The golden bell of Chengtianmen was heavy, and it knocked a full eighty-one times.

Qin Nanxi stayed on the couch and instantly understood that this was announcing to the world that the long-ill Great Chu Emperor Long Yu had returned to heaven.

It seems that between the two brothers of the same father and brother, King Changping and King Changning, in the end, the ruthless younger brother who was willing to attack his father won a game and won the world. It had changed overnight, and she didn't have to ask about last night anymore.

Seven days later, the crown prince Zhou Huan ascended the throne and changed his name to Longqing. Chang'an City changed in response.

Chang'an, the imperial city since ancient times, is indeed a peculiar city. It is the most precious and magnificent imperial atmosphere in heaven and earth, and it is also contaminated with the most yin and evil philistine style in yin and yang. In Chang'an City, it is said that there is a person, that is, every market alley knows that the bright light on the Xuanwu Gate and the golden light on the Chengtian Gate have always been washed by the hot blood. The people who have lived in the city for a long time have already learned all kinds of self-preservation techniques from the huge shadow of the dazzling golden light.

Emperor Shaoping died, and the dignitaries in the city, some of them were like weak insects who heard the wind and hibernated, and some of them returned to their hometowns to avoid disasters, and more were like thin ice and cautious. However, even so, within twenty years, under the several holy decrees of the new emperor, the dignitaries in the city still responded. It is really in response to the old saying that feng shui takes turns, and each has its own joys and sorrows.

Among the original high-ranking eunuchs in the city, three or four out of ten were accused of all kinds of crimes, those who were exiled, those who were exiled, and even those who were sent to prison, and each family had its own desolation. And the low-level military generals who were originally far away in the Shuofang army, and the civil officials who were not in the stream along with Jiangnan, were promoted one after another, replacing the humerus in the middle of the court, and turned into a close minister of the Son of Heaven and a member of Gyeonggi.

However, in such a vicissitude, the most shining literature and martial arts and two giant stars in the first emperor's dynasty seem to have been completely forgotten. Wenzun, Shangshu ordered Lord Qin Zi'an, who was placed in the clouds by the new emperor, without a purpose, without a summons, without asking, so he had to recuperate quietly in the house. The martial god, Zhenyuan General Situ Yi, disappeared strangely, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty mentioned him, as if he had never existed in this world.

What is even more amazing is that there are two other things, one is that Qin Nanfu, who everyone expected to rise to the top, is still in his position as a scholar in his "extremely scholarly position". The other is that the newly promoted Prince Changping, in order to honor his beloved wife's last wish, asked for the funeral of the princess's former residence - Yunze in Northern Xinjiang, and kept the soul in Northern Xinjiang for a year. The new emperor was grateful for the deep affection between the prince and his wife, and Prince Yun and his entourage were posthumously crowned Situ Linlang as the princess and princess. and crowned the little prince who has not yet reached the full moon as the king of Hongyang County, and also ordered the little prince to be carried into the palace and handed over to Concubine Xiao to raise together with the princes.

Although the change of dynasty was earth-shattering, it gradually subsided. The people in the market slowly broke free from their fear, like an old turtle after a huge wave, slowly poking out their scheming heads, and living a leisurely life that has nothing to do with themselves.

Chang'an has restored its former prosperity and liveliness, and after tea and dinner, many sensational so-called truths have quietly flowed, and Xiaofei Town has been lingering in the market day by day. I heard a lot, and I didn't distinguish between true and false, so I came to make noise with Qin Nanxi.

"These are just the affairs of a son of heaven and a courtier! The left is just a wise self-preservation. It is said that when the new emperor ascended the throne ceremony that day, there were thousands of soldiers standing on the Golden Palace. If it were you, would you gamble with the lives of the Nine Clans to speak for an irrelevant general? It's just human nature, so why should you believe those people's nonsense? Brother Yi is not here today because he offended the powerful ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and he will not have been assassinated by the new emperor. Otherwise, why is there no one in the Northern Army so far? Why did the new emperor agree to King Changping's request for the burial? Qin Nanxi glanced at Xiao Fei, who was flustered, and paused for a moment before answering in a low voice. With that, she shut up and continued to sort out the scroll in her hand.

These books in the family library are my father's treasures, and they are also the soul of his lonely years. These old and yellowed pages in front of me, exposed in the sunlight for a few days, exude a faint fragrance of old ink, lingering around, making people have no escape, as if it is a secret hidden in the folds of time, with the sunshine washing, it will show a strange track, and there is nowhere to hide.

"Why is there no one in the Northern Army who is degraded, and he knows that the general is all right? What does the new emperor Yun Changping Wang's burial have to do with these? Xiao Fei's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he chased after Qin Nanxi, who was busy back and forth, and asked.

Qin Nanxi's subordinates paused, then stroked the wind-blown pages in his hand, gently closed the book, put it on the stack that had been sorted out at hand, lowered his eyes and whispered: "I said that Brother Yi has hidden his whereabouts and has not been found by the new emperor, but I have not said that he must be all right." ”

"Then, as long as he is not given by the emperor Lao'er, Lao'er...... That's it, that's good! Then there will always be a ...... day" Xiao Fei stroked his heart and was relieved. After that, he turned around and picked up a stack of books, followed Qin Nanxi into the library building, and continued: "Look, you yourself also believe that the general is safe, since he is just hiding, why don't we go look for him?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Nanxi's footsteps suddenly fixed in front of the tall red sandalwood bookshelf, and after a while, he slowly turned around, stared at Xiaofei and asked softly, "Looking for him?" Why are you looking for him? How do you find it? ”

Xiao Fei blinked and sputtered: "You, you are his fiancée, of course, of course you want to find him, him." Doesn't he still have some letters in our hands? I went to look for Liu Qi again, and when I found Liu Qi, I naturally found him. ”

Qin Nanxi listened to it and smiled bitterly, his fiancée, the identity that the first emperor deliberately created for her, now, the first emperor has passed away, and the Qianning Palace has changed its owner, and this identity is still digital? Even if she still counts, even if she still clearly remembers the sentence "Unless the sky and the earth change, the blue sea is dry, and the snow waves stop, otherwise this oath will never be violated" and will he still remember? Even if he still remembers, will the souls of Situ Linlang, Mama Cheng and Mo Dan allow him to remember?

Turning around and using the posture of stacking the books on the shelf, Qin Nanxi avoided Xiao Fei and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said softly: "Silly Xiao Fei, you were also there that day, do you think he will let me find him after that day?" After that, he lowered his eyes and looked at the rows of book spines in front of him, and said with a hollow look: "As long as I know that he is safe, I still don't bother him, but will harm him!" ”

Xiao Fei couldn't understand the sadness in Qin Nanxi's heart, and he was bent on going to find Situ Yi, but said: "That's not your fault!" What do you do all the time? If he doesn't see him, you'll find him, but what if your father looks for him? When it was so crisis, when you mentioned your father, he let your brother go. It can be seen that the general is very unusual to your father. ”

Qin Nanxi shook his head and said, "My father can't look for him, the current peace here for my father should have been agreed with the new emperor earlier." But haven't you noticed? How many adults who used to come to visit their father have never been there since the new emperor ascended the throne? In the current situation, everyone can be well, so why bother? My father is looking for him, and he may only have a deep teacher-student relationship with you, but with the new emperor, he is afraid that he will be rebellious. ”

Xiao Fei scratched his head and said, "Huh? So serious? ”

Qin Nanxi nodded and said, "Not only can't my father look for him, but you can't go find him either." ”

"Why?"

"Do you want someone to follow you to find him and assassinate him?" Qin Nanxi raised his eyebrows and stared at Xiao Fei, with a faint warning in his eyes.

"Huh?! I, I'm just a gangster, I'm just a general, a friend, maybe not even a friend. ”

Qin Nanxi put down the book in his hand and said solemnly: "Xiaofei, the important thing is not who you are, the important thing is where is Brother Yi?" They are as anxious as you are to find him. On that day, the black-clothed people who escorted Brother Yi away at the end were acting strangely, and those people were not Brother Yi's people at all. Also, why do you think there is no change in the personnel of the army in the north? Why did the new emperor favor Prince Changping to help the princess return to Yunze? ”

"This, these..."Xiao Fei is just a hard-working girl who wanders in the rivers and lakes, and she can't imagine the twists and turns.

Qin Nanxi took a deep breath before slowly speaking, telling the result of her repeated thoughts in her heart over the past few days......
