Chapter 427: The Burden of the World!
From the moment Tang Ye entered the red wall, it meant that he was almost standing in front of all the young people in Yanjing City. In addition to the few young people who his own family spent countless energy cultivating, Wen Zhongyuan, Dong Tiancheng, Du Bugou, and Song Yu, he was the first person to be summoned by the Son of Heaven on the Red Wall. The weight of this matter is not at all imaginable by ordinary people.
Obviously, Tang Ye was already standing very tall, and those peers might have to bow their heads and leave when they saw him. Of course, the circle of people has always been hierarchical. People with high status will bump into people with high status, so that they can get started. Otherwise, people with high status run to people with low status, which is called pretending. People with low status are not willing to get into the circle of high status, otherwise they will wait to be bullied?
Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped. So now Tang Ye rarely has the opportunity to play with those little gangsters. The people he faced were all extremely capable people like Wen Zhongyuan and Dong Tiancheng.
Guan Lang did not follow Wang Airen and Tang Ye into the Red Wall Palace, and stayed in the car to wait. This old man was also full of sadness, and the disease that occurred in the far north had Wang Pujia, who he cared about very much. He hoped that Wang Pujia would not have an accident, and hoped that Tang Ye could solve it and bring Wang Pujia back by the way.
Tang Ye held an umbrella for Wang Airen, although Wang Airen was a mighty general in the past, but he was in his twilight years, and it was inevitable that he would be rickety. Tang Ye is in the prime of life, much taller than Wang Airen. The two walked forward slowly, looking from behind, like a grandson holding an umbrella for his grandfather, which was quite warm and warm.
Wang Airen walked smoothly and said to Tang Ye: "It is very likely that you are going to the far north border." ”
"Hmm. Tang Ye replied softly.
Wang Airen smiled and said, "Running around, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Tang Ye thought for a moment and said, "Before I go, there will probably be a little." But after a few times of this kind of thing, I found that after I went, I felt more comfortable. ”
"Why?" Wang Airen asked with a smile, like a loving grandfather chatting with his obedient grandson.
Tang Ye laughed out loud and said, "Probably because I have a peace of mind, and my thoughts are also clear, I won't be uncomfortable." Since I have taken this road and been entrusted by others, it is better to do what I can do. For example, this time, if I go and get rid of the threat of disease in the Far North, I will be very reassured. And if I don't go, even if I didn't do anything wrong, I don't need to take any responsibility, but the Far North garrison has killed a lot of compatriots, I won't be at ease, I will blame myself. And even if I go and something happens, then my mood will not be guilty. ”
Wang Airen stopped, looked at Tang Ye, patted Tang Ye on the shoulder, and only said one word, "Okay." ”
In the red-walled court, the red lights decorated with lanterns are not extinguished all night. Tang Ye followed Wang Airen through the magnificent palace gate, walked through the vicissitudes of the noon gate, walked through the Taihe Square paved with ancient stone bricks, walked through the straight corridor, and finally arrived at the place not a glorious palace, but a small house with red walls and blue tiles and neatly arranged.
The red-walled and blue-tiled houses here are the places where those red-walled old men usually stay, where they deal with the big and small things of the country, maintain the operation of the country, and lead the country to prosperity.
Tang Ye noticed that around the small house with red walls and blue tiles, there was a strong aura, as if there were countless fierce beasts staring at it. These breaths come from those old worshippers on the red wall, and they are all people with great strength. Their duty is to protect every brick and tile here, not to mention people, not even a single stone.
Tang Ye continued to follow Wang Airen in, and when he passed by those small houses with red walls and blue tiles, he saw that they were all old men who were concentrating on processing documents or discussing countermeasures. Some of them were tired from being busy, so they looked outside to ease their tired eyes. Seeing Tang Ye, they all smiled gently and nodded at Tang Ye.
Tang Ye felt flattered, and hurriedly nodded with a light smile and went back. He saw several old people he knew, the ones he knew when he cured Guan Tieti, the martial artist's mentor, last time.
"It's here. When he walked to the last small house with red walls and blue tiles, Wang Airen said softly.
Tang Ye stood behind Wang Airen, keeping quiet, without any other movements, waiting for the Son of Heaven inside to speak.
The door of the room slowly opened, and out came a hunchbacked old man who had lived for an unknown number of years. The hunchbacked old man smiled lightly, was approachable, nodded to Wang Airen and Tang Ye, and then turned sideways and motioned for the two to go in.
Tang Ye followed Wang Airen in, and under the light inside, there was a middle-aged man who was as graceful as a dragon, even if he sat upright, he was like looking at the world. He's not the old man. He was closing his eyes and recuperating in his own air, and although he was sitting on a simple wooden chair, he felt that he was extremely burly, like sitting on the dragon chair of the ancient emperor, looking down on the people who had submitted to him.
He is the Son of Heaven in the Red Wall.
Tang Ye is no stranger to him, because when watching the news, he will always see interviews with leaders of other countries, group photos, etc. It's just that when you see it up close, it feels a little unreal.
He opened his eyes, saw Wang Airen and Tang Ye, smiled, and said politely to Wang Airen: "Elder Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
He looked at Tang Ye again, smiled easily, and said, "The kid surnamed Tang has finally met you face to face." ”
Tang Ye was stunned, the kid surnamed Tang?
He really didn't expect this Son of Heaven in the Red Wall to call him that. He was very embarrassed, and nodded to the first-class big man in front of him very much, and he didn't know how to put his hands and feet.
This first-class big man knew Tang Ye's psychology very well, and said, "It must be very nervous, right? Yes, this kind of atmosphere is not suitable for young people. Except for the young people of the Dong family, the Wen family, the Du family and the Song family, who were trained by their families early to be old-fashioned and able to adapt, there are no other young people who can adapt. As for you, you should be able to adapt, but being able to adapt doesn't mean you like it. With your temperament, you'll never like this kind of atmosphere. ”
The big man said it, obviously knowing Tang Ye very well.
Tang Ye really didn't know what to say. He no longer embarrassed Tang Ye, and said, "If you don't like it, don't force it, let's just talk about a few things." Let's just say it, don't be verbose. First, we must go to the Far North border tomorrow and keep the Far North garrison. If you fail, I will not punish you, however, this country will punish you. I don't need to say more about luck. You're the one who shouldered the luck of this country."
Wang Airen's body was shocked, and he wanted to say something to this red-walled emperor. Isn't it too fast and too hasty to hand over the luck of the country to Tang Ye?
But the Son of Heaven of the Red Wall waved his hand, and without Wang Airen saying more, he continued: "As for the Xuanhuang plan, the things that the minister of the dragon is planning, I don't agree. But I can't remove the power from them. They have penetrated too widely, and once they move, the whole world has to move, and I can't move, and the red wall can't move, do you understand?"
Tang Ye's expression was solemn and he nodded slightly.
Indeed, the ministers of Fulong have infiltrated the court since the beginning of the ancient kingdoms of the past dynasties, and they are extremely widely distributed and cannot be moved at all. The red wall was tied hand and foot from the beginning. The only thing the Red Wall can do now is to keep the eleven pieces of ancient jade seals safe.
The Red Wall Son continued: "The Far North garrison has a considerable part of the national fortune, and it is necessary to ensure safety, otherwise one side will be chaotic and the world will be chaotic. After you solved the problem over there, you came back immediately. What you do this time will determine the direction of the whole world in the future. Got it?"
Tang Ye nodded heavily, and did not say a word from beginning to end.
He knew that the red-walled emperor in front of him was in control of everything, but this red-walled emperor was tied hand and foot, and someone had to help open the predicament little by little.
The Red Wall Heavenly Son summoned Tang Ye, which was a symbolic event. This means that Dong Tiancheng, Du Bugou and Song Yu were directly relegated to the second line. However, the three men faced their situation and made different decisions.
That night, Dong Tiancheng and Dong Miaoyan braved the rain overnight to go to the royal garden, waiting for Tang Ye to come back from the red wall. And Twilight Bugou was alone at home, looking gloomy, and no one went to see him. As for Song Yu of the Song family, he went to see Wen Zhongyuan overnight!
Tang Ye and Wang Airen walked out of the red-walled palace together, Wang Airen patted Tang Ye's shoulder again, and said softly: "Do you think this burden is too heavy?"
"Sort of. Tang Ye lowered his head and said softly.
