"The plum blossoms fall, the peach blossoms bloom, the sun is on fire, and the golden armor is coming to the east. ”

"Smack!" a piece of paper was thrown down the hall and fell in front of the three people who were kneeling, and the three looked at each other in horror, and then lowered their heads in a whisper.

"This is a nursery rhyme that has been widely circulated among the people in recent days, I am thinking, when will any of you stand up and report this matter to me, what, are you afraid of getting into trouble, so you keep silent and let the people mess with the people!" Li Zongzhi said angrily, and swept the teacup on the case to the ground with a flick of his sleeve, and the crisp sound shocked everyone into a cold sweat, and the whole hall could hear the needle falling.

"The emperor's ......" Su Pintuo is the new prime minister, naturally the first person to be responsible among the people, he wiped off the fine sweat on his forehead, trembled and straightened his waist, and said: "The minister has ordered people to investigate this matter thoroughly, this nursery rhyme is strange, and the speed of transmission is extremely wide and fast, it is obvious that someone is intentional, the minister thinks that it is the remnants of the previous dynasty who took the opportunity to make trouble when our country was at war with Zheng Guo, and its intentions are clearly visible." ”

"According to Chen's view, the most important thing now is to suspend the diplomatic relationship with Zheng, and the first thing is to calm down the civil strife. The general Li Qiongchi has opposed the battle with Da Zheng from the beginning, but the emperor has insisted on going his own way, and now he finally seized the opportunity, so he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to persuade again, and before he finished speaking, Wang Chengfu, the captain of the main battle faction, had already spoken out against it: "The general's words are wrong!" Zheng and our country are not a day or two, Zheng Zhezhu has always been obsessed with the birthday of that year, and now he is sending troops to the border to confront us, if the soldiers and horses are withdrawn now, they will take the opportunity to cross the border and enter our territory, this discussion and peace is absolutely undesirable!"

This Wang Chengfu was originally a small commander, subordinate to Pingyang, when the Wu clan raised the army, he was dissatisfied with the behavior of his boss Mingzhe to protect himself, and when he intercepted the rebels, he killed his boss in front of the battle, and then led the troops to guard the city gate, and was stunned to block the soldiers and horses of the Wu clan outside Pingyang, thus blocking the path to the east, and also made an indelible contribution to the overall situation after the peace, it is precisely because of this that he made steady progress and climbed to the position of the captain over countless levels.

Although he is indeed talented, he is self-serving, his behavior on the battlefield is very violent, and his reputation in the army is not very good, but even so, he is still appreciated by Emperor Wen, after all, there must always be a wicked person around the emperor who is not afraid of offending others, and the reconciliation of good and evil can balance the forces, and complement each other to restrain and coexist.

"What Lord Wang said is not unreasonable, but I have just decided the civil strife, Hebodo is eyeing him, and South Korea is not a good type, and now the aftermath of the war has risen again, if you still have a bad relationship with Zheng, I am afraid that you will be overwhelmed. ”

"Master Su!" Wang Chengfu interrupted Su Pintuo's words, and said with a sneer: "I have a lot of talents, are you still afraid of some remnants of the previous dynasty?"

"What does Wang Aiqing propose?"

"The minister thought that the conscription was urgent, and the collection of grain and grass was also imminent, so he asked the emperor to allow the minister to supervise it together. The minister will live up to the emperor's order and complete this matter!"

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, and someone needs to suppress the rise of thieves in various places, and the secretaries can have a candidate. ”

"The minister thinks that the young general Mo Han-"

"The general has forgotten that General Mo resigned by himself, and the emperor still can't keep him, so why should the general be embarrassed by others!" Wang Chengfu hated others mentioning in front of him that the young general who was no longer in the government and the opposition. Mo Han became famous at a young age, with outstanding achievements, since Wang Chengfu served as a lieutenant, there are only two people above him, in addition to the emperor, there are only Xiangguo and the general, many people who are dissatisfied with his rapid climb often compare him with Mo Han who resigned and returned to seclusion, thinking that if Mo Han does not leave, the post of Tai Lieutenant will definitely be his, and where is it the turn of such a little-known little person, so he is very taboo for others to mention Mo Han in front of him, and no one can tolerate anyone wanting to invite him out of the mountain.

How could Li Zongzhi not know his thoughts, and he himself didn't want to use Mo Han at all, and now that Wang Chengfu resisted Zaiming, he was also happy to push the boat, so he smiled slightly, and said: "It's very true, I have a lot of talents in the Great Jin Dynasty, so why bother to force a person who has already returned to seclusion." He turned his head to look at Su Pintuo, glanced at Li Qiongchi again, and said, "Su Chong has made great progress recently, and I think he can take on the post of pacification." ”

Su Pintuo was taken aback, leaned over and was about to resign, Li Zongzhi had already stood up and yawned: "The night is deep, I am tired, you kneel down." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, Su Pintuo wanted to catch up, but Li Qiongchi grabbed him and shook his head with a solemn face. His words were blocked in his chest, and the mixed tastes in his heart were not tastes, Wang Chengfu waved his hand without smiling on the side, and walked away. Su Pintuo glanced back at Li Qiongchi and sighed deeply.

Li Qiongchi smiled bitterly and patted him on the shoulder, did not speak, only shook his head, shook his head again, and then looked up at the sky outside the hall.

The stars are changing, generation after generation, the Wu clan is gone, the Hou Mansion is gone, the heroes of the Wu clan are gone, scattered, and the new generation of talents are pouring into the court, and the situation seems to be flourishing towards the new side, but it seems to be ...... It doesn't seem to be the same anymore.

The emperor's mind is becoming more and more elusive, and the country of this Great Jin Dynasty is ......

Alas......

"How's it going? Is the situation in the city okay? My father and mother are okay? Holding Ying Li's arm and dragging it around, Yu Mo asked countless questions one after another. Ying Li still had a mouthful of water in his mouth, and was choked by her drag for a while, until the wind pulled Yu Mo away, he breathed a long sigh of relief and replied, "Don't worry, I'll answer you one by one." The city is fine now, except for the increased patrol, everything is as usual. I saw your father and your mother, they were all right, the people of the bowl were there every day, and they were clearly monitoring them, I finally found a gap to get into, and they almost found out, but fortunately, Master Li covered me. Your father said that you should stay here with peace of mind, and on the seventh day of the new year, he will find a way to let Uncle Li come up the mountain, and then tell us what to do. ”

"That's good, it's hard for you to make this trip. Merry patted Ying Li's head and asked him to go to the side to rest, then turned around and walked to the corner, and said to Bai Yan, who was sitting silently: "You can recuperate well in the past two days, and we will leave on the evening of the seventh day of the new year." ”

"But there are so many officers and soldiers, can we really run out?" Bai Yan didn't speak, but Qin Zhen expressed his uneasiness in his heart quite worriedly. Merry smiled slightly, and said to Qin Zhen: "I believe that Brother Shaoqing will arrange everything, even if we really can't run out at that time, we will give our lives here, and I will not regret or fear it." ”

Hearing this, Qin Zhen nodded fiercely, patted his chest and said, "I'm not afraid." ”

Bai Yan's eyes finally moved, he looked at the two men, then at the two children on the other side of the cave, and then reached out and picked up something that was wrapped in a coarse cloth beside him. It was something that Merry had brought him, and it had been sitting next to the saddle of the black horse.

The coarse cloth faded, and a cold and glittering spear head revealed a cold edge in the light of the firelight!
