Chapter 417: The Ending (7)
Chapter 417: Ending (7)
If it is in the capital, which position is the most eye-catching, Princess Yuyang thinks that it should be the commander of this Gyeonggi Guard.
In fact, this Gyeonggi Wei envoy has been in charge for a long time, but there are few people who can do it. For nearly a decade, this gold medal has been in the hands of the emperor. There are only two deputy envoys in Gyeonggiwei, so there is no serious envoy at all. But he didn't want to, the emperor actually handed over this gold medal to Qi Lu.
"Your Majesty has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility?" Princess Yuyang opened her mouth suspiciously.
She also thought that the emperor had a lot of suspicions about Qi Lu in his heart, and he summoned him to the palace this time to make a complete decision. Princess Yuyang's heart has always been carried since Qi Lu went out. Although she was laughing with Xie Ke, there was always a tight string in her heart, for fear that something would happen. Now that Qi Lu has returned safely and has been entrusted with important tasks by the emperor, although he inevitably has some doubts in his heart, this is a good thing.
Presumably, the emperor has finally repented and wants to keep this son.
But when Xie Ke heard this, he couldn't be happy in his heart. Gyeonggi Guard? It was Gyeonggi Wei who once broke into the Qi Mansion and finally caused Cong Rui to die. She had promised in front of several girls that she would definitely avenge Cong Rui, but now Qi Lu has taken over Gyeonggi Wei. How to repay this revenge?
In her previous life, Qi Lu helped King Xiang ascend the throne, and in this life, she did her best to keep him away from King Xiang.
But in the end, the emperor ordered him to involve him and the king of Xiang.
If he obeyed the emperor's order, but what the emperor ordered him to do was to help King Xiang, knowing that it would not be a Ming monarch. But Qi Lu had to act as a tiger according to the emperor's order at this time. This feeling really made Xie Ke both shocked and frightened.
I'm afraid that in the end, things will still be like in the previous life.
Qi Lu became the confidant of the King of Xiang...... Then, do evil in the capital. If it really turns out to be like that, is she alive, and is she really luckier than dead? Xie Ke didn't know that Xu was aware of Xie Ke's distraction, Qi Lu chatted with Princess Yuyang for a few more words, and then took Xie Ke to the guest house on the grounds that he was tired.
Entering the house, Xie Ke shook off Qi Lu.
Qi Lu's expression was inexplicable, this is since they met. Xie Ke shook off his arm without hesitation for the first time. In the past, it was the little girl who was angry with him. He has never acted steadily, and he has never been so exposed. Could it be that Aunt Yuyang said something to her when he was away? So that she was so unstable at this time?
"Sister Bao, but when I'm not there. What's going on in Fuchu? ”
Xie Ke shook his head. She knew she shouldn't be angry with Qi Lu. At this time, the last thing she should do was to have a quarrel with Qi Lu, even if he was happy with the position of the emperor giving him. She should also persuade him not to be in the whirlpool of the capital.
He wanted to meet the emperor before he died, and he wanted to solve the mystery of his own background, which she could understand and support.
Now that the emperor has seen it, his body and Princess Yuyang have also told her word for word, so Xie Ke feels that it should be an opportunity for them to retreat.
The things that have been discussed for a long time are now happening step by step. Xie Ke didn't want to wait until the little uncle really attacked the capital, and they were still here, wouldn't this be a hindrance to the little uncle. In Xie Ke's opinion, they can go back to Yecheng, if Qi Lu doesn't want to, he can stay out of the matter, and let his little uncle Chu Ye do all this.
Xie Ke believes that if one day in the future, the little uncle knows Qi Lu's life experience, he will definitely look at Qi Lu differently.
Because, perhaps, in this world, the only one who can really be called a little uncle and relative is Qi Lu.
But is Qi Lu really willing to leave at this time? The more Xie Ke thought about it, the more he felt that the current situation was the same as in his previous life. After thinking about it, she couldn't think of a good way to resolve all this in front of her. She's afraid, she's really afraid. I'm afraid that no matter how hard I try, Qi Lu will still follow the crooked path of the previous life.
Qi Lu saw that Xie Ke's face was pale, and she didn't respond to his question. This is really not like what Xie Ke did, so Qi Lu didn't care about Xie Ke's mood, and stepped forward to grab Xie Ke to stop her from continuing to walk around the house. "Sister Bao, we are husband and wife." The implication was that there was nothing she couldn't say to him.
Xie Ke calmed down and told himself that there was still a chance to redeem everything.
Qi Lu is not the Qi Lu of the previous life, Qi Lu is now her husband, and they also have a daughter who is far away in Yecheng, so Qi Lu must not be like the previous life, and finally became the dog of the King of Xiang. I won't ...... "Ah Lu, my heart is very messy." How could Your Majesty make you the head of the Gyeonggi Guard? You received the gold medal immediately, do you want to stay in Beijing for a long time? So what about Yecheng? What to do with Mingyue?
I miss my daughter, Alu, I miss Mingyue. Xie Ke said with red eyes, as soon as her words came out, Qi Lu breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he just missed his daughter, and he was just afraid that he would take over Gyeonggi Wei and be disgusted with the time to return to Yecheng. This stupid girl, if you have something to say, tell him well, why should he look like this, so that he thinks that something happened in the house during the day, so that she is so depressed.
"I also want to be Mingyue, Sister Bao, don't worry, this Gyeonggi Wei envoy doesn't plan to do it for a long time. It's just a stopgap measure.
Since the emperor has the intention to let the king of Xiang ascend the throne, then we will help the king of Xiang.
Don't worry, listen to the husband slowly......
Brother Qingqian said that the king of Xiang was destined to ascend the throne. In the past, I didn't believe in fate, I always felt that my fate was up to me, as long as I thought, there is nothing in this world that I can't do. But in the past few years, I have also counted things.
That thinking has long since changed.
I believe in fate. I believe what Brother Qingqian said. I don't want to disobey God. That's why I'm here to help. It's just that Brother Qingqian also said that King Xiang will not be a good emperor, and after King Xiang ascends the throne, it will make Great Wei quickly decline.
The people will have no livelihood. At that time, I am sure that I can make peace with Chu Ye in Beijing.
Sister Bao, can you trust me? He asked, did she trust him? In this world, she can not trust anyone, she can even not believe herself, but Qi Lu, she believes. She's really stupid, thinking about the problem and always thinking about the worst outcome. But he's Qi Lu, he's no one else. He's the Qi Lu she trusts. Even if she was to sit on the dragon chair, she should believe that he would not covet that position.
It's just that it's a risky move.
Xie Ke finally nodded slightly under Qi Lu's urgent gaze. Qi Lu smiled, smiling very happily, and he took Xie Ke into his arms. Soft channel. "What a good girl for me. Two years at most, and after two years, we will have a clear sky for the people of the world. ”
The next day, Qi Lu officially took over as the head of the Gyeonggi Guard, and that night, he took a few Gyeonggi Guards back to the Yuyang Princess Mansion.
As for the Gyeonggi Guard, who followed him out of the mansion on the second day, they had already been replaced by the Qi Mansion guards, as for the original Gyeonggi Guards...... Lin Changyuan and He Zhang went out of the city at the same time the next day. It is said that I went to Daifukuzawa-ji Temple.
And Cong Rui, who died for Xie Ke, and several guards, were buried on the back hill of Dafuze Temple.
That evening, He Zhang and Lin Changyuan returned home together, and it is said that the two were drunk. The chatter finally avenged Cong Rui......
***
The emperor waited on his sickbed for another three months, and finally died in early autumn.
The whole country mourns with the Great Wei. The new emperor's accession to the throne was scheduled on the seventh day after the burial of the first emperor. The old ministers used the reason that the country could not be left without an owner for a day, and they all played in unison to invite the king of Hunan to be the great **** king. The emperor, now he should be called the first emperor, the first emperor is until death, and there is no edict to depose the crown prince, and naturally there will be no edict to canonize the king of Xiang as the new monarch.
It is said that on the day of the emperor's funeral, the prince was so sad that he died suddenly in the middle of the night.
The next day, the crown princess Kong asked for a decree to go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the mausoleum for the prince, with the affection of the whole husband and wife. The new emperor Yunzhi, half a month after the prince's burial, sent Kong's mother and son to the imperial mausoleum...... This time, naturally there was no news.
Because there is no edict from the first emperor, although there is the support of the ministers of the court and the central government for the ascension of the king of Xiang, there will inevitably be dissenting voices.
At this time, the second son of Qi, who had disappeared in Beijing for several months, suddenly appeared, and blocked Gyeonggi Wei in one fell swoop.
Gyeonggiwei is originally a hateful and jealous existence. And in Beijing, it's simply pervasive. Qi Lu appeared only five days ago, and there was no opposition in Beijing. Really, I'm afraid of being killed.
Although the second son of Qi had a bad reputation before, since he solved the danger of the northern border and the danger of the food disaster in the south. Fame can be said to be in full swing. Regarding his sudden departure from Beijing, there are still many unknown people who complain about it, saying that his merits are enough to make a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, but the emperor did something to unload the mill and kill the donkey.
For this reason, the reputation of the first emperor plummeted.
But since he took over the helm of Gyeonggi Guard, Gyeonggi Guard has become a nightmare for the people of the capital. A casual complaint during the day, and a Gyeonggi guard slammed the door at night. Those literati are even more miserable, what they wrote with their pen in the past, but no one cares, that is, they directly write a limerick poem to scold a corrupt official, and it will only make the corrupt official cold, no matter what, no one dares to touch them, after all, the pen is powerful and can kill people invisibly.
But since Qi Lu took office.
first put a few scholars in prison in a grand manner, and then injured a few in front of the people. After that, no one among the literati dared to write some poems about the insinuation of the king of Xiang.
The good reputation that Qi Er Gongzi had accumulated before collapsed in an instant. Even the Qi Mansion, which was neglected by the death of the prince, was also 'loved' by the people because of Qi Law, and every day there were people who threw stones and rotten leaves across the wall.
In the past, Qi Lu's reputation could stop children from crying at night, but now it makes children cry when they hear it.
This person, it's hard to get a good name. But if you want to ruin this good reputation, it's really easy...... Since the new monarch succeeded to the throne, the entire capital has not dared to say the word 'Qi Lu'.
That means either death or injury. Even if he hurt someone, the emperor never held him accountable. was even pressed by the courtiers to ask in a hurry, and the emperor replied with a sneer. "It's just that a few people were injured, and Qi Lu helped me ascend the throne, and I worked hard. A few dead and wounded people are really nothing. These words came out of the palace, and for a while, the entire capital was in an uproar. (To be continued.) )
