After Li Muge was arrested, the government and the public were shocked and worried.

What is surprising is that King Xi has favored and trusted Li Muge for many years, and General Li has also devoted himself to his duties for many years. Today, he has fallen into such a situation. With his prestige and reputation, even though he lost consecutively, he also had occasional small victories.

But now he is trapped in prison, and he also heard that the state of Jin is going to appoint a new crown prince. The only two aces of the state of Xi are now in jeopardy. It can be said that the battle situation is worrying.

However, Xi Wang Li Shengtong obviously did not have such concern for the country and the people. He was still drunk and lying in the flowers all day long, and he could see his beloved Prime Minister Luo every day. But it is this kind of strength of "what you can't ask for" that makes it even more interesting.What's more, Prime Minister Luo has already promised him that as long as he listens to him and helps him achieve his wish to attack Li Muge, he will one day "get his wish".

On the other hand, Luo Qiuli's side is different.The whole day is full of ice and fire, dealing with Li Shengtong during the day is like a year, and helping Li Muge prepare the "grand plan to win the throne" at night is a race against the clock.

So during this period of time, he has suffered a lot from mental to physical.

"Luo Luo, don't you look so good? Are you exhausted by that King Xi?" Shui Furong, moon gauze, light cage and black hair, leaning on an Eight Immortals chair softly, her eyes sparkling. She is charming and charming.

Sapphire at the side blushed when she saw it, but it was also so red that it was dignified and dignified, with the appearance of a poor scholar who had seen the world.

When Luo Qiuli heard this, he immediately became furious: "I am very energetic, why don't you come over and try?" As soon as he said this, he immediately regretted it.When he wanted to take it back, Shui Furong had already floated into his arms without a sound, and Lilac's tender tongue lightly brushed his earlobe and said coquettishly, "Can't you wait for this concubine to be humiliated in public?"

When these words were spoken, although the speaker was not at all ashamed, most of the listeners blushed, especially Luo Qiuli's face was as red as a shrimp, but his face was probably made of anger.

At this time, Qingyu lowered her face even lower.Nangong Jing has been wearing a bamboo hat, so no one knows his expression at this moment.And Mo Ruyin, who is also a woman, whistled and put on a grandiose expression as if she was watching the show.

At this time, Suan Zibu stroked his beard and smoothed things out with a smile, "I haven't seen you in several months. I didn't expect Little Furong to be more enthusiastic and charming than before?"

Shui Furong smiled coquettishly: "Mr. Xie Bu praised, but our Master Luo, no! He should be called Prime Minister Luo, and he doesn't seem to appreciate it?" After finishing speaking, she moved her body closer to Luo Qiuli.

Luo Qiuli was really tired these days, and he didn't have the mind to "play around" with Shui Furong anymore, so he raised his wrist lightly, and easily threw Shui Furong out, and then said sternly: "Stop messing around, let's get down to business."

He neither yelled nor yelled, but he just said this sentence with a deadpan expression, neither high nor low, and several people in the hall immediately returned to their respective positions in silence, and even Qingyu, who had been bowing her head, raised her head.

The "think tanks" that Li Muge worked hard for many years gathered in this secret room under the general's mansion today, something big is bound to happen.

Qingyu who is a full-time assassin, Shui Furong who is in charge of dealing with the outside world and collecting information, operator Bu who is good at observing celestial phenomena and calculating the direction of the terrain, Nangong Jing, a skilled doctor known as "Yan Wang's sorrow", and Qianjilou who was exiled by the first institution in the world. Mo Ruyin, the eldest daughter who left the house, and others, all gathered in this chamber to sit side by side at this time, just waiting for Luo Qiuli, who was at the top, to make the final arrangement.

Luo Qiuli glanced down the hall, and finally landed on Shui Furong: "Shui Furong, you should return to the Jin Kingdom as soon as possible, and provoke King Jin to turn against his youngest son Jin, so as to stop him from wanting to abolish Wang Ziyu. Mighty Marquis was transferred back to the capital to slow down the progress of the war."

Shui Furong bowed her head to accept the order, there was no frivolity in her expression.

Afterwards, Luo Qiuli looked at Nangong Jing again, and ordered, "Nangong Jing, is the medicine ready to make King Chu go crazy and self-mutilate?"

Nangong Jing still covered her face with a bamboo hat, but today she let out her blonde hair.Hearing this, he took out a medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to Luo Qiuli, saying: "Three times a day, the attack will occur at noon three days later. Remember, don't eat too much or eat less, otherwise the medicine will have no effect and you will get sick." The time will be wrong."

Luo Qiuli put away the porcelain vase, and said with a smile, "Remember, I will trouble you to run more into the Jin army. I hope that the time when they catch the plague will coincide with the Lord's return."

Nangong Jing nodded, the things he promised were always sure.

"Qingyu, as long as it is a city captured by the Jin Kingdom, you will arrange your people well, and use your tricks of pretending to be gods and ghosts, and Nangong Jing will assist you when the time comes."

Hearing this, Qingyu clasped her fists in both hands, and made a gesture of accepting orders in a well-mannered manner.

"Shan Zibu, I want to predict the weather in the days after the war, as well as the detailed situation of the surrounding terrain and environment."

"Mo Ruyin, the organs along the way and the weapons for combat will be handed over to you. You can discuss the terrain with Suan Zibu."

After the two of them heard this, they also took orders in turn.

After that, Luo Qiuli made corresponding arrangements for everyone else.In the end, he told Qingyu to take care of Gu Yanxi after he arranged the troops.Qingyu gave him a reassuring look.

Although he knew Qingyu's ability very well in his heart, but when he thought of Gu Yanxi's calm appearance, he felt a little uneasy.But they really didn't have any more manpower and energy to distribute to that person.

three days later

The Jin army's vigor remained unabated, and they had captured more than ten counties and counties of Chu State in a row. They were about to attack the capital of Shengle, but the court of Chu State was in chaos.

Xi Wang Li Shengtong did not know why he went crazy, even the concubines of the former king and his own daughter were not spared, committing adultery in the harem.Above the court, all the officials who stood up to speak out for Li Muge were decapitated, and some were dismembered alive in public, which was so brutal that it was inhumane.

And the Prime Minister Luo Qiuli accompanied him all day long, trying to make ends meet, just to stabilize the situation, but his life was hanging by a thread several times, it was really dangerous.

The country is about to fall, the monarch is crazy and the subjects are scattered, and the remaining courtiers in the palace are all beating their chests and weeping.On the other hand, Prime Minister Luo Qiuli was surprisingly calm. After counting the remaining officials in the hall, he ordered his subordinates to summon the commander of the Imperial Guard: Zhao Shihai.

After thinking for a while, he said loudly: "The Jin army has reached the gate of the capital, but the leader of my country in Daxi is insane and insane. The word 'patriotism' is waiting to be slaughtered."

Hearing this, an old minister immediately echoed with tears in his eyes: "Prime Minister Luo is right, King Xi... King Xi has indeed gone mad. If this continues, I am afraid that the foundation of this ancestor will be destroyed." The old minister turned out to be from Prime Minister Song Ping's faction. After he finished speaking, the other "prime ministers" also catered to him.

"Then what should we do now?" A minister asked hoarsely.

Luo Qiuli glanced at the crowd, as if he had made up his mind, he said ruthlessly: "The country cannot live without a king, we should now establish a new king to regroup, I'm afraid it's not too late."

After these words fell, the hall was suddenly silent. Some people were surprised, some were tangled, some showed such expressions, some were hesitant, and some were terrified.

After all, Confucianism has believed in the idea of ​​"monarch, minister, minister, father, son and son" for hundreds of years. Since these people were born, the "three cardinal principles and five constant principles" have been deeply rooted in their hearts. How can the word "rebellion" be blurted out so easily?Let alone do?

At this time, Zhao Shihai, the commander of the imperial guards, was the first to speak out: "Ministers may not know, but King Xi is actually on the verge of death. Just after noon, His Majesty didn't know why he went crazy, and he started cutting himself with a knife. All the palace guards were splashed with blood on the spot, and gradually no one dared to step forward to stop it. When I arrived, the lord had already collapsed in a pool of blood with limbs incomplete."

He spoke plainly, with the objective and calmness of a soldier, but even such a pale statement can make the listener fully imagine the thrilling and bloody horror at that time.

"Since the Lord has died of madness, and has no heirs under his knees. Moreover, the brothers around him are all far away in the feudal town, and they all adopt an attitude of watching this war from the other side. Therefore, in my opinion, everyone should agree with Prime Minister Luo as soon as possible. Quickly introduce a new ruler." At this time, a young official stood up and called.

As soon as this remark came out, it was like an infection. The officials looked at each other in blank dismay at first, and then gradually turned to nodding in agreement.Luo Qiuli glanced at the official with a smile, and thought: This straw is really pressed at the right time.Children can be taught!

"Then who shall we recommend?"

"Prime Minister Luo has worked so hard in recent days. It is obvious to all. Let's choose Mr. Prime Minister."

"But Mr. Luo is still young, and it's his first time to be the prime minister, so he doesn't have enough prestige?"

"Then you say, who is suitable?"

The officials below were arguing, when Luo Qiuli suddenly said loudly: "My lords, don't be impatient, I always have a suitable candidate in my heart, if you still have objections, it's not too late to continue the discussion. "

Looking at these attentive faces, Luo Qiu said: "I don't know if these people are really forgetful or pretending to be confused. They dare not mention others in front of me, but they don't agree with making me king. They must put all their energy in playing power games." In terms of business, the country has long been strong.

"I feel that Li Muge, the general of Zhen Guo, is very suitable to be the new king."

After his words fell, there was no sound in the hall that was still chattering just now.

At that time, all the ministers carefully observed Luo Qiuli's face, neither objecting nor approving, and they all acted in deep thought.It wasn't until seeing Li Muge walking out of the back hall that the first sound of approval began to sound in the hall, followed by echoes from the officials one after another.

Li Muge stepped onto the dragon chair unhurriedly, every step he took was as steady as Mount Tai, step by step, stepping heavily on the hearts of His Highness' group of "scattered sand" with their own ulterior motives.

With a flick of his robe, he slowly took off the mask that had been worn for many years from his face, revealing those eyes that looked down on the world.

At this moment, the peach blossoms are still there, but they no longer smile at the spring breeze.

After taking off the mask, Li Muge didn't show any expression on his face.Just because his eyes have conveyed all his expressions.

Your Highness, everyone, never thought that General Li would look like this behind the mask.In my impression, he should have a rough appearance, or a handsome outline, with resolute eyes and the roughness of a general.

But at this moment, the person who appeared in front of them was obviously unexpected and unimaginable.

Of course, it wasn't that his beauty was unexpected and unimaginable to them.It was the aura emanating from this person's whole body that made them deny his status as a general in an instant.

That is clearly a king, a born king!

Li Muge lowered his eyes, and looked around casually. Wherever he looked, he felt a sense of suffocation.

"Li is not talented, and today he stands on behalf of the heavens and sits on the seat of the monarch of the Xi Kingdom. Since I am sitting here, I will not gossip." Speaking of this, he suddenly stood up, waved his sleeves, and said Ruo Qianjun issued an order: "All the ministers listen to the order and return to their posts immediately to appease the people and prepare logistics supplies. From now on we will turn defeat into victory."

His tone was neither high nor low, but his voice had an inspiring power.

Hearing the words, all the people changed their previous attitude of mourning soldiers, kneeled down to accept the order, and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the new king on his enthronement, we will do our best to assist and protect our home and country."

Standing beside Li Muge, Luo Qiuli also looked proud. His Royal Highness is indeed a born king.

Afterwards, Luo Qiuli once asked Li Muge, "How is it different from taking the throne by force to stage a 'Chenqiao Mutiny, Adding a Yellow Robe'? Look at those ministers, who is not?" As long as you threaten people, who else will not submit to you? What's more, you have the military power in your hands. If you refuse to obey, you will be punished immediately. Let's see who else dares to disobey? Wouldn't it be more labor-saving and faster? ?”

After hearing this, Li Muge just shook his head and smiled: "Qiu Li, you have always been good at calculating, but a king can calculate but not calculate, just like a king can calculate the merits and demerits of a minister but cannot calculate the gains and losses of a minister. You can calculate the income and expenses of a country, but you cannot calculate the food and drink expenses of a country; you can calculate the assets of the people, but you cannot calculate the living expenses of the people.”

"If you want to be a king, the first thing you need is not the world, but the hearts of the people. If I forcibly usurp the throne, even if I succeed, I am afraid that I will be named as a rebellious minister in this life, and I will not feel at ease when I sit on the throne. The common people Will recognize me, and the vassal kings of all walks of life will not recognize me, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty will not recognize me. Although they don’t say it on the surface, it will become a hidden danger over time. I never leave any trouble in my work. I want to establish a A country that is convinced by me must be a legitimate king, at least in the eyes of the world, so that the country of Xi can completely belong to me. Only the country of Xi of the Li family can become the Southern Qin of the Huangfu family."

Later, Gu Yanxi also asked him this question. He didn't tell him as much as he did to Luo Qiuli, but just answered him with what he said: "The contract on the surface doesn't mean anything, the one who can really reach the contract It's the human heart."

And just this sentence, he thinks he already understands.
