Chapter 937: The common people are thoughts
Huang Huai died.
Immediately after, Xu Jingming came out of the edict very happily, and he saw Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, at first sight, Zhu Hu looked at him with a smile, like an old friend who had not seen him for many years.
Xu Jingming's 'tiger body was shocked' and immediately realized.
He couldn't help but burst into tears, and for a while he fell in love with the old thing of King Zhou, he almost died in the edict prison, and the sky was pitiful, at this time, the Langshan army will definitely win.
Because of this, he immediately transformed into an important figure at the top, Xu Jingming looked at Zhu Hu with a smile, saluted, and said, "Xu Jingming, a grass person, has seen His Royal Highness." ”
Zhu Hu shook his head and said: "Dingguo Gong doesn't have to be polite, let alone arrogant, before the Son of Heaven listened to slander, he actually collided with Dingguo Gong, it's really ashamed, now the traitor has been ambushed, the weather is updated, congratulations." ”
Xu Jingming couldn't help but say: "But I don't know who the traitor is?" Huang Huai? ”
Zhu Lu pursed his lips and smiled lightly, and said lightly: "This old horseman, this king and Hao Zheng have already had a few fates, and they sympathize with each other, but he has repeatedly slandered, so that the court has been deceived, and he has done a lot of foolish things...... Hey......"
His gesture was very realistic, but at this time, Xu Jingming couldn't understand the truth or falsehood, so he just sneered: "Then what is Your Highness's plan?" ”
This is the most critical place, Zhu Hu sighed, and said: "The winner is the king, the loser is the villain, how can this king not know these truths, this king only hopes that the Hao family can open the net, so this king invited you to come, I hope you will go out of the city immediately to see Hao Fenglou." And depending on what he means, if he is willing to guarantee the safety of the clan. This king is willing to persuade the Son of Heaven to open the city and beg to surrender. ”
And so. Xu Jingming is on the road.
When he arrived in Zhenjiang, he was shocked by the defeat of the soldiers along the way, many new troops were trained by him, and now, seeing them like this, Xu Jingming couldn't help but feel a little sad, these hard work was vulnerable, although their defeat was very in line with Xu Jingming's interests. But after all, it still made his heart twitch.
Outside the city, the Langshan army is burying the dead soldiers, all of them are dressed in filial piety, with a solemn expression, Xu Jingming found a garrison soldier, explained the intention, and after a while, he was invited into a deserted camp outside the city.
When I saw Hao Fenglou again, Hao Fenglou was wearing a filial piety robe. Looking tired, he only glanced at Xu Jingming and said, "You're back?" ”
Xu Jingming said with a little respect: "Yes, it is fortunate not to be humiliated." Finally came back alive. Your Highness, how are you? ”
"What do you say?" Hao Fenglou asked rhetorically.
Xu Jing was obviously dumbfounded, and he looked at Hao Fenglou. I saw that Hao Fenglou didn't have much expression on his face, but there was grief in the corners of his eyes. I had no choice but to say: "Congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness He Xi defeated the Ming army in Zhenjiang." When Jinling was discouraged and humbled, he was entrusted by the king of Zhou, and the king of Zhou begged His Highness to open the net, as long as His Highness was willing to nod, they immediately opened the city gate and were willing to surrender. ”
Hao Fenglou narrowed his eyes, and then said coldly: "Open the net? If the net is opened, then how should the brothers who died a few days ago give them an explanation? ”
"......" Xu Jingming was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, do you still want to fight?" If you fight again, I really don't know how many more people will die, and the imperial court will not surrender, then there are still many remnants of the Ming army in various places, His Royal Highness has conquered Jinling, and he will go on a northern expedition and a westward expedition, so wouldn't there be more deaths? The humble is not trying to contradict His Royal Highness, but he just thinks that fighting a war is a war, and someone must die in a war, and some words may be out of place, but His Royal Highness and His Majesty have also called him a brother and a brother, and this person is indeed calculating, but since he entered the edict and was tortured, His Highness, I have understood, and I am really enlightened at this time, so the right should be courageous, so I simply said it. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Jingming paused for a moment before continuing: "Your Highness feels sorry for the dead soldiers, they are dead, of course it's a pity, but what can it be?" People can't be resurrected after death, the only thing His Highness does is to build a shrine for them, build a temple, care for their families, and feed their children, and His Royal Highness still has a lot to do, now this world, full of holes, can no longer fight to death, His Royal Highness is now the prince, but in the future he is the Son of Heaven, it is time to take precautions, to plan for the future, the people need to recuperate, and the soldiers should also be disarmed and returned to the field, Your Highness, this time is different from the past, what I used to think was to win the world immediately, but now it is time to rule the world immediately, this rule the world, How can you be emotional, how can you start the war again just because of Your Highness's own selfishness, for Your Highness to feel worthy of those soldiers who have suffered from suffering? I Xu Jingming ......" The more Xu Jingming spoke, the more excited he became, and said: "When I was in prison, I reviewed my life, thought about it carefully, and said something ugly, I am really not a fucking thing, but His Royal Highness is different, Xu Jingming has harmed people a lot in this life, but His Royal Highness has a heavy burden on his shoulders, His Royal Highness wants to establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations, in this case, how can there be personal feelings?" ”
"From now on, His Royal Highness is no longer just the commander of the Langshan Army, but the commander of the world's soldiers and horses, and His Royal Highness is not just the crown prince of Langshan and Guangdong, but the crown prince of the world.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Jingming continued: "There are some things, called bystander Qing, I know that His Highness is still indignant and still with hatred in his heart, but I will only say the last paragraph, Your Highness, a few days ago, you stood on the mountainside, what you saw and appreciated, was only the scene on the mountainside, and now, you have stood on the top of Mount Tai, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are in the eyes of His Highness, and all the living beings you see are all His Highness's subjects, Your Highness, do you want to let your subjects kill your own subjects and let your own world." , will the war start again? Enough, by today, it is enough, the world has been decided, the victory and defeat have been divided, although we can't meet at first sight, but since the previous page has been turned over, why should Your Highness look back, people...... After all, it is necessary to look forward. The humble words have been finished, and they are not worthy of the words, His Royal Highness holds the power of life and death of the lowly, which will cut off my Xu Jingming's head, and the humble has nothing to say. ”
Hao Fenglou couldn't help but be moved, he suddenly discovered a truth, a person who is not very good suddenly talked about the big truth, it is really terrible.
It's just Xu Jingming's words, does it make sense?
He was still in a bad mood with his hands behind his back, but suddenly, he smiled.
"There seems to be some truth to what you said, but it's not the same time anymore. By the way, you're fine, you've been sent to prison, have you suffered anything there? ”
Xu Jingming suddenly showed a look of pain and said, "Your Highness, be humble...... Humble ......" Speaking of this, Xu Jingming began to cry: "Humble is really nine deaths, almost can't see His Royal Highness, those guys are really not things, torture me every day, drip candles on me and play, and ...... Also with a leather whip...... Tie me up ......"
Hao Fenglou asked, "Did you strip off your clothes and pour dogwood water into your backyard?" ”
Xu Jingming raised his eyes and said in astonishment: "Your Highness is really clever and calculated, how can you even know this?" ”
Hao Fenglou sighed and said ashamedly: "This is all invented by this king." ”
"Your Highness Shengming, ......" Xu Jingming couldn't cry or laugh.
Hao Fenglou picked him up and said, "You have suffered, but don't worry, your merits are remembered by this palace, you get up." ”
Xu Jingming got up slowly, and since Hao Fenglou promised, he finally felt a little at ease.
Hao Fenglou looked at him suddenly, he thought of a scene a long, long time ago, at that time, he and Zhu Gaosui, who was still the king of Zhao at the time, fled to Beiping together, they were sitting on the boat, he remembered that Zhu Gaosui had looked at him very seriously and asked him, are we friends? What Hao Fenglou's answer was, even he couldn't remember clearly, because his impression of this person had gradually blurred, and even Hao Fenglou couldn't identify it, he also glanced at Xu Jingming sideways, and said: "Xu Jingming, you and I have sworn brothers, this palace wants to ask you, we ...... Are you a friend? ”
Xu Jingming breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw Hao Fenglou ask like this, he was suddenly startled, and hurriedly bowed down again in panic: "Your Highness...... How dare you ...... a lowly person?"
Hao Fenglou smiled, smiling a little sadly.
Yes, he never had friends, even if he was, or even if he was...... I had a little fantasy, but I always woke up from my dreams, is this a great task from heaven? Still is...... Destiny?
His eyes became deep and indifferent, in fact, many times, even he himself has forgotten when he is always so deep, always showing majesty, no longer joking, no longer emotionally exposed, he just glanced at Xu Jingming deeply, and said lightly: "Is the Queen Mother okay?" ”
Xu Jingming nodded and said, "Your Highness, it's very good." ”
Hao Fenglou said with a light smile: "Oh, it seems that in a few days, I should go to the Wanshou Palace to see me." ”
"Your Highness means, in a few days...... Accept the ...... of King Zhou"
Hao Fenglou's eyes were a little cold, and he said with a majestic face: "This palace is the crown prince of the world, the Zhu family is in decline, and the Hao family is prosperous, so this palace naturally wants to think of the common people in the world." (To be continued......)
