said that it was a little waiting, but it was enough to wait for three teas.

If you just sit in the middle hall and drink tea, appreciate calligraphy and paintings, and wait for two teas it is not difficult. It's just that standing at the foot of the stairs at this moment, chatting with Gonggong Fu from the southern style to the anecdotes of the capital to the war in the north, his legs are sore and his throat is smoking, but it is just a trivial matter, I am afraid that the topic will be exhausted, in case I talk about Oiran Fengyue with a slippery mouth with the eunuch in the palace, it will be a real sin.

It's a pity that the three girls who were sent into the house last night are all the best choices in terms of appearance and talent. I knew that His Royal Highness the Second Prince was not interested, so it would be good to stay one to accompany him.

Wang Zhi was secretly annoyed, but saw two carriages slowly driving out of the side door, the style is ordinary that is, the carriages and horses of ordinary large families, a voice came from the carriage, gentle and mellow but not refused, "Lord Wang, please get in the back carriage and go to a place with me." ”

Wang Zhi hurriedly responded, ran quickly to board the second carriage, and when he lifted the curtain, he saw that there was already a person sitting in the carriage, who was dressed in a gray cloth robe, and by the light from the window, he was holding a roll of books with yellowed covers in his hand and was fascinated, and he only raised his eyelids slightly when he heard the sound, and after a little look, he moved his attention to the book, and his voice was sparse, "Micro clothes travel, there are regular clothes in the car, just change them before getting off." ”

The carriage is not big, and it is spacious for the two to sit together. Wang Zhi hurriedly changed into the green shirt on the seat, and when everything was in order, he sat down and looked around, the interior layout of the car was minimalist, there was no superfluous arrangement, and some outside light could be seen through the curtain of the car. After a few turns, the carriage followed the straight, listening to the noise outside gradually becoming silent, and it should have been some way out of the city. Wang Zhi wondered in his heart, and wanted to ask a question or two, but he saw the expressionless face of the person opposite, and at this moment, he was about to bury himself in the book.

"No need to ask, if Your Highness wants you to know, he will naturally say that you know." The man didn't look up, but as if he knew what Wang Zhi was thinking, his voice came from the back of the book.

Wang Zhi smiled, then stopped talking, sat upright, and secretly figured out the purpose of the second prince to pull him along, seeing that the carriage was getting farther and farther and more desolate, thinking that His Royal Highness had some different thoughts because of his dissatisfaction with himself, he couldn't help but beat the drum secretly in his heart, and fine beads of sweat couldn't stop oozing from his forehead. But he is also the county guard of the third grade, no matter how arrogant and powerful the second prince is, he will not act so recklessly.

All the way up and down with the carriage bumps, all kinds of thoughts in his heart up and down surging uneasy, after a long time, Wang Zhi gradually put his mind at ease, this time he thought that he was just an outgoing petty official, just to dispose of himself, it was really not worth the labor of the second prince to go so far. While he was thinking wildly, he heard a shout from ahead, and the carriage slowly stopped.

Listen to the posture in front of you, like a checkpoint. Wang Zhi was curious, raised his hand slightly to lift the corner of the curtain, and was about to look out, but saw a bright steel knife stretching out along the place he had picked. Wang Zhi's heart trembled with fright, and he hurriedly threw away the corner curtain in his hand. I saw that the steel knife opened the curtain, and a black-faced man with a sweat towel wrapped around his head came in and took a look, and when he saw the gray-clothed scholar, his originally fierce and vicious face showed a simple smile, and even looked at Wang Zhi's eyes a little softer, and said, "Sure enough, it's Mr. Yi, it's gone for some days." ”

The gray-clothed scholar put down the scroll and nodded, "Little Bean, how are you doing lately?" Is there a letter from your hometown? ”

The black strong man named Xiaodouzi grinned and said, "The family recently bought a cow, and the old man said that he can be diligent in plowing the field." No, the family doesn't have enough land for it, so it has to ......."

Xiaodouzi was about to say a few words, but saw someone in front of him shouting, "Let's go, let's go." ”

Xiao Douzi hurriedly responded, turned around and smiled apologetically at the gray-clothed scholar and Wang Zhi, and said, "It happens that I am on duty today, but I can't accompany Gongzi and Mr. Yi." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, there's an opportunity."

The gray-clothed scholar patted the scroll and smiled warmly.

The curtain was lowered, the car continued to move forward, and the gray-clothed scholar known as Mr. Yi continued to bury his head and concentrate on reading. Wang Zhi only muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to show the slightest displeasure on his face.

After about a pillar of incense, after passing through several checkpoints one after another, the road surface finally became smooth, and it was no longer as difficult to walk as before. Through the gap in the curtain, I saw that outside surrounded by mountains, lush and densely vegetated, it was actually a valley in the middle of nowhere.

After a short walk, you will reach your destination.

Wang Zhi followed the gray-clothed scholar and jumped out of the carriage together. In front of me is an open land on a low slope, surrounded by green grass, picturesque, the second prince is standing under the tree with his hands in his hands at the moment, and a lilac robe hunts in the mountain wind. He was about to step forward to salute, but was stopped by Wei Mingxuan waving his hand in time, and said in a low voice, "There is no need to be polite here, just call me Tang Gongzi." Well, the one next to him will call him Mr. Yi. ”

Tang Gongzi.

With the surname of the world Guozuo, it is also in line with the identity of the second prince.

After all, Wang Zhi didn't dare to waste the number of courtesies, so he made a salute according to the literati style, and then looked forward in the direction of Wei Mingxuan. I saw that not far from the slope was a circle of earthen walls, and a few rejecting horses were neatly placed in the gaps. The wall does not look high, but it is extremely thick and solid, surrounded by rows of simple and neat barracks, horizontal and vertical like a grid placed side by side.

Bands of soldiers with swords and armor patrolled back and forth in the camp, marching in unison, sonorous and powerful, and the cross-cutting between teams was quite disciplined. Even if Wang Zhi is a civil official, he can clearly perceive that the atmosphere here is quite extraordinary.

This is a military village!

Wang Zhi's face was full of shock, and he forced himself to resist his urge to turn back suddenly.

As the guard of a county, Wang Zhi naturally knew that the place where the county guard army was stationed was far away from the Songlin Fort outside Xiaxiu City. Without the order of the Son of Heaven, there would never be this valley near Yang City. Moreover, judging from the momentum displayed by this patrol team, it is not comparable to those old soldiers of the guard, besides, it is the time of spring ploughing at this time, and the guards are still busy plowing and sowing seeds in their respective fields at the moment, how could they suddenly appear in this uninhabited valley.

With the appearance of such an unreported army in his own jurisdiction, Wang Zhi quickly thought about various possibilities and calculated the terrible consequences that would result. For a while, his legs and feet were soft, even in the cold weather of spring, he was sweating like pulp, wetting the newly changed green shirt and sticking it tightly to his back.

This is a real act of rebellion. For a prince, although he will not punish the nine clans, it is always indispensable to cut the lord and go to the domain for lifelong solitary confinement. Even though Wang Zhi is in the remote area of southern Xinjiang, he often hears about the brave and courageous deeds of this second prince, but how could he have thought that he would be so bold.

Wang Zhi has always been cautious in doing things for officials, and he has been up and down for many years, and finally climbed to his current position step by step with his qualifications, but the ambitions of his youth have long been worn out. If you have the opportunity to go further, it is good, but it is not a good ending to stay up and return to your hometown. Therefore, Wang Zhi never thought of betting on those princes in the past, and striving for the opportunity to ascend to the sky from the dragon's merits, even in front of the second prince who was becoming more and more prestigious, he did not have more different ideas, and only asked for a good errand and sent this master away, don't offend.

It's just that in the world, nine times out of ten, those who are unsatisfactory are unsatisfactory. The errand sent is not so easy to do, the Nanshao City Lord is an upright character on weekdays, Wang Zhi just spoke, and sure enough, there are thousands of reasons to block him back, let you intercede in every way, and you will not give an inch. Wang Zhishi couldn't find a suitable reason to excuse General Li Zheng's nephew, raped the people's daughters, killed people and destroyed the door, one by one the files were placed in front of him, the evidence was conclusive and detailed, and they were interlocking as evidence, but he couldn't find the slightest fault, so he had to go back in a huff, hoping that the second prince could read the law of the country and stop there.

It's just that the second prince doesn't seem to be as sensible and reasonable as he hoped, and he didn't even give himself a chance to speak, so he brought himself to such a fateful place.

It's terrible.

If you have never been here, have not seen it, and in the future, if such a thing happens in your own territory, this crime of negligence will naturally not be able to escape. No matter how negligent he is, he will not take the lives of Xiang Shang's head and his whole family.

But now, I came with the second prince and saw him. This time it is in line with the old saying, it is easy to get on the boat and difficult to get off the ship. Be a loyal minister to report and report, but I am afraid that if I have a fate, I will not be able to enter the Martyrs' Shrine. can be tied to the second prince, these shady things, if you don't get it right, it's a big crime to punish the nine clans.

"There are 30,000 horsemen and 30,000 foot soldiers here. As long as I forge a document on defense and let me do something from it, the prefectures will not even pay attention to it, so that it will take about ten days to reach the outskirts of Beijing, plus the city should be in the city, and it will only take one day to take Kyoto. Wang Zhi, what do you think of this plan? The second prince turned around, his eyes piercing people's hearts, and his voice was full of eagerness and excitement.

did not call Wang Taishou as usual, and Wang Zhi, who was called by his name, had no time to carefully distinguish whether the metaphor was enveloped or unfamiliar, so he hurriedly bent down obediently, in order to hide the shock on his face.

This ancestor, how can these words that have lost their heads be casually said to outsiders?

Maybe you're no longer among the outsiders? At this thought, Wang Zhi's face turned even paler, and he snorted twice, but he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

"When the time comes, this place of military training will be the land of Longxing. Wang Zhi, you are destined to leave a place in the annals of history! Wei Mingxuan leaned forward, staring at Wang Zhi's eyes face to face, he didn't care that the face of the Taishou in front of him was already difficult to see and was about to cry, he clenched his fist in front of him and waved it vigorously, while continuing to say in a voice full of fanaticism and demagogy, "Are you afraid?" When I take Kyoto, what are I afraid of, is it possible that I am still afraid of the teachers of the Qin King in various places? Wang Zhi, let me tell you, with my prestige and prestige, when I am added to the imperial robe, I am afraid that I will not even be able to make up the three-way Qinwang army! ”

Wang Zhi only felt a banging in his ears, as if there were countless second princes around him who were whispering and roaring in seductive voices, and for a while, they actually overshadowed the countless noises in the heavens and the earth. It's just that his mind is not at all these, and he was only seduced by the sentence "Liufang History" before the second prince.

There will be nothing left in the annals of history, and there will be nothing.

Whether it is successful or not, you don't have to think about it in the annals of Liufang, under the knife and pen of the historian, the rebellious ministers and thieves have been stinking for 10,000 years, which is categorically certain, and they can't escape. can be a person and an official, study and do things, in the final analysis, it is not to ask for a name in front of and behind him, thinking of this, Wang Zhi's face and heart gradually became cold, and the chill made his whole person tremble uncontrollably, and his bent waist gradually straightened up a little, although his voice was not loud, he still trembled and said, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, such a big rebellion, the lower official thinks it is inappropriate." ”

"Yo!"

Wei Mingxuan's voice stopped abruptly, but he didn't suddenly have a thunderous anger as he imagined, but looked at the Taishou in front of him who dared to rebel in front of him, as if he wanted to see a flower from his face, and he had seen enough, so he turned sideways to Mr. Yi who was not far away, laughed, and mocked, "I didn't expect that our Taishou who made a lot of money to the ministry and bought a loyal and unjudgmental Lord Taishou is still a first-class loyal minister." ”

"It's rare for Your Highness to lose a bet, so you should be happy."

After getting off the car, Mr. Yi did not follow him to stand under the big tree to look at the scenery, but was leaning on the wheel at the moment, continuing to flip through the scroll that he couldn't get tired of reading. It seems that this picturesque scenery and splendid world cannot compare to the three or two yellowed pages in his hand. Only His Royal Highness the Second Prince spoke, so it was worth him to look away, raise his head and think about it carefully, and answer very seriously.

But if you lose the bet, what's there to be happy about.

Wang Zhi thought about the inexplicability of this preface and afterword. Thinking that the matter of his filial piety to the ministry was turned over, he was a little embarrassed. Thinking that he had also moved the idea of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix along the way, he couldn't help but feel even more ashamed. However, he finally reined in the precipice, no matter how small the section is damaged, the big section is not lost, and he finally has an explanation for the country, his family, his people and himself. Thinking of this, Wang Zhi's heart relaxed slightly, and he was sighing to himself, but he heard Wei Mingxuan smile in his ears, and his words were full of ruthlessness, and he suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and he couldn't even breathe.

"Loyal ministers are good, loyal ministers die quickly!"
