Famous all over the world

Jiang She finally forced himself to calm down, took the documents sent by the Ministry of War and read them carefully.She had to go through it again, and there must be no more mistakes, and then waited until the soldiers and generals gathered together to inspect it, and then set off for the north.

The night was getting darker, but she didn't feel tired at all, only when she was stretching her body, she suddenly heard light footsteps coming from outside the house, and she couldn't feel her heart trembled, holding her mind, and glanced at Dang Kou who was at hand.After a while, someone knocked on the door, and Jiang Yong's voice said softly: "Master, there is a son who wants to see you."

Jiang She breathed a sigh of relief but couldn't help being surprised, "Now?"

Jiang Yong said yes respectfully.

Jiang She frowned unknowingly, she still had to visit at this time, even if it was something important, she was neither in the mood nor the time, so she just said: "No see."

But Jiang Yong didn't back down, he said with hesitation in his tone, "I think it's best for the young master to meet you."

Jiang Yong is thoughtful, and he rarely insists on it. Jiang She thought for a while, finally buckled the scroll and stood up, only to see Jiang Yong holding a lantern with the cover down, and standing on one side, "What is it?" people?"

Jiang Yong lowered his head, still respectful and unhurried: "The young master will know when he sees it."

Knowing that he was prudent, Jiang She didn't ask any more questions, but only asked, "Where is he now?"

Jiang Yong said: "Master, please follow me." After that, he raised the lamp curtain and asked her to walk.

Jiang She closed the door and followed him all the way to the small hall in the front yard where he met guests.There was a person sitting in that hall with a cup of tea on the table at hand. He raised his head when he heard the sound of the door. When their eyes met, both of them seemed to be surprised for a moment. His attitude was very brisk, and his eyebrows and eyes became clearer. Jiang She couldn't help blurting out: "Suppress it?"

The man nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

Jiang She didn't dare to recognize each other at this time, after all, he hadn't seen each other for many years, "Is it really you?"

The man nodded again, still smiling, "It's me."

Jiang Yong has quietly retreated, leaving the two of them to talk freely.Jiang She invited him to take a seat, pretending to be casually looking at him, and was a little puzzled for a moment how he recognized him.She still remembered what he looked like when he left Beijing. He was such a handsome young man. He was a well-mannered white-faced scholar with brocade clothes and long gown matched with folding fans.Today, however, he was wearing the most common coarse linen clothes, with a rough turban on his head, a tired face that could not be concealed, and a lot of rough lines on the hand holding the teacup. The expression in his eyes made her see Not very clear, not at all like the person she once knew.

He Ding took a sip of the tea, put it down again, and sighed, "After all, Ruling always keeps tea at home." As he spoke, he must have noticed her astonishment, and raised his hand to touch his cheek, smiling self-deprecatingly, and then Some didn't care, "I haven't had any skills all these years, and I'm so messed up that I can't help laughing at you."

"I don't mean that, I'm just surprised that I haven't seen you for a long time." Jiang She looked away and smiled at him, "When did Zhenzhi come back? Anda remembers you for a long time. If he hadn't been on duty today, I would have dispatched you." People have gone to call, or tomorrow they will blame me again."

"I just arrived in the capital today." He Ding couldn't help showing a smile, "Anda still has the same temper as before, but it is necessary to keep him a secret. Please don't tell others about my visit today."

Jiang She's smile faded, "Why, Zhenzhi still doesn't plan to come back?"

He Ding's eyes dimmed, and he said with a wry smile: "Where do you dare to come back? My little sister followed my example and ran away from home. I still don't know where I'm going. How dare I come back?"

Jiang She shook his head slightly, lowered his eyes and said: "Then we must first report safety, there is no knot between the flesh and blood that cannot be untied."

"I know too, but..." He Ding sighed deeply, "That's all, let's not mention these."

The two were silent for a moment, and Jiang She forced a smile, "Yes, the journey to the town has been hard, and I must be tired, so I asked Jiang Yong to clean up the room and come out. Let's talk about other things when we have enough rest."

He Ding hurriedly stopped her, "Don't bother, I'll leave later."

"What?" Jiang She looked into his eyes, and the strange feeling of strangeness in his heart became stronger and stronger. Since he came late at night, he didn't want to stay there, so why?

He Ding also looked into her eyes without avoiding it, and said in a low voice, "I have a few words that I want to say to Ru Ling in private."

Jiang She's eyes sank slightly, "There are only you and me here, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

He Ding shook his head, "This place is not safe yet, we must guard against the walls having ears."

Jiang She stared at him for a long time, finally nodded, got up and walked behind the screen.Jiang Yong was a careful person, and he had expected that He Ding's late-night visit was not a small one, so he brought him to this small hall.This small hall was originally hidden, and there was a dark room hidden in it. She led He Ding in, lit the lamp, and turned to look at him, "If you have anything to say in the town, you can say it now."

But He Ding didn't speak in a hurry, turned around, and just came back to sit down at the table, apologized first, and then said: "These years have changed in the court, although I am in the Jianghu, I have heard a lot. When I entered the city today, I was interrogated for a long time, and the sky in Beijing may really change."

Jiang She looked at him calmly, "The war is raging, so we need to investigate more strictly." She held back her temper, and didn't rush to ask questions, but first followed He Ding's words to chat, to see if he would fight or not. What is the abacus.

He Ding stared at her for a long time, suddenly shook his head and laughed, and sighed: "Ru Ling has always been so calm, if Anda were here, he would have to grab my collar and tell me not to play tricks on me anymore."

Jiang She was noncommittal, but smiled wryly in his heart.But she didn't think it was admirable, if she hadn't been so calm, maybe she would have killed Aruna back then, so why is Liangzhou suffering today?If she had been more decisive, perhaps she would have killed Deng Gun years ago, and she would no longer let him go unpunished to confuse the king's heart.

She didn't answer, and He Ding didn't say much, just said: "If Ling doesn't ask any questions, then I'll get straight to the point. Yuqing is in trouble, who does Ruling think is the fault?"

Jiang She was slightly startled, He Ding has always been the most cold-eyed onlooker, and his words were never sharp, but today's words faintly pointed at Emperor Zhaoning. Could it be that he has completely changed after traveling a lot?

In all fairness, she knew very well that the root cause still lies in Emperor Zhaoning.If he hadn't listened to and believed in Deng Gun and urged the prefectures to build altars to sacrifice to heaven, the magistrate of Yuzhou would not have made great achievements and hadn't reported the disaster in time; In the middle of the court, the sages are not silent and flatterers are in power, causing a mess of smog; if it is not for the sluggishness of the court, how can the local officials be unscrupulous and neglect military training, and they will be helpless to fight against mere peasants to revolt... If this is the case Sure enough, the big tree was about to rot, and its root rotted at the beginning. Emperor Zhaoning was the biggest greedy beetle.But she can't talk about Emperor Zhaoning now, no matter how much resentment she has towards him in her heart, after all, the monarch and his ministers will share.

She said lightly, "It's Zhizhou's dereliction of duty."

He Ding suddenly sneered, "Does even Ru Ling think so?"

Jiang She remained silent.

He Ding suddenly sighed, "I made a slip of the tongue. Ruling is in the middle of the capital, so of course I don't know about Yuzhou. It's just that I come from Yuzhou, and I know it best. It's not that Yuzhou didn't write a letter, it's because the emperor abandoned Yuzhou."

"What?" Even Jiang She was shocked, "What do you mean by Zhenzhi's words?"

He Ding sighed: "Does Ruling think that the emperor really doesn't know about the famine in Yuzhou? The emperor knows it very well! But he only thinks about his immortality, and only urges to build an altar to sacrifice to heaven, and keeps the record of Yuzhou."

"How could it be so?" No matter how absurd Emperor Zhaoning was, he would not treat human life as a trifle, she really couldn't believe it, "The rest of the town must speak nonsense."

"I also hope that I am talking nonsense." He Ding just sneered, "Actually, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. I have been traveling for these years, and I know how corrupt the government has become. The people are in dire straits. No wonder Du Chengxuan is like this Resentment. And even if you don’t believe me, please think about it, how many prefectures and counties in Yuzhou, can he cover the sky with one hand just because he knows the state? Even if he knows the state and suppresses the book, can it be said that Yuzhou is all colluding, Is it true that there will be no rumors? Besides, at the beginning of the year, there was a heavy snowstorm in the south, if Miss Qin hadn't exposed Deng Gun's face, would the emperor have wanted to give relief?"

Jiang She said: "At that time, after all, the prince was seriously ill, and His Majesty was anxious..."

"Does this really make me believe it?" He Ding looked into her eyes and shook his head helplessly, "Even if that's the case, how could Deng Gun be allowed to linger until now knowing that he was guilty?"

Jiang She couldn't help avoiding his gaze, "But now, it doesn't matter what is right and what is wrong, the top priority is to put an end to the chaos in Yuzhou as soon as possible."

He Ding was aggressive: "Yes, the past cannot be pursued, but what about the future? Today is Yuzhou's last resort, and tomorrow will be Xiangzhou's unstoppable raids. Do we have to make up for it all day long? Folding axis, if you order, can you just watch my Daxing Society be destroyed?"

Jiang She got up abruptly, "As a minister, it is your duty to be a minister. Zhenzhi, don't say any more, or I will see off the guests."

She didn't want to guess He Ding's intentions behind these words. In any case, Emperor Zhaoning's time was really numbered.The description of the young man I saw today is still vivid in my memory, like a walking corpse and skeleton, once Wang Yu's funeral, the future will always be better than today.

He Ding also stood up with her, and actually spoke her heart: "Your Majesty's body is at the end of its strength, the imperial doctor said, I'm afraid it won't last until the end of the year..."

Jiang She's heart turned cold, and he said anxiously: "Speak carefully."

But He Ding didn't listen to her, and was still talking freely: "Now that the crown prince has passed away, please imagine, what will His Majesty do after a hundred years?"

"This matter is not for a minister to discuss." Jiang She had vaguely guessed what he meant, put his hand on the mechanism, and was about to open the dark room, "Suppress, forgive me for being rude, and we cannot keep guests."

He Ding didn't move, and his voice was very calm: "Ru Ling, I also believed my father's words before, always thinking that although His Majesty's willful actions are not so ridiculous that the country will be destroyed, when the crown prince ascends the throne, he will definitely be able to return the world to the world. I feel that what Du Chengxuan did is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, but now I know that I was wrong. I have no right to look down on him. Even though his actions may be extreme, he has finally tried his best. In the future, under the Nine Springs, I will be worthy of the lords of my Daxing generations. On the other hand, we all stood by and watched, silent, and thought that we had found the best strategy. In the end, the greedy moth could not be eradicated, the treacherous power became stronger, and we raised tigers Overwhelmed, hard to return.

"Actually, Your Majesty is not a foolish king. It is my connivance that makes the villain succeed. This country has accumulated evils for a long time. Now that Yuzhou is in front of us, if we continue to let it go, even if there is a virtuous and heroic lord, I am afraid it will be difficult. Wan, Ruling, I beg you to examine yourself, His Royal Highness, can you really take on this great task?"

Although Jiang She remained silent, he did not press the switch for a long time.

He Ding only felt that there was a slight chance, and continued: "Yes, I am loyal to my ministers, and filial to my son, but should I be loyal to the king, or should I be loyal to my Daxing country? If you order, I beg you to think about it again. , if you feel that what I said is unreasonable, I will leave immediately and never come again."

Jiang She was silent for a long time before he asked, "Who is it?"

He Ding raised his head suddenly, and there was a little joy in his voice, "It's His Royal Highness King Jing."
