As the tea mist faded, the young man opened his mouth.

"Uncle Jiang Shi-"

Jiang Zhengfu's face trembled slightly, and he responded in a kind voice: "Hey." ”

In the eyes of the world, he is cold and indifferent, not easy to approach, and has never been a gentle and loving person.

And that's exactly what happened—

He only married one wife in this life, never took a concubine, never renewed the string, and only had a son and a daughter.

And the son of his best friend's family, Jingzhi, grew up in front of his eyes, and the first poem of enlightenment at the age of three was taught by him, and the first time his little hand tried to hold a pen, he taught it by hand......

The child who is excellent everywhere, in his eyes, is no different from a parent.

And now, the high-spirited teenager in his memory has grown into a calm and introverted young man, and he is the youngest envoy of the town since the founding of the country.

Jiang Zhengfu was a little happy, a little relieved, but when he spoke, he was only ashamed: "Uncle Shi only recognized you now...... Previously, because of the affairs of the Yun Dynasty, I heard a lot of rumors, and I have always had a lot of prejudice against you, and I am embarrassed to target you in every way, which is really unbearable to be an elder. ”

"Now that everything is clear, Uncle Fang knows that in the past few years, the so-called targeting is just to make Pei's secret surveillance on me, wanting to find out my real mistake, and he has never framed the assassination in secret." Xiao Mu said: "Jing Zhi used to know that Uncle Shi was a human being, and he should know that Uncle Shi had a bottom line in his actions, and he disdained to do personal means——"

When the young man said this, after a pause, he said truthfully: "It's just that since the incident nine years ago, I have also developed deep prejudices, misunderstandings and suspicions when I treat my uncle. ”

As a result, he could no longer believe what he had known before.

"But over the years, you haven't tried to deal with me because of this suspicion." Jiang Zhengfu looked at him and asked, "Jingzhi, you have been in power all these years, have you really never thought of ......?"

The rest of the words need not be said explicitly.

"It would be hypocritical to say that such thoughts have never been felt." Xiao Mu said frankly: "I have thought about it, and more than once. ”

The young man lowered his eyes slightly, and looked at the gauze lantern embroidered with ink and bamboo on the small table: "It's just that every night when I climb high and look at the lights, I think of the vow I made in front of my father when I was a child, and I shake again." In this way, I often don't know what is right and what is wrong. ”

"It wasn't until later that I met someone." Speaking of this, the young man's eyebrows became calm and clear in an instant: "Seeing what she did, listening to what she said, the answer gradually became clear, and I was no longer trapped in it." ”

Jiang Zhengfu's eyes became redder when he heard this, but his eyes were full of relief: "Uncle Shi guessed that you may still be alive, and I often worry that you are blindfolded by hatred and lose your heart. There is nothing wrong with revenge, and nothing you do is wrong, but you have a strong heart since you were a child, and you have a righteous heart, and these hearts cannot be completely wiped out, and under the torment of the two phases, I am afraid that you will be ground down......"

Jiang Zhengfu's voice was already slightly hoarse: "You can keep your heart here and find a way to balance, Uncle Shi is really very happy." This is a blessing for you and me, and it is also a great blessing for the world. ”

He looked at the tall and upright young man in front of him, with a smile on his face, but tears were already wet in the corners of his eyes: "Ruoyun Chao knows that you are back...... I don't know what kind of joy I want to be. ”

"Yun Chao was killed in vain, I will definitely seek justice for him-"

"Nope." Jiang Zhengfu said slowly: "This matter should be done by me, the father." ”

He looked at Xiao Mu: "And the matter of the eldest brother back then...... Respectfully, do you now know who the real murderer is? ”

Xiao Mu pursed the corners of his mouth slightly: "Yes, the past is all clear." ”

There was silence for a moment, and Jiang Zhengfu asked in a dumb voice: "Although I am not the one who knows about the events of the past, it is also a fact that I stood by and watched...... Jingzhi, do you blame me? ”

"I hated it before, and I blamed it." Xiao Mu said frankly like an ordinary junior: "I once thought that even if I just stood by and watched, I would be an accomplice. But all the way to this day, at this time, I have understood that Uncle Shi's body is involuntary - and the things of that year, the king's heart has been decided, and no one can change it. ”

"Jun's heart has ......been decided" Jiang Zhengfu's eyes were a little distant: "Back then, in the prison, your father also said these four words to me. ”

"On the same day, I went to the Shuguo Mansion to get people, but I recommended myself." He recalled the emperor's furious appearance that day, and said: "The incident happened suddenly, I didn't get the slightest news before, and the sage summoned me to the palace to discuss, and my attitude was irreversible...... So I recommended myself to investigate this matter, and when I left the palace, I ordered someone to send a message to Yun Chao, asking him to hold you back...... In exchange for some chance of life. ”

When Xiao Mu heard this, he couldn't help but think of the picture of his friend pulling him to throw a pot in the restaurant built by the water that day, and refusing to let him go home-

Originally...... And so it was.

"I thought at that time that it would be better for me to investigate and handle this matter than to hand it over to someone else or the political enemy of the time." Jiang Zhengfu explained everything in the past: "And because of this, the saint also has a 'test' heart for me, and has been secretly watching my every move. That night, I saw my eldest brother for the last time in the prison, and he persuaded me not to meddle in this matter again......"

Recalling this, Jiang Zhengfu showed a bitter smile: "I knew at that time that my brother's words were to make my conscience better. ”

He forcibly suppressed the churning tears and looked at Xiao Mu: "Do you think that Uncle Shi is excusing himself by telling you these words that are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood at this time?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Mu said: "I believe in my father-"

That's what a father would do, what he would say.

He looked at the head of the Jiang family in front of him, with pale sideburns, bruises and blood stains on his face, and guilt written in his eyes, and said, "Now I also believe in Uncle Shi." ”

The young man got up and raised his hand towards Jiang Zhengfu and saluted: "Thank you Uncle Shi for secretly protecting each other back then." ”

"......" Jiang Zhengfu got up slowly, trembling and reaching out to help him, the tears in his eyes finally fell.

There are some words, just one sentence, which is a great salvation.

He didn't need this thanks, but he needed this heartfelt understanding to redeem himself.

Xiao Mu helped him sit back slowly.

After a long time, Jiang Zhengfu was able to calm down and said, "...... I should have thought that it was Li Wei, she had a fiery temperament since she was a child, and she was not the thing that was willing to settle in the cage bird pond in the deep house, and I should have noticed something strange when she looked like this all these years. ”

"It's just that she first lost her horse, and then she suffered in your family, and the news of the teacher's death suddenly came to Beijing, and the blows came one after another, and she couldn't afford to be sick, and she acted well...... I was completely deceived by her. Jiang Zhengfu inhaled slowly and calmed his breath: "Now that I look back and think about it, I feel terrible." ”

"Over the years, I haven't doubted her for the slightest." Xiao Mu's eyes were half-drooping: "Even when I woke up in the morning recently, I often had a moment of trance, only feeling that I was in a dream, how could I not merge it with the bloody person." ”

He thought that he had long practiced the ability to discern and accept the changing reality of the human heart, but this incident still made him unable to accept it for a long time.

Because of this, the more you can see how meticulously the other party has hidden over the years, and how deeply rooted the people are in the hearts of the people when they act gently.

And so he is......

What is Ah Heng's state of mind?

There is no more cruel slaughter in the world than this.

"Could it be that you have been in contact with Li Wei all these years?" Jiang Zhengfu heard the key.

"Yes, I ...... after I left Beijing"

The candles in the gauze lamp danced softly.

Xiao Mu explained all the causes and consequences, including Yan Ming's experience at this time.

Jiang Zhengfu felt a chill down his spine when he heard this: "One is the envoy of the town who holds Lu Longjun, and the other is the head of the Dasheng No. 1 business house that she secretly supported, and they all regard her as a benefactor and close relative...... What she wanted to do was so easy. ”

He looked at the young man in front of him, and he was only glad in shock: "Fortunately, you are sober enough to persevere, and you have not been mistaken by her, otherwise at this time, I don't know what the broken situation is." ”

Then she pondered: "Judging from the current situation, she will not be able to put her chips on the two of you alone......"

Xiao Mu said: "The death of Emperor Daxing is really poisoned. ”

Jiang Zhengfu raised his eyes suddenly: "...... The saint was also harmed by her?! ”

And when I asked, I felt redundant.

"So beside Emperor Daxing, in the East Palace, there are her eyeliner everywhere." Xiao Mu said: "Over the years, she has never stopped the layout. Since the death of Emperor Daxing, it is the day she appears to end the game. ”

"In this way, there must be her people above the court, cough cough ......" Jiang Zhengfu's eyes were gloomy, and he coughed for a while under the influence of his heart, and only after a while was able to continue: "Presumably, it won't be long before the funeral will naturally become a state affair!" ”

"So Uncle Shi must take care, she is in a hurry to kill this tonight, which shows the urgency of Uncle Shi." Xiao Mu looked at the person who described him as weak and said, "Dasheng Imperial Hall, now I need Uncle Shi to guard it." ”

"Dasheng needs you more." After a cough, Jiang Zhengfu's tone became more and more weak: "Her conspiracy has now surfaced, presumably in order to clear the way forward, she will also kill you, you must pay more attention to it and take care of your own ......"

"Uncle Shi rest assured, Jing Zhi understands."

"There is one more thing......" Jiang Zhengfu looked at the young man in front of him and spoke weakly.

Xiao Mu waited for him: "Uncle Shi, please speak-"

"You just said that...... You have to meet someone so that you are no longer trapped and tormented, is that person a man or a woman? ”

Xiao Mu: "? ”

But seeing that there was a look of expectation in the uncle's eyes, he replied, "I am a woman." ”

"I guess so." Jiang Zhengfu smiled reassuringly: "Then you have a sweetheart?" ”

Xiao Mu also rarely showed a smile: "Yes." ”

"Which girl from the Northland is it?" Jiang Zhengfu asked with a smile.

"It's a Kyoshi girl." The young man's eyebrows, eyes and tone were extremely soft: "The second lady of the Ji family, her name is Hengyu." ”

“…… It's actually the second lady of the Ji family in the teacher's family? Jiang Zhengfu was slightly taken aback, and then laughed even more heartily: "Okay, okay...... Very good. ”

Looking at the smiling appearance of the young man in front of him, Jiang Zhengfu's old and dark eyes also showed a hint of hope: "After everything is settled, I will be a matchmaker with you and the two of you, and handle this family affair for you to a successful conclusion." ”

He has no children, and the "lost and regained" child in front of him is his child.

Xiao Mu smiled and nodded: "So Uncle Shi has to take care of himself, not long ago his nephew just offended her, I am afraid that I will not be angry, and I can't coax her to get married in a year or two." ”

"You are so dignified, what do you do to offend a little lady?" Jiang Zhengfu said with a smile: "It's okay, in the future, Uncle Shi will go to the Ji family with you to apologize, or for the sake of my old face, the future in-laws can be soft-hearted and reduce your sentence for a year and a half." ”

Xiao Mu thanked him first: "Then there will be Uncle Lao Shi." ”

The two laughed and talked, and the lights were amiable.

……

The next day, the news of Jiang Zhengfu's assassination and almost death spread in the court, causing panic among people.

At this time, another military newspaper came to Beijing-

"The Turks are moving and are massing their forces!"

"This ...... I said at the time, "Nagaque can't be killed!" The envoy of the Xiao Festival was unscrupulous, and even entered the palace to personally slash it! How could a barbarian like the Turks endure such a breath? ”

"The southern border has not been peaceful, and now there are changes in the Turks, how can this be good?"

"Ling Gong was seriously ill and assassinated again...... Who can decide this? ”

"It's better to ...... Go and ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess? The eldest princess had faced the Turks several times in her early years, and she must have an opinion on top of this! ”

In the face of this proposal, some officials showed hesitation.

"It is rumored that the eldest princess lived in the Manna Palace, is this true or false?"

"Yes...... It was said to facilitate discussions with officials of the Ministry of Rites. ”

"But this doesn't work! The Manna Hall is the residence of the emperor! No, I'm going to the Imperial Observatory to explain this! ”

Some officials went to the Yushitai, and several officials still went to the Ganlu Hall to ask the eldest princess of Yongyang about the Turkic army.

There were also officials who talked privately, and went out of the palace to visit Xiao Mu in Dingbei Houfu.

In the Ganlu Palace, the eldest princess of Yongyang listened to the movements everywhere, and bent over to trim a pine tree.

"The list of officials who went to the Imperial Observatory is here." Liu Qian handed over the one-fold list.

"Put it there." The eldest princess of Yongyang said casually: "Let's go with them first, there must be these noisy words, there will only be more in the future, not less." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, a lot."

"Let's retreat first, and later this palace will discuss with you lords how to deal with the enemy Turks."

Liu Qian retreated.

"Respect that child...... "The eldest princess of Yongyang cut off a pine branch and sighed: "This palace kills people, he saves people...... It's a real headache. ”

She lowered her eyes and listened quietly.

The eldest princess put down the scissors wrapped in the red rope, straightened up, and said casually: "Count the days, the first seven have passed, and it is time to give an explanation to Chang'er." ”

……

Following.

A team of guards broke into the palace of the king of Xiang.

"What are you going to do?"

"The assassination of the prince by the king of Xiang is conclusively proven! Come on, take it down, and take it to the prison of Dali Temple! ”

"What evidence is conclusive? I didn't kill my brother! King Xiang was terrified: "I want to see Aunt Yongyang!" ”

The leader raised the edict in his hand: "This edict is drawn up by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yongyang and all the adults, the eldest princess has said that the king of Xiang plotted to kill her brother, which is contrary to the norm and disregards the feelings of her siblings, which really makes her feel cold, so it is handed over to the three divisions to deal with according to the law, and no longer ask about this matter." ”
