Yizhou, Chengdu.

State Pastoral Mansion, in Liu Yan's study.

Zhao Wei sat opposite Liu Yan and didn't say a word.

At this moment, Liu Yan had a gloomy face, and pushed all the bamboo slips on the desk to the ground with a bang, and then scolded in a low voice: "Waste, it's all a bunch of waste!" The dignified general was actually killed by the people of the Nanzheng clan, which is really a shame! After Deng Zheng killed Pang Xi, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, it took four days for the news to be transmitted back to Chengdu, and Liu Yan got the news that Pang Xi had been killed. Now the army is presided over by Ling Bao, and Deng Xian assists Ling Bao as a deputy general.

Zhao Wei comforted: "My lord, Pang Xi is arrogant and does not listen to advice, so that he will perish. Now Ling Bao led the army and confronted Deng Zheng, the army was at its peak, and it would definitely be able to defeat Deng Zheng. Ling Bao is a person who knows the soldiers, and he will definitely be able to defeat Deng Zheng by leading the army and live up to the high expectations of the lord. ”

After Liu Yan heard this, he gasped for breath, and it took a long time to calm the anger in his heart, and sighed: "Now that the situation is unclear, I can only look forward to Ling Bao's meritorious service, and I hope that Ling Bao will not disappoint." ”

After a pause, Liu Yan asked again, "Does Yan Yan have a letter?" ”

Zhao Wei said: "After General Yan captured Baocheng, he did not come out of Baocheng, and he has successfully dragged Wang Can's army, so that Wang Can cannot move at will. The situation in Baocheng is still in a stalemate, and there is no new news. General Yan faced Wang Can's army, and it was already a little difficult to defend Baocheng, and it was quite difficult to defeat Wang Can. Now we can only wait for Ling Bao and the other army to achieve victory, so that Wang Can has to return to help, so that General Yan can breathe a sigh of relief, and the confrontation between the army and Wang Can can only depend on General Yan's own ability. ”

Liu Yan showed a relieved look on his face and said, "General Yan is old and serious, and he should be my confidant." ”

At this time, Liu Yan did not know the news of Yan Yan's failure.

When the news of Yan Yan's arrest comes back, I'm afraid it will be a few days later.

Liu Yan talked about Yan Yan's matter, and his mood improved a little. His expression was slightly gloomy, and he asked in a low voice: "This time I fought with Wang Can, according to your suggestion, put aside the Yizhou clan." Gu also understood that it was easy for them to leak news, so he agreed to your proposal and did not let Jia Long, Ren Qi and other Yizhou clans know. They weren't involved in the secrets, so what's going on now? ”

A flash of luster in Zhao Wei's eyes flashed, and he said, "There is no movement yet." ”

Liu Yan said: "That's good! ”

Liu Yan understood what Zhao Wei was thinking.

However, Liu Yan supported Zhao Wei's approach. Because the Yizhou clan is entrenched in Yizhou, the political path is different, and Liu Yan's decree cannot be implemented. If Liu Yan wants to establish his prestige, he must have someone to be a thug, Zhao Wei is bent on suppressing the Yizhou clan headed by Jia Long, and is in harmony with Liu Yan's ideas, so Liu Yan will acquiesce to Zhao Wei's ideas.

However, Liu Yan would not let the Yizhou clan led by Jia Long be overwhelmed by Zhao Wei.

If that's the case, the people led by Zhao Wei will become a new clan, which is not in line with Liu Yan's way of balance.

What Liu Yan needs is for Zhao Wei to suppress Jia Long and form a balance, to suppress the current arrogance of the Yizhou clan, so that everyone understands that he is the lord of Yizhou, and not the head of a big family can influence Yizhou's political decision-making. It's a pity that Liu Yan is dying of old age and lacks energy, and he doesn't have too much energy to govern Yizhou at all, and more things are used to arrange future affairs.

Zhao Wei's eyes rolled, changed the topic, and said: "Recently, the lord let the prince participate in politics, and the prince dealt with the affairs of Yizhou, which was a little rusty at first, but after being familiar with political affairs, he was simply resolute and resolute, without dragging his feet, showing the demeanor of the lord of a state." There is a successor to the lord, which is gratifying. ”

After Liu Yan heard this, he also stroked his beard and showed a smile.

Liu Yan, who is in the prime of life, will definitely be furious when he hears this, after all, it involves the struggle for the rights of father and son.

Now, Liu Yan is dying of old age, and what he is looking forward to is a successor, and Zhao Wei's words are in Liu Yan's arms. What Liu Yan wants to do now is to pave the way for his third son Liu Mao, so that Liu Mao can deal with the affairs of Yizhou. Because of this, Liu Yan set aside Jia Long and Ren Qi, adopted Zhao Wei's opinion, and sent troops to attack Hanzhong to deal with internal troubles for Liu Mao.

It's just that Wang Can is a hard bone, not only can't gnaw it, but it may also hurt Liu Yan's teeth.

Liu Yan sighed and said: "Mao'er is not in good health, as an old minister of Yizhou, you need to help a lot, especially as a veteran minister of Yizhou, you should vigorously support Mao'er and help Mao'er gain a firm foothold." Mao'er and you can be said to be both prosperous and lossy. If you can give birth to a good life to assist Mao'er, it is also a matter of one sentence to seal your wife and shade. ”

Zhao Wei arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, even if Yun is broken, he must assist Mao Gongzi to handle internal affairs, so that the lord can recuperate with peace of mind." ”

Liu Yan nodded, but suddenly felt a surge of qi and blood in his chest, and kept coughing.

He pulled a silk silk from his sleeve, covered his mouth, and coughed incessantly.

The hoarse cough echoed in the study.

Between coughing, Liu Yan's thin body also trembled slightly. Seeing this, Zhao Wei hurriedly stood up, walked in front of Liu Yan, and gently patted Liu Yan's back, wanting to smooth Liu Yan's breath. It took a long time for Liu Yan to stop, but a flush appeared on his wrinkled face, and he spread out the silk silk covering his mouth, which was already stained with blood.

Seeing this, Zhao Wei hurriedly asked, "Lord, have you been sick to this point?" ”

At this time, Zhao Wei's eyes were red, and he said: "Lord, after returning from his humble duties, he will immediately visit famous doctors for his lord and treat his father's patients, so as to prevent his lord from suffering from illness." ”

When he spoke, Zhao Wei's voice seemed a little choked.

Seeing this, Liu Yan showed a touch of emotion on his face.

This is the old minister who is loyal to him!

Immediately, he shook his head and ordered: "Zhao Wei, you don't need to look for a famous doctor after you go back, and don't be extravagant." You entered Shu with me, you are my confidant, your right-hand man, I know your loyalty, but my disease has long been deeply rooted in my heart and cannot be cured. You must not go around looking for a doctor, lest people get the news, and Yizhou will inevitably be flustered at that time. What you have to do is to assist Mao'er well and let Mao'er inherit my position. ”

"No!"

Zhao Wei stood up, lifted his robe, knelt down, and said impassionedly: "The lord can rest assured, the humble position will definitely assist the prince and live up to the high expectations of the lord." ”

Liu Yan's words vaguely regarded him as a lonely minister.

Such a good thing, how could Zhao Wei not be happy.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and an attendant hurriedly knocked on the door and reported: "My lord, the prince has just fainted on the ground. ”

"Huh?"

After Liu Yan heard this, he only felt a buzzing in his head, but fortunately, Liu Yan was also very human, so he quickly suppressed the uneasy emotions in his heart and ordered: "Go, go and see how Mao'er is doing?" ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Yan took Zhao Wei and walked towards Liu Mao's residence.

Zhao Wei was already regarded as a lonely minister, so he naturally went to the backyard with Liu Yan.
