Chapter 229 Nine Dead Lives

Zong Dao: "Actually, I don't really know why the name of the country was changed to Song. I only know that the next dynasty will be the Song Dynasty. Anyway, Bu Xiangyang already revealed this matter when he spoke with me, and I have no way to hide it. "

"Song...Song Dynasty, the name is quite good. Then again, since the surname Zhao won the world, then it should be our Zhao Clan, right? It can't be that frail scholar Zhao Pu..." Zhao Kuangyin suddenly turned pale. Change, Yandao's business is handed over to Zhao Pu, and all the money is handed over to him.If Zhao Pu enriches his own pocket, saves enough money to recruit troops, and then invades Jinling in one fell swoop, he may not be able to become emperor.

Could it be that it was Zhao Pu that Zong Xin wanted to assist for so long?This shameless monk always thought that he wanted to help him.

"Your eyes are very angry..." Zong Dao said, "You don't really think that Zhao Pu can be the emperor, do you? He doesn't have the guts or the ability."

"I'm relieved when you say that." Zhao Kuangyin also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it's not Zhao Pu.

Zong Dao: "In the end, the country still has to be handed over to someone surnamed Zhao. Look at who among you Zhao Clan is qualified to ascend the throne and become emperor."

"Nonsense, of course it's me." Zhao Kuangyin said: "Zong Xin, let me tell you, don't give me any wrong ideas. I will accompany you to death all day long. Although you like it, I don't have this hobby. I have sacrificed my life countless times to accompany you It's just to let you assist me to ascend the throne and become emperor, if you don't care about me, believe it or not, I'll die right now for you to see."

Zhao Kuangyin is not a fool, who would want to stay with Zong Xin with his character?Li Yu is very smart. After returning home, he immediately distanced himself from Zong Xin and never fooled around with him.Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue are Zongxin's wives, they have nothing to do, and Tianya is an apprentice, they can only run around the world with their master.

Zhao Kuangyin really didn't like to play dead, but he followed Zong Xin wherever he went and never thought of leaving.The reason is very simple, because he feels that Zong Xin can help him ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Even if he is not the emperor in the end, he will be a prince or general in the future, and his power will definitely be stronger than the current Zhao Clan.

In fact, Zhao Kuangyin's biggest dream is to be proud among the Zhao family, because he received too many stares when he was a child, and these people are all his close relatives, and he doesn't have any hatred.So Zhao Kuangyin just wanted to appear strong in front of them, so that these people would look up to him, instead of the trash that everyone has always said.

Zong Xin nodded and said: "Anyway, the poor monk can only calculate part of it. Since the surname Zhao won the world, the poor monk will naturally support his best friend to become the emperor. But don't worry, the poor monk has no interest in the throne. If you listen to the emperor's words... just promise me a few things when the time comes."

"As long as I become the emperor, let alone a few pieces, hundreds, even thousands of pieces will agree to you. You can spend the money in my country's treasury as you like, and see how much you can spend. You can use the concubines in my harem as you like, except for the queen. In addition to the fact that the Empress of the West Palace and the East Palace cannot be used, you can come to the maids in the palace at will, and if you like it, pull it on the bed."

"Brother Zhao, I am a monk."

"Stop doing this with me. You already have two wives, and I don't have one. You tell me that you are a monk?" Zhao Kuangyin said depressedly, "But speaking of this matter, I am not young anymore, yes Shouldn’t I marry a wife and take care of me?”

"Remember we discussed this matter before, right?" Zhao Kuangyin said: "If the poor monk doesn't nod, you must not marry, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences. As long as you violate this agreement, I will go to your brother. Anyway, I guess he I’m going crazy thinking about becoming an emperor.”

"Don't..." Zhao Kuangyin said: "I admit it, as long as you don't nod, I'll be a bachelor for the rest of my life."

"That's right. If I support you as the emperor, you must have someone who has the life of a queen. She must have the life of a queen to make you two happy. If you want to marry a wife indiscriminately, there will be no emperor." You will die because of it. By the way, not having a wife is actually a good thing. If you go out to pick flowers and visit a brothel, who can control you? It’s not like a poor monk who goes to the street to see that both of them have people. Pull my ears from behind."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded immediately: "Master, there is some truth in what he said, as long as I don't marry, it's fine, right, and I can do other things as I please."

"Yes, that's what the poor monk means. As long as you don't formally marry, you can do other things as you like. I don't want you to be a monk or a eunuch. I don't care if you go to the brothel three times a day." Zong Xin suddenly said: "No, I will Don't worry... your body walks around three times a day, it probably won't take half a year for your body to collapse, just go once a day."

"Come on, it's okay for me to go eight times a day, believe it or not?"

"Do not believe."

"Actually, I don't believe it either."

The two returned to the inn, and everything was back to normal.Others didn't write down this poem, and their attention was not on this kind of place.Zhao Kuangyin noticed the words Qin Huang Han Wu, Tang Zong Song Zu because he wanted to be emperor.

We set off early the next morning and arrived at Tongguan two days later. From a distance, we saw Guo Wei's army stationed outside Tongguan. They not only guarded the city gate but also built a fortress in front of the city. Guo Wei had nothing serious to do, so he moved a chair and sat in front of Tongguan to enjoy the meal. Ming, watching the hired farm workers work.

Guo Wei wiped his beard and said: "This old man likes to watch people work, sweat profusely, and have a cup of rough tea, how can it feel so good?"

"Father, are you still in the mood to drink tea? It seems that Liu Chengyou has murderous intentions. If he doesn't think of a way, Liu Chengyou may jump the wall in a hurry, and his family members in Kaifeng will be in danger."

Chai Rong has always been by Guo Wei's side. In the past few days, Liu Chengyou has ordered Guo Wei to return to Bianliang, Kaifeng to discuss important matters. Guo Wei has been staying outside Tongguan on the grounds that Tongguan has not been broken and he has no face to see His Majesty.Everyone knows Liu Chengyou's intentions. As long as Guo Wei enters Kaifeng, he will definitely be close to death, because Liu Chengyou wants to get the Chidi Zhenyuan in Guo Wei's body. Besides, Guo Wei's existence is originally a threat to Liu Chengyou. Difficulty falling asleep.

Today, there are many people who can win Liu Chengyou's country, but the easiest person is Guo Wei.When Li Shouzhen confronted Guo Wei at the beginning, and later with Khitan's power, Liu Chengyou certainly didn't dare to attack Guo Wei.But now that Li Shouzhen has been eliminated, it is impossible for the Khitan to attack aggressively in a short period of time, and Guo Wei is of little use to Liu Chengyou.

In fact, Liu Chengyou knew very well in his heart that Guo Wei would not only defend the country for himself, but would even die for himself.This point Guo Wei had already proved his loyalty when Li Shouzhen invaded the palace.Speaking from his heart, Liu Chengyou actually does not want to be an enemy of Guo Wei, and even hopes to befriend Guo Wei.

But the plan could not keep up with the changes. Although Guo Wei's military power has been reduced, most soldiers will still listen to Guo Wei's orders.Although he has no military power in his hands now, Guo Wei's official position is still Prime Minister You, and as long as he gives an order, many people will follow Guo Wei even if he wants to rebel.

As the emperor, Liu Chengyou was most afraid of someone with great achievements, and it was Guo Wei who defeated the Khitan army. Liu Chengyou was almost useless and kept hiding in Chang'an for protection.Master Zong Xin thought of the plan, but it was carried out by Guo Wei. Guo Wei's reputation had already surpassed Liu Chengyou, a useless emperor.

The most important point is that Liu Chengyou knows that his life expectancy is approaching.He must find a piece of the Red Emperor's true energy to renew his life. The blessing of the emperor is indeed not something ordinary people can bear. If his destiny is not strong enough, he will work himself to death like the late emperor.For his own longevity and Liu's safety, Liu Chengyou had no choice but to find a way to kill Guo Wei.

Guo Wei also knew about this, so he didn't want to go to Kaifeng, and he didn't even dare to go to Kaifeng.Guo Wei knew very well in his heart that as long as he went to Kaifeng by himself, he was afraid that there would be a lot of bad luck, and he would almost die.The only way to survive is to stand in a stalemate with Liu Chengyou. Anyway, I will never provoke Liu Chengyou before his life is exhausted.

I thought so in my heart, but in fact Guo Wei had dispelled this idea. He knew that if he didn't go back to Kaifeng, Liu Chengyou might really threaten him with the lives of his family members. one.Guo Wei still didn't want to be forced to this level by Liu Chengyou before resisting.

If he went to Kaifeng by himself, Liu Chengyou would naturally not attack his family.My own life... is not so easy to be killed.Maybe we should go to Kaifeng once, otherwise many things will be dragged out of hand.

"Don't worry." Guo Wei said: "You don't know at all, Weifu's current skills will never lose to Lei Hong, Zhao Jing and others, they didn't dare to rebel, as long as they rebel, Weifu will immediately kill them. "

"Father, I have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

"Say."

Chai Rong said: "Since Liu Chengyou has murderous intentions, we can't sit and wait for death, it's better..."

"Bastard...can you talk about things like rebellion here? You should talk about it in a place where no one is around." Guo Wei said angrily, "But Liu Chengyou only had this intention, and he didn't do anything to his father. Since he wasn't unfaithful, As a father, one cannot be unrighteous. What's more, the king allows his ministers to die, and the ministers must die. This is loyalty. If you feel that your majesty wants to kill you, and immediately rebel, then you are a traitor."

"Father, what you said... I didn't understand." Chai Rong knew that his father was loyal and patriotic, but now Liu Chengyou felt inferior, and was afraid that Guo Wei's reputation would far exceed his own, and for the sake of the true essence of the Red Emperor in Guo Wei's body, he would definitely think about it. The way to kill Guo Wei.If you don't rebel at this time, wouldn't you be at the mercy of others?
Guo Wei said: "Your Majesty wants to kill me, I know this. But as long as he doesn't do anything for a day, my father is still his subject, and I will never rebel. Even if Liu Chengyou really sends assassins, my father will not Will rebel, because there are not many assassins in the world who can kill me."

"But it's not the assassin's problem now. Le'an, Ning'an, and Tong'er are all in Kaifeng. If Liu Chengyou jumps over the wall in a hurry, he will inevitably threaten his adoptive father with their lives. What will we do then?" Chai Rong worried about the three siblings. If the stalemate continues, the two will inevitably die.Although the foster mother was protecting them in the Guo Mansion, the martial arts of the foster mother was not as strong as that of the foster father.
