Chapter 291: The sky has changed
It's going to change.
"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the way of survival in the place of life and death, must not be overlooked. But in my Great Song Dynasty, soldiers are dangerous things, if it is not for the northern captives to suppress the realm, I am afraid that the ministers will be eager to stop the soldiers, and it will be comfortable to hang the seal. ”
Meng Heng sighed, and the vicissitudes of life on his face became deeper and deeper: "I have millions of soldiers, and the military expenditure I spend every year is indeed too much, but what is really used in the soldiers?" If three of the ten pavilions can land, thank God. ”
He wanted to wave his hand, but his arm hung down weakly halfway up, and he could only say dejectedly: "Forget it, don't talk about this, it's freezing three feet, it's not a day's cold, it's useless to say this." ”
Wang Kui frowned deeply, and lowered his head in a deep voice: "My lord, it's not to the point of giving up, do you want me to talk to the two prime ministers, or go to court tomorrow, we ......"
"No!"
Meng Heng said sharply, because the voice was sudden, his chest was pulled, and he coughed violently, grabbed the white towel beside the bed, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Wang Kui and eldest grandson Hong were shocked, hurriedly stroked their chests and wiped their backs, and went to call the doctor in, but Meng Heng shook his head, angry as a gossamer, and told him very seriously: "Absolutely not!" The official family is already suspicious, if you come out for me, it is equivalent to confirming the rumors of my Meng family's party, the official family is angry, thunderous, although my Great Song Dynasty never kills ministers, but when it comes to the case of disobedience and forming a party, the official family will not be soft, it doesn't matter if I Meng Heng loses his office, and the people who are involved in the country are implicated, that is the fault! Remember, don't mention this matter at this juncture, the things that the court has decided cannot be reversed! ”
Wang Kui was almost choked, nodded again and again, the doctor hurriedly came in from outside, and when he saw Meng Heng's appearance, the dissatisfied Chao Wang Kui and Changsun Hong glared fiercely, meaning What did I say when I came in?
The house was busy, Wang Kui and Changsun Hong were about to withdraw, Meng Hui seized the last time, and said: "The position of the envoy of the Jinghu system, you must be able to control it, Wang Kui is in Sichuan, carrying the Mongols head-on, and you can't get out, I decided to recommend to the imperial court that Jia Yidao, the deputy envoy of the system along the river, take over, this person is a civil minister, and he will not cause criticism." I have also paid attention to the observation in the past two years, and intentionally taught him something, and he will run Jinghu, there will be no big problems. ”
After saying this, Meng Hui was almost about to faint, leaning on the pillow with straight eyes, the doctor almost kicked Wang Kui and the others away, and closed the door with a "bump".
Outside the house, Wang Kui lost his soul and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard in a daze, the autumn wind was whining, and the trees above his head were falling with yellow leaves, just like his state of mind, a sadness.
Meng Hui is his boss, and he is a mentor-like figure, in his heart, there is no second person who sacrifices his life and forgets death for the country and the king.
To a certain extent, Wang Kui is full of heart and blood, from a scholar with a pen to a military general with a knife in the war, it is under the influence of characters like Chen Longzhi and Meng Heng, and gradually grew up and matured.
The dragon follows the dragon, the tiger follows the mouse into a mouse, Meng Hui's achievements and personality charm have created today's Wang Kui.
However, such a god-like Meng Heng, after a morning's work, was pulled off the altar and deprived of his rights, and the town commander who was looked up to by thousands of people, and the general who was feared by the enemy, became an old man who was sick and bedridden and was on the verge of death.
The strong contrast gave Wang Kui a strong stimulus.
After the brain went blank, it brought a tsunami-like shock of thoughts.
Meng Hui, who has fought all his life and made countless meritorious contributions, got it like this. It's not fair.
Even when he was in a coma, he was thinking about the overall situation of the world and the safety of the country, how could such a person end up so miserable?
Is it really the danger of the master who is high in merit, and the death of the brave and powerful master?
That's not what the book says.
Wang Kui sat stunned, looking at a dead leaf that fell on the stone table, staring at it with straight eyes, as if that leaf contained the philosophy between heaven and earth, and could solve the doubts in his heart.
Changsun Hong sat down next to him and sighed.
"Master Meng's illness, it seems that it will not get better for a while and a half, the eldest brother must not mess up and miss the right thing."
Wang Kui nodded mechanically.
"Flowers bloom, clouds roll up, politics is like this, as a chess piece, I can't help myself, I hold you as a treasure when I use you, and discard the chaff when I don't use it, what's more, if you are trampled on the ground, you can squeeze the last bit of profit, then stepping on you will not make the person who steps on you hesitate."
He patted Wang Kui on the shoulder: "Lord Meng's last words are to cheer up your spirits and not live up to his expectations, Jia Rudao This person is not like Lord Meng who took care of us a lot when he was in power, the eldest brother should make plans early, and in the future, we may only be able to rely on ourselves." ”
His technique was a little heavier, and Wang Kui's body was crooked.
Wang Kui almost sat on the ground with his butt, only to wake up from his ignorance, he sat firmly on the stone table again, and his eyes returned to their usual clarity.
"You're right, Master Meng is not in Jinghu, Sichuan's difficulties will inevitably be more, Jia seems to be at odds with you and me, and sooner or later he will make trouble. This man is talented but not virtuous, and he has deceived people's hearts, so we must be careful and vigilant. ”
Hearing him say this, the eldest grandson Hongcai breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Kui has an upright personality, and it is easy to be rash, if he can't think of drilling the tip of the bull's horns to fight for Meng Heng and the rules of officialdom, he will easily be crushed.
It's good that he can say these words, which means that he is no longer entangled.
The gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and a group of Ningwu army envoys led by Li Tingzhi broke in with a roar, and everyone was scorched.
"Sick?" Li Tingzhi saw the two people sitting on the stone bench, opened his mouth and asked, the sweat on his forehead flowing along his cheeks: "What's the matter?" ”
Changsun Hong briefly explained the matter and said, "Now that the adults are critically ill, don't go in and disturb them first, and then talk about it when the situation is stable." ”
"How is it good? How good is that? When Li Tingzhi and the others heard this, they didn't dare to trespass, nor did they dare to speak loudly, but a group of people were in a hurry, just like Wang Kui's appearance just now, and they were anxious and couldn't do anything.
After half a ring, Meng Zhijing accompanied the white-bearded old man and walked out of the house, both of them looked worried, and seemed to be in a bad situation.
A group of people exhaled and surrounded them to inquire about the condition.
Meng Zhi made a gesture, thanked everyone for their concern, and said some words, please go back first, Meng Hui has already taken the medicine, fell asleep, and can't be disturbed.
Only then did the crowd disperse, sighing and sighing all the way, and their faces were full of sadness.
Changsun Hong and Wang Kui returned to their courtyards, and everyone in Xichuan still didn't know what was going on, and they were all indignant when they heard what the two said.
Changsun Hong persuaded for a while, the sky was getting late, and it was almost dinner time, and there was a door outside to report, saying that someone came to the door to see Changsun Hong.
The eldest grandson Hong wondered, in Lin'an City, he had no acquaintances, who would come to ask for a meeting?
He shouted to the crowd and walked out.
In the living room outside, Chen Yu was smiling and groaning, sitting on a chair waiting for him.
