" the attendant suggested thoughtfully.
Wang Yinwu opened his mouth but did not answer. He raised his hand and quickly put it down again. He hesitated and hesitated for a long time. He looked away and said solemnly: "I'm not going! Turn around and go home!"
The entourage was a little surprised, but sensing Wang Yinwu's obviously bad mood, he did not dare to say any more and responded respectfully: "Yes!"
The carriage moved forward, and the wheels rolled across the ground. It looked very heavy, which could be compared with Wang Yinwu's heavy mood. Returning to the mansion, Wang Yinwu got out of the carriage this time, but he couldn't help but stop under the plaque on the gate of the mansion.
After pacing back and forth, after a complicated psychological struggle, and biting his lip, Wang Yinwu finally made up his mind and murmured: "Brother Lu, I'm afraid I have to say sorry to you..."
