In silence, Tang Shao covered his chest with a faint pain, and said slowly:

"Li Xiang is for the country and the people, and he has done his best, and I believe in him. So let's check it out! It's been six years, six whole years! What did you find? Nothing! ”

Li Xiang's cloudy eyes rolled, and he knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, the evidence back then was conclusive, and Li Xiang also committed suicide in fear of crime. It's true."

"The evidence is all fake!"

Tang Jingruo flashed in front of Li Xiang like a ghost. Slender fingers gripped his neck fiercely. Men work hard. This matter is like Tang Jingruo's reverse scales, when he touches it, he can't help but go crazy.

Li Xiang's eyes widened, he couldn't even speak, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

A good banquet turned into a farce, and when the officials went back, they couldn't help but sigh, what is this called!

But for Tang Jingruo, one or two, they all dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Tang Shao looked at Tang Jingruo who stayed, as if he saw Xu Qian back then, both in appearance and personality, he was very similar. It is precisely because of the image that Tang Jingruo has become his guilt.

Maybe because he is older, he is becoming more and more nostalgic, looking at Tang Jingruo, he will always think of those days, fresh clothes and angry horses, and full of spirit.

Once the three of them were well-known confidants and friends in the imperial city. It has nothing to do with status, it has nothing to do with identity. They are really like-minded.

But then everything changed, and from that incident onwards, everything changed.

"Jing Ruo, what I regret the most in my life is that I didn't protect your father in the court when he fought bloodily on the battlefield, so that he could suffer from the enemy on his back."

Tang Jingruo's eyes flashed slightly, those things, after so many years, he had already been relieved.

"Father knows His Majesty's helplessness back then, this prosperous world has been as my father wants, Your Majesty doesn't need to mind."

Tang Shao's eyes were red, and after hearing Tang Jingruo's words, he smiled bitterly:

"At the beginning, I promised them that I would let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, and let the land of Dazhou be free of war. Let the name of the era under my rule be worthy of the name of prosperity and go down in history! ”

I did, but I lost them.

In fact, in the final analysis, this is a little-known heart disease of Tang Shao. Fifteen years ago, his good brother, Mingyuan Marquis Xu Qian, the general of Mingyuan, quelled the rebellion of the four countries, and made great achievements and fame.

It was the time when he was in high spirits, but he died at the hands of the imperial court.

On a ridiculous and unfounded charge.

At that time, Tang Shao was just the most unfavored prince, and he was sent to the most remote place to investigate the people's situation and carry out government affairs, perhaps because the time was too long, so long that he had forgotten the excuse to support him.

Anyway, when he came back, it was too late.

Xu Qian died in the suspicion of imperial power. After the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, who would not be afraid of the million-strong division? Rabbits and dead dogs are cooked, birds are all hidden, and there are many sharp weapons since ancient times.

So the original emperor broke the sword in his hand with his own hands.

This incident may have laid the foundation for Tang Shao's determination to fight for the throne, or it may have been an excuse for himself.

In short, he succeeded, and four years later, the elderly emperor was still on his bed. He served in front of him alone, and naturally ascended to the throne, and the first thing he did was to overturn the case for Mingyuan Marquis.

Then he found Xu Jingruo, who was secretly taken back and hidden by the prime minister, gave the country a surname, and returned the title, all he asked for was under Jiuquan, a peace of mind.

By the way, the prime minister at that time was still surnamed Li, the Li of the people of Li.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the night is as cool as water.

Song Yiyao lay in the bathtub, drowsy.

"Knock Knock"

Song Yiyao was awakened by the knock on the door and sat up suddenly.

The water is already a little cold.

She dried herself, got dressed, put on her cloak, and pushed the door open.

Outside the door, Tang Jingruo had been waiting for a long time, so he was wearing a thin white coat and standing in the courtyard, not knowing what he was thinking.

Song Yiyao tightened the cloak on his body and asked:

"The little marquis came to visit late at night, what's the matter?"

Wearing such thick clothes, and his hair was not dripping, Tang Jingruo reluctantly looked away from his fair face:

"How did you do tonight?"

The cloud girl was clearly a dead person when she entered the hall. The face is pale and the body is stiff. I can't even shed tears when I cry. And after someone was stabbed, he died in just two breaths.

Song Yiyao chuckled, anyway, if Tang Jingruo knew what she should know, she already knew what she shouldn't know, so she didn't think about hiding it.

"Doesn't the little marquis know what I can see? I just went out and met her spirit, so I helped her. It's a trick. Let her be able to say what she wants to say. ”

"If you can see ghosts, can you have reincarnation?"

Under the moonlight, Tang Jingruo asked what he had thought about for a long time.

This question surprised her, but Song Yiyao still replied with a slight bow:

"But if you go over, you will have reincarnation."

Tang Jingruo asked again:

"Do you know how to tell fortunes?"

Song Yiyao blinked and yawned, and asked, "What's it?" ”

"Life and death."

What kind of people does the little marquis have in his heart? Song Yiyao's gossip heart was blazing, but he still had that indifferent look on his face, imitating his master's usual deceptive appearance.

"Yes. However, there is a price to be paid for such things as life and death. ”

Li Xiang's matter, except for the two of you, I can't think of anyone who can find out the truth. Tang Jingruo remembered Tang Shao's words. The person in front of him inexplicably became pleasing to the eye.

"Then I'll follow you from now on."

Wait, what? Is this the price? When Song Yiyao reacted, he had already fallen back on the bed, unable to sleep all night.

It wasn't until the next day that she understood what the casual Marquis of Mingyuan meant.

"Song Aiqing has made a great contribution to solving the case this time. Reward 100 taels of gold, give a house, and fill the vacancy of the left waiter in the criminal department, which will be filled by Song Aiqing.

Jing Ruo has lost a lot of old injuries over the years, and it is time to cultivate well. The post of general was temporarily handed over to Wang Wenwang's deputy general. As for the punishment of injuring Li Xiang, Feng Yipin guards, in the imperial city, followed Song Aiqing and learned etiquette and law.

Wen Aiqing is old, and it's time to rest. The position of Shangshu is on top of the left waiter, and as for the remaining vacancy. Rise to the top of the list. ”

Above the court, as soon as Tang Shao's words came out, some people were happy and some were worried, and everyone was in an uproar but did not dare to have the slightest objection. Li Xiang, the only one who can speak on weekdays, is lying in the house.

This punishment is small, not small, and the positions of the generals have been removed. But what does it mean to be a first-class guard, followed by a second-grade criminal department attendant?

And Song Yiyao wasn't valued before, why was he suddenly promoted to three levels.

What does the emperor mean to Marquis Mingyuan?

Lord Wen deserved to touch the mold, but Li Bangyan, Li Jin, who was far away, picked up a good errand for no reason.

The civil and military ministers whispered to each other, and each had their own thoughts in their hearts.

They have long since become accustomed to complicating simple things. Even if Tang Shao yawned or sneezed, they could make up tens of thousands of words in their brains.

How could Tang Shao not know that his words had become a typical representative of playing with the emperor's art and the unpredictable heart of the monarch in the speculation of the ministers over and over again. But as long as Tang Jingruo can be protected, what is it.

"Weichen Command!" Song Yiyao saluted solemnly. There was three points of helplessness in her tone, knowing that she was about to make an enemy of the ledger again. But why do you want to put the little marquis here?

Looking at Song Yiyao, who was suddenly taken out, the three princes felt angry and funny in their hearts, the emperor's meaning was obvious, in order not to let any party in the court be involved in it to protect or frame him.

So I simply chose a champion who looked helpless and really capable. However, isn't the emperor afraid that he will be bribed?

There is also that Li Jin, whose style of action is the same as Song Yiyao, and he is also very close on weekdays, if he can take it for his own use, it will definitely be a big help.

Wen Futang's etiquette book is considered to be a waste, and it turns out that people with brains and no stains are more important than anything else, and he has to choose well this time.

After the ministers retreated, Tang Shao left Song Yiyao alone. After letting him dry for a while, he slowly put down the cup of tea that had been cold in his hand.

"Song Aiqing, I know that you have a lot of confusion in your heart. If there's anything you want to ask, just ask. ”

"Weichen's etiquette is not very good, why do you want Mingyuan Marquis to follow me?"

"Because you're smart enough, capable enough, bold enough. Because you won't take sides, just to assist the emperor star and come for the world. ”

"But what does this have to do with Marquis Mingyuan?"

"Jing Ruo has never been false with others, in the past six years, although he is far away at the border, he is still offended by those who should be offended, and he dared to pinch Li Xiang's neck in front of hundreds of officials yesterday. Do you think he will be able to live in peace after he returns to the Imperial City? ”

Song Yiyao raised his eyebrows, remembering Tang Jingruo's fierce appearance of pinching Li Xiang's neck, and smiled: "The little marquis is as jealous as hatred." ”

dared to scold, in front of him to say that the prime minister he mentioned was really not a loss of courage. Tang Shao was not angry, and asked again:

"Zuo Shilang of the Second Rank Criminal Department, do you think it's a good errand?"

Song Yiyao shook his head, but there was a hint of lightness in his voice: "It must be not easy." ”

"How many people used to stare at you, how many people assassinated you."

"Five or six eyeliner? I can't remember. ”

"If you sit in this position and don't take sides, there will be several times or even dozens of times more people who want you to die. So let Jing Ruo follow you. You teach others to be sophisticated. He keeps you safe. I think it's okay. ”

Would the emperor be so kind? Song Yiyao really didn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, you should have other considerations."

"Of course I have my considerations. But I don't want to tell you right now. Anyway, this matter is not good for you. What do you have to tangle with. ”

Song Yiyao thought about it, too, follow it, she earned it by having such a good guard in martial arts.

"I asked you to be this left waiter, hoping to use your unique skills to rectify and rectify well. Do you have that confidence? ”

"Even if you don't say it, Your Majesty, Weichen also wants to do his part!"

Tang Shao looked at Song Yiyao with relief, and said in his heart that he really didn't see the wrong person. He remembered one more thing and asked in a low voice:

"You don't have anything to say about yesterday?"

"Of course there is, where was the body of Miss Yun yesterday, Weichen has to go and see it again."

"Go and ask Commander Song."

Tang Shao rolled his eyes at him, and waved his hand impatiently to let him go, knowing that he couldn't wait for an explanation.

"Whoa!"

Song Yi bowed and retired, and went to the palace gate to find Song Yi along the blue brick avenue.

"Lord Song! Congratulations to Lord Song on his promotion. ”

Shen Yuecheng, who was deliberately waiting on the road, stopped someone who was in a very good mood. Dressed in a light blue and dark bamboo brocade robe, his temperament is more and more elegant. It's just that the current situation is bruised, and the past two days have not been very good.

"Thank you."

Shen Yuecheng looked at Song Yiyao and put away his smile, and the defensive look in his eyes was like a knife piercing straight into his heart.

"Am I that terrible? You're afraid of me. ”

He pulled Song Yiyao and hid at the corner of a small road. The shade of the trees above the high walls almost obscures the sky.

Song Yiyao broke free of his hand, his face calm:

"Lord Shen, I'm not afraid of you. I've said it to you many times before. I don't"

Shen Yuecheng interrupted him, and his hoarse voice was full of obscure bitterness:

"Yi Yao, I don't believe it, if you don't like me, why do you want to provoke me? If you don't like men, why don't you want to get married, tell me! ”

The shadow of the tree moved, then returned to its stillness, as if waiting for her answer.
