After staying for a while, Li Gong remembered and asked, "By the way, is there any news from the governor of Shaanxi?" ”

"You mean Sun Boya?" Speaking of this, Gong Dingxi's interest came, he took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "This person is also incomprehensible." When he was released from prison, he swore an oath and only said: The eldest husband must no longer fight against the prison officials, and he will not be victorious, and he should die. The result? Tongguan was not guaranteed, fled to Weinan, as soon as he saw the enemy soldiers, the surname Suo stopped fighting, and led a light horse to flee...... I heard that the Yellow River has been crossed. ”

"That's good, that's good!"

What Li Gong was most worried about on the road was that although Sun Chuanting was persuaded to do so, he would change his mind and refuse to escape. Or, willing to flee without success...... That would be a waste of the master's hard work.

It doesn't matter if he dies on his own.

At this time, when he heard that Sun Chuanting had successfully escaped, he was naturally very happy.

"What's wrong?" Gong Dingxin looked at him very attentively and asked, "You know him?" ”

"Ahem, when I was selected to serve in the Hong Army as a military attache in Beijing, Sun Junmen also said that he was out of the customs at that time, and Hong Shuai often sent me there to deliver official documents...... It's been years! ”

Gong Dingxin was relieved when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I see, I said, how can you care about him...... People who can't be beaten with eight poles. ”

After finishing the matter, Li Gong's expression was also relaxed, anyway, this is the way things are, and it is useless to be anxious. He looked at Gong Dingxin and asked with a smile, "Xiaosheng, aren't you planning to leave?" It doesn't matter if you civil servants take a leave of absence for half a year or a year. ”

"I don't plan to leave." If it were someone else, Gong Dingxin would either not disdain, or be afraid of it, or not be able to talk about it. But in front of this neighbor military attaché, he could still say a few words, he sneered, and said, "Where to flee?" Now they are all swarming south, most of Henan and Shandong have returned to the army, Shanxi can't go, Huguang is playing lively, so they all go to Jiangnan. Hmph, there is the Qinhuai River over there, ten miles of Qinhuai fat powder, hehe, this time, there will be a lot more gold customers. ”

He said it harshly, but it was also true, and there was a smack of self-deprecation in his tone. Gong Dingxi's own favorite concubine is Qin Huai's famous Gu Mei, beautiful, painting orchids, first-class poems, and even a collection of poems...... In order to marry Gu Mei, he put a lot of effort into it, and now he has fallen into the root of his fear...... No matter what, Gong Dingxin won't make Gu Mei angry!

"Originally, I took a leave of absence to go back and reunite with the children of the Restoration Society, and it was not a big deal. But my wife asked me: Can there be soldiers in Jiangnan, and can the emperor have a plan to move south? If not, we can go to Jiangnan, Li Chuang will also go, and when the time comes, I will have to escape again, I won't do it! Repeating Gu Mei's words, Gong Dingxi shook his head and smiled: "I can't say anything." ”

"Isn't there a Shi Ge Ministry? There are also two Liu and one Huang, the army of the three towns has 200,000 people, and then there is the left town of Huguang, and Jiangnan cannot be said to have no soldiers. ”

"Shi Gong is indeed a righteous man...... But Er Liu is a faithless, righteous and shameless villain, and Huang Chuangzi is Geng Jie's loyalty, but how useful one person's power can be can only be doubted. The important thing is that the emperor refuses to move south, which is the most important thing. ”

"Not now, but in the future."

"The emperor's surname, who doesn't know? Even if you want to, you will never admit it. He always counted on the ministers to persuade him to leave, so that he could step down when the time came. But in this situation, who wants to come out of this? Even if one or two courtiers come out to persuade them, as long as one or two more oppose it, it will not be a bad thing. Hmph, anyway, I'm not optimistic that the emperor can make this determination. So, if the ** of ten wants to be bad, where will you run then? It's better to stay in Beijing, anyway, which dynasty will have someone to come out to work and do things, with my Gong someone's literary ability, I'm afraid that I won't have a bowl of rice to eat? ”

If he wants to rebel so blatantly, Gong Dingxin also dares to announce it, and if there is nothing, it seems that he heard someone snort coldly.

Li Gong was also disapproving, and said, "Xiaosheng, there is wine." ”

"I don't have alcohol, I'm very sober." Gong Dingxin shook his head vigorously and said, "Big brother, I'm very sober!" Over the years, I have traveled through the south and the north, going back and forth between Jiangnan and Beijing many times, and I have been sad and miserable along the way, and I can't read more books. Cao Mengde's white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, is this situation miserable? What I have seen along the way, I have seen a lot with my own eyes in Henan! I have long thought that in the past three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, my luck must have ended, and I should be able to deal with such a chaotic scene, so why should I deal with myself? So I made up my mind a few years ago, and I just went along with it. Haha, anyway, there are no immortal dynasties in this world, there are many ministers who have died in the past and present, and there are many who have surrendered to the new dynasty, so many sages are here, and there are not many of me, haha......"

Gong Dingxin said that he was sober, but in fact, he had already drunk too much one cup after another, and at this time he was talking about wine again and again, and in the end, it was a "bang", and it was poured on the table.

"Shop, checkout!"

Li Gong's face was pale at the neighbor's words, and he just scolded secretly in his heart: "This son of a bitch raised it, and about the sage books are read in the dog's belly." ”

Originally, I didn't plan to pay attention to this person anymore, but after thinking about it, I sighed and asked the store to come to check out, and at the same time stretched out my hand, ready to send this drunk madman back.

Anyway, this guy is very single, what do you say. Although there is no loyalty, he is still a person. As for those who are watching the wind and looking at the scene, they refuse to do anything at all, only play Taiping boxing in front of the emperor, say exquisite nonsense, or use righteousness to obscure the emperor, flash the emperor here, and wait to present their names to the thieves...... Gong Ding's sin is still a little stronger.

As for those officials who fled south, Li Gong didn't look at it either, when the disaster came, he avoided it first, and then decided to act when the wind settled.

"Alas, state affairs are like this, I don't know what progress the master has made these days?"

If you hadn't been picked into the inside, if you hadn't heard Zhu Cihong's shouts and roars, if you hadn't heard the crown prince's painful dream in Wansui Mountain, if you hadn't been in those days, you would have been getting along with each other, undressing, and eating...... I'm afraid that Li Gong is also the same as ordinary people, or like these filthy officials, the danger of the Ming Dynasty is a matter of the above, let's just do our part, and when the time comes, it doesn't matter......

But now he has devoted himself to Zhu Cihong's side, he, Wang Yuan and others were originally people who escaped death after all the catastrophes, and their hearts were already cold, even if they were in the world, it was enough to work so hard. Who expected that the crown prince would personally elect them again, and slowly warm people's hearts, and now at this time, he just wished to return home early, Ming'er rushed into the palace early in the morning, and saw the prince early, so that his heart could settle down.

As for what Gong Dingsin said, of course Li Gong knows that it is very reasonable, but how can a husband act as a person, how can he go to the right side in everything?

If you make a mistake, you're just dying!

Only death, that's all.

At the moment when Li Gong was about to walk out, several short brown men also stood up and walked towards the door.

"Excuse me, settle the bill."

"A few old customers will have to ...... if they give twenty wen" The guy who rushed over pinched his nose and counted the money for these men first. The wine is useless, the dishes are not called, just a bowl of noodles per person, and the marinated garlic is patted underneath, such a shabby guest, it is better to send it away early.

"Brother Li?"

Li Gong gave way to the side and left the passage so that these men could go first, but unexpectedly, one person from the opposing team flashed out, short and stout, wearing a broken felt hat, which was very eye-catching, but the person leaned over to himself, and said with a smile: "Don't you recognize my brother?" ”

"Is that you?" Li Gong raised his eyebrows, not excited, and only said: "I'll know when I hear the second sound." But what are you doing here? ”

Wang Yuan's family has long been defeated, and now he lives along the East River outside the front door, where there are mixed fish and dragons, and it is not comparable to Xuanwumen.

"Look at who is ahead of me."

"What kind of important person can you have in front of you? Speaking of which, how do you dress up like this, if you don't come out to speak, I won't be able to recognize it even if you die......" Li Gong just laughed, meeting his own brother, he spoke as playful and funny, which was completely different from the restraint when dealing with literati like Gong Dingxi.

It's just that before he finished a sentence, Li Gong was already stunned.

Mixed in with a few big men, the head and body are a little short, but with a smile on his face, he knows the handsome young man with extraordinary qualities, who is he if he is not the crown prince?

"This ...... This, this, you guys are so daring! When he came back to his senses, Li Gong was already pale, looked at Wang Yuan, and said angrily: "What kind of thing is this, you have such a big stake?" ”

"It's the master, it has to be like this." Wang Yuan shouted and hit the sky: "What can I do?" ”

"This is not the place to talk, let's go out and talk." Zhu Cihong spoke at the right time and smiled at Li Gong: "We have something else here, but I met you." I always thought that it would take two days to come back, and now I will meet, and it can be seen that it is hard to go back and forth. ”

The words were very ordinary, but Li Gong listened to them, but he felt heartwarming, because Zhu Cihong didn't ask Sun Chuanting or Shaanxi news, and he didn't have false feelings.

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he looked at Gong Dingxin who was lying on the table, and said with a smile: "Although this guy is shameless, but it is also a downright, we don't have to pay attention to him, and punish him for lying here until he wakes up, which is a small punishment." ”

said, that is, the first to take the lead, the prince was in front, and everyone followed closely behind, rushing out.
