For friends, of course it will be different.

Xiao Yuan took Shangguan Wenruo's suggestion, and on the morning of the next day, he called Doctor Ruan Ming over.

Cool Palace, in the study.

Xiao Yuan was looking through the bamboo slips, which contained some of the past political policies of the Liang Kingdom, as well as the previous concerts of the county guards in various places, which were very important.

Therefore, he looked more seriously.

"King, Ruan Ming has arrived."

Xu Hu stepped in, and after holding his fists, he also stood next to Xiao Yuan's hand, with a war sword hanging on his waist, like a door god.

"Oh." Xiao Yuan answered, and then looked up.

Ruan Ming no longer dared to wear the official uniform of the Liang Kingdom, but was dressed in civilian clothes, and was summoned by the King of Qin today, his mentality can be imagined.

He hurriedly knelt on the ground, put his hands on the side of his head, pouted his buttocks, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Ginseng...... See His Royal Highness King Qin. ”

"Ah, Lord Ruan doesn't have to be polite, get up and talk." Xiao Yuan said casually, put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and glanced at it.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Your Highness."

The latter was about fifty, a standard civil official, and after getting up, due to nervousness, he kept his head down tightly, bowed his shoulders, and didn't dare to look at Xiao Yuan, let alone ask questions directly.

Xiao Yuan got straight to the point and said, "I heard that Lord Ruan has a good relationship with Xue Wu?" ”

As the doctor of Liangguo, Ruan Ming and Xue Wu have been ministers of the same court for many years, the two have a very good personal relationship, and often drink and chat together, Xiao Yuan wants to know this information, of course, there is no difficulty.

In Ruan Ming's opinion, now that the royal court has been destroyed, the capital is full of Qin army, and the next fate of his group of ministers of Liangguo is a matter of King Qin's words, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly responded: "Yes, Your Highness, you have been friends with Xue Wu when you were young." ”

From this point of view, they should all be hereditary magnates of the Liang Kingdom.

After Xue Wu's generals, Ruan Ming was a civil official family.

Prior to this, Shangguan Wenruo had even suggested to Xiao Yuan that in order to cure the cold land, it was not something that could be solved by force alone, but also needed to win over these famous families.

After listening to him, Xiao Yuan nodded and said directly: "That is the case, then the king wants to ask Lord Ruan for a favor." ”

"Huh? Your Highness, please command. Ruan Ming dared to refuse.

Xiao Yuan said: "Help this king persuade Xue Wu." ”

He didn't beat around the bush, and when Ruan Ming heard this, he obviously swallowed his saliva.

Although the Liang capital is broken now, outside, there are more than 200,000 troops of the Liang Kingdom, which are in the hands of Xue Wu.

From the bottom of his heart, of course, Ruan Ming was reluctant to agree, but he didn't have the courage to refuse, so he could only stammer: "In the next ...... Do your best in the future, only afraid, only afraid of being entrusted by His Highness. ”

"This king believes that Lord Ruan will handle this matter well."

Xiao Yuan didn't allow him to say anything more, he already waved his hand: "You go down and prepare, set off as soon as possible and go to Yanzhou." ”

"This, yes, is under the resignation." Ruan Ming could only respond and bowed.

The Ruan family is very large, in Liangdu, it is a famous family, there are many officials, and Xiao Yuan is not afraid that he will not do it.

When he got out of the palace and returned to the palace, he couldn't stop sighing, looking like a catastrophe was coming.

Seeing this, his two sons couldn't help but glance at each other, and then the eldest couldn't help but ask, "Father, what happened?" Isn't it King Qin, you're going to attack my Ruan family? ”

"Alas!" Ruan Ming sighed again, shook his head and said, "A catastrophe is coming, a catastrophe is coming." ”

"This ......" The eldest son looked anxious: "Father is clear." ”

Ruan Ming glanced at him and said sadly: "King Qin asked me to persuade General Xue Wu to surrender, how can I get there?" But if you don't go, you have no life! ”

In his opinion, this is a very dilemma.

When the eldest son heard this, he said directly: "Why should my father be embarrassed, it's a big deal, let's pack up the family property and escape from the capital!" ”

"How to escape? Now the capital has been occupied by the King of Qin, and the four city gates have long been guarded by the Qin army! ”

Ruan Ming said, and regretted it: "I knew that this was the case, I should have learned from Deng Xin and fled to Jialing County early." ”

The eldest son was silent.

But at this time, the second son, who had never spoken, smiled.

This person, named Ruan Yang, is quick to think, it can be said that Ruan Ming was able to rise all the way to the doctor in Liangguo, in addition to the Ruan family's own family background, the most important thing is that the second son secretly gave advice to him, and used various political means to eradicate many political enemies.

Ruan Ming knew the talent of his second son, but now that he smiled, he couldn't help but hurriedly ask: "Yang'er, what good countermeasures have you thought of?" ”

Ruan Yang shook his head and replied, "Father hopes to go to Jialing now, but in my son's opinion, going to Jialing will only lead to a worse death." ”

"Everyone thinks that if they escape to Jialing, they can get shelter, but in fact, don't look at King Qin who is silent now, it's because he just broke through Liangzhou and occupied the Liangwang Palace, and he has a lot of things at hand!"

"Once he finishes this battle, Jialing will usher in a catastrophe!"

"Not only Jialing, but also other cool places, it's the same."

"It's just that the battle of Qin Liang is not completely over now, once the war in Yanzhou is over, the army of Qin will be pacified!"

"Suppression by absolute force is the method that King Qin has always used!"

After hearing what he said, Ruan Ming couldn't help but swallow his saliva fiercely, and said with wide eyes: "Then, what should I do?" ”

"Don't worry, father." The corners of Ruan Yang's mouth hooked slightly: "King Qin's summoning of my father this time is not only not a disaster, but on the contrary, it is a great opportunity for my Ruan family!" ”

"Oh?" Ruan Ming's spirit was shocked.

Ruan Yang continued: "Now Xue Wu's first department, he can't advance, he can't retreat, and the supply of grain and grass is cut off, to put it bluntly, he is in a desperate situation, in this case, with the relationship between his father and him, if he really wants to persuade him to surrender, it shouldn't be too difficult." ”

"And once my father completes these things, it will be a great contribution to King Qin!"

"My Ruan family shows loyalty again, and when the King of Qin sees this, he will give his father an official position, because he needs the Ruan family."

When Ruan Ming heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "You mean, King Qin won't cross the river and tear down the bridge?" ”

"Absolutely not, to pacify Liangdi, not only to rely on force, he also needs to get the support of some famous families, otherwise, there will be chaos, this is what King Qin absolutely does not want to see, and the Ruan family is undoubtedly the best candidate." Ruan Yang said confidently.

"Father's trip, not only will it not be dangerous, but on the contrary, it will continue to make my Ruan family a powerful person."

"Hiss......" When he finished speaking, Ruan Ming couldn't help but take a breath.

The Ruan family, although not the top wealthy family, also has many protégés and former officials, and to a certain extent, it can represent some of the northern scholars.

And Ruan Ming, it's not Cai Yang, let his Ruan family perish with Liangguo, how could he be willing!
