One Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty-Seven: Suspicion (Below)
Sometimes Cheng Jing was very confused, not knowing what Jiang Pengji was thinking.
Xu Ke now has no lack of status or credit, he only lacks the reputation that can intimidate Xiaoxiao.
Just like the question Wei Ci asked just now——
Xu Ke has always been loyal to Jiang Pengji, but Jiang Pengji has not made him famous in the front line these years, will he complain?
If it were Cheng Jing, he would complain.
but--
"I don't think Xu Ke has any resentment about it."
so……
The relationship between Jiang Pengji and Xu Ke is very fascinating, and Cheng Jing, as an outsider, is not easy to talk about.
Wei Ci hesitated, and couldn't help whispering, "...But...Ci thinks that with Xu Ke's temperament, he shouldn't be content with the rear...Even if it doesn't reach the level of resentment, there should be dissatisfaction in his heart. This is human nature. Common sense."
The experience of the previous life also proved this point.
Xu Ke is determined to treat the old master's kindness of knowledge and understanding.
No matter how kind His Majesty treated him later, Xu Ke still secretly planned a mutiny, besieged His Majesty in a steep mountain, and forced her into a desperate situation. Even if all the generals reacted to save him later, they all thought that His Majesty was dead, because Xu Ke hid too deeply!
Of course, in the end, His Majesty killed all the soldiers and horses in ambush, and sat silently on the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
She personally killed Xu Ke and beheaded him.
Why is Xu Ke obsessed with his old master, and even gave up his bright future?
Wasn't it because when the old master appeared, he cultivated him vigorously, and even gave him a heavy responsibility to make Xu Ke come out of the trough.
Xu Ke attaches great importance to reputation.
This point has not changed in the past and present.
Wei Ci didn't suspect him at first. After all, Xu Ke has been taking care of the rear with trepidation all these years, and he has worked hard for the lord. Who is full of doubts about him? Until what the lord said before he set off, Wei Ci realized that the matter might be more serious than he thought.
He couldn't help overturning all his original guesses, and made everyone a target of suspicion.
On this basis, he asked himself a question——
If these people were to rebel, who would be most likely to control the situation without causing chaos?
It couldn't be Qi Guanrang, it couldn't be Yang Si, it couldn't be Feng Zhen, it couldn't be Han Yu, it couldn't be Fu Wang, it couldn't be Li Yun, it couldn't be Jiang Nongqin...these are all important officials of the lord, in a certain There are excellent performances in this aspect, but they can't do this. Only Xu Ke—only Xu Ke has this ability, which seems inconspicuous but controls all the lifelines. Even if the protagonist dies suddenly, as long as Xu Ke does not fall, the foundation of the entire power group will not collapse. Whoever he supports can hold his ground.
From this perspective, Xu Ke is the most suspicious.
but--
Wei Ci also did not expect to testify that Xu Ke is the ironclad evidence of the suspect.
He has no reason to betray!
If it's because he doesn't have the chance to become famous and make a name for himself, why shouldn't he mention it to the lord?
The lord will be stingy with such a few opportunities?
Will she disregard her subject's wishes and forcibly confine him in a field so that he cannot develop?
How can it be?
Back then, Han Yu was the number one adviser under Xu Pei's tent, he was good at sending troops to fight, but he was more suitable for writing laws and books.
When the lord supported his development in this direction, he also carefully sought Han Yu's opinion, and Han Yu gradually reduced his activity in front of the battle. But if he really wants to go to the front line, the Lord will not refute his request. Han Yu is like this, let alone Xu Ke?
Wei Ci was very conflicted in his heart.
Jiang Pengji was in danger at this time, he couldn't restrain his worry, but at the same time he had to restrain himself from being suspected by everyone.
The more you can't restrain your doubts, the more suspicious you are, the more paranoid you will be.
Cheng Jing saw that Wei Ci's eyebrows were full of worry, and asked, "You mentioned this suddenly, but is there something wrong with Xu Ke?"
Wei Ci smiled wryly, "Maybe I'm paranoid."
Xu Ke has contradictions and something wrong, but it is not enough to explain the other party's betrayal.
Just guessing without evidence, if Xu Ke finds out, the relationship between the two of them will completely break down, and they will never see each other again.
Cheng Jing said, "It may not be suspicious."
Wei Ci: "???"
He said meaningfully, "Jiang Jun seems to be on guard against Xu Ke."
Wei Ci's face turned pale.
Cheng Jing said, "As I said earlier, Jiang Jun is the most sensitive person. Will she find out what Xu Ke lacks? According to her temperament, how can she tolerate such grievances for her subordinates? She has taken care of everyone one by one. Reason will skip Xu Ke who should not be ignored."
Wei Ci's heart sank, and the hands resting on his knees trembled slightly.
Cheng Jing shook his head and said, "But as you said, there is no evidence and no evidence for this matter. No matter how you guess, it seems like we are suspicious."
To really solve the puzzle, I am afraid that we have to wait for the moment when the answer is revealed.
"Zixiao, is something big going to happen recently?"
Wei Ci raised his head and met his senior brother's eyes, and felt like he was staring at him for a moment, and all the secrets in his heart were exposed in front of others.
He rolled his eyes unnaturally, "No..."
"If it's really nothing, according to your temperament, how can you think wildly, and even doubt an important minister like Xu Ke?"
Not everyone is as broad-minded as the sea.
Some bottom lines cannot be touched. Once touched, it will offend people to death.
Wei Ci will not fail to understand this truth.
The only possibility is that he discovered something, which is why he was so troubled and sad.
Wei Ci still shook his head, not willing to say another word.
He almost forgot his senior brother's ability to read people's hearts and clichés. It was a mistake to choose to talk to him today.
Cheng Jing said, "If you really doubt it, then don't take it lightly."
Before leaving, Cheng Jing raised his hand and patted Wei Ci's shoulder, encouraging him in a low voice.
Compared to Xu Ke, he trusts his junior brother more.
Wei Ci suspected that there was something wrong with Xu Ke, and there must be some unexplainable reason.
"Is something delivered?"
Mr. Yuan Jing was sitting on the porch helping his wife to curl the yarn, when he heard the big apprentice came back, he raised his head and asked a question.
"Well, sent it over."
"Look at your expression, you seem to be troubled, but something happened to your junior brother?"
Cheng Jing didn't want to reveal more about Wei Ci's words, but said, "Recently, I studied astronomy with my teacher, and I realized something."
"Huh? Do you have any experience, let me hear it?"
Cheng Jing thought about it, "Jiang Jun's road to becoming emperor may not be very smooth."
Mr. Yuan Jing nodded and praised, "It seems that you have learned well."
The teacher's wife was angry, "What are you two talking about that are outrageous?"
Mr. Yuan Jing sighed, "It's just that there was a slight setback, not that the gutter capsized. How can this be considered treason?"
The teacher's wife snorted, snatched the ball of yarn he rolled, got up and went to the back kitchen to see how the meal was doing, and left space for them.
"Teacher, you mean..."
Mr. Yuan Jing said, "Emperor Xing is indeed facing a killing situation between the wolf and the tiger, but you should trust him, after all, he is the son of destiny."
Cheng Jing: "In this case, why didn't Master warn Jiang Jun and let him prepare early?"
Mr. Yuan Jing curled his lips, "Jiang Jun also set up the killing game, in order to wait for the tiger and wolf to enter the game, and remind her what to do?"
Cheng Jing: "..."
"Suddenly, I regretted supporting your brothers and sisters to become officials. When you meet such a lord, if you have a slightly different heart, life will be difficult."
It's not good to be too shrewd, who knows when he will be counted.
