[Rebirth] The lord wants a minister to die

The whips blared through the sky, the palace was solemn and solemn, and the sound of drums and music came from the Minglou of the heavy palace, making people hold their breath.

Ning Jin was dressed in a bright red court dress, with golden embroidered cloud patterns on his arms and sleeves, and Fengming Wang Ning Qi and He Zhan followed behind him.The jade steps of the Zhumen, the palace is full of gold, He Zhan followed Ning Jin to step up the long steps step by step, civil and military officials lined up on both sides, civil left and military right, kneeling and watching Ning Jin enter the hall.

On the dragon chair in the middle of the hall sits the king who looks down on the world.Ning Jin met his eyes and was silent for a moment.

Ning Qi knelt down first, and He Zhan bowed his head to do the same.Ning Qi reported: "My brother fortunately did not disgrace the mission and escorted the third prince back to Beijing safely."

The officials in the hall knelt down to congratulate: "I welcome the third prince back to court."

The little eunuch announced the decree first, and Ning Jin just knelt down to listen to the decree.Emperor Jingzhao canonized the third prince, Ning Jin, as Prince Rui, and granted him residence in Prince Rui's mansion.

Respectful and respectful, Hui is called Rui.

After Ning Jin received the decree, the officials worshiped again.

Emperor Jing Zhao was sitting on the dragon chair, his sharp eyes were kindly shining, and he waved to Ning Jin: "You, come to me."

Ning Jin froze for a moment, then stepped forward.Emperor Jing Zhao held Ning Jin's right hand, and Ning Jin knelt on one knee in front of the dragon chair, his eyes were deep and he didn't say a word.Emperor Jing Zhao gently touched Ning Jin's head: "My son, I have suffered."

Ning Jin's expression remained calm, and he replied in a business-like tone: "Yongzhou is very good."

"Father, I'm sorry for your mother, I'm sorry for you. Whatever you want in the future, just tell Father, and Father will never let you suffer any more."

He didn't want anything, if there was one at all...

Ning Jin said: "I want the emperor... father to see someone."

Ning Jin looked down the steps, and Emperor Jing Zhao followed his gaze.Two burning eyes came together, He Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, got up and bowed again: "Craftsman He Zhan, see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

He is an official in Yongzhou, and he came to Kyoto with Ning Jin without the emperor's will. He has no official or job, and he is a "grassman".

Emperor Jing Zhao kept his body still and looked at him steadily: "He Zhan?"

"It's been ten years since Caomin left Beijing. I wonder if the emperor still remembers Caomin?"

After a long time without getting an answer, Ning Jin shook Emperor Jing Zhao's hand lightly, and Emperor Jing Zhao came back to his senses: "...I remember. Duke Zhong died wronged in court, Aunt Huang...I thought you too..." Speaking The rest were all sighs, and Emperor Jing Zhao asked, "Where have you been all these years?"

"Caomin went to Yupingguan to join the army, guarding the border of Jingguo, and devoted himself to atonement for his brother. I just didn't want to be lucky enough to meet the third prince in Yongzhou. God has mercy on me, and I gave Caomin the opportunity to return to the capital and see the emperor Longyan."

Ning Jin said: "My son was in Yongzhou for a few years, thanks to the care of my third uncle. With him always by my side, my son can return to Beijing safely."

How could the emperor not hear the implication?

The emperor prepared a pen and ink in the hall, and wrote an edict saying:

"Dr. Zhong Guo served the country and the people when he was alive, he was cautious and respectful, benevolent and loyal, and he was the pillar of our dynasty. However, the world is unkind, and he was framed by treacherous craftsmen. In the end, he died to show his ambition and protect the name of his descendants. His third son He Zhan Adhering to the legacy of the Duke of the State, the great righteousness is commendable, and I specially confer the title of Duke of Chengguo, self-restraint and prudence to show appearance, only loyalty and virtue to be virtuous. Appreciate this."

"Thank you Lord Ron."

He Zhan didn't care whether the congratulations from all the officials in the palace were true or not.Holding the imperial decree in his hand, in this life he is the Duke of the country with a clean background.

In his previous life, He Dazhong died in prison in fear of crime. It is impossible to trace whether he committed suicide or homicide, but He Dazhong was convicted of murder and cover-up;Afterwards, He Zhan was exiled to Yuping Pass, and then returned to Kyoto with Ning Jin as a guilty minister. Emperor Jing Zhao ordered He Zhan to go to a small place to become an official of Sesame Mung Bean.

He Zhan was promoted step by step, and it took three years before he returned to the court.

But in this world, He Dazhong declared his ambition by death, and Ning Huaqiong died with hatred. In order to appease the emotions of all parties and restore the title of Duke Zhong, the Supreme Emperor posthumously named Ning Huaqiong the Grand Princess of Anshuo.Inheriting the honor of the two, He Zhan became the Duke of the State when he returned to Beijing in this life. Although he has no power, he can still stay in the capital.Compared with the situation in the previous life, this has been an earth-shaking change.

After the court was over, Emperor Jing Zhao wanted to talk to Ning Jin alone, but He Zhan didn't follow him any more.

Because Emperor Jingzhao ordered the Queen to hold a family banquet at night, He Zhan and Ning Qi did not leave the palace again. They were served by the palace servants and changed into court clothes, waiting for the emperor to call in Dinghe Palace.

He Zhan was bored waiting, and played chess with Ning Qi.

Ning Qi didn't like to play chess with He Zhan. When they were young, the two of them studied chess under the Taifu. half dead.

But he couldn't stand He Zhan's stalking, so he had to agree.I haven't seen him for many years, He Zhan's style of chess has changed drastically, and the changes are unpredictable, making it hard to figure out the rules.Of course, He Zhan's not cheating has changed the most.

The two fought back and forth two sets, one win and one loss, and they couldn't decide the competition.The third set just started, when the voice of the palace servant came from outside: "Prince, King An."

He Zhan raised his chess hand in mid-air, and finally landed on a corner of the chessboard.Ning Qi cast a disdainful glance at Hei Zi in the corner, knowing that He Zhan had given up.

Two people walked in from behind the bead curtain, both wearing red python robes, their appearances were indistinguishable, like one person and one shadow, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other.

Ning Qi bowed his head: "See Prince, King An."

He Zhan didn't salute, and walked towards the two of them at a leisurely pace, looking back and forth a few times.Afterwards, He Zhan showed his face and asked one of them with a smile: "I'm as tall as your brother, third uncle can hardly recognize him."

Ning You stood there in a daze, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't believe it.

This man... is talking...

he is alive

Those people also lied to him, telling him that He Zhan was dead, not even his bones left.How can you believe it?Isn't his third uncle here?

Ning Zuo, who was on the side, also had tears in his eyes: "Third Uncle is really... so unfair. Why do you only talk to my younger brother?"

He Zhan said with a smile: "Now they are all princes and princes, but they can no longer be like children, what should they look like?"

Ning Zuo said: "For so many years, why hasn't Uncle asked someone to bring a letter back? We all miss you so much. Uncle has been away for ten years without hearing from you. It's really cruel."

He Zhan was about to answer, but Ning You suddenly rushed over and hugged He Zhan.His arms and breath were trembling: "It's true..."

He Zhan was startled by his actions, listened to his words, and smiled involuntarily: "Can I still be fake???"

Ning You choked back tears that suddenly fell down: "It's true...Only Uncle San can recognize me, this time it's true."

Not a dream.

Not a dream!

He Zhan laughed out loud: "...Which time was it fake?"

He Zhan let him hug him for a while, and briefly talked about the development of these years in a low voice before coaxing the two little ancestors to sit down.

He Zhan listened to them talk about the recent situation.Now Ning Zuo is married, the prime minister Fang Yuexiu's daughter Fang Qianqian, who was the young lady who wiped her nose on Ning Zuo whenever she cried.After marrying Fang Qianqian, Ning You has taken in several concubines one after another, but has never had any children under his knees.However, on New Year's Eve, Fang Qianqian was diagnosed with a happy pulse, which almost made the emperor and queen happy.

He Zhan was also happy to hear that, but he couldn't avoid the problem of cheap talk: "Look, they are all soon to be fathers, and they were still jealous with their younger brothers just now!"

Ning Zuo's face was ashamed, and he argued red-faced: "Anyway, I'm still a junior in front of my uncle, why can't I?"

He Zhan laughed a few times.Ning Qi listened from the sidelines, and the ice had broken through his straight face.

He Zhan asked Ning You again.Ning You held He Zhan's hand across the small table and remained silent.Ning Zuo answered for him, saying that Ning You was not yet married, Fu Shiming, the lady of Fu Shangshu, was waiting to marry him, and the emperor urged him, but he just refused to marry, and stayed in the mansion all day long, studying wood carving and clay sculpture, Never do anything serious.

He Zhan said: "That won't work, how can I keep Miss Fu waiting? You are old, so you have to think about it."

Ning You pursed his lips: "Where is the third uncle? Can the uncle marry a wife in Yongzhou?"

He Zhan was taken aback by this question, and rebuked with a half smile: "You are too bad, you little cunning! Your uncle is an old bachelor, so you just let me be a young bachelor? If you don't want to marry a wife, take me As a shield?"

Ning You finally had a smile on his face: "Can't you?"

He Zhan pretended to be solemn: "You'd better take Fengming King as his man, he is also an old bachelor. Turning around, the emperor will blame him and kick me back to Yongzhou to marry a wife in a fit of anger. Who should I cry to?"

"No! Father won't!" Ning You hurriedly replied, "I can protect Third Uncle now, no one dares to touch you!"

It was originally He Zhan's joke, but Ning You replied with a very serious tone, even his eyes. There was something disrespectful in the words carefully, and the surrounding atmosphere immediately became tense.

He Zhan quickly smoothed things over and said, "Uncle, you are joking, don't take it seriously."

Ning You also suddenly realized that he had lost his composure, and loosened He Zhan's hand by three points, and said, "I mean... since the father has granted you the title of Zhongguo Duke, you will stay in the capital forever." Seeing He Zhan nodding , he turned to ask: "Third Uncle has decided on a place to live when he returns to Beijing?"

Ning Qi spoke at the right time: "The Duke of Zhongguo will choose the old house to renovate. Before that, he should temporarily live in the post house."

Ning You said: "Let's live in Prince An's Mansion. The post house is too wronged. There are many female relatives in the eldest brother's mansion. My mansion is cleaner."

Ning Zuo was unwilling: "What's wrong with having too many female relatives? My house is big, so it's okay for my third uncle to live here."

"... "

He Zhan was so excited that tears filled his eyes.Well, well, a group of little ancestors really didn't hurt in vain!

The two were arguing, and a cold voice came in: "Don't bother me." Ning Jin lifted the curtain and entered, bowed slightly, as a salute: "My brother has already asked the father for instructions. The servant lives in Prince Rui's residence."

Ning Zuo and Ning You both frowned.

He Zhan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you back?"

The servants who followed up from behind sent word that the family banquet had been prepared and ordered the prince and other princes to go to Yuming Palace to wait.

"Uncle." Ning Jin called out, saying that he wanted He Zhan to go out with him, as if he had something important to discuss.

How could He Zhan not hear it?After bowing to the people in the house to ask for instructions, they left Dinghe Palace together with Ning Jin.

It's past dusk now, the sky is not yet completely dark, and there seems to be a gray-blue glow floating in the air.Ning Jin retreated to the left and right, and walked across the arched water bridge with He Zhan, walking leisurely, as if he had something important to do.

He Zhan asked suspiciously: "What? Don't you want to discuss matters with your ministers? The emperor made things difficult for you?"

"No. The journey has been exhausting, and I think my uncle has lost a lot of weight. I don't want you to go to the family banquet and worry about dealing with those people. I asked him for instructions and told you to go back to the house to rest first."

Ning Jin is so caring.Along the way, he was really exhausted and too lazy to deal with this family feast.

only…

He Zhan said: "You should also change your name to Father Huang."

"It's just the two of us." Ning Jin boldly held He Zhan's hand, and quickly kissed He Zhan's forehead, "I'll have someone prepare the carriage, and they will take you into Prince Rui's residence. Wait for me to deal with it." After this family banquet, I will go back to eat with my uncle."

He Zhan was very frightened by Ning Jin's actions, and felt a knife was on his head.It would be fine if it was in Yongzhou, but now at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if Emperor Jing Zhao knows that he and Ning Jin...

Let alone being demoted to Yongzhou, he might not even be able to keep his head, big brother!

"From now on...don't be so presumptuous again. Inside and outside the palace are the emperor's eyes and ears. Now that you are Prince Rui, with so many eyes staring at you, you must not do this again."

"uncle…"

"Be obedient." He Zhan said in a deep voice.

"That's all." Ning Jin complained, "When I get rid of the eyeliner in Prince Rui's residence, I won't be afraid of people staring at me, and uncle doesn't have to worry so much."

……

After hearing this, why does he feel that Prince Rui's Mansion is so like a golden house?

dedicated to…

The golden house of cheating.
