Chapter 465 Hidden Murder

There was a little error in yesterday's chapter, which has been revised.

*******
On a winter night, it snowed heavily.

This may be the last snow of this year, so it is extraordinarily cold.Looking out from Duyoubao's cell, there is nothing else but white.The cold wind was blowing, and the snow was flying.The scattered lights of the Lanchi camp in the distance also became blurred.

Dong Ji knelt on the couch, quietly looking at Jia Xu standing by the prison window.

On the surface, this is a very ordinary person.But when you get close to him, you will feel the wisdom he possesses.

Dong Ji had known Jia Xu for a long time, but he didn't know him very well.

When he learned that Dong Bi sent him here to serve under Jia Xu, Dong Ji felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But for more than a month, Dong Ji felt more and more that Jia Xu was unpredictable.

Maybe what my father said was right, this is a character that no one can see through.Either you trust him unreservedly, or you kill him.If you stay with him, but you can't let him fully display his talent, then it is better not to use it, it is definitely a shameful waste.

But who can use Jia Xu?
In this world, except for my father who can use Jia Xu, everyone else...

Thinking of this, Dong Ji couldn't help but click his tongue softly.But he immediately realized his gaffe, and straightened his face, standing still.

"The eldest son asked the old minister just now why the lord is unwilling to accept the closure of the country. I must have understood by now."

"Yes, military advisor!"

Jia Xu came back, knelt on the couch, and looked at Dong Ji with a smile.

"Then tell me!"

"If my father is enfeoffed, he must leave the feudal domain. In this way, the structure of Chang'an will inevitably be chaotic, and my father's control over Chang'an will also be weakened. Not only that, but if my father is called lonely, he will definitely stand on the cusp of the storm. Above. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, except for Han Xin and Zhao Tuo, the Han family has never had a king with a different surname. If the father accepts the feudal state, then the image established before will be completely destroyed."

Jia Xu smiled slightly, "Is that all?"

What Dong Ji said was not wrong.

Since Dong Bi assisted Liu Bian, he has always been a pillar of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty.It was a really good gimmick that attracted countless talents.Some people say that Dong Bi is a hypocrite, some people say that Dong Bi has malicious intentions... But anyway, the common people agree with Dong Bi.

At the age of 16, it is not easy to see through the mysteries inside.

But from Jia Xu's point of view, Dong Ji only saw the surface, but did not see the depth.

He twirled a pickled soybean, chewed it slowly in his mouth, tasted the various flavors in it, and did not speak for a long time.

"Eldest son, the clan's trick is very beautiful. The eldest son thought of the harm of the lord accepting the feudal state, but he didn't think about the consequences of the lord not accepting the feudal state. Therefore, regardless of whether the lord accepts the feudal state, the clan This time it was a win.”

Dong Ji couldn't help but sit upright, "I also ask the military advisor for advice."

"My lord's side is different from other princes. Most of them are from poor families. Some of these people follow the lord sincerely, and some follow the lord with hope. You have heard that Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty traveled across Hebei, and Geng Chunjin Remonstrance story?"

Dong Ji was startled for a moment, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

After Emperor Gengshi killed the elder brother of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu rebelled, and his army became more and more prosperous and stronger.So Geng Chun, one of Yuntai's 28 generals, appealed to Liu Xiu and asked Liu Xiu to proclaim himself emperor.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Many people who follow the lord do not want to fight for wealth and honor. If the lord is enfeoffed, it can be regarded as sending a message to these people: I want to get my hands on the country. And these people will be very happy, and in the future Started from a humble family, but became a founding father."

Dong Ji understood what Jia Xu meant, and couldn't help but gasp.

Jia Xu went on to say: "But if the lord does not accept it, it will surely chill their hearts. If you accept it, it will chill the hearts of others... So, no matter how the lord decides, it will eventually cause internal cracks. At this time At this moment, Master Yu is definitely not a good thing."

"Dare to ask the military division, how to resolve it?"

"Just look at what the lord thinks, what does the Emperor Buddha in Weiyang Palace think?"

Dong Ji was a little confused!

What Jia Xu said was unfathomable, and he couldn't help but ask again: "Military Master, please forgive Ji Yulu for not knowing the meaning of the military master."

"If the Holy Majesty has developed evil intentions towards the lord, no matter whether the lord refuses or not, he will be called a national traitor; therefore, it depends on how he decides. If the emperor has no malice towards the lord, then this matter is obviously from the hands of the clan. It has nothing to do with him. He will suppress this matter, and even treat it as if it never happened. But if the emperor... just wait and see, he will definitely bring up the matter of closing the country again in a few days."

Dong Ji nodded slightly, "However, this notoriety has already been born. No matter whether the father accepts it or not, everyone in the world will think that it is what the father meant."

Jia Xu smiled, and suddenly asked: "My lord, can you send someone to pay attention to Liu Zhen?"

"After I took over, I have sent people to monitor the clans in Chang'an... Well, I remembered what the military adviser said. The day before yesterday, Liu Zhen had a happy son, so many people were invited to a banquet. But after the banquet, each family The clan left, only Liu Xian left later. It is said that he brought his nephew and discussed secretly with Liu Zhen in the study for a long time, and Liu Zhen personally sent Liu Xian and Liu Xian away."

Jia Xu couldn't help laughing!

"My lord, it's not easy to not doubt that week..."

"You mean..."

Dong Ji's eyes sparkled, he stood up respectfully, and said softly: "Ji understands, thank you for your guidance today."

Jia Xu leaned on the quilt, looked out of the window with blurred eyes, and said softly, "It's already the New Year, so this year must be very exciting."

Dong Ji smiled, "It must be so!"

******
To be honest, Dong Bi refused to close the country in the court, and didn't think too much about it.

Firstly, it was too sudden, and secondly, in his memory, he remembered that Master Yuan Kuocheng had a pity when he told Cao Cao that he was called lonely.Master Yuan said: Cao Cao's reputation was not too bad before he was called Gu.It's just that he is called lonely, so that he bears the name of a national thief.Inside, Xun Yu, who was Cao Cao's right-hand man, also turned against him because of this, and was finally forced by Cao Cao to die of hunger strike.

For the Han Dynasty, that should be the last counterattack.

But Cao Cao's bloody massacre at that time also hurt Cao Cao's own vitality.

Especially the death of Xun Yu was undoubtedly the biggest loss for Cao Cao.That is a character like Xiao He, who can be replaced by extraordinary people.

So instinctively, Dong Bi refused to seal the country.

And angrily reprimanded Liu Zhen and others in the court hall, which made this court meeting break up unhappy.

After returning home, Zhuge Jin and Chen Gong came to the door immediately after.

The three of them discussed secretly in the study for a long time, until it was almost dawn, Zhuge Jin and Chen Gong left and only Dong Bi was left sitting in the study.

This new year is really not going well!
I didn't expect the clan to devise such a poisonous plan, and the desire to kill me is endless.

Dong Bi clenched his fist subconsciously and slammed it hard on the table.He only heard a bang, and the hard nanmu Chang'an was smashed by his punch.

I have no intention of hurting others, but people have the intention of destroying me...

Don't you think that my butcher's knife is not good enough?

"Brother Dong, why did you get so angry so early in the morning?"

Huang Yueying appeared at the door, looked at Dong Bi with a smile, and walked into the study with a bowl of steaming porridge in her hand.

"Oh, I just remembered some unpleasant things, and I just had a violent attack for a while."

Dong Yu stood up with a smile, took the porridge bowl from Huang Yueying, and asked with a smile, "Why did you get up so early today?"

"Brother Dong, he usually wakes up very early, okay?"

Huang Yueying said angrily, and then said softly: "Actually, the elder sisters already know about the matter in the court... They are very worried about you, and they are afraid of disturbing your mind. Brother Dong, don't let yourself get angry, you know, The entire family is watching you."

Hearing this, Dong Bi could not help but take a deep breath.

"Yueying, you tell my sisters and them that I'm fine...the swords and swords have come out, are you afraid of this mere conspiracy?"

After speaking, he sat down, took a sip of the porridge, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, when will Mr. Huang come to Chang'an?"

Dong Bi and Huang Yueying's marriage is already a certainty.

Cai Yan finally found out that Wenxi's famous person, Gaoping Hou Wuqiu Xing, who was also Wuqiujian's father, came forward and went to Wangbei County to be a matchmaker.

Ordinarily speaking, although Wu Qiuxing is Lord Marquis, his reputation is still somewhat lacking.

But after all, Dong Bi can be found now, and there are not many people who can stand side by side with Huang Chengyan, and Wu Qiuxing can be regarded as a relatively close figure.

Of course, the Wuqiu family attached great importance to this matter.

Because in their view, this is undoubtedly an opportunity to get closer to Dong Bi, so they are naturally very caring.

Huang Yueying blushed, and said softly: "Senior brother Fei sent a letter earlier saying that father is already on his way. According to the itinerary, it will be around fifteen."

Dong Bi put down the porridge bowl and held Huang Yueying's hand, "But Yueying has to wait a little longer!"

Huang Yueying's face became even redder, and she pulled out her hand, "Who wants to wait, don't be too complacent... Be careful that father will look down on you then!"

Talking and running outside.

Dong Bi took a step up and said, "If he doesn't agree, I will marry you as well."

After such an interruption, Dong Bi's mood eased a lot.

Someone moved another desk and handed over the messy study to Li Kui to tidy up. Dong Bi walked out of the room alone and wandered aimlessly in the mansion.Not half sleepy, but feeling very tired.The cool air cheered him up a little, but his mood was still very low.

Your Majesty, are you really going to attack me?
The words of living up to me yesterday are still ringing in my ears, but today... what should I do?
Although Zhuge Jin already had countermeasures, how should he make up for the harm caused by this incident to others?
It's really a headache!
The sound of footsteps disturbed Dong's thoughts.

Looking up, she saw Xiao Wenji was walking out neatly dressed.Before he knew it, he came to the backyard, and Dong Bi suddenly stopped his daughter.

"Where are you going this early in the morning?"

Cai Jie hesitated and didn't answer, and lowered his head, not daring to make eye contact with Dong Bi.

"Father, my sister is going to find the elder brother of the Gong family... Hehe, it is said that today there will be a lecture by students from the third school, and the elder brother of the Gong family will also participate."

Dong Shuo jumped out with one arm hanging and said loudly.

Cai Jie blushed, glared at Dong Shuo viciously, and then said softly, "Father, don't listen to my brother's nonsense, I just..."

"Okay, okay, just go to listen to the scriptures, as long as you are happy."

Dong Pi smiled, stretched out his hand to tighten the cloak around Cai Jie, and said softly: "But be careful, Chang'an is not very safe now."

"My daughter knows!"

Dong Bi waved his hand and told Cai Jie to leave.But before she could take a few more steps, she suddenly said again: "Wenji, if it's convenient, bring that grandson home to have a look... Dad has no other intentions, just want to take a look, and won't take it He ate it."

"Daddy!"

Cai Jie slipped and almost sat on the ground.

Fendi was blushing, like the sunset glow in the sky... She let out a reproachful cry, turned her head and hurried away.But when he heard Dong Bi behind him, he couldn't stop laughing.Involuntarily, he quickened his pace and turned around the corner door in the blink of an eye.

Watching his daughter's back disappear, Dong Bi's gaze suddenly became extraordinarily solemn.

He looked at Dong Shuo who was alive and kicking, but he was thinking in his heart: ten years... There is still one year to go, only ten years, and the answer should be revealed!
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Shuo'er, go find your Uncle Yuanrong and ask him to take your Uncle Shi over, and tell him that I have something important to ask you Uncle Shi to come and discuss."

"Here!"

Dong Shuo stepped in to salute in a dignified manner, and then galloped away.

Dong Bi clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the tree trunk beside him.The branches rustled, and the snowflakes fell one after another.
