After the salted fish is married

face saint

Steward Leng had already led the servants in the mansion to wait at the door. Before the carriage stopped, he hurried up to meet him.Seeing Yan Xining, Butler Leng's eyes turned red a little: "Welcome master back home!"

Yan Xining pushed "Ji Song" out of the carriage, looked at the plaque hanging in front of the palace, and let out a deep breath: "We are back."

Last August, in order to let Ji Song and the others avoid the chaotic situation in Beijing, Emperor Pingyuan let him go to the fiefdom.Unexpectedly, after a few months, the situation in the capital was not stable, but they came back again.

In the eyes of many people, Ji Song and the others made this trip completely unnecessary.Only Yan Xining understood what they had done and what they had gained during this period of time.

It is spring now, and the plum trees in Plum Garden are in full bloom.When walking along the plank road towards Pinmei Garden, bursts of quiet plum fragrance spread into the heart.The big geese under the plum tree still remembered Yan Xining. They flapped their big wings and flew from the lake, making warm welcome sounds as they flew.

After Yan Xining and the others left, Pinmei Garden and Wenzhang Garden were not deserted.Butler Leng and the others have taken care of it properly, and this place is full of life.Walking along the gravel path under the trees in Pinmei Garden, the vegetable fields on both sides are neatly repaired, with a layer of green rapeseed growing inside.The chickens raised by Yan Xining have grown up, and they are leisurely looking for food in the vegetable field.

The small vegetable patch in the courtyard is not abandoned, and vegetables that can survive in winter are planted in it.As soon as he arrived in the yard, Xiaosong immediately let go of his feet and had fun everywhere.

Yan Xining pushed open the gate of Wenzhang Court, and the house was cleaned up.The fire in the stove was burning vigorously, and as soon as he entered the room, a wave of heating accompanied by the familiar smell of incense came to his face.

All this made Yan Xining and the two extremely relaxed, and they had been on the road for several days, the two of them just wanted to stop and have a good rest at this moment.However, it is not yet time for them to rest. They have to clean up and go to the palace to face the Holy Spirit.

They came back for Emperor Pingyuan's birthday, and now that Emperor Pingyuan is not in good health, it would be unreasonable for them as sons and ministers not to go to the palace.

Knowing that Yan Xining and the others are going to enter the palace now, Ye Linfeng put on a half-smile: "Dogs are really good at making troubles."

Yan Xining couldn't laugh or cry: "Genius doctor, please pay attention, this is in the capital."

Ye Linfeng sneered twice: "Go back quickly, tell me about his condition when you come back, and let me see how long he can last."

Yan Xining: ...

He could see that if Ye Linfeng really wanted to kill Emperor Pingyuan, it was just that it was not convenient for him to do so because of the overall situation.

The carriage started again, and Yan Xining, who was sitting in the carriage, was a little uneasy.Bai Tao can fool Ji Liu and Ji Yu, can he fool Emperor Pingyuan?The vicious methods of the Pingyuan Imperial City Mansion are not something they can resist, and if they reveal their secrets, it will be a big disaster.

However, Bai Tao was very confident. He patted his chest and said to Yan Xining: "Young master, don't worry. The prince has already told me how to deal with the emperor. I may not be able to deal with others. It will be no problem to deceive the majesty."

Hearing what Bai Tao said, Yan Xining's mood eased a little: "That's good, remember, you can't make a fuss when you get to the palace later."

Bai Tao chuckled twice: "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely not disappoint you and the prince." He had already rehearsed the scene of talking to the emperor countless times in his mind, so it should be fine.

Talking about Bai Tao rubbing his hands happily, his eyes were filled with anticipation: "Imperial palace~ I never thought I could go to the imperial palace in my lifetime. I heard that the palace where the Holy Majesty lives is made of gold, is it true, young master?"

The corners of Yan Xining's lips twitched: "I've said it many times, only the dragon chair is made of gold."

In Bai Tao's anticipation for the palace, the carriage slowly stopped in front of Shenwu Gate.In front of the Shenwu Gate, there were a lot of carriages parked in black, and the number was more than usual.This is not surprising, now that the princes from all walks of life are gathered in the capital, and it is the birthday of Emperor Pingyuan, they always have to move around more to connect with each other.

Before getting out of the carriage, Bai Tao took a deep breath, and his face slowly sank.Looking at this appearance, it is exactly the same as Ji Song.

As soon as King Rong's carriage appeared, it attracted the attention of many people.Seeing Yan Xining pushing Ji Song into the Shenwu Gate, some princes wanted to approach and strike up a conversation, but "Ji Song"'s expression was too serious, which made these people lose their minds.

But in everyone's opinion, Ji Song's situation is gone.Rather than making friends with King Rong who is fief in Liangzhou, it is better to talk more about feelings with the fifth prince Ji Yu.Once the Holy One falls, one of the three princes will definitely succeed.

When the new emperor came to power, the soldier talisman in King Rong's hand would definitely have to be handed over, and all he would be left with was a barren Liangzhou.A mere King Rong is nothing to be afraid of.

The wheelchair rolled over the stone slab, and under the guidance of the eunuch, Yan Xining and the two walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony where the emperor lived.As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Yan Xining keenly sensed that something was wrong. It was too quiet and serious here.

In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there are at least five teams of imperial guards patrolling, not to mention the imperial guards hidden in every hidden corner of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.The officers and soldiers of the imperial army were wearing armor, with long knives hanging from their waists. Their faces were serious, and a murderous aura filled the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony.The eunuchs and maids who came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony were in a hurry, their heads were lowered, and they didn't even dare to lift their heads.

The huge Hall of Supreme Harmony was so quiet that only the footsteps of the soldiers could be heard. Seeing this scene, even Bai Tao, who was full of confidence, was a little timid.He looked up at Yan Xining, with apprehension and fear in his eyes.

In fact, Yan Xining was also a little apprehensive, but he is now Bai Tao's backbone, if he becomes timid, Bai Tao will panic even more.So he lowered his voice and encouraged, "Don't be afraid."

Seeing that Yan Xining and Yan Xining had arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Yang Shunfa trotted up to greet him, with a happy expression on his face: "My lord and concubine are here, hurry up, please come inside."

Yan Xining said softly, "Eunuch Yang, is Father still in good health?"

Yang Shunfa frowned, although he still had a smile on his face, but the smile was full of bitterness: "Okay, okay. I heard that you are going back to the capital today, the Holy Majesty has been looking forward to you two for a long time."

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was filled with a bitter herbal smell, and the strong ambergris and herbal smell couldn't hide the sour smell from the dragon bed.Yan Xining frowned slightly, it seemed that Emperor Pingyuan was seriously ill.

But why?When he sent himself and Ji Song away half a year ago, he was still in good health.Even though it was only half a year, why did Emperor Pingyuan's body collapse so badly?

Hearing the sound of the wheelchair, Emperor Pingyuan's hoarse and weak voice came from the dragon bed: "It's Rong Chuan and Xining who are here. Quick, help me up."

The curtains of the bed were pulled up to both sides, and Emperor Pingyuan was half lying on the bed.His complexion was dark and yellow, his breath seemed to have thick phlegm stuck in his throat, his voice was a little muffled, but his eyes were still clear.

Seeing that Yan Xining and the others wanted to salute, Emperor Pingyuan quickly waved his hands: "I will give you a seat without a gift. Are you tired from the journey?"

"Ji Song" clasped his hands together: "I would like to report to my father, my son and minister will not be tired."

Emperor Pingyuan looked at Yan Xining and the two lovingly: "Liangzhou is a bitterly cold place, you two have suffered."

Yan Xining smiled and said, "I would like to tell my father that Liangzhou is not as remote as the rumors said, and my son went to Liangzhou to gain a lot. When my father recovers, my son and Rong Chuan will take you to Liangzhou to see us." terraced fields."

Emperor Pingyuan was delighted: "I saw it in the book on Rongchuan, and I have recorded everything you did for the people in Liangzhou."

At this time, the little eunuchs carried the chairs to the side of the dragon bed, and Emperor Pingyuan greeted him, "What are you doing so far away? Get closer."

It wasn't until the eunuchs put the chairs against the edge of the bed that Emperor Pingyuan nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, you all go down, I want to talk to Rong Wang."

The maids and eunuchs left one after another, even Yang Shunfa, who was waiting on the left and right, left.Emperor Pingyuan waved to the two of them: "Come on, Rong Chuan Xining, sit closer and let me take a good look at you."

Yan Xining responded, and he sat down on the chair generously. "Ji Song" followed closely behind, controlling the wheelchair and sitting beside Yan Xining.

Emperor Pingyuan looked at "Ji Song" happily: "Why is Rong Chuan so silent today?"

After being named by the emperor, "Ji Song" trembled and got goosebumps on his back.He wanted to calm himself down, but his heart was beating fast.Too bad, none of the conversations I had imagined in my head were useful.

"Ji Song"'s mind went blank, he opened his mouth and moved his lips but he couldn't say anything.

Seeing that "Ji Song" was about to lose his composure, at the critical moment, Yan Xining held "Ji Song"'s hand and gave him a gentle yet firm look.

"Ji Song" finally calmed down, his eyes were reddish, and his voice was low and sad: "Father passed the scriptures to my ministers several times, only saying that I was in good health. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, where would my father be going to hide it from my ministers?" hour?"

good!Yan Xining really wanted to give Bai Tao a big applause, but in just a few words, she covered up her gaffe and didn't hurt Ji Song and Emperor Yuan's relationship.

Ever since Ji Song found out about Concubine Mei and Duke Ding, whenever he thought of Emperor Pingyuan, his mood was extremely complicated.If it was Ji Song who was present, maybe he was even more silent than Bai Tao just now.

Emperor Pingyuan laughed when he heard the words, with melancholy in his smile: "Father is in his sixtieth year, and your emperor's grandfather has already passed the year when he knew his destiny. Compared with him, father has lived ten years longer. It’s just that the royal father has regrets in his heart, and he can’t close his eyes yet.”

Bai Tao's parents passed away when he was a child, and he couldn't listen to the elderly talking about life and death.After hearing what Emperor Pingyuan said, Bai Tao's eyes were slightly red, and he said seriously: "Father, please don't say anything depressing. There are many famous doctors in Chu and Liao, and they will definitely be able to cure Father."

A small light flashed in Emperor Pingyuan's eyes, and his smile deepened: "With Rong Chuan's words, the emperor will die without regret. By the way, Rong Chuan, when you came to the capital, have you settled down with the soldiers of the Chi Ling Army?"

"Ji Song" nodded and said seriously: "Report to Father, everything is settled."

Emperor Pingyuan smiled and said, "How to settle down?"

Tiny beads of sweat ooze from Yan Xining's head, this question is too sensitive.Especially in such a complicated situation, Emperor Pingyuan's words are quite meaningful.

"Ji Song" said solemnly: "Naturally let the soldiers stay at the station."

Emperor Pingyuan laughed "hahaha": "Hey, okay, okay, it's still Rong Chuan who is pure and filial. Come on, good boy, come to me and let me see you."

The blood on Yan Xining's face faded slightly, and his fingertips trembled unconsciously.Looking at Emperor Pingyuan's bright smile, he had a strange feeling that Emperor Pingyuan must have seen through the identity of "Ji Song".This feeling came suddenly, but it made him feel cold from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet.

"Ji Song" was not as sensitive as Yan Xining, he manipulated the wheelchair and squeezed to Emperor Pingyuan's side.Emperor Pingyuan stretched out his skinny hand to hold "Ji Song"'s hand, his eyes were full of regret and relief: "Good boy, think about it carefully, ever since you went to the military camp, our father and son didn't even have time to sit down and have a good chat." Less. Now Father has a few words from the bottom of his heart to tell you, so listen carefully."

When he said this, Emperor Pingyuan looked at Yan Xining: "As an emperor, you will have a lot of helplessness, you need to weigh the pros and cons, and sometimes you will make choices that you can't help yourself. I have done a lot of things that I had to do in my life , Now that I think about it, although I have regrets, I don’t regret it. I hope that no matter what you do in the future, you will be able to have no regrets in your heart.”

Yan Xining felt that Emperor Pingyuan was speaking to the real Ji Song through him.

Emperor Pingyuan smiled and said: "Although you grew up in the military camp, in my opinion, sometimes you are too benevolent and righteous, which is not advisable. Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. If you don't do it, you don't do it. Once you do it, stick to it to the end." , gods block and kill gods and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas."

All the hairs on Yan Xining's body exploded. Emperor Pingyuan spoke neither fast nor high-pitched, but what he said made him feel cold all over.At this moment, he felt that he and Ji Song's arrangement had been seen through.

How is this possible?Ji Song and the others are very secretive, no one will know their plans except those close to them.

Emperor Pingyuan hadn't finished speaking, but he was exhausted.After he took a few breaths, his eyes were complicated: "A person is useless when he is old, and he can't do it after a few words. Speaking of which, I still have a wish."

Yan Xining's throat rolled twice, and he asked dryly, "What wish?"

Emperor Pingyuan paused and said: "If my son Rong Chuan can stand up, he will surely fulfill my wish. I hope my son can stand up."

A flash of lightning flashed through Yan Xining's mind, that's right, Emperor Pingyuan's ability to become emperor has something to do with his strategy.If he was just an insidious villain, he would not be able to be the emperor for so many years in peace.

Ji Song and the others' grandfather was a licentious, fatuous man.When Emperor Pingyuan took over Chu Liao, Chu Liao was riddled with holes.If Emperor Pingyuan hadn't been tinkering with it for so many years, Chu Liao would have been divided up by the surrounding countries long ago.

Touching his conscience, Yan Xining had to say that Emperor Pingyuan was not a good father, but he could be considered a good emperor.He is well aware of the dispositions of his children, and wants to hand over the country to the most suitable people.

Yan Xining felt sour for a while, Emperor Pingyuan was not chatting, he was clearly saying his last words.His hands were indeed stained with a lot of blood, but these years, his kindness to Ji Song was also genuine.

After Emperor Pingyuan said this, his body tilted slightly, and he lay facing "Ji Song", stroking the back of "Ji Song" with his thin hands: "King Rong, you are a strong man, you can't take it lightly. Eye sockets are red."

"Ji Song" pursed his lips, and he nodded again and again: "Father, I understand."

Emperor Pingyuan stretched out his hand to touch "Ji Song"'s cheek, but when his hand was about to touch Ji Song, he retracted.This time his voice was more gentle: "The palace is very lively these days, if there are princes who don't have good eyesight and offend your Qingjing, you don't have to worry about their face, just slap them."

"Ji Song" nodded again.

Emperor Pingyuan thought for a while and said: "If anyone inquires about the movements of the Chiling Army, you have to tell them: it is a capital offense to inquire about the military situation, but you can't foolishly say that the Chiling Army is still stationed. Do you understand?"

At this moment, if "Ji Song" still doesn't understand that he has revealed his secrets, he is really a fool.It's just that he can't turn the corner. Is His Majesty reminding him?

Seeing the dumbfounded look of "Ji Song", Emperor Pingyuan couldn't help squinting his eyes and admired it: "I've never seen such an expression on my son Rong Chuan's face, it's so good."

Yan Xining looked at the old man on the dragon bed with complicated eyes, Emperor Pingyuan didn't acquiesce in their plan, he was clearly encouraging Ji Song.As expected of someone who can be an emperor, he can see the whole situation clearly while lying on the hospital bed.

Just when Yan Xining was thinking wildly, he heard the voice of Emperor Pingyuan calling him: "Xining."

Yan Xining suddenly came back to her senses: "Father, my son is here."

Emperor Pingyuan looked at Yan Xining expectantly: "That day in Wenzhang Garden, you called me 'Father', can you call me again?"

Yan Xining's heart was sour, he opened his mouth and called out seriously: "Father."

Emperor Pingyuan showed a gratified smile on his face, and he closed his eyes as if he heard the most beautiful voice in the world: "That's great."

Then he turned over and waved his hands: "I'm tired, I have to rest, you go down first."

When pushing the wheelchair away, Yan Xining heard Emperor Pingyuan's vague voice: "Rong Chuan, go forward, don't hesitate and don't look back."
