Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 484 If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it (fourth more)
Chapter 488 What to do with the sin

Dong Run immediately ordered the troops to stop the attack, and went back to clear up those defeated soldiers of Sima Xun.

After Sima Xun hit a wall in Chang'an, he was defeated by Zhang Wen and fled. Many Sima Xun soldiers hid in the deep mountains and old forests, occupied the mountain as king, and became bandits.

Although the combat effectiveness of these bandits is not strong, it is extremely detrimental to the development of Guanzhong.

Zhang Wen rushed to Nanyang to take office.

In this way, Guanzhong fell into a weird peace. The Wei army seemed to be unstable in the rear, and was going to settle the rear first, and then fight Fu Jianjian.

What's even more weird is the East Palace, where the crown prince Ran Zhi is willing to confide in his confidants, and everyone is as mournful as a concubine.

Ran Zhi seemed to be out of his wits in the main seat, and Ran Zhi choked with tears like a wild spring and said: "I'm going to be in great trouble now!"

The best actors in the world are not those who get Oscar statuettes.The best performance award should go to those politicians.Politicians are the best at acting. They can cry when it is appropriate to cry, and they can cry to the heart.They laugh when they should.Even if their mother died, they couldn't stop them from laughing.

As the prince Ran Zhi, his acting skills are not bad.The eyelids opened and closed, and the tears were like broken pearls.

Youdao means that if you make a mistake, you will lose the whole situation.Since Ran Zhi assassinated Ran Min secretly, he thought of bearing Ran Min's anger.Now he has got the news that Murong Chui entered Ran Ming's tent late at night, although he did not get the specific content of the conversation between Ran Ming and Murong Chui, but Murong Chui was protected by Ran Ming's people the next day.

Ran Zhi's head was not given for nothing, he quickly thought of the only possibility, which was that Murong Chui told Ran Ming that he supported Murong Chui's assassination of Ran Min.

Now Ran Ming must be on guard against killing himself, once Ran Ming brings Murong Chui back to Ye City, it will be the moment when Ran Zhi will be ruined and his body will be ruined.

Ran Zhi didn't allow himself to go to that point, so he had to act first.

"His Royal Highness, what happened here?" Pei Bi said, "We can't solve any problems in a hurry, and we can solve them slowly!"

Ran Zhi cried and said: "It's not that good little brother who is lonely, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Murong Chui poured into him, but he actually wrote a letter to the emperor to pardon him, not only for Murong Chui, but also for those who committed crimes in our Great Wei Dynasty. The Xianbei white captives who committed heinous crimes!"

As soon as Ran Zhi's words came out, the prince's confidantes became angry.The Confucian scholars in this era are actually different from those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They are not so pedantic, nor are they so unbearable.They are proficient in all the six Confucian arts of Confucius.What's even more rare is that Confucius' thoughts have not been changed beyond recognition.Anyone understands the truth of raising tigers.

"It's unreasonable, An dare to do that!"

"Lawless, don't you think that Wei's law is nothing!"

"The white captives raped and plundered and did all sorts of crimes. How could they be easily pardoned? If they were pardoned, how could those innocent people in Wei Dynasty be able to rest in peace."

"Repay kindness with kindness, and complain straight! How can you be so magnanimous to such a white-eyed wolf?"

In the Yin'an Hall of the Eastern Palace, Ran Zhi's eyes were full of tears, and the conversation changed, and all the subordinates in the Eastern Palace complained about their bitterness.Of course, Ran Zhi would not reveal the fact that he was behind the scenes to assassinate Ran Min, but avoided the seriousness, saying that his status was threatened by Ran Ming, and he might not be able to keep his position as the crown prince, and he might even be abolished Lose.

The voices of all the subordinates in the Eastern Palace angrily scolded Ran Ming.In fact, it wasn't that Ran Mingzhen did something outrageous, but that Ran clearly threatened their interests.As the subjects of the East Palace, even though they are not of high rank, everyone knows that their future is limitless.As close friends of the prince, they have the merits of following the dragon. As long as Ran Zhi ascends the throne, they will rise to the top.At that time, he may become a great official in the frontier, and he will be in the center of the master, and he will be a minister.

But now, Ran Ming's sudden appearance has seriously threatened Ran Zhi's status.If Ran Zhi can't go further, how can they have any future?They have already been branded with Ran Zhi's faction. If Ran Ming succeeds in seizing the heir, they will be the most suppressed group.

At that time, don't talk about the glory and wealth, promotion and fortune, whether you can keep the guy who eats on your shoulders is a bit hanging.

Donggong Zhanshi and Pei Bi, who joined the army as a recorder, are young talents of Wenxi Pei family in Hedong.He didn't scold Ran Ming like others, but carefully analyzed Ran Zhi's intentions.Politicians are all outstanding film stars, and Pei Bi's thinking ability was not affected by Ran Zhi's tears.

Pei Bi quickly understood Ran Zhi's intentions.Ran Ming's contributions are so great that it makes Ran Zhi restless.If Ran Ming is allowed to continue to develop, it may be possible to support Ran Zhi's position.As a subject of the Eastern Palace, Pei Bi is actually very optimistic about Ran Zhi.Of course he would not support a Ran Ming who had nothing to do with him.

Pei Bi began to think about the strategy against Ran Ming in his head.

But the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his heart became heavier and heavier.From the Battle of Liantai, Ran Ming tried his best to turn the tide, and then to light soldiers entering Qingzhou, reversing the decadent situation of Wei State.Ping Luozhou, seize Tongguan, and resist the enemy Huanwen. Now not only saves his father alone for thousands of miles, but also leads his troops to destroy Yan State.

Not to mention that Ran Zhi was worried about his status, anyone else was also worried about Ran Ming.This Ran Ming is too evil, it seems that there is no way to put him to death.What's more, he held the military power in his hand, and almost half of the soldiers and horses in Wei State obeyed Ran Ming's orders.Once actions were taken against Ran Ming, the newly stabilized Wei State might break out into another civil war.

Every time I see people losing their homes and being displaced because of the war.Pei Bi hated war very much.However, what makes him helpless is that if Ran Zhi and Ran Ming start a confrontation, unless Ran Ming stands still and waits to die, the war will definitely break out.If nothing is done, Ran Zhi will lose his current position.And he has already been branded as Ran Zhi's faction. If Ran Ming wins the battle for succession, the Pei family, including him, will definitely be suppressed by Ran Ming because of the issue of standing in the team.

Even in order to protect his own interests, future and status, Pei Bi had no choice but to stand up.At this moment, Pei Bi stood up and said, "I have a plan to solve this problem."

Hearing Pei Bi's words, the entire Yin'an Hall immediately became silent.Including Ran Zhi, the eyes of all the subjects of the East Palace fell on Pei Bi.

"Oh!" Hearing this voice, Ran Zhi choked up and said, "Pei Canjun, please tell me!"

"Three people become tigers!" Pei Bi said, "I'm not afraid that King Jiaodong has made great achievements in battle. The greater his achievements, the greater the effect of His Highness the Crown Prince's strategy."

Ran Zhi's subordinates all showed joyful expressions.Most of Ran Zhi's servants in the East Palace were from the noble family, and they called themselves Qingliu and celebrities.These people point fingers at the government and ask them to do things, they will definitely accomplish nothing, but they are definitely experts in making bad ideas and creating turmoil, and they are more proficient in each other!
Soon, rumors about Ran Ming began to appear in Yecheng.

This rumor is harmless.According to rumors, Ran Ming destroyed the Yan Kingdom, and Wei Jun captured the Kezuhun clan, the queen of the former king Murong Jun of the Yan Kingdom. This Kezuhun clan is only 35 or six years old. She has fair skin, beautiful eyebrows, and bright eyes. , tall and graceful, with a figure like a girl in her twenties or eighties.

This is a stunning beauty of the highest quality.Wang Ranming of Jiaodong, who was originally an excellent mature woman, couldn't take her eyes away when she saw Kezuhun's family.

Although according to age, Kezuhun's family is more than twice as old as Ran Ming, and even older than his mother, Queen Dong, but Ran Ming fell in love at first sight.This queen of the Kezuhun family is not a chaste and strong woman, seeing that Ran Ming is interested in her, she took the initiative to throw herself into her arms.After coming and going, Ran Ming became the stepfather of King Yan Murong Ye.

This violent news made the people of Yecheng, who were very scarce in entertainment activities, talk about it with great interest.

Almost in the shortest period of time, both the common people and the gentry in Yecheng knew that Ran Ming had slept in Kezuhun's bed.This kind of colorful gossip news is very eye-catching even in later generations, let alone now.

When Ran Min heard the rumor, he ignored it and just laughed it off.Anyway, a subjugated empress dowager, since Ran Ming likes it, just give it to him.

However, as the rumors spread more and more widely, another piece of news made Ran Min in Chengyang County feel unnatural.

The second rumor is about Ran Ming. It is said that Ran Ming accepted the surrender of Emperor Murong Ye of Yan Kingdom in Lulong, and took over the (false) jade seal, crown and dragon robe of Yan Kingdom with his own hands.

Ran Ming actually tried on the crown in full view of the public.

This is not slander, but the truth.

Ran Ming is a person of later generations, and he doesn't have much respect for imperial power.When he took the crown, he was very curious.Seeing the whole body of the crown made of gold, and the hanging curtains made of various precious gemstones, especially in the middle, there is actually a ruby ​​the size of an egg inlaid.

Ran Ming was also secretly amazed, knowing that the density of gold is very high, plus these precious stones, the weight of this crown must be quite heavy, so he took off his helmet subconsciously and put it on his head to try it out.

In fact, Ran Ming did it unintentionally, just like Ruan Xiaoqi wore a dragon robe in Water Margin. In fact, he didn't want to be the emperor, but just wore it for fun, but it became evidence that he wanted to rebel.

The news about Ran Ming's rebellion quickly spread throughout Yecheng.

The people naturally don't believe it. If King Jiaodong wanted to rebel, how could he lead his troops to resist the Yan army's aggression and protect them at all costs?
To say that Ran Ming is a great hero.They believed that if it was said that Ran Ming had rebelled against him, he must have received a strong backlash from the people.

It can be said that at this time, Pei Bi's plan of "three people become a tiger" almost failed.

It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, someone in the know will soon come up with "evidence".The person who presented the evidence was Liu Ke, Ran Ming's former disciple.

Liu Ke took out the brainwashing training that Ran Ming used to train the army, and pointed out that the Huxiao Camp, Beiwei Army, Modao Army and other armies that Ran Ming successively formed. But to be loyal to Ran Ming.
