Chapter 16: The Ambitious Regent (15)
"Big guy, you have a feeling that you don't care about other people's lives or deaths." Qiqi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"This king left him in the formation of the people, if the princess feels that he is not suitable, she can terminate the cooperation with this king," Yixi did not explain to Guerra why he chose Jinche, "Of course, after the contract is terminated, this king will compensate you for the financial resources you have spent during this time." ”
"Okay." Guerra nodded, this deal was not a loss, and she also believed that Yixi knew people's eyes.
"Lord Wang, the outfit has been packed up." The two talked alone for a long time, and Jin Che was inexplicably a little irritable, urging, "It's time to move." ”
Yixi took the reins and turned over and sat down, and then said to Jin Che, "You don't need to go back to Beijing with this king. ”
What does the prince mean by this, Jin Che's eyes darkened, and he said in a muffled voice, "Does the prince think I'm in the way?" ”
"You are the king's right-hand man, how can you dislike it." Yixi raised Jin Che's head, "This king wants you to stay and recruit some people for this king." ”
"Located on the border between the two countries, it is easier to recruit people."
"Jinche knows." After taking a deep look at Yixi, Jin Che returned to the Tao.
The prince wants to make a sharp sword by himself, and he will live up to his expectations.
After hearing Jinche's promise, Yixi nodded with satisfaction.
Little cub, I hope you can understand Benjun's good intentions.
Waving the whip rope, Yixi's voice drifted away with the wind, "Princess, remember the things between you and me, don't talk to others." ”
Due to the disappearance of the regent, there was a mess in Beijing, especially the ministers led by the regent gathered privately to discuss the future fate of Pei Guo, and proposed that Xie Zhiqing pretend to be the regent and preside over the government for the regent.
"Officials gather in private, do you know that being caught is a felony to lose your head." When several white-bearded officials disagreed and were about to quarrel, a dark shadow pushed open the door and walked to the main seat on its own.
"How long has this king been out, and one by one he can't hold his breath?" took off her cloak, revealing her feminine and bewitching color, and said with a slight hook at the corner of her mouth, "The little emperor is a good time to clean the court and redraw the line. ”
"Lord Wan'an." The official fell to his knees tremblingly.
They were not afraid, but trembling because they could not hide the joy in their hearts, and their prince came back safe and sound.
Stuffing some pastries into his mouth, Yixi looked directly at Xie Zhiqing, "When you were hunting that day, you and the princess followed behind the little emperor, is he sick?" ”
"Unharmed." Xie Zhiqing took a step forward, and after thinking carefully, he replied, "There are only three assassins, and General Wu will capture them alone." ”
It is far less than one ten-thousandth of the dangerous situation of the prince at that time.
"It's just that when I think about it now, it's a little different."
Yixi didn't speak, but continued to let him continue.
"If there are a hundred assassins, they can attack the emperor, so my Pei country is in turmoil, and the ministers are leaderless." Xie Zhiqing frowned and thought deeply.
Moreover, the clothes worn by the prince and the emperor were completely different, and it would be completely unreasonable to say that the assassin had taken a dazzled eye and recognized the wrong person.
Xie Zhiqing's words fell, and the ministers thought for a moment, looked at Yixi and stopped.
"The king knows what you want to say." Yixi saw their reaction, "This assassination was prepared by the little emperor to get rid of the big trouble in his heart." ”
It came straight to Pei Yixi.
When the ministers heard this, they knelt on the ground again.
They were terrified.
"The mind of a mortal is really complicated." Yixi Road.
Which of these people who followed Pei Yixi didn't want to rebel, but when they heard that it was the little emperor who wanted Pei Yixi to die, they were collectively silent, and they were afraid that the little emperor would kill them.
"It's complicated." Qiqi nodded, and said in a tone of some unclear meaning.
"The rhizomes are intricate, rotten, and useless." Yixi made up her mind.
Whether it is the people sent by the emperor or the old ministers who follow Pei Yixi, the hidden thoughts in their hearts are no less than those of the former generals, and they even say that their methods are hidden and they can't catch their handles.
Yixi sighed deeply, as if he was helpless, and he seemed to be unwilling to the situation, "That's it, let's go down." ”
When the ministers retreated, Yixi called out to Xie Zhiqing, who was walking at the back.
The two talked all night, and no one knew what they were discussing.
It's just that from this day on, the Regent's Palace has become more inaccessible, and the number of patrolling guards has increased by as much as half, and even some exotic faces have mixed in.
The next day, the Regent's Mansion informed the world of the news of the regent's safe return, and the capital exploded, especially the little emperor, who jumped to his feet angrily under the gaze of Qiqi.
Because he was so angry, the little emperor fell directly into the lotus pond in the imperial garden, and when he was rescued ashore, his lips were white and he was infected with some wind cold.
"How is it today?" Yixi was leisurely in the courtyard and picked up the pomegranate offered by Pei Ji and asked Qiqi.
In his divine sense, Qiqi witnessed that the little emperor didn't know how many times he was angry and threatened to punish the nine clans of the entire Tai Hospital, and said, "It's still the same, feeding medicine every day." ”
"Can't bear all these hardships?" Yixi said.
"Pure pure waste." Qiqi despised the Dao.
The little emperor likes to drug people so much, what kind of prince and princess, which one was not quietly sent away by him under the medicine, but he was infected with a little cold, and half of the toxin was tormented before the toxin entered the body, so he couldn't stand it.
Withdrawing from his consciousness, Yixi found that outside the courtyard, the osmanthus garden planted by himself when he returned to Beijing was mixed with the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and then looked out of the arch, and the next person Ma Li picked off the flowers of the branches and put them in the dustpan to dry.
"Lord Wang." The butler shook off the osmanthus that fell on his shoulder, and came in with a pigeon in his hand, "The letter in the broken jade city." ”
Taking it from the butler's hand, there were only a few words on the letter, Yixi only glanced at it and pressed him under the pomegranate, "Send someone to ask Xie Zhiqing to come over." ”
The letter brought good news, the second son Yuyun re-dripping blood to recognize his relatives, wash away the grievances and stand out among the six sons, become the next city lord of Broken Jade City, and have created a jade plaque in the name of Yuyun.
As long as the city lord is dead, the city lord is undoubtedly Yuyun.
"Lord Wang, this is a good thing." Xie Zhiqing said.
In this way, Yuyun owes the prince a great favor.
"Hmm." Yixi handed him another piece of paper, "Look at this again." ”
"Yuyun's grievances were rehabilitated by relying on his heartfelt subordinate Ji Xiaoyi to die and fight for a glimmer of life, and Dark Jiu was also seriously injured, relying on the things of Broken Jade City to hang his life, and he couldn't come back for a while." Yixi frowned.
Although Dark Nine is simpler-minded, in terms of force, except for Dark One, who can barely be defeated, the rest of the people are defeated in the competition, but they don't want to break the Jade City and have a master who can win against Dark Nine.
"Is the prince afraid that the young city lord of Yuyun will take revenge?" Xie Zhiqing asked.
Yixi shook his head, meaningful, "It's just that the garden is full of osmanthus flowers, and the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is coming." ”
In previous years, the festival in Beijing was very prosperous, I don't know if it was raining, there were only a few big lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, and the people in the past were not interested, and even the hawkers closed early, closed the shop and went home.
In the darkness of the night, a wide carriage was driving across the main road towards the quiet and solemn palace.
"Uncle Huang, I heard that there is a new chef in the palace, a good hand at making pastries, I don't know if there will be some new things at the dinner party." Eating some snacks prepared by the butler in the carriage, Pei Ji looked excited.
Remembering the appearance of eating all the time makes people cry and laugh.
In contrast, Xie Zhiqing and the eighth princess in the corner who didn't know what to think were slightly sad.
There were no pedestrians on the road, and a few people arrived quickly, and just after getting out of the car, a eunuch led everyone into the temple.
The hall was staggered, the drums were singing, and the laughter of several princes echoed in it, and the only fly in the ointment was the pale face of the emperor.
"The sixth brother is here." The Emperor spoke up.
As soon as they heard that it was the regent who came, the prince was silent and did not dare to make another mistake, and everyone's eyes were also focused on Yixi.
The little emperor raised his glass, and there was a smile on his bloodless face, "The sixth brother returned safely after being attacked, and I haven't picked up the wind and washed the dust for you." ”
After the god picked up the wind and washed the dust, Qiqi rolled his eyes at the little emperor and dived into his divine sense.
When Yixi heard this, he also showed a smile on his mouth, but there was no joy in his eyes, "The emperor is worried about the people and the country, these little things are insignificant, and the minister heard that the emperor has been unwell for the past few days, and he specially presents a ginseng plant for thousands of years." ”
"That's to thank Sixth Brother." The little emperor's teeth itch with hatred.
The reason why I look like this is not because of you Pei Yixi.
The two went back and forth, and neither of them got any benefit in their words, obviously playing and singing in a brisk tone, but everyone invariably felt a chill in their hearts.
"In this assassination, I understand a truth." The verbal struggle between the two continued, and the emperor carried a wine glass and said, "If something happens to the sixth brother, my Pei country will not be at peace, and I will not be able to mobilize even some soldiers and horses." ”
Here's the highlight.
After laying the groundwork for so long, it turned out to be for the few talismans that he was holding in his original hand, Yixi raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and said, "The emperor is the true son of the dragon, and tens of millions of soldiers and horses are said to be shaking with an order, who dares not to obey." ”
"Regent, you can't say that." Yun Youxiang stroked his beard that was only left, "The newly promoted generals don't have half an emperor's token, how can they send people to do things, let alone mobilize a hundred troops?" ”
"Hmph," the voice fell, and when no one spoke, a sneer came, "You are in such a hurry, it's just that your daughter has become a queen, and I'm afraid that the regent will turn against you." ”
Looking in the direction where the voice came, it was Pei Yunfang, who had a "blood feud" with Pei Yixi, who was talking, and when he saw Yixi's eyes sweeping, he snorted again.
“…..” This Ten Princes is really a wonder.
"Presumptuous." Seeing that the sanctions couldn't stop Yixi, the little emperor threw his glass, "Pei Yunfang, how did you speak?" Could it be that the heart of a pure thief wants to rebel? ”
"Brother Dare."
"He's in a hurry." Qiqi looked up from the warehouse and couldn't stop gloating, "I broke the defense in just one sentence." ”
Yixi, who can speak well, was defeated before he came out with all his strength.
Tut.
Small spicy chicken.
"It's hard to make a big deal." Yixi looked down at the reflection in the wine and said to Qiqi.
After all calculations, the little emperor didn't expect Pei Yixi to escape death among so many assassins, and he couldn't imagine that Pei Yixi is no longer at that time, and there is a so-called all-powerful wisdom system to accompany her.
Originally, this family banquet was a happy banquet for the little emperor to celebrate Pei Yixi's death, but he didn't think that Pei Yixi was not dead, which disrupted all his plans.
"Sixth brother," after the little emperor taught Pei Yunfang a lesson, he didn't want to pretend to go straight to the point, "Today, I Pei Guo's millions of soldiers in the southeast and north are mobilized by you alone, and the courtiers often write to me, saying that the regent has the heart of rebellion, as the emperor, I naturally don't believe it, the sixth brother helps me to be entrusted by the first emperor, and it is also the umbilical cord of blood, and I now order you to hand over the southeast and southeast side of the talisman, and you can also seal the suspicious courtiers." ”
In and out of the words, the meaning is very obvious, if you dare to resist the decree, you really have this thought, and the emperor will easily be charged with a crime.
Today, you Pei Yixi can hand it over, and you have to pay it if you don't pay it.
