The King's Favor [Rebirth]

There is a set of rules for the emperor to get married. In the past, it took a long process for the emperor to establish a queen. The preparatory work alone was cumbersome.Otherwise, Qi Jingyuan would not have pushed the little emperor's marriage for a long time on the grounds of propriety.

This time he didn't care about it. Under the empress dowager's tossing and the little emperor's acquiescence, the marriage came in a hurry.

But after all, it is an imperial wedding, and some ceremonies can be brief or even less, but there are still many necessary procedures.

After doing this, the people in the Ministry of Rites are going crazy.

No one else intervened in this matter, it was entirely the Queen Mother who made up her mind.

When they were busy, Qi Jingyuan and Xie Linxi were very leisurely.

Qi Hanzhang, who was their concern, has been checking the people behind the notes these days, but this matter was entirely facilitated by Xie Linxi, how could it be possible for him to easily grasp the handle.

On the other hand, Qi Hanzhang's reaction to the note has proved that the matter has something to do with him.

Zhangqiu is a dude, and he doesn't have the strength to be a dude.

He relied on his father's reputation to make money, but his father's official position was not high, and the people who wooed Zhang Xian only valued his reputation.In order to show that his family has the ability to fight against the regent, Zhang Qiu humiliated Qi Hanzhang in public, and then died in a miserable state.

It's not that Xie Linxi doesn't advocate revenge, it's just that killing people is nothing more than nodding, so there's no need to kill.

Thinking of all the things Qi Hanzhang had done in his own house, Xie Linxi felt startled. As the saying goes, people should not be judged by appearances, and this is not false at all.

When the capital was turbulent, Qin Nian came to the household department again with the IOU from the household department.

This time he was not alone, he was accompanied by Xie Linxi.

Qin Nian sat in the household department again, feeling very emotional in his heart.

Before he entered Beijing, he had been thinking about how to keep the Qin family's family business, and now the family business is still firmly in his hands.In the past, he didn't dare to think that one day the money borrowed by the imperial court could be returned to him, and the IOUs in his hand could be exchanged for real things.

Comparing Qin Nian's relaxedness and Xie Linxi's indifference, the household officials were scolding their mothers in their hearts.

Since ancient times, it is difficult for money to go out after entering the household department.The money of the household department belongs to the world, but the officials of the household department always regard it as their own. They are happy when they go in, but they feel distressed when they come out.

Even if the emperor wanted the Ministry of Households to pay out money, he had to have a reason to convince the ministers.

Now there is an exception, an accident that everyone in the world knows that he is so righteous that even the court cannot violate his conscience, Qin Nian.

It is known all over the world that people give money, and it is known all over the world that they want money.

These days Qin Nian runs to the household department every day, which is very annoying, they all draw lots to decide who will receive him.

With Xie Linxi here today, he couldn't avoid it. The money he just bought had to be returned before it was warmed up.

Thinking of this, the faces of the officials of the household department became ugly.But when he saw the evil star sitting beside Qin Nian, this ugly look turned into a dry smile.

Smiling without distraction, very ugly, like a clown.

Qin Nian had contact with many officials, but only after entering the capital did he realize that the world is so big, officials have different temperaments, and there are not a few people who behave like the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Seeing their distorted appearance, Qin Nian really wanted to laugh out loud.But because of his status, he endured the smile and hid it deep in his eyes.

Xie Linxi's presence represented the meaning of the Regent.

No matter how reluctant the household department was, it still settled the money owed to Qin Nian as quickly as possible.

After the matter was over, a group of officials from the household department politely sent the two of them away.

After Qin Nian walked out of the household department, he couldn't help sighing, "I never thought it would be so smooth."

He understands the truth that the family's great business is too eye-catching, but the title of the richest man in Jiangnan, either he or someone else, has to be occupied.

His voice is not loud, only Xie Linxi who is beside him can hear him, and he only speaks for Xie Linxi.

Xie Linxi didn't raise her eyes and said calmly: "Since the prince has opened his mouth about the matter of money, he will be responsible to the end. It doesn't make any difference whether it is easy or difficult."

Qin Nian looked at him firmly: "I didn't enter Beijing because of the prince, but because there are people like Commander Xie beside the prince."

A prince, especially a regent, is too lofty to be touched by them.As everyone said, they didn't know Qi Jingyuan well, and they didn't know what he had in mind for the Qin family.

But he has been in contact with Xie Linxi and knows what kind of person Xie Linxi is.So he took a gamble in the predicament, he knew that now the Qin family was connected with the regent.

Once the regent has something, their Qin family will never suffer.

But a person's life is not like this, when things are in front of him, he has no choice but to make a choice.

He did what he had to do, the rest was up to God.

Xie Linxi raised his eyes to look at Qin Nian and said loudly: "You will never fail the prince, and the prince will never betray you."

This is what Qin Nian wanted, at this moment he finally opened his throat and laughed.

After Xie Linxi sent the man back, he returned to the palace.

Qi Jingyuan hadn't come back from the palace yet, it seemed that the palace was extremely empty.

The servants of the Wangfu regard him as the second master of the Wangfu and respect him very much, but Xie Linxi still feels empty everywhere.

The only thing that was more lively was Zuo Ran's sound of reading.

Zuo Ran, the only surviving member of the Zuo family.

At first when he arrived at the palace, he trembled and thought that he was going to die soon, but later he found that Qi Jingyuan and Xie Linxi didn't intend to kill him at all, so he started to make all kinds of troubles again.

Xie Linxi thinks she can't deal with this kind of half-grown child, and whenever she arrives at the palace, she avoids it.

Qi Jingyuan also had a headache, and then he came up with a good idea to forcefully throw him to the teacher and force him to study and study every day.

The time was taken up by reading, so Zuo Ran had no other time to make noises, so the palace was much quieter.

Xie Linxi stood in front of the window and looked at Zuo Ran, maybe it was because of relatives and friends being wiped out, maybe it was because of other things, he was much more calm these days. .

Zuo Ran is very smart and likes to read. The teachers in the palace are very knowledgeable, much better than ordinary people. Zuo Ran learned a lot from him.

Xie Linxi listened to the questions and answers from the old and the young at the window. After listening for a while, she left quietly without disturbing them.

When he walked out of the courtyard, he saw Qi Jingyuan standing in front of the door.

Qi Jingyuan frowned when he saw him: "This kid is very noisy, you won't be afraid of getting a headache when you see him."

"Wicked people have their own grind." Xie Linxi said with a slight smile.

Qi Jingyuan snorted coldly, looking resentful and impatient.

The two walked towards the inner hall without speaking much.

They knew in their hearts that leaving Zuo An in the palace was not only to protect his life, but also to let him testify against Xiang.

During this period of time, Zuo Ran made the Wangfu go crazy, but he was no longer frightened, and his heart seemed to have settled down.

But sooner or later, he will have to face the enemy who killed his kin.He wants to recall the scene when he faced death, and the sad voice when his family was killed.

I have to tear open the scabbed wound with my own hands and show it to the world.

He is very young, and this burden is heavy, Xie Linxi sometimes wonders if he can shoulder it.

It's just that if you can't afford it, you have to bear it. Sometimes fate is like this, and the cycle of cause and effect.

Xie Linxi knew in her heart that Qi Jingyuan had made complete preparations, and was just waiting to provoke a mouth with a cause.

Once the opening is opened, there is no way for everyone to retreat.

It's either Zuo An or someone else who will tear away the illusion of peace on the surface of the capital, and Zuo An is the most suitable.

The tranquility of the palace is just an illusion, and it will soon disappear.

Qi Jingyuan looked at Xie Linxi who was lost in thought, and he quietly held the man's hand.

When Xie Linxi raised his eyes, he smiled like that, Xie Linxi also smiled, and shook his hand back slightly.

What he thought was very simple, no matter what the road ahead was, or what the ending was waiting for them, he would accompany Qi Jingyuan.

@@@

Half a month before the emperor's wedding, an incident happened in the capital. A young son beat the drum in front of the Xuanyu Gate to express his grievances.

Playing the Ming Drum requires the emperor's own trial.

Those who beat the drums, no matter how wronged they are, will be punished with one hundred lashes.

If the sentence is not executed, it can be seen that the emperor has expressed his grievances.

This regulation is also to prevent people from deliberately beating the drums. Daqi's world is too big, and everyone has to come to beat the drums, and the emperor would have died of exhaustion.Unless someone has a great injustice, the drum will not sound easily.

It's just that the drummer today is a half-grown child who treats death like home, and the left and right drum guards looked at each other in blank dismay, so they had to go to the palace to report first, and then make a decision.

The sound of the drums resounded throughout the capital, hitting everyone's hearts bit by bit.

The people who knocked were panicked and very disturbed.

An old man looked in the direction of the palace from the corner of the capital, muttering in his mouth that the wind is blowing and the sky is about to change.

No one knows if it will change.

Gu Wei reported the matter to the emperor and the regent who were in court as quickly as possible.

After hearing this, Qi Jingyuan looked at the little emperor and said nothing.

The little emperor was a little curious about the complainer, but Qi Jingyuan didn't open his mouth, and he couldn't say anything.

After being silent for a while, Qi Jingyuan said: "Since the youngest son complained of grievances, let him go to the hall to state his grievances."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Mingyi stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, you can't just complain and be punished. This rule was established by the Tai-zu, and the prince violated the ancestral system."

As soon as he heard the sound of the drum, Ji Mingyi's heart beat rapidly, and when he heard that it was a child, his heart beat even more violently.Others don't know about the Zuo family's situation, but he knows best. This child has never been under their control, and now it suddenly appears at this juncture, which is probably not good.

He has a feeling that if this matter is not stopped, things will definitely get to the point where it is difficult to deal with it.

Speaking of these, for some reason, he suddenly raised his head and glanced at Qi Jingyuan.

In his heart, he believed that Qi Jingyuan was not as good as before to the little emperor, and that Qi Jingyuan was rebellious, but he thought that this person should at least be fully prepared.What happened today is probably aimed at him.

Qi Jingyuan glanced lazily at Ji Mingyi, and then at the little emperor.

The little emperor looked at the Taifu and then at Qi Jingyuan in embarrassment, took a deep breath and said: "Uncle Emperor, since it is a rule left by our ancestors, we should obey it."

Qi Jingyuan sneered from the bottom of his heart, but didn't show anything on his face. He said: "This is the rule left by the ancestors, but the ancestors never thought that a child would play this drum in a hundred years. The emperor must obey the rules, and the child's life must be taken care of." Hu, if this is the case, the punishment will be halved, and I will resign myself to fate."

After hearing this, Ji Mingyi wanted to say something, but the little emperor was already relieved, and he said, "It's just like the emperor uncle said."

Ji Mingyi's heart choked, and he swallowed the words again.

Gu Wei led the order and went away. After a while, the sound of bells and drums stopped.

The little emperor was sitting on the dragon chair. He wanted to see the person who played the drum, but he was also afraid that he would die under the punishment. His mood was up and down and he was uneasy.

The little emperor looked at the way from the main hall, and suddenly a thought popped into his mind, the time passed really slowly today.

The life and death of a child is left to people's uneasy speculation in this slow incident.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a quarter of an hour or maybe a stick of incense.

The inner guard carried a child into the hall.

This child is none other than Zuo Ran.

He was covered in blood from the waist down, and his face was extremely pale, but he was still alive and his eyes were bright.

Because he had just been punished, he swayed when he got up to say hello, blood filled the hall.

It's not that the monarchs and ministers in the hall have never seen anyone injured or dead, but today is very different, everyone's attention is on this Zuo Ran.

Being stared at like this, Zuo Ran still saluted the emperor.

The little emperor let him flatten with a trembling voice, and then asked him why he was beating the drums.

Zuo Ran tried his best to speak loudly: "The grassroots Zuo An is the son of Zuo Min..."

He thought his voice was loud, but it was actually very small, but he could still be heard in the silent and empty hall.

In a word, the civil and military officials were alarmed.

The little emperor's expression changed abruptly, he clasped the dragon chair firmly with his hands, and only heard Zuo An's pale face intermittently talk about his case and request, and finally he gasped and said: "Caomin sued Xiang Ming, the commander of the Jingji camp in front of the emperor, Bring people to the ground to become bandits, punish Zuo's family, ask the emperor to be the master, and ask the prince to be the master."

The whole court was quiet, and people's eyes were cruising back and forth on Zuo Ran and Ji Mingyi.

Ji Mingyi's expression remained unchanged, and he stood proudly.

In the silence, Qi Jingyuan spoke. He looked at He Yun and said, "He claims to be the orphan of the Zuo family. Can He Guogong recognize this person?"

He Yun went out, he walked up to Zuo Ran and took a closer look.

Zuo Ran grinned at him and said, "It was He Guogong's birthday that year, and my mother brought us into the Duke's mansion. I was playful and even fell into the water..."

He Yun closed his eyes slightly, then turned to look at Qi Jingyuan and said, "It's indeed Zuo's orphan."

"Since He Guogong recognizes it, it seems that it is not faked by others." Qi Jingyuan said.

He Yun bowed his head and remained silent.

Xie Linxi stood on the sidelines coldly. After all, He Yun is a man of conscience. If he kills him and refuses to recognize Zuo An's identity, it will take a lot of work.

"Your Majesty, the case of the Zuo family's extermination has always been pending. Now it's time for Xuan Xiangming to enter the palace and confront each other." Qi Jingyuan said.

The little emperor gave him a fixed look, then retracted his gaze, and said in a solemn voice: "All the emperor's uncles are in charge."

Qi Jingyuan looked indifferent, and asked someone to come and see him by name.

Xiang Ming is in Yingwei, Gyeonggi, so naturally he can't escape.

Before he came, Qi Jingyuan made the decision and asked Xie Linxi to bring Zuo An to the side hall to heal his injuries first.

When the imperial doctor bandaged his wound, Zuo An bared his teeth and tears rolled down his face, but he didn't cry out.

Xie Linxi looked away and turned his eyes away.

After the imperial physician left, Zuo Ran whispered, "Can the case of Zuo's family be cleared?"

Xie Linxi didn't make a sound yet, and he said again: "I can definitely."

He is young, but not stupid. He doesn't know what kind of people Qi Jingyuan and Xie Linxi are, but he knows that these two people will not kill him.

These days, Xie Linxi has been taking him to the place where the guards of the Jingji camp stayed.

He had seen Xiang Ming, met many people, and then heard a familiar voice from inside, and then saw a face that made him dare not forget it even in sleep.

There are a lot of people who killed the Zuo family, and there are always people who are not so close, and sometimes they drop a mask halfway, and then they will be scolded by the leader.

Hiding in the dark, he could see clearly, and he could hear the plea for sin clearly.

Zuo Ran has always been unable to figure out why someone would kill someone with such peace of mind, and then plant the blame on others.

Can anything be done for power?

Xie Linxi said that he would have to suffer a bit to sue for impeachment before he could thoroughly investigate the Zuo family's murder case.

he came.

He doesn't understand power, he doesn't understand the situation in the capital, but he understands the death of a relative.No one helped him, so he came by himself.

Xie Linxi looked at Zuo Ran who was gritting his teeth to stop his crying, and said softly: "You have been tortured, take a rest, you will go to the palace soon."

"I'm fine." Zuo Ran said with a smile: "The guard who beat me didn't use much force, only the last few lashes hurt a little, and my injury looks scary, just take it for two days and it will be fine."

Xie Linxi didn't say a word, no matter how hard she tried, she was still beaten.

After waiting for a while, I heard the inner eunuch yelling to pass Zuo An into the hall.

Xie Linxi led Zuo An into the main hall, and then stood aside.

As soon as he stood firm, he heard Xiang Ming's roar, and he said, "You yellow-mouthed kid, who ordered you to frame me?"

Xie Linxi raised his eyes, only to see Xiang Ming staring at Zuo An with big eyes angrily, his expression seemed to eat someone up.

If it were placed on ordinary people, it would definitely be scary.

But Zuo Ran was a person who had died once, he was not afraid, and even smiled when the same name looked at each other.

Xiang Ming was terrified by his smile, but he didn't take a step back, so he didn't seem so guilty.

Xiang Ming continued: "I have no grievances with you, why on earth did you do this?"

Zuo Ran said: "You bear the lives of dozens of people from my Zuo family, how come you have no injustice or enmity?"

After Xiang Ming said these words, he didn't want to argue with him. After attacking the Zuo family, he made sure that nothing was missing except for the special arrow for the Regent's Palace.

Even if Zuo Ran told the truth, he had no evidence.

No one can prove that even if it is the truth, no one will believe it, and the murder of the Zuo family has nothing to do with him.

So Xiang Ming knelt in the direction of the little emperor, he said: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged."

The little emperor looked at Xiang Ming and then at Qi Jingyuan, with a puzzled look on his face.

Qi Jingyuan lowered his eyes and looked at Zuo An without saying a word.

Xie Linxi took a slight step, and said: "The emperor and the prince mean that you said that Mr. Xiang wiped out the Zuo family. Is there any evidence for this?"

"I saw the face of one of them and heard his voice," Zuo An said.

Xie Linxi continued to show pity with a slightly sympathetic expression. He shook his head and said, "You sue Mr. Xiang before the imperial court. Your words alone cannot be used as evidence. If you don't have other evidence, you are falsely accusing the court officials."

Xiang Ming sneered and said, "It doesn't matter if you are a child or an old man, you will be punished for falsely accusing the imperial court."

Zuo Ran looked sad, he lowered his eyes, then he suddenly raised his head and said: "I heard them talk about a secret, and our Zuo family was silenced for this secret."

The little emperor sitting on the throne stared at Xiang Ming. Xiang Ming looked calm. He thought he hadn't said anything he shouldn't have said, so he didn't take Zuo Ran's so-called secret to heart at all.

"The people who killed my Zuo family once said that my father, Zuo Min, deserves to die because he knows too much." Zuo An said word by word.

Xie Linxi raised his eyebrows, and he said, "What's the secret?"

Under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials, Zuo Ran straightened up and said loudly: "My father knows the secret decree of the late emperor, and there is a statement on it that if the emperor can't be used, the regent can replace him."
