The return of the first daughter

After reading the letter, General Zheng was extremely complicated and entangled.

On the one hand, he had great respect for Mo Li and Prince Mo's Mansion, and he also remembered the kindness that Grandpa Han Jiangxue had shown him, so he understood more clearly that the emperor's actions were really unreasonable, and even disliked and disgusted him.

In his opinion, the emperor's targeting at Mo Li and wanting to clear Prince Mo's mansion all the time, is really unpopular, not to mention that the civil strife is so serious now, and the people are already in dire straits. The imperial court didn't bother to do more meaningful and practical things for the common people, but spent so much manpower, material and financial resources on eradicating a mansion of Prince Mo who worked so hard to vindicate the civil strife.

All of this made General Zheng quite dissatisfied with Li Qing's actions deep in his heart, and he became more and more disappointed with the current Li family. This kind of uprightness and acknowledgment of death has played a repressive role, no matter how many complaints there are, it will not be easily shaken or betrayed.

Of course, General Zheng also understood that Mo Li did not ask him to do those outrageous things, but only hoped that he could turn a blind eye and close his eyes to give some convenience to the people in Prince Mo's Mansion. After all, during the whole incident Well, Prince Mo's Mansion didn't really do anything wrong, and there's no reason why they didn't do anything when they knew there was a disaster coming, and just let others slaughter them like this.

But the problem is, General Zheng also understands that no matter whether Prince Mo's mansion is forced or not, after this incident, it is impossible for the Mohist family to coexist peacefully with the Li family, so if he agrees to help Mo Li, it's okay.In fact, it is planting a major hidden danger for the court.

……

In just a short while, a series of running thoughts kept turning over in General Zheng's mind, making him more and more entangled.

Originally, he was not the kind of person who procrastinated, but this matter was too special, not to mention that he didn't want to be vague about the past. After all, no matter what decision he made, he would ultimately have to bear the responsibility for his decision. All Liability and Consequences.

It's not that he doesn't know the trade-offs because of his own interests. If he is really that kind of person, things will be easier.Precisely because he is not that kind of person.So this will be the unspeakable entanglement.

Seeing General Zheng's unpredictable expression, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If the person agreed easily, then it would be out of character, and it would be difficult for people to believe that the person's answer was true or false.Only people who are really responsible for their own decisions will be so entangled, and usually such people are completely trustworthy once they make a decision.

At this moment, Han Jiangxue finally understood.I chose to find General Zheng because Bao Moli would abandon the leaders of the other two groups in the three-way army. Those two people are obviously much easier to buy in terms of character, but such people are not worth it at such an important moment. This kind of trust related to life and death.

She used to only know that General Zheng had been favored and promoted by her grandfather, but she didn't know much about this man's character. Even if she heard Mo Li mention it later, it was just a rumor after all, and now she saw it with her own eyes. .It can be regarded as a real relief.

As Mo Li said, such a person.Even if he refuses, it is impossible to report to Li Qing, which is especially important.

After a while, General Zheng ended the extremely tangled struggle first, turned to look at Han Jiangxue and said, "Princess, this matter... I will need a little more work to think about it, you see..."

"This matter is of great importance. General Zheng should be more cautious." Han Jiangxue did not appear too disappointed, but smiled and said: "General, don't worry. No matter what decision you make on this matter, we can understand it." , After all, your position and situation are here, so the general doesn’t have to bear too much burden. If the general is willing to help, it’s a great favor, and if you don’t help, it’s justified.”

Seeing Han Jiangxue being so reasonable, General Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, but became more respectful: "Thank you, Princess, for your understanding, I will definitely consider this matter carefully, of course, please rest assured, Princess, no matter what, this matter will never happen." Say it to anyone else."

"Jiang Xue can trust the general's character." Han Jiangxue said with a smile: "However, this matter is imminent, and we don't have much time to wait. My attendants and I will take a step first, and we will go back later." Rest at the gazebo by the side of the road one mile ahead. If the general has made a decision, please find someone to write me a few words whether it is OK or not. We will leave in an hour. If the general does not want to be with you anymore We can contact, I can understand. Anyway, thank you General no matter what!"

Speaking of this, Han Jiangxue didn't say anything else anymore, nodded slightly, then turned around and left quickly, took Dongling and Beifeng to the agreed pavilion to wait, and didn't bother General Zheng anymore .

An hour is not too short. Although it is difficult for General Zheng to make a decision, if he cannot make a final decision within an entire hour, then no matter how much effort is given to him, the result will be the same.

What's more, Han Jiangxue has other things to deal with for Mo Li, and she can't delay, and she can only set aside so much time.

General Zheng's place is very important for Mo Li and the Mohists to take the first step in the smooth evacuation of the capital, but Mo Li always prepares multiple retreat routes when doing things, and he will never be able to force himself into a road. die.

Therefore, if General Zheng can be persuaded here, it will naturally be a great benefit, and it will save Mo Li's entire plan from taking many unnecessary detours, but if it cannot be formed, then there are other options, but relatively speaking As a result, even fewer members of the Mo family can survive.

But there are many things that can’t be helped. It’s up to people to plan things, and it’s up to God to make things happen. Whether it’s Mo Li or Han Jiangxue, they have done everything that can be done, and what will happen in the end is not something they can completely control.

Just after Han Jiangxue left with others, General Zheng sighed a long time, his expression obviously still tangled.

After staying in place for a while, he didn't stay any longer. After thinking about it, he left the creek, walked out of the grove, and walked slowly towards the tea shed that Han Jiangxue had been to before.

After a while, there was still no business coming to the tea shed. The old couple, the boss and the proprietress, were discussing whether to close the shop earlier, so as to prepare for the [-]th day of the day after tomorrow.

Although life is not rich now, they still have a good time. Although they have no children, they still have a few relatives, and they have to move around all year round to have fun.

"Uncle Cui, Aunt Cui, are you going to close the door?"

General Zheng walked over, and he seemed to be very familiar with the old couple in the tea shed. Seeing that the door was about to close, he was not in a hurry to go in again, but asked on the side of the road.

Seeing that General Zheng was here, the old couple were very happy, and hurriedly greeted him to come in and sit down: "General Zheng, you are here, come in and sit for a while, we are not in a hurry to close the door."

The old couple knew General Zheng a long time ago, because this general is completely different from other officials. Not only does he have no airs at all, but he is also very approachable, and he doesn't dislike the shabby place and the rough tea. , on the contrary, in order to take care of their business, he would come over to sit with them when there is nothing to do, and chat with them, he is really a good person!

Hearing that the door was not closed so quickly, General Zheng came in and sat down.The proprietress served him a pot of tea, and said that he was late for a while, and that he had finished the pancakes he had made before, and was going to make some for General Zheng, because General Zheng liked to eat her pancakes the most on weekdays. .

"Aunt Cui, don't bother, I'm still full, and I won't be polite to you when I want to eat." General Zheng called to stop the proprietress, and didn't ask anyone to bother, not to mention that he is still conflicted. I don't have much in mind to eat.

The old couple could tell at a glance that General Zheng had something on his mind, but because their identities were inconvenient, they didn't ask any more questions, they just wanted to talk about other things so that General Zheng wouldn't think too much.

"Since you are still full, I won't do it, auntie." The proprietress said with a smile: "You are not lucky today. I originally made two more, afraid that you would come, but I didn't see it. You. Later, a beautiful lady came in to rest and drink tea, and gave them cakes."

"That's right, that lady is really a good person. We all said that there is no money for the cake, but only tea money. As a result, she not only paid for the tea money, but when we were not paying attention, she asked her entourage to give it to us when we were not paying attention. There are quite a few taels of silver on the counter."

Uncle Cui, the boss, said with emotion: "Hey, how much are two pancakes worth? That lady is clearly taking care of our old couple just like you, General Zheng. Good people, you are all good people!"

"Isn't that right? Although the madam doesn't look rich or distinguished, she can tell by her demeanor that she is not an ordinary person." The proprietress observed carefully, and said with emotion: "Under the world, If more powerful and powerful people could be as kind as that lady, and be kind and merciful to ordinary people like us, the world today would not be so difficult, and the lives of the people would not be so sad! See Look at the current imperial court, how does it take the life and death of the poor people seriously!"

Because she didn't regard General Zheng as an outsider, the proprietress didn't have too many scruples when she spoke, and General Zheng didn't care about other things at all when he heard this. Can't help but stunned. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
