[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

When Jiao Shizhi bandaged most of the wounds by himself, half an hour had passed since the battle. Although he was good at martial arts, he was a rookie on the battlefield. Anything could happen on the battlefield. He was just a rookie. A lot is also normal.

The small wounds on the body are easy to treat, but the ones on the back are more difficult.Enduring the dense pain, Jiao Shizhi turned his back and stood in front of the bronze mirror. He could barely see a wound behind him that spanned most of his back. It was not very deep, but it was long, and it was still oozing blood.In this case, Jiao Shizhi had no way to give himself medicine.

He sighed, and when he was about to get dressed and go outside to call someone in, Zhu Houzhao pushed the door open and saw Jiao Shizhi who was naked to the waist.He stared coldly, turned around the room, especially stayed for a long time on the mess beside the bed and the water stains inside, and then slowly walked to Jiao Shizhi's side.

He knelt down to look at him, his gaze stayed on Jiao Shizhi's face for a long time, until Jiao Shizhi wanted to turn his head away in embarrassment, but Emperor Zhengde grabbed his neck and gnawed on him.

This kind of kiss was not gentle, with severe pain and fear, mixed with dissatisfaction and worry, full of anger swept his tongue.Jiao Shizhi put one hand on Zhu Houzhao's shoulder, pushing him hard.

Zhu Houzhao's other hand gently but firmly pressed on Jiao Shizhi's outstretched hand, and the hand around his neck was kneading his ear base.Jiao Shizhi's ears were already sensitive, and after being trampled by Zhu Houzhao a few times, they instantly turned red, and he subconsciously opened his mouth, "Your Majesty, don't..."

This is the disadvantage of innocent ignorance.

Emperor Zhengde smiled lightly against Jiao Shizhi's mouth, and then the tip of his tongue slid across Jiao Shizhi's lips, attacking the city and conquering the territory at once, causing Jiao Shizhi to retreat steadily.The sensitive upper cavity that had never been touched was teased again and again, dancing with the tip of the other's bewildered tongue, which made the corners of Jiao Shizhi's eyes turn red, showing a bit of wet charm.

"emperor!"

Just after Zhu Houzhao finally let go, Jiao Shizhi yelled angrily, but was interrupted by Zhu Houzhao's next actions.He wiped Jiao Shizhi's wet and slightly swollen lips with his fingers again and again, and said in a low voice, "It's good that you're fine."

The voice is steady, but the fingertips are trembling.

All the words that I wanted to say fell silent at this moment.

Jiao Shizhi naturally knew why the emperor was like this, the scene on the battlefield just now was still vivid in his mind, and the wounds on his body were also clearly exposed.Even if there are so many people around him protecting him, life and death are but an instant.

"It's what I should do to protect the emperor. Why should the emperor be angry? There are many people around me protecting me, and nothing will happen to me." He took the initiative to pull Zhu Houzhao's wrist, and then held it, his eyes full of seriousness.

Zhu Houzhao shook his head, "You know how important you are to me. If something happened to you, do you think I will be a very calm person? King Ning is like this, let alone me?" He looked deeply at Jiao Shizhi His eyebrows and eyes seemed to be drawn little by little in his heart, "I just hope you are well, okay?"

"……it is good."

"I'll help you with the medicine." Zhu Houzhao took the medicine bottle from Jiao Shizhi's hand and said softly.

Jiao Shizhi felt the weight of his words, and his hesitant attitude instantly softened. He obediently took the medicine bottle in his hand, and was pushed by Zhu Houzhao to sit down on the chair.

"Your Majesty, what's the situation outside?" Even so, Jiao Shizhi still felt the atmosphere was weird and asked uncomfortably.

Standing behind Jiao Shizhi, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Jiao Shizhi's naked back, stopping at every wound, with burning pain, and said casually: "We have 370 casualties, There are 560 people from Zhu Chenhao's side, and there are still some prisoners of war left, and they are all locked up now."

Jiao Shizhi seemed to be able to feel Zhu Houzhao's gaze, and the expression on his face became more and more uncomfortable. At this moment, there was a warm touch on his back, and Jiao Shizhi trembled slightly, only to realize that it was the emperor's finger.

Zhu Houzhao rubbed along the edge of the wound, then took a finger of plaster from the medicine bottle, and applied it little by little, "Chen Chuming's words are not wrong, Zhu Chenhao is indeed not good at water warfare. The soldiers on the shore are pretty good, but not in the water."

"Your Majesty, King Ning has torn his face this time. He will definitely set off a rebellion after returning. What do you want?" Jiao Shizhi said.

"What else can I do? If others want this country, if I give it up, my father will know, and I'm afraid he will be angry." Emperor Zhengde seemed to be careless when he said this, but there was a strong sense of self-confidence in his words.

Jiao Shizhi smiled, "I've never doubted that."

Emperor Zhengde stretched out his hand and poked Jiao Shizhi's waist, watched him hide away ticklishly, and then said as if he realized that Jiao Shizhi couldn't see, "But this time King Ning made a mistake. He shouldn’t have acted like this. He didn’t know my identity, but he didn’t know after seeing the Fujian General Soldier? He finally gave the order, but it was because of me.”

Jiao Shizhi said, "King Ning's feeling seems to be because he knows that the emperor is here, so he rashly ordered the war."

Zhu Houzhao said incredulously: "Could it be that his father brought him into the palace when he was young, and then I bullied him? But I really don't have the impression, why do you hate me so much?"

Jiao Shizhi laughed, "Your Majesty thinks too much, maybe King Ning has a stronger nature?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Shizhi, are you on my side or Zhu Chenhao's side, and I'm not happy that you are still talking nicely about him. "

Jiao Shizhi lowered his head and chuckled twice, and said, "Yes, your majesty is too self-deprecating. Naturally, you are envied by King Ning, and that's why you acted like this."

"It's useless to say nice things about me, I'm angry when I see you now." Zhu Houzhao said, turned around and sat down in front of Jiao Shizhi, his face really didn't look very good.

Jiao Shizhi lowered his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Houzhao's fingers. The palms of those hands had always carried firm strength, but just now they trembled slightly.Jiao Shizhi could not ignore this point, nor could he forget this point.

Although Zhu Houzhao glared at Jiao Shizhi a few times, he didn't continue to entangle, talking about the previous topic, "If it wasn't for the encounter with Chen Chuming on the southern tour, maybe we would not have known that there was such a thing as King Ning. King Ning's preparations could not be completed in one day, and it may even take a longer time. During such a long period of time, no one in the Jiangxi official circles found out, and during so many sweeps, they did not waver at all. King's foundation, this proves that King Ning's ability is at least not a mediocre person."

Jiao Shizhi recalled what he had thought before, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, when I went home for the funeral, I once saw King Ning near my hometown. At that time, he had only one attendant with him, and he didn't know where he was going."

Zhu Houzhao touched his chin and muttered to himself, "When you returned to your hometown for the funeral, wasn't it six years ago? I remember that he inherited the throne of King Ning in the 12th year of Hongzhi. , it’s not surprising that it can be hidden so deeply.”

Jiao Shizhi frowned and thought carefully, "Your Majesty, what do you mean, King Ning's actions are reckless this time?"

Zhu Houzhao sneered, and put the medicine bottle on the table casually, "It's not just recklessness, it's just that he has no brains. When the Fujian General Soldier appeared, he should have left. We have no evidence of his rebellion. We only have Chen Chuming. We There are reinforcements behind him, and he can't really do anything to us. At this time, he should retreat as soon as possible, and then make a quick decision. In the end, he actually fought against the navy in a territory that he is not good at. Isn't this obviously cheating himself?"

A guess flashed in Jiao Shizhi's mind, he looked up at the emperor, saw that the emperor was looking at him, he said hesitantly: "Could it be that the emperor is suspicious, he just..."

"It's not doubt." Zhu Houzhao said, he twisted Jiao Shizhi's loose hair in front of his body, rubbed it with his fingertips, and said softly, "I'm sure, it's because of his indulgence, and secondly, it's because of me."

King Ning ran for thousands of miles, led people to follow him, and said without hesitation in front of everyone that he was looking for his lover; after confirming the existence of Emperor Zhengde on board, he went straight to attack. Such a move may be reckless, but he also understands This made Zhu Houzhao know his purpose.

"Isn't he afraid that the emperor will threaten him with his capacity?" Jiao Shi said subconsciously, and just after finishing speaking, Zhu Houzhao tapped his forehead affectionately, and said angrily, "Why, in your heart, I am such an opportunistic person? "

Jiao Shizhi repeatedly begged for mercy, but Zhu Houzhao glared at him several times.

"He brought so many people, so he was determined to win. He didn't know my identity at the time, but he dared to do this after he found out... He must be sure that I would not do this." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Jiao Shi body.

Jiao Shizhi's reaction was not slow, "He knows the relationship between Qingrong and me."

Chen Chuming is Jiao Shizhi's good friend. If Emperor Zhengde really valued Jiao Shizhi, it's really hard to say whether he would use Chen Chuming to blackmail him.After all, if Jiao Shizhi was asked now if he would agree to such a thing, he would not be able to answer for a while.

From the emperor's point of view, he should naturally think about the emperor, but Chen Chuming is his good friend. If he is asked to blackmail King Ning, it is not in line with his morality. This...

Zhu Houzhao squatted down, stretched out his hand to rub Jiao Shizhi's tightly furrowed brows, and said with a smile, "Since you know I'm not such a person, why do you need to worry?"

"Your Majesty..." Jiao Shizhi hesitated to speak.

In his heart, in a sense, Emperor Zhengde was indeed an unscrupulous person, and it would not be surprising if such behavior was really committed.If the emperor changed his strategy because of him and caused some bad consequences, he would really be to blame.

"Don't think too much about it. Although Zhu Chenhao's rebellion is indeed a major event. However, Chen Chuming resisted many times and even fled for it. I will not forget it. If it weren't for him, maybe when Zhu Chenhao really rose up, then Only then will there be greater losses. Don’t think about this matter, I have already arranged the things that need to be dealt with, and now I will go to Fujian first.” Zhu Houzhao said gently.

In the end, Jiao Shizhi didn't say anything.

After talking about this matter, Jiao Shizhi's mood relaxed a little, and he felt chilly all over his body, and then he remembered that he was still naked from the upper body, and was immediately embarrassed.

He stood up and said with a little shame: "Your Majesty, I am not well-groomed. Go and rest for a while before talking to the Emperor." Then a warm and cool body leaned forward.

Zhu Hou took care of the wound on Jiao Shizhi's back, and didn't pull him into his arms recklessly, but his arms wrapped around Jiao Shizhi first, not letting him leave, "Shizhi, we've finished the business." , let’s talk about our own affairs.”

Jiao Shizhi suddenly felt his hairs stand on end, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, isn't the matter already finished?" Didn't the matter of his rash advance just now... finished him?

Zhu Hou chuckled in his ear, and the low vibration reached Jiao Shizhi's ear, numb, "Shizhi, I just said that just now, the real punishment is yet to come, you Do you really think this is the end of the matter?"

Jiao Shizhi's gentle face just changed like this, it's fine for the emperor to lean into his ear and talk, the whole person is still blowing into his ear, the soft air passing by his ear will always bring A burst of soma.At first Jiao Shizhi didn't dare to struggle, but now he has exerted a lot of strength.

Zhu Houzhao pulled the person back cleverly, and Jiao Shizhi leaned his back into Zhu Houzhao's arms. The silky touch behind his eyes made Jiao Shizhi embarrassed, and Zhu Houzhao's hands in front of him were around his waist, One hand slid around Jiao Shizhi's waist dishonestly, and the emperor's soft words were heard beside his ears, "If you don't let Shizhi have a longer memory, Shizhi may not be able to be honest."

Jiao Shizhi wants to cry but has no tears. Your Majesty, can you speak well?

……

In August of the fifth year of Zhengde, King Ning rose up, issued a list and reprimanded Emperor Zhengde for 15 crimes, and established his own title, with [-] people.Taking Jiangxi as a base, they captured several cities one after another.

Fortunately, Emperor Zhengde had expected it a long time ago, and deployed a backhand to withstand King Ning's attack when he attacked the third city.The governor of Jiangxi counterattacked temporarily, holding on to King Ning's deployment tightly behind him.However, only three days later, the governor of Jiangxi was assassinated. King Ning regrouped and divided his troops into two groups.

Why did Emperor Zhengde happen to be known by King Ning at this time?

However, before that, even when Chen Chuming and Jiao Shizhi met for the first time, Emperor Zhengde sent someone to send news back to Beijing to make the cabinet ready, and even sent Jin Yiwei to make arrangements. If there is any rash move, immediately notify All the governors all the way north.

Just as King Ning was pressing on, the army of the imperial court arrived in time and blocked King Ning's steps in Zhejiang, and the two sides fell into a stalemate for the time being.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao and Jiao Shizhi were in the ranks of the Fujian General Army, facing harassment from King Ning from time to time.

After all, occupying the city and attacking the capital is also an important key. King Ning may be looking forward to killing Zhu Houzhao, but most of his troops are rationally placed in the north, and the troops sent to attack the south are less. completely able to resist.

Jiao Shizhi stood on the boat and looked at the mighty military ship, and said to Li Dongyang who was standing on the left: "Old Li Ge, it's so noisy outside, why did you come out?"

Ever since the battle broke out at the junction of Jiangxi that day, the elders were more or less frightened, and they have been recovering from illness during this time.Li Dongyang was not because of this, but at the beginning of the war, he accidentally fell into the water. Although he was rescued in time, he also suffered from typhoid fever, and he couldn't get up until today.

Li Dongyang said: "It's just a small problem. Don't stay in the house if you can get out of bed. How is the current situation, where is the emperor?" During the few days when he was ill, Zhu Houzhao made him feel at ease and recuperated, and refused to follow anything. He said.After all, Li Dongyang is not young anymore, and his body is still important.

Jiao Shizhi said: "King Ning's army is now in Zhejiang, and the court's army has stopped his castration, but he divided his troops into two groups and sent a capable team to kill the emperor here. The few offensives so far They were all blocked."

Li Dongyang frowned, "Although it is very important to capture the capital, if something happens to the emperor, it will be more beneficial to his ambition. King Ning will not give up." Jiao Shizhi deeply felt the same way. Something could have happened.

"The emperor is discussing affairs inside now, and the Fujian general is also inside. Does Mr. Li Ge want to go in?" Jiao Shizhi pointed to the cabin on the left and said.

Li Dongyang shook his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the setting sun, and said a little confused: "Since the military and government are separated, I won't go in. The strategy of the emperor these few times is very good, obviously we underestimated the emperor before."

Beforehand, Li Dongyang didn't know that the emperor had contacted Fujian General Soldier. It wasn't until later when he was recuperating in bed that Li Dongyang knew what kind of tricks the emperor was playing in the gourd. However, after knowing it, Li Dongyang felt happy.Although the emperor gambled a bit too much this time, it was still a good thing.Now King Ning has revolted, but he was forced by the emperor to do it impromptu. Naturally, it is smoother than Jing Mimi's doing it. If it is really found out after a few years, it will be a big loss.

Jiao Shizhi didn't know what Li Dongyang was thinking. After seeing Li Gelao back to his room, he stood on the ship's plank for a while, and then walked back with his sword in his hand. At this time, the emperor should have discussed it. alright.

As Jiao Shizhi thought about it, before he reached the door, he saw a big man in military armor coming out of it. Jiao Shizhi quickly saluted upon seeing this.The man looked solemn, nodded at Jiao Shizhi, and then walked out. Emperor Zhengde's voice came from inside, "Is it Shizhi? Come in quickly."

Hearing the emperor's words, Jiao Shizhi turned around and entered the room.

When Jiao Shizhi entered, Zhu Houzhao was the only one in the room. He was standing by the window looking at the scenery outside the house, and only turned his head when he heard footsteps behind him.Jiao Shizhi stopped at a distance of five steps away from Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and said aggrievedly, "Why does Shizhi ignore me?"

Jiao Shizhi said seriously: "The emperor is wrong, this is the reasonable distance we should have."

During this period of time, Jiao Shizhi really didn't want to get close to the emperor.The so-called punishment of Emperor Zhengde two days ago made Jiao Shizhi feel flushed and ashamed even thinking about it now. He wished he could just throw away that memory and never think about it again.However, the other party involved didn't have such thoughts at all. Instead, he often pulled Jiao Shizhi by his side these days, so that he didn't even have time to calm himself down.

Zhu Houzhao flattened his mouth, but his eyes were shining brightly, with a faint smile, "Shizhi's words hurt my heart. After so long, you still want to keep a distance from me? How can you do me wrong? Woolen cloth?"

Jiao Shizhi: ...

The emperor looked like Jiao Shizhi had abandoned him, which made Jiao Shizhi shudder, and couldn't bear to look at it again. It really ruined the image of the emperor, but Emperor Zhengde never tired of it.

When Jiao Shizhi blushed and stared at Zhu Houzhao, he restrained himself, pretending to be serious and said: "Although Zhu Chenhao is divided into two groups, I suspect that he is not in Zhejiang, but in ours." side."

Jiao Shizhi has long been familiar with the emperor's unrestrained appearance, and he took up the topic of the emperor smoothly, "Your majesty, if this is the case, does it mean that King Ning is bound to win the emperor? Comparing the two, maybe There is no difference." Whether it is attacking the capital or killing Emperor Zhengde, each has its own advantages, but in comparison, Emperor Zhengde will be more important.After all, once the emperor died, the real group of dragons would have no leader.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "You are right. Although there are many troops in Zhejiang on the surface, most people would think that Zhu Chenhao will definitely guard there. However, there are various signs during this period that Zhejiang is stalemate. Maybe King Ning did it on purpose."

"He's waiting for an opportunity." Jiao Shizhi suddenly realized.

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Yes, he is waiting for an opportunity, so he is not in a hurry to move at all. In my opinion, the reason why the battle in Zhejiang is stalemate is entirely because of his holding back."

"If I die, I'm afraid it's the best chance."

"Your Majesty, although the Fujian Navy only has [-] troops, there are more than [-] people including the team transferred by the Fujian Governor. How can King Ning guarantee that he can attack you? Does he have another plan?" Jiao Shizhi wrinkled frowning.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said softly: "Have you forgotten how many people he ambushed by my side?"

Jiao Shizhi was startled suddenly, and suddenly raised his head to meet Zhu Houzhao's gaze, "Your Majesty! You must not!"

"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won't catch the cubs. Shizhi should understand this truth." Zhu Houzhao smiled easily, not taking this matter to heart at all.But Jiao Shizhi was different, he walked around the room a little anxiously, "Your Majesty, you are not sure now, if something really happens, then..."

"Appropriately, there is no truth or falsehood, only success or failure. Just take a look and see whether it is me who is better than him, or he is better. You know, he is one game ahead now... "At the end of the sentence, Zhu Houzhao was a little bit like muttering to himself, but Jiao Shizhi couldn't hear clearly, so he subconsciously asked, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty?"

"It's nothing." Facing Jiao Shizhi's question, Zhu Houzhao showed a bright smile.

Jiao Shizhi shook silently, feeling that the emperor's expression didn't look like he was okay at all.

Zhu Houzhao is grinding his teeth hard in his heart. Shizhi still avoids his emotions until today, but King Ning has boldly shown his love in front of outsiders. Even though his resistance is much smaller, it hurts Zhengde deeply. The emperor's heart that was just about to move came out in the same vein, and he hadn't done what King Ning had accomplished? !

I can't stand it!

His eyes fell on the ignorant Jiao Shizhi, it didn't matter, he would lay down the road that should be paved step by step until the day when Shizhi was unavoidable.

……

After dinner in the evening, after talking to Zhu Houzhao, Jiao Shizhi went to look for Chen Chuming. Ever since King Ning's rebellion, Chen Chuming had been staying in the room, even if Emperor Zhengde didn't lock him up. Still so, Jiao Shizhi was a little worried about him.

"Shizhi, why are you here?" A small candle was lit in Chen Chuming's room, and he was sitting at the table in a daze. If Jiao Shizhi hadn't made it louder when he opened the door on purpose, he wouldn't have reacted at all.

Jiao Shizhi said helplessly: "I stood outside and knocked on the door for a long time and you didn't respond. Why do you think I came here?" Chen Chuming was a little ashamed by his words, and he covered his face weakly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't seem to be of much help during this time." Chen Chuming said.He naturally knew the busyness outside during this time, including Jiao Shizhi's hasty coming and going and the tiredness between his brows and eyes. News of King Ning's rebellion came one after another. Jiao Shizhi didn't intend to hide it from him, so he knew A lot of things.

Such a situation was what he was most afraid of, but it still happened.

"You're wrong." Jiao Shizhi lit a few candles again to make the room brighter, and then sat down opposite Chen Chuming, "If it wasn't for you this time, I wouldn't have been able to inform the capital in time. Get organized. You've been a great help."

Chen Chuming said wearily: "Shizhi, you don't need to comfort me. If it weren't for the emperor's kindness, others would have killed me. Although you didn't say it, I also know that if it wasn't for me, the whereabouts of the emperor would not be there at all." If I could be discovered, there would be no follow-up chase, I really deserve to die!" The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and at the end his face turned red, but he was so angry at himself.

Jiao Shizhi comforted: "Qing Rong, I told you before that the emperor will never regret what he has done, no matter how worried you are, since the matter has already happened, it is useless to recall the past. What happened It can’t be changed, but the future can.”

Chen Chuming stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, and said in a low voice: "I can't even imagine my future. If the world knows that this happened because of me, I'm afraid it's either a sword or a spittle on my face. This is what I deserve. But my family..." At this point, Chen Chuming's eyes turned red.

Although it is said that the disaster will not affect the family, but under such circumstances, how can it not harm the fish in the pond?

Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips, but instead of Chen Chuming saying this again, he changed the topic, "Qingrong, in your opinion, what kind of person is King Ning?"

Chen Chuming was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "He is a very capable person. I don't know anything about officialdom, but I know that it is very difficult for officials and wealthy businessmen in a place to obey their orders." What's more, the prince of my court didn't have any obvious power. But when Jiangxi was flooded the year before last, he gave an order and donated 500 million taels continuously, and two-thirds of it was From a wealthy businessman, I think he is very powerful."

"But..." He blinked, looked at the empty air in front of him and said, "It seems that because of this, he is always holding his breath in his heart. I don't know why he is always like that, obviously life is very difficult now. Well, it always feels like he's been thinking about something."

It's just that he didn't expect that what he wanted to do turned out to be like this.

Jiao Shizhi said softly: "Look, it's not because of you that he planned to rebel, but he had such a plan in the first place. You also know this in your heart, right?"

Chen Chuming smiled wryly, "But I'm the trigger this time, right?"

Jiao Shizhi reached out and patted his shoulder, and said into his eyes: "Well, please. You re-join the army, and then go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."

Chen Chuming's somewhat sloppy focus instantly focused on Jiao Shizhi, and said eagerly, "Is it really possible? Shouldn't I be imprisoned now?"

Jiao Shizhi laughed loudly, looked at Chen Chuming and said, "Do you think you are imprisoned now?"

Chen Chuming touched his face in embarrassment.

Jiao Shizhi gradually restrained his expression, looked at Chen Chuming and said seriously: "Qingrong, this is your knot, and no one can help you untie it except yourself. I will send you back to the battlefield. If you return with glory after a bloody battle , I can ask the emperor to show you an extrajudicial favor without endangering my family. If you die because of this, although I am sad, I also think that the death is well deserved, and I will cover it up for you, do you think so?"

The gloomy look between Chen Chuming's brows finally dissipated a lot, and he showed a shy smile, "That's just right."

After coming out of Chen Chuming's room, Jiao Shizhi sighed lightly. He didn't know how to let him go, but if he really made him stay here all the time, his body and mind would be broken.

Although this matter was something Jiao Shizhi had in his mind, Emperor Zhengde brought it up with Jiao Shizhi first.

"Shizhi, I want Chen Chuming to return to the army, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I naturally agree, but don't you worry about letting him down..."

"What is there to worry about? If he has objections in his heart, he can jump into the sea and leave even on a boat. If he doesn't, he will be fine even if he dies in battle. Isn't worrying about it a waste of time?"

"I thank the emperor for his kindness."

"Hey, don't say such stereotypes. I wouldn't be so kind if it wasn't so rare to see a person of the same kind."

When Jiao Shizhi heard this at the beginning, he didn't know what to feel in his heart, facing the hot gaze of the emperor, he mumbled and dared not speak, and he calmed down after he came out.

Jiao Shizhi didn't know what would happen to Chen Chuming's future, but he could only wish him to be careful all the way, and that knots in his heart were easy to unravel, and that was all he could do for him.

……

At the end of August in Zhengde, it was suddenly heard that a plague broke out in Fujian, and it was fierce. In just a few people, hundreds of people in Fujian had fever and typhoid, which was daunting.

When King Ning received the report, he just chuckled and ignored it.

King Ning's side is calm and the wind is breezy, but the court's side is already going crazy.Ever since they knew that the emperor had taken Li Dongyang away, the whole news was blocked by the cabinet. Since then, they have been trembling day and night, for fear that bad news would come.

This master acted like this, which made the cabinet who responded to the matter regret endlessly. If they knew that the master would still let go at this age, how could they let someone out!

After two months of hard work, nothing happened, but the news from Jiangnan made them worry, and the emperor's secret letter made them tremble even more.More than a month later, what they were worried about became a reality. While negotiating with themselves according to the previous emperor's arrangement, the cabinet scolded the emperor countless times in their hearts.

When, when will the emperor be able to settle down!

Thinking about it, Liu Jian shook his head helplessly while signing the memorial.He was worried about his old partner in his heart, and he was running around outside with the emperor, wondering what happened to Li Dongyang.

At this time, Li Dongyang, who was missed, was sitting opposite Jiao Shizhi and sneezed several times. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't help himself. Who was missing him so much behind his back, and almost lost his old face.

Jiao Shizhi was very considerate, "Mr. Li Ge's injury is not healed yet, I heard that the medicine has been stopped? You still need to drink more medicine during this time."

Li Dongyang nodded, "Yes, it seems that we should drink for a few more days."

"Is Mr. Ge looking for me for something?" Seeing that Li Dongyang was still a little embarrassed, Jiao Shizhi took the initiative to take over the topic and asked.

Li Dongyang looked at the gentle eyebrows and eyes of the young man opposite, and asked seriously, "What do you think the odds of winning this battle are?"

Jiao Shizhi frowned, "Why does your lord ask me, that's beyond me."

Li Dongyang stroked his beard, smiled lightly and shook his head, "Among so many people, you are the closest to the emperor, you don't know, who else can know?"

Jiao Shizhi smiled wryly, "You can't say that. If you ask me what my chances of winning this battle are, I don't know."

"But if you ask me, can this battle be won?"

"I have only one answer, yes."

Jiao Shizhi said sternly.
