It has been nearly a hundred years since the rise of the Jin Kingdom. The original site of Shangjing City was originally a barren grassland, and the imperial city was once under construction. It took more than forty years to reach its current scale.

The Dashun Gate at the southern end of the imperial city is the main entrance through which officials entered the court, and inside it was the former court, where the Dazheng, Xingtai, and Chongning halls were the meeting places.Going inside again is the inner court.

Since it was a reception banquet, Yue Ling thought that even if it was a private banquet, it was inconvenient to hold it outside the court, and it might not necessarily be held in Emperor Jin's bedroom!Unexpectedly, Zong Min said, it is precisely like this that he shows his intimacy!The so-called guest does what the host does, and Yue Ling has no choice but to follow it.

After drinking for three rounds, it's already the third watch. I've worked hard all the way, but I feel even more tired now. Seeing that the man is always talking about the past and not talking about business, I want to let him go out of the palace.

Zong Min looked frustrated: "Is it because my brother's poor hospitality and boring words made me bored?"

Yue Ling told the truth.

But Zong Min said: "The gate of the palace is closed today, and the post house is not where you should stay, so let's rest in the palace tonight!"

Yue Ling was stunned: "This is impolite!"

Zong Min laughed and said, "Isn't it the etiquette that the emperor lives in the palace?"

Yue Ling was speechless for a moment.

He also heard that human said: "It's just that I didn't expect that brother will arrive in Beijing today, and I didn't make preparations early, so tonight, I wronged my brother to rest here with my brother for a while!"

Yue Ling was startled again, but the man took advantage of the gap and forced him into the room.

It's all right to live together in one palace, but lying on the same couch, Yue Ling really can't let it go, so he said: "What kind of etiquette is this?"

The man smiled calmly: "I heard that in order to show brotherly love and brotherhood, Xuanzong ordered people to make a big quilt so that the five brothers could sleep together on the same couch! You and I are brothers, and we are like brothers, so we cover one quilt and sleep together. A couch, why not?"

Yue Ling smiled bitterly: "You are familiar with history! But since this is the case, there is one thing I don't know!"

Zong Min said: "Brother, just say it!"

Yue Ling took two steps away: "Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties established the alliance first, and you and I are brothers, why are you now pushing Youyun and claiming our land? Isn't this a disagreement?!" He vowed firmly, Why don't you go with the flow!

Zong Min pondered for a while, waved away the only two palace servants in the room, and said with a sneer: "Since brother said this, I also have one thing that I don't understand. I hope you can clear up your doubts!"

Looking at the unpredictable expression on his face, Yue Ling felt a little bit of ups and downs in his heart, wondering what he would do to prevaricate.

"Brother said that I don't agree with my heart, but are you really sincere to me? If that's the case, when I sent an envoy to the south, why didn't you even give me a royal portrait?"

Yue Ling was taken aback, this taught Nangong Ji exactly what he expected, he was really worried about it!After thinking for a while, he said: "You blame Brother Yu for rejecting your request, but have you ever thought about Brother Yu? Although your request is small, it is unprecedented! You should know that the Southern Dynasty established the country with etiquette, and everything must be done according to etiquette. First of all, a mere portrait is nothing to be sympathetic to, but it is hard to agree with everyone! If I insisted on agreeing to you, how should the subordinates, even the people of the world, talk about it?"

Zong Min flicked his sleeves as if disdainful: "You and I treat each other with sincerity, no matter what he talks about!"

Yue Ling shook his head: "This statement is wrong! Common people are also afraid of rumors, let alone you and me?! Let's say, throughout the ages, there are not a few people who ruin their country and lose their families because of rudeness and refusal!"

Zong Min said quietly: "So, brother, is he giving up his friendship and taking the country?!"

Having said this, Yue Ling said calmly: "Only when the family and the country exist, can the friendship last forever!"

Zong Min was silent when he heard the words, as if he was pondering his words carefully.After a while, Fang said: "I have heard that you have a lot of talents in the Southern Dynasty. In the past, your envoy Yang Zhen fought in the court with my court officials. His eloquence has been taught by my younger brother. Now I heard that my brother's words are even more impeccable! It really is true." Get close to vermilion and be red!"

Yue Ling smiled shallowly: "My dear brother, it's absurd! In fact, the private affairs between you and me don't need to be brought up in the court. If you miss the old love, why don't you come to the south to see it, or it's like this, it's not good!"

Zong Min said embarrassingly, "It's really not easy to invite brother to go north!"

Yue Ling smiled wryly in his heart, this statement is true!But he said: "Now that I am here, about You Yun, can you tell me clearly, how can I withdraw my troops?"

Zong Min scratched his head like a childish child at the moment, and said: "I was able to ascend the throne because of my brother's help. This kindness should not be owed. However, my brother is afraid of outside discussions, so why not my brother?! I think you have already I know that the main battle this time is the Prime Minister of the North --- also my mother's uncle, who has contributed to my support at the beginning! Now it is not an exaggeration to say that he is in power! Therefore, his admonition , I can’t help it! Besides, the so-called achievements of thousands of years are nothing more than opening up territories, and your Southern Dynasty has a vast territory, with sixteen prefectures in a mere area, but it’s just a drop in the bucket, so I raised my hand and gave it to me. In this way, the two dynasties will be a hundred times better, and the Northern Prime Minister will lose the excuse to send troops, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Yue Ling shook his head: "That's wrong! The key to governing the country is to put the people at the forefront. If you are in trouble, how can you talk about the peace of the people? If the people are uneasy, the society will be uneasy. Even if you expand the territory, you may lose it overnight. Brother Don’t forget the lessons learned from the previous dynasty’s loss of the country and family! Besides, I cannot agree with what my brother said about the best of both worlds! The land of dark clouds is nothing more than a bullet, but after all, it is passed down from the ancestors. If it is lost in the hands of Brother Yu, then I will have What kind of face do you have to see your ancestors?! In other words, you are proud of gaining the land, and I am ashamed of losing it! If you really treat me with sincerity, you must think of this!"

At this point, Zong Min felt that he was determined not to cut off the land, and he was quite depressed at the moment, as if he said in a fit of anger: "However, since I said it, the army has moved, and now the land has not been taken, and the big profits have not been obtained. Wouldn't it be ridiculed by the people of the world if you want to tell me to put down the flags and drums and withdraw the troops in a slump?!"

Yue Ling said: "Northern Prime Minister wants to take my Youyun, but it is because of the taxation of the dozens of states. If this is the case, I will add you 30 to [-] yuan. In this way, you can avoid military disasters. You can also have an explanation, that is the real best of both worlds!"

Zong Min pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Brother already had a draft!" He bowed his head in silence for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I have a thought, I hit it off with my brother back then, and we have always admired each other. If you would like to stay with me, I will Then withdraw the troops immediately, and never mention the invasion of the south again!"

The words have been spoken, but Zong Min's heart is very uncertain, his eyes are still flickering when he looks at the person in front of him, as if he wants to see through his mind immediately, but he is a little timid, afraid that he will reject him directly, and even despise himself because of this .

Contrary to what he expected, Yue Ling appeared calm at this moment, and said: "If this is a joke, then let's just say it; but if not, I advise my virtuous brother to take it back! You must know that brother Yu is a light person, but if you provoke the two countries Fighting, not only will your eternal achievements be in vain, but you and I may become eternal sinners overnight!"

Hearing this, the man didn't know for a moment whether he was speechless or had other thoughts, but he lowered his eyes and remained silent.This invitation to Yue Lingbei was originally for his own selfishness, a temporary idea, as for the cause and effect, he didn't think about it at all!Zong Min had never thought about what purpose he wanted to achieve before tonight!And it is even more uncontrollable to say this at the moment, so it is reasonable to be rejected by others!However, he didn't want to give up easily, or because of his drunkenness, after hesitating for a while, he didn't know where his mind was stirred up, and he couldn't help but go forward and hug the man: "I have been with you for a long time. When we parted at the beginning, we have never seen each other again." I miss you every day, my brother’s words and smiles, every night appear in my dreams, can you bear to see me suffer from this lovesickness for a long time?”

Yue Ling turned his head slightly to avoid the burning smell of alcohol in that mouth!In fact, judging from the person's demeanor, even the tone of voice, he is very familiar with it: probably all the drunks (or people who use alcohol to pretend to be crazy) in the world are like this!

At the moment, he smiled: "Now my surroundings are not peaceful, and I am tired of defending this world. Since you have this intention, it is not impossible for me, but if I abandon my country and betray my family, you will still be sitting on this northern country." , but teach me how to deal with myself? In my opinion, if you have made up your mind, you should abandon this throne and follow me to hide in the mountains and forests, work in the wild, and don't care about worldly affairs, then you will do what I want!"

Yu Luo, seeing that the man didn't say a word, just hugged himself tightly, it seemed like a treasure that was so easy to get, and he could have it for a while longer!

However, Yue Ling was really tired, and it was not an option to just let it go, so he said: "It's almost dawn, what's the matter to discuss in the morning?"

Only then did the man raise his confused eyes, and reluctantly let go of his arms, but the next moment, he squeezed his hands tightly and brought him to the bed.

Although Yue Ling didn't refuse anymore, he just lay down except his coat.When I closed my eyes, I heard a rustling sound, and then fell silent again.Feeling uneasy, I opened my eyes again, only to see that person was sitting a few steps away and staring at me.

Once the four eyes met, the man scratched his head again, and said without thinking: "I think it's been a long time since I went out to hunt in the palace. Since my brother rarely comes from the north, I will ask the two prime ministers from the north and the south to accompany me on the hunt in two days." Houshan! I have always valued the brave, and I hope that my brother will send all the warriors to the battle. The Northern Prime Minister has always thought that the southerners are timid and vulnerable. If you can teach the Northern Prime Minister to impress you this time, there may be a turning point!"

The author has something to say:

The ancients are so tired of talking!In the next book, my old lady will definitely not write Gu Tan! ! !
