Cheng Jing was sometimes confused and didn't know what Jiang Pengji was thinking.
Xu Ke now lacks both status and merit, but he only lacks the reputation that can deter Xiao Xiao.
Just like the question Wei Ci just asked -
Xu Ke has always been loyal to Jiang Pengji, but Jiang Pengji has not made him famous in the front line all these years. Will he complain
If it was 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 was very fascinated, and Cheng Jing, as an outsider, was not easy to talk about.
Wei Ci hesitated and couldn't help but whisper, "...But... Ci thought that with Xu Ke's temperament, he shouldn't be content with the back... Even if it doesn't reach the level of resentment, there should be dissatisfaction in his heart. This is human nature."
Past life experience also proves this.
Xu Ke treats the old master's kindness with a firm heart.
No matter how good His Majesty was to him later, Xu Ke still secretly plotted a mutiny, besieging His Majesty in the steep mountains and forcing her into a desperate situation. Even if the generals reacted and came to save them later, they all thought that His Majesty had died because Xu Ke was dormant too deep!
Of course, in the end, His Majesty killed all the soldiers and horses in ambush and sat silent on the sea of blood and corpses.
She killed Xu Ke with her own hands and cut off his head.
Why was Xu Ke so obsessed with his old master that he even gave up his great future
It's not just because the old master appeared at the time, he cultivated him vigorously, but also gave Xu Ke a heavy responsibility to get out of the slump.
Xu Ke valued fame very much.
This has not changed in the past and present.
Wei Ci didn't suspect him at first. After all, Xu Ke took care of the rear with trepidation over the years and worked hard for the lord. Who was full and suspected him? It wasn't until the words of the lord before departure that Wei Ci realized that things might be more serious than he thought.
He couldn't help overturning all the original guesses and turning everyone into the target of suspicion.
On this basis, he asked himself a question—
If these people are going to defect, who is most likely to take control without causing chaos
It can't be Qi Guanrang, it can't be Yang Si, it can't be Feng Zhen, it can't be Han Yu, it can't be Fu Wang, it can't be Li Yun, it can't be Jiang Nongqin... These are all important ministers of the lord, in a certain way Had a great performance, but couldn't do it. Only Xu Ke - only Xu Ke has this ability, seemingly inconspicuous but controlling all lifelines. Even if the lord suddenly died suddenly, as long as Xu Ke did not fall, the foundation of the entire power group would not collapse. Whoever he supports can stand firm.
From this point of view, Xu Ke is the most suspicious.
but-
Wei Ci couldn't think of the iron evidence that Xu Ke was a suspect.
He has no reason to betray!
If it was because he didn't have the chance to make a name for himself or to stand in front of prominent people, wouldn't he just mention it to the lord
Will the Lord be stingy with so many opportunities
Will she ignore the will of the courtier and forcibly imprison the other party in a field so that he can't develop
how is this possible
At that time, Han Yu was Xu Pei's first advisor, and he could send troops to fight anything, but it was more suitable for legislation and writing.
When the lord supported him in this direction, he also carefully asked Han Yu's opinion, and Han Yu's activity in front of the battle was gradually reduced. But he really wants to go to the front line, and the lord will not refute his request. Han Yu is still like this, let alone Xu Ke
Wei Ci was very conflicted in her heart.
Jiang Pengji was in danger at this time. He couldn't restrain his worries, but he had to restrain himself from being suspicious of everyone.
The more you can't restrain your doubts, the more suspicious you are, the more suspicious you are.
Cheng Jing saw that Wei Ci's eyebrows were full of sadness, and asked, "You mentioned this suddenly, but Xu Ke is wrong?"
Wei Ci said with a wry smile, "Maybe I'm being suspicious."
There are contradictions and inconsistencies in Xu Ke, but it is not enough to explain the betrayal of the other party.
Random speculation without evidence, if Xu Ke found out, their relationship would be completely broken, and they would no longer communicate with each other.
Cheng Jing said, "It's not necessarily 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 to people's hearts. Will she find out what Xu Ke is missing? According to her temperament, how can she tolerate such grievances for her subordinates? She has considered everyone one by one. Reason will skip over Xu Ke, who should not be ignored the most."
Wei Ci's heart skipped a beat, and her hand on her lap trembled slightly.
Cheng Jing shook his head and said, "But as you said, there is no evidence or proof of this matter, and no matter how you guess it, it seems like we are both suspicious."
The real solution is to wait for the moment when the mystery is revealed.
"Zi Xiao, is something big going to happen recently?"
Wei Ci raised her head and collided with her brother's eyes. In an instant, she felt as though she was being seen by him, and all the secrets in her heart were exposed in front of others.
He rolled his eyes unnaturally, "No..."
"If it's really nothing, depending on your temperament, how can you be thinking nonsense, even an important minister like Xu Ke doubts it?"
Not everyone is as broad-minded as the sea.
Some bottom lines are even more untouchable. Once touched, it will offend people to death.
Wei Ci would not fail to understand this.
The only possibility is that he found something, which is why he is troubled and sad.
Wei Ci still shook his head, not saying a word more to Ken.
He almost forgot his senior brother's ability to understand people's hearts and clichés, and it was a mistake to choose to talk to him today.
Cheng Jing said, "If you really doubt it, don't take it lightly."
Before leaving, Cheng Jing raised his hand and tapped Wei Ci's shoulder, encouraging him in a low voice.
Compared with Xu Ke, he trusts his younger brother more.
Wei Ci suspected that there was something wrong with Xu Ke, and there must be some unexplainable reason.
"Have the things been delivered?"
Mr. Yuanjing was sitting under the porch and helping his wife curl her hair. Hearing the eldest apprentice coming back, he raised his head and asked a question.
"Well, it was delivered."
"Look at your expression, you seem embarrassed, but something happened to your junior brother?"
Cheng Jing didn't want to reveal more about what Wei Ci said, but just said, "I learned about astronomical phenomena from the teacher recently, and I have a hidden understanding."
"Huh? Do you have any experience, let's hear it?"
Cheng Jing pondered, "Jiang Jun's road to becoming emperor may not be very smooth."
Mr. Yuanjing nodded and praised, "It looks like you have learned well."
The wife was angrier, "What did you two say outrageous and outrageous?"
Mr. Yuanjing sighed, "It's just that there are some twists and turns, and it's not that the gutter capsizes. How can this be considered a great treason?"
The wife snorted, snatched the ball of wool that he had rolled up, got up and went to the back kitchen to see how the meal was done, leaving room for them.
"Teacher, what do you mean..."
Mr. Yuanjing said, "Emperor is indeed facing a slaughter situation, but you should always believe in others. After all, he is the son of destiny."
Cheng Jing: "Since this is the case, why didn't Master warn Jiang Jun and let him make preparations earlier?"
Mr. Yuanjing pouted, "Jiang Jun also set up the killing, just to remind her of what to do when the tigers and wolves enter the game?"
Cheng Jing: "..."
"Suddenly I regret supporting your brothers and sisters to enter office. When you meet such a master, if you have a little bit of disagreement, it will be a difficult day."
It's not good to be too shrewd, the ghost knows when it will be calculated.
