Chapter 129

Zhang Laoer's idea is very simple, since it is slow to go by land, he should go by water.

They drove for half the night, and when the sky was bright, they bought a small boat from a fisherman in the village nearby. They only lied that they had offended the bully in the village, and went to join relatives in a distant place, asking the old man to help keep it secret, and then they rowed all the way. Get on the boat and go in the direction of Xiangzhou.

In spring, the water waves in the south of the Yangtze River are not smooth, so although it is upstream, it is not very strenuous.Yuan Ke sat in the cabin, watching Jiankang City gradually disappear from his field of vision, with mixed feelings in his heart.

If it is said that his previous life remained unchanged like a green hill, then from now on, his future life will be like a river drifting under his feet, and he has no idea where it will flow.

He was dazed for a while, then turned his head to look at Zhang Lao Er, only to see that his two arms were steadily paddling the oars, trying to stabilize the bumpy boat.

Yuan Ke's bored heart was suddenly moved, and he couldn't help showing a smile, and said to himself: "I never thought that people who meet by chance can have a day of mutual dependence."

"Brother Zhang," he called out, "you've been paddling for a long time, replace me!"

"I still don't want it!" Zhang Er Er turned his neck and shook his head, "Your Majesty has a delicate body, how can he do this kind of rough work."

"Brother Zhang is scolding me!" Yuan Ke laughed.He stood up, grabbed the oar without any explanation, and started to row vigorously.

Zhang Laoer and his wife looked at the energetic Yuan Ke silently, as if they were looking at an alien.After a long time, Zhang Lao Er suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, and I don't know if I should say it or not."

"We are brothers who have experienced life and death. Is there anything we can't say?" Yuan Ke gasped, "But it doesn't matter!"

Zhang Lao Er scratched his head in embarrassment, and said honestly: "Although I, Zhang Lao Er, is a pariah, I live at the feet of the emperor after all, and I have seen all kinds of noble people. But people like you, my lord, I am really the first!" See you next time!"

"Oh?" Yuan Ke was aroused by his words, and asked, "What kind of person am I?"

"How should I put it..." Zhang Laoer thought hard for a while, and answered honestly, "I can't speak, but I think that if the king can become the emperor, it will be a blessing for the people of the world."

"Emperor..." Yuan Ke secretly made up his mind, "Xiao Gang, even if I don't argue with you, for the sake of the people of the world, I can't let this throne fall into your hands!"

When Yuan Ke arrived in Xiangzhou, he saw his father Xiao Yi was already waiting at the gate of the palace.

It turned out that Xiao Yi's eyeliner in the capital had already brought him the news of the fire in the post.In grief, Xiao Yi immediately prepared to go to Jiankang, but was stopped by Xu Zhaopei.

"My lord, I have a hunch," Xu Zhaopei said firmly, "Ke'er must still be alive!"

"The whole capital has seen such a big fire, so can it be fake?" Xiao Yi said with tears streaming down his face.

Xu Zhaopei took him into his arms, and replied gently but forcefully: "As the saying goes, mother and child are connected! Think about it, my lord, Ke'er has been smart since he was a child, how could he leave us so easily?"

Recalling Yuan Ke's incredible actions when he was a child, Xiao Yi believed for the first time that there are miracles in the world, and turned back to Xiangzhou, waiting for Yuan Ke's return.

Yuan Ke, who had escaped the catastrophe, was naturally very excited when he saw his father and mother. The family of three hugged each other and cried, and even Xiao Yi's necrotic eye shed tears.

When he learned that the fire was not a disaster from heaven, but was deliberately caused by someone, Xiao Yi was furious, and he was about to issue an order to attack Xiao Gang on the spot.In fury, Yuan Ke also prepared to let the monks return to vulgarity immediately, and march eastward together with the army under his command, to seek justice from Xiao Gang.

But just as they were about to go out, Wang Wei jumped out from nowhere, fell to his knees with a plop, and blocked them in front of them.

"You two kings, don't be reckless at this time, don't be reckless!" Wang Wei shouted.

"Get out of the way!" Xiao Yi became angry when he saw him, "You told Ke'er that Xiao Gang didn't dare to kill him, but he almost died in Jiankang! Now, you still Have the face to see me!"

Wang Wei's face was flushed red, he pulled out the sword at his waist with a clang, put it across his neck, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty may not listen to me, but I have to say something! If Your Majesty does this When we use troops against Jiankang, in less than a month, catastrophe will come, and the whole family will be killed! Under the nest, there will be no eggs, why don't I, Wang Wei, kill myself in front of the king today, so that I can win the name of a loyal minister!"

It has to be said that his move really stunned Xiao Yi.

Although Yuan Ke was almost burned to death, he felt in his heart that since Xiao Gang is a pervert, no smart person can predict his behavior, so Wang Wei cannot be blamed for this.He stepped forward to help Wang Wei up, pulled him into the study, and then asked: "Now, Mr. Wang, can you tell me the reason for doing this?"

"Your Majesty, the position of supremacy is within your grasp. If you are in a hurry, it will be too late to regret!" Wang Wei said firmly, "The current emperor has just ascended the throne not long ago, and the hearts of the people are not convinced. People such as Linhe King, Hedong King, and Yueyang King He didn't say anything, but he was looking forward to replacing him. The emperor's attack on the king was a bad move. The king didn't have to do anything, just spread the news, saying that the emperor had burned King Pingnan to death. Naturally, someone will take back the notice for the king!"

"You mean... let me block the news and fake death?" Yuan Ke asked.

"That's right, just wait and see what happens, and wait until they have a melee before making a move, and we will surely win!" Wang Wei said confidently.

"Okay, I'll just believe you once." Yuan Ke said with a smile, "There is no turning back when you open the bow. Whether you are a Marquis or a prime minister or there is no bones left, it depends on the master's resourcefulness."

Wang Wei also laughed and said: "I said before, if you can't help the king to achieve the emperor's career, you are willing to kill him!"

His self-confidence is justified, because on the second day after Yuan Ke arrived in Xiangzhou, Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe, suddenly launched a rebellion in Jiankang City. The king was killed by a treacherous minister around the emperor, and he wanted to seek justice for King Pingnan.

Compared with the conspirator Xiao Zhengde, the ambitious and talented Xiao Gang is not enough.That night, the imperial palace was breached, and Xiao Gang and his favorite concubine were smothered to death under the same quilt.

Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the way of heaven is reincarnation.If you don't believe me, look up, God will spare you.

Naturally, the other princes and kings were unwilling to sit back and watch Xiao Zhengde win the throne so easily, and raised their troops to fight against him one after another. All of a sudden, the land in the south of the Yangtze River was full of wars!
