Zhong Yuanshan snorted and sneered, copied his hand, and said slowly: "As long as it is a war, it will inevitably make the people miserable, if you want the world to be peaceful and the people to be healthy, you should not rebel." ”

Cui Yi shrugged his eyebrows suddenly, obviously angered by this basin of cold water, and subconsciously wanted to hit back with a loud voice, Zhiying hurriedly coughed and reminded him not to be impulsive.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhong Yuanshan's mouth, as if he thought that the way they got along with each other was very interesting, but he didn't say anything, and waited quietly for them to answer.

"Second uncle...... That's not true. Cui Yi endured it for a long time, and finally suppressed the fire, and said in a calm voice as much as possible.

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Zhong Yuanshan had a very interested expression, leaned back in his chair, and asked him to continue.

Cui Yi took a deep breath and said: "Brother Huang's desire for power, as early as when his father was still alive, he formed a party in the court for personal gain, excluded dissidents, calculated siblings, and murdered his parents, after his father died, he couldn't wait to monopolize power, not to mention my brother who has always been at odds with him, the third brother who had a close relationship with him since he was a child was also forced to death by him, and now even his biological mother, the Empress Dowager Yiming, is not in danger, such a cold-blooded, ruthless, cruel and suspicious person sits on the dragon chair, can the world really be peaceful?" ”

Zhong Yuanshan was obviously silent for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "The third prince was forced to death by the emperor?" He doesn't even trust the Queen Mother? ”

"Yes," Cui Yi got up and bowed to him respectfully, "The sage has clouds, and those who can't tolerate people in their eyes, how can they tolerate the world in their hearts, please ask the second uncle to think about the great Chu Jiangshan Sheji, and for the common people in the world, don't be confused by the short-term peace in front of you, now except me, no one can stop him." ”

After his words were finished, there was a long time of silence in the study, Zhong Yuanshan's face could no longer see the previous difficult and playful expressions, replaced by unprecedented seriousness and solemnity, he nodded slowly after pondering: "What you said is indeed reasonable, but which saint said the sentence you just said, 'Those who cannot tolerate others in their eyes, how can they tolerate the world in their hearts'?" How I've never heard of it. ”

Cui Yi replied shamelessly: "It was Concubine Ai who said it to me in the morning." ”

Zhong Yuanshan: "......"

Profit: "......"

Zhong Yuanshan said with a tense face: "Oh, it turned out that Mrs. Changsun taught you, I thought that the prince had gone through so many things and made progress, but I didn't expect that these words were memorized in advance today, and they were specially waiting to be performed for me." ”

Cui Yi didn't know what to say all of a sudden, the good atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing, Zhi Ying was in a hurry, and hurriedly said nothing: "There is no matter!" The second uncle is too careful, what the prince said is the true thoughts in his heart, and it has nothing to do with me, I haven't let the prince recite a book for a long time, uh......"

Zhong Yuanshan looked at her expressionlessly: "It seems that Mrs. Eldest Sun has asked the prince to memorize a lot of books before." ”

Zhiying is self-defeating, she is stammering, she wants to cry without tears, and she can't wait to slap herself.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Yuanshan not only did not get angry, but raised his head and laughed, the laughter was so pleasant that the two of them looked at each other, and the second monk was puzzled.

"Very good, eldest grandson Zhiying, you are very good." After laughing, Zhong Yuanshan patted his knee with one hand and said in a deep voice.

Zhiying didn't know what he meant, so she could only laugh dryly.

Zhong Yuanshan stood up from the chair: "I remember the last time I saw Ying Rong, he was still a six-year-old child, he was still playful, his head was full of only slingshot wrestling, knives, guns and sticks, and he didn't know a basket of words, he didn't look like a person who could become a big weapon at all, but I didn't want to be trained by you to be what he is today, and he could shake out a big car without endorsement, it was really unexpected, with you by his side, I believe that the mud will always have a day to support the wall." ”

Zhiying was suddenly overjoyed: "So the second uncle promised to help the prince?" ”

Zhong Yuanshan finally smiled at this moment: "The last general Zhong Yuanshan led 25,000 Jiangzhou troops, and from today onwards, he will return to His Royal Highness King Shunwu, and he is willing to smear the liver and brain of the prince, and then die!" As he spoke, he lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down on one knee in front of them.

Zhiying was so happy that her heart was about to fly, and she was about to say something, when she heard Cui Yiyin beside her ask compassionately: "Who did the second uncle say was the mud that couldn't support the wall?" ”

Zhong Yuanshan's body stiffened, but Cui Yi laughed first, strode forward to help him with both hands, and said firmly: "Second uncle, rest assured, my nephew will not live up to the expectations of you and the queen mother!" ”

The next conversation is really a plan, Zhong Yuanshan is worthy of being an excellent general of Da Chu, unlike Cui Yi, he has not been focused on training, all his skills have been honed in actual battles again and again, and he has considered the problem more thoroughly. He is almost twice as old as Cui Yi, and he has fought more battles than Cui Yi, and what is even more commendable is that he was born in Jiangzhou and was able to train and command the water division, which is unique in the Yanzhou camp, the three states in the south of the Yangtze River and the four states in the Central Plains have developed water systems, once the war starts, water battles are inevitable, with Zhong Yuanshan, Cui Yi's chances of winning have greatly increased!

Because he decided to help them, Zhong Yuanshan no longer had any reservations, unfolded the map and discussed with Cui Yi in detail how to gradually encroach on Xuanzhou, so that Yanzhou, Xuanzhou, and Jiangzhou could be connected in a line to form a stable rear to compete with the court. Many of his strategies against the enemy are unheard of and unseen, some of which have never even been heard of by Cui Yi, saying that they are discussing, but in fact they are tantamount to learning, Zhong Yuanshan made things difficult for them before, in fact, he himself has already thought of ways to deal with them.

The more the nephew and uncle talked, the more speculative they became, and Zhiying could still insert a few words from the beginning, but then he became a circle in his eyes, and he couldn't understand anything, and he had to sigh that the work of fighting was really not suitable for women, and he still honestly studied how to make everyone eat and clothe themselves, and fight with peace of mind.

"You talk, I'll go to the yard for a walk." After saying hello, she got up and walked out of the study, and let the two of them do their own research.

Jiangzhou is located in the south, the end of March is already full of spring, the peach blossoms in the yard are incomparably gorgeous, like pink clouds decorate the not too big yard, from time to time there are yellow finches poking their heads out between the flower branches, pecking a worm on the beak, flapping their wings and flying away, shaking off the petals of a place.

Cao Qian stood in the shade under the tree as a guard to prevent anyone with bad intentions from eavesdropping.

"General Cao," Zhiying walked down the steps and nodded to him, "Is there any news of the Seventh Prince?" ”

When Cao Qian heard this, he turned back to her and saluted: "Oh, not yet, the last general has already ordered them to continue searching, be sure to find people, just ......"

Seeing that his face was embarrassed, Zhiying asked, "Just what?" If there are any difficulties, it doesn't hurt to say. ”

Cao Qian was really distressed, so he said: "Since the seventh prince is leaving the capital for the first time, the last general thinks that he has taken the wrong road nine times out of ten, this person is vast, we only brought two thousand people, and one thousand went out to find someone, I don't know the direction and there are no significant features, it is simply looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

Zhiying sighed, Cao Qian's worries she had too, but how could she say this kind of thing to Cui Yi? Concubine Heqing died violently inexplicably, whether she died of illness or was given to death by Cui Jie is unknown, Cui Xiang is her only flesh and blood, Cui Yi can't ignore his life and death no matter what, he wants to see people in life and corpses in death.

"Does Madame know what characteristics the Seventh Prince has, or who he will turn to for help when he is in trouble? Otherwise, such an aimless search is really not the way. Cao Qian asked tentatively.

How could I know about this kind of thing, Zhiying thought helplessly, so he replied to him: "I don't know this very well, why don't I ask the prince in a while, their brothers grew up together, and although they have been separated for a lot of time, they should know a lot." ”

Cao Qian agreed, and when it was time for lunch, the two people in the study chatted about the same, and when they walked out together, Cao Qian stepped forward to ask Cui Xiang about his appearance and characteristics.

Speaking of which Cui Yi is really a careless brother, he was almost ten years old when Cui Xiang was born, and it can be said that he grew up watching his younger brother, but when Cao Qian asked, he raised his eyes and asked: "Characteristics?" What are the characteristics, not just a head, a face, a nose and eyes, what characteristics can it have? ”

Cao Qian couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart how to find this, so he listened to Zhong Yuanshan and said: "If the prince can't say any characteristics, it's better to wait until he arrives in Jiangzhou Mansion and let Lu Huan come to paint a portrait of King Jing, that child likes to paint since he was a child, especially good at painting people, and Mrs. Wang Ye told her a general appearance, and changed it while painting, and it was easy to find a portrait." ”

Zhiying asked curiously, "Lu Huan?" ”

"The cousin of the second uncle's family," Cui Yi said, "how many days does it take to get from here to Jiangzhou Mansion?" It's been half a month since Huaiyou disappeared, and if he has a bad day, I really won't have the face to see my mother in the future. Zhong Yuanshan comforted him a few words, and then went to ask someone to prepare the carriage and horse immediately.

Zhiying is a bit of a psychological shadow with her relatives, look at her own group, and then look at the Xie family's group, I really don't know what kind of girl this Zhong Luhuan will be, but don't come to another delicate lady, and then look at Cui Yi, it will be difficult to retreat when the time comes.

However, looking at Zhong Yuanshan's righteousness, I feel that the daughter he taught should not be a strange thing, the famous lady will have a little problem more or less, and she is not exempt from vulgarity, so she will not be demanding that others be perfect.

It is only a four-day drive from Mao County to Jiangzhou Mansion, and after entering the city, the carriage drove directly to the door of the Zhong family's old house, and all the old and young of the Zhong family who received the notice early in the morning were greeted at the door, and there were almost forty or fifty distant relatives.

When the Zhong family entered the palace, the old lady of the Zhong family was still there, and the golden phoenix flew out of the house, and the uncle and others naturally refused to split up, waiting for the light, there were only two brothers of the same generation, and the cousins were countless, and most of them were girls, and the surnames of the husband's family were varied.

After the greetings of the relatives on the side, they all dispersed, only the parents of the filial piety queen and the two elder brothers, including Zhong Yuanshan, and their wives and children stayed, Zhong Luhuan was naturally among them, and when she saluted just now, Zhiying felt that she was a well-bred girl, and she looked quiet and delicate, and she couldn't help but feel a lot more at ease.

"Lord Wang, madam, this is the little girl, and her name is Luhuan." Zhong Yuanshan made a gesture and asked his daughter to step forward.

Zhong Luhuan took a step forward, saluted generously, and said in a clear voice: "The matter of the Seventh Prince, Daddy has already mentioned it in his family letter, Lu Huan's book is not good, and he is willing to serve the prince's wife." ”

His posture is not coquettish or flattering, he is calm, he can't help but have a good impression of him, and he was about to say something to get closer to him, when he suddenly heard Cui Yi next to him speak first.

Cui Yi asked: "How old is my cousin, have you ever promised someone?" ”
