Chapter 5 (I)

"Zuo Xiangrong is humble and domineering, dictatorial and arbitrary, reprimands and dismisses his post for investigation, thinks about it behind closed doors, and waits for the judge to discuss the crime."

At last, they made this will; Finally, they stabilized the courtiers, reassured the army, and made follow-up arrangements; Finally, they can show their strength in the face of their enemies; Finally, it's all coming to an end.

The proclamation was made by the newly appointed chief of the chamberlain, also surnamed Wang, and was called the prince of the king. When he entered the palace, because he was of the same clan as the old prince, he was quite taken care of by the old prince, and he served by Yan Rin's side. When the old prince was kicked out of the palace, he was the saddest one, and he hated Rong Qian for his blood and his bones.

Of course, it is because of this that Yan Rin can safely let him sit in the position of the chief attendant, so that he can stay by his side for so many years and serve by his side at many critical moments.

Seventeen-year-old Shi Jingyuan stood next to Yan Rin, and this year's meeting in officialdom made him mature a lot. Seeing that Rong Qian, who was originally high, was gradually despised by the officials, those dog-legged wall grasses fell with the wind, and he saw human nature more thoroughly, and the vicissitudes of life were shown on his young face.

Listening to the situation when the prince was there to report the decree, he knew that none of the hundred officials stayed in the prime minister's mansion to advance and retreat with him, and watched that the decree had been promulgated for so long, and no one entered the palace to intercede for him, and saw that all the officials who received the decree acted with respect, and none of them neglected to resist the decree. Shi Jingyuan's heart didn't have much joy.

The man who is calm and calm is going to die, the arrogant man is going to die, the man with a surprisingly warm smile is going to die, the man with ill intentions is going to die, the man with a legendary history is going to die, the man who stands in their way is going to die. Starting tomorrow, Yan Rin will hold the highest authority of Yan State, and he Shi Jingyuan, as the emperor's confidant and friend, as the emperor's confidant and minister, has the merit of rejecting the prime minister, and will officially enter the political stage of Yan State, show his talent in front of the whole world, and start his own career.

A long-cherished wish was about to come true, but he was not happy at all. He didn't understand where his feelings came from, but he quickly helped himself find a reason.

Rong Qian is a very popular minister, and he is guilty of a big crime, and he is imprisoned and convicted, so he can only deal with him alone, and even the servants of the Rong Mansion can't even be connected if they want to. This is really unbelievable, it seems that Rong Qian has known about today's situation for a long time and has been preparing for a long time.

I felt a faint touch in my heart, as if I understood something, this feeling flashed, and I wanted to grasp it but couldn't understand anything. Forget it, even if he has other plans, as long as he is really dead, then everything will naturally end.

So Shi Jingyuan opened his mouth and suggested: "In case of unforeseen chaos in the future, it is best to ......" a false split, which advanced the death date of that person.

But Shi Jingyuan never thought that Rong Qian would say something like "I have the courage to die, but I don't have the patience to go to prison", he can't wait to die? At this stage of development, the forces of all parties have not made the slightest movement, and the situation is under their control. If Rong Qian still has a back-up move, he is the first to disbelieve it. But what is Rong Qian's reaction, is he really bent on death?

My heart was touched again, and a feeling of uneasiness came out. Shi Jingyuan felt ridiculous, even if he had any tricks there, they were also prepared here, and if they took 10,000 steps back, they could be invincible. What else would make him uneasy......

Shi Jingyuan lost his mind for a while, but he didn't want Yan Rin to be angry when he heard this: "Since he wants to die so much, I will fulfill him." However, this method of death is up to me to decide......"

"Your Majesty!" Knowing that Yan Rin actually wanted Ling Chi Rongqian, Shi Jingyuan was shocked.

He knew Yan Rin's almost paranoid attachment to Rong Qian, and knew Yan Rin's anger and resentment for so many years, but he didn't expect that this resentment would make him completely lose his mind.

"Your Majesty, Ling Chi must not be done. The emperor is not in charge now, and the first thing he did in the matter of ruling was to execute the important ministers of the three dynasties with such a cruel punishment, which will definitely leave a harsh name. It will also make those courtiers who have already taken refuge in them vigilant. Will be ......"

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind and will not change!" The young king's eyes were full of anger and coldness, the collision of ice and fire raged in Yan Rin's body, and even his surroundings were unstable, "Jingyuan, others don't understand, don't you understand either?" ”

Shi Jingyuan knew that Yan Rin at this time did not have the slightest reason to speak of, but he still couldn't help but admonish: "Your Majesty, the minister understands. But Ling Chi really couldn't help it.

Rong Qian is still so calm now, in case there is any aftermath...... Ling Chi was to be executed for 10 days......

Your Majesty, at least the execution should be carried out immediately. Your Majesty, the minister knows that your anger is unquenchable, and the minister doesn't think that he should keep his whole body. However, there is an urgent need to cut through the mess quickly, and to vent anger, the market can also be beheaded...... Even if it is cut in half...... Five horses split the corpse...... It's more appropriate than Ling Chi......" This is already extremely explicit, and it is also extremely out of bounds, if it weren't for the fact that there are no outsiders now, and he is the emperor's confidant and friend, this is definitely possible to wipe out the family.

This kind of words, even if Shi Jingyuan and Yan Rin have been planning together for so many years, it is the first time to say that he has plucked up great courage and made a lot of determination to say it, just to dispel Yan Rin's thoughts about Ling Chi Rongqian.

However, he underestimated the anger that Rong Qian brought to Yan Rin, and also overestimated Yan Rin's self-control when facing Rong Qian.

"Nope! I've made up my mind! So many years, so many years...... I, I won't let him die a happy death! Yan Rin's originally handsome face was already distorted, and he clenched his hands into fists and knocked down the desk, "Shi Jingyuan, the prince of the King of Beijing, listens to the order!" Shi Jingyuan, the son of King Jing of Zhuo Bei, passed the decree to the minister Rong Qian, bullied the lord, and had no remorse, insulted the king, was lawless, and the crime was unforgivable, and he was executed at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow! ”

Final word.

———————————————————————————————————————

"Lord Song, the emperor once explained that Rong Qian's martial arts are strong, and he needs to take more precautions and guard carefully. But why is he so relaxed now? It seems that Lord Song is very nostalgic for the old love. As soon as he walked into the cell, what Shi Jingyuan saw was Rong Qian walking around in the cell with nothing to do, and he couldn't help but say something to test Song Chengfeng, the waiter of the criminal department who came with him.

"Shizi, this is a great wrong. The lower official specially instructed the guards of the prison, and now the number of guards in the prison is three times that of the past. And you see, what the thief is carrying, it is a two-hundred-pound flail, and it is all locked to the pillar...... This is already the heaviest flail in the country, no matter how heavy the torture instrument is, our criminal department will not have ......" Song Chengfeng nodded and sighed, wiping his sweat and constantly explaining.

Shi Jingyuan looked upset, shook his hand, and asked him to retreat. originally thought that this was still a caring and righteous person who cared about the old feelings and quietly took care of the old master, but he didn't expect that he was completely unprincipled. Shi Jingyuan was disdainful.

Suddenly, he frowned again, it seemed that since they convicted Rong Qian, he had been waiting for people to intercede for Rong Qian, what was wrong with him? Are you so afraid of his next move?

Shi Jingyuan smiled a little helplessly, for so many years, he has been used to guarding against Rong Qian, why is he so unconfident now? Rong Qian is strong in martial arts but has no resistance to be captured, even if these are all the foreshadowing of his ambush, so what, they are no longer the children who did not have the staff of military power before, and now they have enough strength to face any changes.

Shi Jingyuan solemnly issued the decree, watching Rong Qian kneeling neatly and saluting, without tiredness, the doubts in his heart deepened, it was really strange that he took the initiative to be arrested and imprisoned without the slightest resistance......

"Ling Chi was executed? No way? Rong Qian, who received the order, stood up and faced Shi Jingyuan who came to issue the decree in amazement.

For so many years, they had wanted to break his appearance of calm and composure, and today, they finally did it. But looking at his rare and vivid expression, Shi Jingyuan not only couldn't laugh, but was a little depressed in his heart. For such a big thing, I didn't have to be afraid of being frightened, just shocked, by the way, my dissatisfaction must have come from here. Moreover, for such a major event, he only had shock, which was too abnormal......

Looking at the slight confusion on Rong Qian's face, listening to his inquiry, Shi Jingyuan felt irritable. The so-called abnormality is a demon, Rong Qian's reaction now is completely abnormal, what is going on?

"The prince, you and the emperor are with you day and night, and you can't be more clear about the emperor's affairs. Do you know what the emperor's decision is profound? It is still the same voice as it was back then, without the loneliness of officialdom frustration, or even the fatigue of prison.

In a trance, I remembered that back then, in the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he also said in such a soft tone, "The prince and the emperor are accompanied day and night, and you can't know the emperor's affairs...... but why, now it sounds like two completely different feelings from the beginning.

Yes, today's voice does not have a trace of hypocrisy, it is completely sincere, relaxed and happy, while the previous one contains too many calculations and baggage, wrapped in layers of meaning, and it is impossible to distinguish its authenticity.

Yes, Rong Qian seems to really accept the reality that the phase was dismissed and was about to be executed. There is no aftermath, no calculation, just simply accept reality. However, Rong Qian, you actually accepted the reality so easily, and abandoned those glory and wealth so easily, so why did you give up the things you should really cherish for those things in the first place, and why did you want to let go of everything at this moment?

Shi Jingyuan felt a little angry. He didn't know why he was always restless today, and he didn't understand why he seemed to show the slightest concern for this traitor, but he was at least somewhat sensible: if he faced the criminal minister with this attitude, then he would be too ungraceful, so he replied calmly: "The holy will of heaven is something that can be measured by our courtiers." ”

He maintained his indifferent face, but he couldn't help but want to question in his heart:

Why couldn't you be nicer to the emperor in the first place? You are so breezy now, why couldn't you have let go of your power earlier?

Since you can still maintain this kind of arrogant and free and easy calmness now, why did you wanton extravagance in the first place, snub your confidants and courtiers, and be close to villains?

You have planted all the fruits you have planted now, how can you not know, you can not know so much!

Shi Jingyuan didn't understand why he was so unwilling in his heart, and this unwillingness seemed to be for the sake of Rong Qian. I'm actually complaining about him? That's really ...... That's ridiculous......

But before he could sort out his train of thought, more ridiculous words came out of Rong Qian's mouth, watching him casually and indifferently talk about how to execute himself in various vicious ways, listening to him indifferently discuss how to whip the corpse and cut it into pieces after he died...... That's his own body, his own life! Could it be that he can really put life and death out of the way, is there nothing in this earthly world that is worth his nostalgia for?

"That's it, the emperor has also grown up, he has his own considerations, his decisions, I am like this, and I still care about everything and pointing fingers, which is really ridiculous......" smiled with loss.

For so many years, whether it was Rong Qian, who was gentle and calm at the beginning, or Rong Qian, who was arrogant and conceited later, he has always been so confident and strong, and his smile will never bring frustration and loneliness. But now he is lost?

Shi Jingyuan was a little incredulous, his heart was touched fiercely, the angry and ridiculous feelings receded a little, and what gradually came out was a trace of sour and complicated.

Rong Qian, it turns out that there are still things you care about in this world, and there are people you care about?

So you really lived in this world?

It turns out that you still put the emperor in your heart, even now, you still care about the emperor?!

Shi Jingyuan didn't know how to answer, but he didn't think that Rong Qian would do anything and then rebelled. It is said that when a person is about to die, his words are also good, and at the moment of death, even if Rong Qian has great powers, he cannot change his fate. And he is now so free and real, without concealment, Shi Jingyuan can really feel his concern for the emperor.

Shi Jingyuan's heart turned upside down, he opened his mouth to ask: Since you care about the emperor so much, since you still remember the emperor in your heart at the moment before you die, then why didn't you say it before?

Why was it that so many years ago, we tried so hard to get your attention, but you looked dismissive?

Why has it been so long, and only now have you let me know that you have a heart and that you care about the emperor?

Rong Qian, Rong Xiang, why......

But he couldn't say a word, these things couldn't be said, and they weren't what he should say, and they weren't what he was allowed to say at this moment. Therefore, when he heard Rong Qian ask him, "What else does the prince have to command", he could only answer "no" sullenly.

Shi Jingyuan turned around and walked back like sleepwalking, and now his brain was in chaos.

He felt that he was making a fool, what was the truth about such a person who was about to become a thing of the past?

Whether he let it go or not, in short, where are the things he has done and the mistakes he has made. Can today's changes correct the mistakes of the beginning?

In that case, what does he have to shake now?

Although now that this moment came, Rong Qian's attitude made him puzzled, and he suddenly found that he didn't understand anything, didn't understand anything, and the problem had not been solved by anything. But he couldn't ask, and he couldn't ask.

Perhaps, he should and can only live with this kind of helpless and unwilling doubts. Shi Jingyuan thought helplessly.

"Shi Shizi." Hearing Rong Qian's sudden opening, Shi Jingyuan immediately turned around and looked at him, looking at the source that caused him to be confused, and he didn't know what else he would say.

I saw Rong Qian smile slightly: "It's a little incredible to say this, but I really mean it, Shi Shizi, Your Majesty, please leave it to you." ”

Suddenly, Shi Jingyuan was like being struck by lightning. Yes, it's this smile. So many years ago, when he was a child, he was so gentle with a smile, warm eyes, deep and deep eyes, reflecting the stars in the sky, rippling with ponds and lakes, containing all his care and warmth......

Shi Jingyuan's mind was full of thunder: Your Majesty, do you know that Rong Qian, who you have missed for so long, has returned; Do you know that Rong Qian, whom we have been looking for for so long, has returned; Did you know that just as he was about to leave, he returned......

Shi Jingyuan's dissipated anger rose again with resentment:

Rong Qian, why did you come back at this moment. Do you know that the emperor is always hoping that you will change back to the graceful and noble Rong Qian you used to be?

Do you know that even when you are preparing to retire, the emperor is waiting for you to come back? Do you know how long your smile has made the emperor miss and how long has the emperor waited?

But why did you come back until this moment, when you had completely lost everything, when you and the emperor could no longer face each other honestly, when there was absolutely no room for redemption?

Shi Jingyuan thinks it's ridiculous, is Rong Qian also a snob? Could it be that he also saw that he had no hope, so he gave up everything and tried to return to the unscrupulous people of the past?

No, no, Shi Jingyuan overturned his own ideas. If it was that kind of villain, it would be impossible to abandon those who were glorious and rich so easily, it would not be possible to be so restrained without resistance, and it would not be so easy to smile when it was frustrated.

Shi Jingyuan believed in his feelings, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with this feeling. Rong Qian's calmness is true, it emanates from the heart, and the free and easy is from the bottom of his heart.

So, what is this all about? Everything now seems to be what he is pursuing, and his reaction now, it seems that he has known that there will be such a day, as if he has been waiting for such a day for a long time.

Could it be that everything was his plan?

No, it can't be, who would plan to send themselves to their deaths?

No! Wrong!

If it was the previous Rong Qian, the former Rong Qian, who was dedicated to Yan Rin and only had Da Yan, for the sake of the country and the emperor, he sent himself to death, it would be normal.

Shi Jingyuan was frightened by his own reasoning, Rong Qian has never changed? This thought confuses him, so much so that what happened after that, Shi Jingyuan has no idea at all. His mind was filled with such thoughts, shocked, shocked, and overwhelmed. He returned to the carriage in a daze, and prepared to return to the palace in the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, with the slight shaking of the carriage, Shi Jingyuan gradually began to sort out his thoughts. He rejected that inference. What Rong Qian has done for so many years is completely in his eyes and in his heart. That was definitely the behavior of a loyal minister, and he almost dragged the entire Great Yan down! After so many years, he and Yan Rin can have their current achievements completely because of their own efforts. Rong Qian didn't give them any help, what he had always played was a stumbling block.

Finally settled down, and Shi Jingyuan was a little relieved. But once the idea comes to mind, it's no longer easy to get rid of it. In the end, Shi Jingyuan, who was upset by his reasoning, made up his mind and prepared to go back to the palace to persuade Yan Rin again. If it is feasible, leave Rongqian with his life, and then say that after the matter is clear, if not, at least I hope that his death is not so painful, and I hope that he can die with peace of mind......

——————————————————— note: The article mentions that Xiao Rong is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, but Xiao Rong was only 22 years old when he received Tuo Gu (although in the first chapter of Xiao Rong said that he was 25 years old and became a minister of Tuo Gu, but Xiao Rong was 21 years older than the little leopard, and the little leopard was still a baby when he was sent to him, so he even defaulted to 22 years old when he took the time of Tuo Gu), so I probably will be puzzled, and I think how it is also an important minister of the two dynasties. So here I would like to give you my opinion.

First of all, the original text did not say which emperor Xiaorong was when he entered the court at the age of 14, but it also said that the country was very unstable. So why the instability?

When the first emperor died, Yan Rin was still a baby, and in terms of the age of ancient men getting married and having children, the first emperor should have been very young when he died, and he was estimated to be the emperor for a few years. In other words, I think that the instability is probably caused by the seizure of the heir.

There may be a saying that Yan Rin's father had a son in old age, and he encountered a rebellion from the royal prince on the way, so Xiao Rong was trusted. But there is a problem with this statement, that is, for the courtiers of the feudal dynasty, the royal orthodoxy is very important. If Yan Rin's father was already the emperor at that time, there would be many courtiers who supported him, and Xiao Rong was among them, I am afraid that he would not be able to gain too much trust. After all, the court is a place that pays attention to seniority.

Similarly, if it weren't for Xiao Rong's meritorious service when he won the heir, I couldn't believe that he could rise so quickly at such a young age. There must be a reason why the first emperor relied on him, and the main thing was because of his loyalty, and then his ability. In this way, MS is only the most likely to win the heir

Therefore, when Xiao Rong first became an official, it was likely that the father (or brother) of the first emperor became the emperor (even 8 excluded Yan Rin's father was difficult to climb up, in fact, this is the most reasonable statement that can make Xiao Rong get trusted. But it always feels like it's a bit ...... Despicable, as if he was overthrowing the regime specifically for the sake of the topic, so he even pretended not to think of this situation). Therefore, Xiao Rong is the elder of the 3rd dynasty......

Chapter 5 Separation (Part II)

The bitter admonition did not succeed as expected, Shi Jingyuan did not tell Yan Rin about his inference, it was completely based on his personal feelings, there was no evidence at all, and even he didn't believe it, he wanted to stifle the inference himself, how could he tell others this inference?

He must admit that Rong Qian has that kind of personal charm that can make people unconsciously follow him when they see him. But Shi Jingyuan is not an impulsive and emotional person, and after so many years of experience, he is naturally determined. Therefore, as long as you leave Rong Qian's side, calm down, think more about things, and analyze carefully, it is easy to find your thoughts and confirm your thoughts.

For Shi Jingyuan, although he also admired and revered Rong Qian, this reverence was mostly based on hearsay and his own conjectures. So for him, in the end, Yan Guo is the most important, and Yan Rin is the first place, so even if Rong Qian has any grievances and secrets, Da Yan doesn't need Rong Qian's powerful minister if he has the emperor. So even if Rong Qian has always been a loyal minister, it is best for him to find a way to get him to hand over the scepter and return to the mountains and forests.

Although there are many doubts now, Rong Qian's death may be a little unjust and miserable, but it is not unacceptable to Shi Jingyuan.

So he made some effort and let go. He is different from Yan Rin, his resentment is not as deep as Yan Rin, and his hatred is not as strong as Yan Rin. He was just a little unwilling, disappointed, angry, and all of this was based on reason.

That's why he can face Rong Qian's constant analysis and thinking and consider the gains and losses. Since it is more appropriate for Rong Qian to die now, and he has also made efforts, he can only let it go.

Even if Rong Qian is really wronged, even if Rong Qian has never changed, Yan Rin doesn't know, Shi Jingyuan is irresponsible and even a little self-deceptive, as for himself, there is no evidence for this idea, and it will be over after being entangled and sad and guilty for a while.

So the next day, as usual, he stood beside Yan Rin, waiting for the spies who had visited the execution before to come back and report back.

Listening to the spies' return, he knew that even if Rong Qian was spurned by thousands of people, even if he was in the middle of the execution, even if the flesh and blood were splashed, he was still so calm and calm, without the slightest wail and scream, but the people watching from the side, the beheading officials, and the executioners couldn't stand it......

Shi Jingyuan couldn't help but sketch the situation on the execution ground in his mind, and those calm and gentle eyes appeared in front of him, with a hint of smile, no hatred and tyranny, no grievances and unwillingness, the sourness in Shi Jingyuan's heart that had begun to fade was born again, and at the same time, a little guilt was also diffused in his heart.

Rong Qian, I can't save you, I shouldn't save you and I can't save you. Rong Qian, perhaps, after you die, I will take out your body and bury you quietly, even if it is to express my apologies.

At this moment, Shi Jingyuan felt Yan Rin's body trembling faintly two steps in front of him, and then he saw Yan Rin's hand tightly clenched on the armrest of the seat, so hard, that the joints were faintly white. Shi Jingyuan immediately stepped forward, and saw that Yan Rin's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, although he tried his best to suppress it, but his eyes still showed a trace of emotion, anger, annoyance, and some sadness and grief that he himself might not have experienced......

After a long silence, he heard Yan Rin whisper: "Jingyuan, tonight, let's go out of the palace with me." The voice was very calm, but the slightly trembling hand exposed Yan Rin's extremely excited and shocked heart.

Shi Jingyuan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and simply answered "yes".

———————————————————————————————————————

It is not a trivial matter for the emperor to leave the palace, especially since Yan Rin is now the real ruler of the Yan Kingdom, and he has no heirs, his safety is extremely important. Therefore, I am afraid that this battle will not be small. Although the Luan Driver Honor Guard was not officially exercised, it was raining outside today, and the attendants of the umbrella were indispensable, and the personal guards had to be carried, and the shadow guards had to follow.

Originally, at such a sensitive time, it was very inappropriate for the emperor to leave the palace, but Shi Jingyuan did not stop him at all, and he didn't even have the idea of stopping it. Because, Yan Rin needs to go out for a walk, whether he goes to see that person or not, he needs to have a way to relieve the depression in his heart, and he also needs to change the environment to sort out his thoughts. The Palace, while relatively comfortable and safe, is not a good place to soothe your mind and calm your mind.

Although he didn't say where he was going, when Yan Rin's footsteps walked towards the prison, no one showed a surprised expression, in fact, the inner attendant of the umbrella consciously led the way to the prison - many things were actually tacitly known. However, when he arrived at the gate of the heavenly prison, Yan Rin stopped, stayed for a long time without taking a step, and the clever chamberlain he led secretly glanced at it several times.

After standing for nearly a stick of incense, seeing the rain gradually getting heavier, Yan Rin still didn't move. Shi Jingyuan wanted to speak, but he couldn't find a chance. At this moment, Chun Yuhua appeared, and Shi Jingyuan took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, it is too long for you to stand here, the weather is cold, and the rain is gradually getting heavier...... If you really want to see him, go to the prison to see the great rebellious criminal, and the emperor's mercy. ”

Actually, Shi Jingyuan couldn't say whether he wanted Yan Rin to go in or not.

He always felt that Yan Rin should meet with Rong Qian, have a good talk, and give Rong Qian a chance to meet Yan Rin frankly.

But I knew in my heart that I couldn't do anything when I met, and I couldn't change anything or correct anything.

And in the face of Rong Qian, Shi Jingyuan was always a little uneasy.

First, although he believed that Rong Qian was sincerely killed, and understood that after a day of execution, he would never have the ability to counterattack even if he was a fairy-like character, but his powerful and Qiwei image had long been deeply rooted in his heart, and when he really faced it, he would always worry that he would kidnap Yan Rin and escape, or even turn the tables again.

Second, although he didn't believe that Rong Qian had really never changed, if Yan Rin and Rong Qian met and had this thought, he would inevitably be annoyed and entangled for a lifetime, this was not what he wanted to see.

Therefore, although he felt a little pity emotionally, he was still greatly relieved when he heard Yan Rin seem to refute his suggestion in a childish manner.

Quietly listening to Yan Rin's life Chun Yuhua giving Rong Qian a salt water bath, Shi Jingyuan was helpless in his heart: how can such a Yan Rin have the image of a Ming Jun on weekdays, as if he was an awkward child who took cruel revenge.

Perhaps, it's better that Rong Qian is really dead, his influence on Yan Rin is too great, if he stays by Yan Rin's side all the time, not to mention his original influence in the court, it is Yan Rin, it is estimated that he will unconsciously follow him, at that time, is the surname of this country Yan or Rong.

After thinking about it, Shi Jingyuan finally completely abandoned a little weakness and hesitation in his heart, and he made up his mind that this time he must ...... Be humble to death.

Soon, Chun Yuhua came back to his life. Hearing Rong Qian's unusual reaction, Shi Jingyuan was surprised and stunned, but he could also fully understand and feel Yan Rin's anger. Therefore, when Yan Rin accepted Chun Yuhua's suggestion and decided to watch Rong Qian's punishment tomorrow, Shi Jingyuan blocked all the other words except for calling "Your Majesty" softly - sometimes, no matter how clear the rational analysis is, people, after all, are emotional animals, and they will always be driven by emotional influences.

What's more, the current Yan Rin is estimated to have no reason at all.

———————————————————————————————————————

The whole vegetable market was quiet, and all the onlookers did not exclaim, scolded, applauded, or had the excitement of watching the capital punishment, and the audience was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water. It was not because of the order, although because of the emperor's personal presence, the people were not allowed to shout rudely, but at this time, there was indeed no one to speak.

Rong Qian is being tortured, but it gives people the feeling that it is not him who is being tortured. In fact, I am afraid that those who are witnessing all this now feel that they are being tortured. Seeing the person who should have shouted mourning laughing so calmly and gently, and even having time to talk and laugh with the people around him, the fear and horror in his heart were indescribable.

Is he human? - That's probably what most of you here think.

Shi Jingyuan is also one of them. He was now sitting next to Yan Rin, even if he was so far away from the execution table, he could see the trembling knife of the executioner, it seemed that if it weren't for the emperor watching here, this executioner would definitely be the same as the two executioners yesterday.

Shi Jingyuan couldn't help but be secretly frightened, Rong Qian's influence was too great, his calmness was always influencing others all the time, stabilizing his companions, stimulating the enemy, this kind of person was too terrifying.

Just when he was secretly thinking in his heart, there was a burst of hard and heavy breathing in his ears, which was particularly harsh in this lonely time.

Turning his head to look, Yan Rin was holding his chest with one hand, his face was pale, but his eyes were staring straight at Rong Qian on the Xingxing platform, and he refused to let go for a moment.

Shi Jingyuan felt a pain in his heart, and just wanted to speak, but he heard a "clang" and then the executioner shouted frantically, "He is not a person, this person is not a person!" Finally, the executioner could not stand the suppression of fear and collapsed.

Yan Rin slowly stood up, standing alone on the prison platform, looking at Rong Qian who was tied up, silent.

But this movement, like a signal, suddenly sounded a scream, shooting dozens of sharp arrows.

Shi Jingyuan immediately roared "escort", pulled out his sword, and with a sword dance, swept away all the arrow feathers.

The timing of these people was excellent, when everyone's hearts were shocked by Rong Qian's performance, when the executioner shouted and confused everyone's minds, when Yan Rin got up, his heart was the lowest, and the position was the most conspicuous, he released that rain of arrows, and in fact, they almost succeeded.

It's just that Shi Jingyuan had already been disturbed by Rong Qian yesterday, and he was determined to get rid of the future calamities, so he didn't put all his thoughts on the execution. So, the moment they acted, he reacted immediately.

Shi Jingyuan was by Yan Rin's side, watching the Imperial Forest Army fight to the death one by one, and seeing Chun Yuhua in the distance shouting loudly, "Kill the faint king, save the prime minister", he blamed himself in his heart: General Feng is acting outside, and the responsibility of protecting Yan Rin naturally falls on him. He was sure that Rong Qian was really dead, and there was no follow-up, so he relaxed his vigilance, but he forgot that in addition to Rong Qian, there were a lot of emperors and grandsons who were staring at the highest position in the country, and there were not one or two who wanted to be yellow birds.

But now is not a good time to regret and blame himself, now, how to protect Yan Rin and protect him is the most important thing.

But Yan Rin himself didn't cooperate, and he was still there analyzing the causes and consequences of Chun Yuhua's action, and there was a rain of arrows in the air, but he didn't move at all, and he didn't avoid it, let alone go with the army, and dodge and retreated. The entire protective circle of the Royal Forest Army can only remain motionless, like a target.

Shi Jingyuan was angry, but he knew that Yan Rin looked at the current princely rebellion, and thought of Rong Qian's more than ten years in power, and the stability of Yan Kingdom, I was afraid that he was frustrated and guilty, so he had to comfort and encourage, "It is impossible for Chun Yuhua to take this opportunity to support the new monarch to become the ...... of the new dynasty."

But Yan Rin calmly but seriously said the words that he was ready to kill himself and make him surrender. This made Shi Jingyuan's shock and anger almost completely explode in the face of the pressure and tension in the face of the crisis, and he couldn't wait to step forward and scuffle, so as to wake him up and let him regain his usual strength and tenacity.

It wasn't until Yan Rin expressed his regret in a completely pathetic tone and looked at Rong Qian with painful eyes that Shi Jingyuan really reacted, it turned out that ...... Is it still Rong Qian? Does it have to be that he is dead before you can settle down and do the next thing, or that he must be dead before you can despair to the point of despair and make a final resistance?

Shi Jingyuan mixed a ridiculous sad mood, mixed with the determination he made yesterday, stretched his bow and arrows, and prepared to eliminate his last regret for Yan Rin. The moon was full when he pulled the bow, but Yan Rin pulled the bowstring.

"Your Majesty!"

Shi Jingyuan was shocked, you really still can't let it go?

You don't really want him dead, do you?

In fact, you have always remembered him in your heart, thinking of him, and you can't forget it, right?

You blame him, hate him, blame him, but in your heart, you have never broken that love, haven't you?

That's why you're so calm, you actually, you don't attach so much importance to this throne, in fact, you even think that dying with him in this rebellion is not unacceptable, isn't it?!

All thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant, a few cold lights flashed in front of my eyes, drops of blood splashed on my clothes, and the Praetorian Guards around me fell one by one. But Yan Rin was still standing so stupidly, pulling the bowstring with her hand, and her fingers were already bleeding.

"Your Majesty!" Shi Jingyuan had to shout again. No matter what you think, no matter how obsessed you are with Rong Qian, you can't just stand still. Kill or release, at least for now, a decision is needed. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to kill myself......

Finally, Yan Rin took the bow from Shi Jingyuan's hand: "If you want to kill him, I should do it myself." ”

Shi Jingyuan raised his sword again to face the killer who came forward to assassinate, while Yan Rin drew his bow and pointed it at Rong Qian, looking into the distance stupidly, and did not shoot that arrow for a long time.

Shi Jingyuan was impatient in his heart, but there was nothing else he could do, his eyes swept over Yan Rin slightly, and a sharp pain came from his left arm - the battlefield was already changing rapidly, and he himself had never had experience in fighting for the enemy's life, and the other party would naturally not let go of this opportunity with this distraction.

Shi Jingyuan snorted, endured the pain, the speed of the sword in his hand did not decrease but increased, the guard became more and more tight, the cold light was dignified, but he added a little more murderous decisiveness, and for a while the defense was an attack, forcing the few killers in front of him to be unable to move forward for the time being, but on the other side, a group of soldiers finally broke through the defense of the prison behead, and a few steel knives had already slashed towards the top of Yan Rin's head.

At this moment, an angry shout came, and for a while, the soldiers with steel knives in their hands were all as if they had been seriously injured, spitting blood, and several knives seemed to break out of thin air. Looking at it again, Yan Rin's side, I don't know when a person appeared, covered in blood, covered in scaly wounds, with only white bone scales left in his right hand, and several truncated blades in his left hand.

He was like the appearance of gods and demons, surrounded by a frenzied storm, the suffering of many days of imprisonment, and the two-day execution, but he still maintained such internal strength, rolling up countless sand and stones, except for Rong Qian who was in the center of the storm and Yan Rin beside him, everyone else was shaky and staggered.

With that majestic and proud posture, he defeated the remnants of Chun Yuhua, drank back the rebels, and was so calm and calm, with a few words, he convinced those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals, and quelled the whole rebellion.

Then, Yan Rin was calm and calm, calmed the soldiers, gathered the hearts of the army, gave both grace and might, and stroked the palms, winning the allegiance and awe of several generals.

For a while, Shi Jingyuan was dumbfounded, full of horror as he watched the mutiny end with a thunderous momentum, and after the storm, it was full of harvest.

Seeing Yan Rin standing alone in the midst of the chaotic army, as if he was in danger, with a calm and proud bearing pointing the country, behind him, Rong Qian was full of smiles, looking at the yellow-robed figure in front of him with satisfaction.

Shi Jingyuan had mixed feelings for a while, he sighed happily, finally, Yan Rin has reached the point where he can stand side by side with Rong Qian; Finally, did he get enough recognition; Finally, can you no longer be depressed with sorrow and depression for a lifetime...... But I can't erase the sourness in my heart, I am still not mature enough, calm enough, and inexperienced. When it comes to the critical moment, too many deficiencies are exposed, and too many areas need to be improved. And Rong Qian, you, as expected, did not betray, you, as expected, have never changed, you, really the same as you were at the beginning...... And the emperor finally knew......

Shi Jingyuan smiled lightly and bitterly, but his expression was undoubtedly relaxed and free - in fact, he didn't have to bear this secret for a lifetime, which can indeed reduce a lot of pressure. What if you don't have experience and don't have enough calm, experience is always accumulated slowly, and calmness can be cultivated gradually.

Sighing lightly, Shi Jingyuan was a little helpless, in the end, does Rong Qian still want to come back and be the king of ten thousand people under him? His own plans were all ruined in the end. But there was nothing he could do. Thinking about it, with Rong Qian's wisdom and carefulness, as well as his care and love for Yan Rin, the balance between the powerful and the capable can always be mastered. Nowadays, it can only be counted as one step at a time.

In the future, the days will be long......
