Cheng Ping's legacy

Chapter 20: Reminiscence of Thousands of Miles

Not to mention the stalemate in Fenzhou and Qinzhou on Tuesday, Chang'an is peaceful and peaceful.

The battle between King Yong and the crown prince has been going on for nearly a year. Everyone in the court is busy betting on the team, from the first and second rank officials to the eighth and ninth rank swordsmen, everyone is trembling and miserable. .

Now after Zhongsi, all the clans returned to their mansions to confer land, and only King Yong was placed under house arrest in the Zongzheng Mansion.

Although there were only a few people left that day, when King Yong forced the palace, there were hundreds of clansmen who saw it in person, and there were many people. Ju Chuancai's second child already knew that they were almost inseparable.

As usual, Xuanyuan Mian was at the court, but King Yong was not mentioned at the meeting. This matter involved the clan, so the Zongzheng Mansion was in charge of it. Although the officials were concerned, they could only wait for the East Palace to announce it after the dust settled.

After the court meeting, Liu Zenbo hesitated for a moment, but went to Zhongshu Province to have an audience.

Xu knew why he came, but Zhao Zixi met him despite his busy schedule.

"I've met Zhao Xiang." No matter how many years he has been an official, Liu Zenbo still can't learn the tricks of flattery. When he sees a high-ranking official, he is neither humble nor overbearing at best, and stiff at worst.

Zhao Zixi glanced at him and said calmly, "I'm afraid Qin Pei will never come back again."

Liu Zenbo was shocked, and raised his head in disbelief, "What did he do? Is he still alive?"

Zhao Zixi didn't say much, but shook his head solemnly.

Previously, there were various indications that Qin Pei might know about the Turkic affairs, or even have something to do with the Turks, but for some reason, he always believed that Qin Pei was not a traitor, so although he was worried, he didn't ask too much.

Unexpectedly, it was just a follower offering sacrifices, but in the end it ended up with an unknown ending.

Seeing his sad expression, Zhao Zixi comforted in a low voice, "Although Qin Pei looks weak, he has a strong and indomitable temperament. Since he did this, he must have made a thorough plan."

Liu Zenbo nodded silently, "Tomorrow, I'll go to Chen Yu's mansion again."

After finishing speaking, he saluted and said goodbye, walked a few steps, and suddenly said with a wry smile, "He was the only two of them who were assigned to our punishment department, unexpectedly, none of them got a good death in the end. As a Shangguan, how can my conscience be at ease."

When Zhao Zixi was young, someone once called him a cold-faced gentleman with "snow and skin, jade and bones", and now it seems that he really lives up to his name-the life and death of the proud disciple is uncertain, and he still sits firmly in the Phoenix Pavilion, unmoved by the wind .

"It turned out that when Gu Bing was still alive, he liked the most truthful words. Since you are his disciple, now I will mention you for him, drink and peck. Could it be that it was predetermined? Qin Pei's fruit today is nothing more than the result of his predecessors. Such a cause. You can’t blame God, and you can’t blame fate.” Liu Zenbo was stunned for a while, and frowned, “Since good and evil cause and effect follow each other like a shadow, what about the good fruit planted by Qin Pei himself?”

Zhao Zixi sighed, "I hope that the heavens are also merciful."

Although it has entered autumn, for some reason, the weather has warmed up again.Large tracts of hibiscus in the imperial garden are in full bloom, and they are as colorful as the spring scenery.

After the dynasty was over, Xuanyuan Mian did not return to the Chongwen Hall, but went to the Royal Garden, enjoying the scenery and drinking alone.

When King Luo was dragged here by his concubine, he could see Penglai Pavilion Feige Liudan from a distance, and Taiye Pool as bright as a mirror.

Xuanyuan Mian sat in the Penglai Pavilion, staring in a daze at a pot of bluegrass whose appearance could not be seen.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Luo Wang bowed respectfully, while tugging at the impatient Wangfei beside him who had completely forgotten the etiquette.

Helian Yaxian, who was beside him, had long been impatient with these hypocrisy, and rushed straight, "What's wrong with Qin Pei? Can you give me a letter?"

King Luo broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly pleaded guilty, "Zhuo Jing was born in the general family and doesn't know the rules, please don't blame your highness."

Xuanyuan Mian smiled, "Growing up together, Gu treats her like a real sister. She knows how to be lonely, so how can she be blamed? What's more, she is the emperor's sister-in-law now. It's rude to say that she is lonely. "

It was only then that Helian Yaxian looked at him squarely, the prince had just recovered from a serious illness, his complexion was indeed much better than before, but he was still terribly thin, his cheeks were sunken, and there was no trace of fat left.Although the prince is still gentle and indifferent, no different from the past, but this tranquility is even more shocking.

Thinking of Qin Pei who had never been heard from and whom everyone avoided mentioning, Helian Yaxian felt a pain in her heart, sobbing and said, "Although I am in the inner house, I am not an ignorant woman who is ignorant and talkative, but you are alone Keep it from me. What happened, why did you go to Luojing, King Yong was imprisoned, and Qin Pei simply disappeared? I don’t ask anything else, I just want to know that he is still safe now ?”

It was because she was distressed in the mansion that Luo Wang couldn't resist her for a moment and brought her here. Now seeing her crying miserably, he just stood there and sighed.

"He just had some private matters to deal with, so he didn't come back with Luanjia," Xuanyuan Mian said with a smile, "As for why he didn't tell others, although he is familiar with us, he is only a sixth-rank official. As for telling the world?"

Helian Yaxian looked at his demeanor carefully, saw that although he didn't seem to be fake, but there was always a forced smile on his face, she couldn't help asking, "Then when will he return? Wait a little longer, don't talk about my dog's full moon , I just can’t catch up for a whole week.”

Xuanyuan Mian looked at the flushed King Luo with a half-smile, "Son of a dog? Although a low name is easy to support, but after all, you are a descendant of a dragon and a phoenix, so you don't have to behave like this?"

Helian Yaxian waved her hand, "Wang Luo is a noble man, he doesn't pay attention to these details. Brother Prince, don't change the topic, when will Qin Pei come back?"

As soon as she said "Prince Brother", Luo Wang felt relieved, from "Brother Mian" to "Prince Brother", this journey was not easy for him.

Xuanyuan Mian still smiled gently, "Once his work is done, he will naturally come back."

Helian Yaxian sighed, "I begged him before, the younger brother of the crown prince has someone he likes in the future, he must let me know first, but now no one will tip the news for me."

Xuanyuan Mian paused, then lightly stroked the jade ring on his waist, did not answer, just smiled lightly.

The three of them were silent for a while, just as the setting sun was twilight, a few crimson hibiscus plants were planted beside the Penglai Pavilion, which were dyed blood red by the slanting rays of the setting sun.

"I suddenly remembered a poem by my predecessors about hibiscus," Luo Wang said in a low voice, "Ice is bright and jade is natural, and desolate is spelled as a west winder, who refuses to marry the east wind."

After a while, Xuanyuan Mian said quietly, "Gu Fang suddenly felt something, if elder brother doesn't dislike it, my nephew's name will be Mao Xin."
