In the room, the fire was blazing, but the three people sitting around had their own thoughts.

Yue Lei was silent for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Lord Wang, is Your Majesty's condition really incurable?" ”

"Yes, the imperial doctors in the palace are all the king's people, and the king is always concerned about His Majesty's illness every day." Chai Shuxia said, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Now he is already struggling!" ”

"Alas, I really didn't expect to suffer from this strange disease, Xia Guan has never heard of it......" Yue Lei talked about Ye Yu's strange illness, and his expression couldn't help but be a little complicated.

Kong Dexian hated Ye Yu for ruining the Confucian family's eternal foundation, and pulled his Confucian Confucianism down from the high altar of faith.

Today's national policy of the Great Song Dynasty is to use Qingliu University as a template for construction, and no longer advocate the single style of Confucianism.

This makes them, the Confucians who can only read and hyphenate, how should they deal with themselves in the future? Therefore, Kong Dexian's hatred for Ye Yu led to joining the camp of King Jin now.

And he, Yue Lei, now thinking back on the past, the more he reached the last moment, the more difficult it was to calm down, because he had hesitated.

He kept hesitating whether it was right to do this!

He joined the camp of King Jin, but he didn't have too much grudge against Ye Yu, he just wanted to regain the glory of his father's army.

But Yue Lei's wish has not yet been realized, and he has been suppressed by the imperial court again and again, and in the southern and northern expeditions of the imperial court, he strictly put an end to the reuse of them, the descendants of the Yue family's army!

Coupled with the suspicion that he married the rebellious Fu King back then, Yue Lei knew that he was afraid that he would be hopeless in this life.

Therefore, when Chai Shuxia deliberately wooed him, he became a member of the Jin King Party with a hot head.

Chai Shuxia didn't catch Yue Lei's strangeness, but said calmly: "Taoism has clouds, and whoever is the extremes of things will be opposed!" The length of life and the height of wisdom are a kind of relationship between the benefits of one and the other! Therefore, there is a saying that the wise do not live long. ”

"Therefore, it is not so much that His Majesty is suffering from an incurable disease, but that he is exchanging the length of his life for the fire of wisdom that is difficult to explain and difficult for future generations to reach!"

"Lord Wang, Your Majesty's illness has dragged on for so long, and it is also variable from the perspective of the following officials!" The corners of Kong Dexian's mouth showed coldness, and then he said, "In order to prevent long nights and dreams, it is better to ......."

At this point, Kong Dexian did not continue, but the meaning conveyed was already very clear.

"Humph! Master Kong, you are a murderer! Uncle Chai swept his eyebrows and snorted coldly.

Kong Dexian was suddenly a little flustered, and as soon as the words came out, he realized that his idea was too bold.

Facing Chai Shuxia's questioning, Kong Dexian forced himself to calm down and defended: "The prince misunderstood the lower official, and the lower official just couldn't bear His Majesty to be tortured by illness, so he felt it, and asked the prince to forgive him!" ”

Although it is a 'lost word' without careful consideration, it undoubtedly shows its heart!

"According to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, and the report of Liu Wuyue, the head of the chamberlain, Your Majesty can only hold out for another ten days at most, why does this king do this?" Chai Shuxia said, picked up the steaming tea, and couldn't help sighing: "Anyway, he is the queen mother's beloved son and the king's nephew after all......"

Next, the three of them discussed in the room for a long time, and after arranging their own division of labor, they left the palace in the evening.

……

In the capital, in Jiang's mansion, the lights are still bright, but the people in the study are gloomy and lonely.

With a creak, the door opened, and a middle-aged man walked in.

"Changjian, are the guests gone?" Jiang Fu's slightly closed eyes did not open, but asked the person in a vicissitudes of tone.

The person who came was Jiang Fu's third son Jiang Changjian, Jiang Changjian looked at his father's slightly trembling beard, and replied softly: "Yes, the child has already sent them away." ”

"They must have complained to you a lot, didn't they?"

"Uh...... Yes, Lord Shen and Lord Wang, they ......"

Jiang Changjian was just about to continue, but was interrupted by Jiang Fu: "It must be to complain about the injustice of degrading officials, and hope to unite to speak to Your Majesty?" ”

"Father is wise."

"Wise, ho, if my father were wise, he wouldn't be where he is now!" Jiang Fu laughed at himself, then opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Changjian, "These people will come to the old man as soon as they have something, who will the old man look for to tell?" ”

Jiang Fu looked at a hand-copied official document on the table, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt: "Now that the Jianghuai region is flooding, the state officials' reports are like snowflakes, but these officials who eat the imperial court are all taking care of their own futures, but they are turning a blind eye to these disasters!" ”

"Father is angry, isn't Lord Yue Lin Yue already ......"

"What's the use of that! Without the support of the imperial court, how many people can he Yue Lin save? Jiang Fu was indignant and slapped the table, "If he Yue Lin was not afraid of the Jin Wang Party, how could the old man be more than capable of strength!" ”

“……”

Jiang Changjian wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

However, this scene was really seen by Jiang Fu, who was as careful as a hair: "If you have something to say, don't swallow and spit out!" ”

"The child thinks ......"

"What do you think? Say! ”

The Jiang family, who has a very strict family education, Jiang Changjian has long been afraid of his father, so he naturally does not dare to speak out.

But now that his father has repeatedly persecuted, Jiang Changjian has plucked up his courage: "The child thinks that Lord Yue was not wrong at the beginning!" ”

"Huh?"

"The child dares to ask his father, if you are still in the position of Zaifu, do you really have the heart to take care of the people of Jianghuai?"

"Bold! According to your intentions, my father is not qualified to serve as a savior!? ”

Jiang Fu's angry reprimand forced Jiang Changjian to kneel directly on the ground: "Father is angry, the child is just telling the truth as an example!" ”

"You! ……”

"May I ask my father, in the first year of Chengtian, in June, the drought in the three states south of the Yangtze River was severe, and my father, as Zaifu, could he have dealt with this matter carefully?"

"Nonsense! As a father, it was ......"

This time, it was Jiang Changjian's turn to speak: "But that year, 60,000 people became homeless, if it weren't for the Jiangnan rice merchants to collectively settle the price of rice, how many people would starve to death in that drought?" ”

"This ...... Why does the government ......?"

"Official? Are there still fewer corrupt and hidden officials? Jiang Changjian opened the conversation, "These people are suffering from the people, what does my father do as a Zaifu?" The child remembers that at that time, his father was secretly fighting with His Majesty! ”

At the beginning, Ye Yu urged the imperial court to pay equal attention to civil and military, but Jiang Fu was secretly competing. So on the issue of drought in the south of the Yangtze River, Jiang Fu really didn't pay much attention.

In a speech, Jiang Fu was speechless.

"Lord Yue Linyue went to Jianghuai for disaster relief, even if it is a drop in the bucket, but it is also the attitude of a courtier, at least a hundred times stronger than in the court and the central government, who only intrigue and say inextricable Confucian remarks!?"

Jiang Changjian saw that his father was silent, so his tone softened a little: "Father Fang Cai also said that those officials who came to complain only cared about the promotion of their official positions, how could they ever care about the people of the world?" ”

In the quiet study, the atmosphere became solemn.

Jiang Fu's expression changed several times, but in the end he sighed long: "If you sit in the position of power for a long time, you will become interested, and your father often admonishes himself." But looking back on the past so many years, being a father has also lost his original pure heart! ”

"Father's ......"

Jiang Changjian raised his eyes to look at his father, as if his father was much older, but his cloudy eyes seemed to be bright.

"Changjian, don't say it again, my father understands that my father will help Yue Lin in disaster relief, although my father is now dismissed at home, but it can be regarded as a peach and plum all over the world, I believe it will help Jianghuai disaster relief!"

Jiang Fu paused, and then thought of something, "But the king of Jin intends to change the crown prince this time, and the father feels that it is quite strange, and he feels that this matter is not pure, so he ......"

Just as the words were finished, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in front of the window.

The low tone revealed the strange vicissitudes of life: "The authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear, defend the country and the people, don't forget the original intention!" ”

"Who!"

Without waiting for the father and son to react, a note fell in front of Jiang Fu.

The bookhead is like a blade into the wood, firmly nailed to the desk. By the time the father and son followed the prestige, the figure had disappeared without a trace!

"Father, I'm going to chase ......"

"Nope! …… Don't chase! Under the candlelight, Jiang Fu's eyes widened, stared at the book tightly, and said in a lost voice: "This, this is ......"
