Chapter 362: Call your cousin
In the past, Sister Cheng Huan was dressed in red, scorching and dazzling, with a pair of bright eyes with a smile when she saw someone, no matter when she saw it, she always felt warm in her heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But now this Sister Cheng Huan, who always likes to be dressed in white, has delicate eyebrows and eyes, but there is no longer the same light under her eyes, every time she looks at it, she feels like a deep well, and she can't tell whether she is happy or sad.
Even though she is dressed in red today, she still feels so cold.
Xiao Shaotang rode steadily on the horse, accompanied by the side of the imperial chariot, and as soon as he left the city gate, he immediately searched for Bai Chenghuan's figure in the crowd.
Even though the crowd was surging, among the thousands of people, he could still see her at a glance, dressed in red like fire, holding Liang Sixian's hand, standing not far from the father and son of Weibei Hou, who were surrounded by people, with a smile on the corner of his lips and gentle eyes.
At this time, she was also like the people who crowded the moat, kneeling on the ground, with a humble posture, but it made his heart suddenly feel uncomfortable.
In his heart, she should be the bright moonlight high above.
That day in Zhaoyang Palace, what did the emperor do to Bai Chenghuan to make her run out in such a panic, he was afraid that he would feel embarrassed if he asked Bai Chenghuan, so he endured it and didn't ask Bai Chenghuan.
However, his heart was already clear, and his worst fears still appeared.
Xiao Shaotang glanced at the emperor quietly, and the heavy color in his eyes flashed.
The emperor's mighty guard of honor passed through the crowd, and finally came to the Weibei Hou family who knelt respectfully.
"Xu Aiqing is about to travel far away, for my worries, I am here to see you off. ”
Xiao Shaoyun stepped down from the imperial chariot with a smile on his face, but his tone was full of endless loftiness and gifts.
"Minister Xu Chenglin thanked the emperor for his grace, and he will be loyal to Daqi and live up to the emperor's expectations!"
Xu Chenglin bowed respectfully.
Xiao Shaoyun glanced at the people around him who were kneeling on the ground, and then said softly: "Flat." ”
Bai Chenghuan stood up, and the moment she raised her head, she just met Xiao Shaoyun's eyes, with the light she was familiar with before.
She lowered her head expressionlessly, pulled Liang Sixian and quietly took a few steps back.
Liang Sixian felt strange, so he also looked up, but saw that the emperor was looking at Cheng Huan!
Liang Sixian was terrified - why did the emperor look at Cheng Huan like this?!
Such gentle and delicate eyes, no, this is not right at all!
Liang Sixian looked at the emperor, and then looked at Cheng Huan, who lowered his head, and smiled at all, his heart turned over like a river and a sea, and he couldn't say what it felt, I don't know whether he was sad or angry.
How can the emperor be like this!?
Cheng Huan has only been there for a few days, and he has been drafted, Xu Chengyi, An Zhulin, and they were taken into the palace one after another to live, and now they are eyeing Bai Chenghuan again!
He is so unkind, how can he be worthy of Xu Chenghuan!
Fortunately, Xiao Shaoyun quickly turned his eyes away, and gave Xu Chenglin a kind attitude and earnestly instructed him, just like a bright monarch, and after the two of them played a good show of the monarch and the minister, Xiao Shaoyun turned back to King Jin and said:
"I remember that Concubine Lin Gui is also the daughter of the Lin family from the southeast Lin family, and the Lin family is also Xiao Shi's uncle's family, Cheng Lin went this time, Xiao Shi, what do you have to say to your mother's uncle's family?"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Chenghuan was shocked in his heart, but he couldn't bear it and didn't raise his head.
Xiao Shaoyun is trying to do this! I'm afraid that Xiao Shi doesn't know the depths and spreads the word indiscriminately-the vassal king has close contacts with his maternal uncle's family who occupies one side, what does he want to do?
Fortunately, King Jin is the most brainless person on weekdays, but today he is extremely sober-minded.
He scratched his head with the fan in his hand, as if he had been thinking hard for a while, and then said with some embarrassment: "Brother Huang, brother of the courtier, brother of the courtier also want to come and go with his uncle's house, but...... But the mother concubine went early, the southeast is so far away, and no one from my uncle's family has never been to the capital, and on weekdays, there is no intersection, this, what do you want to say, and who to talk to?"
Bai Chenghuan's heart immediately let go.
Xiao Shaoyun was stunned, he didn't seem to expect King Jin to be so well-behaved, and he didn't even know that there were some people in his mother's uncle's family.
Then he said: "Xiao Shi, you are really confused, besides, the distance is far away, it is also your maternal uncle's house, how can you be so indifferent?"
As he spoke, he turned to Xu Chenglin and said: "Cheng Lin went this time, when he saw the Lin family, he must say a few words about the Lin family, no matter how far the distance is, the King of Jin is also their nephew, how can he never come to the capital to visit?
Xu Chenglin gave it up, and the surrounding ministers were silent, but he knew clearly in his heart that the emperor had already begun to find a reason to criticize the Lin family.
Many people sighed in their hearts, this was really the Lin family's days in the southeast, which made the emperor dissatisfied.
If the Lin family had been in contact with the King of Jin in the past, I am afraid that at this time they had been charged with the crime of befriending the vassal king with the intention of rebellion.
Zhao Shizhen stood far away, but he pricked up his ears and heard the movement here clearly, and his brows furrowed when he heard this.
happened to be standing next to Zhu Siming, the head of the household, so he reached out and stabbed Zhu Siming's waist.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Siming turned around and glared at Zhao Shizhen viciously.
If you want to say that the person he doesn't want to see the most now, it is Zhao Shizhen, who has been chasing behind his ass and asking for silver.
Zhao Shizhen was unimpressed by Zhu Siming's bad attitude, and lowered his voice and asked: "You said that the emperor meant this, is it going to move the southeast and the Lin family again? But if the southeast is chaotic again, what will happen to the northwest? Lord Zhu, the silver, are you ready?"
Zhu Siming was stunned, and his mind was suddenly occupied by the word "silver".
If there is anything that is most lacking in the household today, it is silver.
There is a big drought in Daqi this summer, and in the autumn, there is no need to think about the taxes, for fear that they will not be collected, and the spiritualist platform of the Ministry of Industry is like flowing silver, and there is still a draft that has not started, and the military salary in the northwest cannot be ignored, and the household department is already anxious from top to bottom.
This southeast has always been managed by the Lin family, and the Lin family Tiangao Emperor is far away as the emperor of the soil, but he also feels that he has not asked the court for silver every year, and his own soldiers are kept by his own family.
If Xu Chenglin goes, and then stirs up chaos in the slightly calmer southeast, wouldn't it be another large sum of money every year?
Zhu Siming immediately sweated.
The July day was already on fire everywhere, and as soon as his heart became angry, the back of Zhu Siming's official uniform was soaked.
Zhao Shizhen was originally envious of Wei Beihou, but when he saw Zhu Siming's expression at this time, his heart was also heavy.
Not to mention the silver of the household department, only to talk about the troops, there was originally a shortage of people in the northwest, and the Soul Conjuring Platform had also pulled so many strong men, if it were not for reinforcements from all over the country, would Ningzhou City be able to hold on to the two sides, and if there was trouble in the southeast again, where could the troops be transferred over at that time? Is it possible to transfer 100,000 horses from the three major battalions of the Gongwei Beijing Division?
However, if the soldiers and horses in the north go to the southeast place, if they fight in the water, will they not seek death? Not to mention the problems of water and soil adaptation, and so on.
The soldiers and horses of Daqi are scattered everywhere, and the east and west are at war at the same time, but there will be a disaster of overthrowing the country at any time!
Your Majesty, this is a dizziness, right?
The two Shangshu stood in one place, and over there, Xu Chenglin had already drunk the parting wine and kowtowed to the emperor again.
Then he looked at the family members who saw him off.
"Dad, mother, take care. ”
He saluted his parents, and then looked at Bai Chenghuan.
He can't guard his sister's side every day, and he can't avenge his sister immediately, but he has already walked on this road, and he will never look back.
"Cheng Huan, you must remember what I said, don't be in a hurry, wait for me to come back. ”
Bai Chenghuan smiled and nodded.
"May my brother have a safe journey and all the best. ”
At home, the things that should have been said have already been said, and at this time, in front of the emperor, there can only be these words.
"Brother Xu!"
The scorching sun was like fire, and Xu Chenglin, who was dressed in military uniform, stepped on the horse again, and was about to raise the whip, but a woman's shout came from behind him.
When he turned around, he saw Liang Sixian standing next to his sister, and suddenly ran towards him.
She stood next to the steed before holding the thing in her hand in front of Xu Chenglin, her voice was weak, but it was enough for Xu Chenglin to hear:
"Brother Xu, no matter where you are, you have to remember that making contributions is not the most important thing, but the most important thing is that you come back safely. This is the peace charm I asked for you when I went to Beishan Temple, and you brought it with you, and it is also mine, a piece of my heart. ”
Xu Chenglin looked at a boxy rune paper in Liang Sixian's palm in surprise, and then looked at her face, but found that her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had cried.
Liang Sixian in his memory is a happy and carefree little girl, just like Chenghuan in the past, but today she is so sad.
Is it because he's leaving?
But he, who is she, deserves her such sadness?
With the emperor behind him and the crowd at his side, Xu Chenglin didn't think much about it, reached out and took the peace charm and put it in the placket.
"Thank you for this piece of heart, I keep it in my heart. ”
A smile instantly appeared in Liang Sixian's red and swollen eyes.
"Brother Xu, take care. ”
Liang Sixian took a few steps back, looked at the sturdy man on the horse, and suddenly felt like a most important matter, no matter what in this life, there will be no regrets.
Whether he understood her intentions or not, she would not regret it for the rest of her life because she never mustered up the courage to walk to his side.
"Take care, too. ”
Xu Chenglin glanced at Liang Sixian deeply and whipped on the road.
After walking a long way, when he looked back, in addition to the silhouette of his family who had gone away, there was also a woman in green waving at him.
Liang Sixian.
He silently repeated the name again.
"Brother Huang, Xu Shizi has left, let's go back too. ”
King Jin held the fan in his hand to block the scorching sun overhead, pulled away the officials surrounding the imperial brother, and reminded his imperial brother.
He is a man, but he is not afraid of the sun, but he pities Sister Cheng Huan without any shelter, such a poisonous sun, what if the sun is good?
He had the heart to go over to block the sun for Sister Cheng Huan, but unfortunately Sister Cheng Huan repeatedly warned him that he was not allowed to approach her in front of people, and she would definitely be angry when he passed at this time.
Xiao Shaoyun put his eyes on the fan unfolded in King Jin's hand, glanced at it fixedly, and then nodded.
The people who were dizzy from the gradually scorching sun hurriedly knelt down again, ready to send off the emperor, but the emperor's voice came from the side of the imperial chariot:
"Since I am out of the palace today, I might as well take a walk in the capital, walk back to the palace, everyone Aiqing can do your own thing, you can ride a car or a horse, but don't follow me. ”
The civil and military ministers surrounding the emperor and the people kneeling in the distance were in an uproar.
On such a hot day, the emperor is going to walk back?
Isn't this a joke, the emperor walked back, and they rode on horseback?
"Don't dare!"
Everyone excused themselves.
Xiao Shaoyun sighed.
He just wanted to be comfortable for a moment, why did he work so hard.
He raised his voice impatiently: "No military officials, or ordinary people, leave this place immediately and return to the city, if there is any delay, it will be punished for the crime of resisting the decree!"
After speaking, he paused and looked in the direction of the people in Weibei Houfu: "The people of Weibei Houfu will walk with me." ”
The emperor has said everything about this, and he can't leave it.
The civil and military officials are really too hot to stand it, and they are not like the emperor who has an umbrella above their heads to cover them, they are all exposed to the sun, at this time, although they are a little envious and jealous that the people of Weibei Houfu can be so close to the emperor, they can only leave quickly.
"The courtiers also walked with the royal brothers. King Jin didn't want to leave.
Xiao Shaoyun didn't care, nodded and agreed.
Xiao Shaotang also gave up: "Brother Huang, my brother is not familiar with the capital, so I just took this opportunity to follow Brother Huang to take a look." ”
Xiao Shaoyun glared at him dissatisfied, is this cheeky a little too thick?
Most of the powerful people in the capital have run all over the city, and they still say that they are not familiar with the capital?
"You don't have to follow me, go back early. "Xiao Shaoyun drove people away.
Seeing that the emperor didn't allow it, Xiao Shaotang glanced at King Jin, and his expression was a little aggrieved: "The imperial brothers have allowed His Royal Highness the King of Jin to follow, but they don't allow the younger brothers to follow, I think they are dissatisfied with the younger brothers, is it so biased?"
As they walked away, some of them looked back.
Xiao Shaoyun is angry and doesn't fight anywhere, can a proton be compared with King Jin?
When there was some stalemate, a figure in a powder blue dress suddenly rushed out, rushing straight towards Xiao Shaotang, almost throwing himself into his arms.
"Seventh cousin, you're not dead, you're not dead!"
Surprise, excitement, sadness, joy, all kinds of emotions, all came from the mouth of a woman.
Everyone stared at the past, and saw a beautiful girl, holding the prince of Qin to death, tears rolling down her eyes.
Xiao Shaotang was stunned for only a moment, and then immediately pushed her away, with a low voice: "This girl, did you recognize the wrong person?"
Xue Lanzhi shook her head desperately, and was about to pounce again, wanting to hold on to the young man in front of her firmly and never let go:
"Seventh cousin, you are the seventh cousin of the He family, I won't admit my mistake, even if you turn to ashes, I won't admit my mistake! You are still alive! I know you will not die!"
The beauty cried, which was pitying, but Xiao Shaotang's heart sank straight to the bottomless abyss:
"Girl's self-respect!"
Is she trying to kill the He family and put the He family to death?!
