(Chapter 308)
Cen Xi issued an edict, on the grounds that Pei Lu was old and had many merits, he was exempted from the death penalty, and was assigned to the frontier to set an example, and his grandson Pei Ling was also implicated, removed from the post of Jingzhou Assassin and demoted to the remote Tunyi County, the responsibility of the main county, as for the servants of Pei's mansion, they were all based on the old calendar and disposed of separately.
I rode a horse to the gate of the capital, at this time Pei Ling, who entered the capital early in the morning to listen to the holy decree, had already sorted out all the things that should be sorted out, if I took a step at night, he would probably leave.
"I didn't know that Master Pei would suddenly get seriously ill last night, you wait for me a little longer, I will go and ask the prince to let you stay in the capital for a while for treatment, you ......" I said very urgently, my eyes were fixed on Pei Ling's face, but before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by him.
"No need." Pei Ling shook his head and refused, "Grandfather, he can save his life, I am already grateful to you, don't anger the prince for me anymore, his current identity is different from the past, you need to be cautious in front of him." ”
"But ......"
"Actually, I should have advised my grandfather a long time ago, but sometimes people's desires are really filmable, if you stay in the money and power for a long time, sooner or later you will be confused by them, and now the prince has demoted me from the capital, and he has been kind enough to let my grandfather go with me to Tunyi County to live, so for me, for my grandfather, it is not a good thing."
I pursed my lips, my face froze for a moment, but in the end I could only respect him.
"The environment in Tunyi County is difficult, if you have any trouble, write to me, and I will do my best to help you."
Pei Ling's eyes were slightly moist, and he nodded to me, but there was nothing extra to say.
"Shall I give you a ride?" After a long silence, I barely pulled out a smile and said to him.
Pei Ling shook his head, "It's good here, Huaishu and they are all separated from me here." ”
I knew he was afraid that I would be implicated because of him, and that if I insisted on sending him, he would be upset, but...... After so many years of classmates, how can I calmly face today's parting?
"The capital is still thousands of miles away from Tunyi County, so I'll send you ten miles, which is not too much." I said.
Pei Ling wanted to refuse my kindness, but I had already turned over and got on the horse, just waiting for him to set off.
"You......." Pei Ling shook his head and smiled, and no longer let him waste time, he got on the horse like me, and ordered the servants below, "Let's go." ”
The convoy began to move forward slowly, and I rode beside Pei Ling, but I was relatively speechless.
Ten miles long pavilion Siliansi, half a life floating and nowhere to go, prosperous like a dream in a blink of an eye, who stands in the twilight rain?
Whether it's a returnee or an old person, it seems that I am always the one outside the dream.
The most sober, but also the saddest.
"This is a long and dangerous road, so you must be very careful." As soon as I pulled the reins, the horse's hooves stopped, and I turned my head to look at Pei Ling beside me, and said.
Pei Ling nodded and said to me, "Go back quickly." ”
I looked at him and didn't speak.
Pei Ling took a deep breath and rode his horse to continue walking, but before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned his back to me and said, "Backwards, there is a chance...... Let's not say goodbye. ”
I was stunned.
But the young man in the long shirt had already beaten his horse away, and he didn't even have a chance to regret it.
"Pei Ling......"
After all, he couldn't face the fight and hurt between me and Peiru.
Maybe people who are gentle are soft-hearted.
Lowering my eyes slightly, I clenched the reins in my hand and turned back to the capital.
Now that the situation is turbulent and Cen Xi is in power, he asked me to recuperate at home for a few days, and I can't go against his will, but I have never been a person who can recuperate quietly.
"Lord Shen Xiang, your injuries have been getting better day by day, but why are you so restless today?" The Imperial Physician looked up and asked me.
I gave him a blank look, sat up from the bed, straightened my clothes, and was about to go out of the house, but the imperial doctor was shocked and quickly stopped me.
"Why, now that Ben Lian doesn't have the right to leave the room? That's what the prince commanded you? I folded my arms and looked at the Imperial Doctor who had stopped me with a look of pride.
Dare to stop me on my turf, this really doesn't put my face in the face!
"Your Excellency," the imperial doctor only said one word, then bowed his head and knelt down, I was shocked, but I heard him say, "Now it is windy and snowy outside, and your body is just better, if you go out and catch a cold at this moment, how should the lower official explain to His Highness?" I beg the adults to see that the lower officials have treated you for many years, and they will ...... Let's give Xia Guan a way to live. ”
Breathless, I closed my eyes and turned back into the house. Quick Eye 123
Cen Xi didn't want me to have contact with the outside world, and his means never cared whether they were despicable or noble, as long as they were clever enough.
I don't know what he secretly threatens the imperial doctor......
"Stand down, close the door, I'm going to rest."
The Imperial Physician looked up at me, answered, stood up and exited the door, shutting it with both hands.
Listening carefully to the footsteps outside the room, I waited for the people to go away, so I turned around and locked the door from the inside, and sneaked out of the window.
The snow outside was really heavy, and the silver millet for several days was weighing heavily on the dead branches near and far, and I don't know which snowflakes would fall again and break the dead branches.
Because I didn't want to be discovered, I didn't ride a horse, and I shuttled quickly through the snow, I didn't feel cold, but sometimes I was blinded by the snowflakes, and it was a little cold.
By the time I landed in the Zheliu Pavilion, Cai Yu and the others had been waiting for me for a long time.
"I said she'd come, right?" Cai Yu patted He Qiong's shoulder, but he frowned without wanting He Qiong.
"You snuck out, didn't you?" He Qiong was sure, "Do you do this, are you sure it's okay?" ”
I lifted my clothes and sat down at the stone table, and Yang Huaishu, who came out on leave, immediately poured me a cup of tea.
"It's okay, why is it okay? I didn't do anything. I waved my hand, and while drinking tea, I looked at General Xuanyi, who was watching the snow outside the pavilion, "Hewei, you have been away from the capital for so long, why don't you come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see me first when you come back?" ”
Shaking his head slightly, the cold general walked in from outside the pavilion, he looked at me, and there was a slight warm smile in his eyes, "You are a lazy character, if I go to your place, I am afraid that I will not even be able to drink a cup of hot tea, besides, I have just returned to Beijing, how can I be free?" ”
"Brother Jiang is very right," Yang Huaishu saw that my cup was empty, so he added some warm tea to me, "These days, Shen Xiang is very busy, one moment is Lu Fuzi's rebellion, and the other is Pei Taifu's seizure of power, and now the court can be stable, her credit is not small." ”
"Whereever, it's still your classmates who are willing to help." I stood up and bowed respectfully to everyone present.
Cai Yucough didn't expect that in this life, when I thanked him, he was so happy that tears were about to come out, and the rest of the people were also laughing, but they were different, some were forbearing, and some didn't give any face.
It's fun, maybe that's what it looks like.
If...... If only it weren't for this willow pavilion today.
"Today's snow is much lighter than yesterday's." I took the cup and stood by the railing with my hands in my hands.
"Yes," He Qiong walked to my side, "It's also a lot colder than yesterday. ”
As soon as my eyes were hot, I quickly raised my head and drank the tea clean.
He Qiong was also uncomfortable, so she didn't mention anything else, and pulled me back to sit back.
"Come," he said, placing a jug of wine on the table, "and we're going to get drunk today." ”
I didn't do it right away, but Cai Yu took the first step and filled everyone with a glass of wine.
"Farewell today, I don't know when I will see you again in the future, you must take care of yourself in the future." Cai Yu swept his gaze away from everyone, and when he waited on my face, he paused deliberately and told me a good news, "Don't always feel that you are sorry for me, to intercede for your third sister is my own volition, you don't owe me, and, although I was degraded this time, but yesterday Rong'er suddenly woke up, I thought, maybe this is the blessing that God gave me." ”
"Sister-in-law, is she awake?" I was surprised and delighted, but the next second my mood darkened again," Cen Xi ...... ...... you"
"It's Tuzhou, you've been there." Cai Yu smiled and patted me on the shoulder, "You should also know the prince's intentions, Tuzhou is located in a fortress, and there should always be someone you trust to put it in order." ”
"Tuzhou? So where was Zhao Cheng transferred? I asked.
"I heard that he went to Qizhou to become the prefect," He Qiong answered this question for Cai Yu, "Zhao Cheng is a person who is very ambitious, and His Royal Highness dares to transfer him to Qizhou, which is really bold." ”
"People who have desires and desires are much easier to control than people who have no desires, maybe His Highness saw this and handed over such an important place to him." Yang Huaishu said.
"Speaking of which," Cai Yu hooked He Qiong and He Wei's necks with his hand, "I heard that you have all been promoted, Brother He is the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Brother Jiang is ...... The great general of the border? For such a happy event, don't forget to make up for the wine and food of the Mandarin Duck Pavilion in the future. ”
"What?" I Huo Ran got up, his eyes fixed on Jiang Hewei, "So, you're leaving soon?" ”
Jiang Hewei glared at Cai Yu, who was open-mouthed, and shrugged his hand away.
"My father has already submitted his resignation and return to his hometown today, and early tomorrow morning, I will send my father to Jiangnan first, and then go to the battlefield." He glanced at me, and then looked away, "Tomorrow we will leave very early, you don't come to send it, today's practice will also be counted as my share." ”
"You!" I was a little angry, but I couldn't say anything for a while.
"Okay, okay, we don't have much time to spend with each other, and we're still so noisy, is it really when we were in the academy?" Yang Huaishu stood up, holding the wine glass in his hand and raised it at us, "Drinking, wine can relieve sorrow and eliminate sorrow, and only it can make people feel the most happy in the world." ”
