Chapter 154: The War of Nations
The moonlight was quite blurry this night, and after Zhou Xia returned to the study from the council hall, he told the Confucian scholar about today's events with the white moon.
The Confucian laughed softly: "Although Gu Mingsheng is carried by you, he is also a bit straighter. ”
"Although it is a temptation, it may be obvious that he is still loyal to the royal family."
Zhou Xia sighed, if such a person is placed on weekdays, it is more reassuring than those wall grasses, but sometimes they are stubborn!
"I just don't know...... Was he loyal to Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty or to the Zhou royal family. Ge Shiyuan, who was in a moon-white robe, said lightly, and Zhou Xia's face was not very good-looking, after all, what he said was very likely to be true.
Since entering the judgment of Qinzhou to take charge of the military power, although he deliberately covered it up, he could also see a lot of small actions, since Emperor Xuan of Ming succeeded to the throne, the idea of inserting people has become more and more obvious, and he has to be on guard.
Seeing his worries, Ge Shiyuan chuckled: "It's not a bad thing, isn't it the time to employ people when you retreat south?" As for how many will survive, it depends on their lives. ”
Although there will not be much danger in withdrawing south to Jizhou, since it is always zero, it is inevitable that they will be targeted by the mountain bandits and water bandits in this area, you must know that they are never good men and women.
"What do you mean ...... sir?"
"There's always a test or two."
Although Ge Shiyuan didn't say it explicitly, the meaning in his words was extremely obvious, but if this matter was a rumor and a soldier, then these people were afraid that they would have to sacrifice in vain.
"Okay." Zhou Xia is not that cowardly and incompetent, since he has made up his mind, he naturally has no intention of changing it casually, and after a little determination, he has a plan, "I don't know when Mr. is going to leave?" ”
"Today."
The willows were still in the mighty water, and Gu Jinshu sat in the carriage and looked at the scenery outside, feeling a rare joy. Seeing that she smiled like a little fox with a satisfied face, the old lady stretched out her hand and nodded a little on her head: "Now you are relieved?" ”
"My grandmother is like a god, and those people will definitely not do it."
Since they hit Qinzhou City, they felt that there were people following them all the time, and half an hour ago, this feeling suddenly disappeared, and there was no discomfort and palpitations just now when they looked at the way, thinking that the person had already got the answer he wanted.
"It's not that your grandmother is like a god, but your father knows how to judge the situation."
The old lady sighed slightly, and her son-in-law had already told her about the twists and turns before leaving, and naturally knew that the person who was watching was Zhou Xia's person.
Gu Jinshu didn't think it was strange, but Ye Qingdai on one side twisted her brows in confusion, but she didn't say much, after all, her heart was still in the clouds. It was fine a few days ago, why did you suddenly have to travel from Qinzhou to Jizhou? She hasn't said goodbye to the little sisters she just met!
"In an eventful season, we need to take it step by step."
The old lady sighed slightly, while Gu Jinshu tilted her head out of the window, looking at the life under the bright spring light.
Accompanying the capital, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty sat in front of the imperial study, and Pei Guogong sat alone not far away, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
"The Pei family's tinder has been sent away?"
"Yes."
Pei Guogong knew that when the emperor swore to defend the country, he had no way to avoid it, although there was no shortage of people who were scattered, but he couldn't do this.
"In this life, I am worthy of the ancestors and ancestors, worthy of the gods and Buddhas, but only worthy of your Pei family."
The Great Zhou Dynasty inherited by Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was poor and weak, and the emperors of the Zhou family handed him a mess, and he couldn't refuse it.
- If it is an ordinary family, there must be no need to worry about this, but he was born in the royal family, and some things are unavoidable.
Lose or die!
"Your Majesty don't bother yourself, you've done a good job."
Pei Guogong stared at Zhou Chengyun in front of him word by word, in all fairness, he was indeed a great emperor, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time, and some things were destined to be unfinished.
"Does the prince know why his father repented in the first place?"
The two families only lacked the exchange of Geng posts, and they didn't want such a big thing to happen, so that he finally had to marry Cai.
"Your Majesty still can't let go?"
"Yes."
This incident can be said to be a turning point in his life, he has always thought that he is the crown prince who is held on the tip of his heart, and he is a person who does not need the approval of others, but when Jin'er married far away, he realized how weak and incompetent he was.
He also tried to inquire when the emperor was on a great trip, but the man closed his eyes tightly and was unwilling to say more, and he did not inquire about a clue in the end.
"The specific situation is not clear to the minister, but the first emperor once got acquainted with the Mai gods, and he took you and Jin'er to go with him just to fit the eight characters." He pursed his lips and said, "Since I will choose another princess after returning to the palace, I think I should have listened to the words of fate." ”
Pei Guogong knew a little about the things of the year, but even if he knew a little about it, he almost figured out the ins and outs, and the conjectures and facts were inseparable.
"If it's the last moment, I hope Aiqing can leave."
If it is the moment when the will is cleared by death, then it is enough to be alone, and the blood of the emperor is enough to awaken the hearts of the numb.
- Dead people are needed to fight wars, and dead people are needed to let Da Zhou leave the fire.
"Wechen ......"
"Aiqing, have you ever seen me and a young son? He was born to me and Jin Niang, and as for the affairs of Jizhou, I have to rely on Guogong a lot. ”
“……”
Pei Guogong's expression disappeared in an instant, and he straightened up from his chair, as if he had heard something incredible, and Emperor Ming Xuan just smiled, as if he was not surprised by his behavior.
"When I was young and vigorous, I felt that what I couldn't get was always in my hands by unscrupulous means, and I was sorry for their mother and son."
Although he gave all his love to his young son as much as possible, he owed him a biological mother after all.
"But his temperament is not suitable for the throne, and I am reluctant."
He knows the temper of the eldest son, and the child looks at him as an awkward master, and he sees that he is the most important promise, since he promised that he will not do anything to Nian Jin, then even if he finally becomes a great treasure, he will not make a move on that child.
"Prince ......"
"He will arrive in Jizhou safe and sound, and I hope you can help me when the time comes, I can't believe the Cai family after all."
He said this sincerely and seriously, Pei Guogong had no way to retreat, just like the beautiful young man who promised in front of him: I will be good to Jin'er for the rest of my life.
Pei Guogong's eyes were a little ethereal, and the figures of two people flashed in the bottomless pupils, the young man was handsome, the girl was like a flower, and he was holding a pair of golden boys and girls.
