My country is dead again [Rebirth]

In his previous life, Xie Ruzhuo was like a little snail hiding in its shell tremblingly. When the love was strong, he stretched out his tentacles to touch it. Before anyone made any further steps, he shrank back, closed the shell, and peeped indifferently in the gap. Everything in the world.

This kind of Xie Ruzhuo is covered with sharp edges and corners all over his body, but his heart is so fragile that blood can be seen from a prick. Even so, he is only willing to hide those bloody wounds in the shell, and sometimes he will even poke and tear them pathologically until numbness.

What makes Shen Ci most happy in this life is that Xie Ruzhuo seems to have easily stuck out his hand from the shell, willing to shake out the emotions hidden inside.

The lingering warmth that Xie Ruzhuo had stroked remained on his chin, Shen Ci thought for a long time but didn't think about what to say, so he just looked down at him and smiled.

Xie Ruzhuo was full of words and wanted to teach Shen Ci a lesson, but in a blink of an eye, he saw him staring straight at him and smiling, the tenderness and sweetness in his eyes could pinch water, his breath was choked again, it was uncomfortable .

Although he knew that Shen Ci had never concealed his straightforward admiration from the very beginning, but every time he saw it, he still dared not look directly.

A person who is accustomed to hypocrisy and ruthlessness will always evade the pure sincerity of others.

I'm afraid that all of this is fake, and I'm afraid that this person will be dirty even if he gets close to him.

Xie Ruzhuo was subconsciously thinking this way, but at the same time he thought without guilt: Anyway, I have slept in the previous life, so no one can regret it, this person is mine, and the rebirth is also mine.

So he smiled back confidently, then glared at Shen Ci viciously and said: "There will be no next time, and if there is a next time, I will not care if you are beaten to death by Pei Yunjing."

Shen Ci nodded, very obedient: "Yes, I obey the order."

Xie Ruzhuo didn't get angry, and understood why Pei Yunjing was mad at Shen Ci, who looked indifferent.

"Your Majesty, someone is coming from the Queen Mother." He Xiaoman stood guard at the door, raised the curtain and winked, and said in a low voice.

This sentence brought Xie Ruzhuo back to his senses from his wild thoughts. He left behind the sentence "Take care of yourself" and followed He Xiaoman away quickly.

The night was getting dark, Xie Ruzhuo avoided the courtiers sent by the Queen Mother, and took the dark path to the north of the camp to go back. He wasn't afraid of Liu Yan'er, but he didn't want to get into trouble with Liu Yan'er after rebirth. Just hide.

Xie Ruzhuo walked in a hurry. Xie Ruzhuo was 17 years old and was thin and panting. He stopped when he saw the lights in his camp, and turned to look at the group of guards walking silently.

The man in the red flying fish suit stepped forward from the darkness and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty."

"Thank you Wei Qing for today's matter." Xie Ruzhuo's eyes are black and bright unique to young people, not clear, as if there are too many things under the dark pupils, and one can see through people's hearts at a glance, "Mr. Wei Qing Go back, don't say anything about this matter, the Queen Mother and Yuan Weng will deal with it."

"The minister will not make a sound."

In the previous life, Wei Yang was Xie Ruzhuo's indispensable right-hand man. In this life, he came to him temporarily. Xie Ruzhuo is glad that Wei Yang has not changed at all and is still available.

Xie Ruzhuo smiled, but Taohua's eyes flashed with a cold light like a blade: "When we go to Lezhou, it's time to clean up Jinyiwei."

Wei Yang heard the deep meaning in the words, but remained indifferent, bowed and saluted: "I respectfully send your Majesty off."

The people in the cabinet were eager to say hundreds of sentences after Xie Ruzhuo said a word. When they first encountered this kind of boring gourd who said a few words, Xie Ruzhuo also got bored and dragged He Xiaoman. He ran away in a hurry.

The emperor's "open resistance" to the empress dowager and the first assistant that night became known to everyone on the second day. Everyone thought that these three would make a big fuss, but they didn't expect the three to stay quietly in the tent, not even facing each other. I haven't met once, as if I don't know what happened last night.

Liu Yan'er scolded Xie Ruzhuo last night without any pain and didn't say anything more. Xie Ruzhuo could see this clearly. Liu Yan'er was waiting for Wu Xianrong's military power to fall into her hands. With this reliance, she could do well. Unscrupulous.

What surprised Xie Ruzhuo was that Sun Bingde and a group of cabinet ministers didn't make a big fuss, and passed three days in peace like this.

During these three days, Pei Yuankai agreed to allow them to settle in Lezhou and establish a new capital, and pretended to welcome the new emperor in Lezhou.But in any case, the road ahead finally has some clarity.

However, after three days, Xie Ruzhuo withdrew the idea of ​​surprise, it was impossible for them to live in peace, this was an important matter that was discussed and waited for him later.

"Nangu received a request for help from Xuanyi Mansion this morning. The grandson of the emperor is trapped in Jiaochang County. The situation is not optimistic. The grandson implores His Majesty to send troops to rescue the siege and go north to meet up."

According to the standard regulation, there should be seven people in the cabinet, but before Huizong's death, the court was in chaos, and many official positions in the court were vacant, and the cabinet also lost one person. indivual.

Now there are only four people in the cabinet, one is from Sun Bingde's hometown, and both of them have worked with Sun Bingde before, and Sun Bingde has long been the leader.

The person who spoke just now was Second Assistant Han Zhen. He and Sun Bingde had already reached a tacit understanding. Often he was the first to take the lead and Sun Bingde waited for the opportunity to move.

Before Xie Ruzhuo had time to make a dragon robe that fit well, he was still wearing the bright red round neck robe, propping his head on the table with his elbows, and staring innocently at the courtiers with wide eyes.

After Han Zhen finished speaking, Sun Bingde said unhurriedly: "The late emperor's son died early, so the emperor's grandson was established early. The emperor's eldest son is the late emperor's son, and the grandson is the eldest grandson. When the late emperor was still alive, he loved the grandson very much, as the saying goes He looks like a prince, smart and filial. Now that the grandson of the royal family is trapped in the enemy's line, it is the shame of the Great Yu, and it is only natural for the imperial court to send troops to take him north."

Sun Bingde was afraid that Xie Ruzhuo would not know how he came to be the throne, but Xie Ruzhuo smiled inwardly: Sun Bingde is also really good at Xie Mingting's ineffective thing, and he boasted blindly with his eyes closed.

"The grandson of the emperor has a high status and is still young. If I wait to see death and refuse to save him, I will make people laugh at me. At that time, the hearts of the people will be lost, and there will be no benefit at all."

"It is already a disgrace for me to lose the capital of Dayu. If the royal grandson dies at the hands of the rebels again, what face will there be? Besides, there are half the strength of the three major battalions protecting the emperor's grandson. Going north together is considered a little lacking." Soldiers worry."

As soon as Yu Liangqian and Cheng Jingmo, who were in charge of fanning the flames, finished speaking, Xie Ruzhuo wanted to laugh even more. Why didn't I see these people so angry when the country was subjugated?There is also less worry about lack of troops, half of the troops will stay in Xuanyi Mansion for ten days and a half months, what ghosts are left?

Even the largest camp can't reproduce the appearance of going to court in Pingdu, so now all the officials standing in the camp are officials of the third rank and above, all of them holding their breath, taking a few peeks at the indifferent Sun Bingde, and then peeking a few times at the calm and calm Sun Bingde. Laughing emperor.

At this time, the cabinet's proposal to bring back the emperor's grandson was to warn the new emperor not to do what he did not listen to persuasion three days ago.

The reason why the cabinet is willing to support Xie Ruzhuo's ascension to the throne is because he is poor and powerless. Once he ascends the throne, it will be up to the cabinet.Unexpectedly, the new emperor is not as obedient as imagined, in the past few days, he has learned to move rescuers and win people over by himself.

As for the current emperor, the person who is most threatening to the throne is undoubtedly the grandson of the emperor who is supposed to be enthroned. If the situation is not critical, there will definitely not be a cold prince sitting here.

Although the cabinet didn't say it clearly, every word and every word was in the heart of the emperor. Everyone was watching their noses and their noses, and they knew that the cabinet was responding to everyone's call.

"Yuan Weng and the three elders are right. Now we have the Xishan and Wanyang armies available, and Pei Yuankai is not threatening for the time being. Sending an elite army south to Chizhou for a quick battle, it will not be difficult to bring back the emperor grandson."

"The prince and concubine died young, and the grandson is lonely and helpless. It's really pitiful."

"The rebel army is rampant. Rescuing the emperor's grandson will just dampen his spirit and kill two birds with one stone."

"..."

Sun Bingde had observed Xie Ruzhuo for a long time, but found that the smile on that face was getting stronger, like a child watching a juggling act, he frowned, stepped forward and knelt down: "I implore Your Majesty to send troops to bring back the emperor grandson."

All the ministers knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please send troops to take Taisun to the north."

This incident is not unfamiliar, Xie Ruzhuo also experienced it in his previous life, but it happened later, when they entered Lezhou and had a new imperial court, everything was waiting to be done, and the cabinet was also planning how to better suppress the emperor.

At that time, Xuanyi Mansion was in danger, and Xie Mingting almost died.But Xie Ruzhuo in his previous life didn't want to send troops, he only wanted to get rid of the cabinet and the queen mother, and he didn't mind bearing the notoriety of being heartless and ungrateful.

Later, the cabinet vowed not to give up, put pressure everywhere, and pulled all the courtiers to follow him to remonstrate with him. His arms couldn't twist his thighs, so Xie Ruzhuo finally sent troops to Xuanyi Mansion to bring Xie Mingting to Lezhou.

After a few years, Xie Ruzhuo knew that it was impossible for him to marry a wife and have children in his life, so he let go of his grudges and devoted himself to teaching Xie Mingting, making him the crown prince and letting him take over.

In this life, due to an accident regarding Shen Ci, the cabinet was in crisis before it even arrived in Lezhou, so they took this opportunity to force him to take Xie Mingting back in advance.

The same thing, but Xie Ruzhuo has a completely different mind.

He looked lazily at the ministers kneeling on the ground with his face upturned. Obviously, he was ready to fight him to the end.

"What is Yuan Weng doing? Please get up quickly." Xie Ruzhuo blinked his eyes twice, pretending to be in a panic, "Isn't it just to bring back the grandson of the emperor? There are not many relatives left, Mingting is my My nephew, is there any reason not to save him?"

Xie Ruzhuo clearly saw that the expression on Sun Bingde's face became stiff, and then shattered like when the river bed melted in spring. He became more excited and acted more realistically. When I first left Pingdu, I was thinking about Ming Ting, so many days have passed, I feel very worried when I think of his life or death, and I have long planned to send troops south to bring back Ming Ting."

Behind Sun Bingde, everyone's expression was exactly the same, with their mouths slightly open and frozen, and they became stone figures together with Shoufu.

It was the first time that Xie Ruzhuo, who found it very interesting to play tricks and tricks with the courtiers, was not feeling well now, he had to keep a grief-stricken face on his face, tremble with laughter in his heart, and hold back his illness even if he was not sick.

Now even Sun Bingde was dumb, and they couldn't have expected such a result.

How could the emperor agree to take back the emperor's grandson so easily?

Even if a three-year-old child knows that the grandson of the emperor is coming to steal his belongings, why would he show some resistance?

The emperor just... just accepted it like this?

Xie Ruzhuo said with a kind smile: "Then it's settled, I will go to Lezhou to settle down in a few days, and then I will discuss with the ministers about sending troops." "Is there anything else you want to announce?"

No one pays attention to him.

Xie Ruzhuo stood up, swayed out with his hands behind his back: "Since there is nothing else, I'm going to eat first."

Playing tricks with an emperor who has lived for almost 50 years?

Just now, Xie Ruzhuo's mood was like that during the holidays, the elders kindly watched a group of three-year-old children grab candy in front of him, full of childish fun.

Besides, in this life, he is really eager to take Xie Mingting back as soon as possible, so that he can put down his picks and do something truly meaningful when someone takes over.

For example, to tease General Shen.

After dinner, Xie Ruzhuo changed into a black riding outfit, took advantage of the darkness, and slipped to the camp of the guards under the cover of He Xiaoman.

Shen Ci is recuperating recently.

That day, Xie Ruzhuo promised Pei Yunjing to punish him with fifty military sticks, and it was not easy to go back on his word, so the military sticks were really hit, and he heard that Pei Yunjing let Du Xun watch over the execution, the fifty sticks were hit very hard, and the injuries were not light.

Therefore, because he was injured, General Shen should come to visit him himself, so he had no other ideas.

The tent where Shen Ci lived was a bit remote, but it saved him the trouble of being surrounded by people. He raised a corner of the tent to look inside, and saw that there were candles burning inside.

It was cool at night, but Shen Ci was wearing a thin white undershirt, with only a robe casually draped over his shoulders, sitting cross-legged on a simple wooden bed and looking down at a book.

His sword eyebrows stretched out, his long eyelashes drooped quietly, and he flapped his fans from time to time. The halo of the candlelight cast a swaying shadow on his lower eyelids. Gentle and docile.

Xie Ruzhuo walked in as lightly as possible, but Shen Ci noticed it immediately. When he turned his head to look over, his eyes were cold. When he saw clearly, he immediately retracted and wanted to get off the bed in a panic. On his lips: "General Shen, you don't need to be too polite, I came here secretly, don't alarm outsiders."

Shen Ci was surprised: "Why did Your Majesty come out secretly?"

Xie Ruzhuo fixed his gaze on Shen Ci's half-discovered collarbone, grinned, and said, "Of course we have private meetings at night."

Shen Ci: "..."

Xie Ruzhuo in this life is a little obedient, and also a little... wavering.

Xie Ruzhuo sat on the stool beside the bed, looked at the book in Shen Ci's hand, it was a military book, it was boring, he looked at Shen Ci's face again, except for the very glaring welt on the left cheek, his expression didn't feel that Pale, he asked, "Is General Shen's injury better?"

Unlike Xie Ruzhuo who can fall down when the wind blows, Shen Ci has always been in good health. The stick injury on his back will not affect his walking and doing things after three days of rest. His face looks healthier than Xie Ruzhuo. He nodded and said: "It's already It's all right, thank you Your Majesty for caring."

Xie Ruzhuo looked down and caught a glimpse of the whip marks protruding from the slanted jacket, his eyes rolled around, and he reached out and quickly opened the jacket, making Shen Ci almost jump up in fright.

The well-proportioned and thin skin was exposed, and the welts that had begun to scab were intertwined on the fair-skinned chest. Apart from Xie Ruzhuo's heartache, some secret desires also surfaced.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Shen Ci pulled up his clothes, his ears turned red, "I'm really fine."

Xie Ruzhuo let out an "oh", with a gentle and innocent expression, as if he wasn't the one who belittled others just now.

"Give this medicine to General Shen." Xie Ruzhuo took out a medicine bottle from his bosom, put it beside the bed, pointed to his left cheek, "General Shen is so beautiful, I will feel bad if it is ruined."

Shen Ci's ears were completely red at this time, he randomly took the medicine bottle, looked around for a while and didn't know where to put it, so he could only put it back in embarrassment, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Facing Xie Ruzhuo in this life, Shen Ci really couldn't figure it out, he couldn't guess what he was going to do next, and his heart was fluttering.

He didn't dare to look at Xie Ruzhuo too much, the black clothes were what Xie Ruzhuo wore most often in his previous life, this one was still a capable riding outfit, with a narrow waist around it, showing him his attractive and sharp lines.

Just as he was distracted, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly grabbed his hand, and said softly: "General Shen, you must be safe, I can only trust you in the future, you are fine..."

Xie Ruzhuo's voice carried a hint of uncertain struggle, as if he had struggled for a long time or was defeated by the grievance in his heart, so he said this.

Shen Ci sullenly thought about whether it was Sun Bingde or Liu Yan'er this time, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Xie Ruzhuo's teardrops rolled in his red eyes: "They...they forced me to take back the emperor's grandson...that I am not a legitimate son, that my name is not right...I didn't say no, but they pressed me every step of the way. ... They are not satisfied with me, how I do it, and when the emperor grandson comes, they will definitely dislike me even more..."

"Your Majesty, don't, don't cry..." Xie Ruzhuo said, tears fell like broken beads, Shen Ci panicked and didn't know what to do, "Your Majesty has done a good job, don't worry about them. Your Majesty will have many courtiers on your side, so don't be afraid of them."

Xie Ruzhuo nodded obediently while still shaking his shoulders and sobbing.

During the day, Xie Ruzhuo calmly agreed to take back the emperor's grandson, smiling a little chicly and happily. At night, he cried to Shen Ci and complained that he was forced by everyone. He said happily in his heart: If Sun Bingde and others come here to take a look, I'm afraid I can foam at the mouth with anger.

How could he let Shen Ci know that he was very voluntary about this matter?

We must seize the opportunity to let General Shen coax him, feel sorry for him, and then love him even more.

Shen Ci didn't know that he had been tricked, and had already scolded those people all over the place. They were even more rampant in this life, and they couldn't hold back before they arrived in Lezhou.

Looking at Xie Ruzhuo, who only dared to hide here and cry, Shen Ci was really distressed. Right now, the closest person to Xie Ruzhuo should be the Queen Mother, but this mother is not a normal person. People say.

"Your Majesty, no matter what happens, I will always stand by your side." Shen Ci pulled the clean sleeve of his robe and wiped Xie Ruzhuo's tears, "I am willing to do anything for Your Majesty."

Xie Ruzhuo looked directly at Shen Ci through the mist in front of him: "Why do I want you to do bad things?"

Shen Ci said softly: "In the eyes of the minister, what His Majesty asks the minister to do is not bad, and the minister can't ask for it."

Xie Ruzhuo leaned on the edge of the bed with one hand, stood up half straight and approached him, looked down coldly, as if wanting to enclose this man in his territory and possess him forever, and said domineeringly: "General Shen, you must be loyal to me for the rest of your life."

"Yes, I will be loyal to His Majesty for the rest of my life." Shen Ci's deep eyes looked back without blinking, and the hot breath from his mouth sprayed on Xie Ruzhuo's neck, and the ambiguous breath made his eyes stained with possessive desire .

Satisfied, Xie Ruzhuo raised his lips and smiled: "General Shen, we are too close."

Shen Ci: "..."

Didn't you insist on coming here?
