Chapter 23: Forgiveness

Chu Jian and the others have been detained in the prison for five days. Xie Qi waited for Xie Lingrong's good news at home, but to no avail. When he was about to go to Xie Lingrong again, he also learned the news of Wei Xin's return to the imperial capital. Xie Qi felt a lot more relieved, he still knew the relationship between Wei Xin and Chu Qian.

Five days later, Wei Xin returned to the imperial capital.

Black war horse, black robe, Wei Xin's prestige has not diminished at all.

As soon as he entered the imperial capital, he did not stop for half a moment, first went to the imperial tomb, and then went to the imperial palace.

Wei Xin was allowed to ride a horse directly into the palace, and when he arrived at the palace, he didn't need to be passed on, he could go in directly to face the saint. It can be seen how much Jiang Che trusts him.

"Weichen knocks on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." Wei Xin turned over and dismounted, took off his black robe, dressed in a dark brocade robe, and strode into the palace.

"General Wei, please get up." Jiang Che personally stepped forward to help him up.

"Your Majesty."

Wei Xin was given a seat, and tea was given. Jiang Che asked, "Is everything okay at the border now?" General Wei's journey has been really hard. ”

"The emperor is serious, these are things that are within the responsibility of the ministers." Wei Xin then told Jiang Che about the border in detail.

Jiang Che listened, nodded and said, "General Wei will protect the peace of my Jin Kingdom, I am really relieved." Now that we're done, I'm going to talk to you about some personal matters. ”

Wei Xin arched his hand, "Please ask the emperor to give advice." ”

Jiang Che waved his hand and said, "Since it is a private matter, the general does not have to be so restrained." At this time, I am just a junior talking to an elder. ”

"Yes!"

Jiang Che asked, "Isn't it because of Prince Yu that the general came back this time?" ”

Wei Xin shook his head calmly, "It's not all. But the two sons of Prince Yu got married, and Weichen should come back to congratulate him. ”

Jiang Che replied, "I still know about the friendship between Prince Yu and the general. It's only natural that you want to come back and congratulate you. ”

"But ......," Wei Xin paused for a moment and said, "The reason why Weichen came back in such a hurry is because he is ashamed of the eldest princess. At that time, knowing the news of the eldest princess, Weichen should have come back immediately. Helplessly, the war made Weichen unable to leave, so he could only come back at this time. ”

Jiang Che's expression darkened, and he said, "The general has a heart, I don't think my aunt will blame the general." Presumably, the general army had already gone to see his aunt before entering the palace, right? ”

Wei Xin nodded, but didn't say much. This iron-blooded man has never liked to expose his feelings, and his face has been carved by wind and frost, which makes him even more resolute.

But no one expected that not long ago, he stood in front of the princess's tomb and almost wept. In my mind, I will unconsciously have the scene of him fighting side by side with the emperor, Jiang Huan, Chu Jian and others. Jiang Huan's hearty smile and free and easy temperament have always made him like it very much. And her bravery on the battlefield is not lost to any man, and she is a woman that Wei Xin admires the most. Although the eldest princess he admired seemed to have become a different person due to many changes, he always believed that what flowed in her blood never changed. Maybe one day, that heroic spirit will be shown again. Who knows, she actually died like this, without warning.

Two men, one sitting on the throne and the other holding the power of the army, but because of the same woman, there was silence for a long time in this hall.

"Your Majesty, General, the tea is cold." Guan Lisheng reminded in a low voice.

Jiang Che and Wei Xin came back to their senses at this time, and Jiang Che beckoned, "General Wei drinks tea." ”

"Your Majesty."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Jiang Che meant to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Wei Xin, but Wei Xin politely refused. Wei Xin got up, as if he was about to leave, and suddenly said to Jiang Che again, "Weichen still has something to say to the emperor." ”

Jiang Che rolled up his sleeves, and already knew what Wei Xin was talking about, but he still said, "General Wei said it's okay." ”

Wei Xin said, "On the way back, Wei Chen learned that King Yu was sent to the prison, although Wei Chen is not very clear about the whole thing, but Wei Chen believes in the person of King Yu, and I think there is some misunderstanding here." ”

Jiang Che said, "General Wei is going to intercede for Prince Yu?" Do you know that I know that he is Prime Minister Xie's in-laws, but I didn't give the prime minister half of his face. ”

Wei Xin lowered his head slightly and said, "Weichen doesn't care what his relationship with the prime minister is, Weichen believes that he is the person of Prince Yu." ”

Wei Xin has always been upright, straightforward, and doesn't say anything flattering, and what he said to Jiang Che at this time is also the truth from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Che smiled loudly and said, "In the whole world, I am afraid that you are the only one who pleads for such intercession." Jiang Che continued, "Actually, I don't know that King Yu was wronged. He was someone my aunt trusted, and I trusted him too. He didn't have the courage to openly rebel against me. ”

Wei Xin was slightly stunned, it turned out that the emperor had known for a long time, but he still pretended not to know. This young emperor, who has only been seen for half a year, seems to have grown up very quickly, making it difficult for him to guess.

Wei Xin said, "That's Weichen's mouth, it turns out that the emperor has already made a holy judgment." ”

Jiang Che shook his head and said, "No, General Wei, you didn't talk much. Instead, I'm just waiting for you to come back, waiting for you to say these things. Since it was General Wei's request, I would naturally release him. Guan Lisheng ......"

"The minions are here!"

"Let the prison release the people."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wei Xin didn't speculate too much about Jiang Che's intentions, but just thanked him, "Weichen Xie Emperor." The minister retired. ”

"Good!"

As soon as Wei Xin walked out, he saw that Xie Qi was already outside the hall. Seeing Wei Xin, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "General Wei is back, and the old man knew that he should go outside the city gate to greet him." ”

Wei Xin arched his hand, "Prime Minister Xie doesn't have to be polite. ”

As he spoke, he had already walked to his horse, and Xie Qi hurriedly chased after him and said, "The old man just saw that Gonggong Guan had already gone to the prison to release people, I'm afraid it's the credit of General Wei, right?" In this way, General Wei might as well go to the house for a light meal, and the old man called Prince Yu to thank him, first, to thank General Wei, and second, to catch the wind for General Wei. ”

"No need!" Wei Xin didn't say much, turned over directly on the horse, and said to Xie Qi, "Take a step first, Prime Minister!" Immediately, he rode away directly.

Wei Xin walked out of the gate of the palace, but saw that there was already a carriage next to him.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Jiang Huai came down from it.

Wei Xin rode on his horse and arched his hand, "I've seen the prince." ”

Jiang Huai got out of the carriage, put his hand behind him, and looked up at Wei Xin slightly, "General Wei hasn't seen him for many days, how are you doing lately?" ”

Wei Xin pulled the reins and said, "In the end, everything will be fine, and the prince will be worried." ”

"Xiao Wang has always admired the general's demeanor, and he specially waited here, wanting to invite the general to go to Xingchun Tower, Xiao Wang has already ordered a table of good wine and food there to wash the dust for the general."

"Thanks to the prince's love, but the last general still has important things to do, forgive me for my companionship, and please forgive the prince." Wei Xin said, he wanted to ride his horse away, but he heard Jiang Huai say, "Isn't the general still thinking about what happened back then?" ”

Back then?

Wei Xin thought about it for a while, and thought that Jiang Huai must be referring to the fact that the first emperor had just died and Jiang Che had succeeded to the throne. At that time, Jiang Huai was already forcing the palace, but the eldest princess had no choice but to turn the tide and lead Jiang Che to the throne. Come to think of it, that was also the only time since that incident that Jiang Wan still showed her demeanor. It's been many years.

Wei Xin said, "The events of the year will be remembered by the general, but they have never been cared about. Maybe this scheming person is not necessarily a prince. ”

Jiang Huai was about to say something, when he saw Chu Jian and the others walking towards this side. Wei Xin hurriedly turned over and dismounted and arrived in front of Chu Qian.

Chu Jian has always had old injuries, and after staying in a dark and damp place like the Heavenly Prison for a few days, the old injuries recurred, his face was pale, and he looked very weak. Chu Nian and Xie Yubing were on his side.

Jiang Wan followed behind, and she had already seen Wei Xin from a distance. Later, she met Wei Xin several times one after another, but most of the time, she deliberately avoided meeting him head-on. After all, they lived and died together, and she didn't want to be watched by him like that later.

"Thank you, General Wei, this time." Chu Jian pulled out his arm and thanked Wei Xin. Helplessly, his body was weak, and he was a little unstable. Wei Xin hurriedly held him up and said, "Why do you and I have to say thank you? This time you are in prison, you are also suffering, hurry back to your house and rest. ”

"Good. A few of you, I've met General Wei. Chu Jian said, Xie Yubing hurriedly saluted Wei Xin, "Yu Bing has seen General Wei. It turns out that you are General Wei, Yu Bing heard his father mention you at home, saying how wise and martial you are, and when I saw you today, what I said was true. ”

"Prizes! But Xie Qi even kept mentioning me. ”

Xie Yubing was slightly stunned, not knowing what to say.

"General Wei, let's let the little nephew come." Chu Nian said respectfully to Wei Xin, and then held Chu Jian again.

"It's fine." Wei Xin looked left and right and said, "Is there anyone from the palace to pick it up?" ”

Chu Nian said, "The emperor suddenly forgave me, I'm afraid my mother doesn't know yet." ”

"It's better to take Xiao Wang's carriage back." Jiang Huai walked over and said, "King Yu doesn't look very good, so I still take the king's carriage back, and quickly find a doctor to see." ”

Chu Nian was worried about Chu Qian's body, and felt that it was still safe, so he nodded and said, "Then thank you Lord Wang." ”

So Xie Yubing helped Chu Jian into the carriage, and Jiang Huan was a female dependent, so she was also arranged to get into the carriage. When Jiang Wan went up, Jiang Huai took the initiative to help her, and his eyes stayed on her for a moment.

Stinky boy, you are observing your sister, how can your sister be so seen through by you?

The corners of Jiang Huan's mouth pursed into a vague smile, but her eyes were still so blank, and Jiang Huai helped her into the carriage.

"Oh, you sit out of the way, you're squeezing your father." As soon as she went up, Jiang Wan was pushed by Xie Yubing's hand.

"Okay, your sister-in-law doesn't understand anything, it's okay for her father." Chu Jian said, when he looked at Jiang Huan, he would always think of Chu Yu, and he felt that he was just a poor child.

"Big brother, you can go up too." Thinking about it, it was okay to walk back by himself, but it was better for Chu Yu to get into the carriage.

Chu Yu shook his head and pulled Chu Nian's sleeve, as if he didn't want to leave him. Seeing this, Wei Xin said, "Please ask the prince to go back to the house with them, and these two sons will go with the general." ”

Jiang Huai wanted to stay, but he seemed to be a little unpopular, so he smiled and said, "In this case, then Xiao Wang will send King Yu back first." Let's see you at King Yu's Mansion. ”

Saying that, Jiang Huai also got into the carriage, and soon the horseman drove the carriage towards the palace of King Yu.

After the carriage left, Wei Xin looked at Chu Yu and said, "Although I have a lot of dealings with King Yu, you have not seen you for many years. Over the years, he has become more and more handsome. Now that you are married, you should be relieved to want to come to the prince and the deceased princess. ”

Seeing Wei Xin talking to him, Chu Yu smiled stupidly.

Chu Nian said, "General Wei ......"

Wei Xin said, "There is no one else here, just call uncle." ”

"Yes, uncle. This time, I am also grateful to my uncle for saving him, but the little nephew doesn't care, but he just wronged his father and eldest brother, as well as his sister-in-law and Yu Bing, after all, they are women, and their bodies must be weaker. ”

Wei Xin said, "Do you really think it's my own work? I won't hide it from you, but the emperor himself told me that he knew that your father was wronged. ”

"The emperor knows? Then why is he still ......" Chu Nian frowned and thought about it, and thought about the reason clearly. The emperor is just waiting for Wei Xin to come back and let Wei Xin do this favor. In this way, it is a warning to both Xie and Chu.

Isn't it, the emperor already doubts the loyalty of the Chu family?

Wei Xin said, "I won't speculate on the emperor's thoughts, but your father has finally been rescued." In the future, you should be careful. ”

"Thank you uncle for your teachings. Uncle, let's go back to the palace. Mother must want to thank you. ”

Wei Xin said, "I was also going to go to the Yuwang Mansion, and your uncle had something to say that I would have brought to you and your mother." ”

"Uncle?" Chu Nianxi said, "I thought my uncle didn't remember anything!" ”

"Haha...... You kid, do you dare to say this to your uncle's face? ”
