Chen Zhi didn't say the next words, but Zong Xuanyi understood. No one in the court knew that he regarded Zhenbei Wangfu as a thorn in his side, and he had never been wary of Ji Hongye, after all, they were inextricably linked.

Early in the morning, someone asked him to guard against Ji Hongye, saying that this young man with a gentle appearance Tanhua was actually a very ambitious person. There is nothing in his poetry, his handwriting, and his official voice that does not reveal the characteristics of a successful politician.

This kind of thing is buried in his bones, and no matter how he hides it, there is no way to erase it. But he felt that his disciple was making a big fuss, a young white-faced scholar, and it was not worth his eyes, let alone set out to deal with him?

Looking at it now, if Shen Qing is a sharp knife, it is brilliant and powerful. Then his proud protégé Ji Hongye must be a sheathed sword, and even the sharpness is silent.

Is it better to be blue than blue?

Zong Xuanyi's eyes deepened, looking more and more unfathomable, and his tone was gloomy: "What a Ji Hongye......"

Hearing this, Chen Zhong probably understood what was going on, he was an anxious person, and immediately said anxiously: "Could it be that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is also a party of the King of Zhenbei?"

Chen Zhi nodded: "Very likely." ”

"It's going to be hard. ”

Chen Zhong's face was worried, and the king of Zhenbei was far away from being able to reach the core of the court in northern Xinjiang. And Ji Hongye is the secretary of the Criminal Department, a second-class member of the court, and now he has entered the Wenyuan Pavilion and become a cabinet elder, which just makes up for his shortfall. And he is also the most proud protégé of Shen Qingzheng, the Qing of Dali Temple, not only controlling the criminal department, but also eating well in Dali Temple. Many of the officials in the court are his classmates, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they breathe out from the same nostrils as him.

The Ji family's firms are all over Ningguo, and even Northern Yan and Southern Chu have his family's power. Intricately intertwined, not to be underestimated. If it is said that the most saintly family in the Ningguo court is the strongest now, it is none other than this Ji Shangshu.

Xiangye is afraid that it will not be easy to move him. One Zhenbei Wangfu and King Hui is enough to give people a headache, if there is one more, how can it be done? Especially Shen Qingzheng is still King Hui's party, if Ji Hongye is united with his teacher, and then he wins over King Zhenbei, it will really become a problem for them.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and said loudly: "Xiangye, we finally invited the father and son of the king of Zhenbei back to Jinling, but now they are returning to the mountains. The king of Zhenbei has a heavy army, and he has won the hearts of the people in northern Xinjiang, so we can't do anything about him this time......"

"Enough!" Zong Xuanyi interrupted him, staring at Chen Zhong with a pair of sharp eyes.

"Xiangye......" Chen Zhong said weakly, being looked at by him like this, it was inevitable that he was a little weak.

"Don't talk about it again. ”

"King Zhenbei doesn't know the current affairs, and if he is co-opted by King Hui, it will become a big trouble. Even if we don't get rid of him now, we still want to leave Xu Jince in Jinling as a proton, how can you let him go back? Why don't you send some people to intercept him halfway, in short, you must not let him go back. ”

"Do you think that leaving Xu Jince will be able to contain Xu Huaiyu?"

"Isn't it? King Zhenbei is just this one son. ”

"You have been with me for so many years, when will your eyesight improve? Xu Huaiyu thinks of loyalty and patriotism all day long, and swears to be loyal to the Zhu family, do you think he will be at my mercy for Xu Jince?"

"Tiger poison does not eat children. Moreover, Xu Jince is proficient in the art of war and can fight well, if he folds in Jinling, the Xu family army will also be greatly injured. If the Zhenbei Mansion has no descendants, how can that old puppet consume us?"

Zong Xuanyi's eyes became more and more gloomy, and his voice was also cold: "That old thing is much more difficult to deal with than a tiger, and it will take a long time to come." He paused, and then said: "If you hurt the Xu family, you will move the foundation of Northern Xinjiang, what I want is for Xu Huaiyu to return to obedience, not to let Northern Chu have a chance." ”

Chen Zhong naturally knew that his Xiangye had put the common people in his heart, but he still felt a little pity, so he couldn't help complaining: "Actually, this time, you can obviously put them under house arrest in Jinling and take the opportunity to remove his power." ”

"Northern Xinjiang borders on Beiyan, and has never been born, if you take the liberty to leave the king of Zhenbei, I am afraid that there will be war in northern Xinjiang. Chen Zhi calmly analyzed.

Chen Zhong didn't want to listen to him, and said angrily: "You are a literati, so you are afraid of war. If Beiyan wants to provoke a war, then we can fight back. Our Daning soldiers are strong and strong, is it possible that we will still be afraid of them? As long as Xiangguo gives an order, I will lead the troops into battle. ”

"Said that you will dance with knives and sticks every day, you really don't grow?"

"It's obvious that you're only engaging in literati stuff, but you dislike me. ”

"Our Daning was originally a state of etiquette, and it has always been a state of Wen'an and a country of Wuding, and you are talking with a gun and a stick, you just look down on us scholars. ”

Chen Zhong had a straightforward personality, he didn't find the strangeness of these words at all, and he couldn't realize that he was about to fall into Chen Zhi's trap, and said loudly: "It's useless to be a scholar!"

Chen Zhi winked at him, hooked the corners of his lips gloatingly, and said: "Our Xiangguo was the champion back then, if you talk about reading, I'm afraid there are few people in the entire court who can catch up." ”

Chen Zhong was already an impatient, seeing him spread the war to Zong Xuanyi, his eyes suddenly widened, and his voice instantly rose: "It is said that you staff have hearts, and this is really the case, it is obviously a matter between me and you, what are you doing with Xiangye involved?"

"I don't, you said that you are useless and a scholar, what does it have to do with me? Don't you think about pulling me into the water and letting me carry the black pot for you. Chen Zhi looked aggrieved.

"You ......" Chen Zhong was angry and just wanted to rush up and punch him a few times.

Chen Zhi knew that he couldn't beat him, so he naturally didn't dare to clash with him head-on. Stop beside Zong Xuanyi. I look like I'm by Xiangye's side, and I don't dare to do it.

Chen Zhong gritted his teeth angrily: "Chen Zhi, I want to fight you alone." ”

"Enough! Do you really think you're three and a half years old!" Zong Xuanyi was displeased, and the two people who were facing each other suddenly quieted down. He stretched out his slender fingers and rubbed the corners of his forehead vigorously, closed his eyes, and said very tiredly: "That's it, don't mention this matter again, I'm a little tired, you all stand down!"

"Xiangye, there are some words that you don't want to hear, but you still have to say them. Chen Zhizhi guessed what Chen Zhong wanted to say, and silently greeted his ancestors for the eighteenth generation in his heart, ready to pull him away.

Who knew that Chen Zhong didn't appreciate it at all, and struggled: "Madam has already gone, no matter how much you regret it, she can't come back." You can't be so decadent anymore, your status is precious, you should put the court first, the people you know are just pawns used in your layout, what does it matter if you live or die?"

Zong Xuanyi's eyes suddenly surged like ink, and he said sharply: "Bastard thing, kneel down!"

Chen Zhong and Chen Zhi were trembling by his roar, and knelt down with a pop. Chen Zhi lowered his head and secretly looked at Zong Xuanyi's expression, and when he saw that he was angry, he didn't dare to speak casually.

Chen Zhong knelt on the ground straight, his tone did not flinch at all, and he was still very stubborn: "These are all your subordinates at the beginning, those who seek great things cannot be heroic and short-breathed, and their children are long-sighted." ”

"That's enough, Xiangye doesn't blame you, aren't you finished yet?" Chen Zhi was afraid that Chen Zhong would completely anger Zong Xuanyi, so he hurriedly stopped it.

Zong Xuanyi didn't seem to hear the words of the two of them, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were no longer as sharp as before, and they were slightly empty: "If I knew that I would lose her like this, I would rather not use this bitter trick at the beginning, what is Xu Huaiyu's father and son compared to her?"

yes, what's it?

I'm the one who lays it out, and I've always stuck everyone on the chessboard, leaving me to fiddle with. But I am also a human being, and I also have feelings for love, and I also have emotions other than careful calculation. I dismiss this emotion because it's too delicate and not for me. When did it start to take over my heart and start to corrode little by little, I didn't even realize it.

The moment he lost it, it seemed that something hit his chest hard, and it hurt him like a heart. He couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, and he didn't even know what to do. He wanted to say a few words to her, he wanted to beg her not to die, he wanted to tell her that he wanted to start over. But the blood in his chest was surging, his throat was blocked, and he couldn't say a word.

He could only kneel on the ground and half-hug her, burying his cheek in her neck, and choking incessantly. Later, he coughed up blood, but he still couldn't say a word. I could only hold her tightly, watching her turn a little pale, watching her gradually close her eyes, watching her white hands fall from his heart, watching her gradually become cold......

He felt that his world had completely collapsed, and he could only hold her corpse and scream. It hurts, to the extreme.

When I first saw her, she climbed the tree not very dignifiedly, sat on the branch and smiled brightly, and the girl under the tree kept persuading, but she refused to go down, how could she have the demeanor of a famous lady? Later, I became her teacher, got along with her every day, and learned about her temperament, she was not arrogant, but she was just simple-minded and incomprehensible to the world.

He knew that he would be entangled with her in the future, but he unconsciously got used to her company, and got used to washing away the lead and living an ordinary life with her after stirring up the situation. never thought that she would choose to leave him like this, forever. From then on, there will be no more her in his life, and no one will leave a lamp for him at night, light a soothing incense for him when he is tired, and smile and be safe by his side.

Nalan Jinxiu, I always feel that all this seems to be a joke played by fate. After waking up from the dream, in fact, I can still see you, see you snuggled in my arms, and listen to you call me softly, like for many years in the past.

Jin'er, Zong Xuanyi closed his eyes. Now, I understand and want to cherish it, but you have left me and will never come back.
