The carriage slowly stopped in front of the main mansion of Dazong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ye Mengding slowly walked down from the carriage, Ye Jie was already waiting outside the gate of the mansion, and when he saw Ye Mengding coming over, he hurriedly stepped forward. The old man was in a hurry when he left, and he didn't even bring him, an old servant, which naturally made Ye Jie worried, and now he was relieved to see Ye Mengding come back.

"Applejack, you're tired." Ye Mengding walked up the steps while leaning on crutches.

Originally, Ye Jie subconsciously wanted to reach out to help Ye Mengding, but later found that he was holding the same crutches as Ye Mengding in his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This man will grow old and return to dust.

This sky is now the sky of the Ye family, and it is already the sky of the Ming Dynasty. But the two founders of the Ye family are already dying.

"Xianggong, Yun Niang is back, just waiting for Xianggong inside." Ye Jie waited until Ye Mengding approached, sent the maidservants and attendants beside him, and said in a low voice, "This girl came in a panic, and she went to the back door, the old man realized that something might have happened at that time, so let her stay in the back study and not show up easily, please make a decision on the details." ”

Raising his legs and stepping over the threshold, Ye Mengding took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "Something happened, it was indeed an accident, and it was a big deal." ”

Yun Niang is the maiden name of the Ye family's daughter, and she is also the main wife of Zhang Shijie, the secretary of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, Yun Niang suddenly came over, so what happened, Ye Mengding knew it. It's just that he didn't expect that Yun Niang's movements would be so fast, and she would come to him in such a way, and nine times out of ten it was to stabilize herself.

Before, Chen Zongli let himself meet with Wen Tianxiang in the name of the Ministry of Rites, but the front foot left, and the back foot Yun Niang arrived at home, all the operations were smooth, and all the people who might be used to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty had been dispatched.

At this moment, Ye Mengding only thought of four words: he had been planning for a long time.

It can be said that his unpredictable child released the tone of civil service system reform, and nine times out of ten it was to lure the snake out of the hole. Those people have been depressed since the establishment of the new dynasty, and even the opportunity to steal chickens and dogs before is gone, it is impossible to say that they do not have the slightest dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty, and Ye Yingwu obviously does not intend to continue to leave these hidden dangers.

This is the consistent style of his youngest son, as long as he makes up his mind, he will do it directly, and he will not give up until he completely cuts the grass and eradicates the roots, as for what balance and stability, for Ye Yingwu, this is only limited to those who are loyal to him.

Even Ye Yingwu did not hesitate to go north to leave Wen Tianxiang to sit in charge of the overall situation, and wait until those people did it before closing the net, just to avoid the fish that slipped through the net to the greatest extent.

Ye Mengding's cane gently tapped the ground, with a smile on his face, and even greeted the servants around him, obviously in a good mood. And it wasn't until he walked into the backyard that Ye Mengding's face suddenly became serious, and even Ye Jie confidently saw the blazing look in Ye Mengding's eyes.

The old man stood in the breeze, his back slightly arched, like a lion ready to pounce on his prey. It seems that at this time, Ye Mengding is no longer the old emperor and the great Zongzheng of the Ming Dynasty, but the figure of the Dao who stood on the court and was high-spirited, facing Jia Yidao, every word knocked on the ground, and it was deafening.

"My daughter has seen her father." Yun Niang heard the sound outside and hurriedly walked over.

Ye Mengding nodded at the eldest lady of the Ye family, and said in a deep voice, "Why did you let you come over?" Could it be that the layers of soldiers and horses outside can't protect the safety of the old man, and the dignified military department can't protect the safety of his wife and concubine? How to come and go like this without arousing suspicion? ”

Yun Niang looked at her father's mighty appearance, and suddenly chuckled and stepped forward to hold his arm: "Daddy, you are too worried, it was your daughter who came here voluntarily." People with the blood of the Ye family in the city are naturally the most likely to be hijacked and used, and the main ones are the father, the eldest brother and the prince, and now the eldest brother has entered the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites is backed by the political hall. However, Daddy is far away from the imperial city, so it is inconvenient to come and go, so the rebels are likely to attack this place directly. The daughter was afraid that her father would be lonely in the waves, so she came to accompany her. ”

Shaking his head, Ye Mengding said lightly: "Although your father's bones are old, he still understands what he should do at a critical time." People have lived this life, and no matter whether they succeed or fail in life, at least they are not confused. ”

The clouds had already pressed down from the south, enveloping the whole city of Nanjing in a gloomy sky, but there was still a touch of sunlight tearing through the dark clouds and spreading warmth to every inch of land. At least this is still the country of the Ming Dynasty, at least this is still the world of the Ye family. Although Ye Mengding knew that he was once Song Chen, he knew that he was now the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the Great Zongzheng!

Yun Niang couldn't deny it, and helped Ye Mengding into the study, and Ye Jie slowly followed behind, waiting outside the door, the backyard was full of old servants of the Ye family for many years, and even many people watched Ye Yinghe and Ye Yingwu brothers grow up.

Over the years, the Ye family has experienced turmoil and sinister, whether happy or sad, and has never seen any battles, so even if the sky falls, I am afraid that it will do something!

Yun Niang diligently brought a cup of tea to Ye Mengding, looked at her father, who was obviously older than before, and whispered: "Daddy, don't you still want to live in the palace after all?" ”

Although Ye Mengding was crowned the emperor, and a palace was specially built for him in the palace, Ye Mengding just didn't move over, resulting in the Chen family, who couldn't worry about the old man in the family and didn't want to be separated from his grandson, so he could only run around at both ends every day.

Facing his daughter's gaze, Ye Mengding's hand holding the teacup slowly let go: "Did Yuanlie ask you this question to the old man?" ”

"No, it's my daughter who wants to ask." Yun Niang immediately replied, cutting the ice and snow.

After being silent for a long time, Ye Mengding spoke, and his voice was very low: "This world is the world of the Ye family, and this country is the country of the Ye family, but in the final analysis, the old man is still a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty. The old man's heart, for the dissipated Song Dynasty, beats so far. ”

Yun Niang looked at Ye Mengding's wrinkled hands, and felt a pain in her heart for no reason.

She can also understand the mood of these old people in the former dynasty, they have struggled with Jia Nidao for a lifetime, and when they were about to fail, Ye Yingwu was born, and with shocking victories again and again, he directly walked to a position that could shake Jia Nidao, bringing long-awaited hope and light to these old men in their twilight, but they didn't expect that Ye Yingwu did not become the reincarnation of Zhou Gong as they imagined, assisting the Great Song Dynasty that they had spent their lives on, but did not hesitate to destroy everything and overthrow everything, Now even the civil and military system of the former Song Dynasty has been turned upside down by him.

Ye Yingwu gave them hope that they shouldn't have, and then shattered it all. But Ye Mengding and Jiang Wanli no longer have the strength to resist, and they don't even have the heart to refute, after all, Ye Yingwu has come to this point, and several of them are actually "great".

So these old people are like ostriches with their heads buried in the desert, choosing to turn a blind eye to everything, and let him go. But who would have thought that after all, there are still people who can't sit still, and after all, there are still people who want to destroy this brand-new and vibrant Ming.

Fingers lightly tapped on the table, Ye Mengding's voice was low, but with a strong sense of strength: "Even so, the old man knows what Yuanlie has done to this land and what he has done to this dynasty." He realized his dream of returning to the north for a hundred years; Shengmin Leqiao Su's wish, he is doing his best to make it a reality. He is for the people and the Ming Dynasty, not to satisfy his own selfish desires. That's enough, enough for us old bones to stand aside and watch him go down. ”

After a pause, Ye Mengding's voice became smaller and smaller: "No matter how far we go, it will be better than what we walked back then, much better······"

"Daddy." Yun Niang called softly, the first time she heard Ye Mengding talk about their contradictory but practical thoughts on behalf of these former ministers, a complicated look flooded her heart.

Raising his head and subconsciously glancing out the window, Ye Mengding said lightly: "Yun Niang, look, there are already black clouds crushing the city outside." ”

As if he wanted to respond to Ye Mengding's words, a gust of wind blew in his face, carrying the dampness in the soil.

Casually closing half of the window, Ye Mengding said in a deep voice: "Since you are here, Yun Niang, you can stay here and talk to the old man." ”

Yun Niang nodded, but heard Ye Mengding continue to say a few words.

"This rain will fall; On this day, it can't change! ”

The old man has lost a lot of teeth in his mouth, and it is rare to say such a few words clearly, as if they are coming from the dantian, from the chest and abdomen, with a long rhyme, and it does not disperse.

Yun Niang subconsciously raised her head slightly, as if she saw the voice for a long time and then rushed straight out of the window with the wind, and rushed straight to the thick clouds that pressed the city, and rushed straight to the nine heavens! In between, Yun Niang felt the strong killing intent emanating from her father for the first time.

The old man allowed his dreams to be shattered, but he would never allow this thriving country and nation to be trampled on again!

——————————————————--

Sitting in the private room, Zhao Wei's hands trembled slightly.

Outside the city was overcast with clouds, and it was obvious that the first rainstorm of early summer would soon fall on the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

But now Zhao Wei's attention is not on the scenery of Nanjing City outside, nor on the dark clouds that are rolling heavily and spreading to this side, he has been staring at the table, not only his hands are shaking, but his whole body is shaking unconsciously.

In all these years, he had never been so nervous as he was at this moment today.

Reluctantly picked up the teacup, the hot tea kept shaking, and even splashed on his hands and snow-white sleeves, but Zhao Wei was unmoved, still pulling the teacup to his mouth hard, and took a sip fiercely, not even caring about the pain of the hot tea burning in his throat.

It was as if only this pain could make him sober.

The door of the private room was carefully pushed open, and a young man walked in slowly, glanced at Zhao Wei, hurriedly walked down, and said in a low voice: "Governor Zhao is really punctual. ”

Zhao Wei reluctantly smiled at him, suppressing the panic in his voice: "How are your people preparing now?" ”

"This Zhao Governor can rest assured that when the time comes, the manpower of my family will rush directly to the Ministry of Rites, and there will be a meeting with the Ministry of Rites later today to discuss the etiquette system when the person returns from the north, so as a waiter, Ye Yingji will inevitably be there. As long as we can control Ye Yingji, we have a good puppet. The young man's voice was very low, but it was obviously calmer than Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei rubbed his hand that had been burned by the tea just now, and nodded and said: "The servants in my family can gather thirty loyal people, and they will all obey the dispatch of your husband when the time comes, but most of these servants are old and weak, and I am afraid they will not play a big role." ”

"It doesn't matter how many servants there are, it's just a bluff and help disrupt the order, and in the end it's the outlaws we hire outside." The young man stared at Zhao Wei's eyes and paused, "Governor Zhao is scared?" ”

Zhao Wei was slightly stunned, and his fingers were intertwined: "This matter is very important, and I am a little nervous, but it makes you laugh." ”

"Well," the young man nodded, "This is also reasonable, as long as Governor Zhao does what we have planned, it will naturally be foolproof." And after the matter is completed, the fame of Zhao Zhifu's ability to help the crisis and resolve difficulties will naturally not be able to run, and it is worth fighting for fame and fortune. ”

Zhao Wei snorted, and just wanted to speak, but the young man stood up and glanced out the window: "The six doors and the Jinyi Guard have many eyes and ears in the capital, and we didn't attract their attention when we asked ourselves, but it's always good to be cautious." This place should not stay for a long time, after I left, Zhao Zhifu also left quickly, and he became famous, just tonight. ”

Before the words fell, the young man had already left quickly without waiting for Zhao Wei to answer.

And Zhao Wei opened his mouth slightly, but didn't say anything.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang outside, and the dark clouds of black pressure were torn open by the electric light, and the rolling thunder poured down like the wrath of the gods.

Zhao Wei shivered, but did not leave.

The wind howled outside, and the door to the private room was opened again. A shopkeeper walked in hunched over: "Guest, what else do you want?" ”

Zhao Wei glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Is there still a good Taihu Lake Xiaodongting Biluo Spring?" ”

"Of course there is, a batch has just come after tomorrow, and the taste is good." The shopkeeper replied with a smile.

Exhaled, but Zhao Wei's voice still couldn't hide the trembling: "You all saw that person just now?" ”

A smile flashed at the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth: "Zhao Xianggong can rest assured that a group of small fish and shrimp are still delusional about what kind of wind and waves will be set off in Nanjing." Not long after the world was peaceful, these guys began to know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and this time it was just the right time to teach them a lesson. ”

After a pause, the shopkeeper said softly: "Zhao Xianggong is really indispensable this time, the head of my family said, when the time comes, the credit will be indispensable, and in front of His Majesty, he will naturally say a lot of good things for Zhao Xianggong." However, Zhao Xianggong continued to stay here, which would cause some suspicion, so Zhao Xianggong quickly returned home, and when the time came, someone would connect with Zhao Xianggong. ”

Zhao Wei nodded and stood up.

He didn't know which was right or wrong for him to do this, but he knew very well what those people wanted to do, throughout the ages, rebellion and punishment of the nine clans have always been the same word, and compared to taking risks and winning a wealth that is still hanging on words, Zhao Wei hopes to help the stronger side and make their victory easier.

At least that way, it's easier to save your life.

Standing upstairs, looking at the figure of Zhao Wei leaving, Yang Feng didn't say a word. And a commander standing next to him lowered his voice: "Boss, I have sent two people to change just now, but that guy looks very vigilant, and there is a chance that he will be lost." ”

"If you lose it, you lose it." Yang Feng shook his head and walked straight downstairs.

"But the boss ······" The commander hesitated.

Glancing back at him, Yang Feng said lightly: "If you know what they are going to do and how to do it, this is enough, and the net laid by a certain person will not change because of the identity of the prey." What's more, at this time, it's too late. ”

"Boom!" Another muffled thunder exploded in the sky.

The wind was blowing, accompanied by the sound of howling rain.

This heavy rain came as promised.

Yang Feng's gaze fell on the torrential rain pouring outside the teahouse:

"It's a good time to kill people when you go down to the West Building full of wind and rain." (To be continued.) )
