Chapter 128: The New Emperor Ascends the Throne
Song Ran raised his head in his arms, looked at him and said, "Now that the matter is over, do I have any other choice than believing in adults?" ”
Those eyes were shining brightly, as if the stars of the whole world had fallen in them.
She stretched out a hand and landed on his handsome, hard-lined face: "Even if everyone in this world turns their backs on you, I will not leave you." She put down all her reserve and confessed softly, "Shen Yun, I love you." ”
His eyes deepened for the words, and a heavy gasp fell in her ears, and his voice was hoarse and unusual: "I really don't know, you came to see me, or to torture me." ”
Knowing that he was physically inconvenient, he still picked up and said this at this time, on purpose?
She obviously didn't understand what he meant, and was a little dazed: "Why did your lord say this?" ”
He gasped for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'm a man anyway. Do you really think I'm Megumi Yanashita, can I sit still every time? ”
Only then did she understand, blushed, and said, "In my heart, my lord thinks about those messy things. ”
His lips were pressed to her ears: "What do you want, some people don't want to, can I still overlord the bow?" ”
She narrowed her eyes, was silent for a moment, and spoke: "I'm not unwilling, the thing that the adult thinks about is not an insurmountable thunder pool for me, it's just a ......" Her hand slowly tightened the clothes under her, restraining her trembling, "If I have a child because of this, but I can't marry an adult after all, will this child be born in the future, will it be like me, and be coldly looked at and criticized......" Her eyes were hidden under the long eyelashes, I don't know what I thought, I looked up at him for a while, my expression was a little broken, "My lord, Am I thinking too far?
He pulled her into his arms again and commented mercilessly: "Mediocrity disturbs itself." But he hugged her tightly and repeated again, "Don't think about it, trust me." ”
She hummed softly and closed her eyes peacefully in his arms.
The tent hung low, the candlelight was thick, and the two figures overlapped and embraced each other, and they were not separated for a long time.
Seeing the dawn, she reluctantly got up and said, "I have to go." Shaoyuan woke up and couldn't see me, so he was suspicious. ”
He saw that she looked like a thief, and narrowed his eyes in displeasure: "Why are you so sneaky, you and I are going to keep it hidden?" Leaning over, his fingers around a strand of her messy hair, Liang Liang asked her, "Is this official so unsightly, huh?" ”
Seeing the dangerous light shining in his narrow eyes, Song Ran couldn't help but swallow his saliva and explained: "Adults don't know Shaoyuan, and the word 'Demon King of the Mixed World' is not enough to describe him. I'll find a suitable opportunity to explain it to him, but for now, let's not make a fuss. ”
Shen Hanxi's expression still did not ease, and he didn't tell her that he had already seen the demon king in her mouth, and let her go with great compassion, and said, "Let's go." ”
As he spoke, he lay back on the bamboo couch, leaving only a back for her.
The sulking appearance made the corners of her lips slightly hooked: "My lord is so good to recuperate, I'll come to see you in two days." ”
She put back his messy hair and lifted her feet out of the room.
After that day, Song Ran came to see him every once in a while, but he came quietly in the middle of the night and left quietly when the rooster crowed.
His voice was cool: "I think I am also a dignified court official, and I am waiting for a little woman to come every day and spread it, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous?" ”
She was changing the dressing for him, and she couldn't help but bend her eyes when she heard this.
He looked at her, and his heart gradually became ape. The beautiful face was close at hand, and she could reach out and touch her vivid cheeks, and she was about to move, but she stopped her: "Don't move, adults." ”
She gently removed the old cloth that was wrapped in the wound, and her eyes fell on the sword wound, which was extremely deep, only half an inch away from the heart, in addition to this almost fatal wound, there were several scars scattered around his body, all of them were sword wounds, she finally couldn't help but say: "I heard Lord Xia say, the injuries on the adult's body are caused by a dumb person, and the dumb person is not an unreasonable person, why didn't the adult explain to him and let him misunderstand like this?" ”
Shen Hanxi said lazily: "He misunderstood him, what does it have to do with me?" What's more, how can a person who has been blinded by hatred listen to my explanation? If I told her that Su Long had committed suicide, he might not have believed it, so why bother with that. ”
In his careless words, there was a bit of arrogance that didn't take everything into account, and more indifference to others.
He didn't care what others thought of him.
Seeing that she wanted to speak again, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, he shouldn't die." ”
She didn't reveal her emotions, she looked focused on medicating him, and responded softly: "Hmm." ”
In this way, more than half a month passed, and finally came to the day when Emperor Daxing came out.
Song Ran crowded among the people of Ling'an, who came out of the city, and watched Emperor Daxing's halogen honor guard drive out of Donghua Gate.
In the funeral procession, in addition to the civil and military officials and the emperor's relatives, there are also a large number of monks and Taoist priests, who are dressed in legal robes, holding law enforcement instruments, and constantly playing and chanting.
The entire funeral procession was mighty and long, more than ten miles long.
In the palace city, the chamberlain removed the sacrificial feasts and curtains, burned outside the Sishan Gate, the crown prince performed the ritual ceremony, and finally removed the plain clothes on the body, sacrificed to the temple, and ascended the throne as the emperor on the second day.
When accepting the bowing of the hundred officials, the young son of heaven did not have half joy and relaxation in his eyes, although he sat on this dragon chair as he wished, but whether this country can sit firmly is still full of unknowns.
On one side is the Empress Dowager Xie - now it is time to be called the Empress Dowager, and on the other side, it is Shen Hanxi.
Whether it was the enthronement ceremony or the first time he went to court, he did not show up on the grounds of recuperating from his injuries.
The Son of Heaven knew that Shen Hanxi was forcing him to choose a position.
The Queen Mother's previous actions were not to deal with herself, but to drive a wedge between him and Shen Hanxi, but she did not get rid of the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard Division of this noble and extremely noble minister as she wished.
Although Shen Hanxi resigned from his post and was at home, he still controlled the court situation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he "covers the sky with one hand".
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the Son of Heaven retired from the inner servant and sat on the dragon chair that made the hundred officials bend their waists and the world surrendered, and a resolute look gradually appeared on the young face.
A casual male voice suddenly sounded outside the door of the hall, and I saw a man in a blue robe holding his hands, stepping over the threshold as if no one was around, and said with a smile: "Sitting in this seat, how does Your Majesty feel different?" ”
The Son of Heaven's gaze fell on the person who spoke, and called, "Commander Xie." ”
Xie Qi's expression was leisurely, and he bowed to him and said, "Weichen see Your Majesty." ”
The young man on the dragon chair said in a very light voice: "Commander Xie can be regarded as fearless now?" ”
"Wechen understands what His Majesty means." He bent his eyes, and infinite charm inadvertently flowed out of those peach blossom eyes, making people unable to take their eyes off, "If Your Majesty thinks that Weichen's previous actions were all ordered by the Empress Dowager, Weichen is really wronged." Since its inception, the Divine Governor Camp has served only the position where His Majesty is now. ”
He stood there, his expression extremely open.
The Son of Heaven chewed his words for a moment, and instead of rushing to conclusions, he leaned forward and asked him for confirmation: "Commander Xie is saying that everything before was the will of the first emperor?" ”
"Your Majesty is wise. Not only the Empress Dowager, but also the power of the Imperial Guard, which was so inflated that even the first emperor was afraid of it, since the will that Weichen got coincided with the meaning of the Empress Dowager, why didn't Weichen follow her old man first? ”
He couldn't see any emotion in the face of the Son of Heaven, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips with satisfaction, he was already moody at a young age, who else was more suitable to sit in this seat than such a person?
After a while, I heard the young man on the dragon chair ask himself: "In the future, will Commander Xie unconditionally obey my dispatch?" ”
Xie Qi looked at him for a moment, lifted his robe, knelt on one knee, and saluted him for the first time: "It is the duty of a minister to serve His Majesty. ”
The Son of Heaven got up from the dragon chair and slowly walked in front of him, his young voice carrying maturity and calmness beyond this age: "In front of me, there are two paths to choose now, but I don't want to take these two paths. ”
Xie Qi raised his eyes: "Weichen understands His Majesty's concerns, His Majesty is not willing to be like the first emperor, to control the ministers with the court guard, and he is not willing to be at the mercy of the Empress Dowager like Emperor Yongrui." ”
The Son of Heaven was in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at him, and said: "When the Imperial Guard Division was first established, it slaughtered thousands of officials with different intentions, and this practice of using torture to deter hundreds of officials, although it stabilized the imperial power in a very short time, it was not what I wanted. As for my father...... "Speaking of Emperor Yongrui, there was a slight glimmer of cold light in his calm eyes, "I don't dare to forget for a moment how his old man died." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pick Xie Qi up, held his forearm, and faintly exerted force: "I am destined to take the most difficult road." Commander Xie, would you like to come with me? ”
Xie Qi stared into his eyes: "Weichen is happy." ”
The Son of Heaven looked at him for a long time before letting go of his hand, recovering his indifferent expression, and said, "I heard that the young master of the Mo family is now in Ling'an, and Commander Xie thinks that the Mo family has a great chance to be used by me?" ”
Xie Qi's hand moved between his sleeves, but there was no fluctuation in his eyes, reminding him: "The head of the Mo family, but the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager. Isn't Your Majesty afraid that the Mo family will be biased because of this? ”
The Son of Heaven smiled slowly: "The Qin clan won't." It's too late for her to hate the Queen Mother. ”
Back then, she was given to the Mo family as a gift by the Empress Dowager.
With the temperament of the Qin family, it is more difficult for the Empress Dowager to win her over now than to ascend to the sky.
There was a light in the young Son of Heaven's eyes: "No matter what, I want to get this ink girl." ”
Not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, he ordered the burning of the torture instruments of the Imperial Guard, and the prisoners were transferred to the Criminal Department for trial, and at the same time ordered that the inner and outer prisons should all be tried by the Three Law Divisions.
The choice of the new emperor is almost clear - he still chooses the empress dowager.
Some people applaud this, but others think that this is not a wise move.
The Son of Heaven is so uncomposed, he is afraid that he will eat the bitter fruit in the future.
