My country is dead again [Rebirth]

Ever since he heard that Shen Ci had set off for Lezhou, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't hide the smile on his brows, and when he saw Sun Bingde in the daytime, he could care about Shoufu's body.

The imperial decree for the appointment of Jin Yiwei's new commander was just sent out yesterday, and Wei Yang, who accepted the decree, went to the palace to express his gratitude as usual.

Xie Ruzhuo expected Sun Bingde to agree with Wei Yang as the commander of Jinyiwei.Wei Yang's biological father was the deputy general of the previous Wanyang General Soldier, who died in battle and sacrificed his life for the country, and his mother was Dayu's secret agent who secretly lurked in the Qiang tribe, and also died for the country. She is a loyal queen known all over the world.Wei's family and Wanyang Song's family have in-laws. Wei Yang grew up in Song's family, and was told by Song Qingge's father that he was loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Even Sun Bingde couldn't find fault with such a person.

Therefore, if Wei Yang hadn't been wearing a flying fish suit, no one would think he was Jin Yiwei when he was walking on the road. He seemed to have the word "positive" written on him from head to toe, and his behavior was a bit too strict, but because he was too taciturn, his expression was too rigid. Less, it does make people naturally shy away.

Xie Ruzhuo looked down at Wei Yang who was kneeling on the ground: "I just want to say, Jin Yiwei is loyal to the emperor, not me. When I stop sitting here, Jin Yiwei will be loyal to whoever sits here."

The emperor who was only 17 years old said such words that seemed to be dying, and another person was terrified, but Wei Yang's eyes didn't change a bit, he nodded and said: "I know."

Xie Ruzhuo played with the newly engraved private seal, rubbed his fingertips across the bottom ravine, and said, "The second son of the Song family is in Jinyiwei, right? I remember correctly, he is called Song Qinglai? After all, he is called your uncle."

The late Song Zongbing of the Song family in Wanyang and Mrs. Yuan Pei gave birth to Song Qingge. After Yuan Pei passed away, she married Wei Yang's sister as a continuation and gave birth to a son, Song Qinglai.

Unlike Song Qingge, who was obedient and sensible since he was a child, the second son, Song Qinglai, was lawless. If his elders told him to go east, he would definitely go west. He couldn't stay in the school, and the military camp was tossed by him so that anyone who saw him would run away. Mr. Song had a headache for his son during his lifetime.

After Wei Yang entered the Jinyiwei, Mr. Song thought about it and threw the 17-year-old Song Qinglai to the Jinyiwei. Now, under the eyes of the emperor, can he turn the world upside down?

After Mr. Song died of illness, Song Qingge was busy with frontier military affairs, seeing Song Qinglai, the ancestor's heavy responsibility was all on Wei Yang's shoulders.

Rao Wei Yang and other people with little expression, Xie Ruzhuo could clearly see him frowning when he heard Song Qing coming.

It seems that the second son of Song Dynasty has not made any progress in these years, which is still a headache.

Wei Yang replied: "Yes. I'm working as deputy Qianhu in Beizhen Fusi."

The seal knocked on the table and made a soft sound, Xie Ruzhuo said: "Propose him as a thousand households, you just took over, you still need a few of your own people to help."

Wei Yang kowtowed politely: "I am here to thank the Lord for your kindness on behalf of Qing."

Xie Ruzhuo waved him back, thinking of Song Qing brought back many memories of his previous life, and he sighed several times.

When it was time to eat lunch, He Xiaoman entered the palace after finishing his work from the East Factory. In front of the palace gate, the minister who was serving hurriedly grabbed him and whispered in his ear. Let's go to Xie Ruzhuo's food first.

Sure enough, as the minister said, Xie Ruzhuo ate a simple meal of meat and vegetables. The meat dishes were still eye-catching, and the vegetarian dishes were as light as being fished out of white water. The bowl of rice was the most eye-catching. It was the brown rice that ordinary people would choose to throw away. .

"How does Your Majesty eat this?" He Xiaoman held Xie Ruzhuo's wrist to prevent him from eating any more, "Who delivered the meal today?"

Xie Ruzhuo swallowed the food in his mouth, looked up at him, and said with a smile: "I want to eat it myself, don't blame the people below."

He Xiaoman couldn't understand: "Why does Your Majesty do this?"

There are still unpeeled chaff in the brown rice, the mouth is as hard as a stone, and it is difficult to digest if you eat too much. The bowl in front of Xie Ruzhuo is only half a bowl. He lowered his eyes and smiled again: "I don't know Sun Bingde, Han Zhen, there are other people who can eat good food at home every day, anyway, I can't eat it."

He Xiaoman was so startled that his heart jumped violently, and he remained silent.

Xie Ruzhuo's smile turned into self-mockery: "Don't look at how everyone is planning to go south day and night, planning to return to the old capital. It will take three to five years. It doesn't even take that long, it may only take one year After half a year, when they get used to the prosperity of Xindu, they will forget Pingdu and don’t want to go back.” He sighed and shook his head, “But I can’t forget. I still have to do these things after all, and no one can replace them.” Got it."

They stayed in Lezhou for a full ten years in their previous lives. Among those who followed them to the north, some buried their bones here, some forgot the reason for coming here in Lezhou’s debauchery, and some waited until the day they could return to Pingdu but hesitated. go back.

Human nature is like this, it is difficult to think of danger in peace.

Xie Ruzhuo in this life doesn't want to become such a heartless and desireless emperor in the end, but he still has to carry the burden. Xie Mingting is only eight years old. If he doesn't do these things, who else can do them?

For Xie Ruzhuo at the age of 17, none of the memories left to him in Pingdu are good. He has never seen how bustling the streets are, how exquisite the lanterns are on the Lantern Festival, and the sound of the piano in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion. How wonderful, he only remembered the desolate palace, the cold eyes of contempt, and the pain of his mother's thin red nails piercing his scalp.

But he is the emperor, he wants to force himself to remember everything about Pingdu, and bring everyone back there.

Xie Ruzhuo shook his head, then laughed at Yanyan, and asked He Xiaoman: "Have you eaten with me?"

He Xiaoman replied "No", he said again: "Well, Banban don't eat this meal, your stomach is not good, eating this will make your stomach hurt."

"Didn't Your Majesty often have stomach pains when he was a child?" He Xiaoman saw Xie Ruzhuo eating the brown rice bit by bit, "It's better to eat less food that is not easy to digest."

Xie Ruzhuo said with a smile: "That was before the age of 12! After I was with me, I ate every meal obediently, and it didn't hurt anymore." He tugged on He Xiaoman's sleeve, "Banban will see the imperial physician again, Cured the stomachache."

He Xiaoman said: "It doesn't hurt anymore, Your Majesty don't need to worry."

After eating more than half of the small bowl of brown rice, and half of the two dishes, Xie Ruzhuo put down his chopsticks and pouted, "I won't eat."

That expression obviously felt that it was not tasty, and He Xiaoman couldn't help laughing: "Do you still dare to eat that night?"

"Isn't it because I don't have the habit of eating?" Xie Ruzhuo hugged He Xiaoman and rubbed against him like a child, "I'm determined to eat, and it's useless to persuade you to accompany me."

After eating this kind of food for ten years in the previous life, he stopped eating it when he returned to Pingdu. He didn’t eat it for 20 years. Xie Ruzhuo was really not used to it for a while. The brown rice made his throat hurt a little, but he didn’t believe that he could get used to it in the previous life. This life will not work.

He Xiaoman also intended to relax the atmosphere, and said with a smile that Xie Ruzhuo didn't wipe his mouth after eating, but wiped oil on his clothes. The two laughed for a while, and the courtier outside the door bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Pei Yuankai has arrived outside the palace gate. , see Your Majesty."

"He came to thank you." He Xiaoman remembered something, "Your Majesty, perhaps Shen Jing will also come to thank you this afternoon."

Xie Ruzhuo didn't get used to the title, he said in a daze, "Who?"

He Xiaoman changed his words easily: "... General Shen."

"Oh, yes." Xie Ruzhuo became a little irritable, and said to the courtier: "If Shen Ci arrives in the afternoon and Pei Yuankai doesn't leave, let him go directly to the Ministry of War to get the documents, and Xie En will be spared."

The minister responded, turned and left.

In order to temporarily win over the Pei family, Xie Ruzhuo agreed to the cabinet's proposal and named Pei Yuankai the crown prince.Pei Yuankai's official position is the governor's job, the second rank, and the imperial envoy guarding Cangzhou as the general army officer, which is almost at the top among generals.After the Taizu, the third prince's division was a false title, and it was used as a posthumous gift, adding and donating officials. There are very few people who can be awarded the position of the prince's three divisions alive, so this time, unless Pei Yuankai can be granted a title , It is really unsealable.

The position of civil servants has always been higher than military generals, but now there is an unsealable military general. To show the balance between civil and military affairs, Xie Ruzhuo simply gave Sun Bingde, the Minister of Rites and a scholar of Wuyingdian University, the title of Prince Taifu.

Xie Ruzhuo's good mood was completely ruined by Pei Yuankai, so he could only take pleasure in thinking that Shen Ci could not come to see him today, and next time he could go to see Shen Ci in a low-key manner.

Very good very good.

Shen Ci, who was rushing to the palace city, also heard about the fact that the imperial court bestowed the titles of the two crown princes and three masters, but he didn't know that Pei Yuankai had entered the palace, and when he arrived in Lezhou, he first found an inn and changed into his dusty clothes , Put on the official uniform and come here.

At that time, it was Shen's time, and the minister guarding there stepped forward and asked, "Is it Shen's experience?"

Shen Ci nodded and said: "Yes, sir, I handed over the memorial, His Majesty has allowed me to enter the palace."

The minister said softly: "Pei Zongbing hasn't left yet, His Majesty told Shen Jingqing to go directly to the Ministry of War, and there is no need to enter the palace."

Shen Ci understood that it was because he was afraid that he and Pei Yuankai would run into each other, so he accepted Xie Ruzhuo's kindness and said, "Thank you, officer."

Before he had time to walk away, when Shen Ci looked up, he saw a person walking along the path towards the palace gate. Just now, the internal officer looked back at Shen Ci, and bowed to the man who came out: "Pei Zongbing Are you going back to Cangzhou?"

"The internal officials know, how can I stay in the capital for a long time, I'm leaving now."

Shen Ci happened to meet his four eyes, and the two pairs of very similar eyes clashed silently, and they separated at the touch of a touch.

It's such bad luck that I still bumped into it.

Now that we have met, facing Pei Yuankai whose rank is not known to be much higher than himself, Shen Ci naturally couldn't leave without saying hello. .”

Shen Che once told him that among Pei Yuankai's sons, the eldest son resembles Pei Yuankai the most, but in terms of facial features, he, the son who doesn't want to recognize him, is the most similar. They all have the same sword eyebrows, and their eyes are deeper than ordinary people. The outline of the face is also somewhat similar.

Calculated according to the time in this life, he and Pei Yuankai may not have seen each other so closely for many years. Pei Yuankai has always known his existence. Just by looking at his face, it is impossible for Pei Yuankai not to know him. He didn't stay on him too much, as if he saw a sudden stone while walking on the road, and turned his eyes away as if nothing had happened.

Pei Yuankai said coldly, "There's no need to be too polite." He has been in the top position for a long time, his eyes have a menacing coercion, and he has fought on the battlefield for decades. The indelible hostility in his eyes made Shen Ci unconsciously want to avoid it. Said: "Shen Ci? I remember you, the people from Yunjing."

Shen Ci lowered his head respectfully: "Boss Pei is busy with his affairs, yet he still remembers who the humble official is, and the humble official is terrified."

This was really not polite, but Pei Yuankai ignored it, and instead smiled: "Congratulations to Shen for his promotion." After speaking, he walked to the horse led by his subordinates, got on the horse, and swung his whip away.

Shen Ci didn't look back until Pei Yuankai's back disappeared, his eyes were as cold as ice, for a moment, like a wolf hunting in the dark, the fierce light in his eyes seemed to burst out, he blinked lightly, and calmed down again.
