Xianyin Fan Huan on the house.

When Fan Huan learned that a crowd of 100,000 men, women, and children had gathered outside the Black Emperor Temple, he couldn't help but sigh, and then was silent for a long time, and then ordered: "Come here, immediately notify those who are good friends with me, and say that I will go to the Black Emperor Temple to pray for the blessing of the country." At the same time, I invite them to pray as well. ”

The doorman guard was stunned for a moment, and then immediately responded: "No." ”

on the carriage.

Wei Pu pondered for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Your Excellency, not long ago, Jun also loudly reprimanded Dr. Zuo Yinshang and others who went to pray outside the Black Emperor Temple for blessings as national thieves, but rebellious ministers and thieves who caused trouble in the country, and they were ashamed to be with them.

Why did Jun take the initiative to pray for blessings and join Zuo Yin and others in the same stream after only half a day? ”

Fan Huan glanced at Wei Pu, saw that he had a puzzled look on his face, shook his head lightly and sighed: "Alas, those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me ask for me, Mr. has been with me for more than ten years, but he still doesn't understand me after all!" ”

"I'm ashamed." Wei Pu lowered his head slightly, but his gaze never left Fan Huan's face.

At this time, Fan Huan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I reprimanded Zuo Yin and others loudly before, because the actions of Zuo Yin and others were indeed disobedient actions to disrupt the country. However, now, 100,000 people have gathered outside the Black Emperor Temple, and as the fire continues to spread, more people are constantly rushing to the Black Emperor Temple.

At this moment, the general trend has shifted to Zuo Yin's side, and the changes supported by the king are no longer sustainable. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Huan sighed: "If this battle is a battle between my Chu State and other countries, it is like when the previous countries attacked Chu, although the general trend has not been on my Chu State's side, although my Fan Huan is not good, I am also willing to go to the soup for the Chu State and die for it."

However, the battle in front of me is completely my Chu internal strife, and the slightest carelessness will cause a catastrophe that will cause my Chu country to fall apart. ”

Saying that, Fan Huan saw that Wei Pu had doubts on his face, so he shook his head and sighed: "Sir, why is it too late to see what is going on, although Zuo Yin has the absolute upper hand at the moment, but Zuo Yin and they still have a fatal weakness, that is, Zuo Yin They have no army in their hands, and in addition to Yingdu, there are 100,000 elite Chu troops, and these armies are still in the hands of the Pillar Kingdom and the Great King." ”

When Wei Pu heard this, he was even more puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, since the army is still in the control of the king, this means that the general trend is still in the control of the king, why should you fall to Zuo Yin at this time and persecute the king."

What if..."

Although Wei Pu didn't say the rest of the words, Fan Huan knew what Wei Pu wanted to say.

"Alas!" Fan Huan sighed: "It's okay for Sir to think like this, what I'm most worried about is that the king also thinks so and intends to do so, so I'm going to go to the Black Emperor Temple to pray for blessings to stop the king from taking this last step."

Perhaps... The king was able to suppress this turmoil after sending out his army, but what about after suppressing it? ”

"After the crackdown?" Wei Pu froze when he heard this, and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say the words when he reached his mouth.

Fan Huan saw that Wei Pu couldn't speak, so he responded: "Once the king sends an army to suppress it, then the direct consequence is that the king's majesty is swept away, so that the ministers do not believe it, the nobles do not attach it, and the people are not convinced." And the king's benevolent and righteous king will also turn into a brutal and bloodthirsty king in an instant, so that when the feudal kings everywhere hear this, they will definitely raise troops to oppose it.

You know, the nobles of my Chu country, that's..."

At this time, Fan Huan sneered, then looked ugly, and said in a low tone: "At that time, my Chu State will definitely face a situation of fragmentation. A powerful Chu State, a Chu State that threatens the world, will be completely weakened in an instant, and it will be torn apart, which is not what I want to see.

Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, now that I have become a rebellious minister and thief, I will also be in the same stream, and I will also persecute the king. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Huan said sadly: "And the only thing I want as a chaotic minister and thief is to preserve the vitality of the Chu State as much as possible." For this, even if it costs my life, it will not hesitate! ”

"Your Majesty!" Wei Pu was shocked.

As soon as he heard the death intent in Fan Huan's tone just now, and saw the unwavering look in Fan Huan's eyes, he had served Fan Huan for more than ten years, how could he not know that Fan Huan had decided to bury the King of Chu at this time.

Before Wei Pu could open his mouth to persuade him, he was interrupted by Fan Huan:

"Sir, you don't need to say much, please sir, for the sake of you and my monarchs and ministers for more than ten years, I will do my best to assist the young master in the future!"

“···”

In the Temple of the Black Emperor.

"King, Zuo Yin is here again, kneeling outside the temple."

As soon as Xiong Huai heard Taibu's report, he immediately scolded in his heart: "Hmph, chaotic ministers and thieves!" ”

"King, Sima Jingque is also here."

"Hmph, this guy knew he should have been executed in the first place."

"King, Xianyin Fan Huan is here."

Xiong Huai was taken aback: "Even Xianyin, who has always been loyal, betrayed the widow. ”

Just when Xiong Huai was shocked, Taibu walked in with a wooden box: "King, know the secret report of Beiya." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned, immediately took the wooden box, then opened the wooden box and took out the paper to unfold it, and immediately scolded:

"Bastard thing, what's the big picture? The overall situation, the widow is the overall situation, when is it the turn of the widow to take care of the overall situation, Fan Huan, an old thing, is also a chaotic thief! ”

When Guan You, who had just retreated to the gate, heard this, his face changed, and he immediately lowered his head deeply and disappeared quickly at the door.

"Great King, most of the nobles in the city are here."

“···”

"King, most of the ministers of Yingdu have already come."

“···”

"King, most of the feudal lords between Jiang and Han are here."

“···”

As the news outside the temple continued to come, Xiong Huai's heart, which was still a little lucky, gradually cooled down.

As time passed, as the fire continued to spread, as the sun slowly set in the west, Xiong Huai's body gradually became cold, and he did not feel the slightest warmth.

As the blessing activity gradually ended, although Xiong Huai also had the idea of calling in the army to wipe out the rebellious ministers and thieves outside the temple, but then this thought disappeared.

Not to mention the huge influence of the Zhao Jing clan in the army, relying on the fact that the army was mobilized to attack the nobles and people who prayed for the blessing of the country, Xiong Huai did not know whether the army would really obey orders.

You must know that this fire, which lasted for three days, quickly expanded for three days at the critical time when he, the king of Chu, was praying for the blessing of the country, but it burned all the authority, merits, and prestige of him, the king of Chu, and even his underwear.

Whether the army will still obey the orders of him, the king of Chu, Xiong Huai is not sure in his heart.

Xiong Huai remembers very clearly that the rebellious King of Chu Ling in the past has always firmly controlled the military power. But the result? In the process of King Chu Ling personally leading his troops to attack the enemy country, more than 100,000 Chu troops left King Chu Ling and ran back to China directly.

And King Chu Ling, after enduring loneliness, loneliness, hunger, cold, and persecution, finally committed suicide in despair, and the heirs were cut off, and blood and food were gone.

Now, it seems that it is his turn to bear Huai, although he still has many cronies and ministers by his side, but the ministers and people outside the temple are all telling him that he has betrayed his relatives and left.

Just as Xiong Huai was wandering outside, the figure of the sun slowly disappeared from the west.

Finally... The blessing event is over.

And the miracle did not happen, and the fire outside continued to spread.

With the disappearance of the sun, the earth-shaking prayer outside the original temple disappeared in an instant, and at this moment, the entire Black Emperor Temple was silent inside and outside, and the needle could be heard.

After a pause, Zhao Chang in the crowd stood up, stepped forward three steps, walked in front of everyone who knelt down to pray for blessings, and in the silence, shouted, "Please come out and see the king!" ”

Before the shouting fell, countless people responded: "Please come out and see the king..." Please come out and see the king... Please come out and see the king..."
