After waiting outside the house for a while, Fang Yu walked out with a package. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Always keeping Ji Feng in mind, Jiang Yun decided not to go to Jinling on the return trip. He went down the mountain and bought a sturdy horse from the villagers, asked Ling Bing to go back alone for the time being, and then retrieved the carriage and headed straight to the capital with Fang Yu.

In this way, Jiang Yun had to play the role of a coachman, personally driving the horse with a whip, and he couldn't let an old guy in his seventies do the work. But because of his identity, Fang Yu was inconvenient to stay in the carriage to enjoy it as a matter of course, so he simply walked out and sat side by side with Jiang Yun.

The carriage galloped unhurriedly along the official road. The road is quite wide, the bushes on both sides are still a short distance from the carriage, and there are few people on the lane, and there is no risk of having ears on the partition wall, Jiang Yun finally had the opportunity to ask a question that he is more concerned about. "Dao Chief, you give me the bottom, how many days does Your Majesty have left?"

Fang Yu looked ahead, and didn't want to reply lightly: "Ji Chongyang's longevity was originally seventy and five, but in the past two months, he has been taking pills, and his essence has already been overdrawn a lot, and he is almost exhausted. ”

One month? Jiang Yun's face immediately sank. It's too short! After ascending the throne, the vassal kings of all places are uncles, the elders and young are orderly, and the righteousness is in front, so it is strange that he can sit on the throne with peace of mind. I'm afraid that it won't be long before there will be a case of cannibalism and fighting each other.

The rest of the vassal kings, Jiang Yun, were too lazy to worry about it, but King Wu, was he ready? From the first meeting, Jiang Yun knew that this father-in-law had already begun to prepare for self-preservation. But Daddy is pressed on his head, and what he can do is very limited. Not to mention, the officialdom of Jinling alone has not yet been operated into a monolith. Don't say that January, even a year or two is still in a hurry.

And more importantly, the location of King Wu's domain is really poor. It is said that it is said that the Jiangnan region, in fact, it only spans Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with Jiangxi and Fujian provinces in the south, Anhui, Henan, and Hubei provinces in the west, and only one Shandong province separated from the capital in the north. Except for a trench on the Yangtze River, there is no danger to defend at all, and it is heavily encircled, and once a war starts, it will inevitably be a situation of multi-front combat.

Coupled with the success rate of the Northern Expedition, history has already given the answer, except for the ruthless Zhu Yuanzhang, there are no two cases to be found. But the problem is that Lao Zhu didn't start by fighting the Northern Yuan Court all the way, this ruthless thing is that he always stares at the Han people! Xu Shouhui, Chen Youliang, Fang Guozhen, Zhang Shicheng, one by one, they fought the Han people, basically not the Mongols. In the years of stuffy development, there was also Liu Futong, a green onion, who was tough with the Yuan Dynasty.

The family background is solid, and God gave him two big gifts, the internal conflict of the Yuan Dynasty army and the sudden death of Chakhan Timur. By the time Lao Zhu really made a move against the Yuan Dynasty, it was already a situation of equal strength and confrontation.

It is obviously impossible for King Wu to have such a way of luck, and the central army of the imperial court will not sit idly by and watch it grow, and the only reliance is the governor's mansion of the five armies. But in any case, the current situation is still very dangerous, and the old emperor will never die.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but ask, "If you don't care about the cost, how long can you prolong Your Majesty's life at most?" ”

"A year." A hint of mockery flashed at the corner of Fang Yu's lips, and he continued: "If he is willing to cultivate according to my method, there will be no problem in living another year. But there is no need to think about it, he will not agree, otherwise he will not let it go for five years and enjoy this mere two or three months. ”

"If you want to ensure his quality of life, what does quality mean? Let's put it this way, wine can be drunk, food can be eaten, women can sleep, how long can these three points prolong his life at most? ”

"Half a year at most."

"Only half a year?" Jiang Yun was a little unwilling. "I'm talking about whatever it takes, no matter how much money it costs."

"Lord, wealth is not omnipotent after all." Fang Yu smiled: "Do you know what the Rejuvenation Pill is? It is a real tiger and wolf medicine, a person in the twilight of life, but after taking it, he can be more energetic than ordinary prime-aged people, and the damage to the body can be imagined. When it comes to Ji Chong, unless it is really a godsend, half a year is already the limit. ”

After all, the time is a little rushed, but half a year is half a year, which is better than a month. With a lot of preoccupations, Jiang Yun lost interest in continuing to talk.

There was nothing to say all the way, and after a few days, the two finally arrived in the capital, and after entering the city, Jiang Yun immediately took Fang Yu into the palace to see Ji Chong.

It was still the imperial study, and the old emperor expressed a grand welcome to the old Taoist priest. After the little eunuch was cleared, he personally greeted him and politely brought Fang Yu into the house, and everyone, including Jiang Yun and Wang Li, was not allowed to enter the house. The emperor's physical condition, especially in terms of lifespan, is an extremely sensitive issue, and a slight leak is very likely to cause a lot of trouble.

Jiang Yun didn't know what the two talked about in the house, he waited outside the house for more than an hour, Fang Yu walked out of the house, and said lightly to him: "Poor Dao will stay in the capital for a few days, temporarily stay in the guest room of Honglu Temple, if you have anything, you can come to me directly." ”

After saying that, he drifted away.

Immediately after Ji Chong's call came from inside the house, Jiang Yun and Wang Li glanced at each other, and pushed the door in a little apprehensively.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" After a salute, Jiang Yun asked.

"I'm fine." The old emperor was in good spirits, but his eyes were full of tiredness, and he said lightly: "You did a good job this time, what I promised before will naturally count, you immediately go to the prison of the Criminal Department, pass on my message, and release Ji Feng." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Glancing at Jiang Yun deeply, Ji Zhong seemed to have something to say, hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "It's okay, as you said earlier, there is still more than a month to go, Yizhou Lu Xun will meet in Beijing, and it just so happens that the date of the imperial court's military exercise is approaching, so I pondered and simply got together to do it, and let Yizhou take a look at my Great Zhou Junwei. The position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is still taken care of by you, and the envoy from Yizhou will also want you to receive it. For the time being, let's not rush back to Jinling to take up our post, let's stay in the capital. ”

"Obey."

"And." Ji glanced at Wang Li again. "Go and call the grandson."

"Yes." Wang Li replied and turned back and retreated.

After he left, Ji Chongcai said: "Jiang Yun, you are more or less aware of my situation, and you are not allowed to publicize it everywhere." ”

"I don't dare."

"Yes." After thinking about it, Ji Chong said again: "The matter of the king, even if I can't help you, this matter must not be known to a third party, and the grandson has to hide it." For this matter, I am afraid that there will be a lot of estrangement between you and your grandson, and after I return to heaven and take the throne, I am afraid that I will not give you good fruits to eat, and I am sorry for you. ”

Jiang Yun stood with his head down, silent.

"You remember, after the matter of Yizhou is over, you will immediately go south and return to Jinling. I will send you a holy decree, and you will not be allowed to return to the capital again, even if the Son of Heaven summons you. ”

At this moment, Jiang Yun was faintly moved. He knew that this was basically the old emperor's last words, and he was not allowed to go to Beijing, which was actually the last maintenance of him. Maybe in Ji Chong's heart, Da Zhou will never be chaotic, and it will not be chaotic, as long as Jiangnan is the domain of King Wu one day, and there is a holy purpose, even if Ji Qiyun wants to charge him with something, he will definitely not be able to do it.

"Minister... Thank you, Your Majesty, for your maintenance. ”

"If there is no matter of determining the king, with your ability that has never disappointed me, you will definitely become the future minister of the Great Zhou, but unfortunately, the will of heaven is like this, and I have nothing to do." Ji Zhong sighed, waved his hand and said: "There is one last thing, from today on, except for the envoy from Yizhou, you should not touch the rest of the things, remember, anything, anyone asks you to do something, you can't pay attention." I don't need to enter the palace again on weekdays, and I won't see you again. That's it, go down. ”

"Obey."

The old emperor's words made Jiang Yun confused, but he was faintly uneasy, looking at this meaning, I am afraid that something big will happen in the imperial court in the near future.

What will happen?
