Chapter 147 But for your sake
"Zhuo Ruitong," Huanxuan put the tea stack on the table and said, "I knew that your fox's tail would not be hidden for long, and it would be exposed. You see, I will start to sneer at me immediately. Fortunately, I have known what kind of person you are, so I won't be fooled by you and be deceived by you.
"Ha ha, what did I lie to you and let you be fooled? I tried my best to stay with you for a few more days. Really, why is the reaction so fierce? What's more, did you ask the little porcelain girl to bring words to me?
"Ah, Xiaoci," Huanxuan's face suddenly turned red. I, I'm joking with you, just like when I was a child," Huanxuan explained bravely.
"Just kidding, from Youliangguan to Weijun, it's not far away. What you deliberately let Xiaoci take is a joke. Ha ha, Zhuo Ruitong's eyes are a little silverless here.
"Can't you?" Huanxuan turned his face to one side. When you were a child, you often didn't keep your word. You forgot it when you said it. I learned from you.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault," Zhuo Ruitong said softly. It's just that I really can't keep my word. It's not that I don't want to keep my word, but that God hasn't given me this opportunity. Now, it's different now. It doesn't matter what the rules and what the situation is forced. I promise you that I will abide by the agreement with you.
Huanxuan turned his face and looked at Zhuo Ruitong, "Ruitong, I suddenly feel that I shouldn't ask that sentence, because you are a born monarch. According to your intelligence and mind, you will definitely be able to deal with the government and let the people of the world worry about food and clothing. How can you give up everything and live a free life with me?"
"But it's Yu'er," Zhuo Ruitong said, "I'm not the only one who wants to go to the throne, not to mention the other little ones, but it's Zhuo Yuanle, the king of Wu, who also wants to sit on the throne more than I do. I have thought about it. If he can promise me to take good care of the dilapidated country and soothe people's livelihood, then it doesn't matter if I let him sit on the throne.
"It doesn't matter," Huanying frowned. "Ruitong, don't say such a thing. You know very well that since his mother's concubine starved to death in the cold palace, the king of Wu has become very lonely and obedient. Not only does he never play with your brothers, but he also acts alone. I don't know you know about him. How much Ruitong, anyway, every time I meet him, his eyes are cold. At that time, we were still young. At first, I thought that I had offended him. Later, I found that he looked at many people with cold eyes without a trace of expression, so I didn't pay attention to it. But later, after he rose up, I realized that he must have hated the palace very much. How can you count on such a person? He will love the people and be considerate of the world.
Zhuo Ruitong meditated for a long time before saying, "So what about you? Don't you also hate the palace? To be honest, not to mention you, I don't even have a good impression on the palace. Yuanle's mother was framed for poisoning, and she starved to death in the cold palace. Your father's eldest grandson Tai Shiling was falsely accused of colluding with the King of Wu. The Tai Shiling Mansion was beheaded by the Manmen Dynasty. Even you were given a glass of poisoned wine by the Empress Dowager Li. Who doesn't hate all kinds of things? But now that the Empress Dowager Li is dead, Li Jin has also come to a sad end. The deceased is the president of the great forefather. No matter how unwilling he is, it has not been written off. Moreover, Yuan Le seems to have managed well during the period of the State of Wu. How can he be more than managing the government?
"Rui Tong" said helplessly, "Yes, I also hate the palace, but I'm different from Zhuo Yuanle. I can't explain why, but I just think that if Zhuo Yuanle sits on the throne, the people will suffer even more that day. Listen to my advice to Ruitong, don't Give in easily. For the sake of so many soldiers and people who support you in Weijun, you can't let them down. As for what I asked you, in fact, it's true. Just take it as a joke. I'm satisfied to hear the answer and hear your promise. As for the future, let's talk about it in the future. Time will always change something, and it will always bring back what really belongs to you, right?
Zhuo Ruitong slowly nod his head, "Well, no one can tell what will happen in the future. As long as you understand my heart for you, don't escape and don't refuse Huanying."
A happy smile flashed through her eyes, "Didn't you notice that I didn't escape and refuse? I was led back to the goblet palace by you from the gate of the palace. Do you think I really can't break away from you?"
"Ha" Zhuo Ruitong sat up straight, stretched out his arm and scraped the tip of his lingling nose. Your tone is only four words to describe the most appropriate, Tianwang Marshal.
"Are you crazy," Huanying screamed and gently kicked Zhuo Ruitong under the table.
"Oh, do I like it?" Zhuo Ruitong hummed and said, " By the way, how can I settle them with the Yushan and Fu An'an you brought back?"
Indeed, there are no Lushan and Fu An'an in today's award. Although they also came to Wei County with Huanying, all the rewards today are generals with military achievements. Therefore, Yishan and Fu An'an have long been arranged by Mei Zheng to send people to the post hall to rest.
Huanying thought for a moment before saying, "I can't say whether Chao Lushan is going to say. It turns out that if Chaoluba wants to be involved in the customs, let Chaoshan will let Chaoluba follow Chaoluba, but Chaoluba has made it clear that he wants to return to Beirong. As for whether Yaoshan is willing to go back or not, I don't know. I have to decide after asking him. If he If you want to stay, you can let him go with Lu Zisang. As for Fu An'an, it's easier to do. I originally blocked her as a junior general, but An'an didn't want to join the army. She left with us just to come to the customs to have a look. She also said that let me ask for two concessions from the king of Wei on her behalf to enter the customs, so that she can also bring her father close to the customs.
"It's simple. The entry order is right? I can issue it to her tomorrow. In addition, I'm giving her some money. I've made a round-trip fee, and the subsidies with their father and daughter are involved in the customs. With this money, she can take her father to settle down anywhere in the customs. Zhuo Ruitong said, "However, Li Shan, I don't agree with him to let Lu Zisong. I think it is more appropriate to leave Dai Shan at Youliang Pass and follow General Pingshao. He is from Beirong and is familiar with the living habits of the Beirong people, as well as the combat mode and movement characteristics of the Beirong cavalry. Shao Jianping can take advantage of this. Shan has learned a lot of the strengths of the Northern Cavalry, which are improved and used in the usual training. In the future, won't we be able to know ourselves and know the enemy?
"What you mean is that we still have to prepare to fight with Beirong at any time," Huan Ying asked. Then he said affirmatively, "That's right. Do you think about danger in peace and prevent trouble before it happens? Always lie on the edge of the wolf and tiger. Even if you don't fight, you have to understand the wolf and tiger's temper thoroughly.
"Yes," Zhuo Ruitong took a deep breath and said, "Throughout the history of Bei Rong, it seems to have always been turbulent. How long Ye Suhe can stop? None of us can tell. It's always right to take precautions and prepare."
"Then Lu Zisuan and others, listen to what you mean, aren't you allowed to let them go back to Youliang Pass?"
"Yes, after Nie Kong took Suzhou, he basically controlled the situation around him. Originally, he owned the northern granary in Suzhou, so we don't have to worry about the problem of grain and fodder. However, Nie Kong must divide some troops to defend Suzhou. Originally, Nie Kong's troops were not enough. There was also a so-called Wu Wei coalition around him, with a battalion led by Yan Bei, the former general of the imperial court. At the beginning of the uprising of the king of Wu, Yan Bei didn't surrender Wu. It can be seen that he had been bought by Zhuo Yuanle for a long time. If you want such a person to be unobstructed, you don't even think about it.
"Before I left, I heard you say something about Yan other things, but after all, there is only one camp, which can be regarded as nothing. As long as he does not affect Nie Kong's return to the new city, we don't have to pay attention to the rest for the time being," Huanying suddenly seemed to think of something after saying, "No wonder you let Mei Zheng do it for him. Three days later Just marry Lu Zisong. It turns out that you are anxious to let him go south and help Nie Kong attack the capital.
"What's the matter? Do you think it's inappropriate?" Zhuo Ruitong felt that Huanxuan's affection was a little gloomy, so he asked worriedly.
Huanying shook his head and stood up. He walked slowly to the window. The old trees outside the window were full of bitter branches, and the forest was already full. Thinking of the scene when Xiaoci came to Weijun with me, it was just like yesterday. Now she is going to get married. Unfortunately, the time she can spend with Lu Zisang is always so short and hasty. I have also talked to Lu Zisang in Youliang Pass. It is rare for a good general like Lu Zisang to have a heart to be loyal to the country and do his best for the country, but this is hard for Xiaoci. I'm afraid that she has been guarding Lu Zisang's old mother and is much more separated from Lu Zisang. Is this fate?
"So you are worried about Xiaoci?" Zhuo Ruitong also stood up, walked to Huanxuan's side, and said with relief, "Don't worry, these are just temporary. When the situation in the world is stable, the soldiers don't have to go on an expedition, and their wives and children don't have to wait for white heads in the air."
"Well, I also understand that everything is perfect, so it seems to be the same between me and the prince. Everything is unknown and unpredictable, but even Bei Rong's difficult problem has turned around. I believe that the day the prince said is not far away. Ruitong looked at the tree in front of the window of the Goblet Palace. I suddenly remembered a person. I also brought a letter to ask you to inquire about his news. Did you find out?
Zhuo Ruitong said, "Are you talking about Ning Tanger? I have sent someone to Wujun, but there is no trace of Ning Tanger in Wujun several times. Now there is only the Wu Palace left. However, the Wu Palace is heavily guarded, and it is rarer to sneak in than the Wei Palace. I am afraid of disturbing Zhuo Yuanle, but it is a bad thing. So I had to let them sting and wait near the Wu Palace. You really gave me a difficult problem.
"If there was any way to get Zhuo Yuanle out of the Wu Palace," Huanying muttered, "I always feel that if Ning Tanger is of no great use, Zhuo Yuanle will not hide her in the Wu Palace."
"This?" Zhuo Ruitong said, "Zhuo Yuanle wants to send people to Beijing and lurk beside Lou Xun."
"Of course, this is one of them. Huanying went on to say, "It's no use to send people to Beijing. It's safer to kill her than to hide her. But didn't your people find Ning Tang'er's body, which means that Ning Tang'er must still be alive. Nine out of ten possibilities are hidden by Zhuo Yuanle in the King of Wu. In the palace. Then Zhuo Yuanle must have left her just in case. What we need to do now is to take Ning Tanger's card back into our hands just in case, and pretending to be Ning Tanger in the palace. I don't know what she means to Zhuo Yuanle, but I seem to see her from Xiaoci.
"What on earth do you mean by this? It's so roundabout." Zhuo Ruitong frowned and said suspiciously, "Why do I listen to your words?"
