Duanmu Heng has a steady and dignified temperament since he was a child, but after all, he is a young man, and he has his youthful spirit, and occasionally he wants to act recklessly.

It's a pity that he is a member of the Duanmu family, and he has too much to take into account, so he can't!

Duanmu Heng looked at the backs of those who were hurrying away and pursed his lips.

Ji Lanzhou also stopped beside him, standing side by side with him, she looked at his side face again, and vaguely saw it.

"Duanmu Gongzi, some things don't have to be done openly," Ji Lanzhou's soft voice revealed a meaningful taste, "You can do it secretly." ”

Duanmu Heng moved his eyebrows, looked towards Ji Lanzhou, and met her clear eyes, which seemed to be glowing with a faint light.

Quiet as water, cunning as a fox.

Bang bang! Duanmu Heng's heartbeat missed two beats, and he looked at her in a daze.

After three breaths, he said, "I would like to hear about it." ”

The corners of Ji Lanzhou's lips curled slightly, and he made a curved arc, "Let's talk as we walk." ”

The two of them continued to walk forward, speaking in low voices.

The trees on both sides of the street were like large umbrellas that were stretched out to block the scorching sun, and the sunlight sprinkled a brilliant piece of gold on the two of them through the leafy branches.

The maid who walked behind looked at their backs and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The future uncle looks good-looking, and he can talk to the girl, so he is not afraid that he will not be able to live in the future. Moreover, the fourth girl of Duanmu is friendly with her own girl, and the girl will not be isolated in Duanmu's house in the future......

The maid was happy for her own girl, and sighed secretly: Is the girl finally here!

The hustle and bustle on Mingxian Street spread at an incredible speed, and a group of students ran to the palace to sit in protest, which inevitably attracted more people's attention, and soon even some unknown people gradually learned about the collusion between the emperor and the Beiyan people in order to eradicate the Zhenbei Wangfu ten years ago.

Thinking of the death of the Empress Dowager He and the rumors in Beijing that the Empress Dowager He was killed by the emperor, all kinds of discussions and speculations in the capital came and went, and the atmosphere became more tense, and many people suspected that the emperor couldn't wait to kill those old ministers and the queen mother, which was to kill people and kill them!

In just three days, these rumors spread throughout the capital.

On August 7, the Shilin ministers headed by Xuanguo Gong asked the emperor to issue an edict to rehabilitate the Zhenbei Palace.

On August 8, students from the Guozijian to the major academies in the capital went on strike one after another, demanding that the emperor take a sin.

On August 9, the Shenshu camp mutinied, and the soldiers threw away their armor one by one in protest, forcing the emperor to give an explanation for their collusion with the Northern Yan.

At the beginning, everyone was somewhat afraid that the East Factory would be dispatched, but after a day, two days, and three days, they found that there was no movement in the East Factory, and these people became more and more bold.

The emperor simply called the dynasty sick, and he was no longer able to clean up the situation.

The emperor never imagined that the two secret decrees he gave to Geng Hai ten years ago would actually leak out, and he never thought that Geng Hai would still receive these two secret decrees!

Geng family.

The truth is obvious, behind this whole thing must be the Geng family!

It must have been the Geng family who harmed him.

Geng Hai has been receiving the secret decree for so many years and left it to his son Geng Anhao, who was dissatisfied that he had taken the position of the governor of the five armies, so as to take revenge on himself!

Just thinking about it, the emperor's face turned faintly blue, and a breath of blood struck his chest.

"The emperor is angry!" The waiter who served by the dragon couch hurriedly stroked the emperor's chest and calmed his breath, "Come on, hurry up and prepare soothing tea!" Imperial Physician Li, come and show the emperor! ”

The chamberlain hurriedly went down to prepare soothing tea, and Imperial Physician Li came over to probe the emperor's pulse and prick a few more needles.

Suddenly, the emperor's breath slowed down slightly, but his face was still blue and white.

The emperor did not deliberately call himself sick, but he was really sick, and he was sick and reclining on a large pillow on the dragon couch.

There are six or seven imperial doctors in the dormitory of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and they are busy.

Cen Yin was also there, standing by the window near the east side, looking out of the window with a smile, the clouds were light and the wind was light, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.

The people serving around all noticed Cen Yin's coldness and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

They all silently looked away, neither daring to look at Cen Yin, nor daring to remind the emperor.

The emperor was still immersed in his resentment against the Geng family, grinding his back molars and said: "I trusted Geng Hai so much back then, and regarded him as a confidant and brother, it turns out that Geng Hai was guarding against me at that time!" ”

"Geng Hai is ill-intentioned, he is really a traitor, no wonder he betrayed the imperial brother! What a unjust death! ”

The emperor hated and was angry, and between the words, the fire in his heart that had been suppressed with great difficulty began to burn again.

"Ah Yin!" The emperor motioned for his chamberlain to help him sit up a little more, and ordered, "You let Dongchang pull all those people who talk nonsense outside into the edict prison to set an example." ”

"I want to see who else dares to talk nonsense!"

Cen Yin's gaze retracted from the window, and he looked at the emperor on the dragon couch with a calm expression, careless.

Imperial Physician Li silently withdrew from the dormitory, and the other attendants all hung their heads, turning a blind eye and turning a deaf ear.

After the emperor finished venting his anger, Cen Yin said to the emperor: "Please also ask the emperor to decree the rehabilitation of the Zhenbei Palace." ”

His voice was faint, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.

"......" The emperor stammered for a while, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and the dark tide was surging in his cloudy eyes.

For more than a year, first for Emperor Chongming's name, then for the first emperor's legacy edict, and now it is the leakage of the King of Zhenbei and Beiyan, his reputation as a dignified son of heaven has been ruined, and his throne is even more precarious.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, he didn't want to give an order.

Issuing an order is equivalent to leaving a substantial evidence in this matter, and I am afraid that it will fall into the hands of others in the future.

At this time, Cen Yin said again: "Your Majesty, this time there is a big chaos in Beijing, and the people are panicking, and the ministers are only afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos to make trouble." ”

"It's been ten years since this happened, and now the emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty is you, even if you have made a mistake?! No matter how many people jump up and down, can they force you to abdicate?! ”

His voice was as unhurried as usual, with a soothing power.

Several attendants around secretly exchanged glances, and they felt the same way: Lord Cen is right, that is, what mistakes the emperor has made in the past, these courtiers can still force the emperor to abdicate!

Sure enough, it was Lord Cen who knew best how to appease the emperor...... They must have been thinking too much about it just now.

The emperor slowly turned the jade wrench in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.

Ah Yin is right...... The imperial brother has no heirs, and the royal brothers under him are all incompetent, even if the throne is handed over to them, will they dare to accept it?!

Cen Yin was still saying slowly: "Your Majesty, those Shilin students are making trouble now, if Dongchang blindly pulls people into the edict, it will only ruin the emperor's reputation, and after this matter passes, it is not too late to slowly clean it up." ”

"Isn't there no one talking about Emperor Chongming last year?"

"These people are forgetful, they can only see who can give them a better life."

The corners of Cen Yin's lips drew a mocking arc at an angle that the emperor could not see. This is exactly what the emperor can't give!

It's been eighteen years, and Dasheng, which was originally thriving in the past eighteen years, is now full of holes......

Cen Yin's words were heard in the emperor's ears, but he felt that he had spoken to his heart in every word, and his heart gradually settled down.

Yes, those ignorant people are forgetful, and they will only remember that it was he, Emperor Longzhi, who brought them this prosperous world, who will remember those dead people.

Whether it's Xue Qiyuan or the imperial brother!

They are all dead and in ashes, what else can they do?!

There was silence in the dormitory, silence.

A gust of wind suddenly blew in outside the window, causing the Xiangfei curtain to sway slightly.

I don't know how long it took, the emperor raised his eyes and looked at Cen Yin not far away, gritted his teeth and said, "Spread my will......"

He can rehabilitate the Zhenbei Palace, which does not mean that he is collaborating with the enemy!

The emperor's edict to rehabilitate the Zhenbei Wangfu spread throughout the capital on the same day.

Even if the emperor didn't mention himself in the edict, he only said that the Zhenbei Wangfu did not collaborate with the enemy, and it was Geng Hai who deliberately slandered for his own selfish interests!

In the eyes of the world, this edict is nothing more than the emperor's self-deception.

At this moment, everyone, including those who were skeptical before, now know that the two secret decrees taken out by Xuan Guogong are true.

It has only been fourteen years since the fall of Zhenbei Wangfu, and many older people still remember it.

When the king of Zhenbei was there, the north was peaceful for a hundred years.

When the king of Zhenbei was there, Beiyan did not dare to disturb the realm.

When the king of Zhenbei was here, the northern border was the most solid barrier in the Central Plains, so why not let the Northern Yan Iron Hoof capture Lingwu City again!

However, the emperor, the great son of heaven, destroyed the Zhenbei Wangfu and the Zhenbei King because of his own selfish interests.

This is really chilling all over the world!

Far from quelling the anger of the people, the emperor's edict added fuel to the fire and made the capital even more noisy......

On August 10, a vigorous white horse galloped out of the West City Gate and came all the way to the foot of Qianfeng Mountain.

Cen Yin, who was dressed in moon-white straightness, went up the mountain unhurriedly and went to the Qianfeng Temple on the top of the mountain.

The presiding master, Master Huineng, seemed to have known that he would come today, and personally waited for him at the gate of the temple and led him to the Guanyin Hall.

Master Huineng only sent it outside the hall, and let Cen Yin go in by himself.

Cen Yin walked straight to the Buddha shrine behind the statue of Guanyin, since the last time the meditation hall went to the water, the Buddha shrine and the tablets inside have been moved to this Guanyin hall.

And he was here for the first time after that.

He stood still in front of the shrine for half a moment, the curtain above casting an eerie shadow on his beautiful face, and in the row of candlelight on the right, his cheeks were half-light and half-dark.

After a while, he silently retreated, knelt down on a futon, kowtowed to the tablets reverently, and then maintained a kneeling posture, looking up at the tablets in the Buddhist shrine, his expression was stunned, and his long and deep eyes were full of extremely complex emotions.

The memories of the past ten years flashed quickly in front of his eyes.

After the family was ruined, he came to the capital alone, in order to have a chance to take revenge, he could only choose a path of no return, he entered the palace, he planned step by step, he let his heart be like a stone, he put on a mask for himself......

Over the years, he rarely came to see them, ostensibly because of inconvenience, but in fact, he knew best in his heart that he didn't dare, and he had no shame to face his parents and sister.

Until now, he can finally come here without shame......

They are only one last step away.

Cen Yin clasped his hands together, his eyes were half-drooping, and the candlelight cast a faint halo on his jade-like skin, his expression was so pious, soft, and with a hint of sadness, just like the dignified and compassionate statue of Guanyin.

"Sister."

His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible to him.

"I promised you that I would survive."

"I did it...... I'm about to avenge our Xue family! ”

Cen Yin said in a low voice, his eyes slightly reddened.

A female voice sounded faintly in his ears—

"My sister knows that Ah Zhao is the most committed person! As long as you promise to do something, there's nothing you can't do! ”

"So, you have to promise your sister that you must live."

"You must live......"

Inside the Guanyin Palace, there was silence until outside the hall came the respectful voice of Master Huineng Lao: "Childe." ”

With a "squeak", the door of the Guanyin Hall was pushed open and closed.

Cen Yin didn't look back, the sound of footsteps behind him came clearly, getting closer and closer to him, and there was one more person kneeling on the futon beside him.

Feng Yan respectfully kowtowed to the tablets in the Buddhist shrine.

Then, Feng Yan turned his head to look at Cen Yin and called, "Big brother." ”

Cen Yin took the lead in standing up from the futon, and pulled Feng Yan up with his hand, Feng Yan stepped forward to close the Buddhist shrine, and removed the curtain to cover it.

Then the two turned and walked in the direction of the outside of the temple.

Cen Yin said as he walked: "Ah Yan, I just received news from the northern border early in the morning, and I happened to tell you. ”

"The team sent by Mu Jianming to negotiate peace should be able to reach the north in three days at the latest."

"Beiyan seems to be resting in the area of Lingwu City, but they are gathering grain, grass, military horses and equipment, and another group of soldiers from Beiyan have entered the northern border."

Cen Yin's voice was still unhurried, vaguely revealing a touch of solemnity.

Two rows of white candles burned on either side of the temple, and there was a slight sizzling sound between the candles.

Cen Yin turned his head to Shang Feng Yan's phoenix eyes that were exceptionally bright in the candlelight, and spoke even more slowly: "I don't know if the time will come in time." ”

Cen Yin was to the point, but Feng Yan understood what he was talking about.

Originally, they had made all the preparations, just waiting for Feng Yan to return to the throne as the son of Emperor Chongming and restore the orthodoxy of the Mu family, but when the new emperor ascended the throne, this court and this Dasheng were bound to be chaotic for a while, and they would need a little time to stabilize the country.

If at this time, the Northern Yan army continued to move south, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Under the current situation of foreign enemies, Dasheng cannot have internal strife, otherwise, Dasheng is afraid that the country will be ruined if he is not careful......

The more this happens, the more they must be cautious and never allow the situation to develop to that point.

"Big brother, I understand." Feng Yan said in a deep voice.

He and Wen Wuchen had already considered all kinds of possibilities and thought about the worst outcome.

"I made arrangements when I went to the north last month, and if Beiyan moved, I would try to block them......"

As Feng Yan spoke, he pulled his arms and opened the door of the hall, and the bright sunlight shone directly, and the surroundings suddenly became bright and open.

Master Huineng was still guarding outside the hall, holding a string of Buddhist beads in one hand, and performing a Buddhist salute to the two of them with the other, "Lao Wei has already let people seal the back temple, and the two of them can walk." ”

"I'm tired of the master." Feng Yan arched his hand at Master Huineng.

Master Huineng left, and Cen Yin said again: "Ah Yan, accompany me to the osmanthus forest in the back temple for a walk, the osmanthus should bloom at this time." ”

"The osmanthus should all be blooming." Feng Yan looked in the direction of the Hou Temple and said affirmatively.

Although in previous years he came to Qianfeng Temple on the ninth day of September, every time he came, the maple red overshadowed the cinnamon, but I often heard people mention that the osmanthus in Qianfeng Temple still bloomed the most beautiful in mid-August.

The two of them originally just went for a walk to enjoy the osmanthus, but while appreciating it, Feng Yan ran to pick the flowers, filled a bag full of osmanthus flowers, and said that they would take it back to make osmanthus brine for Duanmu Fei.

Looking at Feng Yan's bright and bright smile, Cen Yin's mood also became a lot lighter, and he waved him away, "You hurry up and send flowers, save the flowers." ”

"Big brother, then I'll go first." Feng Yan bowed his hand briskly and left.

After he left, Cen Yin felt that the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and his eyes looked at the osmanthus forest in front of him.

He still remembers when he was a child in the north, and around the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would also help his mother and sister pick osmanthus together.

He was impatient to sweep the laurel branches with a bamboo pole, so he climbed up the tree, but the osmanthus branches were so thin that he fell from the tree, but fortunately his father arrived and caught him.

The father said that the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, and that he made his mother and sister worry about him, so he punished him for two hours.

At that time, his father personally stayed in the school field to supervise him.

He was only five years old at the time, where could he afford to eat, but later his mother helped him lead his father away, and his sister quietly came over to help him massage his legs and feet.

When his father returned, he made a look of Zama.

He didn't know it at the time, but when he grew up, and when he thought about it again, he knew in his heart that his father must have known that they were helping him at that time, and he was just deliberately deceived.

Looking back at this moment, the past is still vivid, and he wants to immerse himself in it and never wake up.

"......

A gust of wind blew, the osmanthus branches swayed, and the rich fragrance of osmanthus came to his face, making him feel a little breathless.

Cen Yin casually dusted his shoulders, dusted off the few osmanthus flowers that fell off his shoulders, and then turned to leave.

The wind at the top of the mountain was a little strong, and between the steps, the horns of the robes fluttered with the wind.

When he left the back temple and bypassed the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and was about to leave the Qianfeng Temple, a crisp and smiling female voice suddenly came from behind: "Cen Gongzi." ”

This is......

Cen Yin turned around and saw a petite figure walking out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall with light steps, the little girl was wearing a plain dress, smiling with crooked eyebrows, and waved at him very cutely.

Cen Yin suddenly had a feeling of ridicule, remembering that Feng Yan's kid was afraid that he was sneaking into Duanmu Mansion with the bag of osmanthus at the moment, but he found that the person was not there, so he ran away.

Feng Yan's kid is really unlucky.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a girl in a moon-white skirt walking out of Duanmufei, with skin as white as snow and a bright appearance.

Of course, Duanmujun also saw Cen Yin, and felt that it was really a coincidence.

She stepped forward with Duanmu Fei and greeted Cen Yin with a smile, "Master Cen Gongzi, are you also here to offer incense?" ”

Cen Yin nodded in response, and suddenly felt that the fragrance of osmanthus that lingered on the tip of his nose was not so strong, and the fragrance was pleasant.

Duanmu Fei quickly winked at Cen Yin.

Actually, it's not a "coincidence" at all.

Recently, the affairs of the Zhenbei Wangfu have been in an uproar, and Duanmu Fei also knows that in addition to the tablet of the Chongming Emperor and the Queen of Chongming, the tablet of the Zhenbei King and his wife is also enshrined in this Qianfeng Temple.

Finally, the Zhenbei Wangfu cleared up the grievances, and Feng Yan, An Ping and Cen Yin will definitely come here to offer incense to comfort the dead.

Duanmufei deliberately pulled Duanmu to incense today, also for this reason, but after the temple was closed, she retreated to the next best thing to incense in the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

However, Qianfeng Temple is so big, it is quite a coincidence that they can meet here.

Duanmu asked with a smile: "Gongzi Cen, my sister and I have just made incense, do you want to go down the mountain with us?" ”

Cen Yin clenched his fists, his eyes were dark, and he wanted to say that he wanted to stay in the temple for a meal, but the words that came out of his mouth became: "I'll send you." ”

"Master Cen, Zhen Zhen and I plan to go to our grandmother's house before going home." Duanmu hooked his lips and smiled, his smile bright.

While the three of them were talking, they walked out of the Thousand Maple Temple and walked down the stone steps down the mountain without hurrying.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Duanmu skillfully whistled, and Feipian and Shuang, who were grazing at the foot of the mountain, ran out of the woods and rushed to the sisters.

Feipian and Shuang Xuan both knew Cen Yin, and made a squeaky sound at him, rubbing affectionately.

This scene made the sisters laugh.

Cen Gongzi really likes animals. Duanmu Jun smiled very happily, thinking that both his little starling and his own horse liked Cen Yin.

Duanmufei also seemed to think of it with Duanmujun, and touched Feipian's horse's neck funny, muttering: "Feipian, don't be like Xiaoba, you ran away with Gongzi Cen!" ”

Feipian snorted arrogantly, and Duanmu Fei could only feed it a pine nut candy to curry favor.

Duanmujun looked at this scene and laughed out loud, Duanmufei couldn't help laughing himself, the sisters' bright summer smiles seemed to be contagious, and Cen Yin's mood was also lightened.

The three of them soon got on their respective horses and rode their horses on the return journey back to Beijing, anyway, they were not in a hurry, they took it slowly, as if they were just going out for an outing.

Feipian has always been naughty, every time it walks by itself, it will run blindly, teasing Shuang Xuan for a while, and provoking Cen Yin's white horse for a while, but these two white horses are steady, and no one pays attention to it.

Feipian felt bored, so she played by herself, chasing butterflies for a while, eating grass on the side of the official road, and chasing other donkeys and mules to other trails.

Duanmu Fei urged and dragged three times and four times, and finally pulled the little ancestor back to the right path, and let it speed up to chase Cen Yin and Duanmu Jun in front.

When she chased three or four feet away from the two of them, she subconsciously pulled the horse rope, so that Feipian slowed down again.

Cen Yin and Duanmu Jun in front of them rode their horses side by side, and the two didn't know what they were talking about, their faces were full of smiles, and their spirits were flying.

Duanmu Fei looked at Cen Yin, and then at Duanmu Jun, and her eyes fell on her shining eyes.

Duanmu Fei crooked her little face thoughtfully, and couldn't help but think of the last time the Li family's grandmother asked her to ask if her sister had a sweetheart.

Duanmu Fei touched his chin and pursed his mouth slightly.

It seems that when my sister and Cen Gongzi are together, they will smile very beautifully.

Could it be that the sweetheart that my grandmother said was Cen Gongzi?

But why didn't my sister tell herself......

Duanmu Fei was thinking about it, when the city gate appeared in front of him, and the three of them entered the city.

It was not yet noon, and the streets were very lively, especially near the city gates, where people came and went.

The three of them rode their horses in the direction of Xiangyun Lane, and when they came to Nankai Street, they saw that the street in front of them was surrounded by people with three layers inside and three layers outside.

Cen Yin frowned slightly, and proposed to Duanmu and Duanmufei: "Let's go another way." ”

Duanmujun nodded, and was about to respond, when he heard someone in front of him shouting at the top of his voice:

"Murder! Someone has taken a knife and cut someone! ”

"Someone is killed, go and report to Jingzhao Mansion!"

A few people ran and shouted as they ran past the three of Duanmu Fei, and one of the young men was stopped by a middle-aged man: "Brother, what's going on in front of you?" Killed? ”

------Off topic------
