"Is this the secret that Zong Xiang wants to tell me?" Xu Yiyang slowly walked to Ji Hong and asked, "General Ji will not lie to me, right?"

"My father has been dead for a long time. The only scene I remember is that he held me and sat around his neck and ran around the snow. I laughed happily, and he laughed happily."

Xu Yiyang's eyes were blurred, as if he was recalling what happened a long time ago: "This scene often appears in dreams, but in the past few years, I can no longer see my father's face."

Ji Hong's voice was hoarse: "In life, we will inevitably do a few things that we can't help but do."

Xu Yiyang turned to Zong Mao and asked, "Is Zong Xiang really sure?"

"Of course," Zong Mao's throat hurts, and a red mark remains on his neck. He coughs twice and says, "The governors and governors of several wealthy provinces in the world are my people, and all workshops will support me. If you have money, guns, soldiers of the government, and soldiers of the governor, big things can be accomplished."

"Then what?"

Zong Mao said: "With the second prince ascended the throne, the Hetao horse farm will support us, and the Tumote and the Han people outside the Great Wall will also support us. The Northern Army Governor Che Renxiong has always had a relationship with the second prince. When the wood has already been completed, he will also stand on the side of the court."

Ji Hong touched the short dagger on his waist with his left hand, and Zong Mao, who had been with him for decades, suddenly became so strange.

Seeing his actions, Xu Yiyang turned his face and looked sharp, warning: "Master Ji, don't move around, don't resist in vain."

Ji Hong smiled sadly: "General Xu, once you draw your sword, no matter how successful or failure, you don't know how many people will die in the war. The Great Zhou Navy goes far to the South China Sea, the Western Regions Protectorate, the Mobei Protectorate and the Liaodong Protectorate, all of them will withdraw their troops, and all fifteen years of hard work will be wasted."

"No," Zong Mao took a few steps back. Ji Hong's surprise attack just now made him feel scared. "Who else in the world dares to refuse to obey, then I will be the prime minister and Governor Xu will be the general, and the Zhou Dynasty will only become stronger and stronger."

He raised his hands to the sky and said, "Your Majesty is indeed a hero, but Your Majesty is not cruel enough. Without Kunlun slaves or labor slaves, how can you maintain nearly one million soldiers in the Great Zhou? Today's Great Zhou is like the sun, with a strong national strength and surrender to all the seas. Isn't it my credit for Zong Mao?"

His emotions burst to the extreme, and he wanted to reveal all the pressure in his heart.

"Ji Hong, you are just your Majesty's slave. Although you are loyal, you only have loyalty. Mercy is just the expectation of the cowardly. Have you ever seen the wolves on the grassland be kind to the yellow sheep? When I was eight years old, I hid in the grass and watched the wolves catch sheep, and their claws were like shaved on me. Without bloody lamb, how could there be a strong wolf pack? If Chongzhen had ruthlessly slaughtered the thieves in Shaanxi, he would not have lost his country."

He smiled at Xu Yiyang: "General Xu and I can work together to ensure that the original intention of a warrior is not lost. Isn't there four words in the martial arts hall written by His Majesty himself - expanding territory. Your Majesty wants Zhang Ying to be the prime minister, and that person is just a moral corrupt scholar."

Ji Hong ignored him, walked to the opposite side of Xu Yiyang, and bowed: "General, one thought of life and death of millions of people, please think twice."

The moonlight is bright, and in three days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival and the day for people all over the world to reunite.

Xu Yiyang held the sword with his right hand and said leisurely: "In my life, I have learned a lot of the hobbies of my adoptive father, only loving women and fine wine. Among the court officials, no one like me took sixteen concubines. For this reason, Your Majesty even joked about me. But I never force others, nor do I use power to suppress others, although I know that someone is polite to marry into the general's house because of my power."

Zong Mao laughed and said, "After the big event is completed, General Xu even if he takes one hundred concubines, no one dares to gossip."

Xu Yiyang said: "You don't know that too many women are also a headache. After marrying them home, they can't send them out. In recent years, they are old and weak, and they are gradually unable to take care of them."

Zong Mao didn't understand why Xu Yiyang was talking nonsense. His patience was about to be worn out and urged: "General Xu, what else do you have to hesitate?"

Xu Yiyang said: "A big thing is not allowed to not ask me carefully." He stared at Zong Mao and suddenly asked: "Does the second prince know?"

Zong Mao smiled sinisterly and said, "He knows the difference between him and he doesn't know. Who else will give up the throne he won?"

Xu Yiyang thought for a while, nodded and sighed, "Yes, what can he do if he doesn't follow him then? Who in the world can truly control his own destiny? Just like the sect prime minister, if His Majesty doesn't let you quit, you won't take this risk."

Zong Mao's face was unstable and he had no answer.

If Your Majesty does not withdraw his position, he will be His Majesty's slave. After all, it is the poison of power that makes people unable to extricate themselves.

"Okay" Xu Yiyang stepped out, "Zong Xiang awaits my news."

"Slow" Zong Mao stopped him.

"The general has his own soldiers waiting in the prime minister's mansion. He just needs to order people to go to the army to convey orders, and there is no need to go there personally."

Xu Yiyang stopped and asked, "Don't Zong Xiang believe me?"

"I have to be careful when things are urgent," Zong Mao's face looked ferocious, "I have made arrangements at the north gate of the capital. You ordered your personal soldiers to leave the city overnight and let the soldiers stationed in Tongzhou enter the city. Major events can be settled after dawn."

Xu Yiyang laughed and said, "Zong Xiang is indeed a good method."

As long as he transfers his troops into the city, he will rebel even if he doesn't.

"Okay, just as Zong Xiang said." He raised his foot and was about to walk out.

Ji Hong was shocked and chased after him and shouted, "General Xu thought twice."

Zong Mao clapped his hands, and more than a dozen men in black appeared in the shadow and surrounded him. He said coldly: "Ji Hong, although you hurt me, I still think you are a brother, don't force me."

Xu Yiyang turned around and frowned slightly, saying, "Don't hurt Commander Ji, I still have some things to ask him."

Zong Mao only said that he wanted to ask the details of his father being framed and said, "I won't hurt him. When the big thing is done, Ji Hong will be handed over to General Xu to deal with it."

Xu Yiyang asked again: "Don't Zong Xiang go with me?"

He was very long-winded tonight. Zong Mao thought for a while and said, "I want to go with the general."

The two walked out of the dark yard, and four men in black followed behind them.

Suddenly, a noise came from the gate, and the woman's screams were particularly prominent in the middle of the night.

Xu Yiyang stopped and asked, "Is anyone drunk and causing trouble?"

Zong Mao scolded: "Who dares to cause trouble?"

Xu Yiyang looked up at the moon in the sky, reached out and patted Zong Mao on the shoulder, and said, "Zong Xiang, do you want to go and see? The guest will be suspicious if he doesn't see the owner for a long time."

The noise became louder and louder, mixed with the sound of running. Zong Maoyu turned furious and shouted, "What's going on?"

"Someone is coming." Xu Yiyang grabbed Zong Mao's arm.

Zong Mao felt that Xu Yiyang was pulling too tightly, and he swung his arms to break free, and asked, "Who is here?"

But Xu Yiyang's arm was like iron pliers, pulling him out and saying, "You will know when you go out."

"General Xu, you..."

"The imperial edict is here..." The long tone of the little yellow gate in the distance came over.

"The imperial edict is coming." Zong Mao's legs became weak and he almost sat on the ground.

"Zong Xiang, don't be afraid, maybe Your Majesty is just seeing you off."

The personal guards holding torches controlled the Prime Minister's Mansion in just a quarter of an hour. Their numbers were small and they were carefully selected from their children of military meritorious deeds. When His Majesty went to the grassland, they accompanied His Majesty to hunt. When His Majesty returned to the capital, they were stationed outside the imperial city.

The leading general was Bao Shizhong, Bao Guang's second son.

Zongmao stood up straight.

Xu Yiyang whispered in his ear: "Don't act rashly, there is no chance."

"You..., have you betrayed me?"

Xu Yiyang smiled and said, "I just hope Zong Xiang doesn't betray me."

The alcohol in the drunken person's body turned into sweat and emerged from his pores, and the torches of the pro-guard finally illuminated Zong Mao's face.

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: Prime Minister Zong Mao was extremely arrogant and extravagant, doting his subordinates, and greedy for bribes. He was relieved of his official position and handed over to Dali Temple to find out. He was respected.

Bao Shizhong walked up to Zong Mao and said, "Zong Xiang, I have offended him."

Xu Yiyang let go of Zong Mao's arm.

Bao Shizhong bowed his fists to Xu Yiyang and shouted: "Not the Prime Minister's Mansion, please leave quickly, the personal guards will be released, and the rest are waiting in the mansion."

Xu Yiyang was promoted to the position of governor of the Central Army because he defeated Junggar Mongolia in the Western Regions and rebuilt Luntingzhou City at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. He has a high prestige in the army and should be second only to Fengqin.

"Zong Xiang, let's go." Two light armored soldiers came up to take Zong Mao.

Xu Yiyang said: "General Ji is still inside."

Bao Shizhong clasped his fists and said, "I know."

Zong Mao stared at Xu Yiyang viciously, his eyes shining everywhere, it was Xu Yiyang who betrayed him.

However, Your Majesty did not mention his rebellion in the imperial edict. The two soldiers each grabbed Zong Mao's arm and escorted him out. He felt bitter in his heart. This was His Majesty's method, and he would never cut off all hopes from others.

All the court officials left in a panic, and Xu Yiyang waited at the gate until Ji Hong came out.

Ji Hong looked complicated and whispered: "Governor Xu, it's not in vain that Your Majesty has given you the important task." Thinking about it, Xu Yiyang just now warned him because he was afraid that Zong Mao would hurt him.

"I can't do it," Xu Yiyang laughed. "Without the transfer order from the Privy Council and the approval of the deputy governor, I am the governor of the Central Army and cannot mobilize the regular soldiers."

It is unknown whether the truth or not of his words is true or not, but he smiled easily.

The two walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion side by side, with a clear torch outside, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was surrounded, and a bird could not escape the eyes of the guards and flew out.

Ji Hongdao: "Your Majesty cannot be blamed entirely on your father's death."

He felt it was necessary to make this clear. As the chief general of the Central Army, Xu Yiyang was responsible for the safety of the capital, and a little grudge in his heart could lead to a disaster.

Xu Yiyang pointed to the Forbidden City and said, "This is the court, we have been here for a long time."

What does personal grudge count in the court?

The two walked to the martial law circle of the personal guards, and General Qian raised his hand to signal to let go.

"When I was in Jiangnan, Uncle Chen told me about the old story of breaking up with friends from several clubs, and he was deeply sorry for my father's death. Back then, my father accepted the invitation after listening to his advice."

Xu Yiyang said: "But, that's a chaotic world."

No one wants to go back to that era except lunatics.
