"Think carefully."

Ji Yun wanted to push people away from him, but he couldn't bear to get an answer so quickly, so he could only say such a hasty sentence and fled in despair.

When he left Side Hat Lane, his mind was so empty that he almost couldn't recall what he had said to Bai Chen just now - as if he couldn't remember, it could be assumed that he had never said those words that distanced himself from the relationship and hurt others.

But there was always a filthy air lingering inside, which made his chest feel oppressed, and he even felt a convulsive pain.

It turned out that the beating thing in his chest liked that person so much.

He clenched his teeth, and tasted a bloody smell in his throat.

The smell of blood in the General's Mansion was even stronger. When Ji Yun came, the doctor was changing Gu Huan's medicine.

Gu Huan was disobedient, the doctor told him to lie down for at least three months before he could move, and within a month he got up, and went to the courtyard to practice boxing, and the wound worsened when he came back.

The old doctor rushed over, his eyebrows and beard trembling in anger, and he was frightened by the majesty of the general, so he didn't dare to teach him a lesson, so he could only rub his hands secretly when changing the dressing and wrapping the gauze again.

Even though Gu Huan had always been able to endure the pain, under the old doctor's ecstasy, he couldn't help grinning and hissing.

But seeing Ji Yun stepping in through the door, he immediately straightened his expression, gritted his teeth and frowned, and restrained himself from screaming.

Ji Yun heard that Gu Huan's wound had deteriorated, so she hurried over to visit him.Knowing the reason, I couldn't help being angry: "The injury is so severe, if you don't take good care of it, what are you doing?"

The old doctor was happy that someone would teach this disobedient patient, and his subordinates moved more and more slowly, wanting to take the opportunity to listen to more corners.

Gu Huan found out the old man's scheming and felt displeased, so he wanted to let him back down. Ji Yun glared, and said angrily: "The general died of an injury, why should he hide his illness and avoid medical treatment?"

Ji Yunshao and Gu Huan spoke harshly, always relying on him more.Suddenly being scolded like this, Gu Huan didn't look angry, he just seemed a little helpless, and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the leader, just wants it."

But he said again: "I don't want to die. It's just that the fief of King Fufeng is Qiaozhou, which is adjacent to Houliang. King Fufeng intends to rebel, so naturally he should be punished. Only Qiaozhou lost the vassal king, and Houliang may think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it." , must cause trouble. The thief in Houliang would not be polite to wait for the minister to recover from his wounds before attacking."

Ji Yun was silent.

He naturally understood Gu Huan's worry.He had only ascended to the throne in the last life, so Gu Huan advised him that Ji Zhunxin had disobedience, and he should get rid of him as soon as possible.He still has brotherly affection for his younger brother, and he couldn't bear to harm him, so he sealed Ji Zhun to a remote Qiaozhou on the grounds of his family's protection, so as to resist the latter.

He exiled him, but also protected him.And in those few years, Ji Zhun did keep the back beam out and defended very tightly.

Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Qiang who caused the disaster, and the brothers turned against each other.After Ji Zhun was defeated and died, Hou Liang also took advantage of the gap.

Now that Ji Zhun died so early, Houliang is indeed a problem.

Ji Yun squeezed the center of her brows, and said: "Hou Liang is also at the time of seizing the main drama, if he intentionally invades, what can happen, not to mention the governor Pei Du is watching. Besides, it's not that there is no one in this dynasty, don't worry about it." It is said that the Fan family has always been the house of the generals, and the Xun family has also made great progress in recent years. Even Gu Xiang can resist it if he thinks about it. Besides them, there are countless good men. Why do you have to take your own injuries to go into battle? You can take care of yourself That's it."

That's right, now the Sheng Dynasty has not gone through the Eight Kings' Rebellion, Gu Huan is still there, and Hou Liang is even still in civil strife.Later, the new Emperor Duan Pihuan, who led the army and pulled out the city all the way, probably had just returned to the palace from the market at this time, and was still being kicked at the feet of his brothers.

The destiny is on his side, so what is there to be afraid of?

It's just that Ji Yun is usually fatuous, and it's rare for him to express such a detailed and detailed opinion, and even hinted at him to hand over his power.

Gu Huan raised his eyebrows slightly, but he only said: "The boy is stubborn, how can he be worthy of a big responsibility."

Originally, Ji Yun was just testing it out, and didn't expect Gu Huan to be able to understand, so she didn't feel overly disappointed.

Changing the subject, he said again: "Xinling has been begging to see Gu for the past few days, saying that since he can't find the assassin himself, how can he judge that he is someone from Ji Zhun's group. Gu can't answer, so he can only see her."

Gu Huan said: "The assassin's hiding in the Fufeng Palace was witnessed by His Majesty's guards. This is the witness. The private military secret letter found in the Fufeng Palace is the physical evidence. There are both personal and material evidence, and there is no denying it. The eldest princess loves her younger brother, so it is inevitable that she will be extreme, so don't take it to heart, Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Ji Yun was silent for a while, and then said: "It's nothing else. It's just that the assassin still can't be caught, so I can't help but feel uneasy."

When he said this, he fixed his eyes on Gu Huan's face, as if he wanted to see some traces.

But the latter looked calm and unwavering at all.

"Since the assassin was instigated by others, the main messenger has already been killed, so naturally he will not appear again. If His Majesty is still worried, the minister can also stand guard day and night to protect His Majesty's safety, and never let His Majesty suffer any harm."

Ji Yun looked at him, nodded slowly, and said, "I am really relieved to hear what the general said."

After chatting for a few more words, Ji Yun said goodbye.

On the way back to the palace by car, Ji Yun suddenly remembered that many years ago, when he was still young, he didn't understand why the emperor wore a twelve-pronged crown, so that his eyes were vaguely covered and he couldn't see clearly.

The teacher replied: "The son of heaven is the son of the gods. He is truly precious and cannot be seen by the eyes. He should have a mysterious majesty. Therefore, others cannot see clearly."

But his father told him: "That's to not see the people under him clearly. There is no fault in anyone. If you see their faults too much and too clearly, you will inevitably look hateful. No one is wrong." It's available. So wearing the crown is to make you feel a little bit unimportant, just pretend you don't see it."

The ankle that was hit by the stone that day was still green and incomplete, Ji Yun pressed it, and felt a faint pain.

The so-called Xiangzhuang sword dance is intended for Pei Gong.In the assassin's eyes, Pei Gong was probably just Ji Zhun, and he would bring a Shu along by the way, otherwise he wouldn't get that stone on his foot.

He was nothing more than the sword.

But he was also willing to be that sword, and he used his tricks to kill his own brother.

This was the real reason why he didn't see Xinling, he didn't dare.

As for who Xiang Zhuang was, Ji Yun closed his eyes and put on the twelve-pronged crown.

Ji Yun has experienced a lot of major changes recently, and his whole person has become a little gloomy. He usually sits alone for a long time when he goes to court, without saying a word.

Li Chengnian was worried, and thought of various ways to make the saint happy.He only hated that he couldn't be younger and more beautiful. It's fine to pretend to be crazy in front of the saint, as long as the saint can smile.Depressed qi stagnates in the heart for a long time, how can the heart disease be cured by holding back it?

He thinks hard every day, and his thinning hair has lost a lot of worry.However, some people came to him to find him unhappy, and some officials accused him of accepting bribes and corruption.

As Ji Yun's closest servant, Ji Yun had to rely on Li Chengnian for food and travel. Naturally, some people tried their best to curry favor. Even the general wanted to win him over as his own eyeliner.Li Chengnian was very loyal, and of course he couldn't touch the general's hot money, but those that didn't get in the way didn't matter, he picked and picked them and took them openly.Except for occasionally ridiculing him for his shallow eyelids, Ji Yun never said anything about him.

Li Chengnian has walked in front of the imperial court for decades, and he thinks he is the only one who has been favored. Although there have been threats, he has removed them first. He is very proud. After all, he is the most loyal and trustworthy person around the saint.

In any case, he never expected that this problem, which was not even considered a flaw, would be used by Ji Yun as an excuse to demote him to take care of the plum tree in the remote yard.

He was not reconciled, but also extremely wronged.Ignoring the sharp weapons of the guards around Ji Yun, he rushed forward and hugged Ji Yun's trouser legs, his old face was gone, and he cried with snot and tears: "The saint dislikes the old slave, and the old slave knows it, and dare not be embarrassed again." I beg for the grace of the saint. But after all, this old slave has served the saint all his life, and his loyalty to the saint can be shown in the world, and the sun and the moon can learn from it. Why is the saint treating the old slave so cruelly?"

Let him, a former servant, start the most humble job again, even someone else's saliva can drown him.

At least Ji Yun didn't tear the man who wiped his trouser legs with tears and snot away from his legs. He let him hold him, looked down at the crying old servant, and felt sorry for him while holding grudges.

Naturally, he couldn't say that he was resenting Li Chengnian from his previous life.The betrayal that made him feel like a stick in his throat, made him feel disgusted and hated towards Li Chengnian all the time.But he was sober again, Li Chengnian in this life knew nothing, yet he had to bear his anger, how innocent.

It is the qualification of gods and Buddhas to judge others first for crimes that have never happened.Although Ji Yun is the son of heaven, he still dare not claim to be a god or Buddha.

And he has another plan in mind, since he has wiped out the possibility of Bai Chen's rebellion from the source in this life, Li Chengnian's betrayal is out of the question.No matter how different Li Chengnian's intentions are, he is prepared now, so naturally he doesn't have to be caught off guard like in the last life, and staring at this familiar nail is much easier than finding where there is a nail on the pile.So he endured the boredom and impatience that surged up in his heart from time to time, and still kept Li Chengnian by his side.

Originally, there was no problem in coming here. Although Li Chengnian was still doing things in private, it was still within his tolerance, and Li Chengnian hadn't shown any signs of disloyalty.

But he was suddenly afraid, and he didn't dare to take the risk.

Same as the previous life, Bai Chen once again caught the line of Li Chengnian.

He didn't dare to bet whether Bai Chen would use Li Chengnian again to do what he did in his previous life.Even if he could keep an eye on Li Chengnian, Bai Chen could avoid the end of his previous life if he rebelled against him again.

But he was still afraid.

He was afraid of any possibility that might trigger Bai Chen to act like he did in his previous life.

He wants to completely obliterate this possibility.

He said: "It is because of the love you have served me for many years that I left you alive."

He waved his hand, signaling the guards to drag down the crying Li Chengnian.

The news that Li Chengnian, the permanent servant Li Chengnian angered Sheng Yan in front of the imperial court and was demoted from his post, passed through the palace walls and reached Side Mao Lane. Bai Chen was facing a peach blossom tree in front of the window.

Spring is in full bloom, and the city doesn't feel it, but the mountain peaches in the countryside are already in bloom.

Bai Chen remembered that peach trees were planted all over Dongshan Mountain, and every time it came to the season of fragrance and beauty, the pink clouds were like steaming clouds.

In the past, Ji Yun frequently mentioned the peach blossoms on Dongshan Mountain to him, exaggerated like dancing, just wanted to coax him to see it together.

But he never once said yes.

He didn't know if it was too late to invite Ji Yun to Dongshan to enjoy the flowers.

After hearing the news, he wasn't affected too much, and his pen was still very steady, carefully and conscientiously outlining the two figures under the tree.

Under the tree, people sat and drank tea, and the flowers fell like rain, piling up on the ground beside them.

Hearing Shu Zhi's exclamation, he said rather reluctantly: "My lord, do you really want to give this painting to that one?"

Then I thought about it again, the young master quarreled with that person before, and he was unhappy for several days. In order to make that person happy, he specially drew such a painting to seek peace. Woolen cloth?

Bai Chen also stared at the person in the painting carefully, with a look of reluctance in his eyes, but said: "No."

Shu Zhi was taken aback for a moment, thinking that she had heard it wrong: "Huh?"

Bai Chen's fingertips lightly stroked the eyebrows and eyes of the person in the painting, with nostalgia in his eyes, he said in a low voice, "I can't give it to him."

Everything was in a hurry, and at the end of February, the personnel orders came down one after another.

In order to show his love for talents, Ji Yun also met a group of young talents in Zhaohui Hall and appointed them personally to show his encouragement.

Bai Chen was naturally among them.

Ji Yun looked at Bai Chen who was standing under the stage from the crown in front of her eyes and the high throne.The latter lowered his head slightly, as if to show respect in front of the Holy One.

Ji Yun had never seen him like this before, and she felt a little unspeakable discomfort in her heart.

But he immediately put it aside, and clicked down one by one according to the roster, and finally arrived at Baichen.

"Wangjun Bai's Chen is rare in talent and fame, especially good at parallel prose, and is recommended by Gao Shi... I order him to enter the Hanlin and lead the author..."

Before the long words were finished, Bai Chen suddenly came out of the crowd, took a step forward, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said: "I am not talented, and I am favored by Your Majesty. I am terrified and restless all day long. I am humble in nature and dare not enter Ziwei." Fengchi, I also hope that His Majesty will take back the order and send another minister to take up the post."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

The prime minister's concierge is the seventh-rank official.How can the power resources of the central government be comparable to those in remote places, let alone the vacancies under the emperor's sect.It should be known that as soon as Zhuo Lang came out, he would go to the three provinces and six departments of the center, which is an excellent springboard for the children of the aristocratic family to go out and enter the prime minister.

This fabled young gentleman of the Bai family, who is astonishingly talented, gave up such a blue sky ladder and refused to go. He insisted on going to the rough place. I don't know if the city is too deep, and he wants to earn his resume in the local area, or simply The skull has a bag.

Ji Yun's face also sank slightly, everyone only thought that he was slapped in the face, so he was not happy.

But Ji Yun said: "Xiao Lang has made up his mind?"

Bai Chen still cupped his hands, bowed his head and said: "The minister's intention has been decided."

In the silence, Ji Yun stared at the top of the man's head, and slowly said: "Since Xiao Lang insists on this, it's good to go to the place to practice."

Just in time for King Fufeng's death and the disappearance of power, Qiaozhou was reshuffled.Bai Chen invited himself to Qiaozhou, but Ji Yun didn't stop him, so it was right.

But he was too fast, obviously with a bit of viciousness and anger.

When you get the official position, you will step down after thanking you.

Bai Chen walked at the end, Ji Yun stared at the back, and was about to step over the threshold, and finally called someone to stop him, let him stay and talk alone.

Bai Chen turned around and walked back again.As if deliberately reminding the two of them of their identities, they still lowered their heads slightly.

Such respect and submissiveness almost made Ji Yun feel an evil fire in his heart.

"Who are you showing this picture to?" He said coldly, almost unable to restrain himself, and sneered, "You still ask yourself to be the post, don't you even care about your decency, there should be a limit to your temper."

Seeing that the other party was still indifferent, Ji Yun became more and more furious.

"Raise your head!"

Bai Chen raised his head as he said, and Ji Yun finally saw his expression clearly, but couldn't help being shocked.

The other party's eyes were red, and even his nose was red, as if he was holding back.

He said: "Your Majesty saw Chen's distressed appearance, are you satisfied?"

Ji Yun couldn't see him cry, but when he saw him cry, he felt distressed at first, and panicked: "You, you...why are you crying?"

"Your Majesty's meaning, I have explained it to Chen before, and Chen is not so blind, and continues to pester Your Majesty." Bai Chen's eyes were red, as if he was an infatuated person who had been abandoned tragically, and he refused to blame his sweetheart. Aggrieved and sad, he said: "It's just that Chen can't be near His Majesty, but he wants to watch His Majesty flirting with others, as if nothing happened. Chen's cultivation is not enough, so he can only stay away temporarily."

"Your Majesty said that Chen was self-willed and angry, and Chen accepted it. Because Your Majesty will probably never understand the weight that His Majesty has in Chen's heart."

As soon as he showed his softness and confessed his love, Ji Yun couldn't help but soften his heart.

He even thought that since he lived his life again, the harem was useless, and it would be difficult for him to have any interest in others.What if he only pampers this one?

There are all those who have stood up in the previous dynasty and later, so what is he?Besides, he already has a prince.

But such a thought fluctuated in his heart, and he finally pushed it down again.

Is he scared?

He said: "Since that's the case, go out and calm down, and come back after you figure it out."

On the day Bai Chen left Beijing, he waited for a long time under the willow tree outside the city gate.

Shu Zhi accompanied him, seeing the sun was setting and the city gate was about to close, so he whispered: "My lord, that person probably won't come."

Bai Chen didn't respond.

He was standing under the willow tree. In late spring, the willow branches had already fallen to the ground. His clothes and the weak willow branches were swaying in the wind.

Shu Zhi couldn't help but slander: "My lord is so reluctant, why bother to go out?"

After hearing this, Bai Chen finally moved his brows.

"He was such a nostalgic person, yet he killed Ji Zhun and made Li Chengnian useless," Bai Chen said softly, with a bit of bitter taste between his teeth, "He remembers everything, and he never forgets anything."

He should have suspected it long ago, but he just didn't dare to admit it, so he deceived himself.

But the other party finally showed his cold side, he could no longer deceive himself and others, and his past was laid out before his eyes.

Those who have been dusted, but people can never face the past.

He had to temporarily avoid it, to give time to the other party and to himself.

The city gate was closed, and Bai Chen finally couldn't wait for that person to appear.

Ji Yun didn't send him off in the end.

He stood on top of the tall palace, looking in the direction of the city gate from a distance.

The night wind filled his robe sleeves, sending a faint fragrance of flowers.

It was blooming somewhere, and the aroma of peach blossoms brought a little bit of beauty from the past.

It was finally blown away by the wind.

Roll up
