Chapter Seventy-Eight: Forced Maintenance (II)

The topic turned to the subject country, and He Ran had something to say.

He first showed an annoyed expression, and then said: "I am worried about the establishment of a vassal country, the Son of Heaven does not allow Li Ping to establish a country, and my king has sent envoys to plead so far There is no reply, it really can't I can only go in person, anyway, this place is not far from the imperial capital." ”

"Do you want to force the capital to coerce the Son of Heaven?" Mo Ju raised his eyebrows and asked.

He Ran snorted lightly and said, "Sweep the Zhao Realm to the west, and then garrison the border, and then see if the Son of Heaven will give me Yi Guo's face." ”

Mo Ju took a leisurely sip of tea with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't take his words about the military to commit the capital seriously, or didn't believe that he would do that at all.

He Ran also picked up the teacup, blew the foam lightly, rolled his eyes and glanced at Mo Ju and said, "Speaking of which...... I have to ask my brother, there is nothing to do with you here, right?" I still can't figure out why the Son of Heaven is so abnormal here in Li Ping. ”

Mo Ju seemed to have expected him to ask like this, put down the teacup, and replied as usual: "There is something about me." ”

Seeing him admit frankly, He Ran frowned and said, "Brother is talking about ......"

Mo Ju nodded and said, "Yes." ”

He Ran immediately became angry, and then was full of grievances and helplessly cried and asked with a sad face: "Brother, why is this?" Brother should know that I am supporting Li Ping, why can't you get along with your brother! ”

Mo Ju looked at him like that, smiled faintly, and said: "Since you are your own brother, you don't need to act, with your intelligence, you should have thought that there is something about me here, not only that, but also why I did this, do you want me to make it clear?" ”

He Ran blinked at him, his wide open eyes gradually narrowed, and said, "I thought that there might be a brother here, huh...... The elder brother is embarrassed by the younger brother, but because of the new deal? ”

Mo Ju snorted and said, "You know that your heart is tight, what else can you do for?!" ”

He Ran let out a long breath of frustration, and the whole person withered like a balloon with the exhalation of this breath, looking at a few cases, looking completely unlucky.

Mo Ju said earnestly: "Brother Xian, it's not that I want to embarrass you, it's because of this new policy disaster like fire and water, not only me, people of insight in the world are worried about it, don't think that it is my idea not to allow Li Ping to establish a country, the voice of opposition to you in the capital has long been boiling, all for your new policy, the new policy makes the monarch and the minister disorderly, and the dignity and humility do not exist, who dares to let you push the new policy forward, brother Xian, you are a person who understands, you can't be confused in this matter, listen to the foolish brother's advice, No matter how difficult it is, the New Deal must be taken back. ”

He Ran stood up silently, untied his wide clothes and threw off his long shirt.

Mo Ju looked at him in confusion and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing here?" ”

He Ran took off his dirty clothes on one side, turned his naked back to him, and asked, "Brother can see the wound on his back?" ”

Mo Ju looked at the frightening scar on his back and said, "See, if you have anything to say, put on your clothes first, don't catch a cold." ”

He Ran got dressed, sat back in front of the case, and said: "Since the last meeting with my brother, the younger brother has never dared to forget his brother's teachings and warnings about the new policy, and he has been thinking about how to take it back, but I don't need to say that my brother should also know that since I went back, I haven't had much leisure, destroying the Shun country, helping the country, and never having leisure." ”

Mo Ju closed his lips tightly and nodded slowly, motioning for him to continue.

He Ran turned his back and pointed at the back, and said: "When the kung fu is finally accommodated, the younger brother immediately made a private visit to observe the people's feelings, and wanted to evaluate how much trouble it would be to withdraw the new policy, maybe the news leaked, the people thought that I was about to change the government, and they attacked it in anger, and they really wanted to put me to death, thanks to the desperate resistance of the guards, the little brother was able to escape, and this sword behind almost took the life of the little brother!" ”

Mo Ju frowned and stared at him and said, "The people knew that you were their military advisor at that time? ”

He Ran smiled bitterly: "If you don't know, maybe you won't be so ruthless, you have been bewitched by people with ulterior motives, and they are convinced that I am here to take back the new policy, so I will defend the new policy at the cost of death." ”

Mo Ju looked at him quietly, as if to evaluate whether his words were credible, and said after a while: "I don't know much about your new policy, I want to send some cronies to Yi Country to have a look, maybe the virtuous brother can do this?" ”

He Ran hurriedly said: "Look at what my brother said, of course you can, you can send as many people as you want, you can walk casually throughout the territory of Yi Guo and ask casually, if you need me to send someone to accompany you, I will send someone to accompany you, I will not add the slightest restriction if you want to visit secretly, I wish my brother could go and see it in person, so that I can understand the difficulties of the younger brother, the younger brother doesn't want to break his promise, after taking this sword, he really doesn't dare to accept the new policy lightly." ”

Mo Ju's face was not as calm and calm as it was at the beginning, and he frowned and fell silent.

He Ran said in a begging tone: "Li Ping's side let him establish the country first, only by establishing the country can the people be stabilized, and now he is not easy to govern if he is not right, brother give the younger brother a face." ”

Mo Ju looked at him and said in a firm tone: "It's okay to establish a country, as long as he doesn't work in the new policy, I will immediately play the Son of Heaven to give him the title." ”

He Ran snorted his teeth, looking very embarrassed.

Mo Ju said: "This is not negotiable. ”

He Ran said with a bitter face: "Brother, this is really embarrassing for me, as the saying goes, 'Don't suffer from widowhood but suffer from injustice', Dongchuan has implemented a new policy, and the towns I occupied along the way have also implemented a new policy, but Linchuan who is not allowed to surround the middle to carry out a new policy, how can the people there agree?" This is a subordinate country, it's a disaster, and the only thing left to do is go there to quell the chaos in the future, the elder brother is proficient in government affairs, and he should know that what the younger brother said is true. ”

Mo Ju was in trouble, his concerns were not unreasonable, his own request was indeed difficult for him, he pondered for a while, he said: "I can ignore Li Ping, but the area close to our side is not feasible. ”

He Ran shook his hands and said: "Isn't this a truth, the people in the land where the new deal is not good will inevitably make chaos in the future, or else, after the boundary is demarcated, I will move the people inward, leaving a hundred miles of wilderness areas, and those who trespass will be beheaded, if my brother thinks it is not enough, you can also move the people on your side inward, so that there are two hundred miles of territory apart, and the people on both sides will not get along with each other, okay?" ”

"I'll think again." Mo Ju was annoyed and moved his gaze to the geographical maps on several cases.

He Ran said with a smile: "In fact, the new policy is not as they say, what makes the monarch and ministers disorderly, respect and humility do not exist, our king lives a free life, although he does not want to manage government affairs, but the big and small things still have to be sent to the palace for approval, he shook his head, no one dares to disobey the order, although the treatment of the officials is not as good as before, but it is not bad, the most ......"

Mo Ju waved his hand to stop him and said, "I don't want to listen to this first, after my people have learned more about the report, I will have my own comments." ”

"Then it's better for my brother to send someone tomorrow, or else, when the Queen Mother comes, I'll try to ask her to allow my brother to visit Yiguo in person, seeing is believing, and my brother thinks it's good?"

Mo Ju hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, remember, you must not make such a request to the Queen Mother, I don't want to give people a handle and leave room for suspicion." I can't compare to you, even if you surrender to Xiping, King Yi and his colleagues will not be suspicious when you come back. ”

"Oh, forget it, my brother has some concerns, then I won't have much to do, uh......, I will entrust the affairs of the state to my brother, don't let them bother me again, my brother knows that the younger brother is a lazy person, I really don't bother to care about these troubles, I'm angry, I don't dare to mess with my brother, but I dare to lead troops to the capital, and without the Son of Heaven, there will be no troubles."

Mo Ju stiffened his face and warned: "You'd better not say it, even in front of me, you shouldn't say these disobedient words, if such words get out, it will be difficult for you to wash away the name of the thief." ”

He Ran didn't care and said, "What if it gets out?" Xiping is an enemy and not a friend, staying in the country is insignificant, is it possible that the elder brother will crusade against the younger brother? ”

Mo Ju looked at him unhappily and said, "Do you have to make a public resentment boiling?" I'm just a courtier, and I can't be the lord of Kangguo. ”

"The Queen Mother won't bother with me because of this, hahaha."

Mo Ju's eyes became stern, and he said, "Don't always mix public and private, you'd better not think about the matter of soldiers committing crimes in the capital!" ”

He Ran pretended to be arrogant, but in fact, he intended to use this to tempt, and when he saw Mo Ju change color, he hurriedly showed a smirk, and said: "Yes, yes, the younger brother remembers the teachings of his brother, hehe, don't dare to talk nonsense in the future." ”

Mo Ju was helpless by him, although he was his sworn brother, but after all, he was the military advisor of Yi Guoquan, and the brother of King Fan, even in Kangguo, he also had a very high reputation, such a person was willing to be scolded by himself, and he was smiling hard, what else could he want him to do.
