Volume Four Chapter 480 The Emperor's Enmity

tick tock...

In the dark cell, the water droplets formed by the early morning humidity kept falling, knocking out a rhythmic rhythm. An old man with gray hair, wearing steel shackles all over his body, all made of rank five spirit soldier forging materials, but closed his eyes lightly, humming a little song with a comfortable face, following the rhythm of the water droplets, his head slightly Shiver seemed to be enjoying himself quite a bit, and he couldn't see the embarrassment of being behind bars at all!

Kara!

Suddenly, there was a soft sound, and the door of the cell squeaked and was slammed open. The old man also froze suddenly, stopped, opened his eyes, and looked at the position of the prison door.

There, a figure in a yellow brocade suit walked in slowly.

"Hehehe... Prime Minister Zhuge, are you living well here?" The beard shook slightly, and the emperor walked down the steps slowly, with the smiles of winners all over his face.

Smiling noncommittally, Zhuge Changfeng didn't have the slightest sadness on his face, but rather relaxed: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, this old man is all right here. Without court battles and intrigue, the old man's heart is much calmer! "

"Hahaha... The Prime Minister is really in a good mood. Even though he was defeated in a mess, he was still able to enjoy himself, and I had to admire it!" The emperor laughed ironically.

Shaking his head slowly, Zhuge Changfeng said lightly: "Failure is defeat, even if you are annoyed, it won't help, why don't you calm down and enjoy the rest of the time? By the way, Your Majesty is here today. Take away the rest of the leisurely days, old man."

"No, no, even though you, Prime Minister Zhuge, will surely die, because you are too dangerous, I will never rest assured that I will leave you to my children and grandchildren to deal with after a hundred years. Once you get out of trouble, there will be endless troubles. Before you die, I will give you death first! However, it is not now. You and I have worked together for nearly a hundred years, and you are considered close friends and friends, and we all know each other's temperament very well. If you die first, I will feel lonely! "

"Friends? Hehehe..."

Cursing his lips in disdain, Zhuge Changfeng shook his head and laughed: "Your Majesty, do you have any confidantes? We are just together, and we are just opponents who have been biting each other for decades. Friends... Maybe this old man had fantasized about it before, but later You know, Your Majesty will never make any friends. The emperor's mind, alone, how can there be any friends!"

Hearing this, the emperor was silent for a while, and there was also a sadness on his face, but he passed away in a flash: "Yes, Jiangshan, society and grain are more important than everything, I am the emperor of this country, how can I become friends with ordinary people? But You should also know that I did fantasize about all this. When I worked with you, I really trusted you and treated you as a confidant!"

"But in the end, you still shot the old man!"

Unconsciously laughing all his life, Zhuge Changfeng looked up at the dark ceiling in the dungeon, his eyes dazed, and he seemed to be caught in a deep memory: "Do you remember Prime Minister Yang? At that time, the old man was only a small official who had just entered the official career. Thanks to His Majesty's love, I was flattered, and rose all the way! At that time, you said that Prime Minister Yang covered the sky with one hand, controlled the imperial court, was a traitor, and had the heart of rebellion. You must work with Weichen to eradicate the traitor, and then let Weichen call him the prime minister to create a prosperous world together. !"

"That's right, I didn't say anything wrong at the time, that person did have ulterior motives, formed a party for personal gain, and was suspected of rebellion!" The emperor stroked his beard, but there was a frightening light in his eyes.

Without realizing it, he shook his head with a smile, and Zhuge Changfeng continued: "I felt the same way at the time, so I worked with His Majesty to collect evidence and took him down. However, when I went to the Yang residence to arrest him in high spirits. I said, be careful of Your Majesty, and commit suicide on the spot. At the time, I didn't know what it meant, and I thought it was a provocation by a rebellious minister, so I didn't care."

"However, after ten years as a minister, he was conscientious and fulfilled his duty, but the same thing happened again. Your Majesty found a younger official, and with his passion and his intention to serve the court, he lured him He attacked me. I was confused at the time, why did His Majesty treat me like this? Later, I secretly forbeared, no matter how provocative you were, I did not move. The old man of the dynasty, loyal and loyal, did nothing wrong, and was forced to rebel by His Majesty's design. At that time, I finally understood what Yang Chengxiang said on his deathbed. The heart of an emperor is really unfathomable!"

"The position of prime minister is full of power and power, so one can't let one person stay still. But as an old minister, if I move him for no reason, I may be criticized by the world, which will chill the hearts of all officials, so I can only try to get rid of him."

With a cold look on his face, the emperor said calmly, "But Zhuge Cheng is much smarter than him, for so many years, I haven't been able to get you any clues, and even the people who are arranged behind you and are going to replace you are also completely ignorant. You removed it by various means. At that time, I was sure that Yun Xuanji’s prophecy was indeed true, and you should be the head of the four pillars. Later, you were indeed powerful, which shocked the seven families and made me achieve it. A balanced situation that faces inward and outward!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Changfeng shook his head with a wry smile, with an indescribable feeling in his heart: "It turns out that everything is still under His Majesty's control, although the old man has noticed a little bit, but he thinks that as long as it works properly, it may be possible to get rid of this problem. Everything. I didn't expect, sigh... Your Majesty, everyone says that this old man is the number one wise star in Tianyu. But in this old man's heart, His Majesty is the real No. 1 wise man, and I can't compare to your Majesty!"

"Where, Prime Minister, don't be too modest. I'm just a foolish monarch. Like you brought the Quanrong army into Tianyu this time, as the emperor, I didn't notice it at all. In the end, I was besieged by the Quanrong and cut off one-tenth of the land. , I had to make him retreat and suffer humiliation, which is also a helpless act. Alas, I am ashamed of the people of Tianyu, ashamed of the ancestors!"

The emperor let out a long sigh, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

When Zhuge Changfeng saw it, he smiled and shook his head: "It seems... the name of traitorousness here will also fall on the old man. Your Majesty has a serious plan, pretending to be a dazed ruler for nearly a hundred years. This great perseverance really makes the old man admire!"

"However, the hat on the old man's head is a traitor. Anyway, the old man has already looked down on everything. It doesn't matter even if it has been tainted for thousands of years. There is only one thing that has been lingering in my heart for a long time, and I am puzzled. Please explain your doubts!"

"But it doesn't matter!" The emperor waved his sleeves, and the spring breeze was proud.

After pondering for a while, Zhuge Changfeng said quietly: "When the old man knew the two saints of heaven and earth, he was still a scholar. How could His Majesty arrange them with Weichen at that time?"

"Hehehe... I have to thank the High Priest for this, Yun Xuanji!"

With a grin, the emperor was complacent and seemed to be quite satisfied with this move: "You shouldn't forget that you and Dugu Zhantian were both recommended by the high priest. In fact, before he recommended you, it already foreshadowed your appearance. It will be the blessing of Tianyu. It is I who let him slow down to observe your mind!"

"At that time, I found out that although Dugu Zhantian is wise and tactful, he is stupid and easy to control. And you Zhuge Changfeng, although you were an ignorant young man at the time, but you have an exquisite mind with seven apertures, and you are very smart, and you will definitely be in the future. It's an old fox. Just in case, I let the two saints of heaven and earth, who have been out of the mountains for a long time, pretend to be injured and be rescued by you. Afterwards, they have friendship, and they are easy to be used by you and regarded as cronies. "

"Furthermore, in order not to arouse your suspicions, every time you took the exam in those years, although you were well-mannered, I secretly instructed the examiner to let you down. For three years in a row, you couldn't even enter the gate of the imperial court, how could you find out that this The two saints of heaven and earth that I met at the time are the assistants sent by me to you, and they also have the role of monitoring? Later, the situation was almost gone, and when you were about to lose confidence, I asked Yun Xuanji to come forward and recommend you!"

All the past events were clear in his chest, Zhuge Changfeng couldn't help taking a deep breath, and shook his head with a wry smile: "It turns out that everything is already in His Majesty's hands, and this minister has been fighting against His Majesty for decades.

"Where, the Prime Minister has done a very good job, otherwise, my plan to wipe out the major forces in Tianyu today would be difficult to implement, hahaha..." He couldn't help laughing, the emperor seemed to have truly mastered the world.

At this moment, a grey-robed figure walked in, bowed and reported, "Your Majesty, there is urgent information!"

Zhuge Changfeng raised his eyes and glanced at the man, and raised his brows involuntarily: "You...you are You Ming of the Nether Valley, I remember you were with the Second Prince, why..."

"Prime Minister Zhuge, I'm not afraid to tell you now that the rebellion of the second emperor was also instigated by You Ming. Knowing your son Mo Ruofu, that child's temperament is too impatient. If someone next to him encourages him, he will take the bait." Looking at Zhuge Changfeng provocatively, he said with a smile: "Also, the Prime Minister of the next emperor's assistant has also been decided, it's quiet and bright!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" You Ming hurriedly bowed down, showing respect.

Zhuge Changfeng raised his brows and sighed: "Your Majesty's intention is to use the second prince's rebellion, let me lead the old man to do it. In order to lead the old man to take action, he even used his own parents and sons to make him a bad name for usurping the throne, forever and ever. Don't turn over. Your Majesty's mind is really deep enough. The so-called tiger's poison does not eat its children, your Majesty is much more ruthless than a tiger!"

"Hmph, isn't this because you old guy is too cautious? I've already sent everyone around me, but you still won't do it. If you don't do it, as the prime minister, how can I deal with you so easily? How can you kill all your gangsters in one go?" The emperor knew that he was mocking himself for being vicious, so he couldn't help snorting.

You Ming respectfully handed over an emerald jade slip, waiting for the emperor to check it.

But before the emperor could take it, Zhuge Changfeng said again: "Your Majesty, the old minister is here all day long without seeing the light of day and knows nothing about the outside world. This news is important, can you let the old minister also listen to it?"

The outstretched palm paused, the emperor turned his head and glanced at him, narrowed his eyes, and sneered: "Hmph, you are already in prison, what does it matter even if you know something? Well, You Ming examines the content of the jade slip. , I report to the two of you and Prime Minister Zhuge to listen and see if there is any good news. Probably, the army of Dugu has been destroyed, hahaha..."

The emperor laughed wildly, but Zhuge Changfeng sat there quietly, his ears floating slightly.

You Ming took the order, and his mind sank into the jade slip for a long time, but he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes showed surprise, and murmured: "Qi, Your Majesty, now the Luo family has brought the Quanrong army into Tianyu territory. , spread to all corners of Tianyu. In the name of King Qin's rescue and expelling barbarians, there are now nearly one million troops!"

"what?"

The emperor was startled, as if he had eaten a dead fly, his throat rumbled, but he couldn't say a word.

When Zhuge Changfeng heard this, he laughed loudly and clapped his hands to cheer: "Hahaha... as expected of that kid Zhuo Fan, he did a good job with ingenious schemes and tricks! Your Majesty, this time you shot yourself in the foot with a rock. what!"

The emperor glared at him fiercely, his teeth rattling.

Zhuo Fan, this damned little beast dares to take the plan, and it is really unreasonable to use this matter in my hands...
