The young man stepped back slightly, holding his hands: "Don't be angry...... I said don't be angry, buying and selling is not benevolent, right? What's more, this time, you originally invited me, and the two countries are not at war, and it is not normal for the negotiations to break down? Besides, even if you kill me here, what's the use? If you kill me, whether it is the Mandarin Duck Butterfly Sect, the Southeast Martial Arts League, or the Lin'an Imperial Court, I don't know how many people are ecstatic, and then they will raise the name of avenging me and destroy your compassion...... Alas, with your vision as a fairy, you shouldn't be able to see this clearly, just make wedding clothes for others, right? ”

Fairy Ciyue's chest rose and fell a little, and the whole charm had collapsed with anger, and there was no grace to regain the right talent. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info she said coldly: "It seems that there is nothing to talk about with Gongzi." This is the last chance we give Childe, I believe it won't be long before Childe will regret today's refusal, but unfortunately, you won't have such a chance again. ”

"Alas...... Actually, your cooking skills are really good! The young man put down his chopsticks and sighed, "I really hope that Princess Shanshan can have such good cooking skills as you, so that one day, I will be able to eat her roast turkey." ”

Grabbing the folding fan placed on the corner of the table, he stood up: "By the way, what I just said is just a matter of sincerity. Actually, I want to say another thing more than your sincerity......"

He bent down and covered the face of the Ciyue Fairy: "You just said that with your help, I will definitely be able to rule the world?" Hehe! I want to rule the world, but I still need your help? You guys are really ...... I think so much of myself! ”

With a snap, he opened the folding fan, put his left hand behind his back, and left in laughter. Behind him, Fairy Ciyue's face was as cold as frost.

Leaving the Mirror Moon Painting Boat and taking Sun Ziluo ashore, Sun Ziluo said: "Childe, what did you say to the Ciyue Fairy of Cixinzhai?" Why can't Childe see you or hear your conversation after she enters? ”

Ning Jiang said: "It's just a little illusion of Zoroastrianism, which makes you worried." ”

Sun Ziluo said: "This compassion is really a famous hall made by Zoroastrianism? ”

"Well, I'm pretty sure she's the evil goddess of Zoroastrianism," Ning Jiang said, fanning, "but there's still something unclear. The good princess of Momen once fought with a woman named Ah Feng in the north, and she was also sure that Ah Feng was the evil goddess. Although I have never met that Ah Feng, according to the time calculation, when Ah Feng fought with Princess Good in the north, Fairy Ciyue was active in the south. With the eyesight of Princess Shan, she should not be mistaken, but if you say that Ah Feng and Fairy Ciyue are both evil goddesses...... There should be some hidden secrets in between. ”

The two returned to the team and met Ah Cai, Lei He Daoren, Xiao Dao, etc., and then went to Lin'an together.

In the past few days, the continuous autumn rain has continued to fall, almost without stopping. In the Tongzhou area, the large amount of destruction caused by the barbarian army when it moved south still left shocking wreckage, and there were more and more displaced people, and those who fled from the north and south also fled from the north to the south, and some were homeless after being deprived of their land in these days. Even within a radius of dozens of miles from Lin'an, there are still rogues whistling back and forth from time to time, and the government is inexhaustible.

The majesty of the imperial palace in Lin'an City is naturally far inferior to the imperial city of Haojing. However, Jiangnan was originally the land of fish and rice, and with the wealth of Jiangnan, after mobilizing a lot of manpower and financial resources for construction, the palace has become bigger and bigger, and at the same time, it has become more and more magnificent.

"There was a battle report from the west, the Mingshan Red Turban Army and the Miao Army had a war, the Miao Army was defeated, and once again suffered a big defeat, and the area around Rose Lake has completely fallen into the hands of the Red Turban Army." In a side hall, the right servant Lu Yuhao stood at the foot of the steps, reporting the battle in the west to the Son of Heaven.

Song Hong, the Son of Heaven, sat on the dragon chair, Fang Zi spread his eyebrows, and then frowned tightly: "Aiqing, this war ...... What do you think? ”

Lu Yuhao said: "Your Majesty, my Huaxia side, once again breaking the Miao Army, is naturally an exciting thing. But at this time, I'm afraid it's not necessarily a good thing. Now, the true identity of the Mingshan Ghost Military Division is known to everyone, this person is the Xiucai Baizi Jin of Chengyuan County, Gu Chu County, who was forced to leave the scene during the previous state examination because of the examination questions and the ancestors. He chose to join the Red Turban Army, presumably because he complained about the imperial court, although the Red Turban Army has been recruited by the imperial court, it is not under the control of the imperial court after all. Although there are broken grain armies guarding behind them, holding each other back, it is also a hidden danger after all. ”

continued: "In addition, Nanjian Xuan comforted Emperor Fulin, although he was edicted, he still hasn't left Jianzhou, I am afraid that he has different intentions......"

The Son of Heaven stood up abruptly and said angrily: "This beast, does he really dare to rebel?" ”

Lu Yuhao said: "Huang Fulin, I'm afraid he really has wolf ambitions. He secretly planned to build a sailor in Linghai, although it was secretly issued by His Majesty the first emperor Shenzong, but after His Majesty ascended the throne, he never reported the matter to the imperial court, and then sat back and watched the imperial court sailor be wiped out......"

Song Hong's anger surged, and after a while, he said: "Huang Fulin, this person, is the son of Zhao Guogong...... I knew him well in the past. He was not such an arrogant person in the first place, and he was selected to be the Xuanzhi of the Southern Sword Propaganda Division...... It was when Shenzong was in power, and what he is doing now is probably still being fooled and bewitched by others. ”

"No matter how many excuses Huang Fulin uses to delay coming, he doesn't dare to really pull the flag and rebel after all, not to mention that his daughter is still in Lin'an." Lu Yuhao said, "So, the key is still Ningjiang." Your Majesty is relieved that Ning Jiang is already on his way to Lin'an. As soon as he enters Lin'an, this trip will definitely let him go and never return. ”

Song Hong sat back on the dragon chair and said slowly, "Is he really here?" ”

"He didn't dare not come, he couldn't not come!" Lu Yuhao said gloomily, "Chen Songba and Chen Shaobao came with news that his master had personally taken action, and forced back Dai Ba, the strongest master of the Southeast Martial Arts Alliance, in two moves. With his ability, he can't block Mr. Mei Jian's three moves. Chen Shaobao assured that if Ningjiang did not come, his division would take action in person, and Ningjiang would definitely die without a place to be buried. ”

continued: "I'm afraid that Ning Jiang himself knows this, when he arrives in Lin'an, it will not be good for Mr. Mei Jian to do it at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if he continues to hide, not only will all the existing chips under him be cut off one by one, but he himself may also die in a wilderness that no one knows at any time." His appearance now in the open and honest makes it difficult for people to move him. ”

"In all fairness, this person Ning Jiang ...... It's still meritorious! Song Hong got up and paced two steps sideways, "Whether it is the total annihilation of the Mengyu barbarian army, or the elite soldiers who broke through the south......

"Your Majesty's words are wrong," Lu Yuhao said, "The Weiyuan Army fought with Meng Yu and made great contributions, Ning Jiang at that time was indeed the actual commander of the Weiyuan Army, and his merits naturally need not be said." But what role did that war play? Hasn't the capital been broken, and hasn't the abolished emperor and the civil and military officials been taken captive? There are even rumors that Ning Jiang deliberately dragged it at that time and did not go to the rescue of Jingshi...... I'm afraid this is true nine times out of ten. Na Ning Jiang was originally a high and powerful person, and after the abolished emperor ascended the throne, he saw through his ambition to deceive his superiors and subordinates, dismissed him, and wanted him, he could not have no resentment. How can the merit of breaking the barbarian army offset the great mistake of ignoring the comfort of the capital and deliberately sitting back and watching the abolished emperor be destroyed? ”

Song Hong shook his head and said, "Although there are such rumors...... But I still don't believe it......"

"That's Your Majesty's kindness." Lu Yuhao said, "As for the extermination, inspection, and cutting, the work of leveling the south of the Yangtze River, in the final analysis, what did Ningjiang do?" Where was he when the long river was in danger? Where was he when Lin'an fell? Where was he when the barbarian army conquered the city and the people were slaughtered all the way? In the end, it was the officers and soldiers of the Shenwu Left Army and the Nanjian Xuanwei Division who broke through the main force of Chacha, although the predecessor of the Shenwu Left Army was the Weiyuan Army, but in the final analysis, the actual commander was Ju Zhirong, not Ningjiang. Besides, they are the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, and it was originally their duty to rescue the Son of Heaven and defeat the thief army, if it weren't for their incompetence and coming late, how could they let Your Majesty be frightened all the way? Your Majesty is already too generous to ignore his faults and only talk about his merits. But in the final analysis, the soldiers are His Majesty's soldiers, and they will be His Majesty's generals, at that time, Ning Jiang didn't know where he was greedy for life and afraid of death, where he hid, how to cut and destroy, all became his credit? This person sells his reputation and reputation, greedy for heaven's merits, reads the sage book in vain, does not know how to be loyal to the king and serve the country, but is bent on building momentum for himself, and he clearly has a bad heart, Your Majesty must not be deceived by it. ”

Song Hong hesitated for a while: "Although I don't know much about Ning Jiang, I think about it, since the Divine Sect was so important to him at the beginning...... He should not be such a traitor. But that's what you say...... Alas, after all, this is just Lu Qing's words, you still have to ask other people's opinions. Tomorrow morning, in the court, you will tell the others what they say, and see what they have to say...... Alas, I still want to believe that he is good. ”

"In fact, these words are not the intention of the minister, for that Ningjiang, the hundred officials have already complained, since Your Majesty wants to make the hundred officials speak freely tomorrow morning, Your Majesty will know at that time."

"Alas, I hope it won't be as you say, Ning Jiang, even if it's useless...... After all, there is still talent! Song Hong waved his hand helplessly, "You go down, remember, tomorrow morning, just let everyone speak freely, and listen to it, I still know this truth." Although I know that you are dissatisfied with Ning Jiang, if anyone is willing to speak for him...... It should also be allowed. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Lu Yuhao bowed and said, "Weichen retreats." ”

Lu Yuhao withdrew from the hall, and Song Hong stood alone on the top of the Majesty's steps, his expression a little chilled. The surrounding eunuchs didn't dare to come forward to disturb, so they stood like this for a long time before he slowly turned around and walked away.

The autumn rain was still falling endlessly, and the ground was damp. A new and gorgeous palace, hazy in the rain. Raising his head, the devouring beasts on both sides of the eaves high in the distance looked hideous in the rain.

Song Hong did not take the dragon chariot, he wore a wide dragon robe, and walked gloomily under the corridor. Those eunuchs followed him cautiously, not daring to disturb His Majesty in the slightest.

His Majesty, when he first ascended the throne, was full of spirit, as if he had infinite energy. But this time when I came back, it seemed that everything had become different, in front of people, much softer than before, and when no one was around, it became more and more cold and silent. As for the eunuchs who followed His Majesty closely...... It doesn't actually count as a person.

Song Hong walked to the Hexin Palace, stood under the eaves, raised his head, and looked at it quietly for a long time. Then he didn't speak, sat on the dragon chariot, and entered the deep palace. It wasn't long before he stepped into a hall where the queen and Baotong's mother and daughter were talking.

"Father." Seeing her father coming, Princess Baotong hurriedly got up and saluted her father. The two chatted briefly, and Baotong hurriedly went.

"How did she come to say hello at this time?" With open arms, he let the queen and the palace maids beside her change into dragon robes for him.

"It's not for the sake of the little heron's child?" The queen smiled, "She wanted Her Majesty not to marry Xiaolu to Lu Xiang's son, but she didn't dare to tell you, so she came to me......"

"Tell her to leave it alone...... Heron...... It can also be regarded as our children, the marriage is a major event, it was originally the parents who are in charge, Lu Yuhao is now an important minister of the imperial court, and my humerus joins the Lu family...... It's also for the good of the child. ”

"However, I heard that Lu Xiang's son ......"

"The gossip outside, you people from the deep palace, don't worry about it, none of it is true." Song Hong sat on the dragon couch, "people's hearts ...... Anyway, it's all incomprehensible, good and bad...... It's like that anyway. ”

The queen didn't dare to say anything for a while.

"Speaking of which, where did the prince go? Why haven't you seen him much these days? ”

"These days, the prince and his friends often get together, talking about the major events in the Central Plains of Beiding in the future, and they look very energetic." The queen smiled slightly. was originally just the princess of Hexiang County, but now she has become the queen, and even her son has become the prince who will inevitably take over the treasure in the future, which is something she didn't even dare to think about before, and she can't help but be a little complacent at the moment.

"Hehe, but they're all bombastic children, and it's not a good thing to fool around with those people all day long."

"Well, I'll go talk to him......"

"Forget it, let him be," Song Hong lay down on his side, "Young man, I always feel that I can change something, as if there is nothing in the world that he can't do, and reality will always teach him to recognize it in the end." Besides, he was just a son of the world before, and at that time, we taught him all day long not to talk about state affairs, not to talk about things in the court...... Don't talk a word...... Not in his position, not in his politics. But now it's different, he's the prince now, his mentality turns too fast all of a sudden, and it's normal to be in a hurry, alas, don't say it's him, even I, at first, I couldn't hold my breath. In the past, when I was facing outside, when I saw this, I felt that it was wrong, and when I saw that, I felt that I could change it, but now I look back and look at the things left by my ancestors...... Many of them actually make sense! ”
