Emperor's Trophy

The emperor established the Military Plane Department, apparently to attack the military system, and the person in charge was Zhang Yan, the former counselor of Princess Dingxiang and the well-known Tsing Yi military officer.

The imperial court was shaken by the newly established Military Aircraft Office. The cabinet prime ministers were tossed and tossed because of their power being separated. The vassal kings all received secret reports from the mansion newspaper and the spies they had placed in the capital, and summoned counselors to discuss countermeasures.

Some see erosion, some see opportunity, some see risk, and some see power.

Yun Zhen didn't know how countless people would interpret behind his back when he sent Zhang Yan.He still goes to the palace to study on time every day, still keeps a low profile, turning a blind eye to the complicated eyes of all the students.

Zhu Jiang was not there, so he simply stayed in the Wenxin Hall for the imperial meals most of the time. After the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department, Ji Bingyuan stayed in the side hall for several days to discuss matters with several military ministers, and often returned to the hall after the meal time.

He specifically told Yun Zhen to eat by himself.

Yun Zhen ate the small stove of the palace, so he naturally relished it.But he saw the green pine again.Seeing him, Qingsong fell to her knees: "Your Majesty knows about the crimes committed by the servants, and they have already punished them. Thanks to His Majesty's grace, they are still in Tiren Palace."

Yun Zhen raised his eyebrows, quite surprised, and asked him: "What about your master?"

Qingsong said: "Master will fine you a salary for one year, and you will be degraded and retained."

Seeing him tearing up, Yun Zhen thought it was funny, and teasingly asked him about his hometown, knowing that he was sold out since he was a child, and he didn't remember anything about his family for a long time, so he had some pity and rewarded him A lot of silver porridge, after eating with relish, went back to sleep in the side hall.

When teaching in the afternoon, Zhu Jiang was not there, Yunzhen sat in the corner and listened to the class, thinking that it would take another three years, the emperor appointed the crown prince, so there was no need to come to the palace to study again, because Bei Qi The army of the clan pressed down on the border and went down to three cities in a row, and the border was in a hurry.

At that time, the emperor was in charge of the conquest, and the prince supervised the country.The first life was Ji Huaiqing, and the second life was Ji Huaisu.

After that, Ji Bingyuan repelled the army of the Northern Wedge, and the Northern Wedge had to sue for peace.But later Ji Bingyuan was injured on the battlefield and disappeared. The country cannot live without a king. He also signed a peace treaty with the Beiqi tribe, allowing the Beiqi tribe to pay tribute and compensation every year, so the world will be peaceful.

Then he died.

No matter which life, the newly appointed Crown Prince swears in front of the Minister of Military Aircraft that he is only an interim monarch and must find the former Emperor Ji Bingyuan.

But no one came back.

There are veterans who say that your majesty is a hero who was poisoned by a poisoned arrow on the battlefield, and the chronic poison flares up from time to time. , It is also said that the emperor was shot by the assassins of Beiqi with poisonous crossbow arrows and died, but the body was not found, so he dared not mourn.

These rumors all have one thing in common, that is, the emperor was poisoned on the battlefield.

Yun Zhen touched his writing brush, as if he was concentrating on listening to the class, but actually he was thinking about it, so the two generations, the emperor probably established the military aircraft department at this point, and he must have detected the changes of the Beiqi tribe long ago, right?

He clumsily used what later generations saw to push Ji Bingyuan's thoughts backwards. The world has not been peaceful for many years, but in the past few years, the weather has been smooth and the people have lived fairly well. It is an excellent entry point to rectify the military system and gather the military power of the vassals.

It's just that in the previous two lives, the emperor didn't want Zhang Yan from him. In the two lives, Zhang Yan handed over the work in hand with the Hou Mansion and returned to his hometown after the mourning period was over.

Only the emperor in this life suddenly wanted someone with him.

The reason is probably because when he was looking at those ducks, he confessed that Zhang Yan didn't like himself, and his ambition was not rewarded, right?

The emperor is pity?

He was thinking wildly, but he didn't know that Scholar Mei above finally finished his long lecture, arranged another strategy, and walked away tremblingly.

He was just about to pack his pen bag and prepare to go home, when there was a flower beside him, but Ji Huaisu sat beside him, and asked him with a smile: "Recently, a new cook came to my house, who can cook Jiangnan cuisine well. I heard that Marquis Yun I like to eat Jiangnan cuisine, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to invite Lord Yun to my house tonight for a drink or two?" Former Zhaoxin Hou Yuntanhua is from Jiangnan, and I heard that he eats Jiangnan cuisine.

Yun Zhen raised his eyes to look at him. For some reason, Ji Huaisu seemed to be seen through by those dark and clear eyes. His whole body felt weak for a while, and he almost turned his eyes away for a moment. Fortunately, he calmed down and smiled firmly. looked over.

Yun Zhen lowered his eyelashes and said, "Thank you Mr. Huai Su, I have made arrangements for tonight."

Ji Huaisu lowered his head to look at him, with clear eyes: "Mr. Yun is good at archery. I think he has great ambitions. Huai Su also has some questions about archery. I would like to ask Master Yun for advice."

Yun Zhen didn't want to hear it.

He had heard that in the past Ji Huaisu was reticent, so he didn't speak much to him, but because of the few words, the promise was extremely precious.

For example, the harmony between the monarch and his ministers is like fish and water, and they treat each other like brothers and sisters.

In fact, he gave himself a cup of "Huangliang End" just after he ascended the throne. It was just a dream of the monarch and his ministers.

Yun Zhen stuffed the pen, ink and other things into the cloth bag and stood up, Qingsong had rushed over from the outside a few steps with great interest, took his cloth bag, and sent Yun Zhen out with his hands.

Sitting in the seat, Ji Huaisu felt a sense of loss for some reason.

He repeated countless words that he was confident could touch the other party's heart, but the other party didn't want to hear a single word.But even so, he was full of pity for him.

Is it because you know your predicament and no one can help you out?He worked so hard to practice one-handed archery, but under the imperial power, he had no choice but to give up the people his mother left for him to protect himself.

Ji Huaisu had never thought of contacting or longing for such a person so much.

He felt that he could understand him, and he deserved to resonate with himself.

Those who can't get what they ask for, those who can't achieve their ambitions, those who struggle and grow under the huge shadow of the huge relationship between father and son, monarch and minister, and those sleepless nights burned by the burning ambition in the heart, only Yun Zhen can understand.

He stood up, his eyes drooping, hiding his ambition and possessiveness.

Yun Zhen, he's going to make a deal.

In fact, Yun Zhen can't be relieved, but he has learned to stay away from people and things that make him unhappy, whether it is Zhu Jiang who is likely to have secretly communicated with his cousin when he was recuperating this time, or this superficially calm heart. But ambitious Ji Huaisu.

Zhu Jiang has no heart, but Ji Huaisu's heart is too big, the kind of big that pretends to be the world.

He Yunzhen can't afford it.

Yesterday is not today, those utilitarian powers and powers that he looked down on at the beginning have now become the only basis for his survival.

He has his own things to do, and he is no longer the little prince who puts all of himself on other people's lives and achievements to win others' love.

Zhu Jiang, however, was recuperating in the room and was almost suffocating. She found a servant and sent him to Zhaoxinhou's mansion to invite Yunzhen when school was over, but they were all in vain for several days.

Zhu Jiang was so angry that she scolded the servants for not knowing how to do things. After thinking for a while, she came to Fang Luyun: "Go to Zhaoxinhou's Mansion to find out, what has Lord Yun been up to lately? Just say that it's too boring for me to recuperate in the mansion." , beg him to take pity on me, and come and see me when he has time."

Fang Luyun was always reticent and didn't say much, he just nodded in response and went out.

Not long after, he arrived at Zhaoxinhou's mansion, but he was in vain, he thought for a while and gave the door a few copper coins, and asked him to go in and pass a message.

Not long after, Linghu Yi came out, seeing Fang Luyun, his eye circles were slightly red, but there was nothing wrong, he just asked indifferently: "Master Hou is not in the mansion today, come back tomorrow if you have something to do."

Fang Luyun said: "Our fourth master is recuperating at home and is bored all day long. I want to ask Master Hou to come over and talk. I'm sorry if you have time to pass a message to Master Hou."

Linghu Yi said coldly: "I can't see Lord Hou these days, so I can't help you, sorry."

Fang Luyun looked at him again, and noticed that he had lost a lot of weight, so he didn't say anything, just cupped his hands slightly: "Just pay attention, thank you." After speaking, he turned around and left.

Seeing him turn around and leave, Linghu Yi bit his lip, and suddenly said: "Master Hou likes to listen to music recently, first he called a few famous music troupes to come to the house to sing, but he didn't like it, he has been in the city for the past few days I lingered around the major bands and heard almost all the famous pieces.”

Fang Luyun turned his head and bowed to him again: "Thank you." Linghuyi seemed to be still explaining: "I usually come back late at night, and I don't go back to the study. Now, if you want to find Master Hou, you can only go to Lefang."

Fang Luyun took a deep look at him: "Understood."

"Listen to the music?" Zhu Jiang said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Zhen has forgotten me, and went to have fun by himself." Suddenly, he was a little suspicious: "Is there someone else coming in front of Brother Zhen?" Gone?" Thinking that someone might replace him and become a dandy partner who is having fun by Yunzhen's side, he suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, as if a hundred cats were scratching in his heart: "Have you inquired about it?"

Fang Luyun said calmly: "I went to a few bands that Lord Hou often went to and inquired about. Lord Hou always went there alone, with only his entourage, and he just listened to the music. He often played the most famous pieces in one breath. I listened to them all, or took turns to listen to the best singers, and I didn’t eat much, and the band said that Lord Hou probably just likes to listen to music and relax.”

Hearing that there was no one, Zhu Jiang was relieved, but she was still a little puzzled: "I have never seen brother Zhen like listening to music before. Could it be that he has been in mourning for a few years and is suffocated?" Fang Luyun said: "Is it possible? Is there any errand for Lord Hou to handle? Isn’t the holy birthday coming soon? I see that Lord Hou is looking for famous bands, opera troupes, and singers this time around. Maybe he is choosing a music troupe to congratulate the emperor. life?"

Zhu Jiang suddenly cheered up: "Very good! Brother Zhen was thinking about how to celebrate the emperor's birthday!" He was overjoyed, and glanced at Fang Luyun, extremely satisfied with what he had done. In order to understand Yunzhen's surroundings, he asked this person by chance. After using it these days, he felt that everything was in order, he was a man of few words, and he was a stable person who could hide things. The moon will add moon silver to you."

There was no complacency on Fang Luyun's face, he just saluted neither humble nor overbearing: "Thank you, young master, for your reward."

Zhu Jiang became more and more satisfied: "In this way, I should also get ready. You should also inquire carefully. Where there are novel songs and plays, no matter what, just report it. When the time comes, I will give it to Brother Zhen. idea to go."

Fang Luyun bowed his head in response and retreated. Zhu Jiang was lying on the bed, wondering why Yunzhen didn't come to see her, and worried that if he continued to recover from his injuries, those people in the school would definitely crowd around Brother Zhen to serve him. Flattery, but I have alienated the friendship that I have grown up since I was a child. For a while, I thought that now that I am ordered to have fun, I can play with Yun Zhen wholeheartedly, but what if Brother Zhen doesn't want to?

All these thoughts arose, which made him very troubled and entangled for several days.

But Yun Zhen still didn't see him.
