Chapter 134 Heart knot
There is a kind of person who, even if he has just met for a while, even if he meets for the first time, can give you a feeling of being able to be a confidant and trust completely, and can make you express your inner thoughts to him without reservation and without warning.
Perhaps it is because Wang Lun was in the palace for many years and served Zhao Gou, his responsibilities needed to make him a loyal listener and to make him a person. No matter whether Zhao Gou was in a good or bad mood, he was willing to treat him as the first person and could be completely confided and trusted.
So what Wang Lun gave Ye Qing at this moment was a feeling that Ye Qing felt like he was on the list of gold, and meeting an old friend in a foreign land was considered as a way to change his life, and a soldier died for his confidant.
Fortunately, four big words have been hanging above Ye Qing's head since he met Zhao Gou: Ji Qianyan.
Facing Wang Lun who was smiling, Ye Qing smiled silently, and then continued, "You are so noble to me. What kind of virtue can I compare with the loyal ministers and generals in the heart of the emperor? Besides... I came to this world and didn't plan to go back alive, so how could I be afraid of following in anyone's footsteps?"
Ye Qing smiled casually, Wang Lun's face, this was the first time he had looked at the face of a eunuch so seriously. After all, for him, people like eunuchs are difficult to see in future generations.
Wang Lun was stunned for a moment, then figured out Ye Qing's meaning, "I didn't plan to go back alive when I came to this world." He gave Ye Qing a thumbs up and sighed: "General Ye is still such a funny person. Our family is taught today."
"The noble man in the middle is in love." Ye Qing bowed and then got off the carriage under Wang Lun's eyes.
Seeing Ye Qing's carriage slowly leaving until the carriage disappeared from Zhonghe Lane, the trustworthy and sincere smile on Wang Lun's face never changed. Perhaps this guy would have this face even when he wanted to kill someone in his heart, like a tiger with a smile on his face.
Wang Lun turned around and returned to the house. The palace maids, eunuchs, including the Palace Front Office and the Guard Office, who were dispersed by Zhao Gou, seemed to have never left, and still stood in the original place.
Zhao Gou was also drinking tea leisurely and without even turning back, he asked in a low voice: "How? From your Wang Lun's perspective, can this person be entrusted with great responsibility?"
Wang Lun walked not far behind Zhao Gou and stopped. His face was still a smile that had not changed for thousands of years, but his eyes became solemn than ever before. Looking at Zhao Gou's back, he pondered the next words in his heart.
"Oh? Is it true that you, Wang Lun, are you, misleading? Or do I have misleading?" Zhao Gou was a little anxious. He didn't hear Wang Lun behind him for a long time. He slowly turned his head and looked at Wang Lun behind him and asked.
"The Lord has misunderstood. I just can't see this person clearly. Moreover... my conclusion is probably a bit too ridiculous." Wang Lun lowered his head, and his eyes said even more solemnly.
"But it's okay." Zhao Gou's heart sank, Wang Lun looked at people with great accuracy. This time he was a little conflicted and entangled. Could it be that he really overestimated Ye Qing?
Wang Lun clenched his fists unconsciously in his sleeves, and then said calmly: "If this person is used well, he will definitely not be able to compare with Yue Fei, Zhang Jun and others."
Zhao Gou did not speak, but turned around and continued to pick up the teacup. Wang Lun continued to say: "This person cannot be a prime minister or a general, or a general or a general. They will all be like the Great Wall of the Frontier of the Song Dynasty."
"Why?" Zhao Gou slowly put down the teacup, and then asked again: "The Jin Man can't do anything to him?"
"If you go back to the emperor, I don't know how this person uses troops to fight. It depends on whether he can fulfill your will this time. But this person's thoughts are not comparable to any general of my Song Dynasty." Wang Lun lowered his head and stared at an ant under his feet. A branch that was several times larger than his body was dragged forward by the ant.
"It is difficult to judge whether a person is loyal. If you only have a mere incense stick, how dare you draw such a conclusion?" Zhao Gou's voice became deeper.
Wang Lun was still motionless, but his heart felt much more relaxed than before, and replied: "I heard from Ye Qing that the emperor mentioned Yue Fei to him. Ye Qing obviously had no sympathy or admiration for Yue Fei's death, nor did he show any regrets, but he was not a person who was afraid of fighting with the Lord. So I asked him why..."
"What did he say?" Zhao Gou asked.
"He said that Yue Fei killed himself, and should not blame the court, nor should he blame... The Emperor. He said: Those who are generals, commanders and soldiers should not have their own will. If they have their own will, then it is not unfair to die. The army of the Song Dynasty can only have one voice and one will, and that is the only will of the Lord. Soldiers are the major affairs of the country, and the sharp sword of our Song Dynasty guarding the border. Soldiers should take obeying the imperial edict as their duty, but how can they put their thoughts and wills above the soldiers?"
"So his final conclusion was: Soldiers are sharp swords, whether to sheath or return to sheath, the will of the priest should be based on the order of the emperor." Wang Lun's mind came from time to time, and the words Ye Qing had just talked to him.
"Disregard the interests of the country and the country? Only take the imperial edict as the most? Did he never think about the Northern Expedition? Or did he just want to be a deputy commander safely? He said without saying a word." Zhao Gou asked lightly. He was sure that Wang Lun would definitely ask Ye Qing like this.
"If you go back to the emperor, I will ask him this way. Ye Qing smiled disdainfully at first."
Wang Lun continued to say in his tone of Ye Qing: "The responsibility of a military general is only to fight and guard the frontier. What does the civil servants who govern the country and ensure national interests have civil servants who have peace and stability? I just need to be prepared to fight at all times. As for politics and politics, it shouldn't be the general who intervenes. I'm talking too much, the court has not given me the money. What's more, you, a military general, do you do if you are a military general? Is it better to be a civil servant who often leads troops outside to fight? Do you know the country and the country? Do you want to fight?
, If the north is not expedition, is it higher than the interests of the country? Don’t you understand? Actually, what I mean is: national interests are above everything else, whether to fight or harmony, when the overall situation is the most important thing, the interests of the country are the most important. As a general... Just be yourself, don’t fight for the sake of the war. When the Lord asks you to go to war, you can win. When the Lord asks you to fight west, don’t fight east, the Lord asks you to lose, you can run faster than the enemy. Therefore, soldiers should take obeying orders as their duty! That’s enough."
"National interests are above everything else! Soldiers are obeying orders as their duty!" Zhao Gou played with the teacup in his hand, then murmured these two sentences, sighed to the sky, and said helplessly: "How great would it be if Yue Fei had such an enlightenment back then! Why should he force the court that had not yet gained a foothold? Even if you want to welcome the two saints back? But the court hurriedly went south to establish its capital. Although everything was not in a mess, it had to have time to reorganize the market! The new defeat of the court was like a rootless duck floating on the water. Even in the south, there were not a few people riots.
In order to stabilize the country, how can the court not use troops? In the Northern Expedition, we must use troops to welcome the two saints, and we must use troops to stabilize the remaining country! I must defend half of the country and not trampled by the Jin cavalry to use troops! My life is really as free and easy as you think? Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are in a dilemma. Should I be loyal to the remaining country and country left by my father and brother, or should I give all the strength of the court to risk the destruction of the country and the seeds to welcome back my father and brother? When the country is stable, I abdicated to the seventh generation grandson of Taizu. Is it considered a return to the original owner? Are I afraid of being taken away from the throne?"
"I gave up my face and let Zhao Xing rehabilitate you. Even if Qin Hui was ineffective, he was still guilty of you. But can the Northern Expedition be effective now? I have returned to the descendants of Taizu, and want to tell the people of the world that I am not greedy for the throne and dare not win back the two saints, but because I know very well that the power of the Song Dynasty, which is in a corner, is far from being able to recover the lost territory by you, Yue Fei! If you, Yue Fei, are still here, how good it would be. If you, Yue Fei, want to recover the lost territory and wash away the shame of Jing Kang, I will be absolutely right! This house will be given to Ye Qing from today, and let him move here tomorrow." Zhao Gou patted his knees and stood up, full of energy, with a look of arrogance in the world, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Master." Wang Lun responded quickly, then looked at Zhao Gou who was as confident as a mountain, hesitated and said: "Is it not popular? Is it from the palace..."
"It's up to you, but don't go too far. In the future, you will be the only one in the Imperial City Department. It's only a matter of time before you can find out how many people you're found. Just master that degree." Zhao Gou walked forward and said without looking back.
The seemingly unclear words made Wang Lun happy in his ears. Once again, he followed Zhao Gou and walked out of the mansion.
Even Wang Lun admired Ye Qing a little. He said to his words as if he was completely dedicated to the Supreme Emperor. When he passed them on to the Supreme Emperor, Wang Lun himself could not have imagined that such an effect would be able to untie some of the knots in the Supreme Emperor's mind that had been involved for many years.
"The national interests are too much, and soldiers are responsible for obeying orders."
These words seem to be Ye Qing's position, but it is more like accusing Yue Fei of being a general in front of Zhao Gou, who was making mistakes made by acts of intent and interference in the court. It is like Zhao Gou's death of Yue Fei and the criticism of the world and the ruling and ruling, and found a little reason for Zhao Gou to death.
Yue Fei was murdered on false charges, and the folk rumors and memorials of Yue Fei were more or less like an unsolved knot for Zhao Gou, which was suppressed deep in Zhao Gou's heart.
It seems that the murder of Yue Fei was the stupidest thing he had done since Zhao Gou was in power.
But today Ye Qing's words, especially the national interests above everything else, and the soldiers' duty to obey orders completely unraveled the entanglement and reason in Zhao Gou's heart, making him begin to feel that the death of Yue Fei was not forced by the Jin people! It was not caused by his own cowardice. It was because of Yue Fei's own fault, surpassing the responsibility of being a military general!
The carriage slowly walked on the Imperial Street. When Zhao Qier arrived at Qinghefang, he jumped off the carriage easily and walked towards Yan Mansion. He went to inform Yan Qingcheng to get up two days later and go to Sizhou, because Ye Qing would go to Sizhou in a few days, so it would be better to walk together.
Old Liu and Ye Qing jumped out of the carriage in front of the Slightly Wind and Drizzle Tower. Ye Qing held Wang Lun's explanation of his affairs and felt that it was necessary to ask Li Qingzhao for help.
Pop Li San returned to the Imperial City Division in a carriage, then rode a fast horse, and left the city like a gust of wind to go to the imperial guard camp. According to Ye Qing's intention, he needed to find a hundred good players and follow him to Sizhou, so he was responsible for gathering one hundred good players.
