Chapter 349: The best way to get the best of both worlds
Chapter 349: The best of both worlds
When Zuo Aoran saw that it was Wang Yun, he was so frightened that he broke away. Zuo Aoran understood that the Ling Emperor Liu Hong knew that he was dead, and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty knew that he was dead. Now I am alive again. This is cheating death and hiding one's name.
For your crime, not only will your head be handed over, but your whole family will be beheaded! This is incredible!
Zuo Aoran broke free and was about to run away. At this moment, He Jin was blocking the door. When he saw Zuo Aoran, he said excitedly: "Oh! My niece-in-law! You really want to kill me, general!"
When Zuo Aoran saw that it was General He Jin, he was dumbfounded and kowtowed quickly: "The common people are guilty and deserve death."
As soon as General He Jin saw that his niece-in-law was alive, he forgot everything, helped Zuo Aoran up and said: "My niece-in-law, get up quickly, get up."
"If you have anything to say, let's go to the front and talk. This is no place for talking. It's so dark. What's the point? Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!" Wang Yun said.
As soon as the three of them came out of the cellar, they bumped into Princess Jingming Liu Ming. They bumped into each other. Princess Jingming Liu Ming was so frightened that she was stunned. The princess had gone back to get the letter, and she forgot to lock the first door, so she was captured by the king.
Yun took advantage of the opportunity.
Zuo Aoran told half of the story, and Princess Liu Ming cried after listening to it: It's all my fault for being careless! After pretending for so many days, Wang Yun saw through it, and all the previous efforts were wasted. If I knew about it, I would be unlucky.
I'm so angry! Princess Liu Ming tossed her sleeves and went back to the back house.
Now that the deal was done, Zuo Aoran had no choice but to lead the two of them to the front hall, sit down in the front hall, and let the family light the lights. General He Jin said: "Niece-in-law! Why are you pretending to be dead? How depressing you are.
!?Don’t you think it’s unlucky?!”
Wang Yun was happy and said: "What's the matter? One mantra will make you prosperous for ten years. It's okay, it's okay."
Zuo Aoran's face was as red as slapstick. He sighed and said, "This is all what my mother meant. My mother..."
"Come on, stop talking, I understand." He Jin interrupted: "I'm talking about the emperor's niece and son-in-law. Do you know that your senior brother Gongsun Zan lost the battle and held on to the city and did not dare to fight? Now the imperial court cannot send any leading troops.
Marshal, you are alive this time, now is the time, you can lead the troops into battle!"
Wang Yun shook his head and said: "You can't go there. If Zuo Aoran comes out, he will die."
"What?!" He Jin asked confused.
"What else!?" Wang Yun said: "Zuo Aoran strongly recommended the abolition of Li, and His Majesty is still angry. If he pretends to die and hides his name, the Emperor will have to blame him, or he will lose his head."
General He Jin thought: "No! The emperor can't finish it!" He asked: "Master Wang! What should we do?"
"I have an idea to get the best of both worlds and save Zuo Aoran's life." Wang Yun said.
"Oh!?" General He Jin said anxiously: "Speak quickly, speak quickly!"
"I want to ask, does the bet between the two of us and high fives count?" Wang Yun said with great interest.
When General He Jin heard this, he thought to himself: "What a good guy! He hasn't forgotten this yet?!" He forced a smile and nodded: "Forget it! Why doesn't it count? Isn't it just that my salary for this year belongs to you?
?!"
"That's great, but it's empty talk. You need to give me a written proof." Wang Yun said.
General He Jin thought to himself: "It is said that Wang Yun does not love money. What happened today? However, if I can save my niece and son-in-law and protect the country, what does it mean for me to take two dollars?" Thinking of this, He Jin said: "I will give it to you.
You created a written document." He Jin wrote the written document at that time, put his fingerprints on it, and then handed it to Wang Yun.
Wang Yun took the note and said with a smile: "Thank you, General, for the money. However, I don't want the money. I gave it to the people of Xiakou County as alms. I was a county magistrate in Xiakou County and I know the local people."
We are so poor, I will use your money to help the victims, I will treat it as a kindness to you."
After hearing this, the general He Jin admired Wang Yun very much and said: "Give it to whomever you like. I don't care. Tell me quickly. How can I avoid my niece-in-law's crime of deceiving the emperor?"
"General! Don't let Zuo Aoran show up in the capital. He can't see the emperor, and the emperor can't spare him. We have to make a decree in front of the emperor first, and let the emperor personally promise that Zuo Aoran will be spared.
Only in this way can Zuo Aoran lead the army safely and safely. After he has made great achievements, your Majesty can no longer blame Marshal Zuo. When the time comes, whether Marshal Zuo will go or stay, it is not His Majesty who has the final say.
That’s it.”
After hearing this, General He Jin thought to himself: "Well, don't tell me, this trick is really good. First, please issue an imperial edict of immunity, and then ask the prince-in-law to perform meritorious service. After the meritorious service is performed, Your Majesty can't say anything else. This can be said to be a miracle."
What a brilliant idea!" But He Jin was still He Jin. He was a butcher, and his brain was not very bright. There were many things that he couldn't figure out, so he asked: "Then how can we ask for an imperial edict to exempt people from sin?"
Wang Yun was delighted and said, "Don't worry about this, General. You can use your own clever plan."
"That won't work, I'm not worried!" General He Jin said.
Wang Yundao: "General, what do you say when you are generous? Don't you just listen to me in everything you say?!"
"Oh! Yes! Yes! Yes! I have forgotten this. I just listen to you. Isn't it okay to listen to you?! I'm just listening for once!" said General He Jin.
Wang Yundao said: "That's it for now! Look, it's almost dawn. We've been out for several days. We still don't know what the situation of the enemy in front is. Let's hurry back!" Then he said to Zuo Aoran.
Said: "I say Prince Consort Zuo, prepare food for us. After we are full, we can return to Beijing!"
Zuo Aoran nodded, there was no other way, he removed the memorial shed, packed everything, and woke up his teacher Lu Zhi. When Lu Zhi woke up, he still asked: "Is my studious life alive? Is it alive?"
"It's alive, it's alive, look, it's right here!" Wang Yun pointed with his hand.
When Lu Zhi looked at Zuo Aoran, he was so happy that his beard was curled up and he almost jumped up. He grabbed Zuo Aoran's arm and said happily: "Oh! I'm so good at studying! I'm such a good student! You are
He’s really alive! I’m talking about Master Wang! You’re really smart! You really saved my good student!”
Wang Yun waved his hand and said: "Why did I revive him? He was not dead at all. I said, you hurry up and pack up so that we can return to the capital, Luoyang."
"Oh! Okay! That's great!" Lu Zhi said happily.
Seeing that Lu Zhi agreed so readily, Wang Yun quickly gave another instruction: "But there is one thing! You must be strict with your mouth and keep your mouth shut. You can't tell anyone that Zuo Aoran is not dead, remember?!"
Lu Zhi nodded and said, "I understand."
After simply eating something, the three of them left Zuo Mansion, got on their mounts, and rode out of Zuojia County at full speed, heading straight for Luoyang, the capital. Along the way, they stayed overnight in the morning, hungry for meals and thirsty for drinks.
A few days later, they rushed back to the capital, Luoyang. This trip took the three of them nearly twenty days.
The three of them returned to Luoyang, and each went home and changed their court clothes to prepare for the pilgrimage. It was only after He Jin returned home that he found out that the Ling Emperor Liu Hong had sent someone to announce him, and his family's answer was that they were with Wang Yun and Lu Zhi when they went to visit the marshal.
After they left, Ling Emperor Liu Hong had no other choice but to hurriedly select a marshal and lead the troops to go on the expedition.
Originally, Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun were wanted to lead the expedition together, but Lu Zhi refused, so he had to let Zhu Jun lead the expedition alone. Unexpectedly, not long after Zhu Jun sent out his troops, news came that he had lost the battle.
First, they were attacked during the expedition and lost half of their troops. After that, they led the remaining 7,000 cavalry and fled to Lulongse. This was reported by nearly 10,000 scattered infantrymen. Then there was a great defeat outside Lulongse, with heavy losses.
The news reached Luoyang, the capital, and Ling Emperor Liu Hong was greatly shocked. He Jin hurried to the Eight Treasures Golden Palace after learning about it.
General He Jin, Situ Wang Yun, and Shangshu Lu Zhi rushed to the gate of Wu Chao and caught up with Ling Emperor Liu Hongsheng Palace. The three of them rushed into the Golden Palace. After entering the Golden Palace, they had finished paying homage to the king.
, Wendong and Wuxi are arranged on both sides.
Ling Emperor Liu Hong asked the ministers: "Now that Zhu Aiqing has taken command, the Xianbei people were despicable and cunning, and set up an ambush to defeat Zhu Aiqing. Now that Zhu Aiqing is unable to stop the enemy, who else can take command and go to the front to rescue Zhu Aiqing?"
?" No one from the civil and military ministers answered him.
"If Zuo Chaqi is still there, why worry about foreign invasion?!"
"If you don't get rid of the officials of the loyal and brave marquis who protect the country, how can foreigners dare to invade our Central Plains!"
"How could the Chariot and Cavalry General be in such a state of embarrassment today if he had not died!"
"If you don't give up the official position of Marshal Zuo, why worry about not being able to choose a generalissimo to lead the troops on the expedition?"
The civil and military ministers on both sides of the aisle have different thoughts in their minds. Anyway, they have all kinds of thoughts. Some people even don't take this matter to heart at all. They only think about how to make more money and occupy more land.
Steal more beauties and kill more people who stand in your way...
General He Jin looked at Wang Yun, meaning: "What should I do? Now it's all up to you. Is my niece-in-law still waiting on the way?!" Wang Yun looked at General He Jin and shook his head.
Shaking his head means: "Don't be anxious, just wait."
Ling Emperor Liu Hong was so anxious! If the world was his, how could he face the ancestors of all ages if he died in his hands? So he asked again: "Dear dear friends, you are talking.
Ah!? Who can lead the expedition?!" Still no one from the civil and military ministers answered him. Ling Emperor Liu Hong asked for a long time, but still no one answered.
Seeing the right opportunity, Wang Yun then went out to work, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I recommend a person to you, who can be the second-line marshal."
Emperor Ling Liu Hong was overjoyed when he saw Wang Yun coming out to recommend the second marshal, and said hurriedly: "Wang Aiqing, hurry up and invite me, but I don't know who Wang Aiqing recommends?"
"The person recommended by the ministers has three strategies and six skills. He knows the military and war strategies like the palm of his hand. His mouth is like a hanging river. His martial arts are astonishing. He has hundreds of brave generals under his command. His bravery is comparable to Xiang Yu of Chu. His ability to command the three armies is comparable to that of Emperor Gaozu's fake king of Qi."
Han Xin, the great marshal of the world's soldiers and horses!" Wang Yun said plausibly.
The civil and military ministers were surprised when they heard this, because they knew everything about the affairs of the court. When did the court have such a handsome man? If so, he would still be as embarrassed as he is now! But who is Ling Emperor Liu Hong?
He didn't even know that he knew how to ride a horse every day in the palace. He was even more happy when he heard it, and asked with a red face: "Wang Aiqing, please don't betray me. At this time, when the survival of our Han Dynasty is in danger, Aiqing
Please tell me who this person is, please?"
Wang Yun said calmly: "Your Majesty, before I tell you who this person is, I kindly ask your Majesty to issue a decree..."
Ling Emperor Liu Hong thought Wang Yun was asking for an official position from him, so he interrupted Wang Yun and said: "As long as this person can defeat the Xianbei and Huns coalition forces, I will make Wang Aiqing the Taifu and the marshal who leads the army as the Hussars General.
- A loyal and brave Marquis who protects the country enjoys double salary and salary. His wife is a first-grade imperial concubine, and his children can enjoy a third-grade salary when they are born."
