rebirth [rebirth]

Xie Mingze was the first to come back to his senses, he took Larong Jingxuan's hand, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this matter may also be a cover for the rebels. Yesterday you and I got married, and Xiude found nothing How could it be possible to be caught by the rebels so quickly after meeting the Supreme Emperor?"

Although Xie Mingze didn't like the Supreme Emperor from the bottom of his heart, he was Rong Jingxuan's father after all, and he never saw Rong Jingxuan sad, so he naturally spoke to comfort him first.

Rong Jingxuan was quite calm, he waved his hand at Xie Mingze, his expression gradually softened.

He remembered that the last time around this time, the death knell rang in the palace.

But it was Xie Mingze who died for him at that time, because of the palace change, the palace was in chaos, Rong Jingxuan didn't know whether they knew Xie Mingze was not him Rong Jingxuan, but the death knell did indeed ring 27 times.

Now it seems that if Chen Shengzhi wants to become emperor, he must choose to end him or his father in death.

Whether that's true or not.

"I know it, and I understand it in my heart. In fact, my father has disappeared for three days. After the registration ceremony, he and Taoist Tianzhi disappeared. I guess, they may have fled for their lives long ago."

Rong Jingxuan was very calm, as if the death knell had never sounded, and continued: "The rebels have surrounded Yong'an, and there are only [-] imperial soldiers in the city. He regrets his life very much, so naturally he has to abdicate quickly and escape."

The words were a bit cold, it seemed that the Supreme Emperor was such a shameless and cowardly person, and also an incompetent father, but everyone present was very familiar with him, and after hearing Rong Jingxuan's words, they felt that what he said was reasonable .

"Okay, the death knell is ringing, Master, Mingze, let's continue." Rong Jingxuan waved to Xie Mingze, and the two continued to study.

The morning of this day was fairly peaceful. After lunch, Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze went back to the room to discuss matters.

With Xie Mingze by his side, able to advise him and accompany him through life and death, Rong Jingxuan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, not as depressed and urgent as last time.

Two people each read a book and chatted while reading.

"Mingze, I want to go directly to Fengcheng after leaving the city." Rong Jingxuan said.

He didn't like to use the word "Zhen" when there were only two of them, and he felt a little uncomfortable using the word "Zhen" in the current situation.

Xie Mingze looked at the Art of War book carefully, listened to his words and thought for a while before he said: "Your Majesty, haven't all the brave soldiers been transferred to Guangqing? Are there any remaining troops in Fengcheng?"

Xie Mingze is very clear about the transfer of the Yongwu Army. In his memory, there should be no one in the Fengcheng camp. Rong Jingxuan must have some reason to go there at this time.

After all, Fengcheng is the hometown of Empress Roujia and the foundation of the Feng family.Chen Shengzhi will definitely send troops to hunt them down, and Fengcheng is naturally the top priority.

Rong Jingxuan shook his head. He raised his head and looked outside, then leaned into Xie Mingze's ear and said, "Ning Yuanwei is still safe here, so I'll tell you the matter first. I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future."

Xie Mingze nodded seriously, and moved the stool closer to Rong Jingxuan.

Rong Jingxuan said in a low voice, "My father didn't know about this. My mother told me about it when I was a child. She said that after the founding of the country in the early years, the ancestor Gao used to let the brave army guard the former treasury."

After he finished speaking, he paused and said: "If we want to reply to the long letter again, we must have soldiers and horses. Who will serve us with their lives in this troubled world? With those gold, silver and jewels, we can recruit more soldiers. Only then can we compete with Chen Shengzhi's claim of 50 troops."

Before Xie Mingze recovered from his first sentence, he heard the second sentence.

As an emperor who was pushed down from the throne, although Rong Jingxuan was calm all day and night, he probably wasn't like that in his heart.

He does not believe in the allegiance of soldiers, nor does he accept their purposeless surrender, in other words, he does not trust anyone.

Xie Mingze directly thought of this conclusion, but when he came back to his senses, he found that Rong Jingxuan was sitting next to him, the other party was so relaxed, and seemed to trust him very much.

Maybe...he only trusts a few people in this small courtyard.

Xie Mingze always felt that Rong Jingxuan was a good prince in the past, and he will be a good emperor in the future. He felt that the ministers should be loyal to him, and the soldiers should shed blood for him as a matter of course.

But until today, he suddenly realized that Rong Jingxuan is more sober and understands people's hearts than he thought.

He was still too naive.

"If those things really exist, how can we bring them out of Fengcheng?" Xie Mingze asked back.

Rong Jingxuan was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head to think again.

He would think of going to Fengcheng first, entirely because he went to Hongdu first after he escaped from Yong'an last time.In Hongdu, there was already the old ministry of his Sixth Uncle Prince Shen, and it was a hundred miles away from Yong'an, so it was considered safe.

Later, the 3000 old troops followed him to Guangqing, where they gathered the remaining [-] troops of the brave army.In the early years of Dachen, the army was in turmoil, and when there was a severe drought in the northwest and the flood of the Mingchun River in the central part, many refugees had nowhere to go, so they had to join the army to make a living.

Rong Jingxuan barely supported [-] old and new soldiers by relying on the treasury of Prince Shen's palace.

Because of these 5 people, he was able to fight all the way to the city of Yong'an, but eventually died outside the city.

The year is not good, natural disasters continue, the common people are just trying to survive, and they are selling their lives to anyone, and those who have food are the masters.Rong Jingxuan knew this very well in his heart, he didn't ask others to mess with him, he only asked for both money and goods, mutual consent.

Although he failed that time, he learned more.

He was established as a prince when he was young, and all he learned since he was a child was the art of governing the country. Because he saw too much of his father's mediocrity, he vowed to become a good emperor when he was not high on the throne, and to be praised by everyone.

But is it so easy to be a good emperor?not really.

During that year of ups and downs, he traveled to and fro in Da Chu's former land, watching the people in poverty, because of natural disasters selling their children and daughters, their families were ruined.

At that moment, his previous obsession and belief were shattered.

What is the use of letting the people praise?The people are still hungry and homeless.

If he can return to Changxin again, he must let the people have food, clothing and homes to return to.

He wants the people of Da Chu to live and work in peace and contentment, and to live a safe life.

So this time, the first thing he considered was the legendary treasury.

With this money, he can recruit more soldiers and horses, and even if he can't, he can at least provide food and clothing for more people.

"That's just a story my mother told me when she was coaxing me to sleep. The Yongwu camp is empty now, and there are almost only logistics troops left. We may not be able to find the treasury when we go," Rong Jingxuan said, patting Xie Mingze's shoulder, "Don't worry about Mingze, we can't find the treasury, we can still find the rest of the brave army, no matter how many people there are, it's always good."

Xie Mingze was stunned for a moment. He had not had time to comfort Rong Jingxuan, but was comforted by him. He smiled helplessly, but said: "If we can leave Fengcheng, we will go straight to Guangqing, where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Contact After the Guangqing old department, perhaps we can temporarily rest and recuperate."

Rong Jingxuan smiled and praised: "As expected of Mingze, he won my heart."

What Xie Mingze thought was almost the same as what he thought last night.

They were taught by a teacher, whether it is for the political country or the deployment of troops, their ideas are always the same.

It is said to be the same, but there is a difference.

Xie Mingze is more tenacious than Rong Jingxuan, he would prefer to persevere and persevere, while Rong Jingxuan was indecisive in the past, and liked to take the edge of the sword and avoid the edge.

After going through troubled times and reviving the country, coming back from the dead, reliving a lifetime, Rong Jingxuan is not far behind, not to mention reborn.

At this moment, he is more stubborn and ruthless.

After the two talked about the general route, it was already time to light the lamps. They were waiting to go out to look for food, but suddenly there was a mess outside.The sound of messy footsteps echoed in the alley, Rong Jingxuan frowned, and subconsciously grabbed the long sword.

Xie Mingze also held the long sword, and he stood beside Rong Jingxuan with a serious expression.

There was a hasty knock on the door, and Ning Yuan's [-]th voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the rebels have started searching from house to house. There is a secret room in the main house. Please let your subordinates go in and open it."

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze looked at each other, without talking nonsense, they went straight to open the door.

Outside, stood Ningyuan Twenty, Rong Jingheng and Zhong Qi.

Rong Jingheng seemed to have just woken up, his face was bright red, he looked very tired, and he didn't look very well.

Rong Jingxuan has always been very fond of this young brother, and seeing him like this makes him feel sad, but there is nothing he can do.

Rong Jingheng was born prematurely, and he was born with a bad foundation. After being raised in the deep palace for more than ten years, he still hasn't improved, and he doesn't know if he can follow along in the future.

But if you don't leave, staying in Chang'an means death.Rong Jingxuan would rather his younger brother die of a serious illness than be tortured and killed by the rebels.

He went to help his younger brother in, and then asked Ning Yuan Twenty to open the secret passage.

Unexpectedly, the secret room is hidden behind the curtain of the carved wooden bed. As long as you lift the curtain, you can see the wooden door behind.

Rong Jingxuan just wanted to say that this place is inappropriate, but the next moment he was speechless.

I saw Ning Yuan Twenty opened the wooden door, and there was a group of cabinets inside, with many strange objects placed on it, and several people present recognized what they were at a glance.

It's nothing more than a thing of eroticism.

There are a lot of these things in the palace. Rong Jingxuan saw them a lot when he was a child, and he just found them boring and strange.

Now that he has grown up, he can't like these strange things, because his mother died young, there is no decent empress in the palace, and Rong Jingxuan is almost a weak crown today, and no one worries him about enlightenment.

He was also happy and relaxed. If he was forced to face a court lady he didn't know, he would feel uncomfortable instead.

However, he is considered to be married now... Rong Jingxuan glanced at Xie Mingze's direction, and saw that he was also looking at him. For some reason, the two blushed together, and quickly looked away.

Ning Yuan [-] seemed to be familiar with that thing, and quickly disassembled it group by group, removing the partition and the back panel, and there was a dark hole behind it.

Ning Yuan Twenty first handed Zhong Qi a bundle, and then gave them an oil lamp, then stood up and let the hole open: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't know when the outside will end, please be patient in the secret room for a while. There are blankets and food, and when people leave, the subordinates will come to invite you out immediately."

Rong Jingxuan nodded, he didn't care too much at this time, and walked down the tunnel first.

The secret room was not dug deep, but the inside was considered clean. Zhong Qi followed him down, and got busy as soon as he entered.

After the blanket was laid, the five of them also sat down in the low secret room, and Ning Yuan twenty closed the door of the secret passage.

He prepared a complete package, not only two soup ladies, but also a pot of hot soup and a few sugar cakes.Before anyone came, Rong Jingxuan asked them to eat something first.

The few people didn't pay attention at all, and quickly ate up the six sugar cakes.

Even Rong Jingheng, who was not well fed before, ate half of the meal, so he didn't need to coax him anymore.

After he finished eating, seeing the other four staring at him, he said shyly, "Brother Emperor, Brother Mingze, I know that I need to take good care of myself so that you can feel at ease. Don't worry, I understand."

Rong Jingxuan was moved and reached out to stroke his head.

At this moment, the voice of the soldier cursing suddenly came from outside.

With quick hands and feet, Zhong Qi immediately turned off the oil lamp.

The secret room was suddenly dark.

Those soldiers seemed to search around outside, and it took a long time to arrive at the master bedroom. Rong Jingxuan put his arms around his younger brother's thin shoulders with one hand, and tightly held Xie Mingze's hand with the other, his palms were sweating.

They only felt that those people were yelling and cursing endlessly, and then Ning Yuanshi stuttered and flattered them, and finally they seemed to have found the secret door, opened it with a smile and cursed, and even said a lot of obscene words in succession.

Rong Jingxuan's whole body tensed up, and he frowned, wishing he could go out immediately and fight hard.

However, at this moment, the clear chatter of the soldiers came into their ears: "Oh, let me go, then Old Man Gu is also a stubborn ass, and our sage will give him an official title, isn't it just to write an edict of guilt?" Well, as for killing himself by wiping his neck, he really doesn't know how to flatter him."

The other continued: "Isn't that right, you didn't see that the hall was covered in blood at that time, it was soaking into people."

"Tsk tsk, we haven't read the book, so we don't understand what scholars call bullshit integrity."

"Anyway, the dog emperor ran away, and he still insisted on a grandma ball, living a boring life."

The two soldiers talked to each other, and while showing off the interesting things they saw in the palace this morning, they crossed their shoulders and walked out of the main room.

In the secret room, Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze held hands that were icy cold.

What the two soldiers said just now told them many things, which made the two of them feel extremely sad in an instant.

The mentor of the two of them, the former prince and Taifu, and now the Taishi Gu Guli has committed suicide.
