"I have met him and spoken to him a few words."

"What? Who are you meeting?"

"Mrs. Wang's youngest son, Wang Yu."

Not far from the Control Yuan, there is a corner of a breakfast shop.

After ordering breakfast, Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen sat down just now. At this point in the conversation, the atmosphere fell into silence.

Until the owner of the breakfast shop trotted over and brought two bowls of spicy soup and five pieces of sesame oil cakes... two for him and three for her. Yes, Rong Zhen looked petite, but his appetite was bigger than him.

Ouyang Rong thanked him, turned around, glanced at Rong Zhen who seemed to be distracted, and asked softly:

"Then what."

"On the evening when Mrs. Wang's house caught fire, I went to her house and advised her...

"Wang Yu was next to Mrs. Wang at that time and chatted with him for a few words. I felt like he was buried in his studies, an honest and cowardly young man, but also very filial.

"That's right, filial piety. I was still thinking about this at the time, because Mrs. Wang's other two sons didn't come, and only this youngest son was taking care of me."

Rong Zhen stared at the sesame cakes without moving his hands to eat. He allowed the hot cakes to cool down and continued:

"But such a young man who was so honest yesterday did not hesitate to jump off the Buddha in the sun. Although he had drunk alcohol, he was obviously weak-tempered...

"Ouyang Lianghan, I don't quite understand."

"You have to understand."

Ouyang Rong picked up the spicy soup and took a calm sip.

Rong Zhen said word for word:

"Ouyang Lianghan, I don't believe that Wang Yu and Mrs. Wang were instigated by the Kuangfu Army rebels. I don't believe what Wang Lengran reported and complained about."

"I don't believe it either."

Rong Zhen took a deep breath:

"I still don't understand why a wise man like a saint wants to protect Lin Cheng... even if he does, why he ignores this matter and doesn't mention the Wang family at all.

"Ouyang Lianghan, the old lady of the Wang family talked a lot about the Gao Zong Dynasty. She didn't mean any disrespect towards the Zhou Dynasty and the saints. On the contrary, she supported the saints very much.

"But this is the home of the good people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it was forced into this state, and the family was ruined."

Ouyang Rong reached out and gestured to the plate of sesame cakes. Rong Zhen reacted and silently picked up a piece of cake. With a dazed look on his face, he took a small bite of the cake.

Ouyang Rong then said softly:

"When a speck of dust of the times falls on their heads, it is like a big mountain. But not many people care.

"We may be counted as two. The only thing we can do is to try to avoid these."

"Try to avoid it..." Rong Zhen murmured, and couldn't help but raise his head and ask:

"So you didn't consider Xingzifang at all, but chose to dig out the twin peaks and build the Xunyang Grottoes? Are you also afraid of this kind of thing? You don't want to become a mountain that weighs on their heads and sacrifice them in the name of statues?"

Ouyang Rong lowered his head and drank spicy soup without saying a word.

Rong Zhen's face was as cold as ice:

"I am getting more and more angry now that I think about Lin Cheng, this opportunistic jester who confuses the Holy Heart..."

"History of Rong Women."

Ouyang Rong suddenly put down the bowl and shouted softly.

"What's wrong?" Rong Zhen asked confused.

Ouyang Rong looked into her eyes and asked:

"Do you still think that His Majesty was bewitched by Lin Cheng and other subordinates to build the statue in Xingzifang, and that he was kept in the dark about these things about the Wang family and had no knowledge at all?"

Rong Zhen was silent for a long time and asked:

"What does Ouyang Changshi mean?"

"Didn't Rong Nushi always say that everyone has selfish motives? Isn't your Majesty not a human being?"

"What's the meaning?"

"The meaning is very simple, saints also have selfish motives."

Rong Zhen subconsciously retorted:

"The saint is the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Our monarch thinks about the great Zhou Dynasty and the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Isn't her selfishness the same as the public heart of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"It depends on the order. Whether the selfishness of tens of thousands of people is gathered into the heart of one person, or whether the heart of one person directly replaces the hearts of millions of people. Should it be top-down or bottom-up?

of……

"The difference is earth-shaking. What kind of situation does Rong Nu Shi think the current situation is?"

Rong Zhen fell silent, speechless.

She took a deep breath, turned serious, and warned:

"Ouyang Lianghan, please don't spread these words out. Just say them in front of me. I'll pretend you didn't hear them today...

"No matter what, the sage is the king of Zhou Dynasty and considers the overall situation... Besides, this time between you and the Xunyang Palace, the sage also has the intention of protecting you. It shows that the sage is not stupid, and he still knows who is an upright minister."

Ouyang Rong was noncommittal.

Rong Zhen stared at him for a while, and his voice softened unconsciously:

"Ouyang Lianghan, you have to learn to protect yourself, do you understand?"

When Ouyang Rong heard this, he turned around and saw Rong Zhen looking away and saying:

"We can't... we can't let villains like Lin Cheng steal high positions."

"Thank you Rong Nu Shi for trusting me. I'm just a little flattered. I don't understand why Rong Nu Shi trusts and values ​​me so much."

Rong Zhen suddenly said: "Ouyang Lianghan, do you know that you actually have a breath of energy in your body?"

"What...what's wrong with you?"

Ouyang Rong paused slightly and asked calmly.

Rong Zhen didn't notice, and his little face still said seriously:

"A special energy, like the aura of awe-inspiring righteousness, the aura of a gentleman's injustice, the aura of a dragon lurking in the abyss...

"But it's usually invisible. Only at special times... For example, when you were in Xunyangdu and you refused to obey the imperial edict in public, I could faintly see it on you...

"You can't deceive anyone with this energy, so I trust you when it comes to asking for orders for the people."

Ouyang Rong was dumbfounded, and immediately thought of his characteristic of hiding wind and absorbing energy.

In the past, when he wore a bronze mask and appeared as the owner of Dielianhua, Rong Zhen probably didn't notice this aura. So far, he probably just missed the literary aura.

The Qi that Rong Zhen saw in him should be the same kind of "Qi" that his junior sister saw in him back in Longcheng County.

"Ouyang Lianghan, why don't you speak?"

"fine."

Ouyang Rong came to his senses and was awakened by the crisp sound of wooden fish in his ears.

He couldn't help but glance at Rong Zhen, who looked concerned in front of him.

Why increase his merit again?

Ouyang Rong should be happy that this Rongnushi has contributed so much merit, but for some reason, he feels a little nervous...

He quickly changed the topic and said seriously:

"The same goes for Rong Nu Shi. Sympathy is sympathy, and you have to protect yourself. No matter what, since the Xingzifang statue is being made this time, Your Majesty will still keep you and give you the opportunity of the Yin Yang Family's promotion ceremony. You must take advantage of it."

"What Yin Yang family promotion ceremony?"

Rong Zhen is confused.

Ouyang Rong frowned further: "Inspecting the construction of the Giant Buddha in Jiangzhou is not completing a ceremony for your Yin-Yang family Qi practitioners?"

"Who said that?"

"Forest……"

Ouyang Rong got stuck on his words and swallowed them back.

He lowered his eyes and said: "I heard someone say that there are four important places for the Buddha statues in the four directions, and Rong Nushi occupies one of them."

Rong Zhen nodded first, then shook his head:

"Being able to supervise the Donglin Giant Buddha is indeed a special quota, which is good, but we need to wait until the giant Buddha is built.

"Besides, you have also seen that before the Donglin Giant Buddha, it was all done by you. I only occasionally walked around and inspected it and did not participate in it.

"Now that Lin Cheng is erecting a statue in Xingzifang, I also don't worry about specific matters.

"How can we achieve a promotion ceremony with the help of its 'Qi' without deep participation? It's simply nonsense.

"I came to Xunyang City not for this so-called promotion ceremony. How can it be so easy to reach the top rank?"
