Hearing Ruojun's words, I looked back at her with some surprise, and saw some excited but extremely determined gaze in her eyes, her slightly similar qualities to Wan'er still made me stunned, this unique and somewhat god-like temperament, is it unique to the battlefield generals who have been in battle for a long time, wandered on the edge of life and death countless times, but still have the people in mind?

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Wan'er knows Ruojun better than me, because in the position of commander of the first army, they are people with the same kind of heart.

In the face of the enemy on the battlefield, they can only move forward, not retreat, just because a step back, the people behind them will be slaughtered, Protecting the territory and the people is an unshirkable responsibility as a soldier!

I couldn't help but ponder for a moment, looked at Ruojun's determined eyes, and said:

"Ruojun, don't you really want to take revenge?"

If we dispose of Gongwang Yuwenzhen, it will not only be of great benefit to our Northern Wei Dynasty's control of the situation, but also the feud of Ruojun's family can also be liquidated.

I understand Ruojun's good intentions, She doesn't want me to take the road of Gongwang Yuwenzhen's power, Now that the Northern Qi Dynasty is dead, the Northern Wei Dynasty has become the new master of this homeland, if you can find a virtuous minister for these devastated Northern Qi people, this is a more important and righteous thing than revenge, if you have this awareness, I admire her.

But people have seven emotions and six desires, be righteous and forget their selfish feelings, how many people in this world can do it?

The pain and grievances in her heart have long been self-evident.

Ruojun was silent for a long time, thinking of the pain in his heart, and his eyes were full of tears.

At this point, she has no other way but to face it strongly, she can't sink herself, let alone let herself be immersed in pain and can't extricate herself, she has the pride and self-esteem of being the daughter of the backer Wang Yu Wenyi, if her father is knowledgeable, he will never want to see such a depressed and depraved self, she is the daughter of her father, she must not live up to his teachings and expectations!

"I was also disheartened, only to feel that there is no justice in the world! But when I learned that my younger brother is still alive in the world, and his life was exchanged for the life of his grandson, such a sacrifice of righteousness and weeping blood, if you feel that your own knowledge is shallow, and you only know how to complain about heaven and others, and you are very ashamed in your heart, how can you dare to say that there is no half of heaven and justice in this world? The old jailer's righteous act also shows that the righteousness of heaven is clear, and the road of justice is free in the hearts of the people!"

Ruojun collected his excitement a little and continued:

"If you don't dare to give up justice with personal enmity, the rise and fall of the country is a matter of life and death for thousands of people. ”

As he spoke, Ruojun suddenly knelt on one knee.

"Ruojun, you ......"

I was a little surprised, and tried to lift her up, but she refused, and instead pleaded with me:

"My father was loyal to the king and the country all his life, but in the end he died of power. If the prince is really concerned about the people in the world, please don't easily take the lives of others with a momentary suspicion and the idea of weighing the pros and cons, this kind of power trick is definitely not a move to determine the country and the people, please check carefully!"

I didn't expect that Ruojun would utter such righteous and far-sighted words, which shook my heart and benefited me a lot.

Hurriedly helped Ruojun up, his face was a little ashamed, but more of it was relieved and joyful, happy that Ruojun could have this insight and gain.

"If you are right, if the person in power only kills and takes away the life based on his likes and dislikes, if the person he encounters is not good, he will definitely leave disaster to the whole world. You can give up your personal feelings for justice, Gao Chen respects you!"

Ruojun got up, looked up at me, full of hope, and said:

"In this way, does Childe agree with Ruojun's invitation?"

I couldn't help but sigh and say:

"Ruojun, I never said that I would kill Gong Wang Yuwen Zhen!"

When you heard this, you were slightly stunned, and you couldn't help but wonder, since I didn't have such a will, then why did such rumors come out?

I didn't feel a bitter smile, and glanced at Luo Qing beside me helplessly, Luo Qing could only smile faintly and have no words, so it seems that there must be someone who has no mouth, so that rumors are spreading.

It seems that it is necessary to put an end to this phenomenon.

"What Fang Cai said about killing King Gong is just a tentative word, if you don't have to take it seriously, although I am temporarily acting as Yecheng Mu, I don't have the authority to deal with King Gong Yuwenzhen, the royal family of Northern Qi has descended to Wei, and the court will make proper arrangements. What's more, even if King Gong had all kinds of discomfort in the past, but in the end, he contributed to the surrender of Northern Qi to Wei and saved hundreds of thousands of people in Yecheng from war.

This time, I will tell what I really think, in addition to reassuring Ruojun, but also to take the opportunity to show my position, since I want to legislate for the country and set the framework, I must lead by example, if I can't do it, how can I ask others to do it?

The tragedy of the backer king lies in the role of power in the regime, and the rule of law is to govern the country with power, but this is the rule of man and not the rule of law, and what I want is to rule the country by law!

Creating a complete legal system for the Northern Wei Dynasty is the first and most important step in reform.

Although in the Haimao rebellion case, I took the opportunity to reiterate the power of the law, but for a long time, with the help of rumors, the nobles and gate valves were jealous, so that the atmosphere of the capital could be boosted for a period of time, but I know that there are still many drawbacks that have not been solved, and the most important point is that it has not yet touched the root!

The current legal provisions of the Northern Wei Dynasty are recorded in the "Rules", most of which are aimed at the people, but there are many forgiveness for noble officials, coupled with the prevalence of the iron scroll Danshu for a while, so that the legal provisions are useless for the noble lords, there is no deterrent effect at all, the decree is not declared, the courtiers are not afraid, in addition to endangering the people, it will seriously threaten the imperial power, even if the uncle has been to the "Laws" In order to win the support of some gate valve forces, it still gave more convenience and protection to the gate valve nobles, and this "law" is still not a legal deterrent to the subjects!

The punishment does not avoid the minister, and the reward is not spared.

Punishment and reward should be treated equally, and should not be treated differently according to people's status, only in this way can the law be considered fair, and only when the law is fair, people will consciously abide by it.

This is what I want, to rule the country by law!

......

Now that she knows that King Gong is related to the killing of her father, she can no longer treat King Gong with a normal heart, after all, the revenge of killing her father and destroying her family is not a common thing, she doesn't want Gao Chen to kill King Gong for the sake of the society, but this does not mean that she does not want to avenge this blood revenge.

As soon as he thought of this, Ruojun's expression was serious, and his hands couldn't help but clench into fists......

Hearing my evaluation of Gong Wang Yuwen Zhen, Ruojun sighed, she could choose a virtuous minister for the people of Yecheng to entrust, and she could also feel a little relieved, but there was a question that had been haunting her mind for a long time, and Ruojun still wanted to ask clearly.

"If you don't kill Gong Wang Yuwenzhen, isn't the son really afraid of raising tigers?"

The corners of my mouth rose slightly, and I said:

"What I want is to rule the country by law, not by art, the rule of law is not to punish the heart, and the heart is not to be ruled by the law! Gong Wang Yuwen Zhen has already surrendered to Wei, that is, Wei Chen, if he rebels, there will be adultery, the law is current, and there will be no forgiveness!"

When he heard the words rule of law, Ruojun didn't feel a few more bright colors in his eyes, but the reality was still very cruel, Ruojun couldn't help but ask:

"The so-called law is only used to punish the people, so what good is it?"

I looked at it firmly and replied:

"Punishment does not avoid the minister, and reward the good and spares the husband. ”

Ruojun snorted coldly and said sharply:

"How easy is it to talk on paper?"

My will and conviction will not be shaken, and I am saying:

"Where there's a will, there's a way!"

After a long silence, Ruojun saw perseverance and courage in my eyes, as well as the arrogance and courage that would not easily succumb in the face of difficulties and twists and turns!

Holding his fists, Ruojun said:

"Okay, Ruojun will wait and see!"

I saw Ruojun's expression, and I could also find out what she was thinking at the moment, and knew that I couldn't stop her revenge now, so I would like to delay the army, and make plans in the future, and said busily:

"Ruojun, there is still one thing I want to discuss with you, now that the grievances of the king of the backer have been revealed, and the court has restored his title of king, since your younger brother is still in the world, are you willing to let your younger brother inherit the title and become an official in the court?"

The father died and the son replaced, the natural principle, there is nothing to blame, but it was not easy to get out of the troubled waters of the court, do you want to let the younger brother repeat the mistakes of the past?

In the future, it is good for the younger brother to blame himself, if you want to be selfish at this time, the glory and wealth have never been in the clouds, after this tragedy, if you understand that it is not necessarily a good thing to be an ordinary ordinary person!

Ruojun clenched his fists and pleaded respectfully: "Please also ask the prince to help, let the world think that from now on, there will be no backer in this world!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion, if Jun is a smart and far-sighted girl, since she has such a heart, what does it matter if she fulfills her?

"I'll do my best to plan for you, then, what are your plans for the future?"

Listening to my words, Ruojun was grateful and said:

"Raise the younger brother well, keep filial piety for his father for three years with his younger brother, take the old jailer back to be raised, and send him to the end of his old age, only when the three-year filial piety period expires, and then ask for the guilty service in front of the young marshal's account!"

After three years, she will definitely go to Gong Wang Yuwen in person to understand each other's grievances......

After speaking, Ruojun couldn't help but feel ashamed, after all, she was going to break the three-year contract with the young marshal, but since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and now she can only fulfill her filial piety first and then be fully loyal.

I remembered his filial piety, nodded, and said:

"As a child should be!"

......

"Have you said everything you have said?"

By the door, Wan'er and Ziyu, who had been standing for a moment, both looked at this side with a gentle smile, and Wan'er took the initiative to speak and took over the conversation.

A few of us couldn't help but follow the prestige, Luo Qing and Ruojun saw that it was the young marshal who arrived, and they turned to clasp their fists and salute, and said in unison:

"The last general will wait to see the young marshal!"

And I smiled slightly when I met Wan'er's gentle gaze, she changed into men's clothes for the convenience of walking, and her chic and elegant appearance was more beautiful and interesting than that of women's clothes, which made me salivate and I was reluctant to take my eyes off for a long time.

"Okay, but I'm hungry too!"

Looking at her eyes, I pursed my lips and spit out this sentence without any scruples, at this time there was no security and prestige that a city governor should have, but it was like the gossip of ordinary people.

Wan'er shook her head helplessly, and walked over cordially to signal Luo Qing and Ruojun that there was no need to be polite, and instead looked at me who was standing with a scroll in her hand, and urged:

"Then why don't you put down your books and get ready to eat with your hands!"

"Good!"

Seeing the food in Ziyu's hand, I couldn't help but move my index fingers, smiled heartily and agreed, and ran to put down the scroll in my hand.

"Since the big guys haven't had lunch yet, let's eat it together, Ruojun, you can come too, don't be so restrained!"

Hearing this, Ruojun was still a little cramped at first, how could the monarch and the ministers be so arrogant? But as soon as he heard the young marshal's call, he was warmly entertained, and Ruojun was very gracious!

Over there, Ziyu and Luo Qing have already skillfully arranged the dishes, all of which are common side dishes in the army, as well as delicious cooking cakes and rice wine, all of which I love to eat!

I couldn't wait to sit down on my knees at the table, and beckoned to Wan'er and them while looking at the delicious food, signaling them to sit down quickly, they are all their own people, where can I take care of any rules?

Wan'er and Ruojun looked at each other and smiled, and then walked over one after the other, Ziyu and Luo Qing also sat down after Wan'er and Ruojun took their seats, and several people sat around the table, which added a bit of excitement and warmth in this cold winter.

I poured a few minutes of rice wine into my wine glass, and found that the rice wine was already warm and steaming, so I couldn't help but look back at my daughter-in-law sitting next to me proudly, full of appreciation.

I took the glass and wanted to taste the wine first......

"Eh, eat something to pad your stomach first, and then drink. ”

Wan'er stopped me from acting in a hurry, she knew that I was an alcoholic, but she was still very wise to prioritize my health, personally put the food into my bowl, and then looked at me with a smile......

I suddenly felt embarrassed, the wine was close at hand but I couldn't drink it quickly, but looking at the gentle eyes of my daughter-in-law, I immediately obediently put down the wine glass, honestly picked up the chopsticks and ate the food, and then secretly touched the wine glass with my hand, and then stared at Wan'er with an expectant look, blinking with two eyes, waiting for Wan'er's order.

Seeing that I was so well-behaved, Wan'er nodded with satisfaction, as if she agreed!

I was so happy that I felt like I had received amnesty, and I threw my head up and drank all the wine in my glass......

"Good wine!"

I couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

Ruojun on the other side looked at everything in his eyes, and felt that the two people in front of him were a very peculiar couple, compared to the noble status of the princess and the concubine, the way they got along with each other was like a common people's home, and Gao Chen at this moment was more like the person he met for the first time, simple and frank, it can be seen that his feelings for the princess are really deep, no wonder at that time all his thoughts were on finding a wife, but to get such a beautiful person as a wife, it is really Gao Chen's blessing!

Ruojun thought quietly, and couldn't help but be slightly distracted.

"Ruojun, you can taste the craftsmanship of our family Wan'er, compared to me, it is a world of difference!"

Only then did I realize that I had only patronized the wine, blushed slightly, and busily took the initiative to pour wine for Wan'er and them with a smiling face, and persuaded Ruojun to move the chopsticks and vegetables, don't miss such deliciousness!

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but be slightly stunned......

Ruojun was stunned because he knew that the dishes on this table were actually cooked by the young marshal himself, while Ziyu and the others seemed to have heard something terrible, and they looked at each other in surprise.

Did the horse master cook himself?!

Looking at their somewhat funny expressions, I couldn't help but laugh out loud and said:

"I really don't have much talent for cooking!"

"If you want to learn, if you put your mind to it, you will be able to learn it. ”

Wan'er spoke very lightly on the side, and seemed to be looking forward to me learning to cook a few decent side dishes so that she could also feast on them.

My head shook like a rattle, and I muttered to Wan'er:

"I don't want to learn, but if I do, I won't be able to rely on you to make me good food. ”

Very scoundrel opportunistic, Wan'er couldn't cry or laugh at me, and the purple jade girl was so helpless to roll her eyes at my cheekiness.

Ruojun had a surprised look on her face, and Luo Qing beside her gave her a good suggestion in a low voice, saying:

"Don't mind, just get used to it. ”

“......”

The atmosphere in the banquet gradually became lively, and Ruojun, who was still a little restrained, was also infected by everyone's enthusiasm, without the previous tension and discomfort, and after a while, the sound of laughter came out.

In the middle of the banquet, I felt that the time was ripe, so I took the initiative to raise my glass to toast to them, my face was slightly red, and my expression was a little more nervous and serious, and after smiling and looking at Wan'er, I turned to look at Ruojun and a few of them, and said slowly:

"I'll toast you first, and don't be too busy with this glass of wine to return, listen to me finish talking before making a decision. ”

After speaking, I raised my head and dried the aroma of wine first.

When Ruojun and the others saw this, their expressions couldn't help but froze, and they all calmed down and listened to me.

"Gao Chen came here to thank you for your protection of Wan'er, and second, Gao Chen had something to ask for. ”

While speaking, I looked back at Wan'er and met her gentle smile, and then took her hand, and the two of them stood up together, and solemnly saluted Ruojun, Luo Qing, and Ziyu together.

"Lord, Childe, don't be so ......"

"Young marshal, childe, don't do this!"

How can any subordinate accept the Lord's salutation?!

In a pleading tone, I addressed them:

"Please help us!"

Ruojun and the three of them stayed where they were, and Luo Qing hurriedly said:

"Childe's words are serious, but there is something to ask, Luo Qing will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up!"

"The same is true of Ziyu!"

“......”

I waved my hand and said:

"Gao Chen is determined to reform legislation, this road is very difficult to walk, so to face obstacles, hardships, twists and turns, a little careless, will be shattered, catastrophe, I and Wan'er today, not with the righteous order of the master and servant, but with the friendship of friends, willing to trust with life!"

Luo Qing and Ziyu both know that the Lord and the Son must have encountered real difficulties to be like this, and now what the situation in the Northern Wei Dynasty is, they are not unaware, and what kind of tribulations and dangers they will face in the future are obvious, but even so, she and Ziyu must guard the Lord and the Son, this is their innate responsibility and mission.

Luo Qing and Ziyu glanced at each other, and immediately picked up the wine glass and drank it all to show their determination.

If you know what kind of Lord you choose to follow, their pursuit and prayer are the deepest desires of your heart, and such a Lord is worth following with your life.

"The soldier dies for his confidant, if you are a king, you are willing to give up your life to accompany you!"

After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank all the wine in the cup.

Wan'er and I couldn't help but look happy, but everyone was so honest with each other, why not be afraid of the difficulties and dangers ahead!

......
