Hard to be a shadow guard

In the 43rd year of the Xia calendar, Emperor Taizong died in winter, and the princes fell into conquest of the throne.

More than three months later, the sixth prince Lin Yi won the throne and became emperor, known as Wenzong in history.

No one expected that they had fought for the throne for so long, but in the end they were crowned the Great Treasure by the most humble prince among them.

However, behind Lin Yi stood the entire force of King Rui's Mansion, and the empress dowager in the harem was not at all dissatisfied. She was reluctantly justified, and she could not tolerate protests from her subordinates.

As Xie Yiqian cleaned up the dissident voices in the court all the way, Lin Yi's ascension to the throne gradually became an irreversible matter.

Xie Yiqian never calculated that the most useful time he had planned to build a power for so many years was to support the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

It's just that the Conglong's achievements brought along with it also allowed Xie Yiqian to achieve all his wishes.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and all officials worshiped.

As a king with a different surname who has the power of a dragon, the status of Prince Rui's Mansion has long been unshakable, especially the hidden forces behind it are enough to make the new emperor afraid.

If Xie Yiqian still stays in Wangjing, he can get a lot of credit, either by gaining military power, or by talking about court affairs.

Many ordinary people in Wangjing City have heard that the new emperor is just a puppet, but in fact, the country of Great Xia has already been controlled by Lord Rui, no matter what request Lord Rui has, the new emperor cannot refuse.

The wider the spread of such rumors, the more intensified the trend.

Even when many courtiers heard the news, the new emperor looked at Xie Yiqian with a bit of inexplicable taste.

But at this moment, Xie Yiqian personally proposed to leave the fiefdom at the first court meeting after the new emperor ascended the throne.

As soon as this remark came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

Shocked by Xie Yiqian's thoughts, the new emperor tried to persuade him to stay, and after a few words of comfort, he discussed the matter later.

Xie Yiqian also knew how surprising his request was, and he was in a different position at this time, so he deserved careful consideration by the new emperor.

After the morning court that day, Xie Yiqian was immediately summoned by the new emperor.

"What does the Rui Dynasty mean by going to fief the land?" The new emperor asked cautiously, the hesitation in his words made Xie Yiqian want to laugh.

Recalling the undisguised dislike of the first emperor for many years, compared with the attitude of the new emperor, it is really a big change.

Xie Yiqian restrained his expression, cupped his hands and said: "As the minister said, now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, there are countless capable ministers and generals in the court. They should assist His Majesty. It's okay if you have to retire after your success."

"That doesn't mean you have to go far away to Lingnan." This is what the new emperor doesn't understand, "If the prince doesn't want to stay in Wangjing, I can give him many rich lands in the north, so why go to the barren land in Lingnan? The place?"

It's not because you suspect that Prince Rui's Mansion is treasonous, and you'll plan on how to kill me for decades!

Xie Yiqian thought to himself, but his face remained calm: "I know that I have no ambitions, and I can't manage a good place like the north."

"It's just that I've always been lazy and didn't dare to stay in Wangjing to cause trouble. It's better to find a back cover to spend my days leisurely. After thinking about it, only Lingnan is not afraid of making mistakes in my administration."

It would be nonsense to say that Xie Yiqian had no ambitions, but the new emperor looked at his expression, and the second half of what he said really didn't look like a lie.

"But..." The new emperor still hesitated.

Xie Yiqian knelt down on the ground: "I beg Your Majesty to be merciful, Xu Chen will find a place to live in Lingnan, so that future generations can enjoy Lingnan safely, only then will we be greatly gracious."

The words have come to this point, if the new emperor does not allow it, it will appear how unreasonable he is.

Besides, in a way...

King Rui went to a dilapidated place like Lingnan, why can't he support private soldiers and the latter's other outrageous things?

The new emperor doesn't show it on the face, but the little Jiujiu in his heart has already started to count.

It's a pity that the new emperor couldn't express his urgency, so he said very sadly: "My lord, you should think about it again. I really can't bear to let my goodness go. If my lord persists after thinking about it, then I will follow my lord's wish." .”

Xie Yiqian didn't even think about saying it once and he would go away successfully, but now he is satisfied with the words of the new emperor.

After thanking him several times, he left the palace leisurely.

For more than half a month, whenever Xie Yiqian met the new emperor, he would always say a few words to go to Lingnan and ask for the fiefdom.

At the last time, Xie Yi simply sat on the ground and acted like a rascal.

He said very affectionately: "The minister will tell His Majesty the truth now, and you also know that the minister once thought that the princess..."

"I remember... my lord's condolences." The new emperor didn't understand what he was saying.

I only heard Xie Yiqian continue: "But I didn't marry her voluntarily at all at the time!" With a sound, he slapped his thigh excitedly, "And the child I really like is because I got married that I separated from my heart. In a few days, I just flew away!"

"I miss him so much, I really don't have the mind to stay any longer. It took a lot of time to assist His Majesty to ascend the throne. Now that the big event has been decided, I beg Your Majesty to let me go and find him, otherwise I will not be safe if I die. !"

The new emperor's expression was indescribable, he really couldn't connect Xie Yiqian with a kind of affectionate, but he still wanted to say against his will: "...the prince is really affectionate."

Xie Yiqian didn't think this was enough, so he continued to throw down a heavy blow: "So Your Majesty, let me go. When I go to Lingnan, no one is watching there, and I will go to the children as soon as possible. I am afraid that I will be late, children. Marry a wife and have a child, what should I do!"

"Marry a wife and have children!" The new emperor was shocked, "Aiqing's little friend..."

"It's a man!" Xie Yiqian said carelessly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with what he said.

The new emperor was so helpless by the thunder, he looked at Prince Rui who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't say a word for a while.

Back then, Lin Yi and Xie Yiqian also played together for a while in the Prince's Academy, but as they got older, the two became increasingly estranged, until in the end they almost became strangers.

It wasn't until King Rui supported Lin Yi's ascension to the throne that the two began to get active again.

When dreaming back in the middle of the night, Lin Yi occasionally remembered that Prince Rui was also a fair and clean little beauty when he was a child, but he always pretended to be old-fashioned, which often provoked him to deliberately tease.

The childhood fun is unforgettable, but it's a pity that the relationship later became weak...

But now, looking at Xie Yiqian's scoundrel again, Lin Yi couldn't remember how he was when he was young.

And how has he never heard of—

King Rui doesn't love red faces but blue faces?

Especially looking at Xie Yiqian's posture, the person he was going to look for was clearly a blue-faced disaster!

Lin Yi thought for a long time but couldn't remember when he heard that there was someone beside Xie Yiqian.

However, Xie Yiqian has already confided his heart to the heart, and the new emperor's evasive remarks can't be said.

Relying on Xie Yiqian's dead skin and shamelessness, in the end he was really grinded into Lingnan's back cover.

Simply because of his achievements in Conglong, he deserves to be called the King of Lingnan, and the ministers in the court and the central government are puzzled, but there is nothing to say.

It was rumored among the folks that King Rui coerced the emperor to command the princes. After Xie Yiqian moved the entire Ruiwang mansion, and the new emperor personally sent it out of Beijing, he finally broke through without attacking.

The people in Prince Rui's Mansion marched for a month and finally arrived in Lingnan.

It's a pity that Xie Yiqian, who finally settled down in Lingnan, didn't live as well as he imagined.

The hundreds of shadow guards in the previous palace naturally followed, and the foundation of the Shadow Pavilion gradually shifted to Lingnan, leaving only a few people stationed in Wangjing to listen to news.

The rest of the servants and guards in the palace were either dismissed or followed after seeking personal opinions.

After this mighty team arrived at Lingnan City, the new palace under construction happened to be completed, and Xie Yiqian moved in directly with all the packages.

Speaking of the early spring in Lingnan area, the weather is expected to be chilly and slightly cold, but there are already hundreds of flowers competing for beauty.

The new Prince Rui's Mansion was built according to the ancestral system. The interior design of the building is elegant and magnificent, and the design of some places is worthy of a word of luxury and splendor.

But Xie Yiqian walked in it, but he didn't enjoy half of the fun.

He squatted by the fish pond in the backyard, holding half a bowl of fish food in his hand, and while feeding the koi in the pond, he meditated for half an afternoon.

It was night, and Xie Yiqian summoned Tianren and the others—that's right, King Rui thought he was kind, and after Tianren let Xuanying go, he didn't continue to criticize him except for venting his anger at the beginning.

Xie Yiqian said to Tianren and the other three very seriously: "This king has discovered a very serious matter."

Seeing his expression, Tianren and the others were also aroused, and couldn't help becoming nervous: "I don't know what the Lord is doing?"

"This..." Xie Yiqian said, "I think it's time to go out and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, and I brought back my little shadow by the way."

"It would be a pity if Xuanying didn't show the new palace of Nuo Da!"

"Especially since Xuanying left, this king can't eat well and can't sleep well. If this continues, he will die young!"

"Your Majesty, be careful with your words!" Tian Ren retorted with a face full of indescribable words.

I don't know if it's Tianren's illusion, they always feel that since the registration of the new emperor, their lord has changed completely.

Where can I still see the majesty and terror before, and even many behaviors are confusing.

Let's be open-minded if you say that the Lord's great revenge must be avenged... They always feel that it is not the same thing.

But if it is said that the lord is so irritated that he is delirious... sins and sins, how can we arrange the lord!

No matter what it is, Tianren finally understood it: "The lord is saying that he is going to find Xuanying?"

"It's not looking for it, it's just passing by." Xie Yiqian continued to maintain a serious face.

Tianren ignored his words and asked, "Dare to ask the Lord, where do you plan to go?"

Hearing this, Xie Yiqian was silent for a moment, and it was a long time before he said: "Let's start from the place where we first met..."

He didn't know where Xuanying had gone, and this vast land could not be searched by him alone.

Just start from the place of dependent origin, which is more interesting than empty search.

It would be good to just recall Xuanying's childhood hometown...
