Not sure whether Lord Tianhe's plea to He Ran was acceptable, he turned around and walked towards the government office.
He Ran shouted from behind: "Uncle! Uncle!!"
King Tianhe walked straight into the government office without looking back, and the door was immediately closed.
The general in charge of the siege came over at this time, scratched his head and asked: "Military advisor, if they refuse to surrender, should we just keep surrounding them like this?"
He Ran looked at the door and shook his head with a melancholy expression.[
The general could not understand what the military advisor meant for a moment, and at the same time he could see that the military advisor was unwilling to speak at the moment, so he had to use a searching look to look at the general who was already standing aside.
Xu Tong waved his hand to him and said: "What a shame! Act according to the order. You kept surrounding me until I got the order to withdraw from the siege."
The general bowed quickly and retired.
Xu Tong whispered to He Ran: "What do you think we should do?"
He Ran still shook his head.
"Then go back first. Let's gather around here first. Let's go have a celebration banquet. I'll get them all ready." Xu Tong pulled him.
He Ran did not move, his eyes were still looking at the door of the mansion. Xu Tong had no choice but to stand beside him and accompany him.
After a while, He Ran slowly turned around and said, "Let's go."
Not far after the two of them walked out, heart-rending wails could be heard in the government office. A military academy rushed over to report, and hearing the cries, it was probably Lord Tianhe who had committed suicide.
He Ran only nodded slightly after hearing the report, and Xu Tong asked: "Are you sure that he will commit suicide? Did you not leave just now because you wanted to wait for news of his death?"
He Ran sighed and said: "A generation of loyal and good people died in an aggrieved death. One of them is losing a son in old age, the other is losing land in war, the third is monarch's virtue. This third is especially unbearable for the old man. He Such a loyal person can only die to find relief."
When the two walked back, the door of the mansion had been opened, and a group of personal guards had sent weapons outside. Yi Jun was reasonable and stayed at the place and did not go in to arrest him.
Entering the courtyard, Duke Tianhe's lieutenant Xun Gu was already waiting here. Wiping his tears, he stepped forward to salute and choked with sobs: "Young Master ordered us to abandon our weapons and surrender."
He Ran had met him several times before, patted him on the shoulder and said: "You know, the Jin family has been very kind to me. Please help me comfort all the brothers. You can go or stay as you please. We are in mourning right now." For the most important thing, I will bury my old master properly, and I will also ask you to take the coffin to the ancestral tomb for burial."
Xun Gu said harshly: "Jin Yun told us everything about Dingyang City. The military advisor has done his best to the Duke and the Young Master. We are all willing to follow such a benevolent Lord. A loyal family in Tianhe Mansion, but he ended up... We are already devastated by such an ending. Although my husband ordered the Jin family members not to fight back before his death, I have made up my mind to resist. The coffin will be handed over to Jin Qi, and Jin Yun and the others will escort it. , If the military advisor can trust me, Xun Gu is willing to serve as a pawn in front of the horse. I know the geography and garrison of this area well. I want to see Zhao Min's fate with my own eyes, and then I will sacrifice my husband and young master!"
"As you wish." He Ran said and entered the lobby under the guidance of Xun Gu.
All the Jin family members in the hall had tears on their faces, but they were no longer howling. It can be said that the suicide of the old man was expected by most people, so the grief at the moment was not too intense.
He Ran bowed to the corpse as a son-nephew, and Xu Tong and others also bowed one by one. Jin Qi, the chief guard, was the nephew of Lord Tianhe, and was responding as a filial son.
After making arrangements for the funeral, Xu Tong whispered: "I think this celebration banquet will be forgotten." [
He Ran thought for a while and said: "The soldiers have worked hard to attack the city and the stronghold all the way. Now that we have captured Qulanguan, it's time to take this opportunity to relax. Today is a bit unfavorable. Let's postpone it until tomorrow. Let's eat and drink as much as we can. , but the drums and trumpets will not sound. I will stay at my brother’s funeral for three days and will not go to celebrate with everyone.”
Xu Tong agreed very much with his arrangement of caring for his subordinates, and insisted on keeping a vigil for Lord Tianhe. Firstly, it was because he had been a minister in the same palace before, and secondly, he admired the old Duke's conduct from the bottom of his heart.
That night, Yun Ye, who was in the camp outside the pass, came over and wanted to pay his respects.
After Zi Shi's crying ceremony, the three of them went to the side room to rest.
Drinking tea, Xu Tong sighed: "Good people really don't get rewarded. The old Duke and Brother Jin have no choice in terms of virtue and talent, and they will not end well in the end. What do you think this is?"
Yun Ye shook his head and sighed.
He Ran put down the tea cup in his hand and said calmly: "The principles of heaven are in the heart of the people."
"Bullshit!" Xu Tong snorted disapprovingly.
He Ran said calmly: "This is not nonsense. The so-called natural justice, in short, is fairness and justice. Because you have heaven's justice in your heart, you will complain about them. Everyone has heaven's justice in their heart, and then heaven's justice In the world, the world is not too bad now, most people still have justice in their hearts, and Zhao Min will also get his retribution."
Xu Tongdao: "So what if I kill Zhao Min? The old Duke and Brother Jin can't be reborn. The laws of heaven I talk about are not what you said. Good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. Good people should not be punished. Those who were harmed by evildoers will be killed and no matter what they say, it will be of no use."
"Yes, yes, what the general said is true. Since it is the law of heaven, we should not wait for evil people to do evil before punishing them with evil." Yun Yeda agreed with the same feeling.
"According to what you said, this bad guy must die when he is born?" He Ran looked at the two of them sideways.
"This is really how it should be, but it's a pity that God is not open to it." Xu Tong said with waning interest.
He Ran spoke eloquently: "You are wrong. The theory of heavenly principles was born precisely because of evil people. Evil people come first and then there are natural principles. If the world is full of good people and there is not a single evil deed, where can the theory of natural principles come from? "
When it comes to eloquence, even a hundred Xu Tong and Yun Ye are no match for He Ran. The two looked at each other, and Xu Tong said unconvinced: "Anyway, the laws of nature are not just what you said is fair and just."
"You are right, so what I said is in short. Of course there are other things to elaborate on. However, the world has too many expectations for heavenly justice. If fairness and justice can be achieved, the world will already be peaceful. After this world, there are still things, why doesn't God open his eyes? How do you know that God didn't do this on purpose? I thought: people are born to suffer. This world may be a purgatory where God punishes the wicked, and everyone in the world is guilty. body, so God will not let us live happily."
Xu Tong rolled his eyes at him repeatedly and said: "Okay, you, the whole world belongs to you and you can live freely. You become famous at a young age and you have all the power. You can do whatever you want. Who dares to say 'no' to you?" A beautiful wife, a concubine, a garden, and you alone have two of the four beauties in the world, yet you are 'born to suffer', are you really saying that?"
He Ran sighed: "Do you think I am willing to dominate the country? Do you know how much thought I have to do secretly? I became famous at a young age, but it was earned by fighting hard with my head high. Running around all over the world, I am 100% in the world. I have run away for five or six times, what is this but suffering? It is true that I have a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine in the garden, but there are only a few days in a year that I can enjoy myself at home. I only have beautiful flowers but cannot get close to them. It’s such a hard thing.”
Xu Tong smiled hoarsely and said, "You can really say that. I feel so sorry for what you said. You might as well just go back now."
There was no smile on He Ran's face, and he said with a desolate expression: "Being in purgatory, you are naturally bound by everything, and there is also a kind of friendship. I have a blood debt, how can I just go back and say that I will go back? Kill Zhao Min, kill Ji Gong, and then go back." Yes..., well, just watch, there are a lot of things coming next."
"What else?" Xu Tong stared at him and asked.
"You'll know when the time comes." After saying that, he closed his eyes tiredly. The first release of the novel []Jiuding Military Advisor 263
