Chapter Nine hundred and Thirty-Seven: For the Common People

Huang Huai is dead.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Jingming happily came out of the imperial prison. He saw King Zhu Shi of Zhou at first sight. Zhu Shi looked at him with a smile, like an old friend he had not seen for many years.

Xu Jingming's body was shocked' and immediately realized it.

He couldn't help but burst into tears. He caught the old man Zhou, the saying of the old man, was a little short of that, and most of them died in the imperial prison. It was a pity that the Langsan army would definitely win at this time.

It was precisely because of this that he immediately transformed himself into a top-notch person. Xu Jingming looked at Zhu Xu with a smile, saluted, and said, "The grass-roots Xu Jingming, have seen Your Highness."

Zhu Shi shook his head and said, "Duke Ding does not need to be too polite, nor does he have to belittle himself. The emperor believed in slander before, but he actually collided with Duke Ding. He was really ashamed. Now the traitor has been killed, and his atmosphere has been renewed. It is a joyful congratulation."

Xu Jingming couldn't help but say, "But I don't know who the traitor is? Huang Huai?"

Zhu Shi pursed his lips and smiled faintly, saying: "This old man, I had a few encounters with Hao Zheng and I had a few meetings, and they appreciate each other, but he repeatedly slandered and even the court was deceived, so he did a lot of confused things. Now that I am clear about the origin, I and Your Majesty misbelieve in others' words, it's really...ah..."

His every move was very realistic, but why did Xu Jingming still not understand the truth at this time? He just sneered: "So what are your plans?"

This is the most critical point. Zhu Shi sighed and said, "The winner is the king, and the loser is the enemy. How can I not know these principles? I only hope that the Hao family can open the net. So I invite you to come and hope you will go out of the city to see Hao Fenglou immediately, and see what he means. If he is willing to ensure the safety of the royal family, I am willing to persuade the emperor to open the city and beg for surrender."

So, Xu Jingming set out.

When he arrived in Zhenjiang, the defeated soldiers along the way shocked him. Many new troops were trained by him. Now, seeing their appearance, Xu Jingming couldn't help but feel a little sad. These efforts were vulnerable. Although their defeat was in line with Xu Jingming's interests, he still twitched in his heart.

Outside the city, the Langshan Army was burying the deceased soldiers. Everyone was wearing mourning clothes and looked solemn. Xu Jingming found a garrison soldier to explain his purpose. After a while, he was invited into a deserted camp outside the city.

When he saw Hao Fenglou again, Hao Fenglou was wearing a mourning clothes and looked tired. He only glanced at Xu Jingming and said, "Are you back?"

Xu Jingming said with a little respect: "Yes, I am so lucky to be humble. I finally come back alive. Your Highness, how about you?"

"What do you think?" Hao Fenglou asked back.

Xu Jing was obviously disappointed. He looked at Hao Fenglou, but there was not much expression on Hao Fenglou's face, but there was sadness in the corners of his eyes, so he had to say, "Congratulations to Your Highness. Congratulations to Your Highness for defeating the Ming army in Zhenjiang, which made Jinling scared. When he was humble, he was asked by the King of Zhou. The King of Zhou begged Your Highness to open the city gate. As long as Your Highness is willing to nod, they will immediately open the city gate and be willing to surrender."

Hao Fenglou narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "If you have a net, how can you explain to them a few days ago?"

"..." Xu Jingming was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, do you still have to fight? If you fight again, you really don't know how many more people will die. Besides, the court does not surrender, then there are still countless remaining Ming troops everywhere. Your Highness conquered Jinling, and you will have to fight the north and the west. In this way, will you not be more deceased people who die not want to contradict Your Highness. You just think that if you fight, someone will have to die in the war. Some words may be inappropriate. However, Your Highness and the lowly are also brothers. This person was indeed good at calculating in the past, but since he was in the imperial prison and tortured, Your Highness, I have realized it. Now I have really realized it, so I just think it's a courageous move, so I just say it."

Speaking of this, Xu Jingming paused for a moment before continuing: "Your Highness feels sorry for the dead soldiers. Of course, it's a pity, but what can you do? People cannot be resurrected. The only thing Your Highness does is to build temples for them, build temples, supplement their families, and feed their children. Your Highness has many things to do. Now the world is full of holes and can't be beaten to death anymore. Your Highness is now the crown prince, but in the future, it is the emperor. It is time to prepare for the future. The people need to rest and recuperate, and the soldiers should also be discharged from their families and return to their fields. Your Highness, now is different from the past. What I thought was to get the sky immediately.

Next, but now it is time to rule the world immediately. How can you be emotionally ruling? How can you start the battle just because of your own selfishness? Xu Jingming…” Xu Jingming…” Xu Jingming became more and more excited as he spoke, and said, “When I was in prison, I looked back on my life and thought about it carefully. To put it bluntly, I am really not a damn thing, but Your Highness is different. Xu Jingming has a great harm to others in this life, but Your Highness has a heavy burden on his shoulders. Your Highness wants to establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints, and open peace for the whole world. Since this is the case, how can you have a personal relationship?”

"From now on, Your Highness is not just the commander of the Lang Shan army, but the commander of the world's troops. Your Highness is not just the crown prince of Liang Shan, but the crown prince of the world. How could Your Highness kill his subjects and soldiers just because of his own subjects and soldiers?"

Taking a deep breath, Xu Jingming continued, "Some things are called bystanders Qing. I know that Your Highness is still full of righteous indignation and still has hatred in his heart, but I will only say the last paragraph, Your Highness, a few days ago, you stood on the mountainside, and what you saw and what you saw were the scene on the mountainside. Now, you are standing on the top of Mount Tai, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are all in the eyes of Your Highness. All the people you see are all the subjects of Your Highness. Your Highness, do you still have to let yourself

Is it enough for the subjects to kill their own subjects and let their world start war? It's enough, and today, it's enough. The world has been decided and the outcome has been decided. Although we can't meet each other and forget each other at first sight, but since the previous page has been turned over, why should you look back? People... after all, you have to look forward. The humble words have been finished, and it's not easy to say. Your Highness holds the humble power of life and death, which cuts down my head, Xu Jingming's head, and the humble has nothing to say."

Hao Fenglou couldn't help but be moved. He suddenly discovered a truth. It was really terrible for a person who was not very tuned to talk about the big truth seriously.

Just Xu Jingming's words make sense?

He was still in a bad mood with his hands behind his back, but suddenly, he smiled.

"What you said seems to make sense, and now is different from the past. By the way, you are fine, have you been sentenced to the imperial prison, have you suffered any suffering there?"

Xu Jingming suddenly showed pain and said, "Your Highness, humble...humble..." At this point, Xu Jingming began to cry loudly: "Your Highness is really a life-threatening life, I almost can't see Your Highness anymore. Those guys are really not things. They tortured me every day, dripped candles on me, and... also tied me up with a whip..."

Hao Fenglou asked, "Have you taken off your clothes and poured dogwood water into your anus?"

Xu Jingming raised his eyes and said in surprise: "Your Highness is really a clever plan, and he has no choice but to do it. How come he even knows this?"

Hao Fenglou sighed and said in shame: "This is all invented by me."

"Your Highness, Shengming..." Xu Jingming couldn't help but laugh.

Hao Fenglou helped him up and said, "You have suffered, but don't worry, I will remember your contributions in my heart, get up."

Xu Jingming slowly stood up. Since Hao Fenglou promised, he finally felt relieved.

Hao Fenglou suddenly looked at him, and he thought of a scene a long time ago. At that time, he and Zhu Gaosui, who was the King of Zhao, fled to Peiping together. They were sitting on the canal boat. He once remembered that Zhu Gaosui once looked at him very seriously and asked him, are we friends? What was Hao Fenglou's answer? He couldn't even remember it clearly because his impression of this person was gradually blurred, and even Hao Fenglou could not recognize it clearly. He also looked at Xu Jingming sideways and said, "Xu Jingming, you and I have become sworn brothers. I want to ask you, are we... friends?"

Xu Jingming had just breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw Hao Fenglou ask this, he was shocked and quickly bowed again in panic: "Your Highness... how dare you..."

Hao Fenglou smiled, laughing a little sadly.

Yes, he has never had friends in the past, now, or in the future. Even if he had... had such a little fantasy, dreams would always wake up. Is this a great mission given to heaven? Or... destined?

His eyes became deep and cold. In fact, many times, even he himself had forgotten when he was always so deep, always showing majesty at all times, no longer being joking, no longer showing emotions. He just glanced at Xu Jingming deeply and said lightly: "Is the Empress Dowager okay?"

Xu Jingming nodded and said, "Your Highness, it's very good."

Hao Fenglou said with a faint smile: "Oh, it seems that in a few days, I should go to Wanshou Palace to meet you."

"Your Highness means that in a few days... accept the King of Zhou..."

Hao Fenglou's eyes were a little cold, and his face showed majestic expression: "I am the crown prince of the world. Since Zhu's family declined and Hao's family should prosper, so I naturally have to take the people of the world as my thoughts." (To be continued)
