Hello Chang’an

Wang Yue sighed in his heart and couldn't help but sigh: "Your Excellency, you always have the overall situation in mind..."

Chang Kuo, who was sitting next to him, stroking his beard, said modestly at first, but in fact he was not modest at all: "It's just like this all the time, it's not worth mentioning."

The more he thought about His Highness's actions of killing the imperial envoys and tampering with the Holy Will, the more he felt that His Highness was being too considerate.

Is His Royal Highness the person who really needs this tampered edict?

His Highness's change of the imperial edict will undoubtedly avoid a lot of interceptions with weapons. But if a fight really breaks out, how can those people stop Jiangdu's army? It's just adding unnecessary casualties.

And at a time when Luoyang has been lost and cannot be recovered, if news comes that the Huainan Dao Jiedu envoys openly rebelled, it will definitely shock people's hearts again.

In short, His Highness's actions not only took the overall situation into consideration, thoughtfully buffered the shock amplitude, but also gave the saint and the court face to a certain extent. He was "complying with the decree" on the surface, but wasn't it enough to give him face? If this is not enough, what else can you do?

Obviously, Chang Kuo's understanding of "giving enough face" is somewhat unconventional.

Ge Yin Changkuo had his own set of fallacies - Your Highness has thought so carefully, so what if he just rebelled? Didn't he say that with such a considerate and rebellious minister, the court should just enjoy it secretly!

What is obvious is that there are not a few people in this outer study who also believe in Chang Kuo's fallacy.

Seeing this, Wang Changshi once wondered if his master was good at some witchcraft that deceives people's hearts... Otherwise, how could someone be praised for being a rebel?

What's more terrible is that he already feels that this trend is not normal, but he still joins the team of praises - there is no way, sir, she is very easy to praise.

Luo Guanlin didn't say anything. He was not used to echoing his words at this time. It would be considered as flattering.

But in terms of whether he agrees or not, he agrees to some extent.

He knew that Chang Suining chose to lead her troops to Luoyang in an "obeying the order" way, although it was also to reduce resistance to Jiangdu's army, but it could indeed be seen from this that she acted thoughtfully and always had the overall situation in mind.

This seems to be a kind of ethics engraved in the bones, just like the meticulous intention of not damaging even an inch of farmland even if thousands of troops are raised.

She was always decisive in her actions, and even showed flamboyance in the eyes of the world. However, her decisiveness, flamboyance and good fighting skills were never used to start a war.

In her case, looking at the entire Dasheng, it seems that she has no real enemies. What she cares about is the entire Dasheng river and her subordinates.

This caring heart...even if she is just pretending, it is admirable enough and a blessing to the people.

Luo Guanlin was so immersed in this touched mood that he couldn't even listen carefully to what Wang Changshi and others discussed with Chang Kuo.

After a while, Luo Guanlin raised his eyes slightly and looked at Chang Kuo who was sitting there, and an idea gradually gathered in his heart.

At this time, the door of the study room was pushed open by the guard from the outside, and a cyan figure walked in.

Everyone in the study stopped talking, turned to look, and then stood up to greet him.

Changsui Ning had been in the army for more than five days. He returned home for the first time today. He first drew his sword and killed the **** who had delivered the order, and then ordered the troops to move to Luoyang -

However, after making these major moves one after another, there was no change in her expression at this moment. She just walked into the study as usual, sat down at the top, and motioned for everyone to sit down, before speaking: " I will be away from Jiangdu for a while, and I will have to worry about the affairs of Jiangdu and Huainan Road for a while."

The tone was so normal that it seemed like she was just going out to visit relatives or go on an outing.

And her subsequent explanation to everyone was also very simple.

Chang Suining has made a lot of preparations for this deployment of troops, and all aspects are ready, so he can set off immediately as soon as he "receives the order."

Moreover, Jiangdu now has a mature system in operation, which does not require Chang Suining to be around all the time, and Chang Suining also trusts the people she uses.

But in Luo Guanlin's view, if we look deeper into Chang Suining's trust, it fundamentally stems from her self-confidence.

Because of self-confidence, I believe in my own vision and methods of controlling people.

From Chang Suining's experience, Luo Guanlin came to the conclusion that those who truly trust others must be confident enough.

To this day, faced with this ability to control things with ease, Luo Guanlin still often feels puzzled as to why such an ability appears in a little girl.

Now he is only puzzled, and no longer has that unspeakable unwillingness... In the past, he was extremely unwilling to accept such an ability, why did it not come to the children of the Li family.

At this moment, Chang Suining's simple explanation only included two things.

First, she thought it was time to add some more people to the study room. In recent days, many people with outstanding abilities have emerged in the first seven halls. Wang Changshi already had a list of candidates that he had been examining for a long time.

The outer study room of Jiangdu Governor's Office is regarded as a sacred place by Jiangdu officials. It is precisely because those who can work here mean that they can directly touch the most confidential government affairs of the entire Huainan Road. In addition, this is also This is the best way to become the confidant of Huainan Road Jiedu Envoy.

Therefore, this place is simply a holy place for enlightenment in the eyes of Jiangdu officials.

However, there has been no sign of adding more people to this holy land, and many officials have also made inquisitive inquiries, but they have found nothing.

This time Chang Suining personally asked for more manpower, which was undoubtedly good news that made people extremely surprised.

With Chang Suining leaving, the affairs of Huainan Road will only increase rather than decrease, and Chang Suining will need more trustworthy confidants in the future. This move is equivalent to cultivating close talents in advance.

Chang Suining handed over the matter to Wang Changshi and asked Yao Ran to screen and check.

The second thing was that Chang Suining handed over the decision-making power of major events in Huainan Road to Chang Kuo in front of everyone. On weekdays, Wang Yue was responsible for communicating with Chang Kuo.

This was a precedent that had never happened before when Chang Suining left Jiangdu, but this time the situation was different. How long Chang Suining could hide his tampering with the imperial edict all depended on the consideration of the saint -

Chang Sui Ning's heart will soon be exposed, and Huainan Road may face military pressure from various places, which will require Chang Kuo to take charge of decision-making.

After Chang Suining roughly arranged these two matters, Yao Ran and others made additional remarks.

Everyone's arrangements are in order, but there are huge waves shaking in everyone's heart. They all know that what they are doing at this time, as well as the situation they need to face next, are unprecedented.

In the afternoon, Chang Suining left the study, followed by Yao Ran.

"A Ran, you need to stay for me." Chang Suining said to Yao Ran: "Next, the Jiangdu governor's house cannot be without you."

Today's Yao Ran is not only capable enough to govern, but her existence also represents a certain direction and example - there needs to be at least one such female official in the outer study of Jiangdu Governor's Mansion.

Yao Ran knew the significance of his responsibility, and nodded solemnly at this moment: "Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely do everything in my duty."

Yao Ran secretly wanted to accompany him, but at the same time, she also knew that she was better at handling local government affairs than war strategies, and the Lord needed a military advisor who was good at making decisions.

At this time, Yao Ran thought again and again, and still reminded: "Although there are some outstanding counselors in your army, you are not very familiar with them, and there is still one less truly trustworthy person to take charge." them."

Chang Suining nodded and looked at Yao Ran with some relief: "That's right."

Now Yao Ran also knows how to employ people and check and balance.

Chang Suining really needs such a person, and she already has a candidate in mind.

The sky, which had been gloomy all day, turned a bit sunny as dusk approached, dyeing half of the sky with a dazzling golden light.

Chang Suining personally went to Luo Guanlin's residence. Under the old jujube tree, he asked, "I'm going to Luoyang. Would you like to go with me, sir?"

The golden sunset was intense, and Luo Guanlin felt dazed for a moment.

Once, before Xu Zhengye left Jiangdu, he also asked him if he would go with him. He declined and chose to stay in Jiangdu. This move at that time meant that he and Xu Zhengye had separated.

At this moment, he did not nod, but asked: "My lord, what do you want to do here?"

Chang Suining looked at the setting sun in the sky, his expression was calm, and his voice was not high-pitched: "It is time to stop the turmoil and injustice and build a legacy that will last forever."

"My lord, why do people set up injustices, and why do people build indomitable deeds?"

Chang Sui Ning turned his head slightly and looked at Luo Guanlin with a calm look in his eyes: "This image is destined for all the people in the world, and this career is built for me, Chang Sui Ning."

Meeting those eyes, Luo Guanlin's heart was slightly shaken, knowing that she was speaking out about her ambition.

He still remembered that when they were drinking together under this jujube tree, she had told him that she was willing to support the Li family's children - but at this moment, facing her going back on her word, Luo Guanlin had no intention of questioning him.

If he cares about her repentance, it means that he still wholeheartedly cares about the children of the Li family.

And on the contrary…

Luo Guanlin suddenly sighed heavily in his heart.

He originally planned to at least ask her why she wanted to deceive him with lies, but at this time he was not ready to ask anymore.

It is her skill to "coax" him to achieve great things.

And Luo Guanlin thought of his mother's fallacy: "If adults are willing to spend their time "coaxing" you, doesn't that mean they value you? Don't be so good as to get a bargain! 】

Luo Guanlin smiled complicatedly in his heart. To this day, he actually agreed with his mother's fallacy.

Seeing that Luo Guanlin didn't answer for a long time, Chang Sui Ning smiled slightly and said, "Sir, you can think about it all night. It won't be too late to give me an answer when you leave tomorrow morning."

Luo Guanlin came back to his senses, but turned his feet slightly and faced Chang Sui Ning. He raised his hands and bowed deeply in the sunset, and said clearly: "Qian is willing to devote his whole life to your lord until he dies."

His words of "I will die before I die" are not only for this trip to Luoyang, but will also be the same in the future.

There was a brief silence in the courtyard. Luo's wife Liu, who was in the corridor, quietly watched this scene, her eyes wet for some reason.

"The troops are about to be launched. There is no word of death." Chang Suining raised his hand to support Luo Guanlin's elbow, which was being pressed down, and said with a smile: "I want my husband to live and come with me to see the image of peace one day."

When Luo Guanlin straightened up, the corners of his eyes were already reddish. When he saw the light in his eyes, he felt that a thousands-mile breeze born from the harmony of heaven and earth fell in his heart, blowing away all the stagnant haze for him.

Mrs. Liu then hurried back to her room and packed her husband's luggage.

When she crossed the threshold, Mrs. Liu happily wiped the tears from her eyes, and thought that she had to prepare a bottle of good wine. It is inconvenient for people to drink before going out. The wine was prepared for her mother-in-law... If her mother-in-law knew The stinky stone at home has become enlightened, I don’t know how happy I am!

In the courtyard, Chang Suining chatted with Luo Guanlin for a few more words.

Luo Guanlin didn't have much in mind to chat. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "I have something I want to take the liberty of reminding you."

Seeing his serious expression, Chang Sui Ning also said seriously: "Sir, please speak."

"If you want to achieve great things, you should be prepared for some things early." Luo Guanlin said: "Zhongyong Hou is certainly a kind man, but he has another son... I think it is not a bad thing for you to be more careful."

Chang Suining blinked.

Luo Guanlin's expression was still solemn: "My lord, please don't think that I am deliberately instigating or making alarmist remarks. This kind of thing has always happened all the time..."

He admitted that he had changed.

When he recruited Wang Yue to join the group, he had told Wang Yue that even if Chang Sui Ning was ambitious, there was nothing to fear, because she still had her father and brother above her who could dissuade and suppress her...

Now, he in turn reminds the ambitious Chang Sui Ning to beware of her father and brother stealing power...

Luo Guanlin felt that it was appropriate to change his name, otherwise he would not have been able to imagine that today's Qian Shen could be the same person as the former Luo Guanlin... This can be said to be an unrecognizable change, which really makes people embarrassed to face their old self. degree.

Chang Suining smiled and nodded: "Thank you sir for reminding me, I will pay attention."

If she says that Chang Kuo and his son are reliable with her, it will only make Luo Guanlin think that she is simple-minded, and will also hurt the other party's feelings - such a sharp reminder that ordinary subordinates often dare not speak easily in order to avoid suspicion, so Very valuable.

Seeing that Chang Suining seemed to have taken it seriously, Luo Guanlin then talked about something else: "...Ming Hou's secret edict this time is very inappropriate. It's not like her style. Does your Excellency know if there is any hidden secret in it?"

Logically speaking, Minghou could not have imagined that such a secret edict would force Chang Suining to become rebellious.

According to his understanding of Minghou, the other party's abnormal behavior seems to have something else to rely on...

"It's a hidden secret..." Chang Suining did not deny Luo Guanlin's guess, but in the end he just smiled and said, "I will tell my husband when I have the chance someday."

If we talk about her relationship with the Ming Dynasty, it will naturally involve the secret that she was once Li Xiao.

Hearing her "telling off" like this, Luo Guanlin put his hands behind his hands and said, "Sir, there are indeed a lot of secrets in you."

Those seven million strings, as well as her unclear life experience, her many unexplainable abilities, and now there is another unknown connection with the Ming Dynasty...

Chang Sui Ning also raised his hands and said with a smile: "If I don't hang on to these secrets, how can I attract Mr. to come with me?"

"In the eyes of adults, isn't a certain person a donkey who needs a carrot to hang on before he is willing to move forward?"

"How can you be so self-deprecating, sir? You are a thousand-mile horse at least."

"Is it Luo who demeans himself again?"

“…”

The two were chatting and laughing under the jujube tree as the sky gradually darkened.

In the early morning of the next day, Chang Sui Ning mounted his horse and set off outside the main gate of Jiangdu Governor's Mansion under the salute of all the officials.

The 20,000 cavalrymen who followed Chang Suining were already lined up outside Jiangdu City with great momentum.

Chang Suining sent troops to Luoyang on this trip, claiming to the outside world that he was following the emperor's will to quell the chaos. In a short period of time, no one in Jiangdu knew about it, but everyone had their own guesses and considerations in their hearts.

Outside Jiangdu City, a mighty and solemn cavalry team was escorting more than ten carriages. In one of the carriages, Wu Jue and Tian Jing were sitting.

Wu Jue, who had not slept all night, didn't look relaxed at the moment. After a while, he frowned and asked Tianjing: "I said...you must have known that you were invincible, so you used your unattractive illusion to me in the middle of the night. What kind of tricks did you take the opportunity to peek at the results of my divination? "

Before leaving this morning, Chang Sui Ning got a note from Wu Jue and Tian Jing each, which stated the birth date and horoscope that they had calculated for her.

After Chang Suining unfolded them separately, he saw that the handwriting on them was completely different, but the content of the eight characters was exactly the same.

But what really surprised Chang Suining was not this.

Upon closer inspection, those horoscopes actually have a great connection with herself...

The reason for this is that in this horoscope, only the year of birth is the year of A Li's birth, but the next six characters completely coincide with her previous life as Li Shangshi.

The so-called eight characters are divided into four pillars, which are the year pillar, month pillar, day pillar and time pillar when a person was born.

In other words, in the horoscope that Wujue and Tianjing calculated for her, the year pillar is the year of birth of her current body, while the moon pillar, sun pillar and hour pillar belong to her body. All of Li Shang…

The combination of these horoscopes unexpectedly creates a unique and noble destiny.

But is it really an accident?

Tianjing doesn’t think so.

If you want to fabricate an earth-shattering noble horoscope out of thin air, and the year column is fixed and cannot be changed, it involves many particularities and taboos. The actual difficulty is far beyond the imagination of a layman like Chang Sui Ning -

Even when the year column is fixed, there is a possibility that no matter how the six characters are arranged later, it will not be 100% noble.

Last night, Tianjing and Wujue made repeated calculations, but they always felt that they were not satisfied enough. It was not until dawn that the results were obtained one after another.

The same result also proves the fact that the value of this horoscope is unquestionable and irreplaceable.

At this moment, Tianjing sighed: "Perhaps, this is the brilliance of respecting the master..." (End of this chapter)
