The carriages and horses were sparkling, from the vegetable market street to Yongdingmen Street, all the way to the inner city.

Song Nan did not ride a horse, but shared a car with Zhu Fengtong. Both of them were silent, Song Nan's eyes looked at the street outside the car window, the Jinyi Guard's pro-army and the regimental battalion soldiers and horses were fully armed to block the street market, to ensure that there was no aftermath of yesterday's incident in the capital, although Song Nan announced in public last night that he was not to blame for the past, but in fact, the relevant search and arrest have never stopped, and Song Nan has no intention of stopping it, this qiē must be done, it is not enough to punish Yang Ting and one person, but also to dig out all the corners and corners of the root system, even if it is to spare them, It is also necessary to let them make a voice for impeachment of Yang Tinghe.

Zhu Fengtong's eyes kept looking at Song Nan's side face, and the love in his eyes was complicated and difficult to understand, both entangled in love and seemed to be a little sad.

Finally, Zhu Fengtong broke the silence and called softly: "Song Lang." ”

Song Nan turned his head and saw the complicated love in Zhu Fengtong's eyes, smiled and stretched out his hand to hold Zhu Fengtong's hand and said, "What?" ”

Zhu Fengtong shook Song Nan's hand behind his hand, and said softly: "Song Lang, the slave family is not to blame for asking too many questions, but the slave family is very worried and uneasy in their hearts, can they ...... A few words for Lang Jun? ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "Why not?" Just ask, if there's anything you want to ask, just ask. ”

Zhu Fengtong lowered his head lightly, and finally mustered up the courage to ask: "Song Lang, I don't know what you think about the future of the Ming Dynasty?" I know you're not a power-hungry person at heart, but now that you're above 10,000 people, do you have any other ideas than fulfilling your promise to Princess Corning? ”

Song Nan was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "I won't tell you, I have come to this point, of course, to fulfill my promise, but in fact, I have also been pushed step by step to the present; I never expected this today. I didn't expect the emperor to die so soon, nor did I expect that for the sake of the new emperor's candidate, Yang Tinghe would fight with me to the point of war, the emperor's bones are not cold, but we are fighting, this is not my victory, but the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Fengtong said softly: "Then ...... Fait accompli, what do you plan to do in the future? ”

Song Nan stared at Zhu Fengtong with a pair of beautiful eyes and said: "I know what you want to ask, I am afraid that your question is also what many people want to ask, many people are thinking, the Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty, and after the new emperor ascends the throne, he is just a puppet supported by me, and I, Song Nan, am the powerful minister who controls the government, from now on, this world is my Song Nan's world, right?" ”

Zhu Fengtong didn't answer, but her expression obviously affirmed Song Nan's statement.

"Not only the subjects and the people have such thoughts, in fact, the emperor had a long talk with me when he was dying, he asked me to swear never to seize the Ming Dynasty, not to have a rebellious heart, it can be seen that the emperor has hidden worries in his heart. But the emperor still handed over the burden of assisting the new emperor to me in his edict, which shows that in this matter, the emperor knows me better than everyone in the world, even my family, including you. ”

Zhu Fengtong said in a panic: "Song Lang, the slave family didn't mean that, the original intention of the slave family was to remind you that since ancient times, there has been no ...... in power There is no good end, although the momentum is temporary, it is inevitable that there will be a day of reckoning. The slave family wants to sue Song Lang that even if he has authority in the future, he should act carefully and carefully. I'm sorry, the slave family may not like to listen to what they say, but this is what the slave family wants to say to you, you know that the slave family loves Song Lang very much, the love is deep, and the love is cut. Maybe the slave family is too talkative, please don't be angry. ”

Song Nan smiled and stretched out his hand, hugged Zhu Fengtong into his arms, and kissed her lightly on the face: "What do you think of me, do you really think of me as the emperor?" Talking to me is so cautious and taboo? In the Song Mansion, I'm afraid that only you can tell me these things, you are from the county lord of the palace, you are a knowledgeable person, people have no immediate worries, you must have long-term worries, you are worried about the future, but also for my good, why am I angry? ”

Zhu Fengtong buried his head in Song Nan's arms and said in a low voice: "It's good that you understand, the slave family is really worried, now that you have a heavy army, and the lord is a high-ranking official, when it is beneficial to you, the hundred officials in the court will certainly not do anything to you?" Moreover, according to the emperor's edict, you have to master the major affairs of the court before the new emperor's pro-government, in fact. In the future, whether it is right or wrong, it will be yours. One day in the future, when the emperor is in power, these things will be liquidated, and hundreds of officials in the court and the central government will also flock to the top, and the wall will fall down and everyone will push it, and this is what the slave family is worried about. Have you considered any of these? ”

Song Nan smiled dumbly and said: "What you said about me is cloudy and foggy, in your heart, do you think what I did today is a rebellious act?" ”

Zhu Fengtong hurriedly said: "No, no, how can the slave family have this intention?" ”

Song Nan said: "Then why did you say anything about the future reckoning?" ”

Zhu Fengtong blushed and said, "The meaning of the slave family is...... It's ......"

Song Nan smiled and said softly: "I'll answer for you, in fact, there is no reason for liquidation, the first spearhead of the new emperor's government is me, there is no need for any reason, no emperor wants to have a minister in the court who is above him, and has the power to control the overall government of the court, no matter whether he has what kind of achievements the court has done, as long as this emperor wants to become the emperor, the first thing to do is to bring down this person." There are countless examples of this throughout the ages, to put it bluntly, if you don't kill the ministers, how can the new emperor be powerful and control the world? ”

Zhu Fengtong nodded and said: "This is exactly what the slave family means, since you know this, you know why I said so much today." ”

Song Nan stroked her face and said slightly: "I promised the emperor to assist the new emperor until he is in charge of affairs, and no one can predict what will happen in the future, in fact, it is not impossible to protect myself, if I am not afraid of the mouth of the world, many methods can be used, I am not worried about the future." ”

Zhu Fengtong said softly: "The slave family knows that you can completely make the person sitting on the throne obedient, and anyone from the Zhu family can sit in that position, it depends on whether you choose him or not, but it will be ...... that way."

Song Nan said: "Yes, in that case, I will become a real rebel of the Ming Dynasty, and I naturally have the right to choose an emperor who has no power to resist, but I will not do that, and I can't do that." I won't be a rebel and thief, because I have a promise with the emperor, and you understand my attitude towards promises, no matter how big or small, but I will do what I promise. ”

Zhu Fengtong smiled and said: "The slave family knows that Lang Jun is a person with a lot of money, Feng Tong has learned this, I think Princess Kang Ning in the palace also knows that Lang Jun's promise will be fulfilled, so she will always believe that there will be today and wait hard." ”

Song Nan turned his head to look out of the car window and said lightly: "Feng Tong, since you talked about these things today, I will tell you what I think in my heart." I didn't think about what the future would hold, or what would happen in eight or ten years; I admit that I am not a person who can disregard personal life and death, but I am also not a selfish person bound by fame and fortune. In the past eight years, I have seen many things and experienced many things personally, and at first I was fighting for personal success and for the glory of my ancestors' wife and concubines, but the deeper I got involved, the more I could not feel at ease. The Ming Dynasty has reached this day, and if no one worries about the future of the country, but only for the future of the individual, it will be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to prosper. ”

Song Nan sighed, turned his head to look at Zhu Fengtong with blazing eyes, Zhu Fengtong hugged Song Nan's arm tightly, his eyes were confused, and he listened to Song Nan continue.

"The rise and fall of a time is small, but it is very big, it is the people who suffer, and it is the people of the world who suffer. If you see thousands of miles of uninhabited ruins, if you see the ragged people who die of hunger and cold in the streets on a cold night, if you see the dry bones on the grassy hillside in the sunset, you will sigh like me. Since I am in the Ming Dynasty and in my current position, I cannot help but consider changing this qiē. I can't think about what the future holds, and I have secretly sworn that before the new emperor ascends the throne, these eight . In nine years, he will use the power in his hands to change the status quo of the Ming Dynasty, at least let the world be peaceful, the people will have food and clothing, no longer be displaced, no longer suffer from war, and let them live in peace and stability. These things have been haunting my heart for nearly a year, and I know that I can't get rid of this sense of responsibility, if I can't control my own destiny, whoever wants God to put me in this position, then I have to do something. ”

Zhu Fengtong's face turned crimson, his breathing became short, his eyes burst out with a strange look, and he looked at Song Nan for a long time, and finally said softly: "Feng Tong didn't see the wrong person, Feng Tong knows that Song Lang is definitely not a person, Song Lang, no matter what happens in the future, Feng Tong will be by your side, life is the same life, and death is the same death." ”

Song Nan laughed, in her abundance. pinched his buttocks and said: "I still want to live to the end of my life, what is life and death, bad luck." Ming Shifang arrived, you arrived home, I got out of the car and went into the palace, I came to see you later, and when the major events in the court were settled, I would carry a sedan chair to marry you into the door. ”

Zhu Fengtong nodded in agreement, Song Nan got up to get out of the car, Zhu Fengtong suddenly said, "Song Lang." ”

Song Nan turned his head, Zhu Fengtong reached out to hug his head and neck, a soft and fiery lip kissed Song Nan's mouth, Song Nan turned around and hugged her tightly, kissed her fiercely, and then got out of the car and rode away.
