Front yard study.
When Fang Zuotang was waiting for the official document to be approved, he heard a knock on the door from outside. When he did not raise his head, he asked the outside head, "who is it?"
"My Lord, it's me. Wenjie is back." Kong Wenjie is outside the door.
"Oh, Wenjie, come in." Fang Zuotang said hurriedly.
At present, Kong Wenmin and Kong Wenjie entered the study, closed the door, and then went to the desk to salute Fang Zuotang: "I have seen adults."
"You sit first," Fang Zuotang looked up at the two men, nodded to them, and then lowered his head. "I'll have it in a moment."
"Yes." Kong Wenmin sat down on the soft couch, but he didn't sit down. He went straight to the fire basin to bake his hands. It was snowy and windy all the way. He was in good health, but he couldn't stand all over. When he dismounted just outside the door, he couldn't stand.
Kong Wenmin poured a cup of hot tea into Kong Wenjie's hand: "drink while it's hot."
"Thank you, brother." Kong Wenjie took the tea and drank it clean, which made him feel more comfortable. Then he took the stool and sat in front of the fire basin and continued to bake.
"Wenjie, you've been working hard this time. It's such a cold day that you've been out for so many days," said Fang Zuotang. After a long time of fragrant Kung Fu, Fang Zuotang got up and walked out from behind the desk, poured a cup of tea with his own hands, handed it to Kong Wenjie, patted his shoulder and said, "go back and have a good rest."
"Yes, thank you very much, sir." Kong Wenjie took the cup of tea and put it aside. Then he took a letter out of his arms and sent it to Fang Zuotang. At the same time, he said, "this is an urgent message sent by Ma Tong. Please have a look at it."
The communication between the royal forest army and Ninggu pagoda has never been interrupted, and Kong Wenjie has never needed to go there in person. However, since the winter, the snow has blocked the road, and it is hard to walk. So now every half month, Kong Wenjie goes to Jilin in person, where he joins the royal forest army from the capital, and delivers secret messages and other things. This time, it is the same.
Fang Zuotang sat down on the soft couch, opened the urgent letter, glanced at the letter quickly, then twisted his eyebrows together, read the letter, he put the letter on the small table, and then shook his head incomprehensibly: "this is strange."
"What's the matter?" Kong Wenmin asked hurriedly, "is there any instruction from Ma Tongling?"
"Yes," Fang Zuotang nodded, patted the letter on the small table, and said to Kong Wenmin, "let's see for yourself."
At present, Kong Wenmin was too busy to pick up the letter and read it. Indeed, he was puzzled. Kong Wenjie looked at the expression on both sides. He was really puzzled. He was too busy to look at it. Then he was shocked: "commander Ma asked us to ensure the safety of Empress Dowager in Ninggu tower? And even used the oath to protect such words? Isn't that ridiculous? "
Yes, although Ninggu pagoda is firmly held in the hands of the Imperial Army, and the Imperial Army really has the obligation to maintain the stability here. Such an identity as Zhong Mingwei is naturally the key care object, but there must be no intersection between the Imperial Army and the prince. And the prince is just a commoner now, and he can't bear the heavy words of "sworn protection".
Moreover, the purpose of the imperial forest army has always been to remain neutral and never fight. However, Ma Zhiming's letter is too clear to be more clear. It is clear that he wants to stand in line, but he is the paralytic half dead. This is really amazing.
"What does Ma Tong think of this?" However, Kong Wenjie was not good at strategy, but he also clearly understood Ma Zhiming's meaning. For a while, he was shocked to open his mouth and shut his tongue. "The old prince is paralytic now, how long he can live is still uncertain. What's more, the long live master himself ordered to depose him. He is doomed to be a commoner all his life. At this time, Ma Tongling was born with such a mind. He was bowed down by others No way? "
"Don't talk nonsense," Kong Wenmin looked at Kong Wenjie in a white way. He looked at the side of the letter carefully, and then said in a deep voice, "this is not the meaning of Ma Tongling. This is the meaning of the Lord. Such a big thing is not that Ma Tongling can be the master at all. It must be after the Lord gives an order, Ma Tongling takes the lead in handling affairs. It's just not easy to say clearly in the letter, But at the end of the letter, commander Ma added a special sentence, please, why is he so humble to us? Just to remind us that this is what the Lord means. "
