Liu Shangzhi took Wang Congben to the small study, the two chatted briefly, and only then did they know that both of them were from Laixian County, Hedong, and it was even more coincidental that the enlightenment teacher before the two was ten years old, it turned out to be the same person, but Wang Congben was five or six years older than Liu Shangzhi, and after Wang Congben left at the age of ten, after a year, Liu Shangzhi was worshiped in the teacher's door, so the two did not know each other.

The two are fellow villagers, and they worship the same enlightenment teacher, so that from strange to familiar, the relationship is instantly closer.

Sure enough, after knowing this, the cold arrogance on Liu Shangzhi's face suddenly turned into enthusiasm, and he treated Wang Congben with the courtesy of a junior brother.

Wang Congben is a high-ranking official in the Great Jin Dynasty, which is of course very remarkable, but this is the Liao Kingdom, with a new environment, Wang Congben is nothing, everything has to start from scratch, and Liu Shangzhi has always been arrogant and cold, most people will not like such a character, in fact, Liu Shangzhi is in the mansion of King Qi, and has been excluded and slandered by many people, but precisely because of this, Tumon feels that Liu Shangzhi is honest and self-loving, does not engage in small circles, and he does have great talents, so he was finally cited by Tumon as a confidant, became his number one staff.

Tumeng came to the study, and saw Liu Shangzhi and Wang Congben talking happily, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised, Liu Shangzhi He knows this person very well, he is arrogant and arrogant, it is difficult to get along with people, there are hundreds of guests in the entire Qi Palace, and there are very few people who can talk to him.

"Lord Wang."

Liu Shangzhi and Wang Congben stood up and bowed.

Tumeng looked at Wang Congben and asked directly: "You are Wang Congben?" ”

Hu Ren has a cheerful personality, goes straight to the point, and does not have so many false courtesies.

Wang Congben nodded: "It's Wang Congben below." ”

"Sir, please be seated."

Tumon waved his hand and invited Wang Congben to sit down and speak, and then sat down casually opposite.

"Mr. Wang, what is the so-called matter of this trip to my Liao country?"

Tumon gets straight to the point and gets straight to the point.

Wang Congben sighed: "Desperate, I have come to seek refuge with His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and I also ask His Royal Highness to take him in, so that he can do some modest efforts." ”

Tumon smiled: "Why is the gentleman sighing? ”

Wang Congben said silently: "After eating Jinlu for a long time, the guilt in my heart has not been completely eliminated. ”

Tu Meng said: "Sir's trip to Liao is thought to be caused by the coup d'état of Zhao He, the winged king of the Jin Kingdom. ”

At this time, Liu Shangzhi said loudly on the side: "As far as I know, after the failure of the coup d'état of Yiwang Zhao He, the emperor of the Jin State Zhao Xun did not issue a document to hunt down Mr. Wang, from this point of view, Mr. Wang was once the confidant of the Emperor of the Jin State, he still read some old feelings, or he still likes Mr. Wang's talent, and does not want to kill Mr. Wang, if he returns to Fengjing, I am afraid that he can still be reused, this point, Mr. Wang should see this, in this case, why did Mr. Wang still come to our Liao State?" ”

Wang Congben was silent, just like he just said, he has eaten Jinlu for a long time, and now he has taken refuge in Liao, the biggest enemy of the Han people, how can he not feel guilty in his heart, now is the last step, once some words are said, there will never be a turning back.

Tumeng glanced at Wang Congben and chuckled: "If Mr. Wang doesn't want to say it, it's okay. ”

Liu Shangzhi frowned slightly, and whispered beside him: "From this brother, you have come this far, what else do you have to hesitate?" ”

Wang Congben sighed again and said slowly: "Zhao He has been running Hedong for many years, and has a close relationship with many local wealthy families, if he inherits the position, relies on Hedong as the foundation, and has the support of Li Zhong and Anbei elites internally, maybe there is still a fight, even if he can't take the initiative, at least he can continue the established strategy of Emperor Xingzong, balance and suppress the union of the gate valve family, but ..... Now that Zhao Xun is the emperor, he is not the opponent of the gate valve family at all. ”

Liu Shangzhi was puzzled: "The Emperor of the Jin Kingdom also has Li Zhong and Li Xun, one of these two has a huge influence in Anbei, and the other has many old departments in the Western Regions of Longyou, with the help of two major military groups, and their overall strength is probably better than Zhao He." ”

Wang Congben sneered: "Anbei and Longyou are a little far away for Fengjing, once the Central Plains change, time is too late. ”

Liu Shangzhi nodded, somewhat understood, Wang Congben's meaning was very simple, Zhao Xun's foundation in the Guannai was too shallow, and sometimes, the far water could not save the near fire.

Tu Meng asked out loud at this time: "This king doesn't understand a little, Zhao He launched a coup d'état and controlled almost all the military power inside and outside Fengjing, how did he do it?" ”

"Ideas."

"What do you mean?"

Something Thumon didn't understand.

Wang Congben said lightly: "Whether it is Zhao He or Zhao Xun, they all have their own ideas, the concept of governing the country, the three armies of the forbidden army have already been secretly controlled by many gate valve families, since Zhao He can get the support of the three armies of the forbidden army, this can only show a truth, Zhao He's concept of governing the country is more in line with the interests of those gate valve families, they are willing to push Zhao He to the throne, on the contrary, Zhao Xun's concept is not in line with the interests of the gate valve family, and now Zhao Xun has succeeded to the throne, which can only lead to one result, that is, the gate valve family will be completely united, together with the outside world. ”

Listening to Wang Congben's words, Tumeng and Liu Shangzhi looked at him with a different gaze.

Tumun said: "In this way, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Jin Kingdom will undergo great changes. ”

Wang Congben looked at Tumeng and said lightly: "Isn't this exactly what the Liao Kingdom wants to see?" ”

Tumun nodded, this does not need to be concealed, the Hu people's covetousness for the Central Plains has always existed, and as the national strength becomes stronger and stronger, this desire will become stronger and stronger.

"I've said a lot, and I'm afraid my husband is also a little thirsty, please drink tea."

Wang Congben didn't look at the teacup next to him, it was just an ordinary cup of tea, and he didn't drink it in a sip.

For Wang Congben's indifference, Tumeng smiled, disagreed, and said slowly: "Mr. Dacai, it's a pity here in this king, this king can recommend Mr. to Ningjing, my Liao Emperor is now thirsty for talent, with Mr.'s talent, he will definitely be able to be reused." ”

Wang Congben shook his head and sighed: "Although the emperor of Liao is a generation of heroes, it is a pity that ..... He will never be able to leave this land. ”

Hearing Wang Cong's words, Tumeng's whole body shook suddenly, and in one sentence, he said all his wishes, this person is indeed not simple.

"Someone."

"What does Your Highness command?"

A soldier came in a hurry.

Tu Meng pointed to Wang Congben's teacup: "Take out the pot of fine tea that this king treasures, and let Mr. Wang taste it." ”

"Yes."

The soldier retreated.

Tu Meng stood up and laughed at Wang Congben: "Liu Shangzhi is the most trusted person of this king, Mr. Wang must be close to him." ”

The king stood up, bowed his hands, and said nothing.
