Chapter 116: New Year's Day Begins
The silence in the house and the bustle outside the house seem to be two worlds, revealing a sense of desertion.
Baili Rongxi sat at the table, writing something. His expression is focused, his face is clear, and the lights soften his cold temperament.
I don't know if it was an "accident" in practicing calligraphy before, Wei Yufei always had a feeling of unbalanced heartbeat when she looked at Baili Rongxi now, and she was a little nervous unconsciously.
This guy with zero love experience hasn't realized that this is like.
It's really a simple thing to like, maybe it's love at first sight, and it's heartbeat.
"Come and sit."
Baili Rong didn't raise his head, dipped it in ink, and continued to write.
Wei Yufei had to order him to sit down next to Baili Rongxi immediately, and he didn't dare to interrupt him rashly, waiting for Baili Rongxi to finish writing.
After about a moment, Baili Rongxi finally stopped writing, called the guards in, and handed him a thick pile of letterheads, and he didn't know who he was sending it to.
And Wei Yufei, from sitting upright, to supporting his head with one hand, and then lying on the table, the time he experienced was only two moments. Now my eyes are blinking, full of sleepiness.
If Baili Rongxi can't finish writing again, I'm afraid she won't be able to fall asleep.
"Sleepy?"
Baili Rongxi couldn't help but smile, and couldn't help but knock Wei Yufei with the tip of the pen.
"Nope!"
The dead duck had a hard mouth, Wei Yufei hurriedly sat upright, looking as energetic as he was.
Baili Rongxi didn't poke her, took out a letter, and said, "This is a letter from him, it should be in the past few days." ”
"So fast?"
Wei Yufei's heart sank, and said, "What is the situation in the palace now?" ”
"There is no room for optimism. Shi Chongchao and Li Guichen are preparing to rebel. ”
Baili Rongxi said: "So a team of elites needs to enter the capital in advance to prevent accidents." ”
After that, his eyes fell on Wei Yufei and said, "Do you think you are up to the task for this task?" ”
"The last general will not fail in his mission!"
"Okay."
Baili Rongxi stood up and took a baggage, "Among them are some silver taels, after entering the city, be sure not to startle the snake, hide carefully, and secretly monitor Li Guichen." And this warrant for you to hold. ”
Baili Rongxi handed another token to Wei Yufei.
"What is this?"
Wei Yufei carefully examined the token, the size of his palm, cast in black iron, with a tiger carved on one side and the word "Wen" on the other.
"This is the warrant of the Tiger Battalion General of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion in the Imperial City, and at a critical moment, you can rely on this order to unconditionally dispatch one hundred soldiers of the Tiger Battalion of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion."
"And what is this 'Wen'?"
"The capital Wen Mansion, if you are in trouble, you can go to the Wen Mansion for help."
Wei Yufei nodded and put the token away.
"Time waits for no one, let's go now."
"Yes!"
Wei Yufei took the burden, turned around and walked out, only to take a step and pause, looked back at Baili Rongxi, smiled slightly, and said, "Strategist, can I ask you something?" ”
"What's the matter?"
"That's it...... Sister Rong Lan. ”
Hearing Rong Lan's words, Baili Rongxi's face stiffened slightly, "What did you ask her to do?" ”
"Didn't you say before that she would come back to the northwest for the Chinese New Year?"
Wei Yufei muttered in a low voice, Baili Rongxi remembered what he had said to fool Wei Yufei at that time, sure enough, a lie has to be made up for with countless lies, how can he change Wei Yufei into a "Rong Lan" now, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "She went home this year." ”
"Oh, can I ...... then?"
"No, you can't!"
Baili Rongxi knew what she wanted to say, and intercepted her at the beginning of her words.
“…… Oh. ”
Wei Yufei shrugged his shoulders, he should have thought that Baili Rongxi was a sister control, looking at the strength of this calf protector. But......
"Really?"
She took two steps, turned back at the door and asked, the smile on her face was sarcastic.
"No just no way! Hurry up, hurry up, go away! ”
Baili Rongxi was still a little worried about Wei Yufei, but when she saw the smile on her face, she felt like she understood the meaning of Wei Yufei's teasing, and she was suddenly a little embarrassed, and drove people away unceremoniously.
"Gone!"
This festival is destined to leave a strong mark in the history books.
On the first day of the first month, New Year's Day begins.
Li Fuxian is the first prince to start writing on New Year's Day, and the palace is much more solemn than any year.
On the top of the main hall, Li Fuxian sat on the dragon chair for the first time and sat in Li Yaoshen's position, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone had been prepared on the imperial case.
"Your Highness, the hour has come."
Li flicked his head and raised his pen to write.
New Year's Day opens, there are three lines, the middle line is written with cinnabar red pen is "New Year's Day of the first year, Haiyu Tongjubi, harmony and auspiciousness, harvest year for Rui"; The left and right sides are written in ink, and the line on the right is "May the subjects of the world enjoy eternal peace"; The line on the left reads, "What you wish will come true, what you want will come true, auspicious wishes".
After writing, the New Year's Day pen was immediately sealed, and after worshipping the Jongmyo Temple, the new New Year's Day pen replaced the last year's New Year's Day pen.
The bell of the Bell and Drum Tower once again spread throughout the capital, which also means that the new year has officially begun.
Everything is going in order.
The Four Princes' Mansion.
"Master, Commander Jiang is back."
The attendant knocked on the door of the study, interrupting the conversation in the study.
Li Guichen put down the teacup and said, "Let him in." ”
"Yes."
After a while, a young man in Tsing Yi came in, still with a bit of cold air on his body.
He seemed to be in the dust all the way, and his face was tiredness that could not be concealed, and even the cyan jade spike on the sword behind his back seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow.
"I've seen His Highness, Xiangguo."
Jiang Qianqi's eyes glanced at the study, and after a rough count, there were more than ten people. They are all high-ranking and powerful figures in the court, including almost all the upper-level officials. And they gathered together at this time, it was definitely not for them to talk about it.
"How did the trip turn out?"
Li Guichen didn't shy away from these people, and asked directly.
"Back to His Highness, Jiang has fulfilled his mission, they have all arrived in the capital and are ready to listen to His Highness's orders at any time."
"Good!"
Li Guichen couldn't help laughing, "You've worked this trip, let's go down and repair it first." ”
"Yes."
After this episode, the conversation in the study began again.
"Fourth Highness, what you just said, is there any real evidence?"
The person who spoke turned out to be Cao Ling, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army in the Imperial City. He originally belonged to the Imperial Forest Army directly under the emperor, and he should be the emperor's henchman, but now he actually appeared here, but I don't know when he joined Li Guichen.
"Naturally, there is evidence."
Li Guichen clapped his hands in fear, and immediately an attendant served a plate, which turned out to be a thick clan list.
"Father, he not only wants to support the crown prince, but also wants to suppress the clan and support the Shu clan. This list of clans is the family he is planning to cut. You can see if you are one of them. There are also those families that have disappeared, the Wang family...... I think everyone is familiar with it. ”
Flipping over the cover, the first name turned out to be Wang's. Today, the name has been crossed out by Zhu Pen.
And the Shi clan followed closely after the Wang clan, followed by the Zhao clan and the Lin clan...... Cao ......
None of you can run away.
The fate of the Wang family is a lesson for them, the emperor will not be merciful, he will only cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no one.
"This ......"
Just a cursory look, the famous families of the big week are all among them.
"My father has been laying out since then, and today, he is about to close the net."
Li Guichen looked over from everyone's different faces, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. In fact, no matter who wins in the end, these people will be swept away.
The atmosphere in the study became more and more gloomy, and people were overwhelmed.
"Guys, can you think about it?"
"Weichen has another question."
This time it was Cao Ling who spoke, he got up and looked at Li Guichen, a burly man who had just looked at the clan directory, and his face was a little pale, obviously frightened. And everyone else is pretty much the same.
"Commander Cao, please speak."
Li Guichen already knew in his heart that these people had been shaken.
"Dare to ask Your Highness, Your Majesty's body ......"
"As you know, my father rushed to make the crown prince because the dragon was sick. Today's situation, after today, who knows if there will be tomorrow? ”
Everyone was shocked, and looked at Li Guichen's gaze with a little fear. Although there is no father and son in the heavenly family, it is not fake that Li Yaoshen once doted on him, but he didn't expect Li Guichen to move his hand at Li Yaoshen without blinking.
What he means is that his determination is reversed, time waits for no one, and when he ascends the throne, it is when Li Yaoshen dies.
"As for the Northwest Army that everyone is worried about, they won a big victory in the battle with Beirong, but they will definitely not return to the DPRK before the Beirong mission returns."
Now, when everything is done, only these people owe their courage.
The winner is the king, and the defeat is not just as simple as Kou, they will only disappear in the long river of history and become an inconspicuous stepping stone in the brilliant achievements of Li Yaoshen and Li Fuxian.
Bo has a glimmer of life, but if you don't Bo, there is only a dead end.
Li Guichen has already spread out this matter and said, whether you choose it or not, there will be an end today.
"Your Majesty will listen to His Highness's orders!"
Unexpectedly, the first person to choose was Cao Ling, and he almost didn't hesitate.
With the first man, there were many followers. Anyway, they were driven to a dead end, so why not give it a go.
"Minister, listen to His Highness's orders."
The last one is naturally Shi Chongchao, who is now a grasshopper on a rope and has no second choice.
"Good!"
Li Guichen stood up and helped Shi Chongchao up.
"Thank you for your trust, please stand up."
When I sat down again, the topic of conversation changed. It looks more solemn and solemn.
"So when is Your Highness going to ......?"
"You may as well tell me what you mean."
Li Guichen didn't say when the incident happened, but kicked the ball to everyone.
Everyone was gossiping, some said now, some said a few months later, when it came to it, and in the end, Shi Chongchao spoke, "Everyone, please listen to what this official says." ”
Shi Chongchao was originally the head of the hundred officials, and he was also the top boss of these people, so everyone naturally listened to him.
"Your Highness, your plan is very big, and the involvement is extensive, but you can't delay time, the old minister thinks that it is better to decide this matter quickly."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
Li Guichen raised his eyebrows, he had already prepared for today, and Shi Chongchao was in line with his intentions.
"This matter is fast, take the lead, otherwise, if they take the lead, or if the news leaks, it will not be conducive to His Highness."
Shi Chongchao just refused to say a specific time, and kicked the ball back into Li Guichen's arms, it was really an old fox.
"Xiangguo's words are reasonable."
"Since the prince started writing on New Year's Day, then I should hold the incense to worship the ancestors on the day of the people."
After a moment of silence, everyone said in unison: "Minister, Commander!" ”
Seven days later, the winner will be known. Now, I have to give it a go.
