Chapter 14: If You Don't Save Me, Save Me

"Your Highness Six, I'm here to kill you today."

Wang Shishi's words made Zhong Yangming even more confused, how to use a stick for assassination, and even threw a stick.

Although Zhong Yangming didn't believe Wang Shishi's words very much, Zhong Yangming still pulled Qing Xuan back two steps, and then asked: "I can't understand what you said, if you came to kill me, why did you run away again?" ”

Seeing that the matter had come to this, Wang Shishi did not hide it anymore, and said frankly: "Because I just heard His Highness's words, I can't do it." ”

This sentence just now was enough to punish him to the Nine Clans. But Wang Shi sat motionless on the ground, looking like he was at the mercy of his disposal.

Zhong Yangming asked strangely: "What kind of grudge do you have with me, the prince sent you." ”

Wang Shishi shook his head: "It's not the crown prince, it's my master." The last time His Highness was punished, it was my master's action, but His Highness didn't die, and Master was beheaded all over the house. ”

Zhong Yangming didn't understand at first, how the person in charge of the execution was beheaded by the whole family. But it soon became clear that this was a post-autumn reckoning in a power struggle.

Regardless of whether Zhong Yangming is dead or not, the executioner caught in the middle, whether he obeys or disobeys the order, will end up dead. It's just that the whole family is beheaded, which is too cruel. Even according to the rules of the feudal dynasty, this is too vicious and exceeds the bottom line.

"But your master didn't kill me, so what's the point of killing me?" Zhong Yangming asked.

Wang Shishi didn't defend himself, but said, "Your Highness is right, I just figured it out. Originally, I thought that the nobles in the palace were all the same, and they could kill anyone. But just now I found out that the nobles in the entire palace, only Your Highness, really think about the people...... Forget it, Your Highness, kill me. ”

Wang Shishi couldn't go on anymore, he was not good at words, and felt that if he continued to talk, it would become a quibble. His Royal Highness the Sixth is a real sage, and he was so confused that he wanted to assassinate him, Wang Shi felt that he was inferior to a pig and a dog, and he should apologize with death.

Zhong Yangming finally understood, this kid heard his conversation with Qing Xuan, and suddenly figured it out, so he gave up assassination.

Qing Xuan looked at Wang Shi and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you want to kill him?" ”

Qingxuan, this little girl, doesn't care so much about the truth, she only knows that the person in front of her harbors evil intentions, so she should be executed directly.

Zhong Yangming said: "Why kill it, let there be one less loyal person in the world, and one less person who dares to resist?" ”

When Wang Shi heard this, he raised his head in shock and asked, "Your Highness, are you ...... You don't kill me? I really wanted to kill you. ”

Zhong Yangming shook his head and said: "There is no reason in this world to convict you because you want to kill someone, when I was in the palace, I didn't want to kill someone one day." Besides, I also think that my father's will is really wrong......"

Zhong Yangming didn't finish speaking, and a voice from a distance interrupted Zhong Yangming's words.

"Sixth Highness, as a son of man, how can you say that your parents are not?"

Zhong Yangming turned his head and saw Wang Mo standing in the distance. The old eunuch's forehead was covered with sweat, and it seemed that he had been running all the way, and he was tired enough. In addition to him, there is also Miaoyun, who is also flushed at this time, a little more gorgeous than the usual coldness.

Wang Mo guessed that someone was going to be unfavorable to Zhong Yangming, and he was about to go up the mountain, so he asked Miaoyun to help guide the way, and the two of them ran up the mountain with light skills. But no matter how good the light work is, these more than 5,000 stairs are enough for them.

Who would have thought that Zhong Yangming was not only not at home, but even Qingxuan was carried out and ran to this remote place. It took Wang Mo and Miaoyun a lot of time to find it, but they didn't expect to hear Zhong Yangming disrespecting the emperor as soon as they arrived.

However, seeing Zhong Yangming unscathed, Wang Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, this Sixth Highness still has the ability to make Wang Shishi arrested, and it seems that he is not as "unfamiliar with martial arts" as rumored.

Wang Mo calmed down, walked in front of Zhong Yangming, and said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, the old slave has asked you to be safe." ”

Zhong Yangming naturally wouldn't put up a fight with someone of Wang Mo's status, and said politely: "Wang Zhangyin, this is not in the palace, so there is no need to be polite." How did you come to Xuanxuguan, how could my father leave you? ”

Wang Mo sighed, the original plan was not like this, he should have walked around Xuanxuguan first, carefully inquired about what Zhong Yangming did in Xuanxuguan, and then went up the mountain to announce the emperor's will, and Xiang Xiaozhi was moved by emotion.

If Zhong Yangming could understand the emperor's painstaking efforts, then Wang Mo would let the executioner lift it high and fall gently, and he would be injured in the skin.

If the six princes are not convinced, then let him suffer a little bit of flesh and skin, and then move him with affection and reason, and be sure to let Zhong Yangming understand the emperor's painstaking feelings.

As long as Zhong Yangming was soft, Wang Mo would go back and report to the emperor, saying that the six princes already knew that they were wrong.

Maybe the emperor was happy in his heart, and directly pardoned Zhong Yangming's punishment.

That was a happy ending, and Wang Mo could be regarded as having completed the task beautifully.

As a result, Wang Shishi made such a play for him, and Wang Mo had to go up the mountain in advance. Now it is difficult for Wang Mo to read the emperor's will to Zhong Yangming, and the executioners have become assassins, and this mission has become a joke.

After thinking about it, I had to deal with Wang Shi's matter first.

"The old slave came to visit His Highness at the behest of His Majesty, but he didn't think of any accidents. Since this thief has been caught by His Highness, he might as well hand it over to the old slave to dispose of, so as not to dirty His Highness's hands. ”

Zhong Yangming said: "I arrested this person, so I will deal with it." Wang Zhangyin, you and I have known each other for more than ten years, so don't beat around the bush. My father asked you to come to Xuanxuanguan, I'm afraid you came to me. ”

Wang Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and admitted: "Your Highness has always been so smart, the old slave can't hide it from you." Since Your Highness has already guessed it, then I will say it directly. Your Majesty asked me to visit His Royal Highness the Sixth, and by the way, I would like to ask you, do you know that it is wrong? ”

When Zhong Yangming heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Wang Zhangyin, just for this matter, you came to Xuanxuanguan, I'm afraid it will disappoint you, I have never felt that I was wrong."

"On the contrary, it is unreasonable for my father, as the king of a country, to let millions of people suffer from disasters and let them go."

Wang Mo hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty explained this matter to the old slave, there are many thieves in the south of the Yangtze River, even if they open a warehouse to release grain, they will only be snatched away by the thieves, and use our grain to recruit troops." Such an enemy behavior is worth the loss, Your Majesty is just focusing on the overall situation. ”

Zhong Yangming shook his head and said, "Wang Zhangyin, do you think that if you don't provide disaster relief, no one will rebel?" His father had long known who was secretly supporting these rebels, but he had never known about it. ”

Jiangnan rebelled for several years, and there were more and more anti-thieves. Zhong Yangming also thought at first that the people were not making a living, so rebellions emerged one after another.

It wasn't until he carefully checked the battle report that the number of kills reported on it was almost higher than the entire population of Daqian.

After careful investigation, Zhong Yangming saw four words - raising Kou self-respect.

The anti-thieves who can never be eliminated are inexhaustible military exploits for Zhou Wang, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

The generals promoted by the Ministry of War over the years are all meritorious in suppressing anti-thieves, and Zhong Yangming doesn't believe that his father can't see it clearly.

Seeing that Wang Mo still wanted to say more, Zhong Yangming waved his hand and said: "You always like to compromise, like to compromise, and you want to be vertical and horizontal, for fear that the hundred officials will intrigue and consume the national strength, and you are afraid that the hundred officials will unite too much to overthrow the emperor." always likes to say that the overall situation is important, but regards the hundreds of officials in the court as the overall situation, and the millions of people in Jiangnan are necessary sacrifices. I'm tired of these.

"Go back and tell my father, this Jiangnan, if you don't save it, I'll save it."
