For many years, they have abided by the trust given to them by the old emperor, guarding the island, hiding the general's uniform that has been handed down from generation to generation, for many years, they have not changed this general's uniform, and the old general's uniform is not only a general's uniform for them, but also represents the heart of loyalty to the country in their hearts.

Now, in the face of the emperor's words, General Zhong had to silently look at the general uniform in front of him, the old general's eyes were already full of tears, he couldn't bear to take off his general uniform, this general uniform was left to him by his father, and his father was his father who would never leave him, from generation to generation.

General Zhong took off his hat from his head, and the eunuch who was already waiting beside him took it off, and he lifted the armor on his body, and the entire general uniform was taken off.

Wang Laohu looked at General Zhong who took off his general uniform, and General Zhong who handed over his sword, somehow, his heart was sour, if it weren't for him, they might still be holding on to that belief on the island, a belief that would allow them to continue to live, and a belief that could allow them to return to the court. Now there is nothing left, and the unforgiving reality has destroyed them.

General Zhong walked out of the hall lonely, he walked very slowly, and Wang Laohu saw his eyes, the eyes of a loser, the eyes of a loser.

Since the early dynasty, Wang Laohu has been thinking about this, and he has always felt uneasy in his heart, but the emperor has already spoken, and as soon as the holy mouth is opened, everything is helpless.

The overseas army is still in the three battalions, and the emperor has given them three days, and after three days, these people will return to their islands and live the life of their true island people.

The next day, Wang Laohu went to the three major battalions, this time, he went to see the overseas army, because this incident was caused by him, how they complained about themselves, Wang Laohu would not blame them.

"General Zhong." After meeting General Zhong, Wang Laohu said, "We have to respect the emperor's ideas, he has his own unavoidable hardships." ”

General Zhong didn't speak at first, and when he saw Wang Laohu, he didn't have a good face, although it was not Wang Laohu's fault, but Wang Laohu thought that he was also responsible.

However, a general who followed General Zhong next to him said: "King Ming Hu, our overseas army is a miscellaneous army, and it is not as good as your regular army or the Wang family's army. ”

Wang Laohu sounded a little sour when he said this, but this is an indisputable fact, the emperor has put his own men and horses into the court, but this overseas army is treated unusually, no wonder they have such thoughts.

"General Zhong, I didn't expect that the emperor would arrange this way, but the matter has come to this point and cannot be changed, General Zhong, you go back first, I will continue to persuade the emperor, I hope he will change his mind." Wang Laohu said.

"We appreciate the kindness of King Minghu. I remember you once asked me where we were going after this was done, and I also did a survey, and everyone could not do without the island, and the emperor just fulfilled us. "Whether he's true or not, that's a good statement.

Wang Laohu smiled bitterly and said: "General Zhong, you were originally away from all distractions, it was I who brought you back, if it weren't for me, you still have hope in your hearts, but now, the hope in your hearts has been extinguished." I'm also responsible for this. ”

"I don't want to say anything more? This matter is clearly there, and your people and mine are clearly distinguished. King Minghu, congratulations to the last general, we will meet indefinitely. General Zhong said.

Wang Laohu heard a sentence again after the indefinite period, the last time it was his lady who did not pass the door, because of some secular ideas, can not meet with Wang Laohu again, but this time it is the emperor who treats Wang Jiajun with courtesy, but to the overseas army is to cut the army for the people, such unfair treatment, naturally makes them hate in their hearts. "General Zhong! I understand your feelings, and I don't want to, you are the same as me, you have an important mission, when I know this mission, you know, he is like a heavy burden, weighing me out of breath, my father was killed by him because he disobeyed Liu Jin. I have been a wealthy family since I was a child, and I don't understand this matter at all, if the old patriarch hadn't told me, I wouldn't have fallen into this palace chaos, and I wouldn't have known that there were your overseas armies, and there were you General Zhong. Since you and I are people with the same mission, I also want you to be treated fairly, and I am also very uncomfortable with this situation. ”

"You are a celebrity next to the emperor, if you don't mean that, will the emperor send us to the people?" General Zhong said what was in his heart, and in their hearts, they already thought that Wang Laohu was the fault of this matter, and he arranged his own people, but he excluded the entire overseas army.

"General Zhong, I know that no matter what I say, you won't believe what I say, what I do, the current situation of the overseas army, it's really not what I think."

"Even if I believe you, my men won't believe you." General Zhong said.

Coming out of the three military camps, Wang Laohu did not become relaxed because of the conversation with him, on the contrary, Wang Laohu felt a sense of guilt in his heart. He didn't mean to let the emperor arrange his own people, just because these people couldn't play their strengths here, and some people from the Shandong Righteous Army and the Flower God Society wanted to give them a home, but he didn't expect that now he gave them a reason to hate themselves.

Wang Laohu rode a horse and hurried to the palace with Wang Biao, he wanted to see the emperor again, let the emperor take back his fate, and reasonably arrange the overseas army.

After the eunuch passed the message on his behalf, he came to reply: "King Minghu, the emperor said that it is inconvenient for him to meet guests today. ”

It is inconvenient to meet guests, this is not a reason, Wang Laohu thinks that this is the emperor's intention to avoid himself. Wang Laohu shouted towards the palace: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you let me see you, I have something to say to you......"

"King Minghu, you shout here, the emperor can't hear it, you better go back."

Wang Laohu stood outside the palace, and he also knew in his heart that the emperor did not want to see him at this time, and it was in vain to wait here. He could only come out of the palace.

Out of the palace, Wang Laohu did not get on the horse, and the snow fell from the sky and landed on his clothes. "Childe, this snow is heavy, let's go home first." Wang Biao said to Wang Laohu on the side.

Wang Laohu said: "Wang Biao, I still have some things, you go back to the house first, tell your wife, and say that I won't go back for dinner tonight." ”

Wang Biao knew that Wang Laohu said this, there must be his own business, so he didn't speak anymore, and said: "Childe, let me follow you." ”

"I'll go to a few places, I'll go back to my house immediately, it's cold, don't follow me, you go back to your house." Wang Laohu said.

Wang Biao went home first.

Cold days, snowy days, there are fewer pedestrians on the road, but Wang Laohu is still wandering on the road, not for anything else, just because the overseas army has been treated unfairly, why did the emperor do this, the same army that helped him, Wang Laohu's people were courteous, but the overseas army was excluded, he couldn't figure it out, he walked all the way, and the horse followed behind, and it was hot.

What's going on? After the victory, Wang Laohu did not have a trace of joy, is it because he has changed, after experiencing the Liu Jin incident, because he is proud of his merits, he wants to sway the emperor according to his own will? Wang Laohu thought that he was not so big, and some things were completely done according to his heart, just like the overseas army, they were loyal to the emperor and loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty should not treat them like this.

Dinh House.

"Uncle, I don't know anything and want to ask you for advice." Wang Laohu was puzzled and asked Lord Ding for advice.

"If there's something you don't understand, just ask."

"Overseas army, you and I both know that this team has been in the Ming Dynasty since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and it was Emperor Hongwuzu who ordered people to set up and protect the Ming Dynasty, but now the emperor wants to disband them, not to mention, but also cut them into the army, isn't this sad for the loyalists?"

Ding Guiren sighed first, and did not answer the question raised by Wang Laohu, he first talked about the matter of the early dynasty last time: "The emperor removed Liu Jin and other eight tigers, and wanted to make the world great, I think it is inappropriate, so I try my best to stop it." In this Manchu Dynasty, who else will persuade the emperor, only me and you. ”

Wang Laohu thought for a while and said: "The emperor has his own ideas, and the early dynasty had asked everyone to discuss together, what happened to these ministers, and why is it still the same as before." Do you think it's under the rule of the Eight Tigers? ”

"Wang Shisun, there are some things you don't understand. These civil and military ministers are looking at people's faces, the emperor has just regained power, and these ministers have been under Liu Jinmen for a long time, saying that they don't lean on the Eight Tigers, this is false, they don't make a sound, and they are also wise and self-preservation, for fear of being burned. ”

"What's the use of these ministers?" Wang Laohu was a little angry.

"A companion is like a tiger." Ding Guiren said, "Dahe is a double-edged sword in the world, and it is very beneficial, but it is not the time for Daming at this time. ”

"The emperor wants to be great in the world, I understand, I want to rule the world with benevolence."

"Wang Shisun, you may only know one of them." Ding Guiren stood up and said to Wang Laohu, "The emperor wants to be great in the world now, but he is completely bewitched by some people. ”

"Bewitched? Uncle, what do you mean by that? ”

"The most feared thing in the world is villains. You think that the emperor arranged your people properly because of your merits. ”

"Not because of my credit?" Wang Laohu said with some doubts.

"You are afraid that you will owe your subordinates, so you recommend to the emperor and let them find an official position in the court, and you are also relieved. However, the emperor is afraid that you will be overpowered, and he is not at ease when there are many people. Ding Guiren's words woke up Wang Laohu, his tens of thousands of people in his hands, it is also a double-edged sword, when the emperor wants to use it, it is to help the emperor, if he wants to oppose him, these people are enough to pull him off from his position, so the emperor arranged his troops properly, and arranged them to the whole Ming range, because he was afraid that one day his wings would be stiff and threaten his safety.

It turned out that it was not because of their own merits that they arranged these people. Wang Laohu suddenly realized.

"The emperor is no longer the little emperor he used to be." Ding Guiren said.

arranged his own people and put them everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, and the fewer people he had, the more beneficial it would be to him. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what does he think? If we help him in this way, will he not be able to see who is loyal to him and who is harmful to him? ”

"Wang Shisun, do you understand now, why did the emperor reduce the overseas army to the people? No matter how hard you exert your efforts, you can't turn the tide of the situation, and that's the only way to do it now. The emperor is also grateful to you to the top, and he is also grateful to you, for his sake, we will say less. ”

Even if he is wrong, don't we say it? Wang Laohu was very depressed in his heart, what was the matter. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you still so confused?

"It's almost the New Year, what are Wang Shisun's plans?"

"Yes, the New Year is almost over, and I'm going to celebrate the New Year in the capital this year."

"I think your mother is waiting for you to go back for the New Year."

"yes, what mother wouldn't want her child to go back." In Wang Laohu's heart, not only his mother, but also his other wives are also waiting for him to go back.

"Do you remember that in the early dynasties, Jiang Cheng undertook the water conservancy project in Suzhou, if my guess is correct, he wants to get a piece of the water conservancy pie."

Ding Guiren said this, Wang Laohu knew very clearly, from ancient times to the present, such work is some beneficial work, how much of the funds allocated by the court is used for actual water conservancy, and there is no decent supervision mechanism, no wonder this work Jiang Prime Minister rushed to do.

"As long as the water conservancy can be built and repaired, and the people of one side are benefited, other things can't be managed so much."

"I'm afraid that this Prime Minister Jiang is not so simple."

Ding Guiren said this, he has his own reasons, in dealing with Liu Jin's matter, he did not contribute at all, but he found himself a position as prime minister, what kind of person can get such trust from the emperor.

One is a meritorious person, obviously he is not; The second is a person who is good at flattering horses, does Jiang Ning belong to this type? Recalling the events of the early dynasty, Wang Laohu at least felt that he was good at observing words and feelings. Moreover, after thinking about it, the last time Wang Laohu went to see the emperor, he was also in the emperor's study, and he should have gained the emperor's trust.

"No more." Ding Guiren finally said, "The emperor doesn't trust us, but we are happy to relax and think about our old age." Such words seem a little sad and unwilling, but there is no way, the emperor no longer trusts Ding Guiren, no longer trusts Wang Laohu, and has his own ideas.

What was it that made him change?

Coming out of Dingfu, Wang Laohu's heart has not been sorted out, it should be said that he is constantly worried, and the reason is still chaotic. The snow was still falling, it was already dark, this cold day, there were fewer people on the street, Wang Laohu walked into a tavern alone, there were some people in the tavern, and the business was not light because of the cold on the street, Wang Laohu took a place and ordered some side dishes.

Drinking alone is even more sorrowful, and now the sorrow is not a family sorrow, but a national sorrow. Except for the Eight Tigers, they did not get the prosperity that Wang Laohu wanted, but instead, the emperor removed the army in Wang Laohu's hands one by one for his own sake, which is where Wang Laohu is depressed.

Candles, wine. Wang Laohu came out of the tavern and walked towards a red-lit place, which was the Yihong Mansion in the land of smoke and willows in the capital.

This night, Wang Laohu did not go back to the house, but stayed in Yihong Mansion in this land of fireworks for one night, Wang Laohu did not return home at night, but there was no night in the land of fireworks outside, wine, sorrow, through these two things, Wang Laohu chatted with Taohong in Yihong Building, talking about the ground, but also said some dissatisfaction.

Wang Laohu also didn't know what he said to Taohong, what he could say and what he couldn't say......

When he woke up the next day, Wang Laohu found that he was sleeping on the bed of Yihong Building, Taohong was also lying beside him, his head was a little painful, yesterday's wine had not dissipated, he got up from the quilt, and found that his clothes were no longer there, and Taohong was only wearing a belly pocket, and Wang Laohu was in the same bed.

Taohong also woke up, and she didn't look embarrassed because of this: "Prince Wang, you are up." I'll bring you a pot of water and wash your face. ”

Wang Laohu said a little embarrassedly: "Pink girl, I have something to do today, and I have to leave in a hurry." ”

"It's never too late to go, wash up, and go." Peach used her smooth body to lean against Wang Laohu's back.

Wang Laohu is not disgusted with Taohong, the two have known each other for so long in Yihong Courtyard, and they have always treated each other politely, and Taohong has also helped him, and he is not disgusted with her close to his back, he just said: "Today I have a group of brothers who are leaving the capital, and I am going to see them off." ”

"Brother Wang Gongzi, at this time, the one who wants to leave should have already left."

Unexpectedly, Wang Laohu's morning and evening wine made him sleep for two hours longer than usual. Wang Laohu thought in his heart, it was too bad, he drank and made a mistake. "Then I'm really leaving."

Wang Laohu picked up his clothes from the bed, put them on, and said to Taohong: "Girl Taohong, I'll go first." He put on a few pieces of clothing and hurried to the three battalions.

The horse is galloping, today is the day when the overseas army leaves the capital, Wang Laohu can't help much, he thought that he could give them a ride today, but he didn't expect that he was drunk last night, and with the company of beautiful women, he overslept over. By the time he arrived at the three battalions, General Zhong had already left.

This left a mark in Wang Laohu's heart, the overseas army, the overseas army he brought back, did not get the emperor's reuse, but was cut by the emperor for the people, when they left the capital, he was not sent to them as a guide, in his heart, this is his long-term regret.

Wang Laohu rode on his horse and stared blankly for a long time on the road they had walked.

When he returned to the mansion, the first thing Wang Laohu did was to find Zhang Zheng, and he had something to tell him.

Den.

"Feng Sheng's agent system, do you have a clear grasp of it?" Wang Laohu asked.

"Hui Gongzi, these people were originally trained by me, and I still know them well."

"Are there any of our people in the palace?"

"What do you have to say?"

"I know about Prime Minister Jiang Ningjiang's meeting with the emperor in recent days, and in addition, what the emperor has been doing in recent days, I also want to know." Wang Laohu suddenly asked the agents to investigate these things, and Zhang Zheng asked with some confusion: "Son, go to investigate the emperor?" ”
