Chapter 407 Life and Death Have the Same Root, and Sink and Float Together (Autobiography) IV
Jiang Xingze is my brother who lives and dies, but he is more like my family.
Since we were young classmates, we have been like a branch, and we have rarely separated.
Half a lifetime of communication, he understands my mind, understands my ambitions, and understands everything about me.
During the days when Jiang Xingze was seriously ill and bedridden, I felt as if I had lost my soul, and the six gods had no master.
Even my ambition to dominate the Central Plains has wavered.
After all, after winning the country, if there is no brother by his side, even if he will be the top, what is the point?
can be said like this: If Jiang Xingze didn't bring a handle, I would never be with my sister Jiang Lanye.
If my sister Jiang Lan's life can be exchanged for Jiang Xingze's longevity, I think this deal is a good deal!
......
I stood in the doorway for a long time, and all kinds of fragments of the past came to my mind, and they flashed in front of my eyes like a marquee, until the picture changed from the past to the present.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and finally took a step towards the bed.
Although it was difficult, I soon came to the couch, and a case was placed horizontally on the couch, and when I got close, Jiang Xingze turned over and sat in front of the case, looking at me with a smile, "Come on, brother! Look, healed from a serious illness, find two girls tonight, and open meat?"
I looked at Jiang Xingze, and suddenly my eyes turned red, my eyelids blinked, and tears almost came out of my eyes.
In the smoke of medicine, Jiang Xingze was well-dressed, his sideburns were distinct, and there were still some sweat stains on his forehead, which seemed to be dry, obviously to see the appearance I had just tidied up, and in order to see me with a full attitude, he should have done his best to pick himself up.
My brother's chest rose and fell violently, and it could be seen from the wide and ill-fitting clothes that the torture of illness had made him so thin that he was only skinny and boneless, except for a pair of bright eyes like stars, and his person was the same as he had been a few years ago.
This year's flowers, next year's flowers, it's finally a white boy's head!
He looked at me with a smile, and I couldn't hold back my sadness, and reluctantly quipped, "With your current body, even if you are a young child on the battlefield, you can not get out of bed for three days!"
Jiang Xingze waved his hand and continued to look at me with a smile, "This joke is not funny at all. Sure enough, you're not a joke."
I burst into tears and cried, "Brother, tomorrow, tomorrow I will ask Xiahou Butler to send you to Luofuguan, Ge Hong is now a Daomen Bull Ear Leader, with his promise back then, he will save you from fire and water!"
Jiang Xingze coughed violently twice, as if he was about to cough out his lungs, he covered his mouth tightly, held his breath, and forcibly stopped coughing, "Good steel is used on the blade, Ge Hong is now a member of the Taoist Court, and he responds to every call in Jiangnan, and his favor is to use the biggest resistance when you are fighting for world domination, not on me." Don't worry, I still want to be your prime minister, and I will never pick and choose in this Taihao City!"
I was about to speak, but Jiang Xingze stretched out his hand to interrupt me, and he laughed heartily, "Jiang Feng, the god of war in the Central Plains, when did he become such a mother-in-law? It's not good."
Jiang Xingze didn't say much to me, he beckoned to me and motioned for me to sit down.
He seemed a little impatient, and as soon as I sat down across from him, he said, "Today, I will have a good chat with you about the general situation, and you must listen carefully, and perhaps, no one will tell you these great truths in the future."
My lips kept quivering, but I didn't dare to make any sound, and nodded very deeply.
Jiang Xingze looked out the window, his eyes revealing wisdom, "In and out of dreams, I have repeatedly deduced, in recent years, Liu Yan has secretly supported the old eight clans of Quzhou in the south, placed the Xuanjia Army in the north, established the Pingtian Army, stationed a large army in the west of Dezhao County to prevent us from invading Gyeonggi, and arranged a strong enemy like Zhao Yuhai in the east.
Speaking of this, he looked at me earnestly, "Brother, you and I don't have a big sense of righteousness, if we can't eat the Zhao family as soon as possible and open up the Bohai Sea Road, I'm afraid we will die without a place to bury!"
I strengthened my mind and asked Jiang Xingze, "The eldest husband should be famous in the world, back then
Is it wrong for you and me to agree to become the king of Quzhou?"
Jiang Xingze shook his head with a smile, "When I was a child, people beat me, and after you hear it, no matter who is right or wrong, you have to fight back for me." If it was like that back then, it is the same today, if you want to be the king of Quzhou, I should do my best to help you, even if the other party is the Son of Heaven, so what's the matter?"
I was so moved that I couldn't speak for a while.
Jiang Xingze grinned, "While I'm still sober, there are some things that need to be planned for my brother, and my brother is still willing to listen?"
I pursed my lips and whispered, "When did I not listen to you?"
"Good!" Jiang Xingze's mood fluctuated slightly, and after saying this, he actually gasped for a while before he said, "Rumor, pass on the officials above a thousand stones, come to Taihao Hall to discuss matters."
I turned my head and coldly ordered the guard, "Why don't you do it quickly? Do you want me to go myself?"
The guards were about to receive the order to leave, when they were suddenly stopped by me, "Tell them all to come here, you don't have to go to the Taihao Palace, my brother is inconvenient to move."
Jiang Xingze didn't care about these subsections, the guy paused, and said, "Brother, if you want to win at this time, you can only rely on strong reinforcements outside Quzhou, and this strong reinforcement, I have two for my brother, one is the sericulture gate in Fengzhou, and the other is the powerful Leling Duan family in Linzi County. No matter how bad it is, no matter how bad it is, it can ensure that the Jiang family is safe. Ahem!"
After saying this in one breath, Jiang Xingze's strength was not strong, I hurriedly gathered my thoughts to smooth his qi, treat him a little better, and said to me, "To win the support of the Duan family, according to the original plan, Xie Wei will be mainly engaged in engineering, and another master will be sent to sit in charge, and the Qingyin Pavilion will assist from the side, and Xu will make heavy profits, and ask him to hook up with the Linzi family and attack the rear of the Zhao family by water. In such a battle, the Zhao family will definitely withdraw from Fanggu County, either to the north or south, and our army has captured the port to the east, leaving a way for the future to claim that the king will not succeed and flee by water!"
I silently calmed it down and made no sound.
Jiang Xingze calmed down, and said to me, "As for the sericulture gate in Fengzhou, my brother doesn't have to worry, after the injury is healed, I will go to Fengzhou for my brother."
"No!" When I heard this, I was so anxious that I said, "I won't let you be alone in danger! Those who govern Quzhou with me will be Brother Jiang. If anything happens to you, to whom should I, the prime minister, be left to?"
"Brother, listen to me!" Jiang Xingze's face turned pale, and his chest fluctuated even more, "The children of the farmer's sericulture sect are all over the world, and with the support of the farmer's family, the hearts of the people in the three counties of Dezhao, Fanggu, Linzi and Taihao City will be greatly stabilized. Moreover, after Fanggu County was in the bag, the elder brother would go south to subdue the five counties of Jiangu, Handan, Xuchang, Huainan and Huai'an. If the ceremony is not reached, the matter is not clear, this system is a major event, subduing the five elders of the peasant family, it is not enough to rely on an envoy, I must go in person, in order to achieve the ceremony. Don't worry, brother, the swallows don't enter the door, the rats don't drill the empty warehouse, and the sericulture door is a line, I'm completely sure!"
Still unmoved, I shook my head vigorously, "What's the point of me being king if you don't have your brother!"
Jiang Xingze suddenly became angry, "Confused! If you don't ask for the help of the sericulture gate, you and I don't want to be kings, even if you live well, it's difficult, this line of work, not only for you, but also for me, understand?"
I was silent.
Jiang Xingze laughed miserably, "You and I were born at the wrong time, if we can catch up with the Qin-Han War more than forty years ago, or the Qin-Han War that may happen in a few decades, it will not be difficult to tear the earth and seal the king. Now this road forks in the road are high and low, and the ground is also rugged, and we need to wait for us to move forward bravely to achieve great things."
I was just about to fight back, Jiang Xingze suddenly grabbed the placket of my clothes and said sharply, "Jiang Feng, this is not the time for you and me to talk about brotherhood and righteousness. Do you understand?"
I knew that many people would leave me on the road to becoming king, but I didn't expect that Jiang Xingze would end up like this! Am I wrong to aspire to achieve the cause of the emperor in this life?
Just when I was stunned, the guards entered to report and said, "Report, all the officials of Taihao City and the surrounding areas of more than 1,000 stones are waiting outside the door, please state."
The shepherd's instructions!"
I ordered him to be summoned, and after the guards left, Jiang Xingze said to me, "Brother, if you believe me, don't say more for a while, just give me power, good people and bad people, I will do it for you."
"Listen to you, brother."
I slowly helped Jiang Xingze up, cautiously on the way, for fear that my hand strength would be too heavy and make him feel unwell.
When everyone entered the house, Jiang Xingze specially ordered the maid to discharge the medicine mist so that everyone could see the environment in the house.
I sat on the corner of the bed, looked at the more than 30 civil and military officials in front of me, and said in a cold voice, "Today's temporary deliberation is based on Jiang Junshou's order, and his words are my words."
Everyone at the bottom of the stairs knew about the relationship between me and Jiang Xingze, and although they looked at each other, they still unanimously replied 'No.'
Jiang Xingze went straight to the point, "Everyone, my Jiang family and Zhao Thief have been facing off for more than two years, the people are panicked, the people are tired, the military strength is gradually lacking, and the food and grass are not continuous. As the saying goes, 'the Tao is still flexible, the reach is endless, the world is in turmoil to save it, and Shitai is to help it.' We are planning chaos in the prosperous era, and we are already going against the sky, and if we continue like this, I am afraid that things will happen. Serious illness requires drastic medicine, and I have prepared a good plan for this, and I hereby declare that everyone here hopes to strictly implement it, and do not procrastinate!"
I looked around at everyone again, all of you here are civil and military generals who have been born and died with my father and me for many years, everyone has the same interests, the same aspirations, and loyalty, to put it bluntly, they are all a group of people who are willing to follow the big things and be anti-thieves, so Jiang Xingze's words did not arouse everyone's discomfort.
The crowd was silent, waiting for Jiang Xingze's clever plan.
