My country, you can pinch it

When Fang Jinling heard the truth told by Liu Ke, he only felt that although art comes from life, it cannot perform the ultimate evil after all. If this is put in the film and television of later generations, it will inevitably be banned.

On that rainy night, it wasn't just Zhuangyuan Lang who was announced to the palace, but long before him, there was also an eldest son of the Wang family who left a long talk in the name of his brother-in-law.

It is said that a nephew is like an uncle. Just looking at Liu Ke's appearance, you can tell how handsome and handsome the prince is. The eldest son of the royal family, who has been carefully cultivated, must be full of elegance in every gesture, attracting many men and women, including emperor.

Rainy night, fine wine, and perhaps medicine to add to the fun, the emperor had been coveting for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back the evil thoughts in his heart and stretched out his hand.

"Unfortunately, maybe he was thinking about his pregnant sister, or maybe he couldn't bear to be humiliated. In short, he died that night, and my mother happened to see him again."

At that time, as long as the royal concubine gave birth to a son, she could be named queen. When she heard that her younger brother would accompany her in the palace, she personally sent two bowls of lotus seed soup to her.The emperor was doing something shameful, and all the servants around were dismissed, so the journey was unimpeded, and she witnessed the scene that broke her heart, and then it was beyond redemption.

In Liu Ke's low voice, Fang Jinling's hands trembled, and he immediately thought of the bloody storm that would follow, and Feng Chen's 20 years of grievances.

"It's been a few years since he sat on the throne, and his ass is not stable. He was supported by the Wang family. What will happen if he is exposed?" The hot-blooded Zhuangyuan Lang who was ready to flex his muscles was proclaimed into the palace, and he faced the charge of adultery in the palace, or Qingmei, who was his childhood sweetheart but had no relationship with him, do you think he was wronged or not?"

"Injustice! Too much injustice!" Fang Jinling replied, after hearing Shang Qingrong's description of the number one scholar, he was brilliant, and he was definitely No.1, so he ruined his future and life, what did he do wrong?

"No, it's just unjust!" Liu Ke repeated emphatically, "Because of the backlash and the pressure from the Wang clan, the second wife was staring at her like a tiger, so my grandfather had to leave the palace with his son's body to preserve the royal family's face. , and I have the opportunity to crawl out of my mother's belly and live up to now with the stigma of being a child of adultery."

Liu Ke didn't do anything, but since he was born, he was blamed for his father's sin of touching his uncle, forcing his mother to death, and causing his family to lose their children. He was even more wronged.

Everyone laughed at Liu Ke's absurdity, despised his birth, and insulted his mother face to face, but the real villains reprimanded him for his unfilial piety, or sat in the palace with a smile, earning tolerance from him Generous reputation.

Thinking of this, Fang Jinling felt indescribable disgust, "What about Concubine Wang Guifei, now this one, what role does she play in it?"

"Her?" Liu Ke smiled contemptuously, "Accomplice, my mother entered the palace as a concubine, so naturally she is innocent, and who knows if there is any friendship with the champion man, of course, only her as a younger sister Now, if you just slander a few words, you need to prove that they have given and received in secret, so naturally you can come up with such an excellent idea of ​​framing people."

Liu Ke's tone was extremely indifferent, "It's ridiculous that I also called her concubine mother for 20 years."

Fang Jinling opened her mouth, wanting to comfort her, but her words seemed powerless.

After thinking for a while, he finally said, "I have a question."

"Lingling wants to ask me how I know such details?"

Fang Jinling nodded.

"Because the unlucky champion is still alive."

Fang Jinling was taken aback, "How is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. This was the last thing my grandfather did before he left the capital. Maybe he thought this person was useful. He gave up his scheming and was replaced by a prisoner." It's just that his face was completely changed, and the description was terrifying. Liu Ke thought that the dumb man only left one eye , looking at the aloof emperor stubbornly, he knew how much he hated him, and all the pain became the obsession of revenge, which made him live until now.

"What's the name of the champion?"

"Yun Zhishen."

"But even he probably doesn't know the details?"

Liu Ke took a light breath and said: "At that time, the old people died, disappeared, and hundreds of people were implicated. Of course, it was difficult for me to find evidence by myself. So they collected these clues for me... Every birthday let me know something."

Fang Jinling suddenly paused when he heard this, and slowly raised his head, "Then how old were you then?"

"It started when I was seven or eight. I don't seem to remember clearly. The most clear thing is the bowl of lotus seed soup. A royal chef who hid in the countryside but was found cried and said to me. It was after contact. First birthday."

Liu Ke seemed to feel the sudden ups and downs of Fang Jinling's emotions. He tried to show a nonchalant smile, but failed. His eyes were dazed and terrified, as if he had returned to his childhood.

Fang Jinling bit her lip firmly, and said two words from between her teeth: "Cruel."

This is not against the emperor and the noble concubine, those two sins are unforgivable, but as Liu Ke's grandfather, how can he bear to treat a seven or eight-year-old child like this, and use his birthday every year to remind his mother of his hatred?

"Your Highness..." Fang Jinling thought he was mentally prepared to be able to bear it, but in the end he found that his heart was still being picked up, and he twisted it hard. The pain was so severe that he suddenly felt tightness in his chest and coughed. stand up.

Hearing the muffled cough, Liu Ke finally came back to his senses and subconsciously asked, "Is there no water?"

He reached out to pick up the glass to pour water, but just as he touched the edge of the glass, Fang Jinling shook his hands and grabbed his palm tightly, "I'm sorry." He regretted asking this question, and exposed it vividly Liu Ke's scar!

Fang Jinling's eyes were ruddy, and the wings of his nose moved. He looked like he was going to cry or not, which made Liu Ke feel soft-hearted.

He looked down at the water in the glass, and it was still full, "I wouldn't have told you if I knew it. Here, a sip will make you feel better."

Fang Jinling held the cup and moistened his throat. The warm water relieved the shock and pain, but brought more heartache.

"They shouldn't have treated you like this," he said.

"It doesn't matter, this is what I deserve."

Fang Jinling hesitated, "What do you mean by what you deserve? Could it be that you did these disgusting things?"

The voice was a bit loud, Liu Ke laughed and said, "Little Lingling, are you complaining about me?"

"Of course! You didn't choose to be born yourself. You kidnapped your heart with family affection and tortured your heart over and over again. You are still such a small child. How can you be a good person? Could it be that you are blinded by hatred and can't see that you are his only family member?" Is it? If your mother is still alive, do you also want you to be a tool for revenge?"

Fang Jinling was very angry, her cheeks puffed up, her brows frowned, and there was a lot of chatter.

Liu Ke's bad mood gradually cleared up after seeing Fang Jinling's red eyes and trying to maintain his appearance.

"Actually, this man is heartless. They use me as a tool. Do I have feelings for them? It's just to use each other." Liu Ke said indifferently, "It's just that I swore in front of the emperor not to use me. I will never go back to Beijing, so..."

Fang Jinling wiped his face, "Then don't go back."

"But what about you?"

Fang Jinling wondered: "Of course I will stay with you, this kind of secret is shared, can you still let me go without worry?"

Hearing this answer, Liu Ke couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth deeply, thinking that it must be reassuring, because the master has opened up his heart so much.

However, when he thought of the miserable refugees, he turned the corner of his mouth down again and shook his head: "You can't stay here, it's too dangerous."

"I'm not afraid."

"But I'm afraid."

When Liu Ke blurted out the words, the two of them were stunned for an instant.

Each other's eyes reflected each other's shadows, and something that was about to come out seemed to be on the verge of the mouth, and it seemed that if you think about it deeper, you can know what it is.

But Liu Ke licked his lips, turned his eyes away, and said, "I'm afraid that if you stay here, you'll drag me down. If something goes wrong, your sister will have to fight me desperately. I can't afford to provoke you."

"Hold your legs?"

Liu Ke looked at him and nodded sincerely, "If your body can hold a knife, I will lose."

"Knife? Your Highness, do you really want to fight with those refugees?"

"if not?"

Fang Jinling sat down and snorted: "You will lose with a knife and gun, but you can win with your brain. It's a win-win."

Win-win?

This is interesting. Liu Ke sat opposite Fang Jinling and asked, "How do you say it?"

Fang Jinling stood up and said, "Please come in, sister, let's talk together."

As soon as the words fell, Luo Yun and monk Chuqing walked in from the outside, saluted Liu Ke hurriedly, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, traces of refugees were found five miles away, and now they have come over!"

The two were taken aback: "So fast!"

Shang Chuqing said: "It should have been discovered a long time ago, and I have been secretly waiting for His Highness's car to drive past. I didn't expect us to stop halfway, and even those caravans showed signs of turning back, so I am afraid that His Highness will also run away. "

"What quantity?"

"There should be tens of thousands!"

Liu Ke looted so many things from the capital, dozens of carriages, and a long and winding train, who wouldn't feel itchy after seeing it?In addition, there was a caravan following, once a whole big fat fish was eaten, it would be enough for these refugees to survive for a long time, wouldn't they just come out in full force?

After silence, Fang Jinling smiled at Liu Ke: "Your Highness, it seems that I can't leave even if I want to."

"You can still laugh!" Liu Ke's calm finally disappeared, and he suddenly looked at Shang Chuqing, "Didn't it mean that you have a small road, can you still go now?"

Shang Chuqing shook her head: "I'm afraid it won't work, there are refugees all over the mountains and plains, the current plan is to retreat, bring the necessary dry food, and throw the rest away."

Luo Yun nodded fiercely: "Your Highness, hurry up, those refugees don't care who you are, if you stay in the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood!"

"Go back to Beijing in despair..." Liu Ke looked at Fang Jinling, who took a step forward and said, "Sister, Commander Luo, we won't leave."

At this moment, the curtain was raised again, Shang Xiyun, Wei Xue, and even Shang Qingrong all came together. Hearing this, he looked at Fang Jinling in surprise, "Aren't you leaving?"

Fang Jinling's eyes were bright, and he said firmly: "Yes, not only won't leave, but also deal with these refugees."

Outside, Shang Xiaoshuang and Shang Xiaowu looked at the tent suspiciously, "The refugees are about to come, why is there no movement after entering?"

At this time, seeing Xiaotuanzi coming with his servants carrying teacups, they quickly stopped him, "What's going on?"

"We're all discussing inside." Xiaotuanzi said.

"Aren't you leaving?"

Xiaotuanzi shook his head: "It should not be leaving."

"Why, do you really want to fight?"

The people in the account were also puzzled by this question.

Fang Jinling said: "First of all, we have to make sure that His Highness's purpose and the purpose of these refugees are actually the same."

Liu Ke rubbed his chin and thought: "The purpose of my master is naturally to become the master of Yongliang."

"Ah."

Shang Xiyun went on to say: "The purpose of the refugees is naturally to have enough food and clothing to survive."

"Yes."

Luo Yun spread his hands: "Then where is this consistent?" He looked around, but was confused.

Fang Jinling smiled, "Naturally they are consistent. If they want to have enough food and clothing, it is not enough for the refugees to just rob passing merchants, so there must be relief from the court. If His Highness wants to become the master of Yongliang, then at least he must first enter the Yongliang."

Liu Ke said: "So everyone has to open the gate of Yongliang City."

Fang Jinling clapped his hands together: "Exactly, Your Highness is smart."

Liu Ke cupped his fists: "How can I not guess this, I'm not a pig...but then?"

Fang Jinling smiled and said, "Since we have a common goal, we can seek cooperation."

"Wait, little Lingling, don't you mean to let these refugees let me go first, and after I enter Yongliang City, order someone to open the city gate to let them in, or open the granary to help?" Liu Ke said to himself. Laughed, "But why should they believe me?"

Wei Xueshen took it for granted, "The court's nonsense, these hungry refugees who can kill and rob people will not believe a word."

"And even if His Highness has the heart, he can't hold the power inside Yongliang, so why is Lu Wanshan obediently opening the city to release food?"

Liu Ke nodded, "My lord is a bandit, so it's better to grab it first. I've found so many good things, it's enough for them to last for a long time."

"So, young master, this won't work at all. Before the refugees come over, let's go back to Beijing." Luo Yun persuaded.

You and I have denied Fang Jinling, but he didn't show any frustration, instead he smiled and said, "Don't worry, since you don't want to let His Highness go first, then take them with you and go into the city together."

This sentence surprised everyone, "Go in together?"

Fang Jinling nodded heavily, "That's right."

"Go in together..." Liu Ke murmured, and suddenly he said, "Do you want them to submit to me?"

Fang Jinling's smile suddenly bloomed, "Yes, we have always thought that their purpose is to rob His Highness's car, or even kill people. They are opposites, but they are not real bandits, in fact, they are just a group of ordinary people who have nowhere to go."

"Killing and stealing goods is a crime after all, not to mention facing officers and soldiers, facing a prince. If it is not a last resort, most of the refugees are unwilling to do so. Your Highness will give them a chance to return to the right path, so that the refugees will no longer be in exile. Let’s talk about…” He looked at Liu Ke with sincere eyes, “This is the responsibility of His Highness, you should give them a home, a stable place to live, so that it makes sense for you to seal it, doesn’t it?”

Liu Ke was stunned by these words. He stared blankly at Fang Jinling, his black and bright eyes were full of anticipation, and one couldn't bear to let him down.

So he nodded and nodded emphatically: "Yes, this is my responsibility. If Lu Wanshan refuses to release the grain, I will release it. There are more than [-] people in the district, even if they are settled in a street. Isn't it enough? There is no such reason !"

These words were so heroic, Luo Yun beside him was full of excitement, "Your Highness is wise!"

Even the sisters of the Shang family couldn't help but glanced at each other, their slightly indifferent faces were slightly moved, and their expressions couldn't help becoming serious.

This fashion asked lightly: "But Ling'er, how did you convince them of His Royal Highness King Ning's promise?"

Wei Weixue thought about it: "As far as I know, empty words have no proof, and I will never believe them."

"Then give them enough sincerity."

"What sincerity?"

Liu Ke said in a deep voice, "Kill Lu Wanshan!"

As he spoke, he looked at Fang Jinling, their eyes met, and they saw the same meaning.
