Chapter 62: Six Invitations and Six Rejections
The king of Lingnan sent people to inquire about the affairs of Ning Ze in the arsenal, because a large number of displaced people settled in Huajun, and they all received Ning Ze's favor, and the rich merchants and gentry in the city befriended him, and it was the same as what the four brothers of the Liang family said.
Liang Teng said again: "The arsenal order knows me very well, and I am afraid that he also knows that the three strategies will not be accepted. So it seems...... Could it be that we had already expected that our father and son would submit to the prince, so I wanted to relay it to the prince through my mouth, so as to attract the prince's attention?"
"Is it possible?" said King Lingnan in surprise, "At that time, I could have expected that you would surrender to our army, could it be that this person has the ability of ghosts and gods?"
"It's impossible to say it anyway, right?" Liang Yun said, "Is the Arsenal Order so powerful?"
"Pretty good, right? At least none of his tactics failed. Liang Jing said.
"But no matter how you say it, it's impossible to calculate that we ......will surrender," Liang Yun shook his head.
"Probably a coincidence!" Liang Shun said.
"Hmm~ I also think it's a coincidence, I must have thought too much!" Liang Teng touched his beard and turned his head and said.
King Lingnan lowered his head and thought for a long time, then said: "Don't worry about him in this matter, at least Wukuling is a talented person, but this king can't figure it out, and they talked about it very well before, why did they suddenly drive this king out? Honestly? This king did not hide anything. Wait! It's ......."
"What do you think, Lord?" asked Fluttershy, the maid, softly.
"This king probably knows the reason!" King Lingnan stood up, "I see. ”
"Lord Wang, what's going on?" the Liang family's father and son looked dazed.
"Liang Duyou, this matter will be handled by the king himself, and your father and son will arrange Liang Taishou's aftermath first. Fluttershy!"
"The servant is here!"
"You are responsible for assisting Liang Duyou and a few sons, and you must bury Liang Taishou in a grand manner!" said King Lingnan, "I'll go and meet the arsenal order for a while!"
"Lord, do you want to go alone?" said the maid Fluttershy, "No, it's too dangerous!"
"It's okay! This king will bring the militia, not to mention that I have already met once just now, and the arsenal order is not a threat to this king. ”
So the king of Lingnan led his troops out of the city again and came to the other side of the Mijiang River single-handedly: "Arsenal order, this king is here! You just said that you should be honest, this king will never hide anything!"
After shouting, the ghost-faced general Wang Wei came out after a while: "Sir, please!"
The king of Lingnan asked the militia to wait outside, followed into the camp tent, and came to Ning Ze again.
"The prince went and returned, I don't know what you have to do?" Ning Ze sat in the front seat, still with that rude posture.
King Lingnan didn't care, stepped forward and said, "I was halfway through the conversation, and I didn't finish it. Sir blames this king for not being honest enough, because this king is hiding his own ambitions? Then this king will also tell you the truth, yes! Although he is the son of the first emperor, no one in the court will support this king. There is a deep reason for this, and there is also a royal family secret hidden!
"Please be seated!" Ning Ze smiled and nodded.
King Lingnan sat on the side, raised his head and said: "Everyone in the world thinks that the first emperor and the Youdi have a deep brotherhood, but they don't know that there is another hidden secret. The king was young at the time and did not know what was going on, and it was his mother who later told him the truth. It is not true that the world thinks that the first emperor was weak. The first emperor was in the prime of life at the time, but he suddenly fell seriously ill and had to be served before he could eat. As the favorite concubine of the first emperor, her mother was denied visits. Later, when he bought the eunuch Jiang Zhe, he learned that the first emperor was not infected with the disease, but was poisoned. It was Emperor You who sent someone to secretly poison my father! Later, he falsely passed on the edict, and Zen was located in Emperor You. Emperor You succeeded to the throne, immediately dispersed the harem, and sent my mother and son to Huajun, and named me the king of Lingnan County. He thought that no one knew about this, but he didn't know that his mother remembered it in his heart, and he taught this king since he was a child, asking this king to avenge the first emperor and regain the country! It is forbidden for anyone to write about it, and those who violate it will be immediately beheaded! For more than ten years, Dacheng has no ministers in Dacheng who are in love with the first emperor, and they no longer remember this king. This king never dared to forget it, and vowed to kill Emperor You in his lifetime, avenge his father, and regain the country that belonged to this king! Now this king can't avenge his father's revenge, but he also wants to recapture the country. Only the king and his henchmaid Fluttershy know about this. His mother has passed away, and Arsenal Ling is the third person in the world to know about it. This king has already told me frankly that the arsenal order is willing to join our army and fight the world with this king?"
After listening to the story of King Lingnan, Ning Ze sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that there would be such a thing?
"This king has told me frankly, is your Excellency willing to join our army?" asked the king of Lingnan again.
Although the prince told a royal secret that shocked Zaixia, this move also made Zai Xia particularly moved. I'm just waiting for the prince to be honest with the truth, I wonder if the prince can be open and honest without any concealment?"
Hearing this, the King of Lingnan showed a puzzled expression: "This king is already honest enough, why does the arsenal order say this? Even the secret history of the imperial family that should be buried deep in his heart is told the truth, what else do you want to hear?"
"Lord Wang really doesn't know?" Ning Ze asked with a smile.
"I really don't know, Your Excellency might as well say what you want to hear from this king's mouth, what do you want to make this king honest?" Lingnan Wang stood up, "This king has been courteous enough to you, why can't you tell you frankly? What do you need this king to explain? or what can you be honest about?"
"As I said below, mutual trust between monarchs and ministers is the most important!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "The prince still has one thing that he can't be honest, and he can't accept the invitation." In fact, if it is inconvenient for the prince to tell him frankly, there is no need to force it. It can only show that you and I have no fate as kings and ministers!"
"So what do you want this king to be honest about?"
"The most important thing, if the prince can't even think about this, he is not the Ming Lord he is looking forward to! The wise lord is good at introspection, and he will definitely be able to understand what the courtiers say!" Ning Ze waved his hand, "Ghost face, send off!"
"Wow!" Wang Wei re-entered the camp, "Lord Wang, please!"
The king of Lingnan was sent outside the camp again, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and secretly said that this person did not deliberately shirk and did not want to serve me? Has he already promised Zhou Xuan, so this is the case? In this case, why bother with him?
But thinking about it again, judging from Ning Ze's attitude, he didn't completely refuse, as if he was really entangled in something.
He always wants to be honest with himself, what does he mean exactly?
Returning to the city with doubts, I thought about it.
"That's right!" suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Could it be that when the city was broken, it was about to be successful, but the militia appeared and broke the strategy." I want the king to be honest about why this militia came? It turns out that he is a man who does not admit defeat. ”
Immediately he went out of the city again, and came to the front of the camp again.
Wang Wei invited him into the account, and after the king of Lingnan entered, he immediately said: "What do you want to know about the militia in the city? Since he was a child, this king has followed his mother's teachings, and knows that the people are the foundation of great success, and as a royal family, he must love the people, so he often understands the suffering of the people. In Huajun, there are footprints of this king, and there are countless people who have helped. Liu Bao supported the king to come to Huajun, and the king gave the people the land of the Liang family equally, and appeased the displaced people, just for the city to live and work in peace and contentment, and the people did not complain. Therefore, he won the support of the people, and when he learned that the city was broken, some righteous people spontaneously protected the king......."
"Is the prince here to show off the people's aspirations with me?" Ning Ze smiled and waved his hand, "Ghost face, send off!"
"Whoa!"
The king of Lingnan was sent out three times, and he was not ashamed, although he was not very happy in his heart, he was still thinking: "Is it not because of this? Then what does he want this king to be honest about? Is it about the destruction of the Liang family, but this king really did not participate in ......?"
So he asked Wang Wei to pass the word again, entered the camp for the fourth time, and told the truth about the massacre of the Liang family by Liu Bao.
was soon asked out of the tent again, and he was even more confused.
I was rejected a total of six times in circles, and the sun set in the west.
King Lingnan could only go back to the city first, but he kept thinking about what went wrong.
Now he doesn't care about Ning Ze's rude behavior at all, he just wants to find out what the other party is making him honest.
However, after thinking about it, I still have no clue.
Until late at night, I sat in my bedroom and looked at the candlelight, meditating.
"Lord, it's late at night. Fluttershy enters the room, closes the door and whispers, "Servant serves you to rest." ”
"Hmm!" King Lingnan gets up and spreads his arms, allowing Fluttershy to strip her clothes.
"Lord, are you still thinking about that?" Seeing his absent-mindedness, Fluttershy whispered, "It's just an impudent fanatic, so why bother?
"Oh!" King Lingnan raised his arms, still looking up in thought.
What does he want me to be honest about?
This king no longer has any secrets, and everything he can say has been said. This person doesn't know what to say, it's really a person who is in a hurry to die!
Now it's not a matter of whether he can be recruited or not, but this king must find out what he means by honesty.
What went wrong?
"Ah!" was thinking about it, and the king of Lingnan suddenly let out a painful cry.
"The prince forgives you, did the servant accidentally hurt you?"
"It's okay, it's okay! It's this chest that has been strangulating for a day, and it's really uncomfortable. King Lingnan sighed, "It seems that the chest is too small, and tomorrow you will prepare another one for this king." ”
"Oh!" Fluttershy breathed a sigh of relief as she helped King Lingnan to the screen, "Lord Lord, please take a bath." ”
"Hmm!" Following the maid forward, King Lingnan suddenly stopped and looked down at himself for a long time, "Wait!"
"What's the matter, my lord?
"No, I want to ......," King Lingnan frowned, "he can't mean this......, right? But...... But I really can't think of anything other than this. Could it be that this person really has the power of ghosts and gods, and the so-called frank confession refers to the true identity of this king? No, no, no, it is impossible...... But this king has already asked for it six times, and there is no other possibility. Or...... Tomorrow I will go to him to find out the news? This matter must be clarified, otherwise this king will have trouble sleeping!!"
