Zichen Gate and Hengjie are guarded by special palace people, and without the emperor's summons and notification, neither courtiers nor concubines can easily set foot in Zichen Palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this moment, Xie Lingzhen looked at the tall and majestic Zichen Palace, he didn't want to go in at all, he was called, he wasn't sure what the imperial brother was going to do with him, the last time he helped him choose a concubine, the second day after he returned to the palace, there were ministers from all walks of life who went to the palace to ask for a meeting, openly and secretly looking for his bad luck, he suddenly understood that he was calculated by the imperial brother, obviously he did it according to the imperial brother's orders, but now it's good, those ministers whose daughters were returned all felt that it was because of him that his daughter couldn't enter the palace, but he still had nowhere to shout grievances!

Now that he is in the court, he will be given a copy of ginseng almost every day, so that he doesn't even dare to go out of the palace now, for fear that if he accidentally commits something, he will be retaliated against by the large group of officials he offended, and his life is becoming more and more aggrieved.

"Since His Royal Highness King Yan has arrived, why don't you stand here and not go in? Your Majesty has been waiting for Your Highness for a long time! As soon as Shang Jing came out of the Zichen Palace, he saw Xie Lingzhen standing outside the hall sighing!

"This king is going in!" Xie Lingzhen took a deep breath and reluctantly stepped into the Zichen Palace, and after Shang Jing stepped forward and introduced him into the study of the Zichen Palace, he respectfully retreated.

Xie Ronghua was reviewing the recital, and when he heard the voice, he didn't even raise his head and said, "If you come, sit down first!" ”

Xie Lingzhen sat down on the side, making a lot of noise, Xie Ronghua heard the sound, put down the pen in his hand, looked up at him and smiled: "What, who made His Royal Highness King Yan unhappy?" ”

"Brother Chen is not unhappy!" He said this, but his tone was not necessarily good.

Xie Ronghua casually picked up a copy of the stack of folds at hand and threw it to him, and said with a smile: "Look, these are all the folds that you have participated in, and you have offended a lot of people recently." ”

Xie Lingzhen took it and looked at it, and said with an ugly face: "Brother Huang, you are knowingly asking, how did I offend them, isn't Brother Huang the best!" ”

Xie Ronghua looked at his fried hair, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I know that you have been wronged, so didn't I help you suppress these impeachments?" ”

Xie Lingzhen pursed his lips and said angrily: "Then I thank the imperial brother, what did the imperial brother do when he summoned me to the palace today?" It's not just to talk to me, is it? ”

Xie Ronghua shook his head and smiled, "Naturally not, I have something to arrange for you to do?" ”

Xie Lingzhen's face changed when he heard his words, like a frightened bird: "Brother Huang, why don't you wait for me to breathe a sigh of relief, and then let me do those things that offend people?" ”

Xie Ronghua laughed when he heard this, and sighed: "Do you really think that I will arrange for you to do the things of sinners?" ”

Xie Lingzhen looked at him, Xie Ronghua restrained his smile, and his expression became serious: "There is news from Cui Jianyun's side, there are disputes within the Khitan clan now, and there is internal turmoil, it is a good time for us to take it in one fell swoop, you have now become a thorn in the side of the ministers in Chang'an, I plan to appoint you to command 20,000 elite soldiers to join Cui Jianyun and Zong Zhengming in the court tomorrow, and launch a general attack on the Khitan, and when you return victorious, they will almost forget about you helping me choose a concubine." “

Xie Lingzhen fell silent when he heard this, he looked at Xie Ronghua and hesitated: "Does the imperial brother have to capture the Khitan?" After all, Princess Yelu helped us, that year the imperial brother left Jingzhou with the army the day before the negotiation, if it was not for Princess Yelu to help the imperial brother on the second day, the negotiation would not have been able to go smoothly, it can be said that if it was not for her, the imperial brother did not know what kind of dangerous situation he would face, she helped us breathe, and now we are going to destroy the Khitan, the younger brother always feels that it is too ungrateful to do so. ”

"Ungrateful......" Xie Ronghua repeated in a low voice, the past came to mind, he smiled bitterly: "You are right, for Yeluyan, I can indeed only be described as ungrateful, but I am the emperor, from the day I ascended the throne, I will be responsible for the entire world of Wei, once when the world was in turmoil, in order to get a chance to breathe, we had to bow down to the Khitan, and various forces competed to please the Khitan, you were still young at that time, so you didn't experience that kind of taste, obviously pressed you to the extreme, If you don't defeat the Khitan, how can I make them believe that I can allow them to live in peace and stability, and allow them to live in peace and prosperity, you have been on the battlefield with me, you should understand that the law of the world is the law of the world, and I can't let go of the hard-won opportunity because of a woman's kindness, even if you and everyone think I am ungrateful, Despicable and shameless, this attack, I am also imperative! “

Xie Lingzhen listened to his words, his heart trembled, he stood up, and said in a deep voice: "The hard work of the imperial brother, the younger brother understands, this expedition, the younger brother will definitely live up to the trust of the imperial brother." ”

Xie Ronghua nodded and said, "You step back first, the specific arrangements will be announced tomorrow in the morning." ”

Xie Lingzhen nodded, but he didn't leave immediately, he looked at Xie Ronghua and couldn't help but say: "Second brother, before Lingzhen leaves, can you ask the second brother what the second brother wants to do about choosing a concubine?" “

He couldn't see through him, but he knew that if he asked him to choose a concubine for him, it meant that he didn't let go of his knot and wanted to start over.

Xie Ronghua was stunned, he didn't expect him to ask this question suddenly, he took off the old sachet on his waist, stroked it gently, and muttered, "What does Lingzhen think I'm for?" ”

Xie Lingzhen's breath stagnated because of his movements, and he said in a dumb voice: "Second brother, if you are sober, she will not come back!" ”

"I know she's not coming back, but because she's gone, do you think the promise between me and her should be written off, and I should let her go and live according to your ideas? The letter she left me made me forget her, and you want me to let her go, but why should I listen to you, listen to her, and not choose to follow my own heart? Xie Ronghua replied with lowered eyes, his face was as calm as water, and there was no sadness or joy in his tone!

"Second brother......" Xie Lingzhen called in a deep voice, but he didn't know how to explain him, what he should say and do, they had already said and done, they originally thought that time could smooth out the pain in his heart, but seeing him like this now, he was clearly trapped in the cage of memories, and the only one who could release him was that person, but she was no longer there!
