The day before the Xiayuan Festival, Lu Ji personally came to the East Palace and was furious with thunder.
Regardless of the East Palace, I don't know what it will be like!
Tian Jiang Heng heard that Lu Ji was coming, so Shi Shiran was also present, and Geng Shu heard that he also came in person. Although he had never been a civilian, but his presence showed the attitude of the military.
Today, the East Palace under Tai's command has become a gathering place for the younger generation of Yongguo. Lu Ji was suddenly surprised to find that he was getting old.
"Mr. Lu." Everyone maintained their basic politeness, and nodded towards Lu Ji as a salute.
"Master Lu." Shi Shiran nodded, Jiang Heng was here now, and he was no longer afraid of Lu Ji. Zeng Rong couldn't quarrel with the right, and whenever there was a disagreement, the entire East Palace could only suffer from Lu Ji's reprimanded, but Jiang Heng was not afraid of him.
Zeng Rong was unaware of Jiang Heng's proposal, which made him very uncomfortable, but when he thought of Jiang Heng's return to court, all proposals were on the side of the Zeng family's interests, such as protecting Shanze. Maybe I had a relationship with my father, why would I want to come, after all, the East Palace is headed by him, and his own people must be protected.
Lu Ji snorted coldly, "What are you doing?"
Tai Taki replied: "I'm going to change, and I will present a draft for preliminary discussion today."
Lu Ji said coldly, "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Heng signaled to start, and everyone started from Zeng Rong, then Geng Shu, then Zhouyou and others, one by one, put forward their initial ideas and directions.
Jiang Heng took it seriously and recorded the outline of everyone's proposal. He didn't have time to fight with Lu Ji at this time.
At first, Lu Ji had the attitude of finding faults, but gradually, he began to become serious, and he clearly thought about every direction of change, and this young man actually wanted to smash and reorganize everything inherent in Dayong!
A drastic change that changed the face of , and all the changes, with extremely clear goals, all pointed to the same place, allowing Yong Guo to make adjustments in the shortest possible time and participate in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains.
"Prime Minister?" Tai Taki said politely.
Lu Ji rarely finished the journey without commenting.
"I'm getting old." Lu Ji suddenly sighed.
There was silence in the East Palace, Jiang Heng put down his pen.
Lu Ji originally had a lot of words to criticize Jiang Heng for his unrealistic thoughts, but after finishing it, it reminded him a lot of past events, but he was speechless.
"Just do what you think is right," Lu Ji said.
Jiang Heng had already responded to what Lu Ji did, but Lu Ji had changed his mind.
After the guests from the East Palace disperse, there will be a three-month interactive review time. Jiang Heng returned to the room with the scroll in his arms, but he ran into Lu Ji again on the way. Obviously, the right minister was always waiting for him on the way he had to pass.
"Mr. Lu." Jiang Heng smiled politely.
"Today, I said to China," Lu Ji said politely, "Everyone has their own perseverance, so you probably won't take it to heart."
"Naturally not." Jiang Heng laughed and replied.
Lu Ji said slowly, "This old man actually remembers that eighteen years ago, there was another person who was very similar to what you thought."
Jiang Heng didn't ask who it was, the Yong Kingdom was so big, it lasted for hundreds of years, and he was not the first person to speak.
"What happened to him later?" Jiang Heng chose another entry point.
"Later, he died." Lu Ji said, looking at Jiang Heng intently.
"People are always going to die." Jiang Heng laughed, the look in Lu Ji's eyes instantly made him startled.
"But the fire is passed down from generation to generation, and it is endless," Jiang Heng said. "What should be done should be done by someone, right?"
"That's right." Lu Ji suddenly changed his face and said solemnly, "But dead people can't do anything."
"Of course, but one can't be too afraid of death." Jiang Heng smiled and began to understand why the Queen Mother Jiang sent Jie Gui to protect him. After turning away, Lu Ji still stared at Jiang Heng's back and didn't leave for a long time.
"Who is he talking about?" Jiang Heng frowned, "Eighteen years ago?"
Geng Shu was eating lunch, his brows furrowed.
Jiang Heng asked, "What's wrong?"
"I have to go," Geng Shu replied, "the next morning of the next Yuan Festival."
"Ah?" Jiang Heng said in surprise, "How fast? Where are you going?"
Geng Shu said, "Song County."
Jiang Heng and Geng Shu looked at each other, knowing that Juicong still did not accept his proposal, he was unwilling to hand over the golden seal, and was going to send Geng Shu to detour to outflank the rear of the Allied Forces.
Geng Shu said, "What about you? Are you alone in the palace?"
Right now is the most important period of time, Jiang Henghun did not expect Juicy Cong to come, and he would not enter or retreat immediately. Regardless of Geng Shuba, he went to Song County to lead the army himself, and someone must accompany the army to advise him. Once he goes, what will happen to the East Palace
On the day of Xia Yuan Festival, Ju Cong summoned Jiang Heng in his study.
Jiang Heng felt that there were other people behind the screen, but he didn't say it or tried to change Juicong's decision. He learned from Tai Taki and Geng Shu that Juicong's people never tire of bothering him before making the decision. , Chen Heng pros and cons numerous times. But once he made a decision, it was useless for anyone to say anything.
"That's why His Majesty Wang decided to attack the Yubi Pass by storm," Jiang Heng said.
"Not bad." Juicong replied, "You've only been here for Luoyan for a short time, and you don't know much about the Lone King..."
"I understand." Jiang Heng said.
Juicong was interrupted by Jiang Heng, so he stopped talking. After a few breaths, he nodded and said, "Well, that's fine."
"I just want to remind His Majesty Wang," Jiang Heng said, "Zhao Ling's followers have penetrated into the north, and Sun Ying's presence in Haocheng is the best proof. We searched in many ways, but in the end we lost Sun Ying's When the whereabouts are, His Majesty Wang must be very careful when attacking Yubi Pass."
"The Lone King will pay attention." Juicong replied, "Then what about you?"
Jiang Heng knew that Juicong had made his own judgment, so he saw him alone and assigned him a task, instead of allowing him to provoke any authority of the monarch.
"Your Majesty the minister ordered me." Jiang Heng replied.
Juicong said: "Last night, the solitary king also spent a lot of time to let Juiciao go to Song County alone. The solitary king is not at ease. I want you to follow him on the expedition. The East Palace has changed, and I can't let it go."
Jiang Heng looked into Juicong's eyes and knew that people had always been his rivals, but until now, Juicong has not finished trusting him.
But he didn't know why, Juicong always held a sense of alienation towards him, maybe he still hated the original sword.
"However, state affairs will be difficult in the end." Ju Cong stood up, walked a few steps in the study, and said, "Right now, the most important thing for us is to regain the Jade Pass. We can only go to Song County with Juiciao and take over the army."
"." Jiang Heng did not refuse.
"As for the East Palace," said Juicong, "the right minister, Lu Ji, will supervise it personally. The part you are responsible for will be sent back to Luoyan Jie by means of a book transmission. Pay attention to the confidentiality of the letter. Gu Wang believes that you don't need much interactive review."
Jiang Heng said: "I am in charge of foreign affairs for foreigners, and my claims have been roughly clarified in the Pingbang Decree."
"You're a smart person." Juicong raised his eyebrows at Jiang Heng and said, "Go ahead, the success of the transformation led by Donggong also depends on your battle. Bento will bid farewell early."
Jiang Heng is very clear that what he needs most urgently, prestige, is to establish prestige and help Geng Shu obtain military exploits, then the opposition between the court and the public against the change will be easily resolved.
"Then, I wish His Majesty the King a victory." Jiang Heng saluted Juicong and said.
Jiang Heng didn't say anything superfluous, and after accepting Juicong's arrangement, Juicong was very surprised.
After Jiang Heng left, Wei Zhuo turned out from behind the screen.
"He didn't plead." Ju Cong frowned slightly and said.
Wei Zhuo said: "It is useless to argue."
Juicong was silent, Wei Zhuo said, "Many ministers are already discussing today..."
"What are you talking about?" Juicong said coldly, although he already knew the answer.
Wei Zhuo said: "Talking about him... I wonder if he read the archives of changes left by the king eighteen years ago..."
Juicong's face became more and more ugly, and Wei Zhuo stopped talking.
"How is your Assassin Guard training?" Juicong asked slowly.
Wei Zhuo said, "A total of 122 people will be dispatched by His Majesty the King at any time."
Juicong said: "Send someone to catch up, stay in the south, find an opportunity, take advantage of Juicong's inattentiveness, remember to disguise cleanly, and push it to Zhao Ling."
"." Wei Zhuo thought for a while, then said, "I can't let Jie Gui accompany him."
"I'm going to drive him away." Juicong replied, "It's a pity, a good minister, he just gave in the wrong child. Beware of the eagle with Juicy."

In the evening of day, Ju Cong issued an amnesty order, allowing Shan Ze to temporarily stay in the East Palace in the name of the Di clan. The rebellion three years ago had another inside story to be found out.
When Jiang Heng knew the order, he knew that Juicong had his own plans. He sent him out of Luoyan on the pretext of war, away from the center of power, and sent Lu Ji back to the East Palace to supervise and change the details, so that everything was up to him. development under control.
In the end, a small concession was made to allow Shan Ze to stay behind on guilt to appease his relatives.
"Your father is a powerful character." Jiang Heng and Geng Shu went to the sandbar outside the city to set up lights as promised.
"I'm rather happy." Geng Shu said, "Juicy didn't come out?"
Jiang Heng said: "He will be here later. What are you happy about?"
Geng Shu smiled rarely and said, "Leave Luoyan, it's just me and you."
Jiang Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and found that Geng Shu hadn't been really happy for a while, and often frowned, because they had too many things to deal with. Sometimes they don't even use the food in one place, and they are in a hurry every day. Jiang Heng has to review the details of the change. In addition to holding a military meeting, Geng Shu also has to make proposals for the change in the military.
Some endless work, after Jiang Heng found it for him, Geng Shu's task was even more arduous, and he didn't even have time to practice martial arts and instruct the soldiers' martial arts. But he never complained, instead he wondered if he could ease Jiang Heng's burden.
Jiang Heng often stayed in the East Palace until midnight. When he returned to his room, he saw that Geng Shu was still lighting the lamp, and he carefully wrote down his plan for governing the army.
Jiang Heng often felt that whether it was a juicy Cong or a juicy taki, although he was a royal family, he never got the true loyalty of his subordinates.
And only he, Jiang Heng, lived more like a god-he had at least one courtier who was sincerely convinced, that was Geng Shu. Whatever he said, Geng Shu would do it without any doubt, and his trust in him was almost blind.
"Have you made paper lanterns?" Jiang Heng was very annoying today, but he didn't want to sue Geng Shu about his adoptive father.
"Of course." Geng Shu said, "I don't have time to do it myself, but I ordered the soldiers to do it for us. I will never forget what you told me, you see?"
Geng Shu took out a stack of paper lanterns and wrote the names of Wei Po, Xiang Zhou, Mrs. Zhao, Ji Xun, and Zhao Jie.
The two rode their horses to the bank of the sandbar. At night, Geng Shu and Jiang Heng got together and lit paper lanterns.
"Heng'er." Geng Shu said suddenly.
Jiang Heng's brows were still slightly twisted. What Juicong said today made him very mindful. He still treated him with a wary look. Jiang Heng could not have imagined that after so long, Juicong would still remember the sword that stabbed him in the first place. .
Jiang Heng turned his head and looked at Geng Shu.
Geng Shu held his hand, as if thinking, and after a long, long time, he said, "I don't know... I don't know how to say it. You came to Yongguo for me, and worked day and night for Yongguo... I... a little bit. Suffering."
Jiang Heng laughed, and the two faced the flying lanterns in the sky.
Geng Shu said the next sentence, "I don't know how much it will cost you and how tired you will be."
He knew that... Jiang Heng didn't know why, but he felt a little nervous and moved in his heart. For a few days, although he didn't say a word, Geng Shu saw it in his eyes, but he felt it.
"I'm sorry, Heng'er." Geng Shu was a little sad, showing a bewildered look.
Jiang Heng pulled him slightly closer to him, but Geng Shu turned around and hugged him in his arms.
"Brother, don't act like that." Jiang Heng was a little embarrassed. There were many lovers on both sides of the sandbar snuggling together. It felt strange that Geng Shu was holding him.
Geng Shu never let go of him and said, "Heng'er, I..."
At this moment, Jiang Heng suddenly saw Jie Gui not far away.
Jiang Heng hurriedly asked Geng Shu to let him go, Jie Gui walked slowly along the river bank, and put down a lamp on the river bank with a word written on it: Lang.
"Excuse you for a while," Jie Gui said, "Your Majesty is going to fight at Yubi Pass."
"I know." Geng Shu was disturbed, his tone was not very good, and he frowned, "So what?"
Jie Gui said: "The queen mother asked me to stay and protect the royal family so that no one else would come to assassinate."
Jiang Heng said, "It's reasonable, you don't have to accompany us to Song County."
Jie Gui nodded solemnly, raised his eyebrows, and said to Jiang Heng, "Little Taishi, come back alive, otherwise I will be very boring."
Jiang Heng laughed, and Geng Shu held Jiang Heng in one hand and said, "I will protect him."
Jiang Heng suddenly felt a move in his heart and said, "Eighteen years ago, didn't you try to change yourself?"
Jie Gui's expression changed, he looked at Jiang Heng, and after a long, long time, he nodded.
"It's good to be yourself." Jie Gui said.
"Brother!" Tai Taki was surrounded by the guards, and the surrounding ordinary people spontaneously made room for them.
Geng Shu gave Tai Taki a rare smile, maybe tomorrow he will go to a happy life, and his mood has improved a lot.
"You two are gone," Tai Taki sighed, "I was left alone, I didn't expect it."
Jiang Heng approached Tai Taki's ear and whispered a few words. Tai Taki's eyes widened, looking at Jiang Heng suspiciously, and then under Jiang Heng's expectant eyes, he reluctantly nodded.
"Be careful." Jiang Heng said.
"You too," said Taitaki, "be careful."
In the middle of the night, someone set up a wave of flying lights, and the lights were like a road leading to the sky, forming a vast galaxy. The Milky Way illuminated the night sky, stretching to the other end of the city, the end of the deep darkness.
When the sun rose, Jiang Heng and Geng Shu went into battle lightly, riding their horses around the Yubi Pass, along the perilous mountains, crossed the ancient road, entered Songlinpo, and headed to the Central Plains.
Geng Shu released Haidongqing, and Fengyu hovered in the sky to show that there was no danger around.
When passing the border between Liang and Luoyang, Geng Shu glanced east.
"Want to go back?" Jiang Heng has not gone back since he left his hometown of Xundong many years ago.
"Forget it." Geng Shu replied after hearing a lot of news about Xundong in the past few years, "I will go back one day sooner or later, so don't worry now."
