Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

"Good boy!" Guo Dalang laughed and praised, and said gently: "Your idea is very good. Once it is done, it will be a great achievement. I think that You Guanying was promoted to the position of governor by virtue of his achievements in building the Yanhe River."

"Mr. Guo, I respect you as an upright hero. Let's tell the truth today: making meritorious deeds comes second, and obeying the imperial decree is the most important thing." Rong Youtang said frankly, and analyzed helplessly: "Your Majesty has beat you openly and secretly several times, earnestly admonishing me. On the surface, I can only agree, but in fact I have broken my promise. Although His Majesty is kind, human patience is limited. I have been obedient and disobedient, and I can't blame him for being angry. It is considered a light sentence to blame and reprimand."

"Well, well, I can't really blame you."

Guo Da rubbed his palms, spread them out and hung them over the brazier to keep warm, and racked his brains to comfort him: "Ahem, didn't you say that in the play? The love doesn't know where it started, but it goes deeper and deeper. You and your cousin are in love with each other—— You are like-minded! Yes, you and your cousin share the same goals and interests, and it is normal to be closer, and it is not as difficult as His Highness the Seventh Prince, which is very good."

"Do you really think we are so good?" Rong Youtang's eyes lit up, and he asked sincerely.

"Okay, what's wrong?" Guo Da was open-minded, unrestrained, unrestrained, and serious; "My cousin has been mature since he was a child, rigid and unsmiling, just like a teacher in an academy, and none of his relatives and friends dare to fool him. In addition, he was in command of the Northwest early on. The army, shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending the territory, cannot be negligent. He fought bloody battles from birth to death, and treated others and himself more rigorously, even harshly. He was always busy with official duties. A few words are relaxation!" After a pause, Guo Da was worried, and sighed: "My cousin is so pitiful, he is bitter and tired, he is upright and strong by nature, he doesn't bother to ask for credit, and sometimes he is thankless."

"Indeed." Rong Youtang felt the same way, with a heavy heart, he blurted out: "The last time the eldest princess was killed—" he hurriedly paused, and vaguely said: "At that time, His Highness was in charge of supervising the funeral, so he lost a whole circle of weight from exhaustion."

"Hush, you must watch your mouth carefully, and don't reveal the top secret of the palace." Guo Da warned seriously.The case of the eldest princess was unknown to outsiders at the beginning, and it was in the fog, but the few families in the capital who were close to the royal family's in-laws gradually came to the senses after thinking about it a few times afterwards. They were shocked and apprehensive, and pretended not to know.

"Thank you, my lord, for your suggestion." Rong Youtang followed the good advice, immediately changed the subject, and sighed sincerely: "Looking at the descendants of the royal family, how many of them can compare with His Highness's self-discipline and diligence? But if someone else has such a background and title, how can they enjoy happiness and happiness?" Woolen cloth?"

Guo Da shook his head, and said distressedly: "I can see it in a hurry, and I often persuade him to relax and not to be too tight, but he always ignores the wind, probably because he is used to hard work, and he can't rest. Fortunately, he met you, fate is destined, You two hit it off, talk and laugh happily, cousin finally has some vigor, and no longer has a straight face all day." After speaking, he opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, wanted to add two more words, and then Sorry.

Looking at each other for a moment, Rong Youtang understood, and answered solemnly: "It's just that Yue Lao seems to be drunk and stumbled, and he actually pulled the red thread of a pair of men."

"Hahaha~"

Guo Da laughed loudly, slapped Rong Youtang on the arm, and scolded with a smile: "Hey, I'm just thinking about it in my mind, you said it yourself!"

"Although in the eyes of the world, we are unreasonable, but after all, it is Yuelao's intention. We cannot be disobeyed, let alone disobeyed. We can only make mistakes." Rong Youtang cherishes and is grateful, frankly, expressing every word: "I just endure I can't help but obey my heart."

tsk tsk!

Guo Da curled his lips and muttered softly: "Don't tell me these words, it's useless. You have to tell your cousin to make him happy. People who are recovering from injuries need love the most."

Rong Youtang smiled without saying a word, as if concentrating on warming the fire, turning his hands over and over, roasting the palms and the backs of his hands, the warmth crept up from his palms to his face, his eyes sparkled.

Guo Da raised his head and saw a handsome young man exuding pious and affectionate radiance. He was greatly stimulated and waved his hands decisively: "Come on, let's talk about business, let's talk about business!"

"Okay." Rong Youtang drank a cup of hot tea, the brazier was red and warm, and he warmed his whole body. He said solemnly: "There are obvious advantages and disadvantages. It is not good for me to stay in the capital. I have been transferred abroad for a few years On the one hand, a man should be self-improving and earn more achievements while he is young, on the other hand, he can relieve His Highness from worrying about the future."

"How sure are you that you will fight for release?" Guo Da asked with a frown.

"At least [-]%." Rong Youtang rubbed his nose, quite guilty, lowered his voice, and explained with a wry smile: "So far, His Majesty has reprimanded me twice, and the matter is only three, how can he be lenient next time? He may reprimand me directly Your Highness, when the time comes, both of them will be passive, and they can't afford to walk around. Why don't I take the initiative to ask for a transfer and seize the opportunity."

"Most local officials sharpen their heads and want to squeeze into the capital, but you are better off jumping out." Guo Da.

"It's just an expedient measure. How can a person not bow his head when he is under the eaves?" After being repeatedly beaten by the emperor, Rong Youtang had to face the situation soberly, and calmly analyzed it carefully: "At present, His Majesty is still recuperating, and the government is handed over to His Majesty. He and the Second Highness and several princes and elders handled it on their behalf. The situation in the capital is tense, and all officials are cautious in their words and deeds, lest they make mistakes. In fact, I have already caused a lot of trouble to Your Highness. Refer to His Royal Highness's book 'To indulge in masculinity is against ethics'. I might as well avoid it for a while, and strive to advance by retreating. The world is vast, a man is a man, why are you afraid of wandering into a foreign land?"

"Ambition, good!"

Guo Da slapped the boy on the shoulder heavily, and revealed in a low voice: "You expected it well. There are indeed some people who are plotting against my cousin, but in addition to the usual 'impatience, iron-fisted and cold-blooded', they also added doubts about Beiying's huge sum of money." The whereabouts of the expenses and the personal virtues of His Highness."

"It's ridiculous!"

Rong Youtang raised his eyebrows and scolded: "The scale of Beiying is huge, so the expenses are naturally high. Every transaction is detailed and clear, and the records can be checked. They actually questioned His Highness's character!"

Guo Da sneered, snorted and said: "Hmph, everything is despicable and dark in the eyes of a villain. Some people are not capable of seriousness, but they are best at fanning the flames and jumping up and down."

"Therefore, this matter cannot be delayed. It must be cut quickly, so as not to be deeply passive. If a person's morality is overwhelmed, his words will have no weight, and he will be unable to argue." Rong Youtang gritted his teeth and made up his mind again.

"But it will be released for at least two years, or even three to five years. If you are unlucky, you may be ten or eight years old. If you are unlucky, you may die of old age." Guo Da reminded bluntly.

Rong Youtang was stunned for a while, then nodded slightly: "I understand."

"Then are you still going?"

"There is no other way. I have to jump out of the predicament first, so that I can 'be clear to the onlookers'. Only when His Highness is in the capital can he let go. Although he never mentioned it, I believe that he must have been ridiculed or beaten by his relatives and friends." Rong Youtang sighed melancholy, pulled himself together, and begged: "Mr. Guo, I have confessed my worries one by one. If His Highness objects at that time, I beg you to help me persuade him."

Guo Da scratched his head and fell silent. He warmed his hands and began to drink tea. He thought to himself: Cousin values ​​love and righteousness, is stubborn by nature, and loves his sweetheart very much. Even if His Majesty, my grandmother and other relatives and friends put pressure on her in turn, my cousin will not let go, and will do everything possible to protect Brother Rong.It's just that it's so wrong, my grandmother doesn't care, just annoy His Majesty and it's over!

Who can withstand the wrath of the emperor?No matter how much you love each other, a marriage decree is enough to break up...

After thinking hard, Guo Da nodded his head in admiration, sat down with his knees clasped, and said with mixed feelings: "Brother Rong, in the past, I only thought of you as a young boy with outstanding literary talents, but I didn't expect you to be so talented." Insightful, such a mind, can be described as far-sighted, worthy of my cousin's appreciation!"

Rong Youtang was deeply saddened, but he didn't show it on his face, and said softly: "People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries. If you take a long-term view, you may be able to get along longer."

Will you and your cousin last forever?

Guo Da rolled his eyes, endured it, and asked, "Have you thought about the release?"

"Yes!" Rong Youtang's eyes were piercing, and he said with hope:

"I'm going to ask for a transfer to Hejian."

Guo Da didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked wonderingly, "Hey, you're going to have trouble with Hejian Province, right? You went to suppress the bandits, you went to investigate the case, and you still want to stay here?"

Rong Youtang nodded seriously: "Exactly."

"Hejian has been in turmoil since ancient times. There are troublesome people in the poor mountains and rivers, bandits and thieves are rampant, and the local government is corrupt and incompetent. It has been dealt with by the court one after another. It can be said that it is notorious and not a beautiful place. What do you think?"

"How can it be my turn to do a good job in a good place?" Rong Youtang asked back, very self-aware, and talked eloquently: "I stayed in Hejian for several months, and found that the place is really poor, the government is really incompetent, and the water bandits and bandits They can’t be chased and killed—but the ordinary people in Hejian are the same as other people in the world, they are diligent and law-abiding, and they yearn for a happy life with plenty of food and clothing. With the implementation of the policy of benefiting the country and the people, the life of ordinary people will be much better!"

"You..." Guo Da was quite surprised, hesitantly considering his words.

"The process must be difficult, but I'm not impulsive. I already have a feasible strategy, and I just need to try it." Rong Youtang smiled slyly, his brows and eyes were curved, energetic, and he raised his head: "Anyway, I'm young, and it's surprising that I can do it well." , It is expected that it will fail, and I am afraid!"

"Hahaha~" Guo Da laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh straight, and said happily, "Master Rong, you are a bit of a rascal."

Rong Youtang took pleasure in bitterness, patted his cheek, and said mockingly: "I'm thick-skinned, and I'm not afraid of making a fool of myself."

"A man should be thick-skinned, it's ugly to be shy and restrained!"

Guo Da grabbed Rong Youtang, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and promised righteously: "If my cousin objects, I will definitely help you!"

"Thank you." Rong Youtang cupped his hands upright.

after a while

"This king can clean it by himself."

"The wound is deep and long, and it took a lot of effort to stop the bleeding. I beg you to follow the doctor's advice and lie quietly for a few days!" Rong Youtang said earnestly.

Zhao Zeyong's eyes were warm, and he focused on the person who took care of him. He lay on his back patiently and asked curiously, "What are you talking about with Xiaoer? You can hear his laughter through several walls."

"Just chatting." Rong Youtang lowered his eyes and paused unnaturally.

"You want to be punished again for not reporting it?" Zhao Zeyong was keenly aware of the strangeness.

Rong Youtang raised his eyes, and the two of them looked at each other for a long while. After being defeated, he solemnly informed: "Let's talk about something important." He rolled up his sleeves and insisted on helping the other party wipe his body. Put on the hot handkerchief, bend down and untie the belt of the clothes.

"What's the big deal?" Zhao Zeyong asked doubtfully.

Rong Youtang comforted: "Be calm and don't be impatient, I will tell you after I think it over."

"Brain brainstorming. Come and listen to what you said, and discuss together." Zhao Zeyong urged.

"No hurry, let me think about it again." Rong Youtang politely refused, carefully unbuttoned the other party's coat and inner coat, and wiped it with a handkerchief.

Zhao Zeyong is tall and strong, he has practiced martial arts all the year round, his chest is broad and strong, which is just right, and he is very masculine and heroic.He was worried, frowned and asked: "What's the matter?"

"Anyway, don't tell me before I make up my mind, and don't ask Mr. Guo, he promised to keep it secret." Rong Youtang reminded.This was the first time he took care of the injured King Qing, and his movements were awkward and awkward, because before they were intimate, they were hidden under the bed.

"Oh?" Zhao Zeyong was naturally dissatisfied.

The bed was built on the kang, and the two were integrated into one, creating a warm feeling, Rong Youtang blushed from the heat, after wiping his upper body, he found out the clean underwear, but he needed the cooperation of the other party.

"Your Highness, turn over." Rong Youtang reminded that the clothes were only worn with one sleeve.

Zhao Zeyong remained motionless, his eyes were sharp, and his face was slightly pale due to excessive blood loss, but his eyes were piercing and oppressive. He grabbed the clean underwear, pulled him to his side, and asked in a low voice: "Today, father Did the emperor blame you again?"

Rong Youtang forced a smile: "Where, he is very good, he was promoted to me, and he is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy."

"That's what you deserve." Zhao Zeyong couldn't hide his admiration, he felt very guilty, and explained earnestly: "It just so happened that the old seven got into trouble, and Beiying really couldn't get away, so I wronged you. Don't be afraid, just say it straight, father!" Did you make any unreasonable demands?"
