Wishful Things

The father and son of Zhaizhai Nie were also there. Seeing her in a manly attire, they couldn't help being a little surprised. They all stood up and bowed their hands: "Miss Xu is back."

I heard that the little girl went to Qianzhou.

After hearing about this, Village Master Nie was very puzzled—couldn't the words he said that night attract this little girl instead?

"You kid, you didn't say hello, and you ran away without saying a word! Are you trying to kill grandfather on purpose?" Zhen Guogong looked at the man from head to toe to make sure that he was not injured. Only then complained.

Qin Wu who was on the side also said: "During the half month that the girl is away, the general has to eat several bowls of rice every day!"

Xu Mingyi looked at the old man who really lost a lot of weight: "The granddaughter is unfilial, and my grandfather is worried."

She made it easy for her to go out this time, but it relieved her grandfather a lot.

But she reckoned that what she was going to do next would only make the old man more worried——

Zhen Guozheng wanted to say something more, but he heard the girl speak from the front: "Grandfather, I have something to discuss with you."

Why do you have something to discuss when you come back?

Is it related to this trip to Qianzhou?

Lord Zhen looked at his granddaughter who hadn't changed her robe yet, and said, "Sit down and drink some water first."

Xu Mingyi nodded.

I have to talk to my grandfather slowly, otherwise the old man may not agree.

"Then Nie won't disturb the general and the girl's discussion." Village Master Nie raised his hand in a salute and left in a timely manner.

The young man beside him also saluted.

Lord Zhen Guo nodded: "Invite Village Master Nie to talk in the evening, Qin Wu, send Village Master Nie off."

"yes."

After Qin Wu sent the father and son of Zhaizhai Nie out of the camp, he stayed outside the tent.

"It's time for breakfast? Do you want to ask Qin Wu to send some?" Inside the tent, Zhen Guogong asked the girl if she was hungry. The conditions in the military camp were limited, and there were no snacks and fruits, but there was enough food.

"No need, I used it on the road." Xu Mingyi sat behind the desk and warmed his hands with a cup of hot tea. As the winter moon entered, Linyuan City was getting colder and colder.

"Why do you suddenly want to go to Qianzhou?" Duke Zhen asked.

When he woke up half a month ago, he heard that his granddaughter had left the city. He left a message saying that he was going to Qianzhou, but he didn't say what he was going to do.

"It's not that I have to go to Qianzhou, I just want to see with my own eyes what the outside looks like now."

Zhen Guogong then asked: "Is there any discrepancy between the news from the same inquiry?"

"It's even worse." Xu Mingyi's voice was very soft, but his tone was heavy: "Especially in Qianzhou, cannibalism has happened."

Lord Zhen's mood sank when he heard this.

He is a person who has experienced the real troubled times. He has seen all kinds of terrible things with his own eyes. Cannibalism is no stranger to him, but every time he thinks about it, he still feels chills in his heart.

Especially at the moment when it is just the beginning, and the war has not yet fully erupted, such things have already happened.

There is no doubt that this is the dereliction of duty of the current court.

The advent of a chaotic incident easily exposed the corruption accumulated by the imperial court over the years.

The current situation is deteriorating faster than he expected.

Nowadays, the common people are just suffering, and if they hold on, most of them can still survive... After the real chaos in the future, that is the purgatory on earth.

Xu Mingyi said: "Grandfather, we can't go on like this."

After a moment of silence, Lord Zhen sighed.

He has been paying attention to the situation outside, the situation around him, and the actions of the court. It is not difficult to see that the court is playing regardless, and would rather injure himself a thousand than hurt the enemy eight hundred——

What is the loss?

Of course it is the people.

Duke Zhen was in a complicated mood: "The only way is to end the war as soon as possible."

This can be said to control chaos with chaos. He hates wars, especially civil wars of the same clan, but he has to fight, and he needs to fight as soon as possible.

If you don't fight, can you still expect the court to admit surrender?

"I'm afraid it won't be soon." Xu Mingyi said: "The emperor made it clear that no matter the cost, the edicts spread to various places stated that those who dared to surrender, regardless of their official positions, would kill the nine clans... In this way, the guards of the cities I have to stick to it and resist, every time His Royal Highness King Yan passes through, there will be mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the city."

Not only can it not be fast, but it also makes this war devoid of humanity.

There is also a moral bottom line on the battlefield. Except for natural killers, no one wants to fight such a battle.

Even though the three families of Yan, Xu and Wu all have magic soldiers in their hands, the soldiers and horses of the Daqing territory are here, even if all other variables are removed, they just hold on and resist, at least they can last for several years.

After a few years, what kind of dilapidated world will it look like?

Is it destined to be like the previous life?

The mountains and rivers are shattered, the etiquette collapsed, and all kinds of alien races have to take the opportunity to get a share——

"Zhao Zhao." Lord Zhen Guo looked at the girl sitting there, and asked seriously, "What do you think?"

The child said this to him, as if he was laying the groundwork for something.

Xu Mingyi nodded and said, "Grandfather, I want to go to Beijing."

"Going to Beijing..." Duke Zhen was slightly startled, and frowned, "Why are you going to Beijing?"

It was extremely difficult to escape from the capital, how could this child go back?

"Grandfather, do you still remember the deal I made with Ji Shangshu? He once promised me that as long as Xia Tingzhen died, he would tell the truth about the death of the late emperor."

She had told her grandfather about this matter, and in order to ensure a complete consensus, there was never any concealment between her and her grandfather.

"Remember." Zhen Guogong frowned: "Ji Xiu, Xia Tingzhen died a long time ago, and I haven't seen him stand up and say a word. He is still working hard for the emperor in the capital!"

"Ji Shangshu should also be waiting for the opportunity." Xu Mingyi said: "The situation has not yet come, and he is alone in the capital. If he speaks rashly, where will he speak? And I am afraid that if he opens his mouth, he will be silenced. Even if I promised him at the beginning, I would try my best to keep Miss Ji, but now we are far away in Linyuan, and we can't keep our promise, so it's only natural for him to have concerns."

"So, the granddaughter needs to meet him secretly to discuss countermeasures."

Duke Zhen felt unreliable when he heard this: "No, you two alone are not enough to make things happen."

Of course, he definitely didn't mean that he was not good enough. His granddaughter was very capable, but Ji Xiu was a real trash and a scumbag!

He doesn't worry about letting his granddaughter venture into Beijing to work with such a waste!

"Ji Shangshu and I alone are not enough." Xu Mingyi said: "In addition, I also need my grandfather, His Royal Highness Yan Wang, and Wu Chao to cooperate with me outside. The granddaughter has already thought about the specific plan, and I can write to you later. Discuss with His Royal Highness King Yan."

Duke Zhen was taken aback.

Have a plan?

"That won't work." The old man seemed particularly stubborn: "No matter how much we cooperate with you outside, the situation in the capital is unpredictable. If you are alone in the city, it will be too late to deal with any problems! Don't talk about other things, just talk about the discipline Xiu, if he turns his back on him and turns his back on him, it would be a good idea to take you to ask the emperor for credit!"

Xu Mingyi almost laughed when he heard that.

"What merit did he get for inviting me... If he dared to hand me over to the emperor, he would have exposed his own dissent. Why should the emperor kill him as well?"

How could this sound like something her wise and mighty grandfather could say?

"Besides, what do you think is our chance of winning if the fight continues like this?"

Duke Zhen didn't even think about it: "At least 80%!"

It's just a matter of time.

The decline of the world has already begun, and it cannot be stopped unless the king is changed and the blood is changed.

With the right time, place and people, they can always win!

So there is no reason to tell Zhaozhao to go to Beijing to take risks!

Little did he know that the little girl had a completely different perspective from him: "So, anyone who has a long-term perspective can see that our chances of winning are better——Ji Shangshu is not a fool, even if it is just to protect Miss Ji , how could he not know which side to stand on? Besides, there is one more thing."

Zhen Guogong felt a little edgy, but he could only listen.

"There is still a deep hatred between Ji Shangshu and the emperor. He lost his two sons back then. Although it was Xia Tingzhen's plan, in the final analysis, the vested interest is still the emperor, and the emperor is his real enemy. Help us. Avenge himself."

In fact, it is not difficult to find that even though Ji Xiu has faults and deficiencies, he attaches great importance to family affection.

He has nothing more than two wishes at the moment, one is to avenge his son, and the other is to keep his daughter.

And these two can only be realized at the same time by cooperating with the Xu family.

Therefore, she is still confident that she can persuade the other party.

At least it's worth a try.

Seeing that his grandfather was still hesitating, Xu Mingyi went on to say: "If the truth about the death of the late emperor can be announced to the public, the officials must reconsider whether the emperor is unworthy of virtue. To mobilize the world's soldiers and horses is nothing more than the word "imperial power". Because imperial power has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the officials and the people of the world, it cannot be shaken.

The authority of the emperor is here, and even though the officials are dissatisfied in every way, they cannot overcome it. But if there is a proper name, as long as the name is heavy enough, it is equivalent to giving officials the power to change the king-killing the father, treason, and improper position. There is no more serious crime in the world than this. "

If used properly, it is not impossible to pull the emperor off the dragon chair.

Once the imperial power is gone, no matter how much evil the emperor has, he will no longer be able to fulfill the current situation in the world, but can only be reduced to an incompetent and furious clown.

This is the only shortcut to stop losses in the world as much as possible.

"However, this matter is of great importance, Ji Xiu's words alone may not be able to convince the public..." Duke Zhen still could not be persuaded: "Even if he was a person who experienced the events of the year, his words are empty, who would Trust him completely?"

Maybe a crime of disobedience and lying will fall on his head, and maybe he will be chopped off with a knife.

"Yes, Ji Shangshu's testimony alone may not be enough. So after the granddaughter enters the city, she has to meet another person."

Someone else?

Zhen Guogong's eyebrows moved slightly: "Who is it?"

"Respect the Eldest Princess."
