"Is this the secret that the Prime Minister wants to tell me?" Xu Yiyang walked slowly to Ji Hong and asked, "Commander Ji will not lie to me, right?" "My father has been dead for a long time, and the only thing I remember is In the scene, he held me and sat on his neck, running in circles in the snow. I laughed very happily, and he smiled very happily. "Xu Yiyang's eyes were blurred, as if he was recalling what happened a long time ago: "This scene often happens. It appeared in my dream, but in the past few years, I can no longer see my father¡¯s face clearly.¡± Ji Hong¡¯s voice was hoarse: ¡°In life, it is inevitable that you will do some things that you cannot help but do.¡± Xu Yiyang turned to Zong Mao and asked, ¡°Zong Xiang is really there. "Are you sure?" "Of course," Zong Mao said with a sore throat and a red mark on his neck, "The governors of several wealthy provinces in the world are my people, and every workshop will support them." "I have money, guns, government soldiers, and the governor's regular soldiers. Great things can be accomplished." "Then what?" Zong Mao said: "With the help of the second prince, the racecourse in Hetao will support us, and the Tumote outside the Great Wall will support us." The Han people will also support us. Che Renxiong, the governor of the Northern Army, has a long history with the second prince. When the deal is done, he will also stand on the side of the court. " Ji Hong touched the dagger on his waist with his left hand, and saw the man who had been with him for decades. Zongmao, suddenly so strange. Seeing his actions, Xu Yiyang turned his face with sharp eyes and warned: "Commander Ji, don't move or engage in futile resistance." Ji Hong smiled sadly: "General Xu, once you draw your sword, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you will not know whether you will succeed or not. How many people would have died in the war? The navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty would have reached as far as the South China Sea, and the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Western Region Protectorate, Mobei Protectorate and Liaodong Protectorate would have to withdraw. Fifteen years of hard work would have been in vain. " "No. ," Zong Mao took a few steps back. Ji Hong's surprise attack just now left him with lingering fear, "When the second prince ascends the throne, who in the world dares to disobey him? When the time comes, I will be the prime minister, and Governor Xu will be the general, and the great Zhou will know how to do it. Getting stronger and stronger." He raised his hands to the sky and said: "Your Majesty is indeed a hero, but your Majesty is not ruthless enough. Without Kunlun slaves and worker slaves, how can the Great Zhou Dynasty maintain its nearly one million soldiers? Like the Asahi, the country is strong and the world is surrendered. Isn't it because of me, Zongmao?" His emotions exploded to the extreme, and he wanted to express all the words in his heart. "Ji Hong, you are just His Majesty's domestic slave. Although you are loyal, you can only be loyal. Kindness is only the expectation of the coward. Have you ever seen the wolves on the grassland being kind to the yellow sheep? When I was eight years old, I hid in the grass. Watching wolves hunting sheep, their claws are like scratching on my body. Without bloody mutton, how can there be a strong wolf pack? If Chongzhen had ruthlessly slaughtered the bandits in Shaanxi, he would not have lost his country. Smiling slightly: "General Xu joins hands with me to keep true to the true nature of a warrior. Didn't there be four words mentioned by His Majesty himself in the martial arts lecture hall - to open up borders and expand the territory. Your Majesty wants Zhang Ying to be the prime minister, that person is just a Morality is rotten." Ji Hong ignored him and walked to the opposite side of Xu Yiyang, cupping his hands and saying: "General, you are concerned about the lives and deaths of millions of people, please think twice before you act." The moonlight is bright, and in three days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, the day when everyone in the world reunites. Xu Yiyang held down his sword with his right hand and said leisurely: "In my life, I have learned many hobbies from my adoptive father. I only love women and fine wine. Among the courtiers, no one has taken sixteen concubines like me. For this reason, Your Majesty also You laughed at me. But I never force others, nor do I use my power to pressure others, although I know that some people marry into the general's house because they value my power." Zong Mao laughed and said, "After the big thing is done, General Xu will accept him again. There are hundreds of concubines, and no one dares to gossip. "Xu Yiyang said: "You don't know, it's a headache to have too many women. You can't give them away after you marry them. In recent years, you are getting old and frail and you can't take care of them." He didn't understand why Xu Yiyang was talking nonsense. His patience was about to run out and he urged: "General Xu, why do you have any hesitation?" Xu Yiyang said: "For such a big matter, I can't tolerate not asking carefully." Staring at Zong Mao, he suddenly asked: "Does the second prince know?" Zong Mao smiled sinisterly and said: "What is the difference between him knowing and not knowing? Who else would give up the throne?" Xu Yiyang thought for a while, nodded and sighed: " Yes, what will happen if he doesn't obey? Who in the world can truly control their own destiny, just like Zong Xiang, if His Majesty doesn't let you resign, you won't take the risk. "Zong Mao has a sinister look on his face. Qing uncertain, no answer. "If Your Majesty does not withdraw his position, he will only be His Majesty's slave." In the final analysis, power is the poison that makes people unable to extricate themselves. "Okay" Xu Yiyang strode out, "Zong Xiang is waiting for my news." "Slowly" Zong Mao stopped him. "The general has his own soldiers waiting in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He only needs to order people to go to the army to convey the order. There is no need to go there himself." Xu Yiyang stopped and asked, "Don't you believe me, Prime Minister?" "It's urgent.""I have to be on guard." Zong Mao looked ferocious, "I have made arrangements at the north gate of the capital. You will order your soldiers to leave the city overnight and let the regular soldiers stationed in Tongzhou enter the city. After daybreak, the matter will be decided." "Xu Yiyang laughed loudly and said: "The Prime Minister is really good at it. "As long as he adjusts his troops and enters the city, he will rebel if he doesn't. "Okay, just as Zong Xiang said. " He raised his feet to walk out. Ji Hong was shocked and chased after him and shouted: "General Xu, think twice. Zong Mao clapped his hands, and a dozen men in black emerged from the shadows to surround him. He said coldly: "Ji Hong, although you hurt me, I still treat you as a brother. Don't force me." Xu Yiyang turned around and frowned slightly, saying: "Don't hurt Commander Ji. I still have something to ask him." Zong Mao only said that he wanted to ask about the details of his father's frame-up, and said: "I will not hurt him. When the matter is completed, Ji Hong will be handed over to General Xu." "Xu Yiyang asked again: "Don't you want the Prime Minister to go with me? " He was really verbose tonight. Zong Mao thought for a moment and said, "If you want it, I will go with the general. "The two walked out of the dark yard, followed by four men in black. Suddenly, there was a noise from the direction of the gate, and the woman's scream was particularly prominent in the middle of the night. Xu Yiyang stopped and asked: "Is anyone drunk and making trouble? ? " Zong Mao scolded: "Who dares to make trouble?" Xu Yiyang looked up at the moon in the sky, reached out and patted Zong Mao on the shoulder, and said: "Mr. Zong, do you want to go and have a look? The guests will become suspicious after not seeing the host for a long time. " The noise became louder and louder, mixed with the sound of running. Zong Mao turned from anger to shock and shouted: "What's going on? " "Someone is coming." Xu Yiyang pulled Zong Mao's arm. Zong Mao felt that Xu Yiyang's pull was too tight, and threw his arm to get away, and asked, "Who is coming?" " But Xu Yiyang's arms were like iron pliers, pulling him out and saying, "You'll know when you get out. " "General Xu, you" "The imperial decree has arrived" The long tone of the small yellow gate in the distance came. "The imperial decree has arrived." Zong Mao's legs softened and he almost sat on the ground. "Zong Xiang, don't be afraid, maybe Your Majesty is just sending you off. " The personal guards holding torches took control of the Prime Minister's Mansion in just a quarter of an hour. They were not many in number, and they were all carefully selected from the children of military merit. When Your Majesty went to the grassland, they accompanied His Majesty in hunting. His Majesty Back in the capital, they were stationed outside the imperial city. The general leading the army was Bao Guang's second son, Zong Mao, who stood up straight and whispered in his ear: "Don't act rashly, there is no chance. " "You, you betrayed me? Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "I just hope that the Prime Minister will not betray me." "The alcohol in the drunken man's body turned into sweat and came out of his pores, and the torch of the personal guard finally illuminated Zongmao's face. "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: Prime Minister Zongmao is extravagant and pampers his subordinates. , was greedy for bribes, so he was dismissed from his official position and handed over to Dali Temple for investigation and approval. Bao Shizhong walked up to Zong Mao and said, "Prime Minister, I'm offended." Xu Yiyang let go of Zong Mao's arm. Bao Shizhong clasped his fists at Xu Yiyang, performed a military salute, and said loudly: "If you are not from the Prime Minister's Mansion, please leave immediately. The personal guards will let you go, and the rest are waiting in the mansion." Xu Yiyang defeated the Jungar Mongols in the Western Regions and rebuilt it at the foot of Tianshan Mountain He was promoted to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army in Lunting Prefecture City. He has a high prestige in the army and should be second only to Feng Qin. "Zong Xiang, let's go." Two lightly armored soldiers came up to hold Zong Mao captive. Xu Yiyang said: "Commander Ji is still inside." Bao Shizhong clasped his fists and said: "The general knows." Zong Mao glared at Xu Yiyang fiercely, his eyes gleaming, Xu Yiyang betrayed him. However, His Majesty did not mention it in the imperial edict. And rebel against yourself. The two soldiers each grabbed Zongmao's arm and led him out. He felt bitter in his heart. This was His Majesty's method. He would never cut off all hopes of others. All the courtiers left in a panic. Xu Yiyang waited at the gate until Ji Hong came out. Ji Hong looked complicated and said in a low voice: "Captain Xu, your Majesty has entrusted you with this important task in vain." Come to think of it, Xu Yiyang warned him just now because he was afraid that Zong Mao would hurt him. "I can't do it," Xu Yiyang laughed. "Without the order from the Privy Council and the approval from the Commander-in-Chief, I, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army, can't mobilize regular soldiers." The truth of his words is unknown. , but he smiled very easily. The two people walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion side by side. The torches were brightly lit outside, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was surrounded. Not even a bird could escape the eyes of the guards and fly out. Ji Hong said: "Your father's death,Your Majesty cannot be entirely blamed. " He felt that it was necessary to make this matter clear. As the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, Xu Yiyang was responsible for the safety of the capital. Any grudge in his heart could lead to catastrophe. Xu Yiyang pointed to the direction of the Forbidden City and said: "This is the court. We've all been here a long time. "What do personal grievances mean in the court?" The two of them walked to the martial law circle of the guards, and Mr. Qian raised his hand to let them go. "When I was in Jiangnan, Uncle Chen told me about the past breakup with several friends from society. , and also feel deeply guilty for the death of my father. At that time, my father accepted the recruitment after listening to his advice. "Xu Yiyang said: "But, those were troubled times." Except for madmen, no one wants to go back to that era.
