Nine, known error
Everything went on in an orderly manner, Luo Kailing's wife often came out to do everything, the courtiers' praises and praises gradually disappeared in the staggering, Ji Kaihan found that although many people came, Luo Kailing was with a few familiar generals dressed up, it can be seen that they are usually Luo Kailing's henchmen, and other people Luo Kailing does not often talk to them, it can be seen that Luo Kailing is also a person with his own ideas and opinions.
After talking about drinking, many people slowly got up and asked Luo Kailing and his father to resign, some Luo Kailing personally sent them away, and some Luo Kailing didn't stand up at all.
Ji Kaihan still knows some about the ministers in the court, and he found that every time Luo Kailing personally stood up and sent away, he was a person who contributed to the court and the society, and every time he didn't stand up and send the person, it was often a traitor and villain in the court, which shows that Luo Kailing does have his own thoughts and opinions.
In the end, the people walked more and more thinly, and there were only three or five people left, Luo Kailing turned around and saw Ji Qihan sitting on the side, pouring himself a drink, and then looked carefully, he was not wearing an official uniform, but just a more luxurious robe, and he had never seen this person at all.
Luo Kailing felt a little strange, and stepped forward and asked, "May I ask who you are?" He was embarrassed to give the order to evict the guest, so he had to ask him curtly.
Ji Qihan laughed and said, "Lord Luo, I'm just a nobody, of course you don't know me." Besides, you know me and it's of no use to you. ”
When Luo Kailing heard his two words, he said very strangely, and he didn't know how to answer him.
Instead, he laughed and said to him: "Lord Luo, I guess you don't remember me anymore, it doesn't matter, in short, we had a relationship before." I came to see Lord Luo today, I have something important to say to you, I wonder if Lord Luo can make it convenient? ”
Luo Kailing just hesitated, and a military general came forward and said to him: "Brother Luo, don't do it, this person has an unknown origin, you can't see it alone, otherwise, there may be some danger." ”
Luo Kailing also hesitated when he heard the person say.
Ji Kaihan laughed, and deliberately provoked the general to say: "It turns out that people say that the dignified General Luo Kailing Luo is an iron-hearted hero, but now it seems that this rumor is more or less wrong." Otherwise, how can you be afraid of me? When he said this, he laughed: "What's more, it's in your mansion." ”
The so-called please general is not as good as the general, often after he provokes the general, Luo Kailing really can't stand it, Luo Kailing glanced at him, and said coldly: "Who are you?" What are you here for today? If I'm not mistaken, you're definitely not here to pay homage to your birthday, so you might as well tell the truth about something. ”
Ji Kaihan laughed and said, "Yes, I came here today, and there are indeed other things." But this matter is very important, I can only say it to General Luo, other people can't listen, I don't know if General Luo is willing to agree? Do you have the guts to listen to me? ”
Luo Kailing smiled coldly and said: "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, I, Luo Kailing, have behaved correctly and dejustly in my life, and there is nothing that I can't say to people." What's so terrible about seeing you alone? In that case, why should I see you alone? ”
Hearing him say this, the others suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly shouted, "Brother Luo, this matter must not be done." ”
"General Luo, absolutely not."
"General Luo, please listen to our persuasion, you must not see him alone, this person is unknown, his origin is unknown, if you see him alone, maybe he is sent by the enemy, and you will be in danger at that time."
Luo Kailing didn't care at all, he smiled and said, "Even if he is sent by the enemy, will he dare to assassinate me in my Luo Mansion?" If so, I'd admire the man who sent him. Don't worry, I know everything, and I know what to do, and I'm going to meet him alone, and no one of you is allowed to come with me. As he spoke, he personally said to Ji Kaihan: "Please." ”
Ji Kaihan saw Luo Kailing so calm, but it was beyond his expectations, he also admired Luo Kailing's heroism, so he smiled and said, "Then I'm welcome." With that, he took two steps forward and walked inside.
Luo Kailing led him, and the two of them came all the way to Luo Kailing's inner room.
When he arrived in the inner room, Luo Kailing glanced at him and said slowly: "I don't know why this gentleman came to me today?" I can see from my husband's speech and demeanor that you are definitely not an ordinary person, what kind of person are you? What did you come to me for? After he finished speaking, he looked at Ji Qihan, hoping that Ji Qihan would give him an answer.
Ji Kaihan laughed and said, "Of course I'm an ordinary person, but well, I did come here for something, and someone sent me." With that, he took off his beard.
Luo Kailing saw that the person in front of him was easy to look at, but after a closer look, it was obvious that he was also a person he didn't know, so he said strangely: "May I ask this gentleman, who are you?" What is the matter with Yi Rong coming to my house? In short, I Luo Kailing will never agree to things that are detrimental to the interests of the state and society, and other things can still be discussed. ”
When Ji Qihan heard him say this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, you General Luo Kailing Luo is loyal and patriotic, who doesn't know about the next generation?" Let me introduce myself first, my surname is Ji, my name is Compassion, the eldest princess is my friend, I came today, she sent me. ”
Ji Kaihan is famous all over the world, no one knows, no one knows, not to mention that he is the son of the former commander Ji Gang, Ji Gang turned the rain and clouds in Yongle and did a lot of things.
After hearing his introduction, Luo Kailing was slightly stunned and said, "It turned out to be Master Ji." ”
After Ji Qihan heard him say this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't dare to be, I have not been an official in the court for many years, how can I afford the word adult." I'm just an ordinary grass people, and today is also for my friend's business, so I came to see you, I want to find you today, I want to ask you something. I think General Luo is also a smart person, so I will get straight to the point, if there is anything that offends General Luo, please also ask General Luo Haihan. Ji Qihan said very politely.
And how Luo Kailing didn't know that the person in front of him was amazing, he helped North Korea quell the rebellion in North Korea, and it had long been spread everywhere, and everyone knew that Ji Kaihan was a very capable person, and Luo Kailing was no exception.
Luo Kailing glanced at him and said to him, "I don't know what Mr. Ji has to do, please just say it." ”
Ji Kaihan nodded and said, "Actually, what I want to tell you is very simple, I think you General Luo is also a smart person, how can you help the abuse?" Do something against the eldest princess. The eldest princess and the emperor were originally a family, everything she did was for the emperor, and you are a dignified general, because you were instigated by the Empress Dowager Zhou, you came with the emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhou to fight against the eldest princess. When the time comes, the people who will die will be the people of the world, don't you think of this? "Ji is aggressive.
When Luo Kailing heard him say this, his eyes were a little gloomy for a moment, he glanced at Ji Qihan with some hesitation, and then sat down with a long sigh and said, "The so-called monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." Even if the queen mother and the emperor want the minister to die, the minister can only die immediately, and the minister feels that there is nothing wrong with the minister obeying the orders of the queen mother and the emperor. ”
"There's nothing wrong with that? Could it be that as a general, your mission is to serve the emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhou? And what about the Empress Dowager Qian? Have you considered Empress Dowager Qian's words? Do you think Empress Dowager Qian wants you to do this? Also, have you considered the lives of the people of the world? You fought with the candle shadow led by the eldest princess and the confession door, who was injured at that time? It's not the people of the world. Lined with white bones, do you want to see such a scene? Ji Qihan pointed at him and said in a fierce voice.
In fact, Luo Kailing didn't want to rebel at all, he was instigated by the Empress Dowager Zhou, and there was no way to agree to do so, there was only one idea in his mind, that is, the king wanted the minister to die, the minister had to die, the purpose of his life was to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, since the emperor had given orders, what else was there to say? That's why he did this kind of thing.
In fact, he didn't want to do this at all in his heart, so when he was drunk, he told people that he was forced to rebel, and now when he heard Ji Tinghan's accusation, he didn't know what to say for a while.
Ji Kaihan glanced at him, and continued to say earnestly: "Maybe you will think that I came to you today because I was entrusted by the eldest princess to come to you, but in fact, this is not the case. Even from my personal point of view, I don't want to see you sink into the mud, the emperor is just because he had an awkward relationship with the eldest princess, if they want to meet each other because of the awkwardness, how much war and wind and frost will there be in the world? And you, will you be the initiator? If one day the eldest princess and the emperor get back together, won't you become a chaotic minister and thief at that time, have you thought about it so much? I know you've never thought about yourself, but don't you think about your family? ”
Luo Kailing was so shocked by his words that he couldn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, he said slowly: "The eldest princess is a woman, and she has been in charge of the government for so many years, and the emperor hopes that the eldest princess can return to power with him, which is also a reasonable thing." I was not wrong to help the emperor regain power. ”
"Don't you think you're ridiculous? How did the eldest princess control the government for decades? Has the eldest princess ever been involved in any political affairs? Only when the emperor makes a mistake, the eldest princess will come out to mention it, as an elder, it is reasonable to teach her children and grandchildren in this way. What's more, the emperor has already issued an order to ask the eldest princess to discipline the emperor on his behalf, and the emperor has done a lot of wrong things before, just like Li Xian, who was forced to death by the emperor above the court. The eldest princess punished the emperor, shouldn't this be? ”
After Luo Kailing heard him say this, he didn't know how to answer for a while, for Li Xian, Luo Kailing has always disliked him, but he doesn't like it, Luo Kailing also knows that he is a loyal minister, for such a loyal minister, Luo Kailing still admires it very much, and now the emperor forced Li Xian to death, which has always made him feel very sad, no matter what, the court has one less minister.
The deterioration of the relationship between the emperor and Jian Huaizhen is also related to this matter, and he also understands that now the relationship between the emperor and Jian Huaizhen is getting worse and worse, and they are almost about to fight each other, and he is on the emperor's side, he actually feels that it is very meaningless, after all, it is a contradiction between the emperor and the eldest princess.
In fact, it is indeed as Ji Kaihan said, the eldest princess has only mentioned the emperor for so many years, and has not seriously controlled the government or interfered in any political affairs, nor has she gone to the court to discuss things with the ministers, so it can be seen that what she has done is just an elder teaching the younger generation.
If one day, the misunderstanding between the emperor and the eldest princess melts away, and they become very friendly and harmonious ancestors and grandchildren again, if they are angry with others, Luo Kailing must be the first person to be beheaded, after all, in this matter, he has been involved from beginning to end.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat coldly.
Ji Qihan carefully observed his every move, and found that Luo Kailing seemed to be really said by himself, so he nodded slowly and said: "I know that you can't listen to what I say now, but don't forget, sometimes the Empress Dowager Zhou's decree should not necessarily be the emperor's decree, and what the Empress Dowager Zhou wants to do is not necessarily what the emperor wants to do." Actually, although I Ji Kaihan don't know much about the things in the harem, I know more or less about it, I know very well that the Empress Dowager Zhou instigated the emperor's rebellion, not that the Empress Dowager Zhou really wants to help the emperor regain this power and recapture this country, what she wants most is to control the harem in her lifetime, so that she can become the real king of ten thousand phoenixes and the lord of the six palaces. Empress Dowager Zhou did so many things for her own selfishness, can't you see it at all? Or did you already see it and just didn't want to let yourself know? I know that you are a man of lofty ideals, and I know that you are a warrior, and I know that you are willing to do anything, so I have come to persuade you not to be blinded by the impulse. Otherwise, you'll be making a decision that you'll regret for the rest of your life. ”
After hearing his words, Luo Kailing fell into deep thought for a while.
Ji Qihan saw that he was almost persuaded, so he sighed and said to him, "That's all I can tell you today. Yes, it is true that the eldest princess sent me, and I told you that she did not send me for her own selfishness, nor did she want you to take refuge in her. But let me tell you, now that the Korean army is pressing the border, a part of the Korean army has entered the capital, and the other part is stationed outside the city, the situation in this city is very dangerous, if we are not careful, the Korean army will make some moves against the Ming Dynasty, and then the world will be in chaos. As a general, will you feel comfortable? ”
Luo Kailing suddenly raised his head, looked at Ji Qihan, and said to him slowly: "Mr. Ji, thank you very much, if you don't tell me this, no one will ever tell me this." In fact, why do I want to rebel myself? The affairs of the emperor and the eldest princess are just like you said, it is always a family matter, no matter how outsiders interfere, they can't interfere, if they have to interfere, it will not be beneficial to anyone, and we, as foreign ministers, should not be involved. And the selfishness of the Empress Dowager Zhou, I also understand it in my heart, but I am indeed very pedantic, I always think that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, since the emperor asked me to do this, I have no way not to do it, but now listening to you say this, I finally distinguish the importance of the matter. Don't worry, I won't do it again. ”
After hearing him say this, Ji Qihan knew that his persuasion had an effect, so he smiled slightly and said to him: "I have long known that General Luo is an understanding person, and if he reasoned with General Luo, General Luo would definitely be able to know it in his heart. In this case, then I still hope that General Luo will stop getting involved in the affairs of the emperor and the eldest princess, the emperor and the eldest princess are originally relatives, and their affairs will naturally be solved by themselves. If outsiders interfere, it's not good, what do you think? ”
"I think so too, thank you Mr. Ji, I have all the words Mr. Ji said in my heart, since this is the case......" Thinking of this, he hesitated a little.
Ji Qihan was a little strange and asked, "What are you hesitating about?" ”
Luo Kailing said with some shame: "Yes, I have really realized that I was wrong, and I have also decided to withdraw my troops and fight against foreign enemies with you." But if the Queen Mother finds out that I did this, I don't know if she will blame me. ”
"How can Empress Dowager Zhou blame you? If she wants to blame you, she can't blame you. The Empress Dowager Zhou is indeed difficult to figure out, but no matter what, what the Empress Dowager Zhou did was just for her own selfishness. If a person is doing it for his own selfishness, then why should he help her? If it's to help her, it doesn't make any sense, am I right? ”
After hearing him say this, Luo Kailing nodded and said: "Yes, what you said is very reasonable, I definitely can't help Empress Dowager Zhou do some rebellious things in order to satisfy her selfishness, in this way, in the end, it is the people of the world who suffer." The current food is insufficient, and if it is used against one's own people, the situation will become very bad. ”
The more they talked, the more they felt sympathy for each other, and they hated each other, and both of them felt as if they had found a confidant, especially Luo Kailing, Luo Kailing felt very annoyed in his heart after the Empress Dowager Zhou made him rebel, he didn't want to do it at all, but he couldn't find a reason to resist the Empress Dowager Zhou.
And today, after Ji Kaihan persuaded him, he finally found his position, and also made him understand what he should do and what he shouldn't do, just like Ji Kaihan said, there are some things that can't be done anyway, otherwise, in the end, it will be yourself who will regret it.
It seems that in order to satisfy Empress Dowager Zhou's selfishness, he can't do anything to help her fight against Jian Huaizhen.
If Zhu Jianshen hadn't been taught by Jian Huaizhen, maybe he would have done something to kill the virtuous ministers in the future, as if he was killing Li Xian, which was very bad, since Jian Huaizhen had taught him, then the situation would be different.
Luo Kailing thought for a while, he looked at Ji Qihan, and said, "Since Mr. Ji came to me, he must have helped me think of a way out, I don't know what Mr. Ji thinks he should do next?" ”
Ji Kaihan felt that he was really smart, and he could immediately figure out that he had chosen a back path for him, so he stroked his palms and laughed and said: "It's very simple, what you have to do is to temporarily suppress your soldiers, no matter what, don't let them act rashly." If the Empress Dowager Zhou asks you to do something again, although you can tell the Empress Dowager Zhou, you just say that in today's troubled country, you can't do something against the conscience of heaven and earth anyway, otherwise, you don't know how to treat the ancestors and ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. ”
So he nodded slowly, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Ji, if it weren't for Mr. Ji, a confidant and good friend, who talked so much today, maybe I would still be confused until now." In short, I will not forget Mr. Ji's great kindness. ”
Ji Qihan laughed and said, "What a great kindness, you said these words. Ji has never thought like this, and Ji has done so many things, just hoping that the world can be a little more stable. ”
No matter what Mr. Ji's purpose is, in short, Mr. Ji's words can be described as a word to wake up the dreamer. If it weren't for Mr. Ji coming to Kailing, until now, Kailing would still be in the dark, and maybe he would continue to do big rebellious things. In short, Kailing is sincerely grateful to Mr. Ji. After finishing speaking, he bowed to Ji Xinhan.
Ji Kaihan saw that Luo Kailing was such a reasonable person, which was beyond his expectations, but no matter what, since Luo Kailing was willing to help, then this matter would be much easier.
Before coming to Luo Kailing, he was afraid that Luo Kailing would be pedantic and full of loyalty and patriotism, and it might not be so easy to persuade him when the time came, but in fact it turned out that this was not the case, which made Ji Qihan feel very comforted.
After Ji Kaihan persuaded Luo Kailing, he said to him slowly: "Okay, I can only tell you so much, and then I will go back to report to the eldest princess." I didn't expect you to be such a knowledgeable person, but it was unexpected, and it can be seen that you are very reluctant to let you beat your own people. ”
Luo Kailing smiled slightly, and said, "In that case, I'll personally send Mr. Ji out." ”
After finishing speaking, he walked out with Ji Kaihan, at this time there were already many people standing outside, and those generals surrounded the place layer by layer, they were afraid that Ji Kaihan would be unfavorable to Luo Kailing, so they had this kind of action.
Seeing the two of them walking out hand in hand, it seemed that they were still talking happily, and Ji Qihan no longer had a beard on his face, which was completely different from what he looked like just now, and now he looked very energetic, and the whole person was pearlescent, looking very temperamental, which surprised everyone.
Luo Kailing saw the surprised brothers outside, laughed, and said, "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Ji Compassion Hanji, he came to me today to persuade me of a lot of things. I'll explain to you one by one in a moment, I'll send Mr. Ji out first. ”
After speaking, he sent Ji Qihan out, leaving only the group of people behind him stunned, they probably never dreamed that this person turned out to be Ji Qihan.
After sending Ji Kaihan away, Luo Kailing told Ji Kaihan what he told him to the generals.
The generals didn't want their own people to beat their own people, not to mention that the eldest princess had done so many things for the dynasty, she was originally an idol in the minds of many people, and it was too late for these people to remember and care for her, why did they want to beat her? How do you want to fight her?
If it weren't for Luo Kailing, they wouldn't want to be enemies with the eldest princess at all, but now when they heard Luo Kailing say this, these people felt very happy.
When Luo Kailing saw the situation present, he thought to himself that there is a sentence called what everyone expects, and this is what he said, fortunately, I woke up in time, otherwise if I continue to fight like this, I must be the one who suffers at that time.
After Luo Kailing figured these things out, he told the generals one by one what to do next, this kind of thing happened on their side, which Empress Dowager Zhou and Zhu Jianshen who were far away in the deep palace did not know.
