Qiao Rong went to the iron fence and handed in the prepared clothes. You Miao took out the key given by the jailer, opened the door of the cell, and let Qiao Rong go in. Qiao Rong set out the food and said with a faint smile, "I'm here to accompany Lord Nie. drink wine."
"Hahaha." Nie Dan laughed instead and said with a smile, "Come on, drink."
You Miao was leaning against the fence, Nie Dan looked at You Miao and said, "You too, come and drink, fourth brother, only talk about Fengyue, not about state affairs. Today's eldest brother is still your eldest brother."
You Miao said: "I can't drink it, you two should drink it."
Said that Bi Youmiao went to the front of the corridor to talk to Tu Risheng. Tu Risheng smiled and said, "That one over there is General Nie, the God of War?"
"Yeah." You Miao smiled and said, "It's better to meet each other than to be famous?"
Tu Risheng smiled and said, "It's true."
You Miao said, "How have you been recently?"
Tu Risheng regretted: "It's boring, I just hope someone will talk. Master You, you didn't keep your promise."
You Miao said, "Why didn't I keep my promise? I only said that I could save your life, but I didn't say anything else."
Tu Risheng let out a sigh of relief, turned his head, and asked, "I've been locked up for a year, do you think I still have a chance to go out?"
You Miao said: "Wait, wait for the world's amnesty, maybe there is a chance."
"I don't see it." Tu Risheng said, "How's it going outside?"
You Miao said: "Everyone has fields to grow and food to eat."
Tu Risheng: "You can't lie to me."
You Miao: "My Baba made a special trip to the Heavenly Prison to lie to you?"
Tu Risheng thought for a moment and smiled, and replied, "Yes, it is said that His Majesty is the Son of Heaven today, and he didn't even kill me, which shows that he is sympathetic to public opinion."
You Miao sighed, thinking of all kinds of Zhao Chao, but did not answer. After a while, Qiao Rong came over and said to Youmiao, "Your eldest brother asked you to come over for a drink."
You Miao asked with her eyes, Qiao Rong nodded slightly, indicating that he was at ease, You Miao got up and walked over, and Nie Dan poured You Miao wine.
"Your sister said it." Nie Dan said, "Just have a drink, fourth brother."
You Miao said: "Brother, you can't be stubborn, the people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the least."
Nie Dan smiled bitterly, the two drank it all in one go, Nie Dan waved his hand, and was speechless for a while, the wine was so strong, and You Miao's throat was burning after drinking it.
"If the Hu people invade the south in the future." You Miao murmured, "Brother, you still have to fight, you can't just sit back and ignore it."
Nie Dan pondered silently and sighed.
"I thought I would spend the rest of my life here." Nie Dan's deep, powerful voice echoed in the prison: "But now the eldest brother feels unwilling. Do you blame the eldest brother for hurting you, the second brother and the third brother?"
You Miao was stunned, unable to speak for a long time, her nose was sore, and she choked up: "How come? I never blame you."
Nie Dan sighed: "The matter is now out of your control, and you don't have to blame yourself. Even if Sun Shenzhi, who has been a god-like enemy all his life and has been fighting every step of the way, there will be times when he can't control it, and the manpower will eventually be exhausted. Third brother On the day of your enthronement, you wrote a letter to him very well. You are afraid of the sky above and the people below. Not only is he wearing a yellow robe, but he is the honorable person of the Nine-Five. in this way."
You Miao nodded silently, knowing that Nie Dan was also persuading him. Since it has come to such a point, Nie Dan and Zhao Chao are naturally undefeated, and no one will be righteous with a person who kills his brother and kills his father, whether it is the emperor or a beggar, it has nothing to do with his status.
At that moment, You Miao also felt disheartened.
"Brother take care." You Miao said: "I'm back, I'll see you another day."
"Don't come to see me again." Nie Dan said in a very low voice, "And don't bother the ministers to plead for me. Over time, he will definitely launch a purge of the imperial court. These things, these people, he will keep them in his heart. You If you want to protect yourself and your second brother, just listen to the elder brother, show weakness and go home."
"Hidden and bide your time." Nie Dan said, "Ming Zhe protects himself, the current situation is no longer in your hands. Remember."
You Miao's heart moved, her expression complicated and unspeakable, and she looked at Nie Dan.
After leaving the Heavenly Prison that day, You Miao went to the Imperial Forest Barracks to return the waist card. Tang Hui asked, "What did General Nie say?"
"I didn't say it." You Miao said, "Let's not jointly sign a letter to intercede for him."
Tang Hui nodded slowly and said, "He did it willingly. The longer he stayed in prison, the harder it would be for His Majesty to explain to the ministers..." Tang Hui sighed and added, "Each has its own difficulties."
You Miao returned to the Political Office, tossed and turned that night, and lay on the bunk all night, thinking about Zhao Chao's words. At this moment, he was already disheartened and didn't want to go on like this anymore. Nie Dan's words when he mentioned his righteousness reminded You Miao of his past life—everything seemed like a different world. That year, he was comfortable and happy in the villa, and he became brothers with the heroic Nie Dan, the laughing Zhao Chao, and the Li Zhifeng who smiled for the first time in his life.
But now, it has become such a scene.
Just as I was recalling, I heard a message from the palace servants outside: "Your Majesty, please come to the palace."
Mu Feng outside the door said, "My master has fallen asleep. He has been ill these days and cannot enter the palace."
If it was really a seventh-rank official of the prime minister's concierge, the palace people did not dare to offend Mu Feng, so they had to leave.
After thinking about it, You Miao made up her mind to resign from office tomorrow and go back to the villa to wait for Li Zhifeng's return. I don't want to clean up such a mess for Zhao Chao anymore. Maybe if you go by yourself, you can save each other a little trouble. Otherwise, at the end of the trouble, it will be like Nie Dan's appearance, but it will only be unpleasant.
Sometimes, as soon as an impulse arises, it will be irresistible to make one want to put it into practice. As soon as the idea of resignation appeared, even nine horses could not pull it back. It was originally for the promise with Nie Dan, for the new dynasty was established, and when the storm was precarious, You Miao took over this heavy burden.
But now, seeing that Zhao Chao already has his own ideas, You Miao is so happy to give up, saying that he is the mainstay, but even the God of War who guards the country can be imprisoned. Seriously, it is the same without anyone. of. Not everyone has lived the same way.
As for Li Zhifeng, if he was willing to lead troops, he would still lead troops in Yangzhou. Anyway, it was agreed in the peace talks with the Tartars that he would not need to send troops to fight for at least three or five years. Li Zhifeng's position is only an idle job, and he can go home completely, and the two of them have a small life.
You Miao gradually fell asleep, thinking over and over in his mind, thinking about his villa, and he didn't know what to do over the years. He gradually became obsessed with the life in the villa.
There was another knock at the door.
This time Mu Feng didn't say a word, Zhao Chao said in a low voice, "You Ziqian, I'll come in and talk to you."
You Miao woke up suddenly, with cold sweat on her back.
Zhao Chao pushed open the door and entered, You Miao immediately got up and was about to light the lamp, but Zhao Chao grabbed her wrist.
"Sit down." There was majesty in Zhao Chao's voice, and You Miao felt uneasy in her heart, realizing that if Zhao Chao wanted to be rough, he would not be able to beat him... I had never encountered such a situation before. I just don't know what Zhao Chao is going to say. Listening to his tone in the dark night, he is probably angry.
Originally, the most righteous one should be You Miao, but when Zhao Chao appeared like this, his aura was timid by three points.
You Miao thought again and again, and said lightly, "Your Majesty, please speak."
Zhao Chao sighed and said, "You're angry, aren't you?"
You Miao: "I dare not."
