Chapter Seventy-Eight: Confidant
It's rare to have a confidant in life. Zhong Zijun is General Xie's best confidant. When he received the news that the entire Zhong family had been wiped out, General Xie stood on the spot. The people around him were worried about the persuasion, but General Xie suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood! Everyone around me was scared silly! Although General Xie wiped the corners of his mouth, he said that he was fine, and he did look healthy. But the people around him were puzzled, and they didn't see how good the relationship between General Xie and the gentleman of the Zhong family was on weekdays, after all, General Xie had been at the border for 20 years, and he and Zhong Zijun had only met a few times when he returned to Beijing to report on his work, how deep could he be? But looking at General Xie's performance today, this is not like a bad relationship at all. It's clearly too good.
Only Xie Yongzhao himself knows in his heart that although they are quite different in age, in this world, General Xie feels that the person who knows him best is Zijun. Now, the Zhong family has been raided and exterminated, and Your Majesty can't even find a reasonable reason!
It is wrong to kill them without sin! Not even the ladies and children were left, this is too ruthless! It's stupid to kill loyal ministers for unfounded reasons!
In the past, General Xie always felt that although His Majesty did not have the appearance of a master, he could at least keep it. But now it seems, where is Shoucheng? This is clearly guarding the country to death!
The Great Li Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years. There has never been a monarch who killed his loyal ministers in vain! Even the most stupid monarch knows that even if he can't get used to the Zhong family, even if he really wants to raid the family and exterminate the clan, he will find a reasonable excuse. Will the Zhong family rebel? The eldest princess Shurou is Zijun's grandmother! The entire Zhong family has the blood of the royal family. And the eldest princess Shurou is the sister of His Majesty today! There is such a blood bond between them. Why do you want to find such a hypocritical reason to deal with the Zhong family?
If you are not a king, how can you ask your ministers to be ministers?!
Poor Zijun, obviously has peerless talent, but he is too pure. thinks that in this world, black is black and white is white, and the monarch is the monarch. As everyone knows, there are too many unreasonable jealousy and hatred in this world, and these too complex negative emotions will be well hidden on weekdays, just waiting for an appropriate time to release them.
General Xie has been unruly since he was a child, and it was because of this that his father did not want General Xie to join the army. How can a general who has no monarch in his heart teach a loyal and patriotic soldier? Of course, later General Xie's actions overturned his father's opinion. It's just that when he learned that Zijun's whole family was destroyed, General Xie couldn't help but sigh.
"Da Li Dynasty...... This Great Li Dynasty. β
What a fucking shit!
Whether the emperor is excellent or not is originally of no difference to General Xie. But now it seems that an emperor who is too stupid can indeed drag a dynasty into decline. Originally, I thought that even if there is no outstanding talent today, at least there is a prince, but the prince is in his thirties, but he has not made much achievements, although the whole court is praising his benevolence and filial piety, but General Xie is like a mirror in his heart, that one is just messing around.
After thinking about it, General Xie couldn't figure out where the future of this country was. Waving off his worried subordinates, General Xie galloped on his horse, not knowing where he was going for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had come to Lin'an City.
Lin'an City......
General Xie suddenly remembered that bright little girl. That's really a very smart little doll, Zijun once wrote to say that his pair of dragon and phoenix siblings were extremely innocent and cute, especially that sister, who has already shown extraordinary talent at a young age. At that time, Zijun was still worried, the oppression of women in this world is so deep, and his little sister is so smart, she will definitely see through the essence in the future. Worried that his sister would change her temperament because of this.
In that letter, Zijun also clearly said that he would gradually advance in the future and slowly improve the status of women. Although this is difficult, it may not be possible to do it in a year or two, but what about five years and ten years? What about twenty years? Twenty years later, his sister was only twenty-four years old, and she was in the prime of her youth. Presumably, at that time, his sister will definitely live a wanton and chic life.
At that time, General Xie was still thinking that Zijun's idea was too naΓ―ve. Men are in power in this world. And they are both men, so they naturally know that in the eyes of most men, even if they will give their power to a man they don't know at all, they will not give them to a woman. It will take more than 20 years to accomplish this?
It's just a fantasy......
This is not? If it doesn't work, the people are gone. Alas......
"General, we're coming."
The words of the soldiers around him interrupted General Xie's endless memories. He raised his eyes slightly to look at the snow-covered mountain village in front of him. Slowly exhaled a breath of white air, then gently kicked the horse under his crotch with his heel, and slowly walked towards the position at the end of the village.
Somehow, at this time, he desperately wanted to meet that smart little girl from Yuxue. It's like through that little girl, you can see Zijun's beloved sister, and you can see your friend who has returned to the earth.
Ning Ning saw General Xie galloping from afar, and immediately stretched out his hand and cheered loudly.
"Uncle Xie, I'm here!"
Uncle Xie looks really good on horseback, but he doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Thinking of the news she got before, Ning Ning couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. Ning Ning is now playing the best with Sister Dabao, Sister Erbao, and Sister Xiaobei. I can't imagine how painful it would be if the three sisters could never talk to her again, meet her, play with her, and pick up beautiful stones together!
So when General Xie jumped directly from the horse that was still running, and then lifted Ning Ning above his head, Ning Ning couldn't help but reach out and gently patted him on the shoulder.
"Uncle Xie, don't be too sad. I don't think your friend wants to see you in such pain. β
General Xie paused, then smiled heartily. The tears of laughter are about to come out.
"Hahahaha-"
"You little baby, you don't understand fart, you can say such comforting words. Is it really genius? β
No one around spoke, and General Xie naturally took her in his arms and strode into the courtyard of the You family.
"Alright, I'm here today to ask you something. I also ate the vegetables you sent before, and they are indeed very tender and fresh, but didn't you say that you were going to grow more food? Where is the grain grown? If I don't have a way by now, I'm going to punish you. β
Ning Ning looked at General Xie's red eyes close at hand, and was very understanding and did not expose his current pain, but followed his words and pointed to the clay pot placed on the table in the courtyard.
"It's too cold now for food to grow. But I've got something new, so I'll eat here and I'll go. β
