I was not surprised by this incident that shook the country, because I had known the outcome of this matter for a long time. On the contrary, I was secretly happy in my heart - compared to the prince who had never met, my impression of King Jin was too good. I'm such a person, I like to be friends with simple people, I appreciate people who have a city government, I think they are powerful, besides, to be an emperor, how can I do it without a dim sum machine?

Daddy was neither particularly happy nor pityful, as if this matter had nothing to do with his half a dime. But in fact, in the end, what made the emperor decide to abolish the prince was precisely a secret piece sent by the father to Daxing City not long ago, which said that the prince secretly befriended the foreign ministers and had the intention of rebellion, and the father himself was one of the foreign ministers that the prince wanted to woo, because the assassin Shi was the governor of a state, and he had some military power. As for how Daddy convinced the Emperor that what he said was true, I don't know. Anyway, the result was that only half a month after Daddy's recital was sent to the province, and the prince was abolished.

At this time, the king of Jin was returning to Daxing City with the victorious results of repelling the Turks.

In fact, the king of Jin himself, except for me, a latecomer, who knows that people have a very bad evaluation of him, his reputation among the ministers is very good, and even my father can't help but praise him for his outstanding intelligence, because his governance in Jiangdong has been very effective - after the destruction of the Chen Dynasty, there have always been anti-Sui forces in the south, except for a few too strong forces to suppress with troops, other opposition forces that are ready to move have been divided by the Jin king with very powerful means to the point that he can't even find a shadow, and he established the prestige of the Sui Empire's rule in Jiangdong during his tenure as governor of Yangzhou, while he himself established a small ruling center in the south, Jiangdu. The southern scholars generally felt indifferent to the deposed crown prince, except for Mr. Fang, whom I knew, and his personal opposition was simply a drop in the ocean, and did not play a role in the slightest, and the great wheel of history would not change direction because of personal will, unless you were the emperor - until later I learned that even the emperor was useless.

Winter had arrived, and the cold wind was ripping the last trace of temperature in the air, and I could clearly feel that the wind blowing into my neck was very sharp and uncomfortable. I don't know why, in winter, I always feel that the whole world is much quieter, the time in the study seems to stand still, the candle burns from dawn to dark, occasionally reflecting a familiar face, leaving a dark red tear stain on the candlestick, while I hold the book, and look out the window from time to time, the bare branches are trembling. I don't know why I'm starting to pay attention to these trivial details now.

I guess it's because I met Xu Ruoxiu, this is the first non-sister of the same age and the opposite sex I've met since I came here, her appearance has sharpened my feelings, maybe because I'm afraid of missing something, I care about everything related to her, and the most concerned is of course her departure. I subconsciously felt that the encounter with her at Shiye Temple that day was not accidental, or even if it was accidental, it was very unusual.

I remember the look on her face when she walked out of the Guanyin Hall, with a little bit of determination, I thought at the time that she was satisfied because she had made a wish, but now that I think about it, it is more like saying goodbye to something. Thinking of what the monk Huitong in the temple gave me and his inexplicable death at the end, I felt that there was a huge conspiracy...... Maybe not a conspiracy, but definitely something, happening, and related to me.

My suspicion was immediately confirmed, for shortly after the deposition of the crown prince, a letter was received from the court, addressed to me, without signature. This is very strange, because it is rare for people to write to children, and even if there are, there are not many people I know here, and who would write to me?

The content of the letter shocked me, to the effect that there was a secret organization called what Qingyu Pavilion used to be a secret force under the King of Qin, and now that the King of Qin has passed away, the pavilion owner Huitong Zen Master was killed, and Qingyu Pavilion now has no owner, and I am holding the Qingyu Pavilion Order, and I am the heir chosen by Huitong Zen Master, so the person who wrote this letter expressed his greetings to me on behalf of all the people of Qingyu Pavilion, and welcomed me to inherit the position of the master of Qingyu Pavilion. At the bottom of the letter is the word "Qi".

I took out the small shield that Huitong gave me and looked at it for a long time, could this be the Qingyu Pavilion Order? I thought about it for a long time, I didn't think of anything, I just wanted to curse people, what kind of people are this mess...... Deciding other people's lives without their permission, I feel like I'm back in the past, when I was a little brother and I couldn't say anything, but now...... I am the eldest son of the Tang State Mansion, how can you do whatever I want? I threw the small shield in my hand against the table, and I heard a "click" and the small shield actually stood upright on the table.

I was startled, and walked over to take a look, and it turned out that there was a slender metal strip sticking out from under the shield, and it was this metal strip that was inserted into the table that made the small shield stand up. It took me some effort to pull it out, and the metal strip underneath was a bit long, about twenty centimeters out from the ground, like the blade of a narrow-edged sword, but thinner and thinner, this ...... How do you put it back in? I studied it carefully, and found that the word "Qi" on the shield was originally parallel to the shield, but now it has become oblique, and I was witty and clever to break this word, and the blade that stretched out "swished" and retracted, a bit like a tape measure in modern society, but it is much more handsome than a tape measure.

I played with this little gadget for a long time, until Rong'er came in and said it was dinner time, and I was still wondering what Qingyu Pavilion was...... Or what kind of place. I just became the pavilion master of the Qingyu Pavilion for some reason, which is of course very unreal in my feelings.

I don't know what it means to be a pavilion master who has done this mess, I'm just curious, but I don't know who wrote this letter to me, so I can only be curious, and this curiosity may not be satisfied for a while. But I was wrong, and a few days later, something happened to me that I had thought was the most incredible thing I've ever been here.

That night I went back to my room after dinner as usual, flipped through a few pages of the book, and went to sleep when I felt a little sleepy, all this was normal, but I felt cold in my neck in my sleep, very uncomfortable, at first I thought I was dreaming, but the feeling in the dream could not be so real.

I finally woke up from a very uncomfortable feeling, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a pair of ghostly eyes staring at me, and I almost jumped out of bed in shock—only to find that I couldn't jump at all, because I caught a glimpse of a knife pressed against my neck, and the back of the knife against my neck, which woke me up.

I opened my mouth to scream, but I saw the ghost-like man make a "silence" gesture, he covered his face, and I couldn't see what he looked like when he screamed, what if I screamed and he killed me with a knife? I had to close the open boss's mouth.

He suppressed his voice and said, "Pavilion Master, don't be surprised. The subordinate is Xun Yi, the sword protector, who is here for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today. ”

I blinked, nodded again, and I understood. I wonder how this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so capable, because in my imagination, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a pustule with no ability at all.

The man in black continued, "The Pavilion Master doesn't know anything. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was deposed, but someone actually framed him, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to ask the Qingyu Pavilion to come forward to find out who framed His Royal Highness the Prince, so he came to ask the Pavilion Master. ”

I only learned the general purpose of his coming here after he had finished speaking, and they wanted to find out who had framed the prince...... Wait, isn't it my father who framed the prince?

I shook my head almost subconsciously, and the man in black said when he saw this: "The pavilion master may not know that the Qingyu Pavilion is now loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in prison, please ask the Pavilion Master to order a thorough investigation of this matter, and we must find out who is behind the scenes." His voice was low, slow but very firm, and he felt like he was not giving up until he had achieved his goal.

"What happens after you find out?" I asked.

"There is no mercy for killing." His words were so cold that I couldn't help but shiver.

I guess this isn't what I'm doing against my father? How does this work? Besides, in history, it was originally the King of Jin who later became the emperor, what are you still struggling with? But I can't tell him that.

I don't know how powerful this Qingyu Pavilion is, so I don't know if they can find out if it's Daddy's ghost, but if they find out, then what should I do? Looking at the knife in this Xun hand, I was a little panicked, this must be similar to the "Seven Don't Kill" Villa, can they let go of Dad? Impossible, the three words "no forgiveness" are definitely not just casual words.

I don't think I went to Shiye Temple a few times before I encountered such a big trouble, how can I believe in Buddhism? If the Buddha really has a spirit, why didn't I get what I wanted, but instead encountered this kind of?

I hesitated to refuse him but didn't dare to refuse, so I had to say tentatively: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone, why are you still loyal to him?" ”

Xun Yiyi: "The order of the pavilion master, don't dare to disobey." "The order of the Pavilion Master? Now that I'm the Cabinet Master, I don't want to be loyal to that hopeless prince.

I motioned for him to put the knife away, and said, "I'm the current pavilion master?" ”

"Yes." Xun Yi's answer was brief.

I took out the Qingyu Pavilion order from under my pillow and said, "Okay, I want you to stop investigating these things, can you listen?" ”

He was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why?" ”

I shrugged and said, "I don't know either." ”

Playing scoundrel was one of my great skills in the past, especially when the people around me were very unreasonable, and only more unreasonable than them could take the initiative. Now I see that the Qingyu Pavilion is also like this, the former pavilion master Huitong forced me to take the order of the Qingyu Pavilion by playing a scoundrel, the pavilion master is like this, how can the people under him be reasonable? Then I'll have to be a scoundrel more than them, and I can't be blamed for that.

Xun Yiyi: "The subordinates are puzzled, please make it clear to the pavilion master." ”

I rolled my eyes at him, "There's not a reason for everything in this world. If there is, you should explain to me first, why did you let me be a little child to be the pavilion master? ”
