Chapter Twenty-Four: Monarchs and Ministers Lack Righteousness
The sky is getting dark, and everyone in the house is still kneeling in the courtyard to listen to the order, and they can't say anything about their suffering. The herald was also sweating profusely, his voice hoarse, and miserable.
King Nancheng saw all this, although he couldn't bear it in his heart, he couldn't bear the holy decree, and finally couldn't bear to continue to stay in the mansion, and galloped away on horseback.
King Nancheng thought about it carefully, and suddenly found that he had no way to go, and he always put government affairs first, and took his father's will as the code of conduct, and never had a personal relationship with anyone, so he couldn't help laughing: "Heh, this king doesn't even have a friend." ”
Unconsciously, he rode to the gate of King Jing's mansion, hesitating whether to talk to He Juyan.
A guard in King Jing's Mansion recognized King Nancheng at a glance and immediately spread the word. King Nancheng hesitated again and again, decided not to disturb He Ju, turned around and wanted to leave, just at this time King Jing got the word and brought everyone to visit.
King Jing said: "I've seen the Fifth Highness, since His Highness is here, why don't you enter the mansion?" ”
King Nancheng was a little restrained, and he didn't know whether to go or stay. I saw He Ju behind King Jing, smiling at him, bowing his head slightly, and his eyes contained the joy of seeing each other again. King Nancheng dismounted and said respectfully: "I have seen King Jing." This king has a reluctant request, can he talk to the county lord alone? ”
Seeing that King Jing was a little hesitant, King Nancheng explained: "Last time in Weiguo, it was the county lord who saved this king, and I haven't thanked the county lord well, so I came to visit me today." ”
King Jing thought that the two of them had nothing to do with each other, and it turned out that there was a saying that they would save each other in Weiguo, and turned his eyes to look at He Ju, only to see He Ju smiling, King Jing said with confidence: "That is the case, Ju'er is not going soon?" ”
"Yes, Father." He Ju answered and ordered Xiao Qi to lead the horse and go side by side with King Nancheng.
The two of them found a secluded teahouse, and Xiao Er greeted: "The second floor is a private seat, and the guest officer is upstairs, please." ”
"I don't know what His Highness is looking for me today, it shouldn't be as simple as saying thank you." He Ju vaguely felt that the atmosphere was not cheerful.
"This king is very miserable now, but there is no one to talk to, and after thinking about it, only the county lord is willing to talk to this king." King Nan Cheng smiled weakly.
"Isn't it that His Highness has regarded He Ju as a friend?" He Ju said with a smile.
"This is nature, don't laugh, you are the only friend of this king." King Nancheng said seriously.
"That's really flattering. Your Highness, don't laugh, don't hide it, He Ju has no friends. He Ju said helplessly.
"The king is also honored." King Nancheng looked at He Ju and smiled, dressed in green clothes, with no sword at his waist, only emerald silk, which was completely different from the county lord he saw that day, and praised: "I didn't expect the county lord to have such a ladylike side." On that day, I saw you wearing a sword in your hair, dressed in black and white, so not majestic. ”
"Your Highness laughed, He Ju is like this every day, just for the convenience of walking, he looks like a hermit." He Judao.
"Why should the county lord hide it from me, now we only have each other's friends, some things are different from each other, who else can we listen to?" After Nan Cheng Wang finished speaking, he drank a cup of tea, as if the scar had been torn open.
"What His Highness said is reasonable, I don't know what His Highness is thinking..."He Ju asked, but he couldn't bear to ask when the words came to his lips.
"You must know best what this king has experienced in Wei Kingdom. Now, my father and the emperor actually issued an order to worship me as a stabbing history, and go down to Nanxiang to quell the chaos! How can he be so ruthless, this king is his son-in-law! King Nancheng was another cup of tea, and he did not relieve his sorrow at all, and said unhappily: "There is no wine here, it is difficult to solve your worries." ”
"Why don't you make tea for Your Highness?" He Ju's tea art is like piano skills, and Nanming is afraid that he will not be able to find a second person.
Before waiting for tea, King Nancheng saw that He Ju was so intimate, so he felt a lot more comfortable, and said: "I don't know the county lord, can I help this king?" ”
"How does Your Highness want He Ju to help?" He Ju fiddled with the teaspoon, and the tea leaves fell into the pot one by one, and the tea leaves fell slowly, just right, as if just looking at them could relieve a lot of worries.
"Can the county lord borrow Ming Shixuan for use?" King Nan Cheng's face changed, and there was a bit of firmness in his eyes.
He Ju was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but think: How did he find out?
Seeing He Ju's doubts, King Nancheng said: "The county lord must not hide it from me, you are a person from Ming Shixuan, and this king naturally knows it." ”
"It's not that He Ju deliberately concealed it from His Highness, but that Ming Shixuan's rules are like this, since His Highness himself noticed it, then He Ju is not a bad rule. That's right, I'm from Ming Shixuan. He Ju explained, there was a little guilt in his words, he didn't speak directly to his only friend, and his heart was not happy.
"That being the case, this king had no choice but to beg the county lord to borrow Ming Shixuan. This king really wants to save the people of Nanming who were locked up by the Wei Kingdom! King Nancheng wanted to cry without tears, he couldn't think of any other way.
"Your Highness, don't worry, why don't He Ju want to save them. It's just that He Ju is too insignificant for Ming Shixuan, and there is really no place for him. He Ju explained paradoxically, although she was just an ordinary hermit in Ming Shixuan, but in the heart of the ten nights, she was willing to offset the entire Ming Shixuan in exchange for her happiness in her life.
"This king wants to see Lord Xuan, can you introduce him?" King Nancheng pleaded as if grasping the last straw.
He Ju hesitated, and responded: "Just according to Your Highness." ”
The two of them immediately rode their horses and galloped to Ming Shixuan, along the way He Ju was worried, she didn't know whether to help King Nan Cheng persuade Shiye after a while. Said secretly: No, I owe Lord Xuan too much, if Lord Xuan does not agree to this matter, then I can go to Weiguo to save people by myself, and I must not embarrass Lord Xuan.
This is the first time He Ju has stepped into Ming Shixuan in a green suit, and he feels a little uncomfortable. The rattan sword is not in his hand, and this Ming Shixuan's momentum always feels that he is suppressing himself, and he can't stretch it.
"King Nancheng?" Ten Nights called out in the inner hall, "Come in." "In terms of the ten nights, since it is the person brought by He Ju, there is no reason not to see it.
King Nan Cheng felt cold all over his body since he stepped into this Ming Shi Xuan, and he was really startled when he saw it for ten nights, such a person who was as gentle as jade was very different from the Xuan Lord he guessed and thought.
"I never imagined that Lord Xuan was so handsome." King Nan Cheng praised him somehow, and then he came back to his senses, how could he call the master of Ming Shi Xuan a handsome person.
"What King Nancheng asked, he couldn't answer it for ten nights." Shiye looked into the eyes of King Nan Cheng and said seriously.
"The king has not yet said what he wanted. Besides, how can there be something that Ming Shixuan can't do, only if he doesn't want to. King Nancheng's words were both agitated and slightly dissatisfied.
Ten nights said clearly, word by word: "Ming Shixuan will not go to Weiguo to save people." ”
"Why? These are all innocent people in my Nanming, and now the monarch and the ministers are lacking, why should they be stubborn? You are like this, who in the world still cares about the life and death of the people?! King Nan Cheng said excitedly, and sneered twice: "Heh, hehe, I'm afraid it's only Emperor Wei, but I destroyed this benevolence and righteousness with my own hands, it's ridiculous!" ”
He Ju watched silently from the side, not knowing what to say, and was at a loss.
And Shiye looked at He Ju closely, as if waiting for her decision...
