Ji Zeyu really made up his mind, and handed over the excerpt at the next day's court meeting.

Xiao Xiao still said the same sentence: "Ah Lan, if you want to walk around, then just go, but don't forget to come back." There is your home in the capital, and I will keep your state mansion and title and official position. ”

The emperor who was high up in the sky still claimed to be "me" when he said these words to Ji Zeyu.

He is not pretending to be intimate, nor is he acting approachable to show his bearing, Ji Zeyu knows that Xiao Xiao has always trusted and been close to him from the bottom of his heart. is not like Li Qitian, after practicing Zuo at the beginning, he stood tall, and even said a few words close to him for others to see.

Ji Zeyu's eyes were hot, such a good ......

He hurriedly lowered his head to hide his surging emotions, and after a long time, Fang saluted hoarsely: "Thank you, Your Majesty, minister, I am grateful." ”

"What to do so politely." He hurriedly helped him up with both hands, and sighed, "What day can you set to set off?" Where do you want to go first? I'll see you off then. ”

"The emperor is busy with court affairs......"

"No matter how busy you are, this time is there." Without waiting for Ji Zeyu to finish his refusal, he had already made a strong decision.

Ji Zeyu only felt sweet and bitter in his heart, and suddenly he didn't want to leave.

But he didn't say anything, just bowed his head in acquiescence.

After the court meeting, colleagues expressed regret for Ji Zeyu's decision. Although he has resigned from his official position, he can look at the emperor's attitude and know that even if he is an idler, he is also the emperor's worship brother and the most noble idler. is because their attitude towards Ji Zeyu is only closer and respectful, and they dare not be slacking off at all.

And Ji Zeyu returned to the Guogong Mansion and looked at the huge mansion, feeling at a loss.

The heavy burden on his shoulders had been carried for too long, and he was suddenly relieved, but he no longer knew how to live a good life.

Ji Zeyu wandered aimlessly around the house, and when he came back to his senses, he had already arrived at the stable again.

The snow-white horse is proudly tied to the stable, just look at the bone shape to know that it is different, it seems to be spiritual, and when he saw Ji Zeyu, he raised his head, and the bright coat color glowed with a faint layer of matte light in the sun, which looked particularly beautiful.

Ji Zeyu stepped forward, and Bai Yun came close and lowered his head, rubbing Ji Zeyu's face affectionately.

Stretching his arms tiredly and hugging the horse's neck, Ji Zeyu closed his eyes and buried his face in them.

That's it, so be it.

The next day, Honglu Temple received envoys from Nanyan. The envoy respectfully took a blood-drenched "generous gift", which could be called a shock to the government and the opposition.

On the Jinluan Palace, two exquisite brocade boxes are placed in two human heads that have undergone special embalming treatment, the old and the young, who died peacefully, and everyone saw it very clearly.

It was Gu Shixiong and Yu Chiyan.

"See the Great New Son of Heaven! Our emperor has always admired the talent and virtue of the new son of heaven, even if he chatted with the courtiers, three or five sentences will definitely mention the heroic deeds of the original son of heaven in the country. This Wei Chi Yan and Gu Shixiong are remnants of Dayan, who hid in Nanyan a few days ago, and actually had the heart to contact the old department!

"Now that the country and the people are safe under the rule of the Great New Dynasty, the wind and rain are smooth, and the people are so easy to live a stable life, how can they allow people like them to be corrupted? Our emperor immediately made a decision to dedicate the heads of the two, one is to stabilize the country, and the other is to show the sincerity of our country's friendly friendship to the new emperor, and I hope that the emperor of the new dynasty will be clear. ”

Xiao Xiao lowered his head and looked at the heads of Chi Yan and Gu Shixiong, the lieutenant in the brocade box, and was silent for a while, and then said for a long time: "Although Yu Chiyan is the king of the dead country, he is also the king of a country, and the imperial tomb of the Yan Dynasty is still in the mausoleum, so he will send Yu Chiyan back to the imperial tomb in the old capital of the Yan Dynasty, as for the old man Gu Shixiong, he assisted the three emperors, although he is different from our position, we cannot deny his loyalty and courage, this old man has to respect, and he is also buried thickly." ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" The courtiers shouted in unison. Xiao Xiao's move made them admire it very much. After Yu Chiyan took refuge in Li Qitian, he did not fight against the emperor who was still a loyal prince at that time, but now the emperor is willing to let him be buried in the imperial mausoleum of Yu Chi's family, and also gave Yu Chiyan and Gu Shixiong dignity, which is already benevolent for a hundred years.

Seeing that Nanyan was such an attitude, the cold sweat was about to flow down, and he said: "Your Majesty, my Nanyan is located in a corner of the coast, the country is small and weak, and I really have no intention of causing any disputes again, and my country has only been for stable development over the years." ”

Xiao Xiao smiled, just nodded.

The envoy of Nanyan lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at Tianyan, and said: "Yes, the Great New Emperor really doesn't need to be so cautious, even if there is no Pingnan Army on the border of Nanyan, and there are no dozens of warships outside Nanyan's coastal defense, Nanyan will never have two hearts about Daxinchao!" ”

The Pingnan army is now guarding the border between the two countries in the south, and the group of men who have just returned from the battlefield, even their spirit and spirit are different from ordinary soldiers, they poke at that, murderous, and the Nanyan border army is frightened by a casual roar, for fear that the other party will fight directly.

Nanyan was close to the sea, and thought that they would have the final say on the sea, but who knew when it started, dozens of warships, large and small, approached and surrounded Nanyan's sea frontier.

Nanyan Junchen really couldn't think of any other way, so he deceived Yu Chiyan and Gu Shixiong, who fled to Nanyan, and offered their heads to show their sincerity after killing, asking for peace.

Hearing that dozens of warships were surrounding Nanyan's coastal defense, the ministers did not know what was going on.

Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "These warships are the ones that were docked in Jingang in the Northern Hebei Kingdom, the first emperor intended to dismantle the warships to build the imperial tomb, thanks to Mr. Lu Yunlu's many operations, only to keep these warships, otherwise my new coastal defense is still a big hidden danger, if the funds are allocated to build warships, one is difficult to find old craftsmen, and the other is a huge cost, I am really grateful to Mr. Lu for his high righteousness." ”

The courtiers all suddenly realized that there were simple-minded ones, and they all thought that Lu Yun had done his best to protect these warships. But there are those who are lively, and they have already guessed that the current emperor must have made some efforts, otherwise with Lu Yun alone, no matter how huge the power of the family is, I am afraid it will be difficult to transport the warship away from Jingang.

When the courtiers were discussing, the envoys of Nanyan were already sweating, and seeing that he ignored him, he hurriedly said: "Emperor Daxin, our Emperor Nanyan has always been grateful for your life-saving grace, and I also know Daxin's strong ability. ”

As he spoke, his forehead was tightly pressed against the ground, for fear that he would not agree, and his eyes would hit him as soon as he waited.

In fact, the army that has just experienced the baptism of war is the most difficult to resist. If there is a big fight, it will be the people who will suffer.

Xiao Xiao smiled, comforted the envoy a few words, and instructed people not to slack off in hospitality, but did not make a clear statement.

And the more he had such an attitude, the more uneasy the envoy became, and when he left the capital and rushed back to Nanyan, he was worried all the way, for fear that he would be killed.

Regarding the issue of Nanyan, the courtiers were also divided into two rows, some of them were the main battle, and some of them felt that Ying should postpone the discussion.

This topic has been discussed for half a month without any results.

And Qin Huaiyuan and his entourage have also prepared everything during this period of time.

Thirty miles away from the capital, Qin Yining dressed as an ordinary noblewoman, knelt in front of Qin Huaiyuan, Sun and Zheng with tears in her eyes, and kowtowed solemnly.

"Father, mother, grandmother. I don't know when we'll see each other again. Please also ask your father, mother, and grandmother to take care of your health. Don't worry too much about state affairs, my daughter is here, and I will always pray for your good health, and when things are stable here, my daughter will come to see you. ”

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and stepped forward to support Qin Yining.

But Qin Yining refused to get up, choked up: "If it weren't for me, my father and mother wouldn't have decided to stay in that place and suffer." The daughter can't be filial piety by her side, and she has to take care of her father and mother, and the daughter really loses in her heart. ”

"Silly boy." Qin Huaiyuan helped Qin Yining to get up, and patted her back with his big hand, "You just have to stay here to teach your husband and children, and the decisions you make for your father are not all for you." This is also what the father really wants to do, where to find the direction of the father's efforts, willing to work hard, this sense of accomplishment is sweet, you don't have to have such a heavy burden in your heart. ”

Qin Yining nodded, holding back her tears and not letting it fall.

Cao Yuqing put her arm around Brother Zhao'er's shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will take care of Brother Zhao, and make sure that we see you next time, Brother Zhao will be a little man who stands up to the sky." ”

At the mention of the children to be separated, Qin Yining's tears almost couldn't be held back.

Brother Zhao raised his head like a little adult, "Mother." ”

Qin Yining squatted in front of Brother Zhao, touched his fair little face, clicked on the little red mole on his eyebrows, and smiled.

Brother Zhao also smiled, "Mother, if someone bullies you, you will come to me." ”

Brother Han was unconvinced: "With me, no one will bully my mother!" ”

The two children stuck out their tongues and grimaced at each other, and the original sad atmosphere was diluted at once.

At this time, Xiao Xiao respectfully saluted Qin Huaiyuan and other elders, "Father-in-law, please rest assured, I will never break my word, I will only be good to Sister Yi in this life." Now everything I say is in vain, but time will tell what I have said. ”

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and didn't answer, but said, "Take care." ”

"Take care."

Liao Zhibing and the others had been waiting for a long time with the brothers of the Qingtian League, helping Qin Huaiyuan and his party to get into the car.

Xiao Xiao patted Mu Jinghu's shoulder and said, "Wood, thank you for your hard work." ”

"It's not hard, don't worry, I will send Uncle Qin and his party to a safe place, and then we will go back to Tianji Valley."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "With you, I am naturally relieved." ”

Qiu Feishan, who was beside Mu Jinghu, hugged Brother Yan, and Fang Hailing held Lian Xiao's hand and saluted Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining together.

"Sister, let's go." Even Xiao Congee's eyes were red and swollen like walnuts, and he stepped forward to hug Qin Yining.

Qin Yining patted her on the back, still holding back her tears, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, don't cry." From now on, it's your own life, live a good life, and if it's not as you like, you will come back. As I said, I'll always be your maiden home here. ”

"Hmm!" Lian Xiao Congee nodded heavily, and went to hug Bingtang and Jiyun again, "Sister Bingtang, Sister Jiyun, take care." ”

"So are you." Bingtang snorted, even after the little porridge was brought back by Qin Yining, she always liked to follow her, and she also cherished the little girl who couldn't even speak at that time, and now, they have all married and have their own lives.

I don't know when the next goodbye will be.

Everyone got into the carriage separately, Qiu Feishan also hugged Brother Yan and got into the car, Mu Jinghu rode a horse and followed the convoy, smiling and waving goodbye to Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao.

"Drive!" As soon as the rider waved his whip, the procession set off for the official road.

Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao stood in place with Brother Han.

Brother Zhao leaned out of the car window with half of his small body, and waved his little hand vigorously at Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao.

Seeing that it was really separated, Brother Han, who was still smiling and grimacing just now, finally cried "wow".

"Brother! Brother! Brother Han chased and ran two steps, but stopped alive, covered his face and cried.

In response to him, Brother Zhao cried the same as in the carriage.

Qin Yining's tears that he had endured all morning finally fell, but he still refused to let go of his waving hand until the convoy completely disappeared from view.

It's a secluded valley. The eyes are all verdant, and the wind is rising, sending a burst of grass-specific fragrance.

In the middle of the valley, a large mansion was built by the mountains and rivers.

At this time, a woman with a round figure, hair half length and no short, wearing a wide monastic robe, was sitting on a drunken chair and shaking a fan. There were two small benches in front of her, one man and one woman sitting facing her on the left and one on the right. The scene was somewhat solemn.

"This fairy aunt is a thorough ability, I know five hundred years before and five hundred years after five hundred years, pinch my fingers, what is the emperor thinking in his heart, I don't know? If I live, he will not let me! It's better to sell him a personal favor, you see, this fairy aunt is so comfortable now, and she will never get involved with those bad things anymore! ”

"Master, you ...... You're really ...... I was so bitter to deceive, how many tears made me shed in vain! ”

Mu Jinghu's face was pale, and as soon as he finished complaining, he was slapped on the door of his head by Tianjizi.

"Little rabbit, my old man doesn't blame you for only caring about your good brother, whether I live or die, you blame me for not dying? In order to save the Qin family, I lost half of my name, even if I calculated her and thought about killing her, I also paid it back now, and her man also ascended the throne as the emperor, what else do you want me to do, ah? Do you have to be willing to die of my old man? ”

"That's not what I meant. However, isn't it bad to deceive Zhixi like this? ”

"Bad?" Tianjizi sat up straight: "Do you know how hard it was for me to pretend to be dead!" That Qin's essence is like a monkey, I can't get out of the slightest flaw, let me tell you, I have had the peaceful days I have now, if you dare to tell me, you will not be the door of Tianjimen in the future! ”

Mu Jinghu was silent.

After all, he was greatly favored by the Heavenly Machine Gate, and he didn't want to do anything about betraying his master.

Qiu Feishan said: "Just listen to the master, not to mention that hiding the life and death of the master has no impact on the affairs of the emperor and the queen, right?" ”

Mu Jinghu raised his eyes and looked at Tianjizi, and after fighting for a long time in his heart, he finally nodded.

Anyway, with him watching, it's inconvenient for Tianjizi to go out and continue to deceive after faking his death, and there won't be any big moths in the future, right?

Tianjizi leaned back in the drunkard's chair again, and shook gracefully.

"Hey, you guys, don't think the emperor is a fool. He is much more shrewd than Li Qitian. Li Qitian is not the material to be the emperor, he still has to put green onions in the pig's nose, let's see, what will happen to him now? Life imprisonment, you can't live, you can't die! This is also the evil result that he has to force!

"Like the original Lu family, such an intertwined big family, Li Qitian's idiot can actually allow it to exist? The family is so strong, it is a big threat to the imperial power! Li Qitian didn't think about how to disintegrate and uproot, but he still relied on the family, and simply pushed himself on the road to the puppet, phew! ”

Tianjizi took a sip, and when he turned his head, he saw Qiu Feishan.

She slowed down the speed of her speech, but said in a sonorous voice: "Today, a family like the Lu family will not be allowed to exist." He would not allow the family to be large enough to infiltrate the officialdom of the DPRK and China, because he had already witnessed the harm that such a family would do to the imperial court. ”

Qiu Feishan's face was a little stiff.

Tianjizi glanced at her unceremoniously, "Hey, some people claim to be smart, but in the end they want to dig their own graves, even if they lie to fools, they have to stop in moderation." ”

Mu Jinghu blinked and said, "Master, she has already severed her relationship with the Qiu family, even if the emperor wants to liquidate the Qiu family, it has nothing to do with her." ”

"Really? That's good. Tianjizi smiled and shook the pu fan, "I want to eat watermelon, I want to eat Guyu meat, I want to eat Dongpo elbow!" ”

The topic changed too quickly, which made Mu Jinghu stunned again.

Qiu Feishan hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to prepare." And he walked away.

There was silence in the courtyard again, and Tianjizi covered his face with a fan, as if he was asleep.

Mu Jinghu stood up and walked in the direction of the kitchen.

A round of red sun slowly jumped out of the clouds, and the morning glow surged all over the sky, almost connecting with the golden sea in the distance.

Qin Yining looked at the two men not far away, and did not speak.

Xiao Xiao wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at Ji Zeyu, who was dressed in wide sleeves and white: "Ah Lan, do you really plan to go to sea with the merchant ship?" If you want to relax, where can't you go? The sea is stormy and dangerous, if you meet the Yi people and can't understand what they say, where you look at the sea is water, what's the fun? ”

Ji Zeyu smiled, raised his horsewhip and said, "Even if I go to sea, I will carry this whip with me." If I can't come back, and you find this whip in the future, it means ......"

"Nonsense!" The owl rebuked angrily.

When he was looking for Qin Yining, when the situation was the most severe, Ji Zeyu gave him the horse whip in order to make it convenient for him to dispatch his subordinates, and the soldiers of the Longxiang Army in the north recognized the horse whip. In exchange, Xiao Xiao also gave his horse whip to Ji Zeyu, and Ji Zeyu used Xiao Xiao's horse whip until now.

Ji Zeyu looked back at Qin Yining who was not far away, smiled, took the reins from the servants behind him, and slowly walked over with a white horse with shiny fur.

Qin Yining looked at Ji Zeyu with complicated eyes.

"The Queen's Mother. I robbed this horse from you, and I have been fighting with me ever since. Now that I'm going to sea, I'll give it to you. I hope you will take care of it. ”

As he spoke, he handed the reins to Qin Yining.

Under the morning light, Ji Zeyu's bony hand was half tucked into his wide sleeve, and he handed the reins to Qin Yining.

Qin Yining slowly raised his hand and took it.

Bai Yun seemed to know that his master was leaving, leaned down his slender horse's neck, and rubbed Ji Zeyu with attachment, Ji Zeyu patted it with a smile, and his gentle smile seemed to treat his own child.

Ji Zeyu smiled.

"Queen Mother, it is yours after all, and now it is also returned to its original owner."

"Take care." Qin Yining seemed to have something blocking his throat, and he only said this sentence.

Ji Zeyu nodded with a smile, turned around and patted Xiao Xiao's shoulder, then took the horsewhip and strode towards the small boat docked next to the Golden Harbor, and took advantage of the strength to go in the direction of the large merchant ship.

Watching his slender back jump from the boat to the rope ladder, stepping on the pedal a few steps to board the big boat, the frowning brows gradually stretched, and said loudly: "Pay attention to safety, come back early!" ”

Ji Zeyu on the side of the boat didn't know if he heard it, but just waved his hand at him.

The boatmen shouted their trumpets, the merchant ships hoisted their sails, and the wind sent them away, heading out into a sea of morning light.

Qin Yining led the white horse and stood beside Xiao Xiao, watching the sailboat get farther and farther away, until it turned into a little black spot on the sea level, and then looked at each other.

Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "Let's go, Jingang hasn't been here for a long time, I'll take you to play for two days and then go back." ”

Qin Yining raised his eyebrows, and his big eyes were full of banter: "Play with me, aren't you afraid that another official will impeach you for not doing government affairs?" ”

"Let them go. It's not too late to think about this when I really delay the government. With a domineering hand, he hugged Qin Yining and walked in the direction of Jingang City.

The tiger behind him hurriedly followed with a few elite tiger guards with a smile and a grin.

A summer breeze with the smell of the sea swept across his face, brushing the broken hair on Qin Yining's sideburns, brushing the handsome face of the smiling owl, and brushing the grass behind them that left faint footprints, making a pleasant rustling sound.

The morning sun has risen.

It's a brand new day.
