Yue Qianqiu had never seen the so-called holy decree written by the Emperor of Beiyan himself, but after the guy who was extremely excited read it aloud, he naturally heard it clearly. The decree didn't have too much flowery rhetoric, it was all simple and easy to understand in the vernacular, but the first thing he noticed was a tiny detail that the guy shouted.

It's the regent, not the regent.

That's right, whether it was the regent of the Duke of Zhou in the Western Zhou Dynasty or the regent of Wang Mang in the late Han Dynasty, it was a regent, not a regent, which was completely different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had a regent discussion system. As for other dynasties, of course, there are also dramas such as when the little emperor was young, and the powerful ministers ruled the government arbitrarily, but most of the time, there was no such justifiable title as regent.

The regent is just that, once there is really a regent in any dynasty, the emperor will be a puppet and ornament, and the Qing Dynasty Shunzhi and Xuantong were originally like this. As far as he knows, Dawu Liguo has not had a regent so far, but Beiyan has had several terms, except for the royal family is a relative, from this point of view, it is very similar to the collection of the Han and Jin dynasties.

Although he was thinking about this insignificant detail, Yue Qianqiu's ears were not idle, and he continued to listen to the holy decree there, listening to the holy decree that Xiao Jingxian's previous declaration of breaking off his love with the Emperor of Northern Yan in Gu'an City was just an act of the Emperor of Northern Yan to paralyze the rebellious ministers, and he didn't believe that this holy decree was true, and he completely determined that this holy decree was absolutely forged.

With the character of Emperor Beiyan, he doesn't look like a person who can act in that kind of thing!

Sure enough, it wasn't just him who was so determined, but when he looked around, he saw that many gentlemen and merchants were listening respectfully to the holy decree on their faces, but their lowered eyes turned around, and there was obvious disapproval in their eyes, but they didn't dare to be angry or speak.

When a holy decree was read, the guy who read it held the holy decree in both hands, and was about to return it to Xiao Jingxian respectfully, but what he got was an impatient reprimand: "Didn't I say it, let you pass it on in turn, and have a good look at the imperial pen and seal!" ”

I didn't expect Xiao Jingxian to really make a full play, and he really wanted to pass on this volume of the holy decree to a circle, even if he just read it aloud and sneered at the authenticity, just with the intention of stammering Xiao Jingxian, that person still had to bite the bullet and pass the holy decree to a gentleman who had several officials in Yongqing City.

It is conceivable that the gentry has never seen the imperial pen of the Northern Yan Emperor, but he glanced at the contents, stared at the bright red seal for a while, and passed it on to the next one. After a lot of back-and-forth, when they finally arrived at the hands of the pair of merchants who had been debunked by the diorama of their mortal enemies, the two of them did not look at the counts like the others, but carefully looked at the so-called imperial pen.

The trick that the two of them relied on to survive was exposed, and as long as it was spread that they were pretending to hate each other, and thus doing a prosperous business, the peers who had been fooled in the past would surely hate them to the core. If they can't make some merit from Xiao Jingxian, whether it is to take refuge or sell people backhandedly, they won't want to continue to mix in Beiyan Shopping Mall in the future!

Under the pressure of a serious existential crisis, there have been only a few secret contacts for many years, and other times the two brothers have relied on tacit understanding to look at each other, and at the same time concentrate on finding the flaws in this holy decree. Of course, they didn't know the royal pen, but they looked at it carefully for a while, and finally one of them found a clerical error with difficulty, and the other found a few words that were suspected to be copied.

However, neither of them said anything, but respectfully returned the holy decree to Xiao Jingxian.

And as if generously showing everyone the holy decree in his hand, Xiao Jingxian said in an understatement tone: "The emperor saw that there were rebel ministers and wolf ambitions in the court, so he acted in a play with me, and I sent an envoy to Nanwu in the form of defection, wanting to fish out those who committed rebellion in the court. ”

Edit, you continue to make up!

Yue Qianqiu clasped his hands around and looked at Xiao Jingxian with a smile and said nonsense without blinking his eyes, looking at the people below who were either submissive, or flattering, or afraid to be angry and even more afraid to speak, in short, no one dared to debunk this lie. And next, the reason why Xiao Jing chose such a place to hold this Hongmen banquet was also revealed by himself.

"There were rumors outside before that Xiao Jin killed the puppet emperor's brother-in-law, hehe, he still does things in a measured manner, and it is impossible to kill people casually. He was dug and cultivated by me, and after he went into battle, he was not afraid of death, and he was absolutely not afraid of the powerful in his daily affairs, but he still obeyed the law in everything. Well, I used to carry this kind of indiscriminate murder notoriety, so I don't want him to carry it again. ”

Admitting in disguise that he was a murderer, Xiao Jingxian said with a smile: "Come on, give me all the guys who plan to sell Yongqing City to the puppet emperor." Oh, remember to be polite to the uncle who wants to be a country, hasn't he been shouting that he is a big man in prison? As for the hard-boned county magistrate, there is no need to take him out, let him sit in prison well! ”

Seeing that a large group of people's faces changed miserably because of these words, Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jin who was standing beside Xiao Jingxian.

Yue Qianqiu really admired Xiao Jingxian's pervasive communication channels, you must know that a few days ago, he was still in Bazhou City, and he has been with him since then, and under his dead gaze, he can still keep in touch with the outside.

If he hadn't known that Xiao Jing had come first, and even received a clear order, the young General Xiao Jin would have released the news that he had killed the brother-in-law of the Six Princes, as well as the county commander and others, and then quietly welcomed Xiao Jingxian and him here?

Speaking of which, this one has been silent since he appeared on the stage, as if he was not a young general with a thousand troops in hand, but Xiao Jingxian's guard. Just with Xiao Jingxian's style of casually abandoning the guards or subordinates, it is simply unrealistic to have such loyal subordinates!

Whatever the reason for the silence of the people, the feast was temporarily a dead silence, and the silence was suddenly broken when dozens of soldiers drove out seven or eight unkempt people as if they were driving livestock. A young man who was being pushed and shoved suddenly fell heavily under his feet, but suddenly struggled to raise his head and roared.

"The current emperor is my brother-in-law, Xiao Jin, if you dare to treat me like this, aren't you afraid of being punished by the Nine Clans?"

His roar was hoarse, but it was still enough for everyone present to hear. However, this son-in-law, who thought he was the uncle of the country, did not wait for the soldiers who escorted him to make a commotion as he wished, but waited for a sneer.

"The current emperor? That kid who killed his father hasn't succeeded yet, so he can't wait for that throne? If you want to be an uncle of the country, it's eight lives early. ”

The "Uncle Guo" lying on the ground tried his best to turn his head to look at the place where the voice came from, and when he saw the face clearly, he was so frightened that he convulsed, and then he even rubbed his eyes, and finally groaned in pain, and cried out in a voice like a dream: "Impossible, impossible! Xiao Jingxian, why are you here, didn't you defect to Nanwu a long time ago......"

"It's a pity that I'm right here." Xiao Jingxian smiled slightly, but that smile was really eerie in the eyes of many people, "My uncle of the real country is back, and you should be unlucky for your swaggering and deceitful uncle of the puppet country." If you stay in Nanjing honestly, waiting for your brother-in-law to come and join you, then naturally it will not come to this point, but who asked you to come to Yongqing? ”

Hearing this, even the gentry and merchants around who were planning to watch a killing of chickens and monkeys couldn't help but gasp. Just from Xiao Jingxian's tone, they already understood what people wanted to do - as long as the head of the other "Uncle Guo" fell to the ground at this moment, then those of them present could really only follow Xiao Jingxian one way!

Seeing that Xiao Jing first pulled out Xiao Jin's saber on the side, and drew a bright knife light with his hand, straight to the neck of the unlucky ghost on the ground, and in an instant, blood splattered five steps, and the head fell to the ground, Yue Qianqiu took another look at the silent guys around him, especially the pair of brothers who had carefully studied the holy decree after being unraveled, and he was too lazy to stay when he saw that they were mourning.

This is just the beginning, and the next step is to kill a human head and completely scare the people present, he is not interested in eating this feast in a bloody slaughterhouse. Therefore, he turned away without even thinking about it. Sure enough, he didn't go far before he heard the screams, curses, and begs for mercy behind him like a tidal wave, but the noise disappeared in a few moments.

Xiao Jingxian didn't stop him, he was happy to slip away, and he didn't stop returning to his temporary residence.

Closing the door and sitting down at the desk, he groaned slightly for a moment, and then began to grind ink and lay paper to write. However, what he wrote was not a recital for anyone to read, but a ...... Diary. Unlike the freshness he had when he entered Beiyan last time, he didn't have any expectations for Beiyan now, just for the task, and in this case, he naturally needed to record what he thought was important.

Even if he couldn't send these records, but after writing them down and then keeping the content firmly in his mind, it was much more impressive than just seeing and hearing it, and he had done so all the way after entering Beiyan before.

His room was far away from the area of the cell, but even so, with his too-keen ears, he could still hear all kinds of strange movements coming from the other side from time to time. However, Yue Qianqiu was not curious or concerned about the methods Xiao Jingxian used over there, and just concentrated on recording what he saw and heard after entering Yongqing City.

But as he wrote, he suddenly noticed the sound of rare footsteps coming this way, and stopped listening to it.

He didn't believe in Xiao Jin, nor did he believe that Xiao Jingxian still had so much influence unconditionally after leaving Beiyan for more than half a year, and he didn't believe that a person like himself, who already had a great "reputation" in Beiyan, would not be monitored. So, he glanced at the paper quickly, and when he was sure that he had memorized it, he immediately leaned over the candle and burned it.

Just as Yue Qianqiu was waiting for the paper to turn to ashes as always, he heard footsteps get closer, and there were three unhurried light knocks outside the door. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing in the two days he had been here, and he couldn't help frowning for a while, and then while waiting for the paper to burn, he raised his voice and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin instructed, send a food box to the ninth prince who didn't have lunch."

This is a very reasonable reason, but Yue Qianqiu feels that the voice is familiar, and it is a little unreasonable. He hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that there was only a corner of the burned paper left, he stood up and strode to the door, and when he opened the door, he raised his vigilance and slowly opened the latch, but the next moment, a strong thrust suddenly came from the door.

Rao thought he had been prepared in advance, but he was still taken a few steps back by this huge force. Before he could stand firmly, he saw a figure rushing in, and he turned around and closed the latch of the door as if flying, and the action was simply swift. He was about to open his mouth to call someone, but when he saw the familiar posture and unfamiliar face of the comer, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and he forgot to speak.

When the visitor put down the food box after closing the door and rushed to him violently, Yue Qianqiu screamed in a daze.

"Master......"

"Do you still know that I am your master? Do you know how chaotic Beiyan is now? What are you here for? Looking for death? ”

Yan Xu couldn't help but want to learn from the old lady, and reached out to pull Yue Qianqiu's ears, but when he saw that people were surprised and happy when they saw him, as if the whole person was shining on his face, he couldn't help but soften, but his tone was still very harsh. But the next moment, Yue Qianqiu's words that he said confidently choked him completely.

"But Master, aren't you also a Ming Xiu plank road, secretly crossed Chen Cang, and quietly ran to Beiyan? I'm just learning from you! ”

Learn from me...... Yan Xu didn't know whether to scold Yue Qianqiu for not learning well, or complained that he had taught an apprentice who was too much like himself. He smiled bitterly and rubbed his eyebrows, then slowed down and said in a calm tone: "Xiao Jingxian's personality is changeable, you can't be trusted, although you are smart, but if you follow him, it is easy to suffer if you are not good." I've got my own way of keeping an eye on him, so go back. ”

Yue Qianqiu suddenly stopped: "Master, Xiao Jingxian is a bold person, he will not stay in Yongqing all the time, and he is likely to sneak into Nanjing." He can't bring a guard, how can you follow? It's like you're here now, and you're following him in disguise? Although Master, you are better than Ji Yue, but it is not as easy as blatantly following him in this kind of thing, right? I know him, but I don't know what he's going to do, let alone you! ”

Yan Xu frowned at Yue Qianqiu's words, although he admitted in his heart that the little apprentice was right, but he was not willing to let Yue Qianqiu continue to follow Xiao Jingxian's madman at all. Besides, he already has three sons, but Yue Qianqiu hasn't started a family yet! In case of a mistake, how can he be worthy of Old Lady Yue?

But what he didn't expect at all was that speaking of this, Yue Qianqiu actually began to push him out of the door.

"No matter how you got here, Master, let's go! Xiao Jingxian, that guy can't be trusted by anyone, and he definitely can't trust me, he may come back at any time, if he finds out that you have been here, it will be troublesome! If you want, just tell me the password contact or something, and if you don't, forget it. Anyway, hurry up! ”
