Chapter Ninety-Eight: I Am No Longer Me

Ten miles away from Beijing, a lonely small pavilion, standing on the side of the road, this looks a little dilapidated small pavilion, but in countless years, left countless popular articles and poems, as time goes by, his fame is getting bigger and bigger, after Cangsang it, I have seen too much or sad or generous farewell, of course, there is also joy to welcome.

Ten miles of long pavilion, a view of Beijing.

Today, although the weather is excellent, it is obvious that the Changting Pavilion is not a suitable place to play and watch, because there is martial law here, and the Son of Heaven in Beijing personally guards the 3,000 people of the Huofeng Army, and surrounds this place. And the people they protect are now sitting in the pavilion.

The four pillars are covered with green yarns, which not only shield the sun from the dust, but also block the view from afar.

Min Ruoying, who had just been canonized as a prince by the Great Chu Emperor, and was temporarily imprisoned because of the emperor's health, in a practical sense, Min Ruoying is now a real and nameless emperor in the Chu State. He is full of opportunities, and he deliberately went out of the city today to greet him, and he is naturally an extremely important person.

Princess Zhaohua returned to Beijing today.

The Great Chu Emperor Min Wei, Wenzhi and martial arts, are the most praised emperors in the past dynasties of the Great Chu Dynasty, but it is very difficult to get two sons and one daughter, and the second son Min Ruoying and the third daughter Min Ruoxi are all from the queen's knees.

"Your Highness the Prince, they're almost there." An Ruhai raised his head, stared into the distance through the light veil, and said softly to Min Ruoying. An Ruhai is a good player at the peak of the ninth level, but Min Ruoying in front of him, although he is just over thirty years old, has also stepped into the threshold of the ninth level, but he rarely makes a move, so that the outside world does not know his details at all. What An Ruhai can perceive, of course he can also perceive.

"Commander An, after they arrive in a while, that Qin Feng will be handed over to you." Min Ruoying said.

"Yes!" An Ruhai was silent for a moment, "His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise, it will be a hundred, and after I bring him back, I will kill him directly." Judging from the information obtained along the way, I am afraid that the princess is very infatuated with this person, and if it drags on for a long time, let the princess know, I am afraid that some incidents will arise. ”

Min Ruoying smiled, "I understand what you mean, Commander An, are you afraid that because of this Qin Feng, you will affect the relationship between our brothers and sisters, so you want to carry this black cauldron yourself, but aren't you afraid that Xi'er will hate you in the future?" ”

An Ruhai shook his head, "Don't be afraid, for the sake of Your Highness, it doesn't hurt to carry the black cauldron on your back!" Moreover, after a long time, the princess will finally understand my good intentions. ”

Min Ruoxi looked at An Ruhai sideways, An Ruhai didn't look at him, his cold face kept looking at the end of the road, Min Ruoying knew that An Ruhai was willing to carry the black pot for himself, not that he wanted to pat his own ass, in fact, An Ruhai would not pat himself at all, his father was right, An Ruhai was in a sense, he was the house slave of the Min dynasty, he became the crown prince and became the emperor of Great Chu just around the corner, An Ruhai just began to transfer his loyalty to his father to himself, in other words, If it were my brother sitting here today, he would have said the same thing.

"Commander An, you can be regarded as watching me grow up, right?" Min Ruoying asked suddenly.

An Ruhai was slightly stunned, turned his head sideways, looked at Min Ruoying, and said with a smile for a while: "Yes, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born, I was only in my early twenties, and I just served as a guard in front of His Majesty." When you were born, you weighed eight pounds, and I remember that His Majesty was very happy at that time, and rewarded me with a jade Ruyi. ”

"When I was a child, I was naughty, wasn't I?" Min Ruoying asked with a smile.

An Ruhai hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Royal Highness was indeed very naughty when he was a child, it is best to fight, once because the prince, no, it was Min Ruocheng who was bullied in the academy and almost crippled the grandson of the powerful Zuo Xiang at that time, in my memory, you are almost a small fight every three days, a big fight in five days, and the two days in between, you are being punished by Your Majesty." ”

Min Ruoying laughed, looked at An Ruhai, shook her head and said, "Commander An, how did you learn to beat around the bush, don't say it, it's really ingenious, who taught you?" ”

An Ruhai's black face looked even darker, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Min Ruoying stopped suddenly, raised her hand, and stopped what An Ruhai wanted to say next: "Commander An, you are an old minister who watched me grow up, my father trusts you and I trust you as much, you can actually tell me directly, you are different from others." ”

An Ruhai lowered his head.

"I know what you're trying to say!" Min Ruoying's expression looked a little sad, but it was extremely resolute, "We have all grown up, the innocence of the past, will never come back, I am now trying to forget these pasts, Commander An, I am no longer the boy who went to fight for my brother or sister who was bullied." If I want to achieve my dream, I have to be someone else. A ruthless man. By the time I decided to go down this path, I wasn't me anymore. ”

Seeing An Ruhai want to speak and stop, Min Ruoying said: "Uncle An, I know that you are not used to it, or you are very cold, and even look down on or hate me, but I have never regretted it, if you want to do a career like Emperor Li Qing, what are you afraid of with some blood on your hands?" Now is just the beginning, I am afraid that there will be blood and pestle in the future, the Western Frontier Army is just a stepping stone for me to take the first step, I will not forget the sacrifices they made, but I do not regret doing it. ”

"I don't need your understanding, but I need you to still support me."

After listening to Min Ruoying's words, An Ruhai nodded, "No matter what His Highness has done, since you are already the crown prince canonized by His Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor in the future, of course I will do my best to support you." ”

Min Ruoying had a smile on her face, clapped her hands and smiled: "Okay, I'm waiting for your words." But Uncle An, I want to move you to a place, this has nothing to do with trust, but another place that needs you to sit more. ”

"Your Highness is talking about the western border." An Ruhai asked.

"Heroes see the same thing." Min Ruoying laughed and said: "Without Zuo Lixing in the west, without the western border army, it has been completely chaotic, if you want to repeat the situation when Zuo Shuai was there, it will take at least five to ten years of effort, and this also requires a person whose ability is not inferior to Zuo Shuai to go there, and you, Uncle An, are not only in ability, but also in prestige, are the most suitable candidates." ”

An Ruhai sighed, he knew this was the case, why bother in the first place, how many manpower, material resources, and how many lives would be killed and injured in ten years before the Western Qin people could be driven out of the Luoying Mountains again.

"Your Highness, rest assured, An Ruhai will do his best to fulfill your entrustment."

"Good! When you get there, people, money, and things, you just have to open your mouth, as long as it is what your Uncle An wants, I will give you what you want. Min Ruoying said: "When this matter is done, you will go to work." This Qin Feng must die, but he can't be lynched to death, he and the crime of the death camp must be announced to the world, and then the name is justified, as for Xi'er, I will find a way, she is the daughter of the Min family, and she must be distinguished. She is my sister-in-law, I don't believe that Qin Feng is in her heart, and I weigh heavily in her heart. ”
