Chapter Forty-Nine: Heart-to-Heart

Today I was hit hard, and I lamented that my writing was so bad...... Why do readers still think that Xiaomei is obviously a woman disguised as a man...... Although he is physically weak, he does not hug left and right, and is not pressed by beautiful women all day long, but he is indeed a man...... If there are still readers who expect him to finally transform, it's better to quit early, otherwise the mines will explode~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ this is the ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ of the maddening dividing line

When Mei Changsu went out, he calculated that King Jing had almost finished handling the affairs of the army before he came, but at this time, when he walked into the Tiger Shadow Hall, he saw that there were still neatly standing inside, and most of the most useful team in King Jing's hands were acquaintances, and a few people who didn't know each other were all military heroes with resolute eyes and tall figures. Seeing King Jing coming in, everyone immediately clasped their fists and saluted together.

"This is Mr. Su Zhesu." King Jing briefly introduced, thought about it, and reluctantly added: "It's a friend of this king...... In the future, everyone will take care of each other......"

"Yes!" The generals responded in unison.

Mei Changsu smiled faintly and nodded. Friends? I can only say that I am a friend, and I can't just announce to my subordinates that he is my advisor now, right?

"Zhan Ying's rest of the matter, you can preside over the discussion." King Jing gave an order to the nearest general, and slowly turned to face Mei Changsu: "There is a discussion going on here, I will accompany Mr. Su to the study to talk." ”

Mei Changsu bowed slightly, and the two walked out from the back of the hall side by side and stepped onto the main road of blue bricks. For some reason, they were silent all the way, and no one had any intention of looking for something to liven up the atmosphere.

In fact, there was no need to go through the Tiger Shadow Hall to go to the study, and Mei Changsu knew that there was another way. But looking at this situation, it was obvious that when everyone was halfway through the discussion, the generals outside the door handed a post to the hall and were curious to see what Su Zhe, who had recently become famous, looked like, so King Jing specially took himself to show his face.

It's just that I don't know how that group of fierce generals will feel when they see their sick looks, because the fashion in the army has always been undeniable, and the delicate people who are impatient with hard work remember that when Uncle Nie first joined the Red Flame Army, wasn't he also very excluded by himself and Jing Yan, until he commanded and won a few tough battles, and then he was better?

Destroy the enemy's liver and gallbladder. This wise soul in the Red Flame Army has always been full of clever strategies, but his last words in the world were unusually simple.

"Xiaoshu, you have to live......" said the charred pillar of fire as he pushed himself into the snow pit with all his might. There was only hope in those clear eyes, and there was no hatred. Because he just wanted Lin Shu to live, and what could he do after he lived, Nie Zhen didn't force it.

But the deceased is not forced, but the survivor cannot forget.

"Is Mr. Su uncomfortable?" King Jing's voice came from the side: "The face is so pale. ”

"It's nothing, it just feels like it's a little colder today than it was yesterday."

"Of course, today is the winter solstice." As if remembering something, King Jing beckoned a soldier on duty from a distance and ordered, "Go and bring a brazier to the study." ”

The soldier took the order and Mei Changsu smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

"My study has never lit a fire, and I forgot that my husband was afraid of the cold, so I was negligent." King Jing's voice was calm and waveless: "I heard that Mr. has recently moved to the housewarming, and I didn't come to congratulate you, please forgive me." ”

"Did the Nihuang County Lord tell His Highness?"

"It's not Jingning."

"Oh," Mei Changsu nodded abruptly, "No wonder I saw him in the Tiger Shadow Hall just now." ”

King Jing Huo Ran turned his head to look at him: "What did you say?" ”

"I mean Guan Zhen, he's under your command now?"

King Jing's eyes were blazing, and he looked at Mei Changsu's face for a while before exhaling: "You actually know this......

"Princess Jingning's recommendation of Guan Zhen to your command is really smart. Because the crown prince could not save all of it, she didn't dare to take this risk. What's more, Guan Zhen is not a person with long sleeves and good dancing, and there is no use for going to both sides. Only Your Highness, your military merits here can be earned by strength. Merely...... Even if Your Highness takes care of Guan Zhen again, the distance between Guan Zhen and the princess is still too far, Jing Ning is already seventeen years old, and it won't be able to drag on for many years......"

"In two days, I will send Guan Zhen to Shanbei to exterminate the giant thieves, and start earning a little bit," King Jing's eyes looked steadily ahead, "Guan Zhen is also an infatuated and reluctant person, and he will never give up until the last moment." Jing Ning met him, and he didn't know whether it was lucky or unlucky. ”

King Jing's words were just emotion, not questions, so Mei Changsu did not respond. Turning a corner, the study was already in front of me, but the brazier was sent in advance, but it didn't take long to move in, and the cold in the room had not been completely dissipated, so Mei Changsu found a chair closest to the brazier and sat down, and looked up, inadvertently seeing King Jing's gaze passing over the old chair under the south window, and his heart suddenly soured.

That was the position where I used to sit habitually, but now things are people, even if I want to sit, I am afraid that Jing Yan will not be.

As soon as the banquet was served, the conversation immediately turned to the main topic.

"King Yu hinted that I would like to find a way to greet you. In the handling of the land invasion case, you don't have to worry about him even if you let go of your hands and feet. ”

King Jing said coldly: "I wasn't ready to take care of him. ”

"You received the decree yesterday, right?" Mei Changsu didn't think it was angry, and his tone was still peaceful: "What do you think after a night?" ”

"The evidence transferred by the Hanging Mirror Division is sufficient, and this case is not difficult to try." King Jing's tone was solemn: "Qingguo Gong is not just conniving, he is the main culprit. ”

"But he is a first-class military marquis, and he has the right to be pardoned."

"No mercy will be given to those who have committed three murders."

"He didn't personally touch on the murder in Kyoto."

"Zhujia Village's slaughter of the village is evidenced by his secret letter."

"The secret letter is not his handwriting, and it is still the work of his master in the house."

"This master was invited by me last night, and he confessed today, and it's not a hard bone."

"Is it really polite to invite?" Mei Changsu showed appreciation, "Your Highness can see the evidence chain of the hanging mirror at once, and this master is as fast as the wind and thunder, and Su admires it." ”

King Jing had no smug look on his face: "That's because Duke Qingguo thought that this secret letter had been destroyed, and he didn't know that it had fallen into the hands of Xia Dong, otherwise he would have been extinguished a long time ago." ”

"But Your Highness has ever thought that if the Qingguo Gong case is dealt with severely, most of the people who have blood debts in various places will follow suit. In the past, the state government yamen did not accept the case, but now it will not, do you have the confidence to deal with this follow-up trouble? ”

"What can't the soldiers do when they come to block the water and cover the earth?"

Mei Changsu's visit to the door today originally had the intention of encouraging King Jing not to be afraid of difficulties, but now it seems that this person still has the problem of treating hardships and dangers as flat, and he does not need to encourage him at all.

"Although it is valuable that Your Highness is so confident, there should be subtle differences when dealing with specific matters." Mei Changsu Zhengse persuaded: "Although the wealthy families have always acted separately, they have not encountered a situation that requires unity. If His Royal Highness can properly deal with different cases, some will be protected, some will be lighter, and some will be heavier, so that the interests of the various wealthy families will be uneven and the law will not be touched, and the alliance will not be formed. Stopping the wind of land annexation and not causing large-scale resistance of the wealthy clans, stabilizing the agricultural capital, reducing the number of displaced people, and letting everything unfold according to His Majesty's best expectations will surely make him look down on you. ”

Hearing his words, Xiao Jingyan's expression was shocked, and he sighed for a long time, and whispered: "What Mr. said is extremely me, I only know that I don't treat everyone equally, maybe it won't achieve the effect." ”

Mei Changsu smiled and said by the way: "Since King Yu intends to help you, don't be too cold, and occasionally meet someone who commits a crime, pick two out and give a light sentence in response." ”

King Jing raised his eyebrows and said strangely: "He should have done his best to defend the Duke of Qingguo, how could he use the fat in his hand to show favor to me, a hard stone?" ”

"Because he knows that this time he can't screw His Majesty's mind at all." Mei Changsu stretched out his hand and roasted on the charcoal fire, his eyes flashing brightly, "No, Qing Guogong knows that Xie Yu is in the enemy camp, and he can't help but panic." You're very important to him now. ”

"In order to make me appear very important, thank you, Mr. for folding Qingguo Gong so generously, and exposing Xie Yu," King Jing snorted coldly, "Thank you so much." ”

"Why is Your Highness unwilling to take credit for me?"

"I just...... I don't want people to think that I'm the same as King Yu...... I don't want to stand next to the crown prince and the king of Yu, ......"

"Although I have wronged you a little, I promise that there will be nothing excessive for you to do. Besides, you have been suppressed for many years, and everyone should be able to understand ......"

"I don't care what people in the world think," King Jing's teeth clenched slightly, and his eyes were a little unsteady, "but the dead should also have heroic spirits, I don't want them to see such a scene......"

A hot feeling welled up in Mei Changsu's chest, and he stabilized for a long time before he spoke again: "Souls don't just look at the surface, they know your heart, not to mention that these are just expedient moves." ”

"Actually, I understand. It's my own choice, I can't talk about grievances or not," King Jing took a deep breath, "I will do it according to your arrangement, don't worry." ”

Mei Changsu smiled and revealed this topic: "Your Majesty's will is for His Highness to choose the officials of the three divisions who will be assisted by His Highness?" ”

King Jing nodded.

"Has Your Highness decided on a good candidate?"

"Please sir." King Jing is very straightforward.

Mei Changsu took out a folded page of paper from his arms and handed it to King Jing's hand. Xiao Jingyan opened it and looked at it carefully, and fell into deep thought.

"What do you think of these candidates, Your Highness?" Mei Changsu waited for him to think quietly for a while, and asked slowly.

"Good." King Jing commented succinctly.

"These highnesses deserve to be vigorously and deeply befriended." Mei Changsu laughed, "However, they will never be His Highness's wings in the future." ”

Hearing him say this, King Jing did not have a surprised expression, but agreed, obviously having already understood the deep meaning of Mei Changsu's words.

"It is enough for Your Highness to have me, and the military is even more troublesome, there is Princess Jingning in the palace, she is not very noticeable, but a strong helper. As for the DPRK-China...... I don't think His Royal Highness needs wings, because the sooner he has wings, the sooner he will be jealous of the crown prince, and all His Highness needs is pure ministers. Mei Changsu's tone was low but the words were clear: "The more pure ministers, the less power to scheming, and the more space Your Highness has to keep his true temperament." Not to mention that you won't feel uncomfortable in fellowship with these people. ”

"But these people ...... It's hard to get on top ......"

"It is true that this is true with the crown prince and King Yu, and I hope that His Highness can change this situation. These people do not lack talent, they lack resourcefulness, they only lack opportunities. According to their character, although they do not want to be attached to the party in the future, they will be grateful for the grace of knowing each other. Your Highness only needs to have sincere fellowship with them, and if you want to calculate what they want, let me do it. ”

"You ......," King Jing looked at him in amazement for a long time, "is it necessary for you to do this?" ”

Mei Changsu smiled faintly: "This is the duty of a strategist." If I let His Highness go and do it himself, I don't feel at ease. ”

"I understand......," King Jing whispered as if he remembered something, "that day, you sent a letter to let me go to Cumulus Tower to sit for half a day, and that's because of this ......."

"That's right," Mei Changsu smiled, "You already know each other?" ”

"Yes. At that time, he was bored, and he was very eye-catching. King Jing stretched his body on the chair, "Everyone eats when they come to Qingyun Building, only he called the store's purchases up, and asked the prices of firewood, rice, oil, salt, meat, vegetables and eggs one by one." I can't help but notice him. ”

"The household department is in charge of the treasury, money and grain, which is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. It's a pity that it has now been stirred into a big dye vat by Lou Zhijing. He is the only person who can sincerely care about the trend of prices and do things in a down-to-earth manner. If he hadn't been the son of the county lord of Qinghe, he would have been squeezed out long ago. Mei Changsu said with emotion: "Did you have a good chat after you met that day?" ”

"It's a deed." King Jing looked at him deeply: "Lou Zhijing is involved in such a murder case, Shang Shu is afraid that he will not be able to do it for a few days, do you have any plans?" ”

"What does Your Highness think?"

"Shen Chai is now a third-grade squire, and it is not impossible to be promoted to another level to lead Shangshu, but he is neither a prince nor a person who is a king, do you want to push him to the throne?"

"It's because neither side can rely on this opportunity to fall on his head." Mei Changsu's smile was very determined, "Of course, there are still many things to do now, but there is also a little bit of certainty." How many years has King Yu waited for this opportunity, and he will definitely be crazy to prevent the prince from pushing one of his own people again. And the same is true for the prince, Lou Zhijing has fallen, it is already a great loss, if King Yu is allowed to take the opportunity to take the throne, wouldn't it be a greater loss? The two do not let each other benefit from nature. ”

"Yes, the situation is like this, and you are really fortunate to be chasing after you." King Jing looked up and laughed: "But Mr. is indeed a god and ghost, and he is worthy of the name of a Qilin genius." ”

Mei Changsu had a trace of bitterness on his face, and he didn't answer. Is it talented? Who is really better than others, but after all these years of exhaustion, only thinking about this one thing will naturally be much more thoughtful.

"But Shen Chai is indeed a clear stream to push him to the top, which is really what I want." King Jing stared over and bowed his hand, "I also appreciate Mr.'s thoughts." ”

Mei Changsu returned the salute and said: "Shen Chai is only the first step, and in a few days, there will be vacancies in the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department, and the people I value are all on the list for His Highness." He also asked His Royal Highness to take the opportunity of the same trial to intersect and inspect the case, and to give them the opportunity to make more meritorious contributions, so that the emperor could also leave a good impression on them. These are all smart people, whether His Royal Highness intends to divide the merits and promote, needless to say, they will also know it. ”

"The opportunity for Shen Chai is already rare, why is there a vacancy in the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department?" King Jing just asked, and suddenly remembered that the root cause of the fall of Hubu Shangshu Lou Zhijing was that this Su Zhe bought a garden casually, and immediately understood it in his mind.

"There won't be an accident in a short period of time, Your Highness calm down and handle the errand of the land invasion case first." Mei Changsu's eyes showed a slight spicy color, "After the New Year, I will invite He Jingzhong and Qi Min to enter the play with their master......"
