Linque

This night was a sleepless night for the entire inner city of the imperial capital.

The lights were not extinguished at night, and almost all the aristocratic families and high-ranking nobles were calling the principals and heirs of the various houses in the clan to gather together to discuss urgent matters.Cars and horses are rushing through the streets and alleys of the inner city, some families are happy and others are worried.

The pacification of Changzhou is imminent, and Fang Hongzhen is captured alive and imprisoned. Right now, respecting the king has become secondary. It is just a grasshopper after autumn. What matters is Dongjun, Chu Heng, and Yuqian Shimo.

When these three very different titles referred to the same person, all the families in the imperial capital were shocked.Horrified and stunned are no longer enough to describe the shock when they heard the news. Even the old parents who have been through the storm can't stabilize their minds.

The news came from the palace that afternoon. Numerous officials of the imperial guards along the Suzhang Gate, Guangshun Gate, and Chongji Gate saw that the emperor's shadow guard called the imperial servant Mo "East Lord" to his face. It could not be a joke.

Chu Heng, the second son of Zhong Pinghou's mansion who no one cares about, the mountain flower who has studied martial arts in Lishan for 16 years and has not achieved an inch, and the vase guard who can't carry his shoulders or hands in the Wuying Palace, the emperor's surroundings seem to be overwhelmed The imperial servant Mo used... All these are just floating clouds that block the eyes, and once the clouds are lifted, the sun can be seen impressively.

Jun Ji Wuyue of Lishan Mountain, her reputation, her abilities, and her power are all radiant.

That night, countless people remembered the details that they had neglected in the past. Chu Heng's biological mother and Dongjun Ji Wuyue had the same clan and surname.

There will be no fakes for the imperial servant Mo and Lishan Dongjun.

Both belong to the blood of Zhong Pinghou, although Chu Chen and Chu Xuan who are descended from the first line are also very talented, but the fourth son Chu Yan is faintly superior. Even his sister Chu Xin is also outstanding in Zhongli. As for Chu Heng, In the winter of the fourth year of Xuanxi, Ji Wuyue entered Mahayana, and Lishan Dongjun left——that year, he would be 17 years old.

Their biological mother, Ji Wusuxiu, this little-known woman, was definitely not just a sinful slave.

She must have been amazing in the past.

……

After the shock, all the officials of the aristocratic family were filled with fear.

Because Chu Heng entered Beijing nearly three years ago.No one would think that Mr. Lishandong was his favorite, so he was willing to be an imperial servant only by the emperor's side; likewise, no one would be so naive as to think that the Mahayana realm could enter and leave the palace at will and live in front of the imperial court for a long time, because the emperor did not know it. permission.

It must have been eight years before Xuanxi, and even earlier, the emperor had reached a deal with Lishan, and the emperor really secretly communicated the song without anyone noticing it.When the clans of Kyushu couldn't even see the shadows, the emperor's power had penetrated into places they couldn't imagine. People like the Lishan Ye family who were absolutely neutral could be drawn into their ranks, so the other clans How many forces do you not know?

Emperor Xuanxi's control over Dayin Kyushu has far exceeded their imagination.

The princes and family heads of the Twelve Cities in the south of the Yangtze River who boarded the royal boat are still locked up in the Governor's Mansion in Jindu. After waiting, Qing will stretch his neck and have his neck cut.After King Jing's rebellion was settled, Changzhou, Wanzhou, and Yunzhou were cleaned up one by one.

Back then, those aristocratic families who watched the fire from the other side and hadn't had time to board the boat, now they really have to be so lucky.Cangwu Martial Venerable Fang Hongzhen has been imprisoned, and everyone in the imperial capital who has had close contact with King Jing is terrified and in danger.Secret letters and dark guards from various prefectures were secretly sent from the imperial capital to the main family at the first time, and quickly cut off and cleared away all contacts related to King Jing.

Since the emperor regained the power of the emperor in the sixth year of Xuanxi, it was the first time that the major families in Kyushu were so urgent and unanimously wanted to show their loyalty to the emperor.

The whole family discussed, and the lights were kept on all night. At the dawn of the next day, countless memorials and Chen Biao flew to Shangshutai, all of them praised the merits of the emperor, denounced the traitors who respected the king, and held a heart and loyalty to offer advice and help for the king's rebellion.

The small actions of the major families are all seen by the shadow guards of the Son of Heaven. These clans have had hairpin tassels for generations, and they have already had their own intelligence network in the imperial capital to pass on messages in the dark.But the Shadow Guards of the Son of Heaven are not vegetarians either, and the troubles of the imperial capital cannot escape their eyes.Those high-ranking and honorable households sent letters to their families in a panic, no matter how secretive they were, they could always catch some clues.

After Ling Ye read the secret document presented by the Shadow Guard of the Son of Heaven, the aristocratic families mentioned in it were not the "hardcore" loyal to King Jing, but just some grasshoppers who secretly fished in troubled waters, trying to get the best of both worlds.

Fighting the rebellion and respecting the king is just the reason for Ling Ye to subdue the aristocratic family, and the selection of officials and the reform of the system are more important.Ling Ye would be happy to turn a blind eye to the idiots on the list if they know the current affairs in the future, otherwise, he doesn't mind finding out after Qiu to settle the ledger and talk to them about conspiracy with the party.

Ling Ye calmly put the secret paper into the box under the imperial case, opened today's political regulations, and many important officials from aristocratic families handed over their famous cards to see them, so that they can discuss important matters such as suppressing rebellion, appease the people, and disaster relief.In addition, Ling Ye guessed that these people wanted to come to Jingzhang Palace to see Mo Ji Wuyue, the imperial attendant.

But these people are doomed to be disappointed today, Dongjun is still sleeping on the dragon bed in Mingcheng Palace at this moment.The two of them "fighted" until midnight last night, Ling Ye also woke up late this morning, refreshed after waking up, but Chu Heng was not doing well, his back was sore and his legs were cramping, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart.

When Ling Ye came to Jingcheng Hall in the morning, he didn't even wake up.

The ministers of Jingcheng were discussing matters, and those who accompanied the records and served the pen and ink in front of the imperial court were the bachelors in the imperial study room. All the civil and military officials stretched their necks, but they couldn't see the slightest shadow of the imperial servant in front of him.

I was beating the snare drum in my heart, and I couldn't help feeling sorry.

Where Dongjun went, no one knows.

After the meeting was over, it was getting late, and after returning home to have a hasty meal, everyone got into the carriage and went to Zhongpinghou's mansion by coincidence.

If Dongjun is nowhere to be seen, Dongjun's father will not run away.

The atmosphere of the Chu family has been very low these days, the mansion seems to have gathered a layer of cloud, the head of the family is sullen, and of course other people dare not speak loudly, for fear of getting bad luck.

After breaking up with Zhong Pinghou Chu Hong, Chu Heng never set foot in Zhong Pinghou's mansion for nearly two months.It is not enough to say that there is a clean break. Both the palace and Lishan Luyuan will often send things to the Hou's Mansion. Although it is for Chu Xin and Chu Yan, Chu Heng has never been a person who likes to do things. The other brothers and sisters in the house, even if they have no relationship with them, Lu Yuan will bring some things with him.In Zhong Pinghou's place, there will still be the etiquette that should be done on the surface, but it only stops here.

——Chu Heng himself, passed the gate of the mansion but did not enter.The rest of this face-saving is only in the eyes of Chu Xin and Chu Yan. For Zhong Pinghou, this made him hold his breath in his chest and couldn't let it go.

Yesterday when Chu Heng returned to the capital, the news that the imperial servant Mo was Dongjun immediately spread throughout the imperial capital.Zhong Pinghou's mansion will definitely welcome visits from major families, but even if Zhong Pinghou doesn't want to, he has to admit that Dongjun is not the "Second Prince of Chu" who can play Lao Tzu's prestige by him——from Zhong Ping 20 years ago From the moment Hou nodded and sent him to Lishan, and made up his mind to ignore him, Chu Heng was out of his control forever.

The outsiders still don't know what's going on, and they think that no matter what they say, Dong Jun has to call Zhong Pinghou his father. The laws of heaven and human relations are above all, and even if he is in the Mahayana realm, he has to listen to a few words of what his father said.This afternoon, the flower hall of the Zhongpinghou Mansion welcomed the first wave of visiting guests. Every word they slapped on the sidelines seemed to be slapping Chu Hong's face, which was hot and uncomfortable, but the scene still had to be Hold on.

How long this precarious face will last, it is not with him, but with Chu Heng.But if he wanted Chu Heng to change his mind a little in the future, he had to bow his head.

……

For several days, people in the imperial capital were shaken by what happened to Dong Jun, but Dong Jun himself never showed up in front of people.

No one had the guts to ask the emperor directly, so they had to start elsewhere.

These days, a pair of younger brothers and sisters born of Dongjun's same mother have become "popular people" in the young circle of the aristocratic family.

In the past two years, Chu Yan has been practicing in the Six Departments. Ling Ye observed him secretly. He saw that although he was young, he was down-to-earth and truth-seeking. Unambiguous at all, he taught Chu Yan a lot with all his heart, and paved the way for him with the connections of the Chu family. Chu Yan also opened up the situation in the six parts.The family of the sixteenth family has the shadow of their ancestors, and they will be officially appointed officials after they reach the crown.

In the past few days, as soon as the matter of Dongjun Chuheng came out, the children of the same generation of the aristocratic family, needless to say, those who were familiar with each other in the past, and those who had no friendship before, they should make friends with him, post a post for him, and invite him to drink and eat after the break , it looks like you want to set up a relationship.Chu Yan hasn't seen his brother for a while, so of course he doesn't want to use his brother's name to go out and socialize.

It was the same at Chu Xin's place. The invitations from the ladies of various families to invite her to enjoy the flowers could already be piled up in a pile.

Last summer, when she and Han Chengmiao got married, they went through such a wave.It is certain that the wife of the Korean prince, and the wives and girls of the same generation in the aristocratic circle will naturally take the initiative to meet her.Han Chengmiao has always been the "long-time son-in-law" in the circle of noble girls, but he married such an ordinary concubine like her. Naturally, those girls who are attracted to him can't look at him, and they always like to be sad when they have nothing to do. She said a word.

Chu Xin didn't take it seriously, but Han Chengmiao had heard some rumors that it was useless for him to talk about such things, but he cared more about Chu Xin in action.They haven't formally married yet, and where Han Chengmiao avoids suspicion, his wife and sisters from the family are on top, so that Chu Xin will not be wronged.Although the girl is not from the same family, she is also a noble family, she has neither talent nor character, the most important thing is that she likes Cheng Miao himself, and the two are in love with each other. Isn't this a good marriage?They didn't feel bad about the marriage they came to propose at the Duke's mansion, so it's the turn of others to make irresponsible remarks?

Looking at it again today, those people with pantothenic acid really want to shut up.In this marriage, no one can say that it is too bad for a Korean prince to marry lowly.The younger sister of Ji Wuyue, the Eastern Monarch of the Mahayana, the Ye family of Lishan Mountain is the mother's family. Chu Xin married Han Chengmiao.

What's more, people outside are already admiring the South Korean government's crooked fights, and they are making profits without losing money.After all, in the family of the sixteenth generation, there are girls whose parents are both noble, but there is only one sister in the Mahayana realm who is a mother and compatriot, and her brother is still so young.

So young that he has never even married a relative, Chu Heng, many people have seen him-"Young master should only see paintings", the beauty among beauties, with a graceful and youthful appearance.

In the past, someone secretly commented that in the entire imperial capital, when it comes to looks, men and women are added together, the imperial servant Mo said that he was the second, and no one dared to call it the first.I heard that he used to have the nickname of "Shanhua" in Lishan, and he actually called him, this person's face, wherever he went, he had to be a "flower".

If it weren't for Chu Heng's lack of ability, someone in the aristocratic circle would have already ordered him.

But now, I only regret that I was blind at the beginning!Can't start early!

But fortunately, it's not too late, Dongjun Chuheng, beautiful Shanhua, needless to say, I can't find the second one with the lantern, so hurry up.

Chu Xin didn't know how many of the invitations from noble ladies in Chu Xin's hands came for her brother with undecided engagements, but a few days ago, Ah Yan had something to say to her.

They actually... already have a sister-in-law - her brother already has a relationship, and he and His Majesty have been in love for several years.Unless someone can beat Dongjun and snatch the emperor, there will be no way.

Maybe it won't be long before Dayin Kyushu will usher in a Dongjun Queen.

Chu Xin was in a very complicated mood. She had been digesting this matter silently these days, and had no intention of socializing with others at all.
