In the Tang Mansion, Tang Ning sat in the pavilion, holding a copy of "The Theory of the Ping Kingdom" in his left hand, holding a purple sand cup in his right hand, and reading it with relish. Not far in front of him, six teenagers and girls who had come to study sat on the ground with their eyes closed.

Among the six people, except for Mu Xiaowangye, who was dressed in brocade, the remaining five were white-faced, and everyone's forehead was wrapped in a layer of fine sweat.

In addition, the three children who were rescued by Mei Changsu from the Ye Youting Court hummed softly from time to time, and their young bodies trembled frequently.

Tang Ning took a sip of tea, looked away from the "Theory of the Peaceful Kingdom", looked at the six people who were still struggling in the fantasy battlefield, and couldn't help but smile. Since I promised Mu Qing, the chief professor of Nihuang County, it has been five months.

In the past five months, the six little guys in front of me have undergone tremendous changes all the time. And the origin of these changes, in addition to Downing's teachings, is more of everyone's efforts.

Among the six people, except for Mu Qing, the lives of the other five people are very lonely. These five children have no relatives, and the Nian siblings are even more lonely, and they have begun a long time ago in a begging career. Although the three children from the secluded court did not have to beg on the streets, they could be used as criminal slaves in the palace, and they were often oppressed.

It is precisely these arduous experiences that have allowed each of the five to maintain a very enthusiastic attitude since they were taught by Downing. In this three-month life, they need to constantly look at the books prepared for them by Tang Ning during the day, and after noon, Tang Ning returns home and begins to teach boxing and kicking.

If it was just like that, they couldn't have made much progress, after all, Tang Ning used medicinal herbs to regulate everyone's body, but the effect of medicinal herbs was naturally not comparable to the baptism of mixed yuan power.

What really made a big difference for them was the Fantasy Battlefield Simulation Course every day after dusk.

This fantasy battlefield simulation is Tang Ning's mixed element power and spiritual power, condensing the real battlefield in the sea of six people.

Everyone on this battlefield is different, so everyone has their own assessment. But no matter what the assessment is, the first thing they need to adapt to is how to survive on the battlefield.

Survival on the battlefield is never easy.

Except for Mu Qing, who had followed the Nihuang County Lord on the battlefield and had seen the real cruelty of the battlefield, the remaining five had never seen what the battlefield looked like. But fortunately, the five people were born at a low age, so although it was very difficult, they were still trying.

Of course, in addition to teaching them how to survive, the Fantasy Battlefield has many additional contents that Tang Ning has never explicitly stated. For example, the scheduling of battlefield battle arrays, how to ensure battlefield military supplies, battlefield strategies, and so on.

Tang Ning did not mention these deep-seated requirements, and the so-called master led the door to practice in an individual. His way of teaching is to create a real battlefield for them, and the rest of the learning rights are returned to the students themselves.

Although this will be limited by the child's talent, talent can make a person close to perfection, and without talent, although a person cannot progress by leaps and bounds like the pride of the sky, he can also become a strong person with unyielding will and hard work.

Simply, a few people who are constantly oppressed and exploited by life have very good talents, coupled with an excellent mentality, which makes everyone's performance on the battlefield more and more skillful.

Looking at the appearance of several people, Tang Ning smiled slightly, then put down the books in his hand, walked out of the courtyard, and came to the front yard.

At this time, there seemed to be movement outside the gate, and with a wave of Tang Ning's right hand, the door creaked open.

Mei Changsu, who had just gotten off the carriage outside the door, bowed very respectfully outside the door, and then under the cover of Li Gang, he quickly flashed into the Tang Mansion under the black robe of his life.

The sun is hanging on the western mountain, I don't know when, the waning moon is already climbing the branches, Tang Ning saw Mei Changsu like this, so he smiled and said: "Changsu, how can you dress up like this?" ”

Mei Changsu came to the front, and after saluting again, he said in a loud voice: "Mr. doesn't know, Changsu is here this time, and he really has something important to ask for." ”

Tang Ning was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded, and led the two of them quickly through the backyard. When passing by the pavilion in the backyard, in the dim moonlight, Mei Changsu saw clearly the six people in the pavilion with their eyes closed and cross-legged, and after being a little surprised, he didn't say much.

The three of them hurried to the side hall, and when they entered the hall, Mei Changsu seemed to be a little impatient to speak.

"Chang Su knows that Mr. came to Jinling to live an ordinary life, Chang Su is guilty of conspiracy and rebellion, and he is very popular in Jinling City, although he should have come to visit a long time ago, but he didn't want to ruin Mr.'s life because of this."

Tang Ning smiled and said nothing, just looked at him, who bowed down and continued: "If this trip is not necessary, Changsu will not come here. If there is anything wrong, I am willing to bear the guilt when the matter is over. ”

Seeing Mei Changsu like this, Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Changsu, there is no need to be like this, if my guess is correct on your trip, it is for the capture of Wei Zheng by the Hanging Mirror Division, right?" ”

Although Tang Ning guessed his intention, Mei Changsu was not surprised, after all, in Mei Changsu's heart, Tang Ning was no longer the kind of person he could understand. He also believed that it was impossible for the big and small things that happened in Jinling City to escape his gaze.

Even if there is Jiang Zuomeng as a cover, it is inevitable.

"Mr. guessed that Changsu's trip was indeed for Wei Zheng."

Seeing Tang Ning nodding, after the latter signaled to sit down, Mei Changsu continued: "I want to ask Mr. to rescue Wei Zheng. ”

Tang Ning poured tea for him and said with a smile: "It's not difficult to rescue Wei Zheng, but, Changsu, have you thought about it, more than ten years ago, was the Hanging Mirror Division implicated in the Red Flame case?" ”

Mei Changsu took a sip of tea and said: "Judging from the many pieces of evidence I have collected so far, in the Chiyan unjust case back then, Ning Guohou Xie Yu was just a butcher's knife in the hands of a butcher, and Xia Jiang was the real butcher. ”

"That being the case, I will help you rescue Wei Zheng, how are you going to bring down Xia Jiang? You must know that the status of the Hanging Mirror Division is transcendent, and as the head of the Hanging Mirror Division, Xia Jiang is also Emperor Liang's most trusted right-hand man. ”

Mei Changsu was stunned when he heard this, and then said thoughtfully: "Sir's meaning, if I don't rescue Wei Zheng, I can use Xia Jiang's conspiracy to dig out the truth from Xie Yu's mouth?" ”

Tang Ning nodded, took a sip of tea and said: "Xia Jiang is not an ordinary person after all, his status in Emperor Liang's heart, if it weren't for offending Emperor Liang's rebellion, ordinary guilt would not be able to shake his status at all." ”

"If Wei Zheng is rescued at this time, Xia Jiang will inevitably go to the front of the emperor to sue King Jing, although he can't catch the witness, but the trust between King Jing and Emperor Liang, which you have worked so hard to build, will also collapse.

Once this happens, King Yu is uniting with Xia Jiang, and at that time, even you may not be able to keep King Jing.

In that case, why not just go with the flow. When Xia Jiang returned from this trip, he would not have asked about the succession, but Qin under King Yu was as weak as he was under Princess Xuanji, and the friendship between Princess Xuanji and Xia Jiang was needless to say.

Seeing that King Yu was weak and was about to pass by the crown prince, Qin would definitely suggest that King Yu unite with Xia Jiang. It is also because of their alliance that you have the opportunity to completely defeat the Hanging Mirror Division in this encounter. ”

Although Tang Ning only said a direction, Mei Changsu was resourceful, and he quickly found the key from it.

After all, the reason why Xia Jiang is so trusted by Emperor Liang is precisely because he is not involved in party disputes. But once Xia Jiang agrees to King Yu, as long as the Hanging Mirror Division reveals a flaw, it will reduce Emperor Liang's trust, and even cause dissatisfaction.

If he can use Xia Dong's power and use Xia Dong's identity and status, once he seizes the opportunity, Xia Jiang will inevitably offend Long Yan because of this. It's just that what is in front of you is that if you don't save Wei Zheng, you will have the temperament of King Jing......

"I know that you are afraid that King Jing will fall for this, in fact, if King Jing has a dispute with you, it will be the greatest help for your plan this time. As for saving Wei Zheng, of course, it is not that he will not be saved.

If I guess correctly, tomorrow Xia Jiang escorts Wei Zheng back to Beijing, and you are ready to rob the prisoners. You just have to go with the flow and end up losing.

As for King Jing's side, you need to communicate with him first. Convincing him to agree to the plan was the hardest part of the plan.

If you really can't convince him to cooperate with you, you can go to the Nihuang County Lord. His trust in you is different from that of the Nihuang County Lord, and there are some things that she says more appropriately than you say. ”

Tang Ning spoke, staring at Mei Changsu's tightly knit brows, and at the end of the words, seeing Mei Changsu's eyes light up, he didn't say anything more. After all, Mei Changsu is a smart person, and there are many things, needless to say.

He came to find Tang Ning on this trip, but it was actually because of Wei Zheng's arrest, which was somewhat unexpected, resulting in some panic and unable to find a suitable direction. From the heart, as the young marshal of the Red Flame Army, and Wei Zheng as his deputy general, it is inevitable to save him.

It's just that if the whole plan is out of control in order to save Wei Zheng, it will make Mei Changsu feel that it is difficult to choose.

It was precisely because of this that he thought of Tang Ning, because he knew that in this world, if someone could rescue Wei Zheng without knowing it, I am afraid it would be Tang Ning.

Now that he came to the Tang Mansion and got such an answer, Mei Changsu suddenly found that his previous hesitation was really undeserved.

After all, Wei Zheng's life, compared to the entire Chiyan reversal case, it is needless to say which is more important. What's more, it is very difficult to save Wei Zheng, but if you just want to save Wei Zheng's life, it is very simple.

If the situation develops as expected, Xia Jiang will definitely not easily dispose of Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng's life alone is naturally not what Xia Jiang wants. What he really wants is to use Wei Zheng to sow discord between King Jing and himself.

Once there is a crack in the relationship between the two, with King Jing's character, he will naturally reveal flaws in order to save Wei Zheng.

This flaw is what Xia Jiang and King Yu really want! As long as there is this flaw, Emperor Liang will inevitably be jealous of King Jing, once this happens, even if King Jing has now succeeded to the position of crown prince, he will be abolished, not to mention that the current King Jing is only a five-baht prince.

Xia Jiang's strategy is based on the understanding of King Jing and Emperor Liang, and the advice given by Tang Ning is also based on the understanding of Xia Jiang. Although Mei Changsu didn't know why Tang Ning knew Xia Jiang so well, he believed Tang Ning.

Therefore, the reason is no longer the point.

Thinking of this, Mei Changsu got up and saluted, bowed to Tang Ning and said, "Thank you Mr. for your advice." ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be so polite, even if you don't have me, you will choose this way in the end." ”

Mei Changsu was silent, and immediately thought of the six people in the pavilion before, and then asked: "The six people under the pavilion outside the courtyard are under the door of Mr.?" ”

"No, I'm just asked to teach them something."

"It is a great blessing to be taught by Mr., and I hope Mu Qing can cherish the present time."

"Mu Qing, this child, although he is not very old, is already mature. In these three months, he has shown his due talent. After a year, these children may grow to the point where you will be amazed. ”

When Mei Changsu heard this, he nodded in agreement, took a sip of tea, and left at night.

Another month later, Emperor Liang summoned the Hanging Mirror Division for the crimes of bullying and murder, and was seized by a decree, and the first Xia Jiang of the Hanging Mirror Division was locked and taken out of prison, and Zhu Yue, the secretary of Dali Temple, was also dismissed and questioned for the explosion of the private artillery room.

Three months later, the court, which had been in turmoil for several years, seemed to have restored its proper appearance after King Yu was relegated to the rank of Prince Shuangzhu. For a time, many people in Jinling City were all emotional.

After all, there was a lot of uproar about Shuanglong's seizure of the throne at the beginning, but who would have thought that the closest to the supreme position now was the down-and-out prince who had been sent out to garrison.

It's just that these folk discussions disappeared without a trace after the imperial court announced the achievements made during the garrison of King Jing.

The thousand-word expression has already shocked the people of Jinling City.

You must know that during the reign of the crown prince, because of the fight with King Yu, the meritorious deeds made over the years were almost none. At that time, everyone's eyes were on these two people, but no one noticed that when the two were in full swing, King Jing had been running around for the sake of military and political affairs.

It is precisely because of King Jing that it has been able to ensure the tranquility of Daliang's border defense in the past ten years. In such a comparison, King Jing's ascension to the throne is no longer abrupt, and many people even feel that King Jing deserves to be the crown prince.

The turmoil of the outside world naturally does not affect the situation of the court. As the officials in charge of the six ministries were involved in party disputes, those who were questioned were questioned, and those who were dismissed were dismissed, so the newly recruited fillers were all talented people who had been suppressed.

It is the ascension of these people that has made the appearance of the Great Liang Dynasty look new. Emperor Liang often went to court with a smile on his face, and then went down happily. This rare calm made Emperor Liang feel that he was quite knowledgeable.

It's just that with the arrival of March and the arrival of the biennial Spring Hunting Palace, the situation has changed after all.

Tang Ning sat in the carriage, hugged Moshan Mountain, followed the Chun Yu team, and walked in the direction of the Hunting Palace.

"Shanshan, what do you think of Mei Changsu?"

Shanshan snuggled in Tang Ning's arms, heard this, thought for a moment and said: "This person is good at thinking and strategizing, although he is a strategist and the like, his means are not dark, and the most commendable thing is that he has a pure heart." ”

After this trip, the matter here will come to an end. The case of Red Flame will also emerge. It's a pity that you and I are outsiders after all, and in five months, we will be leaving. Suddenly thinking of life during this time, I was quite reluctant. ”

Shanshan glanced at Tang Ning, and then did not speak, but as a Great Cultivator of the Seven Realms, she heard some words in Jinling City.

Shanshan looked at Tang Ning and asked, "You don't plan to take care of this matter?" ”

Tang Ning naturally knew that Shanshan was referring to King Yu's rebellion, he shook his head with a smile and said: "If it is ordinary, I will take care of it, but Emperor Liang is unusual, and his words cannot be trusted." If the back road of King Yu is left, Changsu will have a lot of uncertainty when the case is finally overturned. Now, it is a good thing that he brought about his own destruction. ”

Shanshan thought for a while and asked rhetorically: "Aren't you afraid that King Yu will succeed in rebellion?" ”

Tang Ning shook his head, lifted the curtain, pointed to King Jing in front of him who was riding a horse in armor, and said, "With Changsu and him, King Yu can't succeed." What's more, the lord of Nihuang County is in the imperial tomb, and King Yu rebelled this time, and there was no chance of victory. ”

"There is not much time left, Mu Qing and the others, they have learned a lot from Senior Brother, what are you going to do?"

Tang Ning was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Teaching them just wants to make Mei Changsu and the Nihuang County Lord easier, these little guys have good qualifications, and in a few days, they will be able to go to the battlefield in person." ”

"Senior brother means that in the near future, Daliang will be in danger of war?"

"Yes, the government of the Great Liang Dynasty is in turmoil, the crown prince and the king of Yu have fallen after the two tigers competed, and most of the officials above the second grade of the entire Great Liang have been replaced, except for the idle personnel.

If it is only like this, it will only increase the desire of other countries to covet the beam, and what really makes them covetous. With King Jing's ascension to the throne of the East Palace, the entire Liang fell into a situation where the new generals were incompetent and the veterans were powerless. Except for the Nihuang County Lord, there is no one who can fight in the entire Liang, and there is no one who can fight. How can other countries miss such an opportunity? ”

Shan Shan understood and said softly: "Senior brother, the development of Datang has been very rapid over the years, and although there are veterans such as Xu Chongshan in the military department, the new generals are all warmongers. The new Tang Emperor seems to be expressing his will to the world through this way of promoting officials. ”

Tang Ning did not change when he heard this, he had already inferred about the situation in the Tang Dynasty, after all, Li Zhongyi had abdicated, and although the new emperor respected the academy very much, after all, he was not good enough and could not keep his inner desire for power.

In recent years, with the help of the academy, Datang can be said to be thriving, whether it is science and technology, military or education, it is far ahead of the whole world. It is precisely because the Tang Dynasty has become stronger that many officials have begun to swell, and many people are afraid that they have already moved the idea of unifying the world.

"I've long deduced this, but neither I nor my teacher want to force anything to change. Datang or anything else, as long as they don't do the slaughter, let it be. ”

When Shanshan heard this, he glanced at Tang Ning, who was quite helpless, and smiled: "The teacher also said the same, but after all, this matter is related to the family and the country, and the people in the academy are from all over the world, once the Tang Dynasty really intends to dominate the world, I am afraid it will have many adverse effects on the academy." ”

"It doesn't matter, the academy is the academy of the people of the world, and the current choice faced by the Tang State will not necessarily lead to the route of unification by force. If Emperor Tang was smart enough, as long as he used the power of Ning Que's new academy, he could easily incorporate the world into the territory. If you choose military reunification, although the Tang Dynasty has a strong military, it will not be able to resist the multinational alliance. ”

Looking at Shanshan's contemplative appearance, Tang Ning reached out and brushed her green silk, revealing that delicate and fair face, and kissed it shallowly.

The carriage staggered for two hundred miles, and finally arrived at the periphery of the hunting palace at noon the next day. Tang Ning, accompanied by Yan Yujin, pulled up the tent, and immediately saw Mei Changsu teaching the court students the rules of spring and spring, so he walked towards the other party.

After Mei Changsu's instructions were finished, Tang Ning came to the front, in front of the public, in order not to cause trouble, Mei Changsu did not salute as respectfully as usual.

"Changsu, there is an abnormality in Jinling City, and King Yu has left for the Qingli military camp."

Mei Changsu's mind was calm, and when he suddenly heard about this, he was also shocked, and hurriedly said: "King Yu wants to rebel?" ”

Seeing Tang Ning nodding, Mei Changsu's eyes flickered, and he looked hesitant, Tang Ning said: "This matter is a foregone conclusion, and it will probably arrive at noon tomorrow." ”

Mei Changsu's eyes were certain, and he said continuously: "I'll go tell Jing Yan." ”

Seeing Mei Changsu leave in a hurry, Tang Ning turned around and went back to the tent, and soon after, he mounted his horse and drove Moshan Mountain towards Jiu'an Mountain.

On the other side, Mei Changsu came to King Jing's tent, originally a little flustered, but after a while, he had calmed down.

On the grounds that Jiang Zuomeng had learned the news, he informed King Jing of King Yu's rebellion, and the latter hurriedly told Emperor Liang when he heard the news, but Mei Changsu was stopped on the grounds that there was no evidence.

In fact, Mei Changsu learned about King Yu's rebellion, half a day earlier than the original play, and this half day was naturally deliberately done by Tang Ning. After all, the stakes are high, and Downing wasn't sure if something would happen.

If you want to put an end to the successful way of King Yu's rebellion, you can only prepare in advance. But if you want to mobilize troops on a large scale, you must need a military talisman, and now that the matter of King Yu's rebellion has not yet become a foregone conclusion, Emperor Liang naturally cannot easily grant a military talisman.

In the end, after discussing with King Jing, Mei Changsu decided to send someone to the imperial tomb to inform the Nihuang County Lord, and then ordered Meng Zhi to arrange battlefield traps in advance and distribute the troops.

In the afternoon, when the news of King Yu's rebellion reached the ears of Emperor Liang, Emperor Liang was furious. But outside the palace, although Emperor Liang was angry, he also understood that if he wanted to quell the chaos, he needed to mobilize the army as soon as possible, and then invited King Jing to discuss countermeasures. In the end, Emperor Liang handed over the military talisman to King Jing and ordered him to go to Jicheng to transfer troops.

The next day, when the 5,000 vanguard troops of the Qingli Army attacked Jiu'an Mountain, they were instantly killed by the trap that was the first to be arranged. When the vanguard broke through the perimeter and came to the hunting palace, there were only 3,000 people left.

Rao is like this, the accompanying forbidden army is still at an absolute disadvantage, although the forbidden army is well-equipped and stronger than ordinary sergeants, but the number is less than a thousand.

After guarding the palace for two days, the hunting palace was already in danger, and the large army of the Qingli army had come to Jiu'an Mountain less than ten miles away.

Inside the Hunting Palace, Emperor Liang's eyes were full of anger and worry, and the shouting and killing sound from outside the door made this elderly emperor experience the extreme experience of life and death. It is also this kind of experience that the love for King Yu in the past has long turned into a monstrous hatred.

There was a shouting sound of killing getting closer and closer in his ears, and Yan Hou Ye pulled out the long sword in his hand, intending to rush out of the palace, but before he could take a step, he was stopped by Mei Changsu.

Yan Hou Ye was about to speak, but when he saw Mei Changsu listening attentively, he immediately whispered: "Reinforcements have arrived." ”

These words fell, and only the chaotic shouts and killings outside the palace became less and less, and after a while, there was no longer the sound of swords intersecting.

Seeing this, Emperor Liang's heart was full of worries, after all, the number of forbidden troops was too scarce, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated by the Qingli army. And now, the war has ceased, except for wailing outside the door, there is no Jin Ge resonance, how not to make Emperor Liang frightened?
