Chapter 79

This day Jiang Yun got up early, and Liu Rongcen slept soundly.

Being an emperor, he has worked hard all his life, and it is rare to see her sleep peacefully. After all, he still didn't have the heart to tease her.

Rong Cenchen just woke up, and everyone went downstairs after breakfast, listening to the guests talking lively about the latest case.

"That Dr. Gou has done all sorts of evil things. I thought he was a miracle doctor before, but who knew he was a thief, and his family members are all abducted! I heard that Tangzhou Weiguan will come to Qizhou in the afternoon!"

"Then Mrs. Hou is not a good person! You can tell from letting her servant girl bully others at the gate of the city! He also said that His Majesty heard that there was a genius doctor in Qizhou who asked her to recuperate from her illness. Pooh, I just made up nonsense! In the early years I have been to the capital as a merchant, and the dignitaries under the emperor's feet are no different from our ordinary people, and they are used to pulling big banners!"

"It's clearly the relatives of the Marquis of Chengde, yet they lied to everyone that they belonged to the Marquis Changyi's family, women who don't obey women's morals! Husband and wife, both of whom are under the same bed, are not good people. I can't be sure that the idea is from the Marquis of Chengde! Madam Hou and Dr. Gou are Family relatives, maybe she was the one who taught Dr. Gou how to pat Hanako!"

Zhao Jisheng came in the afternoon, and the verdict should come out in the afternoon.

Rong Cen didn't want to meet him again, so he hurried towards Yizhou.

Counting the time, she has been away from Beijing for five or six days, and she has to speed up to go back.

Song Zeng was not in Yizhou, but they had not yet entered the city, so they only sent Xiao Lian and others to look for them.

It was still the woods outside the city, where the luxurious carriage was hidden, Jiang Yun was cooking wine and tea, Rong Cen closed his eyes and rested.

The sun is shining brightly, the horses are gnawing on the grass with their heads down, the forest seems to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing, the wind blows the leaves rustling, and the curtains of the car flutter, hitting the car boards, "tap-tat-tat", again and again.

The sound of muslin being blown by the wind suddenly sounded, and the rustling of footsteps came to my ears.

Rong Cen suddenly opened his eyes, "Song Zeng!"

"Your Majesty, I am here."

The man outside the carriage was Song Zeng.

Pulling back the curtain of the car, Rong Cen cut to the chase and asked, "What does General Song mean?"

"If your majesty wants to find someone, why don't you tell Song Zeng? Commander Xiao has the ability, but he has no strategy, and he doesn't know how to adapt. It's hard to make a big deal."

So this is a self-recommended pillow mat... Ah no, Mao Sui recommended himself?

Rong Cen stared silently.

In my memory, this General Song has a rich resume. He has guarded the east, west, north and south borders, but he has no achievements.

It is said that the emperor's grandfather ruled strictly, and if he didn't do martial arts, nothing was wrong.This led to officials secretly man-made disasters, and then they came forward to calm down, in order to gain merit.

But the first emperor learned his lesson, not asking everyone to contribute, but asking everyone to be innocent.He once mentioned Song Zeng to Rong Cen, saying that this man is a loyal and straightforward minister, but he is too rigid and easy to break, and he needs to be taught to be soft and always survive.

After Rong Cen ascended the throne, he wore it before he had time to arrange for the old ministers to recruit new ministers. When he came back, he was busy saving his life and protecting Dayin. The reform had not yet started, and he only glanced at the composition of the officials.

I just remember that Song Zeng beat and kicked General Li when he was recruiting troops in Kyoto a few days ago. In the end, General Li and his son put the blame on General Chen Xiao.

But isn't he a member of the imperial concubine?Now, she came to her with a grievance that her talents were not met, her ambitions were not rewarded, she was very similar to a weak woman who was cruelly abandoned by a heartless man.

But he, a weak woman, has made a private decision with others for life first.

"Your Majesty, did you say something wrong? You speak straight. If Your Majesty doesn't like it... then you still have to listen carefully!"

"..." Don't listen or listen, Wang Ba recited the scriptures.

Rong Cen packed the Wuyu quick-frozen package and changed hands, and smiled at Jiang Yunjun: "It's rare to come out, why don't you stop by Anzhou to taste seafood. For lunch, we will eat black-bone chicken and stewed mackerel."

"...As long as His Majesty is happy."

After struggling for a long time without seeing Song Zeng's flaws, the imperial concubine's servants begged her for status, ah no, for errands.

At any rate, you're on King Xi's team, won't they arrange for you an easy job with a lot of money and little trouble that can reflect the value of life?She's petty and picky, isn't it obvious that she came to place chess pieces by her side?
"What benefits did the imperial concubine promise you?"

Could it be that Song Zeng was bought by a small profit?It's too easy, tell her and let her learn how to squeeze her subordinates (bushi) at a low cost, she can give double!
According to Song Zeng, His Majesty did not believe that he was testing him.It's normal for someone with great achievements to be suspicious, but he has nothing on his bare feet, so how could he be suspected of having two hearts?
The imperial concubine did send someone to look for him, but he didn't agree!The ancestors of the Song family have been loyal to His Majesty for generations, and he will recognize whoever has the ability to sit on the dragon chair.Wanting to win him over to help King Xi seize the heir apparent, wanting to eat the farts of the old sow in the pigsty!

Could it be that he was too smart on the Lantern Festival to understand His Majesty's hints in seconds, which aroused His Majesty's precautions?Or was it because he couldn't trust Xiao Lian's uneducated and brainless bastard, so he secretly left Yizhou to protect His Majesty personally and escort His Majesty, which made His Majesty unhappy?
Song Zeng knew current affairs very well, and the upright man knelt down: "I swear to be loyal to His Majesty to the death! I have no second thoughts!"

The land was gnawed bare by horses, revealing the most unpretentious yellow land.

"Yesterday I was stopped outside Yizhou City, and today is the same. General Song is so loyal to me?" Rong Cen couldn't hear the tone of his words.

It was because of this!
"The housekeeper of Lu Taishi's mansion went to the minister before and said that Zongzi Meng had already made arrangements. His Majesty will go south this time and never return. King Xi's rebellion is safe. Let me follow them to get promoted and get rich."

Song Zeng couldn't stop, he held the grass in his hand and gently lifted it, uprooted it, and fed it to the horse with soil, very considerate.

Meng Zongzi, Meng Yang.Very well, it's him again.

Rong Cen's eyes are complicated, but what does this have to do with you sealing off the city to prevent people from entering or leaving?
As soon as the doubts arose, I heard him say: "The reason why I closed the city is because I saw the male favorite next to the queen mother in Yizhou. To say that the male favorite is actually equivalent to a counselor is not a minister. The queen mother is not in the harem." Ordinary woman. Earlier, she commanded Ye Jun to occupy Yizhou and wanted to swallow the five states in the southern border. Although the crisis was resolved by Commander Xiao, the minister suspected that the Queen Mother still had a back hand, so she closed the city to catch a turtle."

That lame eunuch.

Rong Cen: "Have you caught it?"

"Not yet." Song Zeng smiled embarrassedly, the horse shook his head, spit on him with grass and soil mixed with saliva, Song Zeng wiped his face with humiliation, "tens of thousands of people are guarding, I don't believe it. Don't kill him!"

Rong Cen took the cup from Jiang Yun, drank hot tea, and said in a casual tone, "What if he instigates the surrendered Ye Jun?"

"He has no chance to contact Ye Jun..."

"Can General Song guarantee that Ye Jun will not take the initiative to find him?"

"This..." Song Zeng couldn't answer.

It is hard to guarantee that there will be no omissions.

Through the window sill and over the dense branches, the heavily guarded Yizhou City Tower can be vaguely seen among the shadows of the mottled trees.

Rong Cen glanced at the endgame of the chess game with Jiang Yun to pass the time while on the road. Heizi was pressing every step of the way, and the besieged Baizi had nowhere to go.

With a slight movement of her fingertips, she unknowingly picked up a white piece and placed it in a dangerous place. She seemed to be looking for a dead end, but she reversed the situation of the chess game, and the white piece was revived.

Put it to death, and then live.

When there is no way out, anything can be a way out.

"Send one of Ye's pawns to take the initiative to find him."

Let's give it a try and see what the opponent can do.Also look at Song Zeng's strength and whether he is worth training.

After giving the order, Rong Cen ignored Song Zeng who looked astonished, she broke up the chess game by herself, and looked sideways at Jiang Yun: "Do it again, two wins in three games?"

Jiang Yun raised his eyebrows in response: "My skills are not as good as others, so your Majesty must be courteous."

Rong Cen was too lazy to listen to the boss pretending to be a rookie and pretending to be modest, so he didn't break up with him.

This time she chose Heizi to go first, instead of the previous defensive style of planning to lay out the overall situation, from the perspective of the queen mother, thinking about the opponent's increasingly unscrupulous psychology after jumping over the wall, she directly attacked strongly and killed all directions.

The two were immersed in the chess game, and Jiang Yun's worrying reminders sounded from time to time in the carriage.

"You are too aggressive. People who have not yet reached a desperate situation will not be so desperate and only attack but not defend."

"No regrets, you have to think clearly."

"One wrong step, one wrong step, one willful way, and you will eventually be wiped out."

When Xiao Lian came back with Lao Ba, the two had finished three chess games, zero to three, and Rong Cen was completely defeated.

"Concession." Jiang Yun handed over another cup of tea.

Rong Cen is in a good mood, the Queen Mother will definitely lose in this deduction.

"master!!!"

From a long distance away, I heard the excited cry of the old eight ghosts crying and howling like wolves.

When he got outside the carriage, he changed his words: "Your Majesty, I finally saw you again!"

Lao Ba jumped into the carriage directly, full of emotion.

Hearing this, Xiao Lian, who was still outside, kicked him so that he fell onto the small desk like a dog.

"It's been a long time since you saw the eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother, the fourth brother and the fifth brother, why don't you express your love to us!"

The five elder brothers gave Lao Ba a good condolence, and after the brothers' emotional exchange, they raised their hands and threw him out to drive the car.

"Hey, third brother, I haven't reported the situation in Yizhou to His Majesty yet!"

The third child: "Report me, I personally rescued you from the death row. Even mice don't want to be with you, so what do you know?"

Rong Cen almost spit out his tea.

How did he do it so badly?
Rong Cen coughed twice, "Why are you on death row?"

"It wasn't Nanxun's envoy Mr. Qi, his subordinates were also capable of fighting. He removed his two legs, and before he left, he removed two arms. He made his subordinates waste a lot of money and spent a whole two taels of silver. What! After bandaging, he spent half a tael of silver to hire someone to carry him to the outskirts of the city to find His Majesty, but he didn't find His Majesty, and was sued by an unscrupulous doctor and porter with fake money! Yizhou Wei ran away early, and only A military commander, General Song, was stationed there, he was busy catching turtles, and he didn't have time to deal with troublemakers, so he simply threw his subordinates into death row."

How miserable.

Ah, he didn't say that Rong Cen would really forget that Yizhou is still in a free-range state without guards!
Help SOS, this broken memory is a big deal, or should she abdicate and let Xian get it?
No, she has already sent a letter to Jingdu to ask the emperor to find a useful transfer, and she should be on the way now.

It's so slow, if I knew it earlier, it would be better to promote someone nearby to take over the stall.

Rong Cen pressed his temple, "Where's that little lamb lantern from Shangyuanye?"

Lao Ba waved his horsewhip: "Before, I was in the City Lord's Mansion. After His Majesty went to Tangzhou, he was taken to Chuzhou by Emperor Ying and the others. Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask?"

"..."

She can't go to Chuzhou again, can she?

Rong Cen pondered for a moment, and said, "Have you had a good rest these few days? Everyone will take turns driving and rush back to Kyoto as quickly as possible."

After giving the order, she remembered that there was a foreigner on the carriage, so she asked again: "You don't need to go back to Nanxun?"

The carriage was galloping at high speed, there was a pause, Rong Cen suggested seriously: "Why don't you jump out of the carriage?"

"..."

Jiang Yun took out a dagger from his waist and handed it to her, his tone was more serious than her: "Why don't you stab me again?"

After all, die.

"Again", Rong Cen grasped the key word precisely, tsk, this person holds a grudge.

She just acted unintentionally that night...

On second thought, if the knife hadn't been stabbed in her body, she naturally didn't feel the pain.

The dagger belonged to Rong Cen, and now it was returned to its original owner, she took it away neatly, rubbing it in her hand, with mixed feelings, and solemnly apologized to him: "I have offended you before, I hope you will forgive me."

"Apologizing so suddenly, Your Majesty won't really want to stab me again, will he?" Jiang Yun tilted his head to look at her, with a misty smile.

Rong Cen rolled his eyes as if no one was around.

A bright smile exploded in the carriage, "Your Majesty, you don't need to be polite to me."

The smile gradually dissipated, and Jiang Yun began to talk about business.

"General Song detains Yuan Yu, and the regent checks and balances the Queen Mother. After His Majesty returns to Beijing, he can clean up the house. Congratulations in advance and one less powerful enemy."

Yuan Shu is the Empress Dowager's old lover, what an upright gentleman's name, unexpectedly the Empress Dowager changed it to Jin Chan, one mouthful of an old toad, I don't know what kind of vulgar taste of a middle-aged person.

Jiang Yun said it easily, but Rong Cen was under great pressure, "King An is not easy to deal with."

Don't look at Wang An, who is very smart, like a poisonous snake dormant in the dark, spitting out a red letter, lingering on the prey, waiting for the best time to strike the fatal blow.If it is accidentally bitten, even the elephant will fall down.

The reason why she dared to discuss this with Jiang Yun was because of what she said in the alley last night.

He will not betray the country, but he is loyal to her, wishing to witness her rule the world.

Rong Cen immediately remembered his jade pendant earlier, it looked familiar because the late emperor had shown it to her.

When the first emperor was dying, all Dayin's secrets entered her mind.

"My son leaned forward... the world must be divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time. This continent was originally a unified country, but during the reign of Dayin, social conflicts intensified, disciplines were disordered, rituals and music were broken, from the emperor's relatives to the bottom. The common people, wanton murders and rebels abound for evil, what's more, colluding with foreign tribes, collaborating with the enemy and treason, causing Dayin to be deeply troubled by internal and external troubles, and the melee is constantly raging."

"It wasn't until the help of the immortals in the Puhui period that the turmoil that lasted for decades was quelled, but Dayin was torn apart! The sages and ancestors recuperated and rebuilt their homes. At the same time, they are eagerly looking forward to the future generations who have the ambition to regain their homeland and rule the country! So far It has been more than a hundred years and the long-cherished wish has not been fulfilled... Although all the countries are living in peace, all the tribes are still secretly coveting, and Yu Dayin is not lucky."

"This jade was handed down from the ancestors, and the other two fragments are in the hands of people with lofty ideals in Nanxun and Xilin. If the jade pendant is there, Dayin will last forever. If there is a chance to meet in the future, we can discuss the great cause of unification with him. Listen, my son, 'Brothers fight against the wall, and the outsiders resist their insults'. Dayin's real enemy is the foreign barbarians, not Nanxun Xilin."
