Zhurou

Chapter 112 Sending Letters
"Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand gold. The current situation is not easy to move. Your Highness generally cares about the common people. If you can go north as a princess and supervise the battle in person, if you want to come to the capital to learn about the soldiers and the common people, you will be moved. Maybe you can be a soldier of thousands." The use of it—isn’t it also a new force?”

"Although Di's thieves are coming in menacingly, the Xingqing mansion is not without flaws, and the enemy forces besieging Xuzhou are not monolithic. When the siege is over there, the east and north will be freed naturally. After that, everything will be ruined."

"At this moment, the capital is dangerous but not dangerous, and there are the Western Army and the Forbidden Army guarding the city. It is really rare to encounter Di bandit soldiers approaching the city, my minister..."

Pei Yong paused, looked at her, and then slowly said in a low voice: "I must protect Your Highness."

Zhao Mingzhi originally felt that the eyes of the people around him were burning, and it was difficult to look directly at them. Now that he heard this, his heart jumped even more, and he dared not raise his eyes, for fear that once the two of them looked at each other, the atmosphere in the room would change accordingly.

She only moved her eyes away, and she felt that this dodging attitude was actually more self-deceiving, she simply admitted herself, raised her head, and said calmly: "To tell the truth, second brother, I actually wanted to go to the capital by myself, but the capital There are still many former courtiers here, if public opinion coerces you, and you only have a thousand soldiers guarding you, you must know that the Jingzhao Mansion has always been feared by others..."

There was no tension on Pei Yong's face, and he continued: "Then His Highness needs to protect you."

He said again: "If there is no protection from His Highness, how would I dare to break into the dragon's pool and tiger's den like the capital?"

The person in front of him was clearly talking nonsense with his eyes open, but Zhao Mingzhi was completely unwilling to refute.

——Compared with my original idea, the plan proposed by Pei Yong today does not need to disperse the Western Army and the Forbidden Army, but also can check and balance the two sides. After a little thought, you will know which is better.

I didn't dare to make such a plan before, one is that I really don't have such a concept, and the other is, how dare I ask Pei Yong to transfer all the military power of the Western Army from the beginning?

But if he folds it up by himself, the meaning will be completely different.

After thinking about it, Zhao Mingzhi still felt that this method was unfair.

Although he knew that Pei Yong was able to reach his current position, he would never only care about his personal feelings in major matters, and his own thoughts were somewhat wishful thinking, but he hesitated for a while, only savoring the sour and bitter taste in his mouth, and couldn't help saying: "A thousand soldiers is really too much!" few……"

She lowered her eyelids, looked down at the memorial she just got in her hand, stared at the words on it for a while, and then said again: "I know that second brother must consider a lot of considerations in making such a decision, but the Imperial Army is not the Western Army after all. Even if you are here, you may not be able to control the barracks, not to mention that you have few troops and you are the first arrival..."

"Second brother has always acted prudently, but only a thousand soldiers went to the capital together... I don't want to admit that I am passionate, but I am also afraid..."

"But you are also afraid that I will really ruin my own life because I only care about the beauty?" Pei Yong continued without waiting for her to finish.

"If I don't have some confidence in taking over the forbidden army in Gyeonggi, I don't dare to trust it. This time, His Royal Highness will personally serve as a guarantee. I think the supervising army sent by the central government will not be able to do anything wrong. We will be able to get closer with Caizhou."

"As long as I can fight without restraint, and face the Di people in the north, I can still win."

When he said this, there was a bit of a smile in his words. After a while, the smile didn't disappear, but his expression became more serious, and he said: "As for you and me, public is public, private is private— — Even if His Highness does not come here in person, as long as the court is still there and the Central Plains are not lost, I will not sit back and watch the Central Plains fall."

"I used to know all about family affairs. Although there are only four characters for national hatred and family feud, the characters are heavy. If you want to fight, you have to settle foreign affairs first, and then go back and talk to Caizhou."

As he talked, his voice became lower and lower, and finally said: "Ning Ning, you still think too much about me."

"If we can really stabilize our homeland and bring peace to the world, so that others don't follow my old path, so what if we give up some troops and power? The same is the leader. In the past, the Western Army also grew from scratch. Couldn't the Forbidden Army be able to do so in the future? Come again?"

"I have never kept it from you, and I consider myself loyal. It's just as you said, and I also believe that the world is not just the Zhao family. If there is a day..."

He didn't finish speaking, so he stopped.

Only Zhao Mingzhi already knew the unfinished meaning.

With such a frank confession, she really relaxed and felt really happy, so she put down the memorial in her hand, and without thinking about it, she opened her mouth and said: "If there is such a day, the world is so big that those who can naturally live in it, and those who love the people live in it. "

"But since Second Brother considers himself loyal, I have something to say."

Zhao Mingzhi smiled slightly, and said: "Although your Majesty is young and has a simple and honest temperament, if you give it time, you may not be capable, but most likely you will be benevolent."

Pei Yongdao: "If you can assist the benevolent to start well and end well, wouldn't you be able to do a good thing?"

Now that the two talked, Zhao Mingzhi took out his letter from his sleeve without any hesitation, put it in front of Pei Yong, and asked softly: "If that's the case, please teach me—this letter should How should I write it?"

But Pei Yong saw that the superior looked up, so he didn't say much, and summoned the servant to take the pen and ink, and swiped it on the table here, finishing the letter sent to Zhongshu for Zhao Mingzhi.

He didn't care about his own handwriting, which was completely out of the frame. At the end of the writing, he actually dropped his name, so he turned around and asked, "Where's your seal?"

Sure enough, Zhao Mingzhi sent his Fang Xiaoyin over.

Pei Yong took it, wrapped the small seal in ink, pressed it on the signing place, and then pushed the letter back. He filled the pot with tea and didn't eat it, but just looked at Zhao Mingzhi.

After Zhao Mingzhi took it, he bowed his head and read it, and no longer copied it. He first took out a pen and added a few sentences at the end, and then filled in the signature again. He tapped the ink on his right palm and pressed it lightly on the page.

At that moment, there were two inscriptions on the paper, one in front and the other in the back, lined up next to each other, and it was really beautiful after a glance.

She folded the letter, stamped it, and sealed it with wax.

When everything was finished, Pei Yong put the two letters and a memorial in a wooden box without her asking, and after locking it, he ordered his servants to send it to the government office, and immediately arranged for it to be delivered in a hurry.

Seeing that the person left, he didn't call his attendants, but he went to the corner to get a copper basin and saponins, and while Zhao Mingzhi was washing off the oil on his hands, he looked at her and suddenly said: "I need three or two days to work hard enough to get enough." Clean up the hands and tails of several villages in Fandi, since you have come to Jingzhao Mansion, do you want to go with us to see the Western Army in the outer city?"

Zhao Mingzhi was overjoyed and asked, "Is it convenient for me to go and see?"

Pei Yong smiled and said: "Since the imperial court has not issued an order, you are just Zhao Zaoning. You can't enter the Western Army camp randomly. Why can't you look at it when the sky is outside?"

He said again: "I'll go back to the yamen first, and I'll pass by here when I go out of the city, and I'll pick you up."

After finishing speaking, he really got up on his own, but before leaving, he seemed to remember something, took a cloth bag from his waist, put it in front of Zhao Mingzhi, and said: "When I came here, I met someone who was carrying a burden. There are two left, I smell the smell, I only feel that the aroma is very strong, just take it for you to suppress the bitterness of the medicine."

You Te looked at the door, and told Mu Xiang, "Remember to remind Miss Zhao to take the medicine."

After finishing speaking, he looked back, turned and left.

Zhao Mingzhi was left holding the cloth bag, slowly unfastened the tie, and poured out two oblate green tangerines, the aroma was very fresh, but the color made her feel sour at the base of her tongue while looking at it.
