A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 118

    “How about we make a big deal?”

      Do you feel guilty?”

    “Trust?” King Liang laughed as if he had heard something funny, “If she really trusted my uncle, she should have let me go when she was fighting the Turks. It’s not for you. Now that you have gained profits and become famous, you came to question me instead?”

& nbsp; “King Liang, I advise you one last time, you should focus on the overall situation. It is not easy for her to govern the country to what it is now, and now there are serious border problems, and all parties are eyeing them, but there have been several civil wars within the Xuan Dynasty, and now you are even more open. If you defect, aren’t you afraid of being taken advantage of by others? You just don’t think about Rong Ke, but also think about the land and mountains that the great ancestor finally conquered, the people of Dawn. “

    “I know peace is hard to come by.” King Liang said, “When I succeed to the throne, I will treat my subjects well.”

    Xiao Jingduo said coldly: “This is the reason why you, regardless of the overall situation, regardless of borders, the righteousness of monarchs and ministers, and brotherhood, went back on your word?”

    Liang Wang looked at Xiao Jingduo with an inquisitive expression: “I really want to know, what did Rong Ke promise you, so that you can follow her with all her might? If you are rich and rich, I can also give you, I can even make an oath here, as long as you cooperate with me inside and outside, and help me lay down Chang’an, I promise you the position of prime minister, even if you are named a prince, it doesn’t matter.”

    “You don’t need to talk about King Liang.” Xiao Jingduo looked at King Liang mockingly and smiled, “When I grow up, what do I do, I never need anyone else’s guidance.”

    “Why?” King Liang insisted on asking an answer. He had been curious about this question for a long time. He began to win over Xiao Jingduo two years ago, but to no avail. Although Xiao Jingduo has risen step by step, he is not charitable and ascending to the sky in one step. If Rong Ke uses prosperity, wealth and splendid future to win over Xiao Jingduo, let alone others, King Liang himself does not believe it.

    Liang Wang said: “I consider myself to be a sensible person. Although my scheming is not as good as Rong Ke’s, my overall situation is far better than hers. In this way, I am no worse than Rong Ke. On the contrary, I am the prince and the prince. At this time, I am in my prime, which is far behind Rong Ke. In general, I should be more reliable than Rong Ke. As long as I am a clear-eyed person, I should know who to go to. That’s right. You can clearly see the situation on the battlefield, why can’t you understand such an obvious situation? Follow this king and you will have a great future.”

    “This is just your opinion. The simplest truth is that if I defected to Rong Ke and then defected to Rong Ke, she would not have unreasonable suspicions, but you, King Liang, will definitely try to test in every way. Guess, even if I really promised King Liang just now, I’m afraid your promise will not be fulfilled after it is fulfilled.” Xiao Jingduo looked at King Liang and smiled, “King Liang, do you think this is true? Although Rong Ke is a female , but he is true to his word, and he will do what he says. After staying by her side for a long time, he will always respect her and admire her from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, those who do things for her, whether I or others, will not Do something bad for her.”

    “Even death?”

    “Even death.”

    “Hahaha.” Liang Wang laughed, although the laughter was still the same, but his eyes made people feel terrifying, “Then you will prove yourself by death. Fine wine, you heard about such a big thing, if you defected to me, since you still don’t know how to praise, how can I let you leave?”

    “King Liang.” Xiao Jingduo looked at King Liang with a smile on his lips, “I can’t get used to hearing such rebellious things, just turn your head and go out. You say, I Why do I have to talk to you so much?”

    There was a noise outside the tent, which had been silent, and it seemed that someone was coming, but was blocked outside. The visitor was in a hurry, and shouted in a loud voice: “Commander, the brothers in the army are still waiting for you to go back. When will His Royal Highness Prince Liang let you go?”

     King Liang glanced at the closed tent door, and when his eyes returned to Xiao Jingduo’s face, he was already very bad: “When you come, guard me?”

    “I can’t say the same. If King Liang doesn’t attack, my trick is to use the heart of a villain to beat a gentleman’s belly. It’s a pity that King Liang didn’t give me this opportunity.” Xiao Jingduo said Then, he took a step back and folded a fist at will: “King Liang, different ways do not conspire. I respect you as a hero on the battlefield, but after today, we can only be enemies.”

    “You are alone in my army now. If I give an order, I am afraid that you will be chopped into flesh before your army comes to rescue.”

    “Of course I know.” Xiao Jingduo said, “now there are four hundred of my elite soldiers outside the tent, and eight thousand people are stationed one mile away. These people are brought back from Tuyuhun by me, King Liang. You should have also understood that these people only listen to my orders. Even if you kill me, I am afraid that you will not be able to command. Also, there are still 400 of my confidants outside the door. If King Liang insists on pressing me, then we will fight to the death and the net will be broken. , it is not without the strength to fight back. What’s more, King Liang is only three steps away from me now.”

     King Liang’s dark eyes were fixed on Xiao Jingduo, the two fought silently, and the sound of breathing could be heard in the tent for a while. King Liang was fond of playing with knives and guns on weekdays, and Xiao Jingduo also stumbled and climbed out of the actual combat. Although the two only looked at each other, their arms under the armor were secretly charged.

    Xiao Jingduo and King Liang refused to speak first. At this time, the person who speaks first will lose first in popularity. The soldiers outside the tent hadn’t heard the sound for a long time, and gradually panicked in their hearts. They shouted in surprise, some called Governor Xiao, and some called His Royal Highness Prince Liang.

    After a while, King Liang was the first to speak: “I have nothing to do, all leave.”

    At such a close distance, King Liang dare not bet that he still cherishes his life more than his face. As soon as King Liang opened his mouth, the tension in the tent eased a lot.

    After King Liang retired from his subordinates, he lowered his voice and asked Xiao Jingduo: “You insist on doing this?”

    Xiao Jingduo didn’t answer, just stepped back slowly, then opened the curtain and went out.

    The light from the outside suddenly shone into the military tent. At this time, it was sunset, and the ground was full of slanting rays. The golden sunlight immediately wrapped Xiao Jingduo’s figure. The vision in the tent was dark, standing inside, only half of Xiao Jingduo’s figure could be seen, and the other half was dark.

    “Xiao Jingduo.” Xiao Jingduo had already stepped out of the tent, but King Liang’s voice was chasing from behind. King Liang’s voice was calm and calm, and when he listened carefully, there was still a little certainty like watching a good show: “You also know that Rong Ke is the most suspicious person. You say, after you leave me, will she really believe you?”

    The curtain was quickly lowered without any pause, and darkness returned to the tent. King Liang stood in the dark, without any dissatisfaction with being neglected at all, instead he laughed happily: “I knew it would be like this, even if I can’t recruit, it’s enough to divide you. Back to Beijing alone with an army of 8,000, Heh, what do you think Rong Ke would think?”

    Xiao Jingduo did not hesitate when he left King Liang’s tent, but when he was far away, anxiety appeared in his eyes. Before leaving, King Liang’s last words always gave him some bad premonitions.

    When he returned to the right army garrison, he hurriedly summoned Yin Xiaowei’s people, “How is your Highness in Beijing?”

    This team of Yin Xiaowei went out with him, and usually hid in the army, doing some spying on the military situation and inquiring about news, of course they didn’t know anything about Chang’an. Xiao Jingduo asked this, obviously to let them use channels to connect with people in Chang’an.

    Hearing Xiao Jingduo say this, these Yinxiaowei are very strange: “We will go back to Beijing immediately. At this time, it is not appropriate to take the risk to connect with Chang’an, right?”

    Xiao Jingduo of course knew the risk of doing so. The military is strictly disciplined and crowded, and it is easy to reveal a little action. But he pinched his eyebrows, still unable to ignore the strange feeling in his heart: “I don’t care about this much, just ask for peace of mind.”

    Yin Xiaowei was full of disapproval, but Yin Xiaowei was very strict, and the superior’s order was an iron order, so they had to take the order and leave. When it was late at night, only one person came back, and his face was quite ugly: “The right ambassador, it seems that something is wrong.”

    “What’s wrong?”

    “There was no one in the place where we agreed to relay the news. We left a mark, and we waited for a long time and no one came. This…”

    “There is no one in the place where the news is relayed…” Xiao Jingduo frowned and thought for a while, his eyes suddenly burst into a frightening light, “No, Chang’an has changed!”

    Only when an accident happened in Chang’an, Yin Xiaowei had to concentrate his manpower, which would waste the news points outside the capital. And what happened, so that all the Yin Xiaowei could be summoned, and even the exposure of the stronghold could not be taken care of?

    “You can’t be a right-hand man, and marching in a hurry near the capital is a taboo, and it will be misunderstood by the soldiers defending the city!”

    In addition to showing off the class division returning to the court, Chang’an does not allow soldiers with weapons to enter the city, and even stationed at ten miles away. If Xiao Jingduo rushes towards Chang’an with an army of 8,000 people, all the officials and prime ministers in Chang’an will not be allowed to blow up the pot, is this a rebellion or a rescue?

    Xiao Jingduo doesn’t listen at all now, but he also knows that this is the right thing to do. No matter how anxious he is, he can’t ignore it and make fun of this kind of thing. Xiao Jingduo clenched his fist tightly and forced himself to calm down: “The whole army is too slow to move, and it is easy to cause misunderstanding. Call the lieutenant and let him lead the army back to the city. I will go first with a team of elite guards.”

    “Your Highness, are you alright?” Mingyue called carefully. She followed Rongke out of the palace to the princess’ mansion today.

    Rong Ke was shot in the back by an arrow. When they were halfway through, they happened to meet Xin’an’s concubine, Rong Ke asked someone to stop and chat with her uncle, but who would have thought that the cold arrow behind her came from her aunt and uncle.

    “How’s it going outside?” Rong Ke asked vigorously. At that time, the distance was too close, and Xin’an’s concubine hid the **** in the sleeve. Even if Rong Ke reacted quickly and the guards around her saved her life, she was still shot. The arrows were fed with poison, the kind commonly used in the army with quick onset and strong paralysis. Seeing that the consort of Xin’an had not been killed, he immediately called in the ambush. After Rong Ke was hit by the arrow, he soon began to feel dizzy. At the same time, he had to deal with the endless pursuit, and his body couldn’t hold it any longer.

    “There are still many chasing soldiers, all of them are veterans.” Mingyue looked at Rong Ke worriedly, “Your Highness, is your injury serious?”

    “It’s fine.” Rong Ke said lightly. In fact, her wound was still bleeding, and she didn’t even take the arrow, how could it be all right? But at this juncture, even his life could not be saved, and there was nothing to worry about in pain.

    “Only the concubine alone, how can such a large-scale assassination be launched. Most of the pursuers behind are from the King of Liang?” Rong Ke’s tone was very mocking, “borrow and Jing Jiyan, I really keep being betrayed. In the past, it was just Xiang Hui, she is a foreigner after all, but this time it was my uncle and uncle who joined forces to make me die. It can make so many people remember, It’s worth it.”

    “Your Highness!” Mingyue wanted to persuade, but the words stopped again in her throat, and she could only sigh. The people outside were aggressive, making it clear that this was King Liang’s order and that Rong Ke must be killed. Xiang Hui is an outsider, and it is normal to have her own mind. He is the uncle and nephew of the Princess Jing and King Jiang An who are separated from each other. He has an old case and is not close to Rong Ke. But this time is different, Liang Wang, that is the uncle who watched Rong Ke grow up since he was a child. He often played with Rong Ke when he was a child, but now, he does the same!

     Betrayal by those close to you is especially difficult to accept.

    Liang Wang is young and strong, and he has a lot of followers behind him. He is different from Jiang An Wang. All Jiang An relies on the favor of the Queen Mother Wu, and there are not many real power and followers, but King Liang has actually been operating in the DPRK for almost ten years, and the gap between them is completely incomparable. King Liang was determined to take Rong Ke’s life, so he would have no leeway to attack, and these chasing soldiers were always going to the key points. Yin Xiaowei next to Rong Ke fell one by one. Even if these people tried to delay Rong Ke with their lives, they were still gradually caught up.

    In the impression, it seems like a long time, but in reality, they only walked half a street. The road back to the princess’ mansion has been blocked, and there are chasing soldiers behind, but Jin Wuwei, who is in charge of patrolling and public security, bypasses this street alone. What this means is already obvious.

    Mingyue helped Rong Ke to hide in an alley and called anxiously, “Your Highness, what should I do now?”
