Without entering this system, he was just drifting away from it. No matter how many people told him about it, he couldn't truly understand what was helplessness and grievance. Sun Chengzong hadn't experienced that kind of helplessness and grievance, so he wouldn't give up.
"Then, Zhi Shen, you …"
"Dong Weng, I'll be right back!"
Sun Chengzong turned over and mounted the warhorse. He turned the horse around and galloped in the direction of the barracks. After a while, he disappeared.
Fang Shoushi sighed slightly and shook his head helplessly.
There were always some people in the world who knew that they couldn't do it, but still did it. They were really stupid …
But if it weren't for these stupid people, could the world still be saved?
Fang Shoushi looked at the bright starry sky speechlessly.
Xiao Ruxun was also watching the bright starry sky.
The starry sky was very beautiful. It was a beautiful scenery that was extremely difficult to see in the modern night full of light pollution. The shimmering stars dotted the dark blue night sky. From a human's point of view, it looked like the Milky Way.
He didn't know how long it had been since he had the leisure to look at the starry sky. When he was in Myanmar, he could occasionally take some time to look at the starry sky with his family. Now, it had been a few months, and he didn't know when he would see his family again.
How was his son's martial arts practice? Did he practice diligently according to his instructions?
How was his daughter's education? Did she follow her mother to study and learn needlework?
Caiyun was a virtuous wife. She wouldn't slack off in educating her children because of her love for them. On the contrary, his father doted on his little grandson and granddaughter a little too much …
In the past, when his son was naughty, Xiao Ruxun wanted to beat him up, but he was stopped by his father several times. His father even wanted to beat Xiao Ruxun up. He didn't know if it was still the same now.
The last time he received a letter from his family was a month ago. Xiao Ruxun told them not to send the letter. He would be back soon, and he might not receive the letter even if they sent it again. However, he still wanted to see the news from his family, right?
It was only at this time that Xiao Ruxun would calm down and think about his family and happy things.
But this rare tranquility didn't last long.
"I want to see the governor! Let me go! "
"Who are you? If you want to see the governor, do you have the governor's orders? "
"Order? I … I just got out from here! "
"We don't know you. Leave quickly, or we'll be treated as spies!"
"You idiots! Me! I am Fang Futai's advisor! "
"Where is the House Supervisor Platform?"
"He …"
… …
A burst of noise messed up Xiao Ruxun's thoughts.
"What happened?"
He looked doubtfully at the source of the sound. A guard immediately ran over to take a look and quickly ran back.
"A man who calls himself Sun Chengzong has come to see Silang."
"Sun Chengzong? What is he doing here? "
Xiao Ruxun frowned in confusion and said, "Let him come over!"
"Understood!"
The guards immediately stepped forward and brought Sun Chengzong over. Xiao Ruxun received him in the tent.
"Governor!"
Sun Chengzong bowed to Xiao Ruxun.
"Yes."
Xiao Ruxun waved his hand for the guards to leave and asked, "Mister Sun? What business do you have with me? Did Fang Futai send you here? "
"You can put it that way, but this is also my own opinion."
Sun Chengzong raised his head and said, "Governor Xiao, I'm here to persuade you not to send troops to the north. You only need to defeat the Northern Barbarians in front of you. Just wait for a few days, and the imperial court's order for you to go north will definitely arrive!"
Xiao Ruxun frowned and thought deeply for a moment. Then he said slowly, "What do you mean? Does Lord Fang know that the imperial court will send an order? Why didn't you say so earlier? Also, why wait for a few days? Opportunities are fleeting. If I wait for a few days and let the remaining Northern Barbarians escape, the Northern Barbarians in Guihua City will be prepared. "
Sun Chengzong looked anxious and quickly said, "Governor Xiao, this is a test and judgment from the imperial court!"
"Test and judgment?"
Xiao Ruxun muttered these five words and suddenly understood in her heart.
"Yes! Test and judgment! More accurately, this is a test from Minister of Cabinet Shen Yicheng! Now that Minister of Cabinet Shen has been promoted to the position of Vice Minister of the Cabinet, he is only waiting for the current Grand Secretary, Zhao Zhigao, to be promoted to the position of Grand Secretary. At this time, if Minister of Cabinet Shen wants to show his power, he will certainly recruit capable people to do their best. And you are the person that Minister of Cabinet Shen has chosen!
Minister of Cabinet Shen has actually already seen your memorial requesting for war and knows that this is the right thing to do. However, he did not have Lord Fang bring the imperial edict from the imperial court to allow for war. He delayed it for a few days and did not let Lord Fang tell you. This is a test for you! A test to see if you are still loyal to the imperial court and Minister of Cabinet Shen, and if you still listen to the orders of the imperial court and Minister of Cabinet Shen! "
Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath, "So?"
"So Governor Xiao must not send out troops to the north at this time. You must wait until the imperial edict arrives before setting out. Then at that time, Minister of Cabinet Shen and the imperial court will be able to confirm that you are a loyal general and will greatly use you! Your future is limitless! Governor Xiao, please make a wise decision! "
Sun Chengzong's tone was full of worry and sincerity. This kind of tone could not be faked. On this point, Xiao Ruxun was very sure.
But …
"Mister Sun, tell me, is it up to Minister of Cabinet Shen or His Majesty to decide whether I am a loyal general or not?"
Xiao Ruxun's rhetorical question stumped Sun Chengzong.
That's right, the one who decides whether a general is loyal or not is the Emperor, not the ministers?
"I, Xiao Ruxun, have been a general of the Daming for generations, loyal to the Daming, loyal to the Emperor. When have I ever needed to be loyal to Minister of Cabinet Shen? If I am loyal to Minister of Cabinet Shen, doesn't that mean I want to rebel? "
Sun Chengzong's mouth dropped open.
Xiao Ruxun smiled slightly.
"Mister Sun, I understand what you mean, but this northern expedition must be carried out. I am loyal to the Daming, loyal to His Majesty. Minister of Cabinet Shen and I are both His Majesty's subjects, so why should I be loyal to him? His Majesty appointed me as the Governor and gave me the authority to command the troops of the four towns and be fully responsible for the war here.
The ones who attacked the Daming from the south are the Tumers. Sending out troops to the north to attack Guihua City is a counterattack against the Tumers' rebellion. It is also counted as part of this campaign and is within the scope of my authority. Before I sent out the troops, I informed His Majesty and the imperial court. Strictly speaking, it cannot be considered as asking for instructions. This is to teach the rebels a lesson, not a war.
