I don’t know if it was Xiao Rong’s illusion, but he walked even faster.
Not long after Yuan Baifu went in, Gao Xunzhi came out. When he saw Xiao Rong waiting there, he also showed an extremely warm smile.
Xiao Rong: “…”
Suddenly I began to understand Yuan Baifu's feelings.
Xiao Rong explained his purpose and Gao Xunzhi took him to the meeting room after learning that it was a serious matter.
After sitting opposite each other, Xiao Rong apologized first: "The Prime Minister gave me earnest instructions yesterday, but I was really worried that the king would act impulsively, so I went to see the king."
Gao Xunzhi: “…”
He couldn't help but ask, "Did the king embarrass you?"
Xiao Rong: "No, but the hatred that the king expressed towards the Xianbei and Li Xiuheng in his words made me very worried."
Gao Xunzhi sighed, "There is nothing we can do about this. Sir, you have only been in Yanmen County for a short time and you don't know the past of the Zhenbei Army. Fortunately, Li Xiuheng is now just a clown, and the Xianbei people are in danger. When Your Majesty defeats the Xianbei Murong tribe this fall and avenges the blood feud of the past, things should be better."
Xiao Rong didn't think so at all: "Can it really be better? The Xianbei people did it, but it was also the court that facilitated it. Emperor Guangjia died suddenly, but his descendants are still firmly on the throne, supporting thousands of parasites below. The prime minister knows the king's temper better than I do. Can he really watch those people over there revel and make a fuss every night and do nothing?"
Gao Xunzhi: “…”
He was silent for a moment, and looked at Xiao Rong with some confusion: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Rong: "Even if a centipede dies, it will not die. Moreover, when the Yong Dynasty moved south, they took away all the good things they could. Southern Yong is rich and has countless supporters. When the king woke up and just set his eyes on them, their eyes had been on the king for a long time."
"Li Xiuheng defected to the Qingfeng Sect, and the Qingfeng Sect united with the Xianbei people. These two are indeed, one is a clown, and the other is a troublemaker. However, the former was able to seduce the important soldiers in the Zhenbei Army to rebel, and the latter is good at guiding public opinion. I wonder if the Prime Minister has ever heard the children in Yanmen County singing this ballad: Chiyou's flag came out from the north, and Jupiter is good, but it is in the east."
Gao Xunzhi was stunned. He went out at about the same time as Jian Qiao, but came back even later than Jian Qiao. He had never heard of anything that Jian Qiao had never heard of.
Judging from his expression, Jian Qiao did not tell him the nursery rhyme. He might think it was not a big deal, or he might not want Qu Yunmie to know about it.
Gao Xunzhi was well educated and obviously knew the pros and cons of this. He was shocked and angry. After a long while, he asked Xiao Rong, "Did someone from the Qingfeng Sect spread this?!"
Xiao Rong raised his eyebrows: "I don't know, maybe it is, maybe not. On the day when Chiyou's flag appeared, I was on my way to Pingyang, and I didn't hear similar nursery rhymes along the way. Not even in the nearby and bustling Pingyang City. Instead, there were children in Yanmen County singing. Prime Minister, listen to the last sentence, 'But in the east'. This was originally sung for the Zhenbei Army. Otherwise, why would people outside say 'But in the east'?"
In other words, the birthplace of this nursery rhyme was the base camp of the Zhenbei Army. Those people were too lazy to give time to let this nursery rhyme slowly appear throughout the Central Plains, so they directly handed it over to the spies, who stabbed the knife into the heart of the Zhenbei Army.
Gao Xunzhi was very angry. The first person he suspected was the Qingfeng Sect. After all, they loved to play tricks. But after Xiao Rong's reminder, he calmed down.
Yes, the first half of the sentence is a slander against the Zhenbei Army and a curse on the King of Zhenbei, but the second half is even more heartbreaking.
As long as someone believes this nursery rhyme and begins to doubt that this place is unsafe, they will naturally head to the east, where Jupiter is shrouded.
If Chiyou's flag is a jinx, then Jupiter is a lucky star. Almost every founder of a dynasty has claimed that Jupiter appeared in the world and that it was heaven that encouraged them to replace the old dynasty.
Nanyong’s current capital, Jinling, is indeed in the east.
But was this done by Nan Yong? Gao Xunzhi was not sure. Could it be that Sun Renluan, the emperor's uncle, no longer wanted to support the He family and was planning to ascend the throne himself?
Gao Xunzhi was brainstorming here, and over there, Xiao Rong had already started studying the texture on the floor tiles.
Gao Xunzhi: “…”
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Since you brought up this issue, there must be a solution. Tell us quickly. We can't delay this matter. Once people outside know about this nursery rhyme, your reputation will be completely ruined!"
