Chapter 345: Confrontation
Lin Zi had been waiting outside the city for a long time, Xie Ling stopped and said something to her, and Lin Zi saw him go away.
The snow on the road was trampled by the horses' hooves, leaving a muddy ground until there was no longer a human figure, and the sister Yan put down Changxiao.
Whether it is Lin Zi or Sister Yan, at this moment, they are just giving it to others.
turned around, the indifference on her face had turned to indifference, as if there was no one in the world anymore, and she could be moved again.
Looking at the King of Tomb, who was almost following him, he didn't know why he had rushed here.
"Emperor, you said that when this king leaves Beijing, a few people will come to see him off. ”
Sister Yan said, "Your Highness knows it in your heart, why bother to ask this seat." ”
King Ling smiled, "It's really perfunctory, I don't care, let's go." ”
said chic, my heart is still sour, I was separated from that person like this, I didn't even cherish it, and the chance of seeing each other in the future was very small.
Since then, Xie Ling, you have risen to the top, and this king is in a corner of peace, and there is no intersection.
Sister Yan returned to the Emperor's Mansion and continued to complete her unfinished official duties.
He Zhou ran to Xie Yun's mansion without anything, Xie Yu wanted to go to Suyue with the Bai family, He Zhou was inexplicably a little reluctant in his heart, even when his good brother Tian Shen left, he didn't have such a strong reluctance.
As a Jianghu person, he has long regarded parting lightly, but he is worried about her, and he doesn't want to leave her for a moment before she leaves.
Xie Yu felt very strange, this person didn't run around on weekdays, and he couldn't be idle, "What's wrong with you today?"
"What's wrong?"
Xie Yu thought of Twilight Shaoxia leaving the capital today, "Are you reluctant to let Twilight Shaoxia go, too, so that no one will drink with you." ”
He Zhou wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason to answer her previous question, so he deliberately diverted the topic and said, "Aren't there still idlers in Beijing, Nan Qi is in the mansion all day long, I can find him to drink, and it doesn't have to be Brother Duan." ”
Xie Yu didn't demolish him either, "Let's go back to Suyue, it's very close to your hometown of Yuezhou, did you ask us to bring something back?"
"I don't have any relatives, so I don't have anything to bring, but I can't go back this year, if you can, you can send someone to Hejia Village on the edge of Yuezhou, burn some paper money for my grandfather and parents, and help me make it clear." ”
Xie Yu was sad when he heard the words, he had no relatives, and the closest person was only a lonely grave, and he obviously invited him to Suyue to celebrate the New Year together, but the situation in his heart changed.
If he is gone, how lonely his aunt and father will be, when they are struggling.
He Zhou asked, "Why are you in a daze?
"No, no, or you should go to Suyue with me, and then you can go to make incense to your grandfather by yourself." ”
"What kind of stupid thing to say, although I can't help a lot, but I am one of the people your aunt can trust, if I leave her because of selfishness, I can't get over it in my own heart, what she wants to do is for the country and the people, I have to support her, grandpa will understand. ”
"But—"
"It's nothing, you invited me and Brother Dusk before, I'm not afraid, you let me go alone, I can't handle it, I still won't go. ”
"Alright then, don't worry, I'll definitely send someone. ”
"It's a long way back to Suyue, and you haven't been there, so you must be careful. ”
Xie Yu gently patted the 'Thousand Locks' on his waist, "Don't worry, I have improved a lot now, and I can protect my mother and younger brother." ”
He Zhou smiled, "Are you busy now, or let's learn from each other." ”
"Well, you have to be careful. ”
Although Xie Yu is not bad, her talent is not as good as that of her sister, and she is only fourteen years old and lacks experience.
Hezhou's talent is not inferior to his sister's face, and he has suffered a little loss from his life experience, but he has honed since he was a child, allowing him to find his own way, plus the recent correction and teaching of the deceased of his parents, and his progress cannot be underestimated.
The two fought, and naturally Hezhou had the upper hand.
But competing with her, He Zhou did not beat people down like in the ring, but deliberately slowed down the pace, guided Xie Yu, and fed her.
After a hundred moves, Xie Yu's heart was pounding, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Don't be anxious, you're already very good, after all, your weapon has never been used, and you still need to explore, as long as you fully master it, your strength will definitely increase greatly. ”
Xie Yu said, "One day I will surpass you." ”
"Well, I'll protect you until you overtake me. ”
Xie Yu blurted out, "Then what, you don't want to protect me?"
"After that, didn't you protect me?"
"Hmph, then you'll have to line up. ”
He Zhou smiled, and said inexplicably.
After sending away Uncle Bai's Hua and his party, the Xie family really only had Sister Yan and Xie Yun left, and there was also a Hezhou, which was not looked down upon.
The people who were waiting to see the sister's joke were disappointed.
thought that she was a woman, even if she was stronger than ordinary women, she couldn't support the entire court by herself, but she did it.
Sister Yan was busy day and night until late at night, and the letters and materials from all over the place needed her to look at them after they had been sorted out.
Xie Ling and his party walked farther and farther, and the news came back more and more slowly.
Because His Majesty ignores the government and does not have a prince, everything is pressed on Sister Yan, and the pressure on Sister Yan is not small.
Even so, she didn't complain, and gradually, the doubts in Jingzhong disappeared, and she even began to praise the emperor for his conscientiousness and perfect handling of affairs.
In this way, in the darkness of the busy road, I received an order summoned by His Majesty.
Looking at the sister standing in front of him, the emperor thought that he was wrong, according to other people's descriptions, she should be very busy, but looking at her appearance, it is clear that she is very calm.
Even so, I have to say a few polite words, there are more and more people who support the emperor recently, and there are many more than Feng Yu is still in business.
It's not that she's incapable, but because she's a woman, a woman who has just come into contact with government politics, everyone is against it, but she shows extraordinary ability, and after convincing people, these people will support her more resolutely.
"Sister, I've worked hard for you lately, I'm not in good health, and it's all up to you to support me. ”
My sister's face was indifferent, as if she was not close to people, but she said in her heart, it is obvious that you deliberately want to suppress the prestige of the emperor, but it backfired, so you are in a hurry.
"Your Majesty's health is important, and my sister can still handle these things. ”
"I called you here to tell you about the establishment of the reserve. ”
"Your Majesty has thought about it, this matter is indeed urgent. ”
The Emperor tried to keep his somewhat blurry eyes open, trying to see what she really thought, to see if she really wanted to take power, but he couldn't see anything, and lately she seemed to have become cold and heartless.
"I plan to make King Jun the crown prince, he is not a descendant, there will definitely be a lot of opposition at that time, I hope you can help him. ”
Sister Yan raised her eyes and said, "Since Your Majesty wants to make him the crown prince, you believe in King Jun's ability, why do you need Sister Yan to show favoritism, Sister Yan also believes that he can convince everyone." ”
actually refused, isn't King Jun a person supported by Xie Ling? Is he unwilling to show favoritism, or does he want the prince to get the support of the family and achieve her goal of dictatorship?
"The state of Chu needs stability now, even if King Jun is outstanding, it will take time to appease people's hearts. ”
"His Royal Highness King Jun still has at least two months to go, and in my sister's opinion, it is enough. Your Majesty should make a holy decree as soon as possible, otherwise there will be less and less time left for the crown prince. ”
When she said the central matter, the emperor was a little annoyed, but he couldn't attack, "I deliberately announced it in the early court and didn't give them a chance to object, what do you say?"
"Everyone has been prepared in their hearts, and it should not cause a big contradiction, but it is just a small conflict of interests, and this move can be done. ”
"King Ling is dedicated to the state of Chu, but he can only leave Beijing gloomily, I don't want to stimulate him, and after he leaves, I will personally announce this matter in the early court. ”
"Your Majesty is kind-hearted. ”
The emperor saw that she was too lazy to take care of herself, and knew that she was dissatisfied with herself, "Jin Guoguo is about to move, how do you think you should deal with it." ”
"It's just that they are not willing to be behind the Shang State, they want to occupy the half of the land near the Luohe River in my Chu State, so they want to transfer troops before the Shang State moves, just to seize the opportunity, but they definitely don't dare to go too far, the King of Yunnan is experienced and can deal with it, out of topography and overall considerations, the southward road of the Chu State should start from taking the Shang State, and the Chu State still can't attack the Shang and Jin countries. ”
Emperor Chu only felt that they were crazy when he heard this, most people in the court were still thinking about how to defend against the invasion of the two countries, but they were thinking about how to take the Shang and Jin countries.
"You must remember that although you have great power, the crown prince is the future monarch of a country, and such a major matter must be approved by him. ”
"Your Majesty doesn't need to doubt us, we know better than anyone else about the duties of the emperor. ”
In the end, it was an unhappy breakup, and His Majesty proposed to establish King Jun as the crown prince, whether it was out of sincerity or temptation, such a major event, I hope he will consider it carefully, rather than use it as a bargaining chip.
On December 20, King Ling refused the emperor's retention, and left Chujing for the fiefdom the year before.
At the same time, the queen's condition worsened, and no outsiders were seen, and the harem was run by Concubine Nan and Concubine Qiong.
Yining gambled with his mother and royal brother for many days, and finally cried in the arms of the queen mother the night before they left.
This is a result that most people do not expect.
Including his sister Yan Tianshen, everyone thought that King Ling would fight to the death with other princes, and in the end he would fail in madness.
I didn't expect him to leave so early.
Qing Sakura only felt that she had not yet taken revenge, but the enemy left in discouragement, as if killing him would free him.
Sister Yan wanted him to bring about his own destruction, but he didn't succeed.
The queen followed King Ling to leave Beijing, and Sister Yan was one of the insiders, but Sister Yan understood a little about her giving up the queen's dignity and following her son.
It's just to protect his son.
It's just that whether it succeeds or not depends on how lucky she is.
