It's night,? The bonfire is gradually growing, and the red flames are shaking, licking the firewood underneath, and burning.
In the tent, a person stood in front of the desk.
Cao Gang picked up the pen, but it stopped there. After a long while, the accumulated ink dripped from the tip of the brush, and the yellowed paper on the table was immediately stained with a thick circle of deep black.
His eyes moved, sighed,? Put down the pen,? Looked at the soiled rice paper,? Immediately picked it up, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it aside. As if anxiously, he clenched his hands into fists, and slammed it heavily on the table, causing all the things on the table to jump up, accompanied by a few bangs, and then fell silent.
After he came out of King Guang'an's camp,?He has always had a breath of anger that can't be released. This anger includes self-loathing of underestimating the enemy, depression of unfulfilled ambitions, and resentment of unrequited vengeance...heavy The emotions are intertwined, so that he can't fall asleep all night, and he can only write in the middle of the night with dim candles.
But now, I can't write half a penny.
He sighed,? Staggered back a few steps, sat down on the chair.
The current situation is completely different from the previous life. The Qianlong he assisted has been changed.
The memory suddenly returned to the previous life.
Before serving the Red Tiger King, he had seen him.
At that time, he was still the champion of the Jiangnan Mansion, and he was also the envoy of the Imperial Academy who was highly appreciated by His Majesty. He was full of ambition.
On that day, several colleagues were whispering about something. He was not the kind of person who likes to inquire, but his colleagues squeezed over and told him something.
Last night, a unclean official prostitute died in Jiaofang Division.
Originally, this was not a big deal. In the huge Gyeonggi, all sorts of nasty things have happened in the open and in the dark. The death of a mere official prostitute is not shocking, but this official prostitute is different. She is the traitor Ni Yan Daughter, and died a disgraceful death.
"I heard that in order to stand out for the official prostitutes of my good friend, I angered a group of princes from aristocratic families, so I put them in a private room and took turns... Doing evil, only twelve!"
Cao Gang was surprised when he heard this, but he didn't say much.
But when the court was up that day, the court shook, and several generals were dragged out to fight on the spot. He heard that it was all about impeachment. Only then did he know that the group who committed the crime yesterday were all noble children. The grandson of the Prime Minister of the Right, the son of the Minister of the Household Department, and other important officials' blood relatives are all involved.
Ni Yan has made outstanding achievements and has a high prestige in the hearts of the generals. Although he has been accused of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country for many years, this case is still a mystery. He said, but more or less secretly indignant, the daughter of a military general who opened up the territory died tragically at the hands of the children of the family.
Even so, this major matter was resolved after reprimanding and relegating several generals.
The external caliber is that the official prostitute attacked the guest and was injured to death by mistake. The government also issued a ban, and she must not mention this matter in the future, otherwise she will be severely punished.
There is not one or two things that are kept secret in the huge imperial court. Cao Gang thought that after a while, everyone will gradually forget about this matter, just like every public opinion in the past.
After getting off the court, Cao Gang passed the long street as usual, but found that the road ahead was surrounded by layers of crowds, and people whispered to each other for unknown reasons—it was the position of Jiaofang Secretary.
Suddenly, the crowd gave way as if avoiding the plague, so Cao Gang saw his overlord who would assist in the future.
However, the overlord at this time was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old disfigured boy. He carried a thin man covered with a robe, and walked out step by step from the gate of the Jiaofang Division. In order not to let the younger sister on his back slip off, he walked extremely slowly with heavy steps.
A gust of wind blew up, rolled up the sand on the ground, and also blew off the robe covering the girl's back, revealing the pale face of death and the blood-soaked but dried-up dress in an instant.
The place where the robe landed was vacated in an instant, and the crowd hid far away, talking a lot.
The young man stood still for a moment, and walked towards the robe. His limbs seemed to be rigid. He bent down to pick up the robe with great difficulty, and covered his sister with his backhand, but just The good slipped to the ground again, and he stared blankly at the dusty robe, like a bound beast.
For some reason, Cao Gang's brain became hot, and he rushed forward to help him pick up the robe on the ground. In his hands, he could only grit his teeth secretly and cover the girl on his back for him.
The disfigured boy turned his head, gave him an indifferent look, quickly turned his head away, and walked into the distance.
It was only later that he found out that Yan Lie had joined Jiang Jing Governor's Mansion at that time, and made countless military exploits with all his might, but he still hadn't had time to change his sister's low status.
After that, the group of dandies who committed crimes stayed quiet for a while, because there were always rumors that the beast would secretly retaliate. It has been unsuccessful.
Later, many years passed, until when Yan Lie ruled the governor's mansion, replaced the governor Xue Zaixing, and took over the troops of the two rivers and three provinces, he did not have any means of revenge.
Everyone thought that things just passed in such a vague way, until the fall of the capital, the capital fell into the hands of that person, and the lowly slave in the palace of that year ascended to the highest position, and all the revenge had just begun.
After offering sacrifices to heaven, the former officials who surrendered were invited to the Temple of Heaven by the smiling new emperor.
On the high platform, there was a huge iron cage containing all kinds of ferocious beasts. Accompanied by the piercing screams, someone recognized that it was the instigator who participated in the incident of torturing and killing official prostitutes—the grandson of the former right prime minister. Zhang Shi.
Everyone was in an uproar, with cold sweat all over their faces, and the right minister had already been fighting with each other, and passed out on the spot.
From that day on, the new emperor will bring his ministers to the Temple of Heaven to watch a bloody fight between man and beast. But unlike the lowly slaves in the palace back then, none of those evil, powerless young masters escaped being torn apart.
There are many people who committed suicide in fear of crime, but the corpses were also dug out by the new emperor, and they were thrown in the same iron cage for the beasts to tear and devour. The bloody performance lasted for more than half a month, until the blood on the Temple of Heaven drenched the ground The blue bricks, this is the end.
In those years, when anyone mentioned the person on the supreme position, no one would show a somewhat horrified look.
But Cao Gang will not.
Xu experienced the same tragic family ruin. When he looked at the blood on the Temple of Heaven, he had a sense of revenge that was almost abnormal. It reminded him of Li Yuanxu, the fourth prince who was captured back then. The Red Tiger King was not on the spot. kill him, but send him to his camp.
He is no more benevolent than the Red Tiger King.
Therefore, as a close minister, he did not have any rational dissuasion from the brutal behavior of the new emperor.
Because he deeply understands the hatred fermented to the point of anxiety.
"Hahahahaha..."
Cao Gang leaned on the head of the seat dejectedly and smiled sadly. In this life, the Red Tiger King was redeemed, only he was still stuck in the quagmire, without any power to revenge.
The Red Tiger King is no longer the Red Tiger King in his previous life, and the anger in his heart is not enough to arouse his vigorous ambition to annex the world.
He lost the biggest support.
Cao Gang laughed again, looking extraordinarily bleak in the late autumn night.
***
The bright sun hangs in the sky. After all, Lingnan is in the south. Even at the end of autumn, it is still green, and the loneliness of autumn cannot be seen at all.
Li Yuanmin stood on the grass with his hands behind his back, watching the bright girl in front of him pulling the reins and galloping wantonly in the blue sky and emerald sea. She was so fresh, beautiful, and full of the heat of life. She was no longer the tragic death in her previous life. girl.
There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but he was almost on the verge of tears.
It's night, the night wind is a bit chilly, but the grass is hot.
After a long time, the movement stopped.
Li Yuanmin gasped weakly while holding the head on his chest.
A nightingale sang softly, feeling somewhat lonely in this quiet suburb.
Yi Lie was worried that he would catch a cold, and planned to get up to dress him, but when he moved, the people under him hugged his neck to prevent him from getting up.
"Your Highness?"
Li Yuanmin looked at him quietly for a while, then suddenly said: "Our business... I want to tell Ah Ying."
The man on the body was breathless, and said hoarsely, "Really?"
Li Yuanmin touched his face for a long time.
"Aying is our dearest person...she should know."
Even if their love is not in the world, at least they want their loved ones to understand.
Yan Lie's eyes were filled with intense emotion, and it took him a long time before he suppressed himself and only hugged him gently.
"good."
