"Yuan Kai? Yuan Kai?"
"What's wrong with you?!"
Sima Zhao's inquiry interrupted Du Yu's contemplation.
Du Yu raised his head and saw Sima Zhao, who looked worried in front of him. Sima Zhao asked anxiously: "Are you okay? Do you want me to call a doctor for you?"
Du Yu's heart became even more entangled.
"General, I'm fine."
"Probably a little tired."
"Oh, this is all my fault. I let Yuan Kai run around without taking a rest! Send Yuan Kai back to rest!"
Sima Zhao immediately ordered, then took his hand and said seriously: "Yuan Kai must take care of himself and have a good rest. This world cannot be without you!"
Du Yu said nothing, and his face became increasingly bitter.
He saluted Sima Zhao and left here immediately.
After walking out of the inner room, Du Yu's eyes were a little dazed. He shook his head and drove all the thoughts out of his mind. The soldier hurried forward, helped him get into the carriage, and then slowly left here.
Sima Zhao watched him leave with gentle eyes, but Zhong Hui's eyes were a little disdainful.
"When this guy heard that I had defeated His Majesty's plan, he was so frightened. Could it be that he sympathized with Your Majesty? His heart towards others?"
Sima Zhao was stunned and quickly said seriously: "Yuan Kai is not such a person, Shi Ji should not speak like this!"
Zhong Hui immediately frowned, "Then general, why don't you let me leave and ask him for advice?"
Sima Zhao said helplessly: "Shiji, how can he solve such a matter? Shiji still takes the lead in everything. Yuan Kai is still young, and he often tells me that he wants to be taught by you."
Zhong Hui's expression improved a lot, and he continued: "General, don't blame me for speaking frankly. This man has some intelligence, but whenever he talks about His Majesty's affairs, he remains silent and timid. His father Du Shu, a regular servant of Sanqi, was the most opposed to Duke Xuanwen at first and tried to deal with Duke Xuanwen many times. Later, Duke Xuanwen exiled him and he died in exile."
"In other words, your family has a grudge against him for killing his father."
"The emperor in the past was fatuous. Even if Du Yuankai had the idea of helping the world, he had no one to be loyal to. But now the emperor is a wise master."
"Although you value him very much and marry your sister to him, who has a higher status, father or wife?"
"You favor him too much. If one day he remembers his father's hatred and defectes to the emperor, he will be our great enemy. Please don't take this matter lightly."
Sima Zhao suddenly fell silent.
"What you said makes sense. Please pay attention to it in the future."
Zhong Hui then continued to talk about his arrangements for the study of Confucian classics. Sima Zhao listened very seriously, but was very angry in his heart.
Too much favor?
When it comes to being arrogant and favored, who can compare with you?
You actually dare to frame my confidant in front of me, if you don't have the talent to humiliate me! How can I spare you? !
Ruan Ji stood at the door of the mansion with a straight face.
The servant saw him and hurriedly opened the door.
But Ruan Ji didn't go in, and just stood at the door, waiting.
When Ji Kang came out to greet him in person, Ruan Ji was pulled into the house by him.
"What's the difference between you coming in to find me and me going out to pick you up?"
"Have you become so domineering after becoming a regular servant?"
In front of Ruan Ji, Ji Kang was not as serious as he was in front of outsiders. Instead, he took the initiative to make jokes.
Ruan Ji just gave him a roll of his eyes.
The two of them walked into the inner room. Ji Kang asked someone to prepare some wine, and then looked at Ruan Ji.
Ruan Ji frowned and was staring at him, looking a little annoyed.
This surprised Ji Kang. What happened?
Ji Kang asked suspiciously: "Si Zong? But what's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Ruan Ji suddenly asked: "Ji Shuye! Do you have any conspiracy with His Majesty?!"
A flash of surprise flashed in Ji Kang's eyes, and then he became furious.
"What a Lu Zhongti! He actually has the nerve to ask me to keep quiet?!"
"What?! Lu An is also involved?!"
"ah??"
At this moment, the two of them looked at each other, big eyes and small eyes, and the scene was somewhat awkward.
When Ji Kang was questioned by Ruan Ji, he immediately thought that Lu An had leaked the secret and directly exposed himself.
As for Ruan Ji, he originally thought that only Ji Kang was involved in this matter, but now he found out that even Lu An knew about it.
The two looked at each other for a long time, silent.
It was Ji Kang who asked first: "How did you know?"
"When His Majesty summoned many knights, he suddenly talked about integrating the classics, and he said to me privately, why not ask Ji Shuye what he thinks?"
"I understood at that time that you had a conspiracy with His Majesty."
"I see."
Ji Kang suddenly realized.
Ji Kang then smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I don't have to worry, it's my own family!"
Ruan Ji still gave him a blank look.
"I'm just here to remind you, don't be too smart. Today's situation cannot be reversed by just a few people. If you don't want to die, it's best not to do anything more and just continue as usual."
"And Lu An, please tell me not to participate in such things. If you want to do big things, you must have the corresponding abilities. What do you have to dare to participate in such big things?"
"Such an action will not only fail to win, but will also cost you both your lives!"
Ji Kang's face gradually became solemn, and he asked:
"Is Ruan Sizong, a famous person in the world, also afraid of death?"
"Afraid."
Ruan Ji said very straightforwardly.
"I don't know why Your Majesty told me such a thing, but I will not participate."
"This is a matter of life and death."
Ji Kang was not angry after hearing this. He nodded calmly.
"It makes some sense."
Ruan Ji sighed, "Why does Uncle Ye need to get involved in these things? The Sima family is innocent, but they have great power. How can we fight against it?"
"Isn't it good that we cultivate ourselves by taking food, playing the piano and chanting poems, drinking wine and having fun, and are content with ourselves?"
"It's not too late to wake up now."
"You always say that if you go beyond religion and let nature take its course, don't you most yearn for the life of gods? How can there be gods in the world who participate in worldly affairs?"
Ji Kang laughed and stood up slowly.
"I really yearn for that kind of life. Back then, I was hiking on a mountain and forgot about the road and everything. A woodcutter saw me and shouted, "God."
"When I went to Jijun Mountain, I met a hermit and invited him to play with me. He refused. Before leaving, he told me: You are strong-willed and talented. How can you avoid disaster?"
"I met another hermit in the mountains. We went into the mountains together. He was holding a stone in his hand. He said that the stone was as sweet as sugar and wanted me to eat it. I said it was just a stone. How could it be called a sweet fruit?"
"He then pointed to the stone chamber in the distance and said where there was a book written on white silk. I said that there was an empty stone chamber. Where was there a book written on white silk?"
"The hermit told me: You have unusual interests but always fail to recognize your talents. This is your fate!"
"Perhaps, I just don't have the life of gods like you. If it's black, it's black, and if it's white, it's white! Stones can't be turned into sweet fruits, and empty rooms can't turn into divine books!"
"Thieves of the country will always be thieves of the country! They will never become virtuous ministers! Troubled times will be troubled times, and they will never be prosperous times!!"
"The suffering in the world is real, and the collapse of rituals and music is also real, but what everyone is saying is false!"
"I don't have any talents. Even though I can see things more clearly than you, I can't do anything about it. I can only do what I can to not help others."
"Now, Your Majesty doesn't care about my cowardice and incompetence, and wants to entrust me with important matters. How can I back down?!"
"Your Majesty met me as a soldier of the country, and I will repay you as a soldier of my homeland!"
Ji Kang looked very excited.
Ruan Ji looked at his old friend in shock and was speechless for a long time.
He was also dissatisfied with the Sima family, but among the seven sages, only Ji Kang was the toughest. When the Sima family took power, he simply resigned and refused to do anything. When Sima Shi and Sima Zhao came to conquer, he ran away directly. Zhong Hui personally When he came to conquer the country, he just drove them away.
When he learned that his friend Shan Tao had recommended him to Sima Zhao, he immediately wrote an eloquent "Book of Severance of Diplomacy with Shan Juyuan" and directly broke off relations with this friend. It is said that when Sima Zhao saw this article, he "I became angry after hearing this" and had the idea of killing him.
Unlike Ruan Ji, who is always cautious and avoids disaster, he dares to fight back, even though this strength means nothing to Sima Zhao.
After Ji Kang finished speaking, he felt extremely comfortable and even couldn't help laughing.
He suddenly looked at Ruan Ji, "Si Zong, I have something I want to ask you to help me with!"
Ruan Ji hesitated a little, but still nodded, "Please tell me."
"I have a song "Guangling San". Yuan Xiaoni used to learn "Guangling San" from me. I was always stingy and refused to teach him. Now I want to die because I really don't want this song to be lost."
"I want to teach you this song. In the future, you can choose a person who is good at it to teach it to you."
"Please don't refuse."
Ruan Ji looked at him blankly, but was speechless.
Ji Kang ordered someone to fetch the harp, took a sip of wine, and immediately started playing.
This Guangling Powder is Ji Kang's unique skill. He is very proud of it and never wants to teach it to others. But at this moment, he no longer cares.
The sound of the piano is extremely high-pitched and continuous. Ji Kang's movements are getting faster and faster. The whole piece is filled with an indignant and unyielding spirit. Ji Kang plays more smoothly than before, as if he has forgotten everything, his long sleeves are flowing, as if he is infatuated. Ruzui, at this moment, he is more like an immortal in the world than before.
Ji Kang's piano sound is so passionate, one wave after another, like a rock being hit by waves.
The emotions were superimposed, and the original indignation in the song was much less, and more wild and vigorous. Even Ruan Ji could not calm down at this moment.
When Ji Kang stopped playing and looked at Ruan Ji sitting opposite.
Do not know why.
Ruan Ji was already in tears.
