Cui Lang shook his head and shuddered, "What about grandfather?" ”

"The head of the house goes out and returns at night."

"That's over." Cui Lang glanced at the sky and showed a look of despair for others: "The eldest brother has knelt." ”

……

In Cui's ancestral hall, the incense candles are heavy, and the sound of needles falling can be heard quietly.

Cui Jing knelt straight, just like when he was a child.

On the desk, the tablets are neatly placed layer by layer, and the top tablet of the ancestors of the Cui family is covered with a shrine, and Cui Jing's eyes are always fixed on the bottom tablet.

It was his long-deceased biological mother, Zheng.

There was silence all around, and Cui Jing remained motionless, like a statue, blending into the gradually dimming ancestral hall.

Until the door of the ancestral hall behind him was pushed open, and the last rays of twilight spilled in.

"Get up."

A majestic old man's voice sounded behind him.

Cui Jing then got up and saluted with the people: "I've seen my grandfather." ”

The old man looked at him and said slowly, "I've lost weight again." ”

Cui Jing's momentum is no longer as cold and hard as before: "In the past two years, my grandfather has been worried. ”

"If you think so, promise your grandfather one thing." is different from Cui Xun's cold exposure, the real head of the Cui family, Cui Ju, is emotionally introverted, his joy and anger are invisible, his tone is not powerful, but his sense of oppression is even greater-

"Enter the palace tomorrow, return the military power, and ask yourself to step down from the post of general of the Xuance Army."

After a short silence, Cui Jing said: "It's really difficult for my grandson to obey his fate. ”

Cui Yi's old eyes swelled slightly: "Do you know what you are talking about?" ”

"My grandson knows it very well."

"Why does my father bother talking to this rebel son-" Cui Xun heard the news, his face was still pale.

Cui Lang followed him, hid outside the door of the ancestral hall, and secretly looked in.

At this time, Yuan Xiang came quickly, glanced at the situation in the ancestral hall, walked in, and said to Cui Jing: "Governor, the saint is urgently summoned, and the governor has entered the palace." ”

Cui Jing raised his hand: "Grandfather, grandson will retire first." ”

"No—" Cui Xun tried to stop him, but was interrupted by Cui Ju raising his hand.

Cui Jing lifted his feet and walked out of the ancestral hall.

"Long ...... The eldest brother ...... "Cui Shi Liulang, who has always been arrogant and domineering, is like a mouse seeing a cat at this moment, and his voice is like a mosquito."

Cui Jing tilted his head slightly, glanced at him, said "um", and raised his feet to leave.

Seeing him walk away, Cui Lang dared to raise his head and breathe a sigh of relief.

"Father......" In the ancestral hall, Cui Xun frowned and said, "You are not at home today, I don't know what the situation is...... When he returned home to-day, only the younger children were in the rooms, and the rest were not seen...... Since he joined the army, there have been countless voices of dissatisfaction in the clan, and today it is clear that it is-"

"Then you shouldn't reprimand him harshly in front of the children of the clan and punish him to kneel until this time." Cui Ju looked at his son and said in a fixed voice: "This is not called Liwei. ”

Cui Xun frowned, but he also lowered his head: "It's my son who is not thoughtful." ”

……

Out of the mansion, Cui Jing jumped on the horse: "Go." ”

The horses' hooves stepped on the twilight, and a group of people and horses quickly left Anyi Fang.

Anyi Fang is located in the north of the East Market, where it is not far from Miyagi, and the horse travel is not stopped for three quarters of an hour.

Cui Jing dismounted in front of the palace gate, and the chamberlain who was already waiting here stepped forward and saluted: "It can be regarded as waiting for Cui Dadudu...... The governor asked the slave to go to the saint. ”

Cui Jing handed over the horse to Yuan Xiang and followed the chamberlain into the palace.

"Hey." Seeing his own governor go away, a young soldier sighed with a sad face, and whispered: "Brother Yuanxiang, I don't understand, our governor is so heroic, a young general, and a resourceful man, I don't know how many miraculous feats he has made over the years...... If I could have such a chance, it would have to be smoke from the ancestral grave, and my father would have to tear up the family tree overnight and redraft it, and write my name on the first page! How come you get to the Governor and it is like ......"

Another soldier answered: "It's like killing people and setting fires, all kinds of evil are done, and the evil is full of evil, and it is difficult to write a ......."

"You know what?" Yuan Xiang rolled his eyes: "Shut up." ”

Who made that Choi's.

Yuan Xiang looked at the figure that had already disappeared behind the palace gate, and sighed in his heart.

For so many years, everyone has seen the affairs of the governor and his family.

In fact, he also felt a little aggrieved for his own governor.

……

Cui Jing entered the inner palace and came to the Xuanzheng Palace.

"Your Majesty." Cui Jing bowed down the imperial stairs and saluted.

Born in a top scholar family, he was cultivated by the Cui family as the future head of the family since he was a child, and even before the imperial power, the noble spirit that was carved into the bone marrow since birth has not been weakened in the slightest.

On the royal steps, there is a huge map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains carved by a white jade, and it is the territory of Dasheng.

Above the jade picture, in front of the dragon case, there is a bead curtain.

The Emperor of the Holy Book sat behind the beaded curtain, and the meticulous bun under the crown of the Son of Heaven had been mixed white.

"Cui Qing, please get up." There was no sense of old age in her voice, only an unattainable majesty: "Cui Qing led the army to triumph, and the journey was tiring, I shouldn't have been called urgently-"

"On the day of arriving in Beijing, as the commander-in-chief, he was the saint who entered the palace, but Cui Jing was late." The young man in armor was quite broad, and presented a recital: "This battle is detailed here, please take a look at it." ”

A female officer who looked very young stepped forward, took the recital, and nodded to Cui Jing with a smile.

Cui Jing responded with a slight bow.

The female official presented the recital to the Emperor of the Holy Books.

"Cui Qing and General Chang worked hard for two years for this war, and finally expelled the Nanban from my Dasheng territory, which is really hard work." The empress was not in a hurry to read the book, and her tone was pleased and appreciative: "Over the years, if there is no Cui Qing to be safe outside and inside, it will be difficult for me to be stable now." ”

"It's not Cui Jing's work." The young general's voice was not heavy, but he replied without hesitation: "It is the elite division left by His Royal Highness the First Crown Prince who is guarding the country for Dasheng Town." ”

The smile on the Emperor's face condensed slightly, and a moment of gloom flashed in his eyes.

"yes." She said in a low voice: "My heart is about Dasheng, and my heart is about the stability of the country......"

She didn't show too much emotion, and looked at Cui Jing through the bead curtain: "Actually, I urgently summoned Cui Qing to the palace this time, just for the sake of Dayun Temple——"

Hearing the words "Dayun Temple", Cui Jing, who was originally half-hanging his eyes, immediately raised his eyes.

Behind the bead curtain, the voice of the Holy Book Emperor sounded: "In the Great Cloud Temple, a vision suddenly appeared. ”

Cui Jing's eyes changed slightly: "Vision? ”

The Emperor of the Holy Book bowed his head and said slowly: "Half a month ago, Wujie sent a letter to the monk into the palace......

In the main hall, the lights on the Suzaku candlestick flickered on and off.

Not long after, Cui Jing came out of the Xuanzheng Palace.

The female official followed out with Gong E: "I'll send Governor Cui out of the palace-"

Cui Jing refused: "No need. ”

The female official was about to say that she was sending her off on the orders of His Majesty, but she saw that the young man had quickly stepped down the white marble steps.

He strode along, and the attendant with the lantern trotted to keep up.

The female official stood still for a moment, and saw the back disappear from sight, before turning back into the hall.

"Governor Cui Dadu was anxious to leave the palace and did not let Wanqing send him off." She went to the royal case and raised her hand to salute.

The Holy Emperor didn't say much, leaned back on the dragon chair and closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

After being so quiet for a moment, the female officer said softly: "Aunt doesn't have to worry too much......

The Emperor of the Holy Book nodded almost imperceptibly.

The female official didn't say anything more, retreated silently, and ordered Gong'e to burn the soothing incense pills.
