After the emperor got married, he collapsed and set up

Just when the carriage entered Qingzhou, Yang Yanqing stopped An Yi who was driving straight towards the official road, and said, "Take the border road."

An Yi stopped the carriage, turned to look at Xiao Jinghe.

Xiao Jinghe narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and bit Yang Yanqing's earlobe punishingly, and whispered close to his cochlea: "Just think about him like this? Be careful raising a man-eating wolf cub."

Yang Yanqing pushed Xiao Jinghe's head away, and said with a proud expression: "I'm not afraid of wolves, but wolf cubs?"

"Aren't you afraid?" Xiao Jinghe raised his eyebrows.

Yang Yanqing's eyes turned around Xiao Jinghe's Xiasanlu, and he snorted softly: "What's so scary?"

Xiao Jinghe: "..."

Xiao Jinghe, who was choked upright, nodded to An An who was still waiting for the order.

An Yi lowered the curtain, turned the horse's head and whipped the horse's head towards the path next to the official road, and the carriage moved forward again. This time, the four people in the carriage could obviously feel the bumps even more.

Since Xiao Yun heard Sang Nianqi say that Yang Yanqing was poisoned, he became more and more silent, his brows were slightly frowned as if he was thinking about something, and from time to time he would raise his head and look at Yang Yanqing with complicated eyes.

Xiao Jinghe didn't press Sang Nianqi's meaning, but just dismissed the matter lightly and didn't mention it again.

Taking a small road around the border to enter Qingzhou Mansion in a big circle is not as fast as taking a straight official road. The original half-day journey was stretched to two days, but this evening, An Yi, who is familiar with the terrain, drove the carriage. In a small village on the border.

In Qingzhou, all experienced merchants and darts will try their best to avoid traveling at night. The night is the best concealment for those barbarians. It is winter when robbery accidents are frequent. able to take risks.

***

This village seems small, but there are many people. When they came, it was already nightfall, and the children in the village were called back home by the adults. The doors and windows of every household were locked tightly, and even the candles were all extinguished.

When An Yi went to say hello, those common people almost responded through the door panels, only saying that the vacant houses were free to them, and their attitude was very vigilant and indifferent.An Yi then tidied up the two adjacent rooms, and the group of people tidied up hastily and then began to rest.

The journey from Yunzhou to Qingzhou was really tiring, and the carriage on the last section was also very bumpy. Except for Xiao Jinghe who was already used to fighting, the rest of the people really couldn't bear it.

In the middle of the night, when he was sleeping soundly, Xiao Jinghe, who was resting with Yang Yanqing in his arms, suddenly opened his eyes, pulled his arms out from under Yang Yanqing's neck, turned over and got out of bed, squatted down|put his palms on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Yang Yanqing slightly straightened up and looked at Xiao Jinghe under the bed.

Xiao Jinghe pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "There is a group of cavalry approaching." If the number of people is roughly estimated according to the frequency of the sound of horseshoes, there may be more than twenty people.

Twenty cavalry, if it is Qingzhou garrison, it is no problem, even bandits are not to be feared, but if the twenty are extremely good at horseback fighting brutal barbarians, I am afraid that things are not so simple.

Xiao Jinghe was already vigilant, he just took off his outer robe, now he pulled the clothes next to him and put it on, and said to Yang Yanqing: "I'll go out and have a look, you are accompanied by An Yi and An Er, call them if you need anything."

"Ah."

Yang Yanqing nodded, and got dressed after Xiao Jinghe went out. After thinking about it, he went to the next yard and woke up Xiao Yun and Sang Nianqi.

Xiao Yun didn't seem to have slept soundly, and soon woke up.

Sang Nianqi was raised by Pishi since he was a child, and he didn't find it difficult to sleep in another place: "Sir...? Is it dawn so soon?"

Yang Yanqing sat down by the bed: "Why sleep? Get up and talk to me."

Sang Nianqi: "...??" What did you say in the middle of the night?

Turning around and getting under the quilt, Sang Nianqi's eyelids drooped again.Xiao Yun crawled out softly and sat next to Yang Yanqing on the bedside, calling "Mr." in a low voice.

"It's the first time to sleep with others, are you not used to it?" Yang Yanqing asked the little emperor with clear eyes and no sleepiness. At night, when Xiao Yun proposed to share a room with Sang Nianqi for convenience, Yang Yanqing was a little surprised. Although the favored prince of the cold palace is a bit dilapidated and deserted, Xiao Yun at least has a palace of his own.

Xiao Yun shook his head and asked softly, "Did something happen outside?"

Yang Yanqing replied: "I'm not sure yet. This is the border area of ​​Qingzhou, where barbarians often burn, kill and loot, but it shouldn't be such a coincidence that we bumped into it."

"But sir, don't you just want me to see this?" Xiao Yun's eyes were deep and pure black, and his eyes didn't look like a young man at all, "That day, when I said that, did sir treat me... disappointment?"

Yang Yanqing was silent for a long time this time before slowly saying: "Young master, how do the people in these places live?"

Xiao Yun couldn't answer, because his attention had never been on this aspect, even if he passed the cultivated fields on the way, he never thought of raising the curtain of the car to take a look and ask a question.

"Little Master, how do the people live under the rule of the Daqing Dynasty?" Yang Yanqing asked again.

The corners of Xiao Yun's lips twitched, he looked at the simple thatched hut he lived in at this time, and thought of the prosperity of the capital again, so he didn't say a word.

"Six years ago, the first emperor brought me into office. At that time, in the Daqing Dynasty, the prefectures governed independently, and the governors were like local emperors. They were three points more ruthless than Wang Xingguo, who once let the little prince scold him. The annual harvest of the land can be allocated to the hands to support the family for the winter, and less than half of it." Yang Yanqing saw that Xiao Yun was calmer than the previous few days, so he was willing to say more, "Actually, at that time, if Qingzhou fell, it would be too late." Or the king of Jingbei rebelled, and Daqing couldn't support it at all. That's why after His Majesty ascended the throne, I would use all means and regardless of the consequences to kill the rebellious imperial relatives and important officials in the court, just to quell the chaos in the inner court in the shortest possible time."

"Although there are still differences in the cabinet, more ministers of the Qingliu have the right to speak. After the spring of the next year, the court will be stationed with fresh blood. But your majesty... the minister has spent all his efforts to clean up the court. , and how can I rest assured that I will hand it over to His Majesty?"

Xiao Yun raised his eyes, seeing the exhaustion in Yang Yanqing's eyes under the dim candlelight, he was suddenly speechless.

"Your Majesty, ambition and ability have coexisted since ancient times, and power and responsibility belong to the same mother. You must first learn to see the world before you know how to govern her." Yang Yanqing once again raised his hand to caress Xiao Yun's forehead, as if for a long time. When I saw the thin prince in Lenggong Chuchu a long time ago, his voice was soft and gentle, "What I want you to see is not the merits of King Jingbei, but to let you know that living in the capital is full of singing and dancing. It is your people, but it is your people who are struggling for food and clothing in a poor land, and are coveted by foreign enemies every day."

Those soldiers stationed at the border are not just the words of the battle report on the memorial.

Xiao Yun's two hands were tightly interlaced and pinched together on his knees, silent.

"But it's okay, don't worry." Yang Yanqing said softly, "There is still time."

Behind the two of them, Sang Nianqi, who had plunged into the quilt and closed his eyes, opened his eyes, and covered his mouth tightly with both hands, his eyes were full of surprise.

……

When the sky was about to light up, Xiao Jinghe came back with a chill all over his body.

Seeing Yang Yanqing in the room here, he didn't say anything, he just said: "It's a barbarian, try to lure it away."

Although the barbarians are rampant, they are very afraid of the Jingbei Army in Qingzhou, especially because most of these small groups of criminals are smuggled immigrants, and they will never choose to confront the Jingbei Army. The barbarians thought that the Jingbei Army was patrolling and stationed here, so they lured them to other places for the time being.

"Then we set off tomorrow?" Yang Yanqing raised his eyes.

Xiao Jinghe frowned for a while, and said, "If you're not in a hurry, let's stay for another three days."

The time to steal the little emperor out this time was not short. Although it was a period of closure, the whereabouts of the emperor Yilu still had to be recorded at all times.Yang Yanqing then set his mind on King An, and left a letter to King An after beheading it first. He was afraid that King An would be so angry in the capital at this moment, but he still had to find a way to conceal Yang Yanqing's behavior. people in the palace.

But if the emperor is still missing during the celebration in the palace on New Year's Eve, even King An might be a little bit overwhelmed.

"Yes. I wrote to Uncle An and asked him to find a young man with a figure similar to mine to sit there." It was Xiao Yun who answered, and it was the first time he looked directly at Xiao Jinghe without any emotion , with a serious expression on his face, and his self-proclaimed title has also become the emperor's appellation, "But Uncle Wang wants to tell me why I'm staying here?"

Xiao Jinghe was a little uncomfortable with the little emperor who spoke so normally, and was even more surprised that Xiao Yun would propose to let someone disguise himself to sit on the dragon chair instead. You know, even if it is disguised, sitting in that position is already It is outrageous.

"The barbarians usually roam around in groups of four or five people. Just now, the king found out that there are as many as 27 people in this team, which is unreasonable." Xiao Jinghe paused, "This king guessed that the team should not be ordinary people. The robbers and barbarians are the vanguard scouts before the barbarian army attacks."

Calculating the time, the New Year's Eve is approaching, and it is indeed time for the barbarians to be restless. If they choose to make a large-scale invasion on New Year's Eve, let alone whether the Jingbei Army stationed will be able to reinforce them in time. No matter what, the city is somewhat slack because of the New Year's Eve. all the people will surely suffer.

"Okay, then wait for three days." Xiao Yun said.

Letting go of Yang Yanqing's sleeves, bowing to put on his boots, Xiao Yun jumped off the edge of the bed, raised his head and said to Xiao Jinghe: "Let's talk."

Yang Yanqing was taken aback.

Xiao Jinghe was also taken aback for a moment, curled his lips into a smile, and immediately made a gesture of invitation.

Xiao Yun straightened up and walked out of the room without turning her head.

Xiao Jinghe and Yang Yanqing looked at each other and walked out.

Immediately, only Yang Yanqing and Sang Nianqi were left in the room. Yang Yanqing patted Sang Nianqi who wanted to shrink into a corner, and said calmly, "Don't pretend, I know you are awake."

Sang Nianqi sat up with a smile and listened to something she shouldn't have heard. Now he faltered and scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

There was a smile on the corner of Yang Yanqing's mouth, his voice was gentle, but sharp arcs were drawn at the corners of his eyes: "Xiao Sang, who taught you to tell the emperor and King Jingbei about my poisoning?"
