Both of them were speechless and watched silently. The small building was located near the back garden of the palace. It had existed before, but it had never been renovated.
Recently, Su Ziji has acquired more and more books. In addition to the Alchemy Book, the ancient calligraphy and painting books that Su Ziji had obtained from other channels were also sorted out at the same time. The last part of the Alchemy Book was transported to this small building.
The small building has also been renovated, and Su Ziji will come over occasionally.
Su Ziji nodded and then said, "Zeng Nianzhen has been training outside for a long time. If necessary, he may be able to bring him back. Is there any difficulty in this matter?"
Speaking of this, the wild Taoist suddenly got excited. This matter was serious. Troops were being mobilized to the capital. He did not dare to neglect and responded immediately.
"My lord, Mr. Zeng has been overseas for a long time and is coming back to resume his duties."
"It's just that the capital is too sensitive. The Imperial City Secretary, the nine admirals, and the capital camp are keeping a close eye on it. It only takes a few dozen people to pay it back, but a few hundred people are worried that it won't be able to hide it."
"But for Fengan, Yongxiu and Juxian counties, if five to six hundred people are gathered together, they are still very conspicuous. If they are scattered, they will not be so conspicuous."
The wild Taoist said, seeing his lord turn around and lowering his eyes slightly, as if he was still a little hesitant, he continued: "My lord, I will handle this matter myself, and I will make sure it is watertight."
Su Ziji nodded and said: "I can rest assured that you can do the work. You can go ahead and call Wen Xunpeng by the way."
"Yes." The wild Taoist responded and went downstairs to find someone to call Wen Xunpeng.
small courtyard
Wen Xunpeng, who had just returned, entered the courtyard. The sky was a little dark at this time, and there was a small table under the tree. When the wind blew, it was quite cool.
Wen Xunpeng sat down and asked a boy to serve him tea. He drank it leisurely, his robe fluttering, making him look calm and calm, but in fact he was frowning.
"The discussion just now was a bit strange. Although the affairs of the shrine are of great benefit, there are still many crises inside. Unfortunately, I wanted to elaborate, but I was interrupted again. It seems to be intentional. What does this mean?
"
"Is there an ulterior plan?"
Wen Xunpeng is a very careful person. After thinking about it carefully, he immediately realized: "The king may be carrying out a certain plan."
"If my prediction is correct, it may be related to the temple."
"That's all. If you summon me now, it means that I have gained the king's trust and can be considered one of your own. If you don't summon me..."
This is to exclude himself. Wen Xunpeng's expression darkened and he was speechless for a long time. He looked at the autumn scenery and thought to himself: "Maybe I have to work harder..."
Because I didn't know if I would be summoned, I drank this cup of tea for a long time.
He was anxious, and the young boy in front of him was even more uneasy. He was not too old, less than twenty years old, and had been following Wen Xunpeng for a few years. Only later did Wen Xunpeng gradually realize that King Qi was violent, and was
The counselors who gave up often died unexpectedly even after leaving the palace, so they made arrangements in advance to allow this confidant to escape early.
Now that he has established a foothold in Daiwang's Mansion, this young man finally arrived at Daiwang's Mansion and still followed suit.
At this time, the boy looked at his husband who seemed calm but was actually distracted, as if he was waiting for something, so he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Xunpeng raised his eyes and looked at him: "Don't ask, just keep making tea for me."
As he spoke, he was counting the time in his mind, thinking that if he was to be summoned, there should be some movement. There is no movement now, could it be...
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps coming from outside the small courtyard. Someone knocked three times outside the wooden door and asked, "Is Mr. Wen here?"
Wen Xunpeng paused while holding the teacup. He felt happy and stood up as soon as he put down the teacup. The young man was smart. Seeing this scene, he hurriedly responded: "Sir, I'm here! Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you right now!"
"
With that said, he went over to open the door.
Wen Xunpeng walked behind, striding past the boy, and opened the door himself. When he saw that it was indeed a palace guard standing outside, his heart skipped a beat.
Although he had already guessed that King Dai might summon him for this matter, but it actually made him feel relieved.
Although it is said that the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose the prince, the ministers can change jobs at most once, and the next time they will be slaves of three families, no matter how talented they are, they will not be accepted by others.
It can be said that if King Dai doesn't take himself seriously, he will be afraid that he will never have another chance.
After adjusting my clothes, I went to the small wooden building under the leadership of the house guard without my servant.
The courtyards are not far apart from each other. After walking for a while, we arrived at the place. We entered the building alone and climbed to the second floor. As expected, we saw Dai Wang standing in front of the window. Before he could salute, he heard Dai Wang ask:
"We were discussing something just now, and you hesitated to speak, but you have something to say?"
"By the way, in your opinion, how will King Qi react to the matter of the shrine?"
Wen Xunpeng was overjoyed. He was the only one qualified to answer this kind of question. After all, he had been under King Qi for many years and knew King Qi quite well.
He thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, Mr. Lu and I have discussed this matter. I dare not say anything else. One thing is certain, that there have been changes in the past two years. Each change has led to the rise of Your Majesty. Even if there is no
The evidence is that the king took action, but the kings of Shu and Qi are under great pressure and must counterattack."
"Oh?" Su Ziji remained calm and nodded: "Continue talking."
"yes!"
Wen Xunpeng continued: "If you want to counterattack, now is the opportunity. Regarding the shrine, seventeen shrines were destroyed in a row. We are the villains, we bear the consequences, and we bear the resentment. Although we just discussed it, we have to bear it."
Some temples were afraid of the power of Heaven and had to surrender."
"But these fruits will solidify the foundation of my palace. Because of this, the two kings of Shu and Qi will definitely pick peaches."
Su Ziji didn't say anything. Wen Xunpeng took a look at his expression and said: "Moreover, the king has won consecutive victories. Not only King Qi of Shu wants to destroy the king's strength, he is also afraid of the officials in the government and the public. Many people also think the same way."
Knowing that success or failure depended on one fell swoop, Wen Xunpeng gritted his teeth and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this is the general trend. It is not impossible to go against this trend. I am afraid that it will not only get twice the result with half the effort, but also lead to greater disasters."
Su Ziji was startled, his eyes flashed, and he said: "You said there is a bigger trouble?"
After asking gently, Wen Xunpeng was sweating, but he answered decisively: "Yes!"
Su Ziji pondered for a long time, then just smiled: "Then Mr. Yiwen, how should we deal with it now?"
Wen Xunpeng bowed: "You just need to resist. When you can no longer resist, hand it over again."
Seeing that the king was listening quietly, he added: "Your Majesty, when it comes to fighting for the heir, it is not just about self-improvement, but it is better for the enemy to make a fool of himself. Although it is beneficial for the king to get this peach, it may violate public taboos.
"
"And the resentment in the temple is actually a disaster, but since there are people picking peaches, why not detonate it on others?"
To a certain extent, anyone who is strong will be tabooed by the emperor. The rapid enhancement of Dai Wangfu will attract attention. If he continues to become stronger, he may become the target of everyone.
After Wen Xunpeng finished speaking, he bowed in silence, waiting for Su Ziji's decision.
