Chapter Nineteen
Guo’s Mansion, when Wei Zhong followed the guard into the lobby, besides Guo Si, he saw Li Jue kneeling on the cushion with an ugly expression, looking at him with a bad expression.
Wei Zhong shivered in his heart and subconsciously wanted to run away, but the guard had already left after bowing to Guo Si and pulled the door of the lobby up.
"I, Wei Zhong, see the general." Seeing Li Jue glaring at him, Wei Zhong bowed quickly and said with a humble look on his face. Li Jue was obviously not in a good mood. Wei Zhong was afraid that the other party would still hold a grudge against what happened last time and cut himself to death with a sword. That was really not even a place to reason.
"Hmph!" Li Jue glared at Wei Zhong aloud and looked at Guo Si.
"Okay, I'm asking you to come this time, it's about Yang Ding." Guo Si waved his hand and looked at Wei Zhong and said, "In recent days, I heard that the little emperor is very concerned about Yang Ding?"
Wei Zhong pondered his words and said humbly: "This servant doesn't understand very much, but Your Majesty is really good to General Yang. He talks with General Yang about some interesting things in the army. Occasionally, he will reward some things. When he eats food every day, if he encounters delicious food, he will give it to General Yang."
Li Jue's face turned pale and said anxiously: "This little emperor has more methods than before. If it were me, I would probably be moved."
"What has Your Majesty done recently?" Guo Si signaled Li Jue to be calm and turned around and asked Wei Zhong.
"Your Majesty is practicing his tiger fist every day. Although General Yang Ding said that it was a fancy, His Majesty has been insisting on it. In addition, he either chats with General Yang or is studying at other times." Wei Zhong said respectfully.
"Do you read?" Guo Si nodded when he heard this, and thought to himself. Although Liu Xie's methods seemed a little naive, they had a very ancient style. Now it seems that they should be in which book they read. He couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that our Majesty wants to imitate the ancient sages."
Li Jue said disdainfully: "What ancient sages are there? Chang'an City and even the entire Guanzhong are under the control of you and me. Even if they are real sages, what can they do to me? Yang Ding doesn't know how to live or die, let's see how I deal with him!"
"Don't be anxious." Guo Si shook his head: "Now that Chang'an is new, it is arbitrary to kill soldiers. If it makes people unstable, it will not be beneficial to you and me."
Although Li Jue and Guo Si were not weak in the Xiliang army before, they had not yet reached the level of commanding a 100,000 army. When they decided to counterattack Chang'an, the total number of troops in their hands was only 10,000. Now, the 200,000 troops in Chang'an are mostly Dong Zhuo's troops who were gathered together on the way to counterattack Chang'an. Although the two of them are now in power, they have insufficient foundation. Once they kill Yang Ding at this moment, they will be disturbed.
In Li Jue's opinion, this is not a big deal. After all, the overall situation of the two has been decided now. Even if the generals in the army are dissatisfied, they dare not rebel at will. However, Guo Si is cautious in his personality, especially when the two are unstable, he dare not do whatever they want.
"What should I do? Could it be that I watched him lean towards the little emperor?" Li Jie groaned and shouted sternly.
Wei Zhong took two steps back carefully. At this moment, he actually didn't want to stay here. After all, these things were already secrets between the two. Who knows whether these two people forgot about themselves? If they pursued them later, Wei Zhong would cry to death.
"It has not been officially enthroned yet, and it's just a small lieutenant. Just transfer him away." Guo Si noticed Wei Zhong's actions, shook his head and smiled, "Eunuch Wei, don't be nervous. Since we let you stay here, we naturally treat you as our own person."
"Yes, thank you for your kindness, general." Wei Zhong couldn't say what he was feeling at the moment, he was nervous, excited, and a faint fear. After all, the task given to him by Liu Xie was to invade Guo Si and others, waiting for an opportunity to provoke the relationship between the two sides.
Now Guo Si obviously regarded Wei Zhong as his own person after Yang Ding's affairs, but because of this, Wei Zhong was even more like walking on thin ice. Looking back at this moment, Yang Ding was originally Li Jue and Guo Si's confidant, and had a bright future, but was played with Liu Xie in applause. It took only a few minutes before he was completely regarded as aliens by Li Jue and Guo Si, and even wanted to get rid of it quickly.
Wei Zhong had never thought that he would completely turn to Li Jue and Guo Si. Allegiance is just a moment of psychological change. People's hearts are unpredictable. No one knows whether the person who was loyal to you the moment before would be completely betray you because of some inadvertent trivial matter next moment. Even if he had systematic assistance, he had helped Wei Zhong strengthen it several times, but it only made Wei Zhong closer to Liu Xie. Now that Li Guo is powerful, it is normal for him to completely turn against you.
But this thought only flashed in Wei Zhong's mind. When Liu Xie thought of his calmness, he dug Yang Ding away from Li Jue and Guo Si. If he really turned against him, this time, he would probably not be as good as the last time. Maybe he would not know why he died in the end.
Although he was afraid of Li Jue and Guo Si, when he thought of Liu Xie's actions during this period, for some reason, Wei Zhong felt that Li Guo could not fight Liu Xie. The emperor, who was younger than him, had a terrifying spirit, which made people unconsciously feared.
Perhaps, this is also an opportunity?
For Li Jue and Guo Si, even if he really turns against him, he is just a dog, but His Majesty will be different. If His Majesty can really regain power in the future, then as his right-hand assistant when His Majesty is the weakest, his status will naturally rise.
All these thoughts flashed through Wei Zhong's mind for this moment, and then Wei Zhong's gaze gradually became firmer and his waist bent lower.
"My father-in-law, let me go back first. If the little emperor has any abnormal movements, remember to notify me immediately. Please take this token. With this token, you can go to the palace freely. When you go out, you have already prepared five thousand coins for my father-in-law." Guo Si smiled and looked at Wei Zhong and said.
"Here." Wei Zhong bowed respectfully, maintained a respectful posture, and slowly exited the room.
"Adu, why should you be so polite to this little yellow sect? It's just a eunuch." After Wei Zhong left, Li Jue finally couldn't help but say dissatisfied. In his opinion, he and others now hold the power of Guanzhong. A little yellow sect can respect him with him, and there is no need to worry about winning over him so much.
"Sometimes, such villains can play a big role. Otherwise, if it weren't for him this time, how could the little emperor secretly enlisting the generals in the army so quickly?" Guo Si smiled. Although he sent someone to supervise Liu Xie, those supervisors were all commanded by Yang Ding. Once something went wrong with Yang Ding here, they were blind. If Liu Xie had any actions to help him hide, they would not be able to detect them at all. It would be fine for a while. If it took a long time, who would know what kind of chaos would happen.
When Li Jie heard about Yang Ding's incident, his face turned a little darker. He groaned and sneered: "The little emperor had the grace of survival for him, but he betrayed him so simply. It seems that these eunuchs are indeed the ones who are inclined to be in power."
"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't dare to use him!" Guo Si couldn't help but smile coldly when he heard this: "A villain has the benefits of villain, just like the ten regular attendants at the time, who are willing to do anything as long as it is beneficial."
"You are so colorful." Li Jie shook his head and said, "Although the military camp has been decided, I still need to prepare more food and grass. Tomorrow I will go to Guandong and plunder more food and grass, wealth, and Chang'an. It depends on you."
"Don't worry, those old guys can't make any troubles." Guo Si nodded after hearing this.
"However, if Yang Ding is transferred, who are you going to send to take over? Then Xu Huang looks stupid and the little emperor is cunning, so he may not be able to watch it." Li Jie asked with a frown.
"What do you think of Youwei?" Guo Si asked.
"Zhang Xiu?" Li Jie frowned.
"Well, I'm sorry for Zhang Ji after all, and Youwei is skilled in guns and horses. Now he is idle in Chang'an. After a long time, he will inevitably have other thoughts. It's better to put him next to the emperor and take a free agent." Guo Si nodded.
"Okay." Li Jue thought about it and thought that this method was good. After all, Zhang Ji was an old brother. Although he was detaining his nephew was a precaution, he did it too obvious, which inevitably made people feel cold. It was good to be a free agent. And although it was a free agent, this place was very important. Xu Huang was steady and meticulous. He was rejected by his colleagues in Xiliang. However, for this reason, they were willing to use it, but the person in charge could not be Xu Huang. He had to be "his own people" to be at ease. Zhang Xiu was obviously a good choice.
As for how Yang Ding will deal with it, although he will not kill him for the time being, it is obviously impossible to reuse it.
