Rong Li approached Zijin a little bit, his body was covered with a faint fragrance of herbs, Rong Li stretched out his hand to wrap around Zijin's slender waist, and his smooth chin rested on Zijin's shoulder and chuckled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"County Lord, I'm just getting a letter, why be so nervous?"

Zijin opened his eyes and hurriedly pushed Rong Li away, walked aside, Rong Li looked at her cheeks slightly red, smiled again, and handed the letter to Zijin.

"The appearance of the county lord is very likable."

"Does Young Master Rong like to make fun of people so much?" Zijin was ashamed and annoyed, thinking of Fang Cai's gaffe, she really wanted to find a hole to get into. Zijin opened the envelope and looked at the ten lines, a bright smile bloomed on his face, and he took Rong Li's hand and shook it.

"Our plan worked, and that's great."

Rong Li glanced down at the hand that was tightly held by Zijin, and then looked up at the delicate face and nodded with a smile.

***********************

On the second day, the emperor sat on the dragon chair in the Taiji Hall, staring at the prince kneeling in His Royal Highness.

"Most of the people in Lingjiang were killed or wounded, and all the embankments were washed away by the flood, and the prince insisted on going his own way, killing nearly 1,000 soldiers."

The Emperor said word by word, his hand clenching tighter and tighter. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and threw it at the prince.

"This is my good son."

The prince's song came straight to him, and he couldn't hide, so he knelt in place.

The fold smashed the prince's forehead, and suddenly bright red blood flowed down his forehead, and the hand in the prince's sleeve was clenched tightly, and the pain in his heart penetrated from the texture to the bone marrow. The song fell to the ground, and the ministers hurriedly knelt down in panic.

"Your Majesty is angry."

"Su Aiqing, what do you want to say?" The Emperor pinched his hand between his eyebrows.

Su Xiang stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that I can ask the Heavenly Master to observe the celestial phenomena at night and then make a decision." ”

"What does the Heavenly Master think?"

Rong En stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with what Su Xiang said, Su Xiang intends to calm people's hearts after the flood, this is only a temporary strategy, and now the people need to deal with the flood from the root." ”

"Oh?" The emperor opened his eyes and looked at Rong En above the main hall, obviously interested in what Rong En had just said.

"Does that Heavenly Master have a fundamental way to deal with floods?"

Rong En saluted slightly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has no way, but the minister knows that one person must have a way." ”

"Who?"

"My brother, the young master of the Rong family, Rong Li." Rong En's tone was flat, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

Hearing this name, the emperor frowned and was obviously a little displeased, Su Xiang hurriedly said: "Heavenly Master may not know something, the Rong family is not allowed to enter the court as officials and interfere in political affairs for generations. ”

"Master Su, my surname is Rong." Rong En's voice slowly did not reveal the slightest emotion.

Su Xiang's face immediately changed, although Rong En didn't say it thoroughly, he was also a person who had been in the officialdom for decades after all, and he could hear some doorways.

hurriedly took a step back and saluted Rong En, "It's because the old minister is not rigorous enough to speak, and I hope that the heavenly master will not blame." ”

Rong En didn't pay attention to Su Xiang, his current identity even the emperor gave him three points of courtesy, not to mention a mere prime minister, he wouldn't take it seriously.

"Your Majesty, the minister's intention is just that he thinks that his brother is far better than me, and it is only to solve Tianyu's urgent needs, and he does not want to be an official and a half-post for his brother, and I also ask Your Majesty to know it." Rong En's tone was resolute, and there was no mercy between his words.

Even if Su Xiang hated Rong En at the moment, he could only suffer this anger by being dumb. The emperor looked at the people below and squinted slightly, but for a long time, he saw that all the ministers were hate to shrink their heads into the soil, and said, "What is General Chen's opinion?" ”

The emperor said that a man over forty years old walked out, different from the generals he had seen before, he was thin and weak, like a scholar, but when he stood in the hall, the awe-inspiring deterrent power was born, he was the most prestigious white-robed ghost general in Tianyu Kingdom - Chen Ziyun.

*********************************

In the attic of Xueyue Garden, Rong Li leaned against the window and looked at the green bamboos in the garden.

Chen Ziyun was born in a poor family, and he was not allowed to be reused for many years, and he only began to lead the army independently at the age of forty-one, and he was an entourage of the emperor when he was young. Later, he was General Wuwei. He was physically weak, unable to wield an ordinary bow and crossbow, and was not good at riding horses and archery, but he was courageous, good at planning, and good at leading troops, and won the hearts of the people. Cautious personality, although he is a military general, he is good at soothing soldiers and can make his subordinates serve him. is a rare combination of rigidity and softness of the elegant Confucian general. Rong Li said these words as if he was unintentional, but he deliberately said them to Zijin.

"He has a victorious army, only 7,000 men, but he is good at winning more with less."

Zijin sat on the side of the desk and listened to Rong Li's narration and couldn't help but have a headache, such a victorious general, although he can't be like other generals, charging into battle, and can't even do a close attack, but his undefeated performance is really terrifying.

"If only this man could be of use to us." Zijin felt sorry in his heart. Although she said so, she also knew in her heart that such people were often loyal to the court.

Rong Li turned around and walked to the other side of the table and sat down, holding up the teacup, "Why should the county lord feel sorry for one person, isn't there a Chen Ziyun in King Lin's mansion?" ”

Zijin's eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief, and Rong Li couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at her.

"By the way, how can you talk about Chen Ziyun?" Zijin wanted to ask this question just now, but he didn't want to be almost disrupted by Rong Li.

"Because he is the key person who decides whether I can enter the palace or not."

Zijin frowned and doubted even more: "You want to enter the palace?" ”

Rong Li nodded, "Although we can't bring down the crown prince at once this time, it can be regarded as a heavy blow to the trust between the emperor and the crown prince, so we must ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Although the strategy proposed by Zijin to deal with the flood is a long-term method, it is difficult to solve the urgent need, and many of the details are full of loopholes. Rong Li entered the palace at this moment just to offer a plan and win people's hearts, of course he was happy to laugh at the prince to give him such a big gift, and in addition, the prince will only be more convinced of what he said in the future.

Zijin pursed her lips, not at ease, she still couldn't rest assured that Rong Li would enter the palace, "No, it's too dangerous." ”

The emperor was already wary of the Rong family, and it was inevitable that the emperor would not suspect Rong Li's true motives if he acted recklessly, so wouldn't it be a failure? Zijin put all her chips on Rong Li, of course she couldn't let him risk himself, if something happened to him, then how should she get out.

Rong Li's dark eyes looked at Zijin, and his expression was calm, "The county lord doesn't have to worry, I have my own way to deal with it, and I can protect him." ”
