The Qi Wang Party has been very active recently, and it has the potential to win back a city.

After the princelings kept a low profile after Xie Shence - in fact, at the beginning of the Jin Emperor's preparations to cut the Northwest Army, there was already a great tendency to "die down", which made some people who had a wait-and-see attitude since Sima Bi broke with the King of Qi rejoin the King of Qi.

Under the impetus of Wen Chong, the first staff member of the Qi Palace, the power of the King of Qi expanded rapidly, and it recovered by six or seven percent in almost half a year.

This is a miracle for the Qi Wang Party without Zheng Keming, the secretary of the ministry, and Sima Bi, the general.

Xie Shence looked at the secret report sent by the Ti Qi Division in front of him, and sneered.

It is said that the king of Qi has a virtuous name, but from this point of view, where is the virtuous? Salty salty? Or is it idle that the egg hurts?

It's really daring to do it in the martial arts hall.

In contrast, the prince, who is much inferior in appearance, is much smarter.

The calmness in the Zheng Keming incident at the beginning, and now the forbearance in the martial arts hall are all good opportunities to lie dormant and wait for starts. From this point of view, the prince is very much like the Jin Emperor back then.

It's not that I'm not angry, it's not that I'm not excited, it's just that I won't act rashly before the time comes when a knife can kill you.

"What a calm person, quite like the style of my yin back then!"

Xie Shence admired, got up and walked to the railing, and looked against the railing.

In the huge building complex at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, there was a faint sound coming out, which was the students of the Lecture Hall practicing.

From above, there are dozens of black dots on the white school field, galloping back and forth, which is the cadets practicing horse warfare.

There are perverted instructors, in order to exercise the physical fitness of the students, they even ask the students to carry weights to climb the mountain, and they also set a time to not give them food if they can't finish it. And the heavy object that carries the weight is the instructor himself.

"These bastards, I only said that they were burdened, but I didn't say that they should take rickshaws up and down the mountain every day for sightseeing"

Xie Shence scolded.

Few of the students knew that the person who came up with this kind of exercise was not the instructor they carried on their daily backs, but the head of the Discipline Academy, who was standing in the royal palace at this time to watch their sin.

Xie Shence, who clarified his position, became very low-key, which made many people in Jindu unable to adapt for a while. After all, I'm used to the title of Lord Admiral, Lord Admiral.

At the end of the ninth year of Zhenglong, Xie Shence submitted a letter of resignation to Emperor Jin in the royal palace, which alarmed the entire court.

He was to resign from his position as Admiral of the Knights.

The letter of resignation had not been noticed at the time of its submission - and it had not been noticed that the way of the Knights had been discovered by ordinary people. It's just that after Emperor Jin smashed a few vases in the imperial study and tore up a "Three Thousand Miles of Jiangling" by the former dynasty painting Saint Wu Daozi, some gossip came out.

The Admiral wants to resign

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The officials of the Xie family were extremely indignant and denounced Xie Shence's misdeeds, and in the court, they fiercely stated Xie Shence's "great achievements" since he was appointed as the commander of the Tiqi Division, and asked the Jin Emperor to reject it.

Some people, led by the Criminal Department of the Ministry of Industry, tried their best to exaggerate Xie Shence's brutality and bloodthirstiness, bitterly expressed Xie Shence's heinous murder since he took office, and resolutely asked Emperor Jin to fulfill it.

Emperor Jin did not respond, but was absent from the last court meeting in the ninth year of Zhenglong.

Then there was a heavy snowfall, and it was the New Year.

Xie Shence took sick leave, Emperor Jin allowed him to recuperate in the Royal Annex, Princess Jinyang stayed in the palace for a day, and then took Xie Rafter and the whole family of Weihou Mansion on the first day of the first month to the Royal Annex.

Xie Shence and Princess Jinyang watched the snow on the railing, and Xie Rafter was taken by Wang Jiehua to build a snowman, and there were only two of them here.

"I still remember the story that my uncle told me back then."

"Hehe, I was young and ignorant at that time, so don't be surprised by my sister-in-law."

Princess Jinyang smiled. After getting married, Princess Wanting became Princess Jinyang, and her personality changed greatly, as if she was a different person. Gentle and virtuous, more and more extravagant, the naughty and smart before marriage can not be seen at all.

Xie Shence can still think of the scene when the little princess pestered herself to tell a story.

It is true that Princess Jinyang at that time liked to listen to stories, but more importantly, Xie Shence estimated that she was still trying to get close to Xie Shenwei.

"At that time, I was still called sir"

Xie Shence didn't know what to say.

Mr. and student Xie Shence actually didn't teach Princess Jinyang much knowledge, but the story was told a lot. At this time, she was already her sister-in-law, but the eldest brother left their mother and son to find her old lover, so when she said this, Xie Shence was very ashamed and couldn't answer.

Princess Jinyang seemed to feel Xie Shence's embarrassment, so she smiled and said, "Can Uncle do this palace a favor?" ”

Xie Shence was startled and uneasy, but he still responded.

"Sister-in-law, please speak."

"Help me with a word." Princess Jinyang said: "It's okay if he wants to marry another woman, but he can't go home"

Xie Shence looked at Princess Jinyang's side face and was slightly stunned.

Then he realized that this was not good, so he coughed and said, "Sister-in-law's words, I will bring them." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Uncle."

Xie Shence was silent, the uncle is still the uncle, but after adding Mr., the taste has changed.

He naturally heard the indifference and alienation in Princess Jinyang's tone.

However, he couldn't justify anything, Xie Shenwei did really badly in this matter, if you want to describe it in one word, Xie Shence feels that the scum is very suitable for him.

His own eldest brother is also his idol, but in this matter, Xie Shence really can't excuse him.

Because one woman and her daughter have abandoned the other woman and her son. And this woman is still dead set on him, and has endured criticism from the royal family and the entire Great Jin.

A woman abandoned by her husband is alone in Kyoto with her children, while the man is outside the Saiwai, herding horses and sheep with a Xianbei woman

No wonder the queen was angry, and Emperor Jin always had to be angry when he said thank Shenwei.

He had already received the information, and Xie Shenwei finally returned to the Iron Gate Pass. However, he did not say anything about returning.

Princess Jinyang is strong, she endured Xie Shenwei's indifference, and finally dissolved Xie Shenwei's cold heart, thinking that happiness would come from now on, but even if she gave birth to a son, she still couldn't stop her husband from staying away.

It was the New Year, and the family was reunited, but she was the only one in the empty house.

Heh, you're just a joke Princess Jinyang thought so in her heart.

Princess Jinyang looked at the Wutang building hidden in white, smiling slightly, but there was indescribable sadness.

She is afraid that she also has emotions for the Xie family. Xie Shence thought so.

Xie Shenwei ran away, she was alone in Jindu, but the Xie family never said anything about letting Xie Shenwei come back, as a woman, shouldn't there be no emotions?

And so far, Princess Jinyang is still towards the Xie family in everything.

It's just that now, I'm afraid she doesn't have much strength to stay strong, so she said this sentence in front of herself.

That uncle showed the fact that she was the Xie family, and she had no intention of changing it. It's just that Mr. Sheng, but she has exhausted her fate with the Xie family.

I'm afraid after this

Xie Shence didn't dare to look at it, so he lowered his head and was silent.

After being silent for a long time, Xie Shence gradually felt the chill from outside, so he said, "It's windy outside, sister-in-law should go in." ”

Princess Jinyang nodded, then turned to leave.

Xie Shence rubbed his somewhat stiff face, sighed, and then left as well.

Royal is royal and has its own arrogance. As Princess Jinyang, she has done everything she has to do, and Xie Shenwei has not even said when she will come back, so she is naturally extremely disappointed.

This is the discouragement after the end of benevolence and righteousness, right?

Xie Yi moved to live in Zhongnan Mountain, so the Xie family was there, and during the banquet, the Xie family was still happy, but only a few people found some problems.

Xie Sheng pulled Xie Shence after the banquet and talked for a while.

"Your sister-in-law"

Xie Shence didn't speak.

Xie Sheng sighed and said, "After all, it's my Xie family who is sorry for her." ”

Xie Shence still didn't speak.

Xie Sheng looked at Xie Shence, who lowered his head and didn't speak, slowly changed his expression, opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything.

The father and son stood in the snow for a long time, and when the snowflakes gradually drifted in the sky, Xie Sheng turned around and said a word before leaving.

"I was wrong."

Xie Shence turned his head suddenly, looking at the back of Xie Sheng leaving in the wind and snow, he felt that this middle-aged man seemed to be much older.

Blinking vigorously, Xie Shence smiled: "Hehe, I think too much, the old man is still early."

Xie Sheng left, Xie Shence stood alone for a while, sniffed, and left.

During the first month, the news of Xie Shence's resignation as the commander of the Tiqi Division finally spread throughout the Jin capital, and with the people's visits to relatives and friends, this statement has evolved into countless versions.

Xie Shence has an incurable disease, Emperor Jin has re-attacked the Xie family, Xie Shence has saved his life, etc., and it is boiling. With the return of the officials who came to Beijing to congratulate him, the news was also spread to the north and south of the river. So everyone thought that the Xie family was already declining.

Emperor Jin undoubtedly rejected Xie Shence's request, but that didn't stop speculation.

Because in the eyes of some, it's just for face

In the temple on Langya Mountain in Huaiyang Road, there are big people who come to offer incense.

Wang Kui and a group of immediate family members of the Wang family were arranged to rest in the wing. Wang Zhen talks to the old Zen master in the meditation room.

"Master, to be honest, the old man didn't expect such a day."

The old Zen master closed his eyes, twisted the Buddha beads and said, "All cause and effect cycles have their own fixed numbers. ”

Wang Zhen smiled: "But no one thought of my father's death, right?" ”

The old Zen master did not speak.

"I wasn't involved, in fact I didn't know about it at all. Some people speculate about what I joined forces with outsiders to murder my biological father, oh, how vicious the words are but I deal with it indifferently and let people say it. The truth will not change because of whose voice is louder, and time will return my innocence. ”

The old Zen master said, "Are you explaining? ”

"No, no, no, the old man didn't explain, hehe, calling the old man in front of the master, I really don't know how to be inferior to the elders and the young, but I'm not explaining. It's just some people's vicious speculation about me that makes me very uncomfortable. ”

"You pretend to ignore it, but you actually still care."

"Who doesn't care? Just because I ignore them doesn't mean I really don't care. It's just that this is the most appropriate way to deal with it. ”

"But that doesn't excuse you from killing so many people. If you treat it indifferently, it's just a whitewash. ”

Wang Zhen smiled: "The master is really a master, this kind of thing is known"

"Dark Guard."

Wang Zhen's face changed, and then he suddenly smiled: "The master said that I am the secret guard of the Wang family, you can't install people, and it is impossible for them to rebel." ”

The old Zen master stopped talking again.

Wang Zhen shook his head, but he quickly reacted.

"You killed him! You did one of the secret guards who died years ago! ”

"No, I did it."

A middle-aged man's voice came, and Wang Zhen's body shook.

"It turned out that Mr. Big was me who was abrupt. In this way, everything makes sense. ”

Senior Brother looked at Wang Zhen calmly and said, "Yes, I killed that secret guard. However, it was not intentional, it just happened to run into it when it was down the mountain. Saved the person you wanted to kill, but you didn't want to find out more. ”

"So you told my third brother everything you know."

"yes, so they're not dead yet."

Wang Zhen smiled: "Actually, in my plan, Mr. Big was taken into account. You are Feng Zhi's senior brother, half of his kung fu was taught by you, I actually arranged a bureau for Mr. Big, only Mr. Big killed my secret guard, so I escaped. ”

With a little regret, Wang Zhen continued: "It's a pity that I didn't connect these two things at that time. ”

"You believe in the coincidence, that the woman got out of trouble on her own, and I was in the city because of the temple affairs. You didn't expect me to come back early because the Zen temple was overwhelmed by heavy rain. ”

"So it's just a coincidence, isn't it?"

Senior Brother nodded and said, "Yes, it's just a coincidence. ”

Wang Zhen laughed, and then suddenly laughed: "You really deserve to die." ”

The elder brother said, "But you can't kill me. ”

"No, you're wrong." Wang Zhen said: "I can use the people you care about to threaten you and force you to commit suicide." ”

Senior Brother shook his head and said, "Since you can't kill me, how dare you compare them to me?" ”

"Why don't you dare?"

"Because I'm going to kill you."

"But you don't dare to kill me right now."

"So none of us can kill anyone, not even the people we care about."

Wang Zhen smiled: "I'm afraid of death, so I'm afraid of your revenge, and I don't dare to touch the people you care about." ”

"And if I don't touch your people, you won't dare kill me. Because killing me is not what Feng Zhi wants to see. And it's really a paradox that you don't kill me, and it's based on the premise that I don't care about the people you care about. ”

Senior Brother nodded and said, "That's exactly what you said. ”

"So what to do?"

The senior brother said, "I will leave Huaiyang Dao." ”

Wang Zhen's face was solemn, and he said sincerely: "I personally still hope that Mr. Big will stay in Huaiyang Dao." ”

Wang Zhen is not a fool, of course he knows that the senior brother can best maintain balance in Huaiyang Dao. Once the senior brother leaves Langya Mountain, he will be able to do a lot of things. The balance of Langya Mountain will also be broken.

"It doesn't really matter where I am, what matters is to observe what you think."

In the conversation between the two, the elder brother used a formal title for the first time. He called Wang Zhen the observer, the observer of Huaiyangdao.

Wang Zhen was not satisfied with the formal title of senior brother, but he didn't care much about it. He quickly said, "If you insist on leaving, then go." They'll be fine. ”

"Yes, not only did you dare not touch them, but now you have to send someone to protect them."

Wang Zhen smiled: "Mr. Big has also learned to do business now. I know what you mean, but if they get the slightest bit of damage, whoever did it, it's all my fault. So in order to prevent you from killing me, I have to act as a bodyguard for these people, what is really wrong with this world? Monks can do business, it's terrible. ”

The elder brother said, "My lord forgot, I am not actually a monk in the true sense of the word. ”

Wang Zhen shook his head and stopped talking.

After sitting for a while, Wang Zhen got up, bowed to the old Zen master, and said: "Master cultivates Buddha with peace of mind, Langya Mountain used to be the holy place of my Huaiyang Dao, and it is still now, and it will still be after I leave." ”

The old Zen master didn't speak, but still chanted the scriptures and twisted the Buddhist beads in his hands.

The senior brother returned the salute and sent Wang Zhen to the door.

The old Zen master said, "A monk is a monk, and since he is a monk, he is born, and he should not pay attention to mundane things." Your dust is not broken, if you want to go, you can go. ”

The senior brother bowed for a while, and then said, "The disciple decided to devote himself to cultivating Buddhism twenty years ago, but when I met the junior brother, I realized that the dust was not clean. I was ashamed to teach the teacher. ”

"Your little brother is not a mortal, but a degraded star. It's natural for you to be unsettled. ”

The senior brother asked reverently, "Teacher, where is the star of the little junior brother?" ”

"Seven kills."

The senior brother looked shocked and did not speak.

"However, it is not necessarily, it can turn evil into good fortune, and there seems to be a number of crape myrtles"

"However, Ziwei Emperor Star, isn't it Tian Qi? How is it possible for a little junior brother? ”

"It's impossible because it's hard to make a conclusion. But from the current point of view, Tian Qi is really his lucky star. Although the two are already in conflict. ”

The two of them were quiet in the meditation room, but if outsiders heard what they said, I am afraid that they would definitely not be quiet.

In this world, who dares to call Emperor Jin's name as easily as saying passer-by?

The elder brother stopped talking, sat quietly for a while, and then left.

The old Zen master continued to chant and meditate.

Wang Zhen left Langya Mountain shortly after

Half a month after the second and second months of the first lunar month, the team that sent Xianbei to welcome relatives had already set off, and Xie Shence received a secret letter from Huaiyang Dao.

The elder brother is gone, and no one knows where he has gone.

Wang Jiehua looked at Xie Shence holding the letter for a long time and did not move, and said, "Senior Brother is gone, it is not a good thing for him. ”

Xie Shence nodded and said, "Actually, I have long known that Senior Brother is not an ordinary person - how can such a high martial arts be ordinary?" He should be a northerner, but he didn't know what happened at home, so he came to Huaiyang Road and finally followed the teacher to practice Buddhism. ”

"You secretly investigated Senior Brother?"

"Hmm." Xie Shence didn't hide it.

"But I can only go to Langya Mountain, and there is no clue at all about what happened before. It is possible to know if he is a northerner, or if it is inferred from his biased tastes. ”

"Then it can't be Chuanshu?"

"How is it possible in Sichuan and Shu, the senior brother doesn't like peppercorns very much."
