Chapter 408 Confrontation
At this moment, Zheng Wei completely understood that Han Shidi wanted to learn from Cao Gong to use the emperor to command the princes. When Zi was not a ruling monarch today, Han Shidi planned to depose the emperor and establish a new young king.
"It's worthy of being Mr. Xiao Han, but it's a game of killing two birds with one stone."
Zheng Wei's lips were ridiculed, "But you are not Cao Gong, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is not a disintegrating Han Dynasty. It is impossible to accomplish something in such a hasty situation without any power! You are just pushing those soldiers who trust you into the fire pit and burying you!"
Han Shidi was not angry when he heard this, but nodded in agreement, "It's really too hasty, but unfortunately I don't have time anymore. If there were another year or two, today's situation would definitely not be such a farce."
"However, I am not without any chance of winning today. Moreover, the princess said something wrong just now. Even if all the plans have failed today, how can His Majesty punish us? "
"Of course," Zheng Wei wanted to say that they were a crime of rebellion, but suddenly realized that although the Chen brothers and Chu Tinggang surrounded the palace, they did not move their troops, and only said that they would ask His Majesty to give them food and money to live. Although it was a serious crime to act without an order, with Xiahou Qing leading his troops to attack the city, they only needed to use the name of serving the king and protecting the emperor and easily blocking the public's mouths. His Majesty could not directly convict them.
As for Han Shidi, he was hidden behind the scenes from beginning to end. It seemed to have nothing to do with today's affairs. If Emperor Zhou could not obtain ironclad evidence, he would be unable to deal with the prince of the hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"It was the student who underestimated the sir. It turned out that the sir had even calculated the retreat!"
Zheng Wei sincerely praised this time, then she stood up and looked at him and said, "Since the teacher has no worries about his life, the student has no scruples, but let go and try his best to stop the teacher!"
Zheng Wei walked straight out. Since it was clear, it depends on who they can be better at. As long as Han Shidi couldn't find the two princes, their farce would not last until the sunset.
As for the old ministers and scholars on the Imperial Street, they were not in the overall situation, so Han Shidi would not hurt them.
But when she walked to the door, she found that the door had been locked. Zheng Wei looked back and saw Han Shidi smiling and said, "Princess, why bother to leave in a hurry? Why should I stay here and see if I can laugh at the end."
Zheng Wei ignored him and stabbed him out of the sheath. Just relying on a door alone was like closing himself!
"Princess is a little restless. The people under me have already gone to Xiulizhuang. Although I know you can't put the prince and the others in Xiulizhuang, after all, the people in Xiulizhuang are very important to you."
Zheng Wei knew that Han Shidi was trapping her from Xiulizhuang, so she really didn't dare to act rashly. In fact, even if she went out to meet the prince and the others at this time, Han Shidi's people would definitely follow her.
But now she couldn't guarantee that the prince and the others would be very safe in Liao Wennan. She was not worried that Liao Wennan would betray her because of her relationship with General Han, because Liao Wennan was the most proud in his bones and would not give up his pride because of a man, otherwise he would not have fled from Jiujiang to Jiankang.
What she was worried about was that Han Shidi was too smart. If he guessed the hiding place of the prince and the others, the two women Liao Wennan and Yingya would not be able to protect them at all.
Zheng Wei was worried and tightly clutching the short thorns, and really began to restlessly. Han Shidi looked at her, then reached out to grind the ink, picked up a pen and handed it to her for a moment, and said earnestly as he used to when he was in the Imperial Academy: "The princess's frivolous temperament has not changed. Only by being calm can he not go through the fork. The princess might as well finish the painting on the screen."
Zheng Wei looked at the ink-dripping pen, slowly reached out to take it, walked to the screen and raised her sleeves to prepare to lift the pen.
But he stopped and looked back at Han Shidi, "Is it because the gentlest and calm gentleman who puts himself in such a dangerous situation? "
"The princess is still so unforgivable!" Han Shidi was stunned, as if he smiled helplessly, but Zheng Wei ignored him, lifted his pen and continued to draw the original painting.
Zheng Wei's fine brushwork was taught by his grandfather, and Han Shidi has been struggling in the military camp since he was a child. Zheng Wei's painter is much better than him, and the characters revealed from her are a little more real. Han Shidi looked at the person who was five or sixty points similar to him and suddenly jumped out, holding a long sword to stab the enemy opposite, and suddenly was blocked in the square courtyard and was depressed. Finally, the man suddenly picked up the rusty long sword and stabbed him at his own people. The expression on the man's face was very terrifying.
"It's not like this!" Han Shidi shouted suddenly. Zheng Wei stopped the pen in his hand but did not look back. Then he heard Han Shidi defend himself: "If the Han family had a little way out, I wouldn't have taken this step! If my father was not stupid and loyal, I wouldn't care about the people of Jiankang City, and I wouldn't have to be so timid and look back! The Great Zhou would have changed hands long ago!"
"Is it wrong for me to save my family? The princess also understands the affairs of the court. How dare you say that he has never had the intention to kill the Zhongyong Duke Mansion?"
"All mistakes are wrong. My father should not have participated in the deposed Prince Xian, but the death of Prince Xian had nothing to do with my father. Your Majesty knew it, but he could not tolerate him and our family!"
Han Shidi became more and more excited as he spoke, but Zheng Wei said coldly, "It is you who is against you today! No matter you have a thousand reasons, no matter how many contributions the general has made, you will be destroyed today!"
Han Shidi sat back blankly, as if he was a little dazed and a little transparent. He looked out and said softly, "Princess, I once had a dream. In the dream, my father was also a hero of the Great Zhou. The emperor left the four of us brothers in Kyoto in the name of care. We studied and practiced martial arts every day according to His Majesty's arrangements, married and had children. One year, his Majesty was seriously ill and Lingwang supervised the country. The King of Ling persuaded His Majesty to summon his father to Beijing. My mother was suspicious and didn't want his father.
I went to Beijing in person, but my father was too stupid and confident. He felt that he was the guardian god of the Great Zhou, and His Majesty would not attack him! But His Majesty slaughtered hundreds of people in the Zhongyong Gong Mansion on the day my father entered Beijing. My son was only three years old at that time and was taken to the punishment platform in a daze. A knife of blood flowed until it soaked my knees. It hurt my whole body. It really hurts when the knife fell on me, just like I was really cut, and I woke up suddenly!”
Han Shidi turned to look at Zheng Wei and said in a daze: "At night, as long as I close my eyes, I can see my father's family being killed. The blood dyed the punishment platform red, and the sky in Jiankang City red. My family has died once. I must not let that scene happen again! Even if I can't escape this time, as long as I die, my father will not return to Beijing. My parents, brothers, wives and children can live well! Thinking of this, I feel that it's worth it!"
Zheng Wei opened her eyes wide in surprise, as if the dream Han Shidi was talking about was shocking to her but she didn't feel absurd. Han Shidi actually smiled when she saw her look, "Thank you, believe what I said!"
Zheng Wei swallowed her saliva. It was really hard for her not to believe it because she had such a real dream.
