Yuan Xingzhou did not hesitate and responded: "Okay."
"If you are allowed to be the king of Ye State, can you be diligent and honest? You will work hard to govern, appoint talents and innovate, be considerate of the people's privacy, be kind and courteous to the virtuous, save punishment and reduce taxes, be politically tolerant, and care about the people's lives. King?" She took a long breath to finish asking the question in her mind.
In fact, compared to her own personal grievances, she was more worried that Yu Wensheng had snatched the throne, but did not intend to properly govern the country of Ye, which was riddled with holes, and let the country of Ye fall from one hot bed to another. , this is the biggest disaster.
Yuan Xingzhou was surprised but not surprised by her question. His cold, white and indifferent face was not worthy of his strong and ape-colored look now. His eyes were strange and burning as he stared at Zheng Quchi, and his tone sounded like feathers falling. Itching sensation.
"To be honest, I can't."
Zheng Quchi was about to feel a hole in his eyes, feeling uncomfortable all over: "..." Are you not even willing to lie now?
Yuan Xingzhou took a step forward towards her, but Zheng Quchi quickly saw it and took two steps back, for fear of being caught by him again.
"If you can't, then you can't. I'm just asking..."
"But if you are willing to stay by my side to advise me, guide me, and be a beacon for my future, maybe I can build Ye Country into a country that satisfies you."
He was talking about what-ifs, but his eyes were like those of a devout believer under the statue, expressing his inner wish to come true with a ten thousandth of expectation.
The two looked at each other, one hopeful, the other terrified, not knowing where their thoughts were going.
Damn, what does he mean? Why would he say such strange things to a loyal subordinate? Aren't he afraid of some strange rumors being spread?
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? He, he is Fu Rong?" Wei Yao was almost frightened by the demonizing atmosphere between the Crown Prince and Fu Rong.
Wang Zebang also said nervously and seriously: "Your Highness, is it because of the Phoenix Tears that your eyes can't see clearly? I, I'll go find the imperial doctor right now and have a look -"
Everyone felt that Yuan Xingzhou was probably blind, otherwise why would he change his normal attitude and suddenly become so friendly towards Rong, coaxing, lying, and giving to a girl? The promise and praise were completely contrary to common sense. They couldn't help but feel goosebumps on their skin and panic.
Zheng Quchi also had the same idea as these two people. The way Yuan Xingzhou was so angry and wanted to kill someone just now was scary, but not disgusting, but now she didn't know how to deal with him.
"Your Highness, Shimodian launched a mutiny, Runtu sent news of his death, and most of the internal generals rebelled collectively. Now most of Shimodian's land has been lost—"
Li Gang received the blood-stained news and rushed here in a hurry. Just as he finished speaking, a man in black suddenly appeared behind him and raised a knife. He was about to stab him in the back, but Yuan Xingzhou was killed by him. He strangled his wrist faster, pushed it out with a palm, vomited blood and died.
"assassin!"
Zheng Quchi had just been stunned by Li Gang's roar, and in the blink of an eye she was shocked to see an assassin chasing Li Gang. However, before she could react and signal loudly, the assassin had been neatly dispatched by Yuan Xingzhou.
He is professional and knowledgeable in killing assassins.
Li Gang glanced at the assassin's body behind him and gasped in shock. Wei Yao and Wang Zebang hurried forward: "What happened?"
"Urgent news, something happened in Shimodian, Your Highness!" Li Gang put aside the assassin matter and quickly handed the information in his hand to Yuan Xingzhou.
Yuan Xingzhou took it and read it ten lines at a time. His face was expressionless, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking. He handed it over to Wei Yao and Wang Zebang.
Li Gang watched the assassin's body being carried away, and said with fear and disdain: "Queen Ye's accomplices are really getting anxious. A nest of snakes and rats will appear soon."
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Quchi felt that he was talking about the assassins in the palace as well as Shimoda.
She had been wondering how long it had been since Yuan Xingzhou imprisoned Empress Ye and others, but had been collecting criminal evidence without disposing of it. She randomly interrogated a few of her comrades and searched her palace again. Why worry about not being convicted? evidence of?
However, everything was calm all the time. It was only now that she realized that the reason for keeping Ye Hou alive was to fish.
Also, Queen Ye has been in power in the royal family of Ye Kingdom for so many years, and she naturally has influence in both the government and the opposition. The most important thing is that Queen Ye only cares about power, but does not care about which country she is in power. She does not care about the people of Ye Kingdom, so she does not care about the people of Ye Kingdom. If you have no faith in your stance, you can naturally collude with other countries without any burden, which has led to the Ye State being almost on the verge of collapse in just a few years.
And Ye State was even more ignorant and incompetent, a jealous and talented villain who suppressed Yu Wensheng's ability all his life. He was afraid that he would be too powerful to succeed, so he ignored the severe national situation and sent him to "exile" in a peripheral area to wipe out everything about him. merit.
Thinking about it now, going to the field is equivalent to a ripe pustule bursting, it will be a matter of time.
"Runtu died in battle...even though we deployed for so long, we still lost." Wei Yao gritted his teeth in anger.
Zheng Quchi next to him heard this and asked hurriedly: "Who did you say died? Runtu?"
Wang Zebang heard her ask and gave her the information: "You can see for yourself."
Zheng Quchi took it over and browsed it quickly. His whole body was chilling and his teeth were chattering: "He desperately defended Shimoda's last line of defense, but died from a sneak attack from behind..."
Who shot the arrow after this one?
Behind him, there were people he was supposed to be protecting, but some of them shot arrows at him...
Seeing that Zheng Quchi was so sad about Runtu's death, Yuan Xingzhou's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said to Li Gang: "Summon Li Dewei, Chen Shao and Wang Feichen to the Xuanwu Hall."
He turned to Wei Yao and Wang Zebang and said, "Shimodian cannot be lost. The worst result is that I will personally go to suppress it and quell the internal strife and foreign troubles."
The four of them were urgently discussing the next countermeasures as they walked, but Zheng Quchi couldn't say a word. She didn't know whether to follow them or not.
At this time Yuan Xingzhou turned around again: "Are you going to leave the palace or stay in the palace?"
When Zheng Quchi thought about Runtu's unjust death, her heart was filled with panic, like wet rain falling, and her mood was sour and dull. She wanted to help, but she knew that she could not help these people in the war at all.
She is a professional, but does she still need help from someone who is amateur like her and relies on strange and dangerous methods to win every time?
"Leave."
He understood her mood. She wanted to distract herself by doing something. He looked at her deeply: "...I understand the purpose of your visit. Everything you want to know will be kept intact in the future. I told you to be patient and wait for me to come back.”
Zheng Quchi stared at his leaving figure with wide eyes.
After leaving such a suspicious "bait" to hook her, Yuan Xingzhou took the people to the Xuanwu Palace, and Li Gang escorted her away, although Li Gang looked confused and didn't understand why His Highness gave such an order.
Shouldn't he be involved in major battle plans with other generals? Even if he is listening, he will give his useful and practical suggestions. He has confidence in himself. He was doing this before becoming a eunuch. Even if he later became an eunuch, he did not waste his talents and practical learning.
But His Highness asked him to take a team of guards to take Fu Rong to where she wanted to go.
At that time, the expressions of Li Gang, Wei Yao and Wang Zebang were probably quite distorted.
Although there was indeed an assassin in the palace, the assassin had been lurking for so long. The reason why he rashly killed him was to intercept intelligence and delay the military situation. It was a desperate move. It was also because he was forced to have no choice but to kill him rashly. Urgent reporting is important.
But why would the assassin kill an insignificant person?
His Highness's regard for Fu Rong is probably too much. Why didn't he see Fu Rong's great potential as a favored minister in the past?
Li Gang's mood now is exactly the same as that of Wei Yao and Wang Zebang at that time. He was sour and a little bit critical. After all, these people were fighting secretly to compete for the number one position next to the general. Among them, the most active and insidious one is Fu Rong.
On the way, Zheng Quchi was thinking a lot. While he was wondering whether Yuan Xingzhou had recognized her, he was also worried about the battle in Shimodian. His thoughts were complicated and he had a splitting headache.
On the way, she happened to meet people from Hualin Garden running past. She saw their anxious faces and their collars were soaked with sweat. It was obvious that they had encountered something important. As soon as she saw them, she ran after them without even thinking. Go up.
Li Gang was dumbfounded and quickly chased after him.
His Highness's orders come first at all times. If they are to be delivered, they must be delivered. Otherwise, how can we deliver the orders when we return?
Zheng Quchi quickly asked: "Why are you running?"
They ran and she chased. After the distance between them was equal, there was no delay in their journey.
The people in Hualin Garden ignored this person who suddenly jumped out to ask questions, but when they turned around inadvertently, they caught a glimpse of a large group of guards with swords running behind her... If they didn't look down on others, the leader among them was Not the chief eunuch? !
Good guy!
This person has a lot of background and can't afford to offend him.
They quickly suppressed their impatient expressions and simply said: "Something happened, something big happened!"
"What's the big deal?"
"Cangling flooded and flooded the plains. I don't know how many people suffered. Master Zheng is not here. We are rushing to Nanlin Garden to report and discuss the matter with the young master, and then report the accurate details of the disaster to the court."
Zheng Quchi was stunned for a moment, then said: "I'll go too!"
Everyone in Hualin Garden exclaimed: "Sir, what are you going to do?"
"I am your Master Zheng." After saying that, Zheng Quchi tore off the disposable mask and wiped off the sticky paste with his sleeve. Ignoring their stunned looks, he turned around and said to Li Gang: "Hurry back and help him. Take care of the important things, it’s time for me to take care of my own affairs now.”
She rushed towards Nanlin Garden, and Yuan Xingzhou was also making intensive arrangements to lead his troops to Shimodian. Although one was on the battlefield and the other was working on infrastructure, they both reached the same goal by different routes. They would both struggle in their respective fields. They are also guarding this peace where they are needed.
She is not very capable, but there is always something she can do to help. There is always a gap that she can fit right in and make up for. (End of chapter)
