Chapter 247: Late Night Discussion
Zhu Di couldn't bear to see Xu Miaojin's sad eyes again, and he couldn't let Xu Miaojin see his undignified face again.
Xu Miaojin stumbled, and Hongshi held Xu Miaojin's arm.
Xu Miaojin didn't say a word, and her desperate eyes were full of reproach for her powerlessness.
"Miaojin, you go out. I'll take care of Your Highness......"
Redstone regrets it. What's the point of his schadenfreude? In exchange, all that was exchanged was Xu Miaojin's pain.
"I, I'm useless!" Xu Miaojin wiped her tears.
"Miaojin, don't be angry with His Highness. He didn't recognize you because he was sick. ”
"How did my brother-in-law become like this? Can't you really cure him? ”
Xu Miaojin's pleading eyes crushed Hongshi's heart.
"I ......" Hongshi shook his head, "Heart disease is incurable, His Royal Highness is no longer the Yan King he used to be." ”
"Nope! King Yan is still King Yan! The brother-in-law is still the same brother-in-law as before, he will be fine! ”
Xu Miaojin's moist eyes were round, and she relied on this belief to persist day by day in the Yanwang Mansion.
Zhu Di's back rose and fell, and he swallowed the tears that welled up in the corners of his eyes.
"Hmm. You're right. Though...... It's not easy to treat, but I'm ...... Exert oneself. ”
Redstone reluctantly smiled at Xu Miaojin.
"Really? As long as you cure your brother-in-law's illness, even if I owe you a big favor, you can do whatever you want me to do! ”
"No, no, it is my duty to heal His Highness. I also hope that Your Highness will get better soon, and you can go back to your room. ”
Hongshi didn't want to see Xu Miaojin's sad face anymore, his sad face because of Zhu Di, and he didn't want to hear Xu Miaojin's bitter pleading, because of Zhu Di's pleading.
Finally, he knew that he had done the last thing he should have done.
The night blinds the minds of most living beings, who are drowsy, some enter wonderful worlds, some are struggling.
A handful of creatures who can know themselves more clearly in the dark, who know their enemies, are ready to move, ready to show their talents. Zhang Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, was one of these few.
The Beiping Political Envoy Department is a three-entry courtyard with five rooms, the first two are office areas, and the last one is the officials who live here.
In the three months since the new official took office, every night, the last entry has always been lit with a permanent lamp.
Under the lamp is always the same book - "Guiguzi".
Zhang Yu read the "reaction" article with relish, holding a refreshing tea in his hand.
He no longer needs to be engrossed in staring at the words on the page, he has read "Guiguzi" hundreds of times, and every word is familiar to him.
He opened it in order to get some new thoughts.
As a teacher of his own careful actions, the teachings of "Guiguzi" will not be too many times.
The four-step stepped lotus colander ticks to announce the passage of time.
The water in the top layer of the lotus drain pot seeps out of the small hole at the bottom of the pot and pounces into the mouth of the huge lotus flower on the next layer, and then rushes to the next layer until they stand next to the sign that shows the time.
Their jubilant rush didn't bother Zhang, who would soon face his toughest opponent and nothing could distract him.
There was a knock on the door outside, but Zhang Hao didn't move.
The door opened a crack, and the shaft made an uneasy "crunching" sound, warning of the invasion.
Zhang Hao suddenly pulled out the sword on the bookcase and stabbed it in the direction of the danger he perceived.
Following the sword blade, he saw that the so-called danger was his colleague, Xie Gui, the newly appointed commander of the Beiping capital.
"Master Xie, why are you here?" Zhang Yu was still holding his sword.
"For tomorrow's business. Although I just visited King Yan, I was worried that something would go wrong, so I came to discuss it with Master Zhang. ”
Xie Gui was not polite, and sat on the chair closest to him.
Zhang Yu and Xie Gui rarely crossed paths before they were transferred to Beiping.
After being transferred to Beiping, they went their separate ways, and the two only had two simple meetings.
Xie Gui is thirteen years older than Zhang Yu, but he never relies on the old to sell the old.
He was rugged and heroic, magnanimous, and was able to appreciate both the strong and the willing to humbly ask for advice.
Zhang Yu is smart and studious, well-read in military books, and in Xie Gui's mind, he is an official who can make good decisions.
"Lord Zhang, we haven't been to Yanwang's Mansion since we came to Peking for so long, and we just collected information outside the high walls of Yanwang's Mansion, but we didn't get much useful information at all. Tomorrow is the first time we've walked into the wall, and we have to discuss what to say, what to do, every word and deed, every action to be wrong. ”
For tomorrow's visit, Xie Gui is not worried, but just cautious.
He knew that what Zhang Yu wanted, he might not want to get.
"Master Xie, what you said is good. It is rumored that King Yan became ill because he missed the three princes, but he didn't know if it was true or not. King Yan is cunning and deceitful, we should be extremely careful. ”
Zhang Yu bypassed Xie Gui, returned to his position, picked up "Guiguzi" on the bookcase and raised it in front of Xie Gui.
"I've been studying this book lately, and I've had a lot of new insights."
"Oh, what do you think?"
Xie Gui has also read "Guiguzi", but this book of strategy is only a superficial meaning to him, and it is the same how many times he rereads it.
"To recognize King Yan, we must gain insight into his past thoughts. Guiguzi said: 'On the contrary, look at the past, and repeat the experience; Contrary to know the past, and to know the present'. ”
Zhang Yu glanced at the lotus leaky pot, and he had to adjust the level of detail of his introduction according to the length of time left.
"What does Master Zhang mean? None of us had dealt with him before. ”
Xie Gui felt that he had come to the right place, and Zhang Hao really found another way.
"Not only do we not know what he is thinking, but the minister and the emperor don't know what King Yan really thinks, so they sent us into King Yan's mansion to spy on him."
"Well, tomorrow's spy is key. However, tomorrow's Yan King must not be today's, yesterday's, yesterday's Yan King, the Yan King of the day before yesterday, he will hide his thoughts in front of us, and with his cleverness, he will definitely not show a trace. ”
Zhang Yu squinted, his gaze seemed to be penetrating through layers of barriers, burrowing into the heart of Yan King Zhu Di.
"Then how do you find out the Yan King before tomorrow?" Sensing the cunning of his opponent, Xie Gui was a little anxious.
"Look for clues from the people next to him. We pretend to focus only on Yan Wang himself, and ignore others. When we talk to Yan Wang, Yan Wang's reactions are bound to be false information, but the reactions of others are crucial. Especially the people closest to him, maybe only one or two people understand his strategy. They think that if our attention is on Yan Wang, they will relax a little, so they will show some real reactions. ”
Zhang Yu looked at Xie Gui, hoping that he could fully understand his words.
