Yunyang caressed the green hair of Yun Xiaoxi's hairpin.
“Two years ago, grandpa visited you in that warm little courtyard in the old grasslands of Peru.
Seeing that you are safe and sound, grandpa's heart is relieved.
Later, the big black dog you raised noticed it, and grandpa didn’t know how to deal with you who faked his own death to escape from marriage, so he could only leave quietly!"
Yun Xiaoxi raised his head silently and looked at Yunyang in surprise: "That time two years ago when Heizi kept barking, it turned out to be you, grandpa? Xi'er thought he was the person sent by my mother to secretly protect me!
Later, Xi'er searched for a long time but found no trace of anyone, and thought Heizi was barking because he saw a pheasant or a hare passing by!"
“Of course it’s grandpa. Not just once, but every year grandpa will take time to visit you. Due to the lessons learned last time, grandpa used a telescope to peek at you herding sheep and horses from a distance the next few times.”
“Daddy Xi’er, does he also know that I’m still alive?”
Yunyang shook his head silently: "Your father's grandfather didn't tell him. As for whether your mother told his grandfather, I don't know.
You are still alive, which is not a good thing for my Yun family, Li family, or the court.
Grandpa could only keep this matter in his heart.
I thought that from now on, until my grandfather dies, he will only be able to secretly visit you in his hometown in Peru.
I didn’t expect that God would be so kind to me, and the apple of my grandfather’s eye would actually come to see me.
But God was unfair to grandpa again, because the apple of his eye came back to see me, not because she missed grandpa, but because she came back for her sweetheart.
Tell me, grandpa should be happy or sad."
Yun Xiaoxi gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked at Yunyang who was sighing guiltily.
“Grandpa, you know why Xi’er came back.”
“Grandpa is old, but he is not old and confused yet.
You will not come back sooner or later, but you come to see grandpa just when your good cousin Liu Mingzhi, your sweetheart, proclaims himself emperor and marches his troops northward, why do you need grandpa to say more?
Naturally, I am here to act as Liu Xiaozi’s lobbyist and persuade Grandpa to command his troops to bow down to Liu Xiaozi!
The floor is cold, stop sitting on your knees and get up."
Yun Xiaoxi stood up slowly, biting her lip lightly and not daring to look directly at Yunyang's old eyes that seemed turbid, but seemed to be able to see through everything.
I thought I thought that the strategy of using Jin Chan's shelling fake death and escaped the marriage and cheated all the people who knew the truth. It turned out that Grandpa had already been only clear.
“Grandpa me”
“Child, my grandpa understands your thoughts, but you shouldn’t get into this muddy water.
This matter is not a private matter between Grandpa and Liu Xiaozi. If you come forward for other ordinary matters, Grandpa will definitely give you a face and happily accept the matter.
But this matter concerns the imperial court, the previous dynasty, the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the peace of the people in the world.
No matter how much grandpa loves you, grandpa cannot agree to this matter no matter what."
“Grandpa, what’s the point of fighting with your cousin?
The previous dynasty has passed. Besides, you also know the root cause of your cousin’s rebellion. It was the unkindness of the imperial court.
My cousin made great contributions to the previous dynasty, but what greeted him was not glory and wealth, nor death, but an assassination attempt that killed him.
In terms of both emotion and reason, it makes sense for my cousin to raise an army to rebel.
Are you going to be like Sister Shan'er's father and your old brother General Jin Yi? If the king wants the minister to die, then the minister has to die to be considered a loyal minister and a good general?
Is a lasting reputation really more important than life?
Furthermore, the reason why General Jin Yi was given a glass of wine to clear out the Chinese army's tent was understandable.
After all, he insulted Emperor Weihe in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers for abusing his treacherous ministers and being a cowardly king. The matter caused a huge uproar. Only by committing suicide could he quell the rumors in the court and among the people.
Although his death was unjust and depressing, there was nothing he could do about it.
Where is my cousin?
Is there any wrong reason for his Fengyundu assassination?
Since he entered the temple at the age of nineteen, has he ever done anything against the wishes of the court, the people, the soldiers, and the world? Has he ever done anything disobedient and rebellious?
If you want to hand over power, hand over power; if you want to save the country, save the country; if the country is governed, then govern the country.
He assisted three emperors successively: Ruizong, Wuzong, and Xiandi. When he was in Beijing, it was true that he was lazy and neglectful at court meetings, but was he ever slacking off at all in important matters and official affairs?
You are the Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition. Go and ask the soldiers and horses under your command in the Sixth Guards of Northern Border.
Cousin, in terms of the country, the people, and the country, what crime does he commit?
For the last request of the late Emperor Wu Zong, he even went to war with Yue'er and his daughter.
As long as the late Emperor Li Ye was a wise king, he would not have taken such a foolish step.
Xi'er doesn't understand government affairs, but Xi'er knows what it means to compare one's feelings with one's own!"
Yunyang looked at Yun Xiaoxi, who was filled with indignation and expressed his dissatisfaction over Liu Mingzhi's nearly assassination, and shook his head with a wry smile.
“Xi’er, a court is a court and a human relationship is a human relationship. They can never be confused.
Even if your cousin were standing here, he would not say 100% that what your Majesty did was absolutely wrong.
For ordinary people, human feelings are fundamental.
But for temples, stance is fundamental!
Your Majesty is right, and your cousin is not wrong either. I can only say that God’s will plays tricks on people, and the world is wrong.
If Wuzong had still been built, perhaps the situation today would not exist.
That’s all, you won’t understand if I tell you this.
There is no need for you to ask anything about this matter, and there is no need to lobby Grandpa.
Let grandpa think about it carefully.
Grandpa ordered your favorite sweet and sour pork. You have suffered a lot on the grassland with simple meals. You can eat more later to replenish your body.
Recommended, [ app ] is really good and worth installing. After all, you can cache and read books and read aloud offline!
You will stay at the inn these days, and grandpa will come see you when he has time."
"grandfather!"
“Be obedient, grandpa will come to see you when he has time. Grandpa will send someone to take care of the cattle, sheep and horses outside your small courtyard, so you can settle down in peace for now.”
After Yun Yang finished speaking, he stood up and walked directly out of the door without waiting for Yun Xiaoxi's words.
Yun Xiaoxi, who knew her grandfather's character well, could only helplessly watch Yunyang go downstairs and leave.
On the official road to the north of Mingzhou Prefecture.
Song Qing drank the wine and glanced at Liu Dashao who was driving together.
“If you don’t go and see Li Ting, the Ming King, aren’t you afraid of what he is doing behind his back?”
“What shouldn’t come will never come no matter how much you think about it; what should come will still come no matter how afraid you are.
Since this is the case, it is better to take advantage of the situation, otherwise it will mess up the original plan.
You know I don’t like to add extraneous details!”
“You’ve made a lot of sense, and the implication is that you don’t have to worry about what little tricks Li Ting might do!”
“Yes!”
The sound of the golden eagle neighing came from the sky, and the two brothers immediately tightened their reins and stopped.
The golden eagle swooped towards the ground, flapped its wings and landed on Song Qing's shoulder.
Song Qing took off the bamboo tube, took out the note, read it a few times, and handed it to Mr. Liu with a playful look.
“Two groups of soldiers and horses have already bypassed Mingzhou and are heading towards your place of nirvana.
If nothing unexpected happens, if the road is open, the army will be able to reach Yingzhou within ten days.
At that time, if the remaining soldiers and horses of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang insist on supporting orthodoxy, what are you going to do? Really..."
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the contents of the note in Song Qing's hand, waved his whip and rode away.
“Use force to stop war!”
Song Qing sighed quietly, tore the note in his hand into pieces, threw it up, and followed on horseback.
Mingzhou Mansion is located on the official road at the junction of Fengyundu.
A slightly noble carriage stood in the middle of the official road, blocking the progress of the two young brothers Liu.
“Hurry!”
“Hurry!”
Song Qing stabilized his mount and drew out the sword from his waist with alert eyes: "Who is in front of you? How dare you block the official road in the middle. I don't know what the crime of blocking the official road is, Princess He? Why is it you?"
While Song Qing was questioning him, a beautiful figure jumped out of the carriage with the help of a maid. It was none other than the concubine He Shu who was sent to Mingzhou for refuge by King Li Tao of Zhao.
He Shu nodded slightly in response to Song Qing, and turned his gaze directly to Liu Mingzhi, who looked equally astonished.
He Shu's eyes revealed complicated meanings, and Song Qing couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Song Qing seemed to understand something. He put the horizontal sword into its sheath, leaned towards Liu Mingzhi and whispered in a low voice: "The person who came here is evil. Most likely, he came to you to ask about King Zhao's situation, or there is a possibility of directly asking for someone."
Song Qing naturally didn't know that He Shu's complicated eyes were related to the ridiculous affair that happened by chance with Young Master Liu in Prince Zhao's Mansion, so he expressed his guess.
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a complicated expression: "In all likelihood, that's the case, but how she knew about it is confusing to both of us. It's not a secret that the army is heading north. It's not impossible to wait and see."
"It's not appropriate for me to be here to interfere with this kind of thing. I'll go ahead and wait for you."
"Um!"
Song Qing looked around to make sure there was no ambush, then he calmly rode around the carriage and galloped away.
