Chapter 480

Tick tock

In the dark cell, the water droplets formed by the moisture in the morning are constantly falling and knocking out a rhythmic rhythm. An old man with some gray hair was wearing refined steel shackles all over his body. They were made of forged materials of five grade spirit soldiers, but he closed his eyes gently, hummed a small song happily on his face, followed the rhythm of the water drop, his head trembled, seemed to enjoy it, and could not see the embarrassment of being in prison!

Kara!

Suddenly, there was a soft noise, and the door of the cell creaked and was beaten open. The old man also froze, stopped, opened his eyes and looked at the position of the prison door.

There, a figure dressed in yellow brocade came in slowly.

"Hehe... My prime minister Zhuge, how are you living here?" The beard shook slightly, and the emperor walked down the steps slowly, with the winner's smile on his face.

He smiled noncommittally. Zhuge Changfeng's face was not sad at all, but quite relaxed: "thank you for your concern. I'm all right here. Without fighting in the court and intrigue, my heart is much calmer! "

"Hahaha... The prime minister is really in a good state of mind. He was defeated in a mess, but he still enjoyed himself. I have to admire him!" I couldn't help laughing, the emperor sneered.

He shook his head slowly, and Zhuge Changfeng said faintly, "failure is failure. Even if you are annoyed, it won't help. Why don't you calm down and enjoy the rest of the time? By the way, your majesty is not here today to take away the rest of my leisure days. "

"No, no, no, although your prime minister Zhuge is bound to die, because you are too dangerous, I will never rest assured that I will leave you to my children and grandchildren after a hundred years. Once you get out of trouble, there will be endless trouble. Therefore, I will give you death before I die! But not now. You and I have worked together for nearly a hundred years. We are close friends. We know each other very well. If you die first, I will feel lonely! "

"Close friends? Hehe... "

With disdain, Zhuge Changfeng shook his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, do you have any close friends? We are just rivals who have been biting each other for decades. Friends... Maybe I had fantasized before, but later I knew that your Majesty would never make any friends. The emperor's mind, alone, can't have friends! "

Hearing this, the emperor was silent a little, and his face was filled with sadness, but he passed away: "yes, the country is more important than everything. I am the emperor of this country. How can I become friends with ordinary people? But you should also know that I did fantasize about all this. When I work with you, I really treat you as my confidant! "

"But you finally did it to me!"

He smiled all his life. Zhuge Changfeng looked up at the dark ceiling in the dungeon, his eyes were stunned, and seemed to fall into deep memories: "do you remember Prime Minister Yang? At that time, I was just a small official who had just entered the official career. Thanks to your majesty, I was flattered and promoted all the way! At that time, you said that Prime Minister Yang covered the sky, controlled the court, was a traitor and a traitor. We should work together with Weichen to eradicate the treacherous and crafty. Afterwards, we should let Weichen call it a phase and create a prosperous world together! "

"Yes, I wasn't wrong at that time. That man really had ulterior motives. He formed a party for personal gain and was suspected of conspiracy!" The emperor stroked his beard, but a frightening light flashed in his eyes.

Unconsciously, he shook his head with a smile. Zhuge Changfeng continued, "I thought so at that time, so I worked with your majesty to collect evidence and took him down. However, when I went to Yang's house to arrest him in high spirits. But he told me to be careful, your majesty, and kill himself on the spot. At that time, I didn't know what it meant. I thought it was the words provoked by the rebellious minister, so I didn't care. "

"However, after being a minister for ten years, he worked hard and divided his work, but the same thing happened again. Your majesty found a younger official to serve the imperial court with his blood and lure him to attack me. I was deceived at that time. Why did your majesty treat me like this? Later, I forbeared in secret and remained unmoved no matter how provocative you were. At the same time, I thoroughly investigated the affairs of Prime Minister Yang at the beginning. The man was an old man of the previous dynasty. He was loyal and did nothing wrong. He was forced to rebel by his majesty. At that time, I finally understood what Prime Minister Yang's last words meant. The heart of the emperor is indeed unfathomable! "

"The position of prime minister is in the hands of both the government and the public. One can't stay still. But as an old minister, if I move him for no reason, I'm afraid I will be criticized by the world and make all officials cold hearted. I can only try to get rid of it. "

His face was full of cold, and the emperor said calmly: "however, Prime Minister Zhuge is much smarter than him. Over the years, I can't get you anything. Even the people arranged behind you to replace you have been removed by you by various means. At that time, I was sure that yunxuanji's prediction was true. You must be the first of the four pillars. Later, you really had a huge influence, deterred seven families, and made me reach a balance between inside and outside! "

Hearing this, Zhuge Changfeng shook his head with a bitter smile and felt an unspeakable taste in his heart: "it turns out that everything is still under your Majesty's control. Although I noticed some, I thought that as long as it works properly, I might be able to get rid of all this. Unexpectedly, alas... Your majesty, everyone says that I am the first wisdom star in the world. But in my heart, your majesty is the real first wise man. I can't fight with your majesty! "

"Don't be too modest, Prime Minister. I'm just a fool. For example, you introduced the army of dogs into the sky this time. As an emperor, I didn't notice it at all. Finally, he was besieged by the soldiers and cut off one tenth of the land before he was ordered to withdraw and suffered all kinds of humiliation. It was also a helpless move. Alas, I am ashamed of the people in the sky and my ancestors! "

The emperor sighed, but a faint smile crossed the corners of his mouth.

Zhuge Changfeng smiled and shook his head: "it seems... The name of selling the country here will also fall on me. Your Majesty's calculation is deep. He has pretended to be a fool for nearly a hundred years. I really admire his great perseverance! "

"However, when I put this traitorous hat on my head, I'll put it on. Anyway, I've long been indifferent to everything, even if it's bad for thousands of years. There is only one thing that lingers in my heart for a long time. I'm puzzled. Please explain your doubts! "

"But it doesn't matter!" The emperor waved his sleeve and was elated.

After pondering for a while, Zhuge Changfeng said: "when I knew the two saints of heaven and earth, I was still a scholar. How could your majesty arrange them to be with me at that time?"

"Ha ha... Thanks to the high priest, Yun Xuanji!"

With a grin, the emperor seemed quite satisfied with this skill: "you should not forget that you and Dugu zhantian were recommended by the high priest. In fact, before he recommended you, it already predicted that your appearance would be a blessing in the universe. I let him slow down to see your mind! "

"At that time, I found that although Dugu zhantian had a good command of literature and martial arts, he was dull and controlled. And you Zhuge Changfeng, although you were an ignorant young man at that time, you had a mind of seven tricks and delicacy. You were very smart. You must be an old fox in the future. Just in case, I let the two saints of heaven and earth who have not been out of the mountain for a long time pretend to be injured and saved by you. Later, I made friends with you, which is easy to be used by you and regarded as a confidant. "

"Moreover, in order not to arouse your suspicion, although you took the exam every time in those years, I secretly instructed the examiner to let you fail. For three years in a row, you can't even enter the gate of the imperial court. How can you find that the double saints of heaven and earth I met at this time are the assistants I sent to you and also have the duty of monitoring? Later, the situation was almost the same. When you were about to lose confidence, I asked Yun Xuanji to recommend you! "

All the past is well known. Zhuge Changfeng couldn't help taking a deep breath, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "everything has already been in your Majesty's hands. I've been fighting with your majesty for decades. It's really beyond my power!"

"Where, the prime minister has done quite well, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to implement my plan to wipe out the major forces in Tianyu today, ha ha......" I couldn't help laughing. It seems that the emperor has really mastered the world.

Just then, a figure in a gray robe came in, bowed and told him, "Your Majesty, there is urgent information!"

Zhuge Changfeng raised his eyes to the man, and unconsciously raised his eyebrows and said, "you... Are you Ming of Youming Valley, I remember you were with the second prince. Why..."

"Prime minister Zhuge, I'm not afraid to tell you that the rebellion of the second emperor was also instigated by you Ming. Knowing that the son is not like the father, the child's mind is too anxious. If someone nearby encourages him, he will take the bait. " The corner of his mouth tilted slightly. The emperor looked at Zhuge Changfeng provocatively and said with a smile: "also, I have decided to assist the Prime Minister of the next emperor, that is Youming!"

"Thank your highness, Ron!" Youming quickly bowed down and showed his respect.

Zhuge Changfeng raised his eyebrows and sighed: "Your Majesty's intention is to use the rebellion of the second prince to lead me to do it. In order to attract me, I used my parents and children to let him fall into the bad name of conspiring to usurp the throne, and he will never turn over. Your Majesty's mind is really deep. The so-called tiger poison doesn't eat its son. Your majesty is much more cruel than a tiger! "

"Hum, isn't that why you are too cautious? I've sent all the people around me, and you won't do it yet. If you don't do it, as the prime minister, how can I easily deal with you and catch all your followers? " The emperor knew that he was sarcastic about his cruelty and couldn't help humming.

Youming respectfully handed a green jade slip to the emperor for reference.

But before the emperor took over, Zhuge Changfeng said again: "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't see the sun all day and knows nothing about external affairs. This news is important. Can you let the old minister listen to it?"

The emperor turned his head to look at him, narrowed his eyes, sneered and said, "hum, you are in prison. Even if you know what, what does it matter? OK, Youming, check the contents of the jade slips and report them to me and Prime Minister Zhuge to see if there is any good news. Maybe Dugu Aotian's army was destroyed, hahaha...... "

The emperor laughed wildly, but Zhuge Changfeng sat there quietly with his ears floating slightly.

Youming took orders and sank into the jade slips for a long time, but suddenly opened his eyes, showing a surprised color in his eyes and murmured: "tell your majesty, now the Luo family has spread the matter of the army of dogs into Tianyu to all corners of Tianyu. In the name of King Qin's rescue and expelling barbarians, he has recruited troops and horses. At present, there are nearly millions! "

"What?"

The emperor was startled and immediately ate a dead fly. His throat was growling, but he couldn't say a word.

Hearing this, Zhuge Changfeng laughed and clapped his hands: "hahaha... It's worthy of being Zhuo fan's boy, conspiracy and trick, well done! Your majesty, you have lifted a stone and hit yourself in the foot this time! " The emperor glared at him, and his teeth rattled.
