"Actually, I'm a little curious, why are you here tonight, but you've come all the way to find me?"

Keeping pace with Ji Sui's mount, I asked straight to the point, after all, if there was really anything, Ji Sui would have said it when he was in the Hanlin Academy, but what I could not talk about until the two of us met alone must be a very important matter.

"You should know why I'm coming to you. ”

Ji Sui smiled, this look is quite informative for my intelligence.

I smiled bitterly, shook my head, and said:

"Well, you're a little surprised to come to me, but it seems reasonable. The second colt is very arrogant and outspoken, and is not suitable to be a messenger, and the fourth pony is too young and a little submissive, so naturally it is not suitable to be a lobbyist. In this way, there are only three horses, although your behavior is wild, but your mind is the most meticulous, and this lobbyist is naturally the most suitable for you. ”

"Well, it's a pleasure to talk to you, and you don't have to beat around the bush. It is not so much a lobbyist as a profit-for-profit exchange between businessmen. I'm here to find out how many chips you have in your hand, and if it's enough for me to sacrifice my life to accompany you!"

Hearing what the three horses said, it confirmed my guess, Dugu Xin acted quickly, and he contacted the family forces behind several other horses so quickly, thinking that it was to lure them to join forces and deal with the Gao family.

They also vaguely smelled that the palace was about to set off a bloody storm, so did they plan to prepare in advance?

I smiled, shrugged my shoulders and waved my hand:

"I don't have a lot of chips, so I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. ”

The corners of Ji Sui's mouth raised, and he said with a sneer:

"Should you say that you are happy to know your fate, or are you stupid, your life should be said to be in danger, and you can still laugh. ”

"Haha, if you don't make me laugh, can't you make me cry. If Heaven kills me, then it should be like this. ”

I laughed, and I didn't have the sense of crisis like an ambush on all sides.

"Speaking of which, from the perspective of your family's interests, wouldn't it be more beneficial for you to cooperate with Duguxin?"

If you want someone to show your hole cards, at least you have to show me how sincere the other party is.

As soon as I mentioned Dugu Xin's name, Ji Sui couldn't help but look appreciative, it seems that he came to find out what was right this time, he never knew that the big horse was also a master of the game.

"On the face of it, it does. They went straight to the point, and they said that they would bring down your Gao family. If your Gao family falls, the forces in the court will face reorganization, and the forces of several major families can also take the opportunity to expand. For us, it was really tempting. ”

I nodded, patiently waiting for Ji Sui to get over the addiction to alcohol, and then tell the twist.

"However, the premise is that the governors of the state and towns do not have the heart of a tiger and a wolf. ”

I was so happy that I couldn't close my mouth when I heard it, they were a group of tiger wolves, how could they not have the heart of a tiger wolf?!

"The struggle with Prime Minister Gao Cheng is nothing more than a struggle for power between literati and verbal criticism, but if those foxes and wolves are allowed to enter the imperial court, they are some soldiers who kill people without blinking, and no matter how powerful the literati's pen is, it cannot match the sharpness of the long knife in the hands of the soldiers! People who ignore long-term interests for the sake of immediate interests are stupid. Therefore, the tiger and wolf should be our common enemy. ”

After hearing Ji Sui's words, I said earnestly:

"Do you know what you mean when you say the word enemy? That is, you are ready to enter the maelstrom of court strife! You must know that none of those who are among them will end well. ”

"Do you and I have any other choices? Born in such a family, what I have been instilled since childhood is that everything must be the glory of the family first, no self, no choice, such a sad and painful life, if I can, I hope that I will not be born in a rich family in the next life, be a cloth cloth, be peaceful and happy, maybe be more happy and happy!"

Ji Sui said about the grief and indignation, and drank all the wine in the wine gourd in one gulp, but it was a pity that he used the wine to eliminate his sorrows, obviously he understood the most, and he was the most confused.

Although I can understand his pain, I can't approve of him being so indulgent, because in the end, the matter will not be resolved, and he will only be trapped in a whirlpool of pain, from which he will never be able to escape.

It's just an escape.

"Sitting still has never been my style. Just look at the current form, it is still difficult to tell whether the winner is clear, even if he wins, at most he will pick up a life, and Dugu Xin will still not be punished in any way; Becoming a king or losing a king has been such a cruel and bloody thing since ancient times. Will you regret such a choice?"

Ji Sui was silent for a long time, and then sighed, looking at the bright moon in the night sky, and there were gradually signs of being covered by dark clouds.

The days are long, and the moon is full and waning. It is the principle of nature that all things are born and that one is the other.

"Since the day when the Empress Dowager married several princesses, the interests of several major families have been entangled with the royal family, and one has been prosperous and one has lost. Isn't it also to protect them by placing a few horses in the Hanlin Temple? You must know that they are also enemies of your family! In this regard, your knowledge is far greater than that of the officials of the current dynasty who occupy high positions and only know how to expand their own power. ”

For the Manchu civil and military forces, the entry of the governor of the state and town into the dynasty would threaten their interests, so at this time, the governor of the prefecture and town was their common enemy; after this threat weakened or disappeared, the Chinese and military forces of the DPRK would begin to fight each other for power and profit, which seemed to be a strange circle, and the cycle continued and never stopped.

How can such a court be of one heart and one mind, and how can it be harmonious with civil and military affairs, enrich the country and strengthen the army?

"Maybe coexistence and co-prosperity is a win-win situation. ”

After some reflection, I came to this conclusion.

Ji Sui looked at me like this, stunned, as if I had said something incredible.

Equal distribution of interests or something, in a wealthy family with rampant selfish desires, will there really be a viable day?

"I thought I was withdrawn enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more amazing. ”

I'm very good-natured, and although I feel good about myself, I shouldn't have anything to do with being withdrawn and perverse.

"If something happens, you will let the two horses lead everyone to close the gate of the Hanlin Courtyard and guard it. Their target should not be in the Hanlin Academy, if after this battle can be saved and safe and sound, I will personally go and report to you, if I don't see me, I will never open the door, if I see a team of people, you open the door and surrender, at least, you can still leave a life. ”

If you succeed, you will live, and if you lose, you will die, this is a battle of life and death for our Gao family, and for the other families of the horses, as long as they show obedience, they should have a chance to live.

"Don't you think it's unfair to your Gao family like this?"

Only then did Ji Sui realize his cunning, didn't he put himself in a safe position to negotiate with the big colt from the beginning?

If his chips are big enough, then he will temporarily put aside his views, shake hands and make peace, and unanimously open to the outside world; if the defeat on his side is decided, then for the sake of safety, he naturally has to move closer to Dugu Xin's side.

Wall grass, isn't it a way to settle down?

It's just that Ji Sui will feel that this will make him look down on himself even more. But he didn't have a choice, because everything had to put the interests of the family first.

"If you can live, it's better to be alive. ”

They can not die, everyone wants to live, and I will not blame them for this. After all, they have no obligation to accompany you to your death.

"I really regret why I didn't know you earlier. ”

Ji Sui suddenly let out such an emotion.

"The ancients said: When you hear the Tao, you can die at night. It's not too late to know now!"

After saying that, Ji Sui and I looked at each other and smiled, raised our horsewhips, and left in the direction of the fast coming......

After Ji Sui and I were separated, I was ready to go back to the princess's mansion.

On the way, will inevitably pass through the Lotus Pavilion, these days because of the heart of the princess, passing by here, I am galloping by, only when I come back, will stop here for a while, by this rare charming moonlight, watch a lotus pond in the twilight of the flower bones, is also a special fun.

He tied the horse to the willow tree on the bank of the riverbank, and then walked to the lotus pavilion, and stood alone for a moment.

The faint smell of sandalwood in the air has not dispersed for a long time, probably because someone burned incense in the court not long ago.

Glancing at the stone table that had long been empty, and then looking at the beautiful scenery of this good day, the moonlight is charming, and there is a lotus flower company, it is really an excellent place to play the piano and tell the music.

No wonder, there will be people who come here to play the piano and music, it is really Yaxing!

I don't know who this person is who plays the piano, since he has such elegance, he should also be a person who likes music. It's a pity that I'm a little late, and I didn't have the opportunity to get to know this gentleman, so I don't know if I have a chance to meet him?

I thought to myself, watching the moon in the middle of the sky, if I go back late, Ah Zheng's kid will be nervous again.

Since I went back that night, I was covered in blood, Ah Zheng was so nervous that he couldn't sit still, no matter where I went out, he followed closely, for fear that I would make any mistakes, this time I was sorry for the old firehead's advice, and secondly, I couldn't explain to Her Royal Highness the princess.

I know that Ah Zheng is afraid that something will happen to me, and let him worry that it is my fault. It is precisely because of this that I don't want Ah Zheng to follow, because the person who those people want to kill is me, and Ah Zheng is with me, and he will only be innocently implicated.

So I tried my best to prevent him from following me to Yong'an Temple, and in the end he couldn't resist me, so he agreed with me that he must return to his house early, and if the hour was over, he would take his family all the way to find it.

This little guy is stubborn, and it really can't be pulled back by nine cows.

Let's go back!

Thinking like this, I strode out of the Lotus Pavilion, took my horse back, and after getting on the horse, I hurried home......
