After the emperor is reborn, he just wants to be a salted fish

Three months after Yu Wenjin's death, Prince Yu Wenji officially ascended the throne and became the new emperor of Great Liang.

Before that, what Yu Wenjin explained in the letter to He Jin had already been completed.The most important one is the matter of Zou Yue.

Maybe Zou Yue's gang will feel that Zou Yue was wronged, or they will try to rescue him from the dungeon.But after Xuanyuanzheng returned to the capital, he went to the sky prison, and not long after he came out, Zou Yue died.

The charge is: committing suicide in fear of crime.

As for the truth, who? Didn't ask? Who? Didn't dare to ask?.Now the capital is no longer the capital that the captain can control with one hand, he is dead, and no one cares about the truth of other things.

As for the group of them who wanted to stand up, it was impossible.Those who obey Yu Wenji can live, but those who dare to be an enemy of Yu Wenji and question him? Those who are too young to be emperor? All die in the next few nights.

The executor of this matter is Xuanyuan Zheng, who was named "Marquis of Jing'an" not long ago.

After that, Pingnan Wang Xiao Dingzhang quickly discussed with Yan Ci and Xuanyuan Bo, and arranged for suitable people to take their place.

After this change in the capital, everyone acted quickly without any delay, the rebellion was cleared out, the new emperor ascended the throne, the imperial palace and the imperial barracks were purged, and the order of the palace was also? People who used to work under Zou Yue and had dirty hands and feet were eliminated one by one.

In just a few months, everything seemed to be back to normal.

Kyoto is still prosperous, and the turmoil that was expected to be caused by the sudden death of the emperor has not happened.All possible changes are resolved by the people, and the rest of the small things have their own rules and they deal with them.

Another month later, the depths of winter had arrived, and the capital was snowed heavily, covering the entire city of Kyoto in white overnight.Looking around, the eyes are full of whiteness.

At the original site of Qingfeng Temple that was burnt into ruins, there was a man in black clothes standing there regularly.

Everything in the palace was busy before, but the Qingfeng Palace, which has become a ruin, has not had time to repair it. Now that winter is coming and it is covered with heavy snow, it will not be cleaned up until the beginning of spring.

Xuanyuanzheng stood in the heavy snow, dressed in black, extremely eye-catching.

I don't know how long he has been standing here alone. I only know that his drooping hands are red from the cold, and his face is icy cold. Even if he blinks, he can feel the lashes on his eyelashes. the chill.

He? He let out a breath, spit out some white mist, and then slowly dissipated.

There was the sound of footsteps stepping on the snow behind him.

Xuanyuanzheng glanced back, the person who came was Pingnan Wang Xiao Dingzhang who had settled down in the capital.In order to fulfill Yu Wenjin's last words, Xiao Dingzhang discussed with his wife that before Yu Wenji turned 14 years old, he would live in Kyoto, and his confidant and his wife's elder brother would take care of the southern fiefdom. .

Xiao Ding Zhang walked to his side, and then stood still: "Master Hou has been standing here for nearly two hours, isn't it cold?"

Xuanyuanzheng was still looking at the ruins covered by heavy snow in front of him, which used to be Yu Wenjin's bedroom.

He? He just said lightly: "Is the prince okay?"

"It's nothing? It's just that you were here when the king came to the palace to help His Majesty with his homework. Now it's over. I passed by here and saw that Lord Hou was still here, so I came to ask? Ask?"

"what?"

"Ask? Why does Lord Hou always stand here?"

"..." Xuanyuan Zheng frowned, but did not answer their question.

Xiao Dingzhang actually knew that Xuanyuanzheng came here because he missed Yu Wenjin, but now this place is just a ruin, there is nothing left, he? Even the dead Yu Wenjin who stands here every day? is not coming back.

If Yu Wenjin knew that he was always standing here so stupidly, he would definitely make fun of him.

But Xiao Dingzhang did not.

They? Also? Not qualified.

The two stood side by side, looking at the snow together, speechless for a while.

I don't know how long, Xuanyuanzheng said, "Your Majesty... have you finished the matter that the late emperor asked the lord? Is there anyone who needs my help?"

Xiao Dingzhang was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head lightly: "The late emperor explained everything clearly in the letter to He Jin. Over the past few months, it has almost been completed. Actually..."

Xuanyuanzheng glanced at him: "Actually what?"

"Actually, this king feels that the first emperor seemed to know everything, even including the date of his death. Otherwise, how could he? Then, by coincidence, he explained everything well, and mentioned in the letter that he must ?', the situation in Kyoto must be stabilized."

"What do you mean?" Xuanyuan Zheng didn't quite understand what he said.What's the point? It's straight-forward, but why the words are still beating around the bush, so I have to change this kind of polite way of speaking.

He? Can't understand.

Xiao Ding Zhang said again: "To put it simply, the first emperor knew everything, but he originally had a more direct and brutal way to stabilize the court situation, but he chose another way. So that Later, none of them could witness with their own eyes what Kyoto looks like after being stabilized."

Xiao Dingzhang looked at Xuanyuanzheng: "Master Hou and the first emperor have also been together for a while, so you should know that he doesn't want to hurt innocent people, and he doesn't like to kill people, but sometimes, he has to do that ...If they had chosen the most direct method of killing at the beginning, maybe... things would be much simpler, and they might not die, but they would die a lot under that method. How many people?"

"I heard that the late emperor's mother hoped that the late emperor could be a good emperor. Perhaps, the late emperor chose the more difficult path to fulfill his mother's wish. Or..."

"It's them? They have too much? Too much? They are involuntary and powerless about the situation in Kyoto."

"..."

Xuanyuanzheng pursed his lower lip, yes, His Majesty does not want to hurt innocent people, but in this world, how can he? Be perfect at all times, and you will still do what you don't want to do in the end.

They'd rather their majesty be a person who can do whatever he wants, do whatever he wants, without too many scruples, even if he's a fool, he'd like it.Even if that kind of majesty doesn't see himself in his eyes, it doesn't matter.

As long as His Majesty lives.

But their Majesty chose that difficult road, and finally left when that road was about to see light.

Xuanyuanzheng stretched out his hand, and a few snowflakes fell into his palm.Maybe it was because his body was too cold, the snowflakes that fell on his palm didn't melt immediately, they stayed for a while, and then melted into little drops of water.

If they could? have known His Majesty's plan earlier, they would have chosen to become a sword in His Majesty's hand and an executioner without hesitation!They've killed so many people, they don't mind doing more!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why didn't you ask me to help you?

Xuanyuan Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Dingzhang looked up at the snowflakes falling slowly above his head, and said: "It's snowing again, the weather is so cold, Lord Hou, please go home early."

Xuanyuanzheng gave a "hmm" and said, "My lord, let's go first, I won't see you off."

"..."

When Xiao Dingzhang turned around, he shook his head lightly, and then strode away.

Xuanyuanzheng still stood where he was, his hands clenched into fists involuntarily.There was some resentment in his eyes, but he closed his eyes in the end, holding back the emotions that were about to surge.

When the snow started to fall heavily, Xuanyuanzheng left the ruins of Qingfeng Palace.When passing by the imperial garden, I smelled a little familiar fragrance.

He was stunned for a moment, and immediately ran over after smelling the fragrance.They thought it was a human being, but the source of the fragrance was a red plum grove.

The red plums bloom in the snow and frost, and the bright red petals are seen in a piece of white snow, which is particularly eye-catching.

The eunuch who followed him told him: "This red plum grove has been here since the construction of the imperial palace, and it blooms every winter. Although the fragrance is not heavy, it can spread far away."

Xuanyuanzheng raised his hand to pick up a plum blossom, put it under his nose and sniffed it lightly. Before that, he only knew that His Majesty had a faint fragrance, but he never knew what it was? What kind of fragrance was it.

Now I know, it is the faint fragrance of red plum.

He? Asked? "Can I? Take a branch and take it home?"

The eunuch smiled and said: "Your Majesty won't mind such trivial matters, Lord Hou will take it lightly."

Xuanyuanzheng nodded, and then folded off the red plum in his hand.

He looked at the red plum blossom petals and blinked. The marquis mansion bestowed by His Majesty was empty, why not plant some red plums after the spring.

Snowflakes slowly floated down from the sky, and in an instant, a cold wind hit. The biting wind blew the plum blossoms and ruthlessly hit people.

The eunuch reminded: "Master Hou, it's windy, it's cold here, please leave early."

"Ah."

There is heavy snow in Kyoto, and there is also snow in the south of the Yangtze River.

The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is softer.At dawn, there was still white snow everywhere, but after a while, someone took a broom to sweep the street, clearing the snow to the sides so as not to block the way of pedestrians.

During the winter festival, there are still people going to the street to set up stalls and sell goods. As soon as the sun came out, the streets began to be lively.

The sun is warmer in the afternoon, and many people come out to bask in the sun and walk around to warm up.In the streets and alleys, men, women, old and young, talking and laughing, bathed in the sun.

At the end of the alley where the Jiangnan River runs through, several dogs barked.

On the white snow, a black dog sprang out from the house, followed slowly by an old woman on crutches.

The old lady has a kind face, with a cane in her left hand and a small basket hanging on the elbow of her right hand.

She said tremblingly: "Xiao Hei, run slowly, don't worry."

The black dog glanced back at her, let out a "bark", and then ran into a secluded small yard two houses away from the old mother-in-law's house.

The old woman walked over with a smile.

In the middle of the courtyard, a man in a coarse cotton coat was sweeping the snow from the ground with a broom.In a grass nest under the eaves, there is a white duck nesting in it, looking at him with a pair of small black bean-like eyes.

After the black dog ran in, it wandered around the yard, stepped on its footprints, and finally ran to the eaves and lay down beside the big white duck, wagging its tail from side to side, seemingly very happy.

The old mother-in-law walked over with a small basket and called out to the people in the yard, "Cheng Jin."

Hearing this, the man in the courtyard turned around. He had a gentle face and handsome eyebrows as picturesque.

Under the warm winter sun, a smile overflowed from his eyes, and the smile quickly spread across his face.

"Eh."

A soft sound, mixed with a smile and tenderness.

Then, there was a wind.
