Chapter Eighty-Six: The Resignation (4000)

"How could I think that, you're just talking nonsense!" After Ling Zheng listened to Sima Jingling's words, he immediately retorted very excitedly, "In my heart, she is my vision, the one who illuminates my life." If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I only have respect and respect for her.

How can I regard a person like this as my property, and you will never allow you to slander her like this without seeing her or knowing her! ”

Sima Jingling sneered after listening to Ling Zheng's words, and what she said seemed to be apologizing to Ling Zheng, but in her tone, there was no apology at all, some were just full of ridicule and mockery,

"I'm sorry, I didn't see it at all, but she's the person you say you respect so much. From what you have just said, I only have your exaggerated and unspeakable fanatical embellishment, and the distorted mind in your heart that has gone down the wrong path.

You said that the person in your mouth is very powerful and almost omnipotent, and it has refreshed your view of the weak, making you from a high-ranking benefactor to an ordinary person who can treat others with an equal mentality, but in my opinion, you still flaunt your sense of superiority everywhere, and be polite and polite to others, which is just the arrogance of your own identity. ”

"I didn't, you don't want to spew blood!" Ling Zheng's emotions were already very excited, his face turned red, and he retorted very eagerly.

He is like a turtle that has been directly pierced by the appearance of calm, and has been falsely hiding in the comfortable world of his own construction, losing the thick shell on which it depends for survival and protection, revealing his soft but cowardly and ugly body.

Ling Zheng's original mind was actually not bad.

He treated Mrs. Linn as a person who should be grateful for her whole life at first, but later, this gratitude turned into care, and care gradually turned into tension and restraint.

He was afraid that something would go wrong or an accident with Mrs. Lin, and that Mrs. Lin would not be in his field of vision, and that she would do something that was not under his control, that he could not control, and that he was powerless to prevent or assist, so he simply wanted Mrs. Lin to never touch these again, and only let her live under his own gaze, under the "peace" that he had placed for Mrs. Lin.

If Mrs. Kryn really felt at ease like this, and accepted it without resistance, then was she still Mrs. Lin?

Mrs. Lin is a woman who has been able to fight hard and give it a major setback to her family that has no family affection at all from the beginning, not to mention that after entering the palace later, she has experienced a lot and has her own more definite plans and goals.

Sima Jingling was not annoyed in the face of Ling Zheng's jumping feet for a while, she knew that Ling Zheng knew from the beginning that his thoughts and practices were wrong, but he would rather face these wrongs than change all this, in the final analysis, it was because of cowardice.

"Actually, I know who you are, and I also know who you're looking for." Sima Jingling said this very calmly, and sure enough, she saw Ling Zheng's eyes suddenly widen, and she seemed to be very excited as if she was about to run over from that side and ask her about Mrs. Lin's whereabouts.

Sima Jingling directly smashed the wine glass in her hand next to Ling Zheng's body, and said coldly:

"You'd better put a break from those thoughts in your mind."

Ling Zheng's body stiffened, and his eyes stared straight at Sima Jingling, as if he was going to swallow Sima Jingling's whole person, which was really frightening.

But Sima Jingling stared back as if she hadn't noticed this terrifying gaze, and there was a sneer on the corner of her mouth.

The calcium carbide spark between the two seemed to be about to break out, but in the end, no one moved.

Ling Zheng's face was gloomy, but in the end, he sat back with a slightly upturned body.

Sima Jingling lowered her eyes slightly, restrained the coldness at the corner of her mouth, and continued to Ling Zheng:

"The current situation of the Beiao court, I don't say how much I know, but the most basic, I can still say a thing or two, back then, your father, at a critical time, retreated bravely, wittily evaded a purge of the internal power structure of the court, I have to say that he is very insightful, and he can be regarded as a smart person.

But what about after that? ”

Ling Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about why Sima Jingling wanted to say this.

Sima Jingling said all this, but she was prepared, she glanced at Ling Zheng, and after seeing the way he felt in his heart, she raised her lips slightly, and raised the curvature of the corners of her mouth.

"The superior is strategizing, watching the prosperity turn; The middle passenger judges the situation and looks at the rotation of fortune; And those who are inferior will hear the wind and die. Your Ling family, to put it bluntly, is actually a subordinate, and if you run away from the wind, you won't do anything else. ”

Ling Zheng was very angry in his heart, but he restrained his anger that kept surging because of Sima Jingling's words, and slowly said fiercely word by word:

"What does that girl think?"

Sima Jingling smiled faintly, seeing that the goal was about to be achieved, her attitude seemed to be a little gentler.

"I can't say it, it's just a little humble opinion. Now above the court, although it seems to be Wei Jing's Yiyantang, it is not that there are no other voices, but this kind of voice has been ignored by you in disguise.

When your father was the captain of the city, he didn't have to resign as the only way to go. If you don't resign, you will still have the initiative in your hands, and once you resign, there will be no place for you to speak. When your father resigned, did a lot of things happen that made you angry but powerless? Let you deepen your fear step by step, and thus strengthen your conviction to resign and stay away. ”

Ling Zheng's expression was originally a little disdainful.

There are seven or eight out of ten people who talk about great truths in this world, but most of them are just talking about the trend, and there is no substantive content, and at the beginning, he also felt like this about what Sima Jingling said.

He even felt that what kind of bullshit and heresy Sima Jingling was talking about, and in the situation at that time, if they didn't hand over the initiative, how could they have such a peaceful and comfortable life now?

But when he heard the back, Ling Zheng's face changed, and he was really a little surprised.

No one knew anything about their resignation at the beginning, and no one could know anything.

Nowadays, almost everyone in Beiao thought that their family's resignation was very smooth, and there were no accidents at all, so they resigned, retired from officialdom, and then lived a happy and stable farm life.

So, how did the girl in front of her know these things?

Or is this another temptation by this girl for himself, and there is no real basis for it, but it just happened to happen?

Ling Zheng couldn't figure it out, and looked at Sima Jingling's gaze, which became a little deeper.

His reactions and gazes were too straightforward, so that Sima Jingling couldn't help but notice them.

This made her breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, and it also made her piece together all the stories in her mind in an instant. Bookbag netting

First of all, it is the truth about Ling Zheng's resignation.

Ling Zheng's father's official residence is Sanpin, and he is a position that seems very important no matter what, the captain of the city guard.

A lieutenant seems to have no high rank as a general, but for an imperial city like Dadu, its importance is self-evident.

But if the captain of the city guards has a little bit of disobedience, the capital city can be said to be in danger.

After all, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, even if the generals and generals have a large number of soldiers and horses, they can't immediately mobilize troops and concentrate on dealing with the lord of this city, not to mention, most of their soldiers and horses are still outside the city.

Even the Praetorian Guards guarding the inside of the palace are not as many as the people under the Captain of the Protector, not to mention, in a strict sense, there is also a certain subordinate relationship between the Janissaries and the Captain of the Protector.

Although in essence, the Praetorian Guard was under the orders of the Captain.

Aside from this level, the city protector can be said to be a very important position, and those who can sit in this position have won the trust of the emperor - except for Wei Jing.

But at the beginning, Wei Jing would not immediately replace the person in the position of the captain of the city guard. After all, although he has been working hard in the court for many years, and he took the throne in a subtle and sudden outburst, but at that time, Beiao was not completely in his hands.

If he directly removes the position of the city guard and replaces him with a seat, then it is very likely that his ambition will be directly demonstrated, and everyone else will have a very serious sense of crisis, so that they will join forces and resist him together.

He may not be afraid of these people, and he does believe that he is the one who wins in the end, but the price to pay will not be less.

Although he is a ruthless person and a cruel person at heart, he also wants people's hearts.

Such a heart-to-heart thing, Wei Jing would not do.

His original plan was to break them one by one. After all, he knows that not everyone in this world is determined and will not waver at all.

But what Wei Jing didn't expect was that the captain of the city guard, who was also Ling Zheng's father, took the initiative to give him this big gift, and if there was no reason, he would resign and leave.

"Back then, your father's resignation can be said to be in the hands of Wei Jing, he originally thought that it would take a few years to purge the power of the court, but he didn't expect that your father took the initiative to hand the knife to him Wei Jing.

Wei Jing didn't care about the means, and with the knife in his hand that you took the initiative to send, he would naturally use it, after all, this was a sharp weapon that allowed him to plan several years in advance.

While pretending to keep your father and making a gesture in front of the world, he couldn't wait to let his henchmen take the position of the captain of the city, and then, as if he was guarding against something, he personally took charge of all the military power in the city, including the palace, and held it in his own hands.

After solving such a big worry, then of course he has to attack those courtiers who are defenseless and have no power to resist.

In other words, the grandest purge of forces that year actually happened because of your family. ”

When Ling Zheng heard this, he slapped the table directly, and rebuked angrily on his face: "This is just nonsense, nonsense, and nonsense!" Wei Jing acted in a disorderly manner and did whatever he wanted, how can you say that this was caused by our family? I'm here to hear you say that, it's a waste.

Tell me where that person is, or I'll have to talk to you about it even if I want to break the house rules! ”

"Why don't you want to admit it, you already have this premonition in your heart, don't you?" Sima Jingling didn't care about Ling Zheng's current appearance at all, and was still sitting in place very calmly and normally.

In Sima Jingling's eyes, Ling Zheng was completely like a person who had been stripped naked and naked in front of everyone to visit and point fingers.

He still stubbornly held his head high, believing nothing and refutating anything, but it was useless.

His breathing, which had become a little flustered, and his eyes that were a little shaken, had already shown the hesitation in his heart, and it seemed that he was a little pitiful.

"Why did those officials who had good relations with your family in the past not only reject your suggestion to resign together, but also scolded your family, looking like they were old and dead; Why do some people become very disappointed after knowing that your resignation is really their own will, and finally die tragically in their own homes or on the street?

Is it really just an accident and the world's incomprehension of you? ”

Ling Zheng's emotions have become more and more excited, and the sweat on his forehead has become more and more intense. He wanted to shout at Sima Jingling, all this is not right, you are talking nonsense, but he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

Because what Sima Jingling said is true.

Although there may be some differences in the details, what happened on the whole is not much different from what Sima Jingling said.

There were indeed many officials who were good friends with his father back then, but they all cut off contact with them later. The officials who came to persuade them to ask them for truth also died because of various accidents.

But what did they think in the first place?

What I thought was that Wei Jing really started to act, but it was a pity that these people ......

But now it seems that perhaps it was because his father did not hold on to this most critical step that they all failed again and again.

He finally understood why everyone no longer cared about their family. Even if there are still people who used to have a good relationship with their family, and he can call them "uncle and uncle", why did he cut off from their family and never contact them again.

But isn't this reality a little too cruel?

Sima Jingling looked at Ling Zheng with some excitement, and did not continue to talk about it, nor did she tell him about Mrs. Lin, but stood up, slowly pulled out the sleeves, and tied the sleeves of the wide coat on her body one by one.

"I know you're still a little untrustworthy, if a fight with me can make you more comfortable, then I'm happy to accept your challenge, after all, it also seems that you're hard again, isn't it?"

Ling Zheng looked up at Sima Jingling, regardless of whether Sima Jingling was a woman or whether there would be any problems in it, he stood up and said to Sima Jingling word by word:

"That's what you said, don't regret it."
