Chapter 62: The Human Face

"Ah, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is angry!" Lord Zhao was dumbfounded, and kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, Weichen knows that he is wrong, Your Majesty is angry!" ”

"Zhao Mingde, since you have doubts about Huaizhou's ability to assassinate the history of the assassination, you can go and see for yourself, the truth, what is it!" As soon as Wu Jinghong waved his sleeves, the guards immediately came in and dragged Lord Zhao out, and Wu Jinghong turned a deaf ear to Lord Zhao's shouts.

After retreating from the court, Wu Jinghong left Qin Ruanwen behind and went to the imperial study together.

"Qin Aiqing, I will release Liu Yuan, I don't know if you are dissatisfied?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare." Qin Ruan Wen honestly lowered his head, looking like he had reformed himself, and his previous arrogance and uninhibition were completely gone.

"It's okay if you don't dare, I just hope that Qin Aiqing will restrain her words and deeds from now on, and don't let herself get into some gossip again."

"Yes, the minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's teachings." Qin Ruan Wen secretly raised his head, and the corners of his eyes were aimed at the red mangs who were following behind Wu Jinghong, and the roots of his ears gradually turned red.

Chi Mang felt it, turned his head and glared, his voice as cold as his face, "Take care of your eyes!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Ruanwen retracted his gaze in embarrassment, and muttered in his heart, Brother Liu may not be wrong, Miss Chimang is His Majesty's closest person, and she is just the child of a merchant, in order to be this official, she also left the house, and Miss Chimang is afraid that she will not look down on herself.

When he arrived at the imperial study, Wu Jinghong had just sat down, and the eunuch Wan Gonggong presented a stack of new folds, Jiuzun snatched it over, and snorted, "It's really endless, and there are more and more days by day, what is the use of you bothering to choose so many courtiers?" ”

Qin Ruan Wen buried his head and quietly followed, and was stunned when he heard Jiuzun's voice, how could this silver medal guard be so arrogant in front of His Majesty?

"Whether it's useful or not, I don't know, I have to ask the people of Yunguo." Wu Jinghong chuckled, "By the way, Qin Aiqing, I called you here because I have an errand to explain to you." ”

"Please instruct Your Majesty, the minister will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up!"

"Your Qin family has been doing business for so many years, not to mention that the family has a big business, it can also be one of the top big merchants in the imperial capital, right?" Wu Jinghong said, "The flood in Huaizhou is very serious, and the state treasury has been transferred to buy grain and send it over, and there is no surplus now." ”

"Your Majesty means ......" Qin Ruan Wen was a little dumbfounded for a while, His Majesty should let him ask the family for silver, right? In order to participate in the winter exam back then, it was a vigorous fight, and everyone in the imperial capital knew that he Qin Ruan Wen had now set up his own door and no longer had anything to do with the Qin family!

"The Eighteen Emperors Rebellion three years ago has just ended, and it stands to reason that the unification truce of all countries is for long-term peace, but I heard that the Zang State adjacent to our Yun Country has often made small moves recently, and I am afraid that something will happen, so I decided to set up a festival envoy in Yuezhou and lead an army of 100,000 to station."

Listening to Wu Jinghong's slow and methodical finishing, Qin Ruanwen breathed a sigh of relief and surprise again, His Majesty said so naked, could it be that he fell in love with himself? Do you want to give yourself the command of this army of 100,000?

"There are many generals in the imperial court, but there are few who can win my heart, Qin Aiqing, you should know how important Yuezhou is to our Yun Kingdom, although the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the journey to and from the imperial capital is also very difficult, and it is very difficult to transmit information back and forth, if it is not for someone I can trust, I really can't let go of my heart!"

Hearing this, Qin Ruanwen felt that he had to express his position, just like Brother Liu once said, he must not twist and pinch in front of His Majesty, he was not that kind of character in the first place.

"Your Majesty! The minister is willing to lead 100,000 troops, stationed at the border pass of Yuezhou, and protect the territory of my Yun country! ”

Qin Ruan Wen buried his head deeply, his blood boiling, as if something that had been deposited in his body for a long time had awakened. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, not to protect himself as his family expects, but to protect more people. Every good boy has a heroic dream, and so does he!

He Qin Ruan Wen just doesn't like those literary calculations, what he wants is the life of battlefield fighting, what he wants is the reputation of his great achievements, and what he wants is like the Shura King of Shuo, a title that makes people smell and change!

finally got admitted to the top of the martial arts examination, but he still failed to show his skills, and he had nothing to do in this court, and he could only vomit when he was with Brother Liu. He thought that only Brother Liu could understand him and support him in this life. He thought that there was no chance to realize his dream in this life.

"In that case, let's proclaim it!"

"Fengtian Chaoyun, the emperor said, today Qin Ruan Wen is the general of Zhenxi, leading 100,000 troops, to Yuezhou to guard the frontier!"

"Minister, Commander! Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

Wu Jinghong smiled softly and raised his hand, "Get up, I remember that you have never gone west, and since you are going to Yuezhou now, I have to remind you a few words." Seeing Qin Ruanwen's eyes wide and bright, Wu Jinghong chuckled, "Don't blame me for pouring cold water on you, that Yuezhou is indeed not a good place, I heard that there are hills of different heights, it is where the Woyun Mountain Range is located, and it is said that there is an active volcano in it, and there will be earth fires erupting every ten years, which is very dangerous." ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the ministers should do their best to protect every inch of land and every people!"

"Yes, you have to remember that you are not only guarding the land, but more importantly the people. I heard that because of the difficult conditions in the mountains, the people there have very little land and cannot cultivate a large area. ”

"Yes!"

Wu Jinghong paused, and then said softly, "The last problem is the most serious problem. Perhaps because of the inability to farm, many poor people climbed the mountain, occupied the mountain as king, and robbed travelers from all walks of life. In recent years, there have been bandits in the mountains, not only the merchants who come and go have been miserable, but also the people in the vicinity. This mountain bandit is the top priority for you to solve when you go to Yuezhou. ”

Qin Ruanwen's eyes shone even brighter, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will clean up the Yuezhou Mountain and return the people to a peaceful Yuezhou!" ”

Wu Jinghong sighed softly, "I don't want you to clean up, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, if you kill all the mountain bandits, it will arouse more public anger, which will backfire." ”

Qin Ruanwen didn't say anything, he had to go back and discuss these things with the staff in the palace, but he believed that there was always nothing wrong with suppressing them by force if they were against thieves.

Looking at Qin Ruanwen's performance, Wu Jinghong's heart was full of worries.

"What do you think?"

Jiuzun leaned to the side with the big knife, just in front of Qin Ruanwen, he had been resting with his eyes closed, but his ears were erect high, and he would move his eyebrows from time to time.

"This guy, with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, has never been on the battlefield, and it is useless to talk on paper, so it is best to practice in Yuezhou now." Jiuzun opened his eyes, and his expression was rare serious, "Taiping won't be long in coming, I see that you don't have a few right-hand men except General Mao who is guarding the north." ”

"Well, the master is also old, and he also brought it up by himself this time, and Nangong Chen's incident hit him too hard." Speaking of this, Wu Jinghong's mood was a little low, "Those old subordinates who followed the master also told the old man one after another, the generals at the time of my father were the real generals, and they all experienced the battlefield of the Eighteen Emperors." ”

Jiuzun blinked, and suddenly laughed a few times, "Hahaha! Do you only see those old guys with your eyes? This king is the first person on the battlefield of the Eighteen Emperors Rebellion, and now that this king is in your hands, what are you afraid of? ”

"I'm not afraid." Wu Jinghong glanced back at Jiuzun and smiled slightly, "As long as King Shura shouts, people with lofty ideals from all countries will be invited to come, and when the time comes, the cloud country will be full of natural talents, and I will no longer have to worry." ”

"Not really!"

Jiuzun looked at the quietly smiling dancer, and he was surprised in his heart.

Since when did you start to be willing to risk infamy for this woman and give everything?

Now he is a god in the Yunguo court, just like he was in the Shuoguo court, but the person on the high seat is different. The imperial brother is a rare talent, ambitious and strategic. This woman is also not inferior to the royal brother.

It's another busy life, Jiuzun follows Wu Jinghong every day, and he seems to be gradually getting used to standing quietly beside her like this, looking at her side face, or back. The battle between the court and the court has gradually decreased, this is the common problem of the officials of the Yunguo court, because of the long-term inaction, their anger has been cut a lot, since the struggle is ineffective, then don't fight!

For Wu Jinghong, these are not problems, she can unconsciously stimulate the fighting spirit of these people, and can imperceptibly influence the thoughts of these people, this is her biggest strategy, she wants to use the appeal of pyramid schemes, and take these people one by one for her own use.

"Your Majesty, the floods in Huaizhou have been controlled, and the governor of Huaizhou has been found to have committed more than ten cases of corruption and has been imprisoned. Huaizhou Assassin Shi sat in the state prefect's mansion, and I heard that in those days, there was an endless stream of people who came to complain, blocking the gate of the state prefect's mansion, and all of them shouted that they wanted to assassinate Lord Shi to eliminate harm for the people. ”

"Your Majesty, during his tenure as the governor of Huaizhou Prefecture, he colluded with the local overlords, brutalized the people, forcibly occupied the women of good families, and robbed the people of good land, the crime is unforgivable!"

"Your Majesty, the Huaizhou Assassin Shi is fair and clear, and has recorded them one by one for the people, punished the local overlords, returned the forcible land, and comforted the families of the injured and the deceased, and the people are vying for praise."

"Your Majesty, Huaizhou Thorn Shi set up an altar outside the state prefect every day to distribute food and encourage refugees to help each other, and now the disaster has been controlled, and the refugees have also been resettled."

Wu Jinghong still didn't speak from beginning to end, just watched those people stand up one after another to report the good news, with a smile on their faces that they didn't know if it was true or not.
