Jiang Xingze is my brother who shares life and death, but he is more like my family.
We have been together like a couple since we were young classmates, rarely separated.
After half a lifetime of dating, he understands my thoughts, my ambitions, and everything about me.
During the days when Jiang Xingze was seriously ill and bedridden, I felt as if I had lost my soul.
Even my ambition to dominate the Central Plains has wavered.
After all, after making a fortune, if you don't have brothers by your side, what's the point of being the best?
You can say this: If Jiang Xingze didn't take care of her, I would never get along with my sister Jiang Lanye.
If sister Jiang Lan's life can be exchanged for Jiang Xingze's longevity, I think this deal is a good deal!
...
I stood at the door for a long time, and various fragments of the past came to my mind. They flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern, until the picture changed from the past to today.
I breathed a sigh of relief and finally took steps towards the bed.
Although it was difficult to walk, I soon arrived in front of the couch. There was a case lying on the couch. When I came closer, Jiang Xingze turned over and sat in front of the case, looking at me with a smile, "Here you go, brother! Look, he has recovered from his serious illness. Looking for two girls to have sex tonight?"
When I looked at Jiang Xingze, my eyes suddenly turned red, my eyelids blinked, and tears almost came out of my eyes.
In the smoke of medicine, Jiang Xingze was well-dressed, with sharp sideburns, and some sweat stains on his forehead. It was obvious that he wanted to see my appearance that I had just arranged. In order to see me in a full posture, he must have tried his best to pick up his appearance. .
My brother's chest rose and fell violently. It could be seen from his loose and ill-fitting clothes that he was so thin due to illness that only his skin and bones were left. Except for a pair of eyes as bright as stars, he looked different from what he had been a few years ago. If two people.
This year the flowers will fade, next year the flowers will fade, and you will end up with a gray head!
He looked at me with a smile, and I suppressed my sadness and reluctantly joked, "With your body and bones right now, even if you are just a baby on the battlefield, you can't get out of bed for three days!"
Jiang Xingze waved his hand and continued to look at me with a smile, "This joke is not funny at all. As expected, you are not suitable for joking."
I immediately burst into tears and cried, "Brother, tomorrow, tomorrow I will ask Butler Xiahou to take you to Luofu Temple. Ge Hong is now a leader in Taoism. With his promise back then, he will definitely save you from fire and water!"
Jiang Xingze coughed twice, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs. He covered his mouth tightly, held in his breath, and forced to stop the coughing. He said, "Good steel is used on the blade. Ge Hong is now a Taoist master. In Jiang Nan responded to every call. His favor was used when you encountered the greatest resistance in your struggle for world domination, not on me. Don't worry, I still want to be your prime minister, and I will never do it in this palace. Haocheng is giving up all the troubles!"
I wanted to speak, but Jiang Xingze stretched out his hand to interrupt me. He smiled freely and said, "When did Jiang Feng, the mighty God of War in the Central Plains, become such a mother-in-law? This is not good."
Jiang Xingze didn't exchange any more greetings with me. He waved to me and motioned for me to sit down.
He seemed a little impatient. As soon as I sat across from him, he said, "Today, I will talk to you about the general trend. You should listen carefully. Maybe, no one will tell you these big principles in the future. "
My lips kept trembling, but I didn't dare to make any sound, and nodded extremely deeply.
Jiang Xingze looked out the window, his eyes revealing wisdom, "In and outside my dreams, I have repeatedly deduced that in recent years, Liu Yan has secretly supported the eight established aristocratic families in Quzhou in the south, established the Xuanjia Army in the north, and established the Pingtian Army. A large army has been stationed in the west of the county to prevent us from invading the capital, and a strong enemy like Zhao Yuhai has been arranged in the east. The emperor has already begun to attack me from all sides. The three strategies of heaven, earth and man that I planned for Brother Jiang back then are as good as heaven, earth and man. He planned to become the king of Quzhou, and planned to become the king of Quzhou, but now the results and the process may not count."
At this point, he looked at me seriously, "Brother, you and I are not righteous in the first place. If we can't take over the Zhao family as soon as possible and open up the Bohai Sea waterway, I'm afraid I will die without a burial place!"
I calmed down and asked Jiang Xingze, "A real man should achieve great fame in the world.
Is it wrong for you and me to agree to ascend to the throne of Quzhou King? "
Jiang Xingze smiled and shook his head, "When I was a kid, someone hit me. After you heard about it, no matter who was right or wrong, you had to fight me back. It was the same then and it is the same today. If you want to be the king of Quzhou, I I should help you with all my strength, even if the other party is the emperor, so what does it matter?"
I was so moved that I couldn't speak for a while.
Jiang Xingze, on the other hand, grinned and said, "While I'm still awake, I need to plan some things for my brother. Are you still willing to listen?"
I pursed my lips and whispered, "When did I not listen to you?"
"Okay!" Jiang Xingze's mood swings were a little bigger. After saying this, he actually breathed for a while before he said, "Send the message to officials above Qianshi to come to Taihao Palace to discuss matters."
I turned around and ordered the guard coldly, "Why don't you do it quickly? Do you want me to go in person?"
The guard was about to take the order and leave when he was suddenly stopped by me, "Tell them all to come here. They don't have to go to Taihao Palace. It's not convenient for my brother to move."
Jiang Xingze didn't pay attention to these details. The guy paused and said, "Brother, if you want to win at this moment, you can only rely on strong support from outside Quzhou, and I have planned this strong support for brother. Two, one is the Serifolia Sect far away in Fengzhou, and the other is the quite powerful Leling Duan family in Linzi County. With the help of these two families, the Zhao family will quickly collapse under the influence of distant relations, close attacks, and alliances. At that time, brother, you will command The Fourth Army can go to the court and ask for a king of Quzhou. No matter how hard it is, we can still ensure that the Jiang family is in peace. Ahem!"
After saying this in one breath, Jiang Xingze was exhausted, so I quickly gathered my thoughts to help him. When he was better, he said to me, "To win the support of the Duan family, we can follow the original plan and focus on engineering and Xie Wei. Another master was sent to sit in command, and Qingyin Pavilion assisted from the side. He was promised huge profits and asked him to hook up with Linzi's big and small families and attack the Zhao family's rear by water. In such a battle, the Zhao family would definitely withdraw from Fanggu County, either going north or south. Our army went east to seize the port, leaving a way out for those who cannot become king and flee by water in the future!"
I was happy with it silently and made no sound.
Jiang Xingze calmed down and said to me, "As for the Silkworm Gate in Fengzhou, brother, don't worry. I will go to Fengzhou for brother after the injury recovers."
"That's inappropriate!" After hearing this, I felt very anxious and said, "I will not let you go into danger alone! The one who will rule Quzhou with me must be Brother Jiang. If something happens to you, I, the Prime Minister, will , Who should I leave it to?"
"Brother, listen to me!" Jiang Xingze's face turned pale, and his chest was even more fluttering. "Farmers from the sericulture family are all over the world. With the support of farmers, the people's support in Dezhao, Fanggu, Linzi counties and Taihao City will be greatly improved. Stability. Moreover, after Fanggu County is captured, my brother will go south to conquer the five counties of Jiangu, Handan, Xuchang, Huainan, and Huai'an. When the military strength is insufficient, the farmers' children can be recruited into the army for their brothers to drive. Failure to be polite will lead to trouble. I don’t know, this system is a major matter. To surrender the five elders of the peasant family, it is not enough to rely on just one envoy. I have to go in person to be able to deliver the ceremony. Don’t worry, brother, swallows will not enter the sad gate, rats will not exploit the empty warehouse, and the silkworm gate will be with me. I am absolutely sure!"
I remained unmoved and kept shaking my head, "If you are not here, brother, what's the point of me being king!"
Jiang Xingze suddenly became angry, "Confused! If we don't seek help from the Sericulture Sect, it will be difficult for you and me to live well, let alone be kings. This business is not only for you, but also for me, do you understand?"
I remained silent.
Jiang Xingze laughed miserably, "You and I are not born at the right time. If we can catch up with the Qin-Han War more than forty years ago, or the Qin-Han War that may happen a few decades later, it will not be difficult to break the earth and seal the king. Now this road The forked roads are high and low, and the ground is rugged. We need to be brave enough to move forward in order to achieve great things."
Just as I was about to retaliate, Jiang Xingze suddenly grabbed my lapel and said sternly, "Jiang Feng, this is not the time for you and me to talk about brotherhood and the love between children. One general's achievements will cause thousands of bones to wither. Before you become king, no one can You can die, including me! Do you understand?"
I knew that many people would leave me on the road to becoming king, but I never thought that Jiang Xingze would end up like this! Is it wrong for me to aspire to become an emperor in this life?
Just when I was stunned, the guard came inside to report, saying, "Report, all the officials of Taihao City and surrounding areas with more than a thousand stones are waiting outside the door to invite the state."
Lord Mu’s instructions! "
I ordered him to come in. After the guards left, Jiang Xingze said to me, "Brother, if you believe me, don't say anything more for a while. Just give me the power. I will be both good and bad for you."
"It's all up to you, brother."
I slowly helped Jiang Xingze up, being careful on the way, for fear that my hand would be too heavy and might cause him discomfort.
When everyone entered the house, Jiang Xingze specially ordered the maid to discharge the medicine mist so that everyone could see clearly the environment inside the house.
I sat on the corner of the bed, watching more than thirty civil and military officials lined up in front of me, and said coldly, "Today's temporary discussion will be based on Governor Jiang's order. His words are mine."
Everyone below the stairs knew about my relationship with Jiang Xingze. Although they looked at each other, they still agreed unanimously.
Jiang Xingze went straight to the point, "Everyone, our Jiang family has been at war with the Zhao thieves for more than two years. The people are panicked, the people are exhausted, the military strength is gradually running out, and the food and grass are out of stock. As the saying goes, 'The Tao is flexible, the masters are endless, and the world is in chaos. When there is chaos, the time of prosperity will help it prosper. We are planning chaos in the prosperous age, and we are going against the will of heaven. If we continue like this, we are afraid that something will happen. Serious illness requires strong medicine, and I have prepared a good strategy. I would like to announce to everyone here Everyone, please strictly implement it and don’t delay!”
I looked around at everyone again. Those present here are all civil servants and generals who have lived and died with my father for many years. We all have the same interests, ambitions, and loyalty. To put it bluntly, we are all a group of people who are willing to follow the Communist Party in big things and become rebels. Pole, so Jiang Xingze’s words did not arouse anyone’s discomfort.
Everyone was silent, waiting for Jiang Xingze's clever plan.
