The most unlucky crossing in history

"Wen Zhuo is still young, even if he is the same age, he is indeed not as good as you in terms of strategy, martial arts, and art. If you don't become a civil servant of Laoshizi halfway through, and don't engage in those things of fighting for power and profit, who do you think I will give the position of great general? !” Injured lungs on the battlefield cannot be completely healed.Xie Cheng gasped again when he said this.

Xie Wenyuan didn't speak, but got up again and poured Xie Cheng a cup of hot water.

When Xie Cheng calmed down, Xie Chengcai said slowly again, "What I have in mind is to entrust you with the position of general, but now you are the prime minister of the dynasty and hold one of the military power in your hand. Commanding hundreds of officials, the power is astounding, if the military power in the hands of the general is placed in your hands..."

Xie Chengdao: "Even if I believe that you have no two intentions, which emperor can tolerate a subject who can match him or even have power standing in front of him at such a time, the emperor who lacks military power like Wei Hechao can't bear it, let alone You? If at such a time, he attacks you to take your life, can you not resist? What will happen then, I dare not think."

"The more I think about this, the more I hate you for being a civil servant."

This is also the first time that Xie Cheng has expressed his thoughts to him in so many years.

Xie Wenyuan was silent for a long time before he said: "I understand what the general said, and I also understand that if you become the prime minister, you will not be able to be a general."

Xie Cheng felt a pain in his heart, only to hear the eldest son say again slowly: "I don't aspire to a high position, I just want the world to be peaceful. I hope my father can understand this."

Xie Cheng didn't respond, and Xie Wenyuan didn't say any more.The room was quiet for a long time before Xie Wenyuan changed the subject and said, "I'm here today, and I have one more thing I want to ask the general to agree to."

"What's the matter?"

"I beg the general to tell the great general that Zhang Hong and Bai Lan should be taken with us when we conquer the northwest."

Zhang Hong and Bai Lan are close friends who have followed Xie Wenyuan for many years. Of course, Xie Cheng, who selected the general for Xie Wenyuan back then, knew it very well. Isn't it in the military?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere between the father and son became tense, but Xie Wenyuan, who had expected him to say something like this, remained calm, and said: "I followed the general. Zhang Hong and Bai Lan naturally have nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion. The general should also know the abilities of Zhang Hong, Bai Lan and others.

The talent of a good general, such a person can't be confined to the three inches of the prime minister's mansion as a bodyguard, and his life is wasted. "

Of course, Xie Cheng understands the ability of Zhang Hong and others. It would be a good thing for these people to follow Xie Wenzhuo wholeheartedly, but...how loyal Zhang Hong and Bai Lan are to Xie Wenyuan, Xie Cheng also It is even more clear that it was because of his loyalty that Xie Wenyuan left the military camp and the general's mansion without hesitation when he was a civil servant.

"If the general is not at ease, then I can't help it, but I promise the general that if the prime minister's mansion has any interest in dealing with these people in the future, the general will directly report it to the present, and let the emperor punish me for the crime of using martial arts. Don’t force yourself to argue.”

Xie Cheng thought for a long time, and finally replied: "Wait for me to tell the general, and you can let Zhang Hong and Bai Lan report to the army someday."

Xie Wenyuan stood up, bowed deeply to Xie Cheng and said, "Thank you, General."

Xie Cheng couldn't bear to see him being so polite. He frowned and didn't answer.

Xie Wenyuan saw that the sky outside was completely dark, and he continued: "It's late, I still have some things to deal with at my place, so I won't disturb the general's rest, so I'm leaving."

Xie Cheng listened for a while, and wanted to ask if he wanted to have some dinner at the house, but he hadn't said this for so many years, and he couldn't say it for a while. He was silent for a moment, or said no, he was irritable He waved his hand confidently: "Go back, go back!"

After hearing this, Xie Wenyuan bowed to him again, then turned and left, only took two steps when Xie Cheng behind him suddenly called out to stop him.

"By the way, I have something to ask you."

Xie Wenyuan turned around and looked at Xie Cheng, beckoning him to say.

Xie Cheng looked at Xie Wenyuan, and said slowly: "A few days ago, my friend in Hangzhou wrote to me. In his letter, he mentioned that he had seen you in Zhong's house on the second day of July..."

Xie Wenyuan's eyes moved. He knew that there were people coming and going in Zhong Qiyun's house that day. He naturally knew that it was impossible for only Lu Xuexian to see it. He was afraid that Xie Cheng's spies would also go to Zhong's house that day, seeing the love that day. Forbidden, but, Xie Wenyuan looked at Xie Cheng and didn't answer.

Xie Cheng looked at him carefully, and saw that there was no disturbance on his face, so he frowned and continued: "He said that you and Zhong Qiyun, the owner of the Zhong family, behaved intimately, not like friends, and even went in and out together afterwards, as if... ...."

Xie Cheng didn't say those two words, but the meaning was clear.

Xie Cheng thought of when he saw what was written in this letter,

He was so anxious and unbelievable at the time, but it is naturally impossible for the spies in Hangzhou to tell such lies.

Thinking of this, the anger of that day seemed to be tainted in his heart. Without Xie Wenyuan's answer, he could only suppress that anger, and asked in a stern voice: "Is this true or not?"

Xie Wenyuan didn't avoid Xie Cheng's gaze, he nodded and said, "It's true."

Xie Cheng was stunned for a while. He originally thought that even if this kind of thing was true, Xie Wenyuan would only deny it, but he really didn't expect Xie Wenyuan to admit it.

In an instant, the anger could no longer be suppressed. He lifted the quilt and wanted to get up, but he forgot that he could no longer stand up and struggled. You have a clear heart, you understand what you can do and what you can't do, but how can you hook up with men like this?!"

"Xie Wenyuan, let me ask you, what do you want to do? Hm? Are you ready to get married like Zhong Qiyun?"

Xie Wenyuan thought of what Zhong Qiyun said about the whole life, and his heart felt warm. He nodded and said, "Yes."

"You, you, you..." Xie Cheng was so angry that he couldn't speak, and pointed at Xie Wenyuan.

Xie Wenyuan said: "So what about men, Zhong Qiyun and I know each other sincerely, so why not? In fact, I can say a 'fake' to my father just now, and I can also tell a 'lie' to the world, but I still I want to keep it from your dearest relative."

Xie Cheng was taken aback by the words "closest relatives" that Xie Wenyuan said.

Xie Wenyuan said again: "Just to tell my father, don't use this matter to say something about 'do not do it'. It doesn't matter if you agree or disagree, but I can't let go of this person for the rest of my life."

After finishing speaking, Xie Wenyuan didn't want to see how Xie Cheng reacted, he cupped his hands again, turned around and left without staying.

The landscaping of the General's Mansion is not elaborate, but it occupies the largest area among the official mansions. Xie Wenyuan walked along the corridor to the front hall, and met the general's wife He Shi who was waiting for him there——He Xiu .

Seeing Xie Wenyuan approaching, Mrs. He hurriedly took a step forward and called out, "Ying Shu..."

Xie Wenyuan paused for a moment, He called him like this, he was treating him as a junior in the family, not a prime minister, Xie Wenyuan couldn't pretend to ignore and leave, and nodded in response: "What's the matter, Auntie Xiu?"

When Xie Wenyuan said this, He's eyes burst into tears, "I have no right to say that,

But Aunt Xiu really has no other choice, Aunt Xiu begs you, Wenzhuo is still young and has not yet reached the crown, it is extremely dangerous to go to the northwest to attack the Uyghur..." He wept Weeping: "How can he have that ability? I'm afraid that once he goes..."

He wept and said, "Auntie Xiu, I beg you to tell your father, and the Holy Majesty, don't let Wenzhuo go to the northwest..."

He Xiu was originally a gentle and gentle person, he knew etiquette, and he would never cry and beg for help in front of people like this in the past. In the past when he was in the general's residence, Xie Wenyuan was cold-tempered. It can be counted, and there are very few contacts. Thinking about it like this, it is really anxious to come here and wait for him for a long time.

but......

Xie Wenyuan still said after all: "The court meeting has been decided, the Holy Majesty has made a decision, and the imperial decree will be issued in a few days. It is impossible to change it like this."

He was at a loss when he heard this, and said, "Then, can we change to another general, someone else?"

What He said was indeed a little unreasonable, but Xie Wenyuan still slowly explained: "Of course it can't, Wen Zhuo is already a general, a general of a country, if he is afraid to go at this critical moment, the army will stand I'm sorry, that would be to let the army die, and don't order the three armies in the future."

After Xie Wenyuan said this, He wanted to say more, Xie Wenzhuo suddenly rushed up, grabbed He, and said anxiously: "Mother, what are you doing! Didn't I tell you that I am sorry?" Is it impossible to go! As a general, if I don’t go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, can’t I just stay at home and be the lady who stays at home? Don’t worry, I know in my heart that there is no such danger..."

Seeing that Xie Wenzhuo came to persuade him, Xie Wenyuan didn't plan to stay any longer. He looked at Xie Wenzhuo who was only half a head shorter than him, and seeing Xie Wenzhuo quietly looking at him, he nodded towards Xie Wenzhuo After seeing Xie Wenzhuo, he was stunned and nodded stiffly, then walked around the mother and son and went out.

When he returned to the mansion, he took a pen and paper and wrote a letter, and then sent someone to send it to Zhong Qiyun in Hangzhou.

On the day Zhong Qiyun received Xie Wenyuan's letter, he also received Tan Yuanyong's personal letter from the palace.

Throwing Tan Yuanyong's letter on the table casually, Zhong Qiyun took Xie Wenyuan's letter and couldn't put it down, opened it and read it.

"The war is about to begin, be careful in everything." Signed, asked Yuan.

Zhong Qiyun wrote down a few short words in vigorous and powerful fonts, and Zhong Qiyun read them for a long time, rubbing the word "Wen Yuan" with his fingertips, and missed them time after time, but in the end he could only touch the letter paper to express his lovesickness

.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh before thinking about Xie Wenyuan's words.He originally thought that no matter how fast it was, the war would probably be delayed until the end of the year or the beginning of next year, but how could he know that it would be so sudden.

But during this period of time, he has never heard any rumors in Hangzhou, and even asked people to investigate the Hu family and others, but they have not found anything unusual. I am afraid that this is a top secret and no one will know about it for the time being.

Zhong Qiyun thought about the strategy for the future. Many boats had already been built and put away. Only when the merchants came to find them in person, all of them could be launched into the water. However, if the war broke out, the boatmen would let some of the water transporters follow suit. Hai, but still not enough, it seems to have hired a plan earlier.

Thinking about it this way, Zhong Qiyun got up and went to get Tan Yuanyong's letter. Tan Yuanyong mentioned in the letter that he was told not to look for the master of the Li family for the time being. When the Li family came to ask him to help him, he would definitely try to make him The Li family defected.

"If it's done, you can take the position of the Pei family."

Zhong Qiyun smiled. In the future, the Li family will ask him for help. Zhong Qiyun only wants to get one. This time the war will definitely be different from the past. When the war starts, the big merchants will definitely take out the gold and silver placed in the Li family's bank to keep their money. If he is alive, at that time, if he releases it, he will definitely not be able to get back the loan. No matter how rich the Li family is, it will not be able to withstand it.What the Li family can do is to ask a few big merchants to help, but the Hu family is not as hostile as ever, and it is considered sympathetic if they don't step on it. How can they help him?

In this way, he, Zhong Qiyun, could make some fuss.

Tan Yuanyong asked him to do this because he was targeting the sixth prince. I am afraid that Tan Yuanyong already knew that the orphan of the sixth prince wanted to take the opportunity to act.Zhong Qiyun calculated carefully, but it didn't have much influence on Xie Wenyuan, and the deal proposed by Tan Yuanyong was also done.
