Chapter 206: Peaceful Follow-up
After the emperor came out of the prison, he did not return to the palace, but changed into civilian clothes and strolled to the west mountain behind the palace.
Standing on the top of the mountain, he looked at the great rivers and mountains in front of him with his hands, and secretly thought in his heart: Liu Yikang's rebellion has been eliminated, Tan Daoji has also been killed, and now there is only this Xie Lang left. As long as there is no such internal trouble, and I can recuperate for a few more years, I will be able to carry out the Northern Expedition, unify the Central Plains, and complete the great cause that no one has completed for hundreds of years!
Thinking of Xie Lang, he thought of Ji again. He didn't expect that Xie Lang, who even gave up the Xie clan of Chenjun, should have been captured, but he didn't expect that there would be a Ji clan waving the flag and shouting for him.
Thinking of Xie Lang and Ji Ji, the emperor paced, he thought for a while, and said: The world says that these celebrities have no eyes and dust, and treat mundane things as trouble, and other people don't say it, Xie Lang seems to be a real superb.
You must know that if he is not a true Chaoyi, he will not even give up his family, if he is not really Chaoyi, he will not take the initiative to compromise with him under the premise that the Ji family has a good situation now.
After thinking about it, the emperor flicked his sleeves back to the palace.
So, after four months, Xie 18 reappeared in Jiankang. And on the day he appeared, the emperor issued a decree, saying that Xie Eighteen had a noble character, and that he had defended the national body and promoted the prestige of our country many times. The emperor thanked him for his merits, and issued a holy decree, Xu Xie Lang was the king of Taiping County, and Ji was the concubine of Taiping County, and gave two people a golden book and iron coupon, which said: Thank Xie Lang for his merits, so that Qing will always be favored and honored, and he will be rich and noble. Qing forgives nine deaths, women forgive nine deaths, and children and grandchildren die three deaths. or committing a regular sentence, the division shall not increase the responsibility. And wrote in the back: Take my oath. To the admiration. It is advisable to pay the history museum and issue it to the world.
This kind of golden book and iron coupon, which has existed since the Han Dynasty, is a kind of covenant certificate, usually divided into two, half for Xie Lang to hold, and the other half for the royal family to keep the bottom.
In this way, the proclamation of the holy decree of the world, as well as the issuance of the golden book and iron coupon of the world, are still very binding. On the second day of receiving this golden book and iron coupon, the Xie family of Chen County opened the ancestral hall. drove Xie Lang out of the Xie clan branch of Chen County. Credited to the side branch, independent of an account.
If you want to say that Xie Lang got the golden book iron coupon in the front, which made the Jiankang people happy and encouraged, then he opened the matter of the Xie clan of Chenjun later. But it caused an uproar.
Jiankang people said so. What do the major scholars say? How disappointed the sisters-in-law and Xiaolang are, these Xie Lang don't care. On the third day, after kowtowing a few times in front of Xie Mu. Slowly walked out of the Chen County Xie clan.
On this day, all the descendants of the Xie family of Chenjun were watching Xie Lang leave. They knew that as long as Xie Lang came out of this door, he would no longer be Xie Eighteen from now on, just Xie Lang.
When Xie Lang came to the dock, he happened to meet Xie Twenty-nine, who was hurrying back. When the brothers met, Xie Twenty-nine burst into tears.
After a while, Xie Twenty-Nine strode in front of Xie Lang. Now, Xie Twenty-nine's identity is higher than Xie Lang's, and when Xie Lang bowed his head and saluted, Xie Twenty-nine rushed to him and hugged his brother tightly.
After a while, Xie Twenty-nine turned his head and said, "You go back first, if your mother asks, she will say that I will give Ah Lang a ride." ”
Speaking of this, Xie Twenty-nine pulled Xie Lang towards the boat.
Entering the wing, Xie Twenty-nine put the deed paper of the house and field shop that he helped Ji Ji put in front of Xie Lang, and after he accepted it, Xie Twenty-nine said with tears: "I don't believe it, isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds in this world?" ”
Xie Lang smiled bitterly, he looked at Xie Twenty-nine who was in pain, and after thinking about it, he still said: "On that day, I was just taken to the position of heir by the family, and I was sunk on the Yangtze River by someone on the back foot......"
Xie Twenty-nine was taken aback, and he said awe-inspiringly, "Brother, what do you mean by this?" ”
Xie Lang shook his head and said, "The matter is over. ”
Xie Twenty-nine said hurriedly: "No, the matter has not passed at all!" Thinking of that scene, he said in a trembling voice: "Brother, does it mean that the family has communicated with the emperor?" ”
Xie Lang was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "The family just gave up on me. As soon as he said this, Xie Twenty-nine sat down and couldn't speak for a long time. 、
Seeing him like this, Xie Lang slowly stood up, looked at the traffic in Jiankang City through the window, and said slowly: "Don't think too much. After all, as long as I am still Chen Jun Xie XVIII, the emperor will always be suspicious and wary of me. ”
As soon as his voice fell, a low voice came from outside the cabin door, "Yes, whether it is your Chenjun Xie clan or my Langya Wang clan, once the child is too outstanding, it will be jealous of those in power." It's a sin we are born with, and we can't change it. But it was the twelfth king of Langya who pushed the door in.
Seeing that it was him, Xie Lang smiled. He was locked up in prison for several months, and the little meat he had finally raised was almost gone, but this smile was very bright.
Seeing his smiling face, Langya King Twelve sank his face, he gave Xie Lang a roll of his eyes, and after sitting down lazily on the couch on one side, he said: "Twenty-nine Lang may not know, just after your eighteenth brother degraded himself out of the family, the emperor asked me in the palace. He said, everyone in the world is the king of Xie, do you know how the twelve kings of Langya are compared to Xie Lang? Do you need to take precautions? ”
As soon as King Langya XII's words came out, the cabin fell silent. To the Xie brothers, Langya King Twelve said: "The palace people said at that time that although Langya King Twelve is talented, he is not a celebrity, and his reputation is not as good as Xie Lang's, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being. ”
When King Langya Twelfth said this, the two people in the cabin were unusually silent. I don't know how long he was silent, Xie Lang said softly: "This is also a matter of no choice. "This is really no way, unless Xie Lang or Langya King Twelve become emperors themselves, otherwise, with their family and talents, any emperor will not be at ease.
At this time, King Langya XII turned to Xie Lang and asked, "How did you come up with the idea of taking this step?" In a blink of an eye, he said: "Although the world says that you are willing to give up, but there are few people who can really give up, Xie Lang, you are trying to survive with a broken arm this time." ”
In the gaze of Langya King Twelve and Xie Twenty-nine, Xie Lang smiled, he lowered his eyes, elegantly picked up a few glasses of wine, and tasted it slowly, Xie Lang said slowly: "It's just unwilling." If I die, I will die, but my woman is very troubled to me. ”
I didn't expect Xie Lang's reason to be so strong, Langya King Twelve laughed, and Xie Twenty-nine on one side was also a joy.
In a blink of an eye, Xie Lang said again: "Actually, before I was imprisoned, I had a conversation with my mother. At that time, my mother said that today, she only asks for my peace. Later, after I was in prison for several months, I thought about my mother's words and came up with such a method. Speaking of this, Xie Lang said in a hoarse voice: "It's just that after all, I'm sorry for the love that my mother and patriarch have always had." ”
After the three of them had spoken for a while, Xie Lang personally sent Xie Twenty-nine and Langya Wang Twelve away, and then, standing at the bow of the boat, he saw his mother standing there motionless from a distance, watching him go away.
When Xie Lang's ship sailed to Jingzhou, Ji Ji, who got the news, was simply ecstatic.
Since Xie Lang is safe, there is no need for many arrangements. At that moment, Ji Ji thanked many followers and gave them the golden queen to disperse. The people around Ji Ji, their purpose was to rescue Xie Lang. Now that Xie Lang has been rescued, there is no need to worry about his life, everyone is in a happy mood, and he left happily.
After dealing with all this, Ji Ji quietly found a house in Nanyang and settled down temporarily. You know, she is now seven months pregnant, and she is already a pot-bellied woman.
Ever since she had this child, Ji Ji has been on the go. frightened, anxious and troubled, for various reasons, Ji Ji's whole person was so thin. But the thinner she was, the bigger her belly became.
With such a big belly, Ji Ji couldn't go anywhere, so she simply found a place to settle down, just waiting for Xie Lang to come over.
However, Ji Ji landed in Nanyang this time, but she covered her whereabouts.
Why? Because the news that her Ji family is Ji Yue, in addition to angering the emperor, it also attracted the dissatisfaction of countless people in the Daomen, as well as some old-fashioned and stubborn Zongheng family and Guigumen people. In the past, there were countless followers around her, and these people couldn't help her, but now that the followers have been scattered by her, Ji Ji's entry and exit should be careful.
It was precisely with this in mind that Xie Lang left on the third day after hurriedly finishing his errands. At the same time, because he was not at ease with her, Xie Lang's friend Tan Zhirui simply came from Guangling County and deliberately stayed by Ji Ji's side, ready to help her hold up the portal before Xie Lang came back.
On this day, Ji Ji sat lazily on the couch with a big belly, looking at the autumn breeze and autumn scenery outside.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, but Tan Zhirui, who was wearing long hair and a light purple robe, walked in from outside.
As soon as Tan Zhirui came to Ji Ji's side, he said: "This year's winter is a little late, it's September, and the weather is still so warm. Speaking of this, Tan Zhirui said with a smile: "Fortunately, this kind of weather, otherwise Xie Lang would have suffered this time." ”
As he spoke, he saw Ji Ji, who was lazy and seemed to be sleeping, so he said, "If Madame wants to sleep, it is better to go back to the room to sleep." ”
Ji Ji opened her eyes and looked at him, shook her head and said, "I slept too much." In the blink of an eye, she asked again, "Have you sent the letter to Cui Xuan and the Northern Wei National Teacher?" Did they reply? At that time, in order to contain Emperor Liu Song, Ji Ji contacted Cui Xuan and the Northern Wei Guoshi in front of everyone, and now the turmoil is calm, but Ji Ji let the two people who went halfway back, she herself has no face to speak, so she let Tan Zhirui deal with this matter.
Tan Zhirui shook his head and said, "The letter was sent, but there has been no reply. ”
After that, Tan Zhirui beckoned the servant and asked, "If you asked the doctor to come, did you invite you?" After getting the answer of "has been invited", Tan Zhirui ordered uneasily: "Call a few more stable women." Whether it's a doctor or a stable woman, let them stay here for a few months with peace of mind. He said, as long as my wife gives birth to a child successfully, I will have a great reward here! ”
All the servants hurriedly answered with joy.
At this time, Tan Zhirui summoned his subordinates again and ordered: "It seems that there are Taoist priests in Nanyang two days ago, pay more attention." But don't show your feet, it's a very good time to keep quiet. The trilogy also hurriedly responded. (To be continued......)
