Guo Xu was very dissatisfied with Lu Zhongtian's tone. Although he was his grandfather, he spoke to him as if he was scolding his subordinates, which made people feel very uncomfortable. Although in terms of seniority, he was his grandfather. But the title came up
He said that he was a prince and a prince, so Lu Zhongtian was reprimanding him as his subordinate.
"Grandpa, what happened? Did I do something wrong? Don't you also hope to get rid of that Lin Jue as soon as possible? This person's existence is even more disgusting than the original Yan Fang and the two, but my father favors him.
Concubine Rong didn't deal with such a big matter. Instead, she became more and more popular. This time I find the opportunity, how can I let him go? If I kill him, won't it be settled once and for all?" Guo Xu said solemnly.
"But did you get rid of him? Did you succeed?" Lu Zhongtian sneered.
Guo Xu was speechless for a moment and frowned: "This time it was an accident. If Master Huang in your house hadn't refused to take action, he would have been dealt with long ago. I will definitely not miss it next time."
"Next time? There is a next time? Do you know how much trouble you have caused? Then Lin Jue has already entered the palace. I have already received the news. The emperor is extremely angry about this matter. Maybe a big disaster will come soon. You
I don't know that the danger is coming, but I'm still thinking about the next time. Guo Xu, Guo Xu, please wake up. At this time, what you did is simply devastating. If the emperor knows that it was you, I'm afraid you will not be able to survive.
Let's go. Talking about the position of prince, it's hard to say whether you can even keep your position as prince. You are too confused, too confused, I don't know what to say." Lu Zhongtian clapped his legs and shook his head repeatedly, feeling sad.
Guo Xu also realized that the matter might be a bit serious, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, calm down, and Lin Jue has no evidence. How does he know it was me? Even if he doubts me, he has to provide evidence."
Lu Zhongtian sighed: "How do you know he has no evidence? Your people suffered heavy casualties, how can you guarantee that they were not caught alive by Lin Jue? What if someone confesses?"
Guo Xu frowned and said: "Probably not. These people are all strictly trained dead soldiers, and they know the consequences of confessing. They all have the handle in the hands of their grandson. If grandson doesn't have this, what will I do to send them?
Act? Don’t worry about that.”
Lu Zhongtian frowned and said, "Can you guarantee it?"
Guo Xu nodded and said: "Sun'er absolutely guarantees that the families of these people are under my control. Sun'er took precautions when selecting people. I did not let the more than 80 people with reputation come back.
I sent them into hiding for the time being. Then Lin Jue doesn’t have anyone alive to interrogate, so please feel at ease, grandpa."
When Lu Zhongtian heard this, his face turned slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "This is like a sentence. But even so, this matter is still extremely dangerous. It is not a good thing for these people to be alive. It is best if all of them die to be safe. As long as
Lin Jue has no evidence, so the emperor will not punish you. But even if you pass the test this time, you must take a warning. You made a bad move, you know?"
Guo Xu frowned and said nothing.
Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice: "Where is Zheng Zhixue who gave you advice? Where is he?"
Guo Xu was stunned and knew that he couldn't hide it. The plan for this attack was planned by Zheng Zhixue. Zheng Zhixue tried his best to encourage Guo Xu to attack Lin Jue. It can be said that the entire plan was planned by Zheng Zhixue. After the last incident of teaching bandits
After the aftermath of the incident, Zheng Zhixue has become Guo Xu’s most trusted think tank
.
"This matter has nothing to do with him. It was grandson who made the final decision." Guo Xu defended Zheng Zhixue.
"I'm asking you where Zheng Zhixue is? I'm not asking if he has anything to do with it." Lu Zhongtian shouted.
Guo Xu had no choice but to order people to invite Zheng Zhixue. Zheng Zhixue is now the chief historian of the palace, with a position below one person and above ten thousand people. He does not want to dress as casually as before. He put on a sapphire blue gown and it fit well.
He seemed to be in high spirits. When he heard the summons, he thought it was Prime Minister Lu and the prince who invited him to participate in the discussion, and he couldn't help but feel proud. It seems that Prime Minister Lu also knows what he is capable of. Before Prime Minister Lu sits down, he should be more cautious. After all, he still has to rely on himself.
He came to take a step further. Without his support, I would not be able to take a step further.
"I see Zheng Zhixue, see Prime Minister Lu, and see the prince." Zheng Zhixue stepped forward and bowed to the ground, bowing in salute.
"Come here, tie him up! Drag him to the yard and beat him to death." Lu Zhongtian said sternly.
Zheng Zhixue was dumbfounded, and Guo Xu was also dumbfounded, and said hurriedly: "Grandpa..."
"If you don't let me capture him, drag him out and beat him to death. You are surrounded by incompetent people like this, who come up with some bad ideas. People like this will only spoil big things. Beat him to death, beat him to death." Lu Zhongtian shouted loudly.
Guo Xu had never seen his grandfather so angry. At this moment, Lu Zhongtian lost his former elegant demeanor and was as angry as a lion. Guo Xu finally understood that his grandfather was really angry this time. In this situation,
It is not appropriate for him to say any more. Without his grandfather's support, he will have nothing.
Several guards dragged Zheng Zhixue out. Zheng Zhixue was so distraught that he shouted loudly: "Spare your life, Mr. Lu, please spare your life. I am very loyal. My lord, your lord, please save my life and beg for mercy on my behalf."
Guo Xu turned his head and frowned in silence. Lu Zhongtian shouted angrily: "You people instigated the prince to do these things without considering the consequences. The current situation is all caused by you, and you deserve to die. Your long tongue is disgusting.
If you continue to cry out for injustice, I will cut out your tongue."
Zheng Zhixue screamed for mercy, but there was no response. The guards dragged him to the yard, flipped him to the ground, and beat him with all their strength. Zheng Zhixue was a weak man, how could he withstand this?
When the stick went down, he was already dying, with broken bones and tendons. One of the guards had sympathy in his heart, and it would undoubtedly make Zheng Zhixue suffer more if he continued to beat him like this, so he swung the big stick and hit Zheng Zhixue's head hard. Zheng Zhixue suffered a tragic death.
The screams stopped suddenly. The stick completely killed him and ended his pain.
After checking, the guards confirmed that Zheng Zhixue was dead, so they returned to the hall to report. Lu Zhongtian snorted and nodded to express his knowledge, while Guo Xu looked extremely ugly and stood there without saying a word. After the guards retreated, the hall was silent for a long time.
Afterwards, Lu Zhongtian spoke softly to break the silence.
"Guo Xu, don't blame your grandfather for being like this. Everything I did was for your own good. Your actions yesterday were too reckless, and now the situation is extremely unfavorable to us. Although the conversation between the emperor and Lin Jue this morning
We have no way of knowing, but I can guess what Lin Jue will say. I know you are not convinced. Yes, Lin Jue, the little thief, would die a hundred times. He has ruined too many things for us.
If it weren't for him, you would be the prince now. However, you must think carefully about dealing with him. Until now, you think you can deal with him easily.
If you can pay him, you are too confused. Even if there was an opportunity to kill him yesterday, were you fully prepared? Three hundred people went to kill Lin Jue? Have you forgotten that he dared to attack with a few hundred cavalry?
It's about the camp of tens of thousands of bandits. This man's ability to lead the army in battle is much better than yours. As soon as the war started, he sent people back to the city to ask for help, and you couldn't even stop him from doing so. You were even in the half company
You have no idea of setting up an interception checkpoint on the road, which shows how poorly you think about it."
Guo Xu frowned and said nothing. Although he was a little unconvinced, he also regretted it. Yes, why didn't he set up two checkpoints on the road? The situation yesterday...if the reinforcements hadn't arrived, there would have been no difference between victory and defeat. He
Really poorly thought out.
"...I won't talk about these things anymore. When you become the emperor in the future, you won't have to lead the army to fight in person. The emperor does not need to know everything. He only needs to learn how to use his subordinates. But that requires a more advanced strategy. Judging from this incident
Come on, you still need to learn a lot and think more. I would like to say simply, didn’t you consider the possibility of failure before doing this? Maybe you think that even if you fail, Lin Jue has no evidence to prove that it was you.
, but you must not forget that when you forced Lin Jue to retreat, you were actually tearing up some kind of tacit understanding before. For example, when you kidnapped Lu Wu and Lin Hu, he kidnapped Tianci
We were forced to make an exchange. Both of us tacitly kept silent about this matter. That was because we were each holding on to each other's leverage, and speaking out would do no good to anyone. This is the bottom line, even if we fight, we must have
Bottom line. It's like beating a dog. If you force the dog into a corner, you have to beat it to death with a stick. If you can't kill it, it will jump up and bite you desperately because it has no escape route. You couldn't kill it yesterday.
Lin Jue, who knows what he said to the emperor this morning? Haven't you realized the seriousness of the matter?" Lu Zhongtian said slowly.
Guo Xu was startled, turned around and shouted: "Grandpa, what you mean is that he will tell my father everything about what happened before?"
Lu Zhongtian frowned and said, "I don't know if he did this. But when a dog is driven crazy, anything can happen. If you want to kill him and his whole family, will he still be polite to you?
I have always told you that a small impatience will lead to a big plan, and the harm will not harm the wife and children. But you just don’t listen. You hate Lin Jue and even the people around him. Are you not forcing him to fight with you? If you are only targeting
He, I'm afraid he is not like this. You still lack understanding of your opponent. You can't listen to what I said at all. You just want to go your own way. Lin Jue has the Princess Liang's Mansion and Princess Green Dance beside him. Even if you yesterday
If it succeeds, it will be a big trouble. Don’t you think about this before acting? "
Guo Xu shook his head and said: "Grandpa, I can't control so much anymore. I'm going crazy. My father is alienating me day by day. I've only seen him less than three times in the past two months. The way he looks at me is wrong.
It was as if he was penetrating my body and looking into my heart. Grandfather, if I didn’t kill Lin Jue and let that guy wander around my father, I would have no chance of becoming the prince. That’s why I
Will do whatever it takes. Grandfather, do you mean that Lin Jue might tell his father about me tying up Lu Wu this morning? That’s the end of the world. Wouldn’t his father think that I’ve done something to my sister?
What should we do? What should we do? Is this thief really going to do this? He also kidnapped my uncle, and his crime is not light. Will he say anything?"
