The General Is As Urgent As Law

After leaving the Yizheng Hall, after a while, Xue Ziqin saw Min Qiu standing there waiting for him.

He originally entered the palace with Min Qiu, but he was afraid that he might lose his life, so he let Min Qiu wait for him here.

Min Qiu is not stupid, no one can tell whether the emperor's summoning is a disaster or a blessing.

So he was very anxious all the time, but he didn't know what he could do.

Seeing that Xue Ziqin came out safely, he eagerly went up to him and said, "The emperor didn't intend to kill you, did he..."

"If you want, can I still stand here?" Xue Ziqin asked back.

"That's good." Min Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyebrows stretched, and then said: "Then what does the emperor mean?"

"Ten days later, we will set off with our army and return to Guizhou."

"Yes!"

"Go somewhere with me."

"Yes!"

Seeing that Min Qiu didn't have any questions, Xue Ziqin answered resolutely, feeling a little warm in his heart.After all, following him for many years, living and dying together, this kind of silent trust really makes people feel grateful.He identified the direction, took a step and walked quickly, Min Qiu followed behind him, just followed without saying a word.

The scenery in the palace was really nothing worth admiring, Xue Ziqin just walked with his head down, as if his soul was withdrawn, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing that the two had reached the door of Jiangzhen Terrace, Xue Ziqin stopped in his tracks.

Many years ago, it was here that Xue Ziqin sent him back and then left.He looked at the scene that was almost the same as in his memory, and his heart became more and more at a loss.

"General, do you want to say goodbye to him?" Min Qiu asked tentatively.

Xue Ziqin didn't answer, just stood there dumbfounded looking at the figures of the palace people passing by inside.Min Qiu looked at his appearance which was far from usual, and a burst of bitterness surged in his heart.

"General..." "Min Qiu."

"exist."

"The emperor said to let him live in seclusion here, and if he lives for the rest of his life, will he die?"

"Maybe, maybe not." Min Qiu replied truthfully, "But people are mortal."

Xue Ziqin asked who the person was, and Min Qiu knew it clearly.After all, Cen Lijin had just ascended the throne, so it would be really inappropriate if he started killing people directly, and he would easily get a bad reputation.But if it is said that Cen Lixuan fought with him so blatantly in the hall, it is impossible for Cen Lijin to not have hatred and fear in his heart.

Now that he has become the emperor, he has imprisoned Cen Liyu here. It is easier to kill him than to trample an ant to death.When the time comes to casually announce that Cen Lizhen died suddenly in the palace, the matter will be settled.

"If I take him now..." Xue Ziqin frowned, hesitating what else to say.But before he finished speaking, Min Qiu immediately interrupted him: "General, don't be stupid again."

"Yes." Xue Ziqin said with a sigh.

"The general wants to say goodbye?"

"No, if you say goodbye, you will be a fool." Xue Ziqin said.

"The general and him are in the past." Min Qiu looked at his side face and said seriously, "But Min Qiu is willing to follow the general forever, life and death."

I don't know whether Xue Ziqin heard it, but he just took a deep look inside, and the person he wanted to see did not appear in his sight.But he still resisted the reluctance to turn his head and looked at Min Qiu: "Let's go."

Min Qiu nodded, and continued to follow behind him, and the two walked towards the palace gate.

Even though he felt a lot of reluctance in his heart, he knew that as early as that day when he asked Cen Lixuan to choose him or the throne, the relationship between them was over.The only thing he could do in the end was to help Cen Lixuan fulfill his wish and sit on the throne, but they still lost.

It wasn't that he lost to Cen Lijin, nor was he lost to the Wei family, but because the emperor would never pass the throne to Cen Lixuan.

After Xue Ziqin and Min Qiu walked out a few steps, there was a thin figure in front of the Jiangzhentai gate.

Cen Liyan looked at Xue Ziqin's back from afar - no matter what time it was, Xue Ziqin's gestures were still high-spirited, even a little domineering.His high bundled hair swayed accordingly, showing an indescribably heroic spirit.

The guard at the gate saw Cen Lizhen standing here, and immediately stepped forward to stop him vigilantly: "You must not leave the palace without the emperor's order."

Cen Lixuan didn't answer, didn't move, and let them stop him.

He just watched Xue Ziqin's figure slowly going away, and his heart gradually became empty.

But now it's too late to regret.

What he said back then was not all lies, Cen Lizhen knew very well in his heart that if Cen Lijin sat on the throne, he would definitely not let him go, the luckiest thing would be to die of old age in Jiangzhentai; if it was unlucky, he would not even know how many days he had left can live.

But he can understand very well that if he wins, Cen Lijin will inevitably die.

He remembered what the two of them said at Jiangzhentai that day, and he remembered that he had pretended to be complacent and said to Xue Ziqin, "General, don't deceive yourself and others."But he was very clear that he was the one who deceived himself, not Xue Ziqin.

On the contrary, from the goodbye to the last moment of all-or-nothing in the main hall, Xue Ziqin never concealed his feelings for him, so why would he lie to himself?

On the contrary, he avoided talking about it and never made it clear whether he had the same thoughts.

Now that I think about it, it would be nice if Cen Lijin became the emperor - at least he would take into account Xue Ziqin's status and the power of the Xue family's army, so as not to punish them indiscriminately for rebellion.He is not as stupid and vicious as Cen Lijiang, even if he is pretending, he will "spread benevolence and righteousness" and let Xue Ziqin continue to be a general and devote himself to Xuan Guo.

This is the best result, and at worst, Xue Ziqin must be left alive.

Now it has been proved that what he thought was right.

Now that we have lost,

All he could do was not to take Xue Ziqin's life into account... because he couldn't bear it.

"General," Cen Lixuan said indistinctly, parting his vermilion lips lightly, "it's because Xuan'er has no good fortune to suffer, and it's useless to delay the general's time all these years."

"What did your Highness say?" The guard asked suspiciously, unable to hear what he said clearly.

Cen Lizhen shook his head: "It's nothing."

Immediately, Xue Ziqin had completely disappeared at the end of the long street.

This is the last side between them.

……

"My minister, Wei Lin, kowtow to the sage." Wei Lin knelt down skillfully first, and Jiang Yeben, who was a little behind him, also walked forward, knelt beside him and said, "Cao Min Jiang, kowtow to the emperor. "

"Both of you are meritorious officials, get down quickly." Cen Lijin smiled, got up from his chair, went around the table and got off the eunuch, and walked not far from the two of them.

After all, the two of them are used to being wild, and they don't have so much fun.Hearing what Cen Lijin said, Wei Lin immediately stood up with a playful smile, and Jiang looked more serious.

He just stood up, but his waist was not straightened.He also served the former king before and learned from those eunuchs. No matter what he did, as long as he was in front of the emperor, he had to bow his waist.Compared with such a comparison, Wei Lin glanced at him and couldn't help laughing.

"I summoned the two of you here today to ask, what kind of reward do you want for your great achievements this time?" Cen Lijin said, "Commander Wei is fine, he is a courtier at first, and being promoted to a noble is not a disadvantage. It's just Jiang Ye, what do you want?" He said, turning his head to look at Jiang Ye.

Jiang also tilted his head and thought for a while, but he didn't think of what to ask for for a long time.His family already had money, but if the emperor gave him a reward, he would still ask for money, and in the end it all ended up in Jiang's mansion, which had nothing to do with him.

Seeing his serious thinking, Wei Lin simply mentioned to Cen Lijin first: "Your Majesty, can I let this minister speak first?"

"Naturally."

As Wei Lin said, he knelt down again and said seriously: "My lord, I know that there is a lack of guards in charge of the palace guards, and it is not the head of the guards. I also ask the emperor to remove the humble minister from the position of commander of the imperial army."

"What?" Cen Lijin questioned, "Could it be that you don't want to be promoted to a noble? But I think this is a waste of talents."

"Your Majesty, my minister's father, General Wei, was originally a general of Jiangling, and I am willing to return to Jiangling to serve the country." Wei Lin said, raising his head with a simple smile, "My minister is just not used to life in the palace. , I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will cause trouble for the emperor."

"So..." Cen Lijin pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will designate you as a major general, how about serving in Jiangling? After your father wants to disarm and return to the field, you will take over as the guard of Jiangling."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

"What about you?" Cen Lijin looked at Jiang Ye who was still thinking.

Jiang Ye looked at Wei Lin.

When Wei Lin was going back to Jiangling, he never heard of it.In other words, this is completely Wei Lin's own idea.He was originally from Xiangcheng, and now that these messy things have come to an end, he still plans to honor his parents in Xiangcheng for a few years.

Then the meaning of these words became that Wei Lin wanted to separate from him, or not to discuss it.

Then isn't he a big rebel? !Is this going to turn the world upside down? !

Thinking clearly about the context, Jiang immediately vented his anger, and he couldn't lose his manners in front of the emperor, so he said in a deep voice: "The grass people don't want other rewards, but I just have a request. I wonder if the emperor can agree?"

"You said, if I can do it, I will do it." Cen Lijin said with a smile.

Jiang also had the courage to bow his hands in front of him and said, "Forgive Cao Min for being bold. Cao Min and General Wei had a grudge. I only hope that the emperor can beat him twenty times to vent his anger."

Hearing this, Cen Lijin couldn't laugh or cry, while Wei Lin looked at Jiang Ye in disbelief.

He leaned closer to Jiang Ye, and said quickly in a low voice, "One day husband and wife, one hundred days of grace, what are you doing..."

Jiang Ye just pretended he didn't hear it, and said: "The grass people only have such a small request, and I hope the emperor will fulfill it."

"But Young General Wei is also a meritorious minister, so I'm afraid it's..." Cen Lijin said with a look of embarrassment.Jiang Ye's request was not too much. Compared with the golden ten thousand taels, he seemed a little gentle.But he just named Wei Lin, and then ordered him to be punished. He always felt that this sounded a little bad.

"The grassroots dare to ask General Wei." Seeing Cen Lijin's embarrassment, Jiang also turned to look at Wei Lin, gritted his teeth, and said, "Are you willing to accept these twenty big boards?"

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Wei Lin's understanding of Jiang Ye was clear in his eyes, "If you don't take this board, you will lose me."

Under Jiang Ye's obscenity, Wei Lin had no choice but to hang his head and say: "I am willing to..."

Cen Lijin didn't understand the situation at all, but he felt that the two of them seemed to have a good relationship, and they just took it as a joke, so he laughed along with it: "Then... I will wrong General Wei."

"Come on!" Cen Lijin said loudly, "Take General Wei Shao and beat him twenty times."

"Yes."

Outside the Yizheng Hall, Wei Lin was pinned down on the bench by two guards.Jiang also squatted in front of him, looking at him with a kind smile.

The other two guards with sticks were ready, and following the order of the eunuch in charge, the board hit Wei Lin's ass one by one.

Jiang Ye took advantage of the beating and asked from the front, "Do you dare to find a future for yourself now?"

"Ah! Ah! What!"

"I mean, you are going to Jiangling, have you asked me?"

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Such a trivial matter! Ah! Just let it go! Ah! Someone hit me?! Ah!"

"You deserve it!" Jiang Ye said, "If you don't hit you, you don't know who is up to it."

"Ah! murder! ah! my dear husband! ah!"
