At dusk, Jiang Heng said to Prince Taki again, "Your Highness, can you accompany me out of the palace?"
Prince Taki said, "I will accompany you anytime."
"Where are we going? It's dinner time," Geng Shu said after talking to Jiang Heng all day, "I'll go too."
Ju Cong came out with the ministers at this time, looked at Jiang Hengyi, his heart was bright, and he would definitely follow his proposal, but no one could say what he could only say through the mouth of Prince Taki. After all, he has heir status.
Juicong looked at Jiang Heng, and suddenly thought of another person, Jiang Zhao, who should have been his wife.
When Jiang Zhao was willing to marry him no matter what, it really made him angry, and he was always treated with cynicism, which caused him to have no good feelings for Jiang Zhao. This child was brought by Jiang Zhao, as if he had come to collect debts from him, and his expression was exactly the same.
"How's the new company going?" Juicong looked down at the young people.
"I'll have a look soon." Prince Taki said.
Juicong's face softened a little, and said, "Tomorrow will come, and Juicong will stay in the East Palace."
Geng Shu is asking for it.
"I found out that since I entered the palace," Jiang Heng laughed, "I've always made him angry, what makes him angry and say something."
Prince Taki said, "As I said, don't be afraid of you."
Geng Shu changed into his normal clothes and came out, and replied, "It's very good, what can I say?"
Geng Shu has always cared about the golden seal. Seeing that he is a piece of scrap metal, his behavior of robbing it is inexplicable.
"Where are you going?" Prince Taki said.
Jiang Heng said, "Foreign affairs."
Prince Taki understood, and sure enough, Jiang Heng took him to the inn in the city and introduced him to Shan Ze.
Shan Ze has been recovering from his injuries these days, and when he sees Prince Taki, he is busy kneeling and bowing.
Prince Taki sighed and said, "Shanqing."
Jiang Heng hid Shan Ze in a hidden inn in the city. In the early winter, the light was dim, Shan Ze had not recovered from his long illness, and he coughed a few times. He tried his best to bow to the prince.
When Prince Taki recalled the past, he always felt that he should have seen Yamazawa, perhaps when he was very young. But he remembered everything.
He had long known Shan Ze's name as "the most beautiful man outside the Great Wall", but he was preconceived in his impression. Shan Ze had always been a burly and strong barbarian outside the Great Wall, and he thought that he was so weak and forbidden to wind.
Shan Ze's face was pale, and it was obvious that he had been tortured for a while, and because he had been in the water prison for a long time, he suffered from severe rheumatism.
Prince Taki and Shan Ze stared blankly at each other, and they were speechless for a long time. Jiang Heng broke the silence and only sat quietly beside Geng Shu.
"His Royal Highness," Yamazawa said.
"Have we met?" Prince Taki finally said.
"Once," Shan Ze said, "the day you sealed the prince."
"It's seven years old." Prince Taki recalled the hazy past.
Shan Ze said in a low voice, "Shui Jun and I were among the guests who came to congratulate us and saw you from a distance."
"The scene must be very prosperous." Jiang Heng now has a little knowledge of the history of Yong, and he knows that the crown prince Taki's conquest of the crown is a grand event in the Yong Kingdom. In the past few minutes, Ju Lang passed away, and then the queen Jiang Qing died. , Geng Yuanqin sings the world, attracting blood feuds from the four kingdoms. The kingdom of the north is shrouded in dark clouds, and the royal family of the Ju clan needs to boost the confidence of the people.
Shan Ze said slowly: "I still remember Feng Chu, I heard the 'Book of Sacrifice to Heaven' read by His Highness, and in a blink of an eye, a lot of them passed by."
Prince Taki fell into contemplation, and after a long time, he slowly said, "Speak to the heavens, and comfort the loess below."
"I'm going to do what I've learned in my life for this country."
"I will regard all the people of the world as my heirs."
"I will mourn with the people and rejoice with the people."
"My land is the land of the people, I should have nothing, and what I get is what the people will get."
"The people who live on this land, regardless of ethnicity or distinction, I will advance and retreat with you, live and die together."
"I will lead Yong Yong and the whole world to a peaceful and prosperous age and a splendid road ahead."
Jiang Hengshang knew about the documents that sacrificed to heaven and earth when the Yong Kingdom sealed the emperor. According to Jin rituals and rituals, countries and even Ji clan established reserve and reported to heaven and earth, using a lot of obscure ancient language, which is difficult for scholars to understand when offering sacrifices to heaven. , the people can even understand a sentence.
The Yong people established their country with martial arts, and have always deliberately rejected red tape, which is also in line with Ju Cong's view on this.
"It's very good," Jiang Heng said. "Who's this guy?"
"My own." Prince Taki smiled embarrassedly, and said, "My aunt, what should I say when offering sacrifices to heaven. She said 'whatever you want to say, just say it, say a few words if you can. understand'."
Shan Ze said: "When I heard His Highness read the 'Book of Sacrifice to Heaven', I was filled with mixed feelings."
After a moment of silence, Prince Taki said, "I will regard all the people of the world as my heirs. The people living in this land, regardless of ethnicity or distinction, I will advance and retreat with you, live and die together."
After speaking, Prince Taki sighed sadly again, and said, "Shan Ze, what do you want to say to me?"
book
"Yes," Shan Ze said with a smile, "I know that His Highness still remembers what he said, and I will ask for nothing more. I will play a tune for you to listen to."
When Prince Taki heard the words, he sat upright, Shan Ze took a bone flute, pressed his thin fingers on the air hole, tried it lightly, and then blew it.
The flute of the North is called "Yunxiao", and it is made of the leg bones of the deceased. Shan Ze raised his head, and the sound of the flute carried an obvious sadness, as if venting out all the sadness that lingered on the ground in the north.
When Prince Taki heard the beginning, he realized it and burst into tears.
Jiang Heng suddenly understood Shan Ze's deep meaning. On the way back from Haocheng, he and Shan Ze went back and forth, and stopped discussing how to defend this grievance for Di Ren and restore the belated truth.
One of the most important is to convince the prince Taki that he will explain the crux of all the problems. Shan Ze prepared thousands of words and detailed evidence, ready to risk Chen Shu's death on the first day of arriving in Luoyan City, and plan the consequences.
But after careful consideration, Jiang Heng stopped him.
What kind of person is Prince Taki? In this half of Jiang Heng's life, the most important thing is this sentence. He is only concerned with Jie Gui and Geng Shu. Geng Shu is the person who spends the most time with the prince, but he himself said clearly how the prince Taki is.
He is an excellent person, the most excellent, but he has the kindness of a king. He is in the deep palace, he is well protected, and his character is half-hearted. He is kind and simple, and sincerely hopes Yongguo Become strong and the people can live a good life.
He always worked hard in front of Juicong, trying to prove himself.
This also means that even if Geng Shu resists letting Juicy take the place of Jiang Heng's "younger brother", he has never disliked him, just because Juicy is different from Jiang Heng and Geng Shu, then He worked hard. He worked hard for the goals that Ju Cong set for him, even though many times he was not up to it.
Just like the battle at Yubi Pass, he needed to prove himself too much and needed the approval of the courtiers. This kind of effort, Geng Shu has never seen in Jiang Heng. Geng Shu and Jiang Heng are very open-minded, they do everything, but they want to be worthy of their hearts.
So maybe we can do it another way? Jiang Heng always believes that it is useless to let Shan Ze state the facts. After all, people who believe will believe it if they say more; people who believe will always believe it.
Shan Ze understood Jiang Heng's proposal at that time, and once reflected on himself. You are right, those are all important, important, how to get Prince Taki's heart, or in other words, how to let him find his own heart. Disputes between Di and the Wei family, ownership of land, rebellion, etc... are all important.
Jiang Heng's "attack on the heart" reminded the prince Taki of his original intention, and then he went to face Di Ren's disappointment in him as the prince. As Geng Shu said, Prince Taki has taken on too many people's expectations. Once Di Ren shows "disappointment" to him, he will re-examine himself.
The moment he saw Prince Taki's tears, Jiang Heng knew that they had succeeded.
After the song finished, the four people in the room fell silent again, Shan Ze wiped the bone flute and put it away.
"Follow me to the East Palace." Prince Taki wiped away his tears and said earnestly, "Shan Ze, I have betrayed your trust, I have tried it, but I will do my best, and now that I think about it, I will It's still hard enough. It's not the past, just trust me again..." Prince Taki choked: "Shan Ze, I will protect you and Di Ren."
At night, a carriage entered the East Palace.
At the beginning of the shift, Jiang Heng was sorting out his government affairs, while Geng Shu was planning the military affairs details of the change. It was obvious that everyone was relaxed. On the way to travel abroad, Jiang Heng tirelessly reminded Geng Shu that he must do his homework in advance when the war starts. Geng Shu simply listened and went in, and when he arrived at the moment, he felt a lot of confusion and confusion.
"After the army was sorted out, why is it so chaotic?" Geng Shu said.
"Have you found out?" Jiang Heng complained when he took over government affairs under Prince Taki.
Geng Shu took a look at Jiang Heng's case. He was always good at handling documents. The articles contradicted each other and had to be simplified.
"Your father is right," Jiang Heng reminded, "you have to open the house."
After Geng Shu succeeded the future prince Taki, he was the first to take over the military power of the Yong Kingdom. The army is the foundation of the country. He alone can deal with it by himself. He must have an independent staff system.
"Do you live with me?" Geng Shu thought, if Jiang Heng lived in his mansion, he would have no opinion on when to open the mansion.
Jiang Heng said, "Of course, otherwise where can I go?"
"Then I'll tell my father tomorrow." Geng Shu cut and edited the decree, which was really a headache.
Jiang Heng laughed and laughed, and said, "Wait until the end of the battle at Yubi Pass." He guessed that Juicong's original intention was also the same.
At this time, Prince Taki came, looked at the cluttered room, and said to Geng Shu, "Brother, how did dinner go?"
"You're very busy," Geng Shu said, "you can go back when you have something to do, don't make trouble."
Jiang Heng laughed. Geng Shu just wanted to spend more time with him, so he hurriedly excused himself from going to the Peach Blossom Palace for dinner.
Prince Taki sat down beside him, and just settled Shan Ze, and came to see Jiang Heng. Jiang Heng also opened his mouth to inquire, taking care of himself and recording the order.
"I thought about it," said Prince Taki. "It is really difficult. There are several solutions that need to be discussed with you."
"How many people know about this matter?" Jiang Heng said naturally, knowing what he was referring to, how to clear his grievances for Shan Ze.
Jiang Heng already likes Prince Taki quite a bit. Compared with Juicong, he has a very different thing, namely, "humility". He has a juicy arrogance, perhaps because everyone around him is smarter than him, and he is used to expressing sincere recognition and respect for others.
"The East Palace has a secret," Geng Shu said casually, "I must know it all now."
Prince Taki was surprised. Geng Shu had always expressed any opinion about the East Palace, as if he didn't care about anything.
Prince Taki shook his head and pondered for a moment: "There must be a reason to pardon Shanze. I know how my father's attitude towards this is, but I also want to make the Wei family bounce back too much. The Wei family is also the leader."
"This idea is very good." Jiang Heng said with admiration, and at the same time he knew that they had executed the first act and then acted.
Geng Shu said: "You have to arrange it properly and pretend that everything is well-intentioned. From the beginning of rescuing Shanze, you have to follow the East Palace's plan. Even if there is, you have to make it like this, so that people can see that you are impulsive."
Prince Taki and Geng Shu are very aware of Juicong's character. If Prince Taki shows that he has arranged everything, even if Juicong is full, it will disappear quickly. Suppose he was in a daze, and he didn't even think about what to do next, and when he got up and knew it, Juicong would be angry on the spot and chopped Shan Ze.
Prince Taki said: "Father called me over, I have successfully convinced him to believe this, but what should I do next? Heng Er, listen to me, what I think... inform the heirs of all the clans, Summon them to the East Palace."
Jiang Heng suddenly showed a look of approval and smiled: "It's a good job!"
Geng Shu: "?"
Jiang Heng smiled and explained: "Let them serve under your command, listen to their voices, reuse their skills, and let Shan Ze and others contribute to Yong Yong, mainly to appease them with tenderness, and detain them by the way. Hostages of all races. In this way, all problems will be solved."
Geng Shu looked up at Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng picked up the memorial in his hand and showed it to Prince Taki.
"I also said this, I think my father is so easy to accept." Prince Taki said.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll come forward and talk." Jiang Heng said, "This is the implementation details, my responsibility, he wants to solve his worries, and go to war with the south, this is the best way to do it."
"Okay." Prince Taki got up and said, "I have to go back and think about it. If Lu Ji objects, how should we squeeze him? No matter what my father says, I will give in."
